Unexpectedly, when he saw Sun Li, his first sentence was: "Senior brother, are you sure you want to attack Chang'an City?" ”

Wu Zhao nodded: "Chang'an City is the base camp of Lu Bu's army, and it is also the most powerful and prosperous main city of Lu Bu. After capturing Chang'an, Lu Bu almost lost half of his life, why not attack? ”

Sun Li smiled and said, "Senior brother, I have other plans. Sun Tzu's art of war has clouds, the upper army is the first to fight, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city. If you want to attack Chang'an City, the casualty rate of your subordinates will be extremely high, have you considered this very terrible consequence? ”

Wu Zhao muttered: "But Chang'an City is here, how can you get it without attacking?" ”

Sun Li shook his head and said, "I have looked at the terrain, and I'm afraid it's too late to build a city now." The city is not built in a day, Chang'an City is an ancient city of hundreds of years, and generations of craftsmen have repeatedly repaired it to have today's solid and majestic city. And we have to build a fortress here, and we don't have time to burn bricks, so we can only build an earthen city. Lu Bu's army is the best at cavalry, and once they defeat Ma Chao, they will definitely lead the cavalry back to help. The fortress we hastily built didn't do much at all. And Chang'an City is one of the few fortified cities in the world, once you have not captured it when Lu Bu returns to the army, you will have to face the combined attack of Lu Bu and Gao Shun who went out of the city. The odds are too low. ”

This question really stopped Wu Zhao. After returning to the camp that day, he called Fa Zheng, but before he could ask, Fa Zheng said first: "My lord, the way of the art of war is ever-changing. When I was looking at the nearby terrain just now, I suddenly had a thought: why do we have to wait for Lu Bu to attack? Instead of building a city behind our army camp, it is better to build a city in the direction of Chang'an City to prevent Gao Shun from coming to the rescue. Then divide the army to the north and encircle Lu Bu with Ma Chao, as long as Lu Bu is captured alive, why worry about Chang'an? Lu Buxin is stable, there is not much food and grass, and people's hearts are unstable, the reason why he did not immediately lead the army south to rescue Chang'an is to make a big gamble! He wanted to quickly defeat Ma Chao and then gain a firm foothold in Xiliang. Ma Chao is brave and unstrategic, and there are no wise and resourceful people under his command, Ma Yunluo also left Xiliang, which is easier to deal with than our army. ”

Wu Zhao's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" ”

Fa Zheng smiled slightly: "The lord is eager to win, and naturally hopes to take the big city of Chang'an." Filial piety is stingy, and he wants to avenge the revenge of being plotted by Jia Xu, which makes the lord laugh. ”

Wu Zhao laughed: "Filial piety, kindness must be repaid, and revenge must be avenged, which can be regarded as the true character of a husband." But if it's a small grudge between your own people, you still have to have the grace to forget.

Fa Zheng nodded in agreement, and Wu Zhao no longer dwelled on these subsections, and asked, "Xiaozhi, in your opinion, how long will it take for Lu Bu to defeat Ma Chao?" ”

Fa Zheng said categorically: "In less than a month, Ma Chao will inevitably be defeated!" Ma Chao was defeated, Lu Bu attacked in two ways, and Wuwei and Tianshui each needed a month to capture. Coupled with Dunhuang and other small cities, it is full of calculations, and Lu Bujun can eat Xiliang in three months. But it will take half a month for our army to make siege equipment, and it will take another half a month to clean up all kinds of traps and fortresses outside Chang'an City, and it will be difficult to capture Chang'an City in the remaining two months. Therefore, our army should immediately send troops north to support Ma Chao! Ma Chaojun learned that our army's reinforcements were about to arrive, so he must be able to support it for a while longer. Ten days later, our army arrived outside Anding City, and Lu Bu's army did not dare to divide his troops to attack Tianshui and Wuwei. As long as Lu Bu and Jia Xu are captured, even if Gao Shun still chooses to hold on, the morale of the army under his command will be dispersed. ”

Since Fa Zheng and Sun Li's views are the same, Wu Zhao no longer hesitated and took the case: "Okay! Someone come, pass my general order, immediately order 50,000 troops, and send troops north! In addition, send an envoy back to Hanzhong and let Zhang Ren lead an army of 5,000 to the south to guard against Gao Shun! He also sent another envoy to contact Ma Yunluo, hoping that she would coordinate with her to send troops to recover Xiliang. As for whether Ma Yunluo is willing or not, he can only resign himself to fate. After all, Ma Yunluo is not his subordinate at the moment.

Since they were going to attack Lu Bu, Luan Tingyu and Sun Li naturally accompanied them as guest secretaries, and Fa Zheng had to bring them. In view of Xue Xiantu's weakness to Shang Gaoshun, Wu Zhao left Meng Liang and Jiao Zan behind, and only brought Deng Fei and Sun Erniang to protect him. In addition, the big killer sword and shield hand, and the five buckets of rice ghost pawns led by Yang Ren also brought with them.

The army of 50,000 included 10,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry and 10,000 archers. Wu Zhao personally led the infantry, the cavalry was led by Yang Ren, and the archers had to be handed over to Deng Fei and Sun Erniang. Deng Fei led the troops independently for the first time, and he was very scared.

After marching for a few days, just out of Chang'an City, a scout came to report: "Tell the lord, there is a skirmish ahead, and it seems that a team of horse dealers is resisting the rogues!" ”

Wu Zhaoqi said: "The villagers here are so strong, can they defend against the rogues? How many people are on each side? ”

The scout said, "There are about fifty or sixty of the villagers, all on horseback. There were about four or five hundred of them. ”

Wu Zhao praised: "Interesting! "The order was given to suspend the march and the large army encamped on the spot. He also sent a military master with more than 200 people to help the villagers, and soon the military Sima led the army back: "My lord, the rogues have fled, and those horse dealers have followed, and I want to thank the lord for saving his life." ”

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, I want to see what kind of hero can fight against four or five hundred rogue with only fifty or sixty horsemen." Invite them in. ”

Sima Yiyan of the army left, and soon took three or four men into the tent. Wu Zhao waved his hand and ordered Sima of the army to return to the team, and then he carefully looked at the three or four men in front of him.

Several men are all sleeping in the open with a demeanor, a typical horse dealer's appearance. Only one of them had a special appearance: about seven feet eight inches long, with a big black face. He looks like he is twenty-four or five years old, with short hair and no beard.

The voice of the little white snake sounded in Wu Zhao's mind: "Host, this is the third three-star character you have summoned, the cavalry general Yin Jilun, commander type." Intelligence 78, Martial Arts 93, Politics 68, Commander 95, Charisma 68, Good Envoy Cavalry, Infantry Attribute B, Cavalry Attribute S Rank, Archer Attribute C, Navy Attribute C. Stunt: The Black-Faced King. Skill one, rider. When commanding cavalry, the force value increases by 5 to 10 points, and the command value increases by 5 to 10 points; Skill two, raid. Good at leading cavalry to raid the enemy's camp, and have a 20% chance of killing or wounding the enemy's general when raiding the enemy's camp; Skill three, patrol the edge. When leading the cavalry to patrol the border passes and maintain the grain route, he was able to guard against the sneak attack of the enemy army with a command value lower than his own, and now he is a horse dealer. ”

Wu Zhaoxin said: My cavalry general has finally appeared. In the face of Lu Bu, there was no cavalry general, and there was really no way to fight back. With Yin Jilun, it's okay to sneak attack Lu Bu, and it is possible to turn the tide of the battle! I just don't know when the political type and the military type appeared. It should be soon, right?

Just thinking about how to subdue these people, the black-faced young man knelt down on one knee: "The villain Yin Jilun is a horse dealer who sells horses between Chang'an and Xiliang. Today, he was ambushed by the rogues, but fortunately, the state pastor sent someone to rescue him. Yin Jilun has nothing to repay, and is willing to serve the state pastor! ”

Wu Zhao was overjoyed, got up and helped him up: "The strong man is dignified, how can I Wu Zhao not accept it?" Our army is about to go to Xiliang, so you can go with the army. I will appoint you as Captain Renyong to serve as General Yang Ren's deputy, would you like to? ”

Although Yin Jilun was consciously brave and good at fighting, where did he expect that he would be directly promoted to captain as soon as he came? Loyalty immediately rose to 80 points. He also offered 60 good horses, and 60 soldiers who accompanied him in selling horses.

Get Yin Jilun, Wu Zhao is comfortable. Going out of the tent for a walk, talking about the remaining two talents, Sun Li brought a handsome and dashing young man to meet him: "Senior brother, congratulations!" Our senior brother sent someone to help you and meet your nephew! ”

The young man's body and lips were painted with vermilion, his eyes were like paint, and his face was like a pile of Qiong. With his hands empty, he has a small crossbow hanging from his waist. Seeing Wu Zhao, he bowed down and bowed: "Yan Qing has seen Uncle Shi!" ”
