Chapter 661: State of War
Chapter 664
Cheng Dalei is not easy to fight, this is natural, if it is easy to fight, Song Bokang will not tolerate it until now.
Day after day, Cheng Dalei has become a scourge that cannot be eliminated, and he has reached the point where he has to do it and has to pay a certain price for it.
Of the five cities in Liangzhou, Song Bokang occupied four, Cheng Dalei occupied one, and Cheng Dalei opened up a toad city. Today, Song Bokang can dispatch about 150,000 troops, and in terms of troops, he has an absolute advantage.
However, Cheng Dalei is a feared existence after all, and whether the whole army can destroy Cheng Dalei is a matter that no one can say.
Dai Bai proposed to borrow troops from Jingzhou, but he also felt that it was extremely difficult to eliminate Cheng Dalei, and with the current strength in Song Bokang's hands, he was afraid that it would not be possible.
Song Bokang pondered for a moment and said: "In the end, I still want Lord Cui Xiang to provide some weapon support, if you can lead the troops here, this is the best, but the Prime Minister is afraid that there are no rich troops." ”
In Song Bokang's mind, he didn't want to have troops from other places enter Liangzhou. He doesn't want to be controlled by the Prime Minister anymore, of course, this is still his personal careful thinking, and he doesn't dare to announce it to the public now.
If you can destroy Cheng Dalei and completely master Liangzhou, you will have the qualifications to mention the conditions to Cui Xiang.
Song Bokang sharpened his knife, and the general trend was already on the line, so he had to send it.
And Cheng Dalei is naturally not idle at the moment. After he explained everything, he and Xu Shenji left Shuofang City and quickly returned to Toad City.
As soon as he returned to the city, Cheng Dalei did not rest at all, so he summoned the main personnel in the city and held a military meeting.
Attending the meeting were Liu Bei, Xu Shenji, Zhao Zilong, Qin Man, Wu Yong, and A Xi. Because Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and He Shen stayed in Shuofang City, they did not attend this meeting.
Meetings are like that, sometimes the smaller the number of people, the more important it is.
This meeting was not in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, but in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, where several people gathered together, and there was no maid who served tea and poured water.
Ah Xi spread out a map of Liangzhou on the table, which marked the locations of the five cities.
"Let's talk, what do you think?" Cheng Dalei took a sip of tea.
Song Bokang controlled four cities, all of which were extremely important strategic locations, better than Cheng Dalei in terms of resources, and more than Cheng Dalei in terms of population.
Cheng Dalei has always been qualified to bargain with Song Bokang, in fact, just by a few words: barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. If the strength is compared, Cheng Dalei does not have any advantage.
But in the current situation, Cheng Dalei no longer has the power to decide whether the war will start or not. He could only think about how he could win this war.
In the study, everyone began to express their opinions, and everyone talked about it, sometimes arguing over a question.
The key is how to fight? The strategy has been decided, and what everyone is discussing is actually the tactics.
If you are more conservative, you will decide to clear the wilderness and deal with Song Bokang's attack. If you want to conquer the two cities, it is not easy for Song Bokang, let him pay some price, as long as he pays enough price, he will choose to stop.
The more radical ones are to take the initiative to attack, Jincheng, Wuwei, Haojia, and Liangzhou city by city, eliminate Song Bokang's military force, expel or eliminate him, and thus occupy the entire Liangzhou.
Those who supported the radical strategy were Qin Man, Zhao Zilong, and Wu Yong. Cheng Dalei, who supports conservatives......
There is only one Cheng Dalei.
Cheng Dalei leaned against the wall, feeling a little speechless. As soon as they heard that they were going to fight with Song Bokang, everyone was like a chicken blood, and no one said that they wanted to be more stable and conservative.
"Big boss, how should we do it, do you have an idea?" Qin Man said.
Qin Man looked like a steady person, when was he also contaminated with such irritability, and now he couldn't hold back.
"We must fight, and the decision is no longer in our hands. But the purpose remains the same, with the first goal of stability and victory, not to expand the territory. Think about how to win this war. ”
The military strategy government led by Wu Yong has countless strategists, and what they do is what they do with their brains. Regarding their training work, Cheng Dalei has never stopped.
Today is only the first meeting, and it is impossible to come up with a definite method after all. What should be followed should be a day and night discussion, or even a quarrel. In the end, it is up to Cheng Dalei to decide.
Ah Xi's Xizi team can't rest during this time, they have to spy on the intelligence of Liangzhou City at all times, and prepare for the war by themselves, and they also need to see how the other party prepares.
The meeting lasted until the evening, and after everyone dispersed, Cheng Dalei also walked out of the study. As soon as the cool breeze blew, I also woke up.
Suddenly, it occurred to him that there was still a trouble to face in front of him, which was Su Ying and Liu Zhi. I hid in Shuofang City for a few days, but I couldn't hide after all.
He sighed helplessly and walked to the backyard.
I came back in a hurry today, and I hadn't met Su Ying yet, so when he came to Su Ying's courtyard, he suddenly found that it was a little deserted.
"Great master, you are back, and I will serve you to wash your feet. Liu Zhi came over and said.
Cheng Dalei nodded in agreement, and Liu Zhi squatted down and helped him take off his boots. Cheng Dalei turned his gaze, but he still didn't see Su Ying.
"What about people, where did Su Ying go?"
"Madame went to Luoyuzhai and went with the second lady. ”
"Huh......"
Cheng Dalei was a little speechless, originally Fan Lihua really felt bored and panicked, and wanted to fall back to Yuzhai. But she didn't expect that she would pull Su Ying away together, and she hadn't spoken to Cheng Dalei before she spoke.
Of course, it was not easy for them to inform Cheng Dalei, after all, Cheng Dalei had been hiding in Shuofang City.
Originally, I felt a little troublesome when I saw the two of them, but suddenly the two of them disappeared in front of him, and Cheng Dalei felt empty again.
"It's good to go out for a walk. Cheng Dalei comforted himself: "I'll rest in the study tonight." ”
"Yes, I'm in charge. ”
At this moment, the military policy office is still brightly lit to discuss the current situation. Although Cheng Dalei handed over this matter to them, it was impossible for him not to think about it.
After all, this matter is already about the future survival of Toad City.
He lit the lamp and locked himself in the study, while flipping through the information handed over by the Xizi team, while calculating the power that Toad City could use at the moment.
It's not an easy job, it's boring enough to drain all passion. Cheng Dalei endured boredom, looking to sit there on the surface, but his heart was tumbling.
The study is divided into an inner and outer room, Cheng Dalei occasionally rests in the study, and there is a small bed outside for Liu Zhi. Sometimes she would go into the study, bring tea and water to Cheng Dalei, and refill the oil lamp that was about to run out, so that it could continue to burn.
