He Renlong's punishment is even too much.

However, the next thing needs to be discussed.

After Li Zicheng exchanged Ankang City for a great victory, now the forces of Gao Yingxiang's department are mainly concentrated in the area from Weinan to Shangluo.

Now in the city of Xi'an, there are 4,500 cavalry brought by Qin Shuhuai, 35,000 troops brought by He Kegang, plus 13,000 defenders in the original city (originally 8,000, after receiving Qin Shuhuai's reinforcements, He Renlong stationed 5,000 in Xi'an just in case, so there are 13,000), and more than 4,000 people who ran back from the defeat in Weinan, a total of about 57,000 people.

And Gao Yingxiang still has a main force of 80,000 and allies of 670,000, these allies don't look at the usual strict hiding, if they suddenly come out, it will be enough for the officials and soldiers to be annoyed, and now they must have followed Gao Yingxiang to the area of Weinan and Shangluo, so if you want to capture these two cities, the strength of the official army is not enough.

Therefore, Qin Shuhuai really wanted to transfer another 50,000 soldiers, so that he could start a decisive battle with Gao Yingxiang in the area of Weinan and Shangluo.

But he really didn't have many troops at his disposal. There are still 35,000 Demon Sects in Gansu, and he will put at least 70,000 or so soldiers to guard Xiping in Shaanxi, such as Baoji and Hanzhong.

But Baoji now counts Hong Chengchou's 20,000 horses, and there are only 50,000 left, while Hanzhong only has 30,000 left, and there are fewer soldiers in other places.

After all, only Hong Chengchou can bring 20,000 to support. But by this time he should already be on his way, and he will be there in a day or two.

In other words, there can be about 77,000 officers and soldiers at most.

If these 77,000 people fought with Liukou in the field, Qin Shuhuai was ninety percent sure that he would be able to defeat the other party, but if he went to attack the city, he would not dare to guarantee it.

The generals discussed in the house for a long time, and some people proposed to besiege the city, but Qin Shuhuai knew that Huang Taiji in the north was likely to have attacked Jizhen, and he didn't have time to spend it here with Gao Yingxiang.

Bewildered.

I have to say that the impact of the defeat in Weinan was indeed too great, and Qin Shuhuai was caught off guard.

After discussing all night, there was no result, so Qin Shuhuai had to order everyone to go back and rest for the time being, and talk about it tomorrow.

Back in the house, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

These days, he always feels a deep sense of powerlessness, as if no matter how hard he tries, he can only be a framer, where the air leaks to make up for it, but there is no way to rebuild this gorgeous old house full of holes!

The Demon Sect is still not extinguished, the Liukou is still rampant, and Huang Taiji is almost time to go south, he, the hero of the world who is eagerly awaited by 20,000 people in the Ming Dynasty, sits on the entire martial arts, the first person in the martial arts of the White Lotus Sect, but still has not been able to achieve a decisive victory!

No wonder Chongzhen can't save it no matter how hard he tries!

Also, I don't know what happened to Lai San'er and Chen Jing? Since the Demon Sect only captures and does not kill, it must be in exchange for conditions, right? It's okay, so that they can live anyway, I hope the Demon Sect won't embarrass them.

In the afternoon of the next day, Hong Chengchou rushed to Xi'an with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and after hearing the news of the disastrous defeat of Long Weinan, his face changed, and he wanted to immediately go to Qin Shuhuai to intercede to protect his subordinates. However, Meng Wei told him that He Renlong's life was now safe except for lying on the bed and not being able to move, so Hong Chengchou was relieved.

Qin Shuhuai heard that Hong Chengchou had arrived, so he convened a meeting of everyone again, and asked that a plan for a decisive battle with Gao Yingxiang must be worked out today, otherwise everyone would not have to go back to sleep.

Now in the governor's yamen of Xi'an, it can be said that generals from all walks of life and masters of various factions are gathered together. In the imperial court, there are Hong Chengchou, He Renlong, He Kegang, Meng Wei, Meng Hu, Li Daliang, Wan Yunshan, Zhao Keli, and even Cao Huachun, who has not recovered from serious injuries, and he came with Hong Chengchou. In terms of martial arts, Zhiren, Wang Datong, Chang Wuji, Tang Sanniang, Ma Sansao, Sun Bai, Shi Shiming and others are also there.

Regardless of their background, temples and rivers, everyone only negotiated together and expressed their opinions, but there were also a lot of sparks. As the so-called official army has the routine of the official army, and the martial arts has the method of martial arts, as soon as the two sides combined, they gradually discussed a method that sounded good.

Hong Chengchou proposed that if he wanted to fight Gao Yingxiang as soon as possible, he must go straight to Gao Yingxiang's old nest, Shangluocheng, as long as the official army besieged the city and stormed, Li Zicheng had to send troops to rescue. And once Li Zicheng left Weinan City, the official army set up ambushes along the way, so that either Gao Yingxiang watched Li Zicheng's troops be wiped out, or he led his troops out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the official army.

This approach was unanimously endorsed by all of the present.

Later, Wang Datong on the martial arts side also put forward his own opinion, that is, a team of martial arts masters infiltrated Shangluo City, first set fire to the city to create chaos, and then took the opportunity to assassinate Gao Yingxiang, and then Shangluo City will inevitably be even more chaotic. At this time, if the official army goes to attack the city again, it is bound to get twice the result with half the effort.

After hearing this, everyone nodded again and again in approval.

Qin Shuhuai added that there is a branch of the White Lotus Sect in Shangluo City, and when the time comes, you can contact them and try to get them to help too, presumably the effect will be better!

Subsequently, Tang Sanniang said that since a group of masters had infiltrated the city, another poison of the Tang Sect, "Snake and Scorpion Powder", would come in handy.

When everyone heard this, they immediately raised their ears again, you must know that Tang Sanniang easily helped everyone solve nearly 10,000 demon sects last time, so when they heard that Tang Sanniang had another rut, they were all immediately full of interest.

Tang Sanniang continued, the so-called "snake scorpion powder" is mainly refined from the toxins of the five-step snake and the poisonous scorpion of the Western Regions, plus the exclusive ingredients and refining methods of the Tang Sect, to make a very fine poisonous powder, which can flutter in the wind with a casual sprinkling, but those who enter the mouth, enter the nose, and are like eyes will definitely burst into tears in a short period of time, and their eyes will be temporarily blind. If, during the siege of the city, a group of masters can take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to cross the city and sprinkle these poisonous powders on the enemy defending the city, then it is bound to disrupt the enemy army.

When everyone heard it, they almost said the word "wonderful" out loud, but because of their faces, they could only bow their heads very reservedly.

Qin Shuhuai also immediately made up the scene of a group of masters performing light skills and sprinkling poison like a helicopter spraying pesticides in the city, and he couldn't help but want to applaud in his heart!

The decisive battle plan is gradually perfected in everyone's words. This plan, the fusion of the practical and down-to-earth wisdom of the people in the martial arts, but also the integration of the formal and systematic tactical ideas of the people in the court, after coming out, it turned out to be from the overall situation to the details are all covered, everyone can't help but be surprised and delighted!

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and it seems that this is the case!

Now that the plan is ready, let's do it now!

The decisive battle with Gao Yingxiang is about to start!
