Chapter 236
After hearing Chen Guan's introduction, the general's sense of pride for having wiped out more than 200,000 Xianbei enemy troops disappeared immediately. Having been busy with emotions for such a long time, some miscellaneous troops have been eliminated!
"The situation has been introduced, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Shang Ji asked slowly.
With this question, everyone fell silent.
Before they knew the strength of Xianbei's main force, everyone still looked down upon them a little. Maybe they didn't have the reckless idea of gathering the whole army to defeat the enemy in one go.
Now that I know the true strength of the Xianbei Army, it would be courting death to have this idea again.
The gap in strength is too large, so that all conspiracies and tricks come to naught.
"Ahem!" Seeing the silence of the crowd, Liu Yi coughed twice and stood up.
"Yi has a superficial idea here, please refer to it in detail!"
"Oh? Elder brother has a good opinion, tell me quickly!"
Liu Yi chuckled, pointed in the direction of Xiangping City, and said, "Did you forget Xiangping and the 500,000 elite army in Xiangping?"
Shang Ji felt suddenly enlightened when he heard the words, and he raised his forehead and said: "My brother is confused, and almost forgot Xiangping! We are here to support Xiangping, not to fight the Xianbei army!"
When everyone heard the words, they immediately realized that the main force of this battle was originally the 500,000 county soldiers in Xiangping City, and Shang Ji only led troops to support.
But because of his dazzling performance, everyone subconsciously regarded himself as the protagonist of this battle, and even ignored Xiangping!
There are 500,000 troops in Xiangping City, and more than 100,000 elites here in Shangji. Although the sum of the two is still slightly inferior to the Xianbei Army, they still have a two-point advantage in overall combat power.
If the plan is right, there may be a chance to defeat the Xianbei army!
"Our army and the defenders in Xiangping City should cooperate inside and outside, and attack front and back. At that time, the Xianbei army can't look at the head and tail, and they will definitely be defeated!"
Su Huan said with some excitement.
The other generals also beamed with joy, imagining the feat of annihilating the 700,000 Xianbei army in one fell swoop. Only a few people including Liu Yi, Shang Ji, and Tai Shici remained silent.
"Ziyi, tell me your opinion!" Shang Ji called by name.
Tai Shici got up when he heard the words, cupped his hands to Su Huangong and said: "General Yanchen's idea is good. Our army and the Xiangping army will attack back and forth. Even if they can't defeat the Xianbei army, they will certainly be able to severely damage it!"
"It's just that Ci has a problem." After speaking, Tai Shi Ci paused, as if he was sorting out his words.
"How can our army get in touch with the Xiangping Army? How can we persuade the county guards and school lieutenants in Xiangping City to obey our orders and cooperate with our army?"
Tai Shici brought up the two major problems faced by the internal and external forces before and after the attack!
"Huh?" The smile on Su Huan's face suddenly froze when he heard this, his lips moved, but in the end he still didn't say anything to solve the problem.
"The last general is reckless, please punish me, my lord!"
"It doesn't matter, since it's a military discussion, it's natural to speak freely!" Shang Ji waved his hand, signaling Su Huan to get up.
"Ziyi, since you raised the question, how can you solve it?" Shang Ji turned to look at Tai Shici.
"Send people, sneak into Xiangping City, and get in touch with everyone in the city!" Tai Shi Ci said firmly.
"Send people to sneak in?" Shang Ji lowered his head and pondered a few times.
The method Tai Shici said coincided with Shang Ji's. Now it is impossible to win the battle simply by relying on the Heijia Army or the Xiangping Defenders. Only the combination of the two has a glimmer of hope.
But now the news inside and outside the city does not communicate with each other, let alone cooperate with each other, even the simplest communication is impossible.
"The meeting is over, all the generals should leave first!"
Shang Ji thought for a moment, then suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned, although they were a little puzzled, they did not dare to disobey Shang Ji's order, and left one after another.
After a while, only Shang Ji, Liu Yi, and Tai Shici were left in the camp. Shang Ji looked at the two of them and smiled knowingly.
"Ziyi, brother, why don't you leave?"
Tai Shici and Liu Yi looked at each other, and said with a smile: "My dear brother (general), why do you ask questions knowingly?"
"Since the two of you already know,
I'm not keeping it to myself anymore. Brother, Ziyi, I would like to invite the two of you to sneak into Xiangping City, get in touch with the city, and persuade the prefect to agree to our plan! Shang Ji straightened his clothes and said solemnly.
Shang Ji chose these two people for a reason.
First of all, today's Xiangping City is surrounded on all sides, including Shang Ji himself, who has no absolute confidence to break through the barriers and successfully enter Xiangping City.
Only Liu Yi and Tai Shici, an A-level super-class historical general and an S-level top historical general, have this ability. Especially Tai Shici, he has done this kind of thing in history.
In history, Kong Rong was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army in Duchang. It was Tai Shici who entered the city single-handedly and asked Kong Rong to break out of the encirclement. Kong Rong refused to listen to the advice and was trapped in Duchang. Later, it was Tai Shici who broke out of the siege alone and asked Liu Bei for help.
If it is simply to get in touch with the city of Xiangping, you only need to send Tai Shici to go there, and you don't need to bother Liu Yi.
But Shangji's plan is more than that.
Getting in touch with the city is only the first step, the more important thing is to persuade Wang Tong to agree to the plan of attacking from inside and outside, and cooperate with the attack of the Shang Ji army.
Tai Shici is super powerful, but he is unknown in Liaodong County, and the prefect and the generals in the city do not necessarily listen to his suggestions.
Liu Yi is different, his prestige has long been spread throughout Liaodong County, the same thing, he said and Tai Shici said two completely different effects.
"Don't tell me, brother Yu, brother Yu also has this kind of plan, but I don't know if Ziyi is willing to accompany me through this journey?" After speaking, Liu Yi turned his head and looked at Tai Shici with a smile.
Tai Shici is not Shang Ji's subordinate now, Shang Ji can only ask for a consultation with him if he needs anything, if Tai Shici refuses, Shang Ji has nothing to do.
"Haha, thanks to the general who entrusted me with such an important task, Ci Xin was too happy, how could he refuse?" Tai Shi Ci laughed, his pride soaring to the sky.
Shang Ji was overjoyed when he heard the words, he took the two men's hands and said solemnly: "If this battle can be won, brother and Ziyi will take the lead!"
"I don't care about the credit, it's all for defending the land and defending against the enemy. I'm just worried that Wang Tong won't cooperate with us and deliberately make things difficult for us!" Liu Yi said worriedly.
Shang Ji was also silent when he heard the words, the two still had a lot of entanglements with Wang Tong, at this time it was really impossible to guarantee Wang Tong's cooperation.
"Hey, do your best to obey the destiny! If Wang Tong really insists on going his own way and delays the military and state affairs because of his old personal grievances, then it can only be said that the imperial court encounters people who are not good, and the destiny is hard to break!" Shang Ji sighed and said helplessly.
"The two of you must remember that your own safety is the top priority in this trip. If Wang Tong is really stubborn, you two should not take risks and leave the city as soon as possible."
"With our elite army of more than 100,000, this Xianbei army has no choice but to stay here except to evacuate. If it doesn't work, we can spend it with them. Anyway, we have enough food and can afford it!"
Shang Ji said bitterly.
