Hongze City.

The crackling sound of the fire, the sound of killing, the shouting of the people and horses, and they rushed straight into the sky, but it was a brief confrontation.

At this time, the army was arranged neatly on the city, and was silent.

Du Gongzhen stood in the middle of a city wall, and the generals around him stood by him, focusing on looking at Wei Cundong's battle formation.

Du Gongzhen's eyes flashed with a calm expression and she looked down. At this time, the city gate opened and his army had already entered the city, and the enemy did not chase after him.

In the distance, the war drums were ringing.

At this time, the sun rose to the middle of the sky and shone on the earth. On the horizon, troops had appeared continuously and entered the open space in front of the city.

The army is full of prosperity and the flags are like the sea. According to the latest information and the number of soldiers in the wing has increased to 40,000, which is simply crowded.

At this time, the horn sounded loudly.

Hundreds of siege cars began to move towards Hongze Town. The siege cars were actually a large wooden pillar with a wooden roof covered with animal skins and straw mats, which could defend against boiling water and even ordinary bows and arrows.

The siege vehicles were covering the siege vehicles, and the siege vehicles began to advance, and the towers were also moving forward, followed by groups of infantry soldiers.

The tower car is several meters tall and is about the height of the wall. It not only can cover the entire city head within the range of the arrow, but when shooting the city wall, the soldiers can also directly climb onto the wall and attack into the city, which is equivalent to an enhanced ladder.

Behind them were hundreds of catapults, and they were slowly advancing with the help of soldiers.

As soon as these siege weapons appeared, Du Gongzhen's face changed drastically. These siege weapons can even be conquered by a strong city, and they cannot be found in one day or two. It can be seen that Wei Cundong has been in stock over the past few years.

Since I had already tried to persuade the surrender several times, I didn't talk nonsense. After a while, the war drums shook the sky.

"kill!"

With an order, tens of thousands of people shouted together, and like a tide, they launched a fierce attack.

Suddenly, arrows and rains covered the world and rushed down.

Wenyang Prefecture Jiedushi

Yu Liangbo hurried into the side hall, which was empty, with only a few civil servants sorting out the documents. When he saw him coming in, Yu Liangbo asked, "Where is Secretary Zhang?"

Zhang Youzhi and Yu Liangbo were both promoted to the eighth-rank secretary during the New Year.

"Sir, the lord has already gone to the study room. When I went in, I said, "Yu is here, please come in, and I will summon you together..." Before he finished speaking, Yu Liangbo nodded and turned around and went out.

Only a few steps to the study, Yu Liangbo rushed over, and a guard chief, saw him and quickly saluted: "Sir, lord, lord, lord said, "You are here, please come in immediately."

Yu Liangbo nodded slightly and then stepped forward and knocked on the door. Hearing Wang Hongyi's voice inside: "How about Yu Liangbo? Come in!"

"Yes!" Yu Liangbo agreed loudly, stepped in, and the study room was darker than outside. After calming down, he looked up.

I saw Wang Hongyi sitting on the desk against the wall, with official documents piled up on the table in front of him, and a pen and inkstone were placed.

There are more than one person in this room, including Li Gang, Wang Yan, Yu Zhao, and Li Xian.

Yu Liangbo quickly saluted.

"Yu Liangbo, get up, sit down first." Wang Hongyi was reading a document. After a while, he raised his head and said, "The pigeons sent a message to a hundred miles, Wei Cundong sent 40,000 troops. He was invincible and conquered the two counties in a row. Now he has attacked Hongze Town and launched an offensive and defensive battle."

"According to the information we have seen, Wei Cundong has hundreds of siege vehicles, tower vehicles, and trenchers, which can even conquer a strong city, which is really shocking."

At this time, Yu Liangbo looked carefully. Wang Hongyi had a sharp look and a solemn expression. He said again: "Everyone, what to do now? Everyone will give me opinions."

At this time, old and important officials must be summoned to discuss.

Li Gang pondered for a while and said steadily: "I think that the strength of our town is not enough to interfere in such a large-scale battle situation. It is advisable to accumulate grain and stabilize the foundation. Hongze Town has high walls. Du Gongzhen withdraws another place and has tens of thousands of troops. Even if Wei Cundong can capture it, his vitality will be greatly damaged."

Yu Zhao smiled and said with a smile: "Mr. Li's strategy is to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the Yuan Dynasty. It is indeed a good strategy for governing the country. But if you sit and watch and miss the opportunity, Wei Cundong swallowed Hongze Town, how could he stay? He will take advantage of this victory to attack me. Even if the consumption is very large, he can have four counties and the number of food and grass troops has increased. If he does not attack this year, he will definitely attack the next year. What should I do? I suggest that we first sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and then send troops to force Wei Cundong to retreat."

Wang Yan coughed lightly and said, "What Lord Yu said is that he must grasp the measure when sitting in the mountain watching the tiger's fight. Although Du Gongzhen was excited and fought with Wei Cundong, if we just sit in the mountain to watch the tiger's fight, this person might not have surrendered to Wei Cundong."

After the people present said that, Zhang Youzhi bowed and said calmly: "I think that troops will be sent in this battle. Judging from the current situation, if the troops are not sent, Hongze Town will be destroyed or surrendered, and there will be no physiological consequences."

"Wei Cundong owns three counties and has the capital of Chengdu. He has already occupied most of it. If Hongze Town is obtained, the general situation will be completed. Our town will be in turmoil and in danger, so we must go to war!"

"Du Gong is really a general, old and more stingy, and his personality is strong. This can be seen from Wei Cundong's persuasion to surrender and force him to kill him. If we sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, I am afraid that Du Gong really hates me, and is more than Wei Cundong, and will force him to the opposite side. Even if we surrender, it will be a disaster in the future."

"Besides, the lord wants to govern Shu, and there are two rulers: one is the king, and the other is the domineering. The lord establishes General Dingyuan himself. This king cannot be done at this time, so he can only do the domineering. This domineering is to defeat Wei Cundong in one fell swoop. In this way, who dares not accept the East Yizhou in the middle of Shu? Dongyizhou has been subservient, how can the West Yizhou compete for the battle?"

Yu Liangbo frowned and said, "But our army only has 20,000, but Wei Cundong has 40,000. How can we defeat the strong with the weak?"

Everyone present is a real political talent, and he knows that the weak defeats the strong is mostly a trick and cannot be a single bet at the strategic level.

"Hongze Prefecture City is high and thick, with ten thousand soldiers. Even if there are sharp weapons to attack the city, it will be damaged. Du Gongzhen asked us for help, and even if he implied to surrender, it would be a time when he suffered huge losses. We just need to send troops immediately when he was asking for help."

Zhang Youzhi bowed his hands and was so calm and elegant. Yingfeng was four times: "At this time, even if Wei Cundong had 40,000, he would lose 10,000. However, the entire army would be exhausted when fighting for a long-distance siege."

"At this time, the decisive battle, although the enemy had 30,000, it was a tired army. Our army had only 20,000, but it was a good time to make up for it. From the army, it was actually a draw."

"But Wei Cundong is old and old. My lord is wise and powerful, and he is like the sun rising from the east. How can he not win?"

"However, we are just a staff officer, whether to fight or to reconcile, please make a decision!"

After hearing this, Wang Hongyi was overjoyed. Only Zhang Youzhi said so many people were in the mood. He couldn't help but feel pity and admiration. He was indeed a military advisor.

Yes, Wang Hongyi knew history. In the next two years, Wei Cundong would be out of reach. If he was delayed, he could unify Shu. However, this first thing was regarded as taking advantage of others' danger. There was no general in Shu, and monkeys called him the king, so it was difficult to convince Shu.

The second is that if you drag on like this, you will lose the most precious strategic time for two years. If you delay at this time, what is the point of his rebirth? You completely follow Li Chengye's old path.

To quickly govern Shu, there must be such a battle.

Back then, he defeated Lu Ji with a dignified army in one fell swoop. As for killing the general in the formation, he suppressed the hoarse voice in the inner world, laying the foundation for his rule. Now he also needs to defeat Wei Cundong with a dignified army.

Of course, just like Lu Ji last time, the so-called defeat of Wei Cundong with a dignified army does not mean defeating the strong with weak. At least in terms of comprehensive factors, Wei Cundong can be weakened to the point of equality or even weaker, so that he can fight to the decisive battle.

He laughed and said, "I have decided. Du Gongzhen asked me for help, so I will immediately raise an army. You can arrange the food route immediately, gather the medical staff, and make all preparations."

Seeing that Wang Hongyi had made a decision and received the support of the majority of the audience, everyone agreed: "Yes!"

After a while, several groups of attendants hurriedly passed by and sent orders to go.

At this time, Su'er was checking in the garden and saw that it was March, and many branches of flowers were released, which had never been here.

When he arrived at the door, the guards at the door must have been ordered. When he saw her coming, he bowed and did not stop him.

Su'er did not miss the surprise that flashed through their eyes. Obviously, as a girl, she was the first to come to such a military and political important place.

Outside the conference hall, there is a circle of high walls, and the courtyard is flat, without even a grass, so as not to see outsiders sneak in while the grass and trees.

The renovation outside the room is even simpler and clear, making people feel awe-inspiring at first sight, killing a solemn and even murderous aura.

A close servant was waiting in front of the hall. When he saw her coming, his eyes lit up and walked over and said, "Miss. The Lord is waiting for you inside. Please come here with the youngest."

As he said that, he led her to the room beside him.
