After Long Zhi heard what Guan Sheng said, he had a long face and said displeasedly: "If it were easy, would I still discuss it with you?"
Guan Sheng secretly sighed, cupped his hands and said: "General Long, Chai Shao's troops are just a partial division of the Tang army. As long as our army can achieve a great victory in the Central Plains, they will naturally retreat. For now, we only need to defend the city. As for the Tang army's scolding Just ignore the voice!"
Long Zhi glanced at Guan Sheng dissatisfied: "General Guan, why do we fight as soldiers? Isn't it to make achievements and become famous all over the world? Now that our comrades on the battlefield in the Central Plains have repeatedly made military exploits, can we just hide in the city? Are you jealous?"
Li Mi suddenly opened his eyes, nodded and said, "What General Long said is true. When leading troops in war, you cannot place all your hopes on others. If we can annihilate Chai Shao's army here, we can take advantage of the situation to enter Guanzhong. Intimidate Chang'an. By then, we may be the first to defeat the five Tang armies."
Long Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this and asked hurriedly: "From what you said, sir, do you think you already have a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"
Li Bi smiled slightly and said: "Yes, yes, but to implement this plan, it is not enough to rely on the soldiers and horses of our Xicheng County. We need to rely on the soldiers and horses of the patron king and Changping County King. In addition, it is best for the general to use the eagle to implement this plan." I am writing to ask for your Majesty’s instructions.”
Long Zhi asked in confusion: "Why?"
Li Bi said calmly: "My strategy is actually very simple. Abandon Xicheng, lure the enemy deep, and beat the dogs behind closed doors! It's just that abandoning a county in Xicheng is not a trivial matter. Mobilizing the troops of the patron king and Changping County King requires your majesty's order, so this matter You must ask His Majesty for instructions!"
After finishing, Li Mi added: "And if Chai Shao doesn't fall into the trap and doesn't move forward after taking Xicheng County, then the whole of Jingxiang will never have peace in the future, so we must be cautious!"
After hearing this, Long Zhi lowered his head and fell into deep thought. He gritted his teeth for a long time and said: "High risks will lead to high returns. How can you know if you don't try it? I will send an eagle letter to your majesty and ask him to approve this plan."
. . . . . . . . . . .
Two days later, the eagle letter from Long Zhi was presented to Yang Gao.
Long Zhi wrote down all the pros and cons that Li Mi had said in detail into the letter. After reading it, Yang Gao frowned and ordered the eunuch outside the door to immediately invite Fang Xuanling and Yu Yunwen to come to discuss the matter.
Not long after, the two came to Yang Gao's imperial study together. After reading Long Zhi's eagle letter, they looked at each other, raised their hands together and said, "Your Majesty, I think General Long's strategy is worth using."
Yang Gao asked with some doubts: "But if Chai Shao holds back his troops after occupying the west city, as Ying Xin worries, then the pressure on Yang Yanzhao in Nanyang will increase a lot in the future."
Yu Yunwen slightly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, now that Li Shimin has been blocked by Hongnong and Li Yuanji's entire army has been wiped out, the Tang army should be more eager to end the Central Plains War than we are. If Chai Shao can capture Xicheng, even if he wants to hold back his troops, Li Yuan will definitely urge him to send troops to Jingxiang and force our Central Plains army to return."
Fang Xuanling also echoed: "The old thief Li Yuan has always regarded Your Majesty as a thorn in his flesh. Jing Xiang is the foundation of the Sui Dynasty. This old thief Li Yuan will definitely urge Chai Shao to march and disturb Jing Xiang's peace!"
Yang Gao lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that what Fang Xuanling and Yu Yunwen said was reasonable, so he nodded and said: "What the two dear ladies said is true. I will send an eagle letter to reply to Long Zhi, and also issue an imperial edict to Yang Yan The king of Zhaohe's backer ordered the two of them to cooperate with Long Zhi to wipe out Chai Shao's troops."
Yu Yunwen and Fang Xuanling both bowed their hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Yang Gao waved his hand and said calmly: "Now the Sui Dynasty is at war on all sides, and the government affairs in the court are busy. I am also a little busy. My dear friends, please retreat first."
The two of them bowed their hands and said respectfully: "Wei Chen, please retire."
After the two of them exited the imperial study, Yang Gao secretly opened the system and sent the command attentively: "System, check the number of soul points I currently have for me. I must prepare to summon now."
The system started up in response: "Ding dong... The host currently has 203 soul points. Please give the host instructions."
"Hey, there are some benefits to fighting on all sides. Whether they are famous or unknown enemy generals, they have been constantly contributing soul points to me. It has only been a few months since my last summons, and the soul points have skyrocketed to more than two hundred. .”
Yang Gao chuckled, and then said attentively: "I use 98 soul points to summon, focusing on force."
"Ding dong, the host has used 98 soul points to summon force. We are providing the host with a candidate list. Please wait patiently..."
"Dingdong, the first candidate general is Shi Bao, a fierce general under the command of the Water Margin rebel king Fang La. He has 80 in command, 97 in force, 71 in intelligence, and 53 in politics."
"Ding dong, the second candidate general is An Xiuxiu, a fierce general under the command of Flying Tiger General Li Cunxiao. He has a command score of 63, a force of 94, an intelligence of 51, and a politics of 39."
"Ding dong, the third candidate general is Shi Jingsi, the 11th Taibao of Li Keyong, King of the Later Tang Dynasty. He has 87 points in command, 99 points in force, 67 points in intelligence, and 53 points in politics."
"Dingdong, the fourth candidate general, Jiang Song, the best spearman in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, has a commanding score of 76, a force of 103, an intelligence of 80, and a politics of 57."
Yang Gao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Jiang Song's name, and he rubbed his hands excitedly: "Jiang Yongnian, the magic gun, can separate Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba with one shot. I must hit him."
"Ding Dong, the fifth general candidate, Deng Tianwang, a fierce general of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, has a commanding score of 73, a force of 96, an intelligence of 61, and a politics of 47."
"Ding dong, the five candidate generals have been provided. Please choose the host to remove two of them, and then the system will randomly select and summon them."
Yang Gao made his choice without thinking: "An Xiuxiu, King Deng, get rid of these two people."
"Ding dong, the host has removed An Xiuxiu and Deng Tianwang, and the system will select one of the remaining three. Please wait patiently for a while..."
"Dingdong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Water Margin General Shi Bao and implanting it into the adopted son who is the newly adopted son of the patron king Yang Lin. He is now stationed in Xiangyang with Yang Lin."
"It's not Jiang Song, what a pity."
Yang Gao sighed and suddenly asked the system: "System, if I remember correctly, my imperial uncle had thirteen adopted sons in the novel. Please help me test it quickly and see if he brings it out. He has several adopted sons. Although his adopted sons, except for Qin Qiong, are not very capable, they should still be able to become deputy generals!"
"The system is querying, please wait a moment..."
"Ding dong, the system test is completed. The patron king Yang Lin brought a total of three adopted sons to the birth, namely the eldest Taibao Bao Fang, the second Taibao Xue Liang and the third Taibao Li Wan, and Shi Bao is Yang Lin's new fourth Taibao. This The four of them are now stationed in Xiangyang with Yang Lin."
