"The snow has melted in the past few days, and many people in Lizhou have rushed to Dawan Pass." Chen Zhong hurried back, his voice solemn.
"Military advisor, if this happens, I'm afraid there will be a lot of spies from Beiyu mixed in."
Dongfang Jing put down the file, "It is inevitable for spies to mix in. But we cannot shut out the people who are fleeing the war outside the city. If this is the case, we will defeat the people of Western Shu. Chen Loyalty, let people enter. Remember, those who enter must first gather in one place and conduct a secret investigation."
"Don't worry, military advisor."
Dongfang Jing nodded. I don’t know how many spies on the iron torture platform were planted in this Western Shu, which was often victorious. Of course, on the Beiyu side, there will also be night owls from Xishu.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. This principle will always be relied upon as the truth whether you are a planner or a general.
"Military advisor, the lord is here!" Just as Dongfang Jing was thinking, not long after, Wei Xiaowu and Li Xiaoyao both ran over happily.
Upon hearing this sentence, Dongfang Jinggujing Wubo's face suddenly became moved. After saying goodbye to each other in the snow and winter, each had their own misfortune of life and death, but in the end they were able to meet again without any danger.
…
"Worship in the east to meet my lord!"
"Chen Zhong pays homage to the lord!"
"Zhao Dong has met the King of Shu!"
…
Suddenly, after hearing the news that Xu Mu had come to Dayuan Pass, many Shu generals or foreign generals rushed over in a hurry.
"No need to be polite!" Xu Mu also looked excited. It feels so good to see the faces of old friends again after a long time.
"Bo Lie, you are in good health."
"Thank you for your concern, lord. Dongfang Jingshang is still strong." Dongfang Jing smiled, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with the lord in front of him.
His life was originally nothing outstanding, but the Lord in front of him gave him a chance to meet him, and gave him the meaning of a man's life as a cripple.
"It's still a little cold outside. Bo Lie followed me into the house. Generals, follow me into the house!" Xu Mu did not hesitate and personally pushed Dongfang Jing's wooden wheel cart. The group of people chatted and laughed as they headed towards the city gate. Go.
After sitting down and serving tea, many staff and soldiers on the Western Shu front line gathered together.
Xu Mu looked up and saw that among them were not only counselors such as Dongfang Jing, Xiao Xiaofu, and Fei Xiu, but also generals such as Chen Zhong, Wei Xiaowu, and Gonggou, as well as vassal generals such as Zhao Dong and Lou Zhu. .
Unconsciously, a general trend has gathered in Xishu.
Xu Mu had not originally planned to discuss war as soon as they met, but Dongfang Jing had already opened his mouth to explain the situation in Lizhou.
"Thirteen grain roads?" Xu Mu was stunned. He had thought that the food roads in Beiyu would definitely be expanded to ensure the food and fodder for the army, but he never thought that this guy Chang Sheng would open up thirteen food roads in one go.
"Exactly." Dongfang Jing frowned slightly, "But at least half of it is false and deceptive."
"In this case, even taking the risk of intercepting the grain road is not wise."
The war is about to begin, and food routes are undoubtedly extremely important. With Dayuan Pass here, in the short term, there will be no problems with Xi Shu's food routes. On the contrary, Beiyu has lost the guard of Dawan Pass. If it sends troops from Dawan Pass, it will be easy to seize the grain road.
But at this time, Chang Sheng laid out thirteen grain roads. Although it was a waste of money and people, he successfully avoided disaster.
"The terrain in Lizhou is vast, and it is very likely that there will be a cavalry battle first. Over in Beiyu, I have received information from Ye Xiao, and 20,000 bow cavalry are also preparing to rush to Lizhou. My lord, are you ready? Already?"
"I have already met Chao Yi and Wei Feng, and we are almost ready." Xu Mu nodded, turned his eyes after a while, and continued to look at Dongfang Jing.
"Bo Lie should know that this is the thing that I, Xi Shu, worry about the most."
"What we in Western Shu are worried about is falling into a quagmire and being dragged down by Beiyu. Regardless of the strength of the troops, horses, or even the new army, we in Western Shu are not as good as Beiyu. This is a big war. Once it becomes a war of attrition, we will Xishu may be unable to succeed. But similarly, I do not suggest that the master and Beiyu have a showdown. Although it is not an egg against a stone, it is not worth it for a small and large war that relies too much on luck."
"Military advisor, it won't work if we fight slowly, or if we fight fast... Then what should we do?" Chen Zhong, who was standing by, asked with some doubts.
"If you choose one of the two, you will naturally play slower. The premise is that you can't fight for energy."
Only the other two people present understood Dongfang Jing's words. One is Xu Mu and the other is Little Dog Fu. Xi Shu’s real murderous intention is to wait until the ships sail around Jijiang River in April and May, and then cooperate with Anzi...
There is no doubt that Dongfang Jing's strategy is correct. However, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, so we must not stick to the rules. In terms of assessing the situation, Dongfang Jing is also considered a heavenly being.
"Han Xing, do you have any suggestions?"
Many people in the field looked at the little dog Fu who stood up. Such as Dongfang Jing and Chen Zhong, their eyes are all encouraging.
Of course, as a naive Si Hu, he was still confused. How could Gua Wazi, who was grabbing candied haws together that year, be able to stand up and make suggestions?
"Brother Mu, I, Si Hu, have a way!" Si Hu, who was unconvinced, shouted hurriedly.
As soon as he said this, the bow dog next to him hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold down the stupid tiger.
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead, not wanting to be in front of so many people, so he brushed Si Hu's face and said, "Tell me, tell me... for a moment."
"Take down all the clean buildings in the inner city. When the Beiyu generals went to drive piles, they forgot everything when they were happy. Let's send people to hide and secretly use black knives to chop them off one by one! And ah, then The mutton soup shop is also open, let’s poison it too——”
Gongou cursed mother and covered Sihu's mouth tightly.
"Well... Han Xing, keep talking." Xu Mu turned his head and looked at the puppy Fu who stood up.
Puppy Fu was not affected. He spoke seriously in front of everyone.
"My lord, the terrain of Lizhou is open and the priority is cavalry warfare. If we don't want to waste our troops, we should retreat to the area near Dayuan Pass."
This sentence is not clever.
Many people present looked a little silent. Only Xu Mu and Dongfang Jing were still looking forward to it.
"Han Xing, why is this?"
"Previously, my lord and the little military adviser of the East said that Beiyu has prepared thirteen food routes for its constant victory. With such preparations, the people of Beiyu boast that they will not be in danger of running out of food. But when we retreat, Beiyu will attack Go up and take the opportunity to conquer the lost territory. If at this time, you can dispatch two troops of 10,000 people, choose easy-to-dry areas, make long detours from the north and south flanks, cut off their food routes, and divide the retreat of the Beiyu army. It won't be long before the third The advance army from Beiyu will definitely suffer heavy losses."
"I suggest that the Lord can make preparations in these few days."
"Gou Fu, ah uh... Military Advisor Han Xing, why are these days?" Chen Zhong said.
Puppy Fu smiled and said, "The terrain in front of Dayuan Pass is not flat. When the snow melts completely, the mud road will become muddy. By then, the Beiyu people will have their legs hindered whether they are marching or retreating. .”
