"Empty city plan?!"
Zhou Jishi, Qiu Dianjun, Luo Gan, Youzhou Governor and others exclaimed and looked at Su Xian in astonishment.
They naturally know what the empty city strategy is.
It's just that Su Xian is really too courageous.
Not to mention the empty city plan, do you still want to devour the 50,000 Liao cavalry who were killed from Jimen Pass?
That's a total of fifty thousand cavalry!
The most powerful force in the Liao Kingdom was the cavalry. They traveled thousands of miles with few defeats. In the past ten years or so, although Liang and Liao had opened border markets, there had been many secret local skirmishes.
In every conflict, the Liang Kingdom basically ended in failure, but if the Liao Kingdom's cavalry participated, the Liang Kingdom would not simply fail, but suffer a disastrous defeat!
Therefore, the 50,000 Liao cavalry coming to kill was really too much of a deterrent to Zhou Jishi and others, like a dark cloud covering the sky, making people breathless.
The only way they subconsciously thought of was to defend the city.
If there weren't reinforcements near Youzhou, they would even be worried about whether Youzhou City could be defended...
But what about Su Xian?
He actually wanted to swallow 50,000 Liao cavalry in one go!
Does this mean that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, or are they real tigers?
Facing the questioning looks from everyone, Su Xian looked unusually calm.
In fact, Su Xian was very calm throughout the evening.
Because he knows that he is responsible for this matter and must not make a wrong step. He must force himself to calm down. Only when people are calm can they think smoothly and have clear ideas.
Happily, he actually did it.
All night tonight, he didn't panic, he was calm and wise... For this reason, he was a little bit proud. This is really... a natural talent for me!
No, 50,000 Liao cavalry pressed into the territory. Under the huge pressure like a dark cloud, everyone else thought of conservative methods——
That is to say, defend the city.
After all, they still have 20,000 soldiers, tens of thousands of young people can be recruited in the city, and there is no shortage of water and food. In this situation, they can defend the city.
When the surrounding reinforcements arrive one after another, the 50,000 Liao cavalry may take the initiative to evacuate.
Because the Liao troops lurking in the city waiting to usher them into the city have been annihilated by Su Xian and others with thunderous means, and there will no longer be anyone to usher them in.
Therefore, the method of defending the city is the best method at the moment from all aspects.
However, Su Xian, who has always remained calm and rational, was not intimidated by the pressure of the dark clouds. He took a longer view. After looking at the overall situation, he discovered an opportunity that no one else had discovered!
The so-called crisis is "an opportunity amidst crisis".
If you can seize the opportunity, it is possible to make a comeback!
"Everyone, don't forget the Liao troops lurking in Ping'an City and their true purpose. In addition, the fact that we used thunder to annihilate them has not spread outside the city to outsiders."
Su Xian said suddenly.
The whole person seemed calm and wise.
When Zhou Jishi, Qiu Dianjun, Luo Gan, Yang Zhilan, Youzhou Governor and others heard this, their hearts moved and their minds were suddenly opened.
Yes!
The Liao army hiding in Youzhou City was originally intended to lead the Liao army outside the city to attack the city.
Now, they have been wiped out, but the Liao army outside the city does not know.
You can indeed take advantage of this to trick the Liao cavalry hard, and use the empty city strategy to catch turtles in the jar.
Everyone present was extremely smart. After Su Xian's little guidance, they understood the key. The empty city strategy might be feasible!
But after a while of excitement, Zhou Ji's office and others gradually calmed down.
This alone does not seem to be enough, and this plan is very likely to evolve into "letting the wolf into the house"...
Still not quite right.
At this time, Su Xian reminded him calmly and wisely:
"Everyone, have you forgotten that Duke Weiwu said that the mountain cannot be conquered?"
"Mighty Duke?"
After everyone was stunned for a moment, they immediately reacted.
The mighty Duke, also known as Yan Dashan, was sent by Su Xian to Jizhou next door to Youzhou a few days ago, and he had an order that could dispatch soldiers and horses from several states.
Yan Dashan, he is from the Yan family.
Thinking back to more than ten years ago, on the northern battlefield, the Yan family really chased the Liao army and beat them.
The Liao cavalry, just a flag of the Yan family, can frighten their courage and make them flee in panic.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
However, after that huge accident, more than ten members of the Yan family's father and brother were all buried in horse leather. The only remaining Yan Dashan was also unjustly imprisoned and imprisoned in the prison department...
Since then, Daliang's combat effectiveness has dropped by more than one level.
At that time, the Queen ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor. If it were not for the trade with Liao, exchange of border markets, and stabilizing the giant beast of Liao, life of the Liang Dynasty might really be difficult.
In the past ten years or so, there have been secret small-scale conflicts between the two countries. As a result, Daliang was defeated every time...
So in general, people in the Yan family are all gods of war.
Yan Dashan is one of the best.
He has the transfer order given to him by Su Xian and has disappeared for many days. No news has been sent back, but he must be preparing something secretly.
Moreover, Yan Dashan hid himself very well. He did not alert the enemy, but hid in the dark and waited for opportunities.
When Su Xian and others were carrying out the "empty city strategy", Yan Dashan suddenly appeared with a large number of men and horses, seizing the fleeting opportunity to attack the Liao cavalry...
There is a lot of potential for this!
But the key point is whether Yan Dashan can seize that fleeting opportunity.
"The general believes in the general. He can definitely do it. The general has never disappointed anyone." Luo Gan was the first to stand up and said proudly:
"From the general's point of view, the 'empty city strategy' will definitely work! In the past ten years or so, the Liao cavalry have shown off their power. Tonight we will let them taste the feeling of fear again."
"We can definitely swallow those 50,000 Liao cavalry!" Luo Gan smiled ferociously and licked his chapped lips, looking eager to try.
"..."
After Luo Gan stood up and agreed, Qiu Dianjun also agreed.
After all, Zhou Jishi and Youzhou Governor were civil servants. Although they believed in Yan Dashan's ability, they still felt that it was not safe enough and did not want to take too many risks.
In the end, Su Xian took out the gold medal given by Princess Lanling, showed his identity, and that he was the leader of the matter, and then forcibly passed the "empty city strategy" decision.
Seeing this, Zhou Ji's office and the governor of Youzhou had no choice but to nod and agree.
Next, everyone held a secret discussion in the Yamen lobby for a while, and then dispersed.
They all have their own tasks, which are various preparations for the empty city strategy.
Youzhou City is very large, and suspicion formations need to be set up at the gates on all sides. When entering the streets and alleys behind the city gates, ambush is also needed. The garrison camp in the west of the city also needs to be arranged...
After everyone left, a scout suddenly came to report that 50,000 Liao cavalry had set out from Jimen Pass. According to their marching speed, they would arrive at the city in about an hour.
"One hour is enough!"
Su Xian nodded, and then sent someone to tell Luo Gan, Qiu Dianjun, Zhou Jishi and others about the news, and ordered them to speed up preparations without delay!
