The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

When Feng Jiuxiao arrived at the gates of Chengdu, the two Song armies had just joined forces, and Chen Bing was studying a plan to attack the city below!

Dozens of Song generals gathered inside the handsome tent.

Wang Quanbin, deputy envoy Cui Yanjin, and supervisor Wang Renzhan were deployed as the main commander of the North Route Army. Liu Guangyi and Supervisor Cao Bin were deployed as the deputy commander of the South Route Army. They sat on both sides of His Royal Highness Zhao Guangyi, King Jin of the Song Dynasty. The rest of the middle and lower-ranking officers followed suit. Stand on both sides.

Eunuch Li, the python-robed eunuch, was standing behind King Jin, his eyes seemed to be closed but still open. It was unclear whether he was meditating or had fallen into trance.

The candlelight in the tent flickered, as bright as day.

Zhao Guangyi actually arrived not long before Feng Jiuxiao, an hour at most.

Along the way, he kept using flying pigeons to send messages and exchange information with the two armies.

Wang Quanbin's northern army and Liu Guangyi's southern army arrived at Chengdu City almost front and back.

Although Wang Quanbin took the lead in reaching Chengdu, he had no intention of attacking the city.

His Royal Highness King Jin’s intention is very clear, no one can attack before he arrives!

He wants to personally supervise the siege!

Could it be that the generals of the two armies did not understand the meaning of His Highness King Jin?

The reason why the King of Jin asked Emperor Song to personally supervise the battle was on the surface that he wanted to share the emperor's worries. In fact, it is hard to say what his intentions were!

Is it to accumulate military merit and increase prestige, or is it to reach out to the military and take the opportunity to infiltrate one's own power?

Almost all the generals of the Song Dynasty have met King Jin, and they all know that King Jin participated in almost all major battles with Emperor Song!

Accumulate military merit? do you need?

So smart people have long seen the ambition of King Jin! What the King of Jin needs is not military merit! What he needs is military power!

But who dares to talk? Everyone can see it, but Emperor Song can’t see it? Maybe the Song Emperor had already had a countermeasure, but he just kept it secret. If he talks too much at this time, he might put himself in a dangerous position!

It is taboo for a minister to interfere in the royal family's private affairs!

After Zhao Guangyi arrived at the Song Army's camp, he immediately held a meeting to study the siege plan.

There is no difference in the overall plan of siege, it is nothing more than storming from the main gate.

Because the terrain in Chengdu is extremely complex and steep, if you want to attack other city gates, you have to take a long detour. You can't go there for ten or eight days. The key is that some roads are extremely difficult to walk. Li Bai has a poem that says: Shu Road Difficult, difficult to reach the sky. There are some steep sections where horses and baggage cannot pass at all. So attacking from the east gate is the only option.

There is no dispute about the main direction of attack, but there are differences in the timing of the attack.

Wang Quanbin suggested a quick victory, organize an attack now, and not give Shu a chance to breathe!

Liu Guangyi suggested attacking the city at night!

Wang Quanbin's reason is that now using the remaining power of capturing Fengjie to attack Chengdu in one go will put huge pressure on Chengdu, and it is very likely to force the opponent to surrender directly to the city. Even if he does not surrender, at this time, various reinforcements from the Shu Dynasty will attack. It is far away, and we will not be able to arrive in time for a while. Even if we arrive, we will still be exhausted, so there is nothing to fear. If we don't fight now, it will give Shu a chance to breathe. When the time comes, soldiers and horses from all walks of life will rush to Chengdu one after another. The longer it takes, The more enemy reinforcements there will be, the more difficult it will be for the Song Dynasty to attack the city!

There are two reasons why Liu Guangyi advocated attacking at night.

First, the Song army had been fighting for several days, and the soldiers' physical fitness had been exhausted to the limit. Failure to rest in time greatly affected their combat effectiveness!

Second, the first ones to arrive here are cavalry and infantry. Many logistics troops and heavy siege weapons such as three-bow crossbows, ballistas, and trebuchets are still behind. Due to the complicated road conditions, these baggage is not expected to arrive until the evening.

With the blessing of heavy weapons, the siege effect will be more effective with half the effort! Only then will the casualties of the Song Army be greatly reduced!

Liu Guangyi said it very straightforwardly. The Shu army may not have the best combat effectiveness, but the Shu army has its own characteristics. The longer the battle goes on, the more their blood will be stimulated!

Liu Guangyi bluntly said that if he attacks other dynasties, as long as the capital of the dynasty is captured, the entire dynasty may surrender immediately! But he discovered today that the Shu army actually had a strong spirit in their bones and had the courage to fight to the end!

Liu Guangyi believed that even if the Song army captured Chengdu, the Shu army would still resist stubbornly and would not surrender easily. The divisions of King Qin from all over the country would come to stop the Song army one after another. Every inch of mountains and rivers was worth an inch of blood. The offensive resistance of the Song army can be imagined! If you want to completely conquer Shu, you must be prepared for a protracted war with Shu. If we want to fight until Shu completely loses its ability to resist, how many lives of the sons of the Song Dynasty will be needed to fill this hole?

Liu Guangyi was quite emotional at the end.

He believed that the children of the Song Dynasty came here all the way to make achievements, not to die. He also wanted to bring everyone back in triumph!

Zhao Guangyi waved his hand, "I agree with Liu Guangyi's opinion, attack the city at night!"

Seeing that the "coach" had made up his mind, all the generals stood up and clasped their fists at the same time: "As ordered!"

Wang Quanbin said: "According to the spies, tens of thousands of cavalry left the city in Chengdu in the early morning, and they were said to be brought out by the emperor's younger brother Meng Xu!"

Zhao Guangyi said: "I have met Meng Xu! Don't bother with them! Are you trying to tell me that the defenses in Chengdu are weak, so we can take it down now?"

Wang Quanbin immediately bowed and clasped his fists in fear: "The general will not dare!"

Zhao Guangyi's eyes were cold, "Then why did you insist that Meng Xu leave the city?"

Wang Quanbin said cautiously: "I'm just reporting the enemy's intelligence truthfully!"

Zhao Guangyi said nothing and looked at the crowd, "After we capture Chengdu, we must immediately wipe out the remaining forces of the Shu Dynasty. When we occupy a place, we must stabilize it. We cannot have our backyard burned down as soon as we break through the city gate. I What we want is to sing and dance to bring peace, not to go around mourning! After entering the city, we must appease the people. We must follow Liu Bang's example and make a three-chapter agreement with the people of Chengdu to kill for life, and to let the people of Shu see that we are benevolent and righteous. Master! We are here to rescue them, not to enslave them! The king of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, once said that water can carry a boat and capsize it. These people are the boat! "

Wang Quanbin immediately praised: "The King of Jin is truly a benevolent and righteous king!"

How could Liu Guangyi fall behind? He immediately smiled and said: "Yes, the King of Jin has the world in mind, and even cares about the people of the enemy country. This benevolence is comparable to Yao and Shun!"

The expressions of Wang Quanbin and the generals in the room suddenly changed slightly!

Wang Quanbin cursed in his heart: I even swallowed the "King of Benevolence and Righteousness" even though I was talking. You dare to compare King Jin to Yao and Shun. Isn't this a blatant rebellion?

The air froze instantly, and everyone stared blankly at Zhao Guangyi!

Zhao Guangyi immediately scolded: "Guangyi, there have been many wars these days. I know you are very tired, but you can't just talk nonsense. How can I be compared with Yao and Shun? At most, I am just Liu Bei!"

It was surprisingly quiet inside the tent!

I thought that the King of Jin would reprimand Liu Guangyi for not being "humble" enough in his metaphors, and that such treasonous remarks should not be made nonsense. Who would have thought that His Highness the King of Jin actually stood up happily and put it down gently, and even criticized Liu Guangyi for not being "humble" enough in his metaphor, saying that he was only worthy of being harmonious. Liu Beibi.

Who is Liu Bei? The founding king of the Shu Han Dynasty was Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty!

I can't compare with Yao and Shun, but I can compare with Emperor Zhaolie. What does this mean?

Zhao Guangyi looked at everyone like a normal person, "Why are you silent?" He smiled, "Does it mean that some of you think I am not worthy to be compared with Liu Bei?"

Depend on!

Wang Quanbin thought to himself: Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi are indeed two brothers. One is more powerful than the other in playing tricks!

Suddenly a soldier shouted: "The deputy envoy has arrived!"

Zhao Guangyi immediately stood up and said: "Follow me to greet the deputy envoy!" (End of Chapter)
