Chapter 512 Dangerous Strategies (Thanks to Literary Youth C for the reward)
In Jingzhao County and Wugong County, there were more than 25 Li Yuan and Chen soldiers. After Wei Guo lost Wugong County, he successively mobilized troops and gathered [-] troops.

The place where the two sides will fight is located in the Weihe Plain. There is no terrain advantage to speak of here.

This is also the fundamental reason why Li Yuan and Wei Hong are unwilling to offend the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Because this large-scale battle between the two sides can only be fought by people, fight hard!

There is no such thing as defending or attacking based on terrain advantages. Both sides have advantages and both sides have disadvantages. To a certain extent, only the soldiers of both sides can decide the outcome!
Not to mention the logistical aspect, Li Yuan is based in Fufeng County, and Wei Hong is based in Jingzhao County. They have plenty of food and grass, and can be quickly dispatched to the front line in a short period of time.

It is precisely because of this that the two sides need an absolutely stable external environment to provide them with time for a decisive battle.

Since the 10-strong army of the Northern Jin Dynasty conquered Luoyang, Li Yuan and Wei Hong quickly fought at the border area. The number of soldiers in the daily battle reached tens of thousands.

Li Yuan's troops were divided into two groups. One was led by Li Jishi and Li Anmin to attack Wugong County with 12 troops, and the other was Li Yuan led [-] troops to attack Shangyi.

At present, Wugong County has been taken by Li Anmin's army. Li Yuan was attacked by Wei Zhi, the chief minister of the Wei State, in Shangyi, but failed to conquer Shangyi.

After hearing the news, Li Jishi led an army of [-] to assist Li Yuan and confront Wei Zhi.

Due to the loss of Wugong County, Wei Hongda was furious, and the garrison troops stationed in various places of Wei State pulled out their troops to gather around Wugong County.

With this ebb and flow, Wei Guo won the victory in Wugong County, recaptured Wugong County, even forced Li Anmin back, and further entered Fufeng County Mei County.

Li Yuan and Li Jishi immediately gave up the siege of Shangyi and led their troops back to aid Mei County, Fufeng County.

Ten miles south of Mei County is Anren Palace, which is also Li Yuan's marching camp. Since the Wei army counterattacked Fufeng County, their forces are currently confronting each other on the front line.

The two sides are currently in a stalemate and have been fighting for several months. Apart from continuously reducing the number of soldiers, there is no way to get more.They all understood that this was a life-and-death battle, so no one backed down and used all their strength to attack each other.

The atmosphere in the hall is very dignified, with Li Yuan at the top, Li Jishi and his brother at the bottom left, Duguzheng, Dou Wei and others kneeling in turn.

"Everyone, do you have a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Li Yuan hoarsely asked what he had to ask almost every day in the past few months.

Although he had no hope in his heart, he still hoped that someone would stand up and come up with a solution.After all, there is no way to continue to consume like this. After fighting for so long, there is almost no progress, and Wei Guo even counterattacked Fufeng County.

Dugu stayed silent, marching and fighting was not his forte, not to mention that he had already handed over all the food, gold and silver, and even talents of the Dugu family to Li Yuan.

But at present, Li Yuan has not shown any results.

Li Jishi and Li Anmin bowed their heads in silence. After fighting for so long, they also understood the strength of Wei Guo.

"Father, let the child lead the three thousand heavy cavalry, and he will surely defeat the enemy!"

A burly and strong Huang Xu'er stood up, Weng Sheng shouted.

Li Jishi glanced at his third younger brother Yuan Ding, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Shut up, what kind of place is this, you're showing off your cleverness, and you still don't back down!"

Li Yuanding ignored his eldest brother, and continued to say: "Father, if you want to defeat Wei, you can only defeat it with strength, and there is no chance for strategy!"

Li Yuan frowned, he didn't like this youngest son very much, even though he was also a legitimate son, he acted wildly without any scruples.Many ministers told him privately that Yuan Ding had almost become a serious disaster in Longxi.

This time when he was conquering Wei, he transferred this son over to prevent him from causing a catastrophe due to lack of time to take care of him.

However, this youngest son is not without merits. He has been extremely powerful since he was a child, and he has a strange strength. There are few generals in the army who are his opponents.

"Nonsense, back off!"

Are you kidding me, three thousand heavy cavalry?

That was the elite that cost him hundreds of thousands of gold to build, and he would never use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Li Yuanding sniffed, snorted, and retreated to his second brother.

Li Anmin's eyes flashed when he heard the third brother's words, and he suddenly thought of a good idea.

But this place is not the place to talk, he quietly gestured to his father, who understood and nodded calmly.

After half an hour, the meeting ended.

"Let you read some strategies on the art of war, you have completely forgotten, right?"

On the way to Li Yuan's study, Li Jishi scolded his third younger brother Yuan Ding mercilessly, "Break it with strength, haven't you fought Zen Master Yuwen? Do you think you can defeat him!"

Li Yuanding lowered his head, and didn't speak in the face of his elder brother's reprimand. He knew very well what his elder brother was like. If he talked back to him at this time, he would definitely be dragged by his ears for several hours.

"Brother, third brother is also sharing father's worries." Li Anmin persuaded.

"Hmph!" Li Jishi flicked his sleeves to save face for his second brother, walked quickly, and distanced himself from the two of them.

"Second brother, I can defeat the Yuwen dog thief, as you can see, I was the one who defeated him in the first battle in Wugong County."

After the eldest brother left, Li Yuanding spoke dissatisfiedly.

Li Anmin nodded, "Second brother knows, but the important matter of the soldiers and the country must not be taken lightly. Don't say that next time, just talk to daddy in private if you have any ideas."

"Ah."

The three arrived at the study.

"Erlang, do you have any ideas?" Li Yuan asked directly.

He had seen his son's gestures earlier and knew he had something to say.

Li Anmin said: "Father, now we are in a stalemate with the State of Wei. The two sides have invested almost all of their troops, and it is barely a tie. The time and place are favorable. We and the State of Wei each have five points. The only thing that can decide the outcome is harmony."

Li Yuan nodded, "Go ahead."

"If we want to win the Wei Kingdom, we must put all our eggs in one basket and put them to death to survive." Li Anmin said with burning eyes: "We must lose! The defeat is complete and deep, and we will annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"No!" Li Jishi interrupted, "Second brother, this is too risky."

Except for Li Yuanding, Li Yuan and Li Jishi all understood what strategy Li Anmin was going to say, and it was precisely because of this that Li Jishi objected.

Because if this plan fails, it will be self-defeating and lead to defeat.

"Brother, do we want to continue this stalemate!" Li Anmin retorted.

"Even if there is a stalemate, such a strategy must not be adopted." Li Jishi cupped his hands towards Li Yuan and said, "Father, there must be other ways to defeat the enemy. The second brother's strategy is too dangerous. If it fails, we will There is no place to die."

Li Yuan's face was serious, and he also had reservations about this strategy.

"Erlang, do you know what the consequences will be if this plan fails."

"My son knows." Li Anmin said: "But father, we have no choice. If we continue to consume like this, the outcome is unpredictable!"

Li Jishi couldn't help but refuted again: "Second brother, we haven't reached the end of the mountain, why do we have to adopt such a strategy, are you so sure that we will succeed!"

"Brother, I just defeated the Wei army in Wugong County not long ago. As a result, they quickly mobilized a large number of troops in Guanzhong. Now the Wei army has reached as many as 30. If things go on like this, we will be exhausted by the Wei army!"

"We have also mobilized troops from all over the country one after another, and now we have as many as 25. As long as we fight steadily, we may not be able to find the opponent's loopholes." Li Jishi retorted loudly.

The two brothers refused to give in to each other, and they quarreled fiercely.

Li Jishi tends to be conservative, while Li Anmin tends to be radical, neither of them can convince the other.

Li Yuan got a headache from the quarrel between his two sons.

"enough!"

With an angry shout, the three sons fell silent.

"In front of the enemy, you two are arguing endlessly here. You are fighting in a nest. Do you want to piss me off!"

"The child is out of shape!" The three quickly knelt down.

Seeing this, Li Yuan waved his hand and sent the three of them away.

"You go back to the military camps and wait for my order."

"Yes."

Not long after, Duguzheng, Dou Wei, Liu Wenli, and Pei Ji walked in.

"General, the Wei army is now stationed in the area of ​​Mei County. I wonder if the general has a plan to defeat the enemy?" Duguzheng took the lead in launching the attack.

Li Yuan forced a smile on his face, "Mr. Dugu, don't worry, we already have a solution."

"Please tell the general."

Li Yuan took a deep breath, and simply threw out the method that his second son said.As expected, the four people immediately said no, and Liu Wenli and Pei Ji were a little more tactful, saying that 'this plan is not appropriate'.Straightforward ones such as Duguzheng and Dou Wei said 'it's just nonsense'.

"Does Mr. Dugu have a good plan?" Li Yuan asked modestly.

Duguzheng immediately said: "I think the general's previous strategy of dividing the troops into two groups was inappropriate, and the soldiers should join together and head straight to Chang'an!"

Li Yuan pursed his lips, he knew that Duguzhen came here to vent his dissatisfaction.
