Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 215 Linzi
The tip of the gun is arrow-shaped, and it looks like a chopper when connected together.Its function can cut and stab, and it is one of the long weapons used in the army of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Song exited the system satisfied.

"Prime Minister!" Xue Rengui saluted and shouted.

"Order! The whole army retreats to Guandu! Pay close attention to Yuan Shaojun's movements!" Li Song ordered.

"No!" Xue Rengui clasped his hands in response, and immediately sent an order to go down.

After receiving the military order, the army headed towards Guandu!

Outside the city of Linzi in Qingzhou, the army has been besieging the city for some time. Li Song's army and Luo Cheng's camp, inside the camp of the Chinese army, Luo Cheng, Pei Yuanqing and others surrounded the sand table.

"Our army has been besieging Linzi for some time, but we have not been able to take Linzi down. Do you have any good strategies?" Luo Cheng asked.

"General! With the current strength of our army, the siege of the city is already very reluctant. The enemy is defending the city and is unwilling to come out to fight with our army. If you want to conquer Linzi, you have to fight with them." Pei Yuanqing said.

He had fought under Linzi city more than once, no matter how he called, the gates of Linzi city were closed, Yuan Tan just wouldn't come out to fight him.

"As the capital of a vassal state, Linzi is not only majestic and magnificent, but also has strong defenses. If you want to capture Linzi, even if you have more than ten times as many troops as the defenders, it will not be so easy."

“何况现在我军的兵力就算围城，也有些不足，临淄城的城墙高14米左右，厚30米（最宽处达55—67米），顶宽在10米左右；有城墙拐角24处（仅东墙淄河西岸就有14处）。南、北墙外有10多米宽、3米深的壕沟。”

"When Yuan Tan withdrew into the city, he hoarded a lot of food and grass in Linzi. If we continue to consume it with him, it will not last for a year or so. A strong attack will definitely not work. Now our army can only outwit it. Only then can we win!" Zhang Liao said.

Linzi, as the capital of the vassal states, is naturally not comparable to ordinary cities. It was one of the five capitals in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties. It also has "Chang'an in the west, Linzi in the east", "Rome in the East", and "famous capitals in China". traditional honor.

At the same time, it reflects Linzi's prosperity, strong population, sufficient supplies, etc. It is really not that easy to consume the food and grass of the defenders. Once time passes, the army may still have unstable morale. If so, let alone It is luck to conquer Linzi without causing mutiny!
"Wenyuan! How do you think we should outwit Linzi City?" Luo Cheng asked. After all, Zhang Liao put forward the idea of ​​outwitting Linzi. If you don't ask him who?

Everyone also looked at Zhang Liao to see what tricks he had up his sleeve!
Zhang Liao blushed, and said a little embarrassedly: "Zhang Liao only knows how to deploy troops, he doesn't know much about strategy."

I just said that Zhang Liao was powerless to come up with a plan to outwit Linzi!
"Report!" At this time, a report came from outside the camp of the Chinese army.

"What's the matter?" Luo Cheng looked up and saw a soldier standing outside the camp of the Chinese army, clasped his fists, Luo Cheng asked.

"Report to the general! Situ and Shangshu ordered Master Liu Bowen to ask for an audience outside the camp! He said he came here at the order of the prime minister!" said the soldier.

Everyone was overjoyed after hearing this!It's really drowsy and someone will give you a pillow!Liu Bowen came at the right time.

"Quick! Sir Situ, please enter the account!" Luo Cheng laughed.

"No!" The soldier clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and was about to leave, when Luo Cheng suddenly called out to him, "Wait a minute! I'd better meet Master Situ in person."

Not long after Luo Cheng finished speaking, he changed his mind. He couldn't wait to see Liu Bowen.

The wind was blowing under Luo Cheng's feet, and he quickly ran out of the camp of the Chinese army and came outside the camp. The rest of the generals went to greet the master in person, and he couldn't resist himself, so they walked together.

Then I saw a group of people standing outside the big camp, one of them smiled at Luo Cheng and bowed his hands!This person is dressed in Tsing Yi, seven feet tall, fair face, bearded, holding a feather fan, wearing a kerchief on his head, gentle and elegant!Who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Bowen.

"General Luo! Generals! It's been a while since we left Xuchang! How are you doing?" After seeing Luo Cheng and the general, Liu Bowen gently shook his feather fan and stroked his beard.

"Lord Situ! I haven't seen you for a long time! You still have the same demeanor!" Luo Cheng said.

"General Luo! You look sad between your brows! But what trouble did you encounter? Do you need me to relieve the general's worries!" Liu Bowen said.

After waiting for your words, Luo Cheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "This is not a place to talk, please let Master Situ in, and I will talk to you."

"That's fine! General, please lead the way!" Liu Bowen said.

Luo Cheng led Liu Bowen to the camp of the Chinese army, surrounded the sand table, pointed at Linzi and said, "Since our army conquered Qingzhou, we have been invincible all the way! But we hit a wall in Linzi!"

"Yuan Tan defended Linzi to no avail, and our army was unable to break through the city, so he should not be called! Master Situ, what do you think should we do?" Luo Cheng told Liu Bowen for advice.

"If you want to take Linzi down, you have to outsmart it, not attack it by force!" Liu Bowen stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

"Lord Situ, of course we know this, but please show Liu Situ how to outsmart him." Luo Cheng said, and everyone also looked at Liu Bowen.

Seeing everyone's eager eyes, Liu Bowen said: "I have a plan here! It can outwit Linzi City! But..."

This is all imminent, what are you doing, Luo Cheng asked: "Liu Situ, what are you doing? Just say it, we will definitely cooperate with all our strength!"

"However, we still need to borrow someone from the prime minister to carry out this plan!" Liu Bowen said.

"Liu Situ, who is it? You must ask the prime minister for this person!" Pei Yuanqing said.

"It is inconvenient to inform at this time! At that time, the generals will know that this person is very important in this plan, but before that, there are still some things that need to be done by you, so come here." Liu Bowen said.

Luo Cheng and others looked at each other and leaned towards Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen whispered his plan to the generals, and everyone nodded frequently.

"Okay! Let's all leave! Follow Master Situ's plan!" After Liu Bowen finished speaking, Luo Cheng immediately announced the dismissal and asked everyone to follow the plan.

"No!" All the generals clasped their fists and saluted, turned around and left the camp of the Chinese army, and hurried to go.

"Lord Situ, please ask Sir Situ to write a letter in his own handwriting about borrowing someone from the prime minister, and I will send it to Guandu." After the generals left, Luo Cheng said with a salute.

"The matter of sending letters! Don't bother the general. The general must remember that no matter what, the defenders in Linzi City must not be allowed to contact the outside world." Liu Bowen said.

"Master Situ, don't worry! I understand how to do it!" Luo Cheng reassured.
