The next day, in the side palace, Emperor Xiao Gang and several important officials, watched Li Li explain how to attack Shouyang and Zhongli.

Of course, a small person like Li Li did not know the important officials present. However, after hearing the eunuch's whisper, I felt unbelievable and my heart was so cold.

When Hou Jing's rebels were about to cross the river, the strange creature who had lost the quarry for no reason - General Ningyuan Wang Zhi, is here now.

When Hou Jing's rebels attacked Jiankang, crossed the Qinhuai River, and attacked Zhuque Gate, the strange man who was frightened by the wandering arrows and abandoned Zhuque Gate, Yu Xin, a scholar of the Eastern Palace, is here now.

When Yu Xin lost the Zhuque Gate, he led his troops to reinforce the general who was about to collapse at once, and Wang Zhi was the king.

It’s not that Li Li looked down on others, but that he felt that this kind of war idiot can still participate in the Supreme Military Conference, which is really a tragedy for the country.

Wang Zhi was born in the Wang family of Langya, which is the "king" in the "Wang Xie Gaomen". He is famous for his literature and has previously mastered the guards of the Eastern Palace. It is said that he has both civil and military (military style). He can be said to be an old member of the Eastern Palace and the emperor's confidant.

Yu Xin was a talented man and a literary master. He became a attendant of the Eastern Palace at the age of fifteen. He went in and out of the palace with his father. His kindness and courtesy were unparalleled.

The royal family of Liang State advocated literature, so they trusted and valued literary scholars. Wang Zhi and Yu Xin were both regular guests in the palace and were trusted by the late emperor and the new king.

This is actually nothing. As experts and even academic masters in the field of literature, it is natural that these two are valued by the literary emperor.

The problem is that leading troops to fight also makes these two literary masters, who are known as "knowing soldiers", take the responsibility of the country as a joke.

Facts have proved that these two are military idiots who harmed the country and the people. As a result, the new king ascended the throne and still participated in military planning. He should have a place because he was the old identity of the Eastern Palace.

Another person was Liu Zhongli, the commander-in-chief of the King's Army who had been passively avoiding war. Li Li always suspected that this person had accepted a certain vassal king, so he deliberately avoided war at that time and wanted to sit idly by and watch Taicheng fall.

To put it bluntly, the commander of the King's Army avoiding war is equivalent to sitting on the verge of the emperor and the crown prince, but he is still involved in confidentiality. Why?

Because of status.

Liu Zhongli was born in the Liu family in Hedong. The Liu family in Hedong was a noble family of founding countries and was both literary and military. Liu Zhongli was the "Wu" branch. When he was in the frontier, he was said to have fought with Hou Jing and gained the upper hand. He was known as a famous general.

When the emperor was still in the Eastern Palace, Liu Zhongli was also an assistant. Although his trustworthiness was not as good as his cousin Wei Can, the new emperor could use the handsome talent who could immediately use it seemed that this person was the most famous.

Li Li thinks that this is probably the reason why Liu Zhongli is involved in military strategy planning now.

Now, these three people are sitting in front of them. They either don’t know how to fight or perform abnormally, but are regarded as right-handed by the emperor. They want to "break the deadlock" in the military, Li Li only feels that the future of Liang State is dark.

However, with the veteran general Pei Zhigao, the prince of Poyang, who served the king, also present, Li Li gained a little more confidence: this man performed well when serving the king and witnessed him attacking Dongfu City with his own eyes.

Before, I was in Huainan and was very familiar with Shouyang and Zhongli.

Then, this old general would like to support his strategy of "closing the door and beating the dog" against Hou Jing.

At the beginning of the demonstration, Li Li asked someone to push the mud and wood model from Shouyang, and then pulled off the cloth covered on the model.

When the emperor and the ministers saw it, they felt very disappointed: There is nothing strange about this siege equipment?

Li Li knew that if he was referring to the classics, he could not argue that the literary master who was known as "knowing the army". If he was referring to combat experience, he could not compare with the famous general Liu Zhongli and the veteran Pei Zhigao.

In terms of identity and status, if you are not qualified to participate in the discussion of military strategies, you must highlight your expertise in "siege cities" and focus on the siege technology, so that these people can't even ask questions.

Because in "ancient times", the status of "workers" was very low, I am afraid that none of the "civil and military bosses" in front of me had any research on engineering technology.

Even Liu Zhongli, who has been through the battle for a long time, may be familiar with common methods of siege, but he can only be stunned in front of his engineering skills.

Li Li saluted the emperor and then opened the right path: "Shouyang is on the south bank of the Huai River and on the west bank of the Fei River. He has always attacked cities and used water to attack, such as building a dam in the Fei River and irrigating the city."

Pei Zhigao and Shouyang City are very "destined". They participated in the war to recover Shouyang back then. Now, after hearing what Li Li said, he nodded, but the others did not comment.

Li Li continued: "However, the water attack takes a long time, building a dam takes time, and storing water takes time. After soaking the city, you have to wait until the city's grain becomes moldy and the defenders are exhausted before you can break through."

"In addition, if the water attacks Shouyang, the city walls are soaked and are very likely to collapse. Then, after the official army enters the city, they have to demolish the walls and build the walls. The project is huge and takes a long time. If it rains, the construction period will be delayed. Once the Northern Territories attack, it will be difficult to defend."

"So, our army must not only break Shouyang quickly, but also ensure that the Shouyang city wall is intact as much as possible so as to resist the counterattack of the Northern Territories..."

"Then, the siege method offered by the Xiaguan can take into account both needs..."

"First of all, the lower official will explain a word first, that is the center of gravity..."

......

The summer is hot, and even if people are bare-handed, they feel hot. However, the soldiers of the Shouyang defenders were wearing armor and guarding the scorching sun to deal with the Liang army at the city.

In the wilderness to the south, the old general Pei Zhigao looked at the familiar city in front of him, and was filled with mixed feelings.

The emperor decided to take Shouyang and Zhongli first, drive away the Wei army in Huainan (Eastern Wei army), and then close the gate and beat the dogs against Hou Jing. He followed the army to attack Shouyang.

Shouyang is a very special place for him and even Pei.

In the late years of Xiao Qi, Emperor Qi was tyrannical, and the governor Pei Shuye occupied the Wei State in Beitou, Shouyang, and from then on, Shouyang was owned by the Wei State.

The children of the Pei family in Hedong who lived in Shouyang entered Wei, but a few people fled back to the south. Pei Zhigao's brothers and uncle Pei Sui were one of these "few people".

During the reign of Qi and Liang Dynasty, Pei Sui guarded Hefei and attacked Shouyang many times. Pei Zhigao participated in the battle, but he could not conquer the city.

Later, the official army eliminated the small towns around Shouyang, and defeated reinforcements. Finally, they concentrated their forces to attack Shouyang. The city was not defeated, but the uncle died of illness in the army.

Xiahou Kui, who was also a wealthy family in Huainan (residential residence), took over as the commander. Pei Zhigao continued to attack Shouyang with the army and took a lot of effort to capture the city. It was hard to get.

This happened more than 20 years ago.

As a result, Shouyang, which was hard to get, was easy to throw away. Now he is still old and wants to attack Shouyang again. Seeing his nephews playing around, he couldn't help but think of the past.

Back then, the Pei family's uncle and nephew fought bloody battles to attack Shouyang. Now, another group of Pei family's uncle and nephews are still fighting bloody battles to attack Shouyang.

Over the past forty years, three generations of Pei family have been fighting against Shouyang, alas...

The shouting brought Pei Zhigao's thoughts back to reality. He looked at the "construction" of the material soldiers in the wilderness outside the city, looking forward to it.

The emperor took the King of Poyang as the commander and led his army to recover Shouyang and Zhongli, and drove away the Wei army in Huainan. Now he attacked Shouyang first.

The general in charge of the siege this time was the "Li Jianzuo" who broke the Dongfu City in half a day. Now, after several months, "Li Jianzuo" has become "Li Caiguan". Pei Zhigao really wanted to know what method this young man would use to break through Shouyang City.

Previously, Hou Jing was in Shouyang and led his troops to attack and kept people to defend the city.

Later, Xiao Fan, the King of Poyang who was in charge of Hefei, sent troops to attack Shouyang, and broke the outer city, but the inner city could not be broken, so he had to withdraw his troops.

Seeing that he was isolated and helpless, the defending general refused to surrender to Liang State, but instead surrendered to Wei State. Now there are 3,000 reinforcements from Wei Army in the city. It is difficult for the official army to break through in a short period of time.

The Eastern Wei took advantage of the situation and extended his hand to Huainan. Although the official army surrounded Shouyang, if it was delayed, the Wei army would attack.

Even if these Wei troops in Huainan were repelled, if they still could not take Shouyang, the Wei State would definitely send reinforcements to the south.

It is said that Murong Shaozong, who defeated Hou Jing at the beginning of last year, led his troops to attack Yingchuan, Henan. He had been fighting for nearly a year, and he could capture Yingchuan at any time and then go south again.

If this person comes and Shouyang has not yet been captured, who can still stop him?

Even if Shouyang is captured and the city wall is damaged and there is no time to repair it, how can we resist the Wei army's offensive?

A series of problems make people feel a headache when they recall it. While Pei Zhigao was thinking about it, his son Pei Ji approached.

Pei Ji looked at the busy siege official camp in front of him and whispered to his father: "I just received a message from Yingchuan."

"What news?"

"I'll report it carefully, saying..." Pei Ji hesitated a little, "I said that Murong Shaozong led his army to attack Yingchuan, but he couldn't capture it for a long time, so he stored water to attack the city and soaked Yingchuan."

"Not long ago, Murong Shaozong was on a boat to approach the city wall to check the military situation... and fell into the water and drowned."

"What, what?" Pei Zhigao felt unbelievable when he heard the news, "Drowned? Why did he drowned?"

"The child didn't believe it either, but he could find out carefully that Murong Shaozong was indeed drowned."

"This..." Pei Zhigao murmured, shocked. Murong Shaozong was drowned as a famous general of the world. He was in trouble while inspecting the enemy situation while siegeing the city. This was simply...

It's simply a blessing!

Pei Zhigao became excited and looked at Shouyang City in front of him, looking at the official camp of the siege who was already preparing to attack the city.

Murong Shaozong died, and the Eastern Wei army had not yet captured Yingchuan occupied by the Western Wei, but the commander died, so it was impossible to go south in a short time.

Therefore, as long as the official army can quickly conquer Shouyang and the downstream Zhongli, there will be enough time to strengthen the defense and let the Wei army retreat when they face the difficulties.

In this way, the Huai River line was under the control of the official army, and the emperor could achieve the strategy of "closing the door and beating the dog".

Hou Jing, who occupied Guangling, had no troops to cross the Huai River in the north or the river in the south. He was really a stray dog ​​locked in the yard!

Now it seems that the strategy of closing the door and fighting dogs is indeed exquisite. It is said that it was also the idea of ​​General Li Li, a talent officer?

Pei Zhigao thought about it and looked at Shouyang again, looking at the flying flag of the "Li" in Cai official camp.

Li Li actually had a army. This time he joined the army to join the war and protected the official camp of the corps. He was all from Poyang.

Pei Zhigao had seen these people and found that Li Li's troops were all burly and Kong Wu was powerful, so they were the material for the powerful soldiers.

However, what he cares most about was the siege method that Li Li thought of. Pei Zhigao had seen the demonstration and found it simple but incredible, so he is full of expectations now.

Boy, it depends on you whether Shouyang can go quickly!
Chapter completed!
