Zhao Dangshi attaches great importance to the surrender of Bai Jiaolong and Liu Weiming. He divided Bai and Liu into the left and right battalions, and protected Dahuoshan with Yiwei. The combat effectiveness of these two battalions is not mentioned, with a large number of people, and a total of about 5,000. It should be no problem to use them to deal with other thieves in Sichuan.

Luo Shangwen was recently defeated and unable to attack. He stationed on the banks of the Jialing River along Cangxi and Langzhong, and cooperated with the soldiers of the two counties to beware of Dahuoshan. Judging from the current situation, as long as Zhao Ying did not take the initiative to provoke, they would not dare to act rashly.

In addition, there is a bad news. Recently, I learned that the Qipan guerrilla Luo Wenyuan was leading troops to quickly to support Luo Shangwen. Earlier, he brought people as a guest soldier to Shaanxi to support the war, and Zhao Dangshi took advantage of the opportunity to break up the Qipan Pass. At this time, he was ordered to return to the army and make some noise, which was to sank Dahuoshan, capture and kill Zhao Dangshi, and avenge the shame of his subordinates who died at the pass.

This room is temporarily put aside. After Yuan Tao returned to Tongjiang's old nest, he also began to mobilize various troops to prepare for the battle against Zhaoying. He himself met with the "King of Fighting" Jing Keqin and "King of Heaven" Chang Guoan in Bazhou as the main force. At the same time, he ordered Nanjiang's "Traveling 100,000" Hu Jiusi, "Following Tigers and Over the Stars" Liang Shizheng, "Two Posts" Yang San, and the "Black Tiger Mixed Tianxing" Wang Gao in the south, and the "King of Fighting" and other troops to launch three routes to attack Dahuoshan together.

According to the information provided by Bai and Liu, there are nearly 10,000 Yuan Tao's main force in Bazhou alone. In addition, the north and south routes are likely to be around 20,000. Judging from the numbers alone, Zhao Dangshi's side is undoubtedly at a disadvantage.

Knowing oneself and his opponent is a military priority. Facing a large number of opponents, Zhao Dangshi dared not be entrusted. This battle was the battle of Zhao's decisive battle in Sichuan, and the victory or defeat was related to the survival of Zhao's camp. He asked Bai Jiaolong and Liu Weiming to go up the mountain again, and summoned backbones such as Hou Dagui, Xu Hun, Yang Chengfu, Hao Yaoqi to discuss combat strategies.

Everyone discussed it all over the place, and they mainly developed two ways of dealing with it.

The first one is represented by Xu Hui, Yang Chengfu and Liu Weiming, who advocated defending the mountain. There are three reasons: First, the enemy is large and we are few, and the field is not easy. Dacao Mountain is steep and the large number of troops is difficult to deploy, which can resolve the advantage of the opponent's large number of people. Second, although the official army is defeated, the support is coming. If you go down the mountain to fight Yuan Tao in the field, Dacao City will definitely be empty. At that time, the opponent only needs to send an army to take advantage of the situation and can reap profits. Third, after many previous seizures, Dacao City has a rich reserve of grain and fodder in the city.

, Supporting for several months is no problem. Yuan Tao mobilized the troops and came from afar. Due to his plundering nature, he might not have enough logistics support. If he wanted to fight for a long time, he could only scatter troops and send grain. But once he came to Cangxi and Langzhong, after Zhao Dangshi and others arrived, various counties, towns and even civil forts began to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. Under such circumstances, it was not easy to obtain grain. Furthermore, Luo Shangwen and Luo Wenyuan's official troops and the towns and fortresses were always ready for war, and Yuan Tao could not easily disperse their troops regardless of them. Therefore, Zhao's camp was not afraid of him being besieged.

Among these people, Xu Hun was the most determined. After several attacks on the city, he was already very confident in defending. He swears and patted his chest, saying that no matter how many people Yuan Tao came, he would call him back and forth.

The second type is represented by Hou Dagui, Hao Yaoqi and Bai Jiaolong, who advocated taking the initiative. The attack they meant that when Yuan Tao's three routes had not yet gathered, they should take the initiative and concentrate their elite forces to break the army. Among them, Bai Jiaolong had a deep friendship with Hu Jiusi and others. According to what he said, Hu Jiusi and Liang Shizheng were dissatisfied with Yuan Tao's "reverse actions". Although he was called this time, he might not be sincere. Just write a letter and stabilize it, it is not enough to worry about it. Wang Gao, the troops in the south, such as Chuangshiwang, and others were low in combat power and launched a surprise attack, and they would definitely win. By then, the only opponents they faced would be Yuan Tao himself.

Hou Dagui first asked for a fight and was willing to be the vanguard. Xu Hui believed that Hou Dagui was trying to seize credit, so Hou Dagui ridiculed Xu Hui as a turtle. The two sides fought verbally for a while, and there was no dispute.

In fact, in Zhao Dangshi's heart, he was still inclined to the proposal of Hou Dagui's side. The soldiers were very fast. Before Yuan Tao's main force had attacked, he was absolutely sure to first destroy the neighboring southern enemies. Hu Jiusi and other troops were entrenched in the Nanjiang River. The journey was long and they could not arrive for a while. Zhao Dangshi was not afraid of only facing the main force of Yuan Tao, who was only ten thousand people.

The purpose of making a flip against Yuan Tao is to use this battle to establish prestige among the bandits in Sichuan. With Xu Hui's opinion, sticking to it will naturally not lose, but winning in that way is difficult to satisfy Zhao Dangshi's original intention. If you want to completely defeat Yuan Tao, you can only take the initiative to attack and completely annihilate him.

However, a realistic problem has to worry about - the constraints of the government army.

Zhao Dangshi believed that Luo Shangwen, Chen Guofu and others were not blind. In fact, in just a few days, Yang Cheng's mansion had captured and bound more than ten official spies who spyed in the Dahuoshan area. Once his thousands of people were mobilized, it would be impossible to hide the situation. The official army would 100% get a bargain in the Dahuocheng City. According to the combat power they showed before, the idea of ​​leaving some people to defend the city was unrealistic. Therefore, either the main force stayed at Dahuoshan or went out with all his bets, and the official army did not dare to come.

I have bet many times before, but this time, he dared not place a bet because the winning rate is too slim.

Is there any way to temporarily stabilize the official army? Zhao Dangshi thought hard. He didn't want much. At most, he would be sure to defeat Wang Gao from the south and then calmly deal with Yuan Tao.

Finally, he remembered a person, and using that person should be able to delay for a while.

When Zhao Dangshi expressed his thoughts, among the people present, Hou Dagui and others looked happy, while Xu Hui and others were filled with sorrow.

"It's dangerous, too dangerous..." Xu Hui shook his head as he said. He was not a timid person. In terms of courage, Hao Yaoqi was no less than Hou Dagui. However, he was a conservative person, or could be said to be cautious. This was purely a manifestation of his personality. He died if he died, but when he thought that he was not a cumin now, but was standing at the forefront of the Zhaoying and even Bai, Liu Erying, which had a total of more than 5,000 people.

"I thought about it carefully. Luo Shangwen alone would never dare to snatch our city. Luo Wenyuan's troops were still in Jianzhou. If they were to prepare for the preparation, they would have to spend a day. If these two people knew about it, they would not ignore the conditions I had put out. Most of them would go to Guang'an to find out the truth and truth. Even if they were quick to whip, they would have to waste time in the city. Only these three days were the key to our army's victory." Zhao Dangshi said seriously.

"If you miss a single blow, what can you do?" The person who was most worried about Zhao Dangshi's plan was not Xu Hui, but Yang Cheng's mansion. He always walked on thin ice in his work, striving to be steady, and most afraid of being in a place of life and death, so he is extremely worried nowadays.

"Yuan Tao came from afar and could arrive in two days at the earliest. Our army attacked the enemy in the south with thunder, and it would definitely be defeated. If it fails, it will not be too late to return to defend the city." Bai Jiaolong answered for Zhao Dangshi. He was traversing the north of the river for more than a year and was very accurate in grasping the speed of the march between all parties.

Yang Chengfu ignored him and turned to Zhao Dangshi, saying almost in a pleading tone: "Mr. Qian, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time."

As he said, it is very risky to take the initiative. The first risk is whether the official army on the side of the bed will come to grab the Dasheng City at all costs; the second risk is whether the enemy in the south can be achieved overnight. If the main force is trapped there due to failure, the situation will definitely take a sharp turn.

Can you win with a firm victory if you defend the mountain city to the death? Zhao Dangshi thought it was not necessarily true. Not to mention that the official army would launch a large-scale counterattack after the respite, they would only look at the stick thieves. As long as Yuan Tao and Wang Gao from the south arrived at Dahuo City, facing the autistic Zhao camp, Hu Jiusi, who was watching from the north, had no reason to delay it. After being summoned repeatedly, he could only lead his troops to continue to move south. By then, the stick thieves had to attack Dahuo Northeast Shandong with several times the advantage of military strength, and the official army was entrenched in the southwest, and Zhao camp became a turtle in the jar.

Although persistence can take advantage of the moment, it will be a dead end in the long run. But water is dead and fish is alive. Relying on initiative, it may not be impossible to spread the dead water alive.

"I have decided." Zhao Dangshi was silent for a long time, and buzzing comments came from the hall where the matter was discussed. At this moment, he suddenly stood up in a solemn face, "Let's go out and fuck him. If you have any objections, there will be such a case!" After speaking, he suddenly pulled out the treasure knife on his waist that He Jin had given him, and "brushed" and cut off a corner of the table in front of him.

His actions were learned from Sun Quan at the end of the Han Dynasty. Most of the generals here had heard the story of telling three points, and they also knew about Sun Quan's decision to join Liu Anti-Cao before the Battle of Red Cliff. Seeing that Zhao Dangshi's expression was resolute and unshakable, those who disagree with Xu Hui and Yang Chengfu could only keep silent.

"It's worthy of being a family style!" Hou Dagui was overjoyed and rubbed his hands excitedly. One of the big reasons why he admired Zhao Dangshi was that this man was brave and arbitrary and never indecisive. He left a big scar on his neck. Instead of trembling and trembling as a woman, it would be better to rush out and do something vigorously. He was willing to sacrifice himself to pull the emperor off. He served many lords, and there were many people who were resourceful and good at fighting, but none of them had the same courage as Zhao Dangshi.

Zhao Dangshi held his head up, his chest was full of energy, and his face was confident. Xu Hui looked at him secretly, wondering. Has this man never been afraid? This situation seemed familiar. When he decided to stay in the eighth team to help Li Zicheng beat Cao Wenzhao, it was like this. Why do he always see him in times of crisis? He said that he was determined to do his own thing, but the facts proved that his choice was correct. Could this be the legendary...

When Xu Hui thought of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore. Before this, he thought that Zhao Dangshi could only make a big hand plate in Sichuan at most. It was not easy to be able to dominate a province by the sky. But now, another strange idea has begun to sprout in his heart.

He was meticulous and would never tell others, but at this moment, he secretly looked at Zhao Dangshi, and there was a little more awe and expectation in his eyes.

The dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and thunder sounded from time to time in the sky. It immediately became dark outside. Luo Shangwen put down the book in his hand, called for the lights on his left and right, and walked outside the tent. He hung his hand in the air, feeling the cool rain. Someone came to report to Luo's guerrilla invitation.

The Qipan Guerrilla Luo Wenyuan arrived yesterday evening. Speaking of which, this man was still a distant relative. However, after he arrived, he was very proud. He neither came to visit or disclosed his plans. He just kept sending people to urge him to free up a good area near the Jialing River for his subordinates to station.

Luo Shangwen had read some books, but after all, he was a warrior. Seeing that the other party didn't take him seriously, he ignored him. He was still in a stalemate, but Luo Wenyuan suffered a later loss and led his own people to find another camp. Because of this, the two main generals named friendly troops have never met each other until now.

He took the initiative to invite him at this time, was he convinced?

After all, the overall situation is the most important thing. The conflict with Luo Wenyuan, a domineering man, can be calculated slowly in the future, but Liangzi, who had formed a relationship with Zhao Dangshi, cannot be explained lightly. Luo Shangwen briefly arranged the military affairs in the camp, and then rode a horse and took three or five followers to Luo Wenyuan camp.

When he met, he saw that there was a person standing in the tent, short and bloated, and an old woman. Seeing that the army generals gathered around him, the woman was very frightened, and even her two legs, like a hammer, began to tremble.

"Wu, let me tell you what you said before." Luo Wenyuan sat above his head arrogantly and said loudly.

The old woman nodded like a hen pecking at rice, turned to Luo Shangwen, who looked confused, and bowed timidly, and said again.

Luo Shangwen was shocked after hearing this and asked: "What you said is true? There is no joke in the army, and Ren Er's wife is no exception."

The woman heard this and knelt down on the ground, crying in an instant, and screaming in a roaring voice: "How dare I spend all the soldiers? But my wife is trapped in a thief cave, and life is worse than death. Please help me save the two men in the face of my men. Madam, a weak woman, among the monsters and monsters..." As she said that, she cried even more miserably.

Luo Wenyuan stood up, walked to Luo Shangwen in two steps, and handed him a letter: "This is written by Zhao Zhe, please take a look."

Luo Shangwen took the letter and frowned and looked at it. Seeing that there were nothing more than words of blackmailing money, he returned it. At the same time, he pulled Luo Wenyuan to one side and whispered: "This money is still a trivial matter, but if the woman said it was true and there were such constraints, how could we attack the Dahuoshan?" After thinking about it, he continued, "That Ma Qian is a famous hard bone and has a lot of connections in the officialdom. If he offended him, it would be of no benefit to both of us."

Luo Wenyuan looked up at him and said slowly: "I am also worried about this matter, so I specially asked the adults to come and discuss countermeasures."
