Guancheng County Government.

Yang Tong knelt down and sat in chief, followed by the four generals Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan and Niu Jinda.

"I decided to evacuate Guancheng!"

"Why?" Luo Shixin, who had fought to the death to guard the city gate, couldn't bear it for the first time and almost jumped up.

"Because we can't hold on."

"Although Guancheng is not a fortified city, it is tall and thick, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack! Now that our army's morale is strong, we can somewhat consume some of the bandit troops." Qin Qiong did not object directly, but his attitude was already revealed!

What he means is to keep it!

"We can hold it, but we can't afford it!" Yang Tong's cold gaze was like a sharp blade, scanning the faces of the four generals one by one, and slowly explained: "If I were Zhai Rang, if I couldn't defeat Guancheng, I would

No more fighting! Just surround Guancheng and harass them day and night, making the defenders restless in food and accommodation and restless."

"The only troops the imperial court can fight in Henan Province are more than 40,000 people in our hands! Once we are trapped here, Zhai Rang can divide his troops to conquer Kangcheng, Xinzheng, Yangcheng, kill Luokoucang, and capture the eastern capital

!By then, even if Wagang doesn’t attack us, we will die of exhaustion and starvation.”

Luo Shixin sighed: "It would be easier if there were more troops."

"The Xiaoguo Army is the most elite warrior in the Sui Dynasty, capable of both offense and defense, but it is a cavalry, and its greatest role is to fight mobile warfare in the wild. Once trapped in Guancheng, it is equivalent to a tiger in a cage. Therefore, the tiger must come out!"

Yang Tong's analysis was completely reasonable, leaving the four generals speechless to refute.

Qin Qiong muttered: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. Defending the city is indeed an unwise move to trap yourself! But have you ever thought about it? We just won a victory and finally raised our morale. In the blink of an eye, we abandoned the city and fled.

This would be a terrible blow to the entire army, and would even lead to a mass exodus from the Eastern Capital! The Eastern Capital would be in chaos, and the world would be shaken."

"Morale is important, but the army is more important!" Yang Tong said slowly: "As long as the army is there, the city can be regained if it is lost. If the army is gone, it will be all over! We cannot care about the gains and losses of one city or one place! Besides,

Even if panic breaks out in Dongdu, that will happen in the future. If we fight a bigger victory, it will be different."

"A bigger victory?" The four generals looked at each other in astonishment.

"Where does the victory come from?"

"Fire is burning Guancheng!" At this moment, Yang Tong's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife.

Qin Qiong was stunned for a moment, then said in deep thought: "The method is good, but will Zhai Rang be fooled?"

"Do you know Zhai Rang?" Yang Tong asked back.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Qiong said: "Zhai Rang was a highly skilled martial artist, courageous and heroic. He served as the Dharma Cao of the East County in his early years. However, he was particularly fond of gambling and his gambling products were not good. Once he lost his mind and killed more than 30 gamblers.

He was a disciple, so he was going to be executed. Huang Junhan, the prison warden, was his friend and secretly released him, so he fled to Wagang and became a bandit. Under his painstaking management, Wagang grew stronger step by step and became a vaguely popular bandit among all kinds of thieves in the Central Plains.

Military leader."

"How resourceful and ambitious is this person?"

"He was very ambitious before, but after living a good life, Zhai let Xiaofu live in peace. For so many years, he actually didn't even dare to attack a county town. If it weren't for the help of his friends Huang Junhan, Shan Xiongxin, and Xu Shiji, he would

There is no way we can create such a huge situation."

Yang Tong nodded. This is actually a common problem among all rebel leaders. If things had not come to an end, they would not have had the courage to rebel. But once they lived a prosperous life, they began to enjoy life and would no longer be enterprising.

Ambition, in their minds, the imperial court is always an indestructible behemoth, and they do not have the courage to directly challenge the imperial court and dare to be the first in the world.

"How is his relationship with Zhai Hong? After receiving the news that Zhai Hong and his son were killed in battle, do you think he will come?" Yang Tong asked again.

"Zhai Rang was brought up by Zhai Hong and has a very good relationship. He will definitely come."

Hearing this, Yang Tong laughed and said: "According to the news I heard from the prisoners, Huang Junhan was stationed in Wagang, Xu Shiji and Li Mi besieged Hulao Pass together, and Shan Xiongxin was half dead, so there was no one around him.

A wise man. When Wagang arrived at Xingyang, Zhai Rang came to Guancheng from Xingyang. The exhausted army was already trapped with both men and horses! If the city gate is wide open and there are no soldiers around, he who likes to enjoy has no reason not to enter the city to rest, but in the ice and snow

Sleep inside.”

Looking at Yang Tong with a relaxed expression, Qin Qiong said curiously: "Your Highness, it seems that there is something left to say."

"I'm very confused now about how to let Zhai Rang survive!" Yang Tong said.

The four generals were immediately surprised.

"Zhai Rang is a small rich man who has no ambitions. He is not a qualified leader and lacks due concern and responsibility. This kind of person cannot achieve great things and is not scary. But Li Mi, the second leader of Wagang Village, is different. He is completely different.

."

"Li Mi came from an aristocratic family, with both wisdom and bravery, and a thoughtful mind. He served as Yang Xuangan's military advisor, enforced military discipline, trained elite soldiers, and was an official in charge of the people. He also knew how to establish a political power and govern the world! Before Li Mi, Wagang was nothing more than a ragtag pile of sand.

, but with the joining of Li Mi, Wagang is slowly transforming into the direction of the feudal kings. Compared with the rebels, strict military discipline is more difficult to deal with. If Zhai Rang dies, Li Mi, the second leader, will be the number one in Wagang.

people,"

"If Li Mi is in power, various systems can be implemented with almost no obstacles. But we were unable to extinguish Wagang at the beginning of its transformation. We could only watch Wagang quench the impurities and transform into a sword with sharp edges.

.When our strength is about the same, this sword has taken shape. By then, a fierce and bloody battle will be inevitable. We are in the light, Wagang, who has been sharpened to the edge, is in the dark. We have made a mistake in the innate world, and the victory or defeat is real.

It’s unpredictable. But as long as Zhai Rang is alive, he will be the decision-maker of Wagang, and the Wagang army will be defeated in one battle. Therefore, having him alive will do us more good than harm!"

Yang Tong's words were written in pearls, which made the four generals marvel and sigh with emotion that the King of Yue had such a far-sighted mind.

"Zhai Rang doesn't say anything anymore. It's unreasonable. But Li Mi, a thief, killed his master and Mo Jingshi will kill him." Luo Shixin is Zhang Xutuo's disciple. Zhang Xutuo treats him like a son and is doubly affectionate. This hatred is inevitable.

Will let go.

Yang Tong said: "General Shixin, just don't worry. There will be endless troubles for Li Mi if he is alive. Kill him if you can."

Luo Shixin was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Yang Tong smiled and said: "Although Zhai Rang cannot be killed, we must take the opportunity to seize Xingyang City!"

"Xingyang City and the Yellow River are two lines that form a corner at Hulao Pass! As long as we recapture Xingyang, the Li Mi army surrounding Hulao Pass will be surrounded by us in the narrow corner..."

Yang Tong took out the map and began to assign tasks.

The explanation was very detailed and every link was mentioned. As soon as Qin Qiong heard it, she knew that Yang Tong had put in a lot of effort.

Yang Tong is not that kind of short-sighted person. It is gratifying to defeat Shan Xiongxin, but it is a lot of luck. If Shan Xiongxin and other generals did not take Yang Tong seriously and wanted to capture him alive, they would not have done it.

The latter one won easily.

His brother Zhai Hong and nephew Zhai Mohou were killed. Zhai Rang was eager to avenge his hatred, so he would definitely bring all the elite Wagang troops from Xingyang County. If the battle was to be fought head-on, it would be extremely brutal. Even if the Sui army won, they would still kill a thousand enemies.

A miserable victory at one's own expense.
