Chapter 813 Jump into the Trap
Everyone in the Great Zhou army was slowly approaching Luzhou.Knowing that Luzhou was besieged by thousands of Northern Han troops, he rushed to rescue immediately.It's just that after arriving in Luzhou, Chai Rong felt something was wrong.

Chai Rong said: "Li Yun, didn't you say that the army of the Northern Han Dynasty attacked Luzhou, and you were forced to abandon the city and escape? At this time, Luzhou was not captured. As the main general, you abandoned the city and fled. You were afraid of fighting with the enemy below. What should I do?"

Chai Rong saw that Zhou Jun's flag was still flying on the city wall, and the soldiers at the city gate were all wearing Zhou Jun's armored uniforms.The city wall of Luzhou has obviously been reinforced. From a distance, some people can still be seen stepping up to build a defensive offensive. This is clearly the appearance of defending the city.

"Where are the spies, the spies are here to report."

"Report~~"

"How many Northern Han troops are there?"

The spy said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, according to a rough estimate by the few of us, there are probably less than [-] Northern Han troops. These people have already set up camp. It seems that they have been unable to attack for a long time. Everyone is exhausted. The gates on the west and north sides of Luzhou City The damage is serious, it seems that the army of the Northern Han Dynasty has attacked the city more than once, and it is almost about to succeed, but it was finally defended."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Li Jin said: "Your Majesty, you have to trust me. On that day, I saw the Northern Han army attack fiercely. Our army suffered heavy losses. Luzhou City could not be defended at all. I had no choice but to abandon it." escaped from the city."

Chai Rong said angrily: "Nonsense, let's drag it down and watch it strictly. After this battle is won, we will punish."

"Your Majesty..." Fan Zhi said, "Please listen to my minister."

"Say." Chai Rong actually doesn't like Fan Zhi either, because Fan Zhi is Zong Xin's brother-in-law and a member of Lei Wang's residence.However, Fan Zhi was indeed useful, and he was very loyal to the first emperor. If it wasn't for this, he would really want to remove him from his official position.

Chai Rong also had no choice. It is really hard to find someone like Fan Zhi who is good at war, good at governing the country, and good at martial arts.Because of Fan Zhi's martial arts, it is definitely top-notch among civil servants, and even among military commanders, he is also a first-class talent.

Fan Zhi said: "Your Majesty, assume that Li Jin is telling the truth. Then...according to my speculation, this is Liu Chong's plan. If Liu Chong has already occupied Luzhou City, but hangs our Great Zhou army flag, as long as anyone sees I would also think that the current Luzhou City is just besieged and needs reinforcements. In fact, if we dare to attack the Han army, Liu Chong will rush out of the city and double-team the front and back. How will our army respond then?"

Fan Zhi is really smart, and he can tell there is something fishy at a glance.Li Ning was not that stupid and escaped from the city before it was broken.Although it is possible that Li Ning is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, it is still better to be cautious in situations like this.

Chai Rong really admired Fan Zhi's mind, if it wasn't for this, just because he was Zong Xin's brother-in-law could cut his official position.This situation is really troublesome. What should we do if the Northern Han army hides in Luzhou City?Siege directly?No way, if the city is attacked here, and the tens of thousands of Northern Han troops outside the city rush to double-team, then the people in the city will rush out, isn't the situation the same?

Otherwise, it would be a good way to surround Luzhou City.But there is still danger, is it encircled or divided?If the encirclement is divided, it must be broken one by one, and it is useless to close the encirclement.

Chai Rong nodded in relief, and then said: "Master Fan is similar to what I think, how should we deal with this situation?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I think it is the best policy to send troops directly to Weizhou regardless of Luzhou, and join the Song Clan first."

Chai Rong was upset when he saw Fan Zhi, but Fan Zhi's strategy was really powerful, and he could think of disregarding Luzhou's plan.What are you here for this time?Seeing that the army of the Northern Han Dynasty went away without paying attention... There are more than 3 soldiers here.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your Majesty, I think that as long as you don't get surrounded, it's okay to attack directly. We have more than 3 horses, and I will give you [-] soldiers to defeat the Han army outside the city. The remaining soldiers and horses will attack the city. Hold back the army in the city. After the minister wipes out all the troops outside the city, he will encircle Luzhou and send troops to reinforce it. This place is not Liu Chong's territory, as long as he is trapped here, Liu Chong will die."

"Not right, how can we go to war without knowing the depth of the enemy's situation? Now the enemy is in the dark, and I am in the open. Do you know how many troops the Northern Han Dynasty planted in Luzhou City? The enemy is waiting for work, and our army may not be able to withstand it. Although General Zhao is brave You are good at fighting, but you can't guarantee that there are no people like General Zhao in the city, maybe by the time you wipe out the troops outside the city, the formation of the army in the city will have been disrupted. It is a taboo for military strategists to attack the enemy from the front to the back, and if you can't catch up with the head and tail, you will be defeated."

Zhao Kuangyin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very upset. Although Fan Zhi was right, but in front of so many people, he made himself unable to get off the stage, so he really rushed up and beat him up.

"Which general still has a way to defeat the enemy, just tell me, I will definitely reward you heavily."

Murong Yanzhao said: "Your Majesty, I think Master Fan is right. We should not fight at this time. Luzhou has been lost, so it is better to join forces with the Song Clan first. Now our army is exhausted after driving for days, and the opponent may not be able to win if they wait for work." .”

Li Chongjin said: "Your Majesty... I think Zhang Yongde is smarter, so he must have a good idea."

Zhang Yongde pursed his lips and said: "Directly attack the army outside the city, and then the army mocked Liu Chong in the city. Your Majesty, this time, listen to my minister. If I dare to guarantee my head, as long as I fight like this, the Northern Han Dynasty will be defeated."

Everyone looked at Zhang Yongde in surprise, is he crazy?Or maybe he was too tired from the journey, so he got sick.This is also called a plan?Directly attack the army outside the city. When the time comes, the Northern Han army in the city will rush out and attack back and forth. At that time, let alone victory, it will be difficult to even survive.The Northern Han army in the city didn't dare to provoke them at all, and Zhang Yongde even said that he was going abroad to mock him... Zhang Yongde must have gone crazy because he didn't have a good rest these days.

"My son-in-law, you must have drunk too much." Although Chai Rong was embarrassed, he was his brother-in-law after all, so he had to show some face.It's not appropriate to say that he is crazy, so it's okay to drink too much.

"Your Majesty, I haven't had a drink today. But I will be able to drink the celebration wine soon. You must listen to me this time. Uncle, I am the son-in-law of the Great Zhou. I will never harm you." Zhang Yongde said: "Although I also I don't know what the situation is, but as long as we attack the army outside the city, we will definitely win, and it will be a great victory."

After Zhang Yongde said this, people who thought he was crazy suddenly felt that he was not crazy, and he was very shrewd.Because Zhang Yongde said that he himself didn't know what was going on, he just knew what to do.Obviously, someone Zhang Yongde trusted gave him this idea. Zhang Yongde had no doubts about this person, and was even willing to lose his life and the lives of the entire army.

Needless to say, everyone guessed who this person was.This method must have been given to him by Zong Xin, so Zhang Yongde knew it was a trap and still jumped into it.But what’s the point of doing this?Since the Northern Han Dynasty had devised such a trap, it must have a strategy for victory, otherwise it would be better to directly gather the army to face the Zhou army head-on.

This was an obvious trap. Liu Chong wanted to flank Zhou Jun back and forth, so he made this move.Although Liu Chong is not very smart, he has fought all his life and has a very high attainment in the art of war.Jumping directly into the trap, what kind of plan is this?
Would Zong Xin really come up with such a bad idea?Could it be that there are not many Han troops in the city, so they can win a big victory by rushing directly?

Many people shook their heads. There are nearly [-] troops outside the city, and there are at least [-] to [-] troops in the city. If they are flanked by front and back, this battle will be difficult to fight, and they may even be wiped out.What on earth is Master Zongxin thinking?Is it because my comprehension is not enough, or is Master Zong Xin's idea too profound?Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Zhang Yongde is crazy, and now there is only this explanation.

Chai Rong said: "My son-in-law, come here."

Zhang Yongde immediately came to Chai Rong on horseback, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"What kind of bad idea is this? It's obviously a trap, and you have to jump into it? Are you a fool when you think the Northern Han army?"

Zhang Yongde said: "I really don't know. Before Zong Xin left Bianliang, he gave me three kits. He said that I would open one when I thought it was dangerous. After opening, the first kit is like this." Written. Your Majesty, I have no skills, but at least my eyesight and cognition are not a problem. Everyone knows how powerful Zong Xin is. Zong Xin’s method has never failed, and every time we don’t know what’s going on. .”

Chai Rong really hated Zong Xin to death, but his methods were really powerful.It's just... this time it's too confusing.What did Zong Xin want to say?
Fan Zhi said: "Your Majesty, based on my understanding of Zong Xin, his method will definitely help us defeat the enemy. Although the reason is unknown, the method is still very simple, just rush forward and chop."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your Majesty, we'd better not use this method. Zong Xin is insidious and cunning, and I have been with him all year round, so I know Zong Xin's character too well. If Zong Xin's method works, everyone will praise it , if it doesn't work...all those who use this method will be silenced, so if it doesn't work, it won't spread. This is Zong Xin's usual method, he is not omnipotent, but no one knows his blemish."

"Don't talk nonsense, how can you see through Master Zongxin's use of troops? Do you have the ability to kill 5 people in one move?" Li Chongjin admired Zongxin very much. It is a layman.Although Zong Xin's method is incomprehensible to people, it is because it is too advanced.

The distance to Luzhou City was getting closer and closer, and countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Chai Rong.Chai Rong felt hatred in his heart, Zong Xin really couldn't understand this method, how could anyone jump into it knowing it was a trap?Even so, Chai Rong also knew that Zong Xin was powerful, his plan didn't need to be understood by others, it just needed to be implemented by others.
