Liu Qi said: "The Protector, the lower officials always feel that defending the city like this will not fully play the role of 30,000 captured people."

"Defending the city like this will not fully play the role of 30,000 captured people?" Li Gong repeated it and asked again: "In your opinion, how should we play the role of 30,000 captured people? What is the use of?"

"The officials are not good, either." Liu Qi said: "But these 30,000 people hate the great cannibals. The morale of fighting with the great cannibals is extremely high, and they will never retreat when the war is fought. Just letting them defend the city is not the best way to use their methods."

"That's true. But if you send them out of the city to fight, you will not be able to kill and hurt many cannibals due to insufficient training and morale."

"Think about it carefully, the best way is to send them to ambush in rugged lands. The big cannibals cannot form a formation, either one or two, or three or five people fighting. These 30,000 people have the energy of blood and courage to gain the upper hand."

"But there are not many such places. Although the terrain of Bodaling and Dunduo City is steep, the mountain roads are surrounded by high mountains and steep mountains and difficult to ambush. The terrain of the Yili Valley is flat, and although there are hills at the entrance, it is okay to ambush it, but you have to guard the city and change it to guard the entrance of the valley." Li Gong said.

After talking with Liu Qi and other generals, he also believed that the remaining land of the cannibal attack on Anxi was Bodaling - Kucha and Kucha - Kucha, so he only talked about the terrain of these two roads.

"In fact, it's not impossible to abandon the city and guard the valley entrance." Liu Qi murmured softly. Perhaps because he has memories of later generations, he doesn't feel that he must fight with the city as the core.

However, on the way to Kucha Town to Yuluzhou, Liu Qi talked about this issue with Li Gong, but Li Gong disagreed and thought that the city was the most important, so how could he not defend the city? He could not accept Liu Qi's opinion, and he could do nothing.

‘Maybe a small hill can be built near Yuluzhou to help defend the city.’ Liu Qi thought, and was about to say this. But before he spoke, he suddenly thought about it again, and quickly stopped talking and began to think seriously.

"What did you think of again?" Li Gong asked when he saw him in this way.

"This," Liu Qi felt his mind was very confused and did not answer Li Gong's question for the time being. Li Gong was not in a hurry to see this, and sat down and waited for him to clarify his thoughts.

Liu Qi stood there and thought for a while. ‘Building hills outside the city is a war model in later generations. How do 30,000 soldiers who are extremely arrogant and never retreat when facing the great food genius, combine these three points together, and how do they combine these three points together... Ah, I thought of it!’

"I thought of it!" Liu Qi not only screamed in his mind, but also in reality.

"What did you think of?" Li Gong was startled by his scream and stood up and asked.

Liu Qi hurriedly attached himself to Li Gong's ear and said a few words softly. The more Li Gong heard it, the more surprised he felt. After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask: "You, you, you, are so risky! No one has ever fought like this for thousands of years!"

"Although I was risky, the officials repeatedly thought about it and believed that this was the best way to use soldiers who would never retreat when facing the great food people. Moreover, no one has fought like this for thousands of years, which means that the great food people would not expect that we would fight like this and would be unexpected." Liu Qi said.

"If it doesn't work, I still don't think it's possible." Li Gong thought about it repeatedly, but was still unwilling to accept Liu Qi's suggestion. This strategy is too risky. If it fails, it is equivalent to giving Luzhou to the cannibal for free.

"And what you mean is that you think that the great cannibals will definitely attack Yuluzhou with elite troops, so you must do your best to defend Yuluzhou, rather than sending soldiers to Dunduo City and Bodaling. Your premise may be wrong, so the method you came up with is also wrong." Li Gong said again.

"In this way, if the Great Cannibal really attacks Yuluzhou, the Protector will be willing to adopt the strategy of the subordinates?" Liu Qi asked back.

"This," Li Gong thought about it, thinking that they had discussed it repeatedly before leaving Kucha Town, but they could not determine the main attack direction of the Great Cannibal; at the meeting, Liu Qi's statement that the Great Cannibal would attack Huluzhou could not convince others, and finally nodded: "If you guessed it correctly, adopt your strategy to defend Huluzhou City."

"Okay! One word is determined."

"I will not regret it."

"Since that's the case, can the people in the city be ordered to dig tunnels under their own houses? Digging tunnels cannot be completed within a few days, and they must prepare early." Liu Qi said again.

"Okay." Li Gong agreed to his request.

...

...

At the same time, Sailye City.

"Sorry, I'm late." Said bin Houmede appeared at the gate of the government conference room and said while wearing rough clothes.

"Come in and sit down." Bingbo Silin didn't blame him, but said, "You arrived in Suye City last night and will have a meeting this morning. It's nothing if you slept."

"Actually, I shouldn't have held a meeting the next day after the people arrived. However, because the materials and personnel were ready for the next battle against Qinna State, Qinna State received more than 30,000 young and middle-aged men who were extremely hostile to us. Every day their strength would increase one point, so they held a meeting in advance to determine the direction of the attack."

"Governor, you are doing this right." Aziz said immediately: "I have given Qin a lot of time, and I can't give them more preparation time."

"Since everyone has no objection, let's have a meeting now." Bingbo Silin smiled at Aziz, but did not respond, but officially started the meeting.

"Today there is only one issue, which route is the main attack. I won't talk about which two routes. Although we can mobilize 50,000 combat soldiers, 50,000 auxiliary soldiers, and nearly 100,000 civilians, the Qin man can mobilize more young and middle-aged men. We do not have enough troops to launch fierce attacks on both routes at the same time. Today we must determine which route is the main attack."

After Bingbo Silin finished speaking, the generals immediately started to discuss. Some people thought that they should focus on Bodaling, while others thought that they should focus on Luzhou, and the debate was very fierce.

"The terrain of Bodaling and Dundo City is very dangerous. I have carefully asked the merchants who have walked this road. They all said it is difficult to capture, so they should focus on Luzhou."

"You are wrong. Bodaling and Dunduo City are not easy to fight, and Kuruzhou is easy to fight? Kuruzhou is in the Yili Valley. There are hills at the entrance of the valley. Qin can rely on hills to defend; after capturing the hills, there are cities to seize. Kuruzhou City is also very strong, and there are many residents in the city. There are many guards who can mobilize, which may not be easier to fight than Bodaling and Dunduo City."

"Bodalling is completely blocked on the mountain road. If Boodalling is not captured, there is no way to attack the city in the southeast of Tianshan Mountain; while Birthun City is just a city, and it can be surrounded but not attacked, and instead attacked Kucha and other places in the south."

"Just! As you said, wouldn't it be a different soldier? What's the difference between launching fierce attacks in both directions at the beginning?"

Some people also consider supply. "The economy of Luzhou is developed, and attacking Luzhou can obtain local supplies; while Bodaling is located in a steep mountain ridge, and even a few small mountain villages are far from providing the supply needed by the army. In order to reduce the logistical pressure, we should still focus on attacking Luzhou."

"The Luzhou is indeed rich, but will that person in Qin leave the supplies to us? They will definitely keep the walls and clear the fields. On the contrary, because Bodaling is located in the mountains, it is not only difficult to make the walls and clear the fields, but the soldiers can also pick fruits from the mountains to satisfy their hunger. There are no large fruit forests near the Luzhou. From this point of view, the Luzhou does not have an advantage."

"..." Everyone was very fiercely arguing.

I don’t know how long I had been talking, but many people felt uncomfortable because they said too much, and they reduced their speeches and kept drinking water. The voice in the conference room suddenly became much lower. At this time, Saleh suddenly stood up and said to Gable Silin: “Governor, I want to express my opinion.”

"Say." Bingbo Silin said, and everyone also silenced.

"There is one thing I want to tell you first, that is: the war with Qin will not be a war that can end in a short period of time. We must prepare for long-term combat."

"Wake up!" He suddenly said loudly: "No matter whether it is Bodaling or Yuluzhou, it cannot be captured in a short period of time. At least don't expect to be captured in one or two months."

"And now it is the early October calendar of the Qin people. If there is another month, at most two months, it will snow. The difficulty of siegeing the city will increase greatly after the snow. Even if it does not snow this year, winter is not a suitable season for siege. Whether you choose to attack Bodaling or Yuluzhou, it will be difficult to capture before next spring."

"And since you want to spend the winter in the wild in these two places, there is no doubt that the Luzhou located in the valley is much more suitable than the Bodaling in the mountains."

"Besides, if an accident occurs and the city of Luzhou cannot be captured next spring, then the accompanying people can also allow the villagers to farm outside the city, supply food on the spot in the summer, and reduce the logistics burden. This is impossible in Bodaling."

"There is a third point," Saleh continued: "That is, the things you get after seizing the Luzhou are much more than what you get after seizing the Boda Ridge."

"Yuluzhou has a large population and fertile land. If you capture this place, you can get 200,000 to 300,000 people immediately. It can completely solve the logistics problems and weaken the strength of the Qin man; but after capturing Bodaling, the logistics supply to attack other cities still needs to be transported from Suye City, which has a very small impact on the strength of the Qin man."

"So, Governor, everyone, we must attack Luzhou." He said at last.
Chapter completed!
