On the evening of the same day, Liu Qi heard that Princess Xiping Li Bixiao came to Yuluzhou. Li Gong was actually unwilling to tell others, but Li Bixiao brought many maids and guards. Li Bixiao lived in the big tent of Hebei Camp and could not attract the attention of others. In order to prevent being speculated that his golden house had a charming affecting morale, he could only tell the truth to all the generals.

Most of the people didn't want her to stay near Yuluzhou City. The big cannibal was about to be called, which was really dangerous. If Princess Xiping was captured by the big cannibal, she would lose all the face of the Tang Dynasty.

But when they heard Li Gong tell the reason why Li Bixiao came to Yuluzhou, they could not object. After all, the princess is a princess and has a noble status. She can't persuade the princess to be patient, that's not what the minister should do.

"Don't worry, I have repeatedly told her that she will not leave Hebei Camp and will not cause trouble." Li Gong said hurriedly after saying the reason why Li Bixiao came to Yuluzhou.

"The subordinates know." Everyone said immediately.

After talking about this, everyone talked about their preparations for defending Luzhou City.

"I have reported to the Protector, all the people in the city have moved out of the city this morning and will be temporarily placed in Daying, Hebei, and will be sent to other cities from tomorrow."

"The food supplied to the people has been prepared and will be distributed to the people regularly every day." Zhang Cheng stood up to report.

"I have reported to the Protector, the houses in Daying, Hebei Province have been built, and all the civilians have moved into the house." Another person reported.

"The tunnels in the city have not been fully connected yet. If the people continue to build during the siege of the Great Cannibal, they will be connected together around March next year." Others reported in turn.

After listening to everyone's report, Li Gong said: "It seems that in this way, in addition to authenticity, you are almost ready to deal with the Great Cannibal siege? First, you have to rely on the city wall to defend it. You cannot use the authenticity for the time being. In other words, even if the Great Cannibal siege is surrounding the Luzhou City now, you don't have to worry?"

"Yes, the Protector." Liu Qi agreed.

"Okay!" Li Gong smiled and said, "Then wait for the big cannibals to come over and fight with them."

"Subordinates/secretaries will definitely live up to the entrusted entrusted by the lords." All the generals stood up and said.

...

...

"Report to the Governor, the entire army will arrive at the Luzhou City in three days." Just as Li Gong smiled and said, "waiting for the Great Cannibal to come," in the luxurious tent that was first tied up in the Great Cannibal Army camp, the scout bent down and said to the Governor Abu Bingbo Silin, who was sitting high on the top and the generals present.

"I will arrive in Luzhou City in three days!"

"Great! The march in the snow and ice is finally coming to an end. I'm so fed up with this bad weather!"

"The weather is really bad. The temperature here is lower than the mountains on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, and the snow is even stronger. Many soldiers are not used to such cold weather. After arriving at Yuluzhou City, they can install a formal camp for the soldiers to rest well."

"Don't be too happy too early. The soldiers have no experience in fighting in such cold weather. After resting, it is unlikely that they will capture Luzhou City in winter. This battle is destined to be delayed until next spring. Every extra day, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of Qinna's country will be stronger, and this battle is getting harder and harder to fight."

"Even if it is delayed until next spring, that man Qin will be irresistible!"

"You are so idealistic,..."

"Shut up!" I felt that the generals' discussion was about to slide into the quarrel, and Bosilin immediately stopped their discussion.

"Yes." Everyone agreed immediately and stopped talking.

"You go back. Remember to drink an extra bowl of hot soup to make your body warmer." After stopping the general from speaking, Z said to the scout who came in to report.

"Thank you for your relationship with the Governor." The scout agreed, bent down and saluted, then slowly retreated to the curtain of the tent, turned around and walked out.

"What's the point of the words you just quarreled!" After the scout left, z immediately began to scold the general.

"Our army is about to arrive in Yuluzhou City. No matter whether the combat effectiveness of the Qin man will become stronger and stronger, how much price we will pay to defeat the Qin man, we have no way out and can only fight with the Qin man!"

"So you discuss whether the Qin army's combat effectiveness will become stronger and stronger, and whether the war will be delayed until next spring, what's the use! It's just a waste of time and saliva!"

"I know my mistake." Everyone said repeatedly.

"Since you know the mistake, you have to correct it, not knowing it and not correcting it." Z said this and asked them again: "What do you think should you discuss now?"

When he heard Z's question, no general answered. Many of the generals present felt that it was meaningless to discuss whether Qin's army would become stronger and stronger, but it was meaningful to discuss whether the war would be delayed until next spring; but the Governor even felt that it was meaningless, and everyone didn't know what to discuss for a while.

"Governor," in the end, the first person to answer the question was still Ziad bin Saleh. He stepped forward and saluted Z and said, "Now we should discuss how to deal with the Hebei camp established by the Qin people."

"Yes, this question is worth discussing." Z asked with a smile: "Do you think it should be?"

"Governor, I don't think it should be." Saleh said: "The weather is too cold now. From the description of the scout, it can be concluded that the Qin people's camp was built very strongly. Although it would be easier than siege, if it was forced to attack, the casualties would be great, and the loss would be not worth the cost. Therefore, the camp should not be attacked."

"Governor, I think that not only should the Qin people's camp in Hebei should not be attacked, but the troops that are now marching on the north bank of the Yili River should be transferred to the south bank when they approach the city of Yuluzhou five miles." After Saleh finished speaking, Sayed Ben Houmede added.

"Why?" z said.

"Although the river is frozen now, the troops marching on both sides of the river can be more convenient to communicate, but after the river water thaws in the spring next year, the troops on both sides will be isolated, which is equivalent to dividing troops in two places. The number of soldiers who can be used to attack the city will be reduced, and the soldiers on the north bank are more susceptible to the harassment of the Qin cavalry."

"But if the army is not left on the north bank of the Hebei River, the actions of the soldiers in the Hebei camp will be completely unrestricted." Another general couldn't help but retorted.

"What's the use of restricting the Qin army's actions in Hebei?" Hou Meide looked at the general: "The purpose of our army's attack on Luzhou City is to annihilate Qin soldiers in large quantities, to seize this fertile land, and to obtain a safe passage to attack Kucha and other places."

"As long as you capture Yuluzhou City, you can achieve the first and third goals. The only thing that cannot be fully achieved is the second goal. But as long as the first goal can be achieved, isn't the second goal easy to achieve in the future?" Hou Meide asked back.

"This." The general was asked. The geographical location of Yuluzhou City is very important. As long as you can occupy this place, you will gain a stable rear of attacking Kucha and other places. Because the geographical location is very important, the Qin people will definitely send heavy troops to defend, and capturing this city will definitely annihilate Qin's soldiers; at the same time, they can also occupy at least half of Yuluzhou. What Houmeide said is indeed correct.

"If the Qin people's soldiers in the Hebei camp were not restricted, then they could cross the river to support the city guarding army." Another said again.

"You should have admitted that you cannot seize the Luzhou City in winter, right?" Hou Meide asked first, and saw the other party nodding, and continued: "The Qin man should also think so. In this case, they will not send troops from the Hebei camp to support him in winter."

"When the river water begins next spring, the river will thaw. Our army will station troops by the river or build river embankments, which will prevent Qin's army from crossing the river to support. Don't worry about this."

Some people questioned Saleh or Houmede's speeches from other angles, and they rejected them one by one. After a while, no one in the tent finally doubted them.

"Is there anyone else to talk?" z asked.

Seeing that no one answered, he turned his head to Saleh and Houmede and said, "You are right. Not only is the conclusion correct, but the argumentation process is also correct."

"Thank you for the praise of the Governor." The two immediately bent down and saluted.

"I'm not praising you." Z said with a smile: "You are really right."

"Especially you, Said," he said to Houmede, "I remember that when you wiped out the rebels of Salama in the Mesopotamian River Basin, you didn't think about the problem like this. This year, oh, it has come a new year without following our calendar. In less than two years, you have become so smart and can think so closely, very well done."

"Thank you for the praise of the Governor. I will continue to work hard in the future." Houmeide said again.

"You all must learn from Ziad, not just be satisfied with being a brave general, but also becoming a wise general." Z said to everyone again.

"Yes." The generals agreed immediately, and there was no intention of being dissatisfied in their tone. They all knew what Houmeide was like in the past, but now he has become like this. Whether he likes it or not, he is convinced by him.

Z said a few more words and ordered the clerk to take the conclusion that Saleh and Houmede had just reached - not to attack the Hebei camp, and before arriving at the city of Yuluzhou, the soldiers walking on the north bank were also taken to the south bank - and write down the letter, and write a formal order to notify the entire army after a while.

Then, z asked the second question: If it weren't for the tentative attack on Luzhou City.

Everyone was much more enthusiastic about this issue. The Governor gave the question of choosing one of two without any effort; and no matter how you choose, everyone has reasons to speak out and immediately argued.

Many people think that they should attack Luzhou City. To put it in a smaller way, what if the Qin man is not ready to defend the city, wouldn’t they be able to seize this very important city in winter? To put it in a larger way, this will allow soldiers to accumulate experience in winter combat and will be of great significance to combat in cold areas in the future.

Of course, some people think that they should not attack the city of Luzhou. The reason is that they are worried that the soldiers will suffer too much, which will not only increase logistical pressure, but also reduce the number of soldiers who can mobilize the city in spring, but also fear that the soldiers will have the idea of ​​fear of attacking the Qinren City.

They have attacked three larger cities at present, among which the traitors opened the door in Suoye City, while Jieshan City has not been captured. If the attack on Yuluzhou City is further frustrated, the soldiers may think that Qin's city is indestructible and unwilling to attack.

Houmede and Saleh also had disagreements. Saleh opposed winter siege and believed that accumulating winter combat experience was not very meaningful; Houmede supported it, saying that winter combat experience was useful.

While the generals were arguing, Z just listened on the side without interrupting. This was his military democracy, and he brainstormed before the war, so that all generals who reached a certain level would gather together to discuss how to fight the battle.

This kind of discussion is very beneficial. Z also often has times when she is incomplete and needs someone to help him make up for unexpected things. The so-called three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang (of course Z has never heard of this sentence), which is what it means.

Of course, democracy will have a concentration in the end. After listening to the opinions of all the generals, it is still z who will give orders in the end, and no one can disobey.

After listening for a while, he felt that no one would say any new ideas, and when the argument was developing towards quarrel, he coughed gently. Everyone stopped talking immediately, looked at the Governor, and waited for his final decision.

"I decided to send troops to attack the city of Luzhou after surrounding the city and eased the frostbite," said z.

"Governor!" Saleh shouted. He wanted to finally struggle.

"Ziad," said z: "You are right, it doesn't make much sense to accumulate winter combat experience."

"After the battle of Jieshan City, I already knew that Qin was not easy to deal with, and it would not be successful to attack Qin's core territory to the east; I also had no idea of ​​seizing the Tubo people's land."

"Then why did the governor attack the Luzhou City?" Saleh asked.

"In order to consume the energy of the Qin soldiers." z said: "Our army attacks the city from time to time, and the Qin generals must station enough troops on the top of the city, and these soldiers cannot completely relax. This will consume the energy of the Qin soldiers and even affect their training for the new recruits. This is something that is difficult to do with the catapult cart."

"And," he said with a smile: "If Qin was not prepared to defend the city as some generals guessed? Wouldn't our army get a huge advantage? Although this may be very low, it cannot be completely ignored; it will not cause much loss anyway."

"I understand, Governor," Saleh said.

"Do you really understand?" Z asked. He did not pursue all generals to support his decision, but Saleh was the one who knew the best of all his subordinates to fight. He usually tried to convince this person.

"I really understand. I have no objection to the governor's decision now." Saleh said hurriedly.

"Okay." Z nodded.

Afterwards, he discussed several things with the generals and made decisions one by one after another.

It was late at night soon. Z took a look at the time and said with a smile: "It's already so late. Let's discuss other things tomorrow. I'll go to bed now."

After a pause, he said again: "Generals, although the combat effectiveness of the general Qin man was estimated to be high in our discussion just now, don't have the idea of ​​being afraid. The actual combat effectiveness of the Qin man is definitely not as good as that of Dashi, and our army will definitely defeat the Qin man!"

"Yes!" everyone agreed loudly.
Chapter completed!
