Chapter 20 Offers
After saying a few simple words, Grandma Zhao stood up and said goodbye.
Xie Li has returned home, so there is no reason for them to continue staying there.
Although Xie Su and the other two had already had an engagement ceremony, they had not yet finished their marriage.
Xie Li stood up with his body. It is said that the rice wine has a relatively strong momentum, but because he was shocked by his recklessness just now, he drank a lot of water, and now he is not seriously injured.
It was too late, and although the two families were close, Xie Li still chose to send them to the door of the Su family.
Grandma Zhao was relieved along the way. Judging from Xie Li's behavior, she didn't mind her granddaughter's "unqualifiedness" at all, and she couldn't help but feel much more at ease.
The summer night passed very quickly.
Xie Li got up early and rested at home for a night. At this time, he was in high spirits.
After coming to the camp, Liu Qi, the military officer, changed a lot of attitude towards him, and his body was full of fat and seemed to be holding back a lot of energy.
Just kidding, yesterday he saw Xie Li sitting with the General of the Central Army and several lieutenants on the stage, drinking and drinking.
Now he dares not act like he is instructing casually.
"Xie Li, today's army cleans the battlefield, there is no need to count the materials for the time being. Let's take a break in the army today." Liu Qi finished speaking with a smile on his face, nodding his head and going out.
Xie Ligong bowed and watched Liu Qi leave. After watching him leave, he sat at the low table, looking at the booklet in front of him, and kept thinking.
In the battle yesterday, both armies suffered heavy casualties.
Of course, this is just a conclusion drawn from a vertical comparison among the various armies. If the two armies are compared horizontally, the Qin army will suffer more than ten times more casualties than the Jin army.
After all, Xiangyang's natural geographical location was too beneficial to the Jin army.
However, casualties are only one aspect, and the most important thing is the morale of the Qin army.
This time, the attack was almost full of elite strength. Seeing that the entire Xiangyang was at his fingertips, the hope was finally shattered.
With such a large psychological gap, it is believed that the Qin army would find it difficult to adjust for a while.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Qin army will probably not attack easily in the recent period."
Xie Li said to himself.
However, although the Qin army will not attack for the time being, the siege of the city will not change. Not to mention that it is difficult to support from the outside, it is even more difficult to break through from the inside.
Breakthrough doesn't work, so you can only escape.
The Han River turns south in the northeast corner of Xiangyang, and all land routes have been guarded by heavy troops. This water route should be the only passage that can be walked.
"Is the military officer Xie Li here?"
A question sounded outside, interrupting Xie Li's thoughts.
After walking out of the door, Xie Li realized that the person who called Zhu Xu was Zhu Xu's personal guard.
"The General of the Central Army ordered you to go there." The guards made it straight to the point and explained their purpose.
"It's a labor!"
Xie Li bowed slightly, and then followed him to Zhu Xu's office hall in the camp.
Since yesterday's banquet ended very late, Zhu Xu seemed to be in a bad spirit at this time.
"Come on, sit down." Zhu Xu saw Xie Li coming and pointed to the seat on his right and said.
"Thank you, General Jung-Law!"
"Jing Xuan knows, what's the matter with calling you here today?"
Zhu Xu put down the document in his hand, looked at Xie Li, and asked with a smile on his face.
Looking at his expression, Xie Li didn't know that he was deliberately keeping him in hiding, so he smiled and said directly: "When yesterday, Xie Li was not responsible for the main contribution, he also put in a lot of effort. If you guessed well, Xie Li would get some good things again today."
"Hahaha! You guy seems to be humble in saying this, but in fact you are very proud. But this is just like this. You are young and promising, and you should be a little arrogant. If you can be the teacher at such a young age, Vino will be restrained and have no life."
Zhu Xu was obviously very satisfied with Xie Li's answer. Although he has now reached the position of General of the Central Army and has paid attention to many of his behaviors at all times, this does not mean that he has simply lost his love for this straightforward and generous manner.
"What the General Zhonglang said is very true. Xie Li Ding will not let down the General Zhonglang's expectations in the future."
Xie Li said as Zhu Xu's meaning, but he couldn't hear any meaning in his tone.
Zhu Xu didn't care at all when he heard this, and then said, "There is always a reward, but don't worry now. If I come to you, there will be something else."
"I wonder what the General General of the Central Committee gave?" Xie Li said with some questions.
Zhu Xu turned his head and said casually: "During the emergency moment yesterday, I saw that you were clear-headed and could make strange plans, so I asked you to come here today to see if you have any of your own opinions on the guardian city of Xiangyang."
But this tone that was more obvious was too obvious.
Xie Li had already clearly seen that Zhu Xu had no other way to defend the battle in Xiangyang.
Otherwise, he would not have discussed this strategy of defending the city with his little clerk.
"This, Xie Li is still young after all. Although he has read some military books, he has only read it thoroughly and does not seek much understanding. Therefore, today I am afraid that I will be disappointed with the expectations of the General of the Central Army."
"Haha, where did this arrogance just now go? Anyway, I have nothing to do today, just talk about it casually. I just regard it as a deduction of the art of war to prove the previous letter."
"Since that's the case, Xie Li will make a fuss and ask the General of the Central Army not to blame him."
"Just speak freely. I have a few plans for the chief clerk of the army. You can try to advise and see which one is more feasible."
"Please also ask the Chief Secretary to make a clear statement."
"One of this is to defend Xiangyang to the death and wait for strong support; the second is to follow Wei Wu's plan to attack Wuchao; the third is to seek another plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. What do Xie Li think of these three plans?"
Xie Li lowered his head and pondered, falling into thinking.
To be honest, judging from the current situation in Xiangyang, it is a delusion to want to break through the Qin army, which has ten times more troops than our own. Therefore, these strategies are theoretically more likely to involve the Qin army.
But in practice, Xie Li felt it was difficult to ascend to the sky.
It was really uncomfortable to kneel down for a long time. Just as he took this opportunity, Xie Li stood up and said slowly: "Hold to the death and wait for the strong support. What he was waiting for is nothing more than General Huan Chong, the chariot and cavalry general. Although General Huan was guarding Jingzhou at this time, he was the closest to Xiangyang, but his subordinates were all the Huan clan tribes managed by former general Huan Wen. Although there were nearly 100,000 people, this was the foundation of the Huan clan. Facing the Qin army's more than 100,000 tigers and wolves, and the famous general Yao Chang, Murong Chui, and the Central Army thought that Huan Chong would have the chance to reinforce Xiangyang?"
"This plan for Emperor Wu of Wei to attack Wuchao was confronted by the two armies at that time. Moreover, Guandu is located in the Central Plains and has convenient transportation. Emperor Wu of Wei to attack without considering terrain factors. But Xiangyang is different. We were trapped in the city, with either rivers or moats dozens of feet wide on all sides. We were always looked at by the Qin army. How could this surprise attack soldiers go out?"
"Besides, this surrounded Wei and saved Zhao..."
Xie Li shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Which army is still there to dare to strode the Qin army's beards south of the river?"
