What is a clever plan?

The plan that can achieve the goal is a clever plan.

How can we achieve our goal?

Find your opponent's weakness and make full use of it so that your opponent can only swallow it even though he knows it is a poison.

What is Huai Zong's weakness? It is pride, it is wind and snow, and it is the huge shame brought by Liu Xiu's capture and breaking his legs. Liu Xiu could see through these, so he only used one painting to hit Huai Zong's fatal point. As for the reaction of Rising Qianfeng and the pressure he brought to Huai Zong, it was just an external factor.

With five thousand years of culture, the most developed Chinese people is power struggle. Perhaps because of their overdevelopment, they believe that power struggle is omnipotent because they ignore hard power. When they find that in the face of real strength, power struggle is just a clown’s trick, China fell into a dire semi-colonial and semi-feudal era.

It was a humiliating era, but it is not yet. Although the Han Dynasty was shaky, it still had enough deterrence in front of the Xianbei people. At least in the offense and defense of the city, the Han people had an absolute advantage.

Liu Xiu's purpose was to make Huai Zong give up the advantage of the Xianbei people riding and shooting, and instead attack the city. Huai Zong is not a fool. Although Dou Gui lacks experience, he still has knowledge. If he wants them to give up their strengths and make the best of the city, he must have extremely targeted tricks. Despite this, Liu Xiu still felt lucky and felt that it was absolutely worth it to sacrifice his life outside the city to capture Fenglien alive, otherwise he would never be able to anger famous generals like Fenglien.

Liu Xiu knew this from the moment he said lightly, "Axue, don't blame me." The success of the strategy is often based on the other party's mistakes. Although Liu Xiu thought he was very accurate in people's hearts, he did not dare to pin all his hopes on the mistakes that Fengliu would make.

Now that Fengli is in the dungeon, he may have seen through Liu Xiu's thoughts, but he cannot play a role. None of the three generals in the camp outside the city are as calm as him, or rather, without his cold blood, in the face of Liu Xiu's stimulation, they do not have the same nature as Fengli, and they cannot be able to remain unmoved by the eight winds.

"Sir, this is just luck." Liu Xiu said modestly: "Whether you can win this battle in the end depends on your planning and the bloody battle of all the warriors."

Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhang Wu: "Go to tell the messenger of Huai Zong that the wind and snow are worth three thousand good horses, the wind and cracks are worth five thousand, and another two thousand stones of grain are given. This price should be worthy of the Crown Princess of the Xianbei people and the adults of the Niu Head Tribe."

Zhang Wu held back his laughter, gave a gift, and strode out.

Xia Yu pointed Wang Chan with his hand: "It was your responsibility to let Huai Zong run away last time. During this period, you are clamoring every day and not convinced. I will give you a chance to prove your courage and lead 200 people to guard the south gate."

Wang Chan stepped out of the line and replied loudly.

"Xian Yuyin, bring the Gu County troops and guard the east gate."

Xianyu Yin went out to pay tribute.

"Ye Yi, how about you guarding the West Gate?"

Zhang He stood up and bowed to answer.

"Deran, you protect Mr. Zixing, right on the city wall. Without my order, you are not allowed to leave the city to fight."

Liu Xiu had some questions, but he didn't say much and stood up to agree. Xia Yu then arranged the guards on the walls of each gate. Liu Xiu and Lu Min were listening carefully. It was a rare opportunity for them to observe the wars of famous generals like Xia Yu. Zhang He also thought so. Although he stood aside and remained silent and as quiet as a virgin, his focused eyes showed a glimmer of joy from time to time, and he obviously gained a lot.

After Xia Yu finished giving orders, Liu Xiu accompanied Lu Min out of the lieutenant's mansion. Lu Min remained silent until he stepped onto the city wall. He suddenly stopped and turned to Liu Xiu and said, "Deran, don't you think there is something wrong with Lord Xia Yu's arrangement?"

Liu Xiu smiled calmly, thinking that Lu Min has made great progress these days. If you have any questions, he did not question Xia Yu in person, but endured it until now. He blinked: "What's the problem?"

"If you fight with the Xianbei people, the most dangerous place is Feng Yuan outside the city gate. Once it is lost, the Xianbei people will sooner or later clear the roadblocks outside the city and start Fucheng. Logically speaking, the most elite manpower should be arranged in these places. Why, besides the south gate, he only arranged the county soldiers from Shanggu and the Yi soldiers from Jizhou in the east gate and the west gate?" He glanced at Zhang He, who had a calm expression, "Did he use us as a ditches?"

Liu Xiu touched his chin and turned his head to look at Zhang He: "Junyi, what do you think?"

Zhang He pondered for a moment and said in a harmonious voice: "The lieutenant left all the elites in the city, probably as a reserve force, to rescue all places at any time and leave strength for counterattacks." He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The South Gate is the main attack direction of the Xianbei people. He arranged Wang Chan, but they are all the elites under his command, so they should not be biased."

Liu Xiu didn't say anything, turned his head to look at Lu Min. Lu Min still didn't believe it, but he was not so worried. He thought for a while and said, "Junyi, I will allocate some of the troops brought by Zhuo County to you, and I won't believe it anymore. We can't defend a city gate."

Zhang He hurriedly thanked him. Liu Xiu smiled and patted Zhang He on the shoulder: "Senior brother, don't worry, with Junyi and his Zhang family's elves, there may not be a chance for us to play. Junyi may not give us the opportunity to fight at that time."

Zhang He was a little embarrassed, and how dare he even say that. They stood on the west gate tower and began to study the upcoming war. Xia Yu arranged several lines of defense outside the city wall. The outermost city was a horse-resisted horse-resisted trenches dug by refugees, one zhang wide and one zhang deep. Sharpened wooden stakes were planted in the ditch. Then came a Feng Yuan, which was made of soil dug from the ditches, and about one person was tall, just for the soldiers to hide behind. Zhang He and Wang Chan and his team were tasked with intercepting the enemy behind Feng Yuan. Behind them were several horse-resisted horses. The deep ditch was fifty steps away from the city wall. If the enemy tried to cross this deep ditch, he would face the crossfire attack from the city and Feng Yuan behind him.

Before these fortifications were cleared, the city gates were safe. Apart from strong crossbows, there were almost no weapons that could attack the city walls. The Xianbei people were many bows and arrows, and there were few strong crossbows with long-range ranges. As for large stone throwers, they could not even see the shadow. If they wanted to attack the city, the best way was to siege and not attack.

The guards behind Feng Yuan are the most dangerous. They are within the range of the other party's bow and arrows. Once the other party jumps over the deep ditch or tries to fill the deep ditch, they must defeat the other party as soon as possible and crush their attempts. At this time, they must jump out of Feng Yuan to fight back, and be exposed to the opponent's dense rain of arrows and fight with the enemy.

It is not unreasonable for Lu Min to have such concerns, but Zhang He was as calm as usual and could not see any concern at all. He got off the city, measured the distance between the horses step by step, pushed the horses that were planted in the soil with his hands to try to be stable, and then jumped into the deep pit and tried to climb up. Liu Xiu was not idle either, and took Zhang Fei and Mao family troops to get off the city together, familiar with the terrain. Once the war started, they were Zhang He's reserve force, and they were ready to pick up Zhang He at any time to ensure that the west gate was not lost.

Lu Min hesitated for a moment, put on her clothes and got off the city.

When Huai Zong received Xia Yu's reply, he looked at Dou Gui and smiled bitterly, and had to order to prepare to attack the city. Here, Li Ding arrived in Ningcheng with Liu Yu's kindness. Huai Zong was overjoyed and sent Li Dingke politely into the city. Unexpectedly, before Li Ding could finish the words of Liu Yu asking him to hand over Fengxue and Feng Lie, he ordered him to be placed under house arrest, making Li Ding so angry that he cursed.
