Zhao Wei called the door late at night, which was a little abrupt.

However, unexpectedly, the three old husbands responded very quickly, almost as Zhao Wei slapped the door, and the oil lamp in the room lit up at the same time.

As for Zhao and Rui, Zhao Mengxi and his son, Zhao Wei was useless to call him. When he heard the movement, he turned on the light and opened the door.

Everyone looked at each other in the corridor at the door, and saw that they were all wearing robes, but they were completely sleepy. They looked at each other and smiled, and went to the gazebo in the corner of the courtyard.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Wang Yinglin took the lead in breaking the silence and looked at Zhao Wei with a smile.

Zhao Wei rubbed his face, "It's okay, I just feel depressed when General Yi and his friends died for Diaoyu City."

"Oh!" Everyone sighed, "There is no way! Who made our soldiers a young man?"

"Yes!" Wen Tianxiang sighed, "The advantage of going deep into Bashu is that it goes without saying, but the disadvantages are not lacking, but there are very few military sources."

"Now, including the Changning Army retreated from Lingxiao City, there are only 12,000 armored soldiers, and it is still not the same as before!"

Wang Yinglin comforted Zhao Wei, "Actually, it's already very good. Last year, today, how could I imagine there was a city with more than ten thousand soldiers?"

He smiled and said, "Take it slowly, you will get better! Isn't General Yi fighting for time with you?"

But unexpectedly, everyone's comfort did not make Zhao Wei feel better. Instead, he said with a little willfulness, "But I don't want to give up Lingxiao City!"

“…”

“…”

“…”

Everyone was stunned. This was not a question of whether you wanted to or not, but whether you have the ability to secure Lingxiao City.

"Don't let me follow me!"

Zhao Wei knew that just by saying that his husband would not listen to him. He led everyone to the main hall of the General Manager's Mansion.

There is a place where the military discusses affairs, with topographic maps around Bashu and Hezhou.

Zhao Wei and Zhao Mengxi lit the lights separately and came to the Bashu map.

"Let's see, please!"

Zhao Wei first pointed to the seat of Diaoyu City on the map, "This is Diaoyu City, needless to say, the extra ones, my husbands all know."

"Diaoyu City is based on Hezhou, and the key points of the three rivers of Qujiang, Fujiang and Jialing River are the water and land throats that enter Chongqing from northern Sichuan and middle Sichuan. If we take root here, the Yuan people will feel very uncomfortable."

Everyone nodded. Zhao Wei didn't need to say this, everyone knew it.

"But." Zhao Wei changed his subject, "But we can only take root here, and at most radiate between Hezhou and Beizhou. If we do it more accurately, it may be possible to cut off the connection between northern Sichuan and Chongqing, and it is limited to this."

Wen Tianxiang nodded, "It's already great to be able to do this."

"But, then?"

Zhao Wei frowned, "It is impossible for us to stay in the Diaoyu City for the rest of our lives. At the right time, we always have to go out. But where to go?"

"The only choice is...Chongqing! It is also the only way out!"

Everyone nodded again.

If Diaoyu City is stable, it is almost necessary to guide Chongqing.

You know, no matter how good Diaoyu City is, it is just a mountain city and a small land, and Chongqing is a big city and a mansion city.

Only by taking Chongqing can you be qualified to be valued by the Yuan people. In other words, only by restoring the Song Dynasty can you be considered a start.

"But Chongqing is not easy to take!" Zhao Wei said seriously, "From Chongqing attacking Diaoyu City, the Yuan army can come and leave as soon as they want. However, it is not that easy to attack Chongqing from Diaoyu City."

"Even if we have enough troops, it's not that simple, because there is a Yangtze River waterway."

"The Yuan army can reinforce and replenish supplies from Yizhou, or come by land through southwest Sichuan. And our route to send troops is only one Jialing River!"

The husbands nodded again.

From a strategic perspective, it is indeed difficult to guide Chongqing. But this seems...isn't it a question you should consider now, right?

When Zhao Wei said this, he changed the subject again, "Let's take a look at Lingxiao City."

On the picture, "Lingxiao City is located directly at the bottom of the Bashu Basin, in the mountains southeast of Yibin. To be precise, it should be between Yibin and Luzhou."

"This place is more than a hundred miles away from the Yangtze River waterway, and it seems that it has little control over the Yangtze River waterway. However, the land throat from Yizhou through Yibin to Luzhou, and even Chongqing is stuck."

"I can't see it normally, because there is a Yangtze River channel, no one cares whether the land is open."

"But, have you ever thought about it? What if the Yangtze River is blocked?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Wei in a daze, "Why doesn't it work?"

"here!"

Zhao Wei pointed to a city not far below Lingxiao City, "Shenjian City! If Shenjian City returns to our hands, the Yangtze River will be blocked and Lingxiao City will be stuck on the land."

The palm moved and covered Chongqing, "Then Chongqing... became an isolated city! I will fight whatever I want!"

“…”

“…”

“…”

Everyone stared at Zhao Wei in a daze, still a little confused.

Okay, Zhao Wei brought everyone here and said he wanted to save Lingxiao City, but when he came in, he said that he was fighting Chongqing. Now he has retreated to Shenbing City, but there is nothing wrong with Lingxiao City.

"What the hell is your Highness wanting to say?"

Zhao Wei: "What I want to say is actually very simple. Lingxiao City cannot be lost. If it is lost, it will be difficult to get it back."

"And if Lingxiao City is in hand, then in the future, as long as you win a Shen'an City, there will be hope of conquering it."

"Don't you understand yet? We have saved Lingxiao City! It's not only because of General Yi, but also to lay a living child for the future!"

"But, how can I save it!"

Wang Yinglin smiled bitterly and returned to the original problem. Diaoyu City lacked troops and could not be saved.

"So!" Zhao Wei spread his hands, "I'll call everyone up and think about it together! Otherwise, what's the use of us? Have a good meal?"

"Cough cough." Mr. Houzhai almost choked to death. Stinky brat, who are you scolding?

Well, their old husbands have almost become mascots since they arrived in Diaoyu City. They don’t need anything, they have indeed become people who have eaten.

"Oh!" sighed a long time, put on the robe that was draped on his body, and said to Wen Tianxiang, Xie Dieshan, and Zhao Yurui: "What are you doing when you are standing there? Think about it!"

"I can't think of a way to save the city tonight. Your Highness Ning is afraid that he won't let us sleep!"

Wen Tianxiang also smiled bitterly, thinking...what is just a little bit of soldiers.

Diaoyu City has only 12,000 soldiers, 6,000 war horses, and 7 small cannons. There are many civilians, and they will respond if they are men in the city.

There are only so many conditions available.

And the enemy will not answer the 200,000 troops quickly. This is enough for you to think about it.

Can't think of it.

No one who is sitting knows that it is impossible to think of a good wife who cooks without rice. Sun Wu will never win a war without soldiers again.

Well, since we mentioned the Soldier, there was a military book "Thirty-Six Strategies of Military Arts" next to the map of mountains and rivers, which is the early prototype of the "Thirty-Six Strategies" in later generations.

Mr. Wang looked through it casually, "I can't think of it, so I will read it one by one according to the military book?"

Everyone smiled bitterly. Is it useful to use the military books at this time?

"The golden cicada escaped from the orifice." Mr. Wang really started to recite the book, but this is the first one...

“This is useless.”

"It's useless to hide the knife in my smile!"

"Bound Wei to save Zhao... Hum?" The master was stunned, "This seems to be useful, right?"

Looking at the map of mountains and rivers, "What did your highness say just now? In advance to attack Chongqing, Shenbing City needs to block the Yangtze River waterway. If you don't answer quickly, you won't be able to see the importance of Shenbing City? Then, if we are feinting to attack Shenbing City, is he going to rescue? The siege of Lingxiao City is lifted!"

"No, no!" Xie Dieshan shook his hand, "Even if he sends troops to rescue him, will he need to spend all 200,000? As long as we divide 30,000 to 50,000 people, we will have no choice."

"Yes." Mr. Wang nodded, "Then add one more? It's like Genting City, which is also the key point and a must-have node."

The old man is also very heartless. Even if he only divides tens of thousands of people, he can relieve the pressure on Lingxiao City!

Wen Tianxiang really doesn’t want to argue with him. For more than 2,000 defenders, is there a difference between 200,000 and 100,000?

"Next plan!"

"Okay!" Wang Yinglin nodded, "The next plan is... a series plan? No..."

"Watching the fire across the river? It's useless."

"Falling in troubled waters?"

"Wait!" Zhao Wei frowned, "This plan is a bit useful!"

Then he said: "The place in Lingxiao City is the most suitable for fishing in troubled waters. Let the Blood Head Army hide in the mountains and forests and fight guerrillas with the Yuan army. Even if it cannot play a big role, it can make the Yuan army exhausted."
