Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 106

Wang Zheng didn't have a clear concept of the ancient city. At the beginning, he only knew that Linzi's defense was solid, but he didn't have a specific cognition.

However, before crossing, he had traveled to Xiangyang, and he was very impressed with this city, the number one strong city in China.

Especially the stunning moat.
The average width is 180 meters, and the widest point reaches more than 250 meters.

Wang Zheng at that time, nostalgic for the past, had imagined some scenes.

Xiangyang City in the era of cold weapons will make the besiegers sigh and despair.

In addition to instigating countermeasures and enclosing life and consumption, if it is a frontal attack, relying on those flesh and blood, the moat alone will make most people sigh.

Of course, Wang Zheng also knew that it is impossible for all the big city moats to be as exaggerated as Xiangyang.

But even if it is only a fraction, even if it is tens of meters.
That's enough of a headache, too.

Fortunately in misfortune.

The width of the moat in Linzi city is not so wide that it makes him grind his teeth with hatred.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be intimidated by Linzi's defense, although they lost the contempt before, they were somewhat demoralized.

After thinking about it, Wang Zheng decided to give them some motivation.

"Many things in this world have something in common." He looked around the crowd and said loudly:

"As we see every day, the more delicate the flowers, the more thorny and thorny they are."

"Zhao County Guangrao, the process for us to defeat them is indeed relatively easy." Wang Zheng spread his hands: "But the harvest is not much."

"What about Linzi City?"

He shifted his gaze to Sun Ting, and asked in a deep voice: "Sun Ting, let me ask you, have you ever noticed how many households and people there are in the city?"

Just as Sun Ting was about to answer, he saw that Yu Jin had already opened his mouth and answered:
"General, there are at least [-] households in a city like Linzi, and the total population will probably be close to [-]."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's tiger eyes lit up immediately, and everyone looked at Yu Jin in surprise.

Since a person like Yu Jin dared to speak out, Wang Zheng absolutely believed in the accuracy of the other party's words, and he didn't even need to ask the source.

"Hey." He chuckled, spread his hands, and scanned the audience:
"Everyone, did you hear what Captain Yu said just now?"

"The total population of Linzi City is one hundred thousand!"

Seeing everyone's excited faces, their eyes widened, revealing greed and excitement.

Wang Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

This population figure alone represents a huge fortune.

Not to mention the other wealth and resources represented behind it.

Only Yu Jin, who caused these people's inner turmoil, looked calm and asked Sun Ting a question instead.

"Who is the governor of Linzi County, and what is the official voice like?"

Hearing this, Wang Zheng nodded, feeling that Yu Jin's words were right.

Pan Zhang and Xu Fang also lifted their spirits at the same time, and looked at Sun Ting with concern.

That's the most important point.

After all, no matter how strong a city is, it is still a dead thing.

Whether it can be breached, and how much it will cost to break through, always depends on the defenders of the city.

Seeing the leaders of the Heavenly Army staring at them, Sun Ting couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and scratched his head, showing a look of reminiscence.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "The name of the governor of Linzi County is Xu Xuan, and the official voice"

"The little man occasionally heard a few words, and the evaluation seems to be good. Most of the people seem to respect this mansion."

"Admiration? That shouldn't be a mediocrity." Wang Zheng asked again: "Is there more awe or admiration?"

Sun Ting thought for a while:
"It should be more awe."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng frowned immediately.

"Then I'm afraid this sheriff is a resolute and resolute character."

"Since it is admiration, it can be seen that this person's daily behavior is strict and daunting." Yu Jin also added with a solemn expression: "But since it is admiration rather than awe, it shows that he has rules in his actions and clear rewards and punishments."

"Such a county guard, if he comes to defend the city, it will indeed increase the difficulty for our army to conquer."

"Ah."

Wang Zheng nodded in agreement with Yu Jin's point of view, and fell silent.

In fact, Wang Zheng still has enough confidence if he does not count the effort but only seeks the result.

Not only because of the outstanding combat power of the Heavenly Army under his command.

It's that he has already stored a large amount of experience, if it is all used on the team, it will be another surge in overall strength.

not to mention.
Even before hearing the news from Sun Ting, Wang Zheng himself was mentally prepared, and had already thought of a solution.

How to reduce the loss of your own family and capture Linzi as soon as possible.

What he is worried about now is indeed judging from this situation
Just act according to the plan, Linzi's all-round defensive state, even if the previous method is used, I am afraid that a certain degree of casualties of the Celestial Army is inevitable.

and to what extent
Wang Zheng really couldn't grasp it now.

This hesitation fell into the eyes of others, but they thought that General Tiangong was worried about how to conquer Linzi.

People like Wu Sheng and others are naturally concerned about the work of the ministers, but they can only be anxious.

Xu Fang and Pan Zhang also fell into deep thought.

Zhang Rao winked at Zhao Hong again and again, hoping that the other party would find a way to make him act quickly in front of Wang Zheng.

It's just that Zhao Hong has nothing to do.

Although his eloquence is good for a half-assed strategist like him, he is more concerned with scheming people's hearts and directing internal affairs, but he lacks specific countermeasures for this kind of marching and fighting.

The field fell into silence for a while.

At this time, Yu Jin also fell into hesitation.

After a while, I finally couldn't help but open my mouth and said:

"General, although Linzi is not easy to conquer, it cannot be said that there is no way."

"Where there is a will, there is a way."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng was a little speechless, and looked up at Yu Jin.

If chicken soup for the soul is useful, do we still need to work hard?

But seeing the other party looking at him with piercing eyes, the meaning in the eyes is unclear.

Ok?Isn't it just a simple hello?

"Where there is a will, there is a way."

Wang Zheng lowered his eyes, and repeated Yu Jin's words several times, thoughtfully.

After a while, he asked with some uncertainty:
"Did you mean Geng Yan (yǎn)?"

Wang Zheng saw the source of this inspirational quote in Du Niang's Post Bar in his previous life, and it was exactly what described this person.

Geng Yan, the founding father of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Among the "28 Yuntai generals", he ranked fourth.

In "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty Geng Yan Biography", Liu Xiu once said: "The general was in Nanyang before, and when he built this great strategy, he often thought that it was difficult to get along, and that where there is a will, there is a way."

Yu Jin looked at Wang Zheng in surprise, and said:

"The general is wise and martial, and he is also knowledgeable and talented. The general admires him."

When he said this, Yu Jin naturally hoped that Wang Zheng could understand the implication.

But deep down, Yu Jin really didn't have much hope.

After all, since he was a bandit in the Yellow Turban, Wang Zheng's background was nothing more than an outcast. According to common sense, it is impossible for him to have read history books and have this insight.

But Yu Jin didn't want to say it directly.

He had just joined the Celestial Army as a general, and he wanted to act cautiously, and he didn't want to be in the limelight.

I don't even want to appear to be more knowledgeable and strategic than the lord Wang Zheng.

It's just that now we are all in the same boat, sharing good and bad, and others have nothing to do, so Yu Jin has to find a way to solve it, and he has to make suggestions.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zheng not only knew this allusion, but also said it in a very short time.

Yu Jin was secretly amazed.

Yu Jin nodded and said, "If our army wants to attack Linzi, we can use Geng Yan's plan to attack Zhang Bu!"

Geng Yan's plan to attack Zhang Bu?
What's the trick?
I just know that this word describes Gengyan, I don’t know anything else, Comrade Old Yu.

Although he kept screaming in his heart, Wang Zheng naturally didn't want to show his timidity on the surface, but just showed a clear expression:
"Well, this strategy can indeed be used for reference."

The two talked in riddles for a long time, but the others looked at each other blankly.

Wu Sheng, who had been silent since the meeting, finally couldn't hold back his inner curiosity, and shouted directly:

"General, what is this plan?"

Good question!
In my heart, I first gave the general manager a compliment, but on the surface, Wang Zheng was not happy, so he gave Wu Sheng a hard look, and reprimanded:

"I told you to read more books, why are you still making no progress? Don't understand anything?"

After all, he looked at Yu Jin with a smile:
"Captain Yu, please explain to this idiot."

"promise."

After Yu Jin clapped his hands and responded, he looked around at the crowd and said loudly:
"In the fifth year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, General Jianwei Geng Yan defeated King Zhang Bu of Qi."

"It is to destroy Zhu'a first, then settle the whole county of Jinan, and finally advance to Linzi."

"When Geng Yan attacked Linzi, he threatened to attack Xi'an County in the northwest of Linzi first. After arriving at the city, he ordered his generals to set off at midnight and rush to the city of Linzi before dawn."

"I will go to Linzi in half a day!"

"This is a trick to attack the west." After hearing Yu Jin's words, Xu Fang murmured: "Take advantage of the night to cover, to avoid the defender's sight, just to catch them by surprise?"

"That's right!" Yu sighed at the banning festival:

"The most important thing is that I read history books before, and although I didn't see the detailed circumstances of Geng Yan's destruction of Linzi, according to Sun Ting's words, the moat is more than ten meters wide, and it's going to hit the west at night. It may break the city in half a day."

"Judging by the direction of the Zi River"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Zheng had already fully understood.

He asserted emphatically:

"Not deep!"

"The moat on the north wall facing Xi'an County must not be deep!"

"This must have been filled with water from artificial trenches, and the depth is naturally impossible to compare with that of a natural river!"

"That's exactly what the general thinks." Yu Jin nodded, "If it's as the general said, we should conquer Linzi from the north wall."

"It's just that, you have to take a detour. You can't take the route from Guangrao to Linzi. It will take a lot of time."

As he spoke, Yu Jin looked at Wang Zheng, hesitant to speak.

"Wen Ze, don't worry." Wang Zheng smiled, waved his hands and said: "As I said before, Cao Cao is attacking Xuzhou at this time, and he is marching all the way, so he may not be willing to come back."

"If he turns back at this time, it will only be because of changes in Yanzhou."

"So, it's good to spend time."

Wang Zheng blinked at the crowd and said with a smile:
"Wait for our allies, it's best to let Xu Qushuai go up to try Linzi first."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and laughed strangely.

　Some book friends' comments made me dumbfounded.

　　I said Huo is not a heroine, but it doesn’t mean I don’t recommend it (Women over the age of 15 to 30 who appear in this book, if the pen and ink have been described in detail, and have good looks, they must be recommended.)
　　But writing a kiss does not mean pushing it immediately.

　　How can there be any taste in pushing without process?
