Chapter 594 Testing the Foundation
While Lu Meng and others were standing on the top of the city and pointing at the Huai army camp, Wang Jing also led a group of civil and military soldiers out of the camp and came to observe the situation on a hill relatively close to Changshu city.

The city of Changshu is strong, although it is not well-known in history, but in terms of size and strength, it is comparable to Shouchun, which was attacked by the Huai army before.

The reason why Shouchun City was breached was because there were no top experts in the city.

A mere Zhuge's birth, a ninth-level fierce general, can solve it even without a ninth-level strong general.

But a city with a ninth-level seat and a city without a ninth-level seat are definitely not the same thing.

Wang Jing's insight talent has been upgraded to Lingmu.

Observation and insight to a higher level.

At this time, in his eyes, above Changshu City in the distance, there is a faint barrier that ordinary people cannot see. The whole city gives people a sense of immovability and solidity.

"Jiangdong Sun Family, it is said that there is a military art taught by Sun Wu in their family. The city of Changshu is surrounded by military formations. It seems that the rumors are indeed true!"

Wang Jing slightly admired.

Sun Wu's Art of War has the four forces of Fenglin and Volcano. It talks about the essence of the army as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as the fire, and as immovable as the mountain. The most reasonable.

In the world of Shenzhou, the art of war handed down by the Sun family in Jiangdong evolved into the four formations of Fenglin and Volcano.

Among them, Sun Jian is best at using the fire array!He trained the elite under his command in a fire formation, and when fighting the enemy head-on, the aggression was like fire, unstoppable.Fight fiercely, can fight tough battles.

But the flame's strength lies in its bursting, not its permanence.

What he is not good at is encountering sudden attacks, making it impossible for the army to display, and he is not good at protracted warfare.This is Sun Jian's weakness.

Sun Ce is good at wind gusts.It is as swift as the wind and as powerful as thunder.The way of leading the army is similar to that of Xiang Yu, but compared to Xiang Yu's invincible domineering and bravery, he is still two levels lower.

Sun Quan is not as talented as his father and brother, but he just used the four formations of military strategists handed down in his family to train special arms and relieve troubles.And in some important cities, the method of military formation is used to cast the city to strengthen the defense.

"That's right, Changshu City is said to be blessed with the Immovable Thick Earth Formation passed down by the Sun Clan, but any generals above the seventh rank who comprehend the power of heaven and earth will be greatly weakened if they attack the city..."

Gao Yan said slowly from the side.

This is top-secret news from Soochow. In order to find out this news, the secret agents of the Military Intelligence Department sacrificed a lot.

"There is only Lu Meng alone in the city. What can you do with a mere army? Your Majesty and the last general are ordered to attack the city for the first time. After Changshu, Suzhou is a woman with open clothes. Why don't you let us ravage you?" ?”

Shi Wansui took the initiative to ask for orders.

"General Shi, why should you be so anxious? If we attack by force, our army will suffer heavy losses... How to deal with it depends on the king's decision!"

Xie Hui said softly.

Shi Wansui opened his eyes slightly and wanted to refute, but when he heard the last sentence said by the other party, he immediately closed his mouth and just snorted coldly.

Among the Huai army, apart from a few people such as King Huai and Fu Youde, Shi Wansui has never been afraid of anyone, Xie Hui is just a civil servant, so what if he holds a high position in the central government?
Like Xie Hui, who had a dark history of killing the emperor's son and abolishing the emperor as a minister of Liu Yutuogu in the end, he was doomed to be unable to be an extreme minister in the Huai army in the future.

This is not a matter of Wang Jing's trust or distrust, but that all courtiers who have the three principles and five constant principles will be subconsciously wary of him.

And he Shi Wansui, as long as he continues to make meritorious service, he will become a general in the army in the future, and he can even lead the army alone to fight in all directions...

Wang Jing swept his eyes over the crowd and said, "I'm leading an army of hundreds of thousands to Changshu. How can I just sit back and watch the Eastern Wu soldiers guard the city? Shi Wansui, since you volunteered, I will give you this chance!"

"I'll give you one hundred thousand soldiers and horses. When the siege equipment such as catapults, columbine carts, and crash ladders and arrow towers is completed, the siege will begin immediately!"

"Send another order to transfer Wenqin, Wenyang, Zhou Panlong, and Zhou Fengshu to listen to Shi Wansui for the time being!"

Shi Wansui quickly stood up and kowtowed to the ground, "Don't worry, your majesty, if you can't break through Changshu, please behead someone's head!"

Wang Jing laughed, waved his hands and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. I don't have high requirements. It would be best if I can capture Changshu. If I can't break through the city in a short time, then I have to keep the enemy inside the city and dare not go out."

"This is the bottom line of loneliness!"

Even if Shi Wansui is a strong general of the ninth rank, together with Wen Qin, Wen Yang, Zhou Panlong and his son, it will be difficult to break through the city in a short time. Wen Qin and his son and Zhou Panlong have not yet broken through the ninth rank.

In Changshu City, Lu Meng also had several eighth-rank generals under his command.

The two sides can only say that they are evenly matched.

But Lu Meng has a strong city in his hands, so he naturally has the advantage.

Just like what Xie Hui said, the Huai army would attack by force at this time, and the losses would not be small, if they attacked the city with [-] soldiers and horses.The chance of breaking the city is even less than [-]%.

"Your Majesty told the soldiers of the Eastern Wu not to go out of the city... Could it be that they want to surround some places for reinforcements?"

Gao Yan frowned slightly and asked.

Wang Jing said: "No, what Gu means is that we continue to divide our troops and take the initiative to attack other cities in Soochow!"

Gao Yan and Xie Hui looked at each other.

Both of them are top smart people, but when they heard Wang Jing's words, they suddenly didn't react.

Surrounding points to fight for reinforcements is not the same as dividing troops to attack.

On the other hand, Chen Qingzhi, who hadn't spoken much all this time, his expression moved slightly, as if he understood what Wang Jing meant.

"Do you know where the foundation of Soochow is?"

A smile appeared on Wang Jing's face.

Gao Yan said: "Back to the king, the foundation of Soochow is naturally the Sun family and the rich and powerful families of various places..."

Speaking of this, Gao Yan suddenly understood Wang Jing's real intention.

"Yes, there are two foundations of Soochow, namely the Sun family and the aristocratic family. Now most of Sun Jian's troops and naval forces of the Sun family have been wiped out, and Sun Ce's troops have been restrained from going north. The remaining part of the force is in the city of Changshu. ..."

"However, most of the Sun family's strength has been lost. Although the strength of the aristocratic families in Soochow has been lost, they have not been hurt. If they send out their own troops, they will be equivalent to an army of 30!"

"Our army can't give them a chance to unite. Taking advantage of the turmoil in Soochow, use part of our troops to guard Changshu, and divide our troops to attack the aristocratic families entrenched in various places. Take advantage of their unpreparedness and quickly destroy them!"

"Without the trilogy of family soldiers from aristocratic families, Soochow will never recover from a setback, and it will no longer be a lone opponent..."

Wang Jing said his plan.

Xie Hui was hesitant to say anything, he wanted to say that not all the powerful families under Soochow Wu were enemies of the Huai army, and most of them secretly even had the intention of defecting to the Huai army.

If we divide our forces to attack the Wubao castles of those aristocratic families, wouldn't we want to keep those aristocratic families who want to defect to them from the door?

The power of the aristocratic family is not small.

The power that can obviously be used for one's own use is forced to be regarded as an enemy. A wise man will not take it!
of course.

Xie Hui thinks this way because he himself is a member of the aristocratic family.The outlook on life and values ​​cultivated since childhood are destined to be different from ordinary people.

As for Gao Yan and Chen Qingzhi, they knew that Wang Jing's move was precisely to treat the aristocratic families under Soochow as enemies... The Huai army was different from Soochow's Sun family.

The Sun family can rule the world together with the aristocratic family, but in the Huai army, there is no so-called aristocratic position.
