Jiang Lvzhong nodded slowly: "Do you know where they are?"

Yang Yan said "hmm": "I only know the specific location, there are scouts watching, come back every hour to report back? So far, there is no abnormality."

Jiang Lvzhong looked around the crowd and said, "This battle must be settled quickly, otherwise with the ability of wizards, if we fight a protracted battle, there will be more and more corpse soldiers. We may not be able to burn the corpses in time on the battlefield."

Wizards have the ability to manipulate corpses, so the best way is to burn the dead corpses on the spot, so as to effectively curb the number of corpse soldiers.

Everyone started a discussion on this topic.

"The warlock of the Sitianjian will give us a direction, and then a few rounds of bombardment will come first. Then the archers and firecrackers will advance."

"But if the opponent retreats, except for the cavalry, other troops will not be able to catch up. If the cavalry pursues, it will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger."

"How about taking advantage of the large number of troops to form a siege?"

"No, the encirclement is to disperse our forces, and instead lose our advantage. The opponent can break through in any direction, and even launch a counterattack."

"We also have to guard against the wizard's fortune-telling skills. It would be great if there are high-quality warlocks to cover up the secrets for us."

"The hexagram master can only predict their own good or bad. If their lives are not in danger in this battle, they can't calculate it. Heh, if the opponent has a third-rank spiritual wisdom teacher, then I didn't say anything."

During the fierce battle, Xu Erlang took a look at Chu Yuanzhen. The former number one scholar closed his eyes and meditated, not intending to intervene in the discussion.

Xu Erlang could only keep silent. After a quarter of an hour, the generals were still discussing, but they had passed the disagreement stage and began to formulate details and strategies.

Xu Erlang glanced at Chu Yuanzhen again, he still didn't speak, but Xu Erlang couldn't help it, coughed, raised his arm, and said loudly:

"Everyone, why don't you listen to me?"

The discussion stopped, and all the generals frowned, staring sharply at the only scholar in the military tent.

Xu Nian was not qualified to sit here, no matter whether it was his status as a judge in Dingzhou or his qualifications.But Jiang Lvzhong and Xu Qi'an had been to the Jiaofang Division together, and they had investigated the case together in Yunzhou, so they naturally paid special attention to the younger brothers of their prostitutes and comrades-in-arms.

Not to mention Yang Yan, he glanced at the displeased generals and nodded calmly: "It's okay to say something."

With the tacit approval of the commander of the Chuzhou capital, Xu Xinian heaved a sigh of relief, and asked the generals present: "What is our goal?"

A general frowned, and replied in a deep voice: "Naturally, it is to kill Tuoba Ji's army and go to the north to help the monsters."

Xu Erlang nodded: "So our real purpose is to help the monsters, not to fight Tuoba Ji to the death."

"What's the difference?" A general asked with a sneer.

Xu Erlang glanced at Yang Yan, saw that he was listening attentively and showed no sign of interruption, so he said:

"Of course there is. When marching and fighting, attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the heart is the top priority. Winning at the least cost is what we want to do. If you only know how to be reckless, filling out a victory with the lives of soldiers is rude."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Chu Yuanzhen coughed suddenly, interrupting Xu Nian's speech.

"Siege of the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the concept in Xu Qi'an's military book. You may not have read it. This book is called Sun Tzu's Art of War, and Xu Ningyan recently wrote it. By the way, let me introduce it to everyone. This is Xu Qi'an's book." Cousin, second-class Jinshi in this subject, well, you can continue with Xu Qian." Chu Yuanzhen smiled.

Xu Yinluo knew the art of war?Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, wonderful

It turns out that this white-faced scholar is Xu Yinluo's cousin

All the generals were full of thoughts, and after knowing that Xu Xinian was Xu Yinluo's cousin, they put away their displeasure and adjusted their attitudes.

The martial artist who just sneered at the question, showed a friendly smile, and said: "Xu Qianshi, you continue to talk, we will listen."

The attitude is quite different.

The story of Xu Qi'an avenging 38 people in Chuzhou City and Zheng Xinghuai, the governor of Chuzhou City, has already spread throughout Chuzhou.

Among the officers present, some were locals from Chuzhou. This group of people respected Xu Qi'an like a god and were grateful.

Of course, soldiers and officers who are not locals also respect Xu Yinluo. When talking about him, who doesn't brag and give a thumbs up?

Since this unruly white-faced scholar is Xu Yinluo's cousin, he is not unruly, but just like his cousin, he is an outspoken and talented man.

Well, the talent has yet to be confirmed, but it does not prevent the generals from looking at him differently.

Xu Cijiu's face is still a little thinner. There is a cousin with a terrible reputation who doesn't know how to take advantage of it. If you move out early, who won't sell your face?If I insist on helping you, Chu Yuanzhen shook his head.

I don't need my elder brother's blessing. Xu Xinian muttered arrogantly, took a deep breath, and continued:

"Getting rid of the Tuoba Festival is our goal. Yasukuni left this army on the border of Chuzhou to contain us, wear down our troops, create time for them to kill the monsters, and reduce the pressure.

"If we really fight to the death, even if we win, it will only be a partial victory, which will not benefit the overall situation."

Jiang Lvzhong frowned: "We know this truth, what do you think?"

The military generals looked at him one after another, they understood these principles, but if they don't kill the enemy, how can they go north to help?

Xu Nian looked around at the crowd and said, "Our advantage is the large number of people. I think that to seize this advantage is not to use more to fight the less, but to use the numbers reasonably and deploy troops."

He paused and said, "Why don't you send a large army to bypass it?"

Hearing this, the generals were extremely disappointed.

Only Yang Yan and Jiang Lvzhong frowned in thought.

"How to go around? Don't solve the Tuoba Festival, just make a detour, and then wait for someone to make dumplings?"

"Xu Qianshi, your method, um, is still possible, but it is not applicable at this time."

The generals said euphemistically.

Compared with his elder brother, this promise is far worse.

Xu Nian put his hands on the table, and said calmly: "Listen to me, I just heard you say that the number of Tuoba Sacrifice troops, combined, is about 8000, right?"

Yang Yan's lieutenant general nodded: "Except for logistics and militia, it is true."

Xu Nian asked, "How about attacking the city with 8000 people?"

A general laughed and said, "It's wishful thinking. Let alone Chuzhou City, even if it is a small city with 8000 people, it is impossible to break through. Besides, there are hundreds of strongholds on the border defense line, and they can rush to help at any time."

Yang Yan's deputy general added: "We have fortified the wall and cleared the country."

Xu Nian smiled: "Since that's the case, it won't be difficult for us to draw another [-] troops from Chuzhou."

Yang Yan's deputy general pondered: "Of the 2 people you brought, [-] will stay in Chuzhou City. It will be no problem to transfer those people here. It will not affect the defense of the city."

Xu Nian's smile deepened: "Then let me ask again, how many troops are enough to face Tuoba Ji, not to kill the enemy, but to fight and protect oneself?"

This time it was Yang Yan who replied: "Twenty thousand troops are more than enough. This place is not far from Chuzhou. If they are deployed well, the guards of Chuzhou can rush to help, so fifteen thousand is enough."

Xu Nian nodded: "A conservative estimate is to keep 4 soldiers. At this time, there are more than 3 soldiers in the barracks. [-] soldiers will be withdrawn to join the [-] troops in Chuzhou City. The [-] troops will detour and go deep into the northern border, and fight with the monsters. Quite a teacher.
