C104 (1/2)

After Huangfu Song finished speaking, everyone quieted down, as if they were all thinking of a plan. Only those war horses would wave their heads and tail to chase away the mosquitoes on their bodies. Everyone knew the weight of this battle in their hearts. If they won, they would be rewarded for their meritorious service. If they lost, their reputation would be ruined, and they would suffer for thousands of years. For a long time, no one said a word.

Seeing that no one spoke, Huangfu Song was unavoidably anxious, Lu Zhi's fate was extremely shocking, although he had already defended Lu Zhi and pleaded for Lu Zhi to stand up for him, in truth, wasn't he still leaving a path for himself? In his heart, he was more anxious than anyone else, and he couldn't help but look at Yuan Shao who was the closest to him.

He had to admit that Yuan Shao was born to be a good person. No matter what standards he had, Yuan Shao was always considered to be a beautiful man, with a delicate face, valiant looks, and well-dressed clothes. He was truly handsome and mighty, and the current Yuan Shao, who was not even thirty years old, was the idol of all the middle-aged women. In the end, he was still a disciple of the Scholars and Wealthy Classes. His demeanor and temperament made him look like a nobleman. Seeing Huangfu Song's eyes, Yuan Shao knew that it was time for him to show off.

”There are many ways to fight: those who are good at using troops will be forced to fight, not fight, and they will be pulled out of the city of men and not attack it.” Now that there were two hundred and fifty thousand people gathered in Yellowtowel rebel, they had to guard the lone city for a long time. As long as my Imperial army surrounding Wan City, Zhang Mancheng will not be able to fly to the sky, once he runs out of food, he will definitely surrender. ”

Huangfu Song's face did not reveal any expression, he just stared at the walls of the Wan City and slowly listened to Yuan Shao's story. After waiting for a moment, a bitter smile appeared on Zhang Xuan's face.

”You're right, there will definitely be a day when Zhang Mancheng can't hold on for much longer. But Zhang Mancheng robbed all the counties in Nanyang, so the grain stored there could last for as long as a year. Could it be that we still need to surround the entire place for a year? ”

Yuan Shao's fair face blushed a little, as if he was rubbing rouge on it. He turned his face away resentfully, looking at the clouds in the sky. The weather was very good today. The clouds were thin, drifting back and forth in all sorts of shapes. There wasn't the slightest hint of quietness.

Yuan Shu, who was standing not too far away, felt Huangfu Song's gaze sweeping over him. He was a little nervous, his skinny little face couldn't help but twitch a few times. Knowing that he would not be able to escape this trial today, he coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and told his of his plan.

”The walls of the Wan City are tall and sturdy. Furthermore, there are many people guarding the city, making it difficult for ordinary siege equipment to work. I thought that it would be better to dig the soil and build a wall to attack the city, and the ants will follow along to snatch the Wan City. ”

He never thought that Yuan Shu would have such a high skill. It was impossible for him to be a fool if he became a tyrant, digging out the soil and building the dike, and then sending his soldiers to swarm over. It seemed like he had even talked about military strategy before. Of course, Huangfu Song knew that this was a good idea. He looked at Yuan Shu and smiled faintly.

”It's a good idea, but how long will it take to build an earthen wall that goes directly to the city wall, and how many men will it take to recruit?” We can afford to wait, but the Emperor can't. Without waiting for us to finish building the dike to break through the Wan City, the ministers of the imperial government would probably attack us to the point of nullification. ”

Hearing Huangfu Song's evaluation of his scheme, Yuan Shu was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he did not express it on his face. He turned his head, and just saw a group of birds flying towards him, he seriously counted, and realised that one of them seemed to be injured.

Needless to say, Cao Cao was next. Obviously, while Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were talking, Cao Cao was also thinking. Amongst the few generals of the younger generation, Cao Cao was the one who was slightly older, and also seemed to be more mature, with complete confidence in his abilities. When Huangfu Song looked over, Cao Cao cupped his fists and bowed towards Huangfu Song.

”Lord General, the walls of the Wan City are sturdy, it is easy to defend but hard to attack. I thought I could use the tactic of tiring the enemy. I divided the army into groups and attacked the city on a daily basis. Wait till xanthopanax is tired, then take advantage of the night to launch a sneak attack, and destroy the enemy in one go. ”

This was truly a high-leveled move. In any case, the power to attack was in the hands of the government. If they wanted to attack, they could attack; if they wanted to rest, they could. As long as they were attacking the city, the Emperor would probably not say anything. Whether they attacked or not was a matter of attitude, while whether they could attack or not was a matter of ability. Huangfu Song nodded for the first time, as if he was satisfied with Cao Cao's suggestion.

”This idea is not bad, we can let go of three sides and only attack one. If the xanthopanax has a chance to escape, we will definitely not defend, maybe we will have a chance. And you guys, tell me about your methods as well. ”

Huangfu Song raised his head and coincidentally saw Sun Jian. Sun Jian was frowning, staring at the Wan City walls, as if he was thinking about something, and did not notice that Huangfu Song was looking at him. After a moment, perhaps thinking that no one was speaking, he realized that everyone was looking at him, and his face reddened slightly.

”Lord General, I am wondering, can we dig a tunnel and enter the city? Digging a few tunnels, would not take long, and would not take many people. If they were to suddenly fight their way out of the city, it would definitely catch Yellowtowel rebel off guard. ”

It seemed like there was a way to do it, but digging was much faster than building a dike. Since ancient times, there had been many battles that had succeeded. However, digging a tunnel was not something that could be done in a day or two, and there were many ways to break the tunnel. Huangfu Song also nodded, showing his agreement with Sun Jian's idea.

”It's also a good idea. I just wonder if there are any experts in the xanthopanax who knows how to deal with the tunnels.”
