Zhang Xiu led the troops to the north, and the army rushed all the way to Liucheng. When the army was marching, Zhang Xiu was riding on his horse. He also observed everything around him along the way.

Close to Liucheng, the place is actually more barren.

Even though Liucheng is the seat of the Royal Court of Wuhuan people, in fact, Liucheng is not very prosperous. After all, the people of Wuhuan are not like the people of Central Plains. Only those who live at the bottom do farm. As for more Wuhuan people, they kept on wandering and hunting.

Zhang Xiu saw all this in her eyes, and she was full of confidence in attacking Wuhuan.

Wu Huan, not to worry about.

Pang Tong followed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, up to now, Wu Huan has never sent troops to resist. It seems that the Wuhuan people are preparing to resist in Liucheng this time. That's good. It's convenient for us to attack Liucheng in one go. When there is no gunpowder, it is more difficult to attack a city. But now, with gunpowder, it's easy to break the gate of Liucheng. "

Zhang Xiu said: "it is not difficult to win this battle. This war is to completely destroy Wuhuan. "

Zhang Xiu is not compassionate.

When the Wuhuan people slaughtered the people on the border, Zhang Xiu killed them directly, tooth for tooth, blood for blood. Especially for Wu Huan, it is impossible to be naturalized simply by virtue. In order to assimilate the Wuhuan people, the only way is to assimilate them with iron blood.

"Newspaper!"

At this time, there was the royal guards galloping back.

Royal Guard path to Wang Yue's side, handed a letter. After reading the letter, Wang Yue showed an unexpected look on his face. He quickly came to Zhang Xiu and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a message from the royal guards lurking in Liucheng. Please read it."

Zhang Xiu took the letter and scanned it quickly.

After watching it, Zhang Xiu was surprised.

The news sent back by the royal guards is the news that Lou ban is hiding near the Bailang mountain. In this news, there are detailed information, from the identity of Lou ban to the number of troops led by Lou ban, as well as the hiding place of a group of people around Lou ban.

Zhang Xiu handed the letter to Pang Tong and said, "here, have a look."

"Here it is

When Pang Tong got the order, he quickly browsed it.

When Pang Tong finished reading it, he said, "Your Majesty, this is strange! You know, louban is also one of the leaders of Wuhuan. Even louban's strength is no less than that of Dayton. "

"What's more, under Lou ban, there are three kings, Nanlou, Su Puyan and Wuyan, who have great strength and influence. Under such a premise, the news leaked. And the news came from Liucheng, obviously from Dayton. "

"I think there are two possibilities."

Pang Tong's eyes twinkled with wisdom and said: "first, it's really a deliberate act, that is to deal with Lou ban. After all, louban is the son of Qiu Liju, which is a great threat to Wu Huan Da Danyu. It's also natural that he wants to get rid of Lou ban and solve the people who threaten his position. "

"The second one is to lure us to langdun, and then to ambush us on purpose. The reason for this news is that louban has become a bait and a trap to attract us. "

"This is my judgment."

Pang Tong's eyes were wise, and he continued: "but I think that wealth is in danger. Even if Bailang mountain is in danger, we can't miss the opportunity. It's because the opportunity will never come again. Once the opportunity to weaken the Wuhuan people is lost, it will be hard to find another opportunity. "

"Even in our plan, we can take ambush into consideration."

"Step by step calculation, completely dead floor class."

"As long as we get rid of Lou ban, it will be easier for us to deal with Wu Huan."

Pang Tong said, "please judge my humble opinion."

Zhang Xiu has a thoughtful look in her eyes.

He also has his own judgment on this war, because it is obvious that this war has thrown bait. No matter whether the bait is true or false, Zhang Xiu can't give it up, because the bait is too big.

This is a great opportunity.

Zhang Xiu looked at Ganning not far away and asked, "how far away are we from Bailang mountain?"

Ganning said: "tell your majesty, Bailang mountain is in the northeast of our country, and it is more than 100 miles away. At least, it's a day away. From where we are now, go straight to Liucheng, which is closer. On the contrary, it will be further to the Bailang mountain. "

Zhang Xiu thought in her heart.

A moment later, Zhang Xiu said again, "what's the landform of Bailang mountain?"

Gan Ning said: "the terrain of Bailang mountain is not steep, and there are no rugged roads. If you arrive at Bailang mountain, you can attack easily. But there is a problem in the direction of Bailang mountain. "

Zhang Xiu asked, "what's the problem?"

Gan Ning replied: "the roads around Bailang mountain are smooth. They extend in all directions, whether to the north, or to the East, or in other directions. Once the Wuhuan people in Bailang mountain can't resist, it is very likely that they will withdraw immediately. I'm afraid it's not easy to cover them up because the road is clear. Even if we have cavalry, but the other side is mainly cavalry, it is not easy to cover upZhang Xiu's eyes narrowed.

He is thinking about the pros and cons.

Originally, Zhang Xiu's heart, in fact, also tends to attack Lou ban in Bailang mountain. Because louban is located in Bailang mountain, as long as you kill him, the other side has no fortifications. If you work hard, you can defeat him.

The problem is that it's too easy for the other side to retreat.

Moreover, it is impossible to determine what kind of situation it is.

What if this is the trap of the Wuhuan people?

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath. After a moment, she made a decision and solemnly said, "under normal circumstances, we should attack the louban of Bailang mountain. But in fact, the strength of Liucheng is equal to that of louban. "

"The most important thing is that in his heart, he definitely thinks that we will go to Bailang mountain, and Liucheng is not defending. Once we attack, there will be less resistance

"If there is no gunpowder, it will be difficult for us to attack the city."

"But now, we have gunpowder. It's easy to break Liucheng."

"It can be said that Liucheng is just like paper paste in front of us. There is not much difficulty. Therefore, I think it is more suitable to attack Liucheng by surprise. "

Zhang Xiu said: "the most important thing is that we attack Liucheng with integrity and are not afraid of ambush. As for Bailang mountain, there may be people attacking us. Now that we know it, it is even less likely to affect us. "

"My decision is to attack Liucheng."

"Attack Liucheng by force."

"Kill Dayton first, and then solve the louban in Bailang mountain."

With a sharp look on her face, Zhang Xiu said: "this time, we surrounded Liucheng, making it difficult for the people of Liucheng to fly. And now it's more than an hour away from dusk, at most. We're on our way now, pretending to rush to Bailang mountain. In fact, we're going straight to Liucheng. Tonight, we will arrive at Liucheng and work hard to break it. "

Gan Ning zhengse way: "Your Majesty is wise, minister also agree to attack Liucheng."

Huang Zhong said, "I'm seconded!"

Pang Tong thought about it carefully and said: "from the perspective of surprise and safety, it is more reliable to attack Liucheng. Your Majesty's decision, and I agree with you. "

The rest of the people have made their stand.

Everyone agrees with Zhang Xiu's decision and is willing to attack Liucheng directly.

With a decision, Zhang Xiu began to arrange, the army began to turn, the mighty army banners, but to the direction of Bailang mountain. However, after the army turned, there was an army secretly turning to the direction of Liucheng county. With the departure of one army, Zhang Xiu left only a few to turn around with banners. Most of the rest had already gone to Liucheng.
