After Li Jing's analysis, Li Chengfeng nodded slightly and said, "300,000 troops is enough, that's enough!"
"Then I shall now state my second method!"
"Secondly, I don't know, have you heard of Zhuge Liang's empty city plan?"
After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Li Jing's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Oh? Empty city plan? Please tell me, Eighth Prince, how is the empty city method?"
At this moment, not only Li Jing, but also many generals on the side were quietly listening to Li Chengfeng's analysis.
They all put down the wine glasses in their hands and stopped drinking, afraid of making mistakes.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "The empty city strategy is very simple!"
"That is, let's open all the three gates of Youhaiguan, Chenghaiguan, and Luotuguan, and open the city gates to create a feeling that there is no one in the city!"
"Afterwards, we led 300,000 troops directly to the lairs of Jue and the Tubo allied forces, killed their soldiers, and burned their food and grass! Then, we shot back and surrounded the Tubo allied forces from behind, killing them by surprise. , General Li Jing, what do you think of this method?"
Li Jing frowned, thought for a while, and said, "That's good, but, an empty city plan? Isn't it obvious that the sudden alliance army invaded our Youzhou City?"
"Yes, our bet is that they dare not attack. They are afraid that we will have an ambush in the city, so they dare not attack rashly! And at the moment when they hesitated, we had already destroyed their lair and robbed them of their food. Burn it! So as long as we burn their food and grass, this battle will last forever!"
"Hmm... But, it's not right!"
Li Jing still shook his head.
He is not a person who is very adventurous. For this battle, Li Jing only wants to win steadily.
But if you want to win with fewer enemies and more enemies? Easier said than done!
Li Jing opened his mouth and said, "Eighth Prince, although your strategy of using an empty city is good, it is too risky!"
"In case the Tumeng is not fooled and they directly invade our Youzhou City! Then what we burn is only their food and grass, and what we lose is indeed a Youzhou City. In this case, our loss is even greater, so this An adventurous approach, the veteran thinks, is not appropriate!"
Li Jing's head shook like a rattle.
Not to mention that Li Chengfeng's method was not good, but that it was not at a critical moment. Such a method was too risky, and if it failed, it would be a benevolent one. Either the Turkic food and grass would be burned, or the Tang Dynasty would lose Youzhou City.
Relatively speaking, Li Jing was naturally more reluctant to lose Youzhou City in Datang.
After all, as the commander-in-chief, he only wanted to protect Youzhou City at the moment.
From the beginning to the end, Li Jing never thought about how to wipe out the 500,000 coalition troops of the Tumeng.
Because in his eyes, without 1 million troops, this is basically an impossible thing to accomplish!
At this time, Li Chengfeng became a little angry, and shouted: "This is not right, that is not right! Then, General Li Jing, what do you mean, we are only playing defense now, and we are not allowed to attack?"
Li Jing sighed, shook his head bitterly, and said, "Sigh, fighting will only waste people and money. If you want to repel the 500,000 allied forces of the Sumeng League, impeachment is easy!"
"Eighth Prince, don't be angry. It's not that the old officials dare not fight with Tumeng. It's that the old officials are thinking about the lives of the people in Youzhou City and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty! They also have sons and daughters, so they can try to avoid it Casualties should be avoided as much as possible!"
Seeing the sad look on Li Jing's face, Li Chengfeng also sighed slightly.
In fact, Li Jing can't be blamed for this. After all, the lives of the people in Youzhou City are in his hands. How dare he do those risky things?
Although Li Chengfeng's strategy is good.
If it succeeds, everyone will be happy, if not, then the sky will be bloodied.
Li Chengfeng nodded his head slightly, which can be regarded as understanding Li Jing's mood at the moment.
Li Chengfeng continued to speak, and said: "General Li Jing, there is one last solution, do you still want to listen?"
"Old minister, all ears!"
Li Jing cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Li Chengfeng.
Not to mention, Li Chengfeng traveled thousands of miles from Chang'an City to Youzhou City to support them, just relying on Li Chengfeng's status as the eighth prince to advise them, Li Jing dared not listen, had to.
Li Chengfeng continued: "There is a third method, and it is also the last method!"
"That is, we send people to the logistics office of the Sumeng army to burn their food and grass. This method is the simplest and most straightforward, and it is also the best way to act!"
"Here, Eighth Prince, in fact, we have already tried your method! But it doesn't work!"
Li Jing sighed, continued to shake his head, and said: "Actually, at the first moment, the old minister asked General Cheng Yaojin to lead ten thousand soldiers to the logistics office of the Sumeng League and burn their food and grass! But, how is this a thing? Such an easy thing!"
"The Turkic people are very smart They are far smarter than we imagined. They have already set up heavy guards in their logistics and food, and we can't break through at all! The last time General Cheng Yaojin They almost returned home wounded, because they knew that we would send troops to burn their food and grass, so they actually set up an ambush in advance, and almost wiped out the entire army of General Cheng Yaojin!"
"So, this method is feasible, but it is too difficult! Without enough troops and the right time and place, we will only fall into their tricks if we go to burn their food and grass!"
"So we can only play defensive battles?"
Li Chengfeng raised his head and looked at Li Jing with firm eyes.
Li Jing looked slightly compassionate, nodded, and said, "Yes, Eighth Prince, thank you for your three opinions to the old minister, but that's all for now. Playing a defensive battle is our best way out!"
Alas, Li Jing is still too conservative.
However, it is difficult for him to take the lives of the entire Youzhou City people on his shoulders.
It's not that he doesn't dare to take risks, but that he can't.
If the action fails and the plan fails, resulting in the entire city of Youzhou being occupied by the Tumeng, then Li Jing will become a sinner through the ages.
After talking with Li Jing, Li Chengfeng also felt that the pressure on Li Jing's shoulders was too great.
So Li Chengfeng took a deep breath and said, "General Li Jing, why don't we follow the third method! Of course, you just leave this task to me, how about it?"
Li Chengfeng smiled lightly.
Because he is sure that he will use his 3000 Xuanjia army to burn the enemy's food and grass.
If it doesn't work, just blow it up.
There were ten fraudulent bombs on hand, a total of 30,000 fraudulent bombs, which overwhelmed the Allied Forces of the Turks.
