Although Zhao Hao was anxious, after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed with what Yu Ping said.
The soldiers had been traveling all the way and had just experienced a great battle. They were indeed very tired and it was time for them to rest for a while.
Then, he listened to Yu Ping telling the details of how Xiao Chuyun was injured.
The anger in my heart also reached a peak.
Xie Daoxun's plan was really too cruel.
If there is a chance, this great vengeance must be avenged.
Not only for Xiao Chuyun, but also for so many soldiers who died in the battle.
Zhao Hao looked at Yu Ping and said, "General, even if we let the soldiers rest, we still need to plan ahead of time how to capture Tongshan City, right?"
Yu Ping nodded and said, "Of course, Master, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhao Hao said, "Tongshan City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although we don't need to attack from the front now, there is only a small path at the back, so the difficulty of attacking is greater than that from the front."
Tongshan is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is also a mountain road behind it.
The mountain road was narrow, and it was impossible for a large army to launch a full attack.
Take the time when Zhao Hao personally led 5,000 troops to support Tongshan. It took nearly an hour for 5,000 people to enter the city.
It can be seen how narrow and difficult this path is.
Zhao Hao continued: "If you don't choose to attack from behind, there is another way."
Yu Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Oh? Please tell me, sir!"
Zhao Hao said: "We can divide our forces and enter Shu from Luoye City, then enter Wu, and then attack Tongshan City from the front."
Yu Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Master, this method can be used."
"However, there are still many bandit soldiers in the city, at least around 200,000."
"Once they divide their forces and see that our army is weakened, there is no guarantee that they will not come out of the city to fight us."
"And if our army is divided into too few troops, it will be difficult to break through Tongshan's defenses from the front."
Zhao Hao thought about it and felt that what Yu Ping said was indeed true.
Speaking of this strategy myself, it really seems a bit far-fetched.
In terms of battlefield experience, he still has too little and cannot compare with veterans like Yu Ping.
However, Zhao Hao was not discouraged and asked, "General, do you have any method to mature?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "To be honest with you, sir, I don't have any good solution right now."
"In my opinion, this Tongshan City may not be taken down in a short period of time."
"There's nothing we can do. Tongshan City is too special."
If it were not for this, this place would not have become a place where the coalition forces suffered repeated defeats.
This time, the coalition forces finally succeeded in capturing Tongshan at the cost of more than 80,000 people.
It can be said that this was built with human lives.
After hearing what Yu Ping said, Zhao Hao didn't say anything else.
However, deep in his heart, he was somewhat unwilling to accept Yu Ping's point of view.
No matter how strong a city is, there must always be a way to capture it.
After talking briefly with Yu Ping for a while, Zhao Hao stood up and returned to his tent.
"Sir, I think you know what His Majesty means. It will be extremely difficult to take back Tongshan City."
"That's why, before the war was over, we received the order asking you to assist General Yu Ping," Wu Song said.
Judging from the timing, the decree from the Imperial Capital should have been issued before the outcome of the Battle of Yuye was decided.
Zhao Hao nodded, sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, this is giving me a difficult problem!"
"Even veterans like Yu Ping can't think of a suitable solution, so what use can I have coming here?"
Wu Song hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, maybe we can just ignore Tongshan!"
Zhao Hao's eyes moved when he heard this: "Don't care about Tongshan? What does that mean?"
Wu Song said, "Sir, we can stop thinking about counterattacking Tongshan and start a new one."
Zhao Hao quickly asked: "You mean, to open up another battlefield?"
Wu Song nodded immediately: "That's right, Wu and Shu have sent a huge number of troops this time, and the two countries' countries must be empty at this time!"
"In that case, why don't we attack the hinterlands of the two countries?"
"If we attack Shu, we can enter its territory from Luoye City."
"If we attack the Wu Kingdom, we can enter its territory from Qinzhou."
"Once we succeed in opening up a battlefield in these two countries, we will definitely have to draw a portion of the enemy forces on the Tongshan side."
Zhao Hao added: "When that time comes, we will have many choices to make."
Either way, we can set up an ambush and ambush the enemy troops that are withdrawing from Tongshan and returning to reinforce them.
It is also possible to create a loud noise to attract more reinforcements and weaken the number of enemy troops defending Tongshan.
In this way, the pressure of attacking Tongshan will be much less.
The more Zhao Hao thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
"Good plan, Brother Wu, your plan is very good!"
"Let's go and see the general again!"
The two men came to the central military tent again and told Yu Ping about the strategy they had come up with.
After listening to this, Yu Ping was relatively calm.
After pondering for a long time, he looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Master, this plan is feasible."
“But, there is a problem.”
Zhao Hao hurriedly said, "General, please speak!"
Yu Ping said: "First, who will lead the troops? Second, how many troops should be divided to accomplish this task?"
"Yes, Wu and Shu are indeed empty at the moment."
"But no matter how empty it is, it will be useless if we mobilize too few people."
"It won't make much of a splash."
"This strategy is equivalent to Monkey King getting into Princess Iron Fan's stomach."
"If there is no big movement, Princess Iron Fan will not surrender!"
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "What the general said is correct."
“I have considered both of these issues.”
"First of all, the one who leads the troops is naturally me."
"The general still has to stay here."
"Secondly, it's about the number of people."
"I think 30,000 troops are enough."
"I wonder what the general thinks!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ping smiled bitterly and said, "My Lord, it would be too risky for you to lead the troops!"
"I can't agree to that!"
Zhao Hao said, "But, there are only me and the general here, and the general cannot move without permission, so naturally I have to go!"
Yu Ping shook his head: "My Lord, your importance is not on the battlefield."
"I cannot agree to this matter no matter what. If you make the slightest mistake, I will not be able to explain to His Majesty!"
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Then let me submit a letter to His Majesty and ask for His Majesty's opinion!"
Yu Ping said, "My Lord, I bet that His Majesty will never agree to you taking the risk yourself!"
