Wei Fuzhuo must not stay to defend the city. Judging from his attitude, he cannot put it behind his back. The risk is too great. Once he stabs him in the back at a critical moment, his life will be gone.

If Wei Fuzhuo cannot stay, he will definitely attract Zheng Yuanshou. His idea was made by Zheng Yuanshou. Even if he wants to die with Yang Xuangan, he will still be buried with Zheng Yuanshou. Besides, Zheng Yuanshou came from a wealthy family in Shandong, and Wei Fuzhuo came from the Wei family in Guanzhong. There is no trust between Shandong people and Guanlong people. Even if the two families have in-laws, political marriage cannot solve the conflict of interest. This time, Xijing came to Dongdu and wanted to destroy Dongdu. The rise and fall of Dongdu was directly related to the interests of Zheng family in Xingyang. Of course, the two sides had to fight and show no mercy.

Only Dugu Wudu is the only one who stays in the city. It is a good thing to stay in the city. After all, if you have life guarantees according to the city, it is very dangerous to go out of the city to fight in the field. There is no eye on the sword and arrow, and you will finish it by accident. But it is not a good thing for Dugu Wudu. He has a large number of troops under his tent, and it is more than enough to defend the city. The remaining troops must follow Zheng Yuanshou out of the city to fight. Under Zheng Yuanshou, it is conceivable that Zheng Yuanshou of course "uses everything" and uses the Beijing Auxiliary army to charge into battle. If this battle is burned, the army will be almost gone in the end. His children are the "children" of Dugu Wudu. Of course, he does not want to see his children die on the battlefield.

But at this point, he had expressed his firm support for Zheng Yuanshou. It was too late to regret it at this time. He could only knock down his teeth and blood, swallow his anger, and secretly scolded Zheng Yuanshou to the point of being bloody.

Wei Fuzhao cooperated with Zheng Yuanshou with a tacit understanding. The two of them sang and reconciled, and then they "legated" the important task of defending the city to Dugu Wudu.

Dugu Wudu's face was also ugly. How could I not be angry when you two slapped me in the face together? But the overall situation is the most important, I endure it. Next is a bloody battle. I see who can laugh to the end.

"Duke Xin, when will you go out of the city to attack?" Dugu Wudu asked again.

"Don't be impatient." Zheng Yuanshou shook his hand, "We first show the enemy as weak and make the illusion of perseverance. Just wait for our main army to come and the rebels outside the city are in a tough battle and it is difficult to take into account both the beginning and the end, so we will fight with all our might and give them a sudden attack. In this way, we will definitely be fatal and win in one battle."

Outside Mianchi City, on the Gushui River embankment, Li Fengyun, Li Mi, Yuan An and Zhen Baoche, Xu Shisan, Guo Ming, Xiahou Zhe and other alliance chiefs stood under the shade of the tree and were also discussing plans to attack the enemy.

Li Fengyun's sneak attack strategy was successful, but it did not win a lot of applause. His previous strategy also caused a lot of debate among the general managers, but did not win unanimous support. The focus of the debate was whether the sneak attack time was appropriate and whether the attack should be launched the first night after the Xijing army captured Mianchi.

Premature attacks will have two serious consequences. If the Xijing army advances east slowly, on the night after taking Mianchi, there are not only food, supplies, but also thousands or even tens of thousands of troops in the city of Mianchi, then the sneak attack may fail. The failure of the sneak attack means the failure of the decisive battle strategy; on the contrary, if the Xijing army advances east rapidly and the sneak attack succeeds, the Xijing army loses the food, supplies and falls into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. However, because the Xijing army does not fight hard with Yang Xuangan, the physical strength is still there, and will unfold like crazy.

Counterattack and desperately breaking out in the direction of Mianchi will cause huge losses to the Alliance army. Therefore, some general managers believe that Yang Xuangan should first lure the Xijing army to Hangu Pass, and consume the Xijing army with consecutive hard battles. Then the Alliance army sneaked into Mianchi and cut off the retreat of the Xijing army. At this time, although the Xijing army still had food, supplies and supplies, it could still support some time, but it was exhausted and it was difficult to reach the front and back attacks between Yang Xuangan and the Alliance army, so that they could win the greatest victory at the minimum price, and everyone was happy.

Li Fengyun vetoed it, and the reason was very simple. The Alliance army had no more time to stay on the battlefield of Dongdu and had to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the rapid changes in the situation, the Alliance army was very likely to be surrounded by the Guardian army and be in danger of being wiped out.

Li Fengyun took out two latest news brought by Li Mi. One news came from Yang Xuangan. There is evidence that the Donglai Navy Division was coming from reinforcements and was close to Dongdu. This is also the reason why Yang Xuangan could not wait to fight the Xijing army, and it is also the reason why the Alliance army had to leave the Dongdu battlefield as soon as possible. Another news came from Lu Mingxing, who took down Jindi Pass and opened a passage for the Alliance army to evacuate the Dongdu battlefield. However, the Korean Prime Minister and Song Yu Yijun were betrayal, crossed the natural barrier defense line, and headed south along the Tongji Canal to return to their hometown. Lu Mingxing soldier

He has limited strength and isolate and has no help. He is still sure to stick to Jindi Pass in a short period of time. However, after a long time, the Guards' army arrived from all directions, so he was unable to hold on and had to evacuate. Otherwise, he would be finished. Once Lu Mingxing evacuated Jindi Pass, the alliance army's retreat to the east was cut off, and he could only flee south to Yuzhou. From Yuzhou north, not only did the journey be long, but he also had to cross the Tongji Canal and other obstacles. It took too long, and after a long time, the variables would be great. Once the Holy Lord and the Expeditionary Force returned, the Great River waterway was blocked. This alliance army could not reach the sky or the ground, and the trouble would be great.

Li Fengyun has prestige and has given a lot of reasons. He promised with confidence that he would try his best to preserve his strength, and at the same time, he would closely cooperate with Yang Xuangan to wipe out the Xijing army. Of course, the general managers believed him, and finally reached an agreement and unconditionally followed Li Fengyun's decision.

The sneak attack was successful and the pre-war goal was achieved, but the hidden worries that the managers had worried about before also appeared one by one.

According to the prisoners' confession, Dugu Wudu, Jingzhao Zanwu Wei Fuzhu led his troops to the city that night, and some food and grass weapons were also transported into the city. This news made Li Fengyun and others attach great importance to it. After multiple verifications and verifications, it was finally determined that there were at least 5,000 guard troops in the city, and there were food and grass weapons that were enough for them to fight. Obviously, the strength of Mianchi City should not be underestimated. Zheng Yuanshou was also restrained by Dugu Wudu and Wei Fuzhu, and it was unlikely that it would shake their morale through intimidation, rumors and other means, so that they would not dare to go out of the city to fight.

"The Xijing army will soon come. When we are fighting fiercely with Wei Wensheng, the Wei army in Mianchi City will inevitably leave the city to attack, so we are attacked from both sides." Zhen Baoche stationed Tieguai with one hand and waved hard with the other, and was a little excited. "The loss of troops is second, the key is that we may not be able to stop the Xijing army. Once they break through, all their efforts will be wasted."

"The Yang brothers were blinded by hatred and insisted on rushing to the decisive battle. If they could lure the Xijing army to Hangu Pass and give us enough time to attack Mianchi, the situation would never be as critical as today." Guo Ming was also very angry, staring at Li Mi with a gloomy expression and shouting sternly.

Li Mi didn't say a word. The league chiefs only knew that the decisive battle strategy came from Yang Xuangan, but did not know that this strategy actually came from Li Fengyun. After Yang Xuangan made changes to this strategy, it was indeed unfavorable to the league, but Li Fengyun accepted it and took a lot of effort to convince the chiefs under the account. Since Li Fengyun could have experienced it for Yang Xuan's sake for the overall situation, of course he could only let the league chiefs vent their resentment.

Li Fengyun shook his hand at Guo Ming and signaled him not to lose his temper. The battlefield situation changed rapidly, who can predict the future? In his opinion, the current situation is already very good. Whether the Xijing army can completely wipe out the expected goals is not the alliance, but Yang Xuangan's side.

"There are still difficulties, but so far, we still have a lot of advantages." Li Fengyun said calmly, "We seized a large number of food and grass weapons, solved the urgent need for insufficient military supplies, and captured tens of thousands of craftsmen and civilians, greatly alleviating the difficulties of insufficient manpower. With the existing manpower, we can dig more trenches, cut down more trees to create Maluzhai, and lit fires in more places to create smoke. With these defense measures and sufficient arrows, we can not only effectively delay the opponent's attack speed, but also kill more enemies at the minimum cost."

Li Fengyun said this, looking at the people around him, and smiled easily, "The captives told me very clearly that the soldiers of Xijing only carried three days of food reserves with them. Yesterday they had consumed one day. If they had done so well, they could hold on for at most two days, that is, today and tomorrow. If they could not break out of the siege before tomorrow dusk, there was only one last way left besides surrender." Li Fengyun raised his hand and pointed to the continuous mountains in the north, "Go up the mountain and survive in death. Although most people can survive, their morale has been lost and their vitality has been damaged. Even if they barely gathered together, it will be difficult to recover their combat effectiveness in the short term. This has won Yang Xuangan enough time to enter Guanzhong west."

"But, can we hold on for two days under the enemy's front and back attack?" Zhen Baoche asked without hesitation, "Ming Gong, our opponent is the Xijing Garrison. At the critical moment of life and death, these people will burst out with extremely terrible combat power. With these trenches, resisting horses and fireworks alone, they cannot stop them. Once the two sides fall into fierce battle, our losses will be immeasurable."

Li Fengyun still smiled and patiently persuaded and comforted him, "This is a decisive battle that concerns life and death. The alliance must give all its strength, and Yang Xuangan also needs to give all his strength. We must give each other the greatest trust. Yang Xuangan believes that we can cut off the retreat of the Xijing army in the direction of Mianchi, and we must also believe that Yang Xuangan will follow the Xijing army at all costs and chase after him desperately. The faster he chases, the more fiercely he kills, the more terrified the enemy will be. In addition, rumors are everywhere, the morale of the army will be in chaos, and morale will soon collapse. How far is it from the destruction of an army without morale?"

"Mr. Ming is so confident in him?" Guo Ming was skeptical.

"Believe it." Li Fengyun smiled, "Wei Wensheng dug up the ancestral tomb of Yang's family. This is a deep hatred for blood. Wei Wensheng must die, otherwise what will the Yang brothers take to worship their ancestors?"
