After ten days of military reorganization and establishing prestige, the three Tang armies had basically finished grinding together, and Li Ji also had a certain prestige.
But what Li Ji didn't know was that after ten days of slow marching, he had already lost the initiative in this battle.
Just ten days ago, Li Chengdao held a military meeting to formulate a strategy.
As soon as the meeting was held, all the generals locked their eyes on Han Xin.
"Advisor, please make a decision on how to fight this battle!" Li Chengdao looked at Han Xin and said.”
Han Xin bowed and said to Li Chengdao,""Since the lord has instructed, then let me tell you my thoughts!”
He looked at the generals around him and said,"Our army will defend the city in this battle!"”
What? Defend the city?
As soon as he said this, the entire hall exploded.
The Liangshan heroes and the Youzhou army were not happy.
Li Ji only had 100,000 troops, and among them were Zhang Liang's 20,000 remaining soldiers.
In Youzhou City, there were 50,000 troops of Liangshan and 30,000 Youzhou troops, totaling 80,000 troops.
In terms of military strength, he was not at a disadvantage at all. Han Xin actually said that he would hide in his shell like a turtle.
Moreover, Li Chengdao and the Thirteen Gangsters were invincible on horseback. If they defended the city, it would be equivalent to cutting off one of their arms.
Did this Han Xin know how to use troops? Everyone began to doubt him again.
Han Xin looked at Li Chengdao confidently and ignored the others.
Li Chengdao had absolute trust in Han Xin. If the Immortal Soldier still had doubts about the use of troops, then there was no need to fight this war.
He smiled at Han Xin and said,"Advisor, I know you must have other intentions. There's no need to keep us in suspense."”
"My parents gave birth to me, and my lord knows me!" Han Xin laughed.“
As he spoke, he pointed at the map and said,"The victor of this battle against Li Ji is here!”
Everyone looked at the location Han Xin was pointing at, Hekou Town.
Not understanding anything, Luo Yi frowned and said,""Hekou Town is a small town 30 miles away from Youzhou Province. It's nothing special.”
Han Xin clapped and said to Luo Yi,"General Luo is indeed worthy of being a famous general of the current era.”
"In this decisive battle, please lead the army to defend Youzhou City. I believe that you will lead 20,000 cavalry as foreign aid.”
Everyone was still confused. Chao Gai asked,"Then what does this have to do with Hekou Town?”
Han Xin smiled and said nothing. He said to Li Chengdao,"Lord, please allow me to keep you in suspense!”
Li Chengdao's trust in Han Xin was infinitely close to blind obedience, and he subconsciously nodded in agreement.
"These few days, please gather 20,000 young men from Youzhou City to help defend the city," continued Han Xin.”
Recruiting young men? Even if they took away 20,000 cavalrymen, Youzhou City still had at least 60,000 men, which was enough to defend the city. Why did they recruit young men?
Luo Yi said to Han Xin," Military Advisor, the young men in the city haven't been trained. They're completely useless on the battlefield. They'll even be a hindrance!"”
"General Luo Yi, you don't have to worry at all. Li Ji won't attack the city at all. These young men are just for show!"”
For show? What was he doing? No one present knew what Han Xin wanted to do.
Li Chengdao was also a little confused and asked,"Advisor Jun, what happened? Can you make it clear?!"
"Li Ji has learned about the previous two great wars, so he will definitely understand what kind of person the lord is!”
"I don't even know what kind of personality I have!" Li Chengdao asked with a smile.”
"In the first battle, my lord took the initiative to annihilate Yuchi Jingde's 5,000 cavalry," said Han Xin with a smile.
In the second battle, he brought the Thirteen Gangsters to attack Zhang Liang's camp at night.
These two battles showed that the lord liked to take the initiative to attack and press forward.”
"So what if he knows me?" Li Chengdao said with a smile.”
"If my lord were to preside over this battle, what would you do?" Han Xin asked.“
"Gather the troops and lead the entire army to kill his mother!”Li Chengdao blurted out.
"This is the lord's personality, but what if the lord is doing the opposite?" Han Xin laughed.
Instead of taking the initiative to attack, they hid in the city!
What would Li Ji think?"
Li Chengdao thought for a moment and said,"He will think that there is a trap!"”
" That's why I'm sure that Li Ji won't attack the city at all," Han Xin nodded and said." The reason why we summoned the young men to defend the city was to confuse Li Ji and give him an illusion!”
"What illusion?" Li Chengdao asked, puzzled.”
"That is, the main force of our army is outside Youzhou City, preparing to ambush Li Ji!”
