The big guys in the temple studied the most not the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry, songs, but human nature.

After experiencing it, you will find that all military tactics throughout the ages have been written based on human nature. People who are familiar with military tactics and flexibly apply them understand and are very good at taking advantage of the weaknesses of human nature.

The group of people above the temple are among the best.

Zhi County has high walls and sharp artillery, and the Wei army took it down and suffered heavy casualties. Facing Xi'e and the stronger Wancheng, Cao Cao would never take the same approach again. He could not bear the loss too much.

If you don’t attack forcefully, you can only find another way. A group of people spontaneously took over themselves as Cao Cao’s role and began to think about what to do next if he was Cao Cao.

Among the civil and military officials in the court, Jia Xu was the one who studied human nature the most profoundly. Seeing that everyone did not speak for a long time, Liu Bei turned his eyes to Jia Xu and asked with a smile: "Wenhe, what do you think?"

After being named, he could not continue to hide behind as an invisible person. Jia Xu was reluctant to leave the list and said, "Your Majesty, the military strategy is about avoiding the enemy's strengths and attacking the enemy's weaknesses. I think that instead of thinking about Cao Cao's movements here, Your Majesty should think about his weaknesses."

"weakness?"

Liu Bei closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a few breaths, he opened it suddenly and exclaimed: "Huainan, Shouchun?"

Shouchun is his place of dragon success and the old capital of the Southern Han Dynasty. If it falls into Cao Cao's hands... Liu Bei dared not think about it anymore.

This time he went on an expedition, he drew all his troops except the navy. Now there are only seven or eight thousand remaining troops in Huainan. It is difficult for Zhang Liao to guard Guangling, let alone the main force of the Wei army who defended Cao Cao. If Cao Cao really changed his way to attack Huainan, the consequences would be unimaginable. At least his plan to consume the Wei army based on Wancheng was ruined.

The others also took a breath when they heard this, looking at Jia Xu with admiration.

The veteran is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is always sharp.

Liu Bei quickly calmed down and continued to ask: "With Wenhe's opinion, how should we deal with it now?"

Jia Xu is a famous poison warrior. He has the ability, but he is too afraid of death. He has been working under his command for many years and does not work hard and does not hit him. This old man can be so vulgar that he lies in the coffin.

Jia Xu glanced at Liu Bei resentfully and said, "Report to Your Majesty, with my understanding of Cao's thief, his attack on Huainan might just be just pretending, and his purpose will naturally force our army to leave the city and fight in the field. Of course, if our army has been holding on to the city and not leaving, he can naturally turn virtual into real and really go to Huainan for a walk."

"So our army is better to prepare for both. First, we are preparing to go out of the city to fight the Wei army, but most of the Wei army are cavalry. If we fight on the plains, our army is too disadvantageous. We must think of some method of defeating the cavalry with swords. For example, the iron armored Chechen built by Liu Yegang is good. Second, we will send a general to guard Huainan to ensure the safety of the situation."

After Jia Xu, others also spoke, and made suggestions based on him, saying that they would add some more materials to the armored car so that it could not only defend but also attack the enemy.

If there is a shield, there must be a spear. Once the decisive battle of the Wei army, the armored chariot must come into battle. I have to find a way to break the opponent's armored chariot.

It is also said that Zang Ba had the opportunity to escape, but the reason why he was killed was because Chen Xiazi's mountain brigade drilled in from the sewer, blocking Zang Ba's retreat. Therefore, the sewer in Wancheng must be guarded against and cannot repeat the same mistakes.

I also said... there are a lot of messy suggestions, but as for how many of them are useful, they are worth discussing.

Although Liu Bei was so quarreled that he was too embarrassed to interrupt him, which would undermine the enthusiasm of his ministers. He had to listen patiently and discuss with everyone one by one. After confirming, he asked: "You guys think, who is the most suitable person to guard Huainan?"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and I stop talking.

The importance of Huainan to the Southern Han court is self-evident. The same is true for the Wei Dynasty. If Cao Cao does not attack, he will stop. Once he attacks, he will definitely do his best.

They all know the power of the Cao family's father and son. If the person they recommend is defeated, they will be implicated.

The hall fell silent again. Seeing that no one responded, Zhang He was eager to recommend himself, but Yuan Shao glared back at a glance.

No one else moved, why are you joining in the fun?

Liu Bei saw Yuan Shao's small movements, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes and quickly disappeared. Just as he was about to call the general himself, a messenger quickly ran into the hall and knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, just after receiving the news, Cao Ren got an iron armored chariot and attacked Li County. General Zhou Yu was defeated, and had abandoned the city and retreated towards Wancheng."

"Li County was also lost?"

Liu Bei suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

After saying that, he realized that he was a little out of control and asked with a cold face: "How far is General Zhou Yu from Wancheng and how long will he be able to come back?"

The messenger replied: "It will be back soon after less than twenty miles."

"Let him come to see me immediately."

Liu Bei ordered and leaned against the chair and fell into deep thought.

What I was thinking about was naturally the matter of the Huainan garrison. Li County had lost too much and thought it was useless, but Huainan was still in his hands and said that he could not lose anything again. Who would I send to guard?

There are four candidates, Guan Yu, but Guan Yu is too arrogant and cannot stand it. Cao Ang is a product with an unethical and smokeless person and no lower limit. Guan Yu may not be able to get along with him, so he will rule it out.

The second Ji Ling, Ji Ling, was a general under Yuan Shu in the past, and was familiar with the terrain of Huainan. He was a good candidate, but it also depends on who the opponent was. He was not sure about the Cao family's father and son. Huainan was too important to take risks and ruled out.

Third, Zhang He was very serious and fought with the Cao family father and son. You can try it, but Yuan Shao... Yuan Shao has completely eliminated his intention to fight for the world and just wanted to live in the position of the Grand Commander to die. He would not take any risk. If he said something and did something, it would easily affect Zhang He's judgment, so Zhang He also ruled it out.

It seems that there is only one suitable candidate left after thinking about it.

Liu Bei made a decision in his heart, but did not say it clearly. He had a casual chat with everyone. After waiting for half an hour, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai and the other two walked in under the leadership of the messenger.

When they walked to the center of the hall, the three of them knelt on one knee. Zhou Yu said, "I am incompetent and unable to defend Li County. Please give up your crime."

Liu Bei stood up and helped him up and smiled, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Gongjin doesn't have to blame himself. You should have a few days off after you returned from the war. However, the military situation is urgent, so I have to work hard for you. Now I have an important task to hand over to you. I wonder if Gongjin is willing or not?"

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Your Majesty has given me the order, and I will go through fire and water."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Now, all the Zhixian County of Bowang have been lost. Although our army was defeated, the Wei army also suffered great losses. Moreover, the continuous attacks of the city have become exhausted. The possibility of attacking Wancheng is not high. With the character of Cao thief, it is very likely that he will turn around to attack Huainan. If he defends the river, he must defend Huainan. If Huainan cannot lose, he must send a general with both wisdom and courage to guard it. After thinking about it, you are the most suitable. I wonder if Gongjin dares to take on this important task?"
