"Before the meeting begins, I have a few words to say. At present, the top priority is that I, Xuchang, unite and work together to defeat the rebels led by Xiang Xuan and others, rather than attacking each other..."

After looking around at the people in the room, Li Junzhu warned with a serious expression. Although he did not name the name, everyone knew that he was referring to Zhao Yu and the commander Cao Suo.

Cao Suo lowered his head slightly towards the warning of County Governor Li, as if he had learned a lesson, and Zhao Yu at least looked obedient on the surface. As for the bottom of his heart, he didn't think that County Governor Li's warning could be as much as possible.

Of course, the governor Li didn't know what Zhao Yu and Cao Suo were thinking. Seeing that the two of them kept silent and did not talk back, he felt a little satisfied. He nodded and said, "I interrupted yesterday, Master Cao, let's talk about your second plan."

"yes."

Commander Cao Suo hugged his fists and said with a serious expression: "The second strategy for humble duties is to defend and wait for attack..."

Wait for attack with defense?

Isn't that just holding on to the death?

Not to mention that Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing, even the face of Jung Li was a little unpleasant.

Speaking of which, yesterday he was quite satisfied with Cao Suo's first strategy, but unfortunately Kunyang does not have the strength to cooperate in combat, but what is this second strategy? What is the difference from the previous one?

"You mean... to defend yourself?" County Governor Li asked calmly.

Cao Suo didn't know what he was thinking, and frowned slightly and nodded: "Yes."

Hearing this, Jung Li asked unhappily: "What's the difference between this and before?"

Cao Suo hugged his fists, glanced at Zhao Yu with a strange expression, and lowered his head and explained: "There is a difference. I, Xuchang, may be imitating Kunyang's strategy that day..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned, including Zhao Yu.

He wants to learn from the street fighting in Kunyang?

Zhao Yu showed a strange look on his face under the mask.

"Follow Kunyang..."

Jung-governor Li whispered to himself while stroking his beard, turning to look at Zhao Yu sitting in the hall.

After he appointed Zhao Yu as the commander of the army, Zhao Yu, as an official, sent the first document to Yingchuan County, namely the battle report of the Battle of Kunyang, under Xun Yi's reminder.

At that time, Xun Yi hoped that Xuchang could gain some experience from Kunyang's victory and asked Zhao Yu to record the process of the battle in detail in the battle report. Zhao Yu agreed to Xun Yi's request for various reasons and recorded the process of the battle in Kunyang and the strategies he adopted in detail in the battle report.

After the battle report was sent to Xuchang, Li Jungjung Governor Li, Cao Suo and others carefully reviewed it. Therefore, Li Jung Governor knew what method Kunyang had used to defeat the rebels.

However, can the experience of the Kunyang Battle really be applied to him Xuchang?

Although Li Junjung was not good at military affairs, he at least understood the principle of "the Tao has no constant Tao". The strategy that applies to Kunyang may not be applicable to him Xuchang.

Fortunately, the person involved in the Battle of Kunyang was in the house at this moment, so County Governor Li naturally had to ask first.

"Zhou Hu, what do you think?" He turned to look at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu looked at Cao Suo with great interest. After thinking for a while, he clasped his fists and said, "The commander said 'imitating Kunyang'. It is really difficult to judge the position of the commander. It depends on the commander's specific arrangement..."

Seeing that Zhao Yu did not take the opportunity to ridicule Cao Suo, County Governor Li nodded in satisfaction, turned to Cao Suo and said, "Prince, tell me what you think."

Cao Suo glanced at Zhao Yu quietly and said his thoughts with a thorn in his mouth.

The strategy he told, especially the street fighting, made everyone in the house stunned: Isn’t this just a copy of the Battle of Kunyang?

Even Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han and others behind Cao Suo were inevitably embarrassed at this moment.

But there was no way. Since Zhou Hu arrived in Xuchang, they discussed it privately, but did not think of a feasible strategy. They could only refer to the street fighting tactics adopted during the Battle of Kunyang - after all, that was at least verified.

Because of shame and anger in his heart, when Zhao Yu looked at them, the few of them felt a burning heat on their faces, and they were ashamed to look at each other.

However, in order to preserve Cao Suo's position as the chief lieutenant, they had no other way.

A moment later, when Cao Suo gritted his teeth and said the last word, the whole house was silent.

...

Jung Li was quite disappointed.

He thought Cao Suo's second strategy would have something new, but he didn't expect that it would be a copy of Zhou Hu's original strategy in Kunyang - if so, then why should I use you Cao Suo? Wouldn't it be better to use Zhou Hu? At least this strategy was proposed by Zhou Hu, and Zhou Hu also defeated the rebels with this strategy.

But after thinking for a while, County Governor Li did not scold anything, but turned around and asked Zhao Yu as if nothing had happened: "Zhou Hu, do you think it is feasible?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Zhao Yu shook his head slightly.

Hearing this, Cao Suo and Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han and others behind him could no longer hide their faces.

You know, they were forced to bite the bullet and copy the tactics of Kunyang to fight the rebels that day. However, unexpectedly, the person involved who proposed this plan said it was not feasible, which made them even more ashamed and angry.

The sergeant Liao Guang couldn't help but said with shame and anger: "Is the commander of the Zhou Shangmen who made things difficult for him?"

"Oh."

Zhao Yu chuckled, too lazy to pay attention to Liao Guang, turned to Li County Magistrate and clasped his fists and explained: "Mr. County Magistrate, there is no way, and no way, and the soldiers have no way. Last year, I adopted street fighting strategy because I saw that Guan Shuo intended to seize Kunyang so that his army could spend the winter safely. Then this year, as his stronghold for attacking Ye County, I was sure that he would not set fire to the city, so I dared to take street fighting... But the situation in Xuchang is completely different from the Kunyang at the time. First of all, it is summer now, and the rebels do not need to consider the problem of "wintering the city", even if they stay overnight in the wilderness, there is no problem; secondly, Xiang Xuan

By the time the rebels have occupied Yingyin, Changshe, Yanling and Linying counties, even if a fire burns Xuchang all over, they can still spend the winter in those four counties when winter comes. Considering these two points, I think Cao Duwei and others follow the street fighting strategy proposed by Kunyang, which is just a tactic of talking about war on paper. It seems feasible, but it is actually not feasible... If I were Xiang Xuan, I would not have any street fighting with Xuchang at all. I would have blocked Xuchang outside the city and wait for Xuchang to break through. Why bother to fight the street fighting? Not to mention, the rebels suffered a great loss in Kunyang last year, so how could they be fooled?"

"Um."

Seeing that Zhao Yu clearly explained the infeasibility of street fighting, County Governor Li nodded repeatedly when he heard this.

Seeing this, Cao Su and his men were a little panicked. The sergeant Tian Qin immediately explained: "Street fighting is just the last helpless method. Since it is not feasible, then you should defend the city..."

Hearing this, Jung Li turned to look at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu immediately understood and shook his head and said, "It is not advisable to just stick to it.... Maybe Xuchang's food is enough, so what about firewood? Did Xuchang prepare in advance the firewood needed for the military and civilians in the city to boil water and cook rice every day?"

Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han and a few people were speechless.

Since ancient times, we have been defending the city, not only rice, but also water is the most important thing. There is also firewood. Without firewood, the military and civilians in the city can only drink raw water and eat raw rice. It is okay for a short time, but after a long time, there will definitely be problems.

In fact, Cao Suo, Tian Qin and others did not understand this. The problem was that the rebels around Xuchang were very careful. They really had no way to send a large number of people to cut down trees as firewood, so they could only secretly send some soldiers to do it. Once the rebels heard the news, they immediately retreated into the city.

In this case, how much firewood can he accumulate in Xuchang?

"What should the commander of the Zhou army thinks to do?" Wei Shihanhe asked back.

Hearing this, Zhao Yu laughed and said, "Your Majesty said, "You are not in his position, you will not be able to do your job... Yesterday I just sat in the wrong seat of Cao Duwei, and I was coldly spoken by you. How dare I take away the errands of Cao Duwei today?"

Cao Suo, Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han and others were furious, but they couldn't say anything.

However, Zhao Yu's words also made Li Junjun Governor feel a little unhappy. He said in a deep voice: "Zhou Hu, I said that at present, I, Xuchang, should unite and fight against the rebels together. If you have any plan, say it quickly."

"yes."

Zhao Yu didn't want to turn against Li Jun Magistrate, and he clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Magistrate, I told you about your suggestions on low-level positions yesterday..."

Hearing this, Chen Lang, who was sitting at Zhao Yu's lower head, was shocked and quickly turned to look at County Governor Li.

What made him secretly shocked was that a subtle look appeared on his face.

Zhou Hu didn't mess with me this time. He had indeed put forward the suggestion of "abandoning Xuchang" to the county magistrate...

Chen Lang, who was secretly shocked, couldn't help but seep out of his forehead, which surprised Song Zhu, the county magistrate who had been secretly paying attention to him.

"That matter...don't mention it again."

Under Chen Lang's secret observation, County Governor Li hesitated for a moment, vaguely revealed the words, and then frowned and asked Zhao Yu, "I only ask you, are you sure to defeat the rebels?"

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "The threat faced by Xuchang is even worse than that of Kunyang on that day, and he dare not make arbitrary judgments. However, if the governor of Li ordered me to command the soldiers in the city, he would be willing to try it..."

Hearing these ambitions, Cao Suo and the others suddenly changed their qualities, and Liao Guang even shouted angrily: "Zhou Hu, how dare you..."

"Stop it all!"

Before Liao Guang could finish speaking, he heard the angrily shouting from the county magistrate Li, which was so shocked that Liao Guang did not dare to say anything again.

I saw the governor of County Li look at Zhao Yu, then look at the commander Cao Suo with panic on his face, and reach out to rub his forehead.

"I am tired, please step down first... Zhou Hu, stay."

"yes!"

Everyone, including Zhao Yu, stood up to salute.

Immediately, except Zhao Yu, the rest of the people left the house one after another.

As soon as he arrived outside the house, the county magistrate Song Zhu called Chen Lang, who was a little distracted: "Chen Changshi, can you easily speak with one step?"

Looking back at the room, Chen Lang nodded slightly.
