After noon, the county magistrate's office sent officials to the Duwei Office again.

"Zhou Duwei, the county magistrate has an order to ask Zhou Duwei to bring the soldiers, officials from the Duwei Office, Wei Shi, and Gongcao to the county magistrate's office to discuss important matters."

The official said to Zhao Yu in this way, and Zhao Yu immediately frowned.

If he asked him to bring the soldiers, Wei Shi, and Gongcao from the Duwei Office to go to the county magistrate's office to discuss important matters, it must be discussing military affairs.

And what military is currently worth discussing?

It's nothing more than 'whether to take the opportunity to recover Yingyin'.

What should come will always come, and some people just want to step into this trap.

Zhao Yu cursed in his heart.

But the orders of County Governor Li must not be violated, so he immediately sent someone to notify the officials of the Duwei Office.

Soon, the officials Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Qin Wei, Jia Shu, Wei Shi Han He, Liu Jian, Gongcao Shi Wang Tao, County Chief Chen Lang and Gongcao Soldier Xun Yi all came to Zhao Yu's party room one after another.

Zhao Yu didn't say much, so he took these people straight to the county magistrate's mansion.

A moment later, the group came to the county magistrate's office. What is surprising is that in the main hall, except for the county magistrate Li and the county magistrate Song Zhu, they were also sitting in the former commander Cao Suo who faded out of Xuchang's vision during this period in the name of recuperating from the wounded at home.

How could he be here?

Xun Yi and Chen Lang looked at each other, their faces full of shock. The five people behind Zhao Yu, Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han He, Liu Jian and Wang Tao also had different expressions, but Qin Shi and Jia Shu remained unchanged - after all, these two people did not recognize Cao Suo at all.

"I am not willing to pay homage to the county magistrate."

Zhao Yu bowed to the governor of Li County without hesitation, completely ignoring Song Zhuang and Cao Suo.

County Governor Li didn't care, and waved his hand and said, "Sit, sit, sit."

Because of Song's writings, Cao Suo and others sat in the seats on the east side, Zhao Yu walked towards the seats on the west side, and all the officials behind him sat in turn.

At this time, County Governor Li said to Zhao Yu: "This time, I asked the Duwei Zhou and his colleagues from the Duwei Office to come here. There is one thing that everyone needs to discuss, that is, whether to take the opportunity to take back Yingyin’s garrison."

"It is not recommended to do that in a low position."

Zhao Yu immediately objected, but did not explain the reason.

After all, he has explained the explanation of this matter several times, and he is a little annoyed.

"Um."

County Governor Li didn't care about Zhao Yu's tone, nodded, turned to look at Cao Suo.

Cao Suo immediately understood and said in a deep voice: "Cao has heard of the false captain's argument that Yingyin was Xiang Xuan set up a trap. Please forgive me. I would not agree... If it was really Xiang Xuan's plan to lure the enemy, eight days later, would Xiang Xuan build a camp in Yingyang and build siege equipment? All signs show that Xiang Xuan is indeed going to attack Yingyang. I don't know what the false captain's purpose is unwilling to take the opportunity to retake Yingyin. I can only say that the false captain's troops are not moving, which is delaying the fighter jet."

Looking at Cao Suo with a passionate look on his face, Zhao Yu laughed and said, "Is the injury of Cao Duwei healed?"

“…”

Cao Suo was embarrassed and angry.

Everyone knows that he has no such thing as "the old injury recurs". It's just that County Magistrate Li asked him to be idle at home, so he dared not disobey. Now Zhao Yu is making fun of this false thing. Do Cao Suo dare to explain?

He dared not.

No wonder his face turned red with anger.

Fortunately, County Magistrate Li made a fuss for him: "Well, Commander Zhou and Commander Cao came here today to give me some advice."

"Is it a suggestion of defeat?" Zhao Yu slammed Cao Suo mercilessly: "From last year to this year, Cao Duwei has never beat Xiang Xuan at once. What is the value of his suggestion?"

"You..." Cao Suo's face turned red with anger.

Seeing this, Tian Qin, Liao Guang and others who were sitting on Zhao Yu's side also showed unhappiness on their faces, and they believed that they thought Zhao Yu was too aggressive.

Oh, it turns out that he is the former Chief Commander Cao Suo...

Qin Zi and Jia Shu looked at Cao Suo on the opposite side quietly, and sneered in their hearts.

At this moment, County Magistrate Li shouted unhappily: "Enough! No matter how much you say, you will come with kindness. Captain Zhou must not be rude."

This county magistrate Li is a big tree that Zhao Yu has to rely on for the shade recently. Zhao Yu naturally has to give him his face.

He immediately folded his fists and admitted his mistake: "Please forgive me."

Seeing this, County Magistrate Li nodded with satisfaction, turned to Cao Suo and said, "Okay, Commander Cao, tell me what you think."

"yes."

Cao Suo hugged his fists and then said seriously: "I think we must regain Yingyin as soon as possible. As we all know, Yingyin is only ten or twenty miles away from me, Xuchang. Since the rebels seized Yingyin, I, Xuchang, have been threatened. Today I have the opportunity to regain Yingyin. How can I miss the opportunity because of the selfishness of some people?"

"This is the way to die."

Zhao Yu said lightly: "There are more than 26,000 soldiers in Xuchang, and these soldiers are the only guarantee of Xuchang. Cao Duwei suggested that the troops be divided to capture Yingyin, but it also weakened Xuchang's defenders in disguise. As we all know, spreading out five fingers is far less powerful than clenching fists. This is the same principle when fighting. If Xuchang's defenders are stationed in Xuchang and Yingyin, then Xuchang and Yingyin will be weak, and they will undoubtedly be defeated by the rebels."

"This is a bad statement." Cao Suo immediately retorted: "Xuchang and Yingyin are only ten or twenty miles away, and can support each other and cover each other. In this way, even if the troops are divided into groups to occupy Yingyin, it will not harm Xuchang."

His confident statement sounded full of loopholes to Zhao Yu.

He sneered: "Talking about war on paper... The premise of mutual support is that the army dares to go out of the city to reinforce. Thanks to a former chief lieutenant, Xuchang's soldiers were defeated repeatedly and were weak. When they talked about the rebels, they became scared. Even Zhou did not have the confidence to take such soldiers out of the city. If they were blocked by the rebels, wouldn't they be defeated in one battle? Since they were unable to reinforce, what Cao Cao's so-called "each supportive and cover each other" was just a blank statement."

"this……"

Perhaps he hadn't expected Zhao Yu to make such a strong rebuttal, Cao Suo was a little panicked. He said with a tough bullet: "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Didn't the fake lieutenant spend a lot of money to boost morale a few days ago? As long as enough bounty is issued, wouldn't the county soldiers dare to reinforce?"

The people in the room listened quietly to the two of them.

It seems that both of them are reasonable, but in the eyes of Qin and Jia Shu, the two former rebel generals, the "Zhou Duwei" is obviously better at fighting than "Cao Duwei".

Such a person can actually become the chief lieutenant of a county?

While watching coldly, Qin Shi sneered in his heart.

In his opinion, if the commanders of Jin were all like Cao Suo, then his righteous army south of the river might be able to overthrow the tyrannical Jin.

However, when Qin Shi felt a little depressed when he thought about his current situation.

At this time, the county magistrate Song Zhuang stopped the argument between Zhao Yu and Cao Suo, and said to Li County Governor Li in a fair manner: "Mr. County Governor Zhou Duwei is right, and Cao Duwei is right, but the officials still tend to the advice of Cao Duwei... Zhou Duwei believes that seizing Yingyin will weaken Xuchang's defenders. The officials think it is too alarmist. You must know that Yingyin is only more than ten miles away from Xuchang. If things cannot be violated, Cao Duwei can withdraw Xuchang. If you miss the opportunity because of this small risk, how can you talk about repelling the rebels?... Therefore, the officials suggest that it is better to ask Cao Duwei to give it a try."

Hearing this, County Governor Li asked Cao Suo: "How many troops do you need?"

"Ten thousand." Cao Suo glanced at Zhao Yu and replied with his fists.

County Governor Li frowned and turned to Zhao Yu and asked, "Emperor Zhou, what do you think?"

If things cannot be ignored, withdrawn to Xuchang? Stupid! Xiang Xuan is determined to lure you to divide his troops to attack Yingyin, how can you allow you to withdraw to Xuchang?...Forget it, since Cao Suo is deliberately seeking death, then send him a trip. It's a pity for those ten thousand soldiers. I wonder how many people will return to Xuchang alive in the end...

Zhao Yu sighed secretly.

But at present, Li County Governor Li, Song County Governor, and former Chief Commander Cao Suo all supported the "recovery of Yingyin", and he had no choice.

In desperation, he said calmly: "The soldiers who participated in the city guarding a few days ago must not be moved lightly. Others are allowed to be selected by the Commander Cao."

Hearing this, Cao Suo frowned and said, "The soldiers who participated in the city guarding a few days ago were very strong. Zhou Duwei refused to lead them to attack Yingyin. What is the reason?"

Zhao Yu said lightly: "It's very simple. When you are defeated, I will use these soldiers to clean up the mess for you."

Cao Suo was furious when he heard this, stood up and pointed at Zhao Yu and shouted, "Zhou Hu, you are too arrogant!"

However, Zhao Yu ignored Cao Suo, stood up and clasped his fists at the Li Junmai and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, the soldiers who participated in the city guarding the city a few days ago are my last hope. If the County Magistrate handed it over to Cao Suo, Xuchang would definitely not be able to save it. If so, I would resign from the position of Duwei, so as not to wait for the flood to be taken over."

“!!”

“!!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the house was shocked.

"Um."

County Magistrate Li nodded, turned to look at Cao Suo and said, "As Zhou Duwei said, Xuchang is more important than Yingyin. For the sake of safety, you should not take the soldiers who participated in defending the city a few days ago to recover Yingyin."

"yes."

Cao Suo glanced at Zhao Yu, lowered his head and hugged his fists, and then said, "Sir, I need help from my old subordinates."

"this……"

Jung-governor Li stroked his beard and looked at the column where Zhao Yu was.

At this moment, the three soldiers, Tian Qin, Liao Guang, and the Wei Shi Liu Jian clasped their fists and said in unison: "Mr. County Governor, we beg to help Cao Duwei with one arm!"

...

County Magistrate Li frowned slightly and looked at Zhao Yu quietly, but saw that Zhao Yu ignored it, as if he had not heard what Tian Qin and the other one said, or had already expected it.

With a little surprise, he asked calmly: "Master Zhou, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu turned his head and looked at Tian Qin, Liao Guang, and Liu Jian, and then clasped his fists at the Li Junmai and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and life and death are in accordance with the will of heaven. Since the three of them hope to help Cao Duwei, the humble position will naturally not stop him."

"good."

County Magistrate Li nodded and ordered Cao Suo solemnly: "Since that's the case, I'll order you to lead 10,000 troops, take Tian Qin, Liao Guang and Liu Jian to send troops to recover Yingyin. You can decide for yourself during the whole process."

"yes."

Cao Suo responded with excitement.

With this ten thousand troops, including Tian Qin, Liao Guang and Liu Jian, he can at least be on par with Zhou Hu.

...

Looking at Cao Suo's excited expression, Zhao Yu shook his head slightly.
