Xu Shu was fortunate to be Kou Yan's most trusted person, and he saw her extremely contradictory character. It can be seen that she is being troubled and tormented by this character. He hopes to change her through his own efforts.

It's a pity that he still decided to be at a loss because of his lack of experience, and Kou Yan cried, so he didn't know what to do. "Yan'er, don't cry. There are still many things waiting for you to do!" Xu Shu said softly.

Kou Yan heard it in his ears, and subconsciously wanted to hold back his tears, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't hold it back, but let the crying turn into sobs: "Well, disciple, disciple understands." "Okay, okay......" Xu Shu really couldn't speak, so he could only keep repeating.

It was easy for Kou Yan to regain his composure, and the two resumed their final discussions on the new plan proposed by Xu Shu. Xu Shu's plan was very bold, so bold that Kou Yan didn't dare to think about the probability of success of this plan, because in her eyes, the success rate of this plan was too slim.

Abandon the city of Jianchang, concentrate superior forces, and attack Chaisang. You must know that Chaisang's geographical location is closest to the Yangtze River, which means that the enemy has a convenient enough way to retreat, and it is the farthest away from Changsha City, and there is a Shangyu in the middle. To attack it, not to mention the long journey, the secrecy is not guaranteed, after all, it is too far to go by land or water.

When the Changsha army took a long detour, traveled thousands of miles, was blessed by God, was not discovered, and arrived safely under Chaisang City, Kou Yan felt that Jianchang City had already been made dumplings. What if Zhou Yu is really forced out at that time? Jianchang has already changed hands, and this is the most unacceptable thing for Kou Yan at present.

Therefore, the more Kou Yan looked at it, the more he felt that he had no bottom in his heart. But the teacher looked confident, and told her to look at this war with leisure. She ordered herself to listen to the teacher's words, but her heart couldn't be settled, otherwise she wouldn't have dug up the shortcomings of other people's doors so ungracefully in front of Lu Su.

It is all because in her heart, Jianchang is very important, this is the proudest record she has obtained since she left Xinye and independence, and it is the first perfect score report card she has obtained. How can you say that if you throw it away, you will throw it away?

What's more, she has just appointed Ma Tong as the Taishou of Jianchang, and if Jianchang returns to the arms of Soochow in a blink of an eye. Wouldn't all the efforts she had made before be in vain? Why should the officials below, especially the Ma brothers, believe her again?

It was because of these hesitations that Kou Yan looked at the bamboo slips over and over again, and refused to put down the pen for a long time. Seeing this, Xu Shu on the side gently moved away from the candlestick, and the change of light woke up the disciple who was wandering at the crossroads. Kou Yan looked up at his teacher dreamily: "Teacher?"

"Since you are hesitant, let's put it down first. Talk about your earliest thoughts, and don't let the way of thinking as a teacher distract you. As a teacher, you have your own independent judgment. Xu Shu picked up the clay pot on his side and poured tea for his disciple himself.

"I, I don't know what's best. I just want to keep Jianchang alive, I don't want it to be taken back by the thieves of Soochow. "Kou Yan obviously lacks confidence. Then he hurriedly added: "Teacher, please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this battle plan of yours is bad, I mean...... It's ......"

"Yes" for a long time, Kou Yan stopped in despair, she didn't have the right words to express what she wanted to say in her heart, because she didn't know what "is" exactly.

Xu Shu raised his hand and interrupted his disciple's words: "The teacher understands, even if you don't say it, the teacher understands." Do you think that Chaisang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Yangtze River waterway is accessible, and we do not have the vital force to quickly annihilate the enemy army, so it will not play a role in the entire battle situation?"

"Yes" Kou Yan nodded and admitted, this was indeed her worry: "It's the disciple who is only shallow in learning, and can't appreciate the teacher's layout." ”

"You're right to be worried. Xu Shu smiled and nodded. The tone is gentle, even with a faint smile. Chaisan is indeed not easy to attack, but I still have to attack it, and I will attack it with all my might. Xu Shu said.

"I, I wonder why. Kou Yan asked. "I thought that Jianchang and Haidu, the people's hearts were not aligned. Xu Shu gave the disciple an answer that was not an answer. "The disciple doesn't understand......" Kou Yan looked at the teacher in confusion: "Please make it clear to the teacher." ”

"Actually, you know, it's usually so smart. Xu Shu said with a smile. "The disciple is not smart at all. Kou Yan lowered his head and said, "The disciple is getting more and more confused." ”

Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "Yan'er...... Okay, if you want to listen, I will tell you for the teacher, the people of Jianchang are not aligned, and they cannot be cohesive without strong pressure. In less than thirty or fifty years, you don't want the people of Jianchang to really belong to you. ”

Kou Yan listened carefully, Xu Shu's tone was always gentle and elegant, slowly narrating his thoughts, Kou Yan vaguely felt his sharp temperament hidden under the appearance of politeness. Under the influence of this temperament, the uneasiness in Kou Yan's heart miraculously dissolved.

The teacher is worthy of being a teacher, and the teacher's elegance and gentleness are all to his own people, to the enemy and the enemy people, he is ruthless, and some methods are even cruel. And these means and attitudes should have been possessed by Kou Yan, a superior person.

Kou Yan suddenly began to rejoice that the teacher had formed a master-apprentice relationship with her, and he would do his best to plan for her. The teacher told her from the bottom of his heart that the statecraft and military strategy learned from books are essentially based on the premise of conquering the enemy, and in order to achieve this premise, some extreme measures need to be taken when necessary.

Because I subconsciously believe that what the teacher said is right, I have always believed in him. Therefore, from Xu Shu's mouth, Kou Yan didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but listened to it very attentively, and every bit of it was imprinted in his mind, and he nodded frequently thoughtfully.

Seeing her like this, Xu Shu's face and eyes were full of smiles: "Tong Guò's subordinates' statements, do you still feel uneasy, Lord Taishou?"

Kou Yanteng blushed suddenly: "No, no, I didn't say it bad, never." "Excuse me, is there anything else you want to add?" Xu Shu's tone suddenly became stern, and the person also stood up.

Kou Yan hurriedly got up: "Teacher......" Xu Shu was not moved, and bowed his head seriously: "If there is anything inconsiderate, please point it out to Lord Taishou." ”

"Eh, I, I, I listen to the teacher, whatever the teacher says, just do it!" Kou Yan hurriedly shook his hand. Just kidding, what qualifications does she have to point out the teacher's omissions? What's more, her thinking has already been sorted out by the teacher's plan into his model, where else can she think of?
