Zhao Yun and the others woke up slowly, as if they were in a big dream, and when they heard that Li Yu had stopped guarding for three hours, they were immediately ashamed.

It was already slightly bright, and by the early light of the morning, a fast horse galloped to the city of Huiji.

I saw that the soldier on horseback was holding a token for help, and Wang Deru, the general defending the city, hurriedly looked at it, so he didn't dare to stop it.

The cavalry soldiers whipped all the way to the county guard's mansion, where Li Yu was.

"Report ~ Ladies and gentlemen, the villain was ordered by Lord Meng of Lujiang County to come to the meeting to ask for help."

The soldier knelt down and said hurriedly, and then handed a letter asking for help to Zhao Hongming.

Where does Zhao Hongming dare to look, even if he dares to look, with only less than 2,000 Caoyun sailors in his hands, he will not dare to rush to support.

Zhao Hongming knew it, so he simply handed over the letter of help to Li Yu.

Li Yu knew that the situation was urgent, and after reading the contents of the letter in a hurry, his face suddenly became a little weird.

Unexpectedly, the Yue people and the remnants of the Chu State took the initiative to divide their troops into two ways and attack the land of the two counties at the same time.

Fortunately, Li Yu left a hand, and had already arranged for Li Cunxiao to go to Lujiang County with 5,000 men and horses.

Even if there are 60,000 or 70,000 rebels as the letter says, with Li Cunxiao's strength, as long as he doesn't go out of the city stupidly, he can figure it out for a while.

Li Yu casually handed the letter to Chen Qingzhi, and then said, "What does Ziyun think it should be?" ”

Chen Qingzhi looked at it hastily, and then responded: "Master Hou, you still have foresight, if you don't let General Li bring an army to Lujiang County in advance, I am afraid that Lujiang has been lost at this time, and my subordinates admire it." ”

As soon as the words fell, several people around, including Zhang Liang, all nodded in praise.

Seeing this, Li Yu felt inexplicably comfortable in his heart, and there was some snickering joy, so he unconsciously put a smile on his face.

However, what the truth is, only Li Yu himself knows it in his heart, and others cannot verify it.

Being praised by these cattle in front of him, Li Yu couldn't help but be a little fluttering, during which he glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone's faces were different, so he hurriedly coughed, waved his hand in a righteous voice, and said:

"Hey, the advance arrangement is just a small gossip, but I don't deserve such praise from you."

After speaking, Li Yu looked at everyone and said, "Let's talk about how to solve the siege of Lujiang County now." ”

Everyone pondered for a moment, and then Chen Qingzhi spoke: "If the enemy army really has 60,000 or 70,000 people, and there are more than 10,000 well-armed Xiang family troops, our army really can't shake it. ”

Undeniable, Zhang Liang couldn't help but nod and said, "Liang has a plan, but it is a little difficult to achieve. ”

Hearing Zhang Liang speak, Li Yu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking: "Ovary, come soon, can it be achieved, and we will discuss it later." ”

Zhang Liang's eyebrows moved, and he said: "The art of war is cloudy: the wolves rebel, divide and eat.

Now, the rebels are besieging the Lujiang River, and if they can't attack for a long time, they will definitely be impatient, and our army only needs to find an opportunity to divide it, and it will be able to break it one by one. ”

As soon as Zhang Liang's voice fell, Chen Qingzhi frowned and said: "Although this is said, it is unrealistic, not to mention that the enemy army is sixty or seventy thousand, how to divide the enemy army alone is a big problem, as far as I know, there are no mountains, forests and rivers around Lujiang City, only a few dozen miles to the north, there is a lake in Poyang." ”

Zhang Liang didn't mind others questioning, so he said: "What General Ziyun said is good, if Liang wants to use Lujiang City as bait, what should you do?" ”

Chen Qingzhi was taken aback when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Ovary talent, do you want to take advantage of the eagerness of the rebels who have not been able to attack for a long time, and come out to catch thieves?" ”

Zhang Liang smiled slightly, like a gentleman, nodded lightly, and said, "That's right." ”

The conversation between the two is cursory, but after thinking about it, I feel that there are many difficulties.

Li Yu couldn't help frowning, and asked, "But how can we let the friendly forces in the city know what we think, and how can we coordinate the defenders in the city to cooperate with our army?" ”

Zhang Liang shook his head when he heard this: "This is why Liang said that it was difficult to achieve before. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but fall into a dilemma, the theory is indeed feasible, but the reality is difficult to achieve.

Everyone pondered for a long time, Liu Bang suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "Why bother so much, Master Hou, if you bring all the crossbows used to break the door before, those rebels will definitely flee from the wind." ”

……

Everyone thought that Liu Bang had a good idea, but they didn't expect it to be like this, so they couldn't help but shake their heads and wave their hands, saying that it didn't work.

Liu Bang still felt that his method was feasible, so he opened his mouth to defend: "Why doesn't it work, compared to the strategy of closing the door and catching thieves, I feel that this is more reliable......"

After speaking, seeing the gazes of everyone, I couldn't help but feel a little weak, and my voice became smaller and smaller.

At this moment, Zhao Hongming, the county guard of Huiji, suddenly spoke: "After being reminded by this Brother Liu, the lower official suddenly thought of a way. ”

Li Yu looked at everyone and listened to each other, anyway, he couldn't think of any good way for a while.

Then he gave Zhao Hongming an encouraging look and said: "What is Lord Zhao's clever plan, let's listen to it, let's discuss it." ”

Zhao Hongming then arched his hand and said: "Xia Guan used to be a sailor, in the first year of the river, there were many water thieves on the banks south of the river, but the number of ships transporting salt and grain was huge, and the trips were frequent, and the guards of the surrounding counties thought of a way......"

"How? What does it have to do with the relief of Lujiang County? ”

Listening to Zhao Hongming's clichés, he couldn't hit the key point with eight poles, so Liu Bang said disdainfully: It's better to attack the pavilion chief's crossbow.

Because of his opinion, Liu Bang was indignant, so he couldn't help but ask.

Suddenly interrupted by Liu Bang, Zhao Hongming couldn't help but blush, stunned in place......

Li Yu listened with great interest, so he spoke: "Lord Zhao, please continue." ”

Zhao Hongming breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and hurriedly said: "This, I was really long-winded just now,"

……

"The sailors who escorted the salt and grain thought of using straw straw to pile up straw men, and then put them on the boat, and gave them clothes and hats, so as to scare the water thieves."

The voice was undecided, but Li Yu's expression changed, and he thought of an allusion......

Then he said: "Lord Zhao is not a loss to be able to guard a county, if this plan can be successful, you should be credited with your first merit." ”

Zhao Hongming just said a trace of thought that flashed in his mind, but he didn't expect Li Yu to think so highly, so he was overjoyed, and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Master Hou." ”

Li Yu waved his hand, but said, "Lord Zhao, I order you to collect frames from the city, the more the better, and load the straw that was not used up last year." ”

"Yes."

Watching Zhao Hongming leave, Li Yu said again: "Ziyun, you go and buy pine oil and cloth from the residents of the city, as much as you want." ”

Although Chen Qing was puzzled in his heart, he still gave up and left.

For a time, only Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Liu Bang and Li Yu were left in the county guard.

Liu Bang loves to be lively and curious, and when he heard Li Yu's arrangement, he didn't know much about it, so he asked: "Master Hou, are you planning to set fire to the frame straw and pine oil cloth?" ”

Li Yu grinned and did not answer Liu Bang's inquiry.

Then seeing Zhang Liang's head looking at him, Li Yu's expression suddenly closed, pretending to be unfathomable......
