Chapter 476: Reconsiderate
"I have a few words to say before the meeting begins. At the moment, it is imperative that I, Xuchang, unite from top to bottom and work together to defeat the rebels led by Xiang Xuan and others, instead of attacking each other......"
After glancing around at the people in the room, Li Junshou made a warning with a serious expression, although he did not name names, everyone knew that he was referring to Zhao Yu and Du Wei Cao Suo.
Regarding Li Junshou's warning, Cao Suo bowed his head slightly, as if he had learned a lesson, and Zhao Yu at least made a submissive appearance on the surface, as for the bottom of his heart, he didn't think that Li Junshou's warning could be too restrictive.
Of course, Li Junshou didn't know what Zhao Yu and Cao Suo were thinking, seeing that the two of them were silent and didn't talk back, he was a little satisfied in his heart, he nodded and said, "I interrupted yesterday, Cao Duwei, let's talk about your second plan." ”
"Yes."
Du Wei Cao Suo hugged his fists and said with a serious expression: "The second strategy of the humble post is to wait for the attack ......."
Defend and wait for the attack?
Isn't that just stubbornness?
Not to mention that Zhao Yu couldn't help but laugh, even Li Junshou's face was a little unsightly.
Speaking of which, yesterday he was quite satisfied with Cao Suo's first strategy, but unfortunately Kunyang did not have the spare strength to cooperate with the battle, but what was this second strategy? What's the difference between this and before?
"You mean...... Stubborn? Li Junshou asked with a calm face.
Cao Suo didn't know what he was thinking, he frowned slightly and nodded: "Yes." ”
Hearing this, Li Junshou asked with an unhappy face, "What's the difference between this and before?" ”
Cao Suo hugged his fists, and after glancing at Zhao Yu with a strange expression, he lowered his head and explained: "There is a difference, I think that I Xuchang may follow 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 me Kunyang street fighting?"
Zhao Yu's face under the mask showed a slightly strange look.
"Emulate the Kunyang ......"
Li Junshou stroked his beard and muttered to himself, turning his head to look at Zhao Yu who was sitting in the hall.
At the beginning, after he named Zhao Yu as the lieutenant of the ministry, Zhao Yu was reminded by Xun Yi, as an official officer, and sent the first text to Yingchuan County, that is, the battle report of the Battle of Kunyang.
At that time, Xun Yi hoped that Xuchang could gain some experience from Kunyang's victory, and implored Zhao Yu to record the process of the battle of Kunyang in detail in that battle report.
After this war report was sent to Xuchang, Li Junshou, Cao Suo and others carefully reviewed it, so Li Junshou also knew what methods Kunyang used to defeat the rebels.
It's just that the experience of the Battle of Kunyang can really be applied to his Xuchang?
Although Li Junshou is not good at military affairs, he at least understands the principle of 'Tao has no permanent way', and the strategy that applies to Kunyang may not apply to him Xuchang.
Fortunately, the parties involved in the battle of Kunyang were in the house at the moment, and Li Junshou naturally wanted to ask first.
"Zhou Hu, what do you think?" He turned his head to look at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu looked at Cao Suo with interest, and after thinking for a while, he clasped his fists and said: "Du Wei's sentence 'follow Kunyang', it is really difficult to judge the lowly position, and it depends on the specific arrangements of Du Wei......
Seeing that Zhao Yu did not take the opportunity to taunt Cao Suo, Li Junshou nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to Cao Suo and said, "Captain, tell me what you think." ”
Cao Suo glanced at Zhao Yu quietly, and said his thoughts head-on.
The tactics he described, especially the street fighting, only made everyone in the room stunned: Isn't this just a copy of the Battle of Kunyang?
Even Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han and a few people behind Cao Suo were inevitably a little embarrassed at this moment.
But there was no way, since Zhou Hu arrived in Xuchang, they discussed and discussed in private, and they did not think of a feasible strategy, only to refer to the street fighting tactics adopted during the Battle of Kunyang - after all, that was at least proven.
Because of the shame and indignation in their hearts, when Zhao Yu's eyes looked at them, several of them only felt a burning heat on their faces, and they were ashamed to look at each other.
However, in order to keep Cao Suo's position as the captain and not be replaced by a former bandit leader, they had no other way.
A moment later, when Cao Suo said the last word, the whole room was silent.
『……』
Li Junshou was disappointed.
He also thought that Cao Suo's second strategy would have any new ideas, but he didn't expect it to 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 about it for a while, Li Junshou didn't open his mouth to rebuke anything, but turned his head casually and asked Zhao Yu: "Zhou Hu, do you think it's feasible?" ”180
"I'm afraid it's hard." Zhao Yu shook his head slightly.
Hearing this, Cao Suo and Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han and a few others behind him couldn't hold back their faces.
You must know that they were forced to have no choice but to copy Kunyang's tactics to meet the rebels that day, but they didn't expect that the party who proposed this strategy bluntly said that it was not feasible, which made them more and more ashamed.
The sergeant Liao Guang couldn't bear it, and immediately said with shame and anger: "Is the captain of the upper part of Zhou deliberately making things difficult?" ”
"Huh."
Zhao Yu chuckled, didn't bother to pay attention to Liao Guang, turned his head to Li Junshou and explained: "Lord County Shou, there is no constant way, there is no constant law, last year I Kunyang adopted the strategy of street fighting, that is because I saw that Guan Shuo intends to capture Kunyang, so that his army can survive the winter, and then this year as a stronghold for him to attack Ye County, in other words, I am sure that he will not set fire to the city, so I dare to take street fighting." …… But the situation in Xuchang is completely different from the original Kunyang. First of all, it is summer now, and the rebels don't need to think about the problem of 'occupying the city for the winter', even if they stay overnight in the wilderness, there is no problem; second, Xiang Xuan and other rebels have occupied the four counties of Yingyin, Changshe, Yanling, and Linying, even if a fire burns Xuchang to the ground, when winter comes, they can still spend the winter in those four counties. Taking these two points into account, I think that Cao Duwei and others followed the street fighting strategy proposed by me Kunyang, which is just a tactic on paper, which seems to be feasible, but in fact it is not feasible. …… If I were Xiang Xuan, I wouldn't have fought any street battles with Xuchang at all, I burned Xuchang with fire, and then blocked it outside the city, waiting for Xuchang to break through and chase it in one fell swoop, so why bother fighting any street battles? What's more, the rebels have already suffered a big loss in Kunyang last year, how can they still be fooled? ”
"Hmm."
Seeing that Zhao Yu explained in a clear way that the street fighting was not feasible, Li Junshou nodded again and again.
Seeing this, Cao Suo's people panicked, and the soldier Tian Qin immediately explained: "Street fighting is just the last resort, and if it is not feasible, then defend the city......"
Hearing this, Li Junshou turned his head to look at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu suddenly understood, shook his head and said, "It's not advisable to blindly stick to it." …… Maybe Xuchang's food is still enough, so what about firewood? Did Xuchang prepare the firewood needed by the soldiers and civilians in the city to boil water and cook rice every day? ”
Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han and several others were speechless.
Since ancient times, the city has been guarded, not only rice and water are the most critical, but also firewood, without firewood, the soldiers and civilians in the city can only drink raw water and eat raw rice.
For this, in fact, Cao Suo and Tian Qin are not ignorant, the problem is that the rebels around Xuchang are watching closely, they really have no way to send a large number of people to cut down trees for firewood, so they can only secretly send some soldiers to do it, once the rebels hear the news, they will immediately retreat into the city.
In this case, how much firewood can he Xuchang accumulate?
"What did the Captain of the Upper Command think about that week?" Yu Shi Hanhe asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu laughed and said: "Zi said, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your position." …… Yesterday, I just sat in the wrong seat of Cao Duwei, and I was coldly spoken by you, how dare I take Cao Duwei's errand today? ”
Cao Suo, Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han He and several others were furious in their hearts, but they couldn't say anything.
However, Zhao Yu's words also made Li Junshou a little unhappy, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhou Hu, I said that at present, I in Xuchang should unite up and down to fight against the rebels together, if you have any plans, say it quickly." ”
"Yes."
Zhao Yu didn't want to turn his face with Li Junshou yet, so he hugged his fists and said, "Junshou, I have already told you yesterday about the suggestion of humiliation......
Hearing this, Chen Lang, who was sitting at the bottom of Zhao Yu, felt a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Li Junshou.
What made him secretly frightened was that Li Junshou really showed a subtle look on his face.
"Zhou Hu didn't fool me this time, he really made a suggestion to the county guard to 'abandon Xuchang'......
Chen Lang, who was secretly shocked in his heart, couldn't help but ooze a layer of sweat from his brain, which made Song Shu, the county who had been secretly paying attention to him, very surprised.
"That's it...... Hugh will mention it again. ”
Under Chen Lang's secret observation, Li Junshou hesitated for a moment, vaguely uncovered his 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 back then, and he does not dare to make judgments. However, if Li Jun obeys the order, I will command the soldiers in the city, and I am willing to give it a try......"
Hearing these words of obvious ambition, Cao Suo and the others suddenly changed color, and Liao Guang reprimanded angrily: "Zhou Hu, how dare you ......"
"Shut up!"
Before Liao Guang finished speaking, he heard Li Junshou shout angrily, and Liao Guang was so shocked that he didn't dare to reply.
I saw Li Junshou look at Zhao Yu, and then at Cao Suo, the commander with a panicked face, and reached out to rub his forehead.
"I'm tired of this house, you can retreat first. …… Zhou Hu, you stay. ”
"Yes!"
Including Zhao Yu, everyone stood up and saluted.
Immediately, except for Zhao Yu, the rest of the people left the house one after another.
As soon as he arrived outside the house, Jun Cheng Song Shu called Chen Lang, who was a little distracted: "Chen Changshi, can you borrow a step to speak?" ”
Glancing back at the room, Chen Lang nodded slightly.
It just so happened that he also had an important matter to discuss with this county man.
