Chapter 502: Can't stop sending the dead
After noon, the county guard sent officials to the governor's office again.
"Captain Zhou, the county guard has an order, please bring the sergeants, lieutenant history, and Gong Cao from the lieutenant office to join the army and go to the county guard mansion to discuss important matters."
This official said this to Zhao Yu, only to hear that Zhao Yu immediately frowned.
asked him to join the army with the non-commissioned officers, lieutenant history, and gongcao of the Governor's Office to the county guard mansion to discuss important matters, which must be to discuss military affairs.
And what is there to discuss at the moment?
It's nothing more than 'whether to take the opportunity to recover Yingyin'.
"What should come will always come, and some people will step into this trap even if they live or die."
Zhao Yu scolded in his heart.
However, Li Junshou's order could not be disobeyed, and he immediately sent someone to inform the officials of his Governor's Office.
Not long after, the scholars Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Qin Yu, Jia Shu, Wei Shi Hanhe, Liu Jian, Gong Cao Shi Wang Tao, and the county guard Shi Chen Lang and Gong Cao joined the army Xun Yi, all came to Zhao Yu's house one after another.
Zhao Yu didn't say much, so he took these people straight to the county guard's mansion.
A moment later, the group came to the county guard's mansion, and what was surprising was that in addition to Li Junshou and Song Shu, the former governor of Xuchang who had faded out of Xuchang's field of vision during this time in the name of recuperating at home, was still sitting in the hall.
"Why is he here?"
Xun Yi and Chen Lang glanced at each other, their faces were full of consternation, and the five people behind Zhao Yu, Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han He, Liu Jian, and Wang Tao also had different expressions, but Qin Yu and Jia Shu did not change their faces - after all, these two didn't recognize Cao Suo at all.
"Humble to meet the county keeper."
Zhao Yu quietly saluted Li Junshou, completely ignoring Song Shu and Cao Suo.
And Li Junshou didn't care, waved his hand and said, "Sit, sit." ”
Since Song Shu and Cao Suo were both sitting in the seats on the east side, Zhao Yu walked to the seats on the west side, and all the officials behind him sat in turn.
At this time, Li Junshou said to Zhao Yu: "This time, I invited Zhou Duwei and his colleagues from the Duwei Office to come here, because there is one thing that everyone needs to discuss, that is, whether to take advantage of the emptiness of Yingyin's garrison and take the opportunity to recapture it. ”
"It is not advisable to do that."
Zhao Yu immediately objected, but did not say why.
After all, he had explained this matter several times, and he was a little annoyed.
"Hmm."
Li Junshou didn't care about Zhao Yu's tone, nodded, and turned his head to look at Cao Suo.
Cao Suo suddenly understood, and said in a deep voice: "Regarding the statement that the fake captain believes that Ying Yin is a trap set by Xiang Xuan, Cao has also heard it, please forgive me for not agreeing." …… If it was really a plan to lure the enemy, and eight days later, how could that Xuan still build a camp and build siege equipment in Yingyang? There are all kinds of signs that Xiang Xuan is indeed going to attack Yingyang, I don't know what the purpose of the fake captain is that he refuses to take the opportunity to recapture Yingyin, I can only say that the fake captain is delaying the fighter plane by not moving his troops. ”
Looking at Cao Suo, who had an impassioned face, Zhao Yu laughed and said, "Cao Duwei's injury is healed?" ”
“……”
Cao Suo was angry.
Everyone knows that there is no such thing as a 'recurrence of old injuries' at all, but Li Junshou told him to stay at home, and he didn't dare to disobey. Right now, Zhao Yu is ridiculing with this unwarranted thing, does Cao Suo dare to explain?
He didn't dare.
It's no wonder that his face turned red.
Fortunately, Li Junshou rounded the scene for him: "Cough, Zhou Duwei, Cao Duwei came today to give me a little advice." ”
"How to defeat the advice?" Zhao Yu hit Cao Suo mercilessly: "From last year to this year, Cao Duwei has never defeated Xiang Xuan once, what is the value of his suggestion?" ”
"You ......" Cao Suo's face flushed angrily.
Seeing this, Tian Qin, Liao Guang and others, who were sitting on Zhao Yu's side, also showed unhappiness on their faces, believing that they thought Zhao Yu was too aggressive.
"Oh, it turns out that he is the former captain Cao Suo......
Qin Yu and Jia Shu looked at Cao Suo opposite quietly and secretly sneered in their hearts.
At this moment, Li Junshou scolded unhappily: "Enough! No matter what Cao Duwei said, he came with good intentions, and Zhou Duwei must not be rude. ”
This Li Junshou is a big tree that Zhao Yu has to rely on to enjoy the shade recently, and Zhao Yu naturally still has to give him face.
He immediately clenched his fists and admitted his mistake: "Please forgive me." ”
Seeing this, Li Junshou nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to Cao Suo and said, "Okay, Captain Cao, tell me your opinion." ”
"Yes."
Cao Suo hugged his fists, and then said, "I think we must recapture Yingyin as soon as possible." As we all know, Yingyin is only ten or twenty miles away from my Xuchang, since the rebels seized Yingyin, my Xuchang has always been threatened, today there is a chance to recapture Yingyin, how can I miss the opportunity because of the selfishness of some people? ”
"This is the way to die."
Zhao Yu said lightly: "Xuchang currently has more than 26,000 soldiers, these soldiers are the only guarantee of Xuchang, Cao Duwei suggested dividing troops to capture Yingyin, but it also weakened the defenders of Xuchang in disguise, as we all know, spread out the five fingers, far less powerful than clenching fists, the same is true for fighting, if the defenders of Xuchang are stationed in Xuchang and Yingyin, then Xuchang and Yingyin are weak, and they will undoubtedly be broken by the rebels. ”
"That's not true." Cao Suo immediately retorted: "Xuchang and Yingyin are only ten or twenty miles, and they can be horns and cover each other, so that even if the troops occupy Yingyin, it will not damage Xuchang." ”
His confident assertion sounded full of loopholes to Zhao Yu.
He scoffed: "On paper." …… The premise of each other's horns is that the army dares to go out of the city to reinforce, and thanks to a certain former captain, Xuchang's soldiers have been defeated and weakened repeatedly, and when it comes to the rebels, they are frightened. Since he was unable to reinforce each other, Cao Duwei's so-called 'mutual horns and mutual cover' was just empty talk. ”
"This ......"
may not have expected Zhao Yu to make such a powerful rebuttal, Cao Suo was a little panicked in his heart, he stubbornly said: "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, didn't the fake captain spend a lot of money to boost morale a few days ago?" As long as enough bounties are issued, how dare the county guards reinforce them? ”
A room full of people listened quietly to their arguments.
It seems that both of them are reasonable, but in the eyes of Qin Yu and Jia Shu, the two former rebel generals, 'Zhou Duwei' is obviously better at fighting than 'Cao Duwei'.
"This kind of goods, you can actually become the lieutenant of a county?"
While watching coldly, Qin Wei secretly sneered in his heart.
In his opinion, if all the captains in the world of the Jin Kingdom were all like this Cao Suo, then his righteous teacher south of the Great River might really be able to overthrow the tyrannical Jin State.
However, thinking of his current situation, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
At this time, the county Cheng Song Shu opened his mouth to stop the argument between Zhao Yu and Cao Suo, and said to Li Junshou seemingly fairly: "Lord County Shou, Zhou Duwei is reasonable, and Cao Duwei is reasonable, but the lower officials are still inclined to Cao Duwei's suggestion...... Zhou Duwei thought that the capture of Yingyin would weaken the defenders of Xuchang, and the lower officials thought that it was too alarmist, and it should be known that Yingyin was only a dozen miles away from Xuchang, and if it was not violated, Cao Duwei could withdraw to Xuchang, if he missed the opportunity because of this small risk, how could he talk about repelling the rebels? …… Therefore, the lower official suggested that it would be better to ask Cao Duwei to give it a try. ”
Hearing this, Li Junshou asked Cao Suodao, "How many troops do you need?" ”
"Ten thousand." Cao Suo glanced at Zhao Yu and replied with his fists clenched.
Li Junshou frowned, turned his head and asked Zhao Yu, "Captain Zhou, what do you think?" ”
"If you can't go against it, withdraw to Xuchang? Stupidity! Xiang Xuan is planning to lure you into dividing your troops to attack Yingyin, how can you be allowed to withdraw to Xuchang? …… That's it, since this Cao Suo is intent on looking for death, let's give him a ride, it's a pity that those 10,000 soldiers, I don't know how many people can return to Xuchang alive in the end......
Zhao Yu secretly sighed.
But right now, Li Junshou, Song Juncheng, and the former governor Cao Suo all support the 'recovery of Yingyin', and there is nothing he can do.
In desperation, he said calmly: "The soldiers who participated in the defense of the city a few days ago must not be moved lightly, and the rest will be selected by Cao Duwei." ”
Hearing this, Cao Suo frowned and said: "The soldiers who participated in the defense of the city a few days ago have high morale, and Captain Zhou does not allow me 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, got up and pointed at Zhao Yu and shouted: "Zhou Hu, you are too arrogant!" ”
However, Zhao Yu ignored Cao Suo, got up and hugged his fist towards Li Junshou and said: "Lord County Shou, the soldiers who participated in the defense of the city a few days ago are my last hope for Xuchang, if Lord County Shou hands it over to Cao Suo, Xuchang will definitely not be able to preserve, if so, he will resign from the post of lieutenant, so as not to replace others when the water is difficult to recover." ”
“!!”
“!!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.
"Hmm."
Li Junshou nodded, turned his head to look at Cao Suo and said: "As Zhou Duwei said, the weight of Xuchang is more important than Yingyin, for the sake of safety, but all the soldiers who participated in the defense of the city a few days ago, you can't take them to recover Yingyin." ”
"Yes."
Cao Suo glanced at Zhao Yu, lowered his head and hugged his fists, and then said, "My lord, I need the help of the old department. ”
"This ......"
Li Junshou stroked his beard and looked at the column where Zhao Yu was.
And at this moment, the three of them, Tian Qin, Liao Guang, and Wei Shi Liu clasped their fists and said in unison: "Lord County Guard, I implore you to help Cao Duwei!" ”
『……』
Li Junshou frowned slightly, and glanced at Zhao Yu quietly, but saw that Zhao Yu ignored this, as if he hadn't heard Tian Qin's words, or had already expected it.
With a little surprise, he asked quietly, "Captain Zhou, what do you think?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu turned his head and glanced at Tian Qin, Liao Guang, and Liu Jian, and immediately hugged his fists at Li Junshou and said: "People have their own aspirations, life and death should be their own destiny, since the three of them want to help Cao Duwei, they will naturally not stop them." ”
"Okay."
Li Junshou nodded, and solemnly ordered Cao Suo: "In this case, I order you to lead an army of 10,000, with Tian Qin, Liao Guang, and Liu Jian, to send troops to recover Yingyin. ”
"Yes."
Cao Suo answered with excitement on his face.
With this 10,000 troops, plus Tian Qin, Liao Guang, and Liu Jian, he can at least be on an equal footing with that Zhou Hu.
『……』
Looking at Cao Suo's excited look, Zhao Yu shook his head slightly.
Heaven and earth can be learned, but it is not that he wants to use a knife to kill people and exclude dissidents, but there are really some people who are in a hurry to send them to death, and they can't stop them.
