Although it was clear that Zhou Hu was uneasy and kind, Cao Suo had no way to retreat at this time, so he could only agree hard.
What else could he do otherwise? Admit that you have no countermeasures to defeat the rebels?
After taking a deep breath, Cao Suo Zhengse said: "Lord County Guard, there are two strategies for the lower position to use......
ββ¦β¦β
Zhao Yu was stunned, looked at Cao Suo with interest, and did not interrupt.
Obviously, Li Junshou was also surprised, and hurriedly said, "Please speak." β
Seeing this, Cao Suo hugged his fists and said in a deep voice: "The best strategy is to 'replace defense with offense', first take Yingyin, and then take Linying." β¦β¦ At present, although I Xuchang is caught by the rebels, I consider that Yingyang County has been ...... Compared with the three counties of Changshe, Yanling, and Linying occupied by the rebels, Yingyin has the best chance of being recaptured by our side, and once Yingyin is recaptured, the rebels' conspiracy to try to encircle our Xuchang will not succeed. β¦β¦ Subsequently, we will take advantage of the situation to seize Linying, cut off the return route of the rebels, and threaten their food routes......"
γβ¦β¦ It's kind of interesting.'"
Zhao Yu crossed his arms and looked at Cao Suo with a playful expression.
He suddenly felt that although this Cao Suo had been defeated repeatedly, he still had some insight in strategy.
At least in his opinion, Cao Suo's strategy is feasible.
However, 'feasible' does not mean that it can be successful, isn't the rebels' strategy of 'flanking Nanyang' not bad, and it was not once planted in Kunyang?
In the final analysis, whether the strategy is feasible depends on whether there is a reliable army to achieve the tactical goals one by one, otherwise it is just a piece of paper.
It's like Cao Suo in front of him.
"Captain Cao, are you sure to capture Yingyin?"
Zhao Yu questioned maliciously: "As far as I know, the garrison in Yingyin at the moment seems to be Xiang Xuan, is Cao Duwei sure to capture the city guarded by Xiang Xuan?" β
Cao Suo said expressionlessly: "If Yingyang's army gives help, it may not be impossible to succeed if it is attacked from both sides. β
"It's a pity."
Zhao Yu shook his head and broke Cao Suo's hope: "Yingyang only has 8,000 defenders, and only 4,000 of them are reliable soldiers, and the remaining 4,000 are county soldiers in Runan and Xiangcheng counties, and they have no experience in fighting. β
Cao Suo was slightly stunned, and then sneered: "It seems that the captain of the upper part of Zhou is unwilling to cooperate?" β
"Huh." Zhao Yu chuckled lightly, spread his hands and said, "Zhou is just telling the truth." β
Seeing this, Cao Suo flashed a little angry, and hugged his fist towards Li Junshou and said, "My lord, Zhou Hu ......"
"Alright."
Li Junshou raised his hand to interrupt Cao Suo's words and turned his head to look at Zhao Yu.
Of course, he knew that Zhao Yu didn't actually mean to rescue Xuchang - this ambitious guy had come to save him.
Under the stunned gaze of Cao Suo and the others, Li Junshou asked Zhao Yu gently: "Zhou Hu, can you transfer some elites from Kunyang to help capture Yingyin?" β
Seeing this, Li Junshou personally asked, Zhao Yu stood up, clenched his fists and said, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult." β¦β¦ I mentioned it to the county in the war report, and I don't know if the county guard has seen that although I have eight or nine thousand soldiers in Kunyang, I am currently holding more than 10,000 rebel prisoners......"
"Did you really take so many captives?" Lee's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes." Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Because I lost too much money last year, I was afraid that I would not be able to cope with this year's farming, so when the rebels were defeated last year, I deliberately asked the people below to capture and capture the prisoners. He organized these captives into a 'subordinate army' and enslaved them to cultivate food for my Kunyang. With the help of these pawns, this year I have opened up new fields equivalent to nearly seventy acres of old fields in Kunyang, and borrowed grain seeds from Xiangcheng and Runan counties, and planted all of them with grain...... If everything goes well, when the harvest is harvested this autumn, I can have a good harvest in Kunyang, which is enough to feed the soldiers and civilians of this county and those prisoners......"
Li Junshou's eyes lit up when he heard this.
I have to say that he no longer expects his harvest in Xuchang this year, after all, he is sandwiched by the rebels, and he does not dare to open the city gate to ask people to farm outside the city, so as not to be slaughtered by the rebels.
Taking a step back, even if the rebels didn't send people to slaughter, he wouldn't dare to do so, after all, no one dared to guarantee whether the grain he planted in Xuchang in the spring would be harvested in the autumn - anyone with a brain could think that this was just making a wedding dress for the rebels.
Because of this, in fact, Li Junshou also has a headache about food.
He has no doubt that he may not be able to support this year's goals, and he Xuchang City will inevitably fall into the embarrassment of food shortage, although Henan County, which is adjacent to his Yingchuan County, is a major land for grain production, but this year's Henan County, the farmland in its territory has been attacked by rebels, and it is obviously impossible to count on it.
At this time, he suddenly learned that Kunyang had not only planted grain normally, but even planted nearly seventy percent of the farmland, and Li Junshou suddenly perked up.
And at this moment, I suddenly heard the county Cheng Song Shu ask lightly: "The captain of the upper part of Zhou is really brave, not only captured more than 10,000 rebel prisoners, but also dared to cultivate at this time...... I feel very puzzled, isn't the leader of Zhou afraid that the farmland sown will be destroyed by the rebels? Or does Leader Zhou have something to rely on? β
As soon as the words fell, I heard Changshi Chen Lang sneering beside him: "Song Juncheng, speaking of which, when I went to Kunyang a while ago, I saw the farmland in Kunyang with my own eyes, which is really spectacular......"
"That's weird......"
Song Shu glanced at Zhao Yu and said with a sneer: "I heard that Guan Shuo is attacking Ye County at this time, only a stone's throw away from Kunyang, why haven't the rebels destroyed Kunyang's farmland?" β
At this time, Wei Shi Hanhe, who was behind Cao Suo, also came to his senses, and sneered ill-willedly: "Could it be that the leader of Zhou and the rebels have something in private...... Collusion? β
ββ¦β¦β
Li Junshou looked around and looked at Zhao Yu with a frown.
At this time, I heard Zhao Yu laugh and mocked: "Looking at everyone uniting to squeeze Zhou, no wonder you can hold Xuchang." β
"This kid is really unruly, this is too arrogant......
Seeing that Zhao Yu didn't care about offending a circle of people, Li Jun couldn't help but muttered secretly in his heart.
After muttering, he asked in a deep voice, "Zhou Hu, is there such a thing?" β
"Not really." Zhao Yu shook his head and said.
"Then how do you explain that Guan Shuo did not send troops to destroy your farmland in Kunyang?" Song Shu asked with a sneer.
"Then I'll have to ask Guan Shuo, how do I know what he thinks?" Zhao Yu spread his hands, not caring about the targeting of the people in the house, he said in a conceited tone: "As far as I personally understand, Guan Shuoxu was afraid of being killed last year, and he didn't want to provoke me Kunyang ......again."
Hearing this, Jun Cheng Song Shu said with a light smile: "That's why the captain of the upper part of Zhou has reached some kind of ...... with the rebels Tacit understanding? β
"Song Juncheng's words, but it's a bit heartfelt......"
Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Song Zhuo, and asked with a smile: "Does Song Juncheng really want Zhou to admit this?" β
"I didn't say that." Song Shu said with a smile: "It's just a matter of facts. β
"Oh, then I'll just admit it." Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Then Guan Shuo was scared by me, and he didn't dare to invade my Kunyang again, and I didn't want Kunyang to suffer more casualties, so I maintained a tacit understanding with the rebels that 'entering the water does not violate the river'...... And then what? Song Juncheng, do you want to accuse Zhou of collaborating with the enemy? β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing Zhao Yu's fearless appearance, Song Shu was a little stunned.
He frowned and said: "The upper lieutenant of Zhou is serious, but I just think that the upper lieutenant really shouldn't maintain this tacit understanding with the rebels......"
"Then what does Song Juncheng think he should do?" Zhao Yu asked Song Shu rhetorically: "Lead the residents of Kunyang to fight with the rebels and fight to the last man?" Song Juncheng dared to go to Kunyang and say this in front of the soldiers and civilians in Kunyang? β
"......" Song Shu was speechless.
Of course, he knew that if he dared to say this in front of Kunyang, he would be torn apart by the angry Kunyang people.
At this time, Liao Guang, a sergeant behind Cao Suo, couldn't help but accuse: "As an official of the Great Jin Dynasty, the captain of the upper part of Zhou has colluded with the rebels for the benefit of a county, regardless of the overall situation, and dares to make a big statement here?!" β
As soon as the words fell, Tian Qin, Han and several others also echoed with serious faces.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu sneered: "A few generals who have been defeated repeatedly, what face do they have to question me Zhou Hu?" β¦β¦ If I, Zhou Hu, were in Xuchang and farming outside the city in front of that Xiang Xuan, what would he Xiang Xuan do? β
Hearing this, Cao Suo and the others were so angry that their faces turned red, but they were powerless to refute.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu turned to face Li Junshou, clenched his fists and said, "Humble Meng Lang, please don't blame Lord Junshou." Although I had expected that my presence would make some people unhappy, or that some people would deliberately embarrass me because of my humble background, I never expected ......"
He let out a long breath and said, "The words of the humble position are just angry words. How can I collude with the rebels? It's just that because of the large casualties in Kunyang, he had no choice but to let the rebels run amok. If the rebels don't destroy the farmland, then it's fine; The rebels destroyed my farmland and cut off the vitality of my Kunyang, so I will rob the rebels' food by the soldiers and civilians of Kunyang, that's all. β
ββ¦β¦β
Li Junshou nodded slightly, and looked around the room with a little dissatisfaction.
The two sides have made trouble to such a point that today's military discussion will obviously not be able to continue.
It is undeniable that he is a little dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's undisguised ambitions, but Song Shu, Cao Suo and others have targeted Zhao Yu, which also makes him feel unhappy - these guys don't know what the overall situation is important at all!
After calming down the anger in his heart, Li Junshou let out a sigh and said in a deep voice: "That's it, Zhou Hu, I'll arrange a place for you to stay in the city first......
Hearing this, Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Lord County Shou, if Chen Changshi doesn't mind, I want to go to Chen Changshi's mansion to disturb for a few days." β
"Huh?"
Chen Lang never expected that Zhao Yu would mention himself, his face changed suddenly, he hurriedly got up and walked to the hall, and said, "My lord, the humble mansion is small, I'm afraid it won't be able to satisfy the captain of the upper part of Zhou." β
"What is Chen Changshi talking about?" Zhao Yu raised his hand and grabbed Chen Lang's shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Li Junshou is already on the verge of an attack." β
γβ¦β¦γ
Chen Lang peeked at Li Junshou, and sure enough, he saw that Li Junshou's face was gloomy, and he looked like he was about to get angry.
For fear that this county guard would be angry with him, Chen Lang hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed against his will: "Since the captain of the upper part of Zhou does not dislike the humble house, he is naturally welcome in the lower parts." β
Hearing this, Li Junshou's face turned slightly pale, and he nodded slightly.
"Chen Changshi, then disturb it."
When Chen Lang had to accept his fate with a wry smile on his face, Zhao Yu patted him on the shoulder, and immediately glanced at Cao Su and the others.
Eventually, he turned his attention to the county Cheng Song.
At this time, Song Shu was also quietly observing Zhao Yu.
Although through that mask, Song Shu could vaguely feel that Zhou Hu smiled strangely at him this time, and his eyes were not suspicious.
It made him chuckle.
This Week's Tiger ...... What do you want to do?
