Now that the goal has been achieved, Zhao Yu naturally has to shoulder the responsibility of cleaning up the aftermath.

When Li Junshou asked him about the countermeasures, Zhao Yu Zhengse replied: "On the Xuchang side, I'm afraid I won't be able to send troops to reinforce Cao Suo, not because I am humble, but because Xiang Xuan will not give me this opportunity." …… At present, the three rebel armies of Xiang Xuan, Yan Xuan, and Zhong Fei are all besieging Yingyin, but Zhou Gong of Yanling has not taken action, if he is not mistaken, Xiang Xuan will definitely ask Zhou Gong to be responsible for containing me Xuchang......"

As soon as he said this, his voice stopped abruptly, because he suddenly heard the alarm bell of "bell bell".

Li Junshou's face changed slightly, and he was the first to walk out of the study, followed by Zhao Yu and Chen Lang.

Sure enough, out of the study, the alarm bell of "bell bell" became clearer and clearer.

"Where's the warning?" Li Junshou asked suspiciously.

"I'm afraid it's the East Gate...... Yes, the East Gate. ”

Zhao Yu listened for a moment and affirmed: "As the lowly Fang just said, Zhou Gong of Yanling will inevitably contain my Xuchang, so that my Xuchang will not dare to send troops to reinforce Yingyin...... But adults don't have to worry, unless I, Xuchang, send reinforcements to Yingyin, Zhou Gong should not attack the city immediately. He must wait until Xiang Xuan, Yan Xu, and Zhong Fei solve Yingyin, and then plot against me Xuchang together. ”

"Although Zhou Hu is ambitious and reckless this week, he is indeed more than superior to Cao Suo in terms of leading troops to fight......

Li Junshou took a deep look at Zhao Yu, nodded slightly, and then turned around and returned to the study.

After returning to the study, after Zhao Yu and Chen Lang were seated, Li Junshou asked: "Since I Xuchang can't send troops to reinforce Cao Suo, and Cao Suo is difficult to break through, how can I do it?" ”

Zhao Yu Zhengse said: "Cao Suo was just frightened by the number of rebels surrounding him...... Don't look at the rebels surrounding Ying Yin, there may be 20,000 or 30,000 people, but they may not have enough physical strength. Let's talk about the rebels in Linying, they built a camp between Yingyin and Xuchang overnight, plus a long and narrow defense, in my opinion, they must have prepared antlers, horses and wood for the camp in advance, so they were able to build a camp overnight, which caught Cao Suo off guard. But on the other hand, the Linying rebels hastily set up camp for a full night, so where did the sergeants and soldiers still have enough physical strength? …… Xiang Xuan and Yan Xuan's Second Army were the same, they rushed from Yingyang back to Yingyin overnight, and they rushed nearly forty miles away, how could they have the spare strength to resume the battle? …… It's a pity that Cao Suo is not calm enough, otherwise, when he found the rebels outside the city, he immediately broke through to Xuchang decisively, and the rebels might not be able to stop him. ”

"Hmm."

Li Junshou's brows became tighter and tighter.

I have to say that compared to Zhou Hu's 'anticipation of the enemy first', Cao Suo's reaction was too bad in his opinion.

This made him regret it more and more when he thought about it: he was obviously completely disappointed in Cao Suo before, how could he decide to give Cao Suo another chance because of a few words of persuasion from Song?

In remorse, Li Junshou asked Zhao Yu: "If you immediately send someone to order Cao Suo to lead the army to break through, can this matter be done?" ”

Zhao Yu hugged his fists and said, "My lord, with all due respect, Cao Suo has missed the best opportunity to break through, but for now, he can only do this." …… If Cao Suo can't lead the army to break through within three days, he will command 10,000 county troops, and I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out in Yingyin. ”

"Three days?" Li Junshou looked shocked.

"Yes." Zhao Yu nodded and explained: "Because Cao Suo sent troops this time, he only brought three days' food...... Although the humble official had reminded Liao Guang and asked them to bring more food, it was a pity that Cao Suo did not listen to the persuasion. ”

“……”

The more Li Junshou listened, the more he hated, and after scolding a few words secretly, he said with a worried face: "In case the 10,000 county troops are all wiped out, then ......"

Zhao Yu took the opportunity to say: "Therefore, it is recommended to conscript immediately. ”

"Right now?" Li Junshou asked puzzledly, "Is it too late?" ”

Of course, Zhao Yu understood what Li Junshou meant, and explained: "In a hurry, it is naturally impossible to train the strong men in the city into qualified soldiers immediately...... That's what I did when I was in Kunyang, and at that time, the number of soldiers in Kunyang who could fight was very small, and only I was from the Black Tiger Village...... cough, the villagers, and the Kunyang County Army, which is uneven, add up to only 4,000 people, what should I do? Fortunately, the humble post had formed a 'brotherhood' in Kunyang City, which was quite influential among the people, so in the name of the brotherhood, the humble official organized the strong men in the city into a militia, and let them be responsible for delivering food to the soldiers in the city or transporting the wounded...... Originally, all of this needed to be done by soldiers, but if it was replaced by militia, then all the 16,000 soldiers left in Xuchang could be sent to the city wall to defend against the rebels. ”

"Okay, that's a good idea."

Li Junshou nodded again and again, and immediately urged Zhao Yu to do it immediately.

Zhao Yu and Chen Lang bowed and retreated.

After leaving Li Junshou's study, Zhao Yu and Chen Lang glanced at each other with a tacit understanding.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Chen Lang arched his hand and whispered to Zhao Yu: "What instructions does Duwei Zhou have for the moment?" ”

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said: "You go with me to the Governor's Office first, I intend to ask Xun to join the army to organize the militia, and I will always need the assistance of 'Chen Juncheng'." ”

Hearing the words 'Chen Juncheng', Chen Lang suddenly showed an unconcealed smile on his face, and said again and again: "Thanks to Zhou Duwei's support, Chen will definitely be the only one who will look forward to Zhou Duwei in the future." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was naturally happy in his heart.

He has now mastered the county army, and Chen Lang, who has the opportunity to replace Song Shu as the county leader, is now also his person, as long as he establishes a 'brotherhood' in Xuchang and grasps the hearts of the people, the entire Xuchang will undoubtedly be gradually controlled by him like Kunyang back then.

Although there is also a Li Junshou above, it is not a problem, as long as the officials of the county guard are gradually replaced by his people, Li Junshou will become a clay sculpture offered by him, and he will be completely hollowed out by him in secret.

When that time comes, he can command the entire Yingchuan County in the name of Li Junshou.

Of course, it's too early to think about that.

Half an hour later, Zhao Yu returned to the Governor's Office with Chen Lang, Jingnu, Niu Heng, and He Shun.

As soon as he returned to his room, Zhao Yu saw Gong Cao joining the army and Xun Yi pacing back and forth in the house with an anxious face.

"Captain Zhou, you're back." TXT Book House

Suddenly seeing Zhao Yu, Xun Yi seemed to have found the backbone, and hurriedly said: "Just now, Hou Song of the East City Gate sent someone to summon the news, saying that he saw the rebels in the direction of Yanling outside the city......"

"I know."

Zhao Yu smiled and said with relief: "I heard the alarm bell when I met Li Junpu, and I knew that it was the rebels in the direction of Yanling. …… Did the Zhou Gong army withdraw? ”

"Huh?" Xun Yi asked with a look of surprise: "How did Captain Zhou know that the Zhou Gong army had retreated?" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yu told Xun Yi about Cao Suo's 10,000 county troops trapped in Yingyin, and immediately smiled and relieved: "That Zhou Gong is just here to threaten, so that I Xuchang does not dare to divide troops to reinforce Yingyin, and will not immediately attack the city, so you can rest assured that you can join the army." ”

"10,000 county troops are trapped in Yingyin, can you still laugh?" Xun Yi asked in amazement.

Zhao Yu spread his hands and said: "I said it all, that Yingyin is a trap, but Song Shu and Cao Suo don't listen, what can I do?" Fortunately, Li Junshou was wise, and finally dismissed Song Shu, and Chen Changshi temporarily took the post of county leader......"

“……”

Xun Yi turned his head to look at Chen Lang in shock.

"These two actually took the opportunity to persuade Li Junshou to dismiss Song Shu?"

He was slightly stunned, but quickly came back to his senses, after all, he didn't have much friendship with Song Shu.

He asked eagerly: "The top priority is to try to save Yingyin's 10,000 county troops. ”

Zhao Yu smiled and said with relief: "Join the army and rest assured, Li Junshou has sent someone to contact Cao Suo and ordered him to immediately lead the army to break through, and I will try to answer when the time comes." Considering that Xiang Xuan would not easily ask the 10,000 county troops to break through the encirclement, and the loss of troops would be inevitable, I had obtained the consent of Li Junshou and decided to organize a militia in the city...... Xun joins the army, do you still remember my brotherhood militia in Kunyang? If you join the army, you can organize it accordingly. ”

"Me?" Xun Yi was shocked and said, "Although I have seen the Brotherhood militia in Kunyang, I don't know how to organize it. ”

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "It's okay, in Xuchang City, there is a businessman named 'Chen Hu', he is also from Kunyang, and he has a lot of connections with me, I will send someone to visit him later, I believe he will definitely assist in joining the army......"

"Kunyang people? Will we help? Come on, that man must be a black tiger thief.'"

Xun Yi glanced at Zhao Yu speechlessly, and said with a little helplessness: "It seems that Zhou Duwei has been prepared." ”

"Haha."

Zhao Yugan laughed twice.

Seeing that Zhao Yu shook his head, Xun Yi finally took over the matter.

I have to say that Xun Yi has no ill feelings towards the Black Tiger Thief, and he doesn't mind the Black Tiger Thief expanding his power to Xuchang, because he believes that the Zhou leader in front of him can restrain his subordinates well, just like when he was in Kunyang.

In the afternoon of the same day, several guards sent by Li Junshou, after a long detour, finally found the west gate of Yingyin, where the rebel encirclement network was relatively weak, in Yingyin County, shouted 'I am the envoy of the county guard', and successfully entered the city.

Upon learning that Li Junshou had sent an envoy, Cao Suo immediately ordered someone to bring these guards to him, and asked eagerly, "What are the instructions of Lord Junshou?" When will Xuchang send reinforcements? ”

Hearing this, the guard at the head of the guard clasped his fists and said: "Captain Cao, I will convey the original words of the county guard, Xuchang is currently being dragged by the Zhou Gong rebels in the direction of Yanling, and it is impossible to send reinforcements, Li Jun Shou ordered you to immediately lead the army to break through to Xuchang, and when the time comes, Zhou Duwei will answer in Xuchang." ”

"Xuchang...... And they didn't send troops?'

Cao Suo's face changed slightly, and he said angrily: "The rebels outside the city are several times larger than me, how can I break through?" ”

The guard at the head was the guard next to Li Junshou, of course, he knew that this Cao Suo had completely lost his status in Li Junshou's heart, and he didn't care about Cao Suo's life or death at all, but he cared about the 10,000 county troops in Yingyin City.

Therefore, he was expressionless and said unceremoniously: "According to what Zhou Duwei said, although the three rebel armies outside Yingyin City, Xiang Xuan, Yan Xuan, and Zhong Fei outnumbered the troops under Cao Duwei, they set up camp overnight and hurried overnight, and this morning is already the end of the crossbow, if Cao Duwei could see this at that time, he would have broken through the siege early......"

"Zhou Hu ......"

Cao Suo's face flashed with a blue and white color, and he scolded angrily: "But that Zhou Hu slandered the county guard, refused to send reinforcements, and wanted to borrow a knife to kill people? What about Song Juncheng? How could Song Juncheng allow him to do this? ”

"Song Juncheng?"

Seeing Cao Suo's behavior, a trace of contempt flashed in the guard's eyes: "Due to the involvement of Cao Duwei, Song Juncheng has been dismissed by the county guard, and he has gone home to be idle, and now the county guard Shi Chen Lang and Lord Chen are in charge of the affairs of the county on their behalf." ”

"What?!"

Cao Suo was startled when he heard this, as if his strength had been drained, and he almost collapsed on the chair.

He knew he was done.

At the same time, Xiang Xuan was standing in front of Zhong Feijun's barracks, looking at the direction of Yingyin from afar.

Suddenly, he asked, "Xuchang...... Haven't sent troops to rescue Ying Yin yet? ”

"Yes." Left and right replied: "According to the scout's report, there is no change in Xuchang. ”

"Heh, do you hold your breath, or don't you want to take the risk? If Zhou Hu really doesn't send reinforcements, then I might as well ......

Looking at Yingyin City in the distance, Xiang Xuan was thoughtful.
