Chapter Twenty-Seven: Solving the Trouble
"My presence?"
Liu Zheng's face sank, and he didn't quite understand what Xu You wanted to say.
"The defeat of Runan City, once it is made public, will definitely be a big blow to the Yellow Turban Army, although it will not make the Yellow Turban Army collapse all at once, but it will definitely make the Yellow Turban Army to the end of the road. It will be difficult for the Yellow Turban Army to make any waves, but your appearance makes me a little unable to see through it. ”
"How?"
"You're not like the rest of the Yellow Turbans."
"Heh, what's the difference?"
Regarding Xu You's words, Liu Zheng scoffed a little.
"The other Yellow Turban thieves are nothing more than some wine bags and rice bags, it's okay to win the battle, but when you reach a disadvantage, you will definitely lose, and you are different, you can gather people's hearts at a critical moment, let these Yellow Turban thieves drive for you, you are much more powerful than other Yellow Turban Qu Shuai."
"Let me say, Bocai is not as good as you."
When Xu You was in the east of Runan City, he saw the battle between Liu Zheng and Sun Jianjun throughout the whole process.
I was also quite surprised that Liu Zheng was able to defeat Sun Jian, and it was precisely because of this that Xu You was already disappointed in the Yellow Turban Army, but at this time, he saw hope again.
"I didn't expect Mr. Xu You to look up to me so much, but I didn't expect it."
"Although you are different from those Yellow Turban thieves, if you continue to run away with your own will, your final result will be defeat."
Xu You just finished saying a word of appreciating Liu Zheng, and then poured a basin of cold water on Liu Zheng's head, making Liu Zheng, who was a little fluttering, immediately return to reality.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Hehe, although we escaped from the East City Gate and walked one step ahead of the official army, but when the officers and soldiers at the North City Gate reacted, they would inevitably send troops to chase and kill, and the pursuers would definitely not be infantry, but definitely cavalry, if my expectations were correct, it should be Cao Mengde's guy, with the cavalry under his command to pursue."
"Liu Zhengqu Shuai, although you have thousands of soldiers and horses under your command, once you are caught up by Cao Mengde's cavalry, what will happen?"
"If it is in a head-to-head battle, with Liu Zhengqu's ability to command you, I guess you may not necessarily lose against Cao Cao's cavalry, but in the current situation, you are running all the way to escape, looking nervous and disengaged, once you are pursued by Cao Jun's cavalry, it will be a one-sided situation!"
After Xu You's words were finished, he immediately made Liu Zheng's expression change slightly. He also quickly realized that what Xu You said was true. If you keep fleeing, if there are pursuers coming from behind. The morale of these soldiers and horses that have been gathered with great difficulty will be severely damaged again, and then it will really be a collapse.
However, Liu Zheng was not desperate, and he quickly looked at Xu You again. Then he asked Xu You with a little respect.
"I know Mr. Xu You, there must be a way to crack it, and please don't hesitate to give me advice."
"Although I do have a way to crack it, why should I tell Qu Shuai about you?"
Liu Zheng smiled, knowing that Xu Yu was asking him for favors.
"Mr. Xu You, you're not saving me, you're saving yourself. If Cao Cao really chased after him, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape. ”
Liu Zheng is not a person who will compromise easily, although he has already guessed Xu You's intentions, he still did not directly agree to Xu You.
"Even if Cao Jun really comes, Cao Mengde and I are old acquaintances, and he may not be embarrassed for me!"
"Yes, Mr. Xu You, you are now with the anti-thief, with Cao Mengde's temperament, I am afraid that even if you are an old acquaintance with him, he will treat you as a anti-thief."
Liu Zheng responded to Xu You with a smile, and as soon as he said this sentence, Xu You was immediately speechless.
It is impossible to refute Liu Zheng.
However, Liu Zheng did not continue to embarrass Xu You, but immediately gave Xu You a step down.
"Mr. Xu You, as long as you can help me get through this difficulty, I will worship you as a military advisor, and in the future, I will live up to you!"
The previous words were Liu Zheng's uncompromising, and the latter sentence was what allowed Liu Zheng to raise his status to a height with Xu You.
It's not that Liu Zheng has to ask Xu You, it's just that Liu Zheng knows Xu You's ability, although Xu You's reputation is not very good in history, but there is still something in his stomach, if he Liu Zheng wants to make a difference in this era, he always needs the help of some capable people.
It is impossible to achieve great things alone.
Now under his command, there are two generals, Xu Huang and Pei Yuanshao, but there is a lack of a strategist, Xu You may be the best choice.
"Okay, Liu Zhengqu is really refreshing, I like people like you, but there is one thing you must promise me."
Xu You was also happy, and after Liu Zheng said his request, Xu You agreed.
"What's the matter?"
"If I can't tell you about this yet, I can guarantee that it will definitely make me rich and rich."
Xu You smiled, revealing a touch of mystery.
It seems that he deliberately sold a pass and didn't tell Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng didn't ask any more.
"No problem, please also ask Mr. Xu You to tell me how to deal with the pursuit of the officers and soldiers in the future!"
"Hey, it's easy to break the chasing soldiers of the official army. Since you know you can't run, why don't you just fight them? ”
"Hit?"
Xu You's relaxed tone made Liu Zheng's expression look awkward, although he realized something.
"That's right, since we know that there will be pursuers behind, then we simply don't run away and set up an ambush here, the officers and soldiers never thought that we would hit their pursuers halfway, and if we were surprised, it would inevitably make the pursuers chaotic!"
"When the time comes, we will occupy the initiative, and we will still have the first opportunity, and we may not be able to fight with the pursuers behind!"
Xu You's proposal immediately made Liu Zheng think quickly.
Rather than fleeing for their lives, it is better to ambush and deal with the pursuers, which is indeed a way for them to take it in stride.
"Mr. Xu You's plan is very good!"
"I've picked the location for you, there is a dense forest at the intersection where we came just now, it's not difficult to hide the soldiers and horses from a few fronts, and you will divide the soldiers and horses into two waves later......"
Xu You approached Liu Zheng and told Liu Zheng in detail what he thought in his heart and how to fight this ambush battle.
Liu Zheng listened to Xu You's description and nodded again and again, indicating that he understood.
Soon, Liu Zheng hid all his men and horses according to Xu You's instructions, and the ambush plan began, waiting for the pursuing soldiers of the official army to arrive.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the trampling sound of war horses was heard on the road ahead, which immediately made Liu Zheng, who was ambushed here, nervous.
"It's coming! Everyone, prepare! ”
