"Zhou Hu?"

Seeing Zhao Yu standing still for a long time, Xue Ao reminded loudly: "Have you finished reading?" ”

"Ah, I'm done."

Zhao Yu woke up like a dream, nodding in response to Xue Ao while adjusting his mood.

I have to say that it was obviously a letter from the coach of the righteous division Chen Miao to Xue Ao, but the payment was written with the pseudonym 'Zhao Bohu' of his brother Zhao Yin, which really caught Zhao Yu off guard.

Fortunately, he wore a mask on his face, which covered his gaffe to a certain extent.

"What do you think?" Xue Ao pointed to the letter in Zhao Yu's hand.

"Well...... this"

While adjusting his emotions, Zhao Yu replied pretending not to care: "Actually, the rebels have already made it very clear, 'If the shame is not lost, there is still a man's mind, and he will return as soon as possible and make an appointment to fight. It can be seen that the rebels are only trying to provoke the general with humiliating words, and force the general to lead his army out of the camp to engage him......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.

According to his estimates, at this time, the righteous master should have also learned the bad news that Kaifeng and Kaoxian were successively captured by his Jin army, with Chen Miao's vision, even though he failed to detect Xue Ao's intentions for a while, but after Kaifeng was captured by the Jin army, Zhao Yu believed that Chen Miao would definitely be able to realize Xue Ao's intentions immediately.

However, in this case, the righteous master should find a way to recapture Kaifeng first - of course, this matter is not so easy, even if Zhao Yu actually wants to release water to the righteous master, but at this time, he will definitely not dare to deliberately lose Kaifeng, so as not to cause Xue Ao's unhappiness and suspicion.

What is surprising is that Chen Miao actually sent someone to send this provocative and humiliating letter, wanting to provoke Xue Ao to lead the army out of the camp to fight a decisive battle with him, does this mean that the righteous master has given up on retaking Kaifeng County?

After all, in the current weather that is not conducive to attacking the city, if the righteous division wants to recapture Kaifeng, it is necessary to draw heavy troops to Kaifeng, and the transfer of heavy troops will undoubtedly reduce the chances of the decisive battle between the righteous division and the Jin army.

Judging from the intensity of the rhetoric of this provocative letter, it is obvious that the righteous master has chosen to 'force the war', which means that the righteous master will give up on retaking Kaifeng County.

"A wise and risky choice......

Zhao Yu secretly commented in his heart, after all, he also knew that it would not work for the righteous master to recapture Kaifeng, and Xue Ao would not allow the righteous master to recapture Kaifeng.

"Well, that's what I thought, too."

After hearing Zhao Yu's answer, Xue Ao nodded slightly, but immediately, a little suspicious look appeared on his face, and he wrapped his arms around and said slowly: "But I'm surprised, how dare the rebels take the initiative to invite battle?" ”

Hearing this, Wei Bi interjected on the side: "Probably the rebels also know that our side will not ask him to easily recapture Kaifeng, so they want to take advantage of the opportunity to fight our army while our troops are divided." …… In order to seize Kaifeng and Kao County, our side also sent nearly 20,000 soldiers. ”

"Well, it's possible."

Xue Ao nodded solemnly, and then said with a smile: "This Chen Miao, you really can't be underestimated...... Unexpectedly, he had the courage to ignore Kaifeng and directly force us to fight...... Wei Bi, do you think I should fight? ”

Hearing this, Wei Bi glanced at the letter in Zhao Yu's hand, and said with a fist: "Looking at the letter sent by the rebels, it seems that the rebels still mistakenly think that the general is a vulgar, reckless, and ignorant ...... the art of war."

"Hey, hey, hey." Xue Ao interrupted angrily: "Don't think I don't know that you want to scold me through the mouth of the rebels......"

"How so?" Wei Bi smiled, and then straightened his expression and said, "If the rebels still think so, why don't the generals push the boat down the river?" ”

"You mean, go out of the camp to fight it?" Xue Ao frowned.

"Of course not!" Wei Bi raised his voice and said angrily: "At present, there are only more than 10,000 Yingchuan troops of Zhou Duwei, 30,000 Henan counties of Li Duwei, plus 5,000 Taiyuan infantry soldiers in my camp, a total of 45,000 troops, even if Tong Yan leads 30,000 Liangcheng troops to help, it is only 75,000 people, how can they confront the rebel army known as '300,000'?" Does this obvious thing need to be reminded of the end of the future? ”

"You ......" Xue Ao grinded his teeth hatefully, and said impatiently: "You just say what you think!" ”

"I mean, the general can also write a reply to scold back, but there is no need to go out of the camp to fight......"

Wei Bi turned his head to look at Zhao Yu and Li Meng, and continued: "The rebels took the initiative to invite the battle, which is nothing more than that they thought that they could not recapture Kaifeng at a small price, so they changed their strategy and tried to defeat our army with the advantage of troops, but we have no reason to agree to them, right?" Our army can rely on the strategy of cutting off the grain route to cause the rebels to collapse themselves! Therefore, the last general suggested that our army should focus on holding the fortress at present and avoid a decisive battle with the rebels. ”

"Hmm."

Xue Ao nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Zhao Yu and Li Meng: "Zhou Hu, Li Meng, what do you two think?" ”

Zhao Yu and Li Meng glanced at each other, and both agreed with Wei Bi's opinion.

Seeing this, Xue Ao let out a long breath and said angrily: "Last time, in order to lure the rebels, Lao Tzu lost face, and he was actually mistaken by those rebels for reckless and vulgar ......."

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, hooked his finger towards Zhao Yu, and ordered, "Zhou Hu, give me that letter." ”

"Yes."

Zhao Yu handed the letter in his hand to Xue Ao according to his words.

I saw Xue Ao take the letter from Zhao Yu's hand, stared at the contents of the letter inexplicably, and said sullenly: "Zhao Bohu...... This man dares to humiliate me so much, and when he is captured one day, I will take care of him. ”

『……』

Zhao Yu glanced at Xue Ao quietly and said nothing.

A moment later, Zhao Yu returned to his camp, lying on the sleeper in his tent with his hands on his pillow, thoughtful.

His brother Zhao Yin and Zhao Bohu were actually among the 300,000 righteous teachers, Zhao Yu was a little surprised by this, but it was not completely unexpected.

After all, even if he was trying to catch Tong Yan's enemy, his brother obviously had the same purpose.

In contrast, the provocative letter sent by the righteous teacher today made him feel more and more concerned.

And the biggest suspicion is that his brother Zhao Yin's pseudonym 'Zhao Bohu' appeared in the place where the letter was signed, and it stands to reason that there should be a famous Chen Miao, after all, Chen Miao is the commander of the 300,000 righteous teachers.

Even if Chen Miao's writing is not good and he needs his brother Zhao Yin's ghostwriting, he won't write the name of his brother Zhao Bohu, right?

Zhao Bohu wrote on behalf of Chen Miao......

Zhao Bohu ...... on behalf of Chen Miao

Not? Zhao Bohu on behalf of Chen Miao?!

『…… No way! Wouldn't it?'

Zhao Yu sat up on the bed abruptly, and a few hints of discoloration flashed in his eyes.

According to common sense, since it is a letter written by the commander of the righteous division to the commander of the Jin army, it should be signed with Chen Miao's name, and now, Zhao Bohu's name suddenly appears in that letter, there is only one possibility - in order to convey some kind of message.

What is the message?

After thinking about it, it is only possible that the elder brother intended to convey a message to his younger brother who was mixed in the Jin army: Now that I am in charge of the righteous master on behalf of Chen Miao, I am going to do something, do you think you want to cooperate?

Considering Mr. Ram's prestige in Jiangdong Yishi, now, the 300,000 righteous teachers led by Chen Miao and others are in a predicament, in this case, Chen Miao asked Mr. Ram's disciple, that is, his Zhao Yu's brother Zhao Yin Zhao Bohu, this does not seem to be an impossible thing to happen.

Otherwise, Zhao Yu really couldn't think of anything else.

『…… Did he calculate that Xue Ao would show me the letter? When did that kid become so smart?'

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

You must know that in his impression, his brother Zhao Yin is honest, responsible and wooden, and he is not a very clever person.

And now, this brother can actually think of subtly transmitting a message to him in this way, which is really a bit unexpected by Zhao Yu.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but my ability has risen."

Zhao Yu sat on the bed with his arms folded and thought secretly.

After figuring out the link of 'Chen Miao or Zhao Bohu', Zhao Yu finally understood why the rebels showed signs of 'giving up on retaking Kaifeng' and instead forced the Jin army to fight with them, because the decision-makers had changed.

But what exactly does Zhao Yin want to do?

Zhao Yu frowned and thought.

Judging from the current situation, Zhao Yin's tactic is to 'ignore Kaifeng and Kaoxian' and force the Jin army under Xue Ao with all his might, and the purpose of this is obviously to capture Liangcheng.

In other words, when the grain road was about to be threatened, Zhao Yin did not intend to withdraw his troops, but decided to strengthen the offensive against Liangcheng, and the first step in the offensive was undoubtedly to try to destroy the camp of the Jin army......

"Zhao Yin wants to sneak attack the Jin camp? In this way, he deliberately wrote that extremely humiliating letter, not to provoke Xue Ao and force him to fight, but to make Xue Ao realize the righteous teacher's 'eagerness to fight'...... It seems that Zhao Yin and the others have seen through that Xue Ao is deliberately pretending to be unplanned, so he is sure that Xue Ao will definitely choose to temporarily avoid the edge of the righteous division, so as to wait for the righteous division to collapse, and once the Jin army chooses to temporarily retreat and shrink the defensive line, the suburbs will be controlled by the righteous division, and then the righteous division can fully launch a sneak attack on the Jin camp...... And what he wants me to do is probably ask me to set fire to the camp while the righteous master is attacking the camp......

"It's a headache." Zhao Yu raised his hand and grabbed his hair.

When the righteous master attacked his camp, he asked him to take the opportunity to set fire to the camp?

To put it lightly!

But......

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yu summoned He Shun, the chief of the guard, and asked, "He Shun, are the three hundred brigade wolves led by Xu Rao, Lexing, and Hao Shun still active in the area of the rebel camp?" ”

"Yes." He Shun nodded and asked, "Does the Great Leader have something to tell them?" ”

Zhao Yu groaned for a moment and said, "Tell them to go to Kaifeng immediately." ”

"Kaifeng?"

"Hmm." Zhao Yu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Next, cutting off the rebel army's grain route will be the main strategy of our army, and we must ensure the safety of Kaifeng County, although Kaifeng currently has Zhang Ji and Cao Wu nearly 8,000 soldiers stationed, but only Xu Bai and Wang hired 200 brigade wolves, and want to completely control the suburbs, I think that the brigade wolves over there are understaffed, and ask Xu Rao to help Xu Bai and Wang Ping!" ”

"Yes!" He Shun clenched his fists and left.

"Alright, the most powerful scout on my Jin army's side, I have solved it for you, just do it."

Looking at He Shun's departing back, Zhao Yu thought secretly.

The next day, Chen Miao received a reply from Xue Ao and said to Zhao Yin: "As expected by the son, although Xue Ao scolded in the letter and used vulgar words, he did not mention the invitation to fight......

"Hmm." Zhao Yin nodded calmly and asked again, "Is there anything else?" ”

"One more thing."

Chen Miao frowned slightly and said: "According to the scout's report, the hundreds of 'Kunyang wolves' who were active in the vicinity of our army before lost their traces last night for some reason, and they did not attack our army's patrol guards again......

"Maybe Zhou Hu transferred it to Kaifeng, right? …… You know, holding Kaifeng is the main strategic ...... of the Jin army at present"

After being slightly stunned, Zhao Yin showed an inexplicable smile on his face.

He knew that his brother had received his message.

And a message was sent to him.
