Xu Yuanxi said hatefully as he swung his fist fiercely, as if he was slapping Liu Yu in the face.

Hu Wenshou hurriedly grabbed the fist that Xu Yuanxi had just put down, and said in a low voice: "The general is angry, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Xu Yuanxi gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Tzu has been operating in this Shouchun City for more than 20 years, from a small officer to a general, this is my territory, no one can take it away, what is Liu Yu, a small building owner, only a few days ago, he wants to take away my foundation?" It's tolerable, it's unbearable! ”

Hu Wenshou smiled slightly: "General, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, then Liu Yu is prepared, step by step to realize his insidious plan, if we take away his military power in anger at this time, I am afraid that he will further incite the military in the city, and even mutiny to seize power, it may not be impossible." ”

Xu Yuanxi's eyes widened: "He dares, I still have five hundred Chinese army guards here, even if Liu Yu has three heads and six arms, I don't believe that he can defeat so many people." Also, if it really doesn't work, I can invite him to a banquet and lock him up. ”

Hu Wenshou sighed: "General, are you charged with arresting Liu Yu?" ”

Xu Yuanxi laughed: "Isn't it easy to find this charge, just say that he released the two boys of the Zhu family from prison privately, without my consent, so he has to take him down." ”

Hu Wenshou shook his head: "These two boys were released at the beginning, but it was something that thousands of people in the city knew, and at this time, it was difficult to convince the public because of Liu Yu's trouble. Besides, that Liu Yu has a majestic posture, and he has also experienced the last time Yang Qiu and others turned over the medicine, no matter whether he comes hard or makes a plan, he is afraid that he will not work. What's more, he still has more than 200 cavalry guards, and those people are also strong men, if you really make a move, you may not be able to take him down. ”

Xu Yuanxi was shocked when he heard this, and the sweat on his forehead was about to come out: "This, how can this be good?" Lao Hu, you have been with me for many years, you must come up with a good idea this time! ”

Hu Wenshou grinned, revealing a mouthful of gloomy white teeth: "Actually, this matter is not difficult. After all, you are still the main general in the city, holding the talisman, but Liu Yu took advantage of this, and after winning the task of defending the city, he established his prestige from the hearts of the soldiers and the people. ”

Xu Yuanxi gritted his teeth: "But this time he won a big victory and won the hearts of the army, I'm afraid that Lao Hu, your plan is going to fail." ”

Hu Wenshou sneered: "General, you know my old Hu, I have always left my hands behind in doing things, this trick doesn't work, just use another trick, his surname Liu can fight again, but the root of his life, but it's in our hands!" ”

Xu Yuan said in surprise: "The root of life? What is the root of life? Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, store grain?" ”

Hu Wenshou laughed: "Exactly, when I wanted the general to concentrate the grain in the Assassin's Mansion, I didn't disclose this intention, and since I talked about it today, there is nothing to hide, yes, my subordinates thought of this method because they considered that there should be a way to contain the surnamed Liu." ”

Xu Yuanxi nodded: "The most important thing in defending the city is food and grass, if the enemy army does not attack the city, it can also besiege it, if there is a problem with the food supply, then the hearts of the people in the city will fluctuate, or even break themselves." Now that the grain and grass are in my hands, I can divide as much as I want, and I can even mix sand in the grain, so that the sergeants will resent Liu Yu, and then give him a charge of deducting military rations, is this the case? ”

Hu Wenshou smiled slightly: "Forget about the sand, after all, the enemy army is still outside the city, although it won a while today, but there will be more hard battles in the future, as long as the soldiers know that it is your General Xu who has the final say in this city, not his surname Liu, it is enough." ”

Xu Yuanxi said softly: "What should I do?" ”

Hu Wenshou said with a smile: "The general will bring wine and meat now, go to Beicheng to work the army, and make some speeches when the time comes, telling the soldiers and civilians in the city that Liu Yu was sent by you to command, and there are fierce battles in other cities, and it is all up to your unified deployment to easily block it." The soldiers will remember the person who led them to victory, and they will also remember the person who gave them good food and drink, Liu Yu is under you after all, and he doesn't dare to refute it in person, so that the merit of today's victory will belong to the general. ”

Xu Yuanxi's brows stretched completely, and he said with a smile: "Lao Hu, you are still talented, this is all thought of for you." Okay, I'll go now. ”

He took a step forward and wanted to leave, but Hu Wenshou rolled his eyes and said hurriedly: "General, slow, there is one more thing." ”

Xu Yuanxi stopped, looked at Hu Wenshou, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "What's the matter?" You'd better finish it all at once. ”

Hu Wenshou nodded: "Also, the day before yesterday, when Liu Yu went to the city to inspect, he didn't know what kind of madness he had, and asked Yuen Long to take people to smear all the houses in the city, as well as the city towers, with the silt at the bottom of the well, making it smoky and ugly. ”

Xu Yuanxi smiled and said: "Old Hu, you can't blame Liu Yu for this, he is for fire attack." In this tactic, wood is smeared with mud to prevent fire. ”

Hu Wenshou sneered: "General, you didn't see through his intentions, he wanted to attack the fire, but to make all the buildings in the city dusty, ugly and dead, and his ultimate goal is here, to assassinate the Shifu." ”

Xu Yuan said in surprise: "What's in it for him?" ”

Hu Wenshou said: "The Thorn History Mansion is the capital of a state and a county, where the government is located, symbolizing authority, if you smear people with mud at the bottom of the well, then what majesty exists?" Ordinary people were originally hiding far away from here, and when they saw it, they were scared and their legs were weak, so that the general would make everything happen. But if even ordinary sergeants and ordinary people look at these mud-smeared assassins, point fingers, and even laugh at them, then general, will anyone still listen to your orders? ”

Xu Yuanxi looked at Hu Wenshou suspiciously: "No, this fire attack and mud is a conventional method in the military book, and it is not made up by Liu Yu!" ”

Hu Wenshou sneered: "If you want to say that those towers at the head of the city are within the range of the enemy's direct attack, it is okay to wipe the mud, but this Thorn Mansion is in the middle of the city, at least two miles away from the city wall, what enemy rockets can fly so far?" Liu Yu This is an excuse to attack your authority, don't be fooled! ”

Xu Yuanxi slapped his forehead suddenly: "Oops, I almost fell for this kid again!" Quick, go and clean me the mud that was smeared outside the Thorn Mansion! ”
