Chen Jianhu was secretly a little annoyed in his heart - he hadn't finished his words yet, how did you know that I only thought of this?

However, the other party was the first Wu Du to follow Deng Maoqi's uprising, although he was not angry at this moment, he could only arch his hand: "What Mr. Wu said is very true, so I think it is ...... below."

Wu Du didn't give him face at all, and waved his fan again to interrupt Chen Jianhu's words, and said slowly: "Besides, although our army has more than 7,000 people at present, it has suffered defeats in successive sieges, and its morale is not as strong as before......

This Wu Du interrupted himself twice in a row, so rude, Chen Jianhu gritted his teeth in annoyance, and grabbed the words: "In this case, then Mr. Wu is planning to retreat to avoid his edge?" ”

"But Mr. Wu should not forget one thing, if we retreat all the way to the east, we can only retreat to the vast ocean in the end, and then there is no way to retreat, we can only fight with 40,000 officers and soldiers on the seaside in the extreme east, if we are defeated, I am afraid that there will be no room for turnaround!"

Deng Maoqi frowned slightly, he was obviously thinking about this question - war, I'm afraid he can't beat the other party's four-way army.

But if you run away and are chased by the officers and soldiers all the way, do you really want to fight against the water?

He pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and asked, "Then, according to Mr. Chen's thoughts, what should our army do?" ”

Chen Jianhu glanced at Wu Du's face as if he had not yet done so, and then arched his hand and said: "In my opinion, we should take advantage of the fact that before the officers and soldiers have closed the siege, we should go west and jump out of their encirclement. ”

"Hmph." Wu Du snorted coldly, and said coldly on the side: "It's easy to say, hasn't Mr. Chen forgotten that our current opponent is not only the army of the four routes, but also the guards of the cities?" But one Yanping has more than 5,000 people. If we fail, we will be attacked in an instant, and there will be no way out! ”

Chen Jianhu frowned and asked rhetorically: "If we are really surrounded by officers and soldiers, it will naturally be a battle to the death, but if we retreat all the way south, I am afraid that we can only continue to wear down the morale of the army, and in the end, we will not even have the strength to fight!" ”

Deng Maoqi saw that these two literati were about to quarrel, so he waved his hand and frowned: "At present, the great enemy is present, and this Shaxian County is categorically unable to hold it, so we will first follow Chen Junshi's words, feint all the way, and wait for an opportunity to break through the encirclement of officers and soldiers." ”

"Mao Qi!" Wu Du stomped his feet and screamed.

Deng Maoqi raised his hand and blocked Wu Du's speech, before continuing: "If the rest of the officers and soldiers come to the aid immediately, we will no longer be in love with the war and retreat directly to the south. ”

Deng Maoqi has always been an assertive person, he actually had a psychological expectation for the large-scale arrival of the officers and soldiers, and he had also done some corresponding thinking, but he didn't expect that Ye Zongliu, who was originally on the north to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, would be defeated so quickly and so completely.

Before meeting Chen Jianhu, he had the idea of interspersing and breaking through, but then he thought of several surrounding towns, except for Shaxian, which is his own territory, and each of the rest of the cities was stationed with more than 1,000 or more than 1,000 officers and soldiers.

Even if he broke through the encirclement of the officers and soldiers, if he was chased by the tail, then he would run out of ammunition and food, and I am afraid that he would follow the same path as Ye Zongliu.

It is precisely because of this kind of consideration that Deng Maoqi will choose to fight first - if the opponent's combat strength is weak, he will not only be able to break through the encirclement, but also be able to rob the officers and soldiers of the grain and grass, and then capture some small cities in northern Fujian to replenish supplies......

If the opponent's combat effectiveness is strong, and if you want to eat the opponent, you will break your muscles and bones, then you will retreat at the first touch, so as not to be cut off by the officers and soldiers in Yanping, Youxi and other places......

"That's all for today, you guys hurry up your preparations, and when I return, you can act according to the plan!" Deng Maoqi spoke and acted in a straightforward and resolute manner, and after saying his decision, he waved his hand to end the meeting, which only lasted half an hour.

Chen Jian walked out in a daze, and was about to pull a small soldier to ask where to eat, when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.

When he looked back, it was Wu Du, who was arguing with him in front of Deng Maoqi.

Wu Du changed his expression at this moment, as if he had become an amiable old gentleman, he smiled at Chen Jianhu and said, "Mr. Chen, how about you go have a drink?" ”

Chen Jianhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and followed Wu Duxing out of the courtyard.

A moment later, in the small restaurant in front of the county yamen, the two sat opposite each other.

The wine is not mellow or fragrant, and the food is simple and refreshing, which is like a vegetarian meal in the temple.

Wu Du arched his hand and said apologetically: "Don't blame Mr. Chen, the grain and grass have been tight recently, and it is good to have a sip of wine to drink on weekdays, and the meals in the barracks are not a little bit oil-"

Before he finished his polite words, Chen Jianhu smiled, raised his chopsticks and picked up a piece of green vegetables, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu is too polite, I have fallen into such a field now, it is enough to have a bite of food!" ”

Wu Du squinted at Chen Jianhu, neither speaking nor moving chopsticks.

Chen Jianhu has been running around for several days in a row, but he has never even drunk a sip of clean water, although this meal is simple at the moment, but it is comparable to a delicacy for him now.

When Chen Jianhu was gobbling up a piece of tofu in his mouth, Wu Du finally opened his mouth, his voice was lowered, and he said quite mysteriously: "Mr. Chen, I heard that you are fighting in Jiangxi......

Chen Jianhu was suddenly stunned, and immediately thought that he had brought so many people over, so naturally someone would tell Deng Maoqi's people about it......

Thinking of this, he nodded, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said: "It's all because that Chen Xingzhi broke up with Canghuotou, Canghuotou is an honest and honest person, this person has no scheming at all, so he fell for the government's divisive plan, and I have to say that the king was killed by me......"

Wu Du raised two long eyebrows, and leaned forward with interest: "Then, the king Ye Zongliu, is it - died at the hands of Mr.?" ”

Chen Jianhu took a sharp breath, then glared, and said in amazement: "I have so much respect for King Ye, how dare I attack him?" What's more, King Ye has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has superb martial arts, and I, Chen Jianhu, am just a scholar, where can I kill him? ”

Wu Du smiled when he saw Chen Jianhu's vigilant face, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, don't be excited, today is just a casual conversation, I asked casually, just joking." ”

Chen Jianhu raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Du suspiciously, his expression changed a few times, and then he frowned and said, "Mr. Wu, it's better not to make such jokes." ”
