Chapter Ninety-Three: Ambush

"My lord, the minister has a bold guess!"

"Tell me about it!"

"Yang Zichuan is trying to seize the position of the Ninety-Five!" Xu Shu's words shocked Liu De a lot.

"How is that possible? Then Yang Zichuan has passed the age of ear shun, and he has no heirs, how can he have such an ambitious idea? Liu De was a little unconvinced.

"Lord, Yang Zichuan doesn't have this idea, so what about the Yang family?" Xu Shu pointed. "The Yang family is a big family, inherited for a hundred years, and the fourth generation occupies the third public position. Although no one in the Yang family has served as the third prince since Mrs. Yang's official affairs, the Yang family's protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, and most of the Yang family's sons and nephews are important members of one place, according to my guess, there are many rebellions in various states I am afraid that the Yang family is behind the scenes, just like Yang Zichuan instructed Qin Ze, the Yang family also took this opportunity to continue to recruit soldiers and hoard strength. Now that His Majesty the Emperor is critically ill, I am afraid that he will not last long, the two princes are young, no matter who succeeds to the throne, it will inevitably cause a situation where the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and at that time, the Yang family will coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, and finally replace him..."

"In other words, Yang Zichuan's continuous accumulation of wealth is just to recruit soldiers for the Yang family?"

"That's right, in Yanzhou, only smuggling is the easiest way to get a large amount of money, which is also the main reason why Yang Zichuan must destroy the two cities of Dongyu and Leyang."

"Then why did Yang Zichuan use this trick before this? Yang Zichuan wanted to smuggle through Dongyu City a long time ago, why wait until now? Liu De asked.

Xu Shu explained to Liu De: "Lord, that's because Donghu was dragged by the Beihu and Qiang tribes, so Lin Hu freed up his hands to raise an army of 300,000 to attack Leyang City. If you send fewer troops, you can't beat Leyang, and if you send more troops, you are afraid that the nest will be attacked by other tribes, so this strategy is the best time to use it at this time. ”

Liu Decai suddenly said: "The Yang family's heart is not small!" Now that the Lin Hu army is stationed outside the city, how can we break the enemy! ”

"Lord, in order to reduce the losses of our army, we should not fight Lin Hu head-on, and now the city wall is damaged and cannot be defended, so we have to go out!"

"Get out? Where to go? ”

"To the south! Lin Hu's main goal is to eliminate our army, so our army evacuated from Baoshan, Lin Hu must pursue, there is a dense forest in the south, now it is autumn, the trees are withered and yellow, all are flammable dead leaves and branches, lure Lin Hu into the forest, in the arson, the enemy will break! Xu Shu swiped his finger on the table to indicate the location of the southern jungle.

"How can the enemy enter so easily?"

"I wonder if the lord has the courage to lure the enemy?" Xu Shu used a small agitation method.

"Hahaha! Sir, you underestimate me, since I took charge of Dongyu, after several battles, Donghu 100,000 troops attacked my Dongyu, I personally held a spear to kill a few enemies, what is the difficulty of luring the enemy. Liu De laughed and responded to Xu Shu's agitation.

"Good! The lord is really brave! Xu Shu praised.

Liu De touched his chin, which was already a little stubble, and said worriedly: "It's just that if our army leaves, won't the people of Baoshan be in danger?" ”

Xu Shu knew Liu De's doubts and comforted: "Lord, Lin Hu's goal is us, as long as our army is still there, Lin Hu will not do anything to the people of Baoshan, please rest assured!" ”

Liu De nodded at this time, expressed his understanding, drank the tea that was already a little cold in front of him, stood up and said: "Without further ado, I will now gather the generals to distribute orders, and I hope that Mr. will go with me!" ”

"As it should be!"

Xu Shu nodded.

Liu De sent Dian Wei to summon the generals to come to the county government to discuss matters, and he and Xu Shu took the first step, on the way, Xu Shu said: "Lord, there is a reluctant invitation below." ”

"Sir, please say, but whatever I can, I will not refuse!"

Xu Shu lightly twisted his beard and said: "When I first arrived, I didn't have any credit at all, I am afraid that the generals will not accept it, and I hope that the lord will give me the Chixiao Sword to call the generals!" ”

"What's so hard about that!"

Liu De untied the Chixiao sword in his waist and handed it to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu respectfully took the sword with both hands and went to the main hall with Liu De.

......

Liu De looked at the generals under his seat, introduced Xu Shu to the generals, and said: "From now on, Mr. Xu will be the military advisor of our Dongyu Army, do you understand?" ”

"We understand! Meet the Strategist! ”

The generals visited Xu Shu under the leadership of Yan Nan, Liu Gui, Gongsun Qi, and Guan Yu, although the soldiers basically never heard of this person's reputation, and they don't know what this Mr. Xu is capable of? But since the lord has said so, the generals put aside their doubts and are ready to see what kind of ability Xu Junshi has!

Liu Dedao: "Military advisor, please also tell the generals about the strategy we discussed just now to break the enemy." ”

"Yes!"

Xu Shu bowed.

When Xu Shu finished speaking, the generals were in an uproar, Liu Gui took the lead and couldn't bear it, and hurriedly came out to object: "Lord, as the old saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, how can he let the lord take risks in person, you are willing to lure the enemy army for the lord, and please allow the lord!" ”

Gongsun Qi also stood up and reprimanded: "I don't know what the military advisor means, I actually let the lord personally lure the enemy, the battlefield is full of dangers, and the hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, as a general, we don't dare to relax in the slightest, the lord's martial arts are low... Belch.. Not good at martial arts, but there is a bad pool, can you afford it? ”

Liu De calmed down, Gongsun Qi's personality is like this, he is kind, not intentional, calm, calm! The world is so wonderful, but I'm so grumpy, it's not good...

Xu Shu flashed the Chixiao Sword in his hand and shouted: "The lord's sword is here, those who don't listen to the order, cut it!" ”

The other generals saw the sword in Xu Shu's hand and looked at Liu De one after another.

Liu De saw the generals looking over, stood up, pressed his hand down, and signaled the generals to be quiet: "I'm just going to lure the enemy and not to rush into battle to kill the enemy, what's the danger, I have agreed to this plan, you have to say more, if you dare to be disrespectful to the military division, don't blame me for military law!" Ask the advisor for the order! ”

Xu Shu nodded and ordered: "The generals will listen to the order!" Ordered Yan Nan and Liu Guier to lead their headquarters to go south first, set up fire in the dense forest, and then ambush left and right, waiting for my order, and the rockets will be launched together! ”

"Yes!"

Yan Nan and Liu Gui glanced at each other and stepped forward to take the military order.

"Order the two captains Guan Yu and Chen Qi to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to meet the enemy, only defeat but not victory, and lead the enemy army south!"

"Guan Yu takes the order!" Guan Yu took over the military order.

Xu Shu drew out a military order and said: "Order the lord to set up an ambush in front of the dense forest, wait for Captain Guan to lure the enemy army and kill him, and escape into the forest after defeat." ”

"Liu De takes the order!"

"In order to order Gongsun Qi to lead the cavalry to ambush the rear flank of Lin Hu's army, wait until the fire in the forest rises, and lead the army to kill!"

"Yes!" Gongsun Qi received the order.

"All ministries act according to the plan, and don't make mistakes!"

"Yes!" The generals nodded in agreement, and Guan Yu secretly said to Gongsun Qi: "Just rely on him first, see what he is capable of, and if something goes wrong, come to him for trouble!" ”

Gongsun nodded in agreement.

The generals left one after another and mobilized their troops and horses.
