Although Liu Futong was the commander of the righteous army at this time, after all, he was also born as the master of the Ming Sect, and the meat dish he was preparing at the moment was just a deliberate test of Wen Xuan's city, and he didn't dare to really use the position of marshal to drink wine and eat meat in front of Wen Xuan, so after the two agreed to rank in the army, the meat and wine were quickly withdrawn.

Wen Xuan and Mu Chong were unimpressed by Liu Futong's temptation, but Tie Niu frowned dissatisfiedly and didn't say a word.

Mu Chong, who was sitting next to the iron bull, saw that he was unhappy, and gently stabbed him twice under the table, and then threw a gentle smile, saying that he and Wen Xuan would not blame their brothers for this kind of thing.

Tie Niu was a little relieved, but he was still extremely dissatisfied with Liu Futong in his heart.

In his opinion, this kind of intrigue can be regarded as a shrewd move on Du Zundao and others, but treating his family like this is undoubtedly dirty and even a little despicable, which greatly reduces Liu Futong's righteous and awe-inspiring image in his heart.

After everyone ate something amicably on the surface, Pan Cheng, who looked like a smiling tiger, squinted his eyes and pulled the topic back to the seemingly critical battle situation: "I don't know how the combat strength of these 30,000 soldiers brought by Wen Qianhu is?" ”

Wen Xuan put down his chopsticks when he heard this, and replied with a smile: "Most of them are villagers who have joined the army in recent months, if they rely on their numerical superiority to attack some local villages and counties, it is okay, and I am afraid it will be easy to defeat them in a large-scale frontal battle with the regular Yuan soldiers." ”

"Tut-tut, so the reinforcements brought by Wen Qianhu are simply a group of unarmed people?" Guan Duo on the other end became angry, he never believed that this young man of the Wen family had the ability to change the situation of the war.

Tie Niu was already on fire in his heart, where could Guan Duo continue to sneer at Wen Xuan, his palm the size of a fan suddenly slapped on the table, stood up, pointed at Guan Duo's nose and scolded: "You are really shameless!" If it weren't for the fact that you were defeated by Gong Buban and lost several counties one after another, how could we be so passive? Now you are sneering at the brothers who support you, what is the difference between you and the thief of Du Zundao? ”

Guan Duo was scolded by Tie Niu's nose, his whole face immediately turned cold, and he said with color: "Lao Tzu was defeated in a head-to-head confrontation with that group of thieves, what about you Li Tieniu?" The brethren have managed to put together a cavalry army for you, but you have led it to attack the county seat, I really don't know how much paste you have poured into your head! ”

Tie Niu was about to return the favor when he heard this, but he heard Liu Futong shout loudly, "Shut up!" ”

"Is it really glorious to have suffered defeat? I'm embarrassed to say it and make outsiders laugh! ”

Liu Futong rarely gets angry on weekdays, but this time he was obviously provoked by Guan Duo and Tie Niu, and his clenched fists trembled slightly.

Guan Duo saw that Liu Futong was really angry, and after snorting coldly at Tie Niu, he sat down first, but Tie Niu was not to be outdone, grabbed Liu Futong's speechless place and asked: "All of them here are their own brothers, where are any outsiders from?" Could it be that Marshal Liu has regarded me Li Tieniu as an outsider from beginning to end! ”

Pan Cheng saw that a few people were really angry, and hurriedly started a round: "Everyone is angry, what can't you say to sit down and talk about it?" Why quarrel! ”

Pan Cheng stood up and walked to Tie Niu's side, pressed him to his seat, and beckoned someone to serve tea to everyone.

It is common for people in the Ming Sect to quarrel when discussing things, and Wen Xuan did not intervene when the iron ox was angry, and did not sweep his gaze to the people on the table until the hot tea was delivered to him and took a small sip.

"Although the Yuan court is in turmoil, it is still an indisputable fact that the Mongol soldiers can fight well, and it is not easy for you to resist the Yuan soldiers for so long.

"How to break the enemy?"

After Wen Xuan said this, everyone except Mu Chong looked at him in unison, even Liu Futong was no exception, "Wen Qianhu, do you really have such a certainty?" ”

Wen Xuan smiled and asked, "How do you know if you don't try?" ”

Liu Futong was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Qianhu doesn't know, after a few big battles, our army is already sleepy and demoralized, if I hadn't relied on military orders to forcibly suppress it, I'm afraid that there would have been chaos in the city long ago." It's just a matter of defending the city, and if your strategy is to go out of the city to fight, I'm afraid it won't be so simple to win. ”

Wen Xuan did not directly say his plan, but analyzed the reasons for the frequent defeats of the Red Turban Army this time: "In the past, we launched surprise sneak attacks on the Yuan soldiers, and we fought more and less, so we were able to win many battles, but this time the Yuan soldiers were step by step and only fought with us head-on, which caused the current crisis." ”

Liu Futong nodded and said: "Wen Qianhu is right, after our army defeated the Yuan army one after another, it was indeed a little arrogant, otherwise it would not have suffered such heavy losses, but this mistake has already been committed, how can we turn defeat into victory?" ”

Wen Xuan said mysteriously: "Anyway, our army has been defeated one after another, and the morale is low, so it is better to let the Yuan soldiers win a few more battles." ”

"Let Yuan Bing win a few more battles......" Tie Niu muttered Wen Xuan's words, and suddenly remembered the defeat of Kang Liwei in the first battle of Wanhe Village in Taizhou, and exclaimed: "You mean let us lose?" ”

"Fraud?" Guan Duo and Pan Cheng both fell into deep thought when they heard this.

"Not bad." Wen Xuan said seriously: "This time, the Yuan soldiers are attacking in a big way, and the number of people who can really fight on our side is not superior, so this battle can only be outwitted, not forced." ”

Liu Futong nodded, "Wen Qianhu's words are reasonable, this battle really needs to be won by surprise." ”

Pan Cheng said what he thought in his heart: "But we have suffered enough defeats, if we continue to lose, I am afraid that the army's spirit will be unstable......"

Wen Xuan smiled, "The beginning of the Red Turban Army, there are many people who come to vote, and there are many shameless villains who want to get a piece of the pie, and only the military order can only restrict them for a while, and it is difficult to make them work with us with one heart and one mind, in this case, it is better to dismiss this group of people openly, so as to eliminate the disaster in the army." ”

"Great idea!" Liu Futong immediately praised, "Recently, there are indeed a lot of people in the army who have taken the lead in making trouble, and I can take advantage of the defeat of the city to dismiss the people who have no intention of fighting in the city, so that not only can I deceive the Yuan soldiers outside the city, but also eliminate the hidden dangers in the army, which is really a clever plan." ”

Pan Cheng touched his chin and said: "The Yuan soldiers are in full swing at this time, and the matter of fraud is very simple, but I don't know ......."

Wen Xuan smiled slyly when he heard this: "You just need to continue to cheat, and leave the matter of destroying the enemy to Wen Mou." ”
