Chapter 225: Young Protector
If it weren't for Gongsun Zan who strongly asked Guan Yu to take him out to see the world this time, Guan Yu would not have chosen this person to go out with the army.
Because in the eyes of Guan Zhang and the others, this guy is a stinky hairy child, and taking him on the expedition will only add to the trouble, and it will not be beneficial at all!
Therefore, as soon as the young protector spoke, he immediately attracted a disdainful glance from Guan Yu:
"That...... It's Zhao Hujun, right? You should go to the camp and check the soldiers, and by the way, check the stables again, so that the horses don't go hungry. As for the operational deployment, it is enough for me to discuss with General Zhang, and you don't need to say much. ”
Seeing that Guan Yu didn't even want to listen to his advice, the young Zhao Hujun had to sigh secretly and close his mouth, leave the big tent with a disappointed face, and slowly walk towards the barracks.
"Humph! A stinky boy dares to interject here? Do you really think of yourself as a general? ”
After Zhao Hujun left, Guan Yu first shook his head contemptuously, and then returned to the truth:
"Third brother, tomorrow you go to the city to call the battle. If the surnamed Hua is willing to come out, of course it is the best. If you don't want to come out, then we'll think of other good ideas! ”
……
Leaving the big tent, Zhao Hujun went straight to the temporary stables in the camp and fed the horses fodder according to Guan Yu's requirements.
Seeing Zhao Hujun suddenly appear in the stable, Lao Zhou, who was in charge of taking care of the horses, immediately got up and leaned up: "Just leave this kind of rough work to me, why do you do it yourself?" ”
After snatching the forage in the other party's hand, he saw Lao Zhou saying curiously:
"By the way, Guardian, why are you coming to the stable? It stands to reason that you should not discuss military affairs in the Great Tent? ”
Hearing the words discussing military affairs, Zhao Hujun's face instantly crossed a touch of sourness, shook his head and sighed:
"Alas! This kind of military aircraft matter should be left to the two generals Guan and Zhang to discuss, I ...... Just feed the horses. ”
Reading between the lines, Lao Zhou quickly guessed that this young protector was most likely excluded by the other party.
But as an ordinary soldier, it was inconvenient for Lao Zhou to say anything more about this kind of thing, so he could only force out a smile and replied:
"Oh! Then, I'll feed the horses with you. Hehe, the horses should be hungry now. ”
As he spoke, he saw that Lao Zhou gave half of the forage in his hand to Zhao Hujun, and fed the horses with the other party.
"Zhao Hujun, how long do you think it will take for us to take down Yuanyuan Village?" Seeing that there was nothing to do, Lao Zhou asked while sprinkling hay.
"This ...... It's hard to say. Zhao Hujun frowned slightly.
"Can't say? Why? Lao Zhou's face was puzzled: "The other party is only a thousand people, and our strength is three times that of the other party." Shouldn't it be taken soon? ”
"If it is a field battle in the plains, of course, but now the other side is hiding in the fortifications, and we don't even have a decent siege weapon. If they don't come out to fight, it will be very difficult for us to attack. ”
"How about that?" Hearing what the other party said, Lao Zhou immediately showed a look of worry:
"Our army has only brought grain and grass for a month, and the war in Youzhou is urgent, so we don't have time to spend it with them! Is there a way to force them to fight? ”
"Alas...... It's hard! ”
After a sigh, I saw Zhao Hujun shaking his head and saying:
"Luoyuan Village is the base camp of the other party, and the granary is located in the village, and it is unrealistic to force the other party to come out by limiting grain, and it is impossible for them to not even have a month's worth of grain in stock."
"So, can you trick them out?"
"If the opposing manager is a reckless general, it is possible. But I have heard that the enemy's commander-in-chief is not only strong in force, but also good at using his troops. Want to trick this kind of person out...... I'm afraid it's as hard as the sky. ”
Hearing that they couldn't attack, and they couldn't cheat, Lao Zhou's eyebrows unconsciously wrung together: "Then according to what you say, don't we have no chance of winning?" ”
"Not really! As long as we find a way to destroy the opponent's defenses, we can hope to win. ”
"Didn't you just say we didn't have siege weapons? With the halberd in your hand alone, it should be difficult to do it, right? Lao Zhou was full of confusion.
"The halberd is definitely not going to work." After shaking his head, he heard Zhao Hujun suddenly raise his tone and say with a determined face:
"But as far as I can see, the fence and gates of the other side are made of wood, and if our army attacks with fire, it can break down the opponent's defenses overnight!"
Hearing the word "fire attack", Lao Zhou's mouth suddenly opened, and his eyes were filled with excitement:
"What a plan, what a plan! Wood is most afraid of catching fire! Ay? So when are we going to carry out this plan? Has General Guan made up his mind? ”
"Well...... this"
As soon as these words came out, I saw Zhao Hujun sigh and bow his head with regret on his face.
In the military tent before, Zhao Hujun actually thought of this plan.
He wanted to tell Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the spot, but unfortunately, he didn't even have a chance to speak, so he was ruthlessly kicked out of the military tent by Guan Yu.
So although this plan sounds good, Guan and Zhang don't know about it.
"Ahem, I don't know the specifics, it may take a while."
Touching his nose to deal with it, he saw Zhao Hujun holding the grass and walking to the other side of the stable: "This side is fed, let's go to the other side." ”
Seeing that the other party didn't want to talk about it anymore, Lao Zhou hurriedly closed his mouth and followed while nodding.
……
Early the next morning, Zhang Fei led 2,000 men and horses to the north gate of Luoyuan Village.
As soon as he arrived in the city, he heard Zhang Fei open his throat and launch a verbal offensive.
Although Zhang Fei is a rough person, he scolds people one by one, and he listens to his voice in the audience for a while. There are provocative, sarcastic, abusive, and contemptuous...... Anyway, he tried all the words he could think of.
However, no matter how they called the battle, the gates of the other party were always closed.
Not to mention the battle out of the city, Huaxing didn't even show his face at the end of the day, and he didn't eat this set at all.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Zhang Fei had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the barracks with his troops......
Walking into the big tent, Zhang Fei didn't even bother to say hello, picked up the kettle and drank it.
It wasn't until he drank all the water in the pot that he put down the kettle, sat down on the chair angrily, and scolded angrily while slamming the armrest:
"This devil surnamed Hua is really an out-and-out wreck! I scolded him in the city for a day, and I was scolded for a dry mouth, but this kid didn't even show his face, which was really hateful. No way! I have to go again tomorrow, I don't believe it, this kid can be a shrinking turtle for a lifetime! ”
As yesterday, there are two other people in the military tent at this moment, who are Guan Yu and Zhao Hujun.
The two of them had actually expected that Huaxing would be closed, so after listening to Zhang Fei's words, neither of them was surprised.
