After laughing, Huangfu Song looked at Xun You and said: "Sir, our first problem now is to defeat Zhang Liang and find out where Zhang Liang's troops are stored in grain and grass.

Xun You looked at Huangfu Song and nodded, stood in front of the sand table and said: General, our scouts did not find a place for Zhang Liang's troops to store grain and grass outside the city, so it is very likely that Zhang Liang will store grain and grass in Xingyang City, but in this case, it will be very difficult for us to burn Zhang Liang's grain and grass. And there is a very big question, if we have a way to enter Xingyang City, then our original plan is necessary? Wouldn't it be okay for us to defeat Zhang Liang directly?

Hearing Xun You's question, Huangfu Song also stood still for a while, looking at the sand table and being stunned. After a long time, Huangfu Song raised his head and looked at Xun You and asked: If we ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter, how do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will answer us?

Xun You was also stupid when he heard Huangfu Song's question, but he still thought about it and said: According to His Royal Highness the Prince's consistent behavior, although we now have the sword of destroying the Yellow Turban Army hanging over our heads within half a year, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will still let us carry out the original plan.

Huangfu Song was very surprised when he heard Xun You's answer, looked at Xun You and asked: Why, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that the sword of exterminating the Yellow Turban Army is hanging over our heads within half a year, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince choose that?

Xun You looked at Huangfu Song and replied: I understand Your Highness, Your Highness's heart is very big, listen to His Highness's intentions, and prepare to go to the grassland in the future, but not to go to the grassland, the people of Xingyang City have received Zhang Liang's favor, and they will be easily inspired by people with hearts in the future, and they will have an accident again. According to His Highness's thoughts, he must have wanted to complete the matter at once.

Huangfu Song listened to Xun You's words, and nodded in agreement. looked at Xun You and said: Yes, we all know that the people of Xingyang City have received the favor of Zhang Liang, and after we exterminate the Yellow Turban Army and return to the court, this place is also prone to accidents again. But even if he has another accident, it will be a year or more later, and our priority now is to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army within half a year. This is our number one issue right now.

Xun You saw that he couldn't convince Huang Fu Song, so he looked at Huang Fu Song and proposed: Let's leave this issue to His Royal Highness to make a decision.

Huangfu Song also knew that he had no way to persuade Xun You, so he had to agree, and the two immediately wrote a letter and reported the matter to Liu Xie in detail.

Early the next morning, Liu Xie received a joint letter from Huangfu Song and Xun You, and after reading it, Liu Xie was also silent for a long time. looked at Guo Jia beside him, handed the letter to Guo Jia and said: Look, this is sent by Huangfu Song and Xun You overnight.

After Guo Jia finished reading it, he looked at Liu Xie and was also embarrassed, but he still looked at Liu Xie and asked: Your Highness, what are you going to do with them?

Liu Xie listened to Guo Jia's question, thought about it and said: I still decided that there is no problem with their plan at the beginning, although in this way, it may take us longer, but I think this time is worth it, I hope we will calm down the land, not simply regain the lost territory, but also recover the hearts of the people, rather than simply staking the ground.

Although Guo Jia agreed with this idea in his heart, he still had to remind Liu Xie in his duty as a military advisor: Your Highness, don't forget, Your Majesty only gave us half a year. We will completely wipe out the Yellow Turban Army within half a year.

Liu Xie listened, sighed and said: I also know this problem, but I still insist on my opinion, if you calm down a place, you will recover a place, this recovery is a real recovery, not when we are in the place, the place is safe and sound, and when our army leaves, this place will appear again, in this way, our army can only run on the road of counterinsurgency for many years. It is a great drain on the financial and material resources of the imperial court.

Guo Jia nodded when he heard this, and he also agreed with Liu Xie's statement.

Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia and said directly, send a letter to Huangfu Song and tell them to implement the original plan. We can spend a little more time, but we have to take these places into our hands.

When Guo Jia heard this, he nodded, and went down to arrange the reply to the letter, leaving a person in the big tent. Liu Xie stood up, looked at Xingyang on the map and said with a sigh: It's a pity for these people. Why accept food from the rebels?

After Huang Fu Song's Chinese army tent, only Huang Fu Song and Xun Yu were sitting. The two looked at Liu Xie's reply in their hands, and they didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Huangfu Song finally raised his head and looked at Xun You and said: Sir, sure enough, you know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince best, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really chose this plan. Xun You, who was contemplating, heard Huang Fu Song's words, raised his head to look at Huang Fu Song, and smiled bitterly, but he didn't know how to answer Huang Fu Song's question.

In the end, Xun You looked at Huangfu Song and said: But I would rather I guess wrong, if it is implemented according to the plan now, not to mention how much the people of Xingyang City will suffer, that is, where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, how much pressure he will bear. We could have defeated the Yellow Turbans quickly, but now in order to win back the hearts and minds of the people, the result is that we have to spend several times more time than normal combat to complete this plan. I really don't know if it's worth it.

Huangfu Song looked at Xun You, who was sitting there, and said with a very hearty smile: What is the use of thinking about these now, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decided how to implement it, what we can do is to make this plan as perfect as possible, and shorten the time of this battle as possible, among them, maybe we still need us to help Zhang Liangna.

Xun You listened to Huangfu Song's words, and he was also shocked and said: What the general said makes sense, then I will now go and talk to those Xin Cun people who escaped from Xingyang City, they must have a secret passage in their hands, otherwise how could they escape to us.

Huangfu Song nodded when he heard this, and directly asked Xun You to find someone.

After Xun You walked out of the big tent of the Chinese army, he came to a big tent in the corner, looked at the sergeant guarding outside the door, and went directly into the big tent.

In the big tent, there are the children of the clan in Xingyang City who just came to join the official army a few days ago. At this time, the three people surnamed Qian were still thinking hard about their future fate.

The three people who escaped were from the Qian clan in Xingyang City. The three of them are the sons of the patriarch of this generation, when the Yellow Turban Army just entered the city, the three of them were stuffed into the secret passage by their father, ready to be safe in the future, pick them up, I didn't expect them to wait in the secret passage for two days, and they didn't wait for their father, after the three realized that the situation was wrong, they climbed out along the secret passage, but they didn't expect that the exit of the secret passage was outside Xingyang City, so the three escaped from Shengtian, but the three of them who had nowhere to go, after discussion, could only come to the official army, hoping that the official army could avenge them. The three of them, who were discussing how to go in the future, saw Xun You coming in and quickly stood up.
