Xiong Lishui and Zhou Guan both returned to the barracks in disgrace, how excited and beautiful they were when they left the barracks and went to Luoyang, and how depressed they were when they came back, they didn't even dare to tell others about their affairs in Luoyang City, because their days in Luoyang City were too embarrassing.

Not to mention whether they did what they wanted to do over there, just their reputation, although they used An Xiabai's reputation when they went, but their faces were still theirs, and it didn't feel good to be stared at with vicious eyes like thieves, so they came back.

Xiong Qianshui and Zhou Guan thought that they would be greeted by the soldiers, but they never expected that the military camp would be like this.

Almost all the soldiers had gloomy expressions on their faces, as if they had experienced something terrible.

Zhou Guan was panicked, and after inquiring, he found out that Lu Li frequently sent people to harass him, and the soldiers were tired.

And now there are rumors in the army that Lu Li is the future lord of the world, Xiong Lishui and Zhou Guan's people, many of them want to go over to them, this perception really angered Xiong Lishui and Zhou Guan, and the two of them returned to the camp and called the military advisor who was responsible for supervising the army when they left.

As soon as the poor little army commander reached the tent, he fell to his knees tremblingly.

"The subordinates are guilty."

"Hehe, you're still quite smart," Zhou Guan said with a sneer, "You didn't have any ability when you were fighting, but when you made amends, you were very happy, which made General Ben can't help but doubt you." ”

The military doctor was bitter in his heart, and his face was full of panic.

"General, it's really not the fault of his subordinates, his subordinates have done their best, it's Lu Li who is too cunning!"

It turned out that since Xiong Lishui and Zhou Guan left the barracks one after another, Lu Li led people to attack the barracks frequently, not only that, but they also focused on the army's grain and grass.

There was not a single person in the barracks who was not angry, but there was nothing they could do.

The military advisor sighed and said, "That Lu Li is really too cunning, you are not here, general, I don't know what we have experienced!" During this time, we didn't think about fighting them openly to regain their military might, but they were cunning like a group of foxes, and whenever we wanted to do it, they would quickly escape with the help of the terrain, and there was really no way for their subordinates. ”

Zhou Guan and Xiong Lishui hated the roots of his teeth because of his words.

Among them, the person who reflected the most was Zhou Guan, who hated to take off Lu Li's skin and take it to the flag.

After all, King Li is not a fool, he sees that the situation is not right, and the army has not sent out a good battle report for a long time, so he knows that Zhou Guan and Xiong Qianshui are facing Lu Li's strong enemy, and they are also at a disadvantage, so they scolded Lu Li's ancestors dozens of times in the capital.

But there was nothing else he could do at the moment, because he had no generals at his disposal.

Fang Zhen didn't know what was going on, not long after returning to the capital, the person fell ill, and he couldn't afford to be sick, and his condition has not improved until now, it is impossible to send him to the front line to fight Lu Li and them, but except for Fang Zhen, there is no one available under King Li.

Just when King Li was very angry about this matter, a strategist suggested that maybe the army could change its strategy.

It is said that since the strong attack cannot be attacked, the defense is the main thing.

Although Lu Li has enough talent in the military, but after all, he is just an ordinary person who came out of a small town, and it is estimated that he will not be able to succeed, the most important thing is that Lu Li has no legitimate identity, as long as King Li will work more hard in public opinion in the future, saying that Lu Li is a chaotic minister and thief, if he continues to resist stubbornly, he will definitely die well, after the news spreads, the dull people will definitely believe it, even if they have doubts about these words at the beginning, they will choose to believe it, so that after a long time, The people are separated from Lu Li, and the city that has been captured is easy to fight.

The plan sounds like a good plan, but what is the success rate?

King Li asked with a cold face, who expected that the strategist's face changed slightly, and he actually said that it was less than fifty percent!

Almost all the objects on the desk were swept to the ground by the angry King Li, he really couldn't believe that the plan with a success rate of less than fifty percent would be sent to him, so King Li was angry, but he was helpless.

Because that's the only plan available for now.

King Li closed his eyes in annoyance, and ordered the civil officials to send an order down, so that Zhou Guan and Xiong Lishui's army should not move, and focus on defense for the time being.

When the news reached Xiong Lishui's ears, he was holding Su Ying'er in the camp tent, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so this meeting naturally missed it very much, the two of them were thunderous, hugged each other and rolled on the bed several times, until they were tired.

At the same time, news came from his subordinates, saying that Zhou Guan didn't know what was going on, and suddenly wanted to transfer the army, from the original position that was easy to defend to the left side of Lu Li, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

Ordinary people can't understand the tricks, but Xiong Qianshui is different, he really has the art of war and strategy, so he can naturally understand the meaning of Zhou Guan.

This man wants to fight Lu Li's army.

Seeing that the messenger left, Xiong Lishui kept squinting and smiling on the bed, and his expression was like a cat that had been stealing fish, Su Ying'er couldn't help but be curious when she looked at it.

"Sir, are you happy about something?"

"Yes." In the face of his concubine's inquiry, Xiong Lishui had no intention of concealing it at all, he felt that there were all his own people near the tent, even if there were Zhou Guan's eyes and ears, they must have been cleaned up a long time ago, so he didn't have any scruples when he spoke, "I originally wanted to take the army to join His Highness's army tomorrow, but now I don't think it's necessary." ”

Su Ying'er, as the pinching of the relationship between Feng Bailin and Xiong Qianshui, naturally wanted them to be close, but now that she suddenly heard Xiong Qianshui say that it was not necessary, she was a little nervous, and hurriedly took Xiong Qianshui's hand and asked anxiously: "Why did the master say that it was not necessary, did he forget our original intention?" Or is there something wrong with His Highness's side, so he is dissatisfied with the master? ”

"Hehe, woman, sure enough, my hair is long and my knowledge is short, I didn't break my previous promise, I said that I didn't want to join the army, but I just wanted to delay the time and get some more benefits on King Li's side."

The more she said this, the more Su Ying'er became.

However, she is smart, and she will naturally ask about some things she doesn't understand, and then she will be coquettish and foolish, so she quickly got his plan out of Xiong Qianshui's mouth.

Xiong Lishui wants to regain the trust of King Li.

Thinking of the previous defeats, thinking of Xiong Lishui and his appearance of ignoring King Li's orders since leaving the capital, Su Ying'er sincerely felt that this idea was very difficult.

"Master, don't you think this road may not work at all? Not to mention whether King Li is dissatisfied with our previous behaviors, just talk about Zhou Guan. King Li is willing to send him out to fight, he must trust him, how can we push to Zhouguan and regain King Li's trust? ”

Because things were too difficult to calculate, Su Ying'er subconsciously frowned.

Xiong Lishui's heart is no less entangled than her.

"Who said that if you want to regain the trust of King Li, you must overthrow Zhou Guan? Is he something worthy of being in front of me? Xiong Lishui sneered and said, "If it was before, I might have been a little jealous of him, or afraid, but now it's different, he and King Li are not of the same heart at all, so as long as we dodge and provoke, it won't be long before King Li will suspect him, and the power of the army will fall back into my hands." ”

Su Ying'er's eyes lit up slightly: "But master, how can you see that Zhou Guan and King Li are not the same heart at all?" ”

"Isn't that easy? Tell me about his recent behavior, which is not long over? Xiong Lishui repeatedly chewed the news from his cronies just now, and the corners of his lips were sneering, "King Li's order is clearly to let the army turn from offensive to defensive, and it is extremely important to make Lu Li unable to capture other cities, but look at what Zhou Guan did about him?" Transferring the army to the left, he clearly wants to fight with Lu Li, and he also wants to take people to death, you look at it, this person can't be proud for too long! ”

Su Ying'er didn't understand the strategy and strategy in the barracks, but she could see that Xiong Qianshui was very happy, so she nodded again and again in agreement.

At this moment, Xiong Shui suddenly pinched her chin.

"By the way, madam, I suddenly remembered that you also seem to have a lot of ideas, can you help me think about what method can be used to make King Li trust me above Zhouguan, and then hand over the command of the army back to me?"

Su Ying'er's heartbeat skipped a beat.

After being pinned on Xiong Qianshui's hope, she began to think of ideas for Xiong Qianshui, only to see her frowning and clenching her brains to think of a way, and after a while, she really came up with one, that is, the bitter meat plan.

Su Ying'er said excitedly: "Master, we can secretly send someone to send a message to King Li, let's tell him about Zhou Guan's layout here, and then say that he is uneasy, there are so many strategists around King Li, even if King Li himself can't see the attack and defense of the military camp, a certain division under him must also be able to see it, and they will definitely have doubts about Zhou Guan's ability to lead the troops, at this time, master, you will behave again.......

Xiong Lishui was moved by the plan she said, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay to send news to the capital, but I'm in the army, what kind of bitter trick did Madame just say, what should I do?" ”

Su Ying'er smiled mysteriously, deliberately got closer, and whispered a plan in Xiong Qianshui.

Xiong Lishui's original suspicion disappeared because of that plan: "Madame is really smart, your plan may really help me succeed!" ”
