Linzi, the country of Qi, is a simple but very large house. The old man, who was over seventy years old, had gray hair, and although it was noon, it was the best time for the sun. However, the old man kept his eyes almost fixed on the letterhead that had just arrived.

Putting down the letterhead in his hand, the old man coughed lightly twice, and then said in a somewhat old voice: "Where is the Huainan Army?" ”

"Teacher Hui, he is still in Donghai County. It's just that, according to the county guard, the king of Huainan personally sat in the army, and the Huainan army attacked extremely fiercely. There is little food in the city, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hold out for a few days. ”

Under the lobby, a general who also looked sixty years old looked a little anxious.

"It's a pity, don't worry, sit down and say." Kuai Mu waved his hand and gestured.

The general obviously wanted to say something, but Kuai Mu scolded again: "Sit down! In order to remember the impetuousness, you can't just stare at one place, and you have forgotten what you were taught at the beginning? ”

"The disciple did not dare to forget. It's just that if the Huainan Army really reaches Langya, then half of our Daqi will be lost. Now near Linzi, there are no soldiers to send, and if the East China Sea is lost, Langya must also be lost! How can a disciple not be in a hurry? ”

Above the lobby, Kuai Mu, who was sitting tall, shook his head imperceptibly.

This disciple is not young now, and it can be said that he has also stepped into the coffin with one foot.

At this age, you still have to see through the overall situation, and your qualifications are like this.

"If I die, who can carry the Qi Kingdom!" Kuai Mu thought sadly in his heart.

"Teacher? Teacher? ”

"Hmm. I'm listening. Kuai Mu, who came back to his senses, although there was nothing between his words, but he was a lot tired in his demeanor.

"That'...... What do teachers think should be done in this time? Is it to borrow troops from Zhao State, or to withdraw 20,000 or 30,000 people from Xue County to guard against the Huainan army? ”

"Zhao is weak and Qi is strong, and now Yan has a heart of disobedience, if he joins forces with Han, he will borrow troops from Zhao to resist a Huainan army. Then after this battle, win or lose. Yan Guo will definitely abandon Qi and join Han, and even Zhao Guo may be double-minded! ”

"Then the teacher means to withdraw some people from Xue County?"

Kuai Mu did not rush to answer this disciple's question, but asked, "Sorry, do you think that on top of this letterhead, how many layers of credibility are there?" ”

Xi Zhi showed a look of disdain and said, "Hmph! Zhao Shang, who was pretended by the Chu people, looked like a meticulous work. How can the words of such a person be trusted? ”

Kuai Mu showed a smile and said, "It may not be necessary to do it carefully, but the increase in troops mentioned in this letter must be nonsense. Presumably, at this time, Dongjun is already ready to go. ”

"But teacher, the 50,000 Wei soldiers in Dongjun are not to be worried, even if you count the 40,000 Chu troops, the 50,000 people in Xue County should be enough. And go, Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty, I'll go there. The Chu army may have some moves in Dongjun, but it can't make waves! Kuai Mu's words are sonorous and powerful, although he is old, he is full of confidence.

"Whoa......," the general opened his mouth, but finally agreed.

After the people left, Kuai Mu finally showed a trace of exhaustion.

"Teacher, this is a new tea from this year." A teenager in his twenties respectfully placed a cup of new tea on Kuaimu's table.

"Did you hear it all?" Kuai Mu picked up the teacup, took a sip and said.

"I know a little bit about it."

"Tell me what you think."

The young man did not refuse, and sat next to Kuai Mu very casually, and said, "The disciple thinks that the purpose of the Chu army must be Xue Jun. Moreover, it should have come for the food hoarded in Xue County. ”

Kuaimu put down the teacup and showed a satisfied smile.

"Go on."

"Although the Huainan army is unstoppable, and there is the king of Huainan in charge, it is the king of Huainan who is in the army, and the disciples think that there is no need to worry."

Kuaimu closed his eyes and leaned his back lightly against the wooden wall behind him, as if he was enjoying it.

"The Huainan army is only 30,000, and Pengcheng is now no more than 10,000 troops. Even if the East China Sea is breached, it is absolutely impossible for a force to send troops to garrison it. As long as Zhou Yafu wins, if the king of Huainan does not want to be trapped in the Qi country, he will definitely withdraw his army. These problems can be easily solved. ”

Kuaimu still didn't react, as if he was asleep.

The young man looked at Kuai Mu, blinked, and continued: "It's just that what the disciple didn't figure out was how the Chu army would capture Xue County. And ......"

The young man's voice gradually became shorter, and he seemed to be a little uncertain, and fell into thought.

"Moreover, the head of the Chu army in Dongjun is not Ji Shu's cronies. Something must be strange here! Kuai Mu finally opened his eyes, looked at the young man, and added.

"That's what the disciple thinks, too."

"If the Chu army really wants to capture Xue County, 40,000 Chu troops plus 50,000 Wei troops are not possible. The main force of the Chu army is still in Hanoi, and since they have this kind of thought, it must be something wrong with our own internal problems. ”

"Does the teacher think that someone has taken refuge in the Chu State?" The young man's tone suddenly became solemn.

Kuaimu closed his eyes noncommittally, as if thinking about something.

This time, most of the people stationed in Xue County were people from the old families in the Qi Kingdom. Speaking of betraying the Qi State, Kuai Mu really didn't want to believe it.

It's just that Kuai Mu, who has also dealt with Ji Shu and Chu Emperor Xia Ze all his life, also doesn't think that these two people will be useless.

Thinking about it, there seems to be only one reasonable explanation.

However, although speculation is speculation, it can only be speculation.

Although Kuaimu, who is in Linzi, has a very high reputation, he can't control the people on the front line for the time being.

Moreover, changing generals in battle is also a taboo for soldiers. If you change it correctly, it's fine, but once you change it wrongly, it will disturb the morale of the army, and it will give people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Food...... Food ......"

Kuai Mu's mouth kept muttering, and the ups and downs of decades of experience had already told him that all actions must have his purpose.

Actions and processes are not important, the results are the most important.

"Concentrate the main forces of Xue County in Wushe and Lu County, and get out of the way!"

Kuaimu's words made the young man's eyes light up.

Since you don't know what went wrong, it's better to take the initiative. Moreover, gathering troops in the north and south of the two Xue counties can also contain each other and form horns for each other, killing two birds with one stone.

In this way, it seems that everything is solved.

Perhaps, even Xia Huan himself didn't expect that between Kuai Mu's words, his plan had already been guessed.

Compared with Kuai Mu, who is no longer a thief, Xia Huan, who is not yet twenty years old, even if he has the experience of the previous life, but his strategic gaze is still inferior.

If it weren't for the fact that from the very beginning, Kuai Mu embarked on the wrong path, I am afraid that Xia Huan's adventure would really be dead and alive.
