Outside the big tent, soldiers on both sides guarded the door, the sky was dotted with stars, and the huge camp was full of burning fires, and the flames inside made the soldiers feel homesick.

In the tent, Zhao Yue and Zhang Duan chatted a few more words, and the relationship between the two did not change by relying on this simple conversation. The idiot who was sitting under the seat looked at Zhang Duan and Zhao Yue, and suddenly spoke: "The two lords, since the troops have come to Hongnong City at this time, it is better to discuss the method of entering the army immediately, when should we attack?" How to attack? ”

Zhang Duan looked at the idiot and didn't answer, Jia Xu, who was sitting opposite the idiot, suddenly cleared his throat, leaned forward the folding fan he was holding to dispel the heat, and said seriously: "According to the meaning of the seniors, what should I do?" ”

The idiot looked at this well-dressed literati, and secretly speculated in his heart that he was able to figure out the plan he had set up, which could be regarded as some of his strategy.

The idiot was suddenly relieved, after all, he needed to rely on their strength now, and at this time, he was undoubtedly making trouble for himself, in this case, it was better to treat each other sincerely, and after breaking the city, he could surprise and quickly control the enemy.

"Wen He is too modest, I have heard of your name a long time ago, when the Chang'an Incident occurred, it was you who assisted Li Dao and Guo Yan, so that the two of them were able to unite as one, successfully counterattacked Chang'an, and drove the Han Dynasty regime controlled by Wang Yun to Luoyang. However, since you have asked me here, the old man thinks that I will have about 150,000 horses, and there are probably less than 100,000 people and horses in Hongnong City. In this way, it is better to directly select a certain city gate and carry out a strong attack, and it can be broken in ten days. ”

The idiot said these words frankly. There really wasn't any stratagem involved.

Jia Xu squinted his eyes and thought seriously for a moment. Then he nodded and said, "This is feasible." But the specific siege time seems to need to be decided by the two lords. ”

After saying that, Jia Xu turned sideways and surrendered his gaze to Zhang Duan and Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue swallowed her inner thoughts, and deliberately didn't say it in a hurry, just wanted to wait for Zhang Duan to speak first.

"I'm just a martial artist, I don't know what auspicious days are, I've only heard of it, 'It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun'. It's better to attack the city tomorrow. Zhang Duan's eyes did not squint, and his expression and demeanor did not look like a monarch, but like a general in the ranks.

Meng Idiot nodded, "In that case, we still need to confirm as soon as possible which gate of Hongnong City will be attacked." ”

Jia Xu closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes, and said slowly: "I just thought about it carefully, according to the news reported by Tanmalay. Wang Yun's defense of Hongnong this time can be described as quite tight, and the north and south gates are heavily guarded, but the people who defend the city are not generals. It's just that the general generals, on the contrary, the east and west gates are not as many as the north and south gates. But the east gate keeper Lu Bu, the west gate guard Gao Shun. They are all good at commanding armies. ”

When Wang Jian heard this, he said on the side: "If it is really as you said, sir." Naturally, it is better for us to choose the north and south two gates to attack. ”

"No, no," Jia Xu held a folding fan in his left hand and stroked his beard with his right hand, and said, "The general happened to be wrong, we should attack the East and West Second Gate." Although there are no defenders at the north and south gates, once we choose to attack there, it will inevitably be delayed, and Lu Bu and Gao Shun from the east and west gates may come to support, in that case, it will only increase the difficulty of our siege; But if we directly attack the east and west gates, the guards in the north and south will generally not dare to move without Wang Yun's personal order. ”

Listening to this wonderful and unique analysis, the idiot secretly admired in his heart that this Jia Xu was really smart and his views were different from ordinary people. Even Zhao Yue sat in the position, and she had to admire Jia Xu's high views.

The next day, Zhao Yue and Zhang Duan personally led the army to attack the east gate of Hongnong City, which was the gate guarded by Lu Bu.

The night is peaceful, the summer is about to pass, the autumn is coming in a flash, the night is a little cooler, and there are a few less insect chirps, which makes people have a kind of golden autumn desolation in advance.

Approaching the wee hours of the morning, Zhao Yue got up early in the morning, and eagerly announced in his tent that the military advisor Meng idiot had opened the door of the tent and strode in, but there was a white-haired, delicate-looking face on his old body.

"My lord, what's the matter with summoning the ministers?"

Zhao Yue put on a dress, it was less than an hour before he said the good time last night, he couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply thought about calling the idiot to talk about things.

At this time, seeing the arrival of the idiot, Zhao Yue straightened his body and said seriously: "Idiot, I called you early in the morning, there is something important to discuss with you, this attack on Hongnong, the original plan was to capture Chang'an as well, but I have always been afraid of the one named Jia Xu in my heart before, and I have already heard of his resourcefulness, when I discussed the offensive strategy last night, his remarks made me admire it even more, at this moment I want to discuss it with you, to see if we can think of a way to take him into our own camp?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Idiot smiled lightly, "The lord loves talents, and the ministers can understand it, but it is rare to be so attentive." ”

The sky outside the tent was already dark, and even the chirping of morning birds could already be heard, faintly, Zhao Yue had already felt a kind of morning coldness. Listening to the words of the idiot, he smiled embarrassedly: "When I was a soldier in the Han Dynasty before, I followed Liu Zheng, the marquis of the Han army, to participate in Dong Zhuo's council and serve as a guard, and I also have a deep understanding of Jia Xu's strategy. ”

Meng Idiot squinted his eyes, stroked the white beard on his chin, and said seriously: "Well, the lord's words, the minister understands the meaning, but the lord, judging from the various choices that the minister analyzed Jia Xu since Dong Zhuo's death, he is a relatively easy person to recruit, and at the same time, he is also a relatively difficult person to recruit. ”

"Why?" Zhao Yue's eyes widened, and she looked at the idiot with some puzzlement, hoping that the idiot could answer the confusion in his heart.

Meng Idiot said lightly: "It is said that he is easy to recruit, because he is a person who knows the current affairs and the time, as long as the lord makes them understand that the way of heaven is on our side, he will naturally come happily; It is said that he is more difficult to recruit, and it is also because of this that he looks for the way of heaven, and the powerful and powerful people take refuge, and they will not easily change the object of service, so if the lord wants to take him under his command, he needs to do more planning. ”

"I see." Zhao Yue muttered, and began to carefully calculate in her heart, the east is the sun that has risen...... (To be continued.) )
