Yes, how can we let the soldiers and horses stationed in Gushi gallop to the aid of Pingyu?

Chen Zhi said suddenly: "We don't need to pay attention to the defenders on Xinxi's side at all, and now the main thing is the more than 10,000 combat power of the bandits and the Pingyu and Gushi lines." ”

"Yes!" Liu Qi suddenly came to his senses and instructed Chen Zhi to say: "Ask Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu to make an illusion of increasing troops in the Xinyang area to contain Xinxi's troops. ”

"But, will Huang Taishou do this?" Zhao Yun asked suspiciously.

"Second brother, don't worry. It's just for Huang Taishou to be a show, not an actual increase in troops. I immediately asked my father to order Huang Taishou to make the illusion that he wanted to increase his troops in the area of Yiyang Luoshan. Liu Qi explained.

"Tricks?" Xu Jing smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid I can't hide how many days that Zhonglang of the Yuan family will have." ”

"This is tactical cover, and you don't need to hide it from them for long, just three or five days." Liu Qi looked confident, which immediately made Chen and Zhao Yun feel a lot more at ease.

Xu Jing felt novel about the new term "tactical cover" in Liu Qi's mouth, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that it was very appropriate.

"Without further ado, I immediately wrote a letter to my father asking for help, asking him to order Huang Zu Taishou to contain the thousands of soldiers stationed in Xinxi County." Liu Qi had a flash of inspiration, and said: "Uncle Zhi arranged for his henchmen to order Liu Hu and Liu Pan's troops, if the Yuan troops of Xinxi County rushed to the aid of Pingyu, they would immediately attack Xinxi from the Luoshan area, cutting off their back road." ”

Chen Zhi immediately called a confidant in, whispered in his ear, and ordered him to immediately hurry up and go to Xiangyang with the letter written by Liu Qigang to ask for help. The henchman took the order and left.

Xu Jing secretly said in his heart: Resolute and thoughtful, is this really the empty Liu Jingsheng father and son that outsiders say? The Xinxi defenders were pinned, but what about the Gushi side? How do you do that?

"In this way, we can completely arrange the sneak attack on the Gushi granary." Zhao Yun's solemn expression did not decrease, and he exhaled lightly.

Several people stared at the parchment map, and Liu Qi said, "Does Mr. Xu know who the Pingyu guard is?" Is it a horse army or an infantry army? ”

"The general of Pingyu is Ji Zhong, the younger brother of Ji Ling, the general under Yuan Highway, and Xu Rong, the younger brother of Xu Shao of the Xu family, is the deputy general, and the defenders are all sword soldiers." Xu Jing explained: "The two of them have courage and no strategy, so there is no need to worry. Moreover, Ji Zhong has a short temperament and likes to drink. As for Xu Rong, hum! A deputy general with no real power is just a means for the Yuan family to stabilize the Xu family. ”

Speaking of Xu Rong and Yuan, Xu Jing's eyes were cold, and he said hatefully: "Sooner or later, the accounts of more than a year will be settled with them!" ”

Liu Qi and the others didn't know what happened to Xu Jing and the Yuan family of the Xu family, but from Xu Jing's expression, it didn't seem to be a fake. Liu Qi said: "Sir, what happened? ”

"Nothing. Let's continue with the defenders of the granary. Xu Jing was slightly out of shape and covered up the past.

Liu Qi didn't want to say anything when he saw Xu Jing, and he didn't force it. just said: If there is any request, just say it, the three of them will not give up. asked: "Could it be that the Gushi granary guard is the Zuo Zhonglang general Yuan Cheng?" ”

"Gushi is just where the granary armaments and equipment are, and the guards are not Yuan Mai. It's Yuan Highway's eldest brother Yuan Ji. Xu Jing shook his head and said: "The commander of 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 archers, the deputy general is Feng Zhou, the son of Feng Fang, the abbot of Yuan Highway, and Wu Zhi, Li Yue, etc., the protégés of the Yuan family. ”

"Yuan Cheng sat in the Runan County Administration, with a total of nearly 20,000 troops stationed. However, the governance is its foundation, and it will not easily send troops to attack you Gongzi Qi, which can be assured. As soon as Xu Jing's words came out, Liu Qi was relieved a lot.

"Pingyu is the throat of attacking the Runan County Governor's Office, and Yuan Ji has always had a good relationship with the Xu family. If Pingyu falls, although Yuan Cheng is unlikely to rush to help, Yuan Ji will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Yuan family's base camp directly appear under Gongzi's soldiers. Xu Jing pointed to the map while analyzing the possible motives of Yuan Cheng and Yuan Ji.

"If Yuan Ji wants to quickly rescue Pingyu, he must be exhausted by cavalry. At this time, it is a good time for Childe to burn down the granary. ”

"Hmm." Liu Qi nodded approvingly and said, "How long will it take to go from Xincai to attack Pingyu?" Is there an exact time sir? ”

"Foot soldiers are not suitable for long-distance systems, not to mention that the troops in the hands of Gongzi are new soldiers, I am afraid there is not much combat power at all." Xu Jing said worriedly: "Although Pingyu and Xincai are not far apart, they can be reached in one day." But when you get to Pingyu City, how many capable warriors do you have left? Besides, if Ji Zhong can't stick to it, you will be helpless. ”

"Is there really nothing you can do?" Liu Qi and the three naturally knew that after the recruits had traveled for a long time, there were not many people who could fight.

"The march is expensive in the speed of the gods, and the surprise is expected." Xu Jing smiled and said, "Childe, coming here to solve the crisis of Childe, it will naturally make Childe have no worries." ”

"What is your plan, sir?"

"Although Zai Xia has been expelled from the Xu family, there are still dozens of dead soldiers in Pingyu City." Xu Jing explained: "Gongzi took advantage of the heavy snow to hurry, and at night he should meet in the dead and open the city gate. Gongzi made a gesture of feint to attack Pingyu City, and burned the grain storage place of Pingyu, and the fire was enough to make Yuan Ji of Gushi aware of it. At that time, Yuan Ji will definitely lead the troops to help, and there are 1,000 dead soldiers in the Gushi granary to burn. ”

Liu Qi's eyes lit up, and Liu Qi then asked, "How many troops does Mr. think it is enough to bring troops to a surprise attack on Pingyu?" ”

"There are 5,000 Pingyu garrisons, and the prince can take 5,000 with him. The rest of the soldiers hurried to the vicinity of Gushi County to ambush, only to wait for Yuan Ji to go to the rescue of Pingyu, quickly attack the city, and burn the granary! ”

Liu Qi understood and ordered: "Uncle Zhi, you immediately lead the Baiyi Camp to Gushi County, pay attention to hiding your whereabouts, and don't let people detect your intentions." Second brother, you and I led the Euphorbia battalion and waited for the father to make arrangements and immediately rushed to Pingyu. ”

He glanced at Xu Jing and said, "Sir, this place is extremely critical, I will arrange for a thousand soldiers to escort your family to Xinye, and someone will pick you up on the way." ”

"There's a reluctant request down there, Mr. Qi." Xu Jing thanked Liu Qi for his arrangement, and said with a straight face: "I will go to Pingyu with Gongzi Qi." ”

"This ......" Xu Jing was very resolute to follow him to Pingyu, Liu Qi was so helpless that he had to agree, and said: "It's really a blessing to be rescued by Mr. this time." Although I am the county guard of Yiyang County, I am now lacking such a talent as Mr., I wonder if Mr. can be with me? ”

Xu Jing said without hesitation: "See the lord!" After the Xu family expelled Xu Jing, Xu Jing's family of nineteen people has been living a life of exile and has no fixed residence. Now Liu Qi generously promised to give 100 acres of fertile land, and the mansion came out. Moreover, he calculated that Pingyu and the Yuan family had no way back.

"My teacher has recently gone to Xinye to take up the position of the county officer, Mr. Xu is temporarily guarding the history of the county, how about assisting the teacher in handling government affairs?" Liu Qi sighed slightly and said.

"No." Although Xu Jing is reluctant in his heart, but the current Liu Qi is a small county guard, and he can't give him much position, looking at Liu Jingsheng's cultivation of Liu Qi, there is still a chance to be promoted in the future. Seeing that Liu Qi had no shortage of appreciation and affection for the teacher in his mouth, Xu Jing couldn't help asking, "I don't know who the master teacher is?" ”

"Yingchuan clan, Xun Wenruo is the kid teacher." Liu Qi said, "Although I have not performed the apprenticeship ceremony, I have regarded him as a lifelong teacher." ”

Xun Yu! Xu Jing was taken aback, couldn't he have imagined that he had also taken refuge in Liu Qi? He is the king of the world! How did you come to Jingzhou? With a hint of incomprehension, some dissatisfaction in Xu Jing's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace. The Xu family is nothing to mention about the afterlife of the Yingchuan Xun family, and it is not worth mentioning.

Xun Yu is a great talent, and now he is just a small county man, what virtue can he be higher than him.

After arranging all military affairs, now we are only waiting for news from Jingzhou. Xu Jing's family, Liu Qi has ordered his henchmen to escort them to Xinye.

"I don't know what Mr. thinks of the current Jingzhou?" Liu Qi and Xu Jing sat down, and Liu Qi asked.

"Xinde Jingzhou, the foundation is not stable, and the thieves and scholars in the state are uncertain, and I am afraid that they will be used by people with intentions. What's more, Nanyang Yuan Highway is eyeing the tiger, and Yuzhang is too guarded by Sun Jian to be ready to forcibly take Jingzhou and Changsha, which can be said to be enemies on all sides. Xu Jing said secretly, here!

"Although Linhe County, Guiyang County, and Wuling County of Jingzhou are under the jurisdiction of Liu Jingzhou on the surface, there are many mountains and mountains, and they are also waiting for chaos ......" The rest is self-evident and full of dangers.

"How do you think this problem can be solved, sir?"

"Suppressing the big clans now will only plunge Jingzhou into war, and checks and balances are the key. Then send elite soldiers and strong generals to clear out the bandits in the state and appease the Shanyue and other tribes, which can seek an opportunity for relaxation. Xu Jing blurted out: "Stabilize the hearts of the people and the army, accumulate grain, and defend one side more than enough." ”

"What if I want to take over the world?" Liu Qi's expression flashed and he asked.

"Advance to Yizhou in the west, conquer the land of Pingyanghuai in the east, and wait for the changes in the Central Plains." Xu Jing's heart jumped, and he continued.

"Hahaha!" Liu Qi suddenly laughed and said, "Mr. is really talented!" It's just that I don't have that ability now, and the obstacles of the state warriors are too serious. ”

"Yes. Jingzhou is a land of four stations, and if one is not careful, it may be taken by others. Xu Jing sighed: "The most important thing for the lord now is to stabilize the foundation, Liu Gongyuan is in Jingzhou, and now he has only been governing for half a year so openly, don't go into Jingzhou for the time being, it will disrupt Ling Zun's plan." ”

"Well, that's clear to me." Liu Qi sighed lightly and said, "When my father promoted me to be the county guard of Yiyang County, I had already withstood a lot of pressure, if I returned to Jingzhou rashly, I am afraid that it will intensify the dissatisfaction of the big families in Xiangyang City with my father, and then it will not be as simple as being coveted." Therefore, I had to hold back. ”

"The governance of Yiyang County depends on you and the teacher."
