Hua Fei knew that Tao Qian was a little stubborn, but he also thought that the strategy he thought of had hit the lifeblood of the enemy, as long as it was used well, it could even be said that it could reach the point of surrendering the army without fighting, and he believed that Tao Qian should be able to understand the beauty of this strategy.

However, things in the world are often not satisfactory, Hua Fei's voice just fell to see Tao Qian, he stood up with both hands on the case, and shouted in an old voice: "You are not wrong, Cao Thief was originally a eunuch and his foundation is weak, and he has been defeated repeatedly, cough cough..."

Tao Qian was old and frail, and when he said two sentences too quickly, he choked on his breath, he covered his mouth and coughed violently a few times, and waved his hand loudly without waiting for his breath to be stable: "It was not defeated until the second year of Chuping, the Yellow Turban Army is such a rabble, and it is recommended as the Taishou of Dongjun, what kind of ability can such a child have, and it can be compared with my Xuzhou elite?" ”

It wasn't until he finished saying that he held the case with both hands, opened his mouth wide and gasped violently, and the obscene figure hurriedly jumped out, helping him cover his back to help him calm his breath, and shouted loudly: "Not bad! Hou Ye has been wise and martial since he became strong, since he broke the Yellow Turban Thief, he is invincible, such a child dares to come to Hou Ye Tiger Whiskers, he is really impatient, as long as Hou Ye personally goes out, he will be able to break it with one drum..."

Hua Fei was furious when he heard this, this person didn't know who it was? It's just a matter of despising him again and again, but at this critical juncture, he still wants to add fuel to Tao Qian, is it really because he really wants to braise Tao Qian?

He clearly remembered that in history, it was because of Tao Qian's self-defeating leadership that he was defeated by the enemy in Pengcheng, and then he abandoned the city in fear and fled to Tancheng to defend it, which led to hundreds of thousands of homeless people who originally came to rely on him to be slaughtered by the enemy in Pengcheng.

Thinking of this, Hua Fei stepped forward and bowed, interrupted the guy's flattery, and said loudly: "Since ancient times, the truth that arrogant soldiers must be defeated, I believe that Liyang Hou should be very clear, but I just heard your words, every sentence is full of contempt for the enemy army, I don't know why you think that the enemy army is vulnerable?" ”

Hua Fei's words were reasonable, and Tao Qian was not easy to refute for a while, but he glanced at Hua Fei coldly and did not speak.

But it was the obscene guy who jumped to point at Hua Fei and scolded: "Bah! Bold Huafei, what identity are you waiting for? Dare to ask if the waiting master is coming? You are just an ignorant villager, how dare you talk about the military? Why don't you kneel down quickly and apologize to the waiting master? ”

Hua Fei glared angrily and clenched his fists and stepped forward to the man, shouting, "What are you?" Do you know how to do military affairs? ”

"Bold! I am Cao Hong, yes! My cousin is a big man in charge of the military in Xuzhou, how can I not know the soldiers? You dare to offend me, I don't think you want to live you! ”

"Hmph, Cao Hong, right? Since you know the soldiers, then let me ask you, how much do you know about the enemy army in order to survive a hundred battles? ”

"Is this ......" This Cao Hong is just a villain who can only slap his beard, and he couldn't help but be speechless when he heard it.

Hua Fei further clenched the Buddha beads in his hand and asked loudly: "How to distribute the enemy's strength?" ”

How did Cao Hong understand this, he was speechless for a while, and took a step back.

Hua Fei was angry at this person's arrogance and rudeness, and angry that he didn't know the priorities and blindly encouraged Tao Qian's wrong decision, and immediately pressed Li Sheng step by step and asked: "Are the enemy soldiers refined?" Is military law strict? Are their rewards and punishments clear? Who are their leaders? He took a step forward every time he asked, and Cao Hong was so open and stammered that he stepped back.

Hua Fei took a few steps in a row, and asked loudly: "You don't know anything about the enemy's intelligence, and you dare to say that you know the soldiers?" The so-called "I don't know what I know" is already there, one wins and one loses, let me ask you again today, what is the situation of our army? ”

Cao Hongzheng was embarrassed, and when he heard that he wanted to ask about the situation of the self-army, he said in his heart: "You don't know the situation of the enemy army, but can you not know the situation of the self-army?" Don't forget my cousin, but..."

Thinking of this, he felt that there was a chance to equalize this son, so he couldn't help but raise his head and say, "Okay, just ask!" ”

Hua Fei secretly sighed in his heart, and said in his heart: "Does this son seem to be quite simple, I have never heard of it, and it always makes people ask if he can win?" "It's like attacking and defending, how can you win if you only defend and don't attack? He couldn't help but think of the question asked by later generations, how many ethnic groups and how many people have population, and what are their names? And the joke of how many suns, moons, and stars in the sky comes.

Seeing that this son didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Hua Fei also happened to take the opportunity to ask him the right question, and to dissect the strength and weakness of the two armies to Tao Qian. ”

"There are more than 80,000 elite soldiers in Xuzhou."

Hua Fei asked again: "Who is in charge?" ”

"My cousin Cao Bao."

Hua Fei asked: "Is there a clear reward and punishment?" ”

Cao Hong replied: "That's a must. ”

"So do you practice regularly? What are the formations you practiced? ”

Cao Hong replied unashamedly: "Of course, there are regular exercises, as for the formation practiced, it is nothing more than a round defense cone attack, and the soldiers are all very proficient." ”

Hua Fei smiled disapprovingly, turned the Buddha beads in his hand twice, and paced softly: "It seems that the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou can still fight under the leadership of your cousin." ”

Cao Hong was very proud when he heard this, raised his head and said: "Of course, my cousin is loyal and courageous, and he is dedicated to waiting for the death of the master..."

Cao Hong was thinking about taking the opportunity to say good things for his brother, but Bi Huafei suddenly turned around and said: "It's just that the total strength of the enemy army is at least 350,000, while our army is only 80,000, don't you think this comparison of forces is a little too far behind?" ”

Cao Hong gasped when he heard this, "Is this..."

Hua Fei ignored his hesitation, and said: "And our army is only well-trained as you say, and the enemy army, whether it is the original soldier or the Qingzhou soldier formed later, is it all a person who has experienced bloody battles on the battlefield for a long time. ”

"Uhh

Hua Fei said again: "After the comparison between the soldiers and soldiers, let's talk about Cao again...... Several battles of thieves, Liyang Hou said that Cao thieves have been defeated repeatedly, which Hua Fei does not dare to disagree, not to mention that his people were elite with the imperial court in their early years, and they had many achievements when they broke the yellow scarf, even if they were defeated by the enemy when they attacked Dong, it was because their subordinates were only a few thousand people, and the reason for the lack of troops. ”

Hua Feiluo paused for a moment and said: "And there are three victories of the Dong army, one is that the Dong army is ambushed, the second is that they are all elite soldiers, and the third is that the troops are superior. However, even so, he still led a small number of troops and fought with the Dong army for a day, only then did he retreat in defeat, which made the enemy army dare not pursue, and it can be said that he was still glorious despite defeat. ”

"Humph!" Cao Hong snorted coldly unconvinced, but Tao Qian was still the same, listening silently.

Hua Fei turned the Buddha bead and said again: "After the defeat of his people, he went to Yangzhou to recruit troops, and when he returned with more than 4,000 elite soldiers, there were those who escaped, and later recruited more than 1,000 soldiers, and the number of his total troops should not exceed 5,000 soldiers, but even if it is like this, he can still defeat the 100,000 people of the Black Mountain Bandit Army first, and then defeat the elite cavalry of the Southern Xiongnu in Hanoi, and then defeat the millions of people of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. ”

This time, Cao Hong's face was a little pale, his lips trembled slightly and he couldn't speak, Hua Fei approached and stared at him and said: "Such a character who can win so many battles with a weak force, and defeat the strong with a weak force, will he be a repeat defeater?" Will the soldiers under his command be a rabble? Do you think this is possible? ”

"This..."Cao Hongden stammered, and kept backing this one after another.

Hua Fei asked again: "Our army's strength is already very short of the enemy's army, and what we have to face is brought by such a person, this kind of strong army, but you have repeatedly instigated Liyang Hou to lead the troops into battle, the so-called fierce soldiers are dangerous, I want to ask you, what kind of intentions do you have?" ”

Cao Hongzhi was so shocked that his feet were weak, and he sat down on the ground directly, his face trembling like ashes: "I..."

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Hua Fei felt relieved and no longer paid attention to him, but turned to Tao Qian, who also had a pale face and a slightly trembling beard, and saluted: "Liyang Hou, I heard that if a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the situation on the battlefield will change in an instant, and open guns and hidden arrows cannot be prevented!" ”

He paused slightly, then turned the Buddha bead and continued: "And the terrain around Pengcheng is dangerous, it is the only way to enter Xu by Yan, as long as Pengcheng is guarded, and then ambush the cavalry with strong mobility outside, and then order a powerful general to lead and use it as a surprise soldier, in this way, it is better to defend the city and attack the enemy with surprise, isn't it better than you personally go to the battlefield?" A small suggestion also looks at Liyang and waits for three thoughts! ”

Hua Fei's words analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us in detail, and even pointed out the key points of defense, Tao Qian did not answer immediately, lowered his head and pondered and digested alone, and the hall was silent for a while.

Although Tao Qian said that he was stubborn and self-serving, after all, he was a person who had been in war for a long time, and after several comparisons, he finally raised his head and shouted: "Come on, serve tea to Mr. Hua!" ”

Hua Fei knew Tao Qian when he heard this, and finally listened to his opinion, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that his plan had achieved initial success.

Just as he was thinking about what was going on, he suddenly heard Tao Qian shouting again: "Cao Hong, what are you still sitting on the ground doing, why don't you invite Mr. to take a seat?" ”

"Huh?" Cao Hong, who had not yet recovered his strength, looked at Tao Qian with a big mouth but was glared at by Tao Qian, and hurriedly got up and worked hard, squeezing out a smile that was more bitter than a bitter gourd, and saluted Hua Fei: "Mr. Hua, please take a seat!" ”

Hua Fei hurriedly thanked him, the guards offered fragrant tea, and the guests and hosts on both sides knelt on the cushions, which made Hua Fei, who had been talking for a long time and finally drank a sip of fragrant tea, very unaccustomed to it, and thought: "In the past, when I read novels, someone invented a chair and made a fortune, and it seems that this is really a way to get rich." ”

Thinking of a plan to make a fortune in his heart, he kept saying a few unnutritious words to Tao Qian and Tao Qian.

Suddenly, Tao Qian asked: "Fang Caiqian heard Mr. say that this plan is a yang conspiracy, which has been a yang and a yin since ancient times, but I don't know if Mr. still has a conspiracy?" ”

Hua Fei asked, 'Alas! With a light sigh, he turned the Buddha beads in his hand, closed his eyes in the faint scent of sandalwood, but secretly blamed himself for speaking too carelessly, and he actually leaked his mouth.

It's not that he pretends to be clever, it's just that if this conspiracy comes out, although it is beneficial to Xuzhou, it is a huge disaster for the people of Yanzhou.
