****************

When the monarch Liu Xi and his ministers were serving wine to Liu Cun, Wang Qi, who was stationed outside the West Gate, had already sent eight scouts to quietly march westward, and Yan Shen, with Xu Sheng as his assistant, led a thousand cavalry to follow the response, and entered the area of 50 li long and 30 li wide to the west to carry out reconnaissance.

On the morning of the next day, the monarch convened the subordinate military to discuss the strategy of repelling the enemy, and Liu Cun and Wang Qi, as the commanders of the Qinwang army, were invited to participate.

Thanks to the two consecutive years of bumper harvests in the south of the two major food towns in the south, namely Qiu and Junan in the east of Wangcheng, the grain and grass in the warehouse of the monarch Liu Xi were sufficient, and the swords, guns and armor left by the previous monarch stored in the arsenal were enough to equip 10,000 soldiers, so Liu Cun and Wang Qigang put forward a request for grain and grass, and the monarch immediately and generously allocated it.

It was nearly noon, and the 300 cavalry sent by Wang Qi to Nancheng to contact the Xuzhou army returned, and at the same time, Mi Zhu, who was engaged in Xuzhou, and Mi Fang, who led 500 cavalry to escort all the way.

After Mi Zhu met Liu Xi, he quickly reported the current strength of the Xuzhou army and the situation of the battlefield, and the last sentence of the "confrontation stalemate" four words, so that the encouraged Liu Xi Junchen nervous.

The two Mizhu brothers respectfully asked and answered with Liu Xi, and reported in detail the preparations for war in Xuzhou.

After listening for nearly half an hour, Liu Cun couldn't help it, looked left and right and found that Cheng Bing, who had gone out to pee, had not come back, so he quietly pulled the long sleeves of the first Cangci and whispered a few words in his ear. Please Baidu нéíуапgě is our greatest support, thank you!

Cang Ci reacted immediately, left his seat and walked behind the monarch to whisper.

Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, then announced the dismissal of the meeting, and invited the Mi family brothers, Liu Cun, and Wang Qi into the Zhongyuan meeting room, and dozens of civil and military officials only left the minister Zhang Fan, Neishi Cangci, and the new lieutenant Yin Xin, who was engaged in Cheng Binghe's leading troops, and Xu Ci, the chief bookkeeper who had a good personal relationship with Liu Cun, went to the imperial capital Luoyang and did not come back.

On the way to the palace garden, Liu Cun and the tall Mi Fang were able to say a few words, Mi Fang had great respect for the family's largest partner Liu Cun, patted the exquisite armor on his body, thanked Liu Cun for his generous gift, and then recounted his birth date.

Knowing that Liu Cun was born on the fourth day of November, half a month older than himself, Mi Zhu immediately bowed down and respectfully called Liu Cun his brother.

Liu Cun hurriedly returned the salute, talked with him affectionately while walking, and entered the conference room and invited him to sit beside him.

Mi Fang's face contours are similar to Mi Zhu, anyone can see that the two are siblings, Mi Fang is taller and stronger, the eyebrows are thicker, the slightly sunken eyes are very flexible, the gestures are humble and sincere, showing good upbringing and demeanor, in him, Liu Cun can't find any fault, if there is, it's just the sword on his waist and a few accessories on his body are expensive and gorgeous, but now the children of the family who are not like this, people who are more luxurious than Mi Fang abound.

Everyone humbly sat down one after another, and after the monarch finished a few polite opening remarks, Minister Zhang Fan immediately looked at Liu Cun with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Liu Envoy Jun is full of strange materials, both civil and military, and he must have a strategy to retreat from the enemy at this moment, right?" ”

Everyone knew that business was coming, and immediately looked at Liu Cun with a smile.

Liu Cun smiled slightly: "Xie Guoxiang praises!" There is no strategy to retreat from the enemy, but the strategy of destroying the enemy is set in three. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, some blamed Zhang Fan for relying on the old and selling the old, and some wondered if Liu Cun had a prejudice against Zhang Fan? Because after Zhang Fan took office, he satirized Liu Cun's shabby and humble background more than once, once drank too much, and ridiculed Liu Cun in front of the public for not reading the sage book well, except for being able to pinch a few pottery, there is only a belly of strange skills left.

Mi Zhu had also heard rumors that Zhang Fan was satirizing Liu Cun's background, but he and Cang Ci, Cheng Bing, Xu Ci and others all knew that Liu Cun never cared about his background, and he never argued anything about it, so in Mi Zhu and everyone's impression, Liu Cun was a polite, humble and open-minded gentleman, but for some reason he suddenly became abnormal?

Liu Cunxian arched his hand to the monarch Liu Xi, took advantage of the situation to greet everyone, put down his hand and explained solemnly: "After recovering Dong'an and Dongguan counties last year, our army knew very well the difficulty of the Yellow Turban thieves, because our army only annihilated more than 3,000 of its more than 3,000 people and captured more than 7,000 people, and the main force of the Yellow Turban was not injured. In the early winter of last year, the winter wheat was finally planted, and the thieves came to attack again, and our army made up its mind to take the initiative to attack, using various tactics to lure the enemy's main force to gather and attack, and finally achieved a great victory in Dongguan, which was rewarded by the saint and the monarch, and the remnants of the yellow turbans entrenched in the mountains west of Dong'an and Dongguan fled rampantly, and still do not dare to set foot in half a step. ”

After listening to Liu Cun's explanation, everyone immediately understood what Liu Cun meant, not only did they not blame Liu Cun for being frivolous, but they felt that Liu Cun was frank and pragmatic.

Liu Cun continued: "According to our army's scout report, the more than 30,000 Yellow Turban thieves currently entrenched in Nanwuyang (now Pingyi) and Fei County, through the mobilization and even coercion of the civilians in the two counties, the number has increased to 80,000, and from the arsenals of the two counties and the defeated friends in Xuzhou, a large number of well-made standard weapons have been obtained. But its combat power cannot be underestimated, which is also the reason why Lord Zhu and Lord Xuzhou were instantly defeated by thieves. ”

Everyone nodded frequently, feeling deeply reasonable, Mi Fang finally saw Liu Cun's military level, and the unconvincing that had been hidden in his heart suddenly disappeared.

I only listened to Liu Cun continue to analyze: "It can be inferred from this that the tens of thousands of yellow turbans faced this time are not so easy to deal with, first of all, due to the drought and locust plague last year, millions of displaced people from all over the Central Plains flocked to the wealthy Xuzhou and Huainan, the Gyeonggi region, most of Yuzhou, the entire Yanzhou and most of Qingzhou, are now thousands of miles of red land, full of withering, tens of thousands of yellow turban rogues who live by looting can only go to Xuzhou, where there is money and food, to burn and loot, in order to survive the next three months of green and yellow. ”

"Secondly, the Yellow Turban thieves currently entrenched in Nanwuyang and Feixian are strong, and in contrast, our armies are at a disadvantage of being strong and weak: on the Wangcheng side, our army plus the 8,000 soldiers under the command of the lieutenant is only 15,000, of which the 4,000 officers and soldiers guarding the Wangcheng and the Yangcheng in the north cannot move; In Xuzhou, the total number of officers and soldiers on the two roads was less than 25,000, of which Lord Cao Bao led 10,000 officers and soldiers to block the road of the Yellow Turban Thieves in Nanwuyang to Changshu (in present-day Tengzhou), and the 8,000 men and horses led by Lord Zhu were trapped in Nanwuyang. ”

"Besides, 80,000 yellow turbans have obtained all the grain and grass in Nanwuyang and Fei County, but they have driven more than 200,000 innocent old and weak women and children to the southern counties and Kaiyang Wangcheng, throwing this heavy burden on our backs, but they have enough food and materials to use for more than half a year, so whether they advance, retreat, or hold on, the initiative is in their hands."

The lamentation sounded immediately, the monarch's heart was frightened, his face was full of sorrow, and the ministers Zhang Fan, Cangci and Cheng Bing were panicked in addition to exclamation, everyone knew the difficulty of this battle.
