"To fight without teaching is to abandon it." Lu Min was furious, slapped the case, blushed, waved his arms and said loudly, "I don't agree." If you want to do this resolutely, then let me open the city to meet the enemy, and when I am killed in battle, you can do whatever you want. ”

Xia Yu clenched the knife ring, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, he and Lu Min had been together for a long time, knowing that Lu Min was not lying and threatening, if he insisted on seeing it, Lu Min would definitely fight to the end, and it was not an empty word to fight to the death out of the city. Of course, he didn't dare to let Lu Min die in battle, how to explain to Lu Zhi was still a matter for the future, and he was about to face the anger of thousands of homeless people in the city.

Lu Min taught the children of the displaced people to read, and achieved a very big response among the displaced people, and the respect of the displaced people for Lu Min is far greater than the respect for his Xia Yu, perhaps only Zhang Ming, a Taiping Taoist person, can be compared with Lu Min in terms of influence. If the displaced people knew that Lu Min died because he refused to sacrifice them in vain, then he, the culprit, would definitely become the finger of Wanfu, and there would be chaos in the city.

Unless he orders the killing of all those who dare to jump out and make trouble, he believes that in the face of the threat of death, there are only a few people who really have the courage to insist on their sense of justice.

But it's definitely not a good idea.

Xia Yu turned his gaze to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu lowered his head, but it could be seen from his clenched fists that he didn't approve of this method either. Xia Yu looked at Zhang Ming again, Zhang Ming frowned slightly, his expression was displeased, and Yang Feng behind him was even more upside down, angry and angry.

After all, they are scholars, they don't know the cruelty of war, and they can only talk about it. Xia Yu sighed, for the first time he felt that inviting Lu Min to do the long history was not a complete matter.

Xia Yu slowly let go of his hand and coughed. Zhang Wu understood, hurriedly stood up, walked in front of Lu Min and arched his hand: "Zixing, my lord, this is just a suggestion, not a final decision, why are you so excited." If you don't agree, we'll find another way, there's no need to be so loud, right? You are a long history, you are the deputy general of the adult, the main general and the deputy general are not in harmony, if the people outside hear it, what will they think, can the people's hearts be stable, the people's hearts are unstable, how can they defend the city? ”

Lu Min frowned angrily, of course he didn't believe that Zhang Wu said that this was just some suggestion, Xia Yu definitely really wanted to do this in his heart, but he was limited by his prestige, so he didn't dare to go against the grain. However, he couldn't refute Zhang Wu's words, so he had to throw off his sleeves and return to his seat, silent with a gloomy face.

Zhang Wu was very embarrassed and said to everyone: "Everyone, how can you do while sitting, everyone should think of a way to see how to win this war." ”

No one said a word. The people brought by Lu Min felt that Xia Yu was too cruel, and in order to make meritorious contributions to himself, he wanted to let the displaced people die in vain. Xia Yu's people think that this is a matter of course, if they want to win this war, someone must consume the patience and strength of the Xianbei people, so that they can see the hope of breaking the city, and they are reluctant to leave, and they are exhausted and demoralized by attacking the city, and then it is possible to decide a battle, Lu Min and others do not know about military affairs, and have the kindness of women, but they don't know that this will only be bad.

Zhang He tugged at Liu Xiu's sleeve. Liu Xiu turned his head and saw Zhang He motioning for him to stand up and speak. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, and knew that Zhang He's suggestion was right, such a silent confrontation would only make the antagonism even greater, and only if he stood up and spoke would it be accepted by both sides. But he very much disagreed with Xia Yu's suggestion, fighting a war requires sacrifice, but the sacrifice of being a soldier is justified, because your responsibility is to protect your family and defend the country, why let the displaced people sacrifice? If I knew I was going to be sacrificed by you, then why did I bother to recruit the outcasts to the city?

It's not that the outcasts can't be sacrificed, but they can't be sacrificed by you.

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, this is very heroic to say, and it sounds very enjoyable, but if you are not that general, but that dry bones, what do you think? Even if you are the general, how can you be so at ease and righteous?

Liu Xiu knew that from an objective standpoint, Xia Yu's proposal was right, and only by doing so could the Xianbei people be beaten and scared, so that they would not dare to invade easily, and only then could more people die. However, when it comes to the end, how many people are cold-blooded and absolutely objective? If he can sacrifice the homeless people today, he won't sacrifice you Liu Xiu tomorrow?

Seeing that Liu Xiu didn't move, Zhang He had to move towards him, and whispered in his ear: "Deran, fighting without teaching is abandoned, but we still have time, we can teach while fighting, and fight while teaching." ”

Liu Xiu didn't quite understand, and rolled his eyes.

"If we don't let these outcasts participate in the war, the strength of the Captain's Mansion will be too bad, and even if we get an advantage, it will be limited, because in the end, the Captain will not have the troops to pursue and expand the results of the battle. And once the city is broken, what will happen to these untrained outcasts? Either they will be killed by the Xianbei people, or they will become slaves of the Xianbei people, in that case, why don't we teach them to fight first? Although Dahan has canceled the capital test, these homeless people have been running around outside for so long, and they still have some ability to dare to work hard. ”

Zhang He patiently explained, and Liu Xiu quickly understood what he meant. He thought for a moment, "Why don't you say it yourself?" ”

Zhang He smiled, shook his head gently, and shook the hand on Liu Xiu's shoulder vigorously: "We are together." ”

Liu Xiu smiled, he nodded slightly, stood up, arched his hand at Xia Yu and Lu Min, and explained Zhang He's suggestion just now in his own words. Xia Yu saw that although his proposal was not what he wanted immediately, it did not deviate much, so he reluctantly agreed. Lu Min thought for a while, and also felt that although Xia Yu was cruel, there was no better way than that, so he nodded and agreed. Then everyone discussed the details, such as how many people Xia Yu arranged to help with the training, and how Lu Min should appease the displaced people and persuade them to cooperate with the training and participate in the war, and finally reached a unified opinion.

In the next few days, Xia Yu made certain adjustments to the strength of Fengyuan outside the city, on the one hand, he increased some manpower, on the other hand, let some brave homeless people go to the city to participate in the battle first, and then send them to Fengyuan to cooperate with the battle after being psychologically prepared. Not only trained the homeless, but also trained the cavalry that was ready to be used to pursue out of the city.

In order to compensate for Xia Yu's losses, Liu Xiu proposed to equip these cavalry with stirrups.

Xia Yu didn't take it too seriously at first, but after trying it out, he immediately discovered the magic of this seemingly simple thing, and he immediately ordered people to rush to make two thousand pairs, and at the same time prepared halberd spears and other long soldiers for all the knights, in order to let the knights get familiar with these equipment in the shortest possible time, he demolished the backyard of the captain's mansion, and built a runway about five hundred steps long along the north city wall, so that the two thousand knights were divided into several groups and practiced in turns day and night.

Looking at the knight who had gone from being unfamiliar to being skilled, Xia Yu patted Liu Xiu's shoulder affectionately for the first time and said, "Deran, this stirrup can at least double the combat power of our army, which is enough to compensate for the loss of combat power caused by hundreds of people, and I am now sure that I can fight and win face-to-face with Xianbei people twice as large as mine." This thing is a good thing, you must not tell others, especially Xianbei people. ”

Liu Xiu touched his head, he had given the stirrup to Gongsun Chan before, but Gongsun Chan didn't think so, it hit him hard, he thought that only a person like himself who was not good at riding would take the stirrup seriously, but Xia Yu's reaction was far beyond his imagination, and he thought of things far more thoughtful than him. No wonder Xia Yu specially put a long leg armor on the knight, at first he thought it was just to strengthen protection, it turned out that there was an intention not to let people see the stirrups.

It seems that the experienced and the inexperienced are different.

How to prepare for war in the city, Huai Zong and Dou Gui couldn't see it, all they saw was that the guards in Feng Yuan had changed, there were fewer and fewer experienced soldiers, and there were more and more clumsy soldiers, although the defense in the city was getting tighter and tighter, but Feng Yuan was broken through more and more times.

Dou Gui first sensed the meaning of this, and he said to Huai Zong that the troops in the city were insufficient, and they might have used the exiles to defend the city. Huai Zong was overjoyed, and discussed with Dou Gui to step up the attack, further consume the troops in the city, and strive to break the city as soon as possible.

Huai Zong was overjoyed and prepared to intensify the attack, but at this moment, they received a message: the team escorting cattle and sheep had been attacked, and the cattle and sheep were lost.
