"It can't go on like this!" In Yangzhou Shouchun, Xu Shu stood in the city tower and listened to the scout's report, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's coalition army is getting closer and closer, and Yangzhou is now in addition to Lujiang can still communicate a little, and all other places have lost contact, needless to say, it must be lost.

The degree of Zhang Liu's coalition army can not be described as unhappy, the scout letter in front, at most two days Liu Bei's army and Zhang Xiu's Xiliang Iron Cavalry will be in Shouchun City, if it were not for the problem of military food, I am afraid that Shouchun would have been attacked, after all, Liu Bei took so many cities, but the grain and grass are still in the rear, and Zhang Xiu's arrival The supply of grain and grass is also given by Liu Bei, Liu Bei's hands have Liu Pi's years of looting, and the rich heritage is enough for more than 100,000 troops for more than a year.

"No reinforcements, no food and grass! There is no main force in his hands" This is Xu Shu's most headache, the final response to the letter of help to Lujiang is to stay behind and wait for help, which sounds good, but Xu Shu knows that the meaning of this sentence is that there are no reinforcements, at least not now, at least when Xu Shu's letter for help is delivered, the reinforcements have not yet been prepared, and there is not much grain and grass in Shouchun City, and the main force has! There are only two hundred people, all of them are cavalry, heavy cavalry, this is Liu Mang's white horse from the righteousness, when he learned that Liu Bei's army was not in Yuzhou, Liu Mang asked Zhao Yun to go back with two hundred heavy armored cavalry to help Xu Shu, so that Xu Shu could also have a mobile force in his hands.

Now Xu Shu doesn't expect to directly beat Liu Bei back, he just wants to delay time now, because there is a store in Shouchun Industrial Park outside the city, and there are a lot of precious materials and other things in it, which have not had time to be moved, and some of them need to be burned directly, and these things can't fall into the hands of Liu Bei or Zhang Xiu. Liu Mang confessed before leaving, even if it was completely destroyed, it would not appear in the hands of the enemy, and those bed crossbows, ballistas, and even those books, as well as the manufacturing in the cement, could not be leaked out.

The industrial area has been built for so long, where is it so easy to move it all. So Xu Shu needs time, needs plenty of time, and now the scout in front of him replied that there are still two days to go at most, and the army of Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu is about to arrive in Shouchun, and Xu Shu needs time. It took time to move the industrial area, so he had to figure out a way to delay Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's march into the army.

"Report to the Advisor! From above the water, many ships came! It's General Gan's fleet," a herald walked in and said to Xu Shu.

"Ganning's fleet? Is the lord back?! Xu Shu stood up and asked. If Liu Mang comes back, then it will be much easier, and Xu Shu can even have a good fight with Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's coalition forces outside this Shouchun City.

"Nope. No! There are not many people on General Gan's fleet, but his ship is loaded with a lot of food, and he said that he wants the military division to send someone to help carry it! The herald answered Xu Shu's question.

"Food!" Xu Shu's eyes flashed, what he lacks now is grain and grass, with enough food, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses are not afraid even if they are doubled, after all, there are still millions of people in Shouchun City. Let them help defend the city, what opponent can defeat Shouchun.

Xu Shu came to Shouchun Water Village with the herald, and saw that the water floating on the Yingshui was indeed Ganning's water army, in fact, there was no need to distinguish it, because there were a total of three water armies on this Yingshui, a Lao Cao's water army, and Lao Cao's water army was in the area of Xiyang Shangqiu, which could only be regarded as a water patrol team, because there were only a thousand people in total, and there was not even a big boat. All the elites were pulled by Lao Cao to the Yellow River and Yuan Shao to fight the battle of Guandu, where did they dare to come to the Yingshui Huai River, not to mention the more than 10,000 sailors under Liu Mang's command, even Liu Bei's 5,000 sailors could beat him so that he couldn't find a home, so Cao Cao's sailors were very well-behaved. Basically not out of the water village, the second is Liu Bei's water army, well! Liu Bei's navy has become history, there were only 5,000 people, or that kind of ordinary navy, even bed crossbows have not been assembled, and there are not many boats, and the 12,000 sailors in Gan Ning's hands sent them to the bottom of the Huai River with one charge, so the sailors above the Huai River are only Liu Mang's Ganning sailors.

"These grains!" Xu Shu obviously had excessive expectations, originally, Gan Ning's fleet was a naval warship, they were not transport ships in the first place, how much grain and grass could they carry, looking at it in front of him, it was already good to be able to ten thousand stones, but it was better than nothing, with these grains and grass, they could hold on for a while.

"Strategist!" Gan Ning commanded the sailors to help Shouchun's men and horses to transport grain and grass, and Gan Ning saw Xu Shu hugging his fist at Xu Shu.

"General Gan, where is the lord's army now!" This is what Xu Shu cares about, where is Liu Mang hitting now. Only by knowing some specific information can Xu Shu have a greater grasp of the next resistance to the combined forces of Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu.

"When I came back, the lord was about to attack Yingshang!" Gan Ning did not conceal and told Xu Shu about the movements of Liu Mang's army.

"Yingshang!" Xu Shu's head was thinking, the map of Yuzhou had completely entered Xu Shu's mind, after Yingshang County was Ruyin, and after the difficulty, Runan, hundreds of miles apart, even if Liu Mang was fast, if he wanted to take Runan, it would take months, Xu Shu frowned slightly, anyway, the Shouchun defense battle must come by itself.

"Strategist, do you want to bring the soldiers of the Navy Army to Shouchun and the Strategist to defend the city together!" Gan Ning asked very kindly, although Gan Ning's troops are all water armies and water troops, but don't forget it, Gan Ning's combat effectiveness is still very strong, and it is no worse than those Qingzhou soldiers on the battlefield.

"No need!" Xu Shu refused, Gan Ning's water army Liu Mang said before leaving, he has great use, the water army is not as good as the foot soldiers, and the foot soldiers will teach the formation if they become an army, and there are some battlefield skills and armor weapons, and some garrison troops, for example, Xu Shu now has an army of 50,000 in his hands, which is a large number, but it is all a rabble, and it is simply cannon fodder, and it can be used directly on the battlefield.

The navy is different, not only to know water, but also to understand hydrology, on the surface of the river, the warship will shake, especially when the war starts, if you are not familiar with the water lines, I am afraid you will not even be able to stand up. That's a fart, it's impossible for a qualified navy to pull on a warship without a year and a half, most of Ganning's navy is composed of Jiangxia sailors, even some recruits are fishermen along the river for a generation.

Therefore, it is definitely a big loss to use it to defend the city. And even if Shouchun is lost, if the navy is still there, it can still cross Hongze Lake along the Huai River, and then cross the Yangtze River to return to the Lujiang River, which can be regarded as a retreat.

"Then I'll take my leave!" Gan Ning hugged his fists and finished transporting grain and grass. Ganning's navy needed to go back to Lujiang, and the port of Shouchun had not been completely repaired, so it was impossible for the warships to anchor.

Watching Gan Ning's departure, Xu Shu's thoughts that had just eased a little tightened again, how could he stop Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's coalition and let them pause. Xu Shu looked aimlessly at the surrounding scenes, the bags of grain and grass, and the porters one by one.

"Grain and grass? Grain and grass? Suspend Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu's joint forces! Xu Shu's heart suddenly moved, his eyes shone brightly, and those who are familiar with Xu Shu will know that this is Xu Shu's expression after solving the problem, the kind of look like a burden.

"Someone. Summons me, General Zhao Yun, and bring two scouts from our army to the meeting hall, those two scouts must be loyal to our army, and it is best to have a family in Lujiang or Shouchun! Xu Shu said to the guards on the side.

"Yes, Strategist!" The guards clenched their fists and left.

Xu Shu also returned to Shouchun's meeting hall, and after a while, Zhao Yun and the two scouts were brought along.

"Strategist!" Zhao Yun hugged his fist at Xu Shu, "I don't know what happened to the military advisor Zhaoyun here?!" Liu Mang gave Zhao Yun's elite cavalry, the cavalry battalion of the Chengguan army. also gave Zhao Yun the change of the cavalry battalion into a white horse Congyi, war horses, armor, grain and grass weapons, nothing lacked Zhao Yun's, and gave Zhao Yun a lot of self-care, Zhao Yun said that it was fake if he was not moved. Zhao Yun has no military exploits under Liu Mang's command so far, at most, he sent a sentence to Guan Yu from the previous pursuit of Guan Yu's fleet, originally Liu Mang went north to Yuzhou to fight against Liu Bei, Zhao Yun also followed, thinking that he could fight with Liu Mang's army, after all, he is a cavalry unit, with strong mobility, and Liu Bei's men have many foot soldiers, once the cavalry is killed, in addition to the white-eared heavy armor soldiers, it is a nightmare for other foot soldiers, but Liu Mang sent Zhao Yun back after knowing that Liu Bei's main force was not in Yuzhou.

Now that Xu Shu is recruiting himself, there should be some big moves.

"These two scouts are reliable!" Xu Shu asked the guard who brought someone over on the side.

"Absolutely reliable!" The guards didn't answer, Zhao Yun on the side helped to reply, in fact, Xu Shu asked redundantly, because Shouchun's scout was in charge of Baima Congyi after Zhao Yun's Baima Congyi returned to Shouchun, Baima Congyi was in charge of it, Baima Congyi's predecessor was the cavalry battalion of the Chengguan Army, almost all of them were veterans of the Chengguan Army, and Liu Mang was born and died, either the old man of the Bingzhou Army, or the old man of the Xuzhou Army, such people made them not hesitate to die immediately for Liu Mang, it can be said that if even they are not reliable, there will be no reliable people in Liu Mang's army.

"Yes! Then I have a very important task to teach you two scouts, are you willing to go! Xu Shu asked at the two scouts.

"I'm willing!" The two scouts looked at each other and replied.

"Don't answer so quickly!" Xu Shu shook his hand, "This mission is a lifeless mission, if you don't know it, you will enter the Hall of Heroes!" Are you still willing?! "Xu Shu has to communicate with these two scouts in advance, because this task is very important, once it fails, it may involve the industrial area outside Shouchun City, and the biggest consequence can even affect the great cause of the lord, so Xu Shu has to be cautious.

"This!" The two scouts are also people, they are not trees, insects, fish, they think, and what are people most afraid of? That is death, no one can be calm in the face of death, and they are not afraid of death on the battlefield, that is because there is no time to think, and now Xu Shu directly proposed that this time your mission may die, this feeling is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

"Military Division, my Lou Shaoqi is a native of Xuzhou, after Xuzhou was slaughtered by Cao Cao, there is only one eight-year-old sister in the family who is now in Anhui City, he is the only relative of Shaoqi, I hope the military teacher will help me take care of my sister!" Lou Shaoqi said with a fist at Xu Shu

"Lou Shaoqi, don't worry, your sister is my Xu Shu's sister, I will treat her as my own sister, raise her up, teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and find her a good in-law when she grows up!" Xu Shu said to the scout who claimed to be Lou Shaoqi.

"Strategist, I Fenghe was originally from the state army, my family has long died in the hands of foreigners, I joined the old lord's command for revenge, and now I am also alone, Shaoqi and I are brothers, He also hopes that the military advisor can treat Shaoqi's sister well! If it is possible, He hopes that when my Han Dynasty seals the wolf Juxu, the military advisor can burn some paper money in front of He's grave and tell him that "Feng He is very single, he is alone, and the whole family is fed by himself."

"Whew!" Xu Shu closed his eyes, he didn't expect these two scouts to agree, and he didn't expect the request of these two people to be so simple, according to Xu Shu's strategy, these two people will definitely not survive, they will die and die. Thinking of this, Xu Shu nodded heavily.

"General Zhao Yun, the next step should be General Zhao Yun, your white horse from righteousness!" Xu Shu took an arrow from the main seat of the council hall, and after Liu Mang left, the rights of the entire Shouchun and even the entire Yangzhou were taught to Xu Shu, so Liu Mang was not there, Xu Shu had full power, from military power to political power, Xu Shu walked to Zhao Yun's side.

"Where is Zhao Yun?" Xu Shu shouted loudly.

"The last general!" Zhao Yun hurriedly knelt down, his white horse was about to act, Zhao Yun couldn't be excited in his heart! He also wanted to see how strong the re-established White Horse Congyi was.
