Today's Xu Shu has indeed changed a little, his meals have become very light, the meat is not touched at all, and he doesn't eat as much as Zhang Qiying.

Tong Guò learned that Xu Shu's old mother had passed away peacefully three years ago. Xu Shu is a person of filial piety, who has been guarding the tomb for three years, and now he can travel far away.

Although Xu's mother died at the end of her life, the death of her mother still made Xu Shu feel that life was short, and in the end it was empty, coupled with many years of depression and depression, so she had the heart to practice.

However, the path of cultivation is not so easy to follow, so far there is no way, Xu Shu went to visit many so-called enlightened people, but with his intelligence quickly identified that these people are nothing more than some cheaters, no skills. Therefore, Xu Shu's so-called cultivation is also all based on his own blind thinking.

When Xu Shu mentioned this, he shook his head and sighed, very distressed. Wang Baoyu knew a lot of strangers, and immediately promised that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely find a famous teacher for him, whether it was Yu Ji, Zuo Ci or Lou Zibo, it was more than enough to be Xu Shu's master.

Xu Shu naturally believed in Wang Baoyu's supernatural powers and skills, and was very excited, and let out a hearty laugh for the first time in many years. Because of the joy, after quitting drinking for several years, I also drank happily again, and even spoke a lot louder.

Xu Shu, like Wang Baoyu, did not agree with Cao Zhang and Cai Mao's rash attack on Liucheng, feeling that it would cause heavy casualties, not the best combat plan, and there was no certainty of victory.

Then ask Xu Junshi to come up with a good idea. Wang Baoyu looked at Xu Shu with a blank eye, he thought carefully for a moment, and finally came up with a feasible plan.

Xu Shu believed that he was about to attack and secretly sent a naval army north from the Bohai Sea to attack Changli City in the east of Liucheng. In this way, Liucheng will be attacked by the enemy on its back, and it will be difficult to defend.

Wang Baoyu thinks this is a good idea, but how should this water army be deployed? Xu Shu said that Liaoxi is very close to the sea, and there are exactly 5,000 naval troops and more than 100 warships, all of which can be used by the army, but it only needs the command of generals who are proficient in the navy.

When Wang Baoyu heard this, he slapped his thigh happily, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were the leaders of the navy when they were in Jingzhou, and they had many years of rich combat experience, so they could make the best use of their talents. Knowing that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were with him, Xu Shu was even happier, and firmly said that with these two generals, he could be safe.

Wang Baoyu felt that with Xu Shu as a military advisor, a lot of brain cells were really saved, and Xu Shu was indeed much stronger than himself in the deployment of grand strategy.

Subsequently, Wang Baoyu did not rush back to the camp, but sent Feiyun Mouse to call Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, two generals, and brought 15,000 soldiers and horses, together with 5,000 soldiers and horses in Liaoxi, to form a 20,000-strong naval army.

Being able to lead the navy again, Cai Mao's excited eyes lit up, patted his chest and said that he would definitely complete the task, but he put forward one more thing, that is, the soldiers and horses he brought were not proficient in water warfare, and there should be a training process, so he couldn't attack Changli for the time being.

After Wang Baoyu discussed with Xu Shu, he agreed with Cai Mao's statement that everything could not be rushed, so that the two of them should hurry up to train the navy, and at the same time recruit to build more warships.

Since Xu Shu wanted to go with Wang Baoyu, he handed over all the work at hand to his subordinate Gong Cao, and a week later, Xu Shu rode his war horse again and followed Wang Baoyu back to the marching camp.

As soon as he saw the location of Wang Baoyu's camp, Xu Shu frowned, "Baoyu, this camp is very inappropriate!" ”

Wang Baoyu hurriedly asked what was wrong, and Xu Shu said: "Baoyu, camping at the foot of the mountain seems to be safe, but in fact it is a taboo in the art of war. If the other side relies on the direction of the mountain and the wind to attack it with fire, then our army is in danger! ”

"Strategist, our side is in the north of the mountain, it is currently in the middle of summer, the south wind is prevailing, how can the other party attack?" Cao Chang wondered.

"At the end of summer, there is a northwest autumn wind, which is the time of the day, and it is necessary to guard against it." Xu Shu said solemnly.

Wang Baoyu also felt that he had neglected this important matter, and hurriedly ordered the army to stay away from Xu Wushan, and Xu Shu chose a plain area surrounded by water on three sides twenty miles away from Xu Wushan, and re-established the camp.

Xu Shu's prediction was not wrong, Wang Baoyu didn't know that Neng Erli, the leader of Wuhuan's cavalry, had already sent people to infiltrate the north side of Xu Wushan, and was waiting for the opportunity to launch a fire attack on the Han army camp, but suddenly found that the camp had withdrawn.

Coincidentally, two days later, a north wind blew, which made the Wuhuan leader Neng Erli annoyed for a while, and he could only look for another opportunity.

Anyone who has fought in war knows that there is no such thing as absolute safety on the battlefield. Camp at the foot of the mountain and be vulnerable to fire. And the plains also have shortcomings, and the enemy army can completely drive straight in. Therefore, Wang Baoyu set up many sentry posts around the camp, and kept watch out day and night.

Cai Mao worked overtime to train the navy, and the original 5,000 sailors were all mobilized to train new soldiers, saving a lot of time.

But despite this, it will take at least three months, Wang Baoyu waited patiently and did not launch an attack on the Wuhuan army, and what puzzled him was that the army had arrived at the border of Wuhuan, not only did he not see a single Wuhuan soldier, but even the people of Wuhuan had not seen it, which was really incredible.

Although some people were also sent to investigate, the results obtained were not satisfactory, and nothing was found.

Wang Baoyu was a little anxious, according to this situation, even if the army attacked on all fronts, it would be difficult to find the main force of the enemy, how to launch an accurate attack?

Xu Shu saw Wang Baoyu's thoughts, and patiently comforted him, Wuhuan is a nomadic people, and it is not strange that it is difficult to find his whereabouts, and if he enters the hinterland, he will definitely be able to gain something.

However, scouts cannot adopt this method, dressed up as Han Chinese, and are easily captured by the other party, and the detective work needs to be improved in the future.

The battle was in a stalemate for a while, and at dusk that day, I only heard the sound of horses' hooves in the north suddenly, and finally a team of Wuhuan troops came.

Wang Baoyu immediately led the army across the river to meet the enemy, and the generals Cao Zhang, Wen Ping and Fan Jinqiang were all gearing up, excited, coming for so long, they could finally fight happily.

There were about 2,000 of them, all of them strong, with a handful of hair on top of their heads, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, holding short knives and light crossbows behind their backs, and riding on tall horses, waving their arms and shouting strange slogans as they galloped towards this direction.

Wang Baoyu did not take the RV, but rode the Xiaotianma, and Zhang Qiying was behind him, hugging his waist. Wang Baoyu didn't come to show affection with Zhang Qiying, he frowned and pointed ahead and asked, "Yingzi, what are these savages shouting?" ”
