Chapter 55

"General, people have brought."

Xiahou Yu was just about to take a pen, and someone came in from outside. This time it was his subordinate, Chen Bing was recuperating from his injuries, and Xiahou Yu's direct orders were all followed by Zhao Guang.

As he spoke, Zhao Guang came in with four soldiers behind him, all of them were wounded, and the wounds were still new, as if they had just gone through a fierce fight.

He picked up the pen, put it aside, and asked, "It's the four of you?" ”

One of the soldiers said, "If you go back to the general, there are more than a dozen brothers, but none of them can come to see the general now." ”

Zhao Guang explained: "General, they are all lying outside. It's dead. ”

"A dozen dead." Xiahou Yu's face sank like water, as if he was thinking about something, and he was silent for a while before he said: "In recent years, even the strength of the bandits in our Qi country has become stronger and stronger. ”

Zhao Guang's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "The general forgives the sin, and the last general must lead the soldiers to practice diligently, and there will definitely be no more ...... yesterday."

"More on that later." Xiahou Yu raised his hand to interrupt Zhao Guang's words and asked the four soldiers, "Where did you meet them?" ”

The soldier said: "Back to the general, the lowly officials follow the general's instructions and go all the way east to find Ling Luoxue's whereabouts." Chased out a hundred miles, to the foot of Chen Mountain, it was late at that time, the mountain road in front of it was rugged and difficult to walk, the lowly officials thought about taking a break at the post station, and then continued to chase people at dawn. Unexpectedly, the owner of the post house opened a black shop, and there was collusion with the local bandits. They put sweat medicine in the food of the lowly people......"

Zhao Guang added: "General, the last general has inquired clearly, the area of Chenshan has just changed heads recently, and the former bandit leader was killed by a hairy boy who appeared out of nowhere with a group of young people. The group of boys had been king of the mountain for only three or four months, and they had probably been sitting and eating empty mountains before, and the food and money had been used up in the past three or four months, and at the end of the year, they made waves and started the idea of grabbing money. ”

"Yes. When they ran out of money, they didn't go to rob the landlord's old wealth, they didn't go down the mountain to block the road, but they picked the soldiers dressed in the official mansion of Qi State...... What do you think they are going to do? ”

Zhao Guang frowned and analyzed: "It's not that they are young and frivolous, and they specifically provoke the soldiers of our Great Qi Kingdom?" ”

Xiahou Yu laughed, "If that's the case, they can be regarded as having a beautiful first battle." ”

Zhao Guang immediately knelt down and begged for his life, "General, the group of bandits in Chenshan is really arrogant, please let the general order Zhao Guang to lead a team of soldiers to suppress them." For the New Year, let's remove a harm for the people of Shangjing, and it can be regarded as a big gift for them! ”

"Vice General Zhao wants to eliminate harm for the people of Shangjing, but this king sees that the group of bandits in Chenshan is not a bone to gnaw on, and Chenshan Mountain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, you lead the troops over, what are the chances of victory?"

Zhao Guang said: "General rest assured, Zhao Guang will definitely live up to his mission." ”

"The king asked you what your chances are, and what are you going to do to destroy them?"

Zhao Guang groaned and said, "Although Chenshan Mountain is steep and gives that group of bandits a natural barrier, it is winter now, and there is a good chance that the food on the mountain will have to consume inventory. They went down the mountain to loot, but there was not enough food and money on the mountain. They want to have a good year, but the end will not be what they want. At that time, the end of the year will only need to lead people to fortify under the mountain, and the road down the mountain will be blocked, so that the people who purchase at the bottom of the mountain will not be able to go up, and the robbers on the mountain will not be able to get out, they will be short of food and grass, and they will not even have the strength to eat, so they will have to surrender obediently. Even if you really want to fight us, it's just a mantis arm as a car. In this way, the bandits of Chenshan will be suppressed. ”

Xiahou Yu guessed his thoughts when he heard Zhao Guang say the first sentence, although it was a good idea, but he was too anxious and ignored an important matter.

After Zhao Guang finished speaking, Xiahou Yu put the teacup on a piece of white paper, and picked up the brush to draw a circle around the teacup.

Zhao Guang took a few steps forward and observed carefully, but he didn't understand the meaning, so he had to ask for advice: "The last general is stupid, what does the general mean by this." ”

Xiahou Yu said: "Chenshan Mountain is steep, if you attack, you will suffer heavy casualties, so you can only control the battle situation under the mountain." If we don't go up, cut off their food and grass imports, and force them to give up the powerful situation and go down the mountain to duel. In any case, we are several times superior to them in numbers, and if we turn to the bottom of the mountain, we may indeed annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”

Zhao Guang thought that he had been recognized by Xiahou Yu, and was just about to happily ask him for troops, but he was asked by Xiahou Yu in the next sentence, his face was blushing, his neck was thick, and he almost suffocated to death without mentioning it in one breath.

Xiahou Yu held the brush, lightly painted a few words to the west on the east side of the teacup, and asked, "Vice General Zhao, do you want to go out first to see what wind is blowing outside?" ”

What what the wind, of course, is the east wind.

What kind of wind can they blow this season?

Although Zhao Guang is a lieutenant general, he is not a fool. The things that were overwhelmed by anger just now were praised by Xiahou, and when he woke up from a dream, he was like a high-rise building in one step, and the sweat on the back of his head came out instantly.

Fortunately, it was just his own opinion just now, if the general didn't think of the direction of the wind, he would have led his troops to Chenshan not to exterminate it, but to self-immolate.

Xiahou Yu saw Zhao Guang's face and knew that he understood everything, put down the brush, and said: "Although there is no guarantee that they can think of the trick of borrowing the wind from the fire, they are not afraid of ten thousand in everything, just in case." If you surround Chenshan, you can only block their exit to the west, and they will not go to the capital, and then they will retreat east along the mountain road but it will be unimpeded. Then you will lay an ambush at the foot of the mountain, and they will set fire to your camp, and then the fire will take advantage of the wind, and the wind will help the fire. None of you can escape. They don't have to rob anymore, they will carry you all back to the mountain, and those roasted human flesh can be eaten for ten days and a half months. ”

The sweat on Zhao Guang's face was about to drip, and he quickly raised his hand to wipe it off, as if listening to Xiahou Yu's words, they were already in the scene, surrounded by the fire that instantly blew in front of them by the east wind. He was surrounded by burnt soldiers, screaming and screaming......

"General, ...... general"

"Okay, people have misses, horses have stumbled, this time it's just analysis, it's harmless. But the memory should be long, and when the real fight starts, this king may not be able to remind you next to you. ”

"Yes! Remember! ”

"Let's go down."

"General." Zhao Guang clenched his fists, "I will ask more." Since the last general's method is not feasible, how are we going to deal with the bandits in Chenshan? You can't leave them alone! ”

"They don't lack food." Xiahou Yu got up and said concisely, "Kill a dozen Qi soldiers who don't even bring much money, can you manage nearly a thousand people in Chenshan and open a few mouths?" ”

Zhao Guang took a cool breath.

"They had a plan." Xiahou Yu laughed meaningfully, "Grabbing money and grain for the New Year, children are blind. ”

"General!"

"You can do that." He lifted the curtain and went out of the tent, "First for the New Year." ”

Zhao Guang suddenly realized and smiled: "Then he roasted them!" Hahaha. The general is wise! ”
