Xia Zhuangzhuang bowed modestly, and said: "My lord, whether it is sending a special combat brigade to steal into the enemy camp, or sending elite soldiers out of the city to fight, what is done is a dangerous move, field warfare is Li Jun's strength, he has many generals, no matter how brave the Han soldiers are, there is a great risk of casualties, and the loss of troops is the biggest weakness of the Han people, the Han people are poor and weak, and there is no follow-up reserve source, once the field battle is surrounded, the Han city will have no one to defend, this is a ......taboo for soldiers."

Xia Yong scolded on the side: "You are a child, you talk exaggeratedly, the commander has planned a long time ago, and he has already calculated it properly, where do you not know these drawbacks......"

Liu Zhibang nodded and said: "Commander Xia, what Ling Lang said is extremely true, I am in a hurry, if it is not for the reinforcements of the Dragon Clan, I will lose this battle, but I also have a last resort, at that time, my Han people have almost run out of ammunition and food, and defending the dangerous city will naturally reduce casualties, but I can't survive Li Jun, the field battle and the raid are all a last resort, for which I also lost the most elite second battalion, this battle can only be regarded as a miserable victory, narrowly defeated......"

After a pause, Liu Zhibang asked, "According to Mr. So, in my opinion, how will our clan plan from now on?" ”

Hearing Liu Zhibang call himself Mr., Xia Zhuangzhuang was humble and also had a strong sense of pride, Xia Zhuangzhuang thought about it and continued: "According to my estimates, within a month, Xia Yuancheng will raise heavy troops to attack again, and adults should be prepared for battle......

Liu Zhibang asked with some surprise: "Sir is not in my Council of Elders, how do you know all this?" ”

Xia Zhuangzhuang said eloquently: "Xiucai doesn't go out, he can know the world, if I am the court of the Qingyun Empire, I will definitely extinguish the fire as soon as I learn that there are rebels inside, so as not to let more people who are ready to follow suit......"

Liu Zhibang smiled and continued to ask: "According to Mr. Wang's opinion, how will the Qingyun Empire be arranged, and how will my Han nationality deal with it?" ”

Xia Zhuangzhuang frowned and thought for a while, and said: "The Han army Li Jun will definitely tell the truth, according to the usual practice, if there are rebels in the county and county, the county should send troops to exterminate it, and after the defeat of Xia Yuancheng, there are less than 6,000 soldiers who returned to Xia Yuancheng, many of them are wounded, and the soldiers who can be recalled again are less than 3,000 people, and the troops that can be collected this time should mainly come from the border army of Xia Yuancheng, but the border army must always guard against the attack of the Jinguang Empire, and the troops that can be mobilized are limited, and they will not exceed 10,000 people, if they want to capture the Han people in one fell swoop, The elite soldiers shall not be less than 30,000 men, and according to this calculation, then Usang County should allocate 20,000 standing troops, and the people will not count the coolies, and at least 50,000 troops will be mobilized......"

Liu Zhibang sighed heavily, this is not much different from his calculation, Xia Zhuangzhuang's knowledge is indeed extraordinary, and he thought that the idea of choosing him as a strategist before was extremely correct.

After talking deeply with Xia Zhuangzhuang until midnight, Liu Zhibang returned to his residence, half happy and half worried, happy that Xia Zhuangzhuang is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and has a deep understanding of the Divine Enlightenment Continent to help, and will be like a tiger in the future, worrying that Xia Yuancheng's second crusade will be an extremely difficult test, this battle not only has more and stronger enemy forces, but also gradually develops the situation to a higher level, which has attracted the attention of the Qingyun Empire, but this is also inevitable, Liu Zhibang has to readjust the plan in order to have more confidence in the future war.

"Ah...... Bai Xia Zhuangzhuang became a military advisor and merged into the Council of Elders, which ......"

"He is Xia Yong's son, Xia Yong has not joined the Council of Elders, he has no merit, how can he also join the Council of Elders?"

"It's not my race, its heart is unpredictable, the patriarch ...... this decision"

As soon as Liu Zhibang announced Xia Zhuangzhuang's appointment, the elders of the clan began to discuss, most of them had just a name concept for Xia Zhuangzhuang, looking at the thin figure beside Liu Zhibang, the elders all had a somewhat alienated look.

Liu Zhibang waved his hand to suppress everyone's voices, and said loudly: "The elders may have many doubts about my decision, but if everyone is willing to believe in my Liu Zhibang's vision, this matter is settled...... At the same time, I announce to you that the Han nationality has established a staff committee today, Xia Zhuangzhuang is the first chief of staff, Xia Junshi, any resources you need can be obtained from Elder Shanya, and the staff only obeys the orders of the patriarch and is not subject to the control of others...... At the same time, the ministries are actively operating, and it is imperative to complete the preparations for war before the next big war......"

"Yes, Patriarch......"

The elders stood up and answered.

"Patriarch, I have made a plan, please review ......"

After the meeting of the elders was dismissed, Xia Zhuangzhuang took out a booklet and presented it to Liu Zhibang with both hands, Liu Zhibang took it, was slightly moved, and said: "I didn't expect the military advisor to work so hard, you have a detailed plan in all aspects, and there is such a clever plan, it is rare...... But there's a lot to be done with this plan! ”

Xia Zhuangzhuang said modestly: "Please ask the patriarch for advice!" ”

Liu Zhibang took Xia Zhuangzhuang's hand and said: "You come with me, you didn't join the Council of Elders before, and you can't access many secrets in the clan, so you will write a new plan for the information I told you......"

After Xia Zhuangzhuang left, Aya walked into Liu Zhibang's room, covered the door and said, "Abang, is it too has......ty for you to appoint Xia Zhuangzhuang today?"

Liu Zhibang poured a cup of tea for Aya, and Fang replied: "I chatted with Xia Zhuangzhuang for half the night last night, his understanding of the Divine Revelation Continent is very profound, and there are many places that I have not noticed, which is the best supplement for me, an outsider, and his ideas are wild, but he is well-planned, and his IQ is extremely high, and he is the smartest person I have seen so far." Heroes don't ask about their background, when Han Xin and Liu Bang had a long talk all night, Liu Bang was impressed, and worshiped the little-known Han Xin as a general and commanded the three armies, I am not as good as Liu Bang, but Xia Zhuangzhuang may not lose to Han Xin......"

Aya smiled and said, "It seems that you still have great confidence in Xia Zhuangzhuang, but how can you compare yourself with Liu Bang, just because the name is similar, hehe......"

Liu Zhibang smiled slightly, and said: "Speaking of which, I may still be Liu Bang's descendant, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, it may not be impossible, since fate gives me a chance, then why can't I think about it, can't I do it?" ”

Aya's eyes lit up, and she praised: "Yes, a good man has ambitions in all directions, since he has the opportunity, he should try his best to fight for it, but I don't want you to become Liu Bang's ......"

Liu Zhibangqi said: "Why? ”

Aya sighed and said, "Liu Bang is too kind-hearted, I still like your kindness......"

Liu Zhibang looked at the tenderness in Aya's eyes, his heart was warm, and he thought, what more can a husband ask for if he has this partner in life......
