In the mansion of the general of Dahuangcheng, Mr. Lu and Lin Shou exchanged their respective information, and then began to discuss countermeasures.

The two are old acquaintances, and the relationship seems to be quite good, Xu Han was worried that the mutual suspicion of the two forces did not happen, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

He has always been interested in power, not to mention that he doesn't know anything about this march and war, and he didn't have the intention of fighting for power in this big yellow city from the beginning. It's just that they are inevitably worried that Lin Shou's side will distrust them, adding variables to this already worrying war.

"The 100,000 defenders of Dahuangcheng are naturally elite soldiers, but the 20,000 soldiers and horses transferred by the imperial court are really lackluster, although the lord of my family has gone all the way..."

"Well, I said bitterly that the 30,000 soldiers and horses offered by all parties are barely some combat strength, but after all, the establishment is different, and it may not be realistic to come in handy in a short time, so in this way, the battle of Dahuangcheng still depends on the 100,000 soldiers in the hands of General Lin. ”

Mr. Lu's words not only analyzed the situation clearly, but also euphemistically expressed to Lin Shou that Tiance Mansion would not compete with it for power.

Such an act may seem redundant, but it is actually extremely necessary.

The most important point of marching and fighting is that orders and orders are forbidden, and if they go their own way, not only will they not be able to do everything, but they may also contain each other. Compared with Dahuangcheng, the strength of the Tiance Mansion side is far inferior to that of the other party, even if Lin Shou is willing to hand over the military power, they may not be able to convince the public. Therefore, this method is the best choice to defend against the enemy today.

When Lin Shou heard this, the smile on his face was obviously a little heavier.

"Mu Ji has 200,000 Mu family troops in his hands, and he borrowed 100,000 Great Xia Iron Cavalry from Cui Ting, if Dahuangcheng wants to survive this catastrophe, it is definitely not Lin Shou who can do it alone, or rely on you to defend against the enemy together. Although the words were prevarication, they actually responded to Mr. Lu's previous words.

"Naturally, it's just that General Lin has come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Seeing the end of the polite words in front of him, Mr. Lu's words changed sharply, and he quickly went straight to the point.

"The current situation of Da Huangcheng, compared to the old man, there is no need to say much, with more than 100,000 troops in his hands, it is difficult to repel the 700,000 army of Mu Ji and Cui Ting, and the old man really has no good strategy. After that, he looked at Mr. Lu and asked with heavy eyes, "Mr. Lu has always been resourceful, but what are his tricks?"

"Mu Ji's ability, General Lin knows better than me, if you want to deal with him, you can't deal with him with common sense, but Yan Lianlou of my Tiance Mansion has found out before, Mu Ji's body seems to be getting worse day by day in the past few years. Thinking that he is acting in a hurry now, I secretly wonder that I am afraid that Mu Ji's time is short... As long as Mu Ji dies, the 200,000 Mu family army will inevitably be leaderless..."Mr. Lu said in a deep voice.

"Do you mean that Mu Ji's body can't survive?" Lin Shou's brows furrowed, such a strategy can be described as the next choice, and handing over life and death to the enemy is undoubtedly the most stupid way.

"Dahuangcheng is like an isolated island, the old man thinks about it, but there is only one way, but waiting for Mu Ji to drag down his body is obviously not a good strategy, the old man means to find an opportunity to kill the thief. Mr. Deer's voice was cold at that time.

"Beheading?" Lin Shou was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "It's true that this pharaoh has also thought about it before, but the Mujia army is like a cloud, and there are three generals in the Great Yan Realm alone, on the other hand, I Da Huang City, but I can't find a monk in the Great Yan Realm, only Lord Hou Ling, the commander of the Tiance Mansion, can fight with it, but the ten thousand armies can fight from it... Even Commander Yuan himself may not be able to do this, let alone Lord Hou?"

"Commander Yuan is afraid that he will not be able to arrive in a short period of time due to important matters, although the beheading is a dangerous move, but I think that if you want to break the deadlock, the only way is to break the cauldron and sink the boat!" Mr. Lu's eyes froze, and a murderous aura rose.

Xu Han, who was sitting on the side, was stunned, and he suddenly realized that the head of the three thousand ministers should not be as simple as a powerless Confucian scholar.

......

The old general is indeed very good at managing the army.

After dinner, Xu Han, who was walking in the Yellow City, looked at the neat queue of high-spirited soldiers on the street, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Mu Ji was about to attack Dahuang City soon, and the remnants sent by the imperial court and the 30,000 soldiers he brought were mixed together after the discussion of everyone, and they were taken by Hou Ling, the current temporary commander of the Tiance Mansion Army, to start training.

Lin Shou pulled the red-robed ministers to discuss how to arrange the city defense, and they couldn't sleep peacefully tonight.

Xu Han really couldn't help with these things, so he walked around the street alone.

The night is just right, and the autumn breeze is slightly cool.

Xu Han had no intention of appreciating it, he was very worried about the battle of Dahuangcheng.

"The lord of the house, the lord of the house. At this time, there was a crisp cry in his ears, Xu Han came back to his senses, looked sideways, and saw Su Muan holding a string of sugar gourds, looking at him with a smile on his face. "Taste it, it's delicious!"

As he spoke, the boy handed over the string of sugar gourds.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and asked with a straight face: "Didn't you let you eat less! Did Keqing secretly stuff you with money again?"

"Nope. The boy was a little aggrieved, he pointed to the stall opened by a woman not far away, and said, "That mother-in-law kindly gave it to me, and I didn't ask for money!"

Xu Han was stunned, Mu Jibing came to the pond, most of the people in Dahuang City fled, and the rest were probably cowering at home, and few of them still had the heart to go out, not to mention setting up a stall, which was somewhat strange.

He glanced at Su Mu'an angrily, "Nonsense again, how can I give you a sugar gourd for nothing?"

"Really. Seeing that Xu Han didn't trust him, the boy suddenly became anxious. "When the old woman heard that I was from Tiance Mansion, she gave me this sugar gourd. As if to increase the credibility of his words, the boy paused and then said, "I really didn't lie to the lord of the mansion, and the swordsman never lies. ”

Xu Han automatically ignored the boy's last words, he shook his head, and walked to the old woman's stall with a scared look on his face.

"Old man, this is this child's gourd money. As he spoke, he took out ten pennies from his bosom and handed them to the woman.

It is not easy to do some business in this world, and a sugar gourd money may be the ration of a family. The old woman couldn't help but not leave at this juncture, and went to the street to make a living, thinking that it would not be too rich to come to the house, Xu Han was not willing to take advantage of her.

The old woman who was concentrating on wrapping the gourd in sugar raised her head when she heard this, he glanced at Xu Han, was slightly stunned, and then came back to his senses.

The woman, who had already given birth to many wrinkles on her face, hurriedly shook her head: "No need, just give it to the little guy, Tiance Mansion is willing to help us in Dahuangcheng, and my old woman makes some sugar gourds that are worthless." ”

The old woman's face had a real smile on her face at that time, she couldn't say how good-looking, but it made Xu Han feel a warmth inexplicably.

He thought about it for a moment, and then withdrew the hand that handed out the money.

"The battle of the Great Yellow City is coming, why didn't the old man leave earlier, after all... A land of war..."Xu Han asked with a frown.

"People are old, how can they withstand such a toss, not to mention that we still have General Lin here?" the old woman waved her hand and smiled, but she did not have the slightest nervousness when the big war was approaching.

"My two sons are also in the army, and if they don't leave, where can I go?" the old woman continued, and without stopping her work, she wrapped a string of gourds in sugar.

"The little brother also came with a bunch, the old man has no other skills, but this sugar gourd is very delicious, and my two sons have to eat a bunch every time they come back. The woman smiled and handed the gourd to Xu Han.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and after a slight hesitation, he still took the gourd. I tasted it, and it was really delicious.

"Delicious, isn't it?" the woman's eyes were curved into crescent shapes.

"Well, it's delicious, it's the best sugar gourd I've ever tasted. Before Xu Han could reply, the corners of his mouth were stained with sugar, and Su Mu'an nodded heavily, and said with a face full of intoxication.

The old woman who received the praise was happy, "I have always set up a stall here, and if I want to eat in the future, I will come to my mother-in-law at any time." ”

"Hmm. Su Muan was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded heavily. Xu Han, who was watching the side, secretly scolded this kid in his heart for being unproductive, how could there be such a swordsman in the world who loves to eat sugar gourds?

"Alas, I don't know when those military masters of the Xia Kingdom will be able to retreat, and when this battle will come to an end. The old woman smiled, and her expression suddenly became a little dull.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, our lord is very powerful, and he will be able to drive those villains away soon!" Su Mu'an chewed a sugar gourd in his mouth, and said in a somewhat indistinct voice.

"Eat gourd, where do you get so many words. Xu Han handed the gourd in his hand to Su Mu'an's hand, and said angrily.

Su Muan knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly closed his mouth, but his eyes were looking at the newly arrived sugar gourd, and he smiled for a while.

Woo!

But at this moment, a long horn suddenly sounded in the direction of the city gate.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look in the direction of the city gate.

"Hurry up, the Xia army attacked !! at night"

"Archers are fast!"

"Go tell the General!

Anxious cries came from the city gates.

Xu Han's pupils dilated suddenly, and Mu Ji's attack came much faster than expected...
