Chapter 3 Brainstorming

At first, Zhao Yun said that he didn't want to leave Liu Hou to go to Maicheng, what kind of international joke did he make, this time he accompanied the prince out, his responsibility was heavy, and the safety of the prince He as a super nanny has an unshirkable responsibility, in case the prince has any three long and two short, winter melon and tofu, he is really dead.

Liu Hou explained to him bitterly, and finally brought up Zuo Ci's name, saying that he had calculated that Guan Gong would be worried about his life in Maicheng, and asked Zhao Yun to save him. At the same time, he promised that he could deal with the situation in Nanjun, and he would run back to the ship if he couldn't fight.

In the end, Zhao Yun thought about it, too, this Nanjun was built on the edge of the Yangtze River, and the "super battleship" Jingzhou was close at hand, and Liu Hou could indeed escape back to Jingzhou at any time.

And he has seen the terrifying combat power of the Jingzhou, 92 guns, which is terrifying to think about. This should not be the weapon of this world at all, even with a person like Zhao Yun, who has experienced a hundred battles and has big nerves, he will feel terrified when he fires a salvo of gunwales on the side of the Jingzhou.

In desperation, Zhao Yun repeatedly told Liu Hou to put his own safety first, and then led the order to Maicheng. And poor Liu Hou counted the people and found that he had a cup. The reason is that there are only 1,500 people left. Due to the tight fighting at the front, Guan Gong transferred all his troops to the front line, leaving only 2,000 men for Pan Jun to garrison in Nanjun. Just now, he gave 1,000 to Zhao Yun to take away, and now he only has 1,000 Jingzhou soldiers and 500 musketeers left on hand.

How can such a force be enough to defend a huge city? Liu Hou grabbed his hair and became worried, and scolded Guan Yu as a pig's head in his heart, he was still very stupid and naïve.

He couldn't understand how Guan Gong could be so relieved to hand over his back to Dongwu, a wolf from the East. He really thinks that he is related to Sun Quan? I don't want to think that I have offended Sun Quan many times, especially some time ago, Sun Quan sent someone to ask Guan Yu for marriage, wanting his son to marry Guan Yu's daughter.

Guan Gong didn't agree with it, he didn't agree with it, he didn't talk to people well, but said: "Tiger girl An can match a dog." "Isn't this a slap in the face? Saying such insulting words, even ordinary people should fight hard with you, not to mention Sun Quan, who is one of the three princes, who can swallow this breath?

And this Guan Gong didn't have any vigilance at all, leaving only 2,000 people to guard Nanjun. This is not the same as saying to the thief: "The door of my house is always open, and I am waiting for you with open arms." "What?

Liu Hou convened a military meeting in the government office, and Pan Jun and other well-known figures such as Fei Yi, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, and Pu Yuan, who had come from the "Ministry of Industry," attended the meeting. Liu Hou clearly told everyone that Sun Wu would sneak attack Jingzhou, and asked everyone to think about what way to defend Nanjun.

Pan Jun disagreed with Liu Hou's statement, and his reason was: Junhou (referring to Guan Gong) was so powerful that Sun Quan would not dare to touch his beard. Besides, the Liu and Sun families still have an alliance covenant, how could Sun Quan tear up the covenant and attack us without authorization? Besides, the prince has set up a beacon tower, if the Eastern Wu sneak attack, the beacon tower will send a signal, and when we have defense, how can they succeed in the sneak attack? .

This is also the general opinion of the whole Shu Kingdom, and even Zhuge Liang did not see the shape clearly at this point. Of course, Shu is not without people, for example, Zhao Yun once built a yì to abandon Jingzhou, and lost Jingzhou to Wu and Wei to fight for, and it was useless to waste troops in this place of four wars. It's a pity that such a voice is too weak to affect the decision-making level of Shu.

Liu Houdao: "This matter is true, as for the source, I will not go into detail here." As long as General Pan knows that this news is accurate, he only needs to concentrate on the countermeasures to crack it. ”

At this time, Liu Hou showed his dictatorial side, joking, all of them burned their eyebrows, what kind of democracy is they engaged in, who has time to explain anything to you. Liu Hou decided to skip the process of explaining the source of the intelligence and go straight to the next step - thinking of countermeasures.

It turned out that the team that followed Liu Hou from the "Ministry of Industry" did not have any doubts about Liu Hou's astonishing news. After all, in the past few years, they have seen a lot of all kinds of miracles of Liu Hou and Zuo Ci, the two masters and apprentices, and in addition, in the past two years, they have gradually cultivated Liu Hou's leadership ability and gradually become accustomed to obeying Liu Hou's orders.

Then, Liu Hou threw a bombshell, saying that the plan of the Eastern Wu sneak attack on Jingzhou was planned by Lu Xun and carried out by Lu Meng, and they would wear white clothes (referring to civilian clothes, not white clothes), disguise themselves as merchants, wait for the opportunity to approach the beacon tower, and then suddenly send out the people of the beacon tower, so that they could not send the news. Then he deceived the city gate and attacked Nanjun.

Liu Hou tried his best to recall and try his best to tell some of the processes about the story of "crossing the river in white" in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he watched when he was a child. At the same time, I also secretly regret in my heart that now I can still rely on my understanding of history to make unpredictable predictions, and when Jingzhou happens, the entire history will be changed by myself, and then my historical knowledge will no longer work, and everything will depend on myself at that time.

Pan Jun heard Liu Hou explain the process of the enemy's sneak attack in such detail, and he could even tell the details of wearing a white coat to control the beacon tower, and he immediately didn't dare to doubt Liu Hou's source anymore. I thought to myself, this prince estimated that he had already installed Xizuo in the Dongwu camp, and it must be that their sneak attack plan was detected by Xizuo, no wonder the prince traveled thousands of miles to defend Jingzhou, it turned out to be like this.

And Liu Hou's old department, who came from the "Ministry of Industry", was also secretly surprised, this left Taoist chief's skills are getting better and better, how can he calculate the future to such a fine level. There has always been only a general outline of the trend of things that are good at mathematics, and even many monks are saying ambiguous words, these words can be understood in this way, and they can also be understood in that way, and they can't know what these words mean in advance, and they often suddenly realize it when they are confirmed afterwards.

And this time, Zuo Ci not only predicted that Dongwu was going to attack Jingzhou, but also predicted the details, is Zuo Ci really an immortal?

No matter what the old ministers of the "Ministry of Industry" thought of Zuo Ci, Liu Hou continued to preside over the meeting, and he decided to adopt the brainstorming method, hoping that everyone would discuss a countermeasure together. It's a pity that all the participants in the brainstorming are experts in various fields, but look at the people in their brainstorming sessions, what kind of goods are they.

Although Fei Yi is a civil servant, he is good at internal affairs, and he is also a junior brother in terms of war strategy. Guo Youzhi is better, after all, what he has learned is more complicated, and he has also dabbled in the art of war, so he can be regarded as a usable talent.

Don't count on Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, the two hairy boys who haven't grown all their hair, they only know how to fight and kill all day long, and it's barely usable to let them charge into battle, so let them make suggestions.

Pu Yuan is devoted to technical research, and belongs to the type that ignores things outside the window and only cares about laying iron, which can basically be ignored. The head snake Pan Jun has a straw bag, and it is estimated that he can't mention anything constructive.

He had never been so eager to have a super strategist by his side now, but it was a pity that Liu Bei refused to send Pang Tong to himself.

The meeting went on for an hour, and still nothing good came out. At this time, Liu Hou suddenly remembered one thing: When did Wu Jun come to sneak attack?

Liu Hou said this, and everyone began to discuss it again. Zhang Bao said, why didn't Zuo Daochang calculate the specific time? provoked Liu Hou to roll his eyes again and again. Guo Yuzhi sent spies to investigate. Fei Yi said that the four doors should be closed and no one should be allowed to enter or exit. Pan Junti stepped up the guards of the four gates and stepped up patrols in the city.

Well, after all, this is not a difficult topic, and it is not very straw here, and in the end, Liu Hou summarized everyone's opinions and made a decision: send more spies to find out the news along the river. If you see a man in white crossing the river in a big boat, do not disturb them, and report it immediately.

Since the people brought by Liu Hou were not familiar with the road conditions here, this matter could only be carried out by Pan Jun and arranged by the people of the original Jingzhou Army. Liu Hou is character who thinks of doing something and wants to do it immediately, so he immediately asked Pan Jun to arrange this matter and refused to delay for a moment.

After Pan Jun arranged the affairs of the spies, the sky was getting dark, and after Liu Hou and the others arrived in Nanjun, they began to take over the work of Nanjun, and then arranged for Zhao Yun to go on an expedition, and then held a military meeting to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy, not only did they not have time to rest, but they didn't even eat dinner. At this time, everyone was so hungry that their stomachs were gurgling.

So, Pan Jun hurriedly called his subordinates and asked him to arrange a banquet. Liu Hou asked him to bring the meal directly to the conference hall, intending to let everyone discuss while eating, and even prepare for a candlestick night talk.

This made Pan Jun complain a little, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to give Liu Hou the opportunity to drink and eat a good meal, who knew that this world was so unsophisticated, not only did he not give him alcohol, but he didn't even give a good meal, what was going on while eating.

Of course, Liu Hou didn't know the dissatisfaction in Pan Jun's heart, even if he knew, he would ignore him, this is the benefit of the superior, as his own son, he is n grades different from Pan Jun, and he doesn't speak well, there is no place for him to speak here. Besides, after all, time is urgent, it can be said that it is a race against time, although he has arrived in Jingzhou, but the crisis has not been resolved, the situation is still very serious, and those small details are now no longer time to take care of.

After a while, the meal was delivered, and each person had a tray containing a meal, which was placed on the table in front of everyone. Liu Hou thought to himself, it turns out that this way of eating separate meals was not invented by Westerners? Our country has had it since ancient times. It seems that not only is the dining the quintessence of the country, but even this purported more hygienic way of eating separate meals is also the quintessence of the country.

As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, Nanjun is built on the edge of the Yangtze River, and at this kind of banquet in the upper class, you can naturally eat fish, shrimp and crabs and other river fresh. A group of people from the "Ministry of Industry" can't say that they haven't eaten river fresh, but it is not common to eat such a hearty meal of river fresh. As a result, a group of people also ate deliciously and feasted happily.

During the banquet, only Liu Hou and Pan Jun were not surprised. Liu Hou has lived in the later generations with extremely rich materials, not to mention any river fresh, even if it is seafood, he has not eaten less, and he is naturally not much surprised by such a tray of fish, shrimp and crabs.

Pan Jun has been stationed in the local area all the year round, and naturally he has no shortage of such meals, so he doesn't have much feeling about this meal. But after all, it's getting late, and my stomach is protesting, and it seems that this meeting doesn't know when it will be, so why embarrass my stomach, dissatisfied is dissatisfied, and what should be eaten is still eaten.

Everyone saw that Liu Hou was indifferent to the He Xian at the table, and they couldn't help but sigh that they were young and old, calm and steady.

At this time, Liu Hou gradually pulled back the idea of desertion and re-entered the main topic of discussing countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, when it comes to the art of war, although there are many kinds, there are only a few that are commonly used." Liu Hou stopped his chopsticks, apparently planning to make a tirade.

"I want to hear about it!" Several people from the "Ministry of Industry" bowed to Liu Hou at the same time.
