Fight or not

This difficult question was placed in front of Tai Shici.

Bian Dao, Zhong Liyi, and Liang Wei were killed in succession, and the morale on the city tower was low. At this time, the turtle could not shrink, and he lost face and morale.

Tai Shici's choice is a little difficult.

Ai Jing stared at Huang Hu with angry eyes. His own martial arts are ordinary, and it is difficult to win, so he can only rely on Tai Shici. He arched his hand and said: "General, Bian Dao Zhong Liyi Liang Wei was killed, the situation is critical, please kill Huang Hu." ”

"Please go to war"

The rest of the officials in Ai County spoke one after another.

For a while, Tai Shici was even more embarrassed, because the county order of Ai County was also putting pressure on him.

Tai Shi Ci is not an indecisive person, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The Yellow Tiger is strong in martial arts, and it will be difficult for the general to win. Once defeated, the morale of the army will be damaged. In this battle, it is not suitable to fight. ”

When Ai Jing heard this, he was immediately disappointed.

Tai Shi Ci shouted: "Liu Xiu, Ben will wait for you to attack the city. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he knew that Tai Shici would not come out.

Huang Hu was unwilling and shouted: "Tai Shi Ci, dare to fight" However, Tai Shi Ci didn't care about Huang Hu at all, and let Huang Hu shout under the city tower.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu ordered, "Huang Hu, come back." ”

Huang Hu retreated unwillingly, looked up at Tai Shici, and was even more disdainful.

Liu Xiu did not attack the city, and withdrew his troops and retreated ten miles back to camp.

The army was encamped, in a big tent.

Liu Xiu, Deng Zhan, Huang Hu, Zhao Yun, Deng Ai, gathered in the camp.

Deng Zhan Zhengse said: "Lord, Tai Shi Ci is stubborn in Ai County, if he doesn't fight, we can only storm the city." It is suggested that early tomorrow morning, attack Ai County. ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "Don't worry, attacking Ai County is the next step, and you can't attack it until the end." We are different from Huang Zhong Pangtong, they have to hurry up, but we don't have to worry about running out of time, we can fight slowly. Moreover, our strength is only 10,000 troops, and the result of storming Ai County can only be to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of ourselves. Such an approach is not appropriate. ”

Deng Zhan sighed lightly: "What is the lord going to do?"

Liu Xiu was not in a hurry, and said: "Let's find out the situation in Ai County first, and then think about it." ”

When Deng Zhan heard this, he knew that he would definitely not be able to attack the city.

Liu Xiu didn't allow Deng Zhan to choose at all, and immediately ordered: "Deng Zhan, immediately send scouts to the surrounding areas to search for the news of Ai County, as well as the news of the county order of Ai County." ”

"No"

Deng Zhan got the order and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Zhao Yun sat down and snorted: "Xiu Gongzi asked Deng Zhan to collect information, is he going to check the situation of the county order of Ai County, and then make a move to divide the county order of Tai Shi Ci and Ai County is just from the analysis of today's battle situation, Tai Shi Ci killed three generals in a row, but he still suppressed his anger and did not fight, he was not an impulsive person." It is not easy to make Ai County infighting. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Zilong will wait and see"

Zhao Yun said: "Okay, I'll wait and see how you break the city." ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said no more.

That night, the scout brought back the news, and the situation of Ai County and the county order Ai Jing was clarified.

Ai County is a large county of Yuzhang County, and there are nearly 5,000 troops in the county. Ai Jing, the county commander of Ai County, is upright, jealous and hateful, and is deeply loved by the people. It's just that Ai Jing is impulsive and short-tempered, and he is closer to a martial artist.

Impulsiveness is the devil

The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth hooked up a smile.

Since Ai Jing was impulsive and misguided, it prompted him to be impulsive and sabotage Tai Shici's plan to garrison Ai County.

Immediately, Liu Xiu called Deng Zhan and ordered the next plan for Deng Zhan to send someone to execute. After Deng Zhan wrote it down, he meticulously sent someone to carry out the order.

The county seat, the county government.

Ai Jing returned to the county office, angry and angry. In the battle on the city tower, Ai Jing felt that it was too much, and he lost three generals in a row, but Tai Shici was indifferent.

He simply didn't care about it and let Tai Shici operate it.

For two days, Liu Xiu kept sending people outside the city to call for battle, but Tai Shici was indifferent and did not move, and there was no more fighting between the two sides. Ai Jing, who was sitting in the county office, was becoming more and more irritable, feeling that this battle was too embarrassing.

Jiangdong met Jingzhou, and had the upper hand everywhere, once upon a time, he was pressed and beaten by Jingzhou, and he was blocked at the door of his house, and he did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle

Huang Hu is indeed powerful, but Huang Hu has only one person, can he stop thousands of troops

This is exactly where Ai Jing is dissatisfied.

On this day, the county lieutenant came to the county government to ask for a meeting.

The two looked at Ai Jing, and the county Cheng took the lead and said, "My lord, Tai Shici is stationed in Ai County and will not fight for a few days." Nowadays, Huang Hu is wild outside the city every day, and he also takes off his pants and pees from time to time, which is really hateful. ”

Ai Jing said: "Tai Shi Ci doesn't fight, and this official has no choice. ”

The county said: "If you don't fight, the final result will definitely not be able to win." There will be no pie in the sky, and victory will not come to the door. ”

The county lieutenant echoed: "My lord, if you want to win, you must find another way out. ”

Ai Jing stared at the two of them and said, "You two, what do you want to say" The county magistrate and the county lieutenant sang and harmonized, and the actions of the two made Ai Jing quite puzzled.

The two of them are Ai Jing's subordinates, and if there is something abnormal, Ai Jing immediately notices it.

"If you are wise, you will know that you can't hide it from you. ”

The county lieutenant smiled and spoke.

Ai Jing was anxious, slapped the desk with a slap, and shouted: "What do you think, just say it." ”

Xian Cheng said: "The humble post collected the news about the battle between Tai Shi Ci and Liu Xiu, and as Liu Xiu said, Tai Shi Ci failed every time. He believed that Tai Shici was afraid of Liu Xiu and did not dare to fight. Because every time Tai Shi Ci took the initiative to fight, he was ambushed, or the rear camp was burned, or the back road was cut off. ”

Speaking of this, Xian Cheng clenched his fists and said, "It is impossible for Tai Shici to fight in the face of Liu Xiu. What we think is that if we want to defeat Liu Xiu, we have to fight ourselves. ”

"Fight on your own"

Ai Jing's eyes showed a solemn look, and he said, "What do you mean, leave Tai Shi Ci aside and act alone." ”

The county lieutenant said, "Yes, that's the only way to do it." ”

Ai Jing shook his head and said: "Tai Shi Ci is in Ai County, he is a person sent by Sun Taishou, and he has more power. If you want to bypass Tai Shici, it is simply impossible. ”

The county lieutenant said: "Actually, it's possible, it depends on whether the adults want to make meritorious contributions." ”

Ai Jingdao: "Who doesn't want to make meritorious contributions, just say it, talk about people." ”

The county lieutenant smiled and said, "There are too many ways to get rid of Tai Shi Ci, the county commander only needs to invite Tai Shi Ci to the county office, and then take the opportunity to control Tai Shi Ci, and then lead the army to attack Liu Xiu." Liu Xiu came on a long journey, and the strength of the two sides was equal, even if we had a tough encounter with Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu would suffer in the end. After all, he can't replenish his troops, and we in Ai County can recruit a steady stream of soldiers to replenish our strength. ”

"You mean to storm Liu Xiu"

After listening to this, Ai Jing's heart began to bloom, thinking about the feasibility of this suggestion.

The county said: "My lord, even if we offend Tai Shici, if we defeat Liu Xiu, Sun Taishou will definitely favor you, not only will he not be held responsible, but he will be rewarded." On the contrary, if Tai Shici's current strategy is adopted, he will lose it for a long time, and once it fails, the adults will be implicated. ”

Ai Jing bowed slightly, but he was still worried: "If you fail in the battle, the consequences will be very serious." ”

The county said: "This is a battlefield, and dangers are lurking. However, as long as the adults are steady, at most they will lose both, and it is impossible to fail. Especially when Liu Xiu went deep into the enemy territory, it was Liu Xiu who should be worried. ”

After listening to this, Ai Jing weighed the stakes.

Sticking to Ai County, there is no hope of victory, but the army may be defeated.

Playing in battle, even if both sides lose, is a good thing.

In addition, Ai Jing's heart is even more eager to fight. He flicked his sleeves and ordered: "County lieutenant, you arrange for soldiers to prepare for action at the county office." County Cheng, you go in person and invite Tai Shici to the county office. ”

"No"

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant both had smiles on their faces.

The two also agreed that they would lose if they held for a long time, and they had to take the initiative to attack. After saluting Ai Jing, the two left in a hurry, busy with their own affairs
