CHAPTER XLVII

"Is there a waterfall? There should be water under the waterfall, right?"

When everyone was thinking hard about how to burn food, a young child's voice sounded, and everyone noticed Xu Ruoyu sitting in the corner of the hall.

"Yes, on a cliff on the inner side of the valley, with a small lake about a quarter of a mile in diameter below. ”

Although the identity of the teenager was not yet clear, Li Qiu still tried his best to explain it clearly.

Xu Ruoyu ignored everyone's strange eyes, stood up from the chair, paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, and suddenly said with a look of surprise: "I have thought of a solution to the problem!"

"What's the solution?"

Li Yuxuan, who had been tormented by this question for several days, couldn't help but be the first to ask.

"Divert water and seal the valley!"

Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, Xu Ruoyu explained, "It is to dig up the pond, lead the water in the pond to the mouth of the valley, form a semi-artificial 'moat' at the end of the valley, and then build an earthen dam behind it." Moreover, there is ready-made water and food in the valley, as long as a certain number of troops are guarding behind the earthen dam and using archers to block the enemy, with the narrow and curved terrain of the valley pass, it should not be a problem to hold it for ten days and half a month. This will not only cut off the enemy's supplies, but also leave those food behind!"

Xu Ruoyu glanced around with some triumph at the stunned generals in the hall.

"Hahahaha!"

Li Yuxuan was the first to laugh wildly, the problem that had tormented him for a few days was unexpectedly solved by the young man in front of him, and the irritability and depression in his heart were swept away.

But that's not all that is surprising, looking at Xu Ruoyu's appearance, he obviously has something else to say.

I saw him pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, looking like an old man, as if continuing his whimsy.

"Of course, this move can only remain undefeated, and cannot really achieve victory, if you want to achieve a complete victory, you can only take Bollinger Pass and cut off all the retreats of the Atterbury army, then it will be considered a real victory. ”

"What!"

"Take Bollinger Pass!"

"Oh my God!"

Everyone screamed in surprise, just surprised by Xu Ruoyu's trickery, but suddenly "overwhelmed" by his absurd and naΓ―ve words.

Only Li Yuxuan, the eighteen-year-old city lord, became extremely excited after hearing this.

"Little brother, with less than 10,000 people on our journey, how can we capture Bollinger Pass?" Li Qiu asked rhetorically.

"Didn't the Atbury Army also take Bollinger Pass? If they can do it, why can't we?"

"But at that time, Atterbury mobilized nearly 60,000 troops, and attacked day and night to take Bollinger Pass!"

Tang Xu obviously began to take an interest in the young man in front of him.

"That's a stupid method, how can a smart person use a stupid method?"

Xu Ruoyu pursed his lips, as if he was saying that Tang Xu's appearance just now was no different from an idiot, which made Tang Xu scratch his head, and he felt a little idiot.

"Is there any good way for you smart man?"

Li Yuxuan's expression now was completely a very relaxed expression, it seemed that Bollinger Pass was already in his hands, and the Atbury army had also been driven back to his hometown, did he really believe that Xu Ruoyu had a way to capture Bollinger Pass?

"Didn't this uncle just say that part of the grain and grass in Deno Town was supplied by Bulin Pass?" Xu Ruoyu pointed at Li Qiu.

"Uncle?"

Li Qiu looked at himself and felt a little funny, this group of adults would actually surround a child and ask about the way to attack the city and plunder the land and conquer the Quartet, and these adults are all great generals and heroes in the eyes of others.

"Then we will send people to pretend to be the food guards who return to the customs at night, find the machine to control the city gate, and then everyone will enter the city together.

Of course, if possible, take out the opponent's head, and it will be even better to end the fight faster. At that time, I'm afraid that if the commander-in-chief of the Atterbury Army farts bare-ass, he will do it!"

Everyone was shocked by the trickery of the young man in front of them, and at the same time, they were amused by his last childlike words.

The problems that had plagued the whole army for many days were solved one by one by the young man in front of him like a trick, and the whole situation suddenly became clear, and all those present had seen that the balance of victory had begun to tilt in favor of their side.

"Hehe, I said...... By the way, I haven't asked your name yet!"

Li Yuxuan was very excited at the moment, not for a shortcut to victory, but because he had found someone he had been looking for for a long time.

Now there is one such a person in his army who gives advice, but he didn't expect to be finally found by himself today. Although he is a little younger, it is undeniable that the young man in front of him is definitely a genius of strategy.

"My name is Xu Ruoyu, and Xu Shouyi, the guard of Bolin Pass, is my grandfather!"

Xu Ruoyu took a step forward, obviously proud of having a grandfather who was a general.

"Xu Ruoyu, if I appoint you as my guest, will you do it?"

Li Yuxuan's words immediately shocked everyone present.

Li Qiu and Tang Xu looked at Li Yuxuan with wide eyes, obviously not believing that these words would come from Li Yuxuan's mouth.

"Keqing, is it big, is there a bigger one?

"Okay, as long as you can help me repel Atterbury's army and unify the entire Luo Pingyuan, as long as you can come up with a set of practical policies for governing the country at that time, I will appoint you as the prime minister!"

December 8, 173 in the imperial calendar, night.

Suger, Sufu small building.

As usual, Li Yuxuan sat at the upper end of the long table. But what surprised all the participating generals was that Xu Ruoyu, who was only 16 years old, was the chief on the right, the first of all the generals.

After everyone sat down, Li Yuxuan coughed slightly, hoping to attract everyone's attention.

"From today on, Xu Ruoyu will be the guest secretary of our army, and if there are any dissenters among the generals, they can speak out now. ”

Su Mi stood up first: "Isn't it a mess to let such a yellow-haired boy be our guest?"

Li Yuxuan smiled slightly and motioned for Su Mi to sit down first.

"The plan I proposed below is from Xu Ruoyu alone, after I finish the whole plan, if the generals still have any opinions on the appointment of Keqing, they can come to me directly!"

After speaking, ignoring Su Mi, Li Fang and the others ignored the displeasure on their faces, and began to announce the plan on their own. Obviously, if you want to change the appointment of Keqing, you must first pass the pass of Li Yuxuan.

"At present, our army has 1,800 'Black Dragon Knights', 200 cavalry brought by General Dugu, 700 light cavalry, 1,200 hoplites, 500 hoplites, and finally 500 newly recruited infantry, with a total strength of 4,900. ”

Just as everyone was concentrating on listening to Li Yuxuan's upcoming order, Xu Ruoyu stood up with a roll of parchment, and Li Yuxuan also stopped his words in time.

"Li Yuxuan, Li Fang, and Tang Xu served as the commanders of the 'Black Dragon Knights', each leading six hundred 'Black Dragon Knights'. Xu Zhixin was the commander of another cavalry team, and the remaining 700 heavy cavalry were under his command, and Lang Zhong served as the deputy commander of this cavalry team. Li Yuyang was the commander of the light cavalry, and he had 700 light cavalry under his command. Sumi was the commander of the city defense of Suger, and he had 1,900 hoplites under his command. ”

The generals sitting around the long table look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what kind of medicine Li Yuxuan and this sixteen-year-old boy are selling in their gourds.

"The campaign was divided into three parts, each with its own duties. The first is Li Yuxuan's department, which is personally commanded by the city guard, whose task is to raid the enemy's food protection team, and then disguise himself as the Atbury army to deceive the city gate of Brin Pass, and the task of breaking through the city guard to kill his defending generals is the responsibility of Li's 'Night Without a Trace' team. The second is the Xu Zhixin Department, commanded by General Dugu, whose task is to raid the Tunliang Valley of Wright Town according to the original plan, hold on for about ten days, and make a feint to attack the enemy's commander's tent in Wright Town, attracting the enemy troops stationed at the mouth of the canyon to come to help, remember not to be greedy for merit, so as not to fall into a heavy siege. At that moment, the method of "diverting water and sealing the valley" was revealed, which made Li Fang and others who heard this method for the first time amazed.

"Finally, there is the Sumi Division, which is commanded by General Su, and I am the deputy commander, who is responsible for the defense of Suger. Okay, now there are still generals who don't understand, please stand up. ”

"How is it, do you have any comments on Keqing's plan?"

Li Yuxuan looked at Su Mi, who had opinions on the appointment of Keqing, Li Fang and other generals with a smile on his face, "Of course, those who have opinions on the appointment of Keqing can also stand up and speak." ”

Sumi stood up, scratched her head and said, "No opinion, no opinion!" Suddenly there was a burst of laughter.
