Chapter Eighty-Three: A Good Strategy for Retreating from the Enemy

Su Xiu pursed his lips.

"So, I'll think about it for a moment tonight, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

With that, Su Xiu turned his head and left.

Tossing this day, the sky gradually darkened.

Wait for the sun to go down, and it's twilight.

Su Xiu led the horse back to Liangzhou Post Station alone.

Generally, foreign officials like Su Xiu all live in Liangzhou Post Station.

Unlike local officials who have a fixed residence.

This bitter cold land in Liangzhou is not as good as its own Yanzhou and Fengqi County.

Although this Fengqi County is a small border county, this Yanzhou is a continent in the south after all.

The climate is suitable, with four seasons throughout the year.

But this is not the case in Liangzhou, when it is the hottest time in summer, the temperature is only one or two degrees.

And now is the frost season, outside, it is good that there is no goose feather heavy snow.

In a few days, the outside of the house will be able to sprinkle water into ice.

The location of this Liangzhou capital is still far south in this Liangzhou.

If it is the northernmost part of Liangzhou, in winter, minus forty or fifty degrees is common.

In the early hours of the morning, Su Xiu sat in the center of the room.

Next to the stove, Su Xiu held a charcoal fire with a stove hook and covered his body with a blanket.

After covering the fire, lean back in your chair and close your eyes and pretend to sleep.

The angular side face highlights a heroic posture.

In the furnace, the reflection of the firelight of the furnace fire swayed on Su Xiu's face, looking like he was dancing.

On the way to Liangzhou, the people of Liangzhou were displaced and looked very pitiful.

Before this visit.

I heard all the way that the government and the opposition were telling how they were doing.

This time I really had a problem for myself.

The recent difficulties in Liangzhou are really far beyond Su Xiu's imagination.

The suffering of the common people, the seriousness of the banditry, and the corruption of the officials were all beyond his expectations.

And among these, it is better to say that this gang is now the most important thing.

Yesterday during the day, I listened to the meaning of Liangzhou's assassin history.

Portrait of himself and others relying on the power of Liangzhou to disintegrate Li Changfeng and others is tantamount to a fool's dream.

And General Liangzhou, who had high hopes, was still killed in battle.

Nowadays, Liangzhou, which has been through the wind and frost war, is employing people uprightly.

He has no soldiers at hand.

It's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

But Su Xiu understands that this time is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be reused.

But the premise is that someone must inform Emperor Chu of the situation in Liangzhou.

Otherwise, even if he quells the bandits in Liangzhou, the outside world doesn't know, and what he does is meaningless.

Thinking of this, Su Xiu got up and wrote a letter, preparing to give it to Yan tomorrow.

Let them deliver the letter to the father.

After all, the current Su Wenhai is also a powerful figure in this Great Chu Dynasty, a figure who stomps his feet and trembles.

Although it is not as noble as it once was, it is after all a person who once served as a zaifu.

Now he is the secretary of the Criminal Department, not only at his fingertips, but also vigorously and resolutely in government affairs.

The unjust, false and wrongly decided cases of the former Criminal Department Master Shang Shuzhong were all overturned by Su Wenhai and sentenced heavily.

The criminal department managed by Su Wenhai is out of the limelight in the capital.

Originally, the official department was subordinate to the head of the six ministries, and his status was precarious.

Now everyone in the DPRK is rumoring that Su Wenhai will return to the position of Zaifu.

Not even the left minister could stop the momentum of his return.

In this environment, Su Xiu understood that if he solved the matter perfectly.

Even if the father can't regain the position of Zaifu, he will definitely get some benefits.

In fact, Su Xiu has always had a thorn in his heart about his father being degraded because of himself

I always want to have a chance to compensate for this cheap old man.

Now it seems that this Liangzhou bandit trouble is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It's just that it is really difficult to deal with the bandits in Liangzhou.

Now he has only 100,000 cavalry.

It's not even more than 100,000.

This Liangzhou general can die unexpectedly.

This shows that the last battle must have been a hard battle.

There must have been a lot of loss in the number of soldiers.

The cavalry and infantry must have been attritional.

Otherwise, Gao Lang would not have come up with such a way to eat empty wages this week.

The current Liangzhou can only rely on itself.

That hard fight, the designation just can't work.

Only outwitted.

Su Xiu thought about it all night according to this line of thought.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The early morning in Liangzhou was exceptionally cold.

The windows of the house were covered with frost.

There is also a thick layer of snow on the pines and cypresses inside.

Su Xiu thought hard all night before he had a little idea.

But the premise of this is that you have to find someone who can control the army first.

If it is an ordinary cat or dog, it will definitely not work.

Zhou Gaolang in Zhao Prison is even more unbearable.

It's okay for him to bully and bully the people in the back.

If he really goes into battle, that person will slip faster than anyone else.

Su Xiu came to the gate of the Thorn Mansion early in the morning with his own thoughts.

Looking at Su Xiu, who was staring at the two dark circles under his eyes, Li Zhaolong understood.

This guy didn't sleep all night last night.

After a period of red tape, the two began to talk about official business.

Li Zhaolong, the assassin of Liangzhou, was the first to speak.

"Su Titi, did you come up with a good plan last night?"

Su Xiu spoke quickly.

"I don't dare to say that it is a good policy, but it should have some effect."

"First, at noon today, at least ten porridge factories were opened in Liangzhou City to reassure the people."

"Second, I need to know if there are any respectable generals in this Liangzhou City who can hold the scene."

"Third, I need to deploy 100,000 cavalry."

"These three things are indispensable."

Li Zhaolong listened to Su Xiu's three things.

The more I listened, the more my brows wrinkled.

The first two things are generally easy to do, but the third thing is full of difficulties.

First of all, without the Tiger Talisman, how can you command an army of 100,000?

Secondly, even if there is a tiger talisman and the mobilization of 100,000 troops, the amount of food and salary is not a small amount.

Don't underestimate these 100,000 cavalry.

One hundred thousand well-trained cavalry, with at least two horses and two logisticians.

Some strong Dubs will even be equipped with three or four horses.

Pulling the whole body, it is not a simple 100,000 horses.

Inside and out, there are at least 300,000 soldiers and people!

Right now; The displaced people in Liangzhou City gathered, and the people lived in fear.

How to get enough of those 200,000 people,

Even if you make up enough, if you can't pay the food, who will work for you?

At that time, it will be the cavalry that will be lost!

The whole Great Chu, only this; Liangzhou has this kind of cavalry in formation, in scale.

In the event of defeat, the neighboring country may even suddenly attack.

Liangzhou Thorn Shi was full of hesitation.

"Can you tell me what you want an army of 100,000?"

Su Xiu thought about it and said.

"There's nothing I can't say, I'm going to put all these 100,000 cavalry in the three counties of Collagen."

"Think it's a sleepy posture and create panic."

"Let the soldiers and civilians in these three counties live in fear all day long."

"After the siege of the city for more than a month, I will write another letter and sprinkle it all over the sky to disturb the hearts of the enemy."

"At that time, the collagen trio will be self-defeating."

After listening to Su Xiu's strategy, Liangzhou Assassin Shi lowered his head and pondered deeply.
