Chapter 40: Defense? The best defense is to attack [Seek to read]

With Huo Yi's decision to enter the south of the Yangtze River to wait for an opportunity to attack Jiangdong County's plan was revealed, this incident undoubtedly alarmed the Anhan general Mi Zhu and the lord Bo Liaohua in Xincheng.

When they heard this, their faces immediately changed, and they rushed to the old city to meet each other.

Hearing that the two of them were coming, Huo Yi rolled his eyes and looked at the clan brother next to him with a wry smile, "Brother, you told me about this, right?" ”

"Hehe~" Hawking smiled sideways, scratched his head and said, "Such a big thing has to be known to General Mi~"

"Hey~ brother didn't tell General Anhan, but they haven't figured out the wording for the time being, and now they must be anxious when they hear that I am going to take the initiative."

Huo Yi looked helpless.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think so much about my brother~"

Hawking replied with an embarrassed face.

"It's okay~" Seeing that the clan brother seemed to be faintly remorseful, Huo Yi smiled and waved his hand and said, "Anyway, sooner or later, I have to tell you that it doesn't matter, let's go and greet it." ”

"Good~"

As soon as the two brothers came over, they found that the two people who had been waiting under the city tower for a long time had a tight look on their faces.

"Yi to meet General An Han~"

"Brother Yuan Jian~"

"Shao Xian is exempt." Seeing this, Mi Zhu looked serious, waved his hand to signal that he was exempt from courtesy, and cut to the point quite squarely, "Ah Yi, I heard that you want to take the initiative?" ”

"Yes~" Huo Yi responded solemnly, and beckoned the two to lead the two of them to the attic of the city, and everyone talked softly while passing behind the soldiers defending the city.

"I want to come here, General Guan sent a major general to lead 20,000 sailors to go south by boat, but he was blocked, Jiangjin was intercepted by Wu General Jiang Qin, and the matter is already known."

"The intention of Wu's move is to continue to put pressure on the rear and make Gangneung fall into a situation of empty troops at all times."

"If the main force can't return for a long time, then the hearts of everyone in the city who want to join Jiangdong are shocked by the defeat of the Wu army before, and I am afraid that it will be activated again and provoked by Lu Meng to cause turmoil."

"Gangneung is the state capital, and that's it."

"Yi speculates that maybe the degree of infiltration of Wuling and Lingling County in Jiangnan will not be low."

"The stalemate of the current situation is not good for our side, and when the time comes, when Jiangdong Yin tempts the officials in Jingzhou, we will sit back and wait for death."

As soon as the words fell, everyone slowly walked into the attic.

Sitting down in the main order, Mi Zhu, who was at the top, heard these words and looked quite solemn for a while, and was silent.

"Is the situation really that serious now?"

Liao Hua's face on one side was tense and he asked.

"Brother Yuan Jian, Yi is definitely not alarmist!"

"It is imperative to take the initiative to attack, rather than trapping the city and passively defending the city, it is better to wait for the opportunity to break the situation."

After that, Huo Yi had a thick smile on his face, and said quite confidently: "But don't worry too much, almost all the main forces of the Wu army are gathered by the river to confront us." ”

"The land south of the Yangtze River is bound to be empty, and I am afraid that the Sun clan will definitely not be able to predict that they will dare to take the initiative to attack them when the defenders in the city are not sufficient."

"Youdao is the best defense is offense!"

A word was spitted out, Liao Hua heard it reasonably, after this recent day, Huo Yi defended the city, and he was already quite admired for it, and he was gradually persuaded at this time.

Mi Zhu's eyebrows tightened, and he thought about it for a long time.

"Can Huo Yuanjia take on the responsibility of guarding the old city after Shao Xian leaves?"

After a long while, he asked the prime minister with a solemn expression.

"I ......" Huo Jin was about to respond, but Huo Yi from the side waved his hand and suppressed it, and said secretly: "You said that his name is Huo Yuanjia and he can't hold it, be careful to send Lu Meng away with one punch~"

"Do you understand Hawking's brain + the gold content of Huo Yuanjia's martial arts!"

However, deep in his heart, he ridiculed and ridiculed, and on the surface, he was very affirmative: "Please ask General An Han to believe that Brother Yi will be able to help protect the safety of the old city." ”

The words fell, looking at Huo Yi's determined gaze, Mi Zhu thought for a while and expressed his belief and agreed, "Since Shao Xian is full of confidence, then so be it~"

"Thank you General Anhan for your trust."

Hearing that he agreed to his plan, Huo Yi smiled and thanked him with a fist.

After the discussion, Mi Zhu and Liao Hua also knew the importance of the new city, and they couldn't stay in the old city for too long, so they got up together to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Liao Hua's serious face seemed to flash with a hint of joy, and he arched his hand and said: "Hua Xian would like to congratulate Shao Xian again on his success, and disrupt the deployment of the Wu people who want to swallow the land of Jingzhou." ”

"Brother Yuan Jian, rest assured, it will definitely succeed~"

"After the deed is done, we will drink and talk together."

When the words fell, Huo Yi responded with confidence.

After everyone separated, under the urgency of time, Huo Yi also quickly gathered his troops to assemble on the military academy field and personally selected the elite to accompany him.

It took a long time to complete the selection.

There are more than 800 people in the Huo family, Huo Yi led more than 500 troops, and left 300 people for the clan brothers to defend the city.

Then hundreds of prisoners of war were selected from Cao Bing's prisoners of war, and none of the soldiers whose families were taken hostage in the north.

One has no family to worry about, and the other has promises.

In the past few days, Huo Yi's reputation among prisoners of war can be said to be quite good, so everyone believes him very much, as long as he can make meritorious deeds this time and wait for the Jiangnan counties to recapture, the land of the Jiangdong Hao clan will be distributed according to merit.

This undoubtedly makes the selected elite Cao Bing full of fighting spirit and high morale!

After the selection of thousands of people, Huo Yi arranged for each department to rest first and set off when the night was dark.

After all, there are still Wu spies outside the city, and the target is still too big during the day.

Although sooner or later it will be discovered, Huo Yi feels that it is very beneficial to the situation for a while to be able to hide from the Wu army in the big camp by the river.

Winter nights come early and are long.

In the climate with goose feather-like snowflakes floating in the sky above, Huo Yi wore soft armor at this time, and his troops in brocade mink robes and swords hung on their waists gathered at the city gate.

At the time of parting, Huo Yi solemnly held his brother's hands and stared at him tightly, "Brother, after my brother leaves, the defense of the old city will be entrusted to you." ”

"Ah Yi rest assured, the eldest husband has received a heavy responsibility, and he will rest until he dies!"

Unexpectedly, when Hawking heard this, he suddenly had a will to die and gave up his hand.

Huo Yi frowned when he heard this, "Why did my brother die?" Aside from this bad word? ”

"It's okay, there are self-organized village warriors and prisoners of war to defend the city, and it is difficult to break the city with the low morale of the current Wu soldiers who have been defeated in several battles."

"My brother promised my brother that as long as he could hold on for a month, there would be a turnaround!"

"Okay~ Then I'll wait for Ah Yi's good news."

After these words fell, Hawking also seemed to be encouraged by his words, and his expression unconsciously became a few points confident, so he responded quite passionately.

"Take care, brother!"

"Ah Yi too~"

After the two brothers said goodbye, Huo Yi led his troops out of the city and boarded a small boat to go west along the river, gradually disappearing into the night.
