Chapter 275 What should I do if I lose three games before the game starts?

That night, after Xu Shu came back, he had time to wash his mother's feet for the first time.

It is a tender moment when mother and son reunite.

"Yuan Zhi," Xu Yuyu touched his shoulder earnestly, squinting her eyes to take a closer look. She had indeed not seen her son for many years.

"Mother."

Xu Shu raised his head and smiled, his beard twitching and his face wrinkled.

"You're getting older too. You're in your late thirties now. You should be a few years older than the rider."

"Not bad," Xu Shu said with relief and lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed when he thought about it. Although he was a few years older, compared with Xu Zhen's appearance, he looked much older.

They are not of the same age at all. I feel like Xu Zhen is more like a younger brother, and he is like an elder brother.

He has been in the army for ten years, but he can still maintain such good health and maintain his appearance. Is it true that he is an immortal who descended to the earth and studied the mystical skills of yin and yang in his daily life?

Oh……

Xu Shu smiled bitterly to himself, how could it be possible?

"I always feel like there are other uses."

"The world is in chaos and the people are scattered. Only by relying on these princes can we survive. Isn't that the case for Uncle Liu Huang in Xinye?"

"Here."

"Oh, I'm Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming."

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Baihe can store water, and Bowang can burn fire."

"Okay, okay," Xu's mother took his hand and let Xu Shu help her to lie down on the bed. She also asked: "When you see me, you must be respectful and kneel down. You can't do anything the rider says."

Disobedience."

My mother felt like she was being bewitched, even though I was her biological son.

Zhuge Liang held his hands down, bowed slightly, and continued with a smile on his face: "Can you tell Cao Ren, Xu Huang, and General Yu Jin to march away with a large army when they enter the mountains, leaving soldiers and horses to explore the mountain roads for ambush along the way, and go to Baihe to occupy the riverside fortresses first?"

Dao, beware of the overflow of the Tun River. If you are attacked by the water, it will be difficult to cross the river."

They themselves felt that there was no pressure to defeat Liu Bei. After all, when the white horse encircled them, Xia Houyuan asked his brother to fight Liu Bei's three brothers alone, plus Gao Lan and Ju Yi. He was able to hold the white horse and not fall behind, allowing Bowen to attack the Jizhou city from the eastern flank.

The void in the situation.

At the same time, the garrison on Funiu Mountain was also killed. These people were Zhang Fei's vanguard camp. They were all quite brave elites. They were forced out of the camp by Yu Jin using a night raid strategy, and then he ambushed and attacked both sides.

army.

These four places are very easy to ambush, especially Bowang Slope, where the grass is very long and luxuriant. Because it has not been taken care of for many years, the vegetation is so luxuriant that there is only one trail for the army to pass through, through the weeds on both sides of the trail.

Naturally very high.

The only person she mentioned was someone you knew without asking.

Xu's mother had also heard that Liu Bei was also a good man who cared about the country and the people and took matters into his own hands.

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Xu Shu felt that his energy and blood were rising again, but he did not dare to be impatient. After all, the rider was very kind to my family. Even his mother loved him so much that she could not even say a bad word about him.

"Both the terrain of these two places can be used to kill tens of thousands of troops with the help of the mighty power of heaven and earth. Yinshan and Funiu Mountain are places where ambushes are based, but they cannot enter the battlefield immediately. Most of them are to support or threaten, so it cannot be counted.

The important places are nothing more than these two places."

"Yes, I understand, mother."

Xu Shu bowed his head and accepted the instruction. His mother was also a strong person, and she had a rough understanding of etiquette and writing.

"That's natural, I don't need you to give me advice," Xu Zhen smiled and nodded, "Besides, tell me, Xu Zhen, what's the matter with the Cao family? Just tell me, and I'll give you some advice."

If an ambush cannot play a big role, it is equivalent to failure, not to mention that Cao Ren almost rushed up the mountain road with his men to kill the ambush, as if he knew there was someone inside.

It would probably take several years for the weeds to grow back, and Jingzhou would have already been captured by then.

Xu Shuzi explained the city defense in detail. Outside Xinye, troops could be stationed along the Baihe River, and troops could be ambushed along Bowangpo. There were Funiu Mountain and Yinshan Mountain around it.

And the fast horse galloped out tonight, informing Cao Ren in detail about the situation around Xinye.

"This is..." Xu Shu had a strange look in his eyes. After all, the Confucian scholar who spoke seemed to be of a lower rank than the old gentleman. He should be a junior.

But he spoke very confidently, and he had never been to Xinye before. Just by relying on these few words, he could understand the importance of the terrain and be well versed in the art of war.

Liu Bei laid down a thousand archers and escaped with less than 200.

"Humph," Cao Ren sat upright on the simple couch and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Have a rest for a while, and then move on after cooking and living."

Xu Huang smiled bitterly and said: "The general feels that the practice of chariot riding is almost cruel to oneself, and ordinary people cannot easily learn it."

"Son, my mother owes their kindness to them so I can see you. I can't repay this kindness. I can only rely on you."

This was one of the eight strong generals who had been with Lu Bu for many years. He was a well-known general. The trapped camp was famous in the hinterland of Chang'an. He also followed Lu Bu across the Central Plains to Xu, where he fought hard and became famous.

I just saved these.

The riders did not sleep either.

"Be lively."

He quickly bowed bitterly and walked out of the door, then breathed a sigh of relief.

If Liu Bei led hundreds of thousands of troops, he would probably be so confused that a fire could burn them out.

Jia Xu bowed his hands and said yes, showing a kind and kind smile, "Cheqi said that Mr. is very talented and knowledgeable, and he is well versed in the art of war and internal affairs. I saw him today. He is indeed worthy of the name. He knows most of the terrain of Xinye. If he hadn't recalled Mr. in advance,

I'm afraid General Cao Ren will be defeated."

And he is not only proficient in academic theory, I am afraid he has actually prepared troops and formations.

shameless.

So, they marched slowly for seven days, and they were indeed ambushed by Liu Bei's army in Funiu Mountain. However, the number was small, and everyone suffered casualties after the battle. The ambush had almost no effect, and they were chased all over the mountains and plains.

Of course, if the force is too strong, you may not be able to withstand it.

It seems that he has grasped something key, but he still can't figure out why all these important ministers are here when he originally only planned to come to see Chaoqiu.

"How could this happen? Defeated one after another? Heavy losses?!" Liu Bei rushed to the military camp and was shocked when he heard Guan Yu's report.

Xinye City has been built high over the years. It is not a high-walled city, but the fortifications are extremely well built. There are sixteen horse faces and the gate is as thick as a foot.

"He doesn't like to talk, but he is very observant and has hidden agendas in his heart, so he always remembers that he is unfair to the rider."

After the army regrouped, they had a smooth journey. They won several battles at checkpoints and camps along the way without any fighting, which boosted the morale of Cao Ren's troops.

After hearing about the city defense layout and the civil and military personnel under Liu Bei's command, the person worth noting is the fierce general Chen Dao.

It was late at night, and Xu Shu couldn't sleep. He left the school office and went all the way to Xu Zhen's residence, which was not too far away in the inner city.

She is different from ordinary peasant women, and since she and Guo Fengxiao have been dependent on each other for many years, she will definitely be nurtured.

But even though they are good people, they still fight on their own.

Everyone felt dizzy. It was really not easy to save such a small fortune. Over the years, I had worked hard in Xinye, and I shamelessly often asked Liu Jingsheng for soldiers and food.

Xu Huang discovered where the troops were stationed and encircled them in the rear, cutting off the road. The casualties were heavy.

"Cheqi is truly a good person."

Cao Ren smiled and sighed in the military tent, "I now understand why Bowen always worked tirelessly during the march and repeatedly patrolled the camps without fear or irritation. It turned out that there was great wisdom in it."

So after the announcement, Xu Zhen came to wait in the main hall, asked someone to make a pot of tea, and waited for Xu Shu to come in with Dian Wei, Zhuge Liang, and Jia Xu.

"Oh, don't you dare..." Beads of sweat fell on Xu Shu's forehead. He always felt something was wrong at this moment.

Xu Shu handed over his hand and went home with complicated emotions. He vaguely felt that it was not that simple. This matter might involve a lot more. Although he had guesses in his heart, he was not sure.

Every time a stratagem is used, the enemy will have no room for maneuver, and most of the time it is a strategy to kill them all.

…

Xu Shu nodded helplessly.

It was because of Qin Shihuang's pursuit of immortality and good looks that he finally became angry and resentful. This charioteer should not be like that.

Dozens of archer platforms were built on top of the city wall, and there were also soft tents to prevent catapults from climbing over the top, which could prevent catapults from falling to a certain extent.

"If you are really talented and knowledgeable, help Chai Qi. Don't be like that treacherous villain in Jingzhou who deceives Chai Qi into thinking that Chai Qi is some money-grubbing and lustful person. He is really a hero who has saved tens of millions of people."

Jia Xu chuckled and said: "If you encounter obstacles, just prevent the fire and burn them first."

"Well, thank you Yuan Zhi," Xu Zhen laughed happily, "With this information, brother Zixiao on the front line should be able to make meritorious service."

We met along the way, and it was said that he was the same person. If Xu Zhen wasn't really extremely charming, how could he have allowed such a person with firm ambitions and no official duties to follow him and work hard for him.

Xu Zhen nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, feeling that it made sense, but also felt that this person was really cruel. From the time he came in until now, he sat in the chief position and didn't say a word, but he was so cruel whenever he spoke.

"The important thing is that when marching to Bowang Slope, if something unusual happens, you must not pursue it and go deep into the weeds and reeds to avoid being attacked by fire. In the words of Mr. Yuan Zhi, the weeds have grown for ten years without being taken care of.

If the fire breaks out, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will lose their armor."
