Chapter 75: Making Plans and Suggestions
Inside the Chinese army's tent, when they saw Xu Kang walking in, Xian Yufu and Pei Yuanshao immediately stood up to greet him.
Xu Kang smiled and said: "We are all brothers, so you don't have to be polite. Let's sit down."
"Yes." The two of them took their seats respectfully.
After Xu Kang sat down at the main seat, he said, "Why did you two come to see me so early in the morning?"
The two looked at each other, and finally Xian Yufu said: "General Qi, the two of us have thought of a plan to make Goguryeo retreat, so we specially dedicated it to the general for his careful consideration."
"Oh." Xu Kang said in surprise: "What kind of strategy can make you two so enthusiastic? Please tell me."
Seeing Xu Kang's eager expression, the two of them were even more excited. Xian Yufu said: "We have decided to lead three thousand cavalry to raid the royal city of Goguryeo. If we can capture this city or even pose a threat to it, then Goguryeo is here.
The army will have to retreat."
"That's it." Xu Kang was a little disappointed after hearing this, and said clearly: "I haven't considered attacking the royal city of Goguryeo, but we know too little about Goguryeo's intelligence, and we know nothing about their defense situation.
A long-distance attack with 3,000 cavalry who are not good at attacking cities will easily fail without knowing the enemy. When the time comes and the army is under the fortified city, Goguryeo will send some troops to cut off our retreat. Our army may be defeated.
The danger of being flanked by people from both front and rear."
Pei Yuanshao said happily: "It doesn't matter. We have found the best guide. He knows everything about the situation in Goguryeo. We will just wait for your order."
"Who is so powerful?" Xu Kang was stunned, but he immediately understood and said, "Could it be Yao Hu?"
Xian Yufu said with sincere admiration: "Sir, you are indeed very powerful. You hit the right spot with just one guess. It was after yesterday's drinking that Yao Hu went to Brother Pei to inform him of his plan. Today, Brother Pei came to me again. I also felt that the plan was feasible, so I
I’m here to report to your lord.” After saying that, he handed over a pamphlet and said, “This is the strategy presented by Yao Hu, which contains the detailed defense situation in Goguryeo.”
Xu Kang flipped through it seemingly casually, and was quickly attracted by the detailed data. After reading the complete volume, Xu Kang already understood that if the data here were correct, then the surprise attack plan was very likely to succeed.
Xu Kang was also very excited. No wonder these two people were so enthusiastic, but nothing showed on his face. He just said: "Oh, why did Yao Hu find General Pei."
Xian Yufu made a thump in his heart, thinking that Xu Kang had misunderstood this matter, and hurriedly wanted to explain it to him. Unexpectedly, Pei Yuanshao was a man who couldn't hold back his words, and said loudly: "Brother Yao and I drank happily yesterday, so we decided to
He returned to my camp and continued to drink. Later, I heard him sighing and saying that he had a plan to defeat the thief.
But we couldn't use it, so I asked him why? He told me the plan. I heard that it made sense, so I went to Mr. Xianyu, and he thought it was good. So we went to the general, what did the general think?" After that,
He looked at Xu Kang expectantly. He didn't regard meeting Yao Hu as a big deal at all.
But don't forget that the Fengtian Army is still a thief, and Yao Hu is an official. The two sides are only cooperating temporarily. It is still unclear whether they will be enemies or friends in the future?
However, Xu Kang was delighted when he saw his straightforward appearance. He understood that this was a guy who looked at people more than things. If he liked someone, he would fall in love with him, regardless of whether the other person's death would bring him trouble. And this kind of person usually
He is also the most loyal person. As long as you treat him well, he will repay you with death. For such a subordinate, how could Xu Kang have the heart to criticize him harshly.
Xian Yufu didn't know this. After hearing what he said, he hurriedly said: "I feel that our army may be disadvantageous if it confronts Goguryeo's army for a long time, so I ordered General Pei to go and find out what he said. I don't want to get this wonderful idea."
Pei Yuanshao was dissatisfied and said: "It's obviously me who asked him to drink, so what does that have to do with you? Why do you need to compete for credit?"
"You idiot, don't you know I'm helping you?" Xian Yu Fuqi's face turned red and he wanted to punch him twice.
Xu Kang laughed loudly when he heard this: "You, can't you tell that they are trying to save you?"
"What kind of rescue?" Pei Yuanshao said blankly.
Xu Kang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, but it shows how much he cares for you. The harmony between your generals is exactly what he said: "The superiors and subordinates share the same desire, and we are always victorious." How can I be offended by this?"
Although Pei Yuanshao was still a little confused, he couldn't ask more questions, so he had to keep silent.
Xu Kang thought for a while and then ordered: "Go and bring Yao Hu to see me."
Xu Kang drove Pei Yuanshao out, leaving only Xian Yufu in the big tent to listen.
As soon as he saw Yao Hu coming in, Xu Kang immediately said angrily: "You are so bold, Yao Hu, do you know your guilt?"
Yao Hu was about to salute, but when he heard this, he raised his head blankly and said, "What crime are you talking about? I just arrived yesterday and drank a lot at night. After that, I lay drunk and just woke up. I don't know what crime I committed."
"You still dare to quibble." Xu Kang said angrily: "My Fengtian army came to help your father and son defend the city regardless of life and death. It was originally a matter of justice. Now you actually instigated our generals to attack the enemy. Do you want to see me two
Armies fight each other to reap the benefits."
Only then did Yao Hu realize that his strategy had worked. He was reassured and deliberately sneered: "General, I was angry because I offered you advice to General Pei. However, I was willing to mention this matter. It was General Pei's good intention.
Only then do I make it clear that since the general is so cowardly that he can just not carry out the execution, why should he blame me?"
"You don't have to provoke me." Xu Kangyi sneered: "You can only coax that idiot Pei Yuanshao with your words, how can you coax me? You deliberately took advantage of being drunk to say this, just to provoke Pei Yuanshao to me.
Do you want to give me a plan? Well, let alone that, let me ask you, if you have such a good plan, why don’t you use it yourselves, but give it to me.”
Yao Hu said: "Don't you think I don't want to use it? I came here with my father to guard it for several years. Seeing Goguryeo bullying my people, I want revenge every day. So I asked many people about Goguryeo's military situation, and then I made this plan. It's a pity that I, Xuan Tu,
The county is too weak to even defend itself, so it is impossible to draw an army for a surprise attack. Therefore, this plan can only be attached to the high cabinet. Now that I see that your soldiers are strong and strong, I am willing to use it. Unexpectedly,
But he was misunderstood by the general. This is also fate. But I, Yao Hu, can die alone. I only hope that the general can care about the safety of tens of thousands of people in Xuantu County and not break his promise."
Xu Kang heard these words, but he was not emotional and sneered: "How can you confuse me if you let your tongue tremble like a lotus flower? When my army attacks the royal city of Goguryeo, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it will definitely form an irresolvable mortal enemy. Even if it is just for the sake of face,
