In the dead of night, Zhu Han stayed alone in his tent and read a book by light.
Xi Zhicai's words in the evening made him always on tenterhooks. Even now, he was yawning all the time. He was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, so he simply got up and read a book, which could just fill in the blanks he had in the military field.
Zhu Han can open a company and lead people, and he can lead even a team of thousands of people in a decent manner. But now that he has only brought 500 troops, he is exhausted mentally and physically. He has gone from being so majestic and comfortable in the past few days to what he is now.
Move forward numbly.
"Dianwei, are Boyun asleep?"
"My Lord just fell asleep, and now he's up and reading again!"
"Oh, then go and report it and say that I have something to discuss with him!"
"Okay!"
At this time, the sound of Xi Zhicai and Dian Wei talking was heard outside the tent.
"Okay, I heard everything, come in!"
Zhu Han put down the bamboo and said with a smile.
Then he saw Xi Zhicai walking in with a smile on his face, wearing a coat, followed by Dian Wei.
"Dian Wei! It's getting late, you go to bed first!"
Zhu Han ordered to Dian Wei.
"My lord is not asleep, Dian Wei dare not sleep!"
Dian Wei replied honestly.
"I tell you to go to bed, and you go to sleep. This is an order. Just let two soldiers stand guard outside the tent!"
Zhu Han was moved in his heart and said with feigning warmth and anger on his face.
"promise!"
Dian Wei did not dare to refute, so he quickly agreed and left.
"What a simple and honest man, he is more than capable of charging into battle, but if he leads an army alone, he will not be able to do the job. What a pity, what a pity!"
After Dian Wei left, Xi Zhicai shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, as if he felt pity for Dian Wei's martial arts.
"Everyone has his or her own strengths, which cannot be determined by the coffin. Although Dian Wei is not very smart, his advantage is that he is loyal and courageous. He will not change his mind easily once he sees something. In addition, he has outstanding martial arts skills, so he is a personal guard.
The best person to lead!”
After Zhu Han heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "You, just let him go!"
"Alas, although Zhang Liao is good at martial arts, he is too young and inexperienced to hold such a big job. This time he was out on the march and was full of loopholes. This shows that he still needs a few more years of training!"
Xi Zhicai sighed: "Guan Hai is just right, but he has read too little and only has a semi-understanding of the art of war. He still needs to strengthen his knowledge of the art of war."
"Haha, which one of us has experience? When we first attacked Taishan, we also used the tactic of catching the thief first to capture the king before we could win so easily! After all, our team is too young and lacks battlefield experience!
We will inevitably suffer losses after going to the battlefield. If we can fight a few battles before going to Youzhou! It might not be a bad thing for us!"
Zhu Han's eyes lit up. He seemed to have guessed what Xi Zhicai was thinking. He quickly looked at Xi Zhicai and saw Xi Zhicai smiling and nodding slightly towards him.
"Zhicai, have you already calculated that someone will attack the camp tonight?"
Zhu Han was startled and asked in a low voice.
"pretty close!"
Xi Zhicai analyzed: "Ji Chou is one of the few generals in the imperial court who is good at fighting. Otherwise, he would not have been appointed by Emperor Ling as the captain of Wuyuan Guards. How could such a person know that it is difficult to camp in such a dangerous place? Even if it is surrounded by
There are no enemies. As long as you are marching in the wild, even Boyun will subconsciously avoid such a place, right? Let alone a general who has commanded troops for many years? This is the experience engraved in the bones of every general. However, Ji Chou
But we just chose this place. There are mountains on two sides, a river on one side, and a slope on the last side. Our current situation is like the food in the pot, waiting for others to eat it!"
"No! No, no!"
Zhu Han had a puzzled look on his face. At first he thought Xi Zhicai's words were reasonable, but when he thought about it more carefully, he felt that it was unreasonable. He agreed at one moment and overturned his previous thoughts at the other, and kept talking to himself like crazy.
"What's wrong?"
Xi Zhicai asked with a smile.
"If Ji Chou joins forces with outsiders, as long as I find out, wouldn't his situation be in danger? If this old boy can reach such a big official, he must not be so stupid, right?"
Zhu Han explained: "Furthermore, in addition to Ji Chou's dozens of guards, there are a full 500 officers and soldiers in our camp. These people are my direct descendants, and their loyalty is still guaranteed. ! And the only one who has a grudge against me is Liu Hao. Although he is powerful, he doesn’t dare to besiege me so blatantly? The question is, who among the five hundred officers and soldiers in Changshan Kingdom can do it? Who has such an appetite to eat? Who dares to do such a thankless thing? Unless he is crazy!"
"Haha, it's just a few hundred lives! It doesn't matter in your eyes, Boyun!"
Xi Zhicai chuckled lightly, his eyes full of indifference, and then analyzed: "The benefits of the Drunk Immortal Brew alone are enough to make most people crazy about it! You are also someone who has experienced this pain! Why? There is no turning around! If you want to get rid of worries, sometimes you don’t need to do it yourself. The planners only need to give up some benefits. In Jizhou, there are many forces that will take risks for this! Let’s not talk about other things. , Just talking about the Black Mountain bandits in the Black Mountain, they dare! And they also have the strength to eat us."
"As for why Ji Chou did this, it is unknown. Judging from Ju Yi's behavior at that time, this person and Liu Hao should not be in the same group! But knowing people and faces but not hearts, we should still be on guard against some of his tricks. Well, maybe they are actually traveling together!"
"This old guy, who knows where he is from?"
Zhu Han gave a bitter laugh, then his eyes suddenly opened wide, and he exclaimed: "What? Black Mountain Bandit? Zhang Yan?"
Zhu Han still knew something about the famous Black Mountain Zhang Yan. After all, he was a being who could make the officers and soldiers helpless. When Emperor Ling was in power, he could not be wiped out. When Yuan Shao was in power, there was nothing he could do about him. If not Zhang Yan took the initiative to surrender, and it would be difficult for Boss Cao to capture them. If he hadn't heard Xi Zhicai's reminder, Zhu Han almost forgot that there was such a fierce man in Black Mountain.
"Zhang Yan? Isn't it Chu Yan?"
Xi Zhicai frowned and said, "When did Zhang Yan appear again?"
"Yes, yes, it's Chu Yan! It's Chu Yan!"
Zhu Han laughed quickly and replied: "I heard that Chu Yan is very powerful! Even the officers and soldiers are no match for them, so those of us who have never been on the battlefield are probably no match for them!" "
"Thieves are just thieves, even if they have a large number of people, they are still thieves. They will definitely not be as well-equipped and well-trained as us!"
Seeing that Zhu Han was a little scared, Xi Zhicai quickly cheered him up.
"This is the truth, but since people dare to be bandits, they must have seen blood and killed people! Most of us in the army have never seen blood! We usually shout slogans loudly, just for fear of encountering trouble. I'm having diarrhea! If a war breaks out, it will definitely affect morale! There might even be deserters!"
Zhu Han had a wry smile on his face. He didn't think fighting was a fun thing. Although he felt very happy when he killed Zhang San with his own hands, he felt uncomfortable in the following days. That incident has been bothering him for several months.
If Zhu Han hadn't been free and easy by nature, he might have suffered from depression because of this.
Now when he thinks of the scene at that time, Zhu Han can't help but get goosebumps. If it was a melee between hundreds of people, life and death, Zhu Han would never dare to imagine that kind of scene.
"Actually, this place seems to be in a desperate situation, but it is quite suitable for us to fight! Boyun, don't be timid before fighting! Let me analyze it for you."
Xi Zhicai raised a finger and said with a smile: "First, the terrain here is low and there is no way to retreat. It seems to be a desperate situation, but it also limits the direction of the enemy's attack. We only need to hold one side; second, we
Although there are many new soldiers in the army, there are many strong generals. Just one person from Dian Wei and Guan Hai can defeat the whole army and stabilize the morale of the army; thirdly, as long as the enemy appears, it means that Ji Chou has joined forces with outsiders, and we only need to
By following him, at least we can prevent the enemy from attacking fiercely; fourthly, no matter how desperate we are, we can hold on until dawn, right? Shady things will automatically dissipate as soon as dawn breaks; fifthly,
Desperate places can often boost the morale of soldiers, and with the support of strong generals, we can still fight even if we face several times the enemy."
Xi Zhicai would raise a finger every time he said something. It wasn't until he finished speaking that Zhu Han came back to his senses and tasted it carefully. He was once again shocked by Xi Zhicai's strategy.
"Lord, our scouts lurking outside the camp came to report that a group of people is coming down from Jingxing Mountain and heading towards our camp!"
At this time, Dian Wei broke into the camp and said urgently: "Because it was dark, the scouts could not determine how many people there were, but judging from the number of torches, there were thousands. According to their speed, they would be gone within a quarter of an hour."
We can make it outside our camp."
"Haha, it seems that you, Zhicai, got everything right. It's amazing!"
Zhu Han still retained some luck at first, but now it seems that Xi Zhicai is the real powerful person. He can infer so many things just from some clues and abnormal things. He only feels that he is getting more and more
The more I can't live without Xi Zhicai.
"I am Boyun's counselor, and I am supposed to advise you. This is my duty, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"
Xi Zhicai replied humbly.
"Dian Wei, send Zhang Liao and Guan Hai! Tell me that I have something important to discuss with you!"
Zhu Han rubbed his hands and said anxiously.
"promise!"
Dian Wei quickly agreed and left.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Han stood behind the gate of the inner camp, looking through the gap at the dark outer camp, waiting anxiously.
'I hope there won't be too many people, there won't be too many people!'
Zhu Han was talking to himself and looking outside from time to time.
"My lord, don't be afraid, I will be with you in everything! Dian Wei promises to kill them to pieces! I will protect you!"
Dian Wei patted his chest and said with a smile: "And my lord, it's not good for you to do this in front of your subordinates, isn't it?"
"Pfft!"
Xi Zhicai smiled when he heard this and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What a laugh! I am a civil servant, how can I compare with a military general?"
Zhu Han rolled his eyes and said angrily.
'kill!'
At this time, a loud shout suddenly came from the outer camp, and then the shouts of killing began to rise one after another, louder and louder. Zhu Han's brows jumped when he heard it, and he just held the sword tightly and stared at the movements of the outer camp.
