"Uncle Xun, are you really not going to leave with us?"
The team that Han Fu came to pick up had already arrived at the door of Han's house in Wuyang.
"Can I still walk?"
Xun Yu laughed sarcastically and sighed: "Go back and tell your father that I still have some things to deal with here. Please help me take care of my people."
"in addition......"
Xun Yu took out a brochure bag from his arms and handed it to Han Mao: "This is what I wrote to my brother Xun Chen. Please send someone to deliver it to him. He is now working as a counselor under Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai."
"OK."
Han Mao took the brocade bag and stuffed it into his arms: "What about your wife? Should we go to Jizhou together, or..."
Xun Yu knew what Han Mao meant, and waved his hand to interrupt on the spot: "She will go back to the Tang family temporarily to be with the princess. I won't bother you with this. You can go on your way in peace."
"In that case, my nephew will take his leave."
Han Mao solemnly saluted Xun Yu, then bowed to Liu Bian.
Looking at the slowly leaving team, Xun Yu said angrily: "Your Highness, you promised me that as long as things get settled here, you will let Xun Mou go free and leave at any time."
"certainly!"
Liu Bian nodded without hesitation: "But the premise is that you must help Gu protect this team and not be eaten by Dong Zhuo's troops."
Liu Bian spoke very naturally, without any pause, as if he really wanted to let Xun Yu leave.
But netizens in the live broadcast room understood its sinister intentions:
"Master Bian is so bad and coaxing people like this. Do your parents know?"
"Poor Xun Yu, did you just fall for the bait?"
"Haha, it's all in the bowl, can you still run away?"
"..."
Xun Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly and broke into a faint smile: "Don't worry, I have a plan in mind."
Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction: "Wang Zuo's talent is really great."
Xun Yu sighed: "I don't know when His Highness is going to take Xun to the military camp. I must get to know this team in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to help His Highness."
"Zhu Tong sent someone to reply yesterday. The team has arrived at the designated location and the food and grass have arrived safely. We can go there at any time."
"In that case, how about going to Qichen today?"
"It's my wish, but I dare not invite you."
After seeing off the Han family and Tang Qian, Liu Bian took Xun Yu straight to Ye County.
The outskirts of Ye County.
Yulin.
Zhang Liao Military Camp.
Central army, big tent.
Liu Bian sat upright, raised his eyes and looked down at Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, what do you think?"
Xun Yu pinched a strand of goatee under his chin and nodded slowly: "Well, it's indeed good, far beyond my expectation. General Wenyuan is rigorous in running the army and can be called a general. With this person here, Xun Yu will be even better."
I have confidence.”
"Then can you tell me your plan?"
Liu Bian didn't talk nonsense. He leaned forward slightly and asked, "Dong Zhuo's troops in Nanyang will probably be quite large. Once he captures this team, it will definitely be a disaster."
"That's right."
Xun Yu nodded with deep understanding: "Your Highness's concern is very correct. Once the whereabouts of this army and horse are exposed, it will be like meat to the Xiliang Xiaoqi, and they will inevitably die."
"I guess..."
Xun Yu pondered for a moment and said softly: "Your Highness did not rush to Nanyang County immediately because he was worried about the safety of this team, right?"
After all, Liu Bian already had a plan to attack Nanyang when he was in Luoyang, and he even predicted that Dong Zhuo would not give up. However, he did not abandon his team and rush to Nanyang at the first time. Instead, he wanted to take a detour to Lin County to seek
help.
After all!
It is precisely because we cherish this hard-won army.
Liu Bian nodded: "Yes, a lone man riding straight to Nanyang can indeed save a lot of trouble, but what about this army? You can't be so selfish and let them fend for themselves in Yingchuan."
Xun Yu bowed to Liu Bian and saluted: "Your Highness is kind and righteous, I admire you."
Liu Bian waved his hand and interrupted: "Wen Ruo, you'd better talk about your plan first, otherwise I won't be mentally stable."
"good!"
Xun Yu responded, then took out the map he had prepared in advance and spread it on Liu Bian's desk: "Your Highness, this is the remaining vein of Funiu Mountain, and the Great Wall of Chu extends from here to both sides."
"Look here..."
Xun Yu pointed to something that looked like a city: "This is Duyang County, and to the east is Zhuanguan. Most of Dong Zhuo's troops should be stationed here."
"That's right."
Liu Bian deeply agreed and nodded slowly.
This is the same as predicted by experts from the Military Advisor Alliance: "The passage from Yexian to Zhuanguan has the best road conditions and is suitable for the army to pass. Dong Zhuo is guarding this place to prevent our army from entering Nanyang."
"Your Highness is wise."
Xun Yu nodded and sighed: "According to what I learned recently, Dong Zhuo has closed the Great Wall of Chu, especially the Zhuanguan area, and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
"oh?"
Liu Bian frowned: "Is it true that no one is allowed to enter or exit?"
Xun Yu nodded: "Yes, no one is allowed to enter or exit, regardless of merchants, civilians, or the army. Han Mao once sent a caravan to Zhuanguan, wanting to enter Nanyang to sell some things, but he was ordered to turn back."
Hiss~~~
Liu Bian was shocked and gasped: "Is this happening?"
Xun Yu agreed: "This is indeed true. This proves that Dong Zhuo is very determined. He can even block His Highness outside Nanyang regardless of the public grievances, and then cooperate with the soldiers and horses of Zengguan to eliminate His Highness in one fell swoop."
"Damn it!"
Liu Bian cursed secretly, feeling terrified in his heart: "Does that guy still have a chance to enter Nanyang?"
Liu Bian was originally asking about the alliance of military advisors, but Xun Yu directly gave the answer: "Your Highness, rest assured, it is impossible for you to lead troops into Nanyang, but if you are just allowed to enter Nanyang, it will not be possible at all."
No problem."
"Look at this Great Wall line..."
Xun Yu's hand wandered around the map and said loudly: "From the remnants of Funiu Mountain to Wuguan Road, there are countless city gates of different sizes. The big cities are concentrated in various important roads, and the small cities are mostly distributed in high and dangerous places.
Hidden place.”
"Like here, here, and here."
Xun Yu pointed at seven or eight small city pass strongholds: "The soldiers and horses in these places can only be a team of people at best, or even only a few troops in some places. They mainly serve as a precaution. They burn smoke during the day and raise fire at night to signal the enemy's situation."
"His Highness can lead an elite force of a hundred people to raid these small city passes in dangerous places and send you into Nanyang. There will be no problem."
"I don't know about other places."
"but......"
Xun Yu took a deep breath and pointed to a certain point on the map: "I clearly remember that there is a pass here, called Benshang Pass. There are only a few soldiers and horses stationed there all year round. Moreover, the pass has been in disrepair for a long time and has long been ruined. It is difficult to conquer it.
It’s a piece of cake.”
Liu Bian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was greatly surprised.
Netizens in the live broadcast room were even more overjoyed and excited:
"Only the ruins of the Great Wall of Chu are left in modern times. There are still traces of the Dacheng Pass, but the Xiaocheng Pass is gone."
"That's right, so even the military advisor alliance cannot grasp it in such detail."
"I thought that an alliance of military advisors would be enough. I didn't expect that the indigenous people could also play a role."
"Xun Yu did a great job. He has achieved great success this time."
"This is the real Chu Great Wall!"
"Hurry up and save the screenshot!"
"..."
That's right.
The military-strategist alliance can determine the general trend and analyze the direction of events.
However, when it comes to specific details, the cooperation of the indigenous people is required.
Just like now, experts only know that the Great Wall of Chu can only stop the army, but cannot stop Liu Bian, but where is the best place to attack, they have some strength to spare.
After all, the mountains and rivers have undergone eighteen hundred years of changes, and may have long been different from modern times. It would be extremely unwise to blindly command battles based on modern relics.
Having a native as a military advisor can indeed make up for the shortcomings of the military advisor alliance.
Xun Yu continued: "Your Highness, as long as you pass Benshan Pass and walk along the river, you can go down the mountain. Then walk west for about two days and you will reach Pheasant County. Once you reach Pheasant County, you will reach Wan County. Your Highness He should be gone."
"Um."
Liu Bian nodded with interest, raised the corners of his lips and said, "Wen Ruo, you have made a great contribution. I will reward you well when I take Nanyang."
"Your Highness, there is no need to be polite."
Xun Yu hurriedly bowed his head and said softly: "After Your Highness enters Nanyang, I will lead my troops and horses to live in the mountains. There are too many bandits here. They survive by robbing caravans along the way. If you conquer one at will, your habitat will be there." Already."
"After we settle down, I will send people to Nanyang as appropriate to get in touch with you, His Highness, based on the strength of the defense at Zhuanguan."
Liu Bian was ecstatic in his heart: "Okay, this is very good!"
