Chapter 388
Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Liu Yu frowned, sat on his seat and looked at Xue Rengui, and said, "You said that there are loopholes in Ju Yi's plan? Yan Liang's army will attack Zhuo County?"

"That's right, Yan Liang is reckless. Although Yuan Shao has flaws, he still has a little bit of knowledge and good use. Two days ago, General Yue Jin ambushed Yan Liang. Although he was shot by me and was furious, he still did not enter the ambush. There must have been counselors in the army who dissuaded him and advised him. Ju Yi's strategy is more than enough to target Yan Liang, but if there are wise men in his army, it will not work!" Xue Rengui nodded and analyzed the situation for Liu Yu.

"Tell me about it!" Liu Yu nodded after hearing Xue Rengui's words, and motioned Xue Rengui to continue.

"Yan Liang has more than twice as many soldiers as our army. If I encounter this situation, I will send people to guard the food and supplies, and move forward lightly, forcing General Le Jin to fight with the main force. Yan Liang has too many soldiers, and they move forward lightly. , the plan of harassment will naturally not work. Therefore, Yan Liang's army will definitely strengthen Yishui and target Zhuo County."

Liu Yu nodded and said: "If Yan Liang's army also marches lightly, then it is true that they can't stay in the wild for too long. If they are not careful, they will face off against Yan Liang's soldiers. They are outnumbered, and once they fight, it will be very bad. .”

"You don't have to worry, if Yan Liang's army marches lightly, General Le Jin is cautious and will not fight recklessly, and he will definitely rush back to Zhuo County to garrison!" Xue Rengui comforted.

"Well, I'm not worried about Wen Qian being cautious, but if Yan Liang's army besieged the city and besieged Zhuoxian County, then Fan Yang would definitely be robbed by them!" Liu Yu wondered.

Why do wars kill people?Not many people died in battle, but countless people died in war.When a war is launched, the army will attack the city and seize the land and rob the supplies from all over the country. Once Yan Liang's army surrounds Zhuo County, even if they don't attack the city, once they plunder the surrounding area, the people will not be able to survive without money and food. Soon the people who died because of the war will die. Countless.Youzhou's accumulation over the past few years will also be greatly damaged by this.

Jizhou is the largest state in the world, but after Cao Cao got Jizhou, the people were only a few hundred thousand, and the population consumption was ten percent.The people did not participate in the battle, but Jizhou supported Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to fight for several years. After years of battles, the people were implicated in the wars and could not survive, and the population dropped sharply because of this.

This is the greatest harm of war, and it is also what Liu Yu is most worried about.

"You said you have a strategy to defend against the enemy, let's hear it!" Liu Yu looked at Xue Rengui and said in a deep voice.

"If my lord can trust Xue, I can go out and kill Yan Liang when General Le Jin comes back. When Yan Liang dies, General Le Jin will go out to lead the army to fight, and Yuan Jun will be defeated! It's just that Ju Yi is not here now, it's only natural that my lord can't trust me. So there is only a middle way!"

Liu Yu's face was full of guilt, and he said helplessly: "You can understand my difficulties, and I am grateful. Your Majesty has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I can't be careless. If you are really a worthy minister of Yingmeng, wait until Yan Liang is repelled. After that, I will definitely apologize to you! By the way, what is the compromise you mentioned?"

"Please lend me a pen and paper!" Xue Rengui cupped his hands.

Liu Yu nodded, stood up from the table, took out the rice paper, and took out the brush to grind the ink.Xue Rengui stepped forward and began to write on rice paper.

Liu Yu stood aside and watched Xue Rengui's writing, but Liu Yu's brows became tighter and tighter for a moment. What Xue Rengui drew was the blueprint for building the camp.As a prince of one side, Liu Yu knew a thing or two about setting up a camp, but Xue Rengui's drawings were extremely complicated, and Liu Yu couldn't understand them.

But Liu Yu could also see the extraordinaryness of the drawings. Xue Rengui drew very seriously, and Liu Yu didn't rush to ask. The inkstone in the inkstone was exhausted, so Liu Yu grinded ink for him.

The drawings were extremely cumbersome, and Xue Rengui spent half an hour drawing to complete the drawing.After Xue Rengui finished drawing, he handed the blueprint to Liu Yudao: "Please look, my lord, this is the blueprint I drew for the camp!"

Liu Yu made blueprints. He looked at Xue Rengui's drawings before, but Liu Yu couldn't understand them and said in confusion: "Your drawings are very clever, but where is this camp located and what is the use of it?"

"If Yan Liang's soldiers and horses take Zhuo County directly, they will either attack the city or solve the surrounding people. The envoy can follow my blueprint and build camps outside the four sides of the city. Each camp can only hold 500 troops. There are soldiers and horses. Outside the city, relying on this camp can contain Yan Liang's army!" Xue Rengui said confidently.

"The camp built by relying on your blueprint really has this effect?" Liu Yuhu asked suspiciously.

"This camp mostly relies on bows and arrows to defend against the enemy, and it is the corner of the city. If Yan Liang's army splits up and attacks, there will be heavy casualties. If we concentrate our troops, our army can go out of the city from other gates and attack its rear!" Xue Rengui explained.

"Let me think about it!" Liu Yu waved his hand, feeling rather tangled in his heart.

He believed half of Xue Rengui, but his task was too heavy, what if Xue Rengui was a spy?If Zhuo County is lost, Youzhou will be over.Liu Yu also had to be cautious.

"My lord, it only takes one night to build this camp. My lord mobilizes the young and strong in the city to build it overnight. As for the timber resources needed to build the camp, there are countless resources in the city, and there is no shortage of bows and arrows needed to guard the camp! If your lord can't trust me, you can put me in a prison while building the big camp. Let the army build the camp on all sides first, prepare bows and arrows and other supplies, and if General Le Jin rushes back, he can decide whether to send troops The horses are stationed in the camp. If he thinks that the camp will be unfavorable to Youzhou, it will be harmless if it is set on fire!" Xue Rengui bowed down and begged.

After listening to Xue Rengui's words, Liu Yu nodded. Le Jin is a knowledgeable person, and he can tell whether the camp is useful or not at a glance.If it is useless, they are all made of wood anyway, and at worst they will be burned.

"I'll send someone to build the camp, but you..." Liu Yu looked at Xue Rengui.

"Your Excellency, you can put me and my brothers in prison and keep them under strict supervision!" Xue Rengui clasped his hands.

"Okay, come here, take them down, put them in a big prison, treat them well, and guard them closely!" Liu Yu waved his hand and asked Xue Rengui to be taken down.

After Xue Rengui was brought down, Liu Yu came to Tian Chou early. Tian Chou was not only proficient in government affairs, but also knew about military affairs. Tian Chou knew the blueprint better than Liu Yu.So Liu Yu wanted to listen to Tian Chou's opinion.

"Zitai, do you have any problems with this drawing?" After Tian Chou arrived, Liu Yu handed the drawing to Tian Chou.

When Tian Chou saw the blueprint, his eyes lit up, and he looked at it for a quarter of an hour, full of amazement.After a long time, he was pleasantly surprised: "Master, where did you get this blueprint?"

"Why, is there something wrong with this drawing?" Liu Yu asked with a serious face.

"No, no, the camp drawn in this blueprint is a camp at every step, relying on each other, that is, with two thousand soldiers and horses guarding ten thousand people, as long as there are enough weapons, it can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. The person who can draw this blueprint must be a master of military art. Who is the lord? Who offered this blueprint to the lord?" Tian Chou said pleasantly.

"Oh? It really has such power?" Liu Yu said in surprise.

"It will only be stronger. I can't understand some of the mysterious parts of this blueprint!" Tian Chou nodded affirmatively while holding the blueprint.

"It's like this..." Liu Yu hurriedly explained Xue Rengui's matter to Tian Chou.

"Oh, I didn't expect that Ying Meng Xianchen was in the army, and he was concealed by Ju Yi for a whole year!" Tian Chou said regretfully.

"You also think he is the real Xue Rengui?" Liu Yu asked in surprise.

Tian Chou nodded and said: "He was able to capture Gao Lan with martial arts, shot Yan Liang with two hundred steps, and he can draw such a suspenseful military camp blueprint in his chest, he must be a worthy minister of Ying Meng."

"In that case, I'm going to apologize to Xue Rengui and release him." While speaking, Liu Yu was about to rush towards the prison.

"Don't worry, my lord. Although it is very possible that this person is Ying Meng's virtuous minister, he has not confronted Ju Yi, so he should not be completely trusted. Second, Ju Yi may have thought of some way to quibble when he saw him run away, so we should Respond to all changes with the same!" Tian Chou hurriedly pulled Liu Yu to dissuade him.

"Forget it, let him be wronged for two days, and then the truth will come out, and I will make amends to him!" Liu Yu nodded.

"If it is true what Xue Rengui said, we should quickly gather people to build a camp outside the city as a precaution!"

"Okay, take this blueprint and quickly summon people to build a camp outside the city." Liu Yu waved his hand and asked Tian Chou to preside over the establishment of the camp.

Tian Chou took the blueprints and went out. In the past few days, thousands of county soldiers were called in the city.After beating gongs and drums, Tian Chou summoned more than ten thousand young and strong.He rode a horse and looked for a high and flat place outside the city, where he set up his camp.

At ten o'clock at noon on the second day, a camp stood not far from the four gates outside the city of Zhuo County.The camps are all built of wood, like a wooden city.The camp is used for defense, and a large number of arrow towers surround the camp. On the camp, it is like a city gate, allowing soldiers to stand and shoot arrows, and also to avoid enemy arrows.

This camp was built on a high place, so it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as there were only a few people and enough arrows, it was enough to resist the attacks of several times.

After the camp was built, the manpower retreated to Zhuo County, but the bows and arrows, equipment, water, and dry food needed for the camp had all been prepared in the city.As long as Le Jin's soldiers and horses come back, they need to use this camp, and they can enter the camp to garrison in half an hour.

However, Xue Rengui and others rushed back to Zhuo County that night and rode horses again, while Le Jin returned to the army in Zhuo County early in the morning of the second day, and he was an infantry army. He should go to the next morning after the camp was established. Only then rushed back to Zhuo County.

"Wen Qian, didn't you lead the army out to fight Yan Liang's army, why did you come back in only five days?" Liu Yu went out of the city to meet him, and asked Le Jin quickly.

"Yan Liang's soldiers and horses abandoned their grain, grass and supplies, and moved forward with only dry food. Their goal was Zhuo County. I couldn't delay, so I had to lead the army back and stationed in Zhuo County. By the way, envoy, who built the camp outside the city? I see that The camp is built on a high place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, you only need to send a few troops to garrison, if Yan Liang's troops arrive, you can use this camp to hold back Yan Liang's troops and prevent them from looting everywhere!" Le Looking at the camp not far outside the city, Jin asked in surprise.

Liu Yu explained Xue Rengui's matter in Le Jin's ear, and Le Jin listened to a row of palms and said: "As expected, Zhang Shigui has lived up to my expectations and found Xue Rengui!"

"Oh? Zhang Shigui was really sent by you to monitor Ju Yi?" Liu Yu frowned.

"That's right, Jin Yiwei once asked me to let me know that Xue Li might be Xue Rengui, so I took this opportunity and asked Zhang Shigui to monitor Ju Yi and find Xue Rengui!" Looking at the camp in the distance, Le Jin said casually Said.

"Jinyiwei..." Liu Yu murmured, as if thinking about it, his face darkened, then he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "General Yue Jin, since the camp is useful, you should send troops to station it. I'm all set!"

Hearing this, Le Jin said pleasantly: "Having Xue Rengui really helped me a lot. With several camps, and Zhuoxian City as horns, it is not impossible to completely hold back Yan Liang's army!"

Le Jin brought back [-] soldiers and horses, and Le Jin immediately distributed [-] soldiers and horses, [-] in each camp, stationed in the four camps.After that, he moved the prepared bows and arrows and water sources to each camp, just waiting for Yan Liang's army to come to Zhuo County.
