Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 626 Gambling

"Fortify the walls and clear the fields, burn the city, forcefully relocate the people. Xiang Yu is not afraid of public grievances, is the rear unstable?"

When Liu De's army marched to Luzhou, they heard Xiang Yu's series of methods, and all the generals were a little horrified.

Du Ruhui stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Xiang Yu's rule over the people is already brutal, so how can he be afraid of people's grievances? What's more, Luzhou has no support from the people, like chicken ribs, it's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to discard it. Xiang Yu does this The poison scheme also makes sense!

Xiang Yu makes good use of Qingqi. This vicious trick can lengthen our food road and make it difficult to supply, trying to drag us down.So, Your Highness, we should not let Qi Jun lead us by the nose. "

"Tell me!"

Liu De flicked up his robe, sat down in the tent, and signaled Du Ruhui to continue.

Du Ruhui said again: "Although this plan is not good for our army, the Qi army is also self-defeating by [-]. Forced relocation of the people will inevitably cause the Qi army to be short of food and grass. If the people are not relieved, there will definitely be turmoil, and Xiang Yu's army will have some troubles." Half of them are soldiers from Huaizhou, and it is now winter, how can the soldiers from Huaizhou adapt to the cold winter in the north, Your Highness, it is better to bring the army back to the border and wait for the enemy to chaos itself."

Liu De thought for a moment, but said: "Now that the two generals Zhang and Huang have occupied the enemy's vital points, if our army withdraws, will the two generals Zhang and Huang withdraw? If we withdraw, we will give the enemy a great advantage." If they don't withdraw, the two generals Zhang and Huang will be alone in the enemy's territory, and the whole army is in danger of being wiped out.

But the army returned without success, and the loss of food and logistics in the rear is already incalculable. The soldiers went out alone, but failed to achieve an inch, which would inevitably lead to low morale, and when the people in the rear learned of this, rumors would spread. If someone with a heart takes advantage of it, the rear will be unstable.

The most important point is that the world has been in turmoil for nearly ten years, and I want to calm down this turbulent world as soon as possible, so that the people will not be displaced by war. Xiang Yu's military power is tyrannical, and he is the biggest enemy of Gu besides Li Yun. Eliminate Xiang Yu After that, there will be no more lonely opponents in the world.”

Du Ruhui immediately bowed: "It is really a blessing for all the people in the world to have His Highness here!"

"That being the case, let's discuss where Xiang Yu will attack us."

Liu De liked Du Ruhui's rainbow fart very much, but he still kept his face unchanged and continued to discuss military plans with the generals.

"General, what is your order?"

Liu Menglong asked Huang Zhong.

General Huang Zhong handed the order to Liu Menglong, and said to the other generals: "In the letter, most of Xiang Yu's soldiers and horses are concentrated in Luzhou, so His Highness ordered us to continue to march eastward, and cooperate with General Zhang Fei Zhang to completely wipe out Dongzhou."

Liu Menglong didn't think too much, but rather excitedly said: "In this case, let's follow His Highness's order and set off as soon as possible! After calming down a state, maybe I can also be conferred a title by His Highness."

Liu Rengui frowned and said, "Since Xiang Yu's army is in Luzhou, then Xiang Yu probably wants to surround His Highness in Luzhou, and we should go around to support His Highness. Why does Your Highness let us continue to pacify Dongzhou?"

"How could His Highness not know these things? What's more, there are Xun Shizhong and Du Shizhong by their side, so we can just follow the military orders!"

Liu Menglong retorted directly.

Huang Zhong quite agrees with what Liu Menglong said, "This old man is 51 years old this year, so he can be called an old man. Back then, my greatest hope was to keep my son Huang Xu alive. Fortunately, I met Your Highness. My son was rescued by Hua Shenhua. Although my son's body is still weak, there is no danger of his life, so the old man's old bones are handed over to His Highness, and he is sent by His Highness.

And the old man's current wish is to take advantage of the old man's ability to wield a big sword and draw a strong bow, follow His Highness behind, and calm this troubled world. Since His Highness has orders, why should there be doubts?Follow His Highness's orders! "

"Yes!"

The generals immediately bowed their hands and said yes.

When the generals came out of the big tent, Liu Rengui grabbed Liu Menglong's sleeve and said to him, "Menglong, come with me!"

"What's the matter, brother?"

Liu Menglong asked puzzledly.

However, Liu Rengui was angry, and said to Liu Menglong in a cold voice: "You said that we acted according to His Highness's orders. As a general, it is a sign of loyalty, but why did you mention the title of knighthood!"

Liu Menglong was a little puzzled, "Why can't you mention the title of knighthood? If you pacify Dongzhou, it should be a great achievement. Although you are only a partial general, if you make meritorious service, why can't you be knighted?"

"His Royal Highness treats all the officers and men leniently and strictly, but if there is meritorious service, is there any reason not to reward it?"

Liu Menglong was a little impatient, "Then what do you mean?"

"Just remember!"

Liu Rengui became more and more serious, "We are relatives of His Highness, and we have no choice. Let me ask you, before His Highness became Duke, could we be by His Highness' side as a clan?"

"No, but it wasn't"

Liu Rengui interrupted impatiently: "These are not reasons. In other people's eyes, our clans are investing one after another because His Highness has the capital to rule the world! Tell me, is there any grudge in Your Highness's heart?"

"This"

Liu Menglong was a little panicked.He figured it out a little bit.

"That's why we should be more cautious in our words and deeds. How can we ask His Highness for a title because of our merits!"

"Just remember this!"

Liu Rengui let out a long breath, "You must not say a word in the future, do you understand?"

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

Liu Menglong was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Okay, your highness must be clear about your virtues, so don't say more in the future, with your highness's mind, I won't embarrass you!"

Liu Rengui patted Liu Menglong on the shoulder, comforted him, and left to mobilize troops.

Liu Menglong was left standing alone in front of the tent for a long time.

Xiangtu lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he didn't know how many times he fell into a coma. When Xiangtu woke up, the window was already dim.

"Cough cough."

With the help of the maid, Xiang Tu reluctantly leaned against the headpost of the bed, and asked the generals in front of him, "What's the matter?"

All the generals looked at each other, and one of the generals came out and said, "Pindu lost the news that came two hours ago."

"Didn't the one you lost make Pindu be on guard?"

Xiang Tu looked ugly, but he still asked calmly.

The general replied cautiously: "The son of the county magistrate of Pindu was provoked by Zhang Fei and went out to fight in the city. Zhang Fei took advantage of the situation and captured him alive, so the magistrate of Pindu surrendered."

"waste!"

Xiang Tu gritted his teeth and scolded.

"General, what shall we do now?"

"Cui County, Pingdu are all lost, and Licheng has completely become an isolated city, but fortunately, as long as Licheng is still there, Zhang Fei will not dare to go south with confidence."

"Cough cough!"

Xiang Tu covered his mouth, and when he opened his palm, he found a bloodstain in his palm, which was extremely bright.

Xiang Tu clenched his palms tightly, looked at the generals who were full of fear and anxiety in their hearts, and thought: I don't have much time, if I die, Licheng will be lost, there are some things I didn't want to bet on at first, but now I can move , must take a gamble.
