Chapter 157
Half an hour later, Yan Zhu came hurriedly with four officials.

He was in a hurry, his face was calm, and there was no sign of guilt.However, seeing that Liang Xiao and Wei Qing were seriously injured, he didn't have any special concern, everything was normal.

Liang Xiao didn't get out of the car.He is now a seriously wounded person and can enjoy the treatment of a seriously wounded person without needing to salute Yan Zhu.

"Liang Xiao, what good strategy do you have for defeating the enemy?" Yan Zhu jumped out of the cart, walked to the bullock cart, glanced at Wei Qing, and finally set his eyes on Liang Xiao's face.

"My lord, after Captain Tian was attacked and killed, the loss is not small, right?"

Yan Zhu nodded and remained silent, but there was a bit of anxiety in his eyes.He was ordered to hold the Kuaiji Festival, not just to mediate, but to repel Minyue and show the dignity of the court, but now the situation is serious, and it is unknown whether he can hold Wu County, let alone drive Minyue out of Kuaiji County.

If not, how could he go out of the city to meet Liang Xiao in person, and only brought four officials with him.When Minyue almost looted all the villages around Wu County, it was undoubtedly very dangerous to go out of the city lightly.

"My lord Yan, Minyue already has a large number of people, but with my master and his Houyi camp, they are like a tiger with wings added to each other. I'm afraid it won't be able to do what we want with only one county in Kuaiji."

Yan Zhu blinked and didn't speak, but his eyes softened a little.When Liang Xiao said these words in front of Wei Qing, Qin Ge and others, he was actually explaining them to him.Even if the mission fails in the future, Wei Qing and Qin Ge will convey these words to the emperor's ears, which can relieve him of responsibility.

Liang Xiao is Liang Xiao, although he is also a warrior, but compared with Li Jiao and others, he is much smarter.

"If you want to defeat the enemy and win, you must first increase your troops."

"Where did the soldiers come from?"

"There are two ways. One is to recruit all the males. Now the Minyue people are looting everywhere, and the people are fighting bloody battles to protect their homeland. They are just guarding each mile, the troops are scattered, and they don't have enough weapons and equipment to play a role. .Gather them together, take the initiative to attack, and turn passivity into initiative.”

Yan Zhu nodded, and said again: "The plan is a good plan, but I'm afraid it's not enough. Especially the early losses of the weapons, armor and staff are too large, and the supply of the existing troops is already stretched, and it is difficult to supply the newly assembled soldiers. "

"My lord, besides this, there is another way. You can go to Jiangdu and Guangling to recruit soldiers."

"Recruit troops in Jiangdu and Guangling?" Yan Zhu was stunned for a moment, with a strange look in his eyes.

Liang Xiao smiled, and said again: "If possible, my lord might as well ask the court to issue an edict to call the King of Jiangdu to help out. The King of Jiangdu is extremely brave and has nearly ten thousand elite soldiers under his command. If he participates in the battle, the shortage of troops in Kuaiji can be greatly alleviated. The problem."

Yan Zhu rolled his eyes, and said hesitantly: "Jiangdu Wang Yong is brave, I'm afraid...it's not appropriate to send him to fight?"

Liang Xiao knew that Yan Zhu was moved, but he needed a better reason.He stayed in Jiangdu for so many days, and the king of Jiangdu accompanied him to banquets every day, most likely because he wanted to win a chance to send troops to join the war.Liu Fei is a standard militant, as long as he can fight, he is willing to do anything.

"My lord, isn't the imperial court entrusting the feudal princes and kings for the purpose of defending the imperial court? Now that there is chaos in the border counties, the conscripting of the Jiangdu king to quell the rebellion can reduce expenses for the imperial court. For the Jiangdu king, it is also a reward for the imperial court." Opportunity. The best of both worlds, why not do it?"

Yan Zhu was hesitant and in a dilemma.

Liang Xiao spoke clearly and logically, but pushed him into a dilemma.Liang Xiao is just an official, he can give suggestions, but he is not qualified to write a letter.Only he, Yan Zhu, can do the writing to the court.If it was done, Liang Xiao deserved credit, but if it couldn't be done, Liang Xiao was innocent.

However, he couldn't refuse outright. In front of so many officials, if he reprimanded Liang Xiao for talking nonsense, then the mission would fail in the future and the emperor would be angry. These people might pass Liang Xiao's suggestion to the emperor.At that time, what will the emperor think?
He might think that Liang Xiao's suggestion is really reasonable.

However, recruiting Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, to participate in the war is contrary to the established policy of the imperial court to suppress the princes and kings.Even if he succeeds, if he is asked about it in the future, Yan Zhu will not be able to absolve himself of the blame.The ministers of the imperial court don't care about the safety of Kuaiji County. For them, they would rather lose Kuaiji than let the king of Jiangdu sit on the throne.

This is a pit.Yan Zhu looked at Liang Xiao again, and while he was in a dilemma, he felt a chill in his heart.Is this kid too insidious to make such a suggestion?Do I listen to him or not?

"Let me think about it, is there any other way?"

"Yes." Liang Xiao saw Yan Zhu's eyes, but did not show his expression.Since Yan Zhu is willing to leave the city, it means that he is in a difficult situation and has no choice.Even if the idea he gave him was poisonous, he didn't dare to reject it easily.Even if Yan Zhu refused in the end, he had nothing to lose, so he could give Yan Yan a helping hand.Yan Zhu had benefited so much from Liu Fei, but refused to give him a chance. With Liu Fei's temper, it's no wonder he didn't have an idea.

"Say it quickly."

"Master Meng thinks highly of him and sent me to fight against my master Huan Yuan. However, I was seriously injured, and I am afraid I will not be able to serve you in the short term. Even if I recover from my injury, I am not my master's opponent. Looking at the world, it is impossible to fight against my master. Only General Lee was up against."

The corner of Yan Zhu's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Qin Ge.He knew that Qin Ge must have told Liang Xiao that he disrespected Li Guang and angered Li Jiao.In order to avoid becoming an enemy of Wei Yanglang, Liang Xiao cleaned himself up in front of everyone.As soon as these words came out, no one would say that Liang Xiao looked down on Li Guang, and he was the only one who looked down on Li Guang.

Sure enough, Wei Yanglang who was surrounded by the side immediately relaxed a lot after hearing Liang Xiao's words.

Liang Xiao paused for a moment, and then said: "However, we can use his own way to treat his body."

"What?" Yan Zhu didn't understand for a moment.

"We can form a team of cavalry to harass the Minyue people." Liang Xiao laughed, scanning the faces of the officials. "My lord, even though Minyue has millions of soldiers, who can surpass these athletes from the six counties when it comes to cavalry and shooting? As long as your lord arranges it properly, even if there are only ten cavalry, it can keep the people of Minyue awake at night and exhausted."

Yan Zhu blinked, Wei Qing understood before he could recover.He groaned, turned to look at Liang Xiao, surprised and delighted.

Then, Qin Ge also understood.

In order to protect Yan Zhu, Li Guang sent ten Lang officials, plus Qin Ge and Wei Qing, a total of 12 people.In Wangjiang Station, Huan Yuan shot one person to death.Li Jiao singled out Huan Yuan, but his whereabouts are unknown, there are still ten people left.

Although there are not many people, these people's riding and shooting abilities are outstanding.Once they were allowed to ride horses and wander around Wu County, it would undoubtedly be a big threat to the Minyue people who had no cavalry at all.

Ten cavalry, even in the face of three or five times as many pawns, can still maintain the initiative.Once they encounter single scouts or messengers, they have an absolute advantage and can completely turn Minyue generals into deaf and blind.If there is a chance, it would be great to rob the food road of the Minyue people again.

The Lang officials were suddenly full of fighting spirit and eager to try.An opportunity to do meritorious service suddenly appeared in front of them, and it was likely to bear the heavy responsibility of breaking the situation. If they were not excited, they would not be them.
