The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Ignoring Sun Ce's thoughts, Xi Yu smiled to himself.

"Is this something you didn't expect?"

"That's right, we really didn't expect this!"

The two brothers had awkward smiles on their faces.

"Let's go back and have a look later. If Huang Xu comes back, we can proceed to the next step. There is no need to worry about Baiqi's ability to handle affairs. What I want most now is the situation of Jingzhou's defense!"

Xi Yu didn't hide what was in his heart, and talked about his plan as if no one else was there.

Referring to the mechanism of the Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen the rule at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang specially set up Jinyiwei.

And today's Xi Yu also referred to the system at that time. Since the situation in Qingxu and Xuzhou was relatively stable, he secretly set up an organization roughly equivalent to Jinyiwei.

Its network of various talents has quietly created a group of secret guards who obey its orders, and these people have many years of operational experience.

And the commander of these people is Guo Fengxiao, it is no problem to rule these people with his ability, coupled with his quick wit and quick thinking, he always has some unexpected ideas, and he is quite good at manpower arrangements.

Since the establishment of this mechanism, Xi Yu has almost completely grasped the various situations of Qingxu and Xuzhou.

"I said, I always feel that someone is revealing our plan to the outside world. Now it seems that I really didn't think carefully!"

At this time, Sun Ce finally understood where he had lost all these years.

He has also made achievements in business, and the shopkeeper Xu Yin also has friendship, so he naturally understands the reason for this.

"It's no wonder you know all about the business conditions in the south. Now it seems that it's not unreasonable for you to get so much wealth."

Sun Ce's appreciation for Xi Yu was not polite, but nodded slightly.

"The reason why I tell you this is just to let you understand that you must think carefully before doing anything in the future, but you can rest assured that since we are now an alliance, I will naturally not attack you."

"On the contrary, if you are in danger in Jiangdong, you can just tell me, and I will do my best."

Logically speaking, Xi Yu's remarks were undoubtedly a reassurance for the two Sun brothers, but at this time the two were not happy at all.

After looking at each other, both sides seemed to see the worry in the other's heart.

Although what Xi Yu said was not harmful to them, the feeling of being choked by others made them extremely uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do.

"Now that I've told you all my details, I hope you can keep your mouth shut. If the news of the existence of the hidden guards gets out, it's hard to guarantee that others won't know about it, especially to guard against Liu Bei and Cao Pi."

The reason why Xi Yu said this was not because he was really afraid that the fact of the existence of the hidden guard would be leaked out.

In fact, even if it is known, there is nothing wrong with it.

After working so hard for so many years, these people are extremely secretive, and trying to uproot them is tantamount to fantasy.

What's more, the people he selected are all very skilled, even if they meet Xu Chu and others, they can guarantee to escape unscathed.

The more he knew, the more Sun Ce sighed in his heart. I am afraid that since Cao Cao's death, no one in the world can surpass Xi Yu in strategy.

Walking while talking, after a while, a group of people came to the place where the black cavalry was stationed.

It happened that Huang Xu and Sa Beifeng were also here, but judging from their appearance, they seemed to have just returned, and they hadn't had time to report to Xi Yu.

In the blink of an eye, several people came to the school field.

I saw that the black riders were divided into two rows, east and west, and practiced separately. The boxing techniques practiced on the west side were extremely masculine, while on the east side, they were completely different. Tai Chi was as gentle as water.

Seeing this training method, Sun Ce was quite shocked. He wanted to ask a few times, but he swallowed the words abruptly.

Seeing Xi Yu's arrival, Huang Xu hurriedly greeted them, and after taking them into the tent, he couldn't wait to take out the fruits of his time.

In addition to a large and clearly marked map, there are dozens of detailed small maps.

What surprised a few people even more was that the map not only clearly marked the places where Jingzhou soldiers were stationed and their distribution, but even gave out countermeasures. Looking around, a map is densely packed with markings. .

Even Zhou Yu was shocked. It was the first time he saw such a beautiful homework on the map, and he could watch it at such a close distance.

"Xi Gong, I have to say that the abilities of these people under your command are really extraordinary."

Xi Yu nodded and smiled at Zhou Yu's appreciation.

"In fact, what you see now is not the final strategy. Next, we will make detailed arrangements and arrangements for the white cavalry, and you can also see how the white cavalry can be used."

While talking, Xi Yu looked at Huang Xu who was standing beside him.

"I should have a say in this!"

Huang Xu's face was full of excitement, after all, this trip brought back valuable information.

"Generally speaking, our previous evaluation of Liu Xuande seems to be a bit too high. Now it seems that his soldiers are not indestructible. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they are suspicious soldiers."

"If the news that we came to Jiangdong has already been leaked, I think this is probably a trap set by Liu Xuande. We still need to test it out!"

Huang Xu pointed out a location on the map.

"I can almost conclude that there is an ambush here in Huangpi. There are about 1 soldiers and some food and grass. I think it is to lure the enemy to encircle and suppress, but if they really go, they will undoubtedly fall into the trap of the opponent."

As soon as he uttered these words, Sun Quan and Sun Ce were at a loss. How could he know so clearly? It was as if he had visited the scene in person. Could it be that he could figure it out?
Curious, the two Sun brothers looked forward to Huang Xu's next answer.

"How do you see that there is something wrong with this? The arrangement of soldiers and horses is indeed a bit unreasonable, but it seems a bit far-fetched to say that it is an ambush."

After all, Sun Ce couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, and asked such words with a frown.

The reason why he has such concerns is mainly because Sun Ce has suffered too much from this.

In front of coach Qing Xu, he really didn't dare to talk about any topic of ambush, if not, he would not have given up this foot.

Huang Xu seemed to have thought that the other party would ask such a question a long time ago, so he got up and went to the side of the sand table, and quickly put out the local topographic map under the gaze of everyone.

"Look, if you want to set up an ambush here, it is no problem to place 1000 people."

"As far as I know, there are four or five places like this. In this way, 5000 people can be placed."

"I believe everyone knows that the cavalry in Liu Xuande's camp is apparently under the command of Zhang Fei, but few people know that they are actually commanded by Liu Xuande himself. After all, Zhang Fei is just a reckless person and does not have perfect skills commanding ability."

"Look at the terrain here. Although the mountains and rivers here are complex, it would take a lot of effort to open up the battlefield here. I would like to ask everyone present, if you arrange troops and horses here, what kind of tactics will you choose?"

"Using the big soldiers as bait to lure the enemy here, and then encircle and wipe them out, this is undoubtedly the safest way."

"In addition, Xu Yin is not just a businessman!"

Speaking of this, Huang Xu glanced at Xi Yu imperceptibly, as if asking for his opinion.

"It's okay, just talk about it if you have anything to say, finish it early and start dinner early, I'm already hungry!"

Hearing what he said, Huang Xudun was helpless. He was able to behave so calmly on such an occasion, and I am afraid that there would never be another person except Xi Yu.

Even more helpless are Sun Quan and Sun Ce, are you hungry?It's not long after eating, why are you hungry again?
Before he had time to speak too much, Huang Xu stared at the sand table again without hesitation.

"If that's the case, I won't repeat myself. Xu Yin knows exactly how much food and grass Liu Xuande has, so judging from the food and grass deployed here, it is definitely an ambush."

"And our coping strategy is also very simple. We only need to send two groups of cavalry. The first wave of cavalry does not need too many. Two to 3000 people are enough to go to test it out. The remaining five to 6000 people only need to attack from a distance with bows and arrows. .”

"Luring the enemy out in this way, and then ordering a large number of troops to surround and kill them, is enough!"

"dinner's ready!"

This time, Huang Xu didn't pause at all, so that Sun Quan and Sun Ce could not hear it, but Zhou Gongjin, who was on the side, seemed to understand what Huang Xu wanted to express, and his face was full of thoughtfulness. .

"Is this even possible?"

Because it was not long after eating, and the Sun brothers still needed to digest what Huang Xu said, they could only approach Zhou Gongjin with doubts.

"In my opinion, there is no problem, and this method is most suitable for sneak attacks, and it is most suitable at night. We know the plan in advance, and the soldiers have enough rest time, but they are different. The mobilization of soldiers and horses at night is natural. If we are not as good as us, we will seize the opportunity.”

"However, I have a bit of concern. After killing the ambush here, we must mobilize a large number of troops in the future. This matter must not be hidden. If Liu Xuande detects it in advance, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it. The difficulty is that there are not so many warships in Jian'an."

In Zhou Gongjin's view, there seems to be no suitable solution to this situation.

But after hearing his words, Huang Xu on the side showed a smug smile.

"Could it be that you forgot that we still have Taxing?"

"I've heard that Zhou Gongjin is a master at commanding the navy, how about I hand over the star to you this time?"

Faced with this sudden good thing, Zhou Gongjin was at a loss for a while.

"give me?"

After all, he is just a surrendered general in front of Xi Yu, and his reputation and prestige in Xi Yu's camp is much worse than that of Huang Xu.

"Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

Seeing the half-smile expression on Huang Xu's face, Zhou Gongjin became more and more uncertain.

"Is there something wrong? Leaving aside, there is no need to be suspicious of someone who is suspicious. I am afraid that only Gongjin's talent will never find another one in Jiangdong. Wisdom and bravery do my part!"

Listening to Huang Xu's words, Xi Yu remained silent from the beginning to the end, which obviously represented his own opinion.

In an instant, Zhou Gongjin felt a little overwhelmed. He never expected that Xi Yu would have such high admiration for him.

"My lord, I..."

Zhou Gongjin seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Xi Yu directly reaching out.

"Don't talk to me about those polite words, you just need to play to your heart's content!"

The reason for making such a decision is that there are very few people in the Jiangdong area who can use it. When it comes to fighting, the brave man besides Sun Ce must be Zhou Gongjin.

Moreover, Zhou Gongjin also made unique achievements in resourcefulness.

After throwing down such words, Xi Yu went to eat without looking back, while Huang Xu, who was on the side, wanted to follow, but was grabbed by Zhou Gongjin.

"You can't go!"

This made Huang Xu a little confused.

"I just came back not long ago. To be honest, I haven't eaten yet. I'm so hungry that I can't do it!"

Huang Xu had a wry smile on his face.

"Don't worry, when we finish discussing this matter, I'll personally throw a banquet for you to clean up the dust, and let's have a long talk and have a good time!"

Perhaps because of the emptiness in his stomach, Huang Xu agreed very happily.

Seeing this scene, Xi Yu couldn't help speeding up her pace, for fear that Zhou Gongjin would pull herself back.

On the other side, the land of Jingzhou in Jiangxia.

Sun Qian is in charge of all matters in the barracks, and now Xing Daorong, the brave general of Jingzhou, also has a place in the army.

At this moment, Zhang Fei and Zhang Fei are in ambush here.

This Xing Daorong is holding a Xuanhua axe, and he has made a lot of contributions, so he is respected in the Lingling area.

But this time, he and Zhang Fei lay in ambush here for many days, and until now there is no result.

As early as more than ten days ago, Liu Xuande had received the news that Xi Yu was going to Jiangdong to marry Sun Shangxiang. The moment he got the news, Liu Xuande almost fainted out of breath.

Originally, Sun Shangxiang himself planned to win back and consolidate the Sun-Liu alliance.

But it has been a long time since I sent out my letter, and instead of getting a response from the other party, I heard about Xi Yu and Sun Shangxiang's marriage, which made Liu Xuande feel ashamed for a while.

If he had known this, he would not have sent someone to send that letter. Now it seems that he can only bring shame on himself.

After discussing with his military advisor Xu Yuanzhi, he could only quickly come to a conclusion.

The purpose of Xi Yu's trip is probably the same as his own plan, and he wants to achieve the goal of union between the two parties through marriage with Sun Shangxiang.

If Xi Yu from the land of Qingxu in the north is allied with the Jiangdong Sun family, the next plan is very likely to use troops against Jingzhou.

This also led Liu Xuande to decisively choose to set up an ambush in Huangpo, and even strengthened prevention and control in the Chibi area.

Its purpose was to intercept the messengers. If Marquis Wu rejected his request in the letter, he would kill the person without hesitation.

After all, in the name of benevolence and righteousness, he absolutely cannot indulge.

What he didn't expect was that instead of rejecting his actions, Xu Yuanzhi praised them greatly, which made Liu Xuande a little embarrassed.

"General, there is no way for us to wait like this. If the other party doesn't come, is it possible that we have to stay here all the time?"

"The morale is a bit sluggish now. I'm worried that if this continues, even if the other party comes, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it."

Xing Daorong looked at Zhang Fei, who was tall and burly, with a sad face, and offered a suggestion with a respectful expression.

This scene may seem a bit funny to others, but in terms of physique, the two are comparable, but upon closer inspection, Zhang Fei is even rougher than thinner.

Even so, Zhang Fei didn't know what to do at the moment.

"The general is also a person who has led the army for many years. How can he not know the truth of this? The morale of the army is absolutely unshakable."

"What's more, we have been stationed again for so many days, and it is not bad to wait for him for a few more days. Fortunately, the weather is not too hot now, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable!"

"What's more, big brother entrusted us with such errands, we must not take it lightly."

Zhang Fei's response was not salty, and he didn't have a good impression of Xing Daorong from the bottom of his heart.

Just because I can be regarded as a half-educated person, but Xing Daorong in front of me doesn't seem to have any advantages no matter where he looks at it. When it comes to tactics, he is just reckless, and as for culture, let alone!
While the two were talking, there was a sudden rush of horns from the front battalion.

"Isn't this coming? Immediately pass down the order. All the troops are ready to fight with me!"

"it is good!"

Hearing that Zhang Fei issued the military order, Xing Daorong immediately became interested, and he was really worried that if he continued to delay it like this, there would really be chaos among the people under his command!
Although he is a general commanding the army, Xing Daorong knows in his heart that these people under him are not very convinced of him.

Fortunately, I had promised to give them great benefits, so these people could barely obey my orders.

Originally thought that the enemy soldiers had arrived, but after arriving at the frontline camp, Zhang Fei was a little dumbfounded. If it is not completely dark today, he can still see that it is not the enemy soldiers and horses, but Jiangdong's. Order!

"What letter?"

Zhang Fei was a little puzzled for a while, because that person didn't enter his camp, but stood in the distance and shouted loudly?

"What is this for?"

Not only Zhang Fei, but also Xing Daorong who hurried over was also confused.

"Could it be that they saw through our ambush?"

Xing Daorong muttered in a low voice.

"Impossible, they are not gods!"

When the two were discussing, they saw that the messenger seemed to have completed his task and turned around to leave.

It didn't take long before there was another visit to report.

"General!"

"Tell me, what did that person shout there?"

Looking at the spy kneeling on the ground in front of him, Zhang Fei waved his big hand and asked.

"This...I..."

The spy hesitated and didn't dare to speak, as if he had some concerns.

"You old man, what are you dawdling in, just say what you have to say!"

Zhang Fei stared wide-eyed, and the spy suddenly shuddered.

"The messenger came here this time to respond to the lord's desire to marry Jiangdong Sun Shangxiang. It was just a verbal response from Marquis Wu, and no letter was sent!" (End of this chapter)
