Chapter 403: Selfish General and Sinister Wolf

Xu Yuanxi said bitterly while shaking his fist fiercely, as if he was hitting Liu Yu in the face.

Hu Wenshou quickly grabbed the fist that Xu Yuanxi had just lowered and whispered: "General, calm down, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Xu Yuanxi gritted his teeth and said: "I have been operating in this Shouchun city for more than 20 years. I have struggled from a small officer to a general. This is my territory and no one can take it away. What is Liu Yu? A small building owner."

, you have only been here a few days, and you want to take away my inheritance? This is intolerable, but what is intolerable!"

Hu Wenshou smiled slightly: "General, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. Liu Yu is well prepared and will realize his insidious plan step by step. If we take away his military power in anger at this time, I'm afraid he will make further progress in the city.

It is not necessarily impossible to incite military morale and even mutiny to seize power."

Xu Yuanxi opened his eyes wide: "How dare he? I still have 500 Chinese army guards here. Even if Liu Yu has three heads and six arms, I don't believe he can defeat so many people. Also, if it doesn't work, I can invite him to a banquet."

, then turned over his medicine and locked him up."

Hu Wenshou sighed: "General, are you guilty of arresting Liu Yu?"

Xu Yuanxi laughed: "Isn't this crime easy to find? Let's just say that he released two boys from the Zhu family from prison without my consent, so we need to take him down."

Hu Wenshou shook his head: "Thousands of people in the city knew about releasing these two boys. Now it's difficult to convince Liu Yu because of this matter. Besides, Liu Yu has a majestic appearance.

I have also experienced what happened last time when Yang Qiu and others were overthrown by medicine. No matter whether it was force or trick, I'm afraid it won't work. What's more, he has more than 200 cavalry guards, and those people are also strong men. If he really takes action

Come on, you really may not be able to capture him."

Xu Yuanxi was frightened when he heard this, and the sweat on his forehead was about to break out: "What, what should we do? Lao Hu, you have been following me for many years, you must come up with a good idea this time!"

Hu Wenshou grinned, showing his sinister white teeth: "Actually, this matter is not difficult. After all, you are still the chief general in the city and hold the military talisman, but Liu Yu took advantage of this and won the task of defending the city.

After that, we established our prestige in the hearts of the soldiers and the people. I originally thought that today's Qin army's attack on the city would be difficult to defend. The soldiers and people suffered heavy casualties. When the time came, we took the opportunity to spread the news that Liu Yu's command was incompetent.

It will only increase casualties, so it is logical to remove him."

Xu Yuanxi gritted his teeth: "But this time he won a great victory and won the hearts of the army. I'm afraid your plan, Lao Hu, will fail."

Hu Wenshou sneered and said: "General, you know that I, Old Hu, always have a backup plan when doing things. If this move doesn't work, I will use another move. No matter how hard he can beat Liu, his life depends on us.

On hand!"

Xu Yuanxi asked curiously: "Lifeblood? What lifeblood?" When he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, to save food?"

Hu Wenshou laughed: "Exactly, when I asked the general to concentrate the grain in the governor's mansion, I did not make this intention public. Now that we have talked about it today, there is nothing to hide. Yes, it belongs to

I thought of this method because I thought there was a way to contain the man named Liu."

Xu Yuanxi nodded: "The most important thing for defending the city is food and grass. If the enemy doesn't attack the city, they can still besiege it. If there is a problem with the food supply, the people in the city will be unstable, or even self-defeating. Now the food and grass are in my possession."

I can share as much as I want with whoever I have, and I can even mix sand into the grain to make the sergeants resent Liu Yu, and then charge him with withholding military rations, is that right?"

Hu Wenshou smiled slightly: "Forget about adding sand. After all, the enemy is still outside the city. Although we won for a while today, there will be more hard battles in the future. As long as the soldiers know that it is you, General Xu, who has the final say in this city,

Rather than his surname being Liu, that's enough."

Xu Yuanxi said softly "Oh": "What should I do?"

Hu Wenshou smiled and said: "The general will bring wine and meat now and go to Beicheng to work for the army. Then he will give some speeches and tell the soldiers and people in the city that Liu Yu was sent to command by you. There are also fierce battles in other cities. It all depends on your unification.

With the deployment, it was easy to block it. The soldiers will remember the person who led them to win the battle, and will also remember the person who gave them good food and drink. After all, Liu Yu's position is below you and he does not dare to refute in person. In this way, today's

The credit for the victory belongs to the general."

Xu Yuanxi's brows relaxed completely and he said with a smile: "Lao Hu, you are still talented. You have thought of all this. Okay, I'll go now."

He took steps to leave, but Hu Wenshou rolled his eyes and said anxiously: "General, wait a minute, there is one more thing."

Xu Yuanxi stopped, looked at Hu Wenshou, and raised his lips: "What's the matter? You'd better finish it all at once."

Hu Wenshou nodded: "The other thing is that a few days ago, when Liu Yu went to the city to inspect, he went crazy and asked Yuen Long to lead people to smear the mud from the bottom of the wells on all the houses and towers in the city.

It’s so smoky and ugly.”

Xu Yuanxi smiled and said: "Old Hu, you can't blame Liu Yu for this. He did it to prevent fire attacks. In this method of warfare, you need to coat the wood with mud to prevent it from catching fire."

Hu Wenshou sneered and said: "General, you didn't see through his intentions. He didn't want to prevent fire attacks, but he wanted to make all the buildings in the city look gray and ugly. And his ultimate goal is here, the governor."

Mansion."

Xu Yuanxi wondered: "What good will this do to him?"

Hu Wenshou said sternly: "The governor's office is the capital of a state and a county. It is the seat of government and symbolizes authority. If people wipe mud from the bottom of a well, what dignity will there be? Ordinary people would have stayed away from here.

, I will be scared when I see it, my legs will be weak, so that the general will order everything. But if even ordinary sergeants and common people look at these mud-smeared governor's offices, point and even laugh, then your order, general, will not be fulfilled.

Is anyone else listening?"

Xu Yuanxi looked at Hu Wenshou suspiciously: "That's not true. This method of preventing fire and attacking with mud is a conventional method in military books, and it was not compiled by Liu Yu!"

Hu Wenshou sneered and said: "To say that the towers at the top of the city are within the direct attack range of the enemy, just plaster them with mud. But the governor's office is in the center of the city, at least two miles away from the city wall. There are no rockets from the enemy.

Can you fly so far? This is Liu Yu’s excuse to attack your authority, so don’t be fooled!”

Xu Yuanxi slapped his forehead suddenly: "Oh, I almost fell into this kid's trick again! Come on, go and clean up the mud outside the governor's house!"
