Anyway, the sky is big and the earth is big, and Zhang Xiu is the biggest. He will say whatever he says.

"promise."

Cai Mao Yingnuo said, turned around and retreated. This matter was strange. Such an order was simply a waste of effort.

With Cai Mao's order, the generals, officers and soldiers were at a loss.

That night, the soldiers patrol the camp and met each other. Should they do something?

"Hey, who is in front?"

"Small ribs."

"Oh, that's fine, you guys keep going."

There has never been such a thing in the army before. There is the possibility of enemy spies plaguing in, climbing onto the city walls and passing messages on the military camp.

But there must be no small team of people who sneaked into the military camp to carry out sabotage, and even had to carry out beheading operations and assassinate Zhang Xiu.

Even if the Ganning Hundred Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry Cavalry is a sacrificial attack.

What is the meaning of such a password?

After Cai Mao conveyed the military order, he was puzzled. "Great Strategy" like Cai Mao had separate tents around the central army's tent and special servants served.

Their lives are more comfortable than the generals, and they are so close to facilitate Zhang Xiu to see him at any time.

After Cai Mao returned to his tent, he had dinner casually and planned to read a book for a while, but he really couldn't read it. This problem was like a cat caught, making him feel uncomfortable.

After thinking about it for a while, Cai Mao decided to ask for advice.

He is Zhang Xiu's brother-in-law. Although he is not intelligent, he has a good popularity. No one around Zhang Xiu would want to offend him.

And he and Fa Zheng had a special talk.

When Cai Mao came, Fa Zheng was reading a book. It was not that he worked hard, but that there was really nothing to do in the army.

His study is similar to Zhuge Liang, just bare it for a moment.

"Brother is here to come to me for a drink?" Fa Zheng heard the movement, and couldn't help but put down the book, raised his head and said with a smile.

"No, no. I have something I want to ask Xiaozhi for advice." Cai Mao waved his hand, then calmly came to Fa Zheng to kneel down, looked up and asked, "Ming Gong, set a command [small ribs]. Why is this?"

Fa Zheng also heard about this.

He replied casually: "The Grand Sima is an extraordinary person, and his thoughts are unpredictable to ordinary people. But there is a possibility. Now the soldiers in the army are sick, and the princes of Guandong are gradually becoming stronger. It is no benefit to stay in this Nanzhong area. That is, it is a pity to abandon it without food. Although Nanzhong is strong, it is actually the soldiers of Nanzhong, and they dare not send troops to Bashu. With Xu Shu, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others strong, they come to 100,000 people, and 100,000 people die. It is better to abandon the brothel and rebel against Luoyang, go out of Huzhu, and capture the princes of Guandong, and plan hegemony."

"Xiaozhi means that the Grand Sima might want to withdraw his troops?" Cai Mao's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly.

"Yes. But this is just my guess. After all, the Grand Sima had set Zheng Du as the governor of Yunzhou before, and Zhang Ren controlled the troops of Yunzhou, so he was still very determined to go south." Fa Zheng shook his head and said with a smile.

As a counselor, why guess what the king is thinking?

Whether Zhang Xiu forced himself to capture Nanzhong, or abandoned Nanzhong, north and went to Luoyang, and went out of Hulao in the east, they just had their advice.

Cai Mao’s thoughts and methods are exactly different. He is trying hard to get Zhang Xiu’s favor, which is a shortcut to promotion and wealth.

Cai Mao recognized Fa Zheng's guess, "There are no-nostalgia and no-nostalgia," which is indeed a pity to eat and abandon it without taste.

After a few hurried words, Cai Mao said goodbye and left.

............

The next morning, Zhang Xiu woke up. He woke up earlier than usual, much earlier, but he was quite energetic and his eyes were very bright, as if there were stars shining.

The Ba girl beside her was still sleeping soundly, but when she saw Zhang Xiu wake up, she had to hurry up, change clothes and wash Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu is lustful and comes to him once every night.

There is always a strange smell on your body when you wake up this morning, so you have to clean it up.

After the completion, Zhang Xiu left the inner account and came to the outer account. Dian Wei was already outside the big account. When he saw Zhang Xiu coming out, he bowed and asked, "Ming Gong, do you want to pass on the meal?"

Dian Wei is called a guard, but in fact he is like an insult, and he has to take care of many things.

"Send the meal right away. But today I feel that my appetite is OK, and breakfast is 30% more than usual." Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said with his head up.

Zhang Xiu usually just makes a big deal, and 30% more is a big deal.

Dian Wei Yingnuo said, turned around and went down. Soon after, the personal soldiers kept carrying food and walked in.

Zhang Xiu finished all the meals like a wind blowing away the clouds.

At this time, it was already dawn. Zhang Xiu looked up and said to Dian Wei: "Brother, summon the strategists to see you."

"No." Dian Wei Yingnuo said, turned around and went down.

Not long after, Cai Mao, Ju Su, Xun You, Fa Zheng, Zhuge Jin, Sima Yi, Zheng Du and others came in one after another, and after each bowed, they sat according to their seats.

Zhang Xiu raised his face slightly, looked expressionless, and asked, "Nan King Meng Yuan is blocking my way with 100,000 soldiers. What do you think?"

Zheng Du frowned slightly. This was a bit wrong. Is the Grand Sima going to withdraw his troops?

The chief clerk Cai Mao stood up and bowed and said, "Ming Gong. Now our army is ill and half of the soldiers are infected. The Southern Army is strong. The wise man is the best. I think I should make a quick decision now and withdraw my troops back to Luoyang."

"As for the southern central area, it is just a disease of scabies, which is not enough to worry about. It will be handed over to the general of Zhennan to deal with it."

Cai Mao received Fazheng's guidance, raised his head with confidence and looked at Zhang Xiu with anticipation.

Praise me quickly.

Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed. Sima Yi raised his sleeves and glared at Cai Mao, saying to Zhang Xiu: "Ming Gong. Please kill the chief clerk."

"Ah?!!!!" Cai Mao said ah, and glared at Sima Yi and felt a little aggrieved. I didn't offend you, why did you do such a back stab?

And why did I get killed?

Sima Yi bowed to Zhang Xiu again and said with a tribute: "Ming Gong. Now the army is facing a little difficulty, but the Ming Gong is strong and the generals are strong. We assist the Ming Gong in the curtain. The top and the bottom are united, so why is it difficult to pacify the Nanzhong? The chief clerk blocks the army, loses morale, and has ulterior motives."

Zhang Xiu looked at Sima Yi with his eyes curled up, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Sima Yi didn't understand his intention, but instinctively felt a chill on his back. But he thought carefully and found that what he said seemed to be right. So he also looked directly at Zhang Xiu and expressed his honesty.

"Ming Gong. Sima Yi has ulterior motives. He hopes that Ming Gong will be defeated here, so Sima can..."

Cai Mao was dizzy and hurriedly explained.

Zhang Xiu's mouth twitched again, then sighed and interrupted Cai Mao's speech, saying: "Zhongda is right, the chief clerk is guilty. He demoted the chief clerk to the imperial rank, temporarily took the chief clerk, and was fined for one year. Brother, you will take the chief clerk away and think about it for three days."

"No." Dian Wei walked in from outside the tent and took away the confused Cai Mao.

Sima Yi said it very well. If Cai Mao was not Zhang Xiu's brother-in-law, he would really have killed him.

However, even the top advisers present were confused about what Zhang Xiu was doing.

"Ming Gong didn't want to withdraw his troops, but why did he set up a [small rib] password?" Fa Zheng felt that his brain was a bit enough.

Forget it, he is a counselor anyway, so he doesn't care what Zhang Xiu is thinking.

Fa Zheng shook his head and drove away distracting thoughts.

"Everyone. What the chief clerk said just now is correct. The troops and horses in the South China are strong, and we are on the weak side. We need to use a plan. Will you come up with a plan?"

Zhang Xiu adjusted his breathing and his expression became vivid. He glanced at everyone with great anticipation and looked at Sima Yi with emphasis.

I wanted to kill him, but I didn't. Let's continue using it.

This kid has been active since entering Bashu. Maybe there will be some good solutions.

Fa Zheng took the lead. He raised his sleeves and bowed to Zhang Xiu calmly, saying, "Ming Gong. The people in the south are brave but not wise, and they know that there is a disease in our army. Zhurong challenges us and we cannot hide. They must be more arrogant. It is better to go with the flow."

"How to go with the flow?" Zhang Xiu understood Fa Zheng's plan a little, but was too lazy to think about it, so he asked directly.

"Yesterday Zhu Rong was successful in showing off his power, and he will definitely come back today. Ming Gong might as well let Zhang Ren, Xu Shu and others go to war, only defeat, not win. At the right time, we retreated, lure the southern people to pursue, and set up an ambush to defeat him."

Fa Zheng was filled with his eyebrows and said loudly.

Zhang Xiu nodded with a smile, then glanced at the tent, and saw that no one of the advisers opposed it, he smiled and said, "Xiaozhi is indeed awesome."

............

morning.

In Zhuti City, in the temporary hall of the Nanwang Mansion.

Meng Yuan faced north and south. Although he was not known for his force, he was strong and powerful.

Meng Huo, Zhu Rong and others sat on both sides of the bottom, smiling and active.

"Everyone. Zhang Xiu hung up the battle-free sign, as timid as a mouse. Yesterday Zhu Rong went to fight, which made us the southerners very excited. It would be better to let Zhu Rong lead a thousand elite troops across the river to challenge today. If Zhang Xiu couldn't help but send a general to fight, Zhu Rong could kill the generals and seize the flag. If Zhang Xiu could tolerate it, our morale could rise step by step. Why not do it?"

Meng Yuan raised his head and said.

"What the king said is very good, but no harm." Zhu Bao said with excitement on his face and bowed his hands.

"What I said is." King Yi Gaoding also focused on the key points.

"Zhurong, how dare you go to fight?" Meng Yuan raised his head and looked at Zhurong.

"Why don't you dare?" Zhu Rong stood up suddenly and said carelessly.

Meng Yuan immediately asked Zhu Rong to give him some troops, and then led everyone to the wooden platform on the river bank to sit down and watch the battle.

Before Zhurong crosses the river.
