"Turn defense into offense?" Mingwei looked at him in surprise, "What are you doing?"
Yang Shucai came back from Zongxu and explained the matter to her in detail.
"Thank you for bringing Mr. Guo back, I didn't have a clue at first!"
He explained: "The teacher never thought about it from the beginning, and just relied on perseverance to get through these three months. He believed that the Hu people had just ended their civil war, their internal conflicts had not been resolved, and Su Tu's throne as the Hu leader was not stable. This
If we can give them a heavy blow at that time, the Hu tribe that has not yet been integrated can be instantly disintegrated, and it may even never become a climate again in the future."
Mingwei thought about it carefully and nodded: "General Zong has great foresight. But we only have three thousand soldiers and horses. We encountered several avalanches while marching in the snow, and even fought a hard battle against the barbarians.
Twenty thousand elites, no matter how hard you think, there is no chance of winning, right?"
"Standing out seems to be the safest option, but it is not that reliable. As the defenders, we cannot make any mistakes. As long as a loophole is caught, Sutu's 20,000 cavalry will overwhelm us.
"
Ming Wei doesn't know much about the war, but it sounds very reasonable.
Yang Shu continued: "The Hu soldiers and horses have been here for two days, and we have been watching for two days, and found something interesting."
"What?"
"They are actually composed of several tribes, and they are distinct from each other."
Mingwei said: "Isn't this strange? Originally, the eight departments were integrated into one. If Su Tu only brought the Snow Wolf Department here, there would be no manpower to guard the royal court."
Yang Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "This leaves room for maneuver."
Mingwei thought for a while and suddenly realized: "You want to trick Mr. Guo into creating a divorce plan!"
"That's right!" Yang Shu laughed, "So, did you pick it up in time? Otherwise we really wouldn't be able to find the candidate."
Mingwei, a habitual liar, was speechless when he heard about their plan.
She said: "He is a weak scholar. It is not easy for him to go to Baimen Gorge in the wind and snow. He has to travel hundreds of miles and risk avalanches to get here, and you still cheat him."
Yang Shu disagreed: "If he wants to grab credit, he can't do nothing, right? If you have the guts to bet on his bright future, you should take some risks."
Mingwei imagined that situation and couldn't help but laugh.
"It doesn't matter, who calls him greedy? Those who can work hard!"
The two of them laughed cheekily together.
…
Guo Xu didn't believe it at first.
People who are full of evil will inevitably think of others like this.
But he went to squat outside Zongxu's gate for many days in a row, and all he saw were either military doctors or confidants nervously coming and going.
Zong Xu would occasionally "wake up", and at this time he would pull him to chat feebly, thinking about his heroic years and the regret that his life was not over yet.
From time to time, he would barely breathe, which made Guo Xu break out in a cold sweat.
General Zongda, please stop talking. If you die, will your death be recorded in the history books?
However, Zong Xu always acted like he was explaining the funeral affairs, and he couldn't bear to interrupt him several times.
This old guy seems to be dying?
"Master Guo, I have been angry with you civil servants all my life. I didn't expect you to be the one to see me off at this time. Things are so unpredictable..."
"The final destination of the son of my clan is the battlefield. I have long thought that such a day would come. But Quanzi has not yet been able to take on the big responsibility, and he died unwillingly!"
"It's a pity that my subordinates, all elites who have experienced hundreds of battles, have to be buried here with me today. The poor bones by the Wuding River were once the people in the boudoir's dream..."
He actually started reading poetry!
Guo Xu became more and more irritated by what he said. He thought to himself, it seems that he really has no acting skills. Otherwise, why would he be doing badmouthing like this every day?
When you are trapped in an isolated city, the importance of morale is self-evident. If you are trapped and lose your energy, even if the enemy does not attack, you will collapse first.
Although Guo Xu was a civil servant, he had also read military books and had common sense.
Yang Shu came here every day, and the filial son usually brought tea and medicine, and then listened to Zong Xu's lectures with a sigh of relief.
The teacher is kind and the disciple is filial, blinding his eyes.
After persisting for five or six days, Guo Xu could no longer hold on.
Because Sutu began to attack the city.
The Qi army poured a lot of water on the city wall, which froze solidly in just one night. The ice wall made it more difficult to attack the city, making the siege even more difficult.
Guo Xu stood on the city wall and observed the scene.
This was of course very dangerous for him. Even if he was covered with all kinds of protection, a weak scholar who had never been on a battlefield before stood on the city wall was still looking for death.
But Guo Xu insisted.
He felt that Zong Xu might really not be acting. In that case, the possibility of his survival would be greatly reduced.
Of course, he could also ask Mingwei to use the big flying bird to send him back.
But Mr. Guo thought about it and felt that he could not afford to embarrass this person.
What's more, he was able to enter the Political Affairs Hall at such a young age just because he dared to fight.
When he was a state official, it was through a corruption case that he caught the eye of the Holy Emperor and rose to prominence.
Defending the gravel slope is extremely dangerous, but it also contains rare opportunities.
Just imagine, what an achievement it would be for a civil servant to take orders when the general was in danger and lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to resist the attack of 20,000 Hu cavalry.
Guo Xu's blood boils just thinking about it.
When Zong Xu is the chief general, he can return to the political hall if he takes credit. What if he is the chief officer?
This achievement is the first of its kind since the founding of the country!
Minghan, the famous founding prime minister of the country, had never achieved such feats.
Not only can he rise to prominence, but he can also leave his name in history!
An arrow flew towards Mr. Guo, interrupting his thoughts and making him squat with his head in his hands.
The arrow grazed the helmet and passed by.
Yang Shu came over: "Master Guo, you'd better go down, it's too dangerous here. If you make a mistake, it will be a loss for the court!"
After hearing what he said, Guo Xu stood up straight again: "It's okay. I have to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers for three months. How can I escape in the middle of the battle? Only by knowing what is going on during the siege can we plan better for the soldiers."
Yang Shu tried to persuade him a few more times, but did not persuade him. He had to call a junior colonel: "Master Guo's safety will be left to you. If anything goes wrong, you are the only one to ask."
The primary school obeys orders.
Yang Shu sighed and left, looking helpless and moved.
After not walking far, they entered the corner tower. Mingwei was watching the battle inside. When he saw him coming in, he asked, "How is it?"
Yang Shu couldn't bear to laugh and said: "If you refuse to go down even to the death, you are taking the bait."
Mingwei also smiled: "You don't even care about your life, you are really a senior official fan."
"No matter what he is for, as long as he can do something." Yang Shu looked at the fierce Hu soldiers outside the city, "If he can really do it, what if I give him this huge contribution?" (To be continued)
