"Recruit troops..." Houllier gradually understood what Zhou Xingyun wanted to express.
"Yes, the empire will recruit troops and call on all the kingdoms of the federation to assemble their troops to fight against the armies of the Holy Union Army and the Oseland Alliance that appear in the northeast and southeast of the Esilans Empire."
"If I were the commander-in-chief of the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance, I would move the frontline troops to the seaport of the Kingdom of Lhasa when the empire dispatched its troops to the northeast and southeast of the Esilans Empire."
"The Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance have already planned to go to the port of the Kingdom of Lhasa by sea. It can be said that it is smooth sailing. They only need to leave a small number of soldiers and horses stationed in the northeast and southeast of the Esilans Empire, that is,
It can make the armies of the Esilans Empire unable to move."
"Why can't our army move? Are their soldiers very strong?"
Houllier only understood half of what Zhou Xingyun said.
The Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance made a time lag. While the Esilans Empire was dispatching troops to the northeastern and southeastern cities, they transferred the main force in front to the seaport of the Kingdom of Lhasa, thereby raiding the Esilans Empire.
rear.
What Houllier couldn't understand was how the enemy could hold back the Aisilans Empire's army with a small group of troops.
"Because you are on the defensive side, the enemy only needs to create an illusion to keep the Esilans Empire's army stationary."
"Illusion?"
"For example, an empty barracks. When the main forces of the Holy Alliance and the Oselan Alliance withdraw from the front line, they only need to leave their camps and let a small group of people patrol every day to create an atmosphere of a large army.
This can make it difficult for the Aisilans army stationed in the northeast and southeast walls of the empire to move forward. If I were the leader of the enemy, I would bring a small group of people with me every day and go to your checkpoints to beat gongs and drums to show off my power and disturb you.
Your soldiers will have no peace."
Attacking from the east and attacking from the west, concealing the enemy's secrets, building plank roads openly, and secretly attacking the enemy's warehouses. The enemy's tricks should not be too obvious. It is a pity that no one in the great empire can see through them.
The Thirty-Six Strategies is a good thing. Zhou Xingyun really hopes that Houllier can read it one day, so he doesn't have to waste his time explaining it.
But having said that, Zhou Xingyun himself has never seen the Thirty-six Stratagems. He can play some tricks and guess the enemy's intentions easily, all because he has had a hard time and has experienced too many hardships...
I can’t bear to look back on the past, and I’ll shed tears if I talk about it too much!
Zhou Xingyun's transformation from a prodigal in the world to a dominant prince was achieved step by step through untold hardships.
In other words, Zhou Xingyun is a stupid pig. After experiencing various life and death difficulties, he more or less enlightened.
Furthermore, he can use these idioms that are simple and easy to understand in literal terms, even if he doesn't read the Thirty-Six Stratagems, such as "to attack the east and to attack the west, to hide the truth from the sky and to cross the sea, to build the plank road openly, and to hide the secrets in the old warehouse".
Of course, in the end, Zhou Xingyun must thank Xu Zhiqian and Han Qiumiao. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to Mo are black. When Zhou Xingyun is undecided, he hugs the thighs of two beautiful military gods. He should have learned some secrets secretly.
trick.
"Your Excellency, Zhou Xingyun, means that the real crisis of the empire is on our side?" Houllier looked livid, thinking that Zhou Xingyun's analysis was correct.
She originally thought that the enemy army attacking the Principality of Cheryl was the Holy Union Army and the third army of the Oselan Alliance. Even if the number was very large, they would have a chance to keep the enemy army at bay as long as they recapture Fort Mayba.
However, according to Zhou Xingyun's speculation, the enemy they are about to face is not the third army of the Holy Religion United Army and the Osailan Alliance, but the general army of the Holy Religion United Army and the Osailan Alliance.
"This is my personal guess. The actual situation is that we can't make a conclusion until the armies of the Holy Alliance and the Oselan Alliance appear." Zhou Xingyun patted his butt and stood up, smiling and said to Houllier: "The food is cold.
It doesn’t taste good. Mr. Houllier, please use it slowly.”
After Zhou Xingyun said what he should say, he stood up and left the side hall, leaving Houllier to worry about himself.
To be honest, Zhou Xingyun didn't want to stay in the side hall to eat with Houllier.
It wasn't because Houllier was old and frail, and she was an old woman with wrinkles on her face. Zhou Xingyun would be offended when he saw her.
Zhou Xingyun is a good young man who respects the elderly and loves the young. He does not discriminate against the elderly. When he was at Jianshu Villa, he liked to have dinner with Grandma Dingling the most.
Because Grandma Dingling was in charge, Xiao Qiuqiu, Xiao Suyao, and Xiao Zhiqian did not dare to make any mistakes. Even if Zhou Xingyun repeatedly took away the fragrant meat from their bowls, the girls could only smile and face it, even frowning.
I didn't even dare to frown.
The ancients never deceived me. An elder in the family is like a treasure. This is absolutely true.
If the ancients wanted to know Zhou Xingyun's inner thoughts, they would definitely tell him that your idea is not right. The old man is like a treasure and should not act as a deterrent!
Zhou Xingyun did not stay in the side hall to dine with Houllier. That was because today's celebration banquet should have been a very pleasant event, but Houllier was tense and depressed to the point of panic.
Zhou Xingyun couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he ran away decisively. After all, he respected the old and loved the young. Not only did he respect the old, he also loved the young!
Although Zhou Xingyun chatted with Hollier for a few minutes in the side hall, the little girl ate slowly and slowly. Now he ran to the lobby to dine with the little cuties. It should be too late... I hope Xiao Xiaosai and the others haven't finished eating yet!
It doesn't matter if they finish eating. Anyway, they will eat and drink enough, and nine times out of ten they will play in the courtyard, and Zhou Xingyun can enjoy the meal while watching.
Perhaps the lunch was too delicious. When Zhou Xingyun returned to the lobby of the Lord's Mansion after talking to Houllier, most of the little girls in the paradise were full and sat in groups, talking about the thrilling secret training.
Zhou Xingyun eavesdropped for a while and discovered an interesting detail.
That's when little girls gather together to celebrate victory, and when a group of animals gather together to celebrate victory, there is a subtle difference.
This difference is the difference between ‘I’ and ‘him’.
Just like Yushu Zifang's beasts, Qin Shou, Li Xiaofan and others brag at the celebration banquet. When looking back on the battle, they like to say, how did I do that at that time, how did I kill the powerful enemy...
When the girls from the Flame Lady Army talked, they mostly described the enemy, how he was doing at that time, and how he was killed...
The same goes for the little girls in Paradise. Most of them talk about their enemies, but they indirectly point out themselves. For example...
At that time, there was a soldier from the Kingdom of Lhasa who climbed up the city wall with a rat-headed and rat-brained approach. I was shocked! Who knew, before I had time to react, he was hit in the back of the head by a stone thrown by one of his own people?
I quickly seized the opportunity, rushed up and pushed him off the wall.
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Zhou Xingyun simply sat down next to Xiao Xiaosai and listened to the little girl chatting.
However, when Zhou Xingyun sat down, he discovered that the lunch held in Xiaosai's hand actually had leftovers! And it was the fresh mushroom stew that he cooked with the most care!
"Xiao Xiaosai, it's wrong to be picky about food. That's the stew I made with great pains and all the afternoon. It's very nutritious and will definitely help you grow up quickly!" Zhou Xingyun looked at Xiao Sai and said, fresh mushroom stew.
It is the most labor-intensive dish among many dishes.
Because Zhou Xingyun can stir-fry other dishes in a large pot, but for these small stew pots, Zhou Xingyun must allocate more than 200 portions in advance and cook one portion of each ingredient over slow heat.
"I'll eat it later." Xiao Xiaosai said bitterly. There was no way she could tell Zhou Xingyun that this pot of stew was specially prepared for you by a few naughty little girls. It smells delicious. Try it.
It tastes salty and bitter.
Xiao Xiaosai wanted to throw away the stew pot, but in the end, she was a little reluctant to let it go.
After all, this is a delicious dish cooked by Zhou Xingyun for them. It would be a pity to throw it away. Therefore, Xiao Xiaosai hesitates. Should he muster up the courage to drink it? Or... find a place where no one is around and dispose of it secretly.
.
If it were Hua Fuduo, she would definitely make a wise choice and immediately get rid of the bitter thing the moment Zhou Xingyun turned around.
This is a lesson learned from the past. Hua Fuduo is very afraid of bitterness, and she can't bear the slightest bit of bitterness. In the past, Zhou Xingyun persuaded her to take medicine, but even if he tried to feed her, she wouldn't even drink it.
The good medicine that Qin Beiyan painstakingly collected was ruined by her countless times. The poor potted plant placed in the bedroom could not even bear the torture and withered within two days...
If he hadn't discovered that the potted plants had withered inexplicably, Zhou Xingyun would not have known that Huafuduo was so wasteful of good medicine.
Hua Fuduo took the freshly brewed medicine to water the flowers, which really made Zhou Xingyun feel bad.
Qin Beiyan collected the medicine, and Hua Fuduo didn't have to accept her favor. However, the person who cooked the medicine was Zhou Xingyun who cooked it for her!
Helpless, in front of the bitter Chinese medicine, the master is lying. Wafuduo said he won’t drink it, so he just won’t drink it.
In short, Waffled's taste is also a genius. She can't touch the three flavors of bitter, fishy and spicy.
Wafuduo would rather eat tasteless steamed buns than spicy barbecue. Unless Zhou Xingyun worked hard to make it extremely delicious, she would only take a small bite.
To put it bluntly, Waffle is a picky eater! She only eats light food, and she doesn’t like anything heavy in oil or salt.
Zhou Xingyun was well aware of Waffle's picky eating habits, but Xiao Xiaosai was also picky about food, which surprised him.
To be honest, Zhou Xingyun has never heard little Cesai say that there are foods she doesn't like.
Are fresh mushrooms also Xiao Saisai’s weakness? She hates eating them?
"No, no, no! Children can't be picky eaters!" Zhou Xingyun smiled mischievously, thinking that Xiao Xiaosai would be like Waffle and secretly empty the stew pot while he wasn't paying attention.
However, what Zhou Xingyun couldn't understand was that when he was teasing Xiao Xiaosai, why did Mo Nianxi run up to him and dance like an amateur dancer?
Just when Zhou Xingyun was about to ask Mo Nianxi for a clear explanation, Xiao Xiaosai calmly replied to him: "Okay."
Then, in front of everyone, Xiao Xiaosai picked up his fresh mushroom stew pot, and drank it without changing his face and heartbeat.
That's great. Now she doesn't have to hesitate whether to empty the stew pot or drink it. Zhou Xingyun has already made the choice for her.
When Mo Nianxi saw this, she couldn't help but ran to Zhou Xingyun, whispered in his ear to clarify the situation, and put the stew pot in her hand, in fact...
