Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 385 Qiao Rui's Thoughts

Xun You nodded, and replied, "That's right, it's Yang Feng. As a supporting force, Yang Feng has never shown up, so we must investigate."

"A mere Yang Feng, with no more than [-] soldiers and horses, what can he do?" Zhao Qian said disapprovingly.

Seeing Zhao Qian's expression, Xun You frowned slightly, and quickly said: "My lord, military matters are important national affairs, and should not be taken lightly. How powerful Xiang Yu was back then, and was he defeated by Gao Zu in the end? Don't be defeated by a few victories. So I thought Yuan Shu would be easy to deal with, he is also a prince after all."

Zhao Qian was taken aback by Xun You's words, and even though he broke out in a cold sweat, he might really be a little too proud.

Surprisingly attacking Lei Bo, besieging Chen Ji, winning Chenjun and Shangcai consecutively, coupled with subjective contempt for Yuan Shu, made Zhao Qian feel a little bit elated, thinking that this crusade against Yuan Shu was easy to capture.

Fortunately, Xun You reminded him, otherwise, he might suffer a big loss.

Zhao Qian suddenly thought of Cao Cao. Isn't Cao Cao in history a good example?Conquering Jiangdong, how powerful the forces are!
As a result, seeing that Zhou Yu was young and Zhuge had a bad family background, he underestimated the enemy. How many soldiers died in a fire!

Since then, Cao Wei has never been able to launch such a large-scale crusade.

Zhao Qian thought that he at this time was far behind Cao Cao at that time. If he was not careful and followed Yuan Shu's way, it would be a big loss.

Even if Yuan Shu is incompetent, there are other princes, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, if they take advantage of their underestimation of the enemy and rush in, it will be enough.

Seeing that Zhao Qian was silent, Xun You thought he was not satisfied with his reminder, but in this position, he had to say something.

Xun You, who should be said, absolutely wants to say it. As for whether to listen or not, that is Zhao Qian's business, so Xun You continued: "Although Yang Feng's martial arts is not as good as the general under the lord's account, after all, he has served under Dong Zhuo's account for many years and fought on the battlefield. It’s not comparable to a general like Qiao Rui who just hunts down bandits, let alone a general like Lei Bo and Chen Lan who came from bandits.”

"What Gongda said is very true. I underestimated the enemy." Zhao Qian nodded and said, "I will send an order to Pengju later to investigate the movements of Yang Feng's army. We must not allow any information that our army cannot grasp."

Xun You saw that Zhao Qian didn't care about his own face, and bluntly said that he underestimated the enemy. He couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly got up and said, "My lord is wise!"

Zhao Qian chuckled, and said, "If you do Gongda, who is not a sage can do nothing? This time, thanks to Gongda's reminder, otherwise you will make mistakes."

"My lord, if you are brave enough to admit your mistakes, even a sage can do so." Xun You continued.

Zhao Qian laughed when he heard this, pointed at Xun You and said, "Gongda, a resourceful man, has learned a lot from others, but this flattering skill needs to be studied again, it is too blunt."

There was embarrassment on Xun You's face, but after a while, he cupped his hands and said, "No!"

Zhao Qian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again. This is not a thin-skinned man, so that's great. The prerequisite for flattering is to have a thick-skinned face. It seems that Xun You still has a bright future.

Afterwards, Zhao Qian didn't tease Xun You anymore, but after giving Ma Chao another order, the army set off and continued eastward.

In Luohu Mountain, Qiao Rui was sitting in a tent, without saying a word, his brows were furrowed, obviously in a bad mood.

Liu Hao next to him sighed softly and said, "General, Zhao Qian's army can't come in for the time being in the camp in the mountains. We are safe now. General, why not take a rest first."

"Rest? How can this general rest peacefully?" Qiao Rui sneered, "Although Du Yuan took you and me in, he was deceiving too much!"

It turned out that just now, Du Yuan invited Qiao Rui to a banquet, and the euphemistic name was to clean up the dust for General Qiao.

However, in fact, during the banquet, Du Yuan and the others sneered at Qiao Rui, which was really a bit of a sarcasm.

Qiao Rui was the number one bandit suppressing general under Yuan Shu's tent. Usually, these bandits and bandits were like worthless things, but now he has to be ridiculed by them. The feeling must be uncomfortable.

"General, please be patient for a while." Liu Hao comforted.

"Hmph! Forbearance? Do you want this general to face their ridicule all day long?" Qiao Rui said angrily.

Liu Hao looked at Qiao Rui's appearance and asked, "Then I don't know what the general's plan is. If it is useful to go to the place where the last general is useful, just give orders, and the last general will not hesitate to die."

Qiao Rui waved his hand and said, "There are still nearly [-] people in Luohu Mountain. If you can control them, you can't counterattack Zhao Qian, but based on this, you can also restrain the enemy if you cooperate with Runan."

"But Du Yuan and the others may not be able to obey the general's command." Liu Hao said with some worry.

Qiao Rui snorted coldly, and said, "It's not certain, it's certain that I won't listen to the general's command."

Liu Hao looked at Qiao Rui's sinister smile, and asked cautiously: "The general means to seize military power?"

Qiao Rui glanced at Liu Hao, nodded, and said, "Yes, if we can't control the people here, we will be killed by them sooner or later."

"It shouldn't be possible, right? Du Yuan and the others promised us." Liu Hao said.

Qiao Rui laughed and said, "The promises made by bandits and bandits are nothing! Du Yuan invited us into the mountains just to wait and see."

"The end general doesn't quite understand."

Qiao Rui sighed softly, and said: "If Zhao Qian defeated the lord, Du Yuan would definitely send our heads up to claim credit; if Zhao Qian was defeated, Du Yuan would get the lord's reward in the name of helping each other. , he had a good idea."

Liu Hao is not stupid, Qiao Rui has said so, he naturally understands the seriousness of the situation, even if Zhao Qian is defeated in the end, Yuan Shu will not spare him and Qiao Rui, it will only make Du Yuan cheaper.

"Whatever is the general's plan, the last general will definitely help." Liu Hao said.

Qiao Rui pondered for a long time, and said: "First gather our headquarters and resume training. With these thousands of people, I can be regarded as a bit confident."

"Don't worry, general, this matter has been arranged in the end." Liu Hao replied hastily.

Qiao Rui nodded and said, "Well, you've done a good job in this matter, the next step is to find a chance to get rid of Du Yuan and the bandit leaders."

"Will killing them cause the bandits in Luohu Mountain to resist?" Liu Hao asked worriedly.

Qiao Rui sneered, and said, "Based on my general's experience in fighting bandits for many years, it is not at all. These bandits only care about small profits in the immediate future, so why would they think so much? As long as I promise them some benefits, I will be able to appease them."

At this moment, the sergeant outside the tent shouted, "General Du has arrived!"
