Rebirth of a Farming Wife

Especially Han Yu, after several small tests of military skills and victory, when he heard that Zhao Fan was going to raise his troops to attack, he was even a little excited and eager to try. It was nothing to win when the troops were evenly matched. If you can still win, then you have understood the true meaning of Sun Tzu's Art of War. In the past, he could only sit quietly and study the art of war. After all, talking about war on paper was just theory. Now he finally had the opportunity to practice his skills. The danger was nothing!

Knowing that Zhao Fan was going to launch a large-scale attack, Liu Xiu was not as good as Han Yu, but he was still calm. After all, he had experienced countless dangers along the way. If he hadn't been calm, he would have been frightened to death, but like this Important events should not be taken lightly, and the generals and staff under his command were immediately summoned to discuss the matter and discuss a sound response strategy.

However, most of the others are not as calm as Han Yu and Liu Xiu. After all, the number of opponents is several times theirs. Even if they have won a few small victories recently, this cannot cover up their biggest disadvantage in this war. This war Even if you don't lose, it will be tragic.

"General, why don't we retreat? The number of soldiers and horses sent by the reckless thieves is several times that of ours. Even if General Han is good at warfare, he can't defeat him. It's better to retreat temporarily and preserve our strength until he has strength in the future. Let’s fight against the reckless thieves.” A soldier said, somewhat fearful of the enemy’s strength, but was immediately refuted.

"Bullshit! Retreating without a fight, isn't this what a coward would do?! Besides, our morale is high, while the enemy's morale is low. Even if we can't compete in terms of military strength, with General Han commanding us, we might be able to defeat the enemy, even if It’s a defeat, but it’s still glorious. I won’t be that courageous coward!”

"What is a coward? It's advisable to rush forward even though you know you can't beat him and sacrifice your life in vain? Such people are more despised than cowards. Even if you don't care about yourself, you have to think about your wife and children at home. Such a worthless sacrifice is not worth it. Isn't it worth it? I also think we should conserve our strength and retreat. This is called understanding the situation! Don't think that you are great after just a few small victories. It is just a small force of the enemy. How can we really attack with all our strength? It’s easy to resist, don’t exaggerate some people’s ability,”

When Han Yu heard this person speak like this, he glanced sharply at him. This person had always been on good terms with Yin Shi, so it was normal for him to go against him, but he shouldn't have made such depressing remarks at this time. It was an obvious blow. Morale, the excuse was high-sounding, but it was clearly just that they didn't have the guts to be afraid, exaggerating the enemy's power.

Although Han Yu was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything. His current status was not enough to argue with these cowardly people. Besides, he understood Liu Xiu's attitude. This battle was inevitable and there would be no retreat. Maybe, if you don't even have this bit of courage, you're not worthy of taking that position.

However, although there are those who are cowardly and timid, they only account for a small part. Liu Xi has a pretty good eye for people. Therefore, before Han Yu showed dissatisfaction, someone directly choked the man's words back: "Even if you want to retreat, Let's go to a fight. The winner is still unknown. Don't just say depressing words. This is obviously making excuses for yourself. Why are you so greedy for life and afraid of death? Why do you want to be a soldier? You might as well go home and have your children! "

"What are you talking about! You are a reckless man who only knows how to act with brute force and use your brain in everything. There is nothing shameful about our retreat now. It is just a matter of strategy. Didn't I tell you to wait until you are strong enough to find the reckless thief? Get it back!"

…

There were so many people arguing fiercely. Liu Xiu listened for a while before he stopped him: "Okay, stop arguing. I have already made a decision. Let's accept this battle!"

Liu Xiu said and looked at his subordinates and staff who had just insisted on retreating: "Although we are at a disadvantage now, we are not completely without a chance of winning. If this is the case, I will lead people to retreat without saying a word. After all, there is no need for such a unnecessary sacrifice." It doesn't make any sense, but the situation is different now. The outcome is still unknown. It's just the odds of winning. If you don't even have the courage to fight, why did you rise up against the imperial court? If you really agree with that sentence, you have no courage at all. It’s better to go home and hold the baby!”

Hearing what Liu Xiu said, those who held the idea of ​​​​retreating looked a little embarrassed, lowered their heads and said nothing. After all, the lord has already decided, even if they want to object, they will not be able to do it, and some are provoked. Bloody.

After Liu Xiu finished speaking, he paused for a while before continuing: "Having said this, I don't want to say anything more. If anyone dares to say those spineless and depressing words again, affecting everyone's mood, or even shaking the morale of the army, I, Liu Xiu, will Xiuya will never be lenient and will all engage in military law!"

When Liu Xiu said he was here, someone outside happened to report that a few people who were similar to the other party were caught spreading rumors in the military camp in an attempt to weaken the morale of the army. Liu Xiu didn't ask any questions and just had people drag him out and beat him to death with sticks as a warning to others.

When everyone saw Liu Xiu's behavior, they didn't dare to say anything like retreating. There was a moment of silence in the tent. After all, Liu Xiu was usually quite gentle and rarely used such direct and violent methods as he did today. , more of convincing people with reason.

Liu Xiu did this to scare everyone. After all, he had just said that he was going to retreat, and there were more than one or two people who made those depressing remarks. He used heavy codes at extraordinary times, so as to suppress those who had evil intentions and wanted to escape, so as not to cause trouble at the critical moment. trouble.

Han Yu was very satisfied with Liu Xiu's handling and attitude. With the support of Liu Xiu's firm attitude, he could command without worries and lead his sergeants to fight in the front.

"Okay, let's not discuss the issue of whether to fight or not now. I have already decided on this issue. Let's talk about how to deal with the enemy's attack and defend Yiyang City!" Liu Xiu said and looked at Han Yu.

"Xiuqi, you are familiar with the art of war, and you have fought against the enemy and won several battles. You are the most experienced in this regard. Tell me what you think." Liu Xiu first asked Han Yu's views and opinions. It is impossible for him not to worry about the enemy's attack. Seeing Han Yu so calm and not taking the enemy's upcoming full-scale attack seriously, he was infected by Han Yu and became much calmer, as if this was just an ordinary thing. In this critical moment, they no longer care about the suspicion and grudges of the past, and the two of them trust each other a lot.

Han Yu already had some ideas in his mind, but in the matter of military strategy, if one wanted to defeat a larger force with a smaller one, the key was to take the enemy by surprise. He could not fully trust those present, so he only told them his general ideas. He did not mention anything confidential, and even deliberately mentioned some ideas to mislead those present. However, no matter who he hid it from, Han Yu certainly could not hide it from Liu Xiu.
