Huang Yutan said with a smile when he heard the words: "So, General Hu is full of confidence in defending Hezhou City?"

Hu Zongmao leaned forward slightly, and said, "I don't know if sir understands the art of war?"

"It's just a rough brush and ink, and I don't know anything about the art of war." Huang Yutan said immediately.

Hu Zongmao laughed and said: "That's no wonder. If Mr. Huang knows the art of war, he should know that what I said is not boasting. If Mr. Huang is not in a hurry, I can take you to the top of the city to have a look. Look, this general has spent his whole life studying defensive techniques, and today's Hezhou City has been built by this general to be impenetrable, and according to the rules in the book of war, there is no flaw."

Huang Yutan nodded slightly, and said: "So that's the case. General Hu said so, so I can rest assured."

"Don't worry?" Hu Zongmao asked suspiciously, "What does Mr. Huang mean by that?"

"Actually, when I came this time, General Zhang was worried that General Huang would not be able to resist." Huang Yutan smiled and said, "General Zhang is stepping up the accumulation of food and grass, and recruiting soldiers. In order to prevent Chu Huan from attacking Jinzhou first, General Zhang also made a good deployment on the city defense."

Hu Zongmao said with a half-smile: "Zhang Shuyan's ability, I would have known it. If you talk about charging into the battle, he is really a strong general, but when it comes to defense, hehe...!" He didn't continue, but the meaning was already obvious , the implication is that Zhang Shuyan's ability to defend the city is far inferior to that of Hu Zongmao.

Huang Yutan smiled faintly, nodded and said: "Since General Hu said that, I think General Zhang will be very happy. General Zhang was worried that before the arrival of the reinforcements, Hezhou City would have fallen, so General Zhang's plan would be completely in vain." [

"Plan?" Hu Zongmao heard Huang Yutan's words, obviously Zhang Shuyan underestimated himself, and immediately felt a little unhappy, "What kind of plan can Zhang Shuyan have?"

Huang Yutan said: "Chu Huan sent troops from Shuoquan, and the long-distance invasion, coupled with the weather in Hezhou, must be exhausted. When they arrived at the city of Hezhou, they would not delay because of the lack of food and grass. They just wanted to attack as soon as possible. Going down to Hezhou City, the general's city is tightly guarded, and if Chu Huan's troops are unable to attack Hezhou City, their morale must be low and their fighting spirit will be low."

Hu Zongmao and He Kui looked at each other, frowned and asked, "Mr. Huang, what exactly does Zhang Shuyan want to do?"

"In fact, General Zhang's plan is also very simple." Huang Yutan said solemnly: "Chu Huan is going to attack Hezhou City with all his strength, and General Hu must stick to it. If the soldiers and horses are exhausted and the morale is low, General Zhang will lead his army to attack suddenly. At that time, General Hu will guard Hezhou City tightly, and General Zhang will lead the soldiers and horses of Jinzhou to fight against Chu Huan's troops!"

Hu Zongmao let out an "oh" and said with a smile, "You mean, Zhang Shuyan will lead troops to kill Chu Huan by surprise?"

"That's right." Huang Yutan said solemnly: "General Hu think about it, even if Chu Huan can't attack Hezhou City, he will just retreat to Shuoquan in the end. The center of Xiguan is in Shuoquan. Given time, he will be able to recover. On the contrary On Hezhou's side, after the First World War, it is not easy for the general to replenish his energy. Since this is the case, he must come up with a once-and-for-all solution so that Hezhou cannot always be under the threat of Chu Huan."

Hu Zongmao stroked his beard, stared at Huang Yutan and said, "Go ahead!"

"General Hu should understand that the one-and-done solution is to allow Chu Huan to return." Huang Yutan said slowly: "Chu Huan sent troops this time, almost with the best of the best. If Chu Huan's troops are wiped out in Hezhou, it will If he is thrown into the abyss, there will be no possibility for him to make a comeback...!"

Hu Zongmao stroked his beard and laughed: "The general understands that Zhang Shuyan sent troops to solve Chu Huan once and for all, so as to prevent future troubles forever?"

"That's right." Huang Yutan nodded and smiled, "That's why General Zhang gathered all the elites in his hands, and even mobilized the few elite cavalry in his own hands, just to kill Chu Huan by surprise. Annihilation!"

"General Zhang brought out all the soldiers and horses under his command. Aren't you worried that the mantis will catch the cicadas and the oriole will be behind?" Attacking Lanyi City in Jinzhou, wouldn't Lanyi City be defendable by soldiers?"

Huang Yutan shook his head and said: "There is no need to worry about this. Although Jinzhou is chaotic, there are not many rogues who really pose a threat. No matter which force has not yet reached the strength to attack the city. General Zhang has already said that he will attack the city in Lanzhou. A part of the army left in Yicheng is enough to deal with emergencies. What's more, as long as Chu Huan's troops are wiped out, the entire northwest will be in trouble again. Returning, it is not difficult to take down Lanyi City."

Hu Zongmao laughed loudly and clapped his hands, "Okay, okay, Zhang Shuyan really has a good plan. In the past, I underestimated Zhang Shuyan, thinking that he would only charge forward. It turns out that this strategy is not inferior to others!"

Huang Yutan heard that Hu Zongmao's tone was a bit strange, and asked, "Does General Hu agree with General Zhang's plan?"

Hu Zongmao laughed and said: "Zhang Shuyan's calculation is really good. I will lead my troops to defend here. Although I am confident that Chu Huan will never break through Hezhou City, but when the time comes, the headquarters will definitely lose a lot. And Chu Huan Over there, there must be loss of soldiers and loss of generals, and when both sides are injured here, General Zhang swoops in and kills him to reap the merits of the battle... Hehe, Mr. Huang, did Zhang Shuyan play this wishful thinking?" [

Huang Yutan frowned, and said: "General Hu, this is not a good thing to say. General Zhang and you raised troops at the same time to oppose Chu Huan's tyranny. Your department and our department are allies. Our common enemy can only be Chu Huan, and our ultimate goal is to work together to annihilate Chu Huan's main force...!" After a pause, he said patiently: "It is true that your ministry will stick to Hezhou City and fight against the Chu tribe , will inevitably cause a lot of losses, but the general cannot deny that even if Chu Huan is injured in the siege, he has nearly [-] elite soldiers under his command. Even if morale is low, it is still a hard nut to crack. It may be possible to defend Hezhou City, but it is difficult to annihilate the Chu tribe."

When Hu Zongmao heard the words, he felt a little unhappy. At this time, he didn't care that Huang Yutan was a famous scholar in the Northwest, so he just snorted and didn't answer.

"General, it is precisely because General Zhang knows that your troops will suffer huge losses in defending the city, so he kindly sent me here to tell the general that when our troops arrive, your troops can rest, and our troops will definitely go all out. Even if the entire army is wiped out, we must fight Chu Huan." Huang Yutan looked dignified, and sighed softly: "This is a plan that General Zhang drew up after careful consideration. General Zhang also said that even if our army is wiped out, the Chu army will definitely be exhausted, and if our army is wiped out by then, your army can send troops to clean up the mess."

Hu Zongmao smiled faintly: "What else did Zhang Shuyan say?"

"General Zhang only hopes that General Hu will put the overall situation first and can act according to the plan." Huang Yutan cupped his hands, "It's up to the general to decide how to make a decision!"

Hu Zongmao was about to speak, but He Kui said, "Mr. Huang, is General Zhang really planning this?"

"But it is so!" Huang Yutan nodded and said, "Chu Huan is immortal, the northwest is restless, and...!" With a wry smile and a sigh, he said, "General Zhang should also know that General Dongfang has a niece who is married It was given to General Zhang’s second son. They are relatives of his son and daughter. General Dongfang was killed in Shuoquan. General Zhang concluded that Chu Huan was behind it. To comfort the spirit of General Dongfang!"

He Kui nodded and said: "Since that's the case, our department will naturally cooperate with General Zhang's plan. Mr. Huang is right. Our enemy is Chu Huan. The big battle is imminent. Your two departments must not hurt our peace."

Hu Zongmao frowned, and wanted to speak, but He Kui winked at him calmly, Hu Zongmao was choking on his words, but after all he endured and spoke.

Huang Yutan cupped his hands and said: "Since that's the case, then I will return to Jinzhou now and report the situation here to General Zhang. General Hu can rest assured that Jinzhou is already ready to go. As long as Hezhou City sticks to it for a few days, General Zhang will surely Lead your troops to help!" After saluting, he said, "I will take my leave now!"

Hu Zongmao said: "Mr. Huang has a smooth journey." He called someone to send Huang Yutan out of the city.

As soon as Huang Yutan left the house, Hu Zongmao looked at He Kui, very dissatisfied, and said, "Secretary He, how can you agree to such a thing? Can't you tell that Zhang Shuyan is trying to take advantage of the fire? He wants to wait until Chu Huan and I both lose , and then come here to grab the credit." Clenching his fists, he said bitterly: "When the time comes to annihilate Chu Huan, not only will he be the first in the list, but he will also be famous all over the world. Can't you see Zhang Shuyan's intentions?"

He Kui smiled faintly, and said: "General calm down, Zhang Shuyan's little trick, how can a lowly official not see it? But we don't need to refuse, at least Zhang Shuyan has a good sentence, with our troops, under the leadership of the general, Although it is possible to stick to Hezhou City and make Chu Huan return home, it is very difficult to destroy Chu Huan. Chu Huan is our confidant. He failed to attack the city and retreated to Shuoquan. Shuoquan is the center of Xiguan. However, he can regain his vitality, and we will inevitably suffer heavy losses after this battle. When Chu Huan makes a comeback, it will be in jeopardy, so this time we not only have to defend Hezhou City, but also must find an opportunity to wipe out Chu Huan's main force in Hezhou !"

Hu Zongmao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but hesitated for a while, and finally didn't say it.

"Since Zhang Shuyan took the initiative to fight, why should we ignore his good intentions." He Kui sneered and said, "Cranes and clams fight, and the fisherman wins. Let Zhang Shuyan fight and fight Chu Huan. Both of them are exhausted from fighting, and the general doesn't need to wait in the city, just lead his troops to kill, when the time comes, the merit will still belong to the general."

Hu Zongmao rolled his eyes, suddenly laughed, patted his head, and said: "I was really confused and almost missed a major event. Yes, since Zhang Shuyan can take advantage of the fire, why should we be polite to him? When the time comes, he and Chu Huan Exhausted, let's go to pick up the bargain at the end...!" Xiang He Kui sighed: "Old He, I am lucky to have you as a sensible person by my side, don't worry, if this battle is successful, I will never treat you badly!"— —
