Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Chapter 80 Xun Yu as Military Advisor
"It is our honor to follow such a benevolent and righteous lord. From now on, we will definitely go through fire and water to follow the lord..." Yuchi Gong and other generals said loyally.

"Report..."

At this time, Yuan Zigong strode in with a spear in his hand. There was still some blood on his face that had not been wiped clean, which made his face look like a kind of satisfaction after killing someone.

After Yuan Zigong came in, he immediately saluted to Wang Yu and said, "My lord, we have captured some tongues and interrogated them. Just in front of our army, about thirty miles away, is the main camp of the Yellow Turbans led by Xiang Yan."

"Also, the scouts just checked and found that the Yellow Turban camp stretched for more than ten miles, surrounding the city of Changsha. Moreover, the distance between each camp was very suitable, which greatly reduced the impact of the fire attack."

"Judging from the distribution of the camps, the Yellow Turban Army has about 150,000 soldiers, and their defense is extremely tight. A brute force attack is definitely not an option."

"Oh, a hundred and fifty thousand troops?"

After listening to Yuan Zigong's story, Wang Yu began to ponder. There were actually 150,000 Yellow Turbans outside Changsha City. No wonder they could surround the Han army.

Although Wang Yu knew that it would be best to use fire attack at this time, it also depended on the specific opponent. Facing an opponent like Xiang Yan, ordinary strategies were simply useless.

Therefore, Wang Yu immediately turned his attention to Xun Yu. This was the military advisor he had invited with great effort and established a good relationship with. Wang Yu did not want this guy to come to Changsha just to enjoy the scenery.

"Wen Ruo, the Yellow Turbans are powerful. Do you have any strategy to deal with them?" Wang Yu immediately asked Xun Yu.

Xun Yu smiled slightly upon hearing this, and immediately said: "Brother Tianyi has many capable people under his command, and he is also strong in both soldiers and horses. He has more than 2,000 cavalry troops, and they can fight ten enemies at once."

"Looking at the number of bandits, I think they are just ordinary bandits who don't know too much military secrets, so I just give a rough idea. Our army might as well rest and gather our strength before going to investigate."

Wang Yu was still a little disappointed with Xun Yu's answer. He thought Xun Yu could come up with different ideas, but unexpectedly, they were exactly the same as his.

However, he was able to say that it was already a huge improvement.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu slammed the table and said loudly: "Did you hear what the military advisor said just now? Ju Wuba, Li Cunxiao, Yuchi Gong, you should give orders. The army should rest and gather strength now. After the lunch break, the army will set out..."

After Wang Yu gave the order, he immediately winked at Ju Wuba and others.

"Brother Tianyi, you absolutely cannot do that. I dare not take on the role of military advisor." Xun Yu heard Wang Yu say this, so he dared not agree and said hurriedly.

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion in this era was several times larger than the original history, with as many as one million soldiers involved, the majesty of the Han Dynasty still existed.

People like Xun Yu, these ambitious people from aristocratic families, still have high hopes for the Han Dynasty and are determined to go to the court to rectify the government. Unless the court is really in trouble, they will find other ways to save the Han Dynasty through other means.

Just like Xun Yu in the original history, who defected to Cao Cao, he wanted to achieve his ideal goal of supporting the Han Dynasty by leveraging the power of Cao Cao, the warlord.

It can be said that while there was still a glimmer of hope in the Han Dynasty court, they would never surrender to others. After all, they were born into aristocratic families, so how could they choose to surrender to another family, even if the other family was also from an aristocratic family?

Wang Yu, who had been influenced by later culture and thought about the ways of the world every day, could naturally think of this, but Wang Yu, who was thick-skinned, simply turned a blind eye to it.

You do yours, I do mine, as long as my heart is there, it's all right. Just like the old saying goes, if you say something a thousand times, even if it's false, it will come true. This is what three people make a tiger.

Moreover, facing the eloquent and socially experienced Wang Yu, Xun Yu is still too immature.

Wang Yu said, "Wen Ruo can't do this. You and I both serve the current court. Although we brothers are commoners, we also know the meaning of loyalty and courage. Wen Ruo is a talented person and deserves the position of military advisor."

After stating his position, Wang Yu continued to strike while the iron was hot and said, "This journey is difficult and dangerous, and it is very likely that we will never return. If the soldiers knew that we have no military advisor in the army, I am afraid that they would be discouraged..."

"The great military advisor is Mr. Zifang, the lord's son. If we have the military advisor to assist us in this battle, the lord will surely be able to lead us to defeat Xiang Yan's hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops and spread the prestige of our Tianyi Camp..."

When Ju Wuba saw Wang Yu's expression, he understood it instantly and immediately began to use moral blackmail. This was also what Wang Yu taught him, specifically to deal with some humble gentlemen with high moral standards.

In his opinion, Xun Yu is such a person.

Yuchi Gong and others also noticed the look their lord gave them, but Ju Wuba spoke too fast. Before they could say anything, he had already said it, so they just followed his words.

It must be said that Ju Wuba's moral kidnapping was really a trick that made Xun Yu feel embarrassed. He said, "This..."

Seeing that Xun Yu was hesitant but did not object, Wang Yu immediately knew that there was a chance. With the attitude of taking action as soon as possible and building a relationship so that he could go further later, Wang Yu immediately stood up and looked at the generals beside him.

"Everyone will obey the order."

"I am here." Ju Wuba and others responded in unison!

"From today on, Mr. Wen Ruo in front of you is the military advisor of our Tianyi Camp. His words are my words. You should respect him as you would me. Anyone who disobeys will be punished like this!"

After Wang Yu finished saying this, he drew the sword from his waist. With a clang sound and a flash of cold light, he chopped off a corner of the table in front of him.

All the generals in the room were shocked, knowing that their lord had really gotten it, so they bowed down to the ground and said, "Military Advisor, please accept our greetings."

"Ah, this...!"

Xun Yu was completely confused, not knowing how things had suddenly turned out like this, but this time he did not object. After all, facing Wang Yu who trusted him so much, Xun Yu was deeply moved and had a little bit of the feeling of "a man will die for his friend".

"Generals, you can't do this. Please stand up quickly..."

But, no one listened.

Xun Yu sighed when he saw this, "Tian Yi just gave an order. My words are his words. You should respect me as you respect him. Don't you want to obey orders?"

Seeing Xun Yu say this, Ju Wuba and others knew that he had accepted the position of military advisor, and they immediately stood up, which made Xun Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
