The protagonist of the anti-routine of the world

Chapter 440 Thinking about Countermeasures

"Sir, have you heard the news? Wang Mang has sent millions of troops to encircle and suppress us." Liu Xiu immediately rushed to Li Mo's place to discuss countermeasures with him after receiving the news of the imperial court's dispatch of troops.

Liu Yan was sent out by Liu Xuan to perform a mission, and he would not be able to return for a while. Under such circumstances, the only person Liu Xiu could rely on now was Li Mo.

"Sir, what should we do now? Once the imperial army arrives, all of us will die!"

"Don't worry, Liu Xiu, I already know about this."

Li Mo patted Liu Xiu's shoulder with his hands to calm him down.

Wang Mang actually sent an army of one million to deal with the Green Forest Army, which Li Mo did not expect. Using an army of one million to deal with the Green Forest Army really feels like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

However, after thinking that Wang Mang is a time traveler, Li Mo felt that it was reasonable for Wang Mang to do so. If he knew what his biggest threat was, he would definitely eliminate it at all costs!
"This Wang Mang really doesn't leave any way out for others."

Li Mo sighed helplessly, Wang Mang should have noticed something, that's why he was so desperate to wipe out the Green Forest Army.

"What should we do now?"

Although Liu Xiu asked himself this way, Li Mo didn't know how to answer him, and he didn't have any good ideas now.

The number of troops sent by the imperial court this time is almost crushing the Green Forest Army, which cannot be reversed by one or two clever tricks by Li Mo.

"Bring me the map!"

Although the current situation is very serious, Li Mo can't give up easily, he intends to bite the bullet and continue to think of a solution.

Spreading the map on the table, Li Mo looked at the map carefully, thinking of ways to resist the imperial army in his mind.

While Li Mo was thinking of a solution, Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan sent someone to inform Liu Xiu that he had been appointed as a partial general and asked him to lead his troops to Kunyang to defend the city immediately.

"What? Let me go to Kunyang to defend the city? How many soldiers and horses did His Majesty give us?" Liu Xiu asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty allocated three thousand elite soldiers to General Liu. I hope that the general will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations and guard Kunyang City well." Liu Xuan's envoy said according to the script.

Liu Xiu was stunned when he heard that Liu Xuan only gave him three thousand soldiers.

Kunyang is the frontier of the area they currently control. Wang Mang's army of one million will be the first to attack. How can he resist the army of one million from the imperial court with three thousand soldiers and horses?
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Liu Xuan simply wanted him to die on purpose!

"Where is Your Majesty? I want to see Your Majesty!"

Not reconciled, Liu Xiu wanted to ask Liu Xuan for an explanation, but soon soldiers blocked him.

"Your Majesty is out on a parade and is not in the palace for the time being. General Liu should lead the troops and set off as soon as possible."

"What kind of shit parade, I think he has already escaped? How could he give such an order to send me to die? Listen carefully, I won't go!" Liu Xiu roared angrily.

"General Liu, are you trying to violate the emperor's orders?"

Liu Xuan's envoy waved his hand, and immediately some soldiers drew out their weapons and aimed at Liu Xiu.

"According to His Majesty's will, if General Liu is unwilling to lead troops to guard Kunyang, he will be punished by running away. According to the military law, we can kill you here immediately!"

"Okay, I'll take over the appointment for Liu Xiu."

When Liu Xiu was arguing with the envoy, Li Mo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out to take over this impossible task for Liu Xiu.

"Sir, what are you doing? He just gave us [-] soldiers, how can we resist Wang Mang's million-dollar army?" Liu Xiu couldn't understand why Li Mo agreed.

Li Mo did not respond to Liu Xiu, but walked up to Liu Xuan's emissary.

"Please go back and tell Your Majesty that we will do our best to defend Kunyang City, and we will never disappoint Your Majesty's expectations of us."

After Li Mo finished speaking, he bent slightly towards Liu Xuan's envoy.

"Hmph, finally there is someone who understands current affairs."

The messenger snorted coldly, handed Liu Xuan's will to Li Mo, and then turned and left.

"Sir, I don't understand, why did you agree to them? How do I think this is all their conspiracy, they want to get rid of us in the name of letting us defend the city!"

"Liu Xiu, of course I know what you said, but we have no other choice but the next one. Don't you want to turn against them at this time? Before the enemy comes, if there is civil strife, we really have nothing to do." Here's the chance."

"However, even if we agree, with our small number of people, how can we withstand Wang Mang's so many people!" Liu Xiu sighed heavily.

"Don't worry, there is no unparalleled road. Although we seem to be in a desperate situation at this time, we may not know whether this matter will turn around." Li Mo said while rubbing his chin.

……

Not long after Liu Xuan's envoy left, Zhang Chong, who was sent by Li Mo to investigate the intelligence, came back.

Seeing Zhang Chong coming back, Li Mo immediately asked him about the situation.

"Have you found it? How many people are there in the army sent by the court?"

"I found it, sir. Although the number of troops sent by the court this time is claimed to be one million, it is actually only 42."

"Sure enough, in ancient wars, it was common to falsely report the number of people. However, these millions of people are not necessarily soldiers in combat. For such a large-scale army, the number of people who provide logistical support behind them is almost the same as the number of regular troops. Several times that, if the people who provide logistics are included, it can indeed be called a million-dollar army."

After Li Mo asked about playing Zhang Chong, he turned his head and smiled at Liu Xiu.

"Liu Xiu, don't be discouraged. Did you hear that? Wang Mang's army is only 42. This should be considered good news for us, right? The enemy's number has been reduced by more than half!"

"Sir, what's the difference between 100 million and 42? We only have 3000 people, so we can't beat them no matter what!" Liu Xiu said with a sad face. He didn't understand that things had come to this point. In the end, he was able to maintain such a good attitude.

"Okay, don't worry about it, let's think about how to deal with the next situation. Wang Mang's army is probably coming soon. We should seize the time to recruit soldiers. No matter how you say it, we must guard the army first. The people in Kunyang City were found."

"Understood, sir."

Liu Xiu lowered her head discouragedly. Although Li Mo still looked excited, he had completely lost confidence.
