I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 68
Everyone in Zhao Yun woke up slowly, as if they were in a big dream, and they heard that Li Yu was guarding him for three hours, and they were immediately ashamed.

During the free time here, the sky was already slightly bright, and by the early morning light, a fast horse galloped to the foot of Kuaiji City.

The soldier on horseback was holding a plea token for help, and the general guarding the city, Wang Deru, looked at it hastily, so he didn't dare to stop him.

The cavalry soldiers rushed all the way to the county guard's mansion, where Li Yu was.

"Report~ My lords, the villain came to Kuaiji to ask for help under the order of Lord Meng, the governor of Lujiang County."

The soldier knelt down and said anxiously, and then handed over a letter asking for help to Zhao Hongming.

Where did Zhao Hongming dare to look, even if he dared to look, he would not dare to rush to support it with the help of less than 2000 water transport sailors in his hands.

Zhao Hongming knew it well, so he simply handed over the request for help to Li Yu.

Li Yu knew that the situation was urgent, and after hastily reading the contents of the letter, his face suddenly became a little weird.

Unexpectedly, the Yue people and the remnants of the Chu State were so proactive that they split into two groups and attacked the two counties at the same time.

Fortunately, Li Yu kept a hand, and had already arranged for Li Cunxiao to take 5000 troops to Lujiang County.

Even if, as the letter said, there are [-] to [-] rebels, with Li Cunxiao's strength, as long as he doesn't go out of the city stupidly, he can think about it for a while.

Li Yu casually handed the letter to Chen Qingzhi, before he said, "What do you think Ziyun should do?"

Chen Qingzhi looked at it hastily, and then responded: "Master Hou, you still have the foresight. If you hadn't asked General Li to bring an army to Lujiang County in advance, I am afraid that Lujiang has fallen at this time, and the subordinates admire it."

As soon as the words fell, several people around, including Zhang Liang, all nodded in praise.

Seeing this, Li Yu felt inexplicably relieved, and also a little secretly happy, so a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

However, only Li Yu knew the truth, and no one else could verify it.

Being praised by these great people in front of him, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He glanced at the crowd and saw that their expressions were different. Then he coughed quickly, waved his hands in a serious voice, and said:

"Hey, it's just a small way to make arrangements in advance, but I don't deserve such praise from you."

After speaking, Li Yu looked at the crowd and said, "Let's talk about how to rescue Lujiang County now."

Everyone pondered for a moment, and then Chen Qingzhi said: "If the enemy army really has [-] to [-] people, and there are more than [-] well-armed Xiang family troops among them, our army really can't shake it."

Undeniable, Zhang Liang couldn't help but nodded, and said, "Liang has a plan, but it's a bit difficult to achieve."

Hearing Zhang Liang speak, Li Yu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking: "Zifang, come soon, whether it can be achieved, we will discuss it later."

Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows and said, "There is a saying in the art of war: a pack of wolves seek rebellion, divide and eat.

Now, when the rebels are besieging Lujiang, if they can't attack for a long time, they will be impatient. Our army only needs to find an opportunity to divide them, and they will be defeated one by one. "

As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, Chen Qingzhi frowned and said, "Although this is said, it is unrealistic. Not to mention the [-] to [-] enemy troops, just how to divide the enemy army is a big problem. As far as I know, There are no mountains, forests or rivers around Lujiang City, only a few tens of miles to the north, there is Poyang Lake."

Zhang Liang didn't mind other people's questioning, so he said, "General Ziyun's words are right, if Liang wants to use Lujiang City as a bait, what should you do?"

Chen Qingzhi was surprised when he heard the words, and then he was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Master Zifang, do you want to take advantage of the rebels' eagerness to be unable to attack for a long time, and come out and catch thieves?"

Zhang Liang smiled slightly like a gentleman, then nodded lightly, and said, "Exactly."

A rough look at the conversation between the two seems to be feasible, but after careful consideration, I feel that there are many difficulties in it.

Li Yu couldn't help frowning, and asked a question: "But how can we let the friendly troops in the city know our thoughts, and how can we coordinate the defenders in the city to cooperate with our army?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang shook his head and said, "This is exactly why Liang said earlier that it was difficult to achieve."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help but fell into a dilemma. The theory was indeed feasible, but it was difficult to achieve in practice.

Everyone pondered for a long time, Liu Bang suddenly slapped his thigh, and said: "Why bother, Lord Hou, if you bring all the crossbows used to break the door with you, those rebels will definitely flee."

……

Everyone thought that Liu Bang had some good idea, but it was just that, they couldn't help shaking their heads and waving their hands, saying that it would not work.

Liu Bang still felt that his method was feasible, so he opened his mouth to argue: "Why doesn't it work? Compared with the strategy of closing the door to catch thieves, I think this is more reliable..."

After speaking, seeing the gazes of the crowd, I couldn't help but feel a little weak, and my voice became smaller and smaller.

At this moment, Zhao Hongming, the prefect of Kuaiji, suddenly said, "After this brother Liu reminded me, the officer suddenly thought of a way."

Li Yu looked at the crowd and was happy to listen in. Anyway, he couldn't think of any good way for a while.

Then he gave Zhao Hongming an encouraging look, and said: "Master Zhao has any ingenious plan, let's talk about it, let's discuss it."

Then Zhao Hongming cupped his hands and said: "Your official used to be a water transport sailor. When the river was first opened, there were many water thieves on the south bank of the river. However, the number of ships transporting salt and grain was huge and the trips were frequent. I thought of a way..."

"What method? What does it have to do with rescuing Lujiang County?"

Listening to Zhao Hongming's clichés, and he missed the point, Liu Bang felt disdainful and said: It's not as good as the pavilion chief's plan of attacking with a continuous crossbow.

Because of his opinions, Liu Bang was indignant, so he couldn't help interrupting and asking.

Suddenly being interrupted by Liu Bang, Zhao Hongming couldn't help but blushed and froze on the spot...

Li Yu listened with great interest, so he said, "Master Zhao, please continue."

Only then did Zhao Hongming let out a long sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Well, I was really wordy just now."

……

"The sailors who escorted the salt and grain thought of using straw to pile up straw figures, then put the straw figures on the boat, and put clothes and hats on the straw figures, so as to scare the water thieves."

The voice was still undecided, but Li Yu's expression changed, and he thought of an allusion...

Then he opened his mouth and said: "Master Zhao is worthy of being the sheriff of a county. If this plan can be achieved, I will credit you for the first time."

Zhao Hongming just uttered a thought that flashed through his mind. He didn't expect Li Yu to be so respectful, so he was overjoyed and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Hou."

Li Yu waved his hand, but he said, "Master Zhao, I order you to collect the frame from the city, the more the better, and load the straw that was not used last year into the car."

"As ordered."

Watching Zhao Hongming leave, Li Yu said again: "Ziyun, go and buy pine oil and cloth from the residents of the city, as much as you have."

Although Chen Qingzhi was puzzled, he still left.

For a time, only Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Liu Bang and Li Yu were left in the county guard's mansion.

Liu Bang likes to be lively and curious. Hearing about Li Yu's arrangement, he didn't know much about it, so he asked: "Master Hou, you are straw for the frame and turpentine cloth. Are you planning to set fire?"

Li Yu grinned and did not answer Liu Bang's inquiry.

Seeing Zhang Liang's Eshou looking at him, Li Yu's expression suddenly changed, pretending to be inscrutable...
