Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 42 Xu Shu came to vote
Wang Ping held the long saber tightly, his eyes became cautious, and his voice became low.

"Very well, you've finished attacking, now it's my turn!"

As he spoke, he swung his saber round, and with a sway of his figure, he charged towards Xing Daorong fiercely.

Everyone saw the flash of the saber, and Wang Ping's saber almost enveloped Xing Daorong.

The soldiers in the audience stopped calling, and were on the verge of breathing.

Cheng Huang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Wang Ping still had some reservations in the battle just now.

Xing Daorong's martial art is tough and fierce, while Wang Ping's martial arts is a combination of toughness and softness.

In terms of strength, he is inferior to Xing Daorong, but in terms of speed, he is much better than him.

Sure enough, after a while, Xing Daorong was exhausted.After one hundred moves, the defense was breached by Wang Ping, who held his throat with a long knife.

The soldiers immediately opened their mouths wide with expressions of disbelief.

Lost, the Lieutenant of the Chinese Army, who is known as the invincible Changsha County, and General Xing, who has the courage of all men, lost.

And it was lost in the hands of an unattractive, young boy.

"Are you convinced?" Wang Ping asked in a deep voice, pressing his long knife against Xing Daorong's throat.

Xing Daorong's face was flushed, and he lost to a Shao Nian in front of him after counting the soldiers. This is a big embarrassment!
However, I have spoken first, and then swore an oath, how can I go back on my word.

"Dangdang..."

The giant ax landed.

"If you lose, you lose. I have nothing to say. I will naturally keep my promise. You can choose [-] soldiers!" He said, throwing a token on the ground, turning around and walking towards the tent.

"General Xing wait a moment," Cheng Huang stepped forward, "Did the general forget the oath to go out with us?"

"Xing doesn't dare to forget, when he is going to go on an expedition, let me know, and I will come and wait for dispatch." While speaking, Xing Daorong had already walked away.

Cheng Huang came over, patted Wang Ping on the shoulder, and did not speak.But Wang Ping has already felt Cheng Huang's care and encouragement.

Between brothers, saying anything is superfluous, sometimes a look is enough.

Wang Ping's defeat of Xing Daorong made the soldiers feel awe, and they cooperated extremely well with Cheng Huang's choice.

It didn't take much time for the two of them to select [-] elite soldiers who could bow and ride well.After Cheng Huang gave an impassioned mobilization speech, he ordered the soldiers to go down to rest, and set off early tomorrow morning to go to Dongting Lake to suppress the bandits.

Back at the inn, the two saw a carriage parked not far from the inn.Cheng Huang smiled knowingly, and Ma Liang arrived.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the value of the horse-drawn carriage was not lower than that of the top luxury cars in the real world.Ordinary wealthy families simply cannot afford to buy or use a carriage.

Ma Liang's four-horse carriage may not be found much in the entire Changsha County.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the inn, he saw several swordsmen standing outside the inn lobby. They were Ma Liang's guards.

Walking into the lobby, Ma Liang had already greeted him. To Cheng Huang's surprise, there was another person standing with Ma Liang.

Dressed in a green robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, he looks extremely chic and handsome. He is exactly the counselor Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi he has dreamed of.

"Mr. Ji Chang, Mr. Yuan Zhi," Cheng Huang hastily saluted.The joy is beyond words.

Just kidding, this is Xu Shu, a super strategist!Once helped Liu Bei and defeated Cao Ren.

Who is Cao Ren?That is known as the number one defender of the Three Kingdoms.Being able to defeat Cao Ren shows Xu Shu's ability.

It can be said that the turning point of Liu Bei's life was not meeting Zhuge Liang, but Xu Shu's taking refuge.With Xu Shu, Da Er Liu began to win battles and barely gained a foothold.

Several people walked into the room, Cheng Huang hurriedly asked Xiao Er to bring good wine and food, and he wanted to treat these two talents well.

After sitting down, Cheng Huang clasped his hands and said, "Unexpectedly, Mr. Yuan Zhi also came, which made Huang feel panic, for fear that the reception will not be good!"

Xu Shu said indifferently: "The water bandits in Dongting have occupied Dongting for many years and robbed the engraving merchants in the past. There are too many things that are harmful to nature and reason, and the sky is already angry. As the saying goes, everyone should be punished if they get it, and the common people should do their best."

"Hehe, with the two gentlemen joining, why worry about the water bandits not being wiped out? Huang has already borrowed [-] elites from the prefect's office, and they should be handed over to the master for dispatch. This battle depends on the two gentlemen."

Xu Shu touched the mustache on his chin, "Brother Cheng, don't underestimate yourself. You should be the master of this battle, and the two of us should do our best to assist you."

With Xu Shu's promise, Cheng Huang's brows were filled with joy. "There are more than [-] pirates in Dongting, and we only have [-] elite. In terms of numbers, we have no advantage. Dare to ask Mr. Yuanzhi how to win this battle."

"The enemy is outnumbered, and the enemy is good at water warfare, and they have a geographical advantage. And Brother Cheng, you have just received soldiers, so you will definitely not be able to unite as one."

"The so-called good weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people. Our army's good location and people's harmony are also lost. If we want to win this battle, we must work hard around a strange word."

"Strange word," Cheng Huang, Ma Liang and Wang Ping all pricked up their ears.

"A surprise is a surprise. It means a dangerous move by soldiers, a sneak attack. Changsha County has not been effective in suppressing bandits for many years. Is it because the official troops are not strong enough? No."

"According to my estimation, there must be spies in the imperial army. Officials and bandits collude, and every move of the imperial army is under the control of the other party. If there are few soldiers to suppress the bandits, they will be killed by them. If they are too strong, the water will The bandits avoided fighting instead of fighting, and circled around in familiar terrain, so the court's troops returned without success many times."

Cheng Huang's heart skipped a beat, isn't the water bandit in Dongting fighting guerrilla warfare?This guerrilla warfare is indeed a painful thing.

But Xu Shu continued: "Since the enemy already knows our movements, why don't we use our tactics to show the enemy our weakness and lure the snake out of the hole."

"Lead the snake out of the hole, but the snake is big enough, and our strength is not enough to destroy it!" Wang Ping said.

"So let's use the same way and return to him. Don't come into direct contact with the enemy. If we can't fight, we will run away. It is best to lure the water bandits ashore. Then we will win the battle with the advantage of land warfare. If the enemy does not go ashore It doesn't matter, as long as the enemy comes out of the hole, we will send people to destroy their lair, and when the water bandits are homeless, they will inevitably become angry, then we will catch the opportunity."

This Xu Shu is worthy of being a top-notch historical counselor. When it comes to strategic deployment, he really has a set.

"On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly. A small mistake may lead to the defeat of the entire army. What we have to do is to mobilize the enemy and then look for opportunities."

"Okay," Cheng Huang applauded after listening to Xu Shu's explanation.In the dead situation where he had all the disadvantages, Xu Shu clarified the direction of the battle in a few words.

"Mr. Yuanzhi is indeed a great talent. The post of military adviser in this battle against bandits must be Mr. Yuanzhi!"

"Suppressing the water bandits is the work of the country, and the common people should go all out."
