"Cough, cough, cough!" In the prefect's mansion in Shouchun City, Xu Shu, who had been lying on the bed for three days, finally opened his eyes and coughed. "Water, water. Water!" Xu Shu As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt my mouth was dry.
"Master, Master, you are awake! Master is awake, Master is awake!" There were several maidservants beside Xu Shu who saw Xu Shu awake, and naturally yelled, and their cries were also heard by the soldiers outside the door. When it came to "Military Master wakes up, Military Master wakes up!" Xu Shu had been in a coma for three days. It can be said that the entire Shouchun City was full of panic.
"I'm here to serve the military division and pour water for the military division. Go and tell General Zhao Yun that the military division is awake!" One of the guards was calmer, so he gave the most pertinent solution, and the other two guards nodded and held their fists together. go.
Xu Shu, being served by two maidservants, sat up and drank water. He had been in a coma for three days and had not eaten anything except the soup and medicine fed by the maidservant, so when he drank the water, Xu Shu wished he could swallow the bowl as well. to go.
"Military division, the military division is awake!" After a while, a general in white armor rushed into the prefect's mansion in a hurry.
"General Zhao Yun!" The guard at the door recognized Zhao Yun and saluted Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun didn't bother to return the salute, and asked directly, "Is the military adviser in there? How is the situation now? Are you okay? Are you very weak?" !" Zhao Yun asked a lot of questions in one breath, leaving the guards at a loss for answers.
"Is it General Zilong? Come in!" Xu Shu's weak voice came from the master bedroom.
"Military division!" Hearing Xu Shu's summons, Zhao Yun hurried in. He had too many things to report.
"General Zhao Yun. How many days have I been in a coma?!" Xu Shu looked at the sky outside. It is natural to know that he has been in a coma for a long time. One must know that it was evening when he passed out, but now it was already noon, it was impossible to turn back the time, it would only be the next day.
"Military Master, Military Master, you have been in a coma for three days!" Zhao Yun explained to Xu Shu, since Zhao Yun came back from carrying Xu Shu that day, he passed out, and the doctors said Xu Shu was exhausted. The long-time battle had exhausted his mental energy, so he needed to rest and supplement. Fortunately, the injuries on his body were not serious, and the wounds were healed by the doctors, so Xu Shu was arranged in the prefect's mansion so that he could recover safely.
three days? Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, he thought he would sleep until the next day at most, but who would have thought that he would sleep for three days, that's not good! Xu Shu was shocked. Now that it's the third day, how is Shouchun City doing? You must know that Liu Bei did not rest for a moment when he attacked the city. Didn't he see that the 10,000 defenders were defeated in a few days! The casualties are simply huge.
"Where is Shouchun City? How is the city defense?" Xu Shu looked at Zhao Yun very nervously, for fear that Zhao Yun would say that Shouchun City had been destroyed!
"Military Master, Shouchun City is safe! In the past three days, Liu Bei's army has not attacked the city at all, so it must be resting!" Zhao Yun said something to reassure Xu Shu, and Xu Shu had the time to look around, this room? Isn't this place the Shouchun Prefect's Mansion? Since the prefect's mansion is all there, it means that Shou Chuncheng is still in the hands of Lu Bujun, and if Xu Shu really cares about it, it will cause chaos.
"Military commander, although Liu Bei's army has not attacked the city these days, he has laid out food and drink under the city gate and said that their lord Liu Bei is good! There is also a rumor in the city that I don't know where to get it, saying that our army rations are not enough. Now, say that we are going to give priority to the guards and let the common people starve to death!" Zhao Yun explained everything clearly in one breath.
As soon as Xu Shu heard Zhao Yun's retelling, he immediately stopped being indifferent. Just now, he came up again in a comfortable breath, "The strategy of attacking the heart, the strategy of attacking the heart!" Xu Shu directly saw the strategy of Pang Tong outside the city. Realizing that he has people defending the city, he knows that forcibly attacking the city will only bring him great harm, and may even lose the reputation of his master Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, so Pang Tong, Xu Shu's best friend, played a game of attacking the heart. The plan is to disintegrate Shouchun from the inside, so that the people in Shouchun will no longer have a heart of rebellion against Liu Bei's army, and even because of the problem of food and grass, the people will have a rebellious heart against Lu Bu's army, and it will be over. Once the millions of people in the city riot, even Xu Shu has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Waiting for others to be tied up in Liu Bei's army, and then Fengxian went to the city of birthday, it can be said that he Liu Bei can take Shouchun without spending a single soldier!
"How much food and grass is left in the city?!" Xu Shu has been in a coma for three days. Everything in Shouchun City is in the hands of Zhao Yun.
"The military division has persisted for less than half a month. Yun issued an order yesterday to order the food officials to reduce the supply of food and grass, and let the common people change from three buckets to two buckets! In this way, we can persist for a month." Zhao Yun told Xu Shu about his two According to the day, the reduction of food and grass should be to make Shouchun persist longer, but Xu Shu immediately scolded him when he heard the words.
"Zilong, you are confused, confused!" Xu Shu was really anxious, but Zhao Yun didn't understand, "Military division, if we don't control the food and grass, we won't be able to last for half a month, and Shouchun will still be breached by then!"
"Hey!" Xu Shu sighed. If the supply of food and grass is not reduced, at least he can last for half a month, but once the supply of food and grass is reduced, he may not be able to last for half a month. Pang Tong outside the city is Use the strategy of attacking the heart, saying that there is not enough food and grass in the city, and you are still here to reduce the food and grass of the people. Isn't this exactly what the enemy wants! In this way, there is no need for enemy propaganda, and I have killed myself. Once the people rebel, then Shouchun City will really be finished.
"Ahh! Military division, Zilong doesn't know, so please ask the military division to punish him!" Hearing Xu Shu's explanation, Zhao Yun was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat! He hurriedly knelt down on the ground, if he lost Shouchun City because of Zhao Yun, then Zhao Yun would really be sorry for the military advisor Xu Shu and the lord.
"General Zilong, get up! Those who don't know are innocent!" Xu Shu shook his head. How did he punish Zhao Yun? If Xu Shu didn't know Pang Tong well, he wouldn't know that this friend would do this to him. Zhao Yun could think of reducing food and grass to delay time. This is already commendable, and now that Shouchun City is employing people, how could he, Xu Shu, punish Zhao Yun for cutting off his own arm
"I hope there is still time to make amends, Zilong, hurry up and find the food delivery officer for me!" Xu Shu said to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was about to get up, but was stopped by Xu Shu "No, I'd better go in person Let's go" Xu Shu was about to struggle to stand up. But he passed out due to exhaustion, and now he has been in a coma for three days, and the energy in his body cannot be replenished, so he has no strength to stand up.
"Military teacher, you should rest well!" Zhao Yun comforted, but Xu Shu shook his head. If he doesn't get up now, he will wait for Shouchun City to break and become a prisoner of Liu Beijun outside the city. At that time, there will really be enough. Time to go rest!
"Zilong, get me up and take me to the food delivery officer! This is a military order." Xu Shu wanted to go in person, so that he could truly feel at ease.
"Obey!" Zhao Yun had no choice but to cup his fists. Although Zhao Yun was strong enough to help Xu Shu up. But he was afraid of hurting Xu Shu, so he could only move forward slowly. Fortunately, there was a carriage outside the prefect's mansion, and Xu Shu was floated into the carriage.
After a few incense sticks, the carriage finally arrived at the storage warehouse. As soon as it arrived, Xu Shu gave Zhao Yun an order to find the grain release officer for himself. People can't wait to get close.
"I don't know why the military commander is looking for a lower official!" A middle-aged man with a broken arm came in. This man was called Xie Wen. Don't look at his name so poetic, but this man is like a general. He is an old Bingzhou soldier who retired from the camp. One of his broken arms was cut off by the enemy when he broke through the siege in Xuzhou. It stands to reason that he should get a severance pay and Liangtian to retire from the army. , but Xie Wen is unwilling to leave the army, because there are things he wants in the army, and there are things he is familiar with in the army. There are many people in the army. They have broken arms or legs, so they can't go to the frontline troops. Disabled people can't be allowed to go into battle! So this problem was thrown into the hands of Liu Mang. If Liu Mang didn't want to hurt the hearts of these veterans, he let these veterans take up some civilian positions in the second-line troops and the garrison, such as food delivery officers, warehouse management, etc. , This will not only keep them from leaving the army, but also keep them from being idle.
And this Xie Wen is very satisfied with his official position as a food delivery officer. After coming to Shouchun with Liu Mang, Xie Wen got married in Shouchun, and married a commoner who came to Shouchun Liu Mang even sent a congratulatory gift, and Xie Wen got news some time ago that his mother-in-law was pregnant with his Xie Wen's seed, and his Xie Wen's Xie family was finally about to bloom and loose leaves.
"You are the food delivery officer of Shouchun!" While Xie Wen was looking at Xu Shu, Xu Shu was also looking at Xie Wen. This man is resolute, and this man has a broken arm. Naturally, he was Lu Bujun, who was once in the army. There are a lot of people with great strength, such people in Liu Mang's army. Xu Shu was very moved by Liu Mang's placement of these veterans at that time, because it not only solved the problem of the future life of these disabled soldiers, Although because of those fertile fields, these people will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of their lives, but being idle will drive them crazy.
"Yes, sir, Xie Wen, I have met the military advisor!" Xu Shu didn't know Xie Wen, but Xie Wen did know Xu Shu. Xu Shu was the number two figure in Liu Mang's army except Liu Mang. Xu Shu hadn't seen him for so long. over it.
"Xie Wen, are you the Xuzhou Army? Or the Bingzhou Army? Guangling Army? The Urban Management Army?!" Xu Shu asked the numbers of the Lu Bu Army camps one by one.
"Military division, Wen used to be a member of the Bingzhou army's trapped camp!" Xie Wen told Xu Shu the answer.
"Trapped in the camp? General Gao Shun!" Xu Shu nodded. The one trapped in the camp is the elite of Lu Bu's army, and it is no less inferior to the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. Although Liu Mang has the city management army and the black chess army in his hands, Liu Wei Mang also had to admit that none of his two groups of soldiers and horses was comparable to the trapped camp. If he really wanted to count, then the two routes of soldiers and horses would at most draw with the trapped camp. You must know that this is two against one. above the extent.
"Yes, Wen was once a hundred-man general under the command of General Gao Shun!" Xie Wen nodded. When he said he was in the camp, he had a proud look on his face. This look only appeared in the Bingzhou Army. This is a sense of identification with the army and a recognition of myself.
"Eight hundred soldiers in the battle, the ambition to be in the battle is lifeless!" Xu Shu was also very impressed, this is a strong army. "You are a man, and you are all good men in the camp!" Xu Shu was not stingy with his praise. In the Battle of Xuzhou, Lu Bujun was beaten like that, and many parts surrendered. Even Song Xian, Wei Xu and others betrayed Lv Bu, but there were only two groups of soldiers and horses who followed Lv Bu all the time, even if they knew it was a dead end, that would be falling into the camp and Bingzhou wolf riders. Xu Shu admired such important righteous men .
"Thank you for the compliment from the military advisor! It's not just these things that the military advisor came to find Wen!" Xie Wen was not stupid, and if he was stupid, he would not have been picked into the camp and had fought so many battles without dying.
"Hehe, Xie Wen, how do you think Marquis Wen treats you!" Xu Shu asked this question very abruptly.
Xie Wen was taken aback, but then replied, "My lord is very kind to me!" Xie Wen used to be a general and he couldn't find a better word to describe it.
"What about General Gao Shun? Where's His Royal Highness the King of Shu!?!" Xu Shu continued to ask.
"The general and His Highness are also very kind to me, really good!" One is his chief general, who teaches Xie Wen to fight on the battlefield. One of the people who can make Xie Wen survive is after Xie Wen lost an arm. It can make Xie Wen no longer recognize himself as a useless person, and can make him regain his self-confidence, so these two are good people for Xie Wen.
"What will happen to you if they are in danger!!" Xu Shu continued to ask
"The last general is willing to do his best! Don't let anyone hurt the general and His Highness." A trace of killing intent appeared in Xie Wen's eyes, and the original aura of charging in his heart reappeared, and even the title has changed. It's the end, but it's the end!
"What if it could be life-threatening!"
"Hehe, the military master also said that those who fall into the battle are mortal and not alive, do you think the military master is afraid of death!" Xie Wen is a person who is trapped in the camp, and the camp is the most damaged soldier in Lu Bu's army. Compared with Bingzhou Wolf cavalry will suffer even more damage in battle. Because Gao Shun sometimes sacrificed himself for one purpose, Liu Mang once fought side by side with this trapped camp. That time, when he cooperated with Lu Bu's army to take down Chen Deng's Guangling Army, Gao Shun almost killed him. All his own camps were involved, and Liu Mang almost died on the spot.
"Okay, he's a man!" Xu Shu nodded appreciatively, "General Xie Wen, I won't go around in circles with you anymore. Now Shouchun City has reached an emergency time. If Shouchun is lost, then our Yangzhou army will be killed." It's over, Yangzhou is over, and Lujiang, including Wenhou, can't be spared, so this Shouchun can't be lost, at least not now, but if you want Shouchun to settle down, you need to borrow something from the general!" said After Xu Shu looked at Xie Wen with twinkling eyes, he started to call General Xie Wen now, which meant that Xie Wen had already gained Xu Shu's respect.
"As long as the last general has it, the military adviser can take it at will!" Xie Wen said firmly.
"I'm sorry General Xie Wen, what I need is the general's head!" Xu Shu sighed in his heart and said to Xie Wen. In fact, he didn't want to do this either, but after Shouchun, Yangzhou, and the Lord's great cause, he had to do so. .
head! ! Xie Wen was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that what Xu Shu wanted to borrow was this thing, how could he borrow this thing? Can I get it back if I borrow it
"Why, the general is not willing!" Xu Shu maintained a low tone, even if Xie Wen was unwilling, Xu Shu had to borrow it. So Xu Shu is going to use the aggressive method first, if the aggressive method fails, he can only be brave!
"Hahahaha!" Xu Shu hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Xie Wen over there suddenly laughed out loud. His laughter was filled with a lot of emotion. It contained the fortitude of a soldier and the desolation of the battlefield. But more is a kind of indifference, and pride in being able to lend such a thing.
Yes is proud! Xu Shu didn't know if his perception was wrong, or if he had an illusion, this Xie Wen felt proud to him now! Is this crazy? What Xu Shu borrowed was the head, it was the head, the head was chopped off, there was no way out, and there was no way to go back. In fact, it was equivalent to beheading Xie Wen, but this Xie Wen was a kind of pride!
"Military Master, if you want Wen's head, come and get it!" Xu Shu didn't understand, he didn't understand the pride of being a soldier, the most admirable thing on the battlefield is not how many enemies you killed, but how much you let go of your robe. It is because the soldiers trapped in the camp have completely handed over their backs to their own robes, and they just charge forward. They believe that their robes will surely win their crotch. Under the enemy's attack, so that they can fight and fight wholeheartedly, Xie Wen is a member of the trapped camp, his glory is to die on the battlefield, the sharpest sword under the crotch of Pao Ze, but he But he couldn't wait until that time. Someone took a sharp sword from his crotch, and he gave his life, but he survived, only one arm was broken. It's okay to die in battle, so glorious, but he can only Leaving the trapped camp with tears in his eyes means that he will never have the chance to help Paoze with his sword in his crotch. This is a blow to Xie Wen, but he didn't expect that he would sacrifice again today! Not only is Paoze in the camp, but according to the military adviser, his death can stabilize Shouchun, stabilize Yangzhou, and even help the lord and the others in Lujiang. How can Xie Wen choose such a death? Can you not be proud!
"En!" Xu Shu also sighed, this is really a man, such a man should not die like this. As he said that, Xu Shu was about to shout loudly and let his subordinates suppress Xie Wen.
"Wait a minute, military advisor!" Xie Wen suddenly struggled.
"General Xie Wen, speak up if you have something to say!" Seeing Xie Wen's struggle, Xu Shu knew that Xie Wen was not regretful, but that he had something to say.
"Military Master, Wen Lai is alone, and has been struggling with the lord from Bingzhou to Shouchun. Even if Wen dies, Wen has no regrets. Wen has always wanted to die because of the lord, but Wen got married in Shouchun! She I have Wen's flesh and blood in my belly," Xie Wen said while looking at Xu Shu. "So military commander!
"I see, General Xie Wen, general, you can rest assured! My child, I will definitely let him be born safely. After he is born, not only will he have such a great father as the general, but he will also be my adoptive son, Xu Shu! As for Madam, If he is willing to remarry, Shu will definitely help her find a good family, if not, she will be Xu Shu's sister." Xu Shu is reassuring Xie Wen's heart. It was normal for the ancients to remarry after their husbands died at this time, and no one would say anything! In history, Cai Wenji, such a talented woman, also married several times.
"So, Wen can go with peace of mind!" Xie Wen knelt down in front of Xu Shu.
"Come on!" Xu Shu suddenly yelled, "Drag out this person who amended the military order without authorization and embezzled the military rations and beheaded!" After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes.
"Yes!" Two guards from outside the room came in, and grabbed Xie Wen who was kneeling on the ground. Xie Wen didn't struggle at all, but faced him with a smile, and said softly from his mouth Just a few words, you can tell from the lips, please, these three words!
Hearing that Xie Wen was dragged out and there was no movement in the hall, Xu Shu opened his eyes. He closed his eyes just now because he was afraid that he would give up killing Xie Wen in a moment of soft heart. It's over, Xu Shu had to close his eyes in order to make himself cold-blooded.
