In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

A fast horse flew into the city, kicking up a cloud of dust, and Xia Yu and Tian Shu, who were sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, saw the back of the flying horse through the window through the gap, Tian Shuqian drank the old wine , very leisurely said: "This is the third express report from the North this month."

Xia Yu's mouth also felt a little dry, and he wanted to drink something, but he glanced at the monotonous drinks on the table and gave up. To be honest, if he had more free time, he would definitely focus on making more drinks. It's a pity that he can't tolerate his idle thoughts now, and said: "I heard that the Yan army did not continue to march south after they were dispatched from Changdi, so it seems that Dr. Bochang made a fuss and urgently asked for reinforcements."

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Tian Shu's expression became a bit more interesting, and he moved closer to Xia Yu and said, "Ayu, do you have any ideas on how to fight Yan Jun? Tell me."

Xia Yu smiled at Tian Shu, beckoned for Tian Shu to come forward, but when Tian Shu put his ear close to him, he yelled, "I won't tell you!"

Tian Shu was so shocked that his ears were buzzing, he rubbed his ears complaining again and again, and said, "If you don't say it, don't say it, why are you making fun of people!"

At this moment, Tian Xiang climbed up to the second floor, sweating profusely, only heard the sound of going upstairs, saw Xia Yu and Tian Shu and said, "You two ancestors, are you still here for fun? Follow me to the executive government, the army of Yan has gone south to cross the Jishui River, and they are about to come to Bochang!"

Xia Yu and Tian Shu's expressions changed, they hurriedly got up and followed Tian Xiang downstairs to the carriage and jumped straight to the government office.

When we arrived at the executive hall, many government officials were already there, but the number of people was not too large. It was not like the Grand Court where almost all the nobles and dignitaries came. At this time, most of the people gathered here were from the important positions When the officials saw Tian Xiang bringing Xia Yu and Tian Shu in, Tian Xiang, the governing officer, waved his hand to signal his son to sit down and keep silent.

Tian Xiang understood, and sat down with Xia Yu and Tian Shu according to their ranks. On the other side, Tian Chang motioned to a small official to continue reading the military newspaper sent by the Northland just now:

"After the heavy snowfall, the Jishui River froze, and the ice was thick enough to carry chariots. Ten days ago, the scouts saw that the Yan army from inside and outside Changdi City left the city and marched towards our Bochang City. Our soldiers in Bochang City are weak and difficult to defend for a long time. Send reinforcements, or Bochang will be in danger."

Tian Chang glanced at the people in the hall, and said: "You are all sages in our Tian clan, and there are no outsiders here today. You don't need those vain rituals. How should you deal with this situation? Do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

As soon as the question "Is there a strategy to retreat from the enemy" came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help turning their eyes to Xia Yu, as if they were expecting him to stand up and say something.Sometimes things are like this. Saying a thousand words and ten thousand defeats in practice, Xia Yu's defeat of the Vietnamese army, while talking and laughing, defeated the hundred thousand elite of the world's powerful country with less victories and more. It is very direct that when the Qi State mentioned military matters, they couldn't help but think of Xia Yu.

At this time, Tian Xu, who had been very quiet all this time, bowed his hand and said the unspoken words for everyone, saying: "You must think that if you talk about military matters, you should ask Xia Yu Shaobao."

Tian Chang's gaze turned to Xia Yu, because Xia Yu's title had been promoted, so now Xia Yu's seat is not so far back, next to Tian Xiang, and Tian Xiang couldn't help lowering his head when he heard the army report just now, asking Xia Yu's opinion on Yan's army going south.Because of his low voice, he unconsciously leaned a little closer. Seeing this scene in Tian Chang's eyes, he immediately thought of what the old grand master Tian Biao said to him about intentionally matching Tian Xiang and Xia Yu.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Tian Chang said, "What does Shaobao think about this Yan army going south?"

Hearing the title "Shaobao", Xia Yu couldn't react for a moment, and was stunned for a moment before remembering that he was newly promoted as "Shaobao". I went to Bochang to see the military appearance of the Yan army, but judging from the military newspaper of the national government, I dare to say that the commander of the Yan army is incompetent."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was slightly surprised, Tian Chang looked thoughtful, and said: "The Yan army is led by the Lord Yan personally."

Xia Yu said very meaninglessly: "Anyone can be a king as long as he has the right belly, but a good general does not depend on having a good belly."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard these words. Tian Shu was sitting far away because his title was not as high as Xia Yu and Tian Xianggao. When he heard Xia Yu's words, he had the urge to cover his face. After getting along with each other for a long time, Tian Shu knew that Xia Yu was talented. He is very tall and straightforward, but in some places he is miraculously short. Tian Xiang couldn't help tugging on Xia Yu's sleeve, thinking: You boy, you can't even tell the truth. Say it so openly.

Although Tian's activities were usurping the throne and treason, he was like many fake scholars in later generations who were full of benevolence, morality, men, thieves and women. So Xia Yu's big truth that "anyone can be a king as long as he has the right belly" is really not something that ordinary people dare to say.

At this time, Tian Chang's face was not filled with joy or anger, but he was thinking differently inside. It was strange to say that when Tian Biao had not mentioned that he wanted to match Tian Xiang and Xia Yu, Tian Chang was not at ease with what he thought of this young military genius. , but at this time I had the idea that this young man might be my "son" in the future, and then listened to the "rebellious" words, but I was a little proud that my family really had the guts, so Tian Changfei didn't Angry, he smiled instead, and said, "According to what you said, this Yan Guojun is not in charge of the army properly?"

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Of course it's not appropriate! If the King of Yan has a little bit of military talent, he should know that the so-called war opportunities are often fleeting, and the more people can't stop Linzi for a long time. At this time, even if the Yan army goes south, it can't be the first to attack. Linzi will not have any major defeats. When the Yue people are defeated, if the king of the Yan Kingdom knows how to fight, he should take advantage of the battle between our army and the Yue army. However, they are sticking to Changdi. At present, more than a month has passed, our army has rested and reorganized, we have the power of a great victory, our morale is high, and we are not tired of fighting for a long time. If you don't know when to advance and when to retreat, isn't it wrong to command your troops?"

Xia Yu's analysis was well-founded, and everyone in the hall nodded unconsciously. Tian Chang also nodded and smiled when he heard it, and said, "I have Shaobao in Qi State, which is better than a million troops!"

As soon as Tian Chang's words came out, everyone also praised them one after another. At this time, Tian Chang, amidst the praises of the people, took out a scroll of silk scripts that had been written from the table in front of him, and ordered the officer in charge of the palace to announce the general order of the country.

The executive officer bowed to accept the silk book, unfolded it in the unique tone of announcing orders, and said loudly: "Today, the people of Yan have committed crimes in the south, plundered our land, and humiliated our people. Listen to the announcement."

Xia Yu and Tian Shu left their seats to worship in the hall and listened to Xuan and said together: "I listen to Xuan."

The executive officer announced: "I worship the doctor Tian Shu as the general who will retire from Yan. He will lead [-] troops and go north today."

Tian Shu was stunned.

The executive followed the general order of the Xuanguo Mansion and said: "Worship Shaobao as the official, and lead the Jixia Academy."

Xia Yu was also stunned.
