Chapter 561 Qixi Festival, along the Anhui River

If Liu Ye on weekdays, he might be polite with Yang Hong to maintain a good relationship between colleagues.

But now things are urgent, and he has no time to pay attention to Yang Hong, so he directly clasped his fists at Liu Xun and said:

"General, you can't drink any more.

I have important things to report to the general!”

Liu Xun was drinking happily, and when he saw Liu Ye's serious look, he felt a little displeased.

"What's the point?

Could it be that Yuan Shu called him?"

Liu Ye shook his head with a serious expression:

"No, it's because Yuan Shu didn't call that this matter is even more strange.

Yuan Shu sent elite troops to attack Wancheng. Even if he could not capture the city for a while, he should have a feint attack several times to see the reality of our army.

The enemy camp is quiet now, without any movement at all, and this is too abnormal.

In my opinion, Yuan Shu must have conspired to seize Wancheng.

The general needs to carefully plan the strategy to defend the city!"

Yu Fan sat in his seat without showing any expression and drank wine, feeling a little admiration for Liu Ye.

He thought to himself that although Liu Ye was not sure what Yuan Shu’s specific plan was, he could identify imminent dangers and respond actively, and Liu Ziyang was already worthy of being a wise man.

Liu Xun is a person with a soft ear and is easily guided.

If Liu Ye really persuades him and strengthens his defense against Wancheng, then the lord's actions will inevitably be greatly hindered tonight.

Thinking of this, Yu Fan put down his wine glass and laughed loudly:

"Didn't Yuan Shu attack once before, but was scared away by Mr. Ziyang's thunderbolt car.

In my opinion, with Mr. Ziyang's powerful weapon to defend the city, Anhui City is as solid as a soup!

Yuan Shu must have no choice but to attack the city."

After hearing Yu Fan's words, Liu Ye looked at him in disbelief and said:

"Mr. Zhongxiang, why do you... think so?"

In Liu Ye's mind, there are actually not many people in Wancheng who understand it.

Liu Xun is a mediocre leader, Yang Hong is a flattering villain, and the rest are mediocre, such as Chen Lan, Lei Bo, Li Feng, and Le Jijiu.

Only Yu Fan and Wei Kai have some real talents and knowledge. With Yu Fan's insight, he shouldn't say such brainless words.

If Yuan Shu is really a coward who is afraid of difficulties, how could he make the reputation of the world's number one general?

As a fence-bearer, Yang Hong was happily drinking and said to Yu Fan at the top of his voice:

“What Mr. Zhongxiang said makes sense!

As long as our army strictly guards the city and refuses to fight, even if Yuan Shu has thousands of conspiracies and tricks, it will be useless!

Could it be that Yuan Shu can still grow wings and fly in from the sky?"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, and they all thought what Yang Hong said made sense.

Yang Hong also thought he was very humorous and raised his glass to Liu Ye with some satisfaction:

"Mr. Ziyang has worked hard to inspect the city defense every day, but some things are too much, so you still have to rest when it's time to rest.

Come on, I wish you this cup.”

Liu Ye completely ignored Yang Hong and had no intention of drinking with him.

He said to Liu Xun with a little anxious voice:

"General, Yuan Shu should not be underestimated. You must be cautious!"

After listening to Liu Ye's persuasion, Wei Kai put down his wine glass and spoke to Liu Xun:

“What Mr. Ziyang said is not without reason.

Defending the city is a big deal, so it is better to trust that it has something than to trust that it has nothing.

The general should indeed arrange city defenses to avoid Yuan Shu's sneak attack."

As a big troll, Yu Fan continued to retort:

"Just! Wancheng is as solid as a soup!

How can you mess up your own way and disrupt the morale of the army?!"

Originally, the banquet was very good, Yu Fan and Yang Hong stood on the same front, arguing with Liu Ye and Wei Kai, which made Liu Xun feel a little overwhelmed.

"Okay! Stop talking about it!"

Liu Xun slapped the wine glass on the table and said:

"Today, let Chen Lan, Lei Bo, Li Feng and Le lead five thousand elite troops to guard the four gates closely.

With 20,000 elite soldiers guarding him, even if Yuan Shu attacks the city at night, he doesn’t have to be afraid.

I'll talk about anything until tomorrow morning!

Military advisor, since you don’t want to sit down and drink, go and arrange this matter.”

Liu Ye knew that he was disturbing Liu Xun's drunkenness and aroused his dissatisfaction.

He bowed to Liu Xun slightly:

"I understand."

After saying that, he withdrew from the main hall and summoned four generals to deploy the matter of defending the city.

Now Liu Ye has no other good idea, so he can only urge a few generals to defend the city well.

I hope I can be safe tonight. I must advise General Liu to strictly investigate the spies in the city in the morning and not allow Yuan Shu to find an opportunity to break through Wancheng from within.

After Liu Ye withdrew, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Yu Fan's mouth.

It is true that Liu Ziyang is indeed a great talent, but Liu Xun, whom he assisted, is really a mediocre person who cannot support the wall and cannot listen to the good words at all.

...

Night falls and lights are on.

The banks of the Wanshui River during the Chinese Valentine's Day are very lively. Countless people gather in the squares of the commercial street, and all kinds of hawking sounds are endless.

Thanks to Yuan Shu's reputation for benevolence for the people spread all over the world, the people of Wancheng were not afraid of Yuan Shu's army outside the city.

Even if Yuan Shu's army captured Wancheng, his army would have strict military discipline and would not violate the people.

Therefore, the lives of the people were not affected. As usual, they came to the Wanshui River with great enthusiasm to enjoy the scenery as they were every year.

The pleasure boats on the Anhui River are now gathered near the square, and there is a large ornate decorative boat in the water opposite the square.

There is a circular stage on the boat, which is the stage for the young ladies and ladies of Wancheng to show their talents tonight.

Many young men from aristocratic families who were riding in small boats gathered around the stage, looking forward to the performance on the boat.

Yuan Shu asked the young man in the pleasure boat:

"Brother, are there any small boats on your pleasure boat? I want to drive the small boat to see the performance nearby."

What the young man in Huafang is doing is the Wanshui business, so how can he be unfamiliar with the annual Chinese Valentine's Day?

He smiled enthusiastically at Yuan Shu:

"The young master needs a small boat, so our pleasure boat will certainly provide the best service."

He asked an experienced shipman to drive a small boat and sent Yuan Shu and Xiao Qiao to the closest location to the central ship.

There is a low table in the middle of the boat filled with exquisite refreshments and fruits, as well as two pots of fruit tea.

Yuan Shu and Xiao Qiao sat opposite each other, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the dim lights on the water, and eating delicious food in their mouths, feeling very comfortable.

Xiao Qiao said to Yuan Shu happily:

"Young Master Lu, it feels great to watch the performance like this!"

Yuan Shu nodded in agreement and said to Xiao Qiao:

"We can only see your sister's performance when we are closer to the stage.

Come on, eat another piece of fruit…”

From ancient times to the present, as long as you are willing to spend money, you will always enjoy enjoyment that is superior to ordinary people.

If you don’t have money, the Anhui River is just Anhui River. Just like the people of Anhui City, they can only squeeze on the shore and look at the fun in the middle of the water from afar.
