Shouchun, County Governor's Office Conference Hall

"Yuanzhi, will Cao's army really come to attack Shouchun?" Jian Yong asked Xu Shu with a hint of worry.

"Yes, I'm afraid it's only in the next two days. Wei Zhengwei has already tried to interrogate Fan Jiang and Zhang Da. The detailed situation will be known later!" Xu Shu said calmly.

"It would be great if the third general was still in Shouchun. No matter how many Cao troops came, there was no need to be afraid... No, if the third general was still in the city, wouldn't there be no one to save the lord?" Jian Yong walked back and forth in the hall, muttering to himself.

Xu Shu looked at Jian Yong's slightly panicked look and said with a faint smile: "Jian Zhizhong, don't worry! Shouchun City will not be lost!"

"Ah... is that?" Jian Yong stopped and found that he was a little out of control. He said with apologetically: "It made Yuan Zhi laugh. By the way, what kind of tricks does Yuan Zhi have to retreat to the enemy?" Although Xu Shu was temporarily appointed as the chief military officer of Shouchun County, Jian Yong had not been with Xu Shu for a long time after all, and he did not know Xu Shu's talents very well, so he carefully used the word "retreat" the enemy.

"Xu already had some suggestions in his mind. After Wei Zhengwei interrogated Cao's army's detailed military information and combat plan, he could arrange a plan to defeat the enemy!" Xu Shu heard the concerns in Jian Yong's words, but he did not care at all and answered confidently.

"...It's all up to Yuan Zhi!" Jian Yong seemed to be infected by Xu Shu's confidence, and his heart was a little calmer, "I didn't expect that Fan Jiang, Zhang Da and the others would actually collude with the enemy Xiancheng! I wonder what happened to the lord and the others. Did the third general arrive in Runan safely to rescue the lord?"

"Join the army! I'm here!" Wei Yan stepped into the conference hall with great strides and said loudly.

When Xu Shu saw Wei Yan's expression, he knew that the result must have been found. He asked with a smile: "What did you ask?"

"Hehe... those two guys were pretending to be stubborn at first. After I chopped off Fan Jiang's finger with a knife, they immediately turned into two soft eggs. I interrogated the two soft eggs separately and told them who dared to tell a lie. I (hurriedly changed my words)... I cut them one finger. The two soft eggs all attacked them!" Wei Yan smiled and continued: "The total number of Cao's army who came to attack Shouchun this time was about 11,000, of which more than 4,000 cavalry were more than 4,000, and the rest were infantry. The Cao general who commanded the army was Zhang Liao, and another man named Jia Xu was to join the army. The strategy of cheating the city was thought of by Jia Xu."

"Jia Xu?!!!" Xu Shu frowned slightly and said softly. If he really had him joining the army, it would probably be difficult to deal with.

"It's him!" Jian Yong also said in surprise.

"Join the army, Jian Zhizhong, is this Jia Xu very good?" Wei Yan had never heard of Jia Xu, but when he saw Xu Shu and Jian Yong both seemed to care, he couldn't help but ask.

"Well! Jia Xu is a very outstanding person's wisdom. When he had not yet served Cao Cao and was still under Zhang Xiu's tent, he used tricks to help Zhang Xiu defeat Cao Cao several times." Xu Shu replied in a deep voice. He was studying around for several years, and had visited Wancheng twice during this period. He had heard of Jia Xu's deeds. With this person, he had to be more cautious in arranging the combat plan so as not to reveal clues and be seen through. Xu Shu thought to himself. "Wen Chang, ask if there are any plans for the city acquisition under Cao's army?"

"I've asked!" Wei Yan nodded and said quickly, "The Cao army team will sneak to the city tonight. They and Fan Jiang and Zhang Da agreed to seize Shouchun together at midnight tonight. At that time, the two dog thieves will spread rumors and cause trouble in the city, kill people and set fire, and then take advantage of the chaos to open the Xicheng Gate and let Cao army enter the city!"

Jian Yong took a breath of air and said in surprise: "If this is true, Shouchun will definitely be out of control. Fortunately, Yuanzhi, you have seen through Cao's army's treacherous plan."

"What should we do when joining the army? Do we just do it with a trick?" Wei Yan asked Xu Shu in an anxious tone but respectfully. Although Wei Yan is a very conceited person, he will still sincerely accept him whenever he meets someone who is better than him and who is good to him.

"Yeah! As Wen Zhang said, we will use our plan to defeat Cao's army tonight!" Xu Shu said with confidence and smiled lightly, "Wen Zhang, send someone to call Shu Zhi over. Let's arrange a plan to defeat the enemy with Jian Zhizhong."

"Okay!" Wei Yan left the hall and arranged for someone to invite Chen Jielai, who was patrolling the city, to participate in the matter.

"Yuan Zhi, do I need to use my plan to defeat the enemy?" Jian Yong asked with a hint of confusion.

"Haha, that's right!" Xu Shu said with a smile, "If you want to defeat the enemy, you really cannot do without the support of Jian Zhizhong! After a moment, Lord Jian will know what's going on!"

………………………………………

"The opportunity to break the enemy is tonight. Cao's army wants to attack Shouchun with a trick of deceiving the city, but now the strategy has been seen through by us. We can use this opportunity to defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop and ensure my Shouchun's safety. I have a complete plan in my heart, so I would like to help you!" Xu Shu said calmly and loudly.

"Leave the orders of the army (Yuan Zhi)!" Wei Yan, Chen Da, Jian Yong and the other two responded in unison.

"Okay! Jian Zhizhong, please help to move the people near the Xichengmen for the time being. Our army wants to borrow their houses for use. You can tell them that if the houses are damaged after the war, our army will compensate them at the price. In addition, please ask Jian Zhizhong to find more than 10 uninhabited places in the city..."

"No problem, I'll make arrangements immediately!" Jian Yong responded in a harmonious voice.

Xu Shu turned his gaze to Wei Yan again: "Wen Chang, go to the army to select 6,000 the most elite soldiers, and lie in ambush after entering the night..."

"Get orders!" Wei Yan responded with a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Zhi, you…………………”

…………………………………

"Join the army, if so, how should the other Cao troops who failed to enter the city deal with it?" Wei Yan asked with a little confusion after hearing Xu Shu's arrangement.

"Don't worry, there will naturally be military horses to deal with them. Wen Chang, I have three letters here. You can find a few fast horses to send them to Chengde Jieshi, Hefei Ganning and Tu Zhong Dai's troops, and order them to act as they say and do in my letter!" Xu Shu said calmly.

"Yes, join the army!"

………………………………………

At noon on the 28th day of the first lunar month, a fast horse galloped to the north gate of Hefei. The guards were about to stop him, but they saw the horse lifting a letter and shouting loudly: "Emergency military information in Shouchun City!"

Hearing this, the guards hurriedly made way...

A moment later, in the Hefei County Government, Gan Ning received Xu Shu's letter from Deng Zhi and said in a deep voice: "Bomiao, I have decided to lead Jinfan soldiers and another 1,500 soldiers to return to Shouchun to help Xu join the army to defeat Cao's army. The important task of defending Hefei will be given to you for the time being, but I can only leave you 500 soldiers!"

The young Deng Zhi's elegant face showed a hint of heroic spirit and said with a sigh: "Don't worry, with these 500 soldiers, I can ensure that Hefei is safe and sound within 3 days."

"Okay! Please Bomiao..."
