"Report to the general, I sent an imperial envoy to King Huaishun, and King Zhishun arrived."

Everyone was laughing, and the gatekeepers came in to report.

Kong Youde was stunned: "Why did King Zhishun come together with the imperial envoy? It seems that something is a big deal."

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered his personal soldiers: "Oh? Please, please set up an incense table and prepare to accept the order."

After saying that, he led Shen Zhixiang, Jin Li and Zhuo Tai to welcome him.

He did not dare to be rude, not only because of the imperial envoy, but also because King Huaishun Geng Zhongming was his sworn brother. Although he was the chief general, he did not dare to be rude to his righteous brother.

"Brother, Yuan Ji, have you always been good?" As soon as he left the handsome tent, he saw Geng Zhongming coming together and quickly bowed his greetings.

"I've seen the general." Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, bowed down to his subordinates.

"Brother, Yuan Ji, why are you making a vow to me?" Kong Youde showed his hands together and held the arms of both of them.

"Although you and I are brothers, the national gifts cannot be abolished. Ruitu has an imperial edict. The imperial envoy first went to Quanzhou and ordered us to come to Guilin together to listen to the orders, so as to discuss military information so as to avoid running back and forth. Come on, let me introduce you to Eunuch Wu from Prince Rui's mansion, who came to pass the orders of Prince Rui." Geng Zhongming pointed to an eunuch behind him and said.

"I've seen the prince!" The eunuch who was sent to the order called Wu Yi. When Geng Zhongming introduced him, he quickly shook his horse's sleeves and beat him up.

"Eunuch Wu has come from afar, please come in and serve tea." Kong Youde bowed and returned the gift, reached out to pull Wu Yi. As soon as the two of them put their hands on, a silver note slipped into Wu Yi's cuff.

Wu Yi was secretly happy: "It's better to obey the king and be a good person. If it weren't for this hard money, I wouldn't have rushed it. By the way, riding a horse makes my thighs beaten up."

Wu Yi then greeted Shen Zhixiang, Jin Li and Zhuo Tai in turn.

Jin Li is a regular visitor to Prince Rui's mansion and an old acquaintance with Wu Yi. He is used to playing games. Seeing Wu Yi limping around, he quickly pretended to be caring and asked, "Eunuch Wu, isn't he very tired of riding a horse all the way?"

"It's not just tired? My thighs are worn out, and my legs are almost unable to walk." Wu Yi said with a bitter face.

"You can't walk on two legs, so use your third leg! Oh, I forgot, you're a eunuch, how can you have three legs?" Jin Li quipped with a wicked smile.

"Hahaha..." These people are all military generals, and they are usually not jealous of meat and vegetables. When Jin Li jokes about Wu Yi's flaws, they laugh out loud, and Wu Yi's face is red without even looking at him.

"Jin Li, Eunuch Wu is the imperial envoy, so you can joke? What did you say just now? You won't follow me." Kong Youde cursed with a smile.

"General, I've got the wrong credit for my job."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed again.

"Mr. Jin, we don't have three legs, but there are eggs. Don't say it, we keep running all the way, and the egg skin is tight!" After everyone laughed, Wu Yi replied.

"Hahaha, Eun-Skin Jinli, Eunuch Wu is also a wonderful person..."

Everyone was amused and laughed again.

...

After Wu Yi passed the order, Kong Youde ordered people to take him down to rest, unfold the map, and discuss military information with everyone.

"Brother, Yuan Ji, generals, the Regent gave us the merit of destroying the country, which shows the Regent's importance to us. This battle must be fought well, and we must not let down the Regent's trust." Kong Youde said excitedly.

As the main general, the first thing to do is to boost morale. Kong Youde is well versed in the way of using troops.

Sure enough, as soon as the words "The Merit of Destroying a Country" were expressed, everyone's eyes were filled with bright and brilliant colors.

"It depends entirely on the command of the general!" Geng Zhongming and others bowed their hands to agree.

"According to the scouts, Zhu Youlang has led his troops to Wuzhou. According to my judgment, his next step must be to go to Hezhou, turn westward and attack me directly behind the back. According to the deployment of the Regent, Quanzhou will be taken within ten days and give Zhu Youlang more effort. Then the eldest brother and Yuanji secretly transfer from Quanzhou to Hezhou to protect his retreat. Our troops pretended to attack Guilin, and waited for the eldest brother and Yuanji to move in place, abandon Guilin and ignored it, and attacked Zhu Youlang with all his strength. Brother, Yuanji, your burden is not light, can you complete the task?"

"Ruitu, the ten-day limit is too hasty. It has been around for more than three months. Yang Guodong and He Tengjiao have been defending very well. If they attack day and night, they can be taken down within ten days, but they are afraid that the loss of troops and generals will be too expensive." Geng Zhongming said with a worried face.

"It's better to minimize casualties. Don't forget that you have to copy Zhu Youlang's retreat. Yuanji, there is a word for wisdom in your account. Use your brain to see if there is a good solution?" Kong Youde asked Shang Kexi.

"General, I have a plan, I don't know if it's feasible?"

"Speak and listen."

"The whole province has been besieged for three months. I see that all the soldiers in the city are covered with vegetables. Obviously, the food is about to be eaten up, but they are just holding on. In my opinion, our army might as well withdraw the troops first and hide in Leigong Mountain in the name of attacking Zhu Youlang's reinforcements. The defenders in the city will definitely go out of the city to find food, and then let our people pretend to be the people and sneak into the city, and then attack inside and outside at night, and they will definitely win a great victory."

Kong Youde's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked up at Geng Zhongming: "Brother, what do you think of this plan?"

"Yang Guodong is also a good general, I am afraid that this plan will not be hidden from him." Geng Zhongming shook his head and said.

"It is true that Yang Guodong is a good general, but don't forget that there are He Tengjiao and Hao Yongzhong in the city. When they are hungry, they may not be able to listen to Yang Guodong's orders." Shang Kexi insisted that he had seen it.

"Zhixiang, what do you think?" Kong Youde asked Shen Zhixiang.

"General, I think that the strategic intention of the Regent is to use Quanzhou as bait and Guilin as the hook, and the purpose is to catch the big fish Zhu Youlang. Therefore, I think that Quanzhou must make a big name for the best strategy, and it doesn't matter whether it is taken or not."

"No! Strategic intention is strategic intention, but Prince Rui's strict orders, and once a ten-day limit is reached, he cannot take Quanzhou, but he will kill people. Therefore, he must take it within ten days. Moreover, only by taking Quanzhou will Zhu Youlang be anxious and will make him move his army to advance quickly, so that we can achieve the next step of combat deployment." Kong Youde rejected Shen Zhixiang's statement.

"Brother, let's do it. I think if Zhu Youlang arrives in Guilin, there will be twenty days left. Start counting from the day after tomorrow. Whether it is a strong attack or a witsman, he must take down the whole province within ten days and then quickly advance eastward."

"Okay, let's try it with Yuan Ji's strategy first. If Yang Guodong doesn't open the city gate to go out for food within three days, then attack hard. Seven days will be enough."

Geng Zhongming understood that Kong Youde gave himself two more days to allow him to have plenty of room for maneuver.

"Okay, brother, Yuan Ji, the military situation is urgent, I won't keep you anymore. Go back and arrange it quickly and try to play the triumphant song early."

"Okay, then we'll say goodbye!"
