Those who are good at guarding hide under the nine earths; those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens.

After a while, a sixteen- or seven-year-old boy came to Li Sui. The boy was not outstanding in appearance, and he was like a drop in the ocean among the 100,000 refugees, and was inconspicuous and tight, but the boy had a burly body. If it weren't for the childishness on his face, no one would have suspected that he was a powerful hero of Kong Wu. However, the boy's eyes always seemed to be unable to wake up, and his whole face looked lazy.

The young man respectfully saluted Li Sui and said, "Sir, you call me?"

Li Sui looked at the boy with complicated eyes. He joined Li Sui's army when he was just starting out. He was appointed as the commander of his burly man. He was smart and brave in combat and often led by the army. In the battles of Keping Mountain and Changyang, he was the first group of warriors to attack the city. He was very attracted by Li Sui and promoted him. Now he is a general who commands 500 people.

Li Sui smiled and said, "Huchen, this time the army is heading south, what is the prospect according to you?"

"The last general is humble, and I dare not speak!" Hu Chen replied respectfully.

Li Sui said kindly: "At this time, there are only you and me, but it doesn't matter."

Hu Chen said lightly to forgive his crime: "Mr. Hui, as we see, the army went south this time mainly depends on whether it can capture Wan County in a short time! If Wan County is captured before the imperial court formed an encirclement, we will advance and retreat freely, otherwise..." Hu Chen lowered his head and remained silent.

Li Sui smiled long: "Although the tiger minister is young, he is a real hero!" After a while, Li Sui stopped laughing and sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have the same heart as me!"

Hu Chen was only slightly surprised at this time: "Why did you say this sir?"

Li Sui said slowly: "I had known that the army was mixed with dragons and snakes, including the court, the powerful, even the Western Di and the Northern Barbarians, all of these forces were exploring our army. It's not that I didn't know, but I needed them to help me convey some news, so I have been reluctant to send it. But the day before yesterday I intercepted a pigeon and found out that you, a big fish from Wanjun!" He threw a ball of cloth in front of Hu Chen and joked: "Now, am I calling you Hu Chen or Zuo Mengxi?"

The boy's legs began to tremble, and the sweat on his head began to drip. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and the boy calmed down a little: "Mr. Li, if you can help you conquer Wanjun, can you save my life?"

"Oh? Why do you help me?" Li Sui pretended to be confused.

"Sir, why bother to bully me? Since all the provocateurs in the army are in the eyes of Mr. Wan County, how can there be no provocateurs in Wan County? Mr. must have known that my Zuo family is going to deal with that young county magistrate. Why bother to bully me?" Zuo Mengxi smiled bitterly, took out another cloth from his arms and handed it to Li Sui.

Li Sui smiled and took the cloth: "Jun Guo is worthy of being the second young master of the left 'Bai Linglong', and he was in the middle of the heart." He looked at the cloth slim several times before laughing: "This county magistrate is a real boy. It is very unwise to offend your Zuo family at this time!"

Zuo Mengxi Road: "But my Zuo family can only be in the dark. After all, the Zuo family has been famous for generations..."

Li Sui interrupted him and said with a smile: "I understand this. This cooperation is all about getting what you need, that's all."

"Okay! Then I will agree to this matter on behalf of my father. However, after the city of Wanjun is broken, my family cannot suffer too much loss!" Zuo Mengxi replied with a sigh.

Li Sui replied happily: "That's natural! But Mr. Zuo will not be able to lead troops in the future. Please stay by my side in the future to contact the Zuo family matters!"

"Okay, please give the pigeon back, so I can return this matter to my father!"

"This is natural!"

When Zuo Mengxi retreated, Li Sui smiled: "They abandoned the Duke because of him, and the country is a tragedy. The great country collapsed because of it. When the city was destroyed, let's take a look!"

Early in the morning that day, Wang Bo ordered all the generals of the army to convene a military meeting. The generals and subordinates came to the county government one after another. Due to Wang Bo's decisive decision on the school field, they no longer dared to treat Wang Bo as a stinky child. They found their place to sit down, and waited for the meeting to begin.

At this time, the garrison pulled a soldier into the air and said in panic. When he saw Wang Bo, he immediately said in panic: "Sir, Li Sui has set off to Wan County. The provocateur said that it will take no ten days, and it will take only five days at most to reach the city of Wan County!"

Wang Bo looked at his panicked face and smiled faintly: "Look at how you look, how decent you are!"

The guard realized that he was still pulling the commander, and was embarrassed. He waved his hand and called him down, then turned around and said, "Sir, we previously estimated that Li Sui would take ten days to finish his rest. The situation has changed at this time, so we have to make plans early!"

Wang Bo smiled indifferently: "Four days? No! I said ten days are ten days! Why don't you bet on a host?"

The guards have known that the young county magistrate is laughing and does not think it is offensive: "Since lord is ready, I'm in vain!" He calmed down and sat in his own position.

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, Wang Bo stood up and said, "Everyone, the meeting begins!"

The generals cheered up and said in unison: "Here!"

Wang Bo pulled open the curtain on the wall with the map covered with the map and pointed to the map and said to the generals: "This is Xu County. Li Sui set out from here and passed by Ping County and the old county. There are many hills here, which are convenient for ambushing, but they are far from me and cannot be counted on! This is a city adjacent to our county and Xu County. The city is small but hard and difficult to attack, so it is called Jintang. However, the place that faces the old county is flat and has no cover!"

A general said, "Sir, is it meant to defend Jintang City?" A general opposed: "Sir, although Jintang City is strong, how can it be a small city? If Li Sui ignores it and passes around the city, the defenders in the city will advance and retreat and become a waste of their corpses in the corner!"

Wang Bo smiled slightly: "Who said I want to defend the city? Our army is 50,000 and the enemy is 170,000. The difference is huge. If I do not hold the city, I will not be able to defend the city for a long time. I will fight the enemy under Jintang City. If I win this battle, I will reduce the enemy by more than half, and the opponent will no longer have the advantage in terms of military strength!"

The generals were shocked, and the county magistrate said anxiously: "Sir, fight the enemy in a decisive battle. Even if the enemy's troops are reduced by half, they will hurt the enemy by 10,000, and they will lose 8,000 yuan. Besides, we have no one left! Besides, as long as we stick to the support, we can hold on for a few days!"

Wang Bo asked the county magistrate seriously: "The Zuo family is in charge of half of the soldiers in each county under Wan County. Do you think reinforcements will be prompt?"

The county magistrate stuttered for a while, "Maybe it can..."

"Maybe?" Wang Bo sneered, "You don't have confidence, are you? These wealthy families...hum!"

Wang Bo continued: "It is better to ask for others than to ask for others! Therefore, we cannot wait for reinforcements and rely on others' breathing! Victory must be grasped in our own hands!" After saying that, the chief clerk of the vassal treasury who attended with a visual view: "Have the matter been done?"

The chief clerk said carefully: "It's a perfect plan!"

Wang Bo is serious: "All the generals obey orders! Today the soldiers are sent to Jintang City!"
