Chapter 42

Xu Shu took over the words and said, "Lord, what should we do with Gong Du and Liu Pi?"

Zhang Xiu asked, "what advice does Yuan Zhi have?"

Zhang Xiu has made up her mind to deal with Gong Du and Liu Bi, but he still asks Xu Shu. On the one hand, we should listen to the opinions of our subordinates. On the other hand, it is to give Xu Shu a chance to play, because Xu Shu is Zhang Xiu's counselor.

It is Xu Shu's duty to give advice.

If everything is decided directly by Zhang Xiu, Xu Shu will lose his role as a counselor.

Xu Shu was not impatient and said: "I think that Gong Du and Liu PI should be killed to attack the heart."

Zhang xiudao: "tell me in detail."

Xu Shu looked calm and explained: "first, the LORD sent someone to inform the people of the whole city. Killing Gong Du and Liu PI in front of everyone can help the Lord gather people's hearts and establish prestige."

"Gong Du and Liu PI are yellow scarf thieves."

"Two people occupy Runan County, wantonly plunder, so that the people hate to the bone."

"The killing of Gong Du and Liu PI by the Lord protected the safety of Yuyang county. The people will be grateful and recognize him. The hearts of the people are like water. We need to gather bit by bit to gather strength. "

"Once the hearts and minds of the people are united into a river and a sea, they will have the power to destroy the withered and decayed, and be invincible."

"This is how to help those who have received the Tao."

Xu Shu calmly continued: "last time, Deng Chen raised the price of grain and hoarded grain, which made it difficult for people to buy grain. The LORD destroyed Deng's business, stabilized the price of grain in Yuyang County, opened warehouses to release grain, and provided relief to the common people, so that the common people benefited. "

"The people are grateful for this."

"Now Gong Du and Liu PI are attacking from Runan County. The Lord is not afraid of danger and has defeated Gong Du and Liu PI."

"This is the Lord's martial arts, which can convince the people."

Xu Shu calmly analyzed.

For Zhang Xiu, it is not of great value to take over Gong Du and Liu PI. On the contrary, it is more valuable to kill them.

Gan Ning listened with admiration.

Xu Shu is worthy of being a famous scholar in Jingzhou.

A small thing, can play a flower. In other words, Gan Ning himself captured Gong Du and Liu PI, the yellow scarf robbers who were fleshy people, and killed them with one knife. He would not make so many twists and turns.

Zhang Xiu praised: "Yuan Zhi's plan is the best one. But you mentioned the first point just now. Is there a second point? "

Xu Shu said: "my Lord is wise!"

Zhang Xiu said, "what is the second?"

Xu Shu continued: "Lord, to kill Gong Du and Liu PI, the first is to attack the hearts of the common people, the second is to attack the hearts of thieves and bandits. Gong Du and Liu Bi are located in Runan County. They are very powerful and have a strong deterrent force in Jingzhou and Yuzhou. "

"When they are killed, the bandits around will not dare to offend him again because they know the strength of the Lord."

"This is the heart of attacking thieves."

"Take Gong Du and Liu Pi as chickens and kill them."

There was a light in Xu Shu's eyes, and he said: "the benefits of doing this can also frighten the forces north of Wan County, so that they dare not underestimate the Lord. It will be helpful for the Lord to attack the area north of Yuyang County in the future. "

Zhang xiuhan said, "what about the third?"

In Zhang Xiu's deduction, since it is an offensive plan, there is a third point.

Xu Shu said: "third, attack Liu Biao's heart. There are two sides to Liu Biao's view of the Lord. "

"On the one hand, Liu Biao hopes that the Lord will stay in Yuyang County as a barrier to the north of Jingzhou and guard Xiangyang so that he can rest easy."

"On the other hand, Liu Biao was very angry with you Heng and Yi Ji. He didn't want to see the Lord strong and wanted to suppress him and let him be within his control. "

"Liu Biao had no choice but to beat him with the help of Gong Du and Liu PI."

"This is Liu Biao's little action."

"This time, when the Lord killed Gong Du and Liu Bihou, he could seal their heads with lime and pack them in boxes, send sentries to Xiangyang and present them to Liu Biao."

"It's a demonstration, and it's a beating on Liu Biao."

"The Lord can easily defeat Gong Du and Liu PI. If Liu Biao moves again, the Lord will not give up."

Xu Shu did not put Liu Biao in his eyes. He said: "Liu Biao is strong outside but strong in the middle. Even if the Lord beat him, he did not dare to do anything. What's more, Liu Biao was responsible for the affairs of Liu PI and Gong Du. "

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Zhang Xiu nodded in praise.

In fact, Zhang Xiu is also preparing to kill Gong Du and Liu PI.

Killing Gong Du and Liu PI has many advantages.

Xu Shu's proposal, comprehensive and specific, comprehensive analysis.

Gan Ning Gudong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Xu Shu with a touch of awe in his eyes. When he was in Nanyang, he had heard of Xu Shu's reputation for a long time and knew that Xu Shu had outstanding talent.

He admired famous people, so he respected Xu Shu.

However, Gan Ning didn't fear Xu Shu very much. After all, Xu Shu was a counselor. He only gave advice to Zhang Xiu and would not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. But now I hear Xu Shu's analysis and plan. It's awe inspiring.At this moment, Gan Ning is really in awe.

Gan Ning's heart, suddenly gave birth to a desire, he wants to read and learn. We should not only learn how to March and set up the array, but also learn the tactics of war. Although Gan Ning has read books, he is only proficient and has never really read books. He marched and fought according to his own experience. Now seeing Xu Shu's ability, he made up his mind to study.

Zhang Xiu doesn't know Gan Ning's inner thoughts. If she knows, she will be greatly gratified.

It's good to be willing to study.

Without hesitation, Zhang Xiu said directly, "Yuanzhi, the time for killing Gong Du and Liu Pi is tomorrow afternoon, and they will be executed outside the south gate. Since I want to rally the people's support, I will give a speech on the stage in person, and you can arrange it. "

"Here it is

Xu Shu bowed his hand to answer the question.

Zhang Xiu looked at Gan Ning again and said, "we should speed up the process of reorganizing the yellow scarf soldiers. We will not stay in Yuyang County for too long. As soon as our strength is consolidated, we will move our troops northward and seize the counties to the north of Yuyang county. "

Gan Ning said: "the humble position will be completed as soon as possible."

"Good!"

Zhang Xiu nodded.

"Dong! Dong

Knock on the door, a soldier came outside the study and knocked on the door.

Zhang Xiu said, "come in!"

The soldier pushed the door in, knelt down on one knee, saluted Zhang Xiu and said, "general, there is a man named Deng Jing from the county government. He said that he came here on behalf of the Deng family in Nanyang to see the Lord and talk about the business of the Deng family. "

The corner of Zhang Xiu's mouth brings up a smile.

After Deng Chen was killed, several days later, the Deng family finally came, but they didn't know whether they were asking for help or asking for peace?

Zhang xiudao said, "take the people to the lobby. Ben will come later."

"Here it is

The soldiers have to order, turn around and arrange.

Gan Ning and Xu Shu left first to deal with their own affairs.

Zhang Xiu changed into a white robe, wore a long crown on her head, and hung a sword on her waist. She went straight to the hall.
