After Le Jin entered Julu, he had been sending people to pay close attention to the situation in Daoxiang Village. He trained his troops and was ready to attack Daoxiang Village at any time.
On this day, Le Jin happened to be training his troops again. Suddenly, a spy reported that there was a fire in Daoxiang Village. After hearing this, Le Jin quickly climbed to the highest point of Julu City Tower and saw thick smoke rising from the west. Thinking this was a good opportunity, he led all the soldiers and horses of Julu out of the city.
Because he had seen Yu Yi's methods, Le Jin invited Zhang Yan, who surrendered from Hebei, and he had 20,000 troops to jointly attack Daoxiang Village.
Su Ming has outstanding abilities and is Huang Shumin's right-hand man. He has long inquired about Julu's information and was about to report to Yuyi. He did not expect to meet Xiaoli, and then the previous scene happened.
After Xiaoli left, Su Ming went into Yuyi's camp and reported, "We just got the news that Le Jin and Zhang Yan have gathered 30,000 troops and are coming to our rear."
The overall plan for the trip to Yunnan was very thorough. Yu Yi was caught off guard by Le Jin's sudden attack. He quickly summoned all the middle-level cadres in the team to discuss a solution.
Huang Shumin also knew about this. As the supreme commander of the army, she suggested: "Le Jin led 10,000 people to kill from my rear, and Zhang Yan led 20,000 people to kill from my side. With our current capabilities, , it is difficult to protect ourselves, not to mention the many young and old people in Daoxiang Village. I hope we can abandon the people and travel in simple clothes, heading deep into the Taihang Mountains."
Sikong Xuan objected: "Daoxiang Village is our foundation, and the villagers are our strength. The lord has finally won the hearts of the people. If he abandons everyone just because a strong enemy is chasing him, what will the people of the world think, and how will the lord gain a foothold in the future?"
Huang Shumin just smiled slightly and said: "It's easy for you to say. Do you know that the other party has an army of 30,000 people, and we are only 500 people. Isn't this disparity clear? If we don't handle it well, we will be in danger of being destroyed. What else can we do?" Talk about the trip to Yunnan."
Lei Chunze said: "I agree with Huang Shumin's idea. This is the only way at the moment."
Wu Chenggong and Ye Huatong also agreed to this suggestion. In this way, the result of the discussion may be to abandon the people of Daoxiang Village.
Yu Yi was a little annoyed. You must know that the plan to set fire to Daoxiang Village was one of his plans. First, it was to further win over people's hearts, and second, it was to destroy some advanced development models and let Cao Jun take over a meaningless place.
Everyone was arguing endlessly at this time, but there was really no result, so they stopped and waited for Yu Yi's final decision. The scene fell into silence.
Yu Yi said to Su Ming: "Send someone to see how long it will take for Le Jin and others to attack!"
After Su Ming left, he said to Huang Shumin: "At our current speed, how long will it take to enter the territory of Maocheng?"
Soon there were answers to both questions. It took four days to get to Maocheng, and it also took four days for Le Jin's army, and only three days for Zhang Yan's army.
Yu Yi took out a map, pointed at Taihang Mountain and said: "I have been to Taihang Mountain many times. The terrain is narrow and suitable for ambushes. I believe Le Jin will be very cautious this time. We have to change our approach."
Yuyi still hadn't made a decision on whether to abandon the people. Sikong Xuan was a little confused and asked, "What should the people do?"
Yuyi answered with a smile and said: "Actually, giving up on the people is the best policy, but the impact of giving up on the people is too far-reaching. We will meet all kinds of people along the way to Yunnan. If we have a bad reputation, it will bring disaster. .”
After hearing this, Huang Shumin was a little confused and questioned: "If we don't give up on the people, what will happen if the enemy attacks?"
Yu Yi laughed: "Le Jin will definitely be cautious. I guess he won't move very fast. If we set up some obstacles for him on the road, he will definitely be confused. So if he can't make it in four days, we will There is enough time to deal with his 10,000 troops. As for Zhang Yan, I heard that he took refuge with Cao Cao when Hebei was basically destroyed. When he surrendered in the early days, he had 100,000 troops. Later, Cao Cao took them back to many places. Du, I guess he must be holding a grudge and won’t try his best to help Le Jin, so it’s nothing to worry about!”
Sikong Xuan nodded and said, "My lord is wise!"
After Sikong Xuan left, Huang Shumin, Lei Chunze and others were also preparing to leave. Yu Yi saw some unhappy expressions on everyone's faces from a distance, so he left the four of them behind and sent someone to bring tea.
Yu Yi said to Huang Shumin, "Do you have any objections to my arrangements today?"
Huang Shumin was a straightforward person, and she immediately ignored the identity of Lord Yuyi and said loudly: "Since Sikong Xuan arrived, Lord seems to have placed too much trust in him. Where is that for us old people?"
Yu Yi personally poured a cup of tea for Huang Shumin and smiled: "Actually, there are advantages and disadvantages to giving up the people, but in the long run, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. During this period, I also observed the situation of the team, and we led it like this Traveling with the common people is a burden and increases the risk. However, Daoxiang Village has been burned down and we have nowhere to go, so I am considering moving everyone to Maocheng. This is also an explanation to everyone. Many of the people in Daoxiang Village are ours. Do your relatives and elders really not care about their life and death?"
Yu Yi's words convinced everyone. Huang Shumin quickly stood up from her seat, prostrated herself on the ground, and said, "I didn't think carefully!"
Yu Yi helped him up and said: "Since we can discuss openly, it is to express our opinions and express our thoughts. Whether this idea is right or wrong, we must verify it with practice. I think you can speak frankly." He has a good character. In the future, we should create an atmosphere within our group that dares to tell the truth, so that it will be conducive to development."
After finishing speaking, everyone fell silent. Yu Yi walked up to Lei Chunze, patted his shoulder and said: "Don't think that you are superior to others because you are old. History tells us that we cannot engage in seniority ranking. , the good experience of the old people must be learned, and the old experience must be discarded. We must use talents in an eclectic way, and the talents must have both ability and political integrity. We cannot deny him because of his birth, but we must look at his ability. See if he can't help us solve the problem. You are all old comrades who started my business with me, so you should understand this truth."
Lei Chunze also realized this problem, nodded sharply, and said: "My lord is right."
Yu Yi felt that the effect had been achieved, so he personally sent everyone out of the tent.
Seeing the people leaving, Yu Yi felt that the trip to Yunnan was a long way, and the stability of the small political power was still in need of improvement.
He took out the ancient book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and checked the progress of Zhang Yan and Le Jin. He found that Zhang Yan was much faster, while Le Jin walked very slowly.
Yuyi understood the situation immediately. Le Jin actually had some small thoughts. He wanted to let Zhang Yan's army go first and reap the benefits of Yu Wen. However, this Zhang Yan may have a meritorious mentality, so he really rushed forward. past.
Yu Yi opened the electronic map of Maocheng again and found that there were still some Cao troops hoarded there. There were about thousands of them. It was not easy to enter Maocheng.
