Liu Xie was stunned.
Nanyang, Xinye, Hulao Pass, Runan!
It can be said that the Qin army has surrounded Xuchang from all directions from southeast to northwest!
Even if Liu Xie wanted to abandon the city and escape, there would be no chance.
Nowadays, it is really difficult to escape!
Xun Gou's reaction was even more confused than Liu Xie's.
It's not because of the incident itself, but because it happened too suddenly.
He had clearly read through the latest intelligence. Where was the news that Liu Zhang was coming with his army in person?
Why did an army of 100,000 people pop out in the blink of an eye?
Liu Xie and Xun Gou couldn't help shouting in their hearts at the same time.
Where did the 100,000 troops come from?
"Ahem, you go down first."
While Liu Xie didn't get angry, Xun Gou quickly drove the soldiers away.
The previous 100,000 people had already been blown up by Liu Xie, and now another 100,000 people appeared, and they still had the intention of killing him?
There was no way to escape a severe beating, and the only thing one could do was to drive away the outsiders.
He broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, so that the soldiers could not see it.
In order to avoid spreading the news and losing his Xun Gou's face.
After the soldiers left, Xun Gou turned around and walked to Liu Xie.
They looked at each other and knelt directly at their feet.
thump.
This kneeling made Liu Xie even more confused.
"Your Majesty, please."
As he spoke, he raised his head and closed his eyes, looking determined to die.
Liu Xie looked at Xun Gou, his anger rising again.
How can a 200,000-strong army get through by pretending to be seeking death?
However, he had been beaten severely just now, and beating him again would not relieve his anger.
Furthermore, Liu Xie’s hands and feet were sore from the beating.
"Xun Gou, let me ask you, didn't Liu Zhang say he entered Yingchuan from Nanyang?"
"Why, he raided Runan and came from Runan!"
Xun Gou shook his head with an innocent look on his face.
"Your Majesty, Liu Zhang is treacherous and everyone knows it!"
"Now, Nanyang, Xinye, Hulao Pass, and Runan are all in his hands. Does it matter where you come from?"
Liu Xie was speechless and quickly changed the question.
"Then let me ask you again, didn't Liu Zhang say he would come with elite troops?"
"Is it possible that there are 300,000 elite soldiers?"
"You also said that you want me to win the hearts of the people. Let me ask you, how to win the hearts of the 300,000-strong army!"
Xun Gou shook his head again.
"Your Majesty, everyone knows that Liu Zhang is treacherous!"
Liu Xie was furious and kicked Xungou hard, causing him to turn several somersaults!
"You know this sentence, what use do I need from you!"
Xun Gou quickly got up and knelt at Liu Xie's feet again.
"Your Majesty will kill or behead him, and I will never complain!"
"Just please listen to your Majesty!"
Liu Xie rolled his sleeves.
"If you fart, hurry up!"
Xun Gou pursed his lips, cupped his hands and said,
"Your Majesty, I know that my recent performance has greatly disappointed Your Majesty, but my ability does not lie in this at all."
"Xun Yu is naturally more powerful in handling government affairs. This is recognized by the world!"
"I have followed Xun Yu for many years, but Xun Yu did not teach me the ability to handle government affairs."
Liu Xie turned his head and glared at Xun Gou.
"Then you didn't tell me earlier! If you had told me earlier, could I have lost Xun Yu?"
Liu Xie learned from the experience and realized that the most wrong thing he had done in his life was to drive away Xun Yu.
If he could do it over again, he would rather kill Xun Gou than keep Xun Yu.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"Your Majesty, calm down, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Xun Gou's eyes were full of disappointment.
What does it mean to be a treasure when you are used and a piece of shit when you are not used?
He finally understood everything today.
At this moment, the thoughts in my heart became more determined.
"speak!"
"Your Majesty, Xun Yu did not have the ability to teach ministers about government affairs because he felt that he did not need it. How could the Han Dynasty need two Xun Yu?"
"However, Xun Yu gave me another ability!"
Liu Xie's expression softened a lot, but was full of doubts.
"What?"
"Military strategy!"
"What's the meaning?"
Xun Gou's expression changed and he became confident again.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty, who made the greatest contribution to Cao Cao's ability to unify Hebei in the Central Plains?"
Liu Xie thought for a while and gave the answer in his heart.
"Of course it's Xun Lingjun. Without Xun Yu, there would be no Cao Cao."
"That's right! Xun Yu is not only strong in governance, but also outstanding in military strategy!"
"What I inherit is Xun Yu's military strategy!"
Liu Xie didn't understand and looked very anxious.
"What on earth do you mean?"
Xun Gou smiled.
"Haha, let's put it this way, I have Han Xin's talent, which is enough to defeat the strong with the weak!"
"What!"
Liu Xie was shocked at first, and then became full of contempt.
"Xun Gou, you are so shameless! Are you still as talented as Han Xin? Why didn't you say you were Sun Wu resurrected!"
"His Majesty!"
Xun Gou's voice became much louder and he argued with reason.
"I am willing to lead an army of 10,000 men to challenge Liu Zhang's 100,000 men!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xie's open mouth slowly closed.
Ten thousand people facing one hundred thousand people?
If nothing else, this courage alone is amazing.
Let me ask, who dares to take this military order?
Xun Gou saw that Liu Xie had a strange look and continued to ask for orders.
"Your Majesty, do you remember that I said at the beginning that I would personally lead an army to meet Liu Zhang?"
"If he sincerely surrenders, that's all. If he insists on rebelling, I will take him down with my own hands!"
Liu Xie frowned and nodded subconsciously.
Xun Gou really never said this.
However, I still couldn't believe it.
"Liu Zhang is treacherous and the Qin army is brave. You can defeat him with ten thousand men."
Xun Gou stood up and nodded heavily.
"Your Majesty, in the art of war, soldiers are more valuable than their superior numbers! A general is more valuable for his strategy than for his courage!"
"I have a strategy in my belly and a weapon in my chest. How can I not be victorious?"
"this..."
Liu Xie was still very doubtful.
These ten thousand people are his entire wealth. Once it is gone, he will become a puppet in an instant.
"His Majesty!"
Xun Gou shouted loudly again.
"Can we resist the 300,000 Qin army by just sitting there and waiting for death?"
Liu Xie trembled.
If the Qin army is allowed to approach the city, there will be no chance of victory.
"When I go, I will definitely defeat the Qin army, capture Liu Zhang alive, and present him to Your Majesty!"
"For this reason, I am willing to issue a military order!"
Liu Xie's eyes widened, finally unable to resist the temptation.
If Liu Zhang is captured, the world will be in jeopardy immediately!
He is the real emperor!
Furthermore, if he was not sure of victory, how could Xun Gou dare to issue a military order?
Immediately, he nodded fiercely.
"Okay! Xun Gou, I will appoint you as the general who defeated the Qin Dynasty. You will lead 10,000 troops to fight against the rebel Liu Zhang!"
Xun Gou cupped his chin and smiled evilly.
"Official...accept the order!"
