"No matter what mistakes you make, since you are my courtier, it is up to me to decide whether to kill you or not.And as you said earlier, the reason why you don't want to die is because you have received my favor and you want to repay me.But it's not a thank you to bow three times like this, is it possible that you want to be like the queen, bow three times to me" Zhao Yu's funny words immediately made everyone present laugh, and the original serious atmosphere eased a lot in an instant.At that moment, Zhao Yu opened his mouth and said to Xu Shu: "Get up quickly, as my courtier, you should know what kind of person I am, if you keep kneeling like this, it is what I don't like the most, no matter what happens, get up and talk to me."
Otherwise, you will always kneel and don't tell me anything. ”In the face of Zhao Yu's holy decree, Xu Shu was also helpless, and Xu Shu was really very clear about Zhao Yu's character.After a moment of hesitation, Xu Shu really stood up slowly, bowed to Zhao Yu, and said slowly: "This time Xu Shu was ordered to lead the soldiers and horses to Nanyang County and join forces with Chen Gong's military division to send troops to Nanyang County.However, to the surprise of Xu Shu and Chen Gong, the defenders of Jiangxia County were Zhou Yu and Lu Su, the governors of Wu State, and the cooperation between the two was simply seamless, and they actually exchanged identities with each other to disguise. ”Lu Su played Zhou Yu to attract the Chen Gong army and make the Chen Gong army stand still.And Zhou Yu pretended to be Lu Su and tempted Xu Shu, so that I couldn't help but send troops to attack his camp at night.What Xu Shu didn't expect was that Zhou Yu actually left an empty camp for Xu Shu directly, which made Xu Huang and Le Jin, the two armies responsible for the night attack, fall into the air.And Zhou Yu took the opportunity to lead the whole army to attack our army's camp, as a result, Xu Shu and 20,000 troops were besieged, and the two generals, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, in order to let Xu Shu escape and join General Xu Huang, did not hesitate to attract the main force of the Wu army with themselves, and were killed by the Wu army one after another. ”Later, Xu Shu asked General Zhang Xiu to inform Chen Gong's military division and order his army to withdraw to the border of Nanyang County, so as to prevent the Wu army from taking advantage of the situation to seize Nanyang County.Xu Shu gathered his troops and horses to find Xu Huang and General Le Jin, and when we retreated to find Chen Gong's military division, we were ambushed by the Wu army.After some fighting, fortunately, Zang Ba and his two sons sent troops to rescue them, so they killed the Wu army and lost thousands of sergeants to return to our army camp. ”"Now Xu Shu and Chen Gong's military division have done a good job of defending the army's defense line, and then handed over all the soldiers and horses led by Xu Shu to Chen Gong's military division to guard the border to prevent the Wu army from attacking, so he still came to ask His Majesty for his guilt alone."
After speaking, Xu Shu once again showed a look of self-pity, looked at Zhao Yu and lowered his head.After Xu Shu's voice lagged, before Zhao Yu could speak, Guo Jia on the side stood up first, revealing a trace of doubt: "I don't know how many soldiers of our army died in the hands of the Wu army in these two battles" Xu Shu sighed softly and said: "The first time Zhou Yu, the governor of the Wu army, personally led 50,000 troops to surround our army's camp, at that time, our army stayed in the camp with a total of 20,000 people, and was killed by the Wu army more than 7,000 people.Later, the officers and men of our army retreated together, and were attacked and ambushed by the Wu army, with a total loss of 3,000 people.There were a total of 10,000 people, in addition to the heroic sacrifices of the two generals Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang, and many material losses. ”At that moment, Zhao Yu couldn't help but speak: "The soldiers lost 10,000, the generals lost two, and the rest of the materials were a lot, so the battle damage was really not small."
However, in today's war, this loss is nothing, especially two battle losses.And Xu Aiqing has said just now that the enemy he is facing this time is Zhou Yu, the governor of the Wu army, this person is extremely intelligent, and he has never met an opponent in his life, and he has never been defeated, although Lord Xu Shu was ambushed and sneak attacked by Zhou Yu, but it was not a fiasco.And it can be said that under the siege of Zhou Yu's army, Lord Xu Shu was still able to stay awake, save the soldiers of our army, and reduce the casualties to the lowest point, which can also be said to be a great achievement. ”It can be said that Zhao Yu's remarks this time undoubtedly turned Xu Shu's mistakes into credit.It can be said that this is an artistic means for Zhao Yu as an emperor to appease the generals, for Zhao Yu, he really won't be angry when he defeats the battle, it is definitely impossible, no one wants to defeat the battle, and he intends to change on the eve of the battlefield, not everyone can always win and be undefeated.Victory and defeat are closely linked, there are many things that seem to be victorious, but in fact they have been defeated, and some things are looking for a chance of winning in defeat.Take several related figures in history as an example, Liu Bei's life can be said to have been spent in defeat, and all the generals under his command followed Liu Bei and suffered countless defeats.However, Zhao Yun is known as a winning general, and Guan Yu is known as a martial saint, all because these generals have already won the top victory in their lives in defeat.Tai Shi Ci rescued the city alone, Gan Ning robbed the camp with 100 horses, and Ma Chao fought Cao Cao, although these people did not save the entire war by themselves, but they won their own military life in the battlefield, which is to win in defeat.In this time, Xu Shu led the army, and was repeatedly defeated by Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu State, and on the surface, it seemed that the Zhao army was defeated, losing a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses.But if it is replaced by someone else, replaced by a person whose ability is not as good as Xu Shu, what will be the result of this battle Zhao Yu has reason to believe that with a peerless and intelligent person like Zhou Yu, under the siege of the kind of army that leads.If it were someone else to resist, even if it wasn't the entire army, it would be ten dead or wounded.Xu Shu faced various difficulties and minimized the casualties of Army B, which is also a kind of credit.Moreover, Xu Shu is an important minister under the command of Zhao State, one of several top ministers, and an official prince and prince, such an important position, how could Xu Shu behead such an important general because of defeat.If Zhao Yu was really impulsive and killed Xu Shu, then the biggest beneficiary would definitely be his own enemy, especially Zhou Yu of the Wu army.Zhou Yu tried hard and failed to kill Xu Shu, and he was okay because he was angry and beheaded Xu Shu, didn't he help the enemy.At that moment, I saw Zhao Yu speaking to the dull Xu Shu: "Lord Xu Shu doesn't have to be sad about this matter this time, the victory and defeat have been divided, and it is futile to pay attention to this matter in the transition."
It is better to devote more energy to the future war, you are an important minister under my command, and you are also a pivotal figure, so no matter what happens in the future, remember that it is impossible to know your own life in vain.It is not terrible for people to fail, what is terrible is to lose their fighting spirit, failure can start all over again, and losing their fighting spirit is like living like dying. ”Xu Shu couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and thanked Zhao Yu is hand and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Xu Shu must remember Your Majesty's teachings, summarize the fruits of this defeat, and go all out to make meritorious contributions in the future." ”After hearing Xu Shu's words, Zhao Yu couldn't help but nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Well, Lord Xu Shu is right to have such ambitions, I am waiting for your good news." ”After speaking, Zhao Yu turned to Guo Jia on the side and asked, "Guo Jia, I don't believe that in Zhou Yu's way, after two small victories in a row, he will stand still like this.If you are that Zhou Yu, what will you do next after winning two small games in a row this time" After Guo Jia heard this, he bowed his hand to Zhao Yu slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, that Zhou Yu's talent is not inferior to Guo Jia, and Zhou Yu's tricks make people unpredictable, sometimes the plan is flawless, and sometimes the sword goes sideways, which is a variety of tactics.If you guess Zhou Yu's tactics in a normal strategic way, I am afraid that you will suffer.However, if I were Zhou Yu, after defeating the opponent twice in succession in Jiangxia County and causing the opponent to withdraw from Jiangxia County, I would have been camouflaged with soldiers and horses, so that the other party would be timid towards me and would not dare to attack rashly. ”"After all, the defeat of the army in succession, as long as it exceeds three times, it will make the fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers plummet.Now that our army has suffered two small defeats, Zhou Yu will definitely conclude that our army will not dare to enter the army without full certainty.Then he led his troops quietly to other places, gathered a large army, and waited for an opportunity to sneak attack the main army of our army. ”Hearing Guo Jia's words, Zhao Yu was stunned, and asked in an incredible tone: "What do you mean to say that Zhou Yu will want to lead the soldiers and horses, and come directly to attack my army, is it difficult for him Zhou Yu to show his brain, and he actually wants to lead that little soldiers and horses to meet my army" When Zhao Yu sent Xu Shu to lead the soldiers and horses to assist Chen Gong, he was worried that the Wu army would take the opportunity to come and break through the rear line of Army B.Therefore, the army guarded, let Chen Gong lead 50,000 troops to guard Nanyang County, assist in leading 50,000 troops to attack Jiangxia, Xu Shu led 50,000 troops and several generals to meet Chen Gong.In addition to these soldiers and horses, Zhao Yu's army has at least about twenty-five to twenty-eight soldiers and horses, with so many soldiers and horses, Zhao Yu believes that even if he wants to go on a rampage in Jingzhou, it is not something that ordinary people can stop.Even if he, Zhou Yu, gathered all the armies of the Wu army, it would be difficult for him to defeat his army easily.Later, in order to stabilize the retreat in the rear, Zhao Yu ordered tens of thousands of troops to retreat to the entrance from Yizhou Ba County to Jingzhou South County, so as to prevent cunning enemy troops from making a detour to attack his own road.At that time, once its retreat route is blocked by the enemy, then Army B will inevitably be seriously hindered if it wants to mobilize grain, grass and other materials.At worst, the officers and men of the three armies reduced the supply of grain and grass, and at the worst, because of the urgent shortage of grain and grass, the whole army was in chaos, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting, and then the enemy took advantage of the situation to attack and repelled their own army in one fell swoop.Once there is a big defeat, it is even more difficult to reorganize the troops and horses to make a comeback
