Qi Changfa didn't understand what Li Xiuzhu meant, but he still said, "Because the three cities need to help each other, Yanmen Pass is about 20 miles away from Juyong Pass."

Twenty miles, that’s half an hour.

Li Xiuzhu stopped asking questions and said, "I'm not an expert at fighting. I want to hear your opinions on lifting the siege of Shanhaiguan."

The five people were startled when they heard this, and they all thought they didn't hear it clearly.

This, listen to our opinions?

The five of them looked at each other in bewilderment. The four subordinates were still undecided, but Qi Shaoshang spoke first.

"If we want to relieve the siege of Shanhaiguan, perhaps we can surround Juyongguan."

"I think your Excellency also meant this when he asked me about the distance to Juyong Pass just now?"

"Besiege Wei to save Zhao. This is also in line with the strategy."

Seeing Qi Shaoshang speak, Wang Guanfang and the others could not show weakness. Wang Guanfang looked at the chessboard and said, "Besieging Wei to save Zhao may not be practical. There are 100,000 Silla troops, but only 50,000 of them besieged Shanhaiguan, so there must be 50,000 Silla soldiers in Juyongguan."

"If there are 50,000 people, they are not afraid of being surrounded."

The other three also nodded, Wang Guanfang hit the nail on the head.

Li Wuwei said, "It's unlikely that we can use tricks, so my suggestion is to cooperate with the garrison at Shanhaiguan to capture these Silla people."

"There are 40,000 soldiers guarding Shanhaiguan, plus we have nearly 50,000 cavalry. It shouldn't be difficult to defeat the 50,000-man army of Silla. At least we can disperse the army and provide support to Shanhaiguan."

Zhao Jian shook his head and said, "Although we are not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the Silla soldiers are good at fighting, and they are all cavalry."

"Although we have about 90,000 people combined, our cavalry is only about 60,000 at most. We may not be able to win against Silla."

"If we lose, we will lose the ability to fight."

Li Xiuzhu shook his head. What happened to these people? Did Silla break their backs? They were all the same, so how could one be worse than the other? If there was any difference, it was that others often went to the battlefield, while these people could only barely survive the recruit period.

After a moment of silence, Li Xiuzhu said, "Tomorrow morning, Captain Wang and Captain Li will each lead a cavalry of 10,000 people out of the city."

"I want the exact location of the Silla army, and I want to let the people of Silla and our Shanhaiguan know that we are coming."

"I have only one request, no fighting!"

Li Wuwei and Wang Guanfang were both stunned when they heard this. Or rather, not just the two of them, but everyone was stunned.

What does it mean that you can't fight? You can only be beaten and can't fight back on the battlefield? Wang Guanfang couldn't help it and asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"

"Yeah, how can we fight this battle that can't be fought?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "Your main task this time is to understand the direction of the enemy and put pressure on them."

"So, if the enemy advances, we retreat; if the enemy retreats, we harass. This is your battle plan this time."

"But we are all single horses, and we can only run for more than half an hour at most in a continuous battle."

"So when you are out of the city, you can only trot forward. If you encounter an enemy force in small groups, attack them. If there are more than 5,000 people, retreat, and shoot arrows as you retreat."

"Once a horse has been running at a rapid speed for more than two quarters of an hour, it must turn back."

"In addition, we must let the people in Shanhaiguan know that we are coming. Only in this way can they raise their fighting spirit."

"Master Qi, I will give you 500 men to observe the Silla camp from a distance."

"Report back after nightfall."

When everyone heard Li Xiuzhu's plan, although they didn't quite understand it, they thought it would be easy to implement and not very dangerous.

"good!"

"promise!"

“…”

Only then did Li Xiuzhu nod.

"Alright, let's all go!"

Early the next morning, two teams of 10,000 people and the 500 people led by Qi Shaoshang left the city.

"Notify me if anything happens."

"promise!"

Li Xiuzhu did not return home, but took Ruan Mingzheng to the pub.

Ruan Ming was looking at Li Xiuzhu with a frown on his face, his eyes filled with heaviness.

"What on earth do you want to do? You sent our boss out, but you insisted that I come to the restaurant with you."

"Could it be that you mistook me for a prostitute?"

"Then you are wrong. I, Ruan Mingzheng, would rather die than accompany a dog official like you."

"And you actually dared to come drink with me alone, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"You like Qi Shaoshang, right? You don't want Qi Shaoshang to die in public, do you?"

At this moment, Ruan Mingzheng felt as if his soft spot was pinched and he was immediately controlled.

Ruan Mingzheng's tone softened, and his eyes were filled with humiliation and anxiety.

"You can't kill the boss. Don't you still need us to help you capture the city?"

Li Xiuzhu chuckled when he heard this.

Where's your arrogance just now? I like your arrogant look.

However, the reason why he asked Ruan Mingzheng to drink with him was not to sleep with her.

Although Ruan Mingzheng looked good, he was just good-looking. Not to mention better than his own wife, he was even slightly inferior to Yin Ping.

Of course, if we consider the heroic spirit, he can be on par with Yinping.

"Do you know Xi Honglei?"

Xi Honglei? Ruan Mingzheng narrowed his eyes, showing hostility.

However, this hostility was not directed at Li Xiuzhu, but at Xi Honglei.

"You called me here for her?"

"One of them, tell me about it."

Ruan Mingzheng nodded upon hearing this, drank a glass of wine from the table, and then said, "Xi Honglei is the mayor of Huinuo City, and is known as the most beautiful woman in the world."

"According to our boss, she is a person of courage, independent character, opinionated, dares to love and hate, dares to do and act, is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, values ​​friendship and loyalty, is a man of both civil and military talents, is mighty and unyielding, is meticulous, can clearly distinguish between friends and enemies, is stubborn, sincere, careful, and has a strong heart."

"I am a bit stubborn and extreme, and I am somewhat emotional, but I also know how to put the overall situation first, and I also have a considerate and tender side."

Li Xiuzhu smiled while playing with the wine glass when he heard this.

"Your boss is really generous in praising her. I'm afraid he has used all the good words to describe her."

"Having said so much, have you ever seen Xi Honglei? Is she really worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world?"

Li Xiuzhu's words seemed to hit Ruan Mingzheng's sore spot. No one likes to hear the person they like praise others.

Ruan Mingzheng drank another glass of wine before continuing, "I don't know if she is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, but I have indeed seen my Xi Honglei, and most likely, she should be worthy of it."

"Although she has a fierce temper, she is actually pretty and delicate. Her hands are white, soft, smooth, and evenly proportioned. She doesn't look like a martial artist at all."

"When she smiles, it makes people feel that the whole sky seems to light up. Her pupils are like water, and the ends of her eyes are like hooks. She is softer than water, more delicate than flowers, more fragile than dreams, and more delicate than heartache."

"If I were to describe it, it seems that it is too beautiful to look at, like a flower that cannot bloom, a painting that is created carelessly, and a wonderful creation of nature. It seems that only this can describe her beauty."

"She is like a rainbow after the evening rain, and it takes a coincidence between heaven and earth to build such an elusive and unpredictable rainbow bridge. She wins with her temperament, so she is more beautiful than beauty, and she is worth appreciating and watching."
