Chapter 137: Start With Your Advantages

After Guan Yu saw the silver-blue light, he directly ordered people to rush to the border of Qingzhou, and let Taishi Ci rush over. Chen Xi had arranged things before hand for just in case.

To be honest, it's not that Chen Xi didn't want to sneak 20,000 troops to Jizhou, but that he didn't have the ability. Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's 1,000 guards were able to come in in several batches, 20,000 troops wanting to secretly cross the border is a joke. Even if it was foggy and rainy, the movement would be too loud.

Nanpi city broke out such big movements that the entire Nanpi army camp could hear it, but none of the soldiers dared to leave the camp without authorization. The reason was simple. One was because there was no military order, and the middle and low-level generals were not qualified to mobilize the soldiers in the Nanpi army camp. For soldiers, the habit handed down in the Han Dynasty is still maintained at this time, only recognizing the military seal but not the people.

The loss of Nanpi city is something that belongs to the jurisdiction of Nanpi guard. And if the Nanpi army camp is lost, it is really a major event for the entire southern part of Jizhou.

Because of this, there is now a strange peace in Nanpi city and Nanpi army camp. Nanpi army camp obviously has 30,000 elite veterans, while Nanpi city has only 1,000 guards from Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. As a result, both sides does not dare to go out and meet the enemy.

"Hahaha. Chen Xi, you see that there are 30,000 elite veterans in Nanpi army camp, but now they are just guarding the camp and does not dare to go out." At this time, only Zhang Fei dared to say such a cold joke.

"Ju Shou, your Jizhou soldiers are really good. In the case of unknown circumstances, you can still follow the previous regulations. Although they are rigid, it is troublesome to defeat them." Chen Xi ignored Zhang Fei and turned to Ju Shou to said.

"Hmphed, I'm waiting for you to be captured. Under the unknown situation, the army can only avoid the flames of war if you abide by the military regulations. Even if my Jizhou soldiers does not have the command of the three of us, you will suffer heavy losses if you fight!" Ju Shou coldly said.

However, Zhang Fei's words are good news for Ju Shou. As long as the 30,000 elite veterans rely on the large camp to defend under the leadership of middle and low-level military generals, it is impossible to win the fight. But it is definitely enough to bring a considerable degree of threat to Qingzhou.

"Hehe, Ju Shou can be at ease. If it is a piece of fat, I will swallow it with Qingzhou, but I don't have to do this for an unnecessary hard bone." Chen Xi opened the folding fan, shook it slowly, and said. "Please stay here for a while . After Taishi Ci arrives, I will naturally let Ju Shou leave." Chen Xi said.

Guan Yu's messenger rushed to the border of Qingzhou, where Taishi Ci had long been waiting for him. When he saw the messenger, he was overjoyed!

"What's the situation!" Taishi Ci rushed over before the soldiers could dismount, and asked loudly.

"Leave Qingzhou, plunder Nanpi!" The herald said loudly.

"The whole army set off! Go forward at full speed. We will march forcibly through the night!" Taishi Ci shouted. All the troops that had been on guard, got up, took the dry food prepared by Taishi Ci's orders, and headed towards Jizhou under the leadership of their respective team leader.

As for the troops garrison in other city that were originally issued the order to be on alert, were all guarding strictly. None of them went out of the city to block the enemy. Their task was to block the enemy after receiving the order. At other times, they should guard their respective cities. As for guarding Bohai county, this is what Nanpi soldiers should do.

Ju Shou's approach is not wrong, it can even be said to be very good. After all, every city has a small defensive force. Instead of letting them block the enemy, it is better to let them rely on the city wall to defend, which can delay a lot of time!

More importantly, if Taishan does not remove these cities, and they later retreat, there will only be a dead end if the back road is intercepted. Therefore, if Qingzhou really wants to fight Jizhou, they can only attack the first city it meet, and capture it for a stable rear. Otherwise, if they are defeated, the entire army will be in danger of collapsing.

But Taishi Ci clearly knew that they were not going to attack the city this time, but to purely plunder Nanpi city. Even if there was an accident, if Guan Yu could order the messenger to send this kind of news, it must mean that Nanpi city has been won. If twenty thousand people can entered Nanpi city, it doesn't matter if they can't get out.

Chen Xi, the planner at the center of this, thought about it before he left. He kept Fa Zheng in Licheng to let the Fa Zheng count the time. If something goes wrong, he will notify Liu Bei to come and force Jizhou's attention to them, but it belongs to the step of just in case.

But fortunately, everything was as Chen Xi had estimated. Ju Shou was as good at strategy as in history. He was cautious and prudent, plus he had the overall situation as the priority. The result was to directly be slaughtered by Chen Xi. But it is also because Chen Xi look very young. It is easy for other people to label him as young and frivolous that disregard the overall situation.

This time Chen Xi directly followed Ju Shou's character and pitted him. Making you so cautious, making you pay attention to the general situation, making you think I'm young and frivolous, then I'll give you crazy. I'm bullying you, so bite me!

The pride on Chen Xi's face can even be seen by Ju Shou, but after seeing this, Ju Shou is relieved. At least Chen Xi is still in the scope of a teenager. If he is so mature that his joy and anger are nonexistent, then Ju Shou must think about it. Whether to remind Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and Xu You with his death, so as to not underestimate Chen Xi and cause the situation to become uncontrollable.

Now that Chen Xi is showing a proud look, Ju Shou feels a lot more relieved. As long as he is still a teenager, he can't avoid arrogance. Ju Shou has already planned to give Chen Xi reputations after this incident, so that Liu Bei will fear him!

Ju Shou does not believe that Chen Xi can always maintained his own mentality under such a high reputation. For a young man that is in power and famous all over the world, Ju Shou did not believe that when the time come, the world's mouth would not be able to kill Chen Xi, a person who hasn't grown up. Aren't you a wise man? I'll be a stepping stone for you this time, so that you can show off your wisdom. If I don't let you become famous all over the world, I won't be called Ju Shou!

Naturally, Chen Xi didn't know that Ju Shou had already begun to calculate him, but there was no other way. The troubled world is nothing more than you calculating me and I calculating you. The whole situation in the world is the result of calculations by counselors. Soldiers come to cover the water. It's nothing more than that.

"Ju Shou, why don't you join us? I think you are a good person." Chen Xi asked. He had given Ju Shou a portion of egg fried rice. He also carried a bowl and was eating it. He tried to persuade Ju Shou give up while eating.

Ju Shou was eating the fragrant egg fried rice and feeling that there was something wrong with what he had eaten before. But after hearing Chen Xi's words, he raised his head and said, "Don't you know that a loyal minister does not have a second master. You, Chen Xi, doesn't have the heart to persuade me, right?"

"Isn't this talking nonsense during dinner? I feel embarrassed when I open my mouth at other times." Chen Xi said nonchalantly.

"I don't have this heart, and I know what I want, so why bother?" Ju Shou frowned and said, very puzzled by Chen Xi's words.

"Isn't this the usual thing for talking nonsense? I'm not familiar with Ju Shou, so I just find some random topics." Chen Xi casually said. He wanted to exasperate Ju Shou.
