Xiapi City had more than 30,000 troops stationed there. The city's defenses were strong and there was sufficient food. The most critical thing was the moat, which caused the soldiers who were attacking the city to make a lot of sacrifices just to move the scaling ladders over.
Three to five days?
He probably wouldn't even have the chance to build a pontoon bridge.
However, Old Xu's mood wasn't affected much.
After all, the young man was just a cook. He could not really be expected to defeat the enemy.
"Old Xu, look at your expression. You don't believe me?”
The young man looked at Old Xu unhappily. He didn't say these words to outsiders. He only told you because he thought highly of you. How dare you doubt him?
Old Xu laughed." Good, good, good. Then tell me, how can Xiapi be conquered in three to five days?"”
He had thought that he was unrivaled in this camp when it came to Hai Chui. He had not expected to meet his match today.
Since he couldn't fall asleep when he went back, Old Xu took the initiative to get a pot of wine from the stove this time, ready to see how much more he could brag.
"I say, Old Xu, you drank too much. Tomorrow, the boss will definitely find out that it's not enough. You have to write a note for me when you go back, so that he won't take it out on me!”
The young man's heart ached.
This Old Xu wasn't drinking wine. He was drinking it like water. No matter how much rice he had, he couldn't make it like this.
My job as a cook isn't easy. Don't let you drink it all up.
Old Xu looked at the wine pot in his hand and said disdainfully,"Little brother, don't worry. If the boss dares to say anything, I'll cut off his head.”
These words made the young man's body tremble. The chief registrar had the power to kill?
He couldn't afford to offend her, he couldn't afford to offend her.
"You continue to brag…No, you continue to talk. I'll drink.”
The young man took a sip of wine and said,"
"Do you know that the best defense of Xiapi City is its biggest weakness?”
" The best defense…" Old Xu scratched his head and thought for a long time."Are you trying to say that the Si River is his weakness?”
"That's right, it's the Si River! Using the Si River to break through the city, Lu Bu would have to surrender obediently in a few days.”
After confirming with his eyes, he was a braggart.
Old Xu Xun looked at the young man with a red face. His arrogant words did not make Old Xu feel disgusted. Instead, it made him feel that he could be friends with him regardless of age.
He had no choice. In this military camp, all the soldiers were afraid of him.
Xu Huang, Xia Hou, and the others had a strict personality and didn't get along with him.
Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and the other strategists were talented, but they loved to act cool. He didn't like them.
This chef didn't know him, and he kept calling him Old Xu as if they were good brothers for many years. When he bragged, even Lu Bu was a common man. It was fun.
"Then may I ask little brother, this Si River is a moat, how can it be used to attack a city?”
"Stupid brain. I've already made it so obvious, but you still don't understand?”The young man looked disappointed.
Old Xu was stunned for a moment. F * ck, other than Cao Cao, you're the second person who dares to say that about me.
The young man suddenly realized that he was standing in front of the registrar, his immediate superior. He did not give him the chance to get angry and hurriedly continued,
"Old Xu, you're using your spear to attack your shield.”
"Think about it, how turbulent is the Si River? If there is a rainstorm, the water will definitely rise by several feet. At that time, we will send people to dig the river bank and guide the water into Xiapi City. Let me ask you, is Lu Bu defeated or not, is Xiapi broken or not?”
Old Xu: (⊙▽⊙ "a
Oh my god, this young man was a little monstrous!
It was as if no one had ever thought of a problem like this before.
However, Old Xu thought about it carefully. This method would definitely work.
Moreover, Old Xu was certain that Lu Bu and Chen Gong would never have thought that someone would use their moat to attack.
However…
"Little brother, your idea is really good. It's just that the prerequisites are a little difficult. We still have to wait for a rainstorm.”
"But it's already not bad, you're not worse than that drunkard!”
Ignoring the drunkard Old Xu was talking about, the young man suddenly stood up and shouted,"
"Old Xu, I observed the weather at night. There will definitely be a rainstorm tomorrow, and it will last for several days. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
Old Xu was so excited that his entire body was trembling. F * ck, he knew how to observe the weather at night? That was a truly awesome level!
He didn't expect that the military camp's kitchen was actually hiding a shocking genius!
This was great. He was about to become his Bole. His Lord would definitely be very happy!
Wait a minute...
It seemed that something was wrong.
Old Xu raised his head and looked out the window. The sky was gloomy. Where did the stars come from?
The good impression that had just risen in his heart was instantly blown away.
Old Xu looked at the young man and said faintly,"Little brother, do you really know the art of astrology?"”
It was originally just a sarcastic remark, but unexpectedly, the young man became even more energetic. After taking a sip of wine, he said frankly,
"That's easy. When I was four, I studied the Book of Changes, the Eight Trigrams, Qimen Dunjia, astronomy, geography, the Four Books and Five Classics.”
The young man touched his aching joints. Do I have to tell you that I have rheumatism?
Now that his joints were hurting so badly, there would definitely be a heavy rain in the next few days.
But could the youngster tell Old Xu about this?
Anyway, bragging was not illegal. In this military camp, it was not easy to find someone who would drink with him and listen to him brag.
Moreover, he was his immediate superior. If he had a good relationship with him, he might be promoted to the boss.
When that time came, he wouldn't have to cook and he would be able to steal food every day. Wouldn't that be nice?
"Admirable, admirable. Little brother's talent is unprecedented. You have such high talent and knowledge at such a young age. If one day you join the army or become a military counselor, won't the lord easily sweep away the troubled times?”
Old Xu knew the loneliness of bragging without anyone to support him.
He could painfully understand that sense of loss.
At this moment, he didn't want the young man to feel the heartache he had felt over the years, so he hurriedly gave him a hand.
"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. I'm just a cook.”
"But then again, what's so good about being a general or a counselor?”
F * ck, what kind of brilliant theory was this?
Old Xu was amused by the youth and laughed heartily. He asked,""Little brother, why don't you tell me, why is being a cook more blissful than being a general or a counselor?”
"Look, as a general, you have to put your head on your belt and charge into the enemy's line of battle.
As a counselor, you have too few schemes. People say that you are trash and freeloaders. If the lord is in a bad mood one day, he might punish you.
If you had many schemes, the other dukes might even send assassins to assassinate you. Even the lord would be suspicious.”
It seemed…reasonable.
"But being a cook is different.
The victory or defeat of the army did not have much to do with him, right?
You've only heard of killing generals and strategists. Old Xu, have you heard of killing a cook?”
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting. Now that you mention it, I want to be a cook.”
"Alright, alright. It's not late anymore. It's time to go back and rest.”
Before he left, Old Xu looked back at the young man and asked,""Little brother, what's your name?"
"Qin Chuan, also known as Yunxiao."
"Qin Yunxiao, yes, Old Xu will remember you.”
