The Cao Cao army had been attacking for two days, increasing the pressure on the north gate. On the other hand, the south gate was quiet, as if Cao Cao was really planning to give up on the south gate and focus on attacking one gate.
That night, Xu Sheng, Zhang Zhao, Liu Bei and the others gathered together to discuss whether or not to send reinforcements from the south gate.
"The Cao army probably didn't notice the collapse of the south gate's wall and is determined to take down the north gate. I think it's better to transfer the south gate's guards over because the pressure on the north gate has been increasing these two days!”
This was the opinion of Liu Bei and the others.
However, Xu Sheng objected." No, the Cao army will definitely attack the south gate. The garrison cannot retreat. This is what the Young Master said. He will not be wrong!”
"Mr. Wang has been in a daze for the past two days and has rarely been awake. He can't take charge at all. The situation is changing rapidly. If the north gate was lost, what was the use of guarding the south gate?”
"This... What if the Cao army really attacked the south gate? Who can bear this responsibility?"
"This…"
There was no result.
Liu Bei turned to Zhang Zhao and asked,"Mister Zi Bu, what do you think?"”
Zhang Zhao was also in a difficult position." It's indeed inappropriate to transfer all of them. Why don't we transfer a portion over first?”
Liu Bei nodded." That's the only way!”
Only Xu Sheng persisted," But Young Master…"
"Wen Xiang, don't worry about it. The Cao army is attacking the north gate now, so we can only protect the north gate first.”
Xu Sheng sighed dispiritedly." Alright, Mr. Zibu will transfer a portion of the troops to reinforce the north gate. If the Cao army really attacks the south gate, I will defend until you come to help. As long as the north gate is here, I will be here!" If the North Gate is lost, I will die!"
Everyone sighed, but they had no choice. This was the only way now!
Just as they were about to mobilize the troops, Dian Wei walked over." Young Master is awake. He knows your troubles and asked me to invite you over.”
Everyone was overjoyed and quickly rushed into Wang Mou's ward. Hua Tuo's eyelids twitched. He wanted to get angry, but he held it in and turned to leave while cursing.
"I already know the situation, and I understand everyone's worries.”
Seeing that Wang Mou was in good spirits, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Please advise me, Young Master!"
With Dian Wei's help, Wang Mou leaned his upper body against the ground and spoke with confidence.
"Cao Cao's scouts are spread all over Peng City. Cao Cao definitely knows about the collapse of the south gate. As for why he didn't attack this place? That was because he knew that our army would definitely defend to the death. If he wanted to settle this in a single battle, he would have to relax the security at the south gate. It was still the same sentence, this was his diversion!”
Zhang Zhao wanted to speak, but Wang Mou waved his hand to stop him." Listen to me!”
"If he was facing other people, he would only attack the north gate for a day before turning to attack the south gate. However, he had suffered a few losses at my hands, and he was a cautious and suspicious person. He was afraid that I would see through his plan, so he delayed it for another day to calm my heart and ease my doubts.”
"Two days is enough, plus I haven't appeared for two days, he will definitely guess that I'm seriously injured and can't manage anything. If it wasn't tonight, then tomorrow, the Cao army would definitely appear at the south gate in large numbers, and the focus of their attack would be that collapsed area.”
"Therefore, not only can we not transfer the guards of the south gate away, but we also have to strengthen the defense to ensure that nothing goes wrong!”
His words were reasonable and clear. Xu Sheng, Zhang Zhao, and Taishi Ci were convinced, but Liu Bei and the others were different. They did not have much contact with Wang Mou, so they were skeptical.
What you said is just your guess. What if you're wrong? Then Peng Cheng would be finished!
Looking at their reactions, Wang Mou knew what they were thinking!
"If you don't believe me, let your men guard the north gate and Xu Sheng guard the south gate.”
Guan Zhangzhao and Jian Yong turned to look at Liu Bei. He had to make the decision!
Liu Bei was also a courageous person. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and refused.
"Sir, you were able to deal with Cao Cao, whose army is twice as large as yours, for such a long time, and even made him suffer losses several times. How can we compare to what you think? Everyone, including my subordinates, is willing to listen to your orders. Please give your orders!”
Wang Mou smiled."The Great Ancestor was born at the bottom of the society. His abilities were mediocre, but he was able to make so many heroes follow him. He also knew how to make good use of people. In the end, he defeated Xiang Bawang, the greatest hero in the world, and unified the country to establish a strong Han Dynasty. Do you know why?”
Everyone was confused. Why was he asking about this?
Liu Bei asked,"Did Gaozu treat people with true feelings?"”
After saying that, Liu Bei's face turned red. If Liu Bang had true feelings, then he would not have killed the meritorious officials after he became emperor!
"Because Gaozu knows his limits. I don't know how to govern the country?" Wang Mou shook his head and smiled. It didn't matter, just leave it to Xiao He! I don't know how to lead troops to war? It didn't matter, this was Han Xin's strength! Can't make up your mind? It didn't matter, Zhang Liang was there to give advice! What I need to do is listen to their opinions because they are more capable than me. What they say will definitely not be wrong! I can't interfere too much, because it will only be a mess!”
"This is the highest realm of knowing and using people well! Just now, I saw some traces of my great-great-ancestor in you!”
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this. He compared me to Gaozu. Was he acknowledging me?
Guan Zhang replied with a 'at least you have good taste' look, which made Wang Mou not know whether to laugh or cry!
