Seeing that Hu Zhen was unwilling to speak up for him, Li Su braced himself and apologized,"Lord Lieutenant, please give me a chance.”
A real man could yield and stand up!
Li Su secretly swore that he would pay back the humiliation today a hundredfold in the future!
"Fork it out!"
Dong Cheng was too lazy to waste his breath on Li Su.
If Hu Zhen hadn't reacted quickly, Dong Cheng would have removed Hu Zhen from his position!
Bringing Chen Hui 'er along to participate in the military meeting was Dong Cheng's doing on purpose.
The goal was simple!
Dong Cheng wanted to establish his prestige and kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!
A hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
He might be able to avoid it, but he couldn't escape it.
Since Hu Zhen didn't fall for it, then he could only let him die under Cheng Pu's spear like in the performance!
After taking back the military authority of the archer camp, Dong Cheng let Zhao Cen concurrently be the commander of the archer camp.
However, Zhao Cen only had the right to train soldiers and not command them.
Commanding the archer camp required Dong Cheng's order to be mobilized.
Zhao Cen immediately thanked him!
It didn't matter whether he had military power or not. Zhao Cen didn't care about this.
What Zhao Cen cared about was Dong Cheng's trust!
"Bao Zhong is just a small character. What we need to treat seriously is Sun Jianjun, who will arrive in a day.”
"Sun Jian is known as the Tiger of River East. He has Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao as his subordinates. Most of his soldiers are elites who survived the battlefield and are strong opponents of Mushui Pass.”
"Zhao Cen, you will be in charge of coordinating the shield and archer camps.”
"Hu Zhen, Hua Xiong, tonight, you two will lead your troops and hide ten miles east of Mushui Pass. Use the strategy of exhausting the troops to delay the advance of Sun Jian's army and attack their morale!”
After dealing with Li Su, Dong Cheng began to issue orders.
"Hwa Xiong accepts the order."
Hwa Xiong did not hesitate.
The moment Dong Cheng's order was given, he immediately agreed.
Hu Zhen looked at Hwa Xiong in surprise.
He actually agreed to such an order?
We are defending the pass, not retreating the enemy!
With just the troops of the main division, they wanted to tire out their troops. Were they sure they weren't going to die?
Hu Zhen wanted to say something but stopped.
Thinking of Li Su's fate, Hu Zhen finally chose to accept the order.
"Commandant Hua, Lord Lieutenant, are you trying to send us to our deaths?”
He left the military conference hall.
Hu Zhen finally couldn't help but ask Hua Xiong.
This iron fool, Hua Xiong, simply did not have the heart to guard against others at all. This made Hu Zhen secretly a little angry.
If Hwa Xiong hadn't agreed so straightforwardly, he wouldn't have been so troubled!
"Commandant Hu, Hwa Xiong doesn't understand what you mean!”
Hua Xiong had always been proud and did not have a good impression of Hu Zhen, a general who did not have much martial strength but was on the same level as him.
"The scouts reported that Sun Jian led 10,000 troops. If they were to defend Mushui Pass, it would be impossible for Sun Jian's 10,000 troops to take down Mushui Pass!”
"However, our army doesn't even have two thousand men. We're going to die!”
Hu Zhen said indignantly.
The so-called main force was actually Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen's personal guard unit.
The ordinary soldiers were not well-equipped and had been left behind. They were lacking in martial arts, combat experience, and physique.
Their main responsibility was to defend Mushui Pass.
Usually, it was the personal guard unit that went out of the city to fight.
They were well-equipped and had elite soldiers. Generals like Hu Zhen relied on them to kill enemies and make contributions.
Hua Xiong had 500 cavalry and Hu Zhen had 800 spearmen.
They would usually cooperate with ordinary soldiers in battle.
After all, there were only so many people, and the blades on the battlefield were merciless. It was impossible for them to use their own personal guards as cannon fodder.
Dong Cheng's order this time was for the two of them to lead the Guards unit to stop Sun Jian's ten thousand strong army.
To Hu Zhen, who didn't understand what a strategy of exhausting soldiers was, this was equivalent to sending them to their deaths!
"I really don't know how you became a commandant. The Prime Minister actually sent you to Mushui Pass!”
Hwa Xiong sneered.
He was even more disdainful of Hu Zhen!
"Hwa Xiong, how dare you underestimate me? If you have something to say, just say it!"
Hu Zhen was already holding back his anger, and now that he was mocked by Hwa Xiong, he was even angrier!
Hua Xiong didn't want to say much, but when he remembered that Hu Zhen had to carry out military affairs with him tonight, he explained the strategy of exhausting his troops.
"Our goal is to make sure that Sun Jian's army of ten thousand won't be able to eat or sleep well tonight, and that they won't be able to attack tomorrow.”
"Fortunately! I'm a cavalry commandant, not a spearman commandant!”
Hwa Xiong threw down this sentence and ignored Hu Zhen.
"Bastard!"
"Damn Hua Xiong, just because he is the prime minister's favorite, he is so arrogant!”
Hu Zhen did not understand the strategy of exhausting the army.
But Hu Zhen understood Hua Xiong's mockery.
What he meant was…
Even if the strategy of exhausting the troops failed because of Hu Zhen's stupidity, Hua Xiong was leading the cavalry and could move as fast as the wind. Even if Sun Jian had ten thousand soldiers, he would not be able to do anything to Hua Xiong!
"All of you underestimate me!"
"When I take Sun Jian's head tonight, I, Hu Zhen, will be the first to take credit!”
While feeling ashamed and angry, Hu Zhen thought of a plan that he thought was brilliant!
He wanted to use Hwa Xiong as bait.
Then, they would ambush Sun Jian!
"I don't understand the strategy of exhausting soldiers, but in terms of ambushes, I, Hu Zhen, dare to say that I'm second, and who under the Prime Minister dares to say that I'm first!”
