    ?

    Wu Youdao hurried out of the city, and hurried all the way, and soon arrived at the place where the military camp was stationed.  Back in the barracks, Zou Yi had already greeted him before he reached the tent.

    Zou Yi was curious and couldn't wait to ask: "Prime Minister, how is the situation?"

    Wu Youdao said: "What else can I do? Naturally, Du Qi is not happy. I said that the army came from the southern country, and the journey was not easy. Now they are short of food, equipment, soldiers' pay, etc., but Du Qi only gave 30,000 shi of food and asked us to return.  He also said that if he wants to attack the rest of the country of fire, he will supply everything by himself. Du Qi did it on purpose, and he is so tyrannical because he is sure of us."

    Zou Yi also had a gloomy face.

    He seemed very displeased.

    Du Qi was too arrogant. He captured Guangyin County, the capital of the Fire Kingdom, and obtained countless money and food. In the end, he was reluctant to part with even a little money. He was so stingy, which was tantamount to humiliating the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom.

    Zou Yi said in a deep voice: "This matter must not be left alone. Otherwise, how can we explain to the thousands of people in our southern country, and how can we go back and explain to the king?"

    When Wu Youdao heard Zou Yi's words, his heart skipped a beat.

    It is definitely inappropriate to start a war.

    Fighting with Du Qi right now is a matter of losing both sides, and Wu Youdao disagrees.

    Wu Youdao reminded: "General Zou, no matter what, we can't start a war at will. If you are impulsive at this time, then in the end, we will end up in a difficult situation, which is not appropriate."

    Zou Yi said: "I am still clear about this point of propriety."

    He and Wu Youdao hurried on the road hand in hand, returned to the big tent of the Chinese army together, and sat down separately.

    Zou Yi's eyes were fierce, and he said: "Prime Minister, this time, there must be a result. If this is the case, I am not convinced. The matter must not be left alone."

    Wu Youdao said in a deep voice: "Under the current situation, what are you going to do? Du Qi has already retreated into Guangyin County. The square gates of Guangyin County are all under Du Qi's control. Under such circumstances  , if we really want to go to war, we will be in a disadvantageous position, after all, if we attack Guangyin County by force, we will lose a lot."

    Zou Yi said: "Prime Minister, you asked me to think of a way. I can't think of anything for the time being. But I just don't want to be bullied by Du Qi like this. You are a wise man, and you are good at making suggestions.  , you find a plan."

    Wu Youdao smiled bitterly.

    Zou Yi really gave him a difficult problem.

    In other words, Zou Yi is actually looking for a way out. After all, they have suffered a lot by shooting themselves in the foot this time. After all, they have to find a way to alleviate their embarrassing situation.

    Wu Youdao thought carefully.

    After a while, Wu Youdao had a smile on his face, and said: "I have an idea, but I don't know if this idea is feasible?"

    Zou Yi said: "What do you think?"

    Wu Youdao said solemnly: "This time, let's invite Du Qilai to make a bet. We will have a contest with Du Qi's men, from the contest of generals, to the accuracy of artillery, and finally the contest of soldiers.  We will fight each of the three contests one by one. In this way, we will win two out of three rounds. As long as we win, Du Qi will take out a batch of money, food and armor. In this way, we will retreat on our own and attack other places.  If we lose, we will retreat on our own."

    After hearing this, Zou Yi also had a look of anticipation on his face, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, this is a good suggestion. Prime Minister, you are worthy of being a wise man. You are really smart."

    Wu Youdao shook his head and said: "Although I have put forward my opinion in this way, I don't know if it will succeed in the end. What if Du Qi refuses directly? Du Qi is very strong and difficult to deal with.  .¡±

    Zou Yi laughed, looking confident, and said forcefully: "If Du Qi is unwilling, then we will attack by force. I don't believe that Du Qi dares to bear such a price."

    Wu Youdao disagreed with Zou Yi's attitude and said: "General Zou, don't be impulsive. Once impulsive, various problems will easily arise. In short, don't be in a hurry now, because once the war starts, we may suffer in the end. Even  , and further affect the relationship between the two countries. Although there are some frictions and problems between the two sides at the moment, overall, it does not affect the alliance between the two parties."

    Zou Yi said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I know what to do and what not to do. It's just that I can't swallow this bad breath. Du Qi is really deceiving people too much."

    Wu Youdao said: "Okay, tomorrow morning, I will go to see Du Qi again, and see what Du Qi has to say, so I won't go today. Otherwise, ?It's like rushing ducks to the shelves.  "

    Zou Yi said: "Prime Minister, I think we should go again now."

    Wu Youdao asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

    Zou Yi said: "Because all the officers and men in the army were dissatisfied, you went again immediately. If you go again tomorrow morning, what's the point? On the contrary, it made Du Qi think that we did it on purpose, after careful consideration.  The strategy that came to mind. So I think it¡¯s time to make the move.¡±

    After Wu Youdao heard it, he thought about it carefully, finally nodded and said: "Okay, just follow what General Zou said."

    He set out immediately to leave the camp.

    Wu Youdao entered the city again, and after arriving in the city, he went straight to the palace.  When he entered the palace and saw Du Qi, he bowed to Du Qi again and said, "King Xia."

    Du Qi said: "Prime Minister Wu came to see me again, but what's the matter? Could it be that he is going to take away 30,000 shi of grain? Don't worry, I'm ready. If you want to take it away, just arrange soldiers to come."

    Wu Youdao's cheeks twitched.

    Du Qi is a person who really holds grudges. He just had some conflicts with Du Qi before, but now when Du Qi opens his mouth, he feels a little weird and sounds uncomfortable.

    Wu Youdao looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "I came to His Highness this time to make a bet with King Xia. I don't know, would King Xia dare to accept it?"

    Du Qi asked, "What bet?"

    Wu Youdao said: "King Xia and our southern side will compete in two out of three rounds. In the first round, the strength of the generals will be compared. In the second round, the strength of the weapons will be compared. Both sides will send artillery to compete with the artillery.  Boom's strength; in the third game, each send a team to fight on the battlefield."

    "If King Xia's side wins, our soldiers in the southern kingdom will dispatch their troops and leave without saying a word, and go to attack the rest of the place on their own, without asking King Xia to share any benefits."

    "If our side wins, then King Xia needs to take part of Chen Can's money and food and distribute it to our southern side to ensure that we can also get a share."

    Wu Youdao looked at Du Qi, with a hint of hope in his eyes, and said, "I don't know King Xia, but dare to give it a try?"

    After Du Qi heard it, he immediately laughed.

    Wu Youdao asked: "What is King Xia laughing at?"

    Du Qi said: "What this king is laughing at is that you Wu Youdao is the prime minister of the Southern Kingdom after all, and you have done such a tricky thing. You are the one who made the leap, and whoever wins the county seat will have to deal with everything."  who owns it."

    "But in the end, you regretted it and made a bet with me."

    "The most ridiculous thing is that you make a bet. If you win, you take advantage of it. If you lose, you don't need to pay anything, you just need to withdraw. Such a bet, such a way of doing things, makes people disagree."

    "Southland, that's all."

    Du Qi's eyes were extremely sharp, and he said: "Wu Youdao, you said what the king said, right?"

    Wu Youdao's face was also a little hot.

    He has always been known for his faith.

    But this time in front of Du Qi, he lost all face.  Even for the sake of profit, he even gave up his old face, and didn't pay attention to rules and faith at all, which was really uncomfortable.

    However, when it comes to the interests of the Southern Kingdom, Wu Youdao can't ignore it. He can only ignore his face. He forced a smile and said, "King Xia, do you dare to fight?"

    Du Qi said: "Although I am disappointed with your Southern Kingdom and Wu Youdao, I am not afraid. If you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end."

    The battle mentioned by Wu Youdao was tailor-made for Du Qi.

    Du Qi was enough to win easily.

    It can even crush the opponent.

    Therefore, Wu Youdao took the initiative to ask for a fight, which was equivalent to sending his face in front of Du Qi, and Du Qi would not miss it.  Moreover, this matter can also be used to beat the army of the southern country.

    Seeing Du Qi's response, Wu Youdao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he bowed his hands and left.

    Next, I have to go back and prepare.

    Prepare for tomorrow's battle.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
