    After a while, Xu Kang ran out with a look of horror on his face and shouted.

    "It's not good!!! Brother, my mother wants to hang herself between the beams! I can't stop it, brother, come in quickly!!"

    When Xu Shu heard this, his face changed drastically and he was at a loss. When he rushed in to save her, he saw that Xu's mother was already hanging high.  Xu Shu was a filial son. His father died young and he was raised by Xu's mother.  For a moment, Xu Shu felt that his head was exploding, and he rushed to hold him up. After saving Xu's mother, Xu's mother struggled again and was about to hang herself.  Xu Shu knelt down and cried.

    "The mother is scaring the child! The children are all paid by the mother. How dare the child disobey the mother's orders! The children must go through fire and water to repay the kindness the Xu family has received!"

    After hearing this, Xu's mother's anger faded slightly and she told Xu Shu.

    "The champion is a leader who loves the people. Although I am a female generation, I also know that the current imperial court is no longer used by the Han Dynasty and is controlled by traitors. My son is talented. If he cannot plead for the people and save him from all difficulties, what can he learn?  Use? I look at the champion as the great ancestor who overthrew the Qin Dynasty in the past. Such a wise lord actually favors my son, how can I not join him?"

    In order to appease his mother, Xu Shu agreed immediately, but in fact, he was not yet loyal to Wen Hansheng in his heart.  After all, hearing is false and seeing is believing. Whether Wen Han is a thief in troubled times or a sage who can stabilize the country, Xu Shu will never be loyal to him without personally confirming it.  Even if his mother forces him, he will only pretend to be an official, but will not make any plans.

    But after all, the Xu family has received great favor from others, and as his mother said, once Cao Cao's troops come to the northwest, the people in the northwest will suffer a great disaster.  Later, under the introduction of Xu Kang, Xu Shu met Xilong again and made a gentleman's agreement with him.  Xu Shu is willing to make suggestions for this crisis in the northwest, but only this time, it is all to repay his kindness and save the people.  Whether he wants to become an official under Wen Han or not, he still needs to make a decision after meeting Wen Han in the future.  Xilong was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately sent Xu Shu to Bingzhou to temporarily take over the post of military advisor of Bingzhou army to assist Gao Shun.  Xu Shu packed his bags that day, said goodbye to his mother, and rushed to Bingzhou overnight.

    It is said that at this time, Gao Shun had led Xu Shu to the lobby of Bingzhou County Government. Xu Shu, Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er, Pei Yuanshao and others took their seats one after another, and everyone sat down.

    Gao Shun had already learned from the document sent by Xilong earlier that Xu Shu was capable.  It is said in Xilong's book that Xu Shu is a unique genius. Not only is he a master of strategy, but he is also familiar with the art of war and is also good at using troops and formations.  With this person in charge of Bingzhou this time, we can rest easy.

    Gao Shun's majestic tiger eyes looked at Xu Shu with infinite hope and asked respectfully.

    "Currently, Cao Cao's general Xia Houyuan has gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou. He is ready to cross the border between the two states and send troops to merge the two states at any time. I wonder if the military advisor has a plan to deal with it?"

    Xu Shu¡¯s expression was calm and unhurried. He looked into Gao Shun¡¯s eyes and spoke softly.

    "Do you dare to ask me to take a look at the map of Taiyuan?"

    Gao Shun was slightly startled when he heard this. Zhang Xiu, Pei Yuanshao and other generals also frowned. This map is a secret. Xu Shu is not yet an adviser to the Wen family. If he has evil intentions, he should remember the content when viewing the map and then make a plan.  One is dedicated to Cao Jun.  Then Taiyuan County will be in disaster!

    When Zhang Xiu, Pei Yuanshao and other generals were about to scold him, Gao Shun calmed down and ordered the map of Taiyuan to be presented to them.

    "General Gao! This map is an important secret, how can we let outsiders!!!"

    Zhang Xiu stood up angrily, but before he finished speaking, Gao Shun interrupted with a firm face.

    "Sir, he is a person sent by Marquis Shenzhi. Although he temporarily holds the position of military advisor, he is actually sent by Marquis Shenzhi, and he is a member of our army. Don't be suspicious, General Zhang."

    Hearing this, Zhang Xiu looked at Gao Shun for a while.  In Gao Shun's magnanimous eyes, Zhang Xiu seemed to understand something, and then apologized to Xu Shu.  Xu Shu quickly stood up and returned the gift, secretly praising Gao Shun's generosity in employing people without doubting others.

    After a while, two soldiers presented a map of Taiyuan. Xu Shu's eyes flickered as he looked at the map unfolded on the shore and listened intently.  The entire lobby gradually became dead silent.  None of them had any background, so they were afraid of disturbing Xu Shu's thoughts.

    About half an hour passed, Xu Shu showed a small smile on his face, stood up, bowed to Gao Shun, and said in a solemn voice.

    "I have a good plan, but I am afraid that I will be humble and have a low voice, so the generals will not listen to my orders."

    Gao Shun's eyes narrowed and he looked at Xu Shu, who looked at each other calmly.  Then Gao Shun suddenly made another decision that surprised the generals.

    "I can give the military master the sword seal. If anyone disobeys your order, I will kill him with a swing of my sword!"

    When Pei Yuanshao heard this, he immediately wanted to have a fit, but Zhang Xiu, who was sitting next to him, held him down and signaled with his eyes.  Pei Yuanshao gritted his teeth and held off his attack for the time being.  At this time, Xu Shu was a little surprised, and secretly thought that it was no wonder that Wen Han would hand Ruoda Yizhou into the hands of Gao Shun. With this man's magnanimity, one could see that he was extraordinary.

      As for the reason why Gao Shun is so relieved, firstly, it is because Xilong has a high opinion of Xu Shu, and secondly, Xilong also said that Xu Shu is a filial son, and his mother and younger brother are now living in Hedong.  Gao Shun was not afraid that Xu Shu would have an affair with Cao Jun.

    So Gao Shun handed over the sword seal to Xu Shu. Xu Shu took the sword seal, got up and walked to the hall, calling for the generals to obey his order.  Pei Yuanshao's face was very angry, Zhang Xiu whispered in his ear.

    "General Pei, we will listen to the order first and see how he arranges it. If something is wrong, we will discuss it privately with General Gao."

    Pei Yuanshao was one of the earliest followers of Wen Han. He had a high reputation in the army and could be ranked among ten people.  Even Gao Shun respects him quite a bit.  However, Pei Yuanshao was not the arrogant person who claimed his merits. He immediately suppressed his anger and attended the meeting together with Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er and other generals, and came to the front of the hall to receive the order.

    Xu Shu¡¯s eyes flickered, exuding a wise and wise aura, and he said in a condensed voice.

    "Twenty miles away from Taiyuan, there is a mountain on the left, called Anshan, and a forest on the right, called Binlin. These two places can ambush troops and horses. General Zhang can lead 3,000 troops to Anshan to ambush, and wait for the army to arrive.  When the enemy passes by, his baggage and food and grass will be behind him. When the time comes, you can wait for the opportunity to attack at the right time and burn his food and grass. Food and grass are the lifeblood of the army. If they are burned, the morale of Cao's army will be in chaos. It is General Zhang's responsibility.  It¡¯s very important, don¡¯t miss anything!¡±

    "What!"

    Zhang Xiu heard the words, cupped his hands and drank, accepting the order.  Then Xu Shu said again.

    "General Pei can lead 3,000 troops to ambush in the valley behind Binlin. Just watch the fire on the left, and then attack, kill Cao Jun's front army, and take advantage of the situation. Cao Jun will definitely be in chaos. This can also buy time for General Zhang.  If Cao's army loses all its food and supplies, it will naturally be unable to continue fighting with the state and withdraw. General Gao can immediately use his troops to cover up and defeat him."

    After hearing this, Pei Yuanshao frowned and asked in doubt.

    "Xia Houyuan is a famous general of the Cao family. He has always been cautious in his troops. I'm afraid he won't fall into the trap so easily! If he is discovered by then, the other army will use his plan. I'm afraid that our ambushing army will be annihilated!"

    Regarding Pei Yuanshao¡¯s doubts, Xu Shu smiled and said.

    "Haha. What General Pei said makes sense. But I have already made up my mind. I also ask General Hu to lead an army to the front to resist the other army first. If Xiahou Yuan sends a general to fight, don't win, just lose. General Hu retreats all the way, Gao  The general will bring his own troops as backup, just in case. Everyone must act according to the plan, and they will succeed immediately!"

    Pei Yuanshao listened to Xu Shu's arrangements, but he was still unhappy and asked aloud.

    "We all went out to meet the enemy, but what did we do before we reviewed the military advisors?"

    "I will just sit and guard the county and wait for the generals to return with a great victory!" When Pei Yuanshao heard this, he became angry and said with a huge smile.

    "We all go to fight, but you sit at home and watch, so comfortable!"

    Xu Shu¡¯s expression changed, and he raised his sword seal and shouted loudly.

    "The sword seal is here, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

    "Xu Yuanzhi, how dare you!!!"

    Pei Yuanshao was so angry that his chest heaved and he was about to explode.  Gao Shun saw this and said quickly.

    "Don't you hear that in the midst of strategizing, a decisive victory can be achieved thousands of miles away? The military strategist's plan is indescribable. General Pei must not disobey the order and miss a big event!" Pei Yuanshao gritted his teeth. At present, the entire northwest was being spied on. In the midst of danger, Pei Yuanshao knew it.  To solve the difficulty of merging the states, we can only rely on Xu Shu's wisdom.  Pei Yuanshao heard this and apologized to Xu Shu.  Xu Shu nodded slightly and bowed in return.

    "Then the generals retreated, and Hu Che'er comforted Pei Yuanshao in his ears.

    "There is no need to be angry, General Pei. We should wait and see what his plans are, but it's not too late to ask him then!"

    Pei Yuanshao nodded after hearing the words, and looked at each other with Zhang Xiu and Hu Cheer. There was uneasiness and doubt in their eyes.  All the generals are unaware of Xu Shu Tao's strategy. Although they have listened to the order, they are still uncertain.

    Seeing that the generals were retreating, Xu Shu turned around and reported to Gao Shun.

    "General Gao can lead his troops to camp at the border of Taiyuan today. Cao's army will arrive at dusk the next day, so General Gao will abandon the camp and leave. But when he sees a fire, he will return to the army to cover up the killing. Taiyuan is guarded by the common people as a precaution.  One, General Gao doesn¡¯t have to worry.¡±

    Xu Shu then ordered his officials to prepare a celebration banquet and arrange a merit book to serve it.  The allocation has been completed, and Gao Shun is also a little confused.

    But it was said that Xia Houyuan, Le Jin and others led troops to the realm of Taiyuan, and divided half of the elite troops into the front line, while the rest were used to protect the grain carts.  Fifty thousand Cao's troops were like a long dragon wandering between heaven and earth.  Xia Houyuan marched cautiously, and with Xun You at his side to teach him, he sent more scouts to explore wherever he went.  When Xia Houyuan was approaching 20 miles away from Taiyuan City, suddenly there was a heavy dust storm in front, and a large force of about 5,000 soldiers and horses came quickly to kill.  The leading general, carrying two sledgehammers, is Hu Che'er.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Ye'er stared with evil eyes as big as copper bells, and shouted angrily before riding out.

    "My military lord and Prime Minister Cao have always kept the river water from the well water. Now you are sending troops to invade my Bingzhou territory. What do you want to do!!?"

    Xia Houyuan narrowed his eyes, immediately rushed out with his gun in hand, came to the front of the formation and shouted.

    "Wen Bufan despises the imperial court and has no ruler. He is a thief! Although the prime minister is friends with the military princes and even friends, the emperor's order cannot be violated. Therefore, we are sent to send troops to exterminate! You are all ministers of the Han Dynasty, why should you help the thief?  Abuse! If you are willing to dismount and surrender, I can intercede with the Prime Minister to save you from the crime of waiting!"

    "Absurd! Our Lord pays tribute every year and never disobeys the imperial orders! On the contrary, Prime Minister Cao controls the country, uses the world as a puppet, and holds the emperor hostage to order the princes. Everyone in the world knows it! From what I see, Prime Minister Cao is the traitor in troubled times!  My lord must be seriously injured now and wants to devour my northwest land!"

    Xia Houyuan was furious when he heard this. He respected Cao Cao the most in his life and could not tolerate others saying something wrong.  As soon as Hu Cheer finished speaking, Xia Houyuan's eyes widened, he roared loudly, and immediately rode his horse to kill him.  Hu Che'er showed no fear and raised his hammers to greet him.  The two horses charged each other, and Xia Houyuan was angry and killed him with a fierce attack.  Hu Che'er was born with supernatural power and swung his hammers to block, resisting Xia Houyuan's fierce attack.  After the two of them killed each other for more than a dozen times, Hu Che'er was at a slight disadvantage and his moves gradually became messy.  Xia Houyuan immediately stepped up his offensive and wanted to kill Hu Che'er.  Hu Che'er shouted loudly, and used both hammers to stop Xia Houyuan's gun.  There was a loud bang, and Xia Houyuan's expression changed slightly. Just when he was about to resume his offensive, Hu Che'er had already taken the opportunity to escape on horseback.

    Xia Houyuan was furious and rode after him.  Xun You quickly ordered his soldiers to come out to kill him.  Hu Che'er led Xia Houyuan and the soldiers and horses in front of him to gallop all the way. As soon as they reached an intersection, there was a burst of cannon fire.  Gao Shun led the army to fight.  Xia Houyuan was startled and quickly ordered his soldiers to be on guard.  Hu Che'er turned around to kill Xia Houyuan, and Gao Shun rode his horse to help the battle.  Xia Houyuan was calm in the face of danger, stood up with a gun, and fought against the two generals. At the same time, soldiers from both sides killed each other.

    The battle was getting intense, and Xun You's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought to himself that the soldiers and horses in the front of the army were chasing the Hu Che'er all the way, far away from the soldiers and horses in the rear. At this time, they were entangled by Gao Shun's soldiers and horses. If the soldiers in the rear were entangled,  The horses were ambushed, the supplies and supplies were burned, and the consequences were disastrous!  !  !

    After Xun You thought about it, he immediately ordered Xia Houen to lead a group of troops and horses to rush back to the rear troops and horses.
