Qin Hu's first stop came to Luoyang because of very important things. First, he needed to gather the grain, grass, troops and horses in Luoyang. Furthermore, he had ordered Xu Shiji to go west immediately to join him.

Because Liu Heitai's attack was too fierce, I heard that when he raised his army, there were only 800 people, but in just one month, they reached 100,000.

Moreover, every battle must be won, and the city and territory captured are invincible. The most terrifying thing is that the soldiers are united and there are no deserters or surrenders.

Although he has not caused large-scale harm to Yan State, this phenomenon can be said to be - too terrible. If he is allowed to continue to develop like this, it is not yet known who will win.

So Qin Hu must strangle Liu Heitai in the cradle.

To kill such a united force, we must fundamentally solve the problem.

So why do they have no deserters, and no one is willing to surrender?

According to various intelligence reports, the problem arises with Zhang Xutuo. Zhang Xutuo has been so unscrupulous recently that he drives people crazy. If they don't rebel, they are waiting to die.

If you rebel and run away, he will catch you, torture you in every possible way, and then kill you.

Those who surrendered were still trapped and killed. In short, no grass grew and no one was left alive.

This wrong approach made it impossible for the entire Hebei Army to surrender, let alone escape. Apart from death, they had only one way to go, and that was to win this battle.

Five days later, Qin Hu's leading troops arrived in Luoyang, but he did not enter the city, nor did he ask Zhang Xutuo to come out to meet him. Instead, he sent a message to Xu Shiji, asking him to come as quickly as possible.

Zhang Xutuo didn't realize anything, because he didn't think he was wrong from the beginning to the end. He felt that those converts were the source of trouble and should all be killed. Moreover, their lives were cheap, so it didn't matter if they died.

As for Qin Hu not summoning him out of the city for a meeting or entering Luoyang City, it was probably because he was worried about the war on the front line and had nothing to do with him.

Qin Hu kept waiting. The battle on the front line was tense, so he was not busy marching. He waited until the evening of the next day before he arrived at Xu Shiji. Xu Shiji seemed to have figured out Qin Hu's thoughts.

When he came to see Qin Hu, it was already late at night. Qin Hu still hadn't rested. He was pacing in the tent wearing a cloak. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly asked him to sit down.

"Maogong, sit down quickly."

"Your Majesty, the weather is cold and foggy, so you need to take care of yourself. I wonder why Your Majesty is not resting so late?" In fact, Xu Shiji asked knowingly.

Qin Hu was silent for a long time, not knowing how to speak, but he couldn't do it without speaking. The reason why he waited for two days was to ask Xu Shiji for advice.

"It's snowing heavily outside, General, thank you for your hard work." Qin Hu sighed: "We had already captured Hebei, but Liu Heitai actually made a comeback. The Hebei army was already very strong, but now it has become a tiger and wolf army.

, our army has been defeated frequently, and in just one month, Liu Heitai has restored all the land of Daxia, which is really worrying."

Xu Shiji knew what Qin Hu wanted to ask, so he remained silent. Don't say anything, he couldn't say it unless Qin Hu asked, and even if he asked, he had no intention of saying anything.

Because Qin Hu has the answer in his heart. New

"Maogong, tell me, what should we do next to defeat Liu Heita's powerful army? Should we concentrate our forces to fight him decisively, or should we think of something else?"

Xu Shiji said: "It is indeed a good idea to seek a decisive battle with Liu Heitai now, but if the king comes in person, I'm afraid Liu Heitai may not dare to accept the challenge."

When Qin Hu heard that he was talking about other things, he said: "Then what do you mean-"

"The enemy's army is actually too strong. It is better to wait until next spring, when he is actually a little weaker, and then the king launches a general attack on him. This is the best strategy."

"In addition, Liu Heitai is now on the move and is not easily broken. However, he inherited the mantle of Dou Jiande. The people are in harmony, the organization is in order, and there is no such thing as surprise, so now is really not a good time."

Seeing that he refused to talk about the important point, Qin Hu was silent for a while and said, "Well, I want to kill Zhang Xutuo to appease the people. Do you think this is appropriate?"
