"General Ran, the emperor is unrighteous, so why do you have a destiny? You should consider yourself."

Next to Ran Min, a soldier dressed in a confidant whispered to Ran Min.

Ran Min's face was gloomy.

"Shut up, I have my own ideas." Ran Min said.

No matter what decisions he makes, he doesn't like others to interfere.

The intelligence of each country is actually no different from that of Da Yong, but compared to other forces, Fang Mu is more capable of prophecy and knows who have more potential and talent.

With accurate goals, they will be better placed by their side when they have not made a fortune.

"Don't say this." Ran Min said.

He knew that the soldier was the "traitor" who was trapped by the great power in the north.

But firstly, this person did not conceal his identity and had already shown his identity, and secondly, he did not do anything that was unfavorable to him.

Therefore, Ran Min chose to condone him by default.

Just be careful not to leak key messages.

It doesn't matter if this person is with you.

During the time he followed Ran Min, the soldier knew Ran Min's personality, stubborn and tough, and did not like others to change his ideas.

"General, then I'll retreat." The soldier bowed and was about to retreat.

"Wait." Ran Min finally called him.

The soldier stopped.

Ran Min hesitated for a moment and said, "You will be with me after the war begins next time."

Shi Hu occupied the city and defended it. Because of the defeat in the war, Shi Hu lost a lot of troops, and now there are many ready-made people in the city.

So Shi Hu began to recruit troops.

All strong men in the city must join the army for training!

All the grain in the city is concentrated and handed over to Shihu for distribution.

There was no problem with this at first.

Calling soldiers in the city to respond to support when the situation is unfavorable.

Many classic city-defense battles in history are indispensable to the unity of the military and civilians.

But Shi Hu's method is too rough.

Moreover, Shi Hu's reputation was not good. He was as cruel as Fu Sheng, who convened a beauty selection nationwide in the Former Qin Dynasty.

Shi Hu also forced a large number of young and beautiful women to enter the palace among the people, causing a lot of grief among the people of Later Zhao.

Many strong men were unwilling to join the army, and Shi Hu was furious after learning the news.

"A group of unruly people, as my descendants of Zhao, are unwilling to serve the country. Anyone who dares to refuse will be killed! The female family is used as military prostitutes! Any young and beautiful person is sent to me." Shi Hu said.

Faced with Shi Hu's toughness, he killed the chicken to warn the monkey and dealt with dozens of households. All the males were peeled and hung at the entrance of the city to warn the public, while the female family members were pulled away amid the cries.

The ending goes without saying.

People in the city's fear of Shihu reached a new level.

But Shi Hu didn't care about these things.

Any tyrant cares about his reputation? No one dares to scold him in person anyway. Anyone who dares to scold him in person will go to hell.

Under Shi Hu's tough tricks, 80,000 new recruits were recruited in the county for a short time.

But the food in the city can only last for three months.

Ran Min came out of Shi Hu, and he learned about something from Shi Hu's mouth.

Shi Hu told them that they didn’t need to worry about food and let them not worry.

Be prepared for war and continue to defend against the enemy.

Shi Hu has ordered people to demolish the buildings in the city.

All the demolished wooden beams and stones were piled on the city wall.

......

Northern Su Lie learned the news.

Hurry up and ask Zhang Bin. "Sir, is it the time to go south?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Bin did not answer Su Lie, but asked Su Lie.

Su Lie knew that Zhang Bin was testing him.

He hesitated for a long time, shook his head and said uncertainly, "I don't think it's yet."

Zhang Bin's eyes were filled with appreciation.

"Why not?"

"Because we will go south to Lu State... Mr. Zhang, look." Su Lie pulled Zhang Bin to the sand table and made a straight line between the two forces. "If we march from here, Lu Bu will definitely learn the news. Lu Bu will definitely not sit still and watch us go south. He will definitely send heavy troops to defend, and even he will go to the battlefield in person. We will instead help Shi Hu relieve the pressure on the side."

"Yes." Zhang Bin nodded. "You continue to say."

"Secondly, I think the key to destroying Later Zhao in a battle is to kill Shi Hu and destroy the Later Zhao capital. I have an idea that we can lead a small elite force to circumvent the Later Zhao capital from a million mountains, but this is too risky." Su Lie did not think it was feasible.

After all, it is not easy to attack behind enemy lines.

This army is highly likely to get lost and be lost among millions of mountains.

Either it will be the best result if you return without success.

Either get lost, then lack food, and eventually starve to death in the vast mountains. I am afraid that one out of ten people can walk out alive.

If the surprise attack is really that simple, then there is no need for defense in this official road that runs through the north and south.

These million mountains are a natural level.

Blocks the two north and south areas.

"Mr. Zhang, I have received your kindness and teachings from these times. If you have a grudge against Later Zhao, I will definitely avenge you and destroy Later Zhao." Su Lie said to Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin sighed and waved his hand, "No need to say this, my business is just a private matter. It is a public matter to conquer the northern and southern regions. You must remember that the generals must first put public first, and do not abolish public because of their own."

"This is what Your Majesty told me. He said that he would try to capture Shihu and let you take revenge without affecting the overall situation." Su Lie said.

Zhang Bin was stunned.

I didn't expect that there was such a reason behind this.

A warm current flowed in his heart, and Zhang Bin turned his back and said, "Thank you for me." Zhang Bin's voice was a little choked.

"The timing of attacking the south was when Lu Bu led his heavy troops into the Later Zhao Dynasty." Zhang Bin said with a tidy up his emotions.

"Even if Lu Bu hears the news, he will not have time to return to the rescue. I am strong in Da Yong and have been ready for a long time. I see that the soldiers in the army are brave and fighting. I can lead 500,000 troops to fight south with just one order! You don't have to pay too much attention to Shi Hu. Now he is unable to protect himself. You must first cut off Lu Bu's retreat, keep him out of the door, and then sweep across the old land of Wuliang in the northwest." Zhang Bin said.

"Based on the five Liangs in the northwest, lure Lu Bu, Fu Jian and Tuoba Tao to fight in internal struggles. When they are exhausted, they go out to the east to annex the Former Qin and the Later Zhao."

Zhang Bin provides Su Lie with a strategic direction.

"If the battle between the Sui Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Northern Qi Dynasty and the Former Yan Dynasty is not unexpected, it will eventually be with the Sui Dynasty winning and retreating troops." Zhang Bin said.

"Will the Sui Dynasty retreat after victory?" Su Lie was moved because he was a member of the Sui Dynasty and had special feelings for the Sui Dynasty. "Is it because of the rebel army?"

"Yang Guang is too radical, and the momentum of the uprising army is even more brave than he imagined. The most stable approach is to recall the Western Expedition, the Northern Expedition Army, and to suppress domestic rebellion with all their might, and then rest and wait for the opportunity to be the right way. The military and food consumed by the Western Expedition Army of the Sui Dynasty every day is not small. The Sui Dynasty was overwhelmed, and the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi Former Yan would not wait for Yang Guang to digest the results after occupying the territory. When the internal chaos in the Sui Dynasty became more and more intense, the Three Kingdoms would definitely resist with all their might. The Sui Dynasty would inevitably collapse, but I didn't know how bad Yang Guang would fall." Zhang Bin said.
