Chapter 747 Wu Yong: I have three strategies! [Update 2]

"Ugh--"

Song Jiang was half-heartedly led away from the battlefield by Wu Yong and Chai Jin.

After being safe, Song Jiang sighed:
What the hell should I do?

"Brother, we still have a chance!"

Wu Yong encouraged Song Jiang:

“Dong Ping and Fang Mao should have taken Shezhou by now.

“We will first go to Qingxi to join the garrison, and then go to Shezhou to join Dong Ping and Fang Mao to defend Shezhou for the King of Chu.

"Send another person on horseback to inform the King of Chu, and wait for him to lead the army in person.

"As long as the King of Chu's army arrives, the Southern Kingdom will be at our fingertips!"

Song Jiang thought about it and said, "That makes sense."

They gathered more than 10,000 defeated soldiers along the way.

There were three thousand defenders left in Qingxi County.

Together with Dong Ping's three thousand cavalry, the total number of troops was sixteen thousand.

If we have to defend Qingxi and Shezhou separately, we definitely won't have enough manpower.

It would be more than enough to defend Shezhou alone.

When Wang Qing comes, he can pass the blame to Duan Er.

Defending Shezhou was also a great achievement.

"Just do as the staff officer says!"

Song Jiang made a decision and led 10,000 defeated soldiers together with Wu Yong and Chai Jin to Qingxi to join the defenders.

As a result, when they left Qingxi and headed for Shezhou, they ran into the furious Dong Ping...

"This beastly monk is in a panic!"

As soon as Dong Ping saw Song Jiang, he started cursing:
"After we defeated the Sezhou Chicken, he turned against us!

"I have two fists and four hands. How can I come to join you..."

At this point, Dong Ping noticed that something was wrong with Song Jiang and the others, and asked suspiciously:
"Where is Duan Gangjun?"

Song Jiang's eyes turned red: "General Duan has been killed..."

"what?"

Dong Ping was stunned. He looked at the Chu army behind Song Jiang and saw that they looked like defeated soldiers. He couldn't help asking:

"You...are defeated?"

Song Jiang nodded: "Alas——"

Good guy!
Dong Ping couldn't believe his ears:

You have an army of one hundred thousand, no, seventy thousand, no, sixty thousand!

The Confederate Army had only 25,000 troops. How did you get defeated?
And let them kill the head coach?
But Dong Ping had to believe his eyes even if he didn't believe his ears.

He saw clearly that the Chu army behind Song Jiang were dejected and had thrown away their weapons and armor. They were indeed the remnants of a defeated army!
How can we attack Shezhou?

"It's hard to put into words."

Chai Jin also sighed:
"Governor Dong, the most important thing for us now is to decide what to do next."

Dong Ping looked at Song Jiang, Song Jiang looked at Wu Yong, Wu Yong looked at Chai Jin, who was also drunk:

What are you looking at me for? You are the advisor!
Wu Yong coughed dryly: "I have three strategies: good, medium and bad..."

There are so many strategies?

Song Jiang, Dong Ping and Chai Jin looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief:
You have to be a smart guy at critical moments!

Dong Ping quickly asked, "What is Xiangce?"

Wu Yong: "Running is the best option!"

That's it?

Dong Ping frowned: "Where is the elbow?"

"Chu State."

Wu Yong waved his goose feather fan and said:

"The commander-in-chief was killed, and most of the army was destroyed.

"It's better to go back and regroup, and make a comeback in the future."

Won’t Wang Qing scold me to death when I get back?

Song Jiang shook his head: "What is the middle strategy?"

Wu Yong: "Guard Qingxi."

"Not right, Qingxi Shou can't say a word!"

Dong Ping waved his hand:

"Qingxi is just a small county, and it's easy for Bangyuandong to be trapped.

"It's not right, it's not right!"

Chai Jin: "What is the worst option?"

Wu Yong: "Attack Shezhou."

"Ah this..."

Song Jiang looked back at the dejected remnants of the defeated army behind him: Are we still going to attack Shezhou like this?

It’s great that you can guarantee not to desert!

Wait!
Why does it seem like there are fewer people?
Chai Jin shook his head and said, "How can we defeat the Fangmao who are defending the city with a group of defeated soldiers?"

Wu Yong also shook his head: "In this emergency, I only have these three strategies, do you have any good ones?"

Song Jiang, Dong Ping and Chai Jin were all at a loss.

The three of them looked at each other and decided that they should choose from Wu Yong's three strategies: best, medium and worst.

"Look at them, can they still fight?"

Song Jiang turned around and looked at the remnants of the defeated army behind him:

Wait!
Why does it seem like there are fewer people again?

Chai Jin also saw it, his face turned green: "I'm afraid I can't..."

"Qingxi is a small county town with low walls and no moat..."

The more Song Jiang talked, the more he felt that there was no hope:
"The stored food is not enough..."

"That's it!"

Dong Ping sighed: "Let's choose the best strategy!"

Song Jiang and Chai Jin looked at each other and nodded:
"That's the best strategy!"

……

"what?"

Liu Gao, Hua Rong and Yue Fei led three thousand cavalry to Shezhou, only to find that Shezhou had been captured.

"Fang-mao?"

Liu Gao was very surprised:
“Didn’t Dong Ping and Fang Mao come together?

"Why do I only see Fang Mao and not Dong Ping?"

Hua Rong and Yue Fei were also puzzled.

Anyway, the person who spoke on the tower of Shezhou City Gate was Fang Mao:

"Prince Consort, you may not believe it when I tell you -

"My surrender to Wang Qing was just a temporary solution, a way to endure hardships!
"That traitor Dong Ping has been chased away by me!

"This king has never thought of betraying the Southern Kingdom!"

Liu Gao sneered: "You are the one who killed the Holy Lord, and you still say that you have never thought of betraying the Southern Kingdom?"

"This king was framed!"

Fang Maung said with tears in her eyes:
"I never sent anyone to assassinate the prince, let alone kill the Holy Archbishop!"

Liu Gao nodded: "Very good, wait and tell Fang Jie."

"what?"

Fang Mao was shocked: "Fang Jie is still alive?"

"Alive and kicking."

Liu Gao raised a playful smile:
"You didn't expect that the Chu army has been defeated by us.

"Fang Jie will arrive soon with tens of thousands of troops. When the time comes, you can open the city gate and talk to him slowly."

It's over!

Fang Mao's heart skipped a beat:
At least half of the people in the city are Fang Jie’s old subordinates. Can the city gate be closed again after it is opened?
Fang Mao originally thought that everything was under control, but when Fang Jie didn't die, everything he had came to nothing.

"You fart!"

Fang Mao panicked and refused to communicate with Liu Gao:

“I saw my nephew die with my own eyes!

"You don't need to say more, if you want to fight, then fight!"

"What's there to fight about?"

Liu Gao curled his lips:

"We just need to rest here and wait for Fang Jie to arrive, then everything will be fine!"

"you--"

Fang Mao looked around in shock and anger, and saw that the Southern Army guarding the city had indeed become a little restless.

He only had 2,000 cavalrymen under his command, so if he really wanted to defend the city, he had to rely on the 2,000 southern troops who had surrendered...

But these 2,000 Southern Army soldiers are all Fang Jie's subordinates. How can they wholeheartedly help him defend the city?
"Your Majesty, we can't wait for Fang Jie to come!"

Liu Yun leaned close to Fang Mao's ear and whispered:
"These newly surrendered Southern troops are all Fang Jie's former subordinates!

"If a fight breaks out, you have to turn against your own side!

"The Prince Consort brought few people with him, why don't we capture the Prince Consort first..."

"Look, my king!"

Xu Fang pointed at the city and said in a muffled voice:
"They were so bullying that they even dismounted to rest!"

"Ok?"

Liu Yun took one look and said, "What a great opportunity!"
