Chapter 281 Discussing Strategies to Defeat the Enemy
Relying on her superb archery skills, Yuxiu successfully sneaked into the military camp under the name of Xu Yunxuan.
"If you hadn't said that your hometown was in Linzhou, I would have thought that you and my brothers were a family..."
Xu Yunli looked at Yuxiu's name and couldn't help but smile.
"It would be great if you were our cousin."
What a coincidence! His little cousin is also called Xu Yunxuan, but he is still a little kid of five or six years old.
However, with such confused parents protecting him, even if the little cousin grows up, it is impossible for him to have the ability like Brother Xu.
Xu Yunzhe and Xu Yunli both thought of this and couldn't help but shook their heads helplessly.
Uncle San is a vicious person, while Aunt San is a competitive person. The little cousin they raised is also a girl who likes to act pretentiously and fuss over every little thing.
Fortunately, my grandmother is a sensible person and will not spoil this family unconditionally, otherwise these people would probably become even more troublesome.
The Xu brothers didn't know that their third uncle was no longer the same uncle, so they took Yuxiu into a small courtyard.
This is also Yuxiu's only request, that is, she doesn't care about other things, but she must arrange a separate accommodation for her.
Everyone can understand this request. After all, he said that because he has lived in the mountains with his master since he was a child, he does not like to live with others.
It was just a yard, so Xu Yunzhe agreed immediately, dispersed the people below, and then the two brothers personally took Yuxiu to settle down.
Yuxiu did not have much luggage, and her package only contained a few sets of clothes. The small courtyard was quite clean. There were only three rooms, plus a small kitchen and toilet outside. Once the door to the courtyard was closed, it became a world of its own.
Originally, Xu Yunzhe asked if he could send two soldiers to take care of him, but Yuxiu quickly rejected it.
The reason why she required to live alone was to avoid the inconvenience of living with other people.
After agreeing to let Yuxiu have a good rest for a day, the Xu Yunzhe brother took their people and left. Not long after, they sent over a lot of daily necessities and food.
Unexpectedly, the treatment here was so good. Yuxiu was very happy and accepted everything that was sent to her.
She never expected that not everyone in the military camp was treated the same way, but because she demonstrated such miraculous archery skills, they were all convinced and wanted to do their best to keep her, this "hermit master".
It just so happened that the Northern Di people retreated after failing to capture the city for a long time, and the soldiers of Wulong Town also had a short rest.
In the evening, the Xu brothers arranged a small welcome ceremony for Yuxiu.
Those present were all generals of all ranks in Wulong Town, and they all had similarly honest looks.
At this point, Yuxiu finally understood why those Northern Di people returned empty-handed.
These are people who get things done and they won't talk big or empty words, so no matter how those Northern Di people yell or curse, or how they use provocation, it's useless to them.
"Our responsibility is to defend Wulong Town and prevent the Northern Di people from entering from here. That will mean we have accomplished our mission."
The person who spoke was a dark-faced man. Everyone called him Yao Linzi. He looked taller than the others, so Yuxiu recognized him at a glance.
It was this man who led his men to overturn the ladders countless times when the Northern Di people tried to climb up the city wall, and also chopped down countless Northern Di people who climbed up.
Yao Linzi stood up and toasted Yuxiu, sighing:
"You don't know how much I wanted to shoot their heads off with an arrow when I heard all the dirty words coming out of their mouths. But unfortunately, my archery skills are not good enough..."
He drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and looked at Yuxiu with a bright light in his eyes.
"When those bastards come again next time, you have to give them a good beating, little brother."
Yuxiu also picked up the cup in her hand, which contained the tea that Xu Yunzhe specially prepared for her. Because she had said before that in order to ensure that she could hit the target every time, she must not drink alcohol.
"Brother Yao, don't worry. If those people dare to come over again, we will keep them here forever."
"Hahahaha... I, Old Yao, love to hear that. Let's have another drink..."
The others were eating while looking at the two of them, feeling speechless.
One of them was drinking wine while the other was drinking tea, but they actually developed a brotherly bond over the drinking.
"Yunxuan's words gave me an idea..."
Xu Yunli had been sitting there in deep thought, when he suddenly spoke, everyone turned their attention to him.
"Since the beginning of winter, the Northern Di people have come to harass our Wulong Town many times, but every time we have been quiet and just wanted to defend the city well. Do you think those people will think that we dare not go out?"
This is true. Wulong Town has natural terrain conditions here. As long as they don't open the city gate, it will not be easy for those people to enter the city.
"Of course they knew we wouldn't go out, so they called us cowards and unmanly people."
"Who says it's not true? Every time I hear them yelling and cursing outside, I feel very upset and hope that one day I can vent my anger..."
Xu Yunli's words caused everyone to talk a lot. Listening to these words, one could imagine that they had accumulated a lot of resentment in their hearts over the past few days.
"What if we catch them by surprise, first send a wave of arrows at them, then use catapults to throw a large number of stones at them, and before they can recover from the shock, we open the city gates and rush out to fight them..."
Xu Yunli's words made everyone's eyes light up. If that was true, they could finally vent the anger that they had been holding in their hearts for the past few days.
"That's a good idea. I've been keeping an eye on this person for a long time. He's the one who screams the loudest and curses the foulest every time. When I rush out, I'll cut off his tongue first..."
"We can fight, but don't hurt those horses..."
"It's better to catch them by surprise. I guess those bastards didn't expect us to go out..."
The group of people didn't even have time to drink. They all hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food and took Yuxiu to the place where they usually discussed things.
When Yuxiu followed everyone in, she found a large topographic map hanging there.
A group of people were eager to lie down on the topographic map to study it. Yuxiu also went over to take a look and couldn't help but sigh that the wisdom of the ancients was indeed amazing.
