Shi Ma pondered for a long time, and then said: "The Yongji place is sandwiched between two mountains. If the Liu family wants to attack, they will only have one chance... After all, the mountain road is steep and transportation is inconvenient. The art of war is cloudy. If you go all out, then..."

Shi Xie interrupted Shi Ma's book bag and said, "Regardless of the art of war, I just want to ask, if the Liu family comes to attack, can it be stopped? And how long can it be defended?"

Shi Ma coughed, and then said: "Yongji Pass...how many days can we hold it, it is difficult to say clearly...If we look at the amount of food and grass hoarded alone, our five thousand soldiers can eat in Guanzhong."

A year without worries..."

Shi Xie's face couldn't help but become a little ugly.

Anyone who lives up to this point is not a fool. Shima refused to say anything, just said that it was okay to just eat. So the subtext actually means that compared with the soldiers at Yongji Pass and the soldiers of Liu Bei and others, that is……

"How can the hero of Yongji Pass not be defeated?" Shi Xie still couldn't believe it, "If it can be blocked for half a year, there will be a turn for the better..."

Since Liu Bei came south, Shi Xie began to hoard a large amount of food and grass. However, because he did not expect that Liu Bei's offensive would be so strong, he sent people out to collect food and grass, and contacted people from various southern barbarian tribes who did not come back in time. In addition, Although the Jiaozhi land is extensive, many areas are mountainous and not easy to walk, so Shi Xie couldn't say for a while that he could immediately gather all his soldiers to fight against Liu Bei.

"If you want to use Yongji Pass as your base..." Shi Fu sighed, flexed his fingers and said, "When you are in need, you might as well... strengthen the walls and clear the fields... demolish all the surrounding houses, obtain wood, iron tools, firewood... cultivate more arrows as soon as possible, Wooden wood, rolling stones, kerosene, horses, deer villages, hanging spleens, tired thorns, spikes, wooden stakes and other objects..."

Shi Xie frowned and said, "A strong wall clears the field?"

If you really do this, it will be equivalent to giving up all the area east of Yongji Pass to Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei is defeated in the future, Shi Xie will have to return to the east of Yongji Pass if he wants to. A very difficult thing.

"Of course..." Shi Fu said, "Move all the people and demolish all the houses. If you can't get them, burn them with fire... until everything outside Yongji Pass and within a hundred miles is reduced to ruins!" If we can hold Yongji Pass and defeat Liu's army, it won't be too late to rebuild... If... What's more, if the Liu army comes to attack, outside of Yongji Pass, we are also supporting the enemy, so it is better to leave as early as possible... …』

"But is it too early to implement the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness now?" Shi Xie said with a frown.

This is the truth, but if his side did this, wouldn't Liu Bei not even have to consider peace talks? Seeing that Shi Xie was ready to strengthen the wall and clear the country, then the peace talks must be fake. Wouldn't Liu Bei be immediately dismissed? Waiting for someone to lure you here?

"Peace talks..." Shi Xie looked at Shi Xie, raised his hands and said, "The people of the Liu family are like tigers and wolves, how can there be any room for negotiation? Now they have no choice but to move their troops south, hoping to sneak attack on us... Lord, please don't Hesitate, if I fight to the death, or there is still a glimmer of hope..."

The room fell into silence.

Shi Xie sat behind the desk, lowering his head and thinking.

After a while, Shi Xie raised his head and said, "If the walls are fortified and the fields are cleared, where will the people go?"

"Repair the city and dig trenches..." Shi Fu said, "Now the weather is cold and the land is hard. Without enough manpower, it may be difficult to repair the fortifications..."

Shi Xie nodded, and then said: "But if there are too many people... Guanzhong will inevitably consume food and grass..."

Shi Ma said: "It doesn't matter. Leave him here for the time being to repair the fortifications. When Liu Jun attacks, you can abandon him in front of the pass! If Liu Jun kills him, he will share the same hatred with the enemy. If Liu Jun keeps him, his food will be consumed... …Isn’t it said that Liu Xuande was very benevolent and treated the people leniently?”

Shi Ma smiled and then said, "Liu Xuande will probably gather them...but the weather is cold and freezing, and it is inconvenient for us to transport food and grass. The same goes for Liu Xuande! How much food is left in Liu's army? How much can it support?"

Shi Ma said, "If my lord wants to refuse, this is the only way... Firstly, it can secure Yongji Pass, secondly, it can burden Liu Xuande, and thirdly, it can ease our difficulties. It's all right in one fell swoop...

』

Shi Xie said: "If...it triggers public outrage..."

Shi Fu replied: "You can contact the nearby big families in advance and get their help, and then you will have no worries. What's the harm if there is no one to control the resentment of the people?"

Shi Xie thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to agree with Shi Miao's plan, and began to set up a place near Yongji Pass. He sent people to notify the large households and tribal villages near Yongji County, asking them to evacuate quietly immediately, in order to protect his actions.

Covering everything up, it was said that Shi Xie was considering being blind and could not bear them to face the military disaster...

Then at the same time, he said that anyone who is willing to demolish their houses and clear the walls will receive double rewards. In the future, after Liu Bei and others are defeated, Shixie will not only help them rebuild their homes with money, but also give them a certain amount of land as compensation. Of course.

Yes, anyone who disobeys the order will be guilty of collaborating with the enemy and will be severely punished.

Shi Xie originally thought that this method might be a bit unsatisfactory. If it aroused public anger, it would be easy to cause trouble, but Shi Xie's words made him forget about this worry.

Shi Ma said, if Yongji Pass is lost, what will the lord get? Will these people come to protect the lord? Can the lord still drive Liu Bei away with the support of the people?

People are like cattle and sheep. They may be angry for a while, but they don't have much memory. So even if you insult them, scold them, drive them away, or cut them down, as long as they are fed and clothed later, they will forget their past grudges.

, not only that, but will also follow behind to pray for alms from the Lord and pray for more food...

Public outrage? What does public outrage mean?

When will people remember what happened before?
