Chapter 771: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

What is Xia Yan, he dares to order him. The more he asked him to speak carefully, the more confused General Zhong became.

Xia Yan asked, he didn't know anything, he didn't hear about the response.

To sum up, General Zhong Lao meant that Su Fanyi was not in Huaiyang Town now.

He went to the town of Fufeng, which was not far from here.

That was the Su family's base camp. The formations when Xia Yan attacked the city earlier were all fake. It was Su Fanyi who knew Xia Yan's movements and quickly arranged it. In fact, there were only a few hundred defenders in Huaiyang Dao Town.

If Xia Yan attacked, within half an hour, he would definitely be able to capture Huaiyang Town.

The implication is that Huaiyang Dao simply sang an empty city plan, and Xia Yan easily fell for it.

Xia Yan clenched his fists. The green tendons on his forehead are tense. "You mean, the person surnamed Su has long expected that I won't dare to attack the city?" Xia Yan is not very capable, but he is very conceited.

Listening to General Zhong's words with a gun and a stick, he was full of anger.

The person who calculated him was far away in Fufeng Town, and they didn't show up at all, so they guessed his mind thoroughly. Compared with the judgment army coming to help from all sides, it is naturally easier to win the trust of the people because of the judgment army. After all, if the judgment army is really numerous, it should chase him closely, not so quietly. So as the ugly general said, the other party set a trap...... But all conceited people can't bear to be inferior to others, especially when everything they think and do is perceived.

"Where were you? Why did you come at this time? ”

Xia Yan finally asked.

General Zhong Lao had already prepared. "I only have a few hundred men with me. Since the prince left Huaiyang Road, he has never paid money, and he can't let the soldiers go to the battlefield hungry...... So I let them go home and farm. ”

Go home and farm!

Xia Yan didn't know how to react anymore. This person surnamed Zhong has only been here for a moment, and the words he said have made him want to spurt blood several times.

"Just me, a few hundred old and weak soldiers, before I showed up, I was served to the pot. So I had to wait until this time to show up. ”

Although Xia Yan was displeased, he also knew that under his selfishness, he naturally did not take care of himself, and it was extremely rare to be able to come to report the news at this time. Thinking of this, Xia Yan's face looked better. "What else do you have to say?"

For Xia Yan's impolite questioning, General Zhong was able to appease himself with just one sentence that Wei Chen had said.

Wei Chen said to him before he left. No matter how bad Xia Yan's attitude is, how high-minded he is, it is just a bluff. He will soon taste what it is like to be a prisoner, and General Zhong sincerely looks forward to it. "If General Xia wants to capture the thief, he should go to Fufeng Town quickly. If it is late and the reinforcements surnamed Su arrive, it will be difficult to predict who will win and who will lose. General Zhong felt that what he said was very sincere.

However, Xia Yan just smiled coldly and waved his hand to signal that Old General Zhong could retreat.

He believed his words, but he wouldn't do what he had hoped. I want to use him to capture the bandit leader, dreaming! Xia Yan finally saw that the person surnamed Zhong was afraid that he was bullied by the surname Su on weekdays. The old and weak soldiers under his command are probably in a very bleak situation with him. That's why he couldn't wait to send it to the door, wanting to use him to fight hard with the surname Su, and then the good one surnamed Zhong to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Don't.

Since he knew that the leader of the judgment army was in Fufeng Town.

He led the troops at this time, didn't he send sheep into the tiger's mouth, presumably the elite of the judgment army were all in Fufeng Town, so he came to do the opposite......

Tomorrow, they will go to the siege of the city.

and so on to capture Huaiyang Town, according to the town and defend it. It's really called waiting for work.

The surname Su is just a businessman, can he still use soldiers like a god, if he is really so prestigious as Zhong Yuxiu said, and he has to be protected by the whole people, then this way, how can no one come out to resist.

Therefore, the words surnamed Zhong are also mixed between truth and falsehood.

Su Fanyi's identity as the leader is true, and the people of the whole province will desperately protect each other.

It is true that Su Fanyi is in Fufeng Town at this time, Fufeng Town is empty, and this is the best time to capture the bandit leader.

The one who really doesn't like Su Fanyi and can't wait for Su Fanyi to be captured is Zhong Yuxiu. In contrast, he, a serious general of the court, is not as eager as Zhong Yuxiu.

Therefore, he can use Zhong Yuxiu in turn......

Xia Yan pondered.

General Zhong Lao came out of the big tent and wanted to leave, but was stopped. Then someone arranged a small camp for him, saying that he had been tired all the way, and it was not too late to leave tomorrow morning. General Zhong Lao showed some anger, but in the end he was forced to stay in the camp, and Xia Yan heard the return of his subordinates, and became more and more sure of what he thought.

Just when Xia Yan was full of ambition to dispatch troops and vowed to capture Huaiyang Town in one fell swoop.

Old General Zhong is crossing Erlang's legs and secretly happy.

He couldn't help but think of Wei Chen's expression when he said these words during the day. Wei Chen said that Xia Yan would not believe all his words, but if Xia Yan needed to believe it, Xia Yan would definitely believe it.

But he was suspicious, so he would test it.

So when he leaves, Xia Yan will definitely stop him. At this time, the more angry General Zhong was, the more he could calm Xia Yan's heart.

After all, in Xia Yan's view, General Zhong Lao came to 'lead the water to the east' and 'take advantage of the fire to rob'. If you tell the truth, you will naturally run away. If you can't walk, you're naturally in a bad mood.

General Zhong acted very hard.

Presumably at this time, Xia Yan had already arranged his troops.

Wei Chen said that Xia Yan must be forced to attack the city as soon as possible. After making a move with Xia Yan, what he pays attention to is being fast and accurate......

In today's siege battle, Xia Yan will definitely not send the battle report back to Beijing. He must wait to capture Huaiyang Town before asking for a reward, so they have to capture Xia Yan before he sends out the battle report.

As for Fufeng Town, Su Fanyi.

It's time to reveal. Su Fanyi's chess should also show up.

Xia Yan didn't sleep well this night, on the contrary, General Zhong slept very well, and he also had a dream that his daughter was finally married.

When I woke up from the dream, I felt more and more that I had met a noble person this time, not only could I do a good job of the errand assigned by the prince, but if I was lucky, I might be able to solve one of his old ~ difficult problems by the way, and give his baby daughter a wishful word.

Before General Zhong could get up, he heard a messy noise outside the tent.

The subordinate came in with a curtain and whispered to him. Xia Yan came out of the camp with about 8,000 elite soldiers.

Less than 2,000 men were left to guard the camp.

General Zhong smiled, it really didn't take any effort to come here.

Draw from the bottom of the kettle......

When it comes to leading troops to fight, Wei Chen doesn't dare to be called the first, the father and son of the Chu family, Prince Ling, and even the four generals of Huaiyang Dao are stronger than him.

But if it comes to resourcefulness (cunning), Wei Chen is the best.

If Xia Yan's temperament is not forced, he will definitely shrink in the camp for a few days, and then send a battle report to the capital and Huaiyang Dao to judge the army into a tug-of-war.
