Liu Yu smiled slightly, turned his head to look outside the door, the door was locked, and several guards who followed him also stood far away at the door of the Thorn Shi Mansion, and he hooked the corners of his mouth: "General Xu, please retreat from the secret sentry, and there is a secret plan to report to the newspaper." ”

Xu Yuanxi's brows furrowed, and Xu Yuanlang on the side said: "Big brother, Lord Liu is Xie Zhenjun's favorite general, don't doubt it." ”

Xu Yuanxi nodded, waved his hand, and several shadows flashed in the corner outside the hall, and two black-clothed sergeants with bows and crossbows on the beams above their heads also bowed and retreated towards the Xu brothers.

When the figures of these people disappeared outside the Thorn Shi Mansion, Xu Yuanxi said: "Lord Liu, these subordinates of mine are in a good ambush, how can you see it?" ”

Liu Yu smiled: "Intuition, people who have been on the battlefield have a special sense of smell for ambushes, and those brothers are also a little nervous, and when people are nervous, some breath will be exposed." ”

Xu Yuanlang said: "In extraordinary times, to prevent assassination, there must be some arrangements." It's not against you. ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Of course this is understood, the general must have a heavy guard, otherwise if the enemy is assassinated, the whole army will be leaderless, and there will be a big defeat." General Xu, let's talk about the matter of the Di army first, judging by the humble position, these must be spies! ”

Xu Yuan said in surprise: "Where do you judge that they are spies?" What are the credentials? ”

Liu Yu Zhengse said: "If you really come to surrender as they said, more than 2,000 troops, without their families and children, will they be able to escape the military law of the Qin State?" Even if it happened suddenly and Yang Qiu escaped by himself, how could he let more than 2,000 of his subordinates all abandon their families and follow him? Those family members who didn't come with them will inevitably become hostages in the Qin State, so this must be a fraud! ”

Xu Yuanlang said with a smile: "The prince of Huan Xuanhuan has also analyzed it like this before, you are really heroes who see the same thing." Originally, my eldest brother still wanted Huan Shizi's army to help eliminate these thieves, but Xie Xianggong's military order was issued quickly, Huan Shizi had already gone to Jiankang, and the Jingzhou military horses had also returned to Jingzhou, and this matter could only be solved by us. ”

Xu Yuanxi nodded: "Lord Liu, I won't tell you, it is precisely because I can't think of any way to deal with the thieves that I want to evacuate, they are mostly cavalry, we just want to withdraw, I'm afraid it's not easy, you said you can see that they surrendered, so what is the way to eliminate them?" Is it a night attack? ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "I have seen Yang Qiu's army, including their military camp, the layout is still very orderly, worthy of the Qin State generals, they come to deceive and surrender, and they will not take it lightly, if we attack at night, the troops are not dominant, the soldiers in the city are not the main force of the field of the Great Jin, the defense of the city is acceptable, take the initiative to attack the field, in the face of the enemy cavalry, the odds of victory are not high." ”

Xu Yuanxi gritted his teeth: "What about the two hundred cavalry guards brought by Lord Liu?" They're elite. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It is a thankless task for the cavalry to attack the camp head-on, and besides, this is one of the few cavalry in my Great Jin, and it will be used in the decisive battle, and it is not good to consume it here." I have a plan to destroy these thieves without a single soldier! ”

Xu Yuanxi and Xu Yuanlang perked up at the same time, and said in unison: "What's the best plan, come quickly!" ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I also invite the two generals to set up a banquet in the city, and then prepare good wine for cattle and sheep, and go to reward the soldiers of the Di tribe. Oh, by the way, how many sweat pills are there in the city? ”

Outside Shouchun City, Hachikohara, Di army camp.

More than 100 fires were burning, more than a dozen people and a bunch of Di soldiers, gathered together, clapping their hands and singing, drinking mare's milk wine, the atmosphere was quite active, the archers of the arrow tower on the camp and the sentries at the camp gate, while patrolling back and forth, while cursing their own commanders in a low voice, how to let themselves come here on duty in this cold winter night, miss the fire and wine.

Yang Qiu sat in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, three or four generals sat around a brazier with him, and a deputy general named Ebaichi sighed: "I left in a hurry this time, I didn't even bring cattle and sheep, and now I can only eat these Han millet rice every day, and I haven't eaten kebabs for three days." ”

Another lieutenant general, named Lixian, laughed: "What is this, as long as you take Shouchun City, you will have any beef soup and mutton skewers if you want." The army of Yangping Gong has occupied Pengcheng and will come over soon, if we can monitor the Shouchun defenders here, then we will be the first to take Shouchun. ”

Yang Qiu's brows furrowed, and the hand that was originally stretched out to the fire to warm up was retracted, and said in a deep voice: "What are you thinking, don't forget what we came for, now that the Jin army in Jingzhou has withdrawn, the soldiers and horses in the city will not be too strong, if we can capture Shouchun, wouldn't it be a great gift to Yang Pinggong?" ”

All the generals and colonels of the Di army were stunned for a moment, and then laughed, and said with a white red voice: "It's still the leader (the Di people of this clan are not called generals internally, but are called leaders, leaders) said well, if we can capture Shouchun by ourselves, it will be a miracle, otherwise, I am afraid that this credit will be given to Yangping Gong as already there." ”

Li Xian nodded hurriedly and said: "That is, this time when the leader came to deceive him, Yang Pinggong was a little reluctant, and Liang Cheng from Jingzhou came quickly, I think, he also wants to seize the merit of seizing Shouchun." Chief, we need to speed up, why don't we attack the city overnight? ”

Yang Qiu shook his head: "No, the last time I entered the city, I saw the city defense of Shouchun, and it was still very tightly arranged, worthy of being an important town in Huainan that has been operating for many years, as for the number of defenders, I can't see it for a while, we are cavalry, we don't have siege equipment, if we want to attack, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

Li Xian "hehe" smiled: "Leader, the strong attack is not good, you can still outwit it, those Jingzhou troops are gone, I think the Jin army may not defend Shouchun, or tomorrow we will pass a word to Xu Yuanxi, just say that I am willing to help defend Shouchun City, but to enter the city, Xu Yuanxi only needs to let us in, hehe, let's capture the thief and capture the king, take him down first, and then force him to let the defenders lay down their weapons, in this way, Shouchun will not be self-defeating!" ”

Yang Qiu's eyes lit up: "Okay, you kid has a good method, but can Xu Yuanxi believe us?" ”

Li Xian smiled: "I think I can believe it, today the leader entered the city, didn't he also greet him with a smile, the Jin people's combat effectiveness is not good, that Yin Hao relied on Yao Xiang to fight the vanguard, I think, this Xu Yuanxi also moved the same mind, and wanted us to work hard for him." ”
