After smelling the smoke, the elephant trainers knew that the elephant array was once again facing the possibility of turning around and retreating. They immediately reported it to Tu Dengfu.

Tu Dengfu saw that this operation had finally approached the Chu camp, and he was reluctant to make this good situation cloud the smoke of failure, so he urged the elephant trainers: "You know the temperament of elephants best, quickly come up with the last move, so that they can move forward bravely and no longer retreat." ”

When the elephant trainers were in trouble, the tribal leader came and ordered: "All the elephants immediately withdraw from the pass and return to the Touren's mansion." ”

After Tu Dengfu heard this, he regretted and said, "How did this happen?" Didn't the house let the Chu army occupy it? They occupy that side, and we occupy this side, so that we can have bargaining chips for dialogue, and at this time retreating, seeing that the fruits of victory in the Pingchu camp will be gone in an instant. ”

Although the tribal leader did not hear Tu Dengfu's words, he was still worried that Tu Dengfu would not understand, so he sent someone to invite Tu Dengfu to the viewing platform on the slope.

As soon as the leader saw Tu Dengfu, he said: "The chips in this military camp are too small, we need big ones, big chips so that the Chu army will not dare to act rashly and obediently listen to us." ”

Tu Dengfu said puzzledly: "What kind of bargaining chips are as big as destroying the Chu army camp?" It's really a blind command. ”

The tribal leader smiled and said: "You don't understand this, okay, don't talk about it, withdraw the troops quickly, and if you delay any longer, you will lose this biggest bargaining chip." ”

Tu Dengfu said blankly: "Seeing that the goal is about to be achieved, I am unwilling." Father-in-law, you said, defeat the Chu army, capture the princess, and then ......"

The head man stopped him and said, "Yes, your goal is getting closer and closer, and it is about to be achieved, my lovely good son-in-law." ”

Tu Dengfu muttered: "It seems that you are not single-minded in attacking like this, tossing in the east and tossing in the west, I am afraid that the ducks in hand will also fly." He said with his mouth out, but had to lead the troops in the opposite direction.

When he was about to arrive at the Touren Mansion, the tribal leader said to Tu Dengfu: "We gave up the Chu army camp just so that we could capture their supreme princess of the Chu State in the Touren Mansion, do you know?" ”

Tu Dengfu said in surprise: "Really? How did she get to the Touren's Mansion? ”

"You don't know." The head man explained, "After you transferred the soldiers from the mansion, the Chu army discovered our loophole, and their princess personally led the troops to take down the head of the mansion, and their purpose was to take our lair and leave us homeless." We will now give up attacking the camp of the Chu army, kill a horse pistol, and do nothing, just arrest this princess. ”

Tu Dengfu suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that the biggest bargaining chip is the princess of Chu State, this is the right thing, it can speed up the time for me to marry her, it is really a big win." ”

Tu Dengfu understood the mystery of his father-in-law's withdrawal of troops, so he accelerated the implementation of this plan. He discussed with his father-in-law: "This time to recapture the people's mansion, I will use troops in the center, and the method of elephant siege, I don't know if my father-in-law can agree, Dengfu is willing to listen to advice." ”

The tribal leader said happily: "The two of us have the same idea, it seems that the matter of the son-in-law marrying Princess Chu is just around the corner." However, I ask you to agree to one thing. ”

Tu Dengfu was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, as long as I am allowed to marry Princess Jingyin, I can agree to anything. He responded: "What is it, the son-in-law would like to hear the details." ”

The tribal leader said casually: "After you get the princess, you will succeed my brother as a son, this is the best mercy for him, otherwise, I will not be at ease." ”

Tu Dengfu let out a long breath and said: "It turns out that this is the case, but I can't continue, I am the son of your brothers, Princess Chu is your daughter-in-law, you can tell your father-in-law to rest assured." ”

As a result, Tu Dengfu ordered the troops to abandon the attack on the Chu army camp and immediately return to the Touren Mansion.

Liu Huaibei, who was on the front line, suddenly felt that he was facing fewer and fewer enemies, and when the sky was bright, he saw that there was not a single elephant in the distance, and then he went up the hillside to look into the distance, and there was no enemy.

What's going on?

Liu Huaibei immediately transmitted the information to Zhuang Ji.

As soon as Zhuang Ji heard this, he went out of the barracks to inspect the site. He saw that there was only one way to pass this pass, and no matter where the troops came here, they would either advance or retreat, and there was no room for rotation at all. He thought, Jing Yin led the troops to attack the Touren Mansion, but at this moment, the soldiers of the tribe retreated, what was the intention? He shouted: "Liu Huaibei, come and see, they do not hesitate to retreat now, and they have only one intention, which is to defend the Touren's Mansion." But this mansion has been taken by Jing Yin, and when the enemy returns, Jing Yin will be in danger. You immediately bring someone to the Touren's Mansion to help Jing Yin, and I will send someone else to inform Wu Shixun to answer. ”

Liu Huaibei immediately took away all the remaining soldiers in the military camp and went straight to the head of the tribe to solve the danger of Princess Jingyin's department.

Zhuang Zhiyue wiped his eyes and ran to beg: "Uncle Huaibei, I want to go too." ”

Zhuang Ji looked at his son and said, "Don't get ready yet, put on armor, and look like a samurai." ”

Zhiyue said loudly: "Yes, father." ”

After the soldiers led by Jing Yin took down the Touren's Mansion, Erwa guarded the gate, and soldiers were on duty all around the mansion. She led a few people to pick up Zhuang Ji and move into it, so as to make the Tourenfu the command center of the Chu army.

She and her soldiers had not gone far when they noticed a large force coming towards her.

When Soldier A heard this, he said, "Is it that General Zhuang is here?" Listening to the sound, there are quite a few people. ”

Jing Yin stopped and motioned for everyone to be quiet, so that they could hear who was coming.

But before they could hear clearly, the great army had already driven in front of them.

By this time, it was already dawning.

Tu Dengfu, who took the lead in front of the troops, had already seen Jing Yin's people. He immediately stopped, turned around and raised his hand to signal the troops to pause. Then the commander said: "Listen, the front is the target of our operation, there are not many of them, and they are far away from the Touren's Mansion, everyone is now divided into two teams to form a flank attack on them." Remember, don't use a knife or a stick, just catch them with your hands and you'll win the jackpot. ”

Soldier A found that the enemy was right in front of him and said to Jing Yin, "What now?" I can't run, I can't hide, I can only catch it. ”

Jing Yin saw that there were many enemies, but she didn't expect them to come back so quickly, and now they were surrounded, and there was also an elephant array gathering around her, and she was in a dilemma.

Tu Dengfu saw that Jingyin and her soldiers had become turtles in the urn, so he pretended to be friendly and shouted, "Hey, the one in front is Princess Chu Jingyin?" ”

Soldier A was surprised and said, "Oh, princess, how do they know your name?" ”

Jing Yin analyzed: "Listening to his accent, he is our person." Oh, that's right, Zhong Yitong said that the grub who escaped back said that a man named Tu Dengfu was a son-in-law at the head of the tribe, could it be him? ”
