Chapter 31: Fighting and Plotting

"I thought they were deaf, but now that they've found out, we can withdraw and go back to the camp to rest."

Chen Tang rubbed the blade of his sword and smiled mysteriously.

"Withdraw the troops...... General Wu thought that he had heard it wrong, and when he saw that the generals around him were all looking at Chen Tang with a confused expression, he knew that he had heard correctly, and asked in confusion: "Commander...... This...... This is the withdrawal of troops...... Be...... Isn't it too child's play? ”

"Things in the army, how can it be child's play." Chen Tang said solemnly: "This is the latest military order, you immediately order to go down, the whole army retreats quietly, don't make a loud noise, let the mountain bandits on the mountain hear it, and it will be troublesome." ”

The generals were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know what Chen Tang was thinking, but the military order was difficult to disobey, and they couldn't resist, so they had to retreat.

"Wait, you go find ten war horses at once, tie them to the war drums, and then withdraw when they are done."

When the generals turned around and withdrew from the tent, Chen Tang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, stopped them, and ordered, "Then tie some scarecrows and hide them...... Remember to put armor on them. ”

The generals immediately understood that Chen Tang was trying to set up a suspicious plan, alas...... The current commanders are like this, they don't say a word about it, they have to make themselves so unfathomable, and they want us to guess, it's really a pain in the idle eggs.

"The Admiral understands." Although the generals were slanderous in their hearts, they did a good job on the surface, showing a look of worship on their faces, and clasped their fists in reverence.

Sure enough, those who can become the top generals are all shrewd people, at least they have much more thoughts than those honest soldiers.

After arranging everything, Chen Tang led the troops to retreat, let them recuperate physically and mentally, and instructed Shen Shi to make food.

………………

"I haven't come back yet, but Wang Wu and Wang Liu have been killed."

Wang Qi waited for a while, and he didn't see them come back for a long time to report the news, so he was so anxious that he walked around the hall, and said anxiously: "What kind of chessboard is Ding Chao playing this time, this is not like his style." ”

Wang Qi summoned two more servants and ordered: "You two go down the mountain to explore the military situation, see what the hell the officers and soldiers say I do, remember that this mission is important, you must be careful, and bring the news back alive." ”

The two little guys, thinking that Wang Qi cared about their life safety, were moved, and knelt down and said: "The villain must not be as good as the mission to complete the important task of the seventh brother." ”

Wang Qi, nicknamed Wang Qi, is called Seventh Brother by all the brothers in the clan.

Wang Qi was still not at ease, and repeatedly emphasized: "You two ...... Be sure to bring the news back alive. ”

The two little guys burst into tears, patted their chests and said, "The villain will definitely come back alive, please rest assured." ”

"These two are crazy!" Wang Qi guessed in his heart, but the manpower in the mountains was limited...... Talent is rare, and at this time, ...... He could only fill up the numbers, waved his hand and said: "You two can only watch from afar, not close, go and return quickly...... Hurry up. ”

The two servants took the order and walked down the mountain road, the further down they went, the louder the sound of the war drums became, but no matter how they listened, they felt disorganized and unruly.

They were curious, and they also hid behind the big tree where Wang Wu and Wang Liu had hidden, and peeked sideways, but the mountain was empty, and they almost blew up their lungs.

Damn, is there such a bully, everyone runs away and beats a drum, which makes people shut up.

Wang Jiu was bold and prepared to go down the mountain to see what was beating the drum, wasn't this paralyzed and had nothing to do.

"Lao Jiu, look there, are there any officers and soldiers lurking in the grass?" Wang Bayi grabbed Wang Qi's back, worthy of a bush, and said in a low voice.

Wang Jiu was pulled back by Wang Ba, and looked over along his fingers, only to see that in the depths of the grass, there were indeed some people lying there, but the distance was too far to see how many people were ambushed.

"It's so dangerous, I almost fell into an ambush." Wang Jiu patted his chest and said with a frightened expression: "Fortunately, you are still sharp-eyed, otherwise if I go this time, I am afraid that it will become a hornet's nest in a second." ”

Wang Ba waved his hand and said indifferently: "They are all their own brothers, and it would be too obvious to say this." ”

"Yes, yes, it's still the starling that's right." Wang Jiu responded, his eyes kept scanning the grass, but he saw the corpses of Wang Wu and Wang Liu lying in a corner, and said with a sense of regret: "Look, is that the corpse of Wang Wu and Wang Liu, if you don't stop me, I'm afraid that the next one to lie down will be me." ”

Wang Ba shuddered, and said in a panic: "Let's go, this place is weird and gloomy, I always feel that there is a pair of eyes staring at us, let's go back to the mountain and explain the situation to Brother Qi." ”

Wang Jiu also felt the same way, nodded, and returned to the mountain with Wang Ba.

They reported what they had seen to Wang Qi, and emphasized: "These officers and soldiers are so hateful, lying in ambush in the grass to lure us down the mountain, and this is how Wang 5 and Wang 6 were killed by them. ”

Wang Jiu interjected on the side: "Seventh brother, that Ding Chao is an incompetent person, and now that he has come up with such a bad idea, we might as well rush down and destroy them." ”

"I wouldn't want to." Wang Qi shook his head and sighed: "But you have to know that we have been wronged, if we really fight with the officers and soldiers, we will become bandits if we are not thieves, so we have to defend the cottage, just wait for Lord Qincha to come and return our innocence." ”

Wang Jiu said indignantly: "But this is too bullying, why can we only defend but not attack, hide in the mountains and feed mosquitoes." ”

Wang Qi didn't feel good in his heart, but he still comforted him: "Lord Qincha has already left Beijing, so Ding Chao is in a hurry now, not us, you must not relax your vigilance these days, let Ding Chao take advantage of the void." ”

Wang Jiu said disdainfully: "Our hills and mountains are connected to other counties on three sides, and the only way out is still controlled by us, even if he Ding Chao puts on his wings, he can't fly, Seventh Brother, you just put your heart in your stomach." ”

Wang Qi was a little uncertain, and told him: "Don't be careless, Ding Chao deliberately beat the war drums, just to paralyze us, the two of you ordered to go down, let the brothers on guard not relax their vigilance, the officers and soldiers may attack at any time." ”

Wang Ba said worriedly: "But the officers and soldiers have not attacked, and our brothers have been guarding there, once the officers and soldiers suddenly attack, I am worried that they will be physically exhausted." ”

Wang Qi frowned and said: "What you said has some truth, you immediately order to go down and let the brothers of the guards divide into two groups, take shifts once an hour, save their physical strength, and do not relax." ”

Wang Ba nodded and said, "The villain will go and order." ”
