said that Zishuo came to Pi Tong's tent quickly and told Pi Tong about the situation of the war.

After Pi Tong heard this, his face was slightly happy, "Zishuo, this trip has worked hard for you." ”

Zishuo replied; "The subordinates are just acting according to the orders of the adults, and there is no hard work. However, it was the two generals Su An and Sun Hu, who fought hard to kill the enemy in the battle formation, which greatly raised the prestige of our army and was very brave. ”

Pi Tong nodded, "Zishuo, when you were pursuing, did you find anything unusual when they withdrew?" ”

Zishuo shook his head and said: "It's not too big an anomaly, it's just that when our army passed through their defensive positions, my subordinates carefully paid attention to the withdrawal of their positions. It was found that the place where they had evacuated the camp was very neat, and there seemed to be no panic, as if they were not retreating because of defeat, but deliberately defeated, and had prepared to evacuate. ”

"Oh? Doesn't it look like a defeated retreat? How tidy is the evacuation camp? Pi Tong frowned, and said to himself: "Wang Mang doesn't have many soldiers and horses, but the defeat and evacuation are so neat, could it be that he did it on purpose, and wanted to deceive me with a false ambush plan?" ”

"That's how it should be!"

Strategist Zhang Shiyuan said in a deep voice: "Wang Mang's withdrawal of troops like this must be a trick, trying to make me think that I have a plan and dare not pursue deeply." In this way, he could buy time and continue to devise other schemes. ”

Pi Tong thought about it for a long time, and couldn't judge the truth or falsehood, so he just said to Zishuo: "You go back and tell Zhang Hu Su'an, just say that their previous sins have all been atoned." When you get back to the camp, you can keep the two of them on the challenge.

If the other party should not, there is no need to force it. In the early morning of the second day, you can try again. If they don't come out, then you can wait for an opportunity to provoke them to fight. In short, you must fight him every day, and do not give him the slightest chance to breathe and delay, and I am here to watch his movements, and slowly force him with a large army. ”

"Yes, sir." Zishuo received the military order, turned around and headed towards the front-line camp.

When he came to the camp and saw Su An and Zhang Hu, he told them everything and told Pi Tong that he had forgiven their sins.

When Su An and the others heard the situation, they felt a lot more relieved, and asked for an order: "Mr. Zishuo, since the adults have an order, then I can go to call the battle again to observe the situation." ”

"Good!" Zishuo nodded and said, "When you call the formation, don't get too close to the opponent's camp, lest they don't talk about morality and fight out of the army." ”

"Sir, don't worry, I have my own accruals."

----

However, it was said that Dong Wu's troops were defeated and evacuated more than ten miles and returned. Dressed up, he led Yan You Chen Shou to the big tent and met Wang Mang.

When the three of them saw Wang Mang, they immediately looked ashamed, and said in unison: "Lord Wang, the subordinates are not effective in commanding the troops, which has led to the loss of our army and low morale, please surrender your lordship!" ”

"Hahaha..."

Wang Mang laughed three times, "The general acted according to the plan and made great contributions, how can he say this?" ”

Gongsun Ce on the side also smiled and said: "General Dong, General Yan, General Chen, in the previous battle, I also watched carefully in the rear." The three generals fought hard to kill the enemy, and they were not afraid of death, which was a great achievement.

Not to mention that the soldiers of the Pi army are well-equipped, your troops are still less than 1,000 of them, and it is normal for you to be defeated by the other side in a contest. In the previous battle, you led the soldiers whose morale was slightly low, and you were able to fight with them on an equal footing, which is enough to show the bravery of the generals. Now that our plan has been carried out smoothly, Pi Tong is bound to win the plan. When our reinforcements arrive the next day, they will be wiped out. ”

Dong Wu asked, "Dare to ask Lord Wang, Mr. Gongsun, how should I arrange it now?" ”

Wang Mang pondered: "According to Pi Tong's temperament, he should also send someone to call for a battle and test it." Later, if any of them really comes to call for battle, you don't have to go out of the battle, you can only let them disturb them with arrows, and don't let them get half a step close to our barracks. Tomorrow, they will march in a big way. If they don't come, we'll march in.

But there is one rule, no matter what the situation is tomorrow, try not to let the soldiers fight. Just play the main battle in front of the battle to preserve the strength of the foundation. made Na Pi Tong puzzled, thinking that we had lost a lot of troops today, and it was not good to let the soldiers fight again. Let him think that we are in an anxious situation, and we want to fight hard, but we are also afraid of it. ”

Dong Wu and the others could listen to the words, and their hearts were settled.

At the moment, I was about to discuss some trivial details, this is, a small soldier who was defending the camp in front of him hurriedly came to the camp.

"Lord Qiqi, generals. Su An, the vanguard of the Pi army, led a thousand troops to call for battle in front of our army, and the guard general Han Guang asked my lord, do you want to line up to meet the enemy? ”

"Oh? They came so soon? Wang Mang was greatly surprised by the speed of the other party's troops, shook his head and said, "It seems that they are really eager for quick success." Dong Wu, you can go and preside over the military. Hang up the no-fight cards and ignore them. ”

Dong Wu smiled slightly, and followed the herald soldiers out of the camp.

After a while, he came to the camp in front of the formation and saw Su An scolding and shouting.

Su An called for a long time, and saw that there was no movement in the camp ahead, and was about to retreat to rest.

Now he suddenly saw movement in the camp ahead, so he hurriedly cheered up and concentrated his eyes to watch.

At a glance, when he saw Dong Wu, he immediately thought in his heart, and shouted: "Dong Wu, you are just a defeated fugitive." If you really have the guts, and you are a big husband, can you dare to fight me for another 300 rounds? ”

Dong Wu replied: "Su An, you don't want to be rampant, how can a certain family be afraid of you?" I'm tired today, and after a rest, I'll find an opportunity to fight you again, and then you don't want to run away. ”

"Hahaha, the shrinking turtle who doesn't dare to go out of the battle dares to say such a big thing?" Su An said disdainfully.

"Humph!"

Dong Wu snorted coldly, it was difficult to speak.

At this time, the archer Yan Yang couldn't look at it. stood up and said coldly to Su An: "You wait for the puppet, you don't know how to educate, you only know killing." I, General Dong, have every opportunity, worry about the people, and do my best, but you still think that my family has no combat power. Su An, today I will let you see my martial arts, lest you not know the height of the sky. ”

With that, he took off the swarthy crossbow on his back and put on the feathers of the arrow.

Su An heard Yan Yang speak, but he didn't react for a while.

But next to him, there was an adjutant general who saw the situation and immediately changed his face, "General Su, the name of the person who spoke here is Yan Yang, and it is not surprising that he has military strength. It's just that he has the stunt of piercing Yang in 100 steps, as long as he is within range, there is no one he can't shoot. The general can quickly retreat to avoid cold arrows. ”

"Shhhh Is he the Tiger Prison God Shooting Swallow Sheep? ”

Su An was shocked, grabbed the reins, and ran backwards.

At this time, Yan Yang released the arrow string.

Then there was a thud, and the arrow feather pierced through the air and shot out.

Shout....

The arrow feather was impartial, and it shot right at the tail end of Su'an's war horse.

Suddenly, the horse was in pain, and his kicks were raised high, and his chirping was incessant. Su An was unprepared for a moment and fell off the horse.

Yan Yang laughed and said, "Su An, I'll give you a lesson today, let you know how powerful I am." If you dare to speak out again, I will shoot you. ”

The reason why he didn't shoot Su An was because he deliberately let Su An go. so as not to anger Pi Tong and affect the plan.

Su An was shocked by this blow and looked horrified. I didn't dare to say anything anymore, just ran away with my head bored.

Dong Wu smiled with relief: "Brother Yanyang, this time I really owe it to you." That Su An is really annoying, it's not good to fight, and it's not good not to fight. If you hadn't come out of the way, I'm afraid he wouldn't have cocked his tail into the sky. ”
