Without seeing the reinforcements outside the city with his own eyes, Xue Jinyan always had some doubts in his heart, and he didn't believe that King Wu could guess the enemy's movements with only a small amount of information.

She arranged for her soldiers, climbed the city wall, and patrolled the east and north sides from afar, until night fell, and she did not see any clues.

It is true that there are more lights in the officer and soldier camp than expected, but this is likely to be a suspicious tactic.

"If King Wu guesses wrong, it's a big joke." Xue Jin shook herself in a low voice, somehow, she actually hoped that King Wu really guessed wrong, but she comforted herself: "Anyway, all the kings are wrong, and he is not the only one." ”

Xue Jinyan returned to the camp for dinner, only a few rooms away from King Wu, and did not go to him, knowing in his heart that King Wu was wary of himself, and it would be boring to send him to the door at this time.

The generals went in and out, informing her of the situation everywhere, Xue Jin shook the answer while eating, she has never been good at memory, she always stumbled when writing and endorsing, turned her head and forgot it, and changed to lead the troops to fight, but she remembered the names of the generals, the strength of each team, and the distribution and arrangement clearly, and then with the assistance of several generals recommended by King Wu, she could always give an answer immediately, as if everything was in her plan.

Even the generals who had the most contempt for the incarnated generals changed their views at the end of the day, thinking that this young woman was really a natural commander, and if it was a man, he would have stood out a long time ago.

The number of people who came gradually decreased, Xue Jinyao only left two guards, let the others also go to eat, take a break, and then go to patrol the city to supervise the soldiers to guard the city.

As soon as there were few people, Xue Jin shook his eyes and whispered to a guard beside him: "Go out and see, who is probing the brain and pulling me in." ”

The guard was also a woman, tall and not as tall as the Golden Saintess, and went out in response, and not long after, there was a quarrel outside.

Tang Weitian entered the house angrily and shouted, "Don't touch me, I can go by myself." ”

Xue Jin frowned slightly, "What are you doing here?" Is there something wrong with King Wu? ”

"It's okay, I came out to hang out, and I happened to come to you, who thought that your men would come up and arrest people. Why, is no one allowed to pass by at the door? Tang raised his head for the sky and refused to salute, he came back late and didn't catch up with King Wu to get married, so he didn't recognize this Mrs. King Wu in his heart.

"Hey, you've been back and forth seven or eight times. Take him back to King Wu and ask King Wu what is going on. Xue Jin waved his hand, intending to entangle with one of the guards.

Tang Weitian softened, clasped his hands into fists, and said with a smile: "Jin Shengnu, don't look for the Grand Dudu, he is in a bad mood now, I don't want to mess with him." ”

"Let's be honest."

Tang Weitian was already upright, and said: "I'll come and see how the incarnation stick is, since I was called in, I still want to ask the Golden Holy Maiden, when will it be returned?" ”

Xue Jin shook a glance at the stick on his waist, "So you want to steal my things." ”

"How is it stealing?" Tang Weitian's eyes widened, and he was even more unconvinced, "The Avatar Stick was originally the treasure of the Grand Duke, and I ......will keep it for him."

"The incarnation stick is obviously my father's thing, when did it become the king of Wu?"

"Hehe, although I haven't seen it in person, but I have heard that the incarnation king gave the god rod to the Metropolitan Governor in public, and from then on, it belonged to the Metropolitan Governor until it was snatched away by you."

"That has nothing to do with you, King Wu is here to ask for it, I will give it, no one else can do it, and you can't do it."

"Why can't I?"

"You keep the incarnation stick for King Wu?"

"Yes, I have always kept it, and I still have a relative who has an incarnation stick, you see, it was originally a couple, and you broke it up."

Xue Jinyan couldn't help laughing, "You want to kiss, we don't recognize you." You have kept the Incarnation Stick, which is equivalent to ...... The scabbard, not the owner of the knife, the knife is gone, only the owner can look for it, the scabbard can't, it's useless to look for it. ”

"I'm just a scabbard?" Tang blushed for the sky.

"It's still a makeshift scabbard, and it's of little value."

"The Metropolitan Governor believes in me the most, and I'm not temporary." Tang Weitian crossed his hands on his hips, although he was also born in the Descending Army, and he had long known about the Golden Holy Maiden, since he followed King Wu, he no longer took the former leader seriously, "The Metropolitan Governor would rather trust me than you." ”

Xue Jinyan was said to be the sore spot, his face turned cold, and he sneered at him, "He doesn't believe me, let me be a general, he believes in you, but he only asks you to be a small soldier and a scabbard." ”

The two glared at each other, Xue Jinyan was only two or three years older than Tang Weitian, and at this time he also became like a child, his eyes did not blink, and he had to stare at winning or losing.

The two female soldiers guarding the side saw it in their eyes and smiled in their hearts, the golden saint girl was just a descended general who was feared by everyone, and in the blink of an eye, she became a girl who fought for the advantage of her tongue.

Tang Weitian said loudly: "What if you are a general? Cao Shenxi said, there was a problem with your arrangement during the day, and King Wu specially asked me to ask for clarification, and after asking, I decided not to fight. ”

Tang Weitian deliberately concealed a detail, he didn't ask anything from Cao Shenxi, and King Wu's cancellation of the attack actually had nothing to do with it.

Xue Jinyan believed, "Which Cao Shenxi?" ”

"Just a Cao Shenxi, the old general who surrendered to the officers and soldiers, was originally going to be killed on the spot, he has fought more battles than you have seen and heard combined, he said that you have a problem, that is, there is a problem."

Xue Jinyan stood up, Tang Weitian was startled, the two had tried their strength, he was slightly inferior, worried that he was still not an opponent at this time.

Xue Jinyan's first thought was to confront King Wu, but after getting up, he changed his mind and walked out of the house, followed closely by two guards, leaving Tang Weitian standing there alone in a daze, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he turned around and left, vaguely feeling that he might have said the wrong thing just now.

Tang Weitian was to fetch something for King Wu, and after finding it, he hurriedly ran back, not mentioning his quarrel with the Golden Holy Maiden.

Xue Jin shook his way to the temporary prison in Dongcheng.

More than 800 "spies" were all imprisoned here, dozens of people in a room, sitting with their legs crossed, there was not much room left to move, they came down all day, they did not eat or drink, and they were frightened, almost no one moved, and they sat there like stones.

As soon as the door opened, the pungent smell came to his face, Xue Jin waved his hand, took two steps back, and said to the soldiers guarding it, "Can't you let them out to solve it?" ”

"Anyway, it's the people who are going to die, don't give them food and water, and it's okay slowly."

"Find out Cao Shenxi."

"Yes." Two soldiers went in with their noses covered, and soon pushed one out.

Xue Jin shook his eyes, vaguely remembering that this person was indeed the general Cao Shenxi, and said to the soldiers: "Find a clean room, I will interrogate." ”

"There's it here."

Cao Shenxi was very surprised by this "interrogation", he had never seen a woman call a general, or a commander of an army, standing there not knowing what to say, so he had to remain silent.

Xue Jin ordered someone to sit down, Cao Shenxi was indeed tired, and he still didn't speak after sitting down.

After being silent for a long time, Xue Jin shook his head: "You have led troops to fight many battles?" ”

"Some." Cao Shenxi said modestly, his eyes lowered.

"Did you say I had a problem with my formation?"

Cao Shenxi suddenly realized, "Uh...... It's me who is talking nonsense for a while. ”

"What you say nonsense, King Wu is still willing to take it seriously-what are you capable of? How many victories have you fought? I haven't won the last few games. ”

Cao Shenxi was somewhat arrogant, "I have fought more than 60 battles in my life, and I have never been defeated." ”

"Haha, don't be ashamed, you haven't been defeated, how can you become a captive?"

"Mistaken."

"Whom?"

"Lan and Knowles, the family is so happy, but they are timid when they are in battle, the family only wants personal gain, and they are reckless in the face of war, and they refuse to listen to my persuasion, so it is not my crime to fall into the hands of you." Cao Shenxi knew that his life could not be guaranteed, but he was more confident.

"According to you, no one is defeated, but it is all mistaken. And what about those who win? How did they not be mistaken? ”

Cao Shenxi shook his head, "There are many things that you little girl won't understand." ”

Xue Jinyao would be angered by Tang Weitian, but in front of Cao Shenxi, he could stop his heart, "Do you know more, or are you still 'misunderstood'?" ”

Cao Shenxi still shook his head.

"If you dare to chew your tongue behind your back, you dare to say to your face, what do you think is wrong with my arrangement?"

"The war is canceled, and it is useless to say more."

"Whether it's beneficial or not, I have the final say, anyway, I have to know what you said, if you don't say it, I'll let people slap it." Xue Jin glanced at his guards and added, "Let the woman slap her mouth." ”

Cao Shenxi would rather be killed than be humiliated like this, so he had to say: "You put the cavalry in front of you to let the cavalry fight with the officers and soldiers first, right?" ”

"Well, cavalry against cavalry, entangle the enemy, and then the infantry will enter the battle one by one, and we have many soldiers, enough to surround the enemy soldiers and wipe them out." Xue Jin paused, "Of course, this is when the officers and soldiers have no reinforcements. ”

Cao Shenxi smiled and shook his head, "Don't you have cavalry generals under your account?" ”

"Yes, like you, you are also a general on the side of the officers and soldiers, and they helped me arrange the cavalry, and they all said that there was no problem."

Cao Shenxi still shook his head, "Your so-called cavalry generals are just some captains, who know how to march and don't know how to set up formations." ”

"Don't just say that others are wrong, say what you think."

"I'm not a great general, at least I understand one truth, the infantry is positive, the cavalry is strange, the right one is in the middle and the front, the strange one is in the side and the back, the normal way of play, the infantry pins down the enemy, the cavalry waits for the opportunity to move, and there is no other way around."

"Jizhou cavalry is the majority, and that's what they do." Xue Jinyan didn't think he was at fault.

"That's Wang Tiemei's incompetence, he is only a cavalry general, but not a general, and he can only fight against the northern captives on the frontier. If he had learned more about the art of war, he would not have occupied the southern city and lost it the day before yesterday, and he would have been defeated by not being able to use infantry. ”

"They all say that the cavalry is powerful, but you say the opposite."

"Riding and stepping are strange and positive, no one is more powerful, if you have this idea, you will encounter a strong enemy, you will be defeated, the real general, can evolve countless changes between a strange and a positive, so that the enemy is unable to guard against it."

"But you're still defeated, even if you're mistaken, you're still defeated."

Cao Shenxi sighed, and had no intention of arguing, "Well, I am defeated, defeated, and I see right become wrong, and wrong becomes right." Everyone in the world is like this, replacing right and wrong with victory and defeat, according to this, not only I am defeated, but also Tiancheng is defeated, and in the past 20 years, no one seems to remember who ended the five-nation competition. The incarnation king was even more defeated, ascending to the sky in one step, and dying in one day. You will also be defeated in the future, and then you will be called incompetent. Winning or losing is right or wrong, and everyone is wrong. ”

Xue Jinyan silently listened to the old general's complaints, and when it came to his father, he didn't refute it.

Xue Jin stood up shakyly, startling Cao Shenxi, and she said, "In the future, you will be a general for me and teach me the art of stepping and riding." ”
