The crowd dispersed, leaving only two advisers, who did not like to sit on the blanket for a long time, called in a soldier and wrestled in the open space while talking to the two men standing next to him, without delay.

In the face of Shan Yu, the soldier did not have the slightest intention of humility, and the shot was heavy and ruthless, several times Shan Yu fell to the ground, Shan Yu became more and more courageous, and the soldier also fell, and gradually gasped when he spoke, and had to tilt his energy towards wrestling.

Xu Ji suddenly remembered the Emperor of All Things who rode a horse and danced a lance.

Shan Yu first talked to Kou Daogu and asked the Central Plains people what they thought of wrestling.

Kou Daogu also had no intention of being humble, claiming that wrestling was a small skill in the Central Plains, and the soldiers in the army practiced it for fitness, the artists of the rivers and lakes learned it for rewards, and the market scoundrels learned to win by fighting, and the scholars did not do it, the officials did not do it, and the emperor especially did not do it.

Shan Yu laughed, he didn't feel humiliated, but fell harder, "He Rongren is different from the Central Plains people, and they need me to ...... How do you say that word? ”

"Change customs."

"Yes......" Shan Yu got up from the ground, "Xu Ji, you are not going to speak today?" ”

Kou Daogu stared at Xu Ji coldly, seeing if he dared to admonish.

"Guandanyu means to transfer troops and send generals, and it seems that he still wants to attack the Huaizhou army." Xu Ji got straight to the point.

"Exactly." Shan Yu held back his strength to wrestle his opponent, and waited for a while before answering, "It has nothing to do with you, I didn't break the contract, and I will wait until tomorrow morning to attack." ”

"What about the hostages?"

"I came to the Central Plains to compete with the heroes, which one to fight...... No damage? Pingshan and they know my plan, and they will find a way to escape, and if they can't, it will be considered meritorious. ”

"Sheng Xuan veteran, experienced in a hundred battles, when he led his troops out of the city, the formation was not chaotic, and he guessed his intentions, and he must be prepared."

"Haha, since I led my troops into the fortress, He Rongren has not fought a tough battle, and the enemy army needs to be 'prepared', don't be like the previous few times, and be defeated with one blow."

"Yecheng is not too far from Mengjin......"

Shan Yu motioned for the soldiers to pause, turned to Xu Ji and said, "I won't watch an enemy army leave, you don't have to say any more, your words are not to my liking." Step aside. ”

Xu Ji was kicked out, and Kou Daogu stayed behind and continued to talk to Shan Yu.

Chang Yanzhi had been waiting for a long time, "Childe, things don't seem right, the whole camp is sharpening their knives, and it looks like they have to fight." ”

"Well, Shan Yu has already decided to attack tomorrow morning."

"But that's the case...... Childe's reputation will be ruined. ”

Xu Ji smiled, "My reputation has been ruined, let's rest, I'm really tired today." ”

"I've got clean water."

Xu Ji washed, Chang Yanzhi was still not at ease, "There are more than 100,000 Huaizhou troops, and they can always fight with He Rongren, right?" ”

"The Huaizhou army does not have more than 100,000 troops, and is eager to return to their hometown, has no intention of fighting, and can maintain calm when leaving the city, once it is attacked, it will undoubtedly collapse."

"Ah......" Chang Yanzhi didn't care about the Huaizhou army to lose the battle, but that Gongzi was actually smiling.

"Sleep, there may be unexpected news tomorrow."

Chang Yanzhi went out to pour water, and fell asleep very late after coming back, thinking repeatedly about whether he would stay if Gongzi really wanted to be loyal to Shan Yu.

The next morning, Chang Yanzhi got up and went out to check the situation.

The camp seemed much empty, most of the soldiers went to chase the Huaizhou army, and the other part went to occupy Yecheng, leaving only some servants and women and children to pack up their things, and everyone was discussing enthusiastically how much their masters would receive after winning this battle.

Chang Yanzhi couldn't walk around, chatted with the nearby servants for a few words, but didn't get much news, so he had to go back to the tent.

Xu Ji was still asleep.

At three poles in the morning, Xu Ji still hadn't woken up, Chang Yanzhi heard the sound outside, and went out to check again, only to see a team of He Rong cavalry entering the camp, and the servants were caught off guard and accelerated to pack up the tents.

The people of He Rong were accustomed to living in tents and did not like to be bound by the city walls, and although they captured Yecheng, they still camped outside the city.

A large number of cavalry hurried back to the camp with a cold expression, and constantly scolded their servants, obviously not very happy, but there were no wounded in sight.

Chang Yanzhi was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask, and suddenly remembered Childe's words, isn't this just an "unexpected news"? As soon as he was about to enter the account to report, he saw more than ten horsemen galloping over, and the leader said loudly: "Shan Yu wants to see Xu Ji, now!" ”

In the tent, Xu Ji had already gotten up, walked out to take a look, and said with a smile to Chang Yanzhi: "Sure enough, there was an accident." ”

There were only a few people in the big tent, Shan Yu's face was gloomy, and there were beads of sweat that had not been wiped away, as soon as Xu Ji came in, he stared closely, until Xu Ji came closer, and his eyes did not leave.

"What do you know?" Shan Yu asked.

"Hmm...... It seems that Shan Yu did not seem to attack the Huaizhou army, and this is what I know. ”

"No, no, you advised me not to attack last night."

"Yes, I did."

"You also said that the Huaizhou army will be on guard."

Xu Ji smiled slightly, "I just said it casually, was I really right?" ”

Kou Daogu came in from outside and saluted, but Shan Yu didn't look at him, "It's not the Huaizhou army that is on guard, but the King of Liang, he set up an ambush on the road, but we see through it." ”

"So it's better to stop the attack in time." Xu Ji nodded, as if he had just suddenly realized, and then said: "Strange, how could King Liang know that the Huaizhou army was retreating, and expected that He Rongren would pursue it?" ”

"I was about to ask you." Shan Yu said coldly.

"It's hard to say, let me guess. May I ask Shan Yu, how many troops did King Liang lead? ”

"Does it matter?"

"It has a lot to do with it, if King Liang leads a large number of troops, it is to come prepared, the previous escape, presumably in the preparation of troops, the Huaizhou army abandoned Yecheng, ruined his plan. On the contrary, if King Liang did not lead many troops, it was a coincidence, he came to check the situation in Yecheng, but he ran into the retreat of the Huaizhou army, so he bluffed. ”

Shan Yu was silent for a moment, and his tone was slightly slower when he spoke, "King Liang is an ambush soldier, with many banners, and it is impossible to see that there are many soldiers and few soldiers from a distance. ”

"Well, you can wait a little longer. If King Liang comes prepared, he will inevitably have many generals, and he will join the Huaizhou army, and his strength will increase greatly. ”

Shan Yu also thought so, so he led his troops to retreat, to meet the enemy in a wide area, "What if it's a coincidence?" ”

"If you run away, you won't be able to do it."

With a pale face, he would rather King Liang come prepared and fight with real swords and guns, rather than just a coincidence, which would make him lose a good opportunity, and even make him lose face in front of the soldiers of his headquarters.

Kou Daogu stepped forward and said, "Shan Yu was deceived by Xu Ji. ”

"Huh?"

"King Liang did not come prepared, nor did he catch up by chance, he has always been in the army, and went out of the city with the Huaizhou people, but he changed his flag halfway and showed his true identity. Shan Yu didn't know the details, thinking that King Liang led his troops from elsewhere and fell for Xu Ji's tricks. ”

Shan Yu looked at Xu Ji, Xu Ji smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't think it was worth arguing.

"Do you have proof?" Shan Yu asked.

"No, but you can't be wrong." Kou Daogu glanced at Xu Ji, "He obviously expected that Shan Yu would pursue the Huaizhou army, so he designed it in advance." He stayed in the city for a long time, and if there was no king of Liang, who would he talk to? ”

Shan Yu looked at Xu Ji again, half-convinced.

Xu Ji sighed lightly, "When I entered the city yesterday, the Liang people refused to admit that King Liang had left, and tried their best to delay time, passing back and forth, pretending that King Liang was still there, and I didn't see the real person for a long time before I realized that I had been fooled." Mr. Kou thinks too highly of me, as if he knows everything, and he thinks too low of Shan Yu to hide why. When Shan Yu took King Zuo Shenwei as a hostage, I had nothing else in mind. ”

Kou Daogu wanted to continue to speak, but he raised his hand to stop it, "Don't talk about things without evidence, whether to fight or retreat, it's all up to me to decide, and it has nothing to do with others." ”

A Master He Rong hurriedly ran in, "Shan Yu, the hostages are back!" ”

Shan Yu was both surprised and delighted, "They fled back?" How many people are left? ”

"Ten of them are here."

Shan Yu strode out of the tent to greet him, and although he was willing to trade the ten hostages for a big victory, he was still happy to see them come back alive.

There were only a few servants and guards left in the big tent, they didn't understand the Central Plains, Kou Daogu said: "I really don't have evidence, but I guessed right, King Liang is in the city, and you designed to intimidate Shan Yu." ”

"Alas, Mr. Kou said the day before yesterday that he would not declare a personal vendetta."

Kou Daogu's face flashed with anger, "This is not a personal vendetta...... Hey, you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for a lifetime, even if King Liang is willing to keep it a secret for you, there are people around him who don't know the depths, and the truth will soon be revealed. ”

"Mr. Kou has been staring, and the 'truth' will indeed be leaked."

Xu Ji hinted that the other party would deceive the "truth", and Kou Daogu laughed angrily, "I don't have to focus on anything, Xu Gongzi has too many conspiracies and many loopholes, so he can't stay in the same place for too long, and he always has to change places before being exposed." It's the same here in Shan Yu, I just need to keep an eye on you and don't let you run away again, sooner or later Shan Yu will see through your true colors. ”

Xu Ji smiled: "You want to keep an eye on me?" ”

Kou Daogu nodded slightly.

"Okay, if I lose anything in the future, I'll ask you."

A group of people walked in from outside, Shan Yu held He Rongpingshan's arm, and asked, "What did the Huaizhou army say about releasing you?" ”

Ten hostages galloped all the way, all sweating profusely, He Rongpingshan said: "Huai General Sheng Xuan said, thank Shan Yu for seeing him off, in order to show his sincerity, first put the hostages back, I hope Shan Yu will keep his promise......"

"Hey." Shan Yu let go of his palm and stopped: "It's just ten hostages, put it back." In this way, King Liang and the Huaizhou army did not chase after him, haha, it was really a bluff, okay, King Liang has some means, I underestimated him in the past. I am all to blame for the efforts of the teachers and the people who return in vain. ”

The adults waited for Shan Yu to speak again in their own language, rushing to confess their sins.

Shan Yu said a lot of words, gradually impassioned, and re-aroused morale, He Rongpingshan and others were both surprised and excited, cheering continuously.

As a leader who has just misjudged, he minimizes the loss of prestige.

The adults retreated one after another, and Shan Yu said to the two advisors: "The time has passed, it is too late to chase the Huai people and the King of Liang, and there is no need, I will divide the troops to stay in Yecheng, and early tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the troops to attack and annex the state." ”

Xu Ji and Kou Daogu were both shocked, and Kou Daogu persuaded: "Shan Yu doesn't seem to have to be in such a hurry. ”

Shan Yu said with a smile: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, this is a plan that has been set a long time ago, the Tiancheng army should have attacked the Flying Fox Pass today, and if I don't do it, it will be too late." ”

Xu Ji suddenly understood that Shan Yunan's attack on Yecheng and the emperor with him all the time were actually in exchange for the peace of mind of the King of Jin and the opportunity for the county lord of Huanyan to sneak attack.

I don't know if King Jin would have thought of this earlier.
