Chapter 255: This Is War

In an inconspicuous small tent next to the big tent of the Chinese army in the green camp in Sichuan, there were people standing around a small wooden round table, tall, short, fat and thin, but they were all hung with different shades of armor, and only An Yi was a plain brocade robe.

This tent person can be regarded as holding all the soldiers and horses in the Great Xia Shu Land in his hands.

"I'm sorry guys, I'm late."

When Lin Muzhi got into this small tent, he attracted everyone's attention.

An Yi saw that Lin Mu was still pulling this Gao Ciyi in front of him, and couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "Didn't I say that Meng Qi and Ah Yi were injured and didn't participate for the time being, why did you pull him here again." ”

Lin Muzhi's hand hidden behind his back moved towards Gao Ciyi behind him without a trace, Gao Ciyi immediately understood, and said with some embarrassment: "That...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I just met in the hut and I took the initiative to come and see ......."

An Yi glanced at him with no expression on his face, as if he wanted to block Gao Ciyi's mouth, and deliberately interrupted him: "Those who take the initiative to follow can't participate, you can just watch from the side." ”

Lin Muzhi suddenly laughed and scratched his head, and interjected: "Why don't I think so, just let Ah Yi be a referee, for the sake of fairness, let Ah Yi wash the lot." ”

An Yi was silent, looked at the two people suspiciously, and nodded after a while,

Lin Muzhi saw An Yi agreeing, and hurriedly pulled a pair of small paper balls on the round table that he didn't know who folded, "Then please ask Ah Yi to help us wash it properly." ”

"Okay."

After Gao Ciyi agreed, he deliberately glanced at An Yi, but found that after meeting An Yi's eyes, he didn't have the feeling of mutual understanding, but just saw a trace of doubt in his eyes,

But now that we're ready to go, even if there's any problem, we'll have to wait until it's over.

Anyway, Gao Ciyi thought so at the time, he pinched all these lots of different sizes on the table again, some of them looked too wrinkled, and then unfolded them and re-stacked them, making them look at least as big as they looked, and then turned the big bowl upside down on these lots.

When Gao Ciyi was on the way, he also said to Lin Muzhi, I am not a god, you have so many brains, even if you know which paper is painted with a red hook, there is no guarantee that it must be in Lin Muzhi's hands.

It's like saying that Zhao Shuang stretched out his hand to grab it, and you Gao Ciyi can still pat it on the back of someone's hand and ask him to re-elect and choose a few others?

However, Lin Muzhi thought of a way for him first, and he asked Gao Ciyi not to care who caught which, just find an opportunity to take out the paper with the red hook when the time came.

Now Gao Ciyi doesn't understand it even more, you take out this paper, isn't it even more confusing who is going?

But I don't know if this Lin Muzhi has the temper that he learned from An Yi, just let him do what he says, and don't ask.

Gao Ciyi's technique is still very fast, just now I took the opportunity to re-fold the lots, and saw the paper with the red hook clearly, and when it was buckled under the sea bowl, the paper had been quietly stuffed into his cuffs, replacing another empty paper ball that I don't know when he stuffed into the cuffs,

And right in front of so many people.

"Alright, you guys smoke."

Gao Ciyi felt like the little two in the casino, opened the sieve cup, shouted Come on, buy it and leave!

However, he soon felt that none of these "gamblers" were so happy, they all had low faces, and they didn't look very happy.

First of all, Jiang Shang, after opening it and looking at it, unfolded the empty white paper and put it on the table in front of him, and then everyone seemed to be following suit, one by one, they all unfolded the paper they drew and put it down in front of them.

Gao Ciyi knew in his heart that all these lots in it were all empty, but he really wanted to see what kind of way the god of Lin Mu had mysteriously thought of.

Soon, the answer was revealed.

When everyone spread out the blank paper they drew on the table without exception, only the paper ball in Lin Muzhi's hand had not been opened.

And Gao Ciyi looked at the slightly smiling expression on his face, as if he didn't intend to open it, but just raised the paper ball in his hand towards everyone.

"Yo he, it seems that my hands are slower, and God is starting to take care of me."

According to the idea of ordinary people, the paper ball in everyone's hands is empty, and the remaining one in Lin Muzhi's hands does not need to be opened at all, it must be with a red hook!

But Gao Ciyi on the side suddenly realized in his heart, he was a good boy, this method is really tricky, and I don't know if he thought it himself, or Uncle An taught it.

"Makiyuki, you!"

Now, no matter how many surprises and remorseful expressions are smeared on An Yi's face, in Gao Ciyi's eyes, it seems that he is acting with Lin Muzhi, and he simply silently hugged his arms and became an audience.

Lin Muzhi still had a smile on his face, and waved his hand towards An Yi, "Uncle, I said before, this is Shaanxi, General Liao's side, two of us, one of us in Shudi, whoever wins the lottery will be whoever, don't break the rules." ”

With that, he threw the paper ball in his hand on the round table, and then quickly turned and walked to the tent.

"Brother Lin!"

Of course, An Yi couldn't stay in the camp, so he trotted out in two steps, but when he chased out, Lin Muzhi had already ridden the war horse that seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, and rode in the direction of the outside of the camp.

Gao Ciyi reacted quickly, watching An Yi go out, and he followed closely to chase out of the camp, seeing An Yi staring at Lin Muzhi's distant back, he couldn't help but smile and leaned over and whispered: "Brother, did you come up with this idea?" ”

An Yi was already very anxious because of Liu Siyi's matter, and now that Lin Muzhi is gone like this, his heart is even more depressed, how could he think that when he turned his head and saw Gao Ciyi still smiling, he couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in his heart, and reprimanded him:

"You're proud, aren't you? You're glad you were injured and didn't go to death, did you? ”

After saying that, he looked very angry and turned around to go back to the camp.

It's just that Gao Ciyi in the back choked on these two sentences, and his heart was full of doubts, and he blurted out and asked: "How can you call it death when you get grain and grass?" Isn't it still an empty paper ball that you asked him to make? ”

"Empty paper balls?"

When An Yi turned back again, his eyebrows were already as wrinkled as the paper ball on the table, and he was stunned for a moment before he rushed back to the camp as if he had suddenly realized.

Seeing An Yi rushing in, the generals in the camp tent just wanted to say something, but saw that he rushed straight to the small round table regardless of it, and found the ball of paper that Lin Muzhi had dropped before leaving. But like everyone else, it's a blank slate.

"This ......"

An Yi then understood why Lin Muzhi suddenly brought Gao Ciyi into the camp to do a fair referee, because Gao Ciyi is a trickster!

He turned around, picked up the blank and crumpled paper ball in his hand, and asked Gao Ciyi, who had just walked in, "What's going on?" You all knew it from the beginning? ”

Gao Ciyi was even more of a first two big ones who were asked, and he could only pour out everything that Lin Muyi told him on the way.

After listening to this, An Yi closed his eyes, leaned on the round table behind him, and let out a heavy breath, muttering in his mouth: "I knew, I knew, I should have thought of it a long time ago." ”

"This ...... Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? Gao Ciyi has been kept in the dark,

Jiang Shang on the side gently patted An Yi's shoulder, and then explained to Gao Ciyi: "The situation in Lanzhou City is critical, and the defense line of Shaanxi soldiers and horses in the city can no longer be supported. The old general Liao Ying said that this was the boundary of Shaanxi, and they should set an example, so they independently took the east gate and the north gate, and their generals took them to make a feint. The one who caught the lot just now is the third place on our side to feint. ”

"That Lin Muzhi ....... All lied to me? After hearing this, Gao Ciyi's face was also blue and white, and her heart was also full of mixed feelings for a while, and there was always a sense of guilt in her heart for no reason, as if she was holding a trace of luck, and then turned to ask Jiang Shang: "General Jiang, what is it...... Is there no way to withdraw it? ”

Jiang Shang shook his head, "Impossible, if they can withdraw safely, it means that the Liao people are not many troops pinned down, then we won't be able to get out?" ”

Jiang Shang is a battle-hardened veteran, he knows the feeling in Gao Ciyi's heart as if he has betrayed his friend, and comforts him with kind words: "Don't think about it too much, these are all Lin Muzhi's own decisions, even if there is no you, Lin Muzhi will definitely think of other ways." ”

"Alas, I knew that when I discussed the tactics before, he privately asked me if I remembered that he owed me a life, I was very upset, and I didn't care at all, but I didn't expect him to think about it at that time."

The life and death of a beloved is unknown, and the life and death of friends and brothers are nine deaths, and no one is comfortable with this taste.

"Uncle, some words sound ruthless, but Jiang Shang should still tell you, no matter who we are here, whenever this kind of thing happens, there will be sacrifices, there is no way, because this is war."

Compared with comfort, Jiang Shangcai is really a person who has already dried up his tears for the sake of Paoze, when he killed all the way from Shanhaiguan to Shenyang, killed Hetuala, and then killed under the city of Jianzhou, I really don't know how many brothers around him who were still drinking and singing last night are already cold corpses today.

After listening to Jiang Shang's words, An Yi also nodded heavily, let out a soft breath in his mouth, cleaned up his slightly depressed face, and stood up straight again with his body leaning on the round table,

"You're right, this is war."

Then he smiled embarrassedly at Gao Ciyi, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was a little angry just now." ”

Gao Ciyi didn't have anything to care about, he knew that An Yi hadn't encountered a good thing since he entered Lanzhou City this time, and he patted his arm with relief, "I don't have to do anything, but you, you have to cheer up, there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses in this Lanzhou City waiting for you to take them to escape." ”

An Yi smiled bitterly on his face, the corners of his mouth reluctantly went up, and he spit out the word "good" without hesitation, and then beckoned all the generals around him to come over, and began to command: "Now taking advantage of the night, General Liao's side must have sent out all the men and horses who feintmed to attack, and we can't delay here, I think the defense line in Shaanxi has basically been breached, and we must stop it again." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and brought the tea on the table, dipped his fingers in the tea, drew a rough sketch on the wooden table, and then said to Jiang Yun: "General Jiang, you are still adding a thousand foot soldiers with the firearms battalion, and pull out a defensive line on the side of Nancheng, no matter how fierce the Liao people's offensive is, even if you fill it with people, you will also block the Liao people until dawn for me." If you are defeated, the little 100,000 people behind you will be all explained. ”

"Understood!"

An Yi then knocked on the table in front of Jiang Shang, "General Jiang, you and Liao Ying together, with all the soldiers and horses in Shu and Shaanxi that have been withdrawn, fully cooperate with Zhao Lingfeng, and open the south gate, I will only give you a stick of incense time, after breaking through the south gate, you don't care, and Liao Ying and all the horses go straight to Tongguan, don't stop in the middle, and it is safe to enter the pass." ”

"Good!"

"Zhao Shuang."

"Uncle commands."

"You take the rest of the light cavalry with Meng Qi and Ah Yi and the two of them, take my family and follow Jiang Shang and their army out of the city together, and don't go back to Tongguan."

"Yes!"

"Good!"

An Yi slapped his hands on the small wooden table, "Everyone, go and do it separately." ”

As the generals rushed out one after another, An Yi left Gao Ciyi, who was walking at the back,

"Ciyi."

"What's wrong?"

An Yi followed the first two steps and lowered his voice and instructed him: "After you get out of Lanzhou, go to Jin Mingyin as soon as possible, he should be on the stone bridge outside the south gate of Lanzhou, you tell him, as long as the sun rises, don't look at who crosses the river or not, all the bridge will be broken, only look at the time and not people, even if I haven't passed, the bridge has to be broken for me!" ”

"That's ......"

An Yi waved his hand at him, "If nothing happens, we should all be able to pass, and at worst, we can let the people and horses of Shu and Shaanxi led by Jiang Shang and Liao Ying pass through, and if they are saved, the Liao people will not be able to enter Tongguan." ”

After giving him the order, An Yi turned his head, looked at the small round table with a dazzled look, sighed lightly, and muttered to himself: "Jiang Shang is right, this is war." ”
