The city was eerily quiet, there was no attack, no reconnaissance, no messengers, and the two stalemate armies seemed to have completely forgotten that there were nearly 40,000 soldiers outside the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As time went by little by little, the scouts in front of him saw the frequent movement of troops in the city on the tower, Han Ruzi became more and more restless after hearing the news, and shortly after noon, Cui Teng brought the exact news.

Cui Ergongzi ran back from the city, didn't even wear armor, rushed into the tent and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, run, it has spread all over the city, the Southern Army and the Su Guards are going to cooperate to attack, just tomorrow morning, it's still too late to run." ”

He stood at the door, holding a horsewhip in one hand and beckoning to Han Ruzi with the other, with a sweaty and urgent face.

"Mrs. Cui is willing to let you out of the city?" Han Ruzi asked.

"Father didn't have time to care about me, he was so anxious now, just thinking about how to defeat Shangguan Sheng and you, and he didn't care about family affection at all. Brother-in-law, you shouldn't stay here, my father will definitely kill you this time. ”

"Didn't he really come when he sent out three assassins?" Han Ruzi smiled, once he knew the other party's plan, he was not so nervous.

"The assassins are easy to deal with, the Southern Army and the Su Guards join forces, you can't beat them." Cui Teng was not polite at all, "Don't wait here to die, let's go find the Northern Army." ”

Han Ruzi thought for a while and shook his head, "I can't go." ”

"Why? Anyway, there are 100,000 northern troops to fight again. Cui Teng said in surprise.

Of course, Han Ruzi can't go, because of his existence, the two armies in the city don't dare to act rashly, as soon as he leaves, the southern army and the Su Guard army will inevitably start a big war, the winner is the emperor, occupy the entire capital and the imperial court, a decree is transmitted, even if there is no treasure seal, it can command the world.

Once the general situation has been decided, no one can predict whether the Northern Army will fight for him or not, even if the Northern Army is completely loyal to him, it will be a tough battle next, and it will be an unjust war, and the number of people who support him will only become fewer and fewer.

"Because...... I'm too timid to walk away. Han Ruzi simplified the reason to such a sentence.

Cui Teng put down the horsewhip and nodded seriously, "That's right, I admire your courage, what should I do?" Or...... Let's just lead the army into the city, everyone fights randomly, and wins with courage, even if we die, we can stay forever. ”

Cui Teng's eyes lit up, and he really felt that this was a good idea.

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "If we die, we will not leave a legacy for eternity, but will only stint for 10,000 years, and we are considered fools who do not measure our own strength." ”

"I don't care when I'm a fool, I stink for 10,000 years...... It's a little unbeautiful, brother-in-law, what do you say? ”

Han Ruzi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about it, there was really no one available around him, and his cronies were either far away in the Northern Army or trapped in the city.

"Would you really like to help me?"

"Of course."

"If I win, Mrs. Cui and the King of the East China Sea are both sinners."

Cui Teng was stunned for a moment, he had never thought carefully about what happened after the war, he pondered for a long time, and said, "Will you kill my father and the king of the East China Sea?" ”

"As long as they are willing to surrender, I will be magnanimous." Han Ruzi said.

Cui Teng grinned and said: "That's it, if my father and the King of the East China Sea win, they will definitely kill you, and if you win, you won't kill them, so I will help you, such a family is still a family." ”

Han Ruzi couldn't bear to lie to him, but in this war, the most useless thing is to tell the truth.

"I want you to lead the five hundred Northern Army to set off immediately, go to meet the main force of the Northern Army, and return tomorrow morning."

"Is the Northern Army so close?" Cui Teng was overjoyed.

Han Ruzi snorted, for Cui Teng, the more he explained, the more confused he became, so Han Ruzi simply gave an order, picked up a pen and paper, wrote a short message, put it in the letter, and sealed it with wax oil, "Take this letter and open it in Baiqiao Town, remember, it must be in Baiqiao Town, not sooner or later." ”

"Tricks?" Cui Teng's voice trembled with excitement, he ran in a few steps, carefully picked up the letter, carefully put it in his arms, and gently stroked it through his clothes, "What is written in the letter...... I don't ask, Whitebridge, remember. I'll set off now, and I'll be able to get to Baiqiao Town at night, pick up the main force of the Northern Army, and then return, and tomorrow morning -- the time may be a little tight. ”

"It's fine as soon as possible, but you have to get to Baiqiao Town."

"Understood."

Han Ruzi called the generals of the Northern Army and asked them to immediately send 500 soldiers to follow Cui Teng to Baiqiao Town, and give more horses, two per person, to ensure that the horses continued to advance.

In less than half an hour, Cui Teng led the troops to set off, he was simple-minded, he didn't ask much, he was busy for a while, he thought that the main force of the Northern Army was not far from the capital, his emotions infected many people, and when the five hundred sergeants left the camp and went north, the soldiers in the entire camp thought that the Northern Army would arrive tomorrow morning.

In fact, there is no news about the main force of the Northern Army, and Han Ruzi's letter to Cui Teng is to ask him to bring back a batch of Northern Army flags in Baiqiao Town to bluff.

The Northern Army led by Cai Xinghai had a camp outside Baiqiao Town, and when they left in a hurry, many things were left in the camp, including some flags.

Han Ruzi really had no recruits to use, and there were no reinforcements, so he had to create a support army, hoping to scare the two armies in the city tomorrow morning and buy himself a little more time.

This trick was indeed very effective for the southern army outside the city, regardless of whether the time was reasonable or not, they thought that they would be ready many days ago, and the northern army had already been on the road.

Han Ruzi summoned the generals of the Southern Army, did not conceal the impending danger, and even claimed that the attack in the city was likely to be advanced, but did not say a word about the "Northern Army" that Cui Teng went to meet him, and let the generals guess for themselves, and also left some room for themselves - if the main force of the Northern Army did not show up tomorrow, no one could say that he was lying.

"In this battle tomorrow morning, holding the camp is victory." Han Ruzi deliberately vaguely said, "But our terrain is not good, what do you think?" ”

The generals of the Southern Army all looked forward to receiving a heavy reward after the war, and thought that the Northern Army would arrive tomorrow, so they rushed to come up with ideas.

"It's better to retreat some distance, there is a high ground ten miles away, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"There is only one night, and it is too late to set up camp, and if we retreat, there will be more room for the two armies in the city to move, and it will be more conducive to them joining forces. In case they come out to chase when we retreat, this battle will be even more difficult to fight. ”

"Then tear down the nearby houses, and build a low wall in time, which can be more or less blocked for a while."

"Then we have to mention the fire attack."

"It's better to attack instead of defending."

"The opposite side is the city wall, we don't even have a ladder, where to attack?"

"How long are we going to have to hold out? An hour? Quite a while? Or a whole day? ”

……

There were different opinions, and in the end, all the generals looked at the tired marquis, and when he made a decision, Han Ruzi listened carefully to everyone's opinions, and thought of an idea, Cui Teng had also put it forward, and was vetoed by him, but now that he thinks about it, it makes a little sense, "Replace ......defense with offense"

"The capital is heavily guarded, our army lacks equipment, and attacking the city is self-defeating." A general reminded again.

Han Ruzi didn't think about attacking the city, "Do you think that the southern army and the Su guard army in the city will work together?" ”

The generals looked at each other, and one of them spoke: "That's impossible, not to mention that the two armies are each their own master, and they are competing for the throne, even in peacetime, our southern army also looks down on the Su Guards, they are all showy, worse than the northern army." ”

The generals laughed, remembering that the tired marquis was the great Sima of the Northern Army, and hurriedly stopped laughing.

Han Ruzi didn't care, he also smiled, and then said: "In this way, the combination of the Southern Army and the Su Guard Army in the city is just an expedient measure. ”

The generals did not speak, this is an obvious fact, and there is no need to answer.

"Since it's an expedient measure, why can't we join forces with the southern army in the city to attack the Su Guard? Everyone is a southern army and belongs to the same lineage. ”

The generals looked at each other, no one was stupid, they all knew that the tired marquis had the intention of being the emperor, but the main force of the northern army had not arrived, and he refused to publicly admit that everyone supported the tired marquis, but it was also for the sake of being able to support the marquis in the future, but because of this, it was impossible for Cui Taifu to unite with the tired marquis.

"Who's going to talk? Will Cui Dasima and the King of the East Sea agree? One of the generals asked.

"No need to talk about it, just convince the Su Guards that there is such a union."

Some generals understood the strategy of the tired marquis, and others were still inexplicable, Han Ruzi said: "I want to launch an attack before the army in the city attacks, and go straight to the north gate, once the Su Guards are suspicious, it is likely to be closed, the Su Guards will not move, and the southern army in the city will probably not move." ”

Everyone understood, at first thought that this plan was a bit abrupt, but when I thought about it, it was likely to succeed, the three armies were suspicious of each other, and any slight change could be magnified.

The generals began to praise this as a clever plan, Han Ruzi gave the credit to the general who proposed to "attack instead of defending", and then handed over the specific arrangements to the generals to deal with, the timing of this attack is very important, it must be just right, not too early, not too late, and it must be withdrawn in time to avoid heavy losses.

Although there were nearly 40,000 soldiers in the battalion, they came in a hurry, except for the armor and food and grass they carried, almost everything was lacking, and the generals and officers worked hard to arrange, and in the end they could only gather 5,000 men and horses to attack, but fortunately, this was not a winning battle, 5,000 men were enough.

Everything is ready, it is the second watch, 5,000 soldiers can get on their horses and rush out of the camp to the capital, and the other soldiers are ready to defend the camp, to move the antler fence on the road in time, and to swing back in time, a false charge, affecting the entire camp.

Han Ruzi had no choice but to wait, as for what to do after tomorrow, he had to take one step at a time.

It was a sneaky night.

At about the same moment, several masters under Hua Bin sneaked into the palace by water, their task was very simple and arduous, to seize the key, open a palace gate, and let the Tan family's team and the southern army enter the palace.

Shangguan Sheng arranged for the Su guards to deliberately relax their guards, intending to lure the snake out of the hole and find the lost treasure seal.

In the neglected Nancheng, Cai Xinghai has already joined up with Loach and the others to start a fierce battle with the Tan family who are watching them, and to find a way to rescue those supporters of the tired Hou who are controlled by the Southern Army.

Everyone has confidence in their plans. (To be continued.) )
