As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the tower of the martial arts city, adding a bit of majestic atmosphere to the not tall martial arts city.

Under the martial arts city, Han Sui's army has already approached the city, probably because he is tired from marching all the way, Han Sui's army did not knock on the city to call the battle, but only set up camp at the north gate.

Han then sent Yan Xing to lead 3,000 elite cavalry to roam around the camp to guard, and the rest of the soldiers built a large army camp in an orderly manner under the command of their respective generals.

"Gongming, Han Sui's army came from afar, but their morale is still high, you look at the process of their construction of the village, it is so orderly, and there are cavalry wandering around the periphery, it is not easy to deal with!"

On the upper floor of Wugong North City, Xu Rong pointed to the area of Han Sui's camp under the city, and discussed with Xu Huang beside him with a serious face.

"That's not all! The place where Han Sui set up a village, although it is outside the range of our army's crossbowmen, is far from much, and we must beware of Han Sui's army attacking the city in the middle of the night! Xu Huang stared at the Han Sui military camp that Xu Rong's fingertips pointed at, and sighed.

"I'm afraid not." Xu Rong shook his head and said calmly: "In my opinion, Han Sui's entrenchment is probably his tired strategy, he just wants me to wait for strict defense, and consume too much physical strength of our soldiers, so that he can reduce some resistance when he really attacks the city." If our army increases its defense at night, I am afraid that it will fall into the hands of the old thief of Han Sui. ”

"But if we ignore it, I'm afraid Han Sui will really launch a night attack." Xu Huang can be praised by Cao Cao for having the style of Zhou Yafu, but he is not in vain, he has always been cautious and considers all aspects of the problem.

"This is a yang conspiracy, even if we see through it, it's useless, no matter how we deal with it, we will fall into the calculations of Han Sui's old thief." Xu Rong punched the city wall and said hatefully.

"The lord once said that Han Sui is an old fox, this is true!" Xu Huang's face was heavy and he sighed.

…………

At the same time, under the city of martial arts, Han Sui was in the camp of the Chinese army.

"The art of war is cloudy: one blow, then exhaustion, three and decline. Our army is galloping all the way, the morale is high, and the troops are in full swing, why not attack Wugong City directly in one go. General, you only need to allocate 10,000 soldiers and horses to the last general, and the last general will definitely capture the martial arts in one fell swoop within three hours, and then the army will spend the night directly in the city, so why set up camp and do this more? ”

At this time, Han Sui was in the big tent of the Chinese army. Ma Yu was standing in the tent, looking excited, and spit flying.

Han Sui was leaning on the prop, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his right hand, lying on his side on the main seat, reading carefully.

Hearing Ma To's unashamed shouting, Han Sui slowly raised his head, stared at Ma To, and said with a gloomy face: "Ten thousand soldiers and horses? I'll just give you all the soldiers and horses, I'm afraid you won't be able to defeat a martial arts city in three hours. ”

Han Sui's questioning words stimulated the horse play, and he couldn't help but raise his voice and argue to himself: "It's just a small city, the city is low and shallow, and there are only thousands of defenders, so why worry? Last time, if it weren't for Huangfu Song's rescue troops, even Hua Xiong, the first fierce general under Dong Zhuo, would have been killed by us, not to mention ......"

"Horse play, don't talk about it......" Zhang Heng saw that Ma Yu was getting more and more energetic, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ma Play, not letting him continue. Then he saluted Han Sui, whose face became more gloomy, and said: "General, he was too tired from marching all the way, contracted the wind cold, and was a little delirious, so he talked nonsense, and the last general took him down to rest, and asked the general to forgive him." ”

After speaking, he pulled the horse that he didn't know why and left the tent.

After getting out of the account, Ma Wan broke open and Zhang Heng took his hand, and yelled at Zhang Heng: "What are you stopping me for, why don't you let me finish?" ”

Zhang Hengdao: "You don't want to die, didn't you see General Han's face just now, if you continue to talk about it, he won't kill you." ”

"I said what's wrong, that's the truth, he doesn't dare to tear his face with Bian Zhang, so he can only bully me?"

Zhang Heng patiently persuaded: "Our army has made a big show all the way, and it will definitely not be able to hide the scouts of the enemy army, Dong Zhuo will definitely prepare in advance, I can't say that the number of soldiers and horses in the city has more than doubled at this moment, and if you rashly lead the troops to attack, you will inevitably lose your troops." What's more, how to attack the city, General Han must have his own arrangements, how can it be your turn to tell the fingers. ”

In addition to being out of the big tent, Ma Wan was blown by the cold wind of late spring, and he sobered up a lot, coupled with Zhang Heng's persuasion, he was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and pulled Zhang Heng to ask: "Then how is this good?" How good is that? ”

Zhang Heng comforted: "Don't worry, I have my own plans, let's go, let's go back first." ”

In the big tent, Han Sui's anger has not subsided, his mood is quite bad, and Bian Zhang gives him a look, and now even one of his subordinates has repeatedly pointed fingers at him.

Cheng Gongying persuaded: "The general doesn't have to be angry, horse play is also a meritorious service, it's just too impulsive." ”

Han Sui snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "I naturally know this, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out of this big tent." ”

…………

"In this case, the two of us have to think about it, otherwise something goes wrong, and you and I will be punished for a small matter, and it will be a big crime to break the lord."

Xu Rong watched the camp of Han Sui's army under the city be completed in an orderly and gradual manner, and his face was extremely heavy.

Xu Huang said: "The little brother has a plan, now there are 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, which can be divided into four waves to stand guard in turn, each wave of 2,500 people, of which 1,000 at the north gate, and 500 soldiers at each of the remaining three gates, every three hours, you and I take turns to be on duty at night." I wonder what Brother Gongsheng thinks? ”

"The lord once said that Gao Shun is good at attacking, and Xu Huang is good at defending." Suddenly, Xu Rong turned around, looked at Xu Huang, and said seriously: "Gongming, since the defensive battle is your forte, you will command this battle." ”

"How can this be done? The lord once made it clear that the matter of martial arts is dominated by Brother Gongsheng, how dare the younger brother make a mistake, Brother Gongsheng must not. Xu Huang was flattered and hurriedly excused himself.

"Gongming doesn't have to shirk, you and my brother, why are you so polite?"

Xu Huang saw that Xu Rong insisted, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to obey his fate, and said: "In this case, it is better for the younger brother to be respectful." ”

Xu Rong smiled: "That's right, why should you be so polite between you and my brothers." ”

"When this war is over and after returning to Hedong, I will tell my father and become brothers with Gongsheng, I don't know what Brother Gongsheng wants?"

Xu Huang and Xu Rong originally had a good relationship from the beginning because they had the same surname. Now they are in the same city, and they have been together for a long time, and each other has learned each other's temperament, martial arts and strategies, and has always regarded each other as confidants.

At this time, Xu Huang saw that Xu Rong had so generously handed over the command to himself, and he was very moved in his heart, and under the emotion and admiration of Xu Rong, he put forward the idea of settling the righteous.

"Hahaha!"

Xu Rong looked up to the sky and laughed, took Xu Huang's hand and said, "I can't ask for it!" ”

Xu Huang was overjoyed, and immediately took the gift of his brother, bowed to Xu Rong, and said: "If this is the case, the younger brother and the elder brother will be called brothers in the future!" Brother is above, please be worshiped by the younger brother! ”

"Virtuous brother doesn't have to be polite."

Xu Rong helped Xu Huang up, looked around, and couldn't help but regret it: "Such a big laugh should be revealed." It's a pity that now that the war is imminent, you and my brother have the heavy responsibility of defending the city, but we can't drink and miss the lord's important affairs, what a pity! ”

Xu Huang said: "Brother, why should I care, tomorrow the Han Sui army will attack the city, you and I will kill more enemy soldiers, and use their blood to sacrifice to God, showing the righteousness of you and my brother." ”

"Haha! From now on, you and my brothers will go into battle together to kill the enemy, charge into battle, make contributions together, and leave a name in history. You and I live and die together, with blessings and hardships. ”

Xu Huang also said: "I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year!" ”

Xu Rong quipped: "If this is the case, the brother has taken advantage of it, and he has lived a few years longer than the virtuous brother." ”

Xu Huang didn't care, and said quite generously: "You and I are brothers, why bother so much." ”

"Hahaha!"

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

The golden black fell in the west, and the jade rabbit rose in the east.

Time passed in a hurry, and with a flick of a finger, the time had passed. The Han Sui camp under the city has long been built, and Yan Xing, who was wandering outside the city, also collected his troops and returned to the camp, Xu Rong and Xu Huang, the two newly married brothers, seemed to have forgotten all this, ignored other things, and held the night talk for three hours.

Since ancient times, there is no banquet without wine, but at this moment, brothers intersect, although there is no wine, they can make tea in the city, sit and discuss, and there is no regret!

"Brother, the younger brother will be on duty tonight, it's not early, you go home early to rest, there is still a big battle waiting for you and my brother tomorrow!"

Xu Huang looked up at the sky, Haoyue was in the sky, and knew that the time was not early, so he persuaded Xu Rong to go back to his house to rest.

"Hah! Brother Xian's words are wrong! Now that you and my brother are righteous, saying that they are blessed and enjoy hardships together, how can the foolish brother let the virtuous brother be on duty on a moonlit night and go to find Zhou Gong by himself? Tonight, the foolish brother will stand guard, and the virtuous brother will go back to the house to rest. ”

"Brother......

Xu Huang wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Xu Rong. "Brother Xian doesn't need to say any more, as far as affection is concerned, since I am the elder brother, naturally everything comes first; Logically, the virtuous brother is good at defending the city, and tomorrow's battle is imminent, so he should go back to rest and recuperate, so that he can command the army to defend the city tomorrow. It is reasonable to be reasonable, the virtuous brothers should rest today, and it is only right that the brothers are on duty. ”

Seeing that Xu Huang wanted to say more, Xu Rong deliberately said with a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "Why, you and my brother have just been married, but the virtuous brother doesn't listen to the arrangement for the brother, don't you want to think of the brother?" ”

"Brother misunderstood, how dare the younger brother disown the brother!"

Xu Huang had no choice but to obey Xu Rong's arrangement, and bowed to Xu Rong: "In this case, the junior brother obeys his fate, and everything is Brother Lao." ”

"This is my good brother, brother Xian, go quickly, I won't send you for my brother." Xu Rong immediately smiled, and his face changed so fast that few people could match it.

"Foolish brother farewell!"

Xu Huang saluted Xu Rong, turned around and strode away, and went down the city tower.

On the city tower, after Xu Rong saw Xu Huang leave, he turned to look outside the city, and looked at the brightly lit Han Sui military camp with deep eyes, and was silent for a long time.
