The autumn days are nearly an hour shorter than the summer days.

At around noon, Tian Ye personally led more than 15,000 people to the Chu army fifty miles away.

According to the speed of the march, it was almost night.

However, as Tian Ye's cousin, Tian Wen did not choose to go together. On the contrary, not long after the field left, he left the city with a few retinues.

"Rustle"

At night, in a hill in the south of Lu County, the sound of a whole branch and leaf sounded.

"Childe!"

A man who looked like a school captain suppressed his voice and bowed respectfully to Tian Wen.

"Have all the Chu troops passed?" Deep in the mountains, Tian Wen sat on a piece of bluestone and asked somewhat casually.

"It's all in the past. That's 20,000 people! The lieutenant's voice was complicated, a little excited, but also a little afraid.

"Twenty thousand ......" Tian Wen nodded and said softly.

Xia Huan's 40,000 people, if they really want to transport food back, the best time to attack is definitely not now. but when they returned with food.

This time, he made no mistake. The 10,000 Chu army was really a decoy.

Of course, in fact, whether these 10,000 people are bait or not, according to Kuaimu's plan, they should not be able to hold out.

Moreover, what Tian Wen did not tell Tian Ye was that it was Emperor Qi's personal order to burn the grain.

If Tian Ye had learned of this order, I am afraid that with his temperament, he would have only been able to hold on.

In that case, it will naturally be advantageous for Qi Guo. But for him Tian Wen, it seems a little insignificant.

Without dazzling credit, everything is in vain.

Even, the two generals who took the initiative to suggest, in fact, were already angry with him.

Even if he is pursued in the future, he has a scapegoat.

In the depths of a hill, there are four thousand soldiers of the Qi Kingdom hidden densely. And this captain was once a pawn in the army arranged by his Tian family.

These 4,000 people just watched quietly as Xia Huan took 20,000 people and quietly slipped away from under their noses.

……

In the early morning of the next day, at the dawn of the day, 20,000 dense Chu troops, holding high banners, appeared neatly under the southern city of Lu County.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! Hurry up and close the gates. ”

At this moment, the entire southern city has become a mess.

An army of 20,000 gathered outside the southern city. Just wait for an order, and you will fight to the death.

In the center of the army, Xia Huan, under the protection of the two thousand Changxiu troops, looked at the ancient city in front of him with blazing eyes.

As long as you take it, then everything you have put in before can be rewarded.

After a morning, the Chu army quickly built some simple siege equipment and stood quietly outside the city walls.

"Childe, Chu Jun seems to be waiting for something." On a hidden hillside, Tian Wen took a captain of 4,000 people, silently observing the movements of the Chu army.

"They are waiting for news of the defeat in the west." Tian Wen's voice still did not contain a trace of emotion.

The lieutenant nodded, but said nothing.

"Childe, look at it this way, if the news of the defeat of the field comes back, I'm afraid this Lu County will not be able to hold it for half a day. Aren't we shooting ourselves in the foot? ”

"No, it won't." Tian Wen shook his head with certainty, "I know the deputy general left behind in the field, and he can be regarded as a general." With his power, and with the people of the city, there was no problem in keeping the day. ”

"What does Childe mean that the city will be destroyed when the Chu army reinforcements arrive?"

Tian Wen nodded, pointed to a big flag flying high in the distance and said, "That must be the great commander of the Chu army." Now the troops in the city should be almost concentrated in the south of the city. If the commander of the Chu army is smart enough, he will use himself as a cover to attack on his back. When the army from the west arrives, even if there is no decent siege equipment, it can easily take the western city. ”

The lieutenant nodded, not asking how to achieve their goal.

Soon, a fast horse galloped from the west.

"Your Highness, General Huang has won a great victory, and with the reinforcements that arrived later, he has wiped out more than 10,000 Qi soldiers. This is the commander of the Qi country! ”

Zhou Yu excitedly brought a bloody human head in front of Xia Huan.

Looking at the human head that was still wide-eyed, Xia Huan frowned inadvertently.

"Command the head to be shown to the people of the city."

Although he was a little disgusted, Xia Huan still didn't plan to let go of the field that had already died.

"Whoa!" Zhou Yu arched his hand, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

Thirty years of military service has made him accustomed to all this.

Moreover, whether it is Taizu or the current Chu Emperor, they are all rolled out of a pool of blood. Naturally, Zhou Yu also subconsciously classified Xia Huan with them.

The head of the person who has not yet looked at it is a great shock to the people on the city wall, who are pressed by the black.

General Tian was defeated? Dead? Fifteen thousand people, have they gone and have not returned?

A series of doubts gradually turned into fear, permeating everyone's hearts.

"Whoosh!"

With a piercing sound of a flying arrow, the cavalry carrying the human head and the head of the man were nailed into a string.

Whether it was the Qi side on the city wall or the Chu army below, they were all stunned.

"This is not General Tian, but the Chu people's chaotic plan, everyone must not be fooled!"

A man with a rough face, holding a heavy bow in his hand, shouted at the top of his voice.

"That's right! This is not General Tian, I know General Tian, this is definitely not him! ”

Soon, some clever people immediately shouted in the same way.

The hearts of the people, which were already in some turmoil, gradually recovered a little by then.

Xia Huan frowned, obviously he didn't expect that there would be such a person in Lu County, who had already exhausted his main force.

The previous arrow alone was a hundred paces away from the wall.

Although it is possible to shoot farther from a high position, it is a cavalry on horseback, not a target standing still.

"Your Highness, do you want to attack the city?" Looking at the city wall where people's hearts were gradually recovering, Zhou Yu looked at Xia Huan and asked.

Xia Huan shook his head and said, "No." Originally, it was just a small skill of carving insects, and if it failed, it failed. Wait until General Huang will have a large army five miles away from here, and then start the war. ”

The Qi general on the city wall obviously has some ability.

It's just that he uses a lie to cover up the truth, and when the paper can't contain the fire, then the effect will be multiplied at that time.

After a cup of tea, there was a sound of swearing coming from the city wall.

Without even thinking about it, you know that this should be the "cunning" and "scheming" of the Qi people cursing the Chu people.

And Xia Huan ignored the anger that was about to erupt in the eyes of the soldiers of the Chu army, and still waited quietly.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Now spend all your morale on shouting and scolding, and when the war starts and you see blood, more than half of the ordinary people's morale will suddenly drop by half.

Wait for the news of the defeat of the Qi army to come, then they will definitely hide their faces and flee.

"Rustle"

A small but frequent footsteps sounded on the back of a small hill.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and the yellow finch does not know that people are behind it.

Nearly 400 years ago, a young boy quelled the war in Wu because of these words.

And today, the praying mantis, the yellow finch, who plays what role?
