Chapter 198: Truth--Deception (Fourth Watch)

A day later, Wang Huaqiang stood beside Huangfu Ji at the head of the city, and looked coldly at Gu Ziyuan's army under the city, Gu Ziyuan didn't bring many people today, only more than 2,000 people dragged behind, and more than 2,000 people did not line up, but drove two or three thousand cattle and sheep.

Gu Ziyuan changed into a leather armor today, and there was no tall Gu Zi Marshal Banner behind him, and a white background of the Gu Yu banner came out alone, which was the only banner of Gu Ziyuan's army outside the city today.

Wang Huaqiang sneered and said to Huang Fuji: "General, it seems that Gu Ziyuan's dog-headed military advisor has given him an idea again, which clearly shows that he wants to surrender by deception, and when he leads our army out of the city to accept their surrender, he will take the opportunity to attack again." ”

Huangfu Ji smiled: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, we won't fall for him, Wang joins the army, I won't see this Gu Ziyuan today, or you shout in the city." ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Just do what you said, general, the defense of the four cities still has to be strengthened, in case the enemy army attracts attention here and attacks from elsewhere." ”

After Huang Fuji walked down the city tower, Wang Huaqiang stood in the position of Huang Fu Ji yesterday, and shouted to Gu Ziyuan from a distance: "General Gu, don't come unharmed!" Are you going to continue to send us cattle and sheep today? ”

As soon as Gu Ziyuan saw the triumphant Wang Huaqiang in the city, both eyes were about to burst out of their sockets, but he thought about what Xu Deyan taught him yesterday, and he had a knife on his head, and now he must not show his flaws, after all, the fraud itself has to be lowered first.

So Gu Ziyuan laughed: "Wang joined the army, it's been a long time, may I ask where General Huangfu is." Can you see me? ”

Wang Huaqiang said coldly: "Gu Ziyuan." How can you see my Imperial General? Yesterday, General Huangfu's words were made very clear. You surrender as soon as possible, submit to my Great Sui Mandate, the emperor may be able to stand in the sky to have the virtue of a good life, be tolerant and forgiving, spare your life, or as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, the jade will be burned!"

Gu Ziyuan hated it in his heart, but he had a deferential expression on his face: "Don't hide from the king to join the army." Yesterday I went back and thought about it carefully, and what General Huangfu said was indeed reasonable, and we were so aroused by the momentary righteous indignation that we killed officials and rebelled, not only could we not fight a peaceful world, but on the contrary, the war in the south of the Yangtze River continued, the fields were barren, and the villages were empty, and this result was also something we did not expect.

General Huangfu is right, we can't even take a single city of Suzhou. How could it be possible to confront the iron army of the Great Sui and continue to fight. There is really only one way to die, yesterday the messenger of high wisdom also happened to arrive in the barracks, he took the opportunity to force me to attack the city, wanted to cut off my back road, I refused his proposal, he took the opportunity to incite some simple-minded guys in my camp to go with him, more than 20,000 people have gone with him to the east today to vote for high wisdom. ”

Wang Huaqiang laughed secretly in his heart, this Gu Ziyuan is really here to play fraud, as long as others are here, it is impossible for his army to go far, just so that he can make a plan, so Wang Huaqiang shouted: "In this case, General Gu, you have accepted the official position of high wisdom before, and you should be controlled by him, I think it is better to take your remaining tens of thousands of brothers and go to Gao Zhi together, he is now the emperor, and he should at least seal you a pillar country." ”

Gu Ziyuan said loudly: "Wang joins the army, you don't need to entertain me like this, I just know that no matter how stupid I am, if I really submit to the high wisdom of the puppet emperor, then there will be no chance to turn back, and if I go to him like this, I will only take away the military power for him, and it will be difficult to save my life. ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't expect Gu Ziyuan to say it so directly, no wonder he only brought 2,000 people out today, otherwise even if he surrendered by fraud, he said the word surrender so publicly, I was afraid that most of his subordinates would be scattered at once.

So Wang Huaqiang sneered: "General Gu, I remember that your brothers are not very good-tempered, they didn't even want to cooperate last time, if you want to say surrender, they are willing to stay?" ”

Gu Ziyuan pointed to the sky and said: "The king joins the army, I, Gu Ziyuan, can swear to the sky, if I lie, I will be thundered five times in the sky." While swearing, he sneered in his heart: Lao Tzu asked Liu Yuanjin and Mr. Xu to go to the east of the city, but not to take refuge in Gao Zhizhi, but to wait for your Sui dogs to go out of the city, and attack from the east, hmph, the terrain near Suzhou City is clear, and it is not a piece of cake to hide 20,000 people.

Wang Huaqiang pretended to think about it and said, "Gu Ziyuan, if you really want to surrender, do you just bring these two thousand people and drive some cattle and sheep over?" Where are the rest of your subordinates? ”

Gu Ziyuan smiled on his face: "Wang joins the army, don't you keep saying that you want to release goodwill and express sincerity first, I only brought these brothers here today, just to express sincerity, these cattle and sheep I will put them on the opposite side of the moat like last time, and you will take them, if General Huangfu agrees, I can lead my brothers tomorrow to come to this city to line up and surrender, lay down my arms, I don't know what Wang wants to do when he joins the army?" ”

Wang Huaqiang laughed and said: "General Gu, if you know the general situation and are willing to submit to the imperial court, whether it is General Huangfu or the emperor, you will definitely forgive your previous sins, but there is no basis for your words, you still have to look at the action, tomorrow at noon, you lead all the troops out of the camp and line up, just north of Suzhou City, roll up the flag, lay down your arms, and our General Huangfu will recognize your surrender." ”

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Gu Ziyuan's face: "This ,,, the king joined the army, and you are saying this here now, is it a military order from General Huangfu?" Will he admit it then? ”

Wang Huaqiang said sharply: "Gu Ziyuan, yesterday General Huangfu had already made his words clear in front of the officers and soldiers of the two armies, and he knew his way back early, and there was still a glimmer of life, you don't want to talk to us about any conditions, if we do it first, we will naturally keep our promises." Last time I said that if you were interested in cooperating, I would naturally find a way to let General Huangfu meet you in the city, and I didn't break my promise. ”

Gu Ziyuan secretly scolded Wang Huaqiang in his heart for being really shameless, he obviously didn't admit the things he had decided, but he was beaten up here, but he also knew that he couldn't collide with this person at all now, and while pondering a hundred ways to torture and kill this Wang Huaqiang after breaking the city, he said respectfully: "Wang joins the army, your words are the order of General Huangfu, I am naturally a hundred at ease, but if according to what you said, tomorrow our army will come to the outside of the city to line up and lay down its arms, will it be considered a surrender?" Don't you have to send heavenly soldiers to surrender? ”

Wang Huaqiang laughed secretly in his heart, the fox's tail was finally revealed, it was said that he wanted to trick himself out of the city, and then annihilate himself outside the city, but he went around so many tricks and bowels, and even used the deception, and he was tired and panicked for this Gu Ziyuan.

But Wang Huaqiang did not show such disdain on his face, he put on a smiling face: "If General Gu is sincere and obedient, General Huangfu will naturally welcome it, then we will make a decision, tomorrow at noon, all the soldiers of your department will line up in the north of the city, lay down their weapons, and then retreat to a mile away, and our army will go out of the city to collect." ”

Gu Ziyuan secretly rejoiced in his heart: Tomorrow, I will let Brother Shen Xue lead more than 10,000 people in the west of the city, plus the 20,000 people from Liu Yuan into the east of Xu Deyan, taking advantage of the defenselessness of the Sui army to go out of the city, and attack from both sides, I will definitely be able to wipe them all out under the city of Suzhou in one battle.

So Gu Ziyuan solemnly bowed his hand and said: "Obey the military order of the king to join the army, tomorrow at noon, Ziyuan will lead 50,000 soldiers to return to the imperial court here." ”

That night, Gu Ziyuan's Chinese military camp was brightly lit, and Gu Ziyuan quickly assigned orders to his subordinates, and the generals who got the orders took the orders one by one.

Xu Deyan just offered a plan, put the sticks and hoes used by the peasants in front, and the soldiers who handed over their weapons in the front row were mainly old, weak, sick and disabled, while Gu Ziyuan's real 15,000 elite soldiers of the Chinese army hid behind the formation, and after the Sui army left the city, they stepped forward to engage in the battle, and fought and retreated, with the horn as the order, the 30,000 ambush soldiers in the east and west of the city attacked at the same time, and they could win a complete victory.

Everyone knew about tomorrow's deployment, and when they left, they all looked happy, as if Suzhou City and the heads of the five thousand Sui army were in front of them.

In the end, only Xu Deyan and Gu Ziyuan were left in the tent, Gu Ziyuan glanced at Xu Deyan who was frowning: "Sir, there won't be any problems." (To be continued......)
