Hu Zongmao was really angry. (The fastest update speed, remember this site to find this site)

In his expectation, Chu Huan's 20,000 army has limited grain and grass, which is absolutely unaffordable, although the grain and grass in Hezhou City are also very tight, and many people in the city are already hungry, but Hu Zongmao can still ensure that the soldiers defending the city can fill their stomachs, Chu Huan can't afford it, so he must hurry up and capture Hezhou City, the longer it takes, the less good it will be for Chu Huan.

Chu Huan should be desperate to attack the city, and on his side, he should use eighteen means to show his means of defending the city one by one, and in the end Chu Huan had no choice but to retreat in embarrassment, and he Hu Zongmao, since then, has been famous all over the world, and has become a famous general in the northwest.

But things are obviously not going according to his script design.

In addition to launching a fierce offensive on the first day, the Chu army did not launch a real decent attack in the next three days, but every day the war drums in the Chu army's formation had to be sounded more than a dozen times.

When the soldiers defending the city are accustomed to the cold sound of the drums, the Chu army appears from time to time, sometimes it is a combination of shield soldiers and archers, sometimes the cavalry is in front, and the infantry follows behind, although the soldiers defending the city are tired, but they can't watch the Chu army attack and ignore it.

Many soldiers even felt that they didn't have to pay attention to the attack of the Chu army anymore, and several attacks were all turned back halfway, obviously harassing, but the rebels also understood that even if the other party kept feinting, there could not be the slightest sloppiness in defending the city, let alone the slightest slackness, who could guarantee that the Chu army would suddenly launch a large-scale attack at a certain time, and if the preparation was insufficient, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hu Zongmao had long seen that the other party was a plan to spare the soldiers, but he was helpless, he was the defender of the city, the Chu army was the besieger, the initiative was over there, Chu Huan would attack whenever he wanted, and on the side of the city, this could follow the other party's path, which made Hu Zongmao very annoyed.

The last bronze drum of the Chu army was in the middle of the night on the third day, what surprised the soldiers defending the city was that they thought that the drums would appear again in the second half of the night, but until the next morning, the drums could no longer be heard, and the soldiers defending the city were amazed, and many people didn't even dare to sleep in the second half of the night, so they sat and waited for the other party's drums, but obviously the Chu army disappointed them.

The drumbeat that he was accustomed to suddenly disappeared, which made Hu Zongmao also very surprised, summoned the generals, guessed what the other party wanted, and the generals couldn't guess Chu Huan's mind for a while, and it took a long time before an adjutant general said cautiously: "General, is it possible, is it ...... Is it that Chu Jun is also tired and has no energy? ”

Hu Zongmao raised his eyebrows and immediately asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Seeing that Hu Zongmao's face was not ugly, the deputy general suddenly had a bottom and said: "General, for several days in a row, the Chu army has more than a dozen drums a day, and there are soldiers and horses out of battle every day, it seems that it is harassing us, but it is ......!" After a pause, he saw that everyone around him was looking at him, and he immediately straightened his chest and said, "But the last general thought that when they harassed us, he was also burdened by it. ”

"Not bad." Immediately, an adjutant general followed: "The Chu army is beating drums day and night, arguing with us, can the soldiers of the Chu army rest in peace?" The last general will not believe that they will be able to rest in peace. ”

The deputy general in front was afraid that others would steal the limelight, so he immediately grabbed the conversation, "General, not only the drums, let's think about it again, we are in the city, now it is the sixth constant, the wind and sand are very large, and in the city, they can also resist the wind and sand, but the Chu army is in the wind and sand, and they have to suffer from the wind and sand day and night, and not everyone can adapt to the climate of our Yuezhou, especially when the six constants, this kind of weather is difficult for people elsewhere to adapt, if our Xunzi battalion has not been stationed in Hezhou for a period of time, It may not be able to adapt to it...... Therefore, the last general felt that the Chu army must be exhausted at this time, and in a few days, they may not be able to attack again! ”

Hu Zongmao shook his head slightly and said, "I can't say that, they may really be affected by the weather, but ...... In a short period of time, he has no strength to fight again, which is also an exaggeration. ”

"General, it's better to send someone out of the city to investigate and see what the situation of the Chu army is now." The adjutant general suggested: "Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can we survive a hundred battles, and it will be of great benefit to us to figure out the current reality of the Chu army." ”

Hu Zongmao nodded and said, "It's a good idea, it's just ......!" After a pause, he said slowly: "The current guard of the Chu army must be very strict, and it is quite dangerous to want to explore the truth and ......!" He looked around and asked, "Do you have the right person?" ”

The generals looked at each other, and finally the adjutant who spoke said: "General, this matter will be handed over to the last general, and the last general will arrange for a trustworthy person to go and investigate, and he will definitely find out the situation of the Chu army." ”

Yuezhou's six permanent times are indeed different, in the early morning, the weather is not bad, the sun can even shine on the earth, but at noon ten minutes, the wind suddenly rises, the wind sand and stones, a few meters away, it is already impossible to see people.

Hu Zongmao waited until dusk, and finally waited for the news, and the deputy general who arranged for someone to go out to inquire about the news ran over with an excited face and said, "General, good news, great news." ”

Hu Zongmao's spirits were lifted, and he immediately got up and asked, "What good news?" ”

"Plague ......!" The lieutenant gasped, "It's the plague......!" ”

Hu Zongmao frowned, "What is the good news about the plague?" But he instantly understood, grabbed the lieutenant general's collar, and asked, "You mean, there is a plague on the Chu army's side?" ”

"Absolutely, yes." The adjutant general said excitedly: "The last general sent someone to secretly approach, taking advantage of the wind and sand, killed several soldiers of the Chu army patrolling, changed into clothes and approached to investigate, in the military camp of the Chu army, there was a sudden plague, and many people were already infected with the plague...... It was the kind of plague that spread everywhere last time that it was brought to the army of the Chu army, and the military camp of the Chu army had isolated those soldiers infected with the plague more than ten miles away from the barracks, and sent people to guard them strictly, prohibiting people from approaching the ......! ”

Hu Zongmao said with a smile: "Ben General understands, they are afraid that this news will spread, and they are even more afraid that the plague will continue to spread...... By the way, did the people sent see the quarantine area? ”

"I didn't get close to it, and the guards were very tight." The adjutant general explained: "But our people saw the patients sent from the barracks to the quarantine area, and in less than half an hour, more than 20 people had been sent from the barracks...... more than 20 people!" ”

Hu Zongmao clenched his fists and laughed, "God help me, hahahaha...... Vice General Yao, what else do you want to inquire about? ”

Deputy General Yao nodded and smiled: "There has been infighting in the camp of the Chu army, our people have heard with their own ears, there is a group of soldiers who are clamoring to withdraw the army, they say that our Hezhou City is impregnable, coupled with this weather, it is impossible to take it down, and some soldiers have even quietly discussed fleeing, hehe, general, no wonder the Chu army suddenly did not move, it turned out that there was a problem on their own side, and now the morale of the Chu army is extremely low, and the last general will see that they will not last long......!" ”

Hu Zongmao pondered, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Is it possible that they are playing tricks and deliberately confusing us?" ”

"General, the last will be vouched for by the head, and the spies sent are absolutely credible." Vice General Yao patted his chest and reassured: "Chu Huan's army is indeed in chaos at this time, and the last general is sure of this. ”

Hu Zongmao nodded slightly, and suddenly heard a voice next to him: "General, at this time, the Chu army was suddenly infected with the plague, it must be too coincidental, right?" ”

Hu Zongmao turned his head to look, and it was the secretary He Kui who spoke.

Vice General Yao originally felt that he had made a great contribution and was complacent, but He Kui suddenly interjected, which made Vice General Yao very unhappy, and sneered: "Secretary He, is it possible that the plague has broken out, and when is the most appropriate time to choose?" The plague in Xiguan, although it has been cured vigorously, but there is no guarantee that it has been eradicated, Chu Huan has nearly 20,000 horses, who can guarantee that there are no people infected with the plague in it, coupled with this very hot weather, the plague suddenly spread in the military camp, that is also a matter of course, and there seems to be nothing that makes sense. ”

He Kui said lightly: "Vice General Yao misunderstood, He only said that he thought the plague came too coincidentally, and did not say that Vice General Yao's news was fake." ”

Vice General Yao didn't look at He Kui either, and said to Hu Zongmao: "General, such a great opportunity, we must not miss it, the last general asks for orders, as long as the general allocates two thousand men and horses to me, the last general will take advantage of the night to sneak attack, go straight into the commander camp of the Chu army, and capture Chu Huan alive for you......!" ”

Before Hu Zongmao could speak, He Kui stopped again in a deep voice: "General, by all means." ”

Vice General Yao was furious and said angrily: "He Kui, what do you mean, why are you everywhere?" Don't you forget, you are just a little clerk, don't think that the general will give you a little face, and forget your identity, you are a poor scholar, what do you know about marching and fighting? If you miss a big thing, how many heads do you have enough to cut off? ”

He Kui did not back down, and said: "He Kui is indeed just a small person, but the soldiers are pressing, and the whole city of Hezhou must be united in order to repel the invading enemy, He Kui only has one head, and he can cut it down with a knife, but even if there is only this one head, what should be said is still to be said." Xiang Hu Zongmao said: "General, no matter whether there is a plague in the Chu army, and whether there is internal strife among them, as long as the general sticks to Hezhou City, the Chu army has no way." If it is really as Vice General Yao said, they have plague and internal strife, then in a few days, they will inevitably withdraw their troops, and the siege of Hezhou City will be lifted, but if the other party has ulterior motives, we will not move, and his tricks will be useless. ”

Vice General Yao still has to fight, but Hu Zongmao has already waved his hand and said: "Vice General Yao doesn't need to say much, He Kui is right, no matter what tricks they use, we will not move, Chu Huan will not be able to take us." He said in a deep voice: "The order goes down, without the general's order, the doors are closed, and no one can go out of the city one step, if anyone dares to disobey the general's order...... No mercy! ”

Vice General Yao clenched his fists and looked at He Kui, with a murderous intent looming in his eyes-
