Chapter 536: Sowing Discord
The night is as dark as ink, and everything is silent.
The change broke out almost suddenly, more than a dozen tun commanders and teams led hundreds of Qi army armor soldiers to try to storm the southeast corner of the small gate where the small city of Linzi and the big city were connected, the Chu army naturally did not let it, and as a result, the two sides clashed, more than a dozen Qi army armor soldiers were shot, and the Chu army was also injured several, which led to a large-scale confrontation.
Zhao Xi was the first to hear the news and arrived, and at this time, the two sides were already tense.
"Nonsense, who made you gather here? Huh?! Zhao Xi tried to suppress the development of the situation, and when he lowered his face to reprimand the dozen Simas, military marquis and tun chiefs who provoked the head, at this time, the situation had expanded, in addition to the tun commander and team rate, several Sima and military marquis were also involved.
"General, Chu Guoyan is not a thing!" Immediately, the chief of the guard pleaded out.
The voice fell, and another team leader continued to roar: "That's it, these damn Chu Guoyans are one thing in front of them and one thing behind their backs, they are two-headed snakes and two-faced rapists, it's not a good thing." ”
Some people take the lead, some people echo it, and thousands of soldiers are in turmoil.
Although Zhao Xi had prestige in the army, he didn't dare to provoke the anger of the people, and asked at the moment: "What's going on?" ”
One of Sima said calmly: "General, in order to raise military rations, the Chu Guoyan sent more than a dozen squads, you say raise food, just raise food, although our Qi country is poor, but three or five hundred stone of grain can still be taken out, but they shouldn't kill people, and even the old man and children don't let go, is this still a fucking human?" ”
"Beasts, beasts!" Thousands of soldiers are in a crowd again.
"What, killing?!" Zhao Xi said in disbelief, "How can this be? ”
The Chu army crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains to attack Linzi, and the army only carried half a month's military rations, which had almost been eaten a few days ago, and this Zhao Xi knew. Zhao Xi also wanted to take some military rations to Zhou Ji Chu's army. However, there is really no extra food in the treasury, and the military food in the barracks has not been eaten, so the Chu army does not mention it. He didn't mention it.
But he never thought that the Chu army would dare to kill people in order to raise military rations. Is this possible?
"General, there must be a misunderstanding here." Lou Jing, who was sweating profusely, squeezed in, panting and said, "The military discipline of the Chu army has always been strict, and it will never do such a thing as killing people and stealing food." ”
"Misunderstanding?" Sima shouted, "This matter was seen by the last general with his own eyes, can it be fake?" ”
"Yes, we have all seen the Chu army kill people, you don't know. They killed all the men, women, and children of the whole village, and they were not people, they were really not people. Sima's voice fell. Immediately, dozens of Qi soldiers echoed each other. When the rest of the nearly 1,000 soldiers heard this, their expressions suddenly became more and more excited.
Then Sima drew his sword again. yelled at the small city: "If the Chu Guoyan didn't kill anyone, why did he close the city gate?" They don't dare to come out and explain, they are thieves! ”
"That's right, Chu Guoyan is a thief!"
"Brothers, go into the city and kill all the Chu Guoyan!"
"Kill, kill, avenge the dead folks, take revenge!"
As soon as someone instigated, nearly a thousand Qi Jia suddenly became more and more turbulent.

The northern suburbs of Linzi, on a hill.
Zhao Jiang Bai Yan looked in the direction of Lincheng and asked Zhou Yafu, "Can this be done?" ”
Zhou Yafu shook his head slightly, and said indifferently: "As the saying goes, it is up to people to make things happen, and success is in heaven, before things have no results, who dares to assert that they will be able to succeed?" After a slight pause, Zhou Yafu said, "The only thing we need to do is to do our best to realize our intentions, that's all." ”
Han Ju's face on the other side changed slightly: "In other words, the general is not sure enough?" ”
"If I say I'm 100% sure, will you believe it?" Zhou Yafu smiled and said, "But don't worry, the Chu army and the Qi army are far from trusting at this time, as long as there is suspicion between them, then there may be a dirty situation at any time, what we are doing now is to throw a little spark between them." ”…,
##########
Linzi small city, the city gate Yongdao.
"Prince, you can't go out!"
"It's just, it's too dangerous to go out now!"
"Or the last general will go out to negotiate with the Qi army, right?"
The three Simas were struggling to persuade Xiang Zheng, hoping that he would change his mind.
"You don't have to worry, nothing will happen to this prince." Xiang Zheng smiled, then turned his head to look at the guards at the gate, his tone was calm but with unquestionable perseverance, and said, "Open the city gate." ”
##########
Outside the city gate, Lou Jingzheng persuaded him with all kinds of good words.
But it was simply futile, and the agitated soldiers didn't believe him at all.
"If it's really a misunderstanding, why don't you see the Chu Guoyan come out to explain? What about their crown prince? ”
"That's it, that is, if they didn't do something wrong, why did they hide and be a shrunken turtle?"
When the crowd was raging here, the southeast corner gate of Linzi Town suddenly opened slowly in a creaking sound, and then a clear voice came out from the city gate: "Who said that our Chu army has done something wrong?" Who said that our Chu army would not dare to come out to meet people? Isn't this the prince coming out? ”
Everyone turned their heads in unison, and a tall and straight figure had already stepped out of the city gate, but seeing that Xuan's clothes were fluttering and his bearing was extraordinary, who else would come if it wasn't Prince Xiang Zheng of Chu?
"Kill him, he's the culprit!"
"Yes, kill him, and you will pay for your life!"
"Brothers, what are you still doing, come on!"
Several tun commanders and team leaders suddenly shouted, and the crowd suddenly became commotionous.
Zhao Xi saw that the situation was not right, and immediately drew his sword to block Xiang Zheng, and shouted: "Whoever dares to act without permission will be killed immediately!" ”
More than 100 soldiers who came with Zhao Xi also rushed forward, and used their shields to build a strong shield wall in front of Zhao Xi and Xiang Zheng, blocking more than a dozen Qi army armor soldiers who were about to move in an instant.
After suppressing the commotion of the Qi army, Zhao Xicai said coldly: "Whether the Chu army has killed anyone, you should always ask clearly, right?" If they did kill someone, could it be that a few words of justification would change the facts? ”
"The facts are there, so why talk nonsense with him?" There was yelling from the crowd.
"Who? Who was talking just now? Zhao Xi shouted, "Get out of here for General Ben!" ”
Zhao Xi is not a stunned young man, let alone an idiot, he will never be easily led by the nose. The matter of the Chu army killing people and stealing grain has doubts when they see it. Zhao Xi just couldn't figure out who was making trouble for a while, could it be that Han Qi was unwilling to abdicate his position, so he found someone to secretly spread rumors and make trouble?
The crowd was silent. And no one came forward.
This made Zhao Xi more convinced of his judgment, and said loudly at the moment: "The so-called catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, catch the traitor in bed." You can't just say that people kill people and steal food because they are innocent, who has seen this with their own eyes? ”
"The villain saw it with his own eyes."
"And the villain, the villain has also seen it."
"There is also the last general, and the last general has also seen it."
As soon as the words fell, dozens of Qi soldiers stood up in unison, one of them was also a prestigious Sima of another department in the army, Zhao Xi also knew him quite well, this person was righteous and righteous, and he had always been a thousand gold. Waiting for leisure will not spread rumors and cause trouble, this time Zhao Xi is confused, can it be that Chu Jun will really kill people and steal food?
Meet Zhao Xi's inquiring eyes. Xiang Zheng shook his head indifferently. Said: "General, dare to guarantee the head of the Xiang Shang." The entire division of the Chu army was in a small city, and no one went out to kill people and steal food. ”
##########
The northern suburbs of Linzi, on a hill.
Almost two hours have passed, and it seems that it is almost time, but there is still no movement in Linzi City.
Bai Yan, who was pacing back and forth, suddenly turned his head and said to Zhou Yafu a little anxiously: "General, it seems that your plan still hasn't worked, and the Chu army and the Qi army still haven't been able to fight. ”…,
"Doesn't think it's enough to just throw a little spark." Zhou Yafu nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Well, a little spark is not enough, then add another fire to it." ”
##########
Outside the small city of Linzi, when the two sides were holding each other, something happened again.
The little colonel guarding the north gate suddenly ran to Zhao Xi out of breath and reported urgently: "General, the Chu army is killing people again, some people are fleeing to Linzi for refuge, and a team of about 100 Chu troops is chasing and killing them. ”
"Look, to say that there is no murder is simply talking nonsense with your eyes open!"
"Now let's see what else he has to say, these damn Chu Guoyan, die!"
"Didn't he vouch for his head? Well, cut off his head now! ”
The situation that had just calmed down suddenly exploded again, and the officers and men of the Qi army were surging again.
Zhao Xi's expression also cooled, and he said to Xiang Zheng: "Prince, what else do you have to say now?" ”
Next to him, Lou Jing was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and said again and again: "Misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding." ”
"No, I'm afraid this is not a misunderstanding, but a deliberate plan!" Xiang Zheng waved his hand and said lightly, "General, if you don't guess wrong, this must be a trick played by the Han army and Hei Bingtai." ”
"Han Jun? Black Ice Terrace? Zhao Xi's heart moved slightly, and he said, "What credentials does the prince have?" ”
"There are no credentials under it." Xiang Zheng shook his head and said, "However, whether this is a trick played by the Han army and Hei Bingtai, you can know as long as you send troops out of the city to see." ”
"Okay." Zhao Xi immediately made a decision and shouted, "Then let's take a look." ”
##########
The northern suburbs of Linzi, on a hill.
Looking at the "Chu army" outside the north gate of Linzi, who was wantonly chasing and killing the people of Qidi, Zhou Yafu suddenly said to Bai Yan and Han Ju: "The two generals hurry down to rectify the men and horses, and prepare to seize the city." ”
"Huh? Straighten out the men and horses and prepare to storm the city? Bai Yan was stunned when he heard this, and Han Ju was puzzled, "General Yafu, didn't you want to provoke the Chu army to merge with the Qi army, why did you change your mind and plan to seize the city?" ”
Zhou Yafu smiled slightly and said: "This general wants to provoke the Chu army to merge with the Qi army, but provoking them is just a means, and the ultimate goal is to take the opportunity to seize the city." After a brief pause, Zhou Yafu said confidently, "If General Ben is not mistaken, the Qi army should leave the city later, and if you don't take the city at this time, when will you stay?" ”

ps: Yesterday there was only one change, not because there was something, but the plot is really difficult to conceive, the military plot, the most headache, is the design of tactics, I can't think of good tactics for a while, I can only think slowly.
