In the evening, the main general of the Zhao army, Tao Leopard, sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and his subordinates sat on both sides of the big tent, and the faces of the generals all looked extremely tired without exception.

Since last night was harassed by the Jin army for most of the night, I haven't slept for a few hours, early in the morning, the Jin army came to make trouble again, and after the army moved to meet the enemy, it was found that it was just a false alarm, and in the afternoon, the same fuss a few times, now, the spirit of the generals has been extremely tired, and the sound of yawning sounded in the big tent from time to time.

Peach Leopard swallowed helplessly, glanced at the generals, and asked in a deep voice: "The Jin army's plan to exhaust the enemy, what is the strategy for the generals to solve it." ”

Hearing this, the generals in the tent looked at each other a few times, and one of the generals hugged his fists and said: "General, the last general thinks that it is safer to retreat twenty miles back and camp, first, to keep a distance from the Yin Ling City where the Jin army is stationed, and second, the distance of thirty miles, the army can arrive in a few hours, send troops in the morning, and attack the city before noon." ”

"Yes! It is safer to retreat twenty miles and set up camp, first recuperate and recharge, and then take the Yin Tomb with all your might. Most of the generals in the tent agreed with this mentions, after all, they had been too anxious by the harassment tactics of the Jin army, and they had reached the point where they could not retreat.

When Peach Leopard heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, although this was already the best way, and he had thought about it, but retreating and camping meant timidity, which meant that he Peach Leopard was afraid of the Jin army.

Moreover, there have been two defeats before, and the morale of the whole army is a little low, and if it is a trade and then retreats to camp, it will inevitably make the morale of the army even lower, and even a lot of negative gossip will emerge, if it reaches the ears of Shi Hu, who is so happy, it will be even worse.

"It is safe to retreat and camp, but it means that our army is afraid of the Jin army, and it will deal a great blow to the morale of the soldiers, so I am afraid that it will not be appropriate." Peach Leopard politely rejected the general's construction.

When the generals heard this, they were a little disappointed in their hearts, but they couldn't refute it, after all, Peach Leopard was right, retreating means cowardice, and as a soldier, no one wants to be labeled as timid.

"I don't know what the general has to do." A subordinate general asked about Peach Leopard directly, and there was a slight questioning in his words.

Peach Leopard's face darkened, obviously slightly dissatisfied, and after a while, looking at the generals, he said: "The Jin army only sends a small force to harass our army at a time, no more than a thousand people and horses, and our army only needs to send a small force to drive it away, and the main army rests as usual, don't pay attention to the harassment of the Jin army." ”

"It's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, if the main force of the Jin army really robbed the camp, wouldn't our army be passive." One of the generals expressed his concerns.

"Don't worry, Han Qian is old and serious, and if he is not sure enough, he will not make a desperate attempt to fight a decisive battle with my army." Peach Leopard actually has the mentality of a gambler.

In fact, Peach Leopard had already made all preparations, except for a small wave of men and horses who were responsible for driving away the small troops of the Jin army, there were always at least 5,000 soldiers in the large camp who could be put into battle at any time.

These soldiers on duty can immediately kill the camp when it is actually looted, block the enemy's attack, and buy time for the main army to assemble.

"The enemy troops harassed, the drums shook the sky, the soldiers were terrified, where could they still sleep." One general voiced his concerns.

"What's so hard about this, just plug up your ears when all the soldiers are resting." Beside Peach Leopard, Tao Wu, who had been silent, said loudly.

Although it is not a very good method, it is very practical at this time, Peach Leopard and the generals listened to it, and nodded again and again, at this time only this method is feasible.

"The order is given, and in the camp, when all soldiers sleep, their ears must be plugged up, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law." Peach Leopard gave a loud order, and waved his hand to the generals after speaking.

The generals willed, hugged their fists and withdrew from the Chinese army's tent.

On a small road in Shansang County, Yuzhou, Zhang Ju and his son were rushing overnight, and the terrible cry of owls sounded from time to time in the surrounding trees, but these were not terrifying at all for the father and son who fought on the battlefield, and they were not afraid of the sand field full of corpses and bones, and they were afraid of these birds and beasts that could only chirp.

"Driving ......"

While the father and son were walking and chatting, the sound of horses was heard behind them.

How could someone be in this black light who was rushing overnight like himself, it was too abnormal, the two of them subconsciously looked back, and by the hazy moonlight, a horse was running quickly.

"It's a messenger for our army." Zhang Ju recognized the identity of the person at a glance.

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "This person must have a letter from the peach leopard on him, it is better to intercept it and see what the peach leopard wrote to the king." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Ju nodded in agreement.

The two rode their horses and hid behind several large trees beside the path, waiting for the messenger to arrive.

"Hoo ......"

As soon as the messenger arrived, Zhang Liang picked up a branch that had been prepared and slammed it into the messenger's forehead, and with a "uh" sound, the messenger fell off his horse and fainted.

Seeing that the messenger had fainted, Zhang Ju's father and son hurriedly ran out, touched the messenger's body, and found a letter from his chest.

"Open it and take a look." Zhang Ju said, lighting the torch in his hand.

Zhang Liang opened the letter, put it near the torch and looked at it, and immediately became furious, the letter was written about the military situation on the front line, and the peach leopard actually cleared all the responsibility, and added fuel and vinegar to blame Zhang Ju for the losses of more than 10,000 troops.

"I didn't listen to orders, and in order to grab merit, I sent troops without authorization, resulting in the annihilation of nearly 10,000 troops, how can this be reasonable, Peach Leopard dares to do this." Zhang Ju was also furious after reading it, and at the same time began to believe what Zhang Liang said before, Peach Leopard had already had a grudge against himself, otherwise, how could he slander himself so much.

Seeing that his father was furious, Zhang Liang looked at the letter and said softly: "Dad, when the troops were dispatched, the peach leopard had clearly agreed, what does it mean to disobey the order and send troops without authorization, besides, the peach leopard swore to reinforce later, but he acted slowly, obviously he did not save him when he saw death, and he intended to kill people with a knife." ”

"Oh." When Zhang Ju heard this, he suddenly realized, and said hatefully: "Since the peach leopard is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." ”

"What is Daddy going to do?" Zhang Ju asked.

Zhang Ju pondered for a moment, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said in a dark voice: "Of course it's a new one, Liang'er, you are watching the messenger here, don't let him wake up." After saying that, he burned the letter, mounted his war horse and walked to the town not far away.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Ju rode his horse back, took it out of his arms as soon as he got off the horse, and handed the rewritten letter to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang looked at it, nodded again and again, and hurriedly folded the letter and put it back in the messenger's arms.

It turned out that Zhang Ju re-wrote a letter that put all the faults on Taobao's body, and the whole letter could be regarded as Taobao's plea.

"Liang'er, pinch other people's acupoints." Zhang Ju looked at the messenger who was still fainting and said softly.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang stretched out his hand and pinched the messenger's acupoint a few times, and after a while, the messenger's body moved, and seeing that the messenger would wake up soon, Zhang Ju father and son glanced at each other, and quietly led the horse to hide in the bushes next to him.

The messenger opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that he was lying on the ground, surrounded by lush trees except for his mount, which made him very puzzled, and he unconsciously scratched his head.

"How could you fall to the ground?" The messenger touched his forehead, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his forehead, and he reached out and tried to bleed.

Looking again, there were dense trees all around, and the messenger suddenly felt that he must have been hurrying too fast and hit a branch.

The messenger got up, dusted off his body, walked to his mount, and was about to mount his horse, when he was suddenly startled in his heart, and hurriedly touched his chest, and after touching it for a while, he found that something important was still there, and his heart was suddenly put down.

"Driving ......"

The messenger stepped onto his horse and ran along the established route towards Yecheng.

Seeing the messenger galloping away safely, Zhang Ju father and son glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths showed a treacherous smile at the same time.

Inside the north gate of Yinling City, as soon as the sky fell, Hua'an gathered the 200 soldiers who had been on the mission last night, and the 3,000 cavalry infantry that Han Qian had temporarily allocated.

In order to be able to completely annihilate the small force of the enemy army, Hua'an set the battlefield of ambush in Qianguling, where the terrain is complicated.

And let Wang San and Tie Niu lead a hundred soldiers and three thousand cavalry infantry directly to Qianguling to ambush, while Hua'an himself took Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu and the remaining hundred soldiers to the vicinity of the Taobao camp to beat drums and make trouble, until a small group of enemy troops was introduced into Qianguling.

Compared with the darkness of last night, the moonlight tonight was obviously much brighter, and Hua An led more than a hundred soldiers to stop a thousand steps away from the Peach Leopard camp.

"Drumming."

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

With Hua An's order, fifty drums emitted a deafening sound at the same time.

After the drum sounded, Hua An looked up and carefully observed every move of the enemy camp, and was stunned to find that the enemy camp was quiet, completely lost from the messy scene of yesterday.

Could it be that these enemy soldiers are deaf, and such a deafening drum sound has never been heard, Hua An couldn't figure it out for a while, but fortunately, the main purpose of tonight is to annihilate the enemy's small force, as long as it can attract a group of enemy troops out of the camp to pursue.

"Big brother, the enemy is riding out." The thunderstorm shouted loudly.

Of course, Hua'an saw that in front of the enemy camp Xiyuanmen, a lightly armed cavalry was rushing out and killing in his direction.

"Soldiers, let's withdraw." With a wave of his hand, Hua An commanded the troops to retreat in the direction of Qiangu Ridge.

The enemy cavalry pursued after a while, and when they saw that the Jin army was running all the way, the drums were getting smaller and smaller, and they expected that it would not affect the rest of the soldiers of the large battalion, so they stopped.

"Big brother, why didn't the enemy chase after you?" Zhao Wu was greatly surprised.

Hua An looked back and saw that nearly a thousand enemy light cavalry behind him had stopped pursuing, and was even preparing to turn the horse's head and return to the camp.

If they were allowed to return to the camp, then their plan to annihilate the enemy would be in vain, and Hua'an certainly did not want to work in vain.

"Soldiers, beat the drum with all your might." Huaan ordered loudly.
