Chapter 183: Illusion

"Isn't this girl having a good time? Let's taste it tonight and then put it back. "The man in the lead has eight beards, and his face looks fierce.

Wu Yuyan's eyes were full of sneers, and he stepped back step by step, holding his arms with both hands, and shouted domineeringly, "What do you want to do?" I tell you, I am the daughter of the lord of Beicheng, and my father will not let you go. ”

"Yo, I'm still the emperor's grandson." One of the men laughed, and then threw himself on top of her, tearing her clothes directly.

"Brothers, come on, let's find this bitch tonight."

Everyone understands that if this woman escapes tonight, then their heads will hit the ground, and several men will rush up.

The moonlight is cold and poignant.

After rushing back to the city overnight, Chi Jingyu made the room quiet and ordered Bai Wushuang to go to bed and rest first, while he himself walked out.

Unexpectedly, he thought that Bai Wushuang had fallen asleep, and he didn't want him to just stand in the aisle and think about the scene when he escaped, so he saw Bai Wushuang get up again.

"Can't sleep?" He opened his lips slightly, staring at her with a dark look in his eyes.

Bai Wushuang lifted his eyes, and with some worry in his eyes, he met his pupils, and said bluntly: "Brother Jingyu, you said that the woman who helped us just now, she is okay, right?" ”

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, and her originally cheerful and optimistic face was covered with a rare layer of guilt.

Chi Jingyu didn't want her to worry, so he pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, his cold face was a little weird, and he reached out and rubbed her hair, "Fool, sleep, it's okay." ”

"People are just worried about her..."Bai Wushuang didn't follow, and muttered again.

Seeing this, Chi Jingyu pulled her close to him and said directly, "Okay, okay, how about finding someone to find out the news of the woman later?" Satisfied? ”

Near dawn, when the morning sun rises.

When the news came back, Chi Jingyu didn't expect that the woman named Wu Yuyan was the daughter of the city lord of Beicheng, and after being slightly surprised, he was thinking about whether to talk to Bai Wushuang.

I didn't expect Bai Wushuang to be sober and listen to all this word in his ears.

She said resolutely, "Let's go, go to the city lord." ”

Was it because of them that the woman was taken away and ravaged by the enemy?

For a time, the army was short of food, and the soldiers could only rely on some porridge for three days, but they were going to march into battle, how could this food be enough.

And the morale of the soldiers also plummeted because they failed to eat enough for several days.

Fang Hu looked like an ant on a hot pot and asked, "General Chi, the soldiers haven't eaten enough for three days, it's not a good thing that morale has been low like this." ”

"General Fang, don't worry, I have already discussed the matter of food with Wushuang, and after a while, Wushuang and I will take a troop to exchange some grain for the shepherds in the neighboring villages, so that it can be solved before the arrival of the imperial court's grain."

Chi Jingyu told Fang Hu the results of his previous discussions with Bai Wushuang, and at present, only this method was the fastest and most effective, and Fang Hu also nodded in agreement.

As for why they knew about the herdsmen of the neighboring villages, it was also thanks to Bai Wushuang who had inquired about the situation in the neighboring villages before.

So Chi Jingyu and Bai Wushuang quickly selected a few soldiers to form a small team, and the two led the soldiers to the neighboring village.

Luckily, they got three sheep and two cows in exchange for money, and the problem of food was temporarily solved.

Back at the camp, Chi Jingyu asked people to slaughter the cattle and sheep and make meat soup and distribute them to the soldiers and instructed: "This move must be cautious and cautious, so as not to let the enemy notice." ”

"Why is General Chi?" Fang Hu asked puzzled.

"The enemy army only defends and does not attack, which is consuming the strength of our army, so that they think that we have no food and strength has been greatly reduced and can take advantage of it, so they will take the initiative to attack." Chi Jingyu said with a smile.

He analyzed the battle situation in the past few days and the terrain of the northern city, which was steep and dangerous, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and if he attacked in a vague way, he would only lose his own troops.

The only way to do this is to force them to attack.

"What General Chi said is that Fang didn't think about it." One sentence woke up Fang Hu, in the past few days, they have suffered a lot of losses, and the other party is very shrewd to only defend and not attack, consuming their troops and food, which is really hateful.

"General Fang, please supervise the preparation of wood broth by the soldiers, and it is better to be careful during the critical period." Chi Jingyu nodded and explained the matter, turned to Bai Wushuang and said, "Wushuang, go ahead with me to explore the way." ”

"Okay." Bai Wushuang followed Chi Jingyu to explore the road near Beicheng.

The two came to the east side of the northern city, where the terrain was steep and dangerous, and there were stone forts everywhere, and the gates were closed everywhere, and the walls were guarded by sentinels, so that if they were to be attacked, they would suffer hardship.

"These cattle and sheep can alleviate the lack of food for the time being, but if it drags on for too long and they don't take action, sooner or later we will still be at risk of losing food." Bai Wushuang sighed, although she could still see that this terrain was absolutely unfavorable to them when it came to the battlefield.

And there is no way to say for sure that they will move their troops as expected, and the food and grass of the court do not know when it will arrive.

At that time, it will be their side that will lose the troops.

"Don't worry, this battle is not only in our anxiety, they also want to end it early, and the consumption of food is on both sides." Chi Jingyu looked confident and said, "Let's go back, they won't be able to bear it in less than three days." When the time comes, we will take it by surprise, and then let General Fang take the opportunity to rob the other party's grain and grass, so that we are not afraid that they will be exhausted? ”

The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, which is probably what it means.

Hearing this, Bai Wushuang understood what Chi Jingyu meant, nodded, and said, "I understand, use the way of others to govern others." ”

After the two of them investigated, they returned to the camp, and just as the beef soup was ready, the two of them shared a bowl of soup.

After the soldiers were full of food and drink, they all recovered their spirits, but according to Chi Jingyu's orders, everyone still pretended to be dying.

When the enemy saw that Chi Jingyu and the others seemed to be running out of food, they took advantage of this to open the city gate and attack them.

The moment Chi Jingyu saw the city gate open, the corners of his mouth rose, knowing that the enemy army was deceived, so he crossed his legs and stepped on the horse and shouted: "Soldiers, take out your morale and give it to me!" ”

"Rush!" The soldiers obeyed the order and rushed towards the enemy, and the enemy leader found out that he had been fooled but it was too late, so he had to face it head-on.

The result was obvious, the enemy's attack was vulnerable, Chi Jingyu took advantage of the good terrain to command, fiercely suppressed the enemy army, and beat the opponent to the ground.

The enemy suffered heavy losses and hurriedly withdrew his troops back to the city, but Chi Jingyu was willing to give them this opportunity, and hurriedly rode his horse to contain the leader of the enemy army.

"General Fang, take advantage of this to attack their grain depot!" Bai Wushuang, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, took advantage of this and hurriedly shouted to the other tiger.

Fang Hu glanced at Bai Wushuang, a little unhappy about being instructed by a woman, but he knew that he should do this, and after taking a look at the other party, he rode his horse and led his troops into the city to loot the enemy's grain depot.

And Chi Jingyu saw that Fang Hu had already achieved the task, so he didn't love fighting, and released water to let people successfully withdraw to the city.

"General Fang, can you get all the grain from the grain depot?" Chi Jingyu heard Bai Wushuang's voice, and now they don't have to wait for the imperial court to help them solve it.

Now, they can use their own way to heal others.

Now all they need to do is wait until the enemy army is short of food and can no longer support it and surrender voluntarily.

Sure enough, after three days, the enemy soldiers were already too hungry to hold on.

Seeing that this was the time to attack the city and take advantage of the victory to pursue, Chi Jingyu stopped Fang Hu's move to attack.

"General Chi, what do you mean by this?" Fang Hu was stopped on his horse, and looked at Chi Jingyu in confusion.

"General Fang, I don't think it's necessary to attack its dead end now, I think we can negotiate peace with the other party." Chi Jingyu's face was solemn, not at all like a joke.

He wanted to use this to negotiate peace and convince people with sincerity, so that in the future, the people of Beicheng and the descendants of the rebellious party would also be convinced.

If it is recovered by brute force, it is very likely that it will rise up in the future.

"I agree with Jing Yu's idea, in this way, the people of Beicheng will also think that His Majesty is to convince people with virtue, and if he obeys, he will also be convinced." Bai Wushuang also agreed, saying: "If it is forcibly recovered, I am afraid that the descendants of the rebellious party will be dissatisfied and rise up in the future. ”

"Hmph, if you want to recover it, you have to recover it completely, what is the reason?" Fang Hu absolutely disagreed.

He was the emperor's man, so he naturally acted on orders.

The emperor asked him to do something, and he was absolutely respectful.

Chi Jingyu and Bai Wushuang both agreed to negotiate peace like this, which made him have to suspect that the two of them wanted to recover Beicheng alone, so he began to doubt the credibility of the two.

"General Fang, if it is indeed forcibly recovered, it will be much more convenient." Chi Jingyu still insisted on his own ideas, and wanted to persuade Fang Hu to agree with his ideas, so he persuaded bitterly: "However, if you attack, more soldiers will be sacrificed, whether it is the enemy or our side." For the sake of the long term, I would suggest peace talks. ”

"......" Fang Hu was silent for a while, his face couldn't tell what he was thinking at this moment, he still didn't agree to the peace talks, so he said: "No, Fang has to tell the emperor about this matter, and he can only act after the emperor makes a decision." ”

"Okay then." Chi Jingyu still wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't say it, he could only obey the monarch and ministers.

Although he felt that he was a little regretful that he could not negotiate peace, at least he had completed the basic tasks now.

The eldest prince can be considered to be able to explain himself. It's just that the lives of these soldiers and those unprovoked soldiers are not too irresponsible.

Fang Hu wrote down the situation in a letter and sent someone to send it to the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

When the emperor saw the contents of the letter, he thought in his heart that Chi Jingyu and his wife were so determined to reconcile, they must have made a deal with the lord of the small country in Beicheng.
