Everything was as Xu Han had expected, until it was getting late and night fell, and Mu Ji did not attack again.

On the silent Yellow City, the banner of the forest character fluttered in the night wind, and yesterday's chaos was like a big dream, which seemed extremely unreal, only the corpses scattered outside the city gate and the smell of blood in the air that could not be dispersed for a long time were still reminding everyone that all this was happening, and it would only intensify.

But in any case, the rest of the day is indeed a good thing for the soldiers of the Great Yellow City who have been tired all night, at least they can have enough energy to deal with the battle that may occur at any time tonight.

Xu Han walked out of the tent after a good night's sleep, and was greeted by Su Mu'an, who was smiling happily with two strings of sugar gourds in his hand.

"Mansion Master. Su Mu'an saw Xu Han, and ran over with a jump, and the pair of exaggerated swords behind him jumped up and down as he ran, and the scene looked quite funny.

"Did you go to Granny Zhao to get the sugar gourd again?" Xu Han smiled angrily.

"No, it was just given to me by Granny Zhao, she came to see her son, and she happened to meet her. Su Muan argued.

"Hmm, have you seen it?" asked Xu Han.

"Nope. Su Mu'an shook her head a little distressed, "Granny Zhao said that the army has the rules of the army, and she can't get in, but every day when it's time to change shifts, the soldiers will be transferred back and forth, and she will wait there every day, and if she is lucky, she can take a look." ”

"That's it..."Xu Han nodded when he heard this, he didn't know why he heard such words, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He thought about it and took out some silver money from his arms and handed it to Su Mu'an: "In the future, Granny Zhao will give you a gourd, do you have to give people money?"

"Huh?" Su Mu'an became more and more distressed when he heard this. But she always didn't. ”

"Aren't you a swordsman, how can a swordsman take advantage of people?" Xu Han blinked.

"Can't a swordsman take advantage of someone? Why didn't my dad tell me? Su Muan also blinked, very confused.

Xu Han was a little weak by him, so he simply diverted the topic. "Anyway, you have to remember to give money, go back and rest by yourself, I'm going up to the castle tower." ”

"Hmm. Su Mu'an nodded when he heard this, then took his sugar gourd and turned around and walked towards his tent.

Xu Han looked at his departing back and shook his head. This kid is really missing a tendon...

"Always deceiving children, do you have any energy?" At this time, a soft voice suddenly came from beside him.

Xu Han turned his head to look when he heard this, but saw that Ye Hongjian had already stood behind him at some point.

After hearing about the war, Su Mu'an, the little guy, kept clamoring to go into battle to kill the enemy, but with his small body, how dare Xu Han let him do this?

And Ye Hongjian's ridicule is probably because of this matter.

Xu Han was also noncommittal about this, he smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

Ye Hongjian didn't say much when he heard this, so he stood quietly side by side with Xu Han and walked towards the direction of the city tower.

......

Niutou Village, Qingzhou.

August was supposed to be the time of the autumn harvest, and it stands to reason that it has survived the long spring and summer, and now the days of Niutou Village should have taken a turn for the better.

But at night, Niutou Village was lifeless, and there was no lively scene of neighbors walking back and forth in the past.

Liu Dingdang sat at the door of the house with red eyes, and there were bursts of men's violent coughing in the room.

Each sound was like a hammer hitting Liu Dingdang's chest.

She was a little bored, and tears began to roll in her eyes again.

Squeak.

With a hoarse sound, the courtyard door was pushed open.

The little monk with his head bowed walked into the courtyard.

"How is it? Do you want to get the money?" Liu Dingdang hurriedly stood up, ran to the little monk, and asked eagerly.

The eagerness in her eyes made the little monk feel a little ashamed.

This appearance fell in Liu Dingdang's eyes, and he naturally guessed the result. She was stunned, and the tears in her eyes finally couldn't be contained, and they couldn't help flowing down her cheeks.

"My dad was so nice to them, why did they do this to my dad!" the little girl sobbed in a hoarse voice.

She doesn't know how many times she has said such a complaint in her heart.

She was still a little too confused after all.

A few days ago, Niutou Village finally ushered in the first harvest in several years, and all families harvested abundant rice grains.

But such days did not last a few days, and the robbers in Niutou Mountain were like vultures that smelled the smell of rotting meat, and they came to ask for 1,000 stone of rice grain from Niutou Village.

There are only more than 100 people in Niutou Village, and this thousand stone rice grain is almost half of all the rice grain in the village.

As the head of the village, Liu Dazhuang naturally had to negotiate with the bandit leaders who came to ask for food.

Liu Dazhuang broke his mouth, and finally said that the 1,000 stone rice grain was 400, but among the villagers watching the village, the children of the unknown family actually threw stones at the bandit leader. The bandits, who had softened, insisted on a thousand stone of rice grain, and the two sides could not count it, so the bandit leader shouted at his bandits to rob him, and the two sides clashed.

Although the bandits were beaten away, Liu Dazhuang was also injured, and a fist-sized bloody hole was stabbed in the abdomen by a dagger.

At first, the villagers were very active in trying to find a way to heal Liu Dazhuang's injuries, and even raised money to invite a doctor from Hu Guancheng to come to check, but after the doctor saw it, he prescribed a pair of painkillers and then shook his head and left.

Liu Dingdang was naturally unwilling, and wanted to raise money to take Liu Dazhuang to the county town of Qingzhou to see a better Langzhong.

But this time, the people in the village seemed to have changed their faces, and they all shook their heads and said that they had no money to spare, but Liu Dingdang heard them talking in private, Liu Dazhuang was already a dead man, why did he have to spend money on this dead man?

Liu Dingdang asked for money cheekily several times, which annoyed the villagers, and now when he saw her, he hid like a plague god, and Liu Dingdang, who couldn't get money, could only guard Liu Dazhuang at home, while the little monk took the baton and went several times, but they all returned with a feather.

Looking at Liu Dingdang, whose face was full of tears in front of him, Guanglin Ghost's heart was not a taste.

How could he not have the same confusion as Liu Dingdang in his heart?

Liu Dazhuang was the best one he had ever seen, and the old monk told him more than once in the broken temple that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil.

But why did Liu Dazhuang fall into such a field, and the villagers who were favored by him treated him like a stranger at the moment?

The little monk couldn't understand this truth, but he didn't want to believe that this was the end that Liu Dazhuang deserved.

Therefore, he looked at Liu Dingdang at that time: "Uncle Liu is such a good person, he will definitely get better." ”

Maybe it's the firm tone in the little monk's words, or maybe it's just that people will subconsciously grasp the little hope that is left when they are desperate.

Liu Dingdang stopped his crying, looked at the little monk with teary eyes, and asked uncertainly, "Really?"

This question stopped the little monk.

He really didn't know why Liu Dazhuang could get better without money to see a doctor and buy medicine.

But he really didn't want to look at Liu Dingdang in front of him so sadly.

So after a slight hesitation, he nodded heavily.

"Really. ”

"Don't lie to me?"

"I kid you not. ”

"The hook. ”

......

Just like last night, Mu Ji's army launched surprise attacks again and again.

Repeated feints left thousands of corpses outside the Great Yellow City, but they did not achieve any results.

The sky had not yet dawned, and the third feint attack of the Muji side could come to an end.

Under the command of Lin Shou, the soldiers carried out the material inventory and personnel dispatch after the war in an orderly manner.

Xu Han, who had nothing to do, leaned against the city, looking at the situation under the city, his brows furrowed suddenly.

Lin Shou, who had arranged the matter, caught a glimpse of Xu Han standing at the head of the city out of the corner of his eye, he thought slightly, and walked over the next moment.

"What is Mansion Master Xu thinking?" he asked with a squint and a smile.

Xu Han came back to his senses when he heard this, but he was a little surprised to see that the person who came was Lin Shou.

"It's nothing, I just think something doesn't seem right. ”

"What's the matter?" Xu Han's remarks in the attic today made Lin Shou have a great change in his opinion of Xu Han, and when he heard his words, he naturally wanted to ask what was going on.

"Hmm..." Xu Han stretched out his hand after thinking for a while, pointing to the row of corpses lying densely outside the city. In the night, it is natural to see the appearance of those corpses, but you can vaguely see the approximate location of those corpses.

"General, please see, the location of those corpses is almost all concentrated a hundred feet away from the city gate, and then reduced to the sides. ”

"Hmm, what's wrong with that?" Lin Shou said puzzled.

"Of course, this seems to us to be no problem, but it only shows that the general has managed the army well, and the archers under his command are accurate in their arrows. Xu Han smiled, and the words changed at that time: "But in Yu Muji's opinion, I'm afraid there are some problems." ”

"What's the problem?" Lin Shou seemed to hear something, a divine light lit up in his eyes, and his mouth asked.

"According to Mu Ji's thoughts, since last night, we should have not had the slightest time to rest, and we should be tired all day long, and now we should be tired, but the archers in the general's hands are still so accurate in their arrows, it is an unreasonable thing..."

"What does the Lord of the Xu Mansion mean?"

"Since you want to plan it, you naturally have to do enough drama, and I think it's okay to show some flaws to the king of the northern frontier. Xu Han said this, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little heavier.

The old general's face was suddenly colored at that time, and he stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, good, the mansion master has a good plan." ”

His laughter attracted the surprised eyes of everyone around him, but the old general ignored it and still laughed.

"The general has won the award, and the younger generation only mentions some small words, and the key depends on the general's decision. Xu Han said respectfully, but he also said this from his heart, not hypocritical and humble words.

When Lin Shou heard this, he put away his smile, he glanced at Xu Han deeply, and said with deep eyes: "The mansion master is too modest, your ability is much more powerful than you imagined." ”

Lin Shou's praise was naturally unpretentious, and Xu Han no longer continued to be humble, he changed his words, and suddenly asked: "There is still something I don't understand, I have to ask the general to solve my doubts." ”

"What's the matter?" Lin Shou seemed to be in a very good mood at this time, and after hearing Xu Han's words, he asked aloud.

"There are more than a thousand powerhouses in the Heavenly Hunting Realm in Mu Ji's hands, on the other hand, on our side, the Tiance Army can take out more than fifty powerhouses in the Heavenly Hunting Realm, and there are only more than three hundred in the hands of the general, and the sum is only half of the in Mu Ji's hands, is it a bit big to ambush those thousand Heavenly Hunting Realm powerhouses in such a number?"

When Lin Shou heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then suddenly laughed.

"The lord of the mansion not only underestimated himself. ”

"It's underestimated, the one in your hand..."

"Dozens of red-robed ministers..."
