Qu Chuxiao made extremely detailed arrangements before Ba Niu's arrival. He asked Xu Youning to lead 50,000 men to be stationed outside the city, and Lu Kuan as his flank, stationed east of the city gate. Logically speaking, a wing cannot fly, and an army is needed in the west of the city, but in fact there is none.

When Ba Niu arrived, he was also taken aback. As soon as his 100,000 horses were set up, he immediately called Sheng Shiyuan and Ma Xudong to a high mountain outside the city, which was the highest point outside Kyoto.

"A genius like Qu Chuxiao will never make a mistake." Ba Niu pointed at the camp in front of the city with a horsewhip and said: "In the current form, if we attack his Chinese army with all our might, then his rescue will only be all the way east of the city." It is clear that this kind of power is absolutely not enough for rescue. Will he give up these 50,000 horses and let us swallow them? No way, can the two generals know what they think"?

Sheng Shiyuan observed for a long time, and then said: "If my guess is correct, his city is the hidden elite, and the army outside the city is just a trap." In the event of a surprise attack on the troops outside the city, it is likely that the elite troops inside the city will strangle us. We're equal now, but the difference is that they're a rabble, we're the real elite. In the face of elite troops like ours, a head-on conflict, they do not take advantage, only use odds. The only trick is the trap."

Ma Xudong also agreed with him: "The words of the Metropolitan Governor are very reasonable. As a matter of common sense, as long as they hold the city, it will be difficult for us to advance. Especially when the strength is equal, but they choose to fight in the field, which is undoubtedly a next resort. It is almost impossible for a mediocre person to use this strategy, how can a person like Qu Chuxiao use such a low strategy? I thought it was a trap."

Ba Niu smiled: "You all guessed wrong, he was bluffing."

Two people at the same time "Oh? He looked at him with suspicion. But Ba Niu's expression was extremely calm, he smiled, and continued: "Qu Chuxiao's city does have his elite troops, but there are never too many of them. When Kang Le attacked Mingsha Mountain, he had already suffered a great injury, and their destruction army, as well as Chu Tiangang's troops, were almost completely annihilated. Later, they invaded Mingsha Mountain again, and then invaded Dongduo, and in Shushan City, Chu Han's army was almost completely annihilated. Chu Feng don't talk about it, it's all a rabble. Later, in the Watsons Plain, Yu Fengming and Yu Fengzhi brothers were wiped out again. This is also the reason why Chu Yuxing chose the ultimate weapon in the final strategic decision, not because of how cruel he was, but because he was a little powerless. His army was no longer enough for him to wage war, so he chose such an extremely cruel method. Later, they conquered the Qiushan Peninsula, and when Qiuyu's army did not survive, Sheng Shiyuan's army surrendered to us, and Chu Yunshen's army was completely annihilated. By the time Chu Yuxing personally conquered, the army claimed to be 600,000 was already less than 500,000, and with many vassal countries participating in the war, their weakness could be imagined. It's not how strong we are, it's that the enemy is too weak. That's what I came to after that war. You can imagine that if they were an army with a certain combat ability, how could we win so easily with 150,000 against 500,000? Chu Yuxing's troops are already vulnerable, so it is conceivable that the defenders who are now stationed in various places can be imagined. Qu Chuxiao is not a mediocre talent, he has an army of 100,000, but he can only huddle in Kyoto City, and he can't even conquer several surrounding prefectures, isn't this enough to explain the problem? The reason why he did not choose to stick to the city when facing us, but let some people camp outside the city, and face us in such a formation, is just a suspicious strategy. He must no longer be in the city, but has gone around behind us, ready to make a surprise attack on our rear while we confront the army outside the city, and this is his only chance."

Sheng Shiyuan and Ma Xudong are both people who think they are extremely smart, although they agree with Ba Niu's analysis, they still have doubts, they don't believe that Qu Chuxiao will go out of the city, because that would be self-defeating. But Ba Niu insisted on his own idea: "This is his only chance, whether it is against us head-to-head or defending the city, he will definitely lose, there is still a chance to sneak attack, I believe he will seize this opportunity."

"So, how do we respond"? After all, the enemy also has 100,000 people, and there is a force hiding in the shadows, Ma Xudong can't think of any foolproof strategy that can cope with this situation. But Sheng Shiyuan thought of it.

"We can lure snakes out of their holes"!

Ba Niu smiled and nodded, but Ma Xudong's eyes widened.

"What he meant was that we could put a bait." As soon as Ba Niu's words came out, Ma Xudong understood their plan, and smart people often don't need to say everything.

"So, who's going to be the bait? Great General You"?

"Of course it's me", Ba Niu laughed: "The temptation of you people is not enough, it's okay to attract some little snakes, to attract a giant python like Qu Chuxiao, only a bait like me is enough."

The three of them looked at each other, then burst out laughing.

The next morning, Ba Niu's army and Xu Youning's army lined up outside the city of Kyoto. Both sides are all the main forces out of the station, 100,000 people in Ba Niu, 50,000 people in Xu Youning, at least, judging from the formation of both sides.

After a brief confrontation, the two sides beat the drums of war at the same time, and then they fought together. Ba Niu's 100,000 people and Xu Youning's 50,000 people were almost in a white-hot state at the initial stage, but the gap in strength soon became apparent. The army of the Kangle people began to retreat, and they could not withstand the onslaught of the people of the Akiyama Peninsula. It was at this time that a huge army appeared in the rear of the people of the Akiyama Peninsula, that is, Qu Chuxiao's 50,000 men.

This number of troops, appearing at this time, can be said to be just right, they quickly broke the people of the Akiyama Peninsula to pieces, and Ba Niu fled in the wilderness.

Qu Chuxiao identified the banner of Ba Niu, led his subordinates, and pursued it all the way. Qu Chuxiao was proud, and did not consider the consequences, the banner of Ba Niu jumped over the hill, he also followed the jump over the hill, the banner of Ba Niu crossed the river, he also followed the crossing, in the blink of an eye, he had been chasing for four or five hours, and it was a hundred miles away from Kyoto City.

It wasn't long before they finally caught up with the banner of Ba Niu, but it was only a big banner. It stood in front of Qu Chuxiao, leaning on a big tree, and there was a letter from Ba Niu on the flagpole.

"We all have childhoods, and so do you and me. Does the general remember? A game I often did when I was a child, called peek-a-boo, and today I had a chance play with the general, and the fun can be known. The general is also interested in playing with it? You can make fun of each other another day. That's it for today, there is still a celebration banquet in Kyoto City, and if the general wishes, he might as well come and sit down."

Qu Chuxiao increased his forehead with his hand, and sighed hatefully: "The thief is cunning, I have fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain"! He immediately ordered the army that the rear team should be the front team, and the front team should be the rear team, and hurried back to Kyoto City overnight. But when he arrived, the city gate had been closed, and the banner on the city had changed from the banner flag of the Kangle people to the nine dragon flags of the Mingsha Mountain people.

He had no choice but to set up camp temporarily, but fortunately his losses were not large, 100,000 people and 80,000 people, but the city changed hands. But now, the situation is very different, many of the generals' families are in the city, and their fate is uncertain, which also makes it difficult for these people outside the city to sleep. By the next day, letters from the generals had reached their respective hands, and the contents of them were all very consistent, first telling them that the people of the Akiyama Peninsula had treated them with great courtesy, not only did not disturb them, but treated them as if they were guests. Then he persuaded them to surrender, saying that Ba Niu had promised to let them maintain their current rank, and the former officials would be rewarded, and promised not to blame them in the past, and treat them equally, just like Chang Lin and Sheng Shiyuan, and also regarded them as the forces of the Akiyama Peninsula.

Qu Chuxiao met You's grace and led the troops well, but compared to Guan Yu back then, it was still slightly inferior, and Ba Niu's strategy was far more than that of Lu Meng back then, and the same strategy was used, which naturally had a more obvious effect, Qu Chuxiao's army collapsed almost instantly, and in the huge camp, only a few thousand of them were left.
