"Huang Daochun? A chronicler, the most wise man in Beidi? What a mess."
Sitting in the military tent, Xu Mu looked at the collected intelligence with a sneer on his face.
"My little boss, I also got the information after finding two Hezhou officials who were avoiding trouble. I heard that this time not only are 100,000 Di people marching south, but there are also 120,000 Di people behind them, preparing to join forces.
"
"As for Huang Daochun, this man is the national advisor of Beidi. Beidi's Dog Khan specially sent him to recruit Zhao Qingyun to surrender."
"The best wise man in Beidi... If you take a dog to a wild place like the Saibei Grassland, you can probably get into the top ranks." Xu Mu didn't care. He knew the wisdom of five thousand years of future generations and conspired.
, he could beat the so-called best wise man in Beidi to pieces.
"Then, after three days, can we really capture Hezhou City? My dear boss, this is a fortified city." Chang Wei obviously didn't believe it.
Yu Wen and some of the generals who were standing by were also full of doubts.
"With Zhao Qingyun's temperament and the number one wise man in Beidi, it should be very possible."
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead and slowly walked out of the military tent. At this time, around him, there were already various tents scattered all over Xingluo.
Under the light of the torch, the figures moving in the tent could still be vaguely seen.
"Chang Wei, starting from tomorrow, you will take three thousand people and circle to the right from outside Hezhou City. Don't make any noise."
"Little boss, where should we go?"
"Go around and come back."
"This is egg laying..."
Xu Mu did not answer and continued to speak seriously.
"Si Hu, you also take 3,000 people with you. When Chang Wei comes back, you will follow him around in a circle."
Si Hu, who was eating steamed buns, suddenly stood up and became energetic when he heard Xu Mu's words.
"Mu, Brother Mu, am I going to be a general?"
"Go ahead and be careful. After going around, go into the forest on the right and then turn back to the camp."
"Brother Mu, I heard that military orders are going to be issued! I will issue ten military orders!"
"Don't stand..."
"Then General Xu, what are we waiting for?" Yu Wen and several other generals stood up in a hurry.
"You guys, please stay in the camp for the time being. In the next two days, we will start camp for forty people per camp."
"Brother Mu, are you robbing your rice bucket?"
"I feel sorry for you. After entering Hezhou City, you will naturally have meat and wine."
…
One night passed.
Following Xu Mu's instructions, Chang Wei led 3,000 people, carefully approaching Hezhou in the early morning haze, and then carefully circled around the woods not far from Hezhou.
Chang Wei thought he was hiding something from the truth and just regarded it as a funny game. He didn't know that when the weather was dry at the border, no matter how careful he was, there would still be some dust and smoke.
"Brother Hu, you are now a general after all, so you have to be careful and don't mess things up!" Chang Wei came back and did not forget to give Si Hu a few words.
"You know, I wanted to issue a military order last night, but Brother Mu wouldn't let me."
It was a rare occasion for him to lead a group of people, and Si Hu looked high-spirited. He lived a simple life. If Xu Mu was around, he would do what he did.
"Be careful, be careful." Si Hu made a rare gesture of silence. As he walked forward, he suddenly crushed a tree stump.
He was so shocked that he froze on the spot, as if he had stepped on a thunderbolt, and he did not dare to move for a long time.
On the hidden high slope near the camp, the dozens of heroes who were watching were speechless for a while.
"General Xu, Brother Tiger is indeed a charging tiger general, but for such small things, I finally feel that something will go wrong with him." Yu Wen had a wry smile on his face.
"I think so too." Xu Mu was not surprised and replied with a faint smile.
"General, how do you say this..."
"Look, I, Xu Mu, want to give it a try. How many years has this Di Gou's number one wise man studied?"
"Yu Wen, remember to reduce the cooking stove."
…
On top of the city, Zhao Qingyun's face suddenly turned cold.
No matter how cautious he was, he finally discovered the smoke and figures in the woods to the side.
"What is the little boss going to do?"
"Detour. I heard you say before that there is another passage to the west of Hezhou."
"That's true. Last time, the little boss took three thousand people and entered the hinterland of Wangzhou from the mountain road to the west."
"Many people in Saibei Grassland know that hundreds of thousands of troops were blocked by the Second City."
After finishing speaking, Huang Daochun raised his head and looked at the camp in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.
Until dusk and darkness fell, the two of them were still standing. In the camp not far away, the smoke of the cooking fire finally rose again.
"He must have also discovered that something was wrong and made a fuss, so he didn't send anyone to the west for most of the day."
Zhao Qingyun frowned, "But the question now is, I don't know how many people are still in the camp ahead, and how many people have left?"
Huang Daochun suddenly smiled and pointed forward, "I figured it out immediately. The little boss is hiding something from the truth. Unfortunately, I know the method of calculating the stove. Ten people have one stove. Today's stove smoke should also be correct.
.In other words, the number of soldiers has not decreased."
"There are also eight thousand civilian husbands."
"The common people will not share the same stove, and they will not be too close to Hezhou, so they can be ignored."
Huang Daochun had a funny look on his face, "The little boss pretended to be using a secret strategy. It made us think that he was slowly moving his troops to the west and entering the hinterland of Wangzhou again."
"If this is true, it would be a big problem."
"It's not true. As I said, I know the method of counting stoves. Since the number of stoves has not decreased, it means that the number of soldiers in the camp has not decreased. He is indeed a smart man, but it is a pity that he met me."
"Then what should I do?"
"He wanted to lure me out of the city, but in the end he was a little stupid. Don't worry, General Zhao, I already have a good plan in mind."
…
In the camp, Si Hu burst into tears.
"Brother Mu, I was really careful at that time. The tree stumps were obviously moving, and when they ran to my feet, I obviously watched them stop."
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead, thinking about whether to tell the truth. After all, it would be considered a meritorious service. But after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Fortunately, we stopped him at that time... and didn't let him issue ten military orders. Otherwise, it would have ended badly in front of so many people.
"Brother Mu, I will definitely be careful when I go there tomorrow."
"I won't go tomorrow."
"What?"
"Do other things tomorrow."
Xu Mu guessed that the first wise man in Beidi in Hezhou was a little clever. But this kind of cleverness was actually very pleasing.
After all, there have been too many fools throughout the ages who were clever but were misled by their cleverness.
"Little boss, there are only two days left."
"I know."
The bloody battle in Wangzhou is still going on. If not for this, Xu Mu would not use such dangerous tactics. He only hopes that the veteran general Lian Yong can lead the old soldier camp to hold on for a little longer.
…
Wangzhou City Head.
Swarms of flying arrows flew one after another, even at dusk and into night, they still whizzed non-stop, intertwining into a dense network of arrows.
The old soldiers who huddled under the female wall could hear nothing except the whistling of flying arrows.
It was like a dead silence.
It was only when the flying arrow completely fell that screams of pain suddenly erupted from the surrounding areas.
"Reflection——"
Lian Yong raised his iron bow with a face full of dust and smoke, and together with many old soldiers who got up from under the female wall, they roared angrily and fired a batch of flying arrows towards the city gate.
Thump thump thump.
Hundreds of corpses of Beidi people approaching were skewered into hedgehogs.
"Hang Yakshasagi down!"
When Lian Yong gritted his teeth and stretched his beard and hair, he raised the iron bow again.
At the gate of the city, a shouting Di centurion was shot through the head by an arrow before his voice could stop.
