After Li Yong and Chuan Tong secretly led the troops to set off, Yi Jun also began to act according to Dongfang Ao's plan.
Because of the strategy of marching into Linchuan, this tactic of luring the enemy has become less important. It is best if it succeeds. If it fails, it is just a tactic to attract the enemy's attention. Despite this, Xu Tong He and Dongfang Ao still did not relax at all, and arranged everything in a decent manner. He had to work very hard even if there was even a small amount of hope. A general should have such qualities.
First, the troops were secretly divided. Xu commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses and quietly broke out of camp on a dark night and headed towards Jingqu City. They built fake stoves on the road to pretend to be 30,000 soldiers. At the same time, there were 20,000 soldiers who set off. They retreated back, choosing a place to ambush, preparing to form a pincer attack with Xu Tong's men who returned to the carbine when the enemy really came to rob the camp. Dongfang Ao led the remaining less than 10,000 soldiers to stay behind in the camp. In the first two days, the soldiers moved around the camp frequently, pretending that the army had not been mobilized, and then began to gather troops to defend the strongest camp, making the enemy think that these troops were staying for long-term surveillance. to ensure the smooth passage of subsequent grain transportation teams.
This strategy is still very deceptive. If the generals of the Zhao army are eager to protect Jingqu City, they must not sit back and watch Xu Tong's troops march westward smoothly. At this time, there are only two ways to go in front of them. , one is to use all one's strength to pull out Dongfang Ao's men and horses, cut off their food routes, and then pursue them; the other is to leave enough men and horses to fight against Dongfang Ao, while the rest follow Xu Tong's Louis army and choose the opportunity to fight with the friendly forces in front. Attack it from the front and back.
Regarding the options available to Zhao Jun, Dongfang Ao had thought up careful countermeasures. What he was afraid of was that if they didn't move, his plan to lure the enemy would be more than half successful.[
He Ran originally wanted to march with Xu Tong's army himself after settling Su Xiyao, but it was too difficult to get rid of Su Xiyao, so he had no choice but to let others follow the army under his own banner, while he led the army He followed Su Xiyao secretly to Dagong City, fifty miles away. The battlefield situation was ever-changing, and he would never let Su Xiyao accompany him on adventures in the army.
In an exquisite house in Omiya Castle, He Ran stood with his hands clasped in front of a small pond. The water in the pond had already frozen. The owner of the house was obviously an interesting person. He cleaned up the remaining lotus branches before the pond water froze. , the small pond several feet in diameter is kept very neatly, and the ice surface is like a mirror.
He Ran seemed to be fascinated by the ice, staring blankly as if his body was frozen and motionless.
"Why are you dazed? It's not the right time to commit suicide by drowning."
Hearing Xiaozhu's slightly reproachful voice, He Ran came back to his senses, turned around and saw that she had arrived at his side at some point, and said with a smile: "You are still a brother and sister, so you know how to curse me."
Xiaozhu pulled up his sleeve and said: "Stop being so talkative. It's freezing outside in such a cold day. It doesn't matter if you are sick, we will suffer again. Go back to the house quickly. Madam doesn't want to see you out for such a long time." Don’t worry, if I knew you were freezing here, I’d be surprised if I could spare you!”
Only then did He Ran realize that his hands and feet were numb from the cold. He followed her two steps and suddenly stopped and said, "No, I'm almost freezing inside and outside. I will definitely get scolded when I go back. I have to warm up before going back." "
Xiao Zhuna let go of him and said: "Go to Zhong Zong and the others to warm themselves up by the fire. Come back immediately when it's warm. I'll go back and deal with it for you first."
He Ran pointed to the ice and said: "No, we will warm up after playing here for a while."
"How to play?" Xiaozhu asked with a smile.
You hold my lapel, and I take you skating on the ice. We used to play like this when we were kids. I remembered it just now."
"Okay! But you are not allowed to cause trouble. If you let me fall, there will be no end!" Xiaozhu obviously has experience in this area.
"You are getting more and more cunning. Come on, I can't throw you at anyone." He said and walked onto the ice.
Xiaozhu grabbed his collar from behind, squatted down, and said with a smile: "With people like you, no matter how honest you are, you will be forced to use some tricks."
"Hurry up." He Ran took a step forward and gradually accelerated. Xiaozhu screamed excitedly, warning him to slow down.
It is very difficult to stand firm in this way of skating, not to mention that the ice surface is so small, and you have to keep turning. Xiaozhu fell down before turning in one circle, and He Ran also fell with him. The two laughed and got up. After playing again, since they were wearing thick clothes, it wouldn't hurt if they fell. After a while, both of them were sweating on their heads.
When I was having a great time, I suddenly heard Su Xiyao scolding me on the shore: "Okay, you two are getting more and more crazy. I asked you to come out to find him, but I didn't want you to play with him and hurt me." It’s all worry and worry in vain.”
Seeing his wife coming, Xiaozhu repeatedly urged He Ran to stop, but He Ran stopped too hastily, and the two fell into a ball again.
Xiaozhu lay on the ice and couldn't stand up for a while. He gasped and said, "When I came here, he was skating alone here. He had to drag me to play with him."[
He Ran didn't stand up either. He put his arms on the ice and looked at Su Xiyao and said, "Have you ever played like this? Come down and I'll take you to run two laps."
Su Xiyao raised her beautiful eyebrows, looked to both sides, and saw that none of the maids came out, and said, "Okay." Then her face showed excitement and joy, just like that day when she "stealed wine" demeanor.
Xiaozhu didn't expect that she would agree, so he giggled and climbed up to the shore to wait for the fun.
He Ran played with her carefully at first, but after a while he started to mess up. After throwing Su Xiyao twice, he was about to speed up and throw her again the third time. Unexpectedly, Su Xiyao was on guard and suddenly She let go of her hand. She had learned the art of lightening her body, and she stabilized her body in time. But He Ranke was in a terrible situation, and she slid straight to the shore like a dog eating shit.
Xiaozhu laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears.
When He Ran got up in frustration, Su Xiyao jumped lightly to the edge of the pond and said: "Come up quickly, Xiao Qing seems to be in trouble."
He Ran turned his head and saw his maid, Xiao Qing, hurriedly coming over here. He hurriedly arranged his clothes and left the ice.
It was the messenger from the army who came, He Ran walked quickly towards the front hall.
Not long after Su Xiyao returned to the house, He Ran also came back. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, Su Xiyao asked, "Are you okay?"
He Ran shook his head and said: "This Fan Bo is indeed a veteran general who is accustomed to fighting. It seems that he was not fooled. Xu Tong did not find that Zhao troops were following him, and he did not attack Dongfang Ao's camp."
"What should we do?" Su Xiyao asked with a frown.
He Ran smiled faintly and said: "I don't have much hope for this strategy. Let's wait and see. Xu Tong has already ambushed at a predetermined position and sent two thousand men to continue moving forward in a bluff. In two days, If Zhao Jun still hasn't moved, then this strategy can no longer be implemented. It's time to gather people and prepare for the next strategy. It won't be long before the news from Linchuan comes."
"Didn't you tell me earlier that this slow chess move would take several months to show its power?" Su Xiyao glared at him displeased, obviously that was another lie.
He Ran smiled and said, "I was exaggerating a little. Isn't that to coax you to move to the city?"
Su Xiyao didn't take it seriously either. He had lied too much and it was nothing. Suddenly there was a smile in his bright eyes and she said: "Let's go on skating. I think it's quite fun."
He Ran rubbed his arms and stared, saying: "Forget it, you were too cruel. I still feel pain from the fall. What kind of world is this? A good daughter of a duke must learn the art of making light of one's body, so her hands and feet are so agile." Who dares to marry me? I'm really unlucky."
"The emperor's righteous daughter's hands and feet are more agile than mine. Yes, Zhan Feng is more agile. You are unlucky enough. Let's discuss it later. Even if we don't leave the house, we have to leave one or two people." Su Xiyao said with a look on her face. Said sympathetically.
He Ran blinked and pretended to be anxious and said: "I should be the unluckiest person in the world, the reincarnated evil star. You must not leave. If you leave me, you won't be able to keep your reputation."
