At this point, Vice General Zhou didn’t want to give Prince Jin face, let alone tolerate him!
"How dare you say such a thing, Vice Admiral Zhou! I am just unlucky and fell into Feng Lingtian's way. Feng Lingtian is too cunning. What does this have to do with me?"
Although King Jin said this, he felt very guilty in his heart.
When all the soldiers heard this, they stared at King Jin angrily, wishing to skin him and remove his bones!
King Jin himself was inferior to others in skill and had killed so many people. He is shirking responsibility here. He is really unrepentant.
Vice General Zhou sneered, "Does Your Majesty think that people still need to talk to you about friendship during a war?
Isn’t that what war is like?
Now, my lord, you still have something to eat, but you are still picky here. Where are those dead soldiers?
Why did they deserve it?
They don’t even have a chance to find fault!”
After hearing this, everyone looked at King Jin with even more anger!
King Jin was a little frightened when he saw everyone's eyes, and then said: "I...I don't want this either. How could I know that Feng Lingtian can cheat?
At worst, I will give you half a chicken, okay?"

Lotus mountain
Chu Xuanchen came to Yanzhou with only 50,000 soldiers and horses, which was half the number than Feng Lingtian.
In order to scare Feng Lingtian, he announced that he had brought one hundred thousand troops.
There is a saying in the art of war: The art of war is deceitful! The way to use war is to be ever-changing and unexpected!
When he has more troops, he will hide his strength; when he has less troops, he will naturally bluff and exaggerate his strength. This is a strategic tactic!
However, Feng Lingtian will definitely send scouts to the military camp to investigate, so if he wants to deceive the scouts, Chu Xuanchen must make some preparations first.
First of all, we can judge how many people there are by the number of camps.
There are about a thousand soldiers in a camp, so when Chu Xuanchen ordered people to set up camp, he deliberately ordered people to set up twice as many camps and put military flags on each camp.
At night, he also sent people to light a bonfire in front of the camp to create the illusion that there was someone in the camp.
Secondly, counting the army's stoves can also determine their number, so when Chu Xuanchen ordered people to dig stoves, he specifically asked them to dig twice as many stoves.
During the day, they lit all the stoves, letting the thick smoke scatter in the sky, and the smoke from the cooking pots curled up, creating the illusion that there were many of them.
After quickly building defenses, Chu Xuanchen also sent soldiers to drive horses to raise dust, and had soldiers transport grain and grass on a large scale to confuse the enemy.
In this way, the enemy will believe that they really have 100,000 troops.
The art of war is inherently empty and virtual, real and real.
He wanted to tell Feng Lingtian that his Chu army had strong soldiers and horses and was powerful and should not be underestimated!
.
Sure enough, after inspecting the Chu army's camp and military stoves, the Tiansheng Kingdom's scouts hurried back to report to Feng Lingtian.
He said: "Prince, according to my observation, it seems that the Chu army really has 100,000 troops!"
Feng Lingtian narrowed his eyes in disbelief, "I am bringing one hundred thousand, and he, Chu Xuanchen, is also bringing one hundred thousand?
The Emperor of Chu had never trusted him, so how could he give him so many troops?
Are you sure you read that correctly?"
The scout said: "No, I counted their camps and military stoves and found that their camps were vast and continuous. It seemed like there were one hundred thousand people stationed there.
Not only that, I also saw them riding horses and training. Wherever the Chu army went, there was thick smoke and dust everywhere, and there were soldiers transporting grain and grass in batches, as if they would never be able to finish it.
.
It can be seen from this that the Chu army has a hundred thousand troops, which may not be an illusion!"
Hearing this, Feng Lingtian gritted his teeth coldly.
