After Yang Hu was released, he immediately gathered up the remaining troops, including Hu.
In the last battle, the opponent took advantage of the situation and directly took over the main camp. In terms of battle losses, only a few hundred people were lost.
Moreover, Yang Hu had already commanded the troops before, so this time he was defeated but not defeated. However, even so, it was almost impossible to attack the city rashly again.
After careful consideration, Yang Hu decided to withdraw the besieging troops and retreat ten miles to set up camp. He decided to hold on for the time being and wait for reinforcements.
Yang Hu also knew that although the troops in Yunyi City were no less than what he had on hand, there were no reinforcements.
Moreover, the food and fodder in the city is limited. After a little reorganization, he can rest and wait for work. By then, if he is trapped in it for another year and a half, Yunyi will be able to destroy itself without attacking.
However, after being captured last time, Yang Hu seemed to have more worries in his heart.
Just because he used the words of Li Ran, Confucius and others, there was a hint of coolness behind them.
Yes, no matter how you say it, the Ji family is a minister and the Marquis of Lu is a monarch. How can there be any reason in this world to use a minister to attack a monarch?
To put it bluntly, if Marquis Lu really died in his own hands, would he directly become the abandoned son of his master Ji Sun Yiru in the future?
By then, Ji Sun Yiru will directly pin all the charges of regicide on himself, so what should he do?
Therefore, thinking of these, Yang Hu had doubts about his own future and the family leader's orders for the first time.
Of course, he didn't want to be blamed for this inexplicably, even though this was probably what his master, Ji Sun Yiru, meant.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he became more worried. He knew that Lu Houchou could never die in his own hands.
Therefore, for him, if he can force Yunyi to collapse without attacking, and he can naturally capture Yunyi, this is the most perfect ending now.
However, how easy is it to achieve this goal?
Therefore, now that he has gathered his troops in one place, he is not worried that Lu Houchou will take the opportunity to escape. In fact, this has become his goal.
…
Soon, Yunyi also received information about Yang Hu's retreat.
After hearing this report, Tian Ruoju first spoke at the meeting in the camp:
"Very good! We can take advantage of the fact that Yang Hu's reinforcements have not arrived and our foothold is not yet stable to attack the enemy camp at night!"
"Yang Hu retreated and gathered his troops in one place, thinking that he was impregnable. Moreover, he had just been captured once, so he must have known that our army was tired and had not put up any defenses. We can take this opportunity to hit him again.
Caught off guard!"
When Sun Wu heard this, he also nodded and said:
"Well, it's true. Now Yanghu has two camps, the inner and outer. The inner camp is strong and the outer camp is weak. Maybe he can use another move to attack the east and attack the west, and attack the outer camp to lure the inner division to fight!"
Tian Juju's eyes lit up, and she felt deeply happy to face this outstanding young student. She couldn't help but put her hands on her hands and said with a smile:
"Wonderful, then we will attack the opponent's outer camp tonight as a pretext, and then we will lead most of the troops to attack the Yanghu inner camp!"
Han Buxin was smart enough to understand immediately, and then he couldn't help but ask:
"If that's the case, then it's scheduled for tonight?"
Tian Juanju wanted to take action tonight, but after all, not all of his soldiers were here, so it was difficult for him to make up his mind, so he did not speak directly at this moment.
Sun Wu saw Tian Ruoju's concerns at a glance and said immediately:
"We who are in the army are most afraid of not being able to work together. Sir Sima, in terms of seniority, military exploits, and age, the commander-in-chief here must be you. I hope Sir Sima will not refuse! Please give the order!"
It is no exaggeration to say that the soldiers in Yunyi are a mixed bag. There are the defenders of Qi, the people of Yunyi, the private soldiers of Tian Rangju, and the Han garrison of Han Buxin. Therefore, if there is no clear commander,
, this is indeed a problem.
Tian Juanju was indeed the oldest. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Ran again.
Li Ran also smiled calmly and said:
"Old General Tian will do his duty, there is no need to be too humble."
Tian Ruoju also smiled slightly when he heard this:
"Haha, in this case, it is better for Rangju to be respectful than to obey orders! As the saying goes, 'the general's heart, the heart, the public's heart, the heart. Horses, oxen, chariots, and soldiers, all have nothing but strength. Teaching is only about hesitation, and fighting is about integrity. General.
, Shen, pawn, branch, Wu, refers to Mu. 'For all soldiers, only proper coordination is the key to victory."
(The will of the general and the will of the soldiers must be unified. Horses, cattle and other animals as well as soldiers need to be well fed and rested. Vehicles and weapons must be properly maintained. Only in this way can we have combat strength. Training is focused on peacetime, and combat is focused on command. A general is like
The human trunk is like human limbs, and the fingers are like human fingers. They must be coordinated in order to be commanded and used freely.)
Therefore, Tian Ruju immediately issued a military order to let the soldiers rest immediately and cancel the afternoon training. Prepare to start at the You hour, set off at the Xu hour, and attack Yanghu at night!
In addition, Han Buxin was secretly ordered to serve as the main attacker at night. Han Buxin did not care about his status as a noble, and actually ate and lived with his own soldiers to boost morale.
Tian Ju was also afraid that Han Buxin would lead fewer men, so he allocated some of his private troops and temporarily placed them under Han Buxin's control. At the same time, he sent the Yunyi garrison led by Sun Wu himself to serve as the outer sheep attack.
As night fell, Sun Wu was the first to lead his soldiers out of the city, and then Han Buxin and Tian Rangju also sneaked out one after another.
The crescent moon is like a hook, and in the darkness, he silently walks towards the enemy camp.
Sun Wu's army itself was a sheep attack, so there was not much to hide during the march.
The important thing is that when the troops of Han Buxin and Tian Rangju approached, in order to avoid making noise, each of them bit a branch to avoid being frightened and making noise in the dark night.
Because the terrain is relatively flat, Yang Hu's camp is surrounded by a "square camp". The so-called square camp, as the name suggests, is a camp that looks similar to a square in appearance. The most important main force is in the middle of the square camp, and then in sequence
Spread outward, from heavy to light.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Moreover, the more elite soldiers are distributed on the periphery of the inner camp. In this way, even if there is a night attack, the most elite troops of the main force will have enough time.
Be prepared for battle, because these elite soldiers can withstand an attack.
Han Buxin led his troops into an ambush, while Tian Juanju went around to the back, preparing to set fire to Yang Hu's food and baggage.
As soon as it arrived at Xu Shi, I heard that Sun Wu was launching a night attack with great fanfare. But I saw a burst of fire from Sun Wu, and the Ji family camp suddenly burst into flames.
Yang Hu was rewarded, but he didn't take it seriously. He only ordered people to stabilize the situation, but did not send troops to rescue him. After all, Yang Hu also expected that this might be a plan by Sun Wu and others to divide their forces.
Speaking of this, Yang Hu was really quite knowledgeable, and he could see the clues at a glance.
At this time, it was rumored that the grain and grass baggage behind them was also on fire. When Yang Hu saw this, he still snorted coldly:
"It is indeed a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. How can I, Yang Hu, be fooled by such a small plan?"
Yang Hu was still sitting firmly in the tent, and he didn't seem to be panicking. As the coach, as long as he didn't panic, there would be no chaos below.
Han Buxin saw that the enemy's inner camp did not make any major movements, so he delayed his attack.
At this time, Yang Hu repeatedly received reports, saying that the enemy camp seemed to be the main force of the enemy. If they were delayed for a moment, they might not be able to withstand it!

Chapter 527_Two vertical tigers
Tian Ruoju led his troops around and burned Yang Hu's food and baggage, but pretended to retreat, as if their purpose was just to burn a handful of food and grass.
At this moment, Yang Hu couldn't figure out what the other party's purpose was. Did the other party really want to cut off his food supply?
Yang Hu couldn't help but feel guilty. In fact, not only was Yang Hu at a loss, most of his soldiers also didn't know what was going on. But when he saw that the general Yang Hu was also hesitant, he didn't dare to ask again.
On the other side, the strength of Yanghu's outer camp was not as good as that of the inner camp, so under Sun Wu's all-out attack, the soldiers stationed in the outer camp were unable to withstand it.
Therefore, Sun Wu successfully captured one side of the outer camp, and immediately used the war drums in his camp to beat five long and three short drum sounds.
This is exactly the message of victory that is conveyed to the outside world.
When a good general uses his troops, there must be reality within the imaginary, and emptiness within the reality.
Although Sun Wu's attack on the outer camp was a false move, they also knew that Yang Hu might not be easily fooled. So naturally, Sun Wu's false move turned into a real move.
Although the outer camp is not very important in the entire battle situation, losing the outer camp so easily obviously has a huge impact on morale.
Hearing that there was a loss in the outer camp, Yang Hu was furious and immediately ordered his troops, vowing to take back that outer camp.
At this time, Han Buxin also heard the sound of the drum and knew that the outer camp had succeeded directly, so he immediately ordered his people to spit out the branches in his mouth, and suddenly shouted for kill, and rushed straight towards him. Tian Ruoju actually also
He did not retreat far, but when he heard the sound of the drum, he turned around and came back directly to kill him.
Sun Wu occupied the outer camp and did not stop too long. He immediately reorganized his formation and ordered to attack Yanghu's main camp directly.
As a result, Yang Hu was surrounded by enemies on three sides, his food and grass were robbed, his outer camp was lost, and news of all kinds of defeats were suddenly reported.
The morale of the soldiers suddenly dropped to the lowest point, and they could no longer resist. Yang Hu put on his uniform and wanted to run around at night. However, his figure was really tall, and the flames of war were raging like daylight. He was quickly beaten by Tian Juan Ju
Go find it.
It can be said that Tian Ranju almost single-handedly defeated the Jin-Yan coalition and recaptured Acheng and Zhencheng, as well as the area on the south bank of the Yellow River. His reputation was so great that everyone in the world knew it.
Nowadays, although Tian Ranju is nearly sixty years old, his eyes are still as bright as ever. He saw him running straight towards Yang Hu. Although Yang Hu was young and powerful, when he saw Tian Ranju, he couldn't help but feel terrified.
Yang Hu only wanted to escape, but he was entangled by Tian Juanju. Once they fought, Yang Hu discovered that although Tian Juanju was old, his arm strength was still extremely heavy. For a while, he couldn't get any advantage.
After such a delay, Han Buxin and Sun Wu also heard the news and rushed to kill him. Yang Hu knew that the situation was over, and his face was ashen. He raised his sword and was actually about to draw his sword and kill himself. Sun Wu had quick eyes and quick hands and stepped forward to hold his sword.
Yang Hu looked around, feeling disheartened and said secretly:
"Since I, Yang Hu, have been captured by you once, and now I have been captured again, I no longer have the dignity to live in this world! Now I can only destroy myself here to repay the kindness of the family master!"
Sun Wu shook his head and said:
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Today you were defeated at the hands of Tian Sima. It can be regarded as a well-earned defeat. Why should you seek short-term consequences?"
When Yang Hu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
The sheep pretended to be ready to be captured, and Sun Wu was about to let go. Who would have thought that Yang Hu would raise his sword to commit suicide again!
When Sun Wu saw this, he couldn't help but knocked his sword to the ground.
"You have no face to see people! You have no face to see people!"
Yang Hu glanced at Tian Rangju again and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
After all, he thought Yang Hu was a dignified head of the Ji family, and he was considered to be both civil and military. But now he was being humiliated frequently, how could he endure it?
When Yang Hu was escorted to Yunyi City again, Li Ran looked at Yang Hu and asked calmly:
"Yang Hu, are you still convinced today?"
"Hmph! What's there to be convinced of? You just took advantage of me, Yang, who was just released and didn't have time to rectify my defenses, and suddenly caught me off guard. If you have the ability, let me go again!"
"Haha, okay! If that's the case, let me let you go again! However, you have been tired after a long night, so you must be hungry too? Why don't you eat something before leaving?"
Li Ran readily agreed to Yang Hu's request, which made everyone present look at each other.
However, thinking that Ji's reinforcements were about to arrive, even killing Yang Hu would not help, so he didn't say anything more.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, at this moment, Li Ran has another consideration.
The reason why he wanted to capture and release Yang Hu was because he understood very well the principle of "attacking the heart first".
But Yang Hu knew that he was now a turtle in a urn, so he simply "let it die".
Since you want him to eat and go, then eat!
Li Ran specially ordered people to prepare food and drinks, but Yang Hu had no worries and started eating and drinking directly.
And Li Ran was not idle at this time. While he was eating and drinking, Li Ran lost no time in trying to brainwash him:
"Yang Hu, when you were captured last time, I asked you, what should you do if your master is a virtuous one? What if he is an unworthy one? You didn't give an answer that day. I wonder if you will have an answer today?"
"The family minister dare not interfere in state affairs, Li Ziming, I know you have a sharp tongue, so don't talk to me again!"
Yang Hu looked unscrupulous and just munched on the roast chicken.
At this time, Confucius also spoke:
"Back then, when Nan Kuai came out of the Ji family, there was a saying: 'The retainers are in charge of the emperor, so there are people!' The meaning is that the retainers are not unable to comment on state affairs, but they have to observe the people. It's just a pity that Nan Kuai
It’s not his person, nor is he capable of doing it!”
Yang Hu glanced sideways at Kongqiu who was standing aside, and still replied with great disdain:
"Hmph! Kong Zhongni, I think you have always considered yourself a scholar. It's just that you didn't know etiquette when you were young, but later you secretly met with Nan Kuai and tempted him to rebel against the Ji family. Can such behavior be regarded as knowing etiquette?"
When Confucius heard this, he had nothing to say for a while. Mainly because Yang Hu's words hit the point directly.
It is undeniable that as far as Confucius was concerned, he was indeed extremely conflicted deep in his heart.
On the one hand, he certainly hopes to realize the ideal of "restoring etiquette" with the help of his retainers. But on the other hand, the behavior of retainers who rebel against their master is indeed inconsistent with etiquette and justice.
When Yang Hu saw that Confucius was silent, he knew that he was wrong, so he couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
"Li Ziming, you are wasting your efforts. Yang is not Nankuai, how can you be easily persuaded? Yang still advises you not to say more."
Li Ran was silent for a while:
"That being the case, what should we do if we are defeated again this time when we go back?"
"As the saying goes, you can do it once, but not again. If Yang is caught by you again, he will have no shame in living in this world. The only way is to die!"
Yang Hu said so confidently that he made everyone burst into laughter.
Li Ran couldn't help but sneer:
"Haha, that's wrong. Since Xiongtai is the head of the Ji family and has always been relied upon by everyone from top to bottom, wouldn't it be a pity if he lost his life here in vain?"
At this time, I could hear Confucius singing on the side very seriously:
"It's so difficult to have a full day without any intention! Isn't there anyone who can't play games? To do so, it's still a wise thing!"
The meaning of this part of Confucius's speech is: It's so difficult to have a full day without thinking about anything! Isn't there a game of chess? It's better to do this than to be idle!
In fact, Confucius was trying to point Yang Hu in the dark: He could have his own ideas, but he was willing to become a chess piece, taking orders from the Ji family. He was confused and idle all day long. He obviously had the talent to become a chess player, but why?
Why not join the game?
There are too many people in this world who think they are chess players, but in fact they do not have that ability and are reduced to chess pieces instead. And some people, obviously capable of making a difference, are willing to become chess pieces and have no desire to make progress.
When Yang Hu heard what they said, his heart couldn't help but move. While thinking about it, he slowly put down the food in his hand, drank a glass of water and wine in his hand, and wiped it directly
Mouth.
"gone!"
Yang Hu was still the same as last time, he stood up and left in a big way.
Seeing Yang Hu striding out, Han Buxin happened to come in. Seeing this, he couldn't help but stepped in and said angrily to Li Ranshi:
"Let him go this time. When reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to catch him again!"
When Li Ran saw Han Buxin, he couldn't help but stand up, but with confidence in mind, he smiled and bowed his hands to Han Buxin and said:
"Although he did not contribute to the battle, he did a lot of work for the soldiers. Today, Yang Hu was killed for the second time, and all the efforts of the soldiers were wasted. Li Ran felt very guilty. However, here I can express my gratitude to you.
Everyone promises that if we catch this person again, it will be the last time!"
After hearing what Li Ran said, although Han Buxin also complained, it was inconvenient to say more.
