After coming out of Yangcheng Jun Xiong Tuo's handsome tent, Qu Cheng returned to the tent where he lived.
As soon as he entered the tent, Gu Liangwei and Wuma Jiao, who lived in the same tent as him, immediately raised their heads and stared at the former with uncertain expressions.
It's no wonder, after all, Gu Liangwei and Wuma Jiao originally lacked trust in Qu Cheng. In addition, recently, Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, summoned Qu Cheng alone many times. Gu Liangwei and Wuma Jiao had some doubts in their minds.
Worry.
It seems that this guy did not report the two of us in front of Xiong Tuo...
Gu Liangwei glanced solemnly at the shaking tent and saw that nothing unusual had happened. Then Gu Liangwei breathed a sigh of relief.
It has to be said that every time Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, summoned Qu Cheng alone without taking them with him, Gu Liangwei and Wuma Jiao were a little uneasy.
"He...summoned you for this?"
Seeing Qu Cheng sitting down on the edge of the bed opposite, Gu Liangwei couldn't help but ask.
Qu Cheng sat on the edge of the bed, supporting his hands and arms on his knees, looking at Gu Liangwei and Wuma Jiao with an unpredictable look. When the two seemed a little impatient, he slowly said: "It's nothing.
, it’s just that I can’t make a decision, whether I should continue to fight against the Wei army, or disperse the army and divide it into garrisoned in various cities.”
Gu Liangwei's face changed slightly when he heard this. He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly realized something and turned to look at Wuma Jiao.
Wu Majiao understood and walked around outside the tent pretending to be nonchalant, then returned to the tent and nodded towards Qu Cheng and Gu Liangwei.
Seeing this, Gu Liangwei lowered his voice and asked Qu Cheng, "Xiong Tuo plans to withdraw his troops?"
Qu Cheng nodded and lowered his voice and said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this battle is getting harder and harder for Xiong Tuo... You two may not know that Zi Che Yu is dead."
…
When Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at each other in inexplicable horror.
"Excuse me, is the news true?"
Qu Cheng glanced at Gu Liangwei and hummed: "Xiong Tuo was furious in the commander's tent for this."
Gu Liangwei opened his mouth and asked in disbelief: "Didn't Zi Cheyu lead 30,000 soldiers to attack Daliang by boat? Why did he die?"
Qu Cheng shrugged at this: "The Wei people had already built a dam on the Cai River to store up enough water. They were on guard against Zi Che Yu's move. As a result, Zi Che Yu ran into the trap set by the Wei people.
, only 6,000 or 7,000 of the 30,000 soldiers fled back to the camp in a hurry, and the rest were wiped out, even Zi Che Yu was killed on the spot."
"Have a good death." Gu Liangwei lowered his voice and said in a joyful tone.
It's not that he was gloating about his misfortune, it was just that they had surrendered to the Wei State and had no retreat in the Chu State. In this case, they seemed to hope that the Wei army would become stronger. However, Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, was getting weaker and weaker.
Therefore, even Wu Majiao couldn't help but interjected: "I really hope that one can defeat Xiong Tuo as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too much to live such a frightened life every day..." At this point, he suggested hesitantly
: "The news of Zi Cheyu's death will spread throughout the army, which will definitely destabilize the morale of the army. Otherwise, we will take this opportunity to set fire to the camp?"
"Set fire to the camp at this time?" Gu Liangwei frowned, looking at him as if he was thinking carefully.
Seeing this, Qu Cheng couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself: How could the four of them set fire to such a huge Chu camp?
Just kidding, this is a camp with nearly 100,000 people. It is simply a fantasy to set fire to the entire camp under the eyes of the patrolling Chu soldiers.
Don't forget that before the fire was ignited, the Chu soldiers had already regarded them as traitors and taken them to the handsome tent of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo.
Thinking of this, Qu Cheng quickly interrupted: "You two don't want to do anything. Qu has already made arrangements for setting fire to the camp."
"You?" Gu Liangwei looked at Qu Cheng in surprise.
You must know that in his opinion, Qu Cheng, a nobleman of the Chu State, willingly surrendered to the Wei State. This is an incredible thing in itself, let alone taking the initiative to plan for the Wei State.
In Gu Liangwei's mind, I believe that this guy Qu Cheng is most likely just sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Let's first look at the victory or defeat of the Wei army and Xiong Tuo army, and then decide whether to surrender to Wei or stick to the Chu camp.
After all, Qu Cheng was a general trusted by Lord Pingyu Xiong Hu and a nobleman of the Chu State. His escape route was undoubtedly much wider than that of Gu Liangwei, Wuma Jiao, and Wu Ji.
Seeing Gu Liangwei and Wu Ma Jiao looking at him with distrustful eyes, Qu Cheng felt a little depressed, so he told them all the suggestions he proposed to Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo.
Hearing this, the two of them were moved and secretly speechless.
It is undeniable that Qu Cheng's move to push the boat forward was simply amazing. It was like setting fire to the entire camp in front of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo. What was even more clever was that this move not only did not arouse Xiong Tuo's suspicion, but actually deepened it.
gained Xiong Tuo's trust in him.
The only thing worth pondering is how the Wei army in the Yanshui camp, or rather His Highness Prince Su of Wei, responded to the fire when it broke out.
Thinking of this, Wu Majiao couldn't help but said: "If that person really thinks that our army is mutinied and has a civil strife, and takes the opportunity to come to attack at night, wouldn't it be counterproductive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Liangwei looked at Qu Cheng with distrustful eyes, frowned and said, "Or maybe, this is actually your original intention of Qu Cheng?"
Looking at the distrustful eyes of the two men, Qu Cheng shook his head wordlessly and said angrily: "You two really think which one is so easy to deceive?"
Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao looked at each other, their distrust of Qu Cheng gradually fading away, but they were still a little worried.
"What if, I mean what if... it backfires?"
"If not, do you have any other ideas? ... Believe it, I believe that one will not be stupid enough to take the opportunity to attack at night."
"..." Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao thought for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
Qu Cheng was right, this was the best way. Only by using this method could they have a chance to burn down the entire Chu camp and complete the task assigned to them by Zhao Hongrun.
As for whether Zhao Hongrun can use this opportunity to severely damage Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo, that is actually not something they should consider.
"Let's do it!" Gu Liangwei gritted his teeth and decided.
After saying that, he looked up at Qu Cheng and asked, "What should we two do?"
After hearing this, the expression on Qu Cheng's face suddenly became serious, and he whispered: "The whole plan is like this. Xiong Tuo handed over the ambush to Zaifugen, and asked a certain person and Lian Bi to work together to do the secret service in the camp.
This scene...when the time comes
There will be soldiers of the Xiong Tuo Army who deliberately provoke those Chu soldiers who were captured by the Wei Army and provoke a conflict between the two." At this point, he lowered his voice and said: "I want you two to find a way to intensify the two and make the show fake.
Really do it.”
Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao looked at each other, with strange smiles on their faces: "Leave this matter to the two of us."
Intensify the conflict between the soldiers of Xiong Tuojun and the former Xiong Hu, and make the fake show come true? This is too simple. Just take advantage of the chaos and kill a few soldiers of both sides, and the whole scene will immediately become unbearable.
After that, the three of them discussed in a low voice.
In the evening, Qu Cheng was summoned away by someone sent by Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng.
This means that the drama is about to take place.
As the sky gradually darkened, Gu Liangwei and Wuma Jiao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"What if. I mean what if, what if that one really leads an army to attack at night..." Wu Magiao looked at Gu Liangwei hesitantly.
I guess Gu Liangwei was also worried about this matter. However, after pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "If there is any chance, when that person loses to Xiong Tuo, we can only find a way to get rid of him."
That person...as long as that person dies, there will be no evidence to prove it!"
That person... Pingyujun Xiong Hu?
Wu Majiao glanced at his companions with a horrified expression, and then gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
The sky is getting darker and darker.
Waiting for the sun to completely set, piles of bonfires were lit in the Chu camp as usual.
After another hour or so, the Chu soldiers in the camp went to each camp one after another and lined up like a long queue at the place where food was distributed.
While they were lining up, some Chu soldiers suddenly started fighting for some reason.
Coming...
Gu Liangwei and Wuma Jiao glanced at each other.
At this time, they had already received the food. Seeing this scene, they quickly accelerated their eating speed.
After all, this big show has to last at least an hour. If you don’t hurry up and eat now, you won’t have this chance later.
By the time the two of them finished eating the food in their bowls, the chaos in the Chu camp had expanded to hundreds of people.
At the same time, a group of Chu soldiers deliberately used torches to set fire to many wooden buildings in the camp, and even many of the military tents were set alight.
The wind was not light that night, and the gusts of night wind helped increase the intensity of the fire. In a short period of time, fires broke out all over the Chu camp and burned ragingly.
Even from a distance of more than twenty miles, one could vaguely see the light of the fire rising into the sky.
No, the scene of flames soaring into the sky near the Chu camp was indeed noticed by the Wei soldiers who were on duty on the wall of the Yanshui camp, and they quickly reported the matter to Zhao Hongrun.
At this time, in the Wei camp commander's tent, Zhao Hongrun was playing chess with Baili Ba, Meng Wei and others.
Since there was really nothing to do these days, Zhao Hongrun simply asked Meng Wei to polish a chessboard for them, and polished two boxes of chess pieces with leftover materials, so as to pass the time by playing chess.
With Zhao Hongrun's chess skills, Bailiba was no match for him. Every time he was killed, he lost his armor.
No, Bailiba seemed to have lost this game again, but just when he was about to surrender, a Wei soldier came to the commander's tent to report that there were fires 20 miles away, and it was suspected that the Chu camp was compromised.
.
"Wait?" After hearing the news, Bailiba sneered and snorted, shaking his head slightly.
He secretly thought to himself: Are all the Chu soldiers in the Chu camp dead? Will they watch the camp catch fire? Who can be concealed by such a crude trick?
But then he thought about it again, and Bailiba hesitated again.
After all, according to his understanding, Zhao Hongrun had ordered Qu Cheng and four other Chu surrendered generals to find ways to burn down the camp of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo. If it was really what they did, then this time would undoubtedly be a great opportunity for their Wei army.
"Your Highness, why don't you send someone to investigate?"
Bailiba put forward the most prudent suggestion.
But if you think about it carefully, he, who is good at fighting, would never have rashly sent out troops to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Chu's camp at night without finding out the truth.
However, regarding Bailiba's suggestion, Zhao Hongrun smiled and shook his head: "No need."
As he spoke, he slowly threw the chess pieces on the chessboard back into the wooden jar one by one.
"The last piece of the puzzle...is complete!" (To be continued.)
