During the day, although the Qi troops from the East Route under Tian Dan launched multiple attacks on Suxian County, in the end, Suxian County defender Wu Yuan still firmly defended the city and repelled the attacking army again.
This allowed the morale of the soldiers in the city to recover slightly after the northern city wall was destroyed by the Wei army yesterday.
But after repelling Tian Dan twice, the look on Wu Yuan's face became more and more solemn.
"Squeak."
With a soft sound, a general in armor opened the door and walked in. He asked Wu Yuan face to face: "Dongmen clan, were you the one who let him out of the city?"
Wu Yuan raised his head and glanced at the visitor, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on his face: In Suxian County, the only person who dared to be so rude to him was this deputy general "Yu Ji".
"It's me." Wu Yuan nodded, then raised his finger to the seat in the room, motioning for Yu Ji to sit down before talking.
Yu Ji was not polite and went straight to a chair and sat down.
He was seen leaning forward while sitting, with his fingers crossed on his knees. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "Wu Yuan, are you going to fight the enemy troops outside the city?"
"Why do you see that?" Wu Yuan's eyes showed a bit of surprise, although he also knew that the deputy general in front of him was not an ordinary person.
I saw Yu Ji raised his head and looked deeply at Wu Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "You let the Dongmen clan go, and in this way you obtained the property of the Dongmen clan. You probably plan to use this property to motivate the soldiers in the city.
?”
As he said this, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Because he knew that the soldiers in the city would be very happy after receiving the reward of the money, but they probably didn't expect that they might have the life to take the money, but they might not have the life to spend it.
The man named "Wu Yuan" in front of him clearly planned to use the Dongmen clan's huge property as bait to induce the regular soldiers in the city to fight the soldiers outside the city.
Although this move was commonly used by generals, Yu Ji didn't like it.
It's just that the current situation in his county prevents him from blaming Wu Yuan.
But he still couldn't stand Wu Yuan's tricks.
Just because Wu Yuan was a citizen of Wu and Yue, he never regarded himself as a Chu person. The reason why he was in the Chu army was just to repay General Xiang Mo's kindness back then.
Apart from this, the death of any Chu man in battle would not cause any mood swings for the foreign general.
"Today Tiandan is attacking the city, I feel something is wrong..."
After thinking for a moment, Yu Ji frowned and said: "It is obvious that there is a bigger gap in the north wall of Su County, but Tian Dan turned a blind eye and devoted himself to clearing the rubble obstacles on the south wall... Today's battle is not so much about
The Qi army stormed the city, it would be better to say that they were preparing something."
Seeing this, Wu Yuan did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Nine times out of ten, Tian Dan will attack the city tonight."
"Are you so sure?" Yu Ji looked at Wu Yuan in surprise. After all, although he had some doubts, he was not sure.
However, listening to Wu Yuan's tone, it seems that he is convinced of this.
After hearing this, Wu Yuan asked with a playful expression: "Are you asking Wu for advice?"
Yu Ji's complexion changed slightly, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Wu Yuan smiled slightly in his heart, and then said seriously: "Have you ever seen that there is a gap between the Wei army and the Qi army?... The attacks of these two armies on our Suxian County in the past few days were all caused by the Qi army's attack.
, the Wei army attacked day after day. It is not difficult to see that the commanders of the two armies, Wei Gongzi Run and Qi General Tian Dan, were unwilling to attack the enemy.
The credit for the capture of our Su County is shared with the other party... What's more, when the Wei army used a strange move to destroy the northern city wall of our Su County yesterday, Tian Dan also led a group of troops to watch on a slope outside the city.
At that time, the Wei army shouted with joy, and all the soldiers in our city lost their voices. However, there was no sound of joy from Tian Dan's side..."
What Wu Yuan said was reasonable and reasonable. Yu Ji nodded to express his conviction, and then asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with Tian Dan's attack on the city tonight?"
"Isn't this simple?" Wu Yuan heard this and said with a smile: "My Su County is riddled with holes right now. If the Qi army doesn't take it today, then tomorrow, the credit for capturing this city will go to the Wei army... It's easy to get credit.
How could Tian Dan be willing to give up?" After a pause, he added confidently: "I think that most likely, Tian Dan decided to win or lose tonight, so he gave you such an illusion during the day...
In fact, that is not an illusion, Tian Dan is indeed preparing for tonight's night attack."
Yu Ji suddenly realized what he said, but immediately, his face was filled with solemnity again, and he frowned and asked: "Do you want to ambush Tian Dan?"
"Hmm." Wu Yuan clenched his empty fist and said in a deep voice: "Those two people outside the city are both powerful enemies...Whether it is Wei Gongzi Run or Qi State's Tian Dan, they all make Wu feel afraid. If
If you can try to eliminate one of them, why not do it?" After a pause, he added: "Today during the day, Tian Dan still launched an offensive on the south city wall, but turned a blind eye to the better option of the north city wall. In my opinion, he
Most likely they want to paralyze our army..."
"You mean, Tian Dan will attack the northern city wall tonight?" Yu Ji frowned and said, "Isn't that the Wei army's territory outside the city? Since Tian Dan doesn't get along with Wei Gongzi Run, he shouldn't be so... shameless, right?"
When Wu Yuan heard this, he sneered and said: "If the king is successful and the enemy is defeated, if the Wei army captures this city, then Tian Dan will lose all face."
Yu Ji thought for a while, nodded clearly and said: "I understand. Tian Dan turned a blind eye to the North City Wall today and pretended to be disdainful of relying on the power of the Wei army. In fact, he knew very well that even if he relied on the Wei army to defeat the North City Wall,
With the gap created, it would be difficult for Tian Dan to attack the city while our army was prepared. Therefore, he deliberately attacked the south city wall during the day today to attract our army's attention and make our army mistakenly think that he could not let go of his dignity and steal the Wei army's victory.
, so he neglected to guard against the northern city wall so that he could attack the northern city wall at night."
"This is exactly the truth." Wu Yuan nodded and said: "Therefore, I am going to use the trick and deliberately let the Qi army enter the city. Then I set fire near the north city wall to cut off the Qi army's retreat. After that, I poured out the entire city's troops in one go.
Encircle and annihilate this Qi army!... If this battle goes well, the Qi army will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Even if there is still a Wei Gongzi Run outside the city, the situation in our county will improve a lot."
"Is this why you tried to get the money and property from the Dongmen clan?"
Yu Ji glanced at Wu Yuan with a strange expression.
Not to mention, for tonight's fight with the Qi army, even Yu Ji believed that Wu Yuan's decision to use the money to motivate the soldiers was indeed very wise.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Yu Ji didn't speak for a long time, Wu Yuan asked in confusion.
When Leng Buding was asked, Yu Ji was slightly startled, because he didn't want to praise Wu Yuan, so he excused himself and said: "I... I was wondering if Tian Dan would do the opposite and play a trick on me.
The army ambushed the city's troops in the north of the city, but he quietly attacked the south wall..."
"Huh?" Wu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and reached out to touch a small tuft of beard on his chin, with a look of deep thought in his eyes.
For a long time, he frowned and thought deeply: "It should...not happen. The gap in the south wall is much smaller than that of the north wall. Ruotian Dan really put the main attack here, and there will be a counterattack like you said."
If he does it this way, it will be much more difficult than attacking the northern city wall... It won't happen, it shouldn't happen."
However, it could be seen that Wu Yuan was not very confident about this, so he added: "Let's see, let Wu Kang lead 10,000 people to ambush in the south of the city tonight."
Wu Kang was a clansman of Wu Yuan and a general under his command. He was also a citizen of Wu and Yue. Although he was not very outstanding, he was steady and reliable. Therefore, even though Yu Ji and Wu Yuan were not getting along, he nodded in approval.
Candidate.
"Then I will defend the north of the city."
Yu Ji stood up, hugged Wu Yuan perfunctorily as before, and then turned around to leave.
However, at this moment, Wu Yuan flatly refused and said: "No, I will guard the north of the city myself! ...You go and guard the east gate."
Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, his expression a bit shocked.
You must know that Wu Yuan is the commander-in-chief of Suxian County, and he, Yu Ji, is the deputy-general, the general, and the second-in-command. How can it be that the commander-in-chief takes it seriously personally, while the deputy-general stayed behind after the war?
There was a hint of shame and annoyance on Yu Ji's face.
At this moment, Wu Yuan stood up and said without refutation: "Yu Ji, you are the general promoted by Xiang Mo. Xiang Mo once said to Wu that you are extremely talented and you are one of the top generals.
Cai. In this case, you must not be buried here... If anything happens tonight, you will abandon the city immediately and go to Xiang Mo. You must persuade him to abandon the talisman and leave the fortress to break out to the south!"
After hearing this, the expression on Yu Ji's face was really wonderful. He was ashamed, annoyed, moved, indignant, and many emotions merged into one place.
"This is an order! Vice General Yu!"
Wu Yuan ordered without refutation.
"..." After taking a deep look at Wu Yuan, Yu Ji slowly turned around and said in a complicated tone: "Even so, I won't be grateful to you for this!"
After that, Yu Ji left the house.
Looking at Yu Ji's back as he left, Wu Yuan snorted lightly and didn't care.
He sat back on the chair and slowly closed his eyes. Two faces vaguely appeared in his mind, one old and one young. Their faces were somewhat similar to Yu Ji's.
Those were Yu Ji's father and brother. They were both killed in the battlefield where Chu State attacked Wu Yue, and they all died in the hands of Wu Yuan.
"It's a good thing."
Wu Yuan said secretly.
The sky gradually fell, and it was Haishi in a blink of an eye.
Just as Wu Yuan was recharging his energy in the city guard's mansion, waiting for the night attack of the Qi army, suddenly a messenger came in a hurry to report.
"General! General Wu (Kang) ordered Xiao to come and report that the Qi army has indeed come to attack the city and is currently attacking the south of the city!"
"Ugh!"
Wu Yuan nodded and waved his hand to dismiss the messenger.
Immediately, he stood up, put on his armor and helmet, picked up his sword, walked out of the city guard's house, and headed to the north of the city with some soldiers.
After all, in his opinion, the main force of Tian Dan's night attack on his county should be on the north city wall.
Sure enough, when Wu Yuan arrived in the north area of the city, he immediately heard that the northern city wall had also been violently attacked by the Qi army. At this moment, the Qi army had broken through the city wall and attacked the city.
In this regard, Wu Yuan did not panic. After all, this was a tactic he arranged. Whether it was beating a dog behind a closed door or catching a turtle in an urn, he actually deliberately let the Qi army enter the city. Otherwise, the Qi army would not have been able to kill him so easily.
Enter the city.
"I wish Tian Dan could come here in person."
The corner of Wu Yuan's mouth raised a bit of a sneer.
At the same time, on a hidden high slope somewhere outside the city, several dark figures were quietly paying attention to the changes in Suxian County.
Immediately, there was a slight chuckle.
"Hey! Just as His Highness expected, Tian Dan attacked Su County at night..."
