In the camp, Xiao Ye had just taken off his armor when he saw Xu Qing coming over with Xiao Ruxue.
Xu Qing handed the patrol route in his hand to Xiao Ye and said, "Brother Xiao, this is the patrol route I set. Take a look."
Xiao Ye carefully read the paper handed over by Xu Qing and said, "Brother Xu is becoming more and more familiar with the camp patrol."
Xu Qing said, "If there is no problem with this patrol route, let's arrange the camp defense affairs like this tonight."
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "I think we should increase the number of patrols to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp. I didn't expect that the grassland would send so many people to deal with our Chu country. They really think highly of us."
Xu Qing said: "Well, let's do what Brother Xiao wants. Our country of Chu is the country with the strongest military force among the three countries in the Central Plains. It is normal for the grassland to attach such importance to it."
Xiao Ye said; "When we set up camp, I went to the front and used a telescope to observe the camp patrol route of the grassland army. It can be said that it is watertight, the advance and retreat are orderly, and the rules are strict. It seems to be elite. Such a defense arrangement, if it is a large army
Rushing into the formation will immediately disturb them. In a head-on confrontation with the prairie cavalry, even if we win, it will only be a miserable victory. It is my first time to take charge of the army, and I don't want to do something like this, killing a thousand enemies and damaging myself eight hundred."
Xu Qing said, "As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in every battle. If we can send someone to catch a few tongues at night and come back for interrogation, we will definitely be able to get useful information. If we know the enemy's secret code and where the food and supplies are stored, we will
It will be much easier to start again."
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "Brother Xu's words make sense. I will make arrangements when night falls."
Look, he just said it was reliable to bring Brother Xu out, right?
With Brother Xu here, what more brains do you need?
When you encounter a problem, calling "Brother Xu" is more effective than anything else, isn't it?
…
late at night
The third prince and the fourth prince quietly walked out of the camp and walked a long way on tiptoe. Then they looked around and finally found a relatively leeward slope to huddle down and breathe the air.
At this time, they were dressed like ordinary soldiers, which was completely different from the majesty they had when they led and commanded the army.
The fourth prince looked at the third prince and whispered: "Third brother, I heard that the Chu army has already set out and can attack at any time."
The third prince said, "You think I don't know? We only have a small number of people here. I heard that Chu Guoguang's cavalry has been expanded to ten or twenty thousand. If they come over then, won't we die without a burial place?"
The fourth prince sighed and said with a bitter look on his face: "Father Khan asked us to stay here, which is really close to death. When the tens of thousands of Chu cavalry charge like this, I am afraid that all of us will be killed."
Grind it into meat patties,"
The third prince gritted his teeth and said, "You think I didn't think of it? Otherwise, why would I bring you out?"
The fourth prince was suddenly surprised and said: "Third brother, have you thought of a way out?"
The third prince said: "We of the Wanyan tribe don't want to go back. The damn Pantu tribe and the Dalai tribe. If they hadn't come to put pressure on the Khan, we wouldn't be in this situation. One day I will
Cut them into pieces!"
The fourth prince said, "Third brother, there are tens of thousands of people in their tribe, how can we have that ability..."
The third prince said, "We can't do it, but that doesn't mean we can't kill someone with a borrowed knife..."
The fourth prince asked: "What does third brother mean?"
The third prince said, "Let us sneak out of the camp quietly now and tell the Chu State the location of the tents of the tribal leaders of the Dalai and Pantu tribes, and then tell the Chu State the truth and falsehoods here. Not only can we borrow swords to kill people, but we may also
You can also get a share of glory and wealth!"
The fourth prince was surprised and said: "What? Third brother, are you going to do a Pantu? If you are discovered, you will definitely die."
The third prince snorted coldly and said: "Death is certain? Isn't it certain that we are here? We only have so many people. When the Chu army comes, not only will we be dead, but we will also be trampled to pieces by the horses! You
Have you forgotten? Once the enemy attacks, we have to rush to the front."
The fourth prince said in a trembling voice: "Then third brother... the eldest brother died in their hands... they are at odds with us."
The third prince knocked the foresighted fourth prince on the head. "Didn't you understand that when I asked you to let the army attack at the border of Zhou State, you knew how to fight with your last ditch? Why are you so timid now?"
The fourth prince said honestly, "I almost lost my life because of that time..."
The third prince said, "I tell you the truth, it was his fault that my eldest brother was killed by the Chu State. If he had not died in the Chu State, after more than ten years he succeeded his father Khan, we would be the first to be killed."
, we should be happy that he is dead. We just show brotherly love in front of Father Khan on weekdays. Do you really think of him as your eldest brother? If you don’t leave, I will leave. You can stay here and die by yourself."
The fourth prince immediately grabbed the third prince's hand and said: "Third brother...I'm going, I'm going with you..."
The third prince nodded and said, "When we are in the Chu army, we won't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives."
Just when the two of them were taking action, their vision suddenly went dark, and then they were gagged, and finally they were carried up...
Then I felt something hit on my head and lost consciousness.
…
"Why is the tongue so easy to grasp this time? Before we even got very far into the camp, we saw two idiots."
"Who says it's not the case? These two idiots chattered a lot like birdsong. I thought these two fools deliberately spoke so loudly just to lure us into taking the bait, which made me touch the entire five-mile radius.
I didn't even see any of the ambushes, so all the trouble was in vain."
"That's right. I thought he was wise and foolish, but I didn't expect that he was completely stupid."
"They are talking so loudly at night. Is there something wrong with these two guys' minds? Can we get the information we want if we take them back?"
"I can't control that much anymore. These two are not good enough. I'll catch a few more next time."
"Be prepared to catch them next time. I think there is probably some serious disease in their brains."
Since the person who came to catch his tongue couldn't understand the prairie dialect, he simply knocked him unconscious and carried him to the camp for interrogation by His Royal Highness.
From their point of view, if they ran out so far in the middle of the night, these two guys were probably deserters, and they were seriously ill deserters.

Chu army's tent
At this time, Xiao Ye, Xu Qing, and Xiao Ruxue were roasting mutton around a bonfire in an open space. Of course, Xu Qing was roasting it, and Xiao Ruxue and Xiao Ye were eating it.
A large piece of mutton, when it is roasted, scrape a little off and put it in your mouth. The tender mutton has the aroma of roasting, and it is delicious with a little seasoning.
Xiao Ye finished eating a piece and was about to praise Xu Qing's craftsmanship when he saw Xiao Ruxue holding a small piece of meat with two fingers and putting it into Xu Qing's mouth with a happy face...
Suddenly he felt a strong feeling of fullness.
Just as Xiao Ye turned around, a voice came from far and near:
"His Royal Highness, Third Commander! The tongue is captured!"
