Chapter 10 The Three-Day Covenant
Thanks to the "healyndo" friend for his reward
—————————————————
Qian Xiaoxing came to the army camp and immediately summoned everyone, including Zheng Chang.
Lu Shengzhong rushed over and said as soon as he met, "Seventh brother, have you thought of a solution?"
Qian Xiaoxing smiled cunningly and said, "I am going to lead the defenders of Qingyu City out again, hoping that the plan will be successful."
"Sima Chuchu has suffered a loss once. It is probably not easy to lure her out again." Lu Shengzhong said worriedly.
"Yes, but it depends on how we lead. Anyway, if we don't succeed, we won't lose much. Let's try it." Qian Xiaoxing said.
Shi Yeying said, "Just just now, we saw a spy from Qingyu City outside the camp. Xiaoxing, do you want to make a fuss about him?"
Lu Shengzhong said nervously: "What are you doing outside the camp for no reason? What if you encounter an enemy lurking around? This is too unsafe, so you are not allowed to go in the future!"
"Uh... Brother Zhong, I'll tell you what we're going to do." Qian Xiaoxing said a few words softly in Lu Shengzhong's ear, embarrassing Lu Shengzhong, you, you, you, me, me, I have been doing a long time, but I don't know how to answer.
Qian Xiaoxing then said to everyone: "My plan is like this: lure the soldiers of Qingyu City to rescue the prisoners. As long as we give Sima Chuchu a piece of information to take care of the prisoners, I think she will definitely try it. Now our mission is to break through Qingyu City. Sima Chuchu should not have thought that we would design a temptation plan."
"The plan sounds good, how do you implement it specifically?" Lu Shengzhong asked.
Qian Xiaoxing signaled the others to take the refining lamp and illuminate the map. He said while drawing the map with a stroke: "There is a spy from Qingyu City here. As long as we arrange for two people to run over to see him, lying that it was from the prisoner camp, and then fabricate some prisoner camps to take care of them. There is no information about the garrison around the prisoner camp to bring to Sima Chuchu. Whether to save the prisoners will depend on Sima Chuchu."
Lu Shengzhong came to the map to check it out and said, "Yes, in order to be more deceptive, we can station the surrendered army in this area, so that even if Sima Chuchuzhen arranges people to investigate the truth, it will not be exposed."
"Well, since you want to cheat, just do it better. I support Brother Zhong's idea." Qian Xiaoxing turned to Zheng Chang again and said, "General Zheng, you will arrange the prisoners who pretended to run out. You can quickly choose two, and hurry up and go there before the spies outside. If the spies can't find them, let them run directly to Qingyu City."
Zheng Chang kept listening to the side. Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing's seduction plan designed this time was very tempting. If he was the leader, he would probably be fooled again. Qian Xiaoxing was really cunning, but he began to admire him. After listening to Qian Xiaoxing's order, he immediately replied: "Okay, I'll arrange two people immediately."
Zheng Chang came to the prisoner camp, found two of his former subordinates, and ordered them as Qian Xiaoxing ordered. After hearing this, the two nodded and immediately ran out of the camp.
Looking at the two people's backs away, Zheng Chang was full of all kinds of feelings. He hoped that Sima Chuchu would not be fooled, saw through Qian Xiaoxing's plan, and hoped that Qian Xiaoxing's plan would be successful. After catching five thousand soldiers and surrendering, the brothers could be together and conquer the world with Qian Xiaoxing. He said to himself: "Chuchu, will you be fooled?"
In Qingyu City, Sima Chuchu was restless in the room. Qian Xiaoxing said that he had broken through Qingyu City within three days and rang in his ears over and over again. Based on Qian Xiaoxing's ability, it is impossible to simply determine that he was talking big.
What method would Qian Xiaoxing use to attack the city? Sima Chuchu was also thinking about various possibilities, and suddenly felt her eyelids twitch. Is it implying something?
"Report!" A soldier suddenly shouted outside the door.
Sima Chuchu calmed down and sat at the table and shouted, "Come in."
The soldier came in and said respectfully: "Sima Military Advisor, there are two soldiers outside who were captured by the Si army and ran back, and they were brought back by our scouts."
"Okay, call in quickly." Sima Chuchu was a little surprised. She was actually captured by Qian Xiaoxing and could still run back.
After a while, the two soldiers walked in and knelt down when they saw Sima Chuchu. Sima Chuchu immediately asked the two to get up and asked, "Are you the ones who were captured by Qian Xiaoxing? How did you run back?"
One of the soldiers replied: "General Zheng Chang asked us to surrender to Si State. Although everyone agreed on the surface, they were unwilling to do so. Seeing that we were more peaceful, the Si army reduced the guards, and reduced from the original five thousand guards to two thousand. We escaped at night. We happened to meet the scouts and came back with him."
Sima Chuchu thought for a moment, and the five thousand guards were reduced to two thousand, so where were the other three thousand people going? Are they preparing to launch an attack on Qingyu City? So he asked: "Do you know where Qian Xiaoxing's main force is?"
The soldier replied: "The main force has been taken away by Qian Xiaoxing, and it is far away from our captive camp, so we don't know the specific location."
Qian Xiaoxing gathered his troops and wanted to attack? Sima Chuchu was thinking about various possibilities. When the soldiers saw Sima Chuchu not speaking, they knelt down and said, "Sima Military Advisor, please save our other brothers. Although Qian Xiaoxing did not kill us, we would beat us if we didn't follow us. The brothers dared not speak out, and they all wanted to escape."
"Save people?" Sima Chuchu was reminded and immediately thought about it. According to the information reported by the two soldiers, only two thousand soldiers guarded the prisoner camp, and Qian Xiaoxing's main army was not on the side. If it was necessary to cooperate inside and outside during rescue, it would be very easy to rescue nine thousand infantry and three thousand cavalry.
But what can I do if I save the prisoner back to Qingyun City? Even if I save the prisoner, I will still be attacked by Hu Bing and Si Jun. It is still too difficult to survive in the cracks. I guess the final result will be destruction.
Sima Chuchu said to the two soldiers: "The matter of saving people needs to be discussed for a long time. You can go down first and let me think about it."
The two soldiers looked at each other and had to lean over and retreat.
Sima Chuchu wandered alone in the room, and whether to save or not, it made her struggle and unable to decide. Perhaps, the prisoners who surrendered to Si Jun did indeed follow the Si Jun as Zheng Chang said before, under the leadership of Qian Xiaoxing, the attack on Hu Guo will be smoother. Moreover, at present, the three forces of Hu Bing, Qingyucheng troops, and Si Jun were entangled, and only their own troops were resisting the other two sides at the same time. If this continued, they would definitely be eaten by them.
If the soldiers of Qingyucheng and the Si army gathered together to attack the Hu army, the situation would be different, and the chances of the Hu army being defeated would immediately be much greater.
Looking back at the time when Zheng Chang was persuading surrender at the city, he might have hated Qian Xiaoxing personally, so he didn't agree. Now I think he is really a little impatient.
However, since things have reached this point, we cannot bow our heads to Qian Xiaoxing easily. Thinking of this, Sima Chuchu already had plans in her mind, and the captives would not save them. I hope they would live a better life by relying on Qian Xiaoxing. However, Qingyu City still needs to be defended to see what Qian Xiaoxing has to do to break the city. If he still cannot break the city in three days, at least Qian Xiaoxing will lose to him. As long as he comes to admit defeat and let him fight for this tone, then whether to defect to Si Jun in the future can also be considered.
Looking out the window, the stars in the sky were twinkling, Sima Chuchu thought to herself, three days, three days left, Qian Xiaoxing, I must beat you.
Of course, what Sima Chuchu didn't expect was that because of her thoughts, she escaped a disaster, which should be enough for Qian Xiaoxing to be depressed.
Qian Xiaoxing hid in the grass on the side of the road for a night, and was still waiting for the troops from Qingyu City to come out to rescue the prisoners, but after looking through his eyes, no one came over.
Seeing that Qian Xiaoxing was already sleepy, Lu Shengzhong said, "Seventh brother, you go back to bed first, I can just keep an eye on here."
Qian Xiaoxing looked at the already dazzling sun, narrowed his eyes and said, "Does Sima Chuchu want to send troops during the day? This way, people are more likely to be exposed, so it shouldn't be."
"Maybe, she wasn't fooled at all, Seventh brother, go to bed first." Lu Shengzhong felt sorry for Qian Xiaoxing and couldn't help but urge him.
Qian Xiaoxing was dizzy and yawned and said, "Okay, I'll go to bed first. Brother Zhong, come back later, just let others stare at it."
Qian Xiaoxing fell asleep when he returned to the camp and slept until the evening before getting up. After waking up, he immediately asked if Qingyucheng had sent troops out, but the answer he gave him was no.
Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but feel angry. The plans he planned were basically successful. Unexpectedly, this time it was useless. Could it be that somewhere had a flaw?
It had been a day and a half. To be precise, if Qingyu City had not been attacked the morning after tomorrow, even if he lost the three-day agreement, Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but feel anxious.
Just as Qian Xiaoxing was strolling and thinking about his solution, Lu Shengzhong walked in. Seeing that his eyes were covered with blood, Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhong, have you not slept yet?"
Lu Shengzhong sighed and said, "Yes, I don't believe that Sima Chuchu won't fall into a trap, so I waited and waited, but I still didn't wait for them to send troops."
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhong." Qian Xiaoxing felt very sorry. It was really embarrassing that his plan failed. He couldn't help but say viciously: "Sima Chuchu, don't force me to use the trick!"
"Seventh brother, you still have some tricks. Let me tell you what your trick is?" Lu Shengzhong asked curiously.
"Actually, I thought of this method a long time ago, but I have never been willing to use it. I just use Zheng Chang and other troops who surrendered to us to attack Qingyu City. They are all their own people. I think Sima Chuchu can do it?" Qian Xiaoxing replied.
Lu Shengzhong thought for a while and said, "The method may be effective. However, as soon as Zheng Chang's troops surrendered to us, we asked them to attack the city and kill their own people. This will make them feel resistant. When they turn around and fight back, we will be in trouble."
"Yes, I'm not afraid to use this because of this, but I really can't break Qingyu City, and I have to go even if I don't go." Qian Xiaoxing said helplessly.
Lu Shengzhong shook his head and said, "Seventh brother, don't worry first. There is still time before the three-day appointment. Let's think of other solutions slowly."
"Okay, Brother Zhong, go to bed first, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." Looking at Lu Shengzhong's tired expression, Qian Xiaoxing said with concern.
Lu Shengzhong stood up and said, "Okay, I hope I will wake up early tomorrow morning and there will be good news."
Time passed quickly, and it was already evening. Qian Xiaoxing locked himself in the camp tent, thinking about ways to break the enemy. This time, Qian Xiaoxing was not looking at the map, but used wooden blocks to make a model of Qingyu City, thinking about how to break through.
While thinking seriously, he suddenly felt that he had been criticized for his clothes. Qian Xiaoxing looked back and saw Shi Yeying standing behind him. Qian Xiaoxing patted Shi Yeying's hand on his shoulder and said, "Thank you Sister Ying."
Shi Yeying said considerately: "Xiaoxing, go to bed early and study it tomorrow."
"It's okay, I've been sleeping for a day." Qian Xiaoxing's care for Shi Yeying was still warm. It seemed that Si Guo was good to form a female soldier, otherwise Shi Yeying would have no reason to stay in the military camp. Qian Xiaoxing saw all the men, and she was really going to be bored.
Shi Yeying smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to bed first, but I want to sleep in your bed, okay?"
"It's so beautiful. At night, I feel my arms are empty and I'm still not used to it. Sister Ying goes first and I'll come to sleep later." Qian Xiaoxing didn't think of a solution and was still a little stressed. Although she was beautiful, she still endured it.
Until late at night, Qian Xiaoxing finally got sleepy, climbed onto the bed and hugged Shi Yeying and fell asleep.
