Many people couldn't sleep well that night, Chang Yu was one of them, and he was even extremely embarrassed. The temporary straw hut built in the camp was fine for light rain, but the sudden heavy rain in the early morning caught everyone off guard. Fortunately, Su Jing took out a raincloth from his luggage and put it on the hay hut to prevent him from getting soaked in the rain.
Fortunately, the rain became lighter and cleared up at dawn. Chang Yu got out of the hut and turned to look at the night devil squatting in the corner and taking a nap. He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and turned towards the river to wash up.
There were already many soldiers washing up by the river. They all looked tired and it was obvious that they had suffered a lot last night. This made Chang Yu regret his willfulness a little. It would be great to enter the city.
But then I thought about it, it was also a good opportunity to train and let these northern soldiers taste the hardships of the south. After all, the next few months or even half a year would have to be like this, so let them experience it first.
Li Muxian emerged from nowhere, but he was very clean. He looked up at the sky, pinched his fingers and muttered for a long time: "The rain has passed, and the weather will be fine in the next few days."
Chang Yu looked around, seeing puddles everywhere, and couldn't help but frown: "The sky is good, but the earth is not. It doesn't matter if we don't fight, but if we fight... we'll get dirty."
Ahem, cough, cough, Li Muxian's eyes were red from being choked. He gave me whatever he wanted, and he was still playing the trick of mysophobia.
"Mr. Factory Master, if Wang Zamao doesn't come at noon, can we attack him?" Lao Jiu came over after washing up: "Should we go directly to his lair or go to the north branch?"
Chang Yu thought for a moment: "Whether he can handle Wang Tizhong or not, Wang Zamao has been demoted, so you don't need to raid his lair. Then let's just go to the city and discuss it later."
"But what if he just pretended to surrender or he was killed by Wang Tizhong?" Li Muchian asked while stroking his beard. Chang Yu squinted at the Wuhu City in the distance: "If this is the case, let Lu Daqi advance immediately, and we will attack from the side. To help that obstacle, remove it first."
"Ah, why don't you just raid his lair, that would save trouble!" Lao Jiu thought to himself, maybe he blamed Wang Zamao for not sleeping well all night, and always wanted to vent his anger to him.
"He still has four to five thousand men. When cornered, he will fight to the death. We only have three to four hundred men, and the gain outweighs the losses. Moreover, we are easily surrounded and attacked by the bandits from the north, so it is better to kill the watchdog first and then join forces with Lu Daqi." It's a good deal for soldiers to raid his lair."
Lao Jiu remained silent, and Li Muchian asked with a smile: "Your Excellency, you think Wang Zamao might persuade Wang Tizhong to surrender. Will there be any surprises?"
Chang Yu shook his head: "There are too many variables here. I see that Wang Zamao has a traitorous look on his face. He must be a villain. Surrendering or not is still a matter of two opinions. Whether he can convince Wang Tizhong is another matter, not to mention He may not want to convince Wang Tizhong."
Li Muxian was startled, then realized: "What you are saying is that Wang Zamao actually wants to kill Wang Tizhong, so that his worth will rise."
Chang Yu laughed: "Would you be like this?"
Li Muxian nodded: "Yes, it would be a surprise if he really killed Wang Tizhong, then I would like to congratulate the Lord Governor."
Hey, Chang Yu looked up at the sky: "It stands to reason that this guy should be able to succeed, but...it still depends on God's will." Li Muxian and keenly grasped a certain point: "What the adults are talking about logically means..."
"Ahem, cough, cough, it's the governor who had a dream. He dreamed that Wang Ti Zhong was killed by Wang Zamao. I hope it comes true." Li Muchian said oh, half convinced.
At around noon, the peripheral police sentry came to report: Wang Zamao sent someone to deliver a message. Chang Yu was a little surprised and made an appointment to come to see him at noon. Could it be that there was an accident? Or was it an unexpected surprise?
The thief sent to deliver the message did not dare to look Chang Yu in the face. He lowered his head and said: "General Wang is ten miles to the west." Chang Yu frowned after shooing him away: "It seems that things are complicated."
"Why do you say that, sir?" Li Muchian asked.
"If he succeeds, whether he convinces Wang Tizhong or kills him, he will be over the top by now, so why should he be so cautious and deliberate?"
Everyone nodded and speculated about various possibilities. Not long after Kuang Ren came back, he sent people to check that there were hundreds of bandit troops ten miles to the west. There was no ambush for several miles.
"We want to see what changes have occurred, Chang Yu hummed" and led his troops to go. Night Demon patted his horse and approached and whispered: "I will help you kill that King Ti Zhong."
Chang Yu was startled: "We'll discuss it later."
Half an hour later, Chang Yu and Wang Zamao met again. The little eunuch was still in high spirits after a night, but Wang Zamao looked tired. When he saw Chang Yu, he looked impatient: "Wang Ti Zhong is planning something." you".
Ah, Chang Yu was startled, and then he laughed: "Tell me how he plans to plot against the governor. It seems that he would rather die than surrender."
"No, no, no, he also wanted to surrender, but he felt it would be shameless..." Wang Zamao told everything about his meeting with Wang Tizhong last night. He was quite unreserved, and he didn't forget to take pictures after he finished speaking. He promised on his chest: "I am determined to surrender, and I am yours now. Does this, does this count as meritorious service?"
"Forget it, but it's not a very impressive skill. Even if you don't say that Wang Ti Zhong still can't count on the governor." Chang Yu was quite speechless after hearing Wang Ti Zhong's plan. If you want to surrender, you will be happy. Surrender, I hope you refuse to shave your head for the sake of your integrity and you won’t kill the donkey, but if you always want to cause trouble, don’t blame it for the rabbit that will die and the dog will be cooked in the future.
Wang Zamao rubbed his head: "I also know that it is not a big achievement, but what to do now? He asked me to fake a surrender and withdraw the troops to lure your people over, and then he secretly crossed the water from the southwest of Wuhu to ambush..."
"It's not difficult. You just do what he said. If he wants to see the governor's ability, then let him open his eyes." Chang Yu smiled coldly: "You can just watch by then, or you can take advantage of the situation."
"How dare you kid to take advantage of the situation? Admiral, I really want to surrender. I won't do anything like betraying you." Wang Zamao was about to swear again. Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "What I said was that you asked me to surrender." Take advantage of him and rob him."
"Oh, that's okay!" Wang Zamao breathed a sigh of relief: "I've seen that he was in trouble a long time ago. He did one thing overtly and another secretly. He even had murderous intentions towards me last night."
"Then have you ever had murderous intentions towards him, and never thought about killing him and getting a big reward?" Chang Yu smiled half-heartedly, and Wang Zamao readily admitted: "Of course you have thought about it. To be honest, I was thinking about it last night. I took the opportunity to do what I did to him, but he was already on guard and I couldn't do anything."
"You are an honest person." Chang Yu chuckled, and Wang Zamao hurriedly patted his chest and said, "People who know me say so, hey, I am too honest, and I often suffer losses and get cheated..."
Chang Yu felt like vomiting after hearing this, but fortunately Wang Zamao changed the subject in time: "By the way, Wang Tizhong said that if he can't beat you, he will surrender. In order to preserve his worth, he may have to kill Bai Wang Xian Gong..."
Damn it, it’s still reincarnation after all! Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly after hearing this. Although he didn't know whether Wang Ti Zhong could succeed, in history, Bai Wang really died in his hands, and then he died in Wang Zamao's hands, but now the time and space trajectory is messed up. I really can’t figure out how it will develop in the future.
The two of them talked for a while until it was almost noon. Wang Zamao confirmed again and again before leaving: "Admiral, I am already yours, I am already an officer and soldier. Don’t take the little ones with you..."
"It seems we have to prepare quickly." Chang Yu came back and told everyone about Wang Tizhong's plan to have an arm wrestling match. Li Muchian pondered for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, you should immediately inform Lord Chang of Tu that he has sent troops. Order Lu Daqi and others to advance southward."
"Are you planning to fight directly with the king's body? He currently has more than 10,000 troops, including thousands of elite soldiers. If you want to fight hard, you will only be injured a lot, and Wang Zamao's identity will be exposed." Chang Yu looked a little worried, while Lao Jiu shouted next to him: "If you're afraid of his request, just do whatever you can to him..."
Li Muchian frowned: "If we don't do it directly, we can't do anything right now. Does it matter whether Wang Zamao is exposed?" Chang Yu hummed: "I didn't want to expose Wang Zamao so early. There may be unexpected gains from playing ambush, but as you said, there is really no way to play any tricks at the moment. In that case, let Xu Hongji and the others see what the real battlefield is like."
"Actually, Sir, you are not too worried about the damage. After all, the King already has a desire to surrender. If he sees that the situation is not good, he will not fight to the death with us." Li Muchian reassured everyone, and it made sense to everyone.
Immediately, Chang Yu sent people to Dangtu to order the army to set off. Lu Daqi and others thirty miles away entered a state of preparation for war. At the same time, he sent scouts to the intersection of Qingge River and Qingshan River in the southwest of Wuhu to reconnoiter to see if Wang Tizhong was as good as Wang Zamao. He said he would cross the water and ambush him from there.
After everything was arranged, it was noon and the clouds had disappeared from the sky. The sun occasionally shone down, and the soldiers were buried in the stoves, lighting fires, making food, hanging clothes, and sleeping.
Not long after, news came: the rebel army from the north was retreating towards Wuhu. Chang Yu had no expression on his face, while Li Muchian smiled and said: "This king's hairy man is shameless but he is a good dog."
"It wouldn't matter if he was just a dog. I'm afraid he's just a white-eyed wolf. If he can bite Wang Ti Zhong, he can also bite the Governor." Chang Yu sighed: "It's ridiculous that Wang Ti Zhong trusts him very much. He trusts him with all kinds of confidence." , Ridiculous, ridiculous."
Although it is ridiculous, the reality is that it is often the knife given to you by the person you trust the most that is the most fatal.
While the two were sighing, another scout came to report the news from the other side: Wu Sangui and Ma Ke's cavalry and two battalions under Dongchang's command had arrived.
"Hey, I like Wu Sangui's energy very much." Chang Yu raised the corner of his mouth: "He was holding back the anger in his heart but he didn't dare to express it to the governor, so he thought about killing the thief as soon as possible to relieve the anger. Eh..." Chang Yu suddenly thought of something. Li Muxian whispered a few words, and Li Muxian immediately jumped up: "Negotiable!"
