Anthony sat in the tent with great ambition, with the exquisite large map in front of him.
The generals had all dispersed and divided into thirteen teams to encircle and suppress Feng Quili.
Anthony looked at the map, thinking about the fierce battle in the mountains.
In his mind, the Qin people fled in all directions and were in chaos, only hating that their parents had lost two legs.
The whole day was spent in Anthony's happy mind.
The next day, Anthony waited for the first messenger.
The messenger panted and said: "General, general."
Anthony stood up and said excitedly: "How's it going?"
The envoy said: "Our army has been searching for a day, but there is no trace of the Qin people."
Anthony was slightly disappointed, but he still nodded and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, the Qin people are cunning, like mice, hiding everywhere, you can't find them, it's excusable, it doesn't matter."
The messenger responded.
Anthony made a mark on the map.
It doesn't matter if one team can't find anyone. After all, there are still twelve teams.
The remaining twelve teams were enough to kill the Qin people to pieces.
So Anthony waited another day.
On this day, not a single messenger came.
Anthony was a little puzzled: "It's weird, is the battle ahead so fierce?"
On the third day, the messenger finally arrived.
The messenger's face was covered with bruises and he said to Anthony: "General, we are defeated."
When Anthony heard this, his blood suddenly surged, and he shouted angrily: "Why was it defeated? How many soldiers did I send? The number of soldiers was several times that of the Qin people, how could they be defeated?"
The envoy said: "Those Qin people are very cunning. They appear in the east and west."
"The generals who led us separated the troops and horses in order to kill the thieves as soon as possible. As a result, they were defeated by the Qin people. There were countless casualties, and the rest surrendered."
Antony roared, his anger surged, and he kicked the messenger, causing him to sit on the ground.
"roll."
Anthony yelled.
The messenger ran away in a mess.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the third messenger came again.
The messenger was also covered in blood and cried out: "General, we are defeated."
Anthony shouted: "Tell me, how did you lose?"
The envoy said: "Those Qin people are very cunning. They appear in the east and west. In order to kill the thieves as soon as possible, the generals who led us divided their troops and were defeated one by one."
Anthony kicked the messenger: "Trash, even losing a battle is so similar."
"Go away." Anthony shouted.
The messenger ran away in a mess.
Anthony sat in the room sulking.
At this time, the fourth messenger came again.
He was also in a terrible state of embarrassment. When he saw Anthony, he groaned: "General, we are defeated."
Anthony: "..."
Anthony suddenly felt that human anger is limited. After sending it out, it takes a long time to accumulate it before you can continue to get angry.
Now Anthony doesn't really want to get angry.
He is tired.
He said to the messenger quietly: "Tell me how you defeated them."
The messenger began to speak.
It's all the same thing. The Qin people are in the east and west. Finally, they were defeated one by one.
Anthony waved his hand: "Go away."
The messenger is gone.
Next, the fifth, the sixth, the seventh...
Messengers came one after another, all saying the same thing.
Anthony was in a daze, and a ridiculous idea suddenly appeared in his mind: These people...could they have colluded to deceive me?
How could it be such a coincidence that they were all defeated by the Qin people using the same method?
Are they...really that stupid?
At this time, the last messenger arrived.
The messenger lamented: "General, we..."
Anthony has rested all day, and his anger level is quite full.
He jumped up suddenly and grabbed the messenger's clothes: "We have lost again? If you dare to say we have lost, I will kill you immediately."
In anger, Antony even took out his sword.
The messenger said tremblingly: "General, we are not defeated."
Anthony was overjoyed.
Then, he looked at the messenger with some suspicion: "Did you deliberately lie to me to save your life?"
The messenger shook his head repeatedly: "The villain dare not deceive the adults. We are really not defeated."
Anthony took a closer look. The messenger was neatly dressed and in good spirits. He did not look like he had lost the battle.
He asked excitedly: "Then how many Qin people have we killed?"
The envoy said: "We did not kill the Qin people either."
Anthony was stunned: "Could it be that you haven't found the Qin people either?"
The messenger said: "We found it."
Anthony was confused: "Since we found it, why didn't we kill the Qin people?"
The messenger coughed dryly and said: "This... general, because we surrendered."
Anthony groaned and suddenly realized: "So that's it. So you are...what? Did you surrender?"
Anthony's eyes widened.
The messenger looked at him with some fear: "Yes."
Anthony grabbed his sword and his arms were trembling: "You actually surrendered to the Qin people? Tell me how you surrendered."
The envoy said cautiously: "At first, we were facing each other. Later, the Qin people said that both sides would die in battle. And how precious is human life? It is better to choose other ways to determine the outcome."
"This method is more civilized and safer than fighting. If the Qin people lose, the Qin people will withdraw from Baobao Mountain. If the Qin people win, we will withdraw from Baobao Mountain."
Anthony said: "This...this makes sense, but why did you surrender?"
The messenger slapped his thigh and said: "The general doesn't know that the competition method proposed by the other party is a debate. Whoever can convince the other party will win."
"They sent out two people, a scholar and an interpreter."
"The scholar is said to have studied at Shang Jun's Courtyard, and has seen the demeanor of banishing immortals. Anyway, what he said is very powerful."
"We didn't take it seriously at first, so we also sent a person to debate."
"As a result, our men were quickly defeated. So we sent a second man."
"In the end, all of us who were smart got on board. But this guy took his time and made us all speechless."
"At this time, his tone changed and he began to persuade us to surrender again. General, you don't know, what he said was very reasonable, and everyone was convinced, so everyone... followed the call of the heart and surrendered. "
Antony shouted, raised his sword, and struck at the messenger.
The messenger was startled and jumped a step to the side.
Antony's sword struck a stone.
With a click, the sword broke into two pieces.
The tip of the sword jumped up, fell down again, and pierced Anthony's feet.
