Ten miles away from Feng County, the Qin army had set up camp in a spacious place.
"Dai and his son will leave the city tomorrow to surrender?"
In the military tent, Zhao Tuo made a sound in surprise.
Not only him, but Bai Rong, Zhao Guang, Zhang He and other generals also raised their eyebrows and stared at the energetic middle-aged scribe in the tent.
"You drunkard, what kind of meat is your tongue made of? You actually said you surrendered to Su County."
Black Butt was speechless, and then said in disappointment: "You asked me to surrender to Sian County. You have achieved great success, but we have no merit at all. It's really a waste of time."
She Jian glared at him and said, "Subjugating the enemy's army without fighting is the way to do great good. Mr. Li said that by surrendering this city, our soldiers will be able to preserve their strength without suffering losses, and we can attack in the future." Other cities in Wei. At that time, it will be time for you to make meritorious deeds."
Black Butt rolled his eyes at Shejian and muttered: "It's great to be able to say a few words about the art of war. When Nai Gong is free at night, he will go to the military commander to teach me the art of war. Sooner or later, I will be better than you."
While everyone was talking, Zhao Tuo looked confused.
He asked: "Mr. Li, didn't you say that the position of a county magistrate is not enough? Why did Dai and his son agree to surrender so simply?"
Black Butt also shouted: "Yes, what you said before, you drunkard, was so scary. Dai Shi has been in charge of this city for generations. You said it was so powerful, but he surrendered immediately. In my opinion, Dai Shi must have been in charge of this city for a long time." He has made up his mind to surrender. No matter who enters the city, he will surrender. Alas, if I had known this, I would have earned the credit."
"Since Master Black Bottom Two and Five Hundred has this intention, why not join me as a lobbyist next time?"
Li Shiqi choked back the words with a smile. No matter how Black Buttocks reacted, he waved his sleeves and said to Zhao Tuo: "Marquis, there may be problems with Dai's surrender this time."
As soon as these words came out, Hei Butt, who was about to retaliate, suppressed his words again and his eyes widened.
Everyone else also looked at Li Shiqi in surprise.
Zhao Tuo frowned.
"Dai is unwilling to surrender?"
"Dai is willing to surrender, otherwise he won't let me enter the city."
"Then why is there a problem?"
Li Shiqi sneered and said: "Dai Wu, the magistrate of Shixian County, although this person is named Wu, his character is cowardly and his words are timid. There is no problem for this person to surrender."
"The problem is his legitimate son Dai Yu. Based on my visit to the city this time, the rumors among the people are true. This Dai Yu has a strong personality, and even his father may be at his mercy."
"Judging from this person's character, he will never surrender easily. He must at least strive for the position of county magistrate. But now he has agreed to the position of county magistrate proposed by me. I am afraid he has other plans."
"And what makes me most suspicious is that I suggested that since they agreed to surrender, they should immediately open the city gate and let my army enter the city. This is sincerity. But he shied away from the need for time to seal the treasury and appease the officials. Hehe , it’s okay to deceive some brainless people with these words.”
When Li Shiqi finished speaking, he glanced at the black buttocks beside him.
Then he said with a smile: "You are careful, if you want to trick me into being a drunkard in Gaoyang, I'm afraid you're still a little short of the mark."
Zhao Tuo raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but secretly praise Li Shiqi in the tent.
No matter whether Li Shiqi's previous plan would damage his reputation, this man was capable after all.
He can be both a lobbyist and a counselor. He can clearly understand the thoughts of Dai and his son in the city after walking around the city. He can be called a talent.
If I entered the city with a black butt, I'm afraid I wouldn't be fooled around by others.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo also sneered and said: "Our army is approaching Lian County. Under such circumstances, Dai Yu dares to have other ideas."
"This kid doesn't understand the situation at hand."
…
"From the time when King Wu of Zhou divided the world, I, the Dai family, took this city as my country. It took more than three hundred years until Uncle Zheng used a trick to destroy my country. Standing among the nine states, he is so glorious and prosperous."
"Even if it is later reduced to a city in the state of Zheng and a county in the state of Wei, I, the Dai family, are still the real leaders of this city. But now, the Qin people from the remote Xirong have come. These barbaric Qin people are afraid of my Dai family's power and think that I Dai's presence here will affect their rule."
"Therefore, the Qin army is going to attack my city, make me the Dai clan, and kill all the Dai clan people in the city. Then they will move the Qin people in the pass to come here, sleep in my house, cultivate my land, and turn the land where our ancestors have lived for generations into The houses of his Qin people."
Under the cover of night, Dai Yu, fully clothed, stood on a high place and shouted at the two thousand Dai clan members gathered in the city.
"How can the second and third sons tolerate such behavior?"
Under Dai Yu's loud voice, all the Dai clan members blushed and shouted angrily.
"No, this is the city of our ancestors and cannot be given to the Qin people!"
"They actually want to kill all our Dai people. The Qin army is so cruel. We will fight them!"
"The people of Qin and I swear not to be at odds with each other!"
Seeing that the two thousand tribesmen summoned were all furious at his words, shouting that they would fight the Qin people desperately.
Dai Yu nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his military books were not in vain.
Just a few words uttered can make these two thousand people become more motivated to fight. Coupled with the night attack plan that he came up with, today's battle will definitely be a success.
"Since the Qin State attacked Wei, except for the battle of Jiyang, which was defeated by the Wei army, all the others have been victorious. Even the tens of thousands of troops gathered by Wei Jiu, Lord of Ningling, were defeated by the Qin people. If I succeed in my night attack today, the army will be defeated. If you defeat the people of Qin, you will be famous all over the world! Let everyone know that I, Dai Yu from Lian County, am also a master of military skills. Maybe the King of Qin will recruit me personally after hearing my name."
When Dai Yu thought of this, his body trembled with excitement.
He is just a young man in his twenties, at the age where he is full of energy and has always had a strong personality. After reading a few military books and listening to many stories about famous generals, I thought that I also had the qualifications to be a famous general.
"Yu'er, this matter is too dangerous. If it fails, there will be no chance of turning around. And even if the night attack is successful, the Qin army may become angry after suffering such a defeat and ignore our surrender afterwards. When we get there How will I, Dai, deal with it when the time comes?"
Dai Wu, who was on the side, saw the clan members shouting and shouting, and became even more frightened, and couldn't help but speak to dissuade them.
Dai Yu frowned and said in a low voice: "Father, please don't lose your temper. I, the Dai family, will definitely win this battle. If I can capture the Qin army's military commander, it will be easier to negotiate terms. Even if I can't capture it, Let him run away. Then we will take advantage of the power of this great victory and submit a letter of surrender to the Qin army."
"Haha, when the Qin army knows how strong my Dai family is, they will understand that if they want to attack Xiajian County by force, they will pay a high price and lose countless troops. In comparison, a mere county magistrate can replace me and surrender. Isn't it right? Is it extremely uneconomical? I believe that the Qin Army’s commander-in-chief, Wang Ben, will definitely be able to figure out this deal."
Dai Yu was eloquent and had his own logic.
Dai Wu was speechless. At this moment, the two thousand Dai clan members were all full of blood and clamoring to follow Dai Yu to fight the Qin people.
The situation is irreversible, not to mention that Dai Wu has always been cowardly, does not like administrative work, and only loves wine and beautiful women.
Therefore, most of the Dai family's affairs are handled by Dai Yu, who has a great say in the clan. Although Dai Wu is worried now, he has no choice.
"Father, just take the thousand soldiers and sit in the city. Watch me show off the glory of the Dai clan today!"
Dai Yu spoke loudly, said goodbye to his father, and walked away.
Behind him, two thousand Dai clan members followed closely.
Outside Feng County, the moonlight was hazy and the wind was howling. It was a good time for a night attack.
The Qin army set up camp ten miles away. The journey was not far, and the terrain along the way was a road often walked by the local Dai people. Even if they didn't light a torch, they could finish it with their eyes closed.
"This is what the Art of War says, the right time and the right place."
Dai Yu turned around and saw that all the two thousand tribesmen were full of fighting spirit. He couldn't help but smile and said: "There are also two thousand strong men who protect the family and the tribe. There is no shortage of people."
"The right time, right place, right people, all three are in my hands."
"I will definitely win this battle!"
