"It smells so good, so good!"

On the city wall, Qin Yu cooked a large pot of ham, and everyone sat together and ate enthusiastically.

"It's a pity that there is no chili pepper, otherwise it would be more delicious." Qin Yu said regretfully.

"Captain, we are very satisfied if we have meat to eat. As for whether it tastes good or not, there should be nothing better than meat in the world."

"That's right, meat is the most delicious in the world!"

Several of them were from civilian backgrounds and could not eat more than a few meals of meat in their lives. They were very satisfied to have one meal of meat before they died.

Qin Yu's eyes darkened after hearing this.

Yes, the world is in such chaos, and those who can afford to eat meat are all rich or noble.

As for the people at the bottom, how can they afford meat even if they don't even have the next meal?

"There is movement in the Qi Army camp." Tie Mian has been watching the Qi Army camp in the distance.

Everyone stood up and took a look. Although the wind and snow blocked their sight, they could still see the movement in the Qi Army camp.

"Is everyone full? Get ready to work." Qin Yu said to everyone.

"Captain, please give the order!" everyone said with cupped hands.

Qin Yu faced everyone, "Okay! Then follow the plan and don't let the enemy see that Miao Duan is coming."

"Don't worry, Captain! I will definitely fulfill our mission!"

Everyone dispersed immediately, leaving only Qin Yu and Tie Mian on the wall.

The iron-faced man looked at Qin Yu with worried eyes and asked, "Is this really feasible? If the enemy's cavalry is allowed to drive in, it will be difficult for us to retreat."

"Calm down and trust the enemy."

In fact, Qin Yu was very uneasy, but he must not show it at this time.

Although the Marquis Wu in his previous life was a wise man, who knows if the general opposite him is a smart man.

······

Outside the city, the Qi army opened its camp.

In the white snow, the mighty Qi army was murderous, and the "Qi" flag roared in the wind and snow.

"Third Young Master, this arrow is not simple. It is actually made of fine iron. Judging from the shape of the arrow, it is indeed easier to penetrate armor." Tian He held an armor-piercing arrow and had been studying it carefully for a long time.

"Let me tell you how the warlord felt about yesterday's battle." Jiang Wu had no expression on his face, not even looking at Tian He.

Tian He twitched the corner of his mouth and naturally heard the sarcasm in Jiang Wu's words.

Yesterday's test was a complete joke, but some leaves actually caused the camp to wail continuously.

Jiang Wu's men secretly mocked Tian He.

Tian He turned his eyes to Tunliu City, whose gates were wide open, and frowned: "Third Young Master, now the enemy has opened the city gates wide, what do you think the reason is?"

Jiang Wu had noticed it a long time ago. He didn't understand for a while why the enemy opened the city gate. It couldn't be to welcome him.

"My general is not as smart as the governor. If the governor doesn't know about it, how can I know about it?"

Tian He glanced at Jiang Wu, and then glanced at the general below him.

The generals under his command understood immediately and rushed out of the formation with a group of cavalry, heading straight for the open city gate.

On the city wall, seeing this scene, Iron Face clenched his fists suddenly.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a test, it means they are weak." Qin Yu sat aside and ate the meat calmly.

Sure enough, the cavalry team quickly turned back after being only about fifty steps away from the city wall.

Tie Mian also breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Qin Yu and asked: "You guessed it right, it is indeed just a test."

"As expected." Qin Yu said with a confident smile: "The city gate is wide open. The first thing they thought of must be that there is an ambush inside and they will not enter the city easily."

Outside the city, the general returned to the formation and reported the situation to Tian He.

"Lord Governor, we are approaching the city, but the enemy has not made any move. There are only two or three common people at the city gate, clearing the snow from the streets."

Tian He frowned deeply after hearing the report from his generals.

Even Yitian He, the number one genius in Qi, had trouble seeing clearly what the enemy was doing.

While Tian He was meditating, Jiang Wu rode out of the battle formation alone and headed towards Tunliu City.

"General!" The deputy general followed quickly.

"Go back, I, the general, will go meet Qin Yu in person!" Jiang Wu raised his hand to stop the deputy general who was following him.

Tian He looked at Jiang Wu's figure and sneered in his heart. He rested his hands on the horse's head and watched the results quietly.

"Qin Yu, right? Can we chat?" Jiang Wu came to the city and shouted loudly towards the city wall.

Qin Yu was eating meat and was startled when he heard the sound.

This voice is familiar to him. Isn't it the roast chicken general? We ate four or five roast chickens in the city, which made everyone drool.

"Jiang Wu! The third young master of Qi State, this person is not simple, you have to be careful." Tie Mian said while looking at the city.

"The Third Young Master of Qi Kingdom? You actually know him?" Qin Yu was very surprised that Tie Mian actually knew members of Qi Kingdom's royal family.

Tie Mian's eyes flashed and he explained: "I saw this man's portrait with Lin Yue before. Jiang Wu is known as the sword of the royal family of Qi and has a high prestige among the Qi army."

Qin Yu looked at Jiang Wu outside the city, "Jiang Wu, right? What do you want from me? Are you out of food? Here, I'll give you a piece of meat!"

Qin Yu pierced the arrow with flesh and shot it at Jiang Wu.

"Snapped!"

Jiang Wu reached out and grabbed the arrow, and the piece of meat fell into Jiang Wu's hand.

"Thank you!" Jiang Wu pulled off the piece of meat, held it in his hand and took a big bite.

"General, I thought you could only afford steamed buns, but I didn't expect you could even afford meat." Jiang Wu was eating and observing the situation inside the city gate with his peripheral vision.

Qin Yu laughed, "Brother Jiang Wu, there's no need to look, this is already an empty city!"

"Empty city? Do you think this general will believe it? I'm afraid your troops have already ambushed the city." Jiang Wu sneered, seeming to have seen through Qin Yu's trick.

Qin Yu looked innocent and spread his hands. Tell the truth, why doesn't anyone believe it yet?

Tie Mian was frightened when he heard this. Qin Yu actually told the truth. Isn't this looking for death?

But Tie Mian didn't expect that Jiang Wu didn't believe him, which made Tie Mian sigh in relief.

Tie Mian glared at Qin Yu under his mask, wishing he could kick Qin Yu in the face.

Qin Yu then continued: "What I said is true. If you don't believe it, come in and have a look! I've cooked a big pot of meat!"

Jiang Wu swallowed the meat in several mouthfuls, pulled the horse's rope, and went back without looking back.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't leave! Come in and eat meat!" Qin Yu shouted at Jiang Wu's back.

Jiang Wu returned to the military formation and directly ordered: "Send the order! Attack the city!"

"Wait a minute!" Tian He hurriedly called out to Jiang Wu.

"Lord Governor, what advice do you have?" Jiang Wu looked at Tian He.

Tian He looked at the open city gate and said solemnly: "If the enemy dares to open the gate, there must be some deceit in it, and we must not attack the city!"

"So what if it's a lie? Our army is five times better than the enemy's! Are we still afraid?" Jiang Wu's lieutenant said angrily.

"So what if it's five times greater? Once we're ambushed, it's useless to outnumber the enemy ten times! Anyway, this governor will never attack the city with Xu!"

Tian He may not care about the life and death of his men, but he must not care about the safety of the ancestral temple in the city.
