Chapter 96
When the sky got slightly brighter, the Tang army suddenly gathered together, stretched out their formation and went to call the formation.
After the night attack, the Chu army was in a tense state all night. Now it was exhausted and unable to fight anymore.
After Xiang Feng, who had not slept all night, learned about the situation, he could only sigh helplessly, and then asked someone to hang out the no-fight card.
Since the Chu army attacked the Tang Dynasty, their morale has been very high. Now that they are giving up the war-free card, it will definitely affect their morale.
But this is also a helpless move. If we fight now, the possibility of defeat is extremely high, and the military morale will fall to the bottom.
As for the generals of the Chu army who had been reprimanded last night, no one dared to clamor to fight, lest they completely anger Xiang Feng.
Yuchixiong was a little surprised when he saw that the Chu army had issued a no-war card.
I didn't expect that the commotion in the Chu army's camp last night would have such a big impact on the Chu army.
I wanted to lead the army to face the Chu army head-on today and capture the Chu army's vigor.
But it is obviously impossible. Based on my understanding of Xiang Feng, Xiang Feng will definitely not come out to fight today.
Yu Chixiong looked at Du Tao and wanted to know what Du Tao thought of the current situation.
As a result, he saw Du Tao looking like he was not awake, yawning continuously and twisting absentmindedly on his horse.
He snorted coldly in his heart, if Du Tao hadn't been appointed by the King of Tang, Yu Chixiong would have killed him long ago.
In fact, Du Tao had ideas, but now his military power has been almost deprived, and his advice last night was ignored by Yu Chixiong, which made Du Tao angry.
Since you ask me to be a decoration, then I will be a decoration! Anyway, I am the deputy general of Tang Wangfeng. Even if you, Yu Chixiong, are the chief general, you can't do anything to me.
Unable to get any advice from Du Tao, Yu Chixiong immediately asked people to come forward and continue calling for formation.
However, after most of the day, the Chu army still did not make any move, and Yuchixiong had no choice but to lead his troops to withdraw.
At the border of Chu State, which is far away from the battlefield here, a group of cavalry has quietly crossed the path in the mountains and forests and arrived at the territory of Chu State.
"Sir, we have entered the Chu Kingdom. There should be a village in front of us." Gongsun Qi pointed to the front and said.
"Sir, do you want to send troops to capture that village?" Qin Yuan asked.
Qin Yu stopped and ordered: "Send the order and rest where you are."
"promise!"
After the team rested, Qin Yu took off his armor.
"Gongsun Qi, call one or two of your brothers, take off your armor, put on civilian clothes, and follow me to the village ahead to explore the situation."
"No!" Gongsun Qi immediately went to call for someone.
At this time, Qin Yuan said: "Sir, why bother? We can just capture a small village."
Qin Yu glared at Qin Yuan and said, "The people in the village are ordinary people. When you lead the troops, are you going to kill those people?"
Qin Yuan lowered his head and did not dare to answer. In previous battles, he directly captured the villages he encountered. Although he would kill many people, they were all resisters.
After Gongsun Qi and others were ready, Qin Yu led a few people towards the village.
Qin Yuan stayed and waited for orders. Without orders, he was not allowed to act without permission.
The small village Gongsun Qi mentioned was in a very remote location.
If Sun Erniang and the others hadn't marked it on the map, even the Chu State's own map would not have marked this village.
The village is between two mountains, and the roads in and out are all mountain roads, which is very inconvenient.
At first glance, there are only a dozen or so households in this village, but there are a few peach trees planted in the village, and the flowers are in full bloom at this time.
"It is really a paradise. It would be a pity if it was destroyed by the war." Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, it's such a good place." Gongsun Qi couldn't help but think of his hometown when he saw this place.
"Let's go in and take a look at the situation."
When Qin Yu and others arrived at the entrance of the village, they were discovered by the villagers. These villagers were also very enthusiastic, and several people ran to greet them.
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming again!" Several villagers gathered around. One of them looked at the two and asked with a smile: "Are some of you from other places? We haven't had anyone here for a long time. Welcome to come." Let’s choose the flower village!”
"Yes, we are from out of town." Qin Yu replied, "Your village is very beautiful. I didn't expect that there is such a paradise in this world."
"Thank you for the compliment." The villager replied with a smile, "Although our place is remote, the environment is beautiful, far away from the noise, and the life is peaceful. I don't know how many people came here, but where are they going?"
Qin Yu cupped his hands and said: "We are businessmen who travel around the world. When we were traveling to the Tang State, the Tang State and the Chu State suddenly started a war. We had to find some mountain paths to avoid the war. Unexpectedly, we ended up here by accident."
"Businessmen?" The villagers looked at the few people in confusion and asked, "If they are businessmen, why are they empty?"
Qin Yu explained with a smile: "Now that the war is in chaos, how can I dare to carry anything with me? Now we just want to go to Chu State as soon as possible to join our friends. I didn't expect to stumble into this place and see such a beautiful village."
"I see," the villager sighed heavily, "These times of war and chaos are not easy for everyone. Since you guys have come to our village, why not stay here for a few days? Maybe there will be a truce outside in a few days."
"This...then I won't disturb you all." Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.
"Okay, okay! Everyone, please! Our village has a place specially designed to entertain foreigners. You don't have to spend money on food and accommodation."
The villagers enthusiastically brought Qin Yu and others into the village. After seeing Qin Yu and others, other people in the village also gathered around enthusiastically, and the whole village suddenly became lively.
In the end, Qin Yu and others were arranged to stay at the village chief's home.
The village chief is an old man who is over 100 years old and has limited mobility. He is highly respected in the village and everyone in the village takes turns taking care of the old village chief.
The village chief was very happy for the arrival of Qin Yu and others. He asked people to cook and clean the room, always with a smile on his face.
Looking at the enthusiastic villagers around him, Gongsun Qi tugged on Qin Yu's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you really want to live here? I always feel that something is wrong here."
Qin Yu whispered: "Don't worry, check the situation first and then inquire about the news. Also, don't call me Sir, call me President."
"Okay, President."
As soon as the two of them finished talking, the old village chief asked: "Do you have any dissatisfaction? If you have any, you can raise it. Although we are in a remote country, we will try our best to satisfy you."
Qin Yu cupped his hands and said, "You're welcome, old village chief. We were just discussing how to repay you in the future."
"Hahaha, there is no need to repay you. You are here. This is a rare lively time for us. As long as everyone is happy, that's fine." The old village chief said with a smile, but the old smile looked a little bit penetrating.
