In Lin Zhenyuan's opinion, Zhou Yi's wisdom is like a mountain and his strategy is like an ocean, which is far beyond what most people can fathom.
When he lost Wuwei Pass and went to Pingliang County, Zhou Yi was able to make plans in advance and set up a fire-ox formation for Pingjiang County, turning hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu and Khitan armies into ashes while talking and laughing.
Later, he ordered himself to lead a surprise attack on the hinterland of the Xiongnu with 20,000 elite troops, killing nearly 10,000 enemies, and captured the Xiongnu King Youxian and Princess Chanyu, thus promoting the prestige of the Chen Kingdom.
Although the commander-in-chief Zhou Yi is avoiding fighting now, he must have a deeper plan. Those soldiers couldn't understand it, so how could I not understand it myself.
The next second, the Huns leader named Hunxie hurriedly came to Zhou Yi and reported to him: "Master Tian Khan, the fish is hooked! Do you want to reel in the line now?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile knowingly.
When Lin Zhenyuan saw Zhou Yi's confident and charming smile, he felt that the battle was secure.
Zhou Yi said calmly: "Hunxie, it seems you haven't fished much!"
“Don’t be too hasty to reel in the line when the fish just bites the hook, you have to let it bite tightly and then let it slip away!”
Hunxie was a little confused and asked directly: "Lord Tian Khan, what should we do next?"
"First let the undercovers induce them to conduct a few tentative sieges. When the time comes, Karasuma Shanyu will bite the hook tightly!"
Although Hunxie did not understand the meaning of the Book of Changes, out of loyalty and respect for Tian Khan, he immediately retreated and secretly conveyed the message to the undercover.
It turned out that since Zhou Yi had given up the war-free card, he had Hunxie secretly arrange for the Huns soldiers to pretend to be traitors and defect to Karasuma Chanyu, and he also told Karasuma Chanyu and others about the "epidemic" in the mighty army in an exaggerated manner.
The Xiongnu soldier told Wu Wan Shanyu that now one-third of Zhou Yi's 200,000 mighty army had vomiting, diarrhea, and body fever, and a steady stream of soldiers were infected with this damn disease every day. .
Some soldiers who had not yet contracted the disease thought they were cursed by the grassland.
The undercover Huns soldier also said that he escaped because he was afraid that the curse of the grassland would befall him.
Two consecutive defeats against the generals of the Chen State allowed Zhou Yi to avoid fighting, which made Karasuma Chanyu even more convinced of the information brought by the undercover agents.
Moreover, Wu Wan Chanyu is also the same person as Cao Cao.
When Zhou Yi's undercover suggested that he could tentatively attack the city, Karasuma Shanyu decisively listened to this suggestion.
In the first test, the defenders' offensive in Yuyang City was extremely fierce. Karasuma Shanyu's men who forced the attack on the city suffered heavy casualties.
King Juncheng and King Hulan were very angry when they saw this situation. They even wanted to kill the undercover agent on the spot.
However, Karasuma Shanyu stopped the impulsive behavior of the Huns.
"The soldiers of the Chen State you see now are just powerful from outside. The more tyrannical they are this time, the more it shows that there is something wrong with their army."
"The mighty guards of the Chen Kingdom already possess countless powerful bows and crossbows, as well as the thunder weapons that King Beiliu mentioned before. Now their numbers are no less than ours, but why do they always avoid fighting? Woolen cloth?"
Under the guidance of Karasuma Shanyu's reverse thinking, King Juncheng, King Hulan and the other Huns kings suddenly figured out one thing.
King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu said excitedly: "Khan, you mean that they have already been at their wits' end due to the epidemic. In fact, they are all just pretending now?"
King Juncheng disagreed and retorted: "All this is just your conjecture, Da Shanyu! I can't joke with the lives of the warriors of my tribe."
"If you don't believe it, we might as well send some soldiers to feint attack in a few days and try it out!"
A few days later, Wuwan Shanyu once again sent troops to pretend to attack the city.
This time, the defensive guards in Yuyang City were not as sharp as the first time, and they were still chaotic everywhere.
A few days later, Karasuma Chanyu sent another group of soldiers to pretend to attack.
This time, the defense of the soldiers in the city became extremely messy. There were things like gold soup and hammered stones that were originally thrown down, but this time they were gone.
For these three feint attacks, Shanyu Karasuma saw all the performance of the mighty guards in Yuyang City.
These three tentative attacks have convinced Karasuma Shanyu that Chen Guo's mighty guards are now at a loss.
"You have all seen the performance of the Chen soldiers who attacked the city today, right? As long as we wait for a while, we can kill them in one fell swoop without any effort." Karasuma Shanyu said proudly.
King Juncheng, King Hulan and other Huns kings also nodded with great approval. They seemed to have seen the day when they slaughtered all Zhou Yi's army and drove southward to Hanyang City, the capital of Chen Kingdom.
What made them even more delighted was that in the middle of the night, many Huns who had surrendered to Zhouyi secretly defected and ran out of Yuyang City. There were many sick Huns and Khitans among them.
One by one, they knelt in front of Karasuma Chanyu and begged Karasuma Chanyu to forgive them and thus lift the 'curse of the prairie'.
After seeing these people mythologizing themselves, Karasuma Shanyu was even more happy and could not find Bei. There is no connection between these people and undercover agents at all.
Karasuma Shanyu even showed the magnanimity of a superior and forgave those who had betrayed the grassland on the spot.
Some time later, Wuwan Shanyu once again welcomed a large number of Huns who fled from Yuyang City. Among them were members of the personal bodyguards of Karasuma Chanyu.
"Domu replied, how many Chen soldiers in Yuyang City are sick now?" Karasuma Shanyu asked eagerly to this former personal guard.
"Reporting to the Great Khan, 80% of Chen's soldiers have been infected with the disease. They don't even have the strength to guard us. I also sneaked out tonight."
"My brother is still in Yuyang City. I have already told him that tomorrow night he will take the imprisoned tribesmen to snatch weapons and open the north gate of Yuyang City. Then the army can enter Yuyang City. The blood of their Chen people has washed away our shame."
After hearing this, Karasuma Shanyu patted his thigh excitedly: "Okay, okay, Dom said the news you brought is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
Wuwan Shanyu then said to King Juncheng, King Hulan, King Beiliu and others: "The time has come for us to wash away our shame. Tomorrow night, the army will gather. When Domuda's brother leads our people to open the north city gate, Just fight in."
"You all remember that Chen Guo's genius general Zhou Yi must be left to me. I want him to watch with his own eyes the skulls of his soldiers being made into wine cups. When the time comes, I will also tattoo his body. It’s all thanks to my Karasuma.”
After saying that, Karasuma Chanyu burst into hearty laughter.
