Feng Ying was the last one to leave his tent. He walked towards his camp, and after passing two tents, he saw a familiar barbarian general stopping in front, apparently waiting for him here on purpose.
"Hey, Brother Feng, why is the king so easily angry today?"
Feng Ying also felt that the king was a little impatient today. Could it be that the closing of the net was imminent and the king was worried about gains and losses?
Feng Ying shook his head slightly, patted the Yi general on the shoulder and said: "The king is probably angry with the Han people. Don't think so much, brother, why don't you go back and arrange your troops?"
The Yi general originally wanted to come and check the situation, but seeing that Feng Ying was unwilling to say more, he could only reply sarcastically: "Brother Feng is absolutely right. I'll go back first."
Looking at the Yi's retreating figure, Feng Ying sighed softly. For some reason, he was a little inexplicably worried about his actions today and tomorrow. Logically speaking, since the plan was going to be successful, he should be happy. How could he have such an unknown outcome? Why are you upset?
Alas, could it be that I, like the king, have become worried about gains and losses? Feng Ying shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and walked towards her tent.
The drumming of the Han Army's drums became fainter. Gao Ding sat inside the tent and listened. Now he was no longer as nervous about the Han Army's drums as when he first heard them.
Soon, the drumming of the Han army stopped suddenly. Gao Ding raised his eyelids slightly, looked outside the tent, and asked Huo Yuan casually: "How many times has this been played by the Han people?"
"Your Majesty, the Han people have been beating drums four times since morning." Huo Yuan replied softly.
Gao Ding nodded and asked again: "Do you know the Han people's intentions?"
Huo Yuan touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Hey, the general is so stupid that he can't even understand the tricks of the army under the guidance of the king. In the future, he will no longer have to serve in front of the king."
After that, he continued: "The Han people beat the drums for more than half an hour each time. When the drums are beaten, the Han soldiers move back and forth, fluttering their flags, pretending to be marching. This is obviously a tactic used by the Han people to tire out their troops. .”
After hearing this, Gao Ding laughed and stroked his beard and said, "Okay, you have really made great progress. Later, you will pass the order and order all the ministries not to assemble and stand by when the Han army's drum sounds, but only to strengthen their vigilance."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"By the way, how are the Feng Yingbu prepared?"
Huo Yuan replied: "General Feng is all ready. We can set off as soon as it gets dark."
"Okay, Huo Yuan, I really want to thank our Governor Yang for this plan of exhaustion today."
Huo Yuan was a little puzzled when he heard this and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing Huo Yuan's confused look, Gao Ding felt amused and said with a smile: "Yang Qing tried to make an offensive gesture to make our army tired of dealing with it, but I really want to thank him.
"The king mobilized troops and horses tonight, I was originally afraid that the Han people would get suspicious and find out, but with Yang Qing's clever trick of exhausting the troops, I just took advantage of it. It is normal to mobilize troops and horses like this. Haha, you said that Yang Qing, the kid, helped me and so on. Should I thank him for his great help?"
Huo Yuan was aware of his king's plan, and he also reacted at this moment. He immediately smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you. After Yang Qing is captured, the king will have to thank our prefect alive."
"Haha, you, you." Gao Ding pointed at Huo Yuandao.
Gao Ding was in a good mood now, unlike how upset he was in the morning. Seeing what Huo Yuan said was so interesting, he couldn't help laughing.
The clouds cover half of the eastern sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun lingers on the mountain ridge. The last glow in the sky dissipated, and night slowly covered the entire land. ,
In the military commander's tent in the Dingjiacun camp, Liu Yin, Lei Xiong, Gu Lichi and other generals were gathered together. Yang Qing was sitting on the main seat with a calm face, looking at a volume of documents.
There were still bursts of drumming outside the tent, and the sound could be heard for more than ten miles. Everyone was even more afraid to speak for fear of disturbing Yang Qing. They all sat in their seats and waited for his instructions.
Yang Qing finished reading the volume of documents in his hand and was about to change to the next volume, but found that everyone was silent and stared at him blankly.
He knew what everyone was thinking, and then smiled and said: "Wen Ran hasn't come back yet, so you don't have to be formal and just be casual. I have already read these documents. Let's take a look at them now for entertainment."
After hearing this, everyone relaxed, smiled, and then began to whisper among themselves. They were tired of not talking for a long time, but the prefect was still here after all, so everyone's voices were still very low.
"Master Fu, I'm back from my humble position."
Less than half an hour later, Yang Xi rushed into the tent panting. Everyone immediately shut up when they saw this. When Yang Xi came back, the discussion was about to begin.
Although Yang Qing was impatient, he still waited for Yang Xi to catch his breath before asking: "Wen Ran, how is the situation?"
Yang Xi returned to the seat reserved for him, sat down and reported, "As expected by Lord Chufu, Gaoding has sent troops, about three thousand people."
"Three thousand people?" Yang Qing was slightly surprised, and then sneered: "Our King of Couture is so generous. He attacked me with 6,000 people and settled in the county. It's really a good plan."
Lei Xiong said with a smile: "However, the treacherous plot has been discovered by Fu Jun, and Gao Ding's plan has become empty talk. Please give Fu Jun an order to let us set off."
Yang Qing also smiled and said: "There's no rush, let's let the rebels take the first step. It won't be too late for me to rest for an hour or two."
After saying that, Yang Qing's expression changed, and he said resolutely: "Generals, listen to the order." After hearing this, everyone in the tent quickly stood up and bowed to obey the order.
"Gentlemen, the time has come to defeat the thief. I will meet with Gaoding today and tomorrow. Everyone, please go back to your base camp and act as planned. I will wait for the troops to return and set up in two hours."
"I will obey the order of the general." All the generals responded in unison.
Yang Qing looked at Liu Yin, Shen Da, and Badi and issued an order: "Xiuran, Botong, Badi, if Gaoding doesn't notice that the main force of our army has left tomorrow, you three will lead our troops and cameras from behind. The mountain wraps around to the high position behind it.”
The three of them bowed and obeyed: "No."
"Xiuren, we need to put up more flags after we leave. Don't let Gao Ding notice anything unusual." Yang Qing asked again worriedly.
Although the constant sound of design drums today should have made Gao Ding think that he was using a strategy of exhaustion, and his guard should have relaxed. But just in case, Yang Qing asked Liu Yin and the others to evacuate later in order to observe the reaction of the Yi soldiers.
Liu Yin understood the pros and cons and solemnly replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, Yin will fulfill his mission."
"Okay. After you go around to the predetermined location and meet up with Feng Chong's troops, you can follow the plan. During this period, you can handle everything on your own and make your own decisions."
Liu Yin knew that this was not only an important task for the governor to train himself, but also an opportunity for him to stand out. He would go all out. He immediately bowed in a big bow and said: "I dare to die for my humble position."
Seeing his great gift, Yang Qing hurriedly came out and helped him up: "It doesn't have to be like this. Just follow the plan and do your best. We will have a celebration drink in a few days. Gentlemen, Do you think so or not?"
"Haha, Mr. Fu is right."
"Lei can't wait any longer."
"At that time, I will have a few more drinks with Mr. Fu."
...
When everyone saw Yang Qing talking confidently about the celebration drinks in the future, they all smiled knowingly and started joking. For a while, the atmosphere of the pre-war discussion, which was originally a bit solemn, became a bit cheerful.
This is what Yang Qing is happy to see. The war is about to begin. It is good for the generals to tighten the strings in their hearts, but they cannot be too tight. Relaxation is the best mentality before the battle.
"Okay, it's getting late. Everyone, please go back and prepare yourself." After everyone laughed, Yang Qing ended the last discussion before the war.
Late at night, the war drums of the Han army were still ringing non-stop, covering the main force of more than 4,000 officers and soldiers quietly leaving the camp through the back mountain trail. The circle turned back to Anshang County.
Yang Qing stood on the slope, looking at the long military column, and couldn't help but wonder, will the battle be successful tomorrow?
