Chapter 218: Concealing the sky and crossing the sea
Seeing that Yuan Tan was leaving, Ju Su could not make him make this big mistake. He stopped him alone and grabbed the reins hard, hoping that Yuan Tan would change his mind: "Young Master, Ju is not afraid of death, but he can't watch him go to die!"
When Yuan Tan heard the word "death", he frowned and looked very unhappy. It is the most taboo to marching and fighting. If you say these despicable words, aren't you cursing me to die?
What's more, the situation of the defenders in the city will be worse than that of them. The night attack is unexpected and it is a sure victory, so how can I say that I will die?
So he refused to accept Ju Su's words and insisted on leading his troops there.
When it is ugly, it is late at night.
Yuan Tan led his army to the city, sneaked to the moat, preparing to order the siege. Suddenly, fire shone brightly on the city tower, and a majestic sound sounded: "Yuan Tan, I have been waiting for a long time!"
Looking up, it turned out to be Xu Rong!
Then, the sound of strings on the city tower kept ringing, the arrows were raining rapidly, and the screams in the dark night were heartbreaking.
Yuan Tan was shocked by this incident and was in a state of ruthlessness and urgently ordered the withdrawal of his troops.
During the retreat, Wen Chou was shot in his right arm by Taishi Ci, in order to protect Yuan Tan, and the arrow cluster was almost penetrated into the bone.
Seeing Yuan’s army be defeated, Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief. As Yuan Tan expected, the situation of the defenders in the city was indeed worrying, and the people who were killed were no longer the same. Most of the soldiers who could fight were at the end of their power.
This intimidation was just a bluff.
If Yuan Tan really attacked the city at all costs, it would be a bad luck tonight, but Xu Rong was sure that the Yuan family was impatient and had no real determination.
Soon, the fire on the city tower gradually weakened.
Everything seemed to be silent again.
Yuan Tan, who suffered a defeat, returned to the camp in a shameless manner.
Ju Su was not surprised at all when he learned that he had suffered a defeat. After these days of confrontation, he knew very well that Xu Rong was not Yi and he was not with him. Although Yuan Tan was brave, he was young after all. This defeat, I hope to give him a warning.
One mistake can bring wisdom.
Yuan Tan is not a fool. After gaining a memory, he realized that Ju Su's eyes were long-term, so he changed back to his previous respectful attitude and honestly admitted his mistake: "The boy is stupid and does not listen to the military supervisor, so he will be defeated."
Ju Shuwei led the leader about Yuan Tan's remorse and believed that the child could teach.
However, at this moment, some soldiers reported outside the tent that it was Wang Xiu, the governor of Beihai County, and that an emergency military situation of 100,000 people needed to be reported in person.
Could it be that something big happened to the county town?
Yuan Tan thought to himself and waved his hand to let the soldiers who had sent the news to come in.
When he entered the tent, the soldiers reported to him were panting in a mess, sweating was covered in his forehead, and it was obvious that he was whipping up all the way, and he had little rest. Seeing the shabby Tan, he took out a bamboo slip from his arms and served it, panting: "Great, grandpa, the county city is in danger. The county magistrate asked you to send troops back to help."
What!
Yuan Tan was shocked.
Then he hurriedly grabbed the bamboo slips and opened the viewing. It was indeed Wang Xiu's handwriting. Xin Jian said that Xiahou An joined forces with Tian Kai to raid the county town. Wang Xiu, as the county magistrate, could not resist and asked Yuan Tan to send troops back to the rescue immediately.
After reading it, Yuan Tan was so angry that he gritted his teeth. I tried my best to attack Duchang here, and the soldiers were damaged, but Xiahou An slipped away from his nose and even ran all the way to Yingling, Juncheng, and stole the house!
But he thought about it immediately and felt something was wrong. Xiahou Anbianming supervised the battle on the city tower every day, so how could he go to Yingling?
This is something that Yuan Tan couldn't figure out.
However, after reading it, Ju Su immediately reacted: "I have a good trick to hide the truth, but I even lied to me!"
No wonder he always feels something is wrong these days, but because Xu Rong attracted too much attention from the front, he ignored this true helm of Duchangcheng.
"How can I say this? Could it be that Xiahou An is really?"
Yuan Tan was still puzzled. He had his eyeliners and parade whistle cavalry everywhere outside the city. No movement could be hidden from him. During the siege, no troops had ever left the city. Could it be that Xiahou Anzhen knew the magical art of cloning?
Ju Su shook his head slightly. The clone technique was too mysterious, but he had seen through Xiahou An's tricks and said to Yuan Tan: "Young Master, can you remember that Xiahou An couldn't get sick a few days before we first arrived in Duchang?"
Yuan Tan nodded, and for this, he also mocked Xiahou An's cowardice and incompetence in public.
"I suspect that at that time, Xiahou An had already left the city, so Xu Rong deliberately showed his weakness, in order to reduce our vigilance. As for the one who supervises the battle on the city tower every day, "Xiahou An thought it was just selling dog meat with a sheep's head. It's not difficult to find a substitute with a similar figure."
After listening to Ju Su's analysis, Yuan Tan immediately understood.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case.
Since arriving in Duchang, Xiahou An first said he was ill, but later he attacked the city and fought. Even though the two sides fought fiercely, this "Xiahou An" never showed his face with his face. He just walked on the city tower every day without any movement.
No wonder Xu Rongwei was timid before the war started. Once the fight started, the guy attacked hard again.
What a mother, how dare you fool me!
Yuan Tan clenched his fists and pounded heavily on the table with anger, and was so angry that he swears. It was not that Xiahou An stole the house, but that Xiahou An was playing around like a monkey.
"I will lead the troops back now and I will destroy this thief's body!"
After picking up the helmet and putting it on, Yuan Tan looked like he gritted his teeth.
Wen Chou could have been assigned to lead the troops, but because of the failure to attack the city, Wen Chou was injured in his right arm and it was difficult to fight in a short period of time.
Moreover, Yuan Tan really wants to kill Xiahou An with his own hands!
In contrast, Ju Su was much calmer. He analyzed that this matter was quite suspicious, and it was probably a means of Xiahou An's besieging Wei to save Zhao.
Just imagine, if Tian Kai was driven north of Zhuihe River, if he attacked Yingling, such a big move, Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan, who were responsible for the staying, would not have been unaware of it, so the troops besieging Yingling would definitely not be Tian Kai.
"You mean Wang Xiu lied?" Yuan Tan asked subconsciously.
Ju Su shook his head. This should not be possible. Regardless of whether Wang Xiu was an old disciple of Yuan's family, from a personal perspective, Wang Xiu was also a smart person, and he was also the one who killed Kong Rong and framed Xiahou An. The two were endless. Wang Xiu had no reason to surrender to Xiahou An.
So Ju Su concluded that Xiahou An intentionally bluffed, but in fact he didn't have many real soldiers at hand.
"Then should Beihai save it or not?"
Yuan Tan couldn't help but want to know the answer.
Ju Shu nodded, of course he had to save him.
Not afraid of ten thousand, just fear of what if.
With Ju Shu nodding, Yuan Tan made an act of going out to summon troops.
However, at this moment, Ju Su reached out to stop him.
"What does the military supervisor mean?"
Yuan Tan was very puzzled.
Ju Suze said: "Xiahou An is very tricky and bold. Wang Xiu said before, rightly, this son must not be kept, otherwise there will be endless troubles, so...
