Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Just when Zuo Wangfeng was in the big tent and was in a very bad mood.

"Stop, stop, stop hitting her. She is the prince's person. If you really hurt her, the prince will blame her. Who can afford it?"

A young man's loud shout was heard outside the big tent.

Seeing this, the two soldiers who were hitting Shuiyue with the board had no choice but to stop and dared not to continue fighting.

Shuiyue lay on the ground, her face as pale as paper in pain, her entire buttocks were beaten into a bloody mess, and soon her eyes closed and she passed out.

The young man ordered two soldiers to carry her to another tent, and after applying medicine to her to treat her wounds, he ran into the big tent with a grin on his face and his legs crossed.

As soon as he came in, he stared at the deputy generals kneeling on the ground and said, "Stop kneeling, get up!"

"Yes, young master." Several deputy generals hurriedly thanked him, stood up from the ground, stepped aside and stood quietly, not daring to say a word more.

The young man walked over to Zuo Wangfeng and sat down and said, "Dad, don't be upset. It's normal that Shuiyue can't beat Gu Chan."

"Who asked you to come?" Zuo Wangfeng temporarily suppressed his anger and asked.

Not bad!

The person who came was none other than his eldest son Zuo Yun.

When he led the army to Jiangnan on the order of the crown prince, he clearly told Zuo Yun to stay at home in Kyoto and not to cause trouble for him unless necessary. However, he did not expect that Zuo Yun quietly ran away right after he led the troops to the battle.

As a result, Zuo Yun did not appear in front of him until he arrived in Jiangnan. Now, if he wants his son to go back, it is probably impossible.

Zuo Yun said in a careless manner, "Mom said that your waist is not in good condition, so she asked me to help her take care of you."

"Get out! I warn you, go back early tomorrow morning, otherwise I will punish you by military law." Zuo Wangfeng said with a stiff face.

"Dad, don't chase me away! Let me play in tomorrow's offensive and defensive battle. I promise to win a game and save your face." Zuo Yun said hurriedly.

"Are you confident that you can beat Gu Chan?" Zuo Wangfeng said with his eyes narrowed.

He knew very well how capable his son was. Apart from being a little clever, Zuo Yun was not suitable for staying in the military camp in terms of physical fitness, strength, and intelligence.

This is also the biggest reason why he did not allow his son to join the military camp for so many years.

But the boy was disobedient and even when Zuo Yun was asked to take the imperial examinations, he failed at all. So until now, Zuo Wangfeng had long been disappointed with his son.

Zuo Yun didn't care at all. He patted his chest and said, "Dad, let's put it this way! Just give me 5,000 troops, and I guarantee that in this second offensive and defensive battle, we will successfully enter Jiangnan City and save your face."

"Are you sure?" Zuo Wangfeng asked with a frown.

"Anyway, Shuiyue lost so badly that you lost all your face. If I lose again, you won't be afraid of being embarrassed. But if I win, won't I give you face?" Zuo Yun said with a smirk.

Zuo Wangfeng didn't even think about it and just waved his hand to refuse.

However, several deputy generals stood up and spoke well of Zuo Yun.

"General, the young master has been very smart since he was young. He dared to say this, so he must have had a plan in mind. I think we can let him have a try."

"Yes, General, we urgently need to win a battle to stabilize the morale of the army. Otherwise, if all the soldiers defect to Gu Chan and don't come back, how can we take over the Jiangnan area?"

"General, please let the young master lead the troops to the battle. We are willing to go with him to atone for our sins."

"This..." Zuo Wangfeng was in a dilemma, not knowing whether he should agree or not.

Zuo Yun smiled calmly and said, "Dad, this is just a military exercise of attack and defense. Are you afraid that I will die? If I lose, wouldn't the worst result be that I will be beaten by Gu Chan and run away? And to put it bluntly, my second game is not the highlight. Your third game the day after tomorrow is the most important."

"Okay, then you try it. Remember don't show off. If you lose, you lose. Don't fight to the death. And don't be like Shuiyue and kill your own people." Zuo Wangfeng finally agreed.

Zuo Yun happily stood up and saluted.

Then he left with these deputy generals who were eager to atone for their crimes, directly selected 5,000 light cavalry, started crossing the river, and then headed towards Jiangnan City.

An hour later, on the city wall of Jiangnan City.

At this time, Xu Ziguang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, because the spy he had just sent out reported that Zuo Wangfeng had sent a team of light cavalry, who were swaggering towards this side.

He used to be a county magistrate and had no combat experience at all. Now that he is the commander-in-chief of the patrol office, he naturally feels worried.

Moreover, Yan Kuan's side won a great victory in the first offensive and defensive battle during the day, and now the whole Jiangnan City is in jubilation. If he loses the second offensive and defensive battle, wouldn't he be extremely embarrassed?

But just when he was anxious, Gu Chan led Yuan Jie to the top of the city wall.

As soon as he saw Gu Chan, he grabbed a life-saving straw and said, "My Lord, you are finally here. Zuo Wangfeng has sent another cavalry to attack the city!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? It hasn't even passed midnight yet. Even if he wants to attack you, he has to wait until after midnight. Otherwise, it won't count as the second round of the next day." Gu Chan said calmly.

"That's true, but on the battlefield, all is fair in war. If he really attacks in advance, I'll be in trouble." Xu Ziguang said with a sad face.

Gu Chan was just about to speak when she suddenly saw a little fire in the darkness ahead. Then a team of about two thousand cavalrymen suddenly rushed towards Jiangnan city in a swaggering manner.

The leader was none other than Zuo Yun. The soldiers behind him all held a torch in their hands, making quite a big scene.

Xu Ziguang was dumbfounded and said, "Are you so arrogant? You're attacking the city with torches? You don't take me, Lord, seriously at all!"

"What on earth is Zuo Wangfeng doing? I don't understand it!" Yuan Jie said puzzledly as she stood aside.

At this time, not only her, but also Xu Ziguang and the soldiers on the city wall did not understand Zuo Yun's actions at all.

Logically speaking, in an attack and defense like this, and at night, wouldn't it be the best tactic to quietly bring people over for a surprise attack? But Zuo Yun didn't do that. Instead, he came over with a torch, as if he was afraid that Gu Chan and the others didn't know that he was bringing people to attack the city.

This is indeed quite intriguing.

Gu Chan frowned and said, "Everyone, prepare your defenses. Don't act rashly. Let's see what the other party means first."

"Yes, lord." All the soldiers responded in unison.

Then everyone became extremely alert, stood on the top of the city wall, made preparations, and waited to see the next move of the cavalry in front.
