That night, Huo Xiao rushed into the commander's mansion with an angry expression on his face: "My lord, Xiao Yun's soldiers and horses have arrived at the gate, and they are shouting and cursing at the gate."

Jiang Huaichu said lightly: "What are you scolding?"

Huo Xiao said angrily: "They said that we are... cowards, that we have the ability to be cowards for the rest of our lives, and told us not to waste their time, just give a word and admit that we are... the grandson of a coward, and they went back home , They went back and said to the outside world, Nanpang Jiang Huaiyi is... a big bastard, and Duan Wang is a... a bastard brother..."

The general stood up abruptly: "How dare they!"

"..." Jiang Huaichu lowered his face, still calm, "Don't be angry."

The soldiers in Beining learned from their emperors, and their ability to swear is superb. Many countries have asked for advice. Their mouths alone have already made countless generals sick with swearing. This is really "a soldier who surrenders without fighting", Psychological blows, dredging from the bottom of the pot, killing the enemy invisible.

"They also said that Prince Duan... broke his promise and was shameless at such a young age."

"They!" The generals glanced at Duan Wang, whose face was sinking like water, and clenched their fists.

Huo Xiao suppressed his anger: "They said we wouldn't come out, so they scolded us until we came out. Anyway, they have plenty of food and grass, and a million troops will arrive soon..."

"My lord, the old man requests to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to fight!"

"My lord! How can they be allowed to be arrogant! Do you really think I have no one in Nanfang?!"

One person calmly said: "It is absolutely inappropriate to go to battle. The city of Nanpang is indestructible, and there are armored spearmen and archers in the city. Defense is our advantage. If we really open the city gate, Xiao Yun's troops will be all iron cavalry. When the time comes, they will rush in." The city, once the city gate is broken..."

"Yes," another man with a calm face said, "We must not fall for their aggressive tactics."

One person said indignantly: "Then let him scold? We have Mi Luo to help us, and more than [-] troops are in our hands. The enemy's provocation is so provocative, and they have insulted the Holy One and the prince, but we are shrinking back. How about the morale of the people? What should I think? What should people in the world think?!"

The man with a calm face said: "No matter what, you can't open the city gate! You can't show the courage of ordinary people! Be patient for a while and think about the people!"

Another person said: "Yes, you should stick to it. Xiao Yun's imperial conquest, the morale of the opponent is bound to be high. Our army is timid when we hear that it is Emperor Daning's personal conquest. How can we defeat the opponent?"

The generals quarreled violently, most of them suggested ignoring it, while the other half clamored and insisted on going out of the city to meet the enemy.

Duan Wang was calm and relaxed, his face did not change, just sitting there made people feel at ease.

A person trotted in outside the camp and walked to Jiang Huaichu's side. Jiang Huaichu looked at him, and he whispered a few words in Jiang Huaichu's ear. Jiang Huaichu's lips curled up and waved at him.

The man walked down quickly.

Everyone quarreled for a while, and finally looked at Prince Duan, who was at the top. When they were undecided, they would hand it over to the prince for adjudication. Even if someone disagreed with the prince's decision-making process, the result was always convincing: "My lord , you make up your mind! We all listen to you!"

Huo Xiao understood Jiang Huaichu's character. Jiang Huaichu was the most calm and forbearing person. He never acted impulsively, liked to plan, and never fought unprepared battles. Humiliated to the emperor and this king, how can this king not fight?"

The generals were stunned: "My lord?"

After Huo Xiao was stunned for a while, his face showed joy: "This subordinate requests to lead troops out of the city to fight!"

Jiang Huaichu shook his head and smiled calmly: "They said that Nanpang was shrinking and refused to open the city gate, so let's open it to see if they dare to enter."

"My lord?!" The generals were shocked.

Emperor Xiaodi of Daning was famous all over the world for charging into the battle. When the gate of the city was opened, didn't he really hit the enemy's wish?

Huo Xiao said: "But it's an empty city plan?"

The general also looked over, it was an empty plan, and the risk was too great.

Xiao Yun is notorious for not playing cards according to common sense. No one can figure out what his personality is. If he can't figure out his personality, naturally he can't speculate and predict his decision-making according to his personality.

At this time, it is better to forbear and strictly guard, this is the safest.

Jiang Huaichu did not reply, but said calmly: "Everyone can trust me?"

Several generals looked at each other and said without hesitation: "I can trust it!"

Jiang Huaichu said with a smile: "Then listen to me, go home tonight, whether it's good to have a drink and talk, or reunite with your wife and daughter, I will give you a holiday tonight."

"My lord...?" The expressions of several generals were incredulous.

The prince never had this unpredictable style before.

Huo Xiao took a slow look at Jiang Huaichu.

He knew what Jiang Huaichu had done in the past few months.

Jiang Huaichu should have thoroughly understood Xiao Yun's character, found out the inherent weaknesses in Xiao Yun's character, and could 100% predict Xiao Yun's decision-making, so he dared to propose such a bold plan.

He has finally completed his confidant, so even the frightening Daning Emperor Xiao is in his pocket.

"This king can capture the enemy's general if he doesn't lose a single soldier," Jiang Huaichu said, "This king guarantees the head of the item, so you can rest assured."

The person sitting on the upper hand has a pale complexion, unparalleled demeanor, dark and gentle eyes, and a calm expression of planning, which makes people feel at ease invisibly, and does the work of dogs and horses.

These words are so serious, and King Duan has always made solemn promises, making people extremely trustworthy. Several generals looked at each other and nodded: "Okay!"

Everyone went down, and Jiang Huaichu's straight back relaxed a little.

His waist and back were sore, Jiang Huaichu frowned slightly, he squeezed his stomach together, looked at the bulge that was almost impossible to hide, and sighed softly.

Toffee was right, he still underestimated how fast the child would grow up.

It's only been half a month, and wearing obscene clothes and looking sideways in the mirror has already become too obvious, and the waist is almost twice as thick as before.

During the day he had to discuss matters with the generals, and at night he had to be ready to get up at any time. He had no choice but to wrap his waist around his waist, but he didn't dare to wrap it too tightly for fear of affecting his children. It was better than nothing.

Talk to people, be able to sit in front of the case, never stand, go out less, try not to show up.

The thicker the clothes, the looser they are. Fortunately, he is not afraid of the heat, and there is an ice cellar in the city, so the commander's mansion can cool down.

Even so, the generals stayed on his stomach longer and longer, and their eyes changed from secretly joking that he thought he was getting fat to slightly puzzled.

At most half a month, he had to leave the border, otherwise he couldn't hide it completely.

He will find a way to get Xiao Yun to retreat within half a month.

Jiang Huaichu gritted his teeth, his mind was full of the man who was laughing and scolding in high spirits.

Blame him.

……

Outside the Yeming Pass, Xiao Yun took off his silver helmet and held it in his arms. He was wearing a heavy and straight armor. The clear moonlight shone on him, and a stream of light was cold and sharp.

Tall and tall, shoulders stretched and waist straight, handsome and stern, like an invincible god of war, it is daunting.

However, when he opened his mouth, his temperament was completely ruined: "This group of bastards will be able to be tortoises until next year. I will not bother with them. I will disturb my sleep to become handsome, and seduce the little girl from the enemy country to open the city gate for me."

Xie Zhe: "..."

Xiao Yun said lazily: "Tell them, let them scold vigorously, those who scold are innovative, or who are loud, come back to receive the reward. I value fairness most, and everyone who wants to scold has a chance. One batch at a time. When the time comes, we will change the batch."

"……Yes."

Xiao Yun looked up at the pale-faced Nan Pang soldiers on the city wall. He felt relieved and snorted: "I don't want to let King Duan know the price of offending me. If he has the ability, he will continue to torture me. I will ask someone to torture him." It's just spitting on the shell."

When Xiao Yun thought of the rumor that Duan Wang, who was no less important than Jiang Huaiyi, was scolded, his face turned green and then pale, he didn't think about eating and drinking, and couldn't sleep well, so he felt very happy.

Xie Zhe: "...Yes."

Xiao Yun said: "If you don't come out at noon tomorrow, they will all withdraw and discuss to prepare for a strong attack."

Xie Zhe was taken aback: "Minger? In such a hurry?"

Xiao Yun said impatiently: "It's not like I'm here to quarrel with King Duan, he's nothing."

He blinked and smiled again: "I'm here to find the little one."

"...Careless one?" Xie Zhe was stunned, feeling numb for a while, thinking that when Xie Caiqing was mentioned a few days ago, Xiao Yun was still cursing, hesitant to speak, "Your Majesty was deceived by him, why did you call him... ..."

"What?" Xiao Yun looked at him, "Your brain is too rigid."

"...?" Xie Zhe looked at him blankly.

Xiao Yun lazily said: "Prince Duan told me that there is no such person around Jiang Huaiyi. I don't think there is a fake one. My own people in the palace also tried to find a way to inform me that there is no one named Xie Caiqing around Jiang Huaiyi. Xie Caiqing If he is not with Jiang Huaiyi, then of course he is one of my people, of course he is my heart."

Xie Zhe listened to this inference, his expression was blank for a while, and he couldn't explain his words, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty was deceived by him..."

"I haven't forgotten!" Xiao Yun scolded with a smile, "I'm not cheap, think about it, when I found him, I scolded him sharply, and two and a half months after he went back, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was much better than Jiang Huaiyi, and I loved him again Youshuai is still the emperor, the number one in the world, he regretted so much, apologized humbly, used his body to ask for forgiveness from me, and vowed to give up his heart to me, I was generous enough to take him back, and lived happily together. Isn't it my heart?"

Xiao Yun said: "I have to tell you every step, so you can understand? Deduction, will it?"

"..." Xie Zhe thought to himself, then you can't just skip the process and call someone according to the result.

Xiao Yun was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "Then I'll go back to sleep—"

The continuous yelling and cursing suddenly stopped, and the generals and soldiers of Daning were all shocked, looking at the city gate that was open to them in front of them.

Many generals rubbed their eyes.

On the bottomless moat that was five people wide in front of me, the solid bridge built to block the enemy was laid down by the defenders, as if to welcome the enemy.

Huo Xiao rode out of the city on a tall horse, with his head held high, standing behind the bridge, and shouted at the dumbfounded enemy army on the opposite side: "Emperor Xiaodi of Daning came to visit, and the lords are so fragrant, so urgently request, we Duan Wang said , he, this junior, has to be respectful, and he must not neglect Emperor Ning, so he opened the gates of the city, and invited Emperor Ning and the generals to enter the city!"

He graciously moved his horse aside, gave way to a wide path, and extended his hand to greet him: "Please!"

……

After a short period of silence, the people on the other side of the moat all exploded. After boiling for less than a few seconds, they glanced at the proud soldiers on the city gate, and lowered their voices in unison, as if they were afraid of being caught by the other side. Knowing that he is hesitant and timid.

Xiao Yun stared at the city gate with an unpredictable expression.

It took Xie Zhe a long time to wake up from the shock. King Xin Dao Duan is really a wonderful person, with extraordinary courage and insight, unpredictable thoughts, and the level of playing cards that do not follow common sense can almost match His Majesty. No wonder the people of Nanpu regard him as a god .

Zhang Yuanqi ran up to Xiao Yun and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is no one at the city gate, but the defenders look arrogant. There is probably an ambush in the city."

Meng Heng immediately said: "Impossible. An hour ago, there should be news from the city that there was no action in the city. It was only an hour. Even an ambush is not good at all. We have prepared in advance for this level of ambush." , the loss will be very small.”

"But if the ambush was not done well, how could they open the city gate so blatantly? They are not afraid of our cavalry rushing in?"

"Don't you understand? We scolded them like this and made them lose face. Of course they want to show us off and make us lose face!"

Zhang Kui, with a sturdy figure and fierce facial features, said: "Damn it! This door is open, can we not enter?! Doesn't this make the world laugh! What if it's an empty city plan?! What if it's really an ambush?" No, just bluff us and bet that we dare not enter?"

"But King Duan is an extremely conservative and cautious person. How could he bet heavily on Yeming Pass for a small profit?! There must be a complete ambush!"

"Yes, it would not be surprising if His Majesty did this, but this is Prince Duan..."

Xiao Yun frowned.

Although he is arrogant, he still needs to know himself and the enemy. As far as he knows, King Duan is clearly a cautious and forbearing person, and he would never take such a risk for the sake of face. If a person with a deep city mansion is sure that he will guess that there is an ambush in his city and refuse to enter, then he will be fooled, wouldn't Daning be ridiculed by the people of the world?

If you enter, you may be in an ambush, and you will lose your troops and generals. If you enter, it may be an empty city plan. If there is no ambush, you will kill the Quartet.

If you don't enter, you will never be ambushed, but if you don't enter, you will definitely be ridiculed by the world no matter what.

Advance, if you ambush and lose your troops, you will be ridiculed by the people of the world.

So there are three possibilities, only the second one is completely beneficial to them that there is no ambush in the city.

The remaining two kinds are both damages, one is damage to people and reputation, and the other is damage to reputation.

If you don't advance, you will only lose your reputation. This is the middle policy. If you advance, you will either kill the Quartet, or you will lose your troops and lose your reputation. These are the best and worst policies respectively.

King Duan bet that he would not dare to enter, because in this game, two-thirds of the chances are lost by himself, it is nothing more than a big loss and a small loss. There is no need for him to take the risk of betting with him. Absolutely has the upper hand, there is only [-] cavalry at present, there is no need to play this unfair bet with him.

This is a gamble that even if he does nothing, hesitates on the spot, and closes the city gate hypocritically and quickly after 3 minutes, he will lose the bet.

Duan Wang's meaning is very clear, forcing him to suffer from being dumb, and insinuating that he is shrinking his head and trying to find his place.

Xiao Yun suddenly admired King Duan a little bit. At such a young age, he has the courage to figure out the enemy's mind to this extent.

However, that is an ordinary enemy.

I am Xiao Yun.

He must have underestimated himself too much.

Is he a little brat who can be led by the nose?

Losing is a small loss, because there is only one hour, and it is better for Duan Wang to have no time to ambush. If there is no ambush, winning is a big win.

Why not play a gamble with him?After all, possible gains far outweigh possible losses.

He will not do what Duan Wang wants.

He has never believed in this evil, he has no fear, and his favorite thing is to gamble and play.

King Duan thought that he had predicted the general enemy's mind, so he would of course kill him by surprise.

On the opposite side, Huo Xiao pulled the reins, and said with a proud smile: "We, King Duan, said that Nanpu, a country of etiquette, will naturally treat guests well. Why are you still hesitating? If you really dare not enter, then I see what you said earlier, I am afraid that I will return it to you intact!"

The Nanpang soldiers laughed and echoed loudly.

General Daning blushed with anger, especially Zhang Kui, who wanted to pounce on him and kill Huo Xiao with a two-axe.

The meaning of these words is very clear. They used to scold King Duan for being a bastard who dared not open the door, but now they are calling them back for being a bastard who dare not enter the city.

It's hard to get off a tiger for a while.

The general Qi Qi looked at Xiao Yun, waiting for him to issue orders filled with righteous indignation.

The corner of Xiao Yun's mouth was full of smiles, and he said lazily, "Who is going to fight?"
