Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1362
Qin Tian retreated to the barracks with his soldiers and horses.

The morale of the soldiers was a bit low, and Cheng Chumo and the others were in high spirits.

"Brother Qin, this city of Chuzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, what should we do next?"

It is obviously unwise to attack the city twice as many as the enemy.

Cheng Chumo asked, but Qin Tian couldn't find a good solution for a while. He just thought about it and said, "Temporary truce, don't attack the city lightly."

They must be sure of absolute victory before they can attack the city, otherwise they will attack the city easily, but it will only increase the casualties.

After Qin Tian gave such orders, Cheng Chumo and the others had no choice but to accept the order.

At this time, in Chuzhou City, Ouyang Bo had already returned to his residence.

He told Mrs. Liu about today's situation.

"It seems that although the court's tremors are powerful, it is not easy to capture Chuzhou City."

Mrs. Liu thought for a while, and said: "The imperial court cannot capture Chuzhou City, so the master will have a chance to clear himself of the crime of surrendering to the rebels."

"Ma'am, what do you mean?"

"If the imperial court easily captures Chuzhou City, and you surrender to Qin Tian, ​​will he believe it? Or will he value you? Only when the victory is decided, your choice will be more meaningful."

Ouyang Bo nodded, feeling that what his wife said made sense.

"In Madam's opinion, what should I do?"

Liu said: "Send someone out of the city quietly to get in touch with Qin Tian..."

Mrs. Liu muttered something, and Ouyang Bo thought it was a good idea after hearing it, so he hurried down to make arrangements.

Although Chuzhou City is heavily guarded today, as the governor of Chuzhou City, he still has many ways to get out of the city. It is not a problem to arrange one or two people to go out of the city.

Moreover, the way these two people left the city was very subtle, even the Huainan King's people could not detect it.

Soon, Ouyang Bo sent his people out.

It was night when he went out, and by the time his men arrived at the Tang army camp, it was already the morning of the next day.

After they came, they declared that they wanted to see Qin Tian, ​​but they didn't reveal their identities.

Seeing them like this, the guard hurriedly told Qin Tian about the situation, Qin Tian was a little puzzled after hearing this.

"Anyone wants to see me?"

"Yes, young master, but they won't say who they are, should we arrest them?"

At times like this, they are right to be cautious.

However, after thinking about it, Qin Tian waved his hands and said, "Lead them in."

It's just two people, Qin Tian is not so timid that he dare not even meet two people.

Hearing the order, the guard hesitated for a moment, but he quickly went to bring the two people in.

After they came in, the two looked at each other, and then one of them said: "We have something secret to tell the young man."

The implication is that other outsiders have to leave and cannot listen.

However, Qin Tian smiled slightly, and said: "These people are my confidantes, and I will not hide anything from them. If you have anything to do, just say it."

Seeing this, the two hesitated for a while, and finally, another person said: "If that's the case, then I'll tell you, we are the subordinates of Lord Ouyang Bo, and it is really helpless for Lord Ouyang to surrender to the rebels. The rebel army is coming, if you don’t surrender, the whole Chuzhou will suffer, and we can’t hold it, if this is the case, it’s better to surrender, and when the Tang army comes, we can do internal response.”

This man was eloquent, and he explained the situation clearly in just a few words. Qin Tian was a little puzzled and a little happy when he heard this, but he was very calm on the surface.

"Oh, do internal response?"

The first person nodded at this time: "Yes, as an internal response, tonight..."

Ouyang Bo's people told Qin Tian about Ouyang Bo's plan. After listening to Qin Tian, ​​he thought about it. It stands to reason that Ouyang Bo's method is very wonderful, and it is really possible to succeed.

But the premise is that Ouyang Bo is really willing to be an internal responder.

He needs to carefully consider the situation before he can make a decision.

Fortunately, Qin Tian didn't hesitate for too long, he nodded, and said: "Okay, go back and tell Ouyang Bo that I agree with his plan. If he can defeat the rebels, I will surrender to the rebels. I will surely assure the Holy One that he will be safe."

Hearing these words, those two people finally breathed a sigh of relief, agreed quickly, and then returned to Chuzhou City by the same route.

After the two left, Cheng Chumo immediately said, "Brother Qin, do you really believe Ouyang Bo's words?"

Qin Tian smiled slightly: "This Ouyang Bo is a person who understands current affairs. He knows that the rebel army cannot last long, so he naturally chooses to join forces with us. Don't worry, we will definitely be able to rush into the city of Chuzhou tonight and destroy the rebel army." military."

For this, Qin Tian is full of confidence.

Inside the Tang army camp, a group of soldiers were preparing for the surprise attack tonight.

The night came a little slowly, but it finally came.

The night after the New Year is cold, so cold that people shiver all over.

And just around midnight, some floating hot air balloons suddenly appeared above Chuzhou City, and these things quickly floated over the camp of the rebels.

After floating over, Tang Jun did not hesitate, they immediately shot many rockets into the rebel camp, and the rockets flew down, immediately setting the entire camp on fire.

At the same time, they started throwing loud noises from the air.

The sky-shaking sound exploded in the barracks, and the whole barracks was in chaos.

"The Tang army attacked the camp, the Tang army attacked the camp..."

Some people were frightened and couldn't help shouting, but after they shouted a few times, they suddenly thought that the Tang army had never captured Chuzhou City, so how could they attack the camp?
However, after someone yelled, the entire barracks became even more chaotic.

A group of rebels kept shouting, there were firefighters and defenses, and the barracks were in chaos.

King Huainan woke up from his sleep and sat up immediately.

"what happened?"

"My lord, the Tang army set fire to our barracks. It seems that they are trying to tire us out."

The counselors of King Huainan felt that this might be Qin Tian's plan to exhaust the army.

After hearing this, King Huainan felt that it made sense, but even if it was a strategy to exhaust the army, it would have a great impact on them.

"Extinguish the fire as soon as possible, stabilize the situation in the barracks, and not be led by the nose by Qin Tian."

The servants took orders to retreat, but at this time, King Huainan was always feeling a little uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

After thinking about it for a long time, King Huainan quickly ordered again: "Come here, send troops to the city gate to prevent the Tang army from attacking the city at night."

It is unlikely to attack the city at night, but he thinks it is better to be more cautious.
