Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 112 Arranging Suspicious Soldiers
The night gradually subsided, and a round of red sun slowly rose.After the Donghu servants cleaned the battlefield, they set up camp again, went into their respective tents and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhou Bo took Zhou Yafu and Chen Ping to inspect the camp, and a soldier hurried over and saluted Zhou Bo: "General, from the corpses on the battlefield, our army killed more than [-] people last night and killed [-] enemies."

"Cremate the corpses of the soldiers on both sides on the spot, and don't pile them up indiscriminately to avoid epidemics."Hearing the comparison of losses between the two sides, Zhou Bo nodded in satisfaction.

"promise".Hearing the order, the soldier quickly saluted again, turned around and walked back.

Watching the soldiers walk away, Chen Ping, who was standing beside Zhou Bo, showed a slight smile: "Our troops killed [-] enemies last night and lost [-], which is our first victory."

"The 20-strong army of the Huns is like a boulder pressing on the hearts of the soldiers of the whole army. After the battle last night, this boulder finally showed signs of loosening."Zhou Yafu took Chen Ping's words and expressed some emotion.

Zhou Bo listened to the two people's remarks, and looked forward: "The Huns' army has not hurt us and we must not be careless."

"That's natural, but I don't know if the Huns will attack today."Zhou Yafu faced Zhou Bo and asked the doubts in his heart.

Chen Ping thought for a moment, then shook his head lightly: "Probably not. Last night, the Xiongnu soldiers and horses almost came out in full force. They returned in a big defeat and were exhausted. They should not attack today."

"Although this is the case, I am afraid that the Xiongnu will choose to fight in the daytime today."Zhou Yafu continued to question, apparently not satisfied with Chen Ping's analysis.

Zhou Bo thought for a moment, then looked at the two of them again: "Last night, the Xiongnu soldiers ran back and forth and were frightened. They don't have the energy to attack the camp today. But there are always exceptions. It should be possible to strengthen the vigilance."

"It can only be like this, after all, the soldiers are exhausted."Zhou Yafu thought of the tiredness on the faces of those soldiers during his inspection just now, and immediately agreed.

Zhou Bo accidentally looked at Chen Ping and saw that he was absent-minded, obviously thinking about something: "What is the military division thinking about?".

"I was thinking about when the lord and the others will arrive, please forgive me for being in the gods for a while."Hearing the question, Chen Ping smiled awkwardly, showing a hint of embarrassment.

Zhou Bo looked at Chen Ping's embarrassment, and smiled: "It's okay, I'm waiting here to chat, not to discuss military affairs in the Chinese military tent."

"I just did some calculations. My lord's headquarters is in Yuanshui. At this time, if the Huns attack by force, even if our army strengthens our vigilance, we may not be able to defend against the tide of the enemy's offensive. After all, time On, maybe too late."Chen Ping thought about the conversation just now from beginning to end.Facing Zhou Bo, express your opinion.

Zhou Bo thought carefully, and looked at Chen Ping for a while: "If you count wearing armor, the time to gather soldiers is indeed a bit rushed."

"So we shouldn't just strengthen our vigilance, we should also prepare more back-ups."When Chen Ping said this, a trace of worry arose in his heart.

Zhou Yafu was a little puzzled: "A second mover? What a second mover. Our army currently has only [-] soldiers and horses. They are all exhausted now, so how can we deploy a second mover?"

"It is precisely because of this that we need to lay down our backs."Chen Ping explained to Zhou Yafu.

Zhou Yafu felt more confused the more he listened: "If there is no extra troops, how to arrange them."

"Prepare with both hands, the whole army will sleep without taking off its armor, and at the same time need reinforcements."Chen Ping explained his strategy. For some reason, he always had a premonition that he would face a crisis during the day.

Zhou Bo seemed to understand, and asked Chen Ping: "You mean reinforcements, is it Lan Zhengqing's troops?".

"It is the [-] troops under Lan Zhengqing's command."Chen Ping nodded. Apart from the [-] soldiers and horses, there is no other reinforcements at hand.

Zhou Bo pondered, calculating the time in his mind.He looked at Chen Ping for a long time, with some doubts in his eyes: "When our army left the tribe, we have already issued military orders to Lan Zhengqing, why do we need to issue them again now?"

"According to the time, he should be here soon."Zhou Yafu was also planning for a while.

Seeing the doubts of the two, Chen Ping smiled: "It is because Lan Zhengqing's troops are coming soon, so it is necessary to let him stop five miles away from our military camp."

"Since he was asked to help, why not enter the camp?"Zhou Yafu only felt confused for a while.

Chen Ping looked at Zhou Yafu: "If you were the Youxian King of the Huns, and you met an enemy like us, what would you think?"

"Could it be reinforcements? King Youxian of the Huns believes that the reason why our army dared to send [-] troops out of the tribe to confront them is because we still have reinforcements in secret."Zhou Yafu's thoughts became clear instantly.

Chen Ping smiled, and continued to ask: "How many reinforcements does he think our army has in secret?"

"I don't know".Zhou Yafu put himself in the opposite position to think, then shook his head.

Chen Ping slowly stated his intentions to the two: "Because I don't know, I am afraid. If the two armies are fighting fiercely, a huge army will be killed from the rear of our army camp. What will the generals of the Huns think?" .

"I just experienced a big defeat last night. If they are frightened like this, they will definitely withdraw their troops like a frightened bird."Zhou Yafu replied without thinking, and couldn't help showing a little admiration for this strategy after speaking.

Zhou Bo thought carefully about Chen Ping's strategy: "It's a trick for suspicious soldiers."

"As the saying goes, there is no danger if you are prepared. If the Huns do not attack in a large scale, everyone will be happy. If they are unwilling, they will attack fiercely. Our department is also prepared, and that is the most ideal situation."After finishing speaking, Chen Ping felt a burst of emotion in his heart. After all, it was because of the huge disparity in strength between the two sides that it required all kinds of planning.If the difference in strength between the two armies is not so huge, there is no need for these arrangements for a normal repair.

Listening to Chen Ping's remarks, Zhou Bo nodded his head: "These two strategies are very good, I need the military commander to worry about it."

"If the lord arrives with an army, why should our department be so careful?"Zhou Yafu didn't know the reason, so he could only sigh with emotion.

Zhou Bo ignored it, looked at the soldiers who were repairing in front, and planned to order: "Come here."

"What is the general's order?"Several soldiers had listened to the general's conversation, so they took a short rest in front.Hearing the order at this time, he quickly stood up and walked over.

Seeing the soldiers bowing and saluting, Zhou Bo immediately ordered: "Pass down the order, all the soldiers of the army cannot take off their armor while sleeping, and they are on standby at any time."

"promise".Several soldiers bowed to accept their orders, turned around and ran to the tents of the generals.

Seeing a few soldiers walking away, Zhou Bo looked at Zhou Yafu and Chen Ping: "Let's go to the camp of the Chinese army immediately and ask Tan Ma to send the military order to Lan Zhengqing."

"Why is it so troublesome, my lord ordered me to take charge of the intelligence, and leave the matter of passing the military order to me."Chen Ping smiled at Zhou Bo and took over the matter.

Zhou Bo was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood.He took Zhou Yafu to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Seeing them walking away, Chen Ping also walked towards a tent.Not long after, an eagle flapped its wings from the camp and flew back.
