Chapter 751 Yue Fei's Bet!
"Your Majesty, if you really want to release this thief, be careful of fraud!"
"No problem!"
Shu Le looked calm and said with a smile: "The people of the Central Plains have always been cunning, and I will naturally not believe their words."
"But if that's the case, why let this man go?"
"Because he is really afraid of death, and the strategy he said is indeed somewhat credible. I want to take a gamble. If he can really open the city gate as promised at midnight tonight, we can avoid a siege!"
"If he pretends to surrender and delays the war, I can easily take his life!"
Hearing Shu Le's words, Wu Rimu showed some doubt on his face, but did not continue to ask.
"Your Majesty, do we still need to attack the city?"
"No!"
Shu Le shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If what Xing Daorong said is true, the surrounding cities are empty, so we will take the border cities first!"
"Have the scouts sent out returned?"
"Report, Marshal, the scouts report that the troops around Yunteng City, Qingmu City, Shuifang City, and Quyang City are very weak."
"Good!"
Shu Le's face was overjoyed, and he said with a smile: "Urimu, Tatasili, Gulibo, the three of you will lead 30,000 troops each, and take the three cities before tonight!"
"Yes!"
Three figures came out, saluted respectfully, and strode out of the general's tent.
Shu Le stood in front of the tent, his eyes gradually became deep, looking at the city not far away and said: "Central Plains, after waiting for a hundred years, is finally going to surrender to my Da Hu's iron cavalry."
...
Yunteng City!
On the tower, several scouts were watching the movements of the Hu Nu camp with telescopes. When they saw a man and a horse rushing out, and more than a hundred riders chasing after him, they all looked surprised.
"Is that General Xing?"
"It seems to be..."
"Quick, report to the commander, General Xing has escaped."
After Yue Fei got the news, he came to the tower as soon as possible. Pan Feng, who was standing by, saw the scars on his good brother's body and instantly revealed a hint of understanding!
It seems that Hu Nu was fooled by Xing Daorong again!
Fake surrender!
Maybe this is a self-torture trick played by Old Xing and Hu Nu.
"Quick, open the city gate and help General Xing back to the city!"
"Yes!"
After the city gate below was opened, Niu Gao personally led a team of cavalry out of the city to help. After Xing Daorong rode his horse through the city gate, he couldn't help laughing: "I, Xing Daorong, am back again, hahahaha!"
Soon, General Xing was arrested in Qingdao. After hearing the news, a group of generals came to visit.
"General Xing, tell me how you escaped from the enemy camp?"
"Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Hu Nu camp, how did you escape?"
Hearing the questions from the generals, Xing Daorong couldn't help showing a proud look: "Of course, those Hu guys let me back!"
"Let you back?"
"That's right!"
Xing Daorong noticed Yue Fei's gaze and didn't continue to keep him in suspense: "The Hu Nu tortured me, so I pretended to surrender and told them that I was willing to cooperate with them to capture Yunteng City."
"They believed me and gave me to Released."
"Since you were released, why did they send people to hunt you down?"
Xing Daorong smiled and said, "In order to make them believe that I surrendered sincerely, I asked them to do this. I told them to pretend to escape from the camp to gain your trust. Tonight at midnight, open the city gate!"
"Uh!"
Everyone was shocked by Xing Daorong's imagination. Pan Feng on the side couldn't help but twitch his mouth. If he remembered correctly, General Xing had used this strategy once in Guanshan, right?
Unexpectedly, he could use the same trick again on Hu Nu!
Such talent is really beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Yue Fei was somewhat amused when he heard Xing Daorong's explanation, but Xing Daorong bowed and said, "General Yue, I told them that there are 500,000 troops stationed in Yunteng City, and the surrounding cities are weak in military strength."
"They have sent people to investigate, and the scouts should have returned to the camp by now."
"If I am right, they should be sending troops to Qingmu City, Shuifang City, and Quyang City soon."
Lan Yu's expression moved, and there was a bit of brilliance in his eyes. Yue Fei couldn't help but smile: "According to my speculation, they will turn their attention to the surrounding cities after they are frustrated in Yunteng City."
"Unexpectedly, by chance, General Xing accidentally added fuel to the fire."
"Very good!"
Yue Fei immediately looked at the map on the side, and a smile appeared on his face.
"General Yue, the troops deployed around us are indeed insufficient. We are afraid that we are no match for Hu Nu if we only rely on the Beiwei Army!"
"Who told you that the troops deployed around us are insufficient?"
"Huh?"
Everyone was puzzled. Lan Yu on the side whispered: "The surrounding cities are indeed empty cities, but General Yue has already transferred all the 200,000 troops in the city out of the city the day before yesterday."
"Now, the entire Yunteng City actually has only 100,000 troops!"
"What!"
All the generals were a little stunned. Yue Fei looked around and whispered: "Since General Xing has set up the stage, we must continue this play."
"Niu Gao!"
"Imperial general."
"Immediately vacate the houses at the north gate and cover them with hay and kerosene!"
"Commander, is it true that Hu Nu will lead his army?"
"Will!"
There was a touch of confidence on Yue Fei's face: "Since they have put General Xing back, it means that they have some luck and even have a backup plan!"
"Even if there is only one in 10,000 chance of opening the city gate, they will give it a try!"
"promise!"
Niu Gao strode out of the general's mansion. Yue Fei looked at Xing Daorong and said, "General Xing, go down and rest first. Tonight at 3:00 pm, the North City Gate will be opened!"
"Shuai Yue, are you really driving?"
"Um!"
"But don't we only have a hundred thousand troops in the city?"
"so what?"
A smile appeared on Yue Fei's face, and he said lightly: "If they want this city, just give it to them."
"But Yunteng City is our important town in the north. If it falls, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"It doesn't matter!"
"The city is gone, but we can still take it back."
Seeing that Yue Fei had made up his mind and the generals stopped trying to persuade him, Xing Daorong left the general's residence with a sad look on his face. For a moment, he didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.
In the general's mansion.
Yue Fei wrote a letter in his own hand, handed it to a man in black and said in a deep voice: "Before dawn tomorrow, reinforcements will arrive in time. The Hunu army... can be defeated!"
The black man nodded slightly and looked at Yue Fei: "What if I can't make it?"
"If we can't make it..." Yue Fei paused for a moment and said, "With an army of 300,000 under my command, a bloody battle is inevitable, and Yunteng City will not be saved."
"yes!"
