Ying Yuan waited all night and was scolded by the Chu army soldiers all night.
But they still hadn't waited until the moment they stepped into the city gate.
He was completely desperate.
They opened the city gates, but the Chu army still did not make any moves.
It’s just a matter of handing over Hangu Pass!
The next morning.
Ying Yuan was still sitting upright in the chair.
At this time, many soldiers had already woken up.
They looked towards where Ying Yuan was one after another.
Someone clearly observed that his eyes were full of bloodshot.
They secretly thought that His Majesty the Emperor must have done this so that he could have a good rest.
So, he stayed on the top of the city wall for a whole night.
What is the reality?
Ying Yuan was eagerly looking forward to the enemy attack and was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
But after waiting for the enemy for a whole night and seeing no sign of them coming to attack, they couldn't help feeling sad.
So I secretly wiped my tears and cried for a while.
Therefore, it is normal to have bloodshot eyes.
However, the soldiers felt that this was a sign of His Majesty the Emperor burning himself to illuminate others.
After a while.
Yu Jin, Lu Bu, Pan Feng and others came up to him and bowed one after another, saying:
"Your Majesty, you have been guarding here all night. It is time to go back and rest."
"Your Majesty, your health is paramount. The enemy has been scolding you all night and is now exhausted. They have returned to camp to rest. Please take this opportunity to rest well."
"Thanks to your majesty's strategy, the enemy's evil plot was thwarted. If it weren't for your majesty, Hangu Pass would have been in danger. Now, your majesty, you can take this opportunity to have a good sleep."
“…”
Hearing this, Ying Yuan was speechless.
The anger in my heart rose again.
Look, is this something a human can say?
What does it mean that thanks to my strategy, the Chu army's evil plan failed to succeed?
You can't pierce my heart like this, right?
At least you can give me some time to slow down, right?
This bitch doesn't know when to stop. She takes a knife and stabs me in the heart!
If you really have the ability, just stab me to death!
"I'm fine. If the enemy attacks the city, remember to tell me. I really need a good rest."
If I continue to stay here, I'm afraid I'll be so angry that I'll die.
It would be fine if he died of anger, but unfortunately he was half dead.
Afterwards, Ying Yuan walked down from the city wall.
Lü Bu said, "General Yu, I forgot to ask His Majesty whether the city gate should be closed.
It would be inappropriate to bother Your Majesty again. You are the commander of Hangu Pass. In your opinion, should this gate be closed or not?"
When he and Yu Jin worked together to deal with Ying Chengjiao, they formed a deep friendship.
Yu Jin said, "If Your Majesty were here, this plan would still work. But now that Your Majesty has gone back to rest, there's no need to keep the city gate open. Let's close it first."
When the Chu soldiers saw the gate of Hangu Pass slowly closing, the Chu general Yang Youji burst into laughter.
A soldier was puzzled and asked, "Why are you laughing, General?"
Yang Youji smiled and said, "Fortunately, we didn't attack the city last night. I was thinking, how could the enemy sleep when our army was cursing at the gates of the city?
This general guesses that they did not sleep at all last night, but were lying in ambush, waiting for our army to attack the city.
Now that the night has passed and daybreak has arrived, they have been busy laying in ambush and haven't slept all night, so naturally they need to close the city gates and rest up."
As soon as he finished speaking, another soldier asked, "General, what should we do now?"
Yang Youji said, "We haven't slept all night either, so we need to rest. Send a message to the three armies and let the soldiers rest well.
Wait till tonight and continue shouting and cursing in front of Hangu Pass."
In his opinion, as long as he could complete the task assigned to him by Wu Qi, that would be enough.
No need to add any more complications.
If he were younger, he might have taken advantage of the fact that the city gates were wide open last night and charged in.
But I am old now after all.
Not willing to take risks.
...
Inside the city lord's palace.
Ying Yuan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
I kept thinking about the situation of the Chu army.
I became more certain of my plan.
That is to attack the enemy at night.
Until noon.
Ying Yuan discovered that if he didn't accomplish what he had set his mind to, he would never be able to sleep.
After lunch.
He summoned Jia Xu, Yu Jin and others and said earnestly, "You have all been on the battlefield for a long time, so you must be aware of one thing.
That is, blindly defending can only lead to passive attacks, while the best defense is actually offense.
This morning, I have been thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy. Now, I have decided that I can no longer hide in the city gates and not leave.
Our army can take the initiative to attack the enemy. What do you think of this strategy of mine?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned.
At present, the total number of guards in Hangu Pass is only 50,000.
After all, the casualties in the previous defense of the city were too great, and even if 30,000 fresh blood of soldiers were added, it would be of no avail.
With only 50,000 people, how can we take the initiative?
However, Jia Xu suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Your Majesty, this is a brilliant plan!"
Hearing the voice, Ying Yuan frowned deeply.
Whenever Jia Xu agreed with his strategy, he would always have a bad feeling in his heart.
It is still the same today.
What's a good idea?
What does he mean?
