Ten miles outside the city.
The soldiers from Beiliang and Chibei unloaded things from the carriages.
Set up the tent in an orderly manner.
With the previous experience of the Dajing Army's surprise attack as a precedent, the two armies were stationed less than 300 meters apart.
A meeting tent was set up at the boundary between Chu and Han.
When Xiahou Dun walked into the tent, he saw the eldest prince of Chibei, Tarhai, followed by Tarsan and Sangbu.
Lieutenant General Sun was seriously injured and could not recover. Xiahou Dun did not want him to travel too far, so he took Lieutenant General Pei with him.
After exchanging pleasantries, they immediately got down to business.
Tarhai had a full beard and his eyes were intimidating without him even getting angry. His expression was very similar to that of the young King Chibei.
It is also because of this that King Chibei likes him particularly.
...
...
On the other hand, Tarsan has a delicate appearance and is very similar to his mother who was born a maid. He has been disliked by King Chibei since birth.
King Chibei’s favorite son must be the second prince born to him and Xue Ji.
It's a pity that he was short-lived.
“I heard that General Xiahou and General Dajing Zhenbei have been fighting on the Beiliang border for many years.
If they were in different camps, they would have become close friends, right? ”
Xiahou Dun smiled and said, "Not bad!"
“That is why knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure you will never be defeated in battle.”
Tarhai said: "In this case, General Xiahou, do you think the Dajing Army will launch a surprise attack tonight?"
Xiahou Dun was stunned. He didn't expect Tarhai to ask this.
He thought for a moment and shook his head: "No."
"Oh? Why?" Tarhai looked like he was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
Xiahou Dun said: "Da Jing doesn't have many soldiers and horses. Only by not leaving the city can we confuse our army."
Tarhai stared at Xiahou Dun closely, as if he wanted to see through him with his eyes.
Xiahou Dun faced his gaze without any fear.
After a long while, Tarhai leaned back slightly and burst into laughter.
"General Xiahou, it just so happens that this king also thinks so."
He stopped laughing, and suddenly you could hear a pin drop in the tent.
Tarsan slowly stood up and approached Xiahou Dun.
He lowered his eyes and spoke slowly and softly: "How about General Xiahou and I attack Dajingzhiyi City tonight?"
"Brother!" Talsan couldn't bear it anymore.
“The Beiliang and Chibei armies have been traveling day and night, and the soldiers’ legs are weak.
If you don’t reorganize and rest, you won’t be able to attack Dajing until we can do so.
The soldiers are almost exhausted! ”
Talhai picked his ears and flicked the dirt from between his fingernails onto Talsan's face.
"Noisy!"
Xiahou Dun saw the discord between the two but did not point it out.
He followed Talhai's words: "Tonight is indeed a good time."
Hearing this, Talhai's lips curled up into an imperceptible smile.
"So, that's it..."
“However,” Xiahou Dun interrupted him, “Prince Sang is right, our army’s strength is well known.
After such a long journey, even this general would be exhausted if he doesn't rest and regroup. ”
Xiahou Dun stood up and patted Tarhai's right arm.
"You young people have great physical strength, please take care of me, a middle-aged person."
After saying that, Xiahou Dun strode out of the tent and headed towards the Beiliang camp without looking back.
Tarhai looked at Xiahou Dun's receding back and said through gritted teeth, "What a cunning old fellow!"
"Sooner or later, I will let you taste my power!"
There were only the Chibei people left in the tent, so Talsan had no worries when he spoke.
“Brother, if you want to launch a surprise attack, bring the soldiers that father gave you.
The soldiers of the Kotar tribe must never die just because of their general's wrong judgment! ”
Xue Ji gave Tarsan troops not only to capture Dajing, but more importantly to take the head of Dajing's prince.
Avenge the second prince and comfort his soul in heaven.
If the Kotar tribe died in vain, he would be even less likely to get help in the future.
Then what can he use to compete with Talhai!
Tarhai narrowed his eyes at him and said, "Do you want to take the soldiers that Hu Riwei left behind for yourself?"
"Is what I said right?"
Tarhai didn't take it seriously and even mocked him: "You lowly slave's son, what qualifications do you have to shout in front of me!"
"You..." Talsan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Prince, please respect yourself!" Sangbu, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him.
"snort!"
He glanced at Sangbu beside him, then looked at Tarsang again: "He brought his male lover with him to the battle, so keep his mouth shut!"
“Otherwise, I will put a collar around his neck and tie him with an iron chain outside the brothel.
Guard the main door during the day and open the back door at night. ”
"Hahaha!" Tarhai swaggered out of the tent.
Tarsan's face turned purple, he clenched his fists, and used all his strength.
Sangbu stepped forward and said, "Third Prince, Sangbu would be dead if you hadn't picked me out from the pile of slaves.
If I had been allowed to join the army and lead troops in battle, earning military merits and escaping slavery, there would not be Sangbu's current situation.
The eldest prince was just speaking out of turn, don't get angry over such a small matter. ”
Tarsan knew that now was not the time to get angry, so he slowly loosened his hand and found that his fingertips had been too forceful, leaving several bloody marks.
He secretly swore: 'Sooner or later, he will replace Talhai! '
…
At night, the north wind howled.
Xiao Jingzhou stood on the city wall and used a night telescope to monitor every move outside the city.
"Your Highness, it's as you expected."
"The Chibei Army is gathering its troops."
"one two three."
"There are three square formations in total, with 30,000 people!"
Yang Jin stood by like a bird of good news, calling out non-stop.
"Huh? Why aren't you moving?"
Gu Zhenbei said in a deep voice: "A sneak attack in the middle of the night, just after dark, how can you let them move?"
If you move again, won't you expose the target of the sneak attack?
Yang Jin was speechless. He saw a man with an unfamiliar face walking out of the commander-in-chief's tent.
"Who is this person?"
"He has a beard, a broad back and a big body, and looks like a big fool."
Gu Zhenbei has been dealing with Beiliang for many years and doesn't know much about the generals of Chibei.
Xiao Jingzhou explained: "The Great Prince of Chibei, Talhai."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Yang Jin, in particular, was merciless in his words.
He said: "I heard that Tarhai looks most like King Chibei. He is so ugly. No wonder Xue Ji doesn't like King Chibei."
"Who would be able to swallow this?"
Gu Zhenbei said in a deep voice: "Tarsan caught up with them, and the two seemed to have had an argument."
Xiao Jingzhou knew lip reading, but unfortunately Tarhai had his back to him. He was very tall and big, and blocked Tarsan completely.
You couldn't see their mouths moving at all.
Soon, Talsan was pushed to the ground and dragged back to the coach's tent by several people.
Yang Jin said with a little disappointment: "This Tarsan is really useless, he can't even stop one person.
Let us be busy at night. ”
Xiao Jingzhou took down the telescope and gave it to Lu Chen for safekeeping.
He ordered calmly:
“Talhai is ten miles away from us, and he will launch a surprise attack as night falls.
We don't have much time left. ”
"Give orders to put out the fires on the city walls tonight."
"Tonight, we will make sure they never come back!"
