"This is done to intimidate our army, and secondly..." Yan Yingyuan took another sip of porridge and said slowly: "Warfare is the art of deception! The Jiannu wanted to use this trick to confuse me."
"Hmm...I didn't understand!" Ding Yi scratched his head, and when he reached out to grab the leg of lamb, he found that it was missing.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the defenders on the city were passing the food around.
