Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 533 Guo Tu "Stealing Chicken"

All the family members of Yuan's family left the tent of the Chinese army, and everyone greeted Xu You, and their hopes were pinned on Xu Junshi.

Xu You was very imposing, with an air of aloofness, he waved his hands and said, "My lord's great cause depends on you all."

Only Guo Tu and Xin Ping didn't pay attention to Xu You at all. Instead, they felt disgusted when they saw Xu You, and they left together.

On the way, Guo Tu said: "Zhongzhi, if Xu You gains power, he will be very close to you and me, and must find a way to destroy it."

Xin Ping was shocked. Although he fought with Xu You, if he undermined Xu You's strategy, he would destroy Yuan Shao's great cause. This is a rebellion. "Gongze, it's about the safety of our army, think twice before acting."

Guo Tu saw Xin Ping's worry, and he hurriedly said: "Zhong Zhi, you are wrong, how can I do something that endangers the lord? What I mean is, if we can find out Xu You's plan, let's go ahead of him. The credit is ours."

This is a proposition, Xin Ping nodded for a while.

Afterwards, under the cover of night, the two quietly came to the back of Xu You's tent.

In the tent, Xu You was drinking tea, looking thoughtful, when he suddenly noticed a figure shaking behind the tent.As soon as his heart moved, he was happy, thinking that the fish had finally taken the bait.He didn't tell the plan right away, it was just for some people.He called the servant over, giving orders like this and that.

After a while, when Guo Tu and Xin Ping felt that there would be no results today, there was a conversation between Xu You and a servant in the tent.

The servant said: "Master, you can get enough arrows in three days, which is calculated as a hundred thousand. If you can't finish it, the lord will be angry, so don't worry about it."

Xu You proudly said: "So, so, so, so..., this is the method of warfare that my mentor and I have researched. It is called borrowing arrows from straw boats. When we go out at night, if Qin Zi enters without knowing it, he will definitely release his arrows first to retreat from the enemy. You can take the opportunity to collect arrows. This kind of tactics is only known to me and my mentor, and it has never appeared in the world, but it is comparable to Sun Wu's art of war, and it will definitely be a great success."

Xu You said in particular: "I wouldn't tell anyone at first, but you are my confidant, and I need you to make a straw man secretly immediately, so I will tell you. You make a straw man secretly immediately, and I will be there in three days." Use it, don’t let anyone know, especially people like Guo Tu and Xin Ping.”

"Master, please rest assured, I will handle it right away." The servant said and left.

After Xu You hurriedly observed the tent secretly, he found a figure shaking. Xu You was overjoyed, "Guo Tu, Xin Ping, you two are from Nanyang, and you still want to fight with me in Yingchuan, hum~."

a while.

Guo Tu and Xin Ping returned to Guo Tu's camp, and they couldn't hide their joy.Xin Ping couldn't help saying: "It's a good strategy to borrow arrows from the straw boat."

Guo Tu immediately said: "There is nothing to brag about. Xu You didn't come up with this alone. Those who came out of Yingchuan are all conspiratorial, so they can figure out such a scheming plan. Xu Shu, Guo Jia, and even the dead Xi Zhicai are very cunning. They are not as decent as Mr. Pang from Nanyang..."

Xin Ping nodded for a while.

Guo Tu said again: "Since Xu You will go on the third day, we will go tomorrow and borrow arrows before he does. The credit will be ours."

Ever since, Xin Ping and Guo Tu mobilized their own people overnight to collect straw to make scarecrows and other arrow-receiving objects in the dead of night.Because the arrow has a certain strength, it is very easy to bend the arrow shaft, the arrow is blunted, straw and other objects are the best choices for arrow collection.

At the second watch of the second night, Guo Tu and Xin Ping privately mobilized fifty boats, each with ten people, and everything was ready with curtains, straw, straw figures, etc.Another fifty boats were connected with long cables, and they set out to the north bank.

As soon as Guo Tu and Xin Ping acted, Xu You received the news.

"Master, Guo Tu and the others are leaving." The servant hurried to report.

Xu You laughed loudly and said, "There's a good show to watch now. Go and keep an eye on the pier in a while, and report back to me immediately if there is any movement, so I can go to the show."

The servant didn't understand, "Master, Guo Tu and the others learned about your plan, so you're not worried at all?"

Xu You laughed even more, and said, "You will know when the sun rises."

It was night, the moon was not clear, and the river was locked in darkness. As winter was about to enter, the second half of the night was extremely cold.

In the water village of the Qin Army on the north bank of the Yellow River, Gan Ning was on duty that day.

Gan Ning devoted himself to his duties and stayed up all night, patrolling the water village.

All of a sudden, there was a loud shout in the middle of the river, drums and horns contended, and it was pitch black that no one knew how many enemies had come.But listening to the sound of the drums, there must be many enemies coming.

Gan Ning didn't dare to make decisions without knowing the enemy's situation at night. On the one hand, he blew the horn to summon the navy to stand by, and on the other hand, he immediately flew a report to Qin Feng.

After a while, the messenger came back, and Qin Feng's order came, "General, my lord has an order. Yuan Jun has lived in peace for two days, and suddenly attacked at night today. There must be fraud in it. You can shoot arrows to defend against the enemy."

This is the old man's strategy to seek the country, and Gan Ning also thought so.

Therefore, Gan Ning immediately ordered the assembled navy to shoot arrows at the river where the sound came from within the wall of the water village.

After a while, Zhao Yun led three thousand army archers to the shore to assist in shooting.

On the other hand, in the middle of the river, Yuan Jun was on board.

Guo Tu and Xin Ping were still scared at first, as were the sergeants accompanying the army.But now, they were overjoyed on the boat, looking at the flying arrows, and for the first time, they felt that the enemy's large-scale shooting of arrows was so friendly.In the past, the bow and arrow who killed people without blinking an eye are now so kind in the eyes of the two of them.

Because Guo Tu and his ships have undergone special modifications, they are all covered with curtains and straw, so they are not afraid of being shot at all, and they can also collect arrows.

In the cabin, Guo Tu snorted again in joy, "Xu You, who came out of Yingchuan, really has some brains to come up with such a good idea."

Instead, Xin Ping said: "Brother Guo's words are wrong. Mr. Sima Hui clearly taught him this. He just has a good teacher."

"You are so right, come, come, drink this cup to the brim!" Guo Tu raised his glass.

At this point, Guo Tu and Xin Ping had already figured it out. They were not afraid of the Qin army shooting arrows at all. Instead, they stayed in the cabin, watching the spectacle of collecting arrows outside, drinking and enjoying the view.

Arrow shooting in ancient times is as addictive as gun shooting in later generations, especially if the enemy does not fight back.

Gan Ning had a great time shooting. It was the first time for Gan Ning to release arrows on such a large scale. When he was a water thief, he used to shoot arrows based on the number of arrows. Because there were not many in stock, he dared not shoot without hesitation.But it's different now. The Qin army's military reserves are too rich, so they can shoot casually.

The army also had a great time shooting on the shore.

"Aim at the direction where the sound is coming from, and don't place it indiscriminately." Although the Qin army was well equipped, the generals still ordered it like this.They have always used the minimum consumption to kill the enemy to the maximum extent.Of course, if necessary, the Qin Army's huge inventory is enough to support the Qin Army's large-scale firepower to cover the enemy without any difference.

At this time, in the large tent of the Qin army's central army, all the generals followed Qin Feng and were always on standby.And Qin Feng stood at the tent door, looking at the dark river outside, there was a lot of whistling and shooting arrows, his heart moved, and he suddenly said: "That's not right!"

Could something bad happen!All the civil and military men couldn't figure it out, and asked in unison: "My lord, what's wrong?"
