Chapter 55 Cheating on

Near noon, Xu Tong looked up at the increasingly hot sun, opened the water bag and poured a few mouthfuls of water. Then he wiped his mouth and said to Zhao Yun beside him, "How far is it from Suiping City?"

This Zhao Yun is the official of the State of Zhao who was responsible for leading He Ran in the last rescue of Mrs. Nuanyu,

"It's less than 25 miles. You can see it by bypassing the forest in front of you. If the general feels too hot, let the sergeant rest in the forest in front of him and wait until the day is to the west." Zhao Yun answered carefully. In the past two days of contact, he has deeply realized that the general of Yi Guo is far less easy-going than the military division He Ran.

Xu Tong took a look at the soldier with his head down behind him, frowned, and said, "Uh-huh" and sent the order, "Go to the front forest to bury the pot to make rice."

During dinner, Xu Tong called Zhao Yun and asked, "Lord Zhao, who is the guard of Suiping City?"

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "It's Lord Shan Tingshan."

"Oh, it's him."

"The general met him."

Xu Tong said, "It's an acquaintance. In the past, I drank wine at the Tianhe Gong's birthday banquet, and I quarreled a few times because of persuasion."

"Lord Shan doesn't like to drink. Naturally, the general looks unhappy. That must be the reason."

Xu Tong smiled and said, "My lord guessed it right. I was expelled by the previous king for this quarrel. It's nothing to lose my face. Unfortunately, it's rare to drink such a good wine, but I only drank half a drink."

Zhao Yun laughed and said, "Everything is precious when you can't compete. The general is now a great minister. The wine he often drinks is not worse than the wine at that at that birthday party, but I'm afraid he will still feel that the most beautiful wine, otherwise he won't be Genggeng until now."

Xu Tong said with a smile, "What you said is very true."

"In fact, Lord Shan is also very affectionate, that is... Ha ha, it's just that he doesn't feel very happy when drinking." Zhao Yun said good words for the mountain at the right time,

"At that time, I didn't do anything at that time, and I was dizzy. No wonder Lord Shan was quarreling. Now I think I should accompany him. I have to respect him a few bottles of atonement when I meet him."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "The general is broad-minded. It is naturally good not to remember the old grievances, but after all, it is an old story. Lord Shan may have forgotten it for a long time. I think this wine of atonement will be avoided. The general of the province will be angry when he drinks."

Xu Tong Zhan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be reckless in the past, let alone cause trouble for no reason. When you get to the city, you just remember to invite Lord Shan out of the city. Even if you don't apologize, you should meet him when you arrive in the place of your old friend. Go and rest and a half hours later."

Zhao Yun promised to leave,

The day is slightly to the west, and the Yi army, who has been resting, is full of spirit, and goes to the city of Suiping.

When it was only five miles away from the city, Xu Tongce immediately looked around for a while. Suddenly, he stretched out his finger and frowned at Zhao Yun in the distance and said, "Your Excellency, look at the dense forest. How can I notice that there is a faint knife light?"

Zhao Yun looked at it for a while and said, "I don't see it."

Xu Tong looked at him suspiciously and looked at the dense forest,

Zhao Yun said solemnly, "General, please don't doubt it. I, Wang Rende, will never do ghostly things. What the general sees is the light of the knife or just the light of the woodcutter's hand."

Xu Tong nodded slowly, his eyes slowly moved from the dense forest to the head of the city, and said uneasily, "Why are there so few defenders in the city? As far as I know, Suiping is not only such a few defenders." With that, he turned to the dense forest again. It was self-evident that he suspected that some of the defenders had been transferred to ambush in the dense forest.

Zhao Yun was secretly funny. He said to himself, "You are far worse than your military division. He's military division led thousands of miles across the border to talk and laugh calmly as if there had been no suspicion. You are a random suspicion. Although you think so in your heart, you dare not say it directly. He smiled and said, "The general is over-hearted. My king has a life, and the city along the way is big. When the general passes by, he can't wait for the whole army. On the one hand, he is afraid of misunderstanding, and on the other hand, he shows his sincerity. If the general is not at ease, he will inform Lord Shan and ask him to order all the defenders to be listed at the top of the city.

Xu Tong hesitated for a moment and said, "No, I'm relieved that my lord said so. It's not that I'm suspicious, but that the marching military commander told me to be cautious all the way. It seems that I'm too worried and made the adult laugh."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "The army should be cautious. What the general did is reasonable. The subordinate will go to invite Lord Shan to come out and talk about the general."

Xu Tong nodded and said, "Okay, please urge the food and fodder in the city to be sent out as soon as possible. If you collect the food and fodder, you have to hurry up while it's cool. You can't delay here for too long."

Zhao Yun promised to lead his entourage to Suiping City,

Xu Tong showed a smile at the corners of his mouth. He went down the mound and summoned several generals to his side for a while, and then led the army to slowly march towards Suiping City.

When he came to Suiping City, Shan Ting had already greeted him. This man was more than 40 years old, and his appearance was powerful. When he saw Xu Tong, he got off his horse and said, "Suiping City guards the mountain to pay a visit to the general."

Xu Tong got off the horse and said with a smile, "For more than ten years, you still remember the birthday wine competition on that day."

Shan Ting smiled and said, "Naturally, I remember that you and I had the same official positions that day. The general has been walking calmly recently. It's not like me, a stupid and loyal person, and it's unbearable."

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard the words. He heard that Shan Ting was a mockery of Xu Tong who became a high-ranking official because he betrayed the State of Zhao. He quickly interrupted and said, "It's time to drink two bottles. The general's expedition to save the emperor is an example of the ministers of the world. Come on, Lord Shan, you and I respect the general's bottle." With that, he gave him a look,

Shan Ting no longer said more about taking the wine bottle handed over by the attendant, holding it in his hand and looking at Xu Tong with a smile,

Xu Tong didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Shan Ting's words. He took a bottle of wine and smiled, "Lord Zhao is overreputed. Come on, let's drink this bottle."

After drinking the wine, Xu Tong looked at the wisps of grain and grass transported from the city gate and frowned, "How long will this be delayed? Just send it outside the city earlier."

Zhao Yun didn't wait for Shan Ting to open his mouth and said, "The bandits have been rampant for years, and Lord Shan is also in order to prevent mistakes." With that, he turned to Shanting and said, "Please urge them to hurry up again. The general is worried about the safety of the emperor and rushing on his way. Please forgive me."

Shan Ting originally wanted to say a few words, but it can be seen that Zhao Yun kept winked at himself and had to resist, and reluctantly ordered to speed up the delivery,

The general beside Xu Tong said, "Seiving some people to help, you don't have to check the number of points. Receive it as soon as possible. Just eat enough to the next supply city."

Shan Ting frowned. If he wanted to stop him, he could see Xu Tong's impatient look on his face. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Yun with a little hesitation. Seeing Zhao Yun secretly waving his hand and shaking his head, he had to give up.

More than a thousand Yi Juns ran forward to pick up food and grass. Seeing that some of them were close to the gate, Shan Ting was alert. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly saw a fast horse galloping over. When someone came to Xu Tong, he rolled down the saddle and said something in a low voice. He saw that Xu Tong's face immediately changed,

Zhao Yun saw that he gritted his teeth and stared at himself. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Why does the general look at the subordinate like this?"

Xu Tong suddenly withdrew his sword in his hand and shouted, "Zhao people bullied me and seized the city."

Zhao Yun was so scared that he lost his soul and said in a hurry, "I can't do it. If there is anything, I hope the general can make it clear. Why don't we cheat?"

Xu Tongxu said, "You also asked me that you had to report that Xiping had withdrawn from the siege of the imperial capital a few days ago, but you lied that the imperial capital was being attacked day and night. What's the reason? It's just that the wolf's ambition to lure my army into ambush, yes or not."

"There is no such thing. General, please don't mistrust rumors. Please stop the army quickly so that it won't be out of control." Zhao Yun was so anxious that he was about to cry. He really didn't know the inside story. In this regard, Zhao Yu even cheated him,

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shan Ting immediately wanted to escape back to the city, but as soon as he got on the horse, he was pulled down by Yi Jun, and all the attendant officials were also captured. At this moment, Zhao Yun was still begging and said harshly, "Your Excellency, you are so confused. Don't you understand? They just took the city, and all expeditions are playful."

Xu Tong sneered and said, "You are not kind and I am not righteous. Who is evil? You'd better ask King Zhao first. You can't know about the withdrawal of the siege in Xiping. It's fair and comfortable in the hearts of the people. Sooner or later you will know." With that, he turned to Zhao Yun and said, "Lord Zhao, you don't know this, do you?"

Zhao Yun said with a crying voice, "This must be a rumor. The general can't believe it. Please collect the soldiers and horses immediately. When the reason is figured out, I will definitely give the general an explanation. Don't be tricked by the two countries."

Xu Tong snorted coldly, "The news is exactly what we have heard. It is your king who wants to do tricks. Isn't this the reason yet clear? What ability do you have to give me an explanation? Can you take the responsibility?"

Shan Ting, who was tied up into a ball, said with angry eyes, "Blood spitting people, you unrighteous thieves who betray the master can't die."

Xu Tong glanced at him and said, "Ignorant pawn, I'm too lazy to talk to you. I won't take your life. I'll let you go in a while. Let you and Lord Zhao go to ask your king for a look and find out the truth. If you have a little blood, you can kill yourself. I'm ashamed of you if there is such a king." After saying that, he ignored their pleas and scolding, and focused on directing the siege,

Although Suiping is a strong city, he was taken down in less than half an hour when he was caught off guard. Xu Tongzhi was not killing, but in order to block the news and seize the city, he closed the four doors and released his words. Tomorrow afternoon, he will open the city and release it. At that time, he is willing to leave and listen to your convenience. At the same time, let the soldiers shout along the street: "Return to the country and enjoy the new policy. "."

So it is more than 100 miles away from the State of Yi. The people have long admired the new policy of the State of Yi. Sometimes there are people who have fled into the State of Yi. Now that the Yi army has really fought, it is inevitable to panic. It can be seen that the Yi army gradually settled down in the autumn after the Yi army entered the city. Most of the people in a city decided to stay, and those who are usually bullied by the people. He even cried with tears, offered food and wine to reward the sergeant,

Xu Tong did not enter the city, leaving only 3,000 people to defend the city. The rest of the people were divided into two parts. According to the advance, the nearby cities were divided, and the soldiers were fast. The key to this battle is here.
