At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

While tying the wrist guard, Xie Yuheng said, "Medicine is three parts poison."

"Your Highness, you should go find a military doctor to give your muscles a massage and relieve them."

Chu Chen shook his head decisively, "That won't work. It might take half an hour to massage the muscles and bones."

"If the enemy attacks later, I won't be able to help at all."

Xie Yuheng paused for a moment, looked up at him, then lowered his head to continue tying the straps.

Although she didn't say a word, Chu Chen somehow understood the look in her eyes - 'You can't help in the first place.'

Chu Chen: “…” Doesn’t he have any face?

At this moment, a general strode into the tent.

He clasped his fists and saluted Zhao Zheng, saying in a gruff voice, "General, the scouts report that the war drums of the Wusun camp have sounded!"

Zhao Zheng said "hmm" and continued, "If they attack, all actions today will be based on what we discussed last night and will cooperate with Marquis Jiangling's plan."

The general reluctantly said yes, then glanced at Xie Yuheng.

This young man’s face is as pale as a boiled chicken... I don’t know what kind of magic potion he gave to the general, alas!

Xie Yuheng calmly fastened the wrist guards on both arms, moved them around a little to test the tightness.

He said goodbye to Zhao Zheng and left the central military tent with the general who brought the news.

She returned to her tent, picked up a long wooden box, lifted the curtain and walked out, then walked along the camp road towards the west gate.

The red-robed marquis, with his long hair tied up high and his unconcealable youthful spirit, stood out in the military camp.

One after another, generals followed him and headed west.

But there were many people whispering to each other in the team.

"If you don't know, you might think he's some young master who came here to experience the customs of the frontier."

"That's right. Chi Yao is the daughter of an aristocratic family. She brought a lot of books with her when she got married."

"Besides, Liang and Wu have had close trade for many years. Who knows, they may have read Daliang's military books long ago!"

"It's a pity that the general agreed to use the empty city plan. Isn't this ridiculous?!"

Some people were not confident enough and asked, "What if the Marquis of Jiangling brings new weapons?"

"The three-bow crossbow and the Thousand Miles Sight were both invented by Marquis Jiangling."

"Besides, Your Majesty can't possibly send Marquis Jiangling to the frontline for no reason, right?"

He was immediately retorted, "Weapon making doesn't take time?"

"I arranged for those 9,000 people to stay yesterday, but I didn't see them bringing any weapons."

"I think he is the youngest champion in Daliang's history. He thinks he is so smart and everyone else is a fool."

Hearing the noise coming from behind getting louder and louder, Rong Shi and the others became very angry.

Especially one of the deputy generals, who turned a blind eye and acquiesced.

Rong Ba stepped forward quickly and asked Xie Yuheng, "Master, do you want to inform General Zhao about this?"

“Only children sue their parents.”

Xie Yuheng's lips curled up slightly, his voice was full of smiles, "Besides, military orders are as heavy as mountains, and those who disobey them will be executed!"

"Even if they don't want to, they have to listen to my arrangements."

She did not lower her voice on purpose, and the generals who were grumbling behind her heard it clearly, and they were all furious.

However, smoke was slowly rising from the beacon tower in the distance.

The rhythmic drum beats came from far away, rippling out.

On the nearby fire-watchtower, there were also soldiers holding flags and giving signals.

Everyone was horrified when they saw this, and didn't care to blame anyone. They all sped up and quickly headed towards the west gate.

When we reached the west city gate, we could faintly see dust and smoke billowing in the distance.

There was also a team of scouts in the wilderness, riding towards the city on horseback and firing flares.

The war drums in various places also changed their rhythm, and the drumbeats became more frequent and frequent.

Xie Yuheng stood in front of the city wall, with his hands behind his back, looking at the thick smoke in the distance.

She asked, "Are all the three-bow crossbows ready?"

Deputy General Liu, who led them into the camp yesterday, stood beside him and replied, "Don't worry, my lord. We will have pulled them up to the corridor on the city wall by three o'clock in the morning."

"In this case, we must proceed according to the plan. I will have to trouble Deputy General Liu to keep an eye on it for me. Don't let anything go wrong."

"It's natural!"

Thick smoke in the distance was gradually approaching. After the scout team safely entered the city, the city gate was not closed.

A quarter of an hour later, the Wusun coalition forces stopped two miles outside Yumen Pass.

Looking from the city wall of Yumen Pass, the place was pitch black, as if a dark cloud was looming and doomsday was approaching.

Xie Yuheng took the jade flute calmly and glanced at the archers from Daliang who were squatting behind the parapet.

He played the flute with his eyes closed, as if no one was around.

Rong Liu stuffed two cotton balls into his ears, carried a large copper speaker, and squatted in front of Xie Yuheng with a look of grief.

Two miles away, Deputy General Tu narrowed his eyes and looked at Yumen Pass.

Seeing that the city gate was not closed, he was instantly happy and went close to Anda.

"General, Liang State has not closed the city gates. How about I serve as the vanguard and lead our soldiers to charge into the city!"

"Something's not right, let's take another look." Anda frowned, his eyes fixed on a red spot on the city wall.

After a moment, he raised his hand to signal the army to be quiet, and the guards around him immediately conveyed his meaning.

After a long time, the sound of a flute was heard faintly.

Deputy General Tu had a bitter face and reached out to scratch his ear.

"Who's playing the flute over in Liang State? Damn, it's too bad!"

Cheng Ge, who had been observing quietly, finally figured out something.

He leaned forward and said to Anda, "General, this looks like an empty city plan."

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Tu clapped his hands and agreed, "Hey, you know what, it really looks like that!"

Only Abaste was confused. Empty city plan? What on earth is that?

However, it suits him just fine...

Abastai's lips corners hidden under his beard rose slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

That old guy Anda and Chengge sang the same tune, really thinking he was a fool.

Trying to consume his Scythian brothers? No way!

Nowadays, it is very good to eat, drink and use Wusun products...

He would go back and rob some women from Liang to give birth to babies. Then, it would be just a matter of time before Scythia dominated the grassland!

As for Anda, he frowned and muttered, "Empty city plan? This is not a good plan."

Deputy General Tu scratched his head, "There can't be an ambush? I haven't seen any reports from the scouts. Could there be reinforcements entering the city at night?"

Cheng Ge continued, "The only thing Liang State can offer is a bed slave."

"As for the bed crossbow, winding it takes time and effort."

"I really can't figure out why Liang State resorted to the Empty City Strategy when there were no reinforcements."

Deputy General Tu pinched the louse he caught with his fingertips to death, and then scratched his head hard.

Then he said, "They are just playing tricks on us. If we don't dare to fight, won't their plan succeed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the flute sound from the other side stopped.

Abastai rubbed his ears and said, "Finally it stopped. It hurt my ears."

Anda thought for a long time and ordered: "Tu Rigen, you lead the vanguard and go find out what's going on."

"Got it!"

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Tu raised his hand and gestured, leading 3,000 cavalrymen to charge out of the army.
