Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

After the sun rises from the east.

The 3,000 cavalrymen led by several deputy generals under Zuo Yun had already reached the back of the city wall and took control of the huge city gate.

Outside the city, there were two thousand cavalrymen led by Zuo Yun blocking the way. Gu Chan was caught in an unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides, which directly meant that she completely lost the second offensive and defensive battle.

"Damn it! You're still playing the pig and eating the tiger game for me. It really piss me off."

Looking at Zuo Yun with a smirk on his face below, Gu Chan cursed inwardly in anger while standing on the top of the city wall.

In the past, she used this trick to deal with others, but now, others are using it against her. How can she not be angry?

But even though she was angry, she still admired Zuo Yun in her heart.

From midnight last night till now, Zuo Yun has been acting, making everyone happy and attracting everyone's attention. This also directly proves one thing, that is, the eldest son of the Zuo family is by no means as careless as he appears to be on the surface. In fact, he is very smart and is very good at taking advantage of others' underestimation of the enemy.

Zuo Yun looked up at Gu Chan and said, "My Lord, do you think I won the second battle?"

"You win, we're tied at 1:1, you can take your people back! Tell your father that in the last match tomorrow, if he can still beat me, I will hand over the lord's dragon seal myself and give him the Jiangnan area." Gu Chan stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

"Okay! Then, my lord, I'll take my leave." Zuo Yun said, clasping his fists and bowing.

After saying this, he laughed heartily, rode away on his warhorse, leading his generals in a swagger.

From beginning to end, he never showed any hostility towards Gu Chan, and it was only at this time that Gu Chan and others began to get to know him again.

Only after Zuo Yun and others left did Gu Chan come down from the top of the city wall.

Xu Ziguang walked forward in a panic and said, "My Lord, I'm sorry. I failed to live up to your expectations of me."

"It's okay. It's normal that you can't beat such an opponent. Besides, he not only fooled you last night, but also deceived everyone in Jiangnan City. Even I couldn't see through his trick in time, so I won't blame you." Gu Chan said indifferently.

"My lord, I really can't understand it. There are more than 3,000 soldiers and horses! How did they avoid the officials in the city with such tight defenses and enter the city quietly?" Xu Ziguang said puzzledly.

Last night, Zuo Yun led more than 2,000 cavalrymen to attract their attention outside the city. The deputy generals naturally led more than 3,000 cavalrymen, avoided the tight defense in the city, and sneaked into the city quietly.

But the question is, how did so many people do this? What's more, the officers patrolling the city last night didn't find any trace of cavalry sneaking into the city.

This is really puzzling.

Gu Chan sighed and said, "Those deputy generals and more than 3,000 soldiers all had wet clothes. Isn't that obvious? They sneaked in at night along the waterway. Our people's defense in the Jiangnan camp was relatively weak, and we didn't expect them to dare to sneak in under the nose of General Nanxing Kuang, so this situation has been caused."

"So that's how it is! They are really amazing. It was so cold last night, but they were able to sneak over from the Jiangnan River at night. I am really impressed." Xu Ziguang said with relief.

"This is because different people lead different results. If Zuo Yun had led the first offensive and defensive battle yesterday, they wouldn't have been defeated so badly." Gu Chan said with emotion.

It is said that women are not suitable for fighting. As a woman herself, she understands this very well. The most important thing is that in the battle of Zhongyuan City, she mistakenly appointed Xue Lihua as the commander, which caused huge casualties.

So to this day, whenever she has to go to the battlefield, she will not let any of her women lead the troops.

Zuo Wangfeng obviously did not suffer any loss in this matter, otherwise he would not have let Shuiyue lead the troops to fight in the first offensive and defensive battle yesterday.

Xu Ziguang nodded silently, and said solemnly, "Your Excellency is right. General Zuo's son may seem lazy on the surface, but he is actually very capable. It seems that if the father and son join forces in the final offensive and defensive battle tomorrow, it will be a tough nut for us."

"Okay, don't think so much. Next, you take everyone to clean up, and then continue to guard the city. You don't need to take action to deal with Zuo Wangfeng tomorrow. I will do it myself." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

Xu Ziguang agreed quickly and followed her instructions, leading the soldiers to clean up the arrows outside the city.

Gu Chan took Yuan Jie back to the lord's mansion and began to make secret preparations for the final offensive and defensive battle with Zuo Wangfeng tomorrow.

At noon.

Zuo Yun finally led 5,000 cavalrymen and returned safely to the Dujiang Town camp.

Not long after he entered the camp, Shuiyue came up to him with a pale face, limping, and said, "Thank you for helping me last night. I owe you a favor. If you need any help in the future, just let me know as long as I can do it."

"Hey boy, you've got a pretty good body! You got hit with dozens of sticks last night, but you can walk today. Turn around so I can see if your butt is still bleeding?" Zuo Yun teased with a wicked smile.

Shuiyue's pretty face immediately turned red, she glared at him and cursed, "You are so frivolous and shameless, I shouldn't have come to you."

"Oh my! Woman, you change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book! I'm just concerned about you, right?" Zuo Yun said unhappily.

Shuiyue rolled her eyes at him, turned around angrily and limped away.

"Hahaha……"

Zuo Yun looked at her weak back and laughed happily.

Shuiyue had a stiff face. Although she looked very angry on the surface, she felt warm in her heart. As for why she had such a feeling, at this moment, she herself couldn't explain it.

After half a stick of incense.

Zuo Yun led several deputy generals into the big tent.

Seeing that they had returned safely and victoriously, Zuo Wangfeng happily ordered his soldiers to roast a whole lamb and bring in a jar of fragrant rice wine as a reward.

Zuo Yun squatted beside the fire, cutting the roasted lamb with a knife and putting it into his mouth. Without turning his head, he said to his father, "Dad, why don't you go to the Lord's Mansion tonight and have a good chat with Gu Chan! I don't think you have to fight him in the final offensive and defensive battle tomorrow."

"What do you mean?" Zuo Wangfeng asked puzzled.

"My meaning is very simple. I'm afraid you really won't be able to beat him tomorrow." Zuo Yunyun said calmly.

As soon as he said this, the air in the tent froze instantly. Several lieutenants sat there in a daze, all of them frightened and speechless.

Zuo Wangfeng sat in the first seat, his face gloomy to the extreme.
