Sui and Tang Dynasty Generals

Chapter 88 Go get some confidence!
late at night.

Torches were lit on the top of the city walls, and patrolling soldiers holding torches walked back and forth in the city.

Inside the city, in the pitch-black night, Fu Zihou, holding a sword and a torch, came to an open space in the city.

More than 200 rebel surrendered soldiers had already put on their armor and checked their weapons. When they saw Fu Zihou approaching alone, they all stood up.

As former rebel soldiers, these people naturally knew how dangerous it was to leave the city at night. But when they saw Fu Zihou arriving in person, all their concerns and worries disappeared.

Fu Zihou kept his promise and trusted them, so they were naturally willing to follow Fu Zihou out of the city at night.

"Let's go!"

Fu Zihou came in front of everyone and spoke directly without any unnecessary words. However, when he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Yue Ming's voice.

"General! Are you really not afraid that we will betray you..."

Yue Ming looked at Fu Zihou and asked.

Yue Ming's breathing was disordered at this moment. It was the first time he saw such a bold person.

If Yue Ming had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that there would be a Sui general who would believe in the rebels.

"Zihou once said, if the world can be peaceful, who would want to bear the infamy! It's rare to meet someone in this life, and Zihou's meeting you is fate! If you soldiers want to leave, Zihou will definitely send you money. Now, if we don't break through the East City, the head of Zihou's lieutenant is only worth that much money!"

When Fu Zihou said this, his cheek illuminated by the torch showed a smile to everyone.

"What's more! In Zihou's eyes, you are all real men! In life, if you are like-minded and sincere friends, you will die without regrets!"

Fu Zihou looked at everyone, turned around and walked forward.

After hearing Fu Zihou's words, Yue Ming, Xue Hong, Xing Ming and more than two hundred rebel surrendered soldiers, at this moment, looking at the figure of the young man holding the torch, were all touched in their hearts.

Then, one by one, they followed Fu Zihou, holding weapons.

A scholar dies for a confidant!

If they died because of leaving the city tonight, they would not feel so regretful.

in the night.

Fu Zihou walked all the way to the city gate with a torch. He did not rush the soldiers inside to open the gate, but closed his eyes without saying a word.

In the dark night, perhaps without light, everyone in the world will be afraid.

But Fu Zihou was an exception.

Even compared to the daytime and the light, it is in this deep night that Fu Zihou is most different from everyone else in the world.

The surrendered soldiers behind him were all carefully selected elites from the rebel army outside the city. Fu Zihou had been taught by a teacher and not only knew how to select the vanguard, but also knew how to treat a soldier.

According to the teacher, what these soldiers behind him lack compared to the elite selected from the normal army is not their ability and strength, but their honor.

This is a very mysterious thing!

But for an elite soldier, it is deadly enough.

When Yang Xuangan's clan started the rebellion in the past, why did the originally brave and warlike soldiers, who should have been the backbone of Yang Xuangan and his brothers, fail to show their former effectiveness at all?

The reason is the change in identity, which makes the soldiers start to feel different in their hearts.

It is precisely because of this invisible feeling that at the critical moment, it affects the mentality of each soldier and even affects the morale of other soldiers.

Yang Xuangan and his brothers, who had never had any experience in rebellion, did not expect such a thing to happen. By the time they discovered it, there was no time or opportunity to resolve it.

At the moment, they are the same elite soldiers of Yang Xuangan mentioned by their former teacher.

The rebels and surrendered soldiers behind Fu Zihou did not even realize that in their own hearts, they had always regarded themselves as thieves from the beginning to the end.

This is also the reason why when they were faced with desperate situations and learned that they could surrender, they dropped their weapons without hesitation.

With the instruction from his teacher and his natural talent, Fu Zihou was able to tell the difference between these people at a glance on the battlefield.

I understand even more clearly that the position I represent now can give them the confidence they need most in their hearts!

If you persuade the soldiers defending the city to surrender during the battle, it would be a favor given by Fu Zihou.

Then, by entering East City and ordering no one to bully or insult them, Fu Zihou was giving these people dignity.

And now, as they were leaving the city late at night, there was also something that Fu Zihou wanted to give them.

These people were the elite selected from the rebel army, and Fu Zihou was better at selecting the vanguard and elite than the rebel generals. He knew the character and personality of the selected people better, so Fu Zihou was not worried that these people would betray him.

"Open the door!"

Fu Zihou opened his eyes, gave orders, and handed the torch to a soldier.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate heard Fu Zihou's words, they worked together to open the gate in the dark.

"General, I am good at night battles! I will take a few men with me to kill those scouts outside the city!"

Yue Ming said to Fu Zihou.

As a person from the northern border, Yue Ming is not only good at riding horses, but he has also been accustomed to darkness since childhood and knows the habits of scouts.

"it is good!"

In the darkness, Fu Zihou watched Yue Ming and a few others walk out of the city from the dark city gate.

Looking outside the dark city gate, Fu Zihou stood in place. As he went to the battlefield more and more times, and as that bad premonition appeared more frequently on the battlefield, Fu Zihou's life was saved many times.

At present, Fu Zihou has begun to try to use this innate ability.

Fu Zihou was not like the famous generals like Bai Qi and Li Mu in the Warring States Period, who were well versed in military tactics and formations and could predict the enemy's moves and win every battle.

He is not like Xiang Yu, the King of Chu in ancient times, who was invincible on the battlefield. He did not go down in history as an emperor, but his name as a king shocked the world throughout history.

Now, facing this chaotic world, facing the brave and warlike heroes of later generations, and facing the rebel army of more than 100,000 outside the city, the perception of danger is one of the few things Fu Zihou relies on. It is also the reason why Fu Zihou dared to lead the rebel surrendered soldiers out of the city in the middle of the night!
………………

Late at night.

In the camp of the rebel army, as they set up camp, there were rows of rebel soldiers patrolling everywhere. However, every time the soldiers patrolled to the tents of some captains or colonels, their steps would be slower.

It was not that he was afraid of disturbing the captains and lieutenants inside, but he wanted to hear the blushing screams of a woman coming from inside.

As rebel soldiers, there is no one who does not envy those captains and colonels.

Even though in the past when they plundered cities and villages, if these soldiers were lucky, they might be able to snatch women and enjoy them, but in fact, if they really met beautiful women, smart men would not do anything rash.

On the one hand, no one knows whether a beautiful woman will be favored by the captains, lieutenants, or even generals above, and if you mess around with her, you might end up in danger of death.

On the other hand, offering a beautiful woman to someone else often brings rewards that are a hundred or a thousand times better than sleeping with a woman.

As long as they robbed villages and cities along the way, they could capture girls and women, but the chances of getting promoted were very few. If they could be promoted, they would have no worries about not having women in the future.

"General! The general invites you!"

Outside a tent, a strong soldier spoke to the tent.

Hearing the enchanting panting sounds coming from inside, the soldier, as Xiang Yifeng's confidant, couldn't help but move his Adam's apple and felt hot all over.

After a few breaths.

As the room became quiet, Xiang Yifeng soon came out.

"General, why are you looking for me so late at night?"

Xiang Yifeng asked angrily why the general called him over in the middle of the night.

"My subordinates don't know!"

The confidant lowered his head and said.

Seeing this, Xiang Yifeng glanced at his confidant, and then walked towards the tent of General Zhen Zhai'er.

After a while.

In the tent of the rebel army's commander-in-chief, Xiang Yifeng walked into the tent after getting permission.

"General!"

Xiang Yifeng raised his hand and saluted Zhen Zhaier.

"General Xiang!"

When Zhen Zhai'er saw Xiang Yifeng, she raised her hand to return the greeting and then motioned Xiang Yifeng to come over.

"Now both East City and West City are under siege. Compared with East City, West City is the most important! There are not only many prominent families in West City, but also the population and property in the city, as well as the food and clothing in Cang City. These are the foundations for whether we can go south to capture Luoyang and Chang'an in the future."

Zhen Zhai'er looked at the map under the candlelight and spoke, then looked at Xiang Yifeng.

"The terrain of West City is difficult to besiege. We can only destroy the morale of the people in the city and conquer them by wits!"

Zhen Zhai'er said.

Xiang Yifeng looked at the map and listened to Zhen Zhai'er's words. He understood these principles, but he didn't understand why Zhen Zhai'er called him over in the middle of the night to say these things.

"Did the general give any instructions?"

Xiang Yifeng raised his hand and asked.

Zhen Zhaier nodded.

"Jinyang West City is already trying to find out the news. Although I have sent people to guard against it, as time goes by, I am afraid that sooner or later West City will know what happened in East City in the past few days! This will definitely make West City excited..."

When Zhen Zhai'er said this, her expression became somewhat gloomy.

At the beginning, as long as we capture the East City of Jinyang and form a constraint on the West City, we can then send envoys and use other means to slowly undermine the morale of the people in the West City.

But the scene that Zhen Zhaier least wanted to see happened.

Jinyang East City not only defended the city to the death, but also won the first battle and captured many soldiers and horses.

Faced with the Sui army's high morale in the East City and the excitement of the people in the city, Zhen Zhai'er didn't care. He only needed to use the catapult to scare them, which was enough to make everyone in the city panic.

But what Zhen Zhai'er was most worried about was that the news would spread to West City, boosting the morale of the people there.

Jinyang West City has the advantage of geographical location, and there is a need for storage in the city. If the people in West City cannot be convinced, Zhen Zhai'er is not sure that she can capture West City for the Duke of Wei.

"My army must win a great victory!"

After Zhen Zhai'er finished speaking, she looked at Xiang Yifeng.

Inside the tent.

When Xiang Yifeng heard Zhen Zhai'er's words, he was shocked and immediately looked at Zhen Zhai'er, wanting to know Zhen Zhai'er's plan.

"I want to give the Sui general in the city a chance and lure him out of the city! At that time, General Xiang will need to work hard and lead the troops in person to surround and kill the Sui army outside the city!"

Zhen Zhai'er then told Xiang Yifeng about her plan.

According to Zhen Zhai'er's judgment, the commander of East City was a man of good strategies. He had just won a victory, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city was high. The commander would certainly not leave the city easily.

If we use catapults to intimidate the morale of people in the East City of Jinyang today, the commander of the East City will certainly be on guard and will not leave the city at night.

But this is not what Zhen Zhaier wants to see, so Zhen Zhaier plans to give the city guards a chance in the coming days. As long as the temptation is big enough, they will have to leave the city...

　Note: The fusion of souls from two lives, which is different from the doubling of souls of ordinary people, makes Fu Zihou's sixth sense exceptionally sharp.
