Chapter 60 Sima Yi's ingenious plan to defeat the army of ten thousand
"No, just let Xing Daorong open the city gate and go in directly, leaving the 30,000 troops behind."
Sima Yi had already calculated that Chu Qi would not surrender easily, so he arranged this backup plan.
"Then you report to Emperor Yongning and say that he is planning a rebellion after you and Chu Qi joined forces!" Sima Yi added.
Chu Yang's eyes lit up. This was indeed a brilliant idea.
By then, even if Emperor Yongning didn't believe it, he would have no choice.
"Mr. is very wise!"
Chu Yang couldn't help but admire that with Sima Yi's help, he could be said to be sure of victory this time when he went south to Qiongzhou.
"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. I am only trying my best to help you."
Sima Yi smiled modestly, but was secretly proud in his heart.
The reason why he chose to help Chu Yang, in addition to Chu Yang's own ability, was more importantly because he saw Chu Yang's determination and courage to break everything.
Of course, he didn't know that he was arranged by the system!
One hundred percent loyal to Chu Yang!
"There is no time to lose. Your Highness should leave as soon as possible."
Sima Yi looked at the sky and reminded.
"Okay, then let's do as you say, sir."
Chu Yang nodded, then mounted his horse and headed straight for Nanling City with Pan Feng and Zhao Yun.
Nanling City.
As the gateway to Qiongzhou, the city has high walls and thick walls, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
At this time, on the city wall, Chu Qi was looking at the huge army below the city with a gloomy face, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
"Third Prince, will Chu Yang really come in person?"
A counselor at the side asked cautiously.
"He will definitely come."
Chu Qi gritted his teeth and said that he knew Chu Yang too well. He was a vindictive man. How could he let it go when his last attempt on him was exposed?
"But Chu Yang is the bravest among the three armies. Not only did he defeat the Xiongnu, he also showed his prowess in the South China Sea. Can we defeat him?"
The strategist looked embarrassed and obviously did not have much confidence in the upcoming battle.
"What are you afraid of? We have the advantage of location and Nanling City as our support. We may not lose to him!"
Chu Qi pretended to be calm, but there was a hint of panic in his tone.
at this time.
A soldier hurriedly ran to the top of the tower, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Your Highness, a group of people have come to the city and said they want to see you."
"Oh? Who?"
Chu Qi's heart moved. Could it be that Sun Fengtian sent troops to help?
"The leader claimed to be Sun Fengtian's general, Xing Daorong." The soldier replied.
"Xing Daorong?"
Chu Qi suddenly burst into laughter, "Why did Sun Fengtian want him to help?"
"What is he here for?"
Chu Qi was secretly guessing in his heart, not understanding the current situation.
But he knew that he had to trust no one now, even if it was a piece of trash!
"Should we let them into the city walls?"
Seeing that Chu Qi didn't say anything, the soldier asked cautiously.
Chu Qi hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "No! Just say that this prince is not feeling well and cannot see guests!"
He still doesn't know what these people are up to, so he naturally won't take risks easily.
What's more, he now has the advantage of geographical location and can completely rely on the city's defense to deal with Chu Yang.
After receiving the order, the soldier turned around and went down the city wall.
At the foot of the city wall, Xing Daorong waited for a long time, but Chu Qi did not show up, and he couldn't help feeling a little impatient.
"This Third Prince is too disrespectful. He actually dares to leave us alone!"
Xing Daorong cursed loudly, but when he heard Chu Yang's army approaching outside, he had to open the city gate as soon as possible.
Then he said to a personal soldier: "Go tell Mr. Sima that Chu Qi won't let me enter the city wall. I'm afraid I can't open the city gate. It seems that Your Highness still has to attack the city. At that time, I will rush to the city gate and open it."
"promise."
The soldier accepted the order and headed towards other city gates.
at this time.
Chu Yang had already brought his army to Nanling City. He looked at Chu Qi on the city wall and smiled.
"Third brother, long time no see. I have brought 30,000 troops to hand over the military power of Qiongzhou. Why don't you open the door?"
Hearing this, Chu Qi laughed out loud, as if he had heard some huge joke, his laughter was full of contempt and disdain.
He glanced at Chu Yang below the city and spoke in an almost mocking tone.
"Did I say I wanted your military power? It was Emperor Yongning who wanted your military power. I am not interested. Why should we brothers go to war?"
The smile on Chu Yang's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of coldness.
He rode his horse forward a few steps, facing Chu Qi on the city wall from a distance, his tone low and full of oppression.
"Third brother, you are speaking too lightly. Don't we have enough problems? I haven't even settled the score with you for the last time you sent someone to assassinate me!"
"Haha, Seventh Brother, what you said really hurts my heart. When did I ever send someone to assassinate you? Don't slander me!"
Chu Qi pretended to be innocent and denied it.
"How long are you going to pretend? All the assassins you sent out have confessed. Do you think you can hide what you did from me?"
Chu Yang snorted coldly and ruthlessly exposed his lies.
"you……"
Chu Qi was suddenly speechless, his face turned pale and blue, but he was unable to refute.
"Third brother, I came here this time with sincerity."
"As long as you open the city gates and accept my military power, Emperor Yongning will stop targeting me, and I can retire and enjoy my old age."
"As for our affair, I can forgive you for what happened, and I can even let you go. Otherwise..."
Chu Yang paused here deliberately, his eyes swept across the defenders on the city wall like a knife, and said in a grim tone.
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The defenders on the city wall were trembling with fear at Chu Yang's sharp gaze, and many of them even subconsciously took a few steps back, not daring to look him in the face.
Chu Qi couldn't help but feel a little flustered when he saw this, but he still tried to remain calm and sneered.
"Seventh brother, are you threatening me? Don't forget, this is my territory! If you dare to act rashly, I promise you will never be able to return!"
"My dear Third Brother, it's already this time, can't you see the situation clearly?"
Chu Yang seemed to have heard a funny joke and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "These 30,000 troops will be yours soon, do you really not want them?"
Chu Qi looked at the huge army outside the city and felt somewhat shaken.
His original intention of coming to Qiongzhou this time was just to take the opportunity to win over some forces and strengthen his own power so that he could compete with the other princes in the court in the future.
But he never expected that Chu Yang would personally lead his troops here, and bring so many people with him.
If he really went to war with Chu Yang, he might not gain any benefit.
What's more, he doesn't know what Sun Fengtian's attitude is in the city. If Sun Fengtian chooses to stand idly by, he will be really finished.
