Chapter 21: The gamble is that you don't know

"Hurry! Don't make a sound!"

"Each person has two torches, and ignite them when they arrive. Don't ignite them in advance."

"Go out of another door and quietly, don't be discovered!"

...

In Chang'an City, teams of figures were moving in and out between several city gates, but they held the torch in high profile when they came in, and when they went out, they put out the torch quietly as quiet as a ghost.

The militia captain Zhang Long and Tang Han's personal captain Zhang Long, as well as the villager Zhao Fang, who was temporarily appointed as the temporary manager by Tang Han, each led a team, constantly repeating the game of going in and out.

Tang Han stood on the top floor of the high lord castle and watched all this. After a while, he turned his eyes to the direction of the Black Water Tribe, which looked dark there.

But Tang Han could feel a pair of eyes looking here in the darkness.

When you don’t have enough strength, you can only use some tricks to fool people.

In addition to a few necessary sentries, Tang Han divided everyone in Chang'an City into three teams, asking them to leave the city quietly, walk to a suitable distance, then set off a torch, and then pretend to enter the city with great fanfare.

After entering the city, he secretly left the city again, and then changed direction torches into the city.

It's a very simple trick. If you really meet someone with experience, you will definitely find the flaws.

But Tang Han was betting that these primitive people from the Black Water Tribe did not have that high IQ and insight.

After all, they have never read "Thirty-Six Strategies", so they must not know what it means to be a deceitful soldier and to be "a warrior, a devil."

This trick of going out openly and secretly ended until the end in the middle of the night. The last time was not to leave the city quietly, but to form a team of three teams, taking hundreds of torches to the north with great fanfare, and traveling north for about ten miles before extinguishing the torches and quietly turning back to Chang'an City.

After struggling for the middle of the night, everyone felt very tired. Tang Han encouraged everyone and announced that they would have a lot of food tomorrow.

After everyone fell asleep, Tang Han walked up to the top of the castle alone and looked at the direction of the Hei Shui Tribe Camp. "I guess their old chief is stunned at this moment!"

...

Tang Han guessed correctly. The old chief of the Black Water Tribe was indeed staring at the direction of Chang'an City in the darkness, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

If he had doubts about the terrible person Abu and Anu had previously told, he was now shocked.

Judging from the number of torches entering the city several times tonight, the man had at least a thousand soldiers. The warriors of thousands of soldiers were ten times more than their Black Water Tribe.

All of their tribes are only more than 500 people, except for more than 100 soldiers, the rest are the elderly, weak, women and children.

Moreover, among the more than 100 warriors, more than 30 people are now captured in their hands, which means that only fifty or sixty people are left in the Black Water Tribe.

But even after Abu and his friends came back to talk about being captured, they basically lost the courage to fight.

If someone really wants to attack, the Blackwater Tribe will simply have no power to fight back.

"Chief, it seems that their soldiers finally went north?" Abu behind him couldn't help but interrupt when he saw the old chief not speaking.

The old chief came to his senses, looked at the direction of Chang'an City, and said with a complicated expression: "Maybe he has gone to attack other tribes."

"Chief, then we cannot be their enemies. Otherwise, tomorrow may be the day of the destruction of our Black Water Tribe." Abu exclaimed in a low voice.

"Yes, chief, they are too powerful, we are no match for it at all. If we are willing to surrender, I believe they will protect us." Anu also hurriedly said.

The old chief sighed, knowing that Abu and his two thoughts were actually the thoughts of most tribe members.

Their Blackwater Tribe has no other choice.

"Don't worry, I know what to do. Go back to sleep and welcome our great witch god messenger with me tomorrow." The chief looked at the two young men and said solemnly.

…………

Tang Han rubbed his eyes and looked at the light coming out of the window, knowing that it was already dawn outside.

He had already developed a regular schedule in the military academy for several years. After he arrived in this world, this routine habit was still maintained.

Even if you sleep very late sometimes, you will automatically wake up at the same time the next day.

It is difficult to change the biological clock when it is developed.

He quickly turned over and sat up from the bed and started wearing clothes.

It was very troublesome to wear clothes from ancient people. At the beginning, Tang Han was a little busy every time. But later he got used to it and thought it was okay.

Put on my clothes and didn't wear armor, I walked out of the bedroom and came to the bathroom outside.

Qiuxiang, the maid who was in charge of serving him, had already prepared a wash water.

After washing his face, Tang Han chewed the tender branches peeled with the autumn fragrance for a while. Looking at the spitting branches, Tang Han really missed the days when he used a toothbrush.

In the future, you must get the toothbrush out when you have the conditions.

After washing up, Qiuxiang combed Tang Han's hair and tied his crown.

After dressing neatly, breakfast was already delivered to the kitchen. The so-called breakfast was actually very simple, a bowl of broth, a few fruits and a piece of cooked meat.

The wheat fields have just been cultivated and the seeds have not yet been sown. If you want to eat steamed buns, fried dough sticks, tofu brains, you don’t know when to wait.

Anyone who has been in the army knows that eating in the army is like fighting. If you go late and move slowly, you may not be able to eat.

Although this habit is not good for health and no one has ever snatched it from him now, Tang Han still maintains this habit of eating quickly and finishes breakfast every little while.

Qiuxiang took the plate down to clean up. When Tang Han walked out of the lord castle and was about to inspect the territory, the captain of the guard Zhao Hu came to report: "Your Majesty, the people from the Hei Shui Tribe are asking for a visit outside. Because they are not able to speak, we don't know what they want to do."

When Tang Han heard this, he knew that last night's trick had come into effect and said to Zhao Hu: "Let's go and meet them with me."

Although the largest city gate in Chang'an City is just a wooden door that is a little wider than other city gates, Tang Han named it Qinglong Gate.

The other three city gates are named White Tiger Gate, Vermilion Bird Gate and Xuanwu Gate respectively.

When he walked to Qinglong Gate, Tang Han heard the language that the Hei Shui Tribe heard from outside that sounded like a bird's cry:

"We want to meet the messenger of the Witch God, Altai, the chief of the Black Water Tribe, to pay homage!"
