On the bank of the Panshing River.

Li Chi, Tang Piddi and others were sitting there grilling steamed buns, and the army crossed the river on their side. The few people seemed to be unworried and did not take the Chu army seriously at all.

Tang Pidi was confident and decided that Prince Wu would not dare to attack, and even if he came to attack, he was not afraid, and he was prepared.

"Report!"

A scout flew over and dismounted from his horse when he came close, clasped his fists and said to Li Chi, "Lord, I found that the Chu cavalry was approaching."

Li Chi raised his hand and pointed at Tang Pidian, meaning to tell him.

Tang Pidian smiled and said, "I understand, come on, come and eat two steamed buns, and the enemy will just keep an eye on it."

Li Chi handed the two baked buns in his hand to the scout: "Be careful, it's still hot."

The scout laughed as if he had received these two baked steamed buns, he was rewarded with great rewards.

"The Chu cavalry is really here, how can we deal with it?"

Cheng Wujie asked.

Tang Pidian shook his head: "Ignore him."

After saying that, he looked at Li Chi: "I haven't eaten yet."

Li Chi glanced at him, but picked up two buns of steamed buns and continued to grill them, and then asked: "Do you pick up the meat?"

Tang Pidian: "Jian."

Li Chi: "No."

Tang Pidian: "You have no jokes."

Li Chi: "I asked you if you want to clip it. If you say you want to clip it, I will say no. It's the same if you say you don't clip it. Why bother?"

Tang Piddi said: "You ask again."

Li Chi: "Do you want to pick up meat?"

Tang Pidian: "Give me the steamed buns and I will pick them up by myself."

Li Chi handed the steamed bun to Tang Pidi. Tang Pidi opened the bag next to him and took out a greasy paper bag from it. There was really meat inside.

The braised pork looks delicious, regardless of its color or aroma, which greatly increases appetite.

Li Chi was stunned for a moment, turned his head and flipped through his bags, and the braised pork he had hidden was gone.

"When did you steal?"

"When you went to the river to wash your hands."

"How do you know I have meat in my bag?"

"Because you don't leave your bag."

Tang Pidian said: "The things that can keep you from leaving are either money or meat."

Li Chi looked at Yu Jiuling: "There is another person in the traitor."

Yu Jiuling said: "That's right, how can you steal the lord's meat? It's not good, it's not good."

Tang Piddi sighed and said to Li Chi: "I lied to you just now, it was me that was wrong. Yu Jiuling told me that he wanted to protect him, but he didn't expect that he would actually say to me."

Li Chi looked at Yu Jiuling, and Yu Jiuling smiled embarrassedly: "Are you surprised by the leader? It turns out that I have always been the only one of the traitors."

Li Chi glanced at him: "Snatch the meat back, I'll forgive you for not guilty."

Yu Jiuling looked at Tang Pidian and sighed: "You should cure me if you are the leader. If you rob a meat from the general's mouth, wouldn't that be equivalent to pulling ivory from the mouth..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chi and Tang Pidian attacked at the same time, one with his left hand and the other with his right hand, and at the back of Yu Jiuling's head at the same time.

While chatting, the scout flew over again, and clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the Chu cavalry is already twenty miles away."

Li Chi pointed at Tang Pidian again.

Tang Pidian said: "I understand, just continue to monitor."

After saying that, he glanced at the scout, but the scout did not leave immediately, but looked at the steamed buns in Li Chi and the others' hands.

Li Chi immediately smiled and handed over the two skewers of steamed buns that had just been baked: "Do you want to eat too?"

The scout said, "After the mistress returned, I braged for a while, saying that it was the steamed buns roasted by the lord and gave them to him for food, so I was so proud."

He took the steamed bun that Li Chi handed him, chuckled, saluted, then turned around and ran away.

He laughed while riding his horse.

Tang Pidian looked at Li Chi's hand and signaled for a moment. Li Chi had to take two more buns to bake.

Coincidentally, the baked ones were almost ready to eat, and another scout came flying.

Before the scout could speak, he looked at the steamed bun in Li Chi's hand first. Without waiting for him to speak, Li Chi handed the steamed bun over directly: "I'll give it to you."

The scout also laughed, and was as happy as a child of 170 to 80 pounds.

He left with the steamed bun, which made Li Chi and the others confused. Tang Piddi smiled and said, "It must be so happy that he forgot to talk about the serious business."

Li Chi shouted at the scout: "Come back! What did you want to say just now? Why didn't you leave without saying it?"

The scout said, "Go back to the lord, I'm here to ask for steamed buns."

Li Chi: "..."

Tang Piddi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

Cheng Wujie smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth, and said to the scout while laughing: "Don't make any more public, otherwise the general will not be able to eat the steamed buns roasted by his lord today."

The scout said, "It's so bad... it's not good. No one knows that the lord gave me steamed buns. It's not good or bad."

After saying that, he ran away with a smile.

Li Chi stood up, took the stool and left: "Let's go, change the place quickly."

Yu Jiuling smiled and said, "On a certain day of a certain year, the king of Ning, was unable to take care of his subordinates' steamed buns and fled in panic."

Li Chi said as he walked quickly, "Ignore you for now and I'll kick you where you are."

Everyone quickly changed places and laughed while walking.

Soon, another scout found their place to report military information, saying that the Chu army's cavalry stopped ten miles away and made a wait-and-see statement. He did not continue to move forward and did not leave immediately.

Tang Pidian smiled and said, "I said it, don't pay attention. Prince Wu just wanted to see if we set up an ambush."

Li Chi asked the scout: "We have just transferred here, why did you find it directly?"

The scout said, "I... am the scout."

Li Chi looked at the steamed buns that had not yet been roasted, and the scout asked, "Have you not roasted yet?"

Li Chi nodded and thought to himself, saying, "What do you do?" I didn't expect that I haven't baked it yet.

The scout looked at Tang Pidian: "Do you have any other orders for the general?"

Tang Pidian said: "No."

The scout said, "Okay, then I'll wait a moment."

Li Chi: "..."

Half a day later, Prince Wu was in the army.

Yang Jingyuan led the cavalry back to Ting'an County and saw Prince Wu report on military information.

After hearing Yang Jingyuan's words, Prince Wu frowned slightly.

His cavalry was only ten miles away from Ning's army, but Ning's army still had no reaction at all. It seemed that Ning's army had indeed had a plan to lure the enemy.

After pondering for a while, Prince Wu shook his head and sighed: "There is no ambushing plan, but Tang Pimen is sure that I dare not send troops to attack."

Nie Qitai asked, "Prince, what if we go to attack now?"

Prince Wu shook his head and said, "It's too late. It's already a day passed. The Ning army's teams crossing the river have at least tens of thousands, and they are already ready."

He got up and walked back and forth on the city wall.

"But Tang Pidian is so confident, probably because their reinforcements are really not far away."

Yang Jingyuan said: "Prince, why not act separately. His subordinates lead their troops to break through the southeast, and take the prince's banner to lead Tang Pi to chase him. General Nie led his troops to break through the southwest direction, and also took the prince's banner. Tang Pi did not dare to be careless, and would definitely divide his troops to chase him. At that time, the prince personally led the army and took advantage of the Ning army's division of troops east and west to break through the south."

I have to say, this is an excellent idea.

But nothing unexpected happened, Prince Wu shook his head.

He could not do it if his subordinates pretended to be him and attracted the enemy to chase him. If he were the ones who could do such a thing, he would not have so many loyal soldiers under him.

He could have his men pretend to be him to scare the enemy, but that was completely different from the situation at this time.

It is true that Prince Wu spared no life in war, but that was for victory, and all the victory was not for himself, but for the Great Chu.

At this time, what Yang Jingyuan advised was to let Prince Wu sacrifice his subordinates and seek a chance to survive.

Even if he used a knife to force him on Prince Wu's neck, he would not agree.

"No need to say anything more about this."
