The city was surprisingly quiet, with no attack, no reconnaissance, no messenger, and the two stalemates seemed to have completely forgotten that there were nearly 40,000 soldiers outside the city.

As time went by, the scouts in front saw the frequent mobilization of troops in the city on the tower. Han Ruzi became more and more anxious after hearing the news. Shortly after noon, Cui Teng brought the exact news.

Mr. Cui ran back from the city without even wearing armor. He rushed into the tent and shouted: "Brother-in-law, run quickly, the city has spread all over the city. The Southern Army and the Suwei Army are going to launch an attack together. It will be tomorrow morning, and it is still too late to run now."

He stood at the door, holding a horse whip with one hand and calling Han Ruzi with the other, with a look of sweat and urgency.

"Teacher Cui is willing to let you out of the city?" Han Ruzi asked.

"Father has no time to care about me. He is now in a state of great anxiety. He is just thinking about how to defeat Shangguan Sheng and you, and he doesn't care about any affection. Brother-in-law, you shouldn't stay here. My father will definitely kill you if he acts seriously this time."

"When he sent out three assassins, wasn't it true?" Han Ruzi smiled. Once he knew the other party's plan, he was not so nervous.

"The assassin is easy to deal with. The Southern Army and the Suwei Army join forces, you can't beat it." Cui Teng was not polite at all, "Don't wait to die here, let's go find the Northern Army."

Han Ruzi thought for a while and shook her head, "I can't leave."

"Why? Anyway, there are 100,000 Northern Army soldiers to protect them, so I'll just fight back." Cui Teng said in surprise.

Of course, Han Ruzi could not leave, because of his existence, the two armies in the city did not dare to act rashly. Once he left, the Southern Army and the Suwei Army would inevitably start a great battle. The winner would be the emperor and occupy the entire capital and the court. An order was passed on, even if there was no seal, he could command the world.

Once the general situation is decided, no one can predict that the Northern Army will be willing to fight for him. Even if the Northern Army is completely loyal to him, the next battle will be a tough battle, and there will be fewer and fewer people who support him.

"Because... I will seem too timid when I leave." Han Ruzi simplified the reason to this sentence.

Cui Teng put down the whip and nodded seriously, "Yes, I admire your courage. What should I do? Otherwise... we might as well lead our army into the city, and we will fight in a row and win with courage. Even if we die, we can still keep our wealth forever."

Cui Teng's eyes lit up, and he really thought it was a good idea.

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "If we die, we will not be rich in eternity, but will only be infamous for thousands of years. We are considered fools who overestimate our abilities."

"I don't care when I am a fool, I have been infatuated for thousands of years... It's a bit unbeautiful. Brother-in-law, what do you think you should do?"

Han Ruzi let out a long sigh. After thinking about it, there was really no one around him. His confidants were either far away from the Northern Army or trapped in the city.

"You really want to help me?"

"certainly."

"If I win, Taifu Cui and King Donghai are both sinners."

Cui Teng was stunned. He had never thought about what happened after the war. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Will you kill my father and Donghai King?"

"As long as they are willing to surrender, I will be magnanimous." Han Ruzi said.

Cui Teng grinned and said, "That's it. If my father and Donghai win, they will definitely kill you, and you won't kill them, so I'll help you, so family will be a family."

Han Ruzi couldn't bear to lie to him, but in this war, the most useless thing was the truth.

"I want you to lead the 500 Northern Army to set off immediately, go to welcome the main force of the Northern Army and return tomorrow morning."

"The Northern Army is so close?" Cui Teng was overjoyed.

Han Ruzi nodded. For Cui Teng, the more he explained, he became more confused, so Han Ruzi simply gave an order, picked up the pen and paper, wrote a text message, put it in the letter, sealed it with wax oil, "Take this letter and go to Baiqiao Town to disassemble it. Remember, you must be in Baiqiao Town, not early or late."

"Is the trick?" Cui Teng's voice trembled with excitement. He ran over a few steps, picked up the letter carefully, put it in his arms carefully, and gently stroked it through his clothes, "What is it written in the letter... I don't ask, Baiqiao Town, remember. I'll set off now, and I can go to Baiqiao Town at night, receive the main force of the Northern Army, and then return. The time may be a little tight tomorrow morning."

"It's good as soon as possible, but you must go to Baiqiao Town."

"clear."

Han Ruzi called the generals of the Northern Army and asked them to immediately dispatch 500 soldiers to follow Cui Teng to Baiqiao Town, and give more horses, two per person, to ensure that the horses move forward without stopping.

In less than half an hour, Cui Teng led his troops to set off. He was simple-minded and didn't ask much. After a while of busyness, he thought that the main force of the Northern Army was not far from the capital. His emotions infected many people. When the five hundred soldiers left the camp and headed north, the soldiers in the entire camp thought that the Northern Army would arrive tomorrow.

In fact, there was no news about the main force of the Northern Army. Han Ruzi's letter to Cui Teng was to ask him to bring back a batch of Northern Army flags in Baiqiao Town and use a bluff.

The Northern Army led by Cai Xinghai had a camp outside Baiqiao Town. It was in a hurry and many things were left in the camp, including some flags. If time had time, Han Ruzi asked Cui Teng to find some black cloth and temporarily forge a batch.

Han Ruzi really had no tricks to use and had no reinforcements, so he had to create one. He hoped that he could scare the two armies in the city tomorrow morning and buy himself some more time.

This move was indeed very effective against the Southern Army outside the city. No matter whether the time was reasonable or not, they thought that Juehou had been prepared a few days ago, so the Northern Army had already set off.

Han Ruzi summoned the generals of the Southern Army without hiding the coming danger. He even claimed that the attack in the city was likely to be ahead of schedule. He did not mention the "Northern Army" that Cui Teng went to greet him, and asked the generals to guess themselves and leave some room for themselves tomorrow the main force of the Northern Army did not show up, and no one could tell him that he was lying.

"In this battle tomorrow morning, defending the camp will be a victory." Han Ruzi deliberately said vaguely, "But our terrain is not good, what are your opinions?"

The generals of the Southern Army all hoped to receive heavy rewards after the war, and thought that the Northern Army would arrive tomorrow, so they rushed to come up with ideas.

"It's better to retreat for a while. There is a high ground ten miles away, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"It's only one night, and it's too late to build a camp. And we retreat, leaving the two armies in the city to move in a big way, which is more conducive to their joint efforts. If we retreat and they come out to chase them, this battle will be even more difficult."

"Then you will demolish the nearby houses and have time to build a circle of low walls, which can stop them for a while."

"Then you have to be on fire."

"It's better to attack instead of defending."

"The opposite is the city wall, we don't even have a ladder, where can we attack?"

"How long do we have to last? One hour? Half a day? Or a whole day?"

...

There were many different opinions, and in the end, all the generals looked at Juenhou. When he made a decision, Han Ruzi listened carefully to everyone's opinions and came up with an idea. Cui Teng once proposed it, but he rejected it. Now he thinks of it, but there is some reason, "Use attack instead of defense..."

"The capital city is strictly guarded, and our army lacks equipment, siege is seeking death." A general reminded again.

Han Ruzi was not thinking about siege, "Do you think the Southern Army and the Guards in the city will work together?"

The generals looked at each other and said, "That's impossible. Not to mention that the two armies are their own leaders and are fighting for the throne. Even in normal times, our Southern Army looked down on the Suwei Army. They are all slutty and are worse than the Northern Army."

The generals laughed, remembering that Juanhou was the Grand Marshal of the Northern Army, he hurriedly stopped laughing.

Han Ruzi didn't care, and he smiled, and then said seriously: "In this way, the alliance between the Southern Army and the Suwei Army in the city is just a temporary solution."

The generals did not speak, this was an obvious fact and there was no need to answer.

"Since it is a temporary measure, why can't we jointly attack the Guards with the Southern Army in the city? We are all Southern Army and belong to the same lineage."

The generals looked at each other, and no one was stupid. They all knew that Juenhou had the intention to be emperor. However, the main force of the Northern Army had not arrived, so he refused to publicly admit that everyone supported Juenhou, in order to achieve the support of Juenhou in the future. But because of this, Cui Taifu would never be able to unite with Juenhou.

"Who will talk? Will Sima Cui and King Donghai agree?" asked a general.

"No need to talk about it, just let the Guards believe that there is such a coalition."

Some generals understood Jue Hou’s plan, while others were still inexplicably aware. Han Ruzi said: “I will launch an attack before the army in the city attacks and attack the north gate. Once the Suwei Army is suspicious, it is likely that it will not leave. The Suwei Army will not move, and the southern army in the city will probably not move either.”

Everyone understood. When they first thought about this plan, they were a little abrupt. When they thought about it carefully, they were likely to succeed. The three armies suspected each other and any abnormal movement might be magnified.

The generals began to praise this as a clever plan. Han Ruzi attributed the credit to the general who proposed "attack instead of defense" and then handed over the specific arrangements to the generals. The timing of this attack is very important and must be just right, not too early or too late. It must be withdrawn in time to avoid heavy losses.

Although there were nearly 40,000 soldiers in the camp, they came in a hurry. Apart from the armor and food she carried with them, there was almost nothing left. The generals and military officials tried their best to arrange, and in the end they could only gather 5,000 troops to launch an attack. Fortunately, this was not a battle to win, and 5,000 people were enough.

Everything is ready, and it is already the second day. Five thousand soldiers can get out of the camp and rush to the capital after they get on the horse. Other soldiers are preparing to guard the camp. They must move the deer antler fence on the road in time and put it back in time. A false charge will affect the entire camp.

Han Ruzi had no other way, so she could only wait. As for what to do after tomorrow, she had to take one step at a time.

It was a sneaky night.

At about the same time, several masters under Hua Bin sneaked into the palace from the water route. Their task was very simple and difficult. They wanted to seize the key, open a palace gate, and let the Tan family's team and the Southern Army enter the palace.

Shangguan Sheng arranged for the guards to relax their guards, intending to lure the snake out of the cave and find the lost seal.

In the neglected Nancheng, Cai Xinghai had already met with Niu Lou and others, and wanted to fight with the Tan family who were monitoring them, and also found ways to rescue the supporters of Juehou who were controlled by the Southern Army.

Everyone is confident in their plans. (To be continued.)
