Chapter 338 Xie Tingzhou's Counterattack
"Father will be caught in a dilemma because of the emperor's suspicion. What a vicious plan!"
Xie Yichen pondered for a moment, then said with his eyes wide open.
At this moment, the confusion in his eyes had dissipated a lot. Xie Tingzhou told him all this just to make him see the cruelty of war and the evil of human nature.
"This is war. There is no room for luck. Any small mistake will put you and your family in an irreparable situation. Don't show any mercy to the enemy. The battlefield is a battle of life and death. Either he dies or you die."
"What should I do?"
After all, Xie Yichen was only twelve years old, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
He now truly regards Xie Tingzhou as his biological father, and naturally does not want him to be in any danger.
"Faced with this situation, when you have no ability to break the impasse, you can only cut off your tail to survive and write a letter to the emperor to denounce Helian Na's sinister intentions in righteous and stern words."
"Finally, I took a step back to advance, and took the initiative to resign from the post of general. I didn't want to touch any position that would touch the emperor's sensitive nerves. Then I thought of ways to strengthen my own strength and strive to have a place in this chaotic world."
Xie Tingzhou looked at Xie Yichen and slowly analyzed the situation with him.
Xie Yichen was unwilling to give in:
"Father, can't I discuss with the emperor, pretend to surrender to Helian Na, and then take the opportunity to trick Helian Na?"
Xie Tingzhou glanced at Xie Yichen with satisfaction:
"You have grown up and know how to think for yourself instead of blindly listening to other people's opinions. This is a good thing. But your method is not advisable. First of all, Helian Na will not believe that you are truly surrendering."
"Besides, he has his own advisers. He might even use your surrender to break through Yuzhou's defenses. By then, you won't be able to explain yourself even if you open your mouth."
Xie Tingzhou saw that Xie Yichen was seriously thinking about what he said, so he stopped and slowly sipped his tea and continued:
"Secondly, even if you tell the emperor that you are pretending to surrender, the emperor's suspicious instinct will make him not and dare not continue to trust you. If any link does not meet expectations, your family in Kyoto will be in danger."
After listening to Xie Tingzhou's words, Xie Yichen frowned and thought for a moment:
"So, the best outcome for me is to cut off my tail. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."
Seeing that his son had understood the truth he wanted him to understand, Xie Tingzhou said arrogantly:
"Cut off your tail! Today I will take you to destroy Helian's lair and chop off his dog head! Son, remember that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are bullshit!"
"what!"
Xie Yichen looked at Xie Tingzhou in amazement, this change was too big!
He was a little confused for a moment!
"What are you still standing there for? Call in all the counselors and generals to discuss the formation for the attack! I must chop off Helian Na's head and kick it like a ball today! How dare you trick me like this! Do you think I grew up playing in the mud?"
Xie Tingzhou looked at his adopted son with a doting look on his face, as if he were looking at a stick.
This son is good in every way except that he is a little slow in reaction!
Xie Yichen:……
Xie Yichen had been listening silently to Xie Tingzhou's arrangements for the siege, keeping Xie Tingzhou's arrangements firmly in mind, and then carefully trying to figure out the purpose of Xie Tingzhou's arrangements.
After everyone left, Xie Tingzhou said to Xie Yichen, who was frowning in deep thought:
"Zhang Yuanshan has a steady personality. Let him be the captain of the vanguard camp. He has the ability to clear the way for our army to sweep away the enemy."
"Li Yang is young and has little combat experience, but he is brave and courageous. Letting him follow Zhang Yuanshan to gain experience can also make up for some of Zhang Yuanshan's character flaws. It's an excellent combination."
"Father, I understand."
At this moment, Xie Yichen was truly convinced by Xie Tingzhou.
"As a general, you can't just be competitive. You have to use your brain to fight. You have to cherish every life in your team and don't let them take risks easily."
“So, every decision you make must be a strategy that minimizes casualties after repeated deductions.”
Xie Tingzhou spoke to Xie Yichen earnestly.
Xie Yichen: "Son, I understand!"
As night fell, the Xie family army, clad in black armor, launched a fierce attack on Helian's lair!
"Boom boom boom!"
"dong dong dong~"
"Boom boom boom!"
Helian Na, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened by the sound of war drums!
He was a little confused. What was going on?
Then a soldier rushed in and reported:
"Master! The Xie family army is attacking the city again... again... again!"
Helian Na's face changed when he heard this, and then he cursed:
"That damn bastard Xie Tingzhou, didn't he just attack the city during the day? Why is he here again at night? I'll kill him today!"
Helian Na was really angry this time!
During the day today, Xie Tingzhou sent people over like he was having a seizure and hit them a few times and then ran away. This happened three times in a row!
The first time he thought Xie Tingzhou had sent the main force, so he mobilized their main force to fight.
The result, damn it!
This guy actually just sent a guerrilla force to cause trouble, making all his efforts in vain!
He led his army back to the city to rest, but in the afternoon Xie Tingzhou came to attack the city again. He thought that Xie Tingzhou deliberately confused him the first time, and the second time was a real attack.
So he hurriedly sent out his main force to meet the enemy in a mighty force!
As a result, Xie Tingzhou only sent a small force to cause trouble, and after a few casual exchanges with them, they retreated like lightning!
He tried his best but couldn't catch up!
Then came the third siege at dusk. He thought that this time it must be a real siege, and the previous two times must have been deliberate to confuse him just for this siege.
So he quickly assembled a large army and fought with all his might!
As a result, Xie Tingzhounas' team ran away as fast as lightning again!
Damn, have they all practiced Qinggong?
"Master! This time we are......"
The soldiers were suffering terribly at this time. They had to go out to fight three times a day to reorganize the team. They were already exhausted and really didn't want to reorganize the team with all their strength to fight again!
The most important thing is that they all thought that this time Xie's army must have come here deliberately to irritate them, or they just fired a feint and ran away like they did during the day!
Their intention is to send out a small team just to show their support!
How are you going to face the battle the next day if you don’t sleep in the middle of the night?
Helian Na was also a little hesitant, and finally he thought that this time it must be another small team, and he didn't want to go out to fight.
It must be that letter from two days ago that irritated him, so he deliberately made himself disgusted.
Humph! This is the only ability a great general has!
Since they can't defeat Yun Sheng's millions of lions head-on, they come to attack him from behind. The people of Da Deng are so cunning!
The strategist during the day stood aside, hesitating to speak. He always felt that Xie Tingzhou City was serious this time.
But he didn't dare to speak at this moment. Helian Na was woken up from his sleep and was very angry. He decided not to get into trouble at this time.
never mind! never mind!
Maybe he was overthinking it!
