Chapter 536
The night is as dark as ink, and everything is silent.
The incident almost broke out suddenly. More than a dozen troops commanders led hundreds of Qi soldiers to try to attack the small gate in the southeast corner connecting Linzi's small city and the big city. The Chu army naturally refused to allow it. As a result, there was a conflict between the two sides. More than a dozen Qi soldiers were shot and killed, and several of the Chu army were injured, which led to a large-scale confrontation.
Zhao Xi first arrived when he heard the news, and at this time the two sides were already at a strife.
"Nonsai, who asked you to gather here? "!" Zhao Xi tried to suppress the development of the situation. When he lowered his face and scolded the dozen Simas who took the lead, the military marquis and the garrison commander. At this time, the situation had expanded. In addition to the military marquis and the garrison commander, several Simas and the garrison commander were also involved.
"General, Mr. Chu is not a thing!" An Wei immediately defended loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, another team leader continued to roar: "That's right, these damn Chu Guogu are in person and behind the scenes. They are two-headed snakes and two-faced rapes, not a good thing."
Some people took the lead, some people agreed, and thousands of soldiers were in a state of great enthusiasm.
Although Zhao Xi had prestige in the army, he did not dare to irritate the public and asked immediately: "What the hell is going on?"
One of Sima Chenran said, "General, Chu Guomao sent more than a dozen teams to raise military rations. If you say you can raise food, just raise food. Although our Qi State is poor, you can still take out three or five hundred stones of grain, but they shouldn't kill anyone, and they don't even let the elderly and children go. Is this a fucking human being?"
"Beasts are simply beasts!" Thousands of soldiers were in a state of great enthusiasm.
"What, kill someone?!" Zhao Xi said in disbelief, "How could this happen?"
The Chu army crossed mountains and ridges and attacked Linzi. The army only carried half a month of military rations. It had almost finished eating a few days ago. Zhao Xi knew about this. Zhao Xi also wanted to take some military rations to Zhou and Ji Chu army. However, there was no excess food in the national treasury, and the military rations in the military camp were also eaten for the first meal, so the Chu army did not mention it. He did not mention this.
But I never thought that the Chu army would dare to kill people in order to raise military rations. Is this possible?
"General, there must be a misunderstanding in the middle." Lou Jing, sweating profusely, squeezed in and said breathlessly, "The Chu army has always been strict and will never do anything like killing people and rob food."
"Misunderstanding?" Sima shouted loudly, "This matter was seen by the general with his own eyes. Can it be false?"
"Yes, we have seen the Chu army killing people, you don't know. They killed all the men, women, young and old in the village. They are not humans, they are really not humans." As soon as Sima finished speaking, dozens of Qi soldiers agreed immediately. When the rest of the soldiers heard it, their expressions became more and more excited.
The Sima drew his sword again and shouted at the small city: "If the Chu king did not kill anyone, why should he close the city gate? They were reluctant to come out to explain, they were just guilty!"
"Yes, Mr. Chu is just guilty!"
"Brothers, kill into the city and kill all the Chu kings!"
"Kill and kill, avenge the dead villagers and take revenge!"
As soon as someone instigated him, nearly Qianqijia suddenly became more and more in love.

On the northern suburbs of Linzi, above a small hill.
General Zhao Bai Yanyao looked in the direction of Lincheng and asked Zhou Yafu: "Can this work?"
Zhou Yafu shook his head slightly and said calmly: "As the saying goes, people make plans, and things come true. Before things are finished, who dares to assert that they will succeed?" After a slight pause, Zhou Yafu said again, "The only thing we need to do is to do our best to realize our intentions, that's all."
Han Ju on the other side changed his face slightly: "In other words, the general is not sure enough?"
"If I say I am 100% sure, do you believe it?" Zhou Yafu smiled and said, "But both of you don't have any confidence. At this time, the Chu army and the Qi army are far from trusting. As long as there is suspicion between them, filth may occur at any time. What we are doing now is to throw a little sparks into them."
#############
Linzi small city, city gate corridor.
"Crown Prince, you can't go out!"
"That's right, it's too dangerous to go out now!"
"It's better to go out and negotiate with Qi Jun?"
The three Simas were trying hard to persuade Xiang Zheng, hoping that he would change his mind.
"You don't have to worry, this prince will never have anything to do." Xiang Zheng smiled, then turned his head to look at the gatekeeper's soldiers, his tone was calm but with unquestionable perseverance, and said, "Open the city gate."
#############
Outside the city gate, Lou Jingzheng tried to persuade him in every way.
But this was simply futile, and the emotional soldiers did not believe him at all.
"If it's really a misunderstanding, why don't you see Chu Guomao come out to explain? Where is their prince?"
"That's right, if they hadn't done anything bad, why would they hide and become turtles?"
While the crowd was in full swing, the southeast corner gate of Linzi small town suddenly opened slowly with a creaking sound, and a clear voice came from the corridor of the city gate: "Who said that our Chu army did something wrong? Who said that our Chu army would not dare to come out to meet people? Isn't this prince coming out?"
Everyone turned their heads in unison, and a tall figure had already stepped out of the city gate, but they saw the mysterious clothes fluttering and extraordinary demeanor. Who else would be if it weren't for Prince Xiang Zheng?
"If you kill him, he will be the culprit!"
"Yes, kill him, you will have to pay your life!"
"Brothers, why are you still standing there? Come on!"
Several village chiefs suddenly clamored, and the crowd suddenly became turbulent.
When Zhao Xi saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately drew his sword and blocked Xiang Zheng, shouting: "Who dares to act without mercy!"
More than a hundred personal soldiers who came with Zhao Xi also rushed forward in unison and built a solid shield wall in front of Zhao Xi and Xiang Zheng with their shields, instantly blocking the dozen Qi soldiers who were about to move.
After suppressing the commotion of Qi's army, Zhao Xi said coldly: "Did the Chu army kill people? Should we ask clearly? If they really kill people, would it be possible to change the facts by saying a few words of excuses?"
"The facts are there, so why bother talking nonsense to him?" Someone shouted in the crowd.
"Who? Who was talking just now?" Zhao Xi shouted sternly, "Get out of this general!"
Zhao Xi is not a naughty man, nor is he an idiot. He will never be led by someone easily. A discerning person has doubts about the Chu army killing and robbing food. Zhao Xi just couldn't figure out who was causing trouble in the middle for a while. Could it be that Han He was unwilling to abdicate, so he found someone to secretly spread rumors and cause trouble?
There was a silence in the crowd. No one stood up.
This made Zhao Xi even more convinced of his judgment and immediately said loudly: "The so-called catching thieves and catching stolen goods, and catching gangsters in bed. You can't just say that people kill people and rob food for innocent purposes. Who has seen this with your own eyes?"
"This is something the villain saw with his own eyes."
"There are also villains, and the villains have also seen it."
"There is also the last general, and the last general also saw it."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Qi soldiers stood up in unison. One of them was Sima, a prestigious other army in the army. Zhao Xi also knew his character quite well. He was always a righteous person and always had a lot of money. He would not spread rumors and cause trouble at any time, but now Zhao Xi was confused. Could the Chu army really kill people and rob food?
Looking at Zhao Xi's consultation, Xiang Zheng shook his head calmly and said, "General, I dare to use Xiang's head to guarantee it. The entire Chu army's army is in a small city, and no one goes out to kill people and grab grain."
#############
On the northern suburbs of Linzi, above the hills.
It has almost two hours passed, and it is almost time for midnight, but there is still no movement in Linzi City.
Bai Yan, who was paced back and forth, suddenly turned his head and said to Zhou Yafu anxiously: "General, it seems that your plan has not worked, and the Chu army and the Qi army have not yet fought."
"It seems that just throwing a little Mars is not enough." Zhou Yafu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Well, a little Mars is not enough, so add a handful of fire inside."
#############
Outside the small town of Linzi, when the two sides were in a stalemate, something happened again.
The school guarding the north gate suddenly ran to Zhao Xi panting and reported urgently: "General, the Chu army is killing people again. Some people are fleeing to Linzi for refuge. A team of about 100 Chu troops are chasing them."
"Look, I'm saying that I didn't kill anyone, it's just talking nonsense with my eyes open!"
"Now, see what he has to say, these damn Chu Guomao, die!"
"Don't he want to guarantee the head? OK, cut off his head now!"
The situation that had just calmed down suddenly exploded again, and the soldiers of Qi army were in a state of great emotion again.
Zhao Xi's expression also became cold and said to Xiang Zheng: "Prince, what else do you have to say now?"
Lou Jing next to him was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and kept stamping: "Misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding."
"No, this is probably not a misunderstanding, but a plot!" Xiang Zheng waved his hand and said lightly, "General, if you guessed it wrongly, this must be a trick played by the Han army and Hei Bingtai."
"Han Army? Black Ice Platform?" Zhao Xi's heart moved slightly and said, "What is the evidence of the prince?"
"There is no evidence." Xiang Zheng shook his head and said, "However, is this a trick between the Han army and Hei Bingtai? You can tell if you send troops out of the city and see it."
"Okay." Zhao Xi made a quick decision and shouted, "Then let's take a look together."
#############
On the northern suburbs of Linzi, above the hills.
Looking at the "Chu Army" who was chasing the Qi people outside the northern gate of Linzi, Zhou Yafu suddenly spoke to Bai Yan, and Han Ju said, "Two generals, hurry up and rectify their troops and prepare to steal the city."
"Huh? I'm going to snatch the city?" Bai Yan was stunned when he heard this, and Han Ju said incomprehensiblely, "General Yafu, aren't you going to provoke the arms of the Chu army and Qi? Why did you change your mind and plan to snatch the city?"
Zhou Yafu smiled slightly and said, "I want to provoke the Chu army and Qi arms, but provoking them to fire is just a means, and the ultimate goal is to take the opportunity to steal the city." After a brief pause, Zhou Yafu said confidently, "If this general is not wrong, the Qi army should leave the city later. If you don't seize the city at this time, when will you wait?"
