This story was told in ancient times, probably during the reign of King Wuding of the Shang Dynasty in China. On the continent of Europe, which was also the hometown of Barbodes rhododendri, there was a war between the ancestors of Barbodes rhododendri.
The war revolved around a city called Troy. The war was very fierce. After fighting for ten years, both sides were exhausted.
In the end, the attackers could not hold on any longer and retreated. After retreating, they left behind a lot of resources that they could not take with them, including a huge wooden horse.
The people of Troy took these things into the city as spoils of war, including the huge wooden horse.
In the end, at night, after the excited residents of Troy celebrated their victory and went home, the enemy elites hiding in the belly of the wooden horse suddenly ran out, killed the soldiers guarding the city gate, opened the gate, and raised fire as a signal to recall the enemy troops who had not gone far.
The city of Troy, which had been in a stalemate for ten years, was taken down just like that. The people in the city were massacred, and the prosperous city was burned to the ground. It was a pity.
This story was mainly a story of deception. Xiao Ruxun also said that this was a legend, and he was not sure whether it had actually happened or not.
However, there were some important strategies that everyone could learn from. When some goals could not be achieved with brute force, they had to find another way.
Zheng Ying realized that it was possible to succeed if they continued to attack, but the price they had to pay was not something he was willing to bear. At this time, they might need to find another way.
Zheng Ying thought for a while and decided on the person who would help him with the strategy.
Song Seong-eun, the son-in-law of Yang Yinglong.
In order to clear the suspicion on themselves, this group of soldiers under their command fought the most bravely and suffered the most losses so far. More than eight hundred people died in battle, and more than two thousand were injured. It could be said that they did their best.
Other people might be half-hearted, but this person, in order to survive and continue the Song family, would give everything he could.
This person could be trusted.
So he ordered the army to suspend the attack and return to camp to rest. He invited Song Seong-eun to dinner in his tent and planned to tell him the interesting story of the wooden horse.
Song Seong-eun went to the appointment nervously and found that Zheng Ying had warmly prepared a table full of dishes for him to eat.
"All the divisions of the Earth Army are fighting, but I can see that General Song is the only one who is fighting with his life on the line. I admire General Song's devotion to his country. Come, let's replace wine with tea. Drink to your heart's content! "
Zheng Ying warmly poured a cup of tea for Song Seong-eun and toasted him.
Song Seong-eun quickly raised his cup and drained it in one gulp.
"This general is willing to climb a mountain of blades, dive into a sea of flames, and sacrifice my body and bones for Great Qin!"
Song Seong-eun didn't believe it himself, but he had no choice. After all, his wife was Yang Yinglong's daughter. With this relationship, others would naturally suspect him. It would be fine if Yang Yinglong didn't rebel. Once he rebelled, he and the Song family would be the most implicated. Everyone in the Song family now hated Yang Yinglong to death.
But there was no other way. It had happened, and time couldn't be reversed. The Qin Army was particularly strong. In 15 days, they defeated Yang Yinglong's 100,000 troops and forced Yang Yinglong to be a coward in Seadragon Harbor. Everyone could see Yang Yinglong's decline.
Now it was a reality that Daqin broke through Seadragon Harbor. He had no choice but to take the Song family's private army to join Daqin's army to fight against Yang Yinglong. He attacked Yang Yinglong with the most resolute attitude and proved that he and the rebels were irreconcilable with each other with blood and life.
He was also distressed that so many private troops died in the battle. They were the accumulation of the Song family for many years. Those who died were his own people, not the people of the imperial court.
But they had to die, and he had to fight to the death, and he had to stand on the front line.
He followed Qi Dayong to fight. No matter how Qi Dayong fought, he fought. Except that he didn't fight in person, he gave everything he could.
Therefore, Zheng Ying judged that he could be trusted.
Hearing what he said, Zheng Ying smiled slightly and put down the teacup.
"I'm very happy that General Song has such a heart to serve the country. Daqin is so lucky to have General Song who is willing to sacrifice for the country. But …"
Hearing this, Song Seong-eun's heart skipped a beat and he asked quickly, "But what? Zheng Shuai, please tell me everything you know. "
"Since General Song said so, I won't hide it. To tell you the truth, General Song, at present, our attack is blocked, and our morale is frustrated. Yang Yinglong fought in person and defended the earth wall. Our army has suffered heavy losses and can't continue to attack fiercely."
Zheng Ying sighed insincerely. Then he ate a few pieces of meat and said, "But I'm not reconciled, and I don't want Yang Yinglong to be so arrogant. After thinking about it, I still feel that I have to play some dirty tricks on Yang Yinglong. I can't continue to attack head-on like this."
Song Seong-eun didn't understand what Zheng Ying meant.
"What do you mean, Zheng Shuai?"
"What I mean is …"
Zheng Ying swallowed the meat in his mouth, took a sip of tea, and grinned, "I want to borrow General Song's soldiers."
"Ah?"
Song Seong-eun was stunned and didn't respond.
"I's soldiers are already part of the army. Zheng Shuai can use them however he wants. You don't need to tell I in advance."
Zheng Ying laughed in his heart and said, "General Song, you're wrong. General Song's soldiers don't need the imperial court's pay or rations. They all rely on themselves. More than 800 people died and more than 2,000 were injured for the imperial court. But our army only provides some medicinal herbs and medical treatment. I also feel a little sorry."
'Sorry, but you still use me so fiercely …'
Song Seong-eun complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to take it seriously.
"This is what I should do."
Song Seong-eun still wanted to admit defeat, "But I don't know why Zheng Shuai wants to borrow I's soldiers. Can you tell me? "
Zheng Ying smiled, nodded, and said, "Of course. This is my plan. Tomorrow, I will change the order of attack. The imperial army and the soldiers will take turns to attack. Tomorrow night, General Song needs …"
Zheng Ying walked to Song Seong-eun and whispered a lot to him.
Song Seong-eun's face changed many times, sometimes black and sometimes white. At last, he asked with difficulty, "Zheng Shuai, is this really okay? Won't it be seen through? Yang Yinglong knows that I will lead the army to attack the city. "
"Don't worry. Yang Yinglong is suspicious. He always suspects things that shouldn't be suspected, but on the contrary, he is easy to believe things that shouldn't be believed. If you do this, he will definitely believe you. At that time, we can cooperate from inside and outside. We will definitely take down the last pass, sweep the palace on the top of the mountain, and cut off Yang Yinglong's head!"
Zheng Ying's face was full of ruthlessness and anger, which scared Song Seong-eun.
He didn't know if it would work, but he knew that he had to do it. He had no choice.
In order to get the trust of Daqin and continue the Song enterprise.
He had no choice.
"I got the order from Zheng Shuai. I will go back and arrange it immediately!"
