At this point, Deputy General Zhou didn't want to give The Emperor of Jin any face. He didn't want to give in to him!
"How dare you, Deputy General Zhou! How dare you say that! Wang was just unlucky and fell into Feng Lingtian's trap. Feng Lingtian is too cunning. What does it have to do with Wang? "The Emperor of Jin said this, but his heart was weak.
When the soldiers heard this, they all stared at The Emperor of Jin with hatred. They wanted to skin him alive!
The Emperor of Jin wasn't good enough and caused the deaths of so many people. Now he was trying to push the blame away. He really didn't repent.
Deputy General Zhou sneered, "Does the Emperor think that in a war, people will talk about friendship with you? Isn't war like this? Now you still have food to eat, but you're still being picky. What about those dead soldiers? What crimes did they commit? They didn't even have a chance to be picky! "
Hearing this, everyone looked at The Emperor of Jin with even more anger!
The Emperor of Jin saw everyone's eyes and was a little afraid. He said embarrassedly, "This … Wang didn't want it to be like this. How could Wang know that Feng Lingtian would play tricks? At most, Wang will give you half a chicken, okay? "

Lotus Mountain.
Chu Xuanchen came to Yanzhou with only fifty thousand soldiers, half of Feng Lingtian's men.
In order to intimidate Feng Lingtian, he announced that he brought a hundred thousand soldiers.
There was a saying in the art of war: The art of war is to be deceitful! The art of war is to be ever-changing and to catch the enemy off guard!
When he has a lot of soldiers, he will hide his strength. When he doesn't have enough soldiers, he will bluff and exaggerate his strength. This is a type of strategy!
However, Feng Lingtian will definitely send scouts to the camp. Therefore, in order to deceive the scouts, Chu Xuanchen had to make some preparations.
First, he could determine how many people they had by looking at the number of camps. There were about a thousand soldiers in a camp. Therefore, when Chu Xuanchen ordered his men to set up the camp, he deliberately asked his men to double the size of the camp and put military flags on each camp.
At night, he even sent someone to light a bonfire in front of the camp to create the illusion that there were people in the camp.
Secondly, counting the number of stoves could also be used to estimate the number of people. Therefore, when Chu Xuanchen ordered his men to dig more stoves, he specifically asked them to dig double the number of stoves.
During the day, they lit up all the stoves, letting the smoke in the sky spread in all directions. Smoke rose in spirals, creating the illusion that there were many of them.
After rapidly establishing the defensive fortifications, Chu Xuanchen also dispatched officers and soldiers to drive their horses to raise the dust, so that the soldiers could transport large quantities of provisions and fodder to confuse the enemy.
Only then would the enemy believe that they really had a hundred thousand men.
The art of war had always been about what was illusory and what was real.
He wanted to tell Feng Ling Tian that the Chu army was strong and powerful, and could not be underestimated!

As expected, after the scouts of Tian Sheng Kingdom checked the camp and camp of the Chu army, they hurried back to report to Feng Lingtian.
He said, "Crown Prince, according to this one's observations, the Chu army really seems to have a hundred thousand people!"
Feng Ling Tian narrowed his eyes in disbelief. "Wang brought 100,000, and Chu Xuanchen also brought 100,000? The Chu Emperor had never trusted him, so why would he give him so many soldiers? Are you sure you didn't see wrong? "
The scout said, "No, this one counted their camp and camp. I found that their camp was vast and endless, as though there were a hundred thousand people stationed there. Not only that, this one also saw that they were training their soldiers. Everywhere the Chu army went, there was thick smoke and dust. There were also soldiers moving batch after batch of provisions, as though they would never run out. From this, it can be seen that the Chu army's claim of having a hundred thousand men may not be false! "
Hearing this, Feng Lingtian gritted his teeth coldly.
