Chapter 108: A treacherous person needs an equally treacherous person to deal with him
Ye Ze shook his head in disapproval: "This wine has just been distilled and it doesn't taste good. Fifth brother, don't try it."
Xu Wu raised his eyebrows and retorted unconvincedly: "You don't drink alcohol, how do you know it doesn't taste good?"
"That's the theory. The distilled liquor needs to be aged for a period of time before it tastes mellower..." Ye Ze said as he felt something was wrong. "Oh? No, you almost led me astray. This liquor is not meant to be drunk!"
Xu Wu smiled awkwardly and said, "There's still a lot left, right? It's okay to drink a little, right?"
Ye Ze was also impressed by him. He really didn't know what was so good about the wine that could make a grown man so greedy. "Then I'll leave a jar for you, but you have to wait for a while before you can drink it."
"Okay, okay, hehe, you still have to be my brother!" Xu Wu smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. It was the first time he smelled such a strong aroma of wine.
"What a waste!" Mu Xingchen rolled his eyes speechlessly and said to Ye Ze, "He finally managed to make this little bit, what are you doing for him?"
As if Xu Wu was afraid that Ye Ze would go back on his word, he hugged Mu Xingchen's neck and said, "Let's go together, let's drink together later!"

The wind was cold and the twelfth lunar month had arrived in the blink of an eye. About half a month had passed since the last battle. Just when He Chengfeng thought that the North Vietnamese army would not make any more moves before the New Year, Xiao Yunting suddenly led an army of 100,000 to raid Yunzhou City in the middle of the night.
He Chengfeng was stunned when he heard the news. The fear he felt when the border town was lost came back to him. Why did the North Vietnamese army like to launch sneak attacks in the middle of the night? Who were they trying to scare?
"Where's Mu Heng? Hurry up and ask him to recruit his troops to fight!"
There was chaos in the military camp again. Ye Ze divided one Da Li Pill into twenty small pills and distributed them to his soldiers. Since everyone knew that he could make medicine, he shamelessly said that he made it himself. He also instructed that no one should panic on the battlefield and must obey orders.
Mu Heng was the main general of the central army, Deputy General Qin and General Wang were the left and right vanguards, General Hu was the rear guard, and they led 100,000 troops to fight against Xiao Yunting's 100,000 troops. He Chengfeng led the remaining soldiers to guard the city gate.
This battle was different from the last one. This time, Xiao Yunting came straight to attack the city! In the last battle, the two sides did not decide the winner, but Xiao Yunting suddenly withdrew his troops and fled in a panic, just to give Yu Jun an illusion that he would be defeated by Mu Heng this time, just like he did thirty years ago.
Even though the 200,000-strong North Vietnamese army had already set up camp a hundred miles outside Yunzhou City, Xiao Yunting still ceased fighting for more than ten days in order to let the Dayu army relax their vigilance.
Even the fact that Xiao Yunting personally led his troops to launch a surprise attack on the city tonight was fake!
But He Chengfeng didn't know that he had ordered all the soldiers in the camp to go out and fight to protect Yunzhou! Who would have thought that your 100,000-man army's sneak attack in the middle of the night was just a feint?
The battle lasted from midnight until dawn. The North Vietnamese army sounded the call for the troops to retreat, and the North Vietnamese soldiers retreated hastily without any desire to fight.
In the meeting hall,
He Chengfeng rubbed his brow tiredly and asked the generals who had dark circles under their eyes like him, "What do you think of this battle?"
Deputy General Qin said with a smile: "Don't worry, General. We barely lost any soldiers this time and drove away the 100,000-strong army of North Vietnam. In my opinion, we might as well make a concerted effort and take the border town back directly!"
"What Vice General Qin said is right. When we were cleaning up the battlefield, there weren't many bodies of our soldiers." General Hu agreed. There weren't many bodies of enemy soldiers either, which was really strange. But he didn't dare to say something that would damage morale, lest he offend the general.
He Chengfeng lowered his eyebrows, his expression somewhat gloomy, "In this case..."
"General," Mu Heng stood up and interrupted, "I think the enemy's strategy is not as simple as we see... Our soldiers did not suffer many casualties in this battle, but have you visited the wounded camp? The few tents in the camp are not enough!"
He Chengfeng frowned and looked at Mu Heng: "What do you mean?"
Could this be another trick of Xiao Yunting? He Chengfeng felt a chill on his back. He almost fell for his mother's trick again. If you want to fight, just fight with real swords and guns. How can you be a hero if you always play tricks behind the scenes?
Mu Heng said carefully: "I think Xiao Yunting deliberately retreated after being defeated. His purpose is to weaken our army and to make us relax our vigilance... Tonight or tomorrow night, North Vietnam will surely launch another surprise attack!"
"Then in your opinion, how should we deal with it?" He Chengfeng asked subconsciously.
Mu Heng's eyes were firm. "Fight! But focus on defense. While avoiding casualties, try to injure as many enemy soldiers as possible. Give them a taste of their own medicine."
He Chengfeng looked at Mu Heng strangely. As expected, to deal with a treacherous villain like Xiao Yunting, he had to let Mu Heng, who was equally treacherous and scheming, take care of him!
None of the generals present refuted Mu Heng's opinion.
"How many soldiers were injured this time?" He Chengfeng suddenly asked. After all, there were limited veterans in the camp. What was the difference between letting these new recruits who had never been to the battlefield fight and sending them to fight?
"More than ten thousand..." General Hu stuttered out four words.
He Chengfeng was shocked: "What?"
"General," Mu Heng cupped his hands and mentioned another matter: "Captain Ye has made another contribution."
He Chengfeng glanced at him. Is it time to claim credit now? There are tens of thousands of soldiers! If Xiao Yunting comes a few more times, they will just hand over Yunzhou to him!
Mu Heng said to himself: "He has two contributions. Ye Baihu developed a high-concentration liquor..."
Just after hearing this, someone couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Why did Deputy General Mu bring this up? Could it be that he wants the general to open a toast for them to celebrate their success?"
The other generals were also confused. Weren't they studying how to deal with the North Vietnamese enemy? Why did they get to the topic of alcohol?
He Chengfeng's face turned even darker, but he said, "Go on!"
"Yes." Mu Heng's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "This liquor is not for drinking, but for disinfecting the wounds of the wounded soldiers. It can avoid the secondary damage caused by burns and disinfection, and can make the wounds heal as soon as possible."
"what?!"
The generals were shocked, "Does white wine have such an effect?"
"Of course there is no ordinary liquor. The high-concentration liquor was developed by Ye Baihu specifically for external injuries." General Wang also said. After all, Ye Ze was a soldier under his command. How could General Wang not know his contribution?
He Chengfeng's eyes flashed with surprise. If the wounds could be healed quickly, wouldn't that mean his soldiers would be able to return to the battlefield and kill the enemy soon? Finally, there was something that made him feel relieved. He didn't expect that this little soldier was really capable! He could consider training him well...
"It is indeed a great achievement! What is the other achievement?" He Chengfeng asked.
