On the other side, Qiao Wan brought 500 people to the left pontoon bridge at dawn today, searched all the fishing boats on both sides of the river, burned them all, and tied explosives to the bridge one by one.

After doing this, she still climbed up to the hill where she crouched during the food interception last time. Nanzhu and two guards were with her, besides Chen Xiuhe.

"I told you that you really don't need to come here." Qiao Wan found a place with a wide view and stood still, raising her binoculars to look across the river.

It was clear at a glance who they came here to do these things. She didn't want to take Chen Xiuhe with her, but Chen Xiuhe didn't even want the usual upbringing, so he just rolled on the ground and had to follow.

"I...I..." Chen Xiuhe couldn't say "I" for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He wanted to prove that his brother would never be like Qiao Wan thought, or he wanted to Let yourself see it with your own eyes, it's so heartbreaking.

This topic could not be continued, Chen Xiuhe was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "Will your plan work? There are so many letters, it is so hard to imitate the handwriting, what if someone sees through it?"

Although others are not on the frontal battlefield, they still have the situation on the battlefield in their hearts.He purposely sneaked out of his home to join the princess. First, he admired Her Highness the Princess. Second, he felt that he had limited knowledge from talking about war on paper. He wanted to observe how this legendary commander led the battle.

He couldn't let go of his brother's side, and he didn't want to miss this battle that was destined to be recorded in the annals of history. Unfortunately, he couldn't do both at the same time, so he had to follow Qiao Wan to search for ships while learning their whole plan intermittently from her mouth. .

These things were originally classified, not to mention that Chen Xiuhe had never heard of them, even the generals under Luo Fengxin's command were only a few who knew the inside story.But at this time, everything is almost done, so there is no need to keep it secret.

Qiao Wan had told him earlier that the civil strife in Minzhou was staged for the eyeliners of King Zhengxi, and those letters were all forged, so she asked Luan Yu to go to the Fuzhou county government office to steal the list of soldiers and find someone Randomly wrote tens of thousands of letters according to their names.

The list of soldiers is used except for the distribution of pensions before and after the war. It is not used at ordinary times. The one that needs to be used is carried with the army. The government office is just a copy, so there is no need to worry about being found out. They use blank books. Replaced the original directory, after all, who would have thought that someone would steal this thing.

There was nothing left or right, since Chen Xiuhe wanted to know more details, Qiao Wan patiently spoke to him.

"You think this matter is too complicated. There are tens of thousands of handwriting to imitate. General Chen, you came from a famous family. You have read sage books since you were a child. Literacy and writing are like eating and drinking. But most of these soldiers are from Poor, there are only a handful of people who have attended school seriously.

They can't read a few words themselves, let alone their wives, children and mothers.Usually, even if there is a family letter, the family members must find someone to write it for them, and these people have to find someone to read it for them, so how can they know how to recognize handwriting. "

When Chen Xiuhe thought about it, it seemed to make sense, but he still found it incredible.The truth that soldiers never tire of deceit can be understood at first glance, but there is still a lot of knowledge about how to use deceit to deceive the enemy in actual implementation.

"Even as you said, I still don't know one thing. King Zhengxi's 10,000+ army may not all know each other. Tens of thousands of fake family letters fell from the sky. How can we guarantee that they will see the one that belongs to them?" Chen Xiuhe asked.

"How do you know that what they saw was falling from the sky?" Qiao Wan put down the binoculars and turned her head to ask Chen Xiuhe.

Chen Xiuhe was puzzled: "Could it be that there are other sources?"

"King Zhengxi has secret agents on our side, and we also have them in his army." Qiao Wan said slowly, "Everyone knows that confidential military information must be guarded against. It is difficult for ordinary secret agents to find out, but in the chaos, let them divert water. It's easier to dial it up a little more muddy."

"You mean that the really important letters are in the hands of these secret agents?" Chen Xiuhe quickly understood what Qiao Wan meant.

Qiao Wan bent her eyes and gave him a "taught child" look.

"That's it. Only the letters in their hands have deliberately imitated the handwriting, and the corresponding targets have also been selected. Once the leaders of the soldiers are bluffed, the soldiers will naturally think that they don't understand. That's true too. Fear has built up in the army, and it doesn't matter if the rest of the letter gets to the right people."

In order to further create panic and prevent these people from having a chance to calm down, Qiao Wan arranged for crying on the opposite mountain.

Under her instruction, Yun Guangyi invited all the women from several villages near Tongwen Villa last night on the grounds that someone in his family had passed away and wanted someone to mourn.

Qiao Wan got the timing right. No one knew about the connection between Tongwen Villa and the Minzhou Army. Yun Guangyi only went to invite people in the middle of the night. Even if someone noticed something strange, it would be too late to leak the news when they knew the purpose.

After listening to Qiao Wan's explanation, Chen Xiuhe only felt that his eyes were wide open. From his previous understanding, war is about fighting like a god, using the right time, place and people to seize the opportunity, avoid its vigor, and attack its lazy return, but he doesn't know how to return. You can calculate people's hearts like this.

Now his mood is more complicated.A few days ago, he was still thinking that it would be good if he stayed at home obediently and didn't come this trip, so that he would still know nothing and live a simple life every day, but after listening to Qiao Wan explain how to do it step by step for him After messing with the enemy's mind, he felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"I'm sorry..." Chen Xiuhe lowered his head, tapped his toes on the ground, squinted to one side, and his voice was as soft as a gnat.

Fortunately, Qiao Wan's hearing is not weak, and because she is so close, she didn't miss it.

"Hey, the sun is coming out from the west today? Why did our mighty little general Chen say sorry to me?"

Qiao Wan's exaggerated tone was too much to beat, Chen Xiuhe's apology was already difficult, but being run over by Qiao Wan made him feel uncomfortable all over his body.

He twisted his fingers with his hands behind his back, switched feet and knocked on the ground, and finally stood up straight again.

A manly man, dare to act, and admit when you are wrong, what are you embarrassed to say!

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have underestimated you before, treating you as a burden to His Highness. You...you are also very good at coming up with these tricks! And you are willing to teach me these, I, I am not a wolf-hearted person, I will accept you With love, I will treat you as my teacher!"

In his fantasy, this passage should be said cleanly and neatly, with the style of a gentleman, but in fact he stuttered and didn't say it, and he was too ashamed to know what he was talking about.

"Hey, I didn't say that I thought of these things. His Highness thought of them. I just helped her find some people to do it." Qiao Wan said with a smile.

"I have studied the battles that His Highness fought against the Hu people before. His Highness is good at commanding troops, and the soldiers he leads are really worthy of 'It's as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, plundering as fire, immovable as a mountain, difficult to know as shadow, moving as Lei Ting's evaluation. It is because of these that she has led the Northern Army for several years to make the barbarians frightened, not as treacherous and treacherous as this time, this is not her style." Chen Xiuhe said with certainty.

Qiao Wan raised the binoculars and tapped Chen Xiuhe's shoulder lightly: "You are stupid when you read books. According to what you say, her style has been figured out by others, so why fight?"

"Knowing and being able to resist are two different things. Everyone knows that the barbarian cavalry is strong and fast as lightning, but how many people can deal with it after so many years?"

It was about the heroic image of His Highness, Chen Xiuhe stopped stuttering when talking to Qiao Wan, and it was like a different person in an instant.

"All right, all right, it's up to you." Qiao Wan laughed, "It's my idea, but it's not entirely my own. I borrowed a little from the ideas of the predecessors."

"Which predecessor?" When Chen Xiuhe talked about the art of war, he immediately became interested.

People you don't know.Qiao Wan said silently in her heart.

Her plan was born out of difficulties, and if she could copy it completely, she wouldn't want to make it so troublesome. The main reason is that the Fuzhou local dialect has a complicated accent, and outsiders are not easy to learn, and there are no particularly popular songs, so she had to complicate it. change.

Chen Xiuhe saw that Qiao Wan was lost in thought, and wondered if there might be some secret behind it.

As a result, Qiao Wan rolled her eyes and said: "You first say that I will teach you something, and you are willing to regard me as a teacher. Then, 'a teacher for one day and a father for life', you first call 'Dad' to listen to me Tell you."

Chen Xiuhe was stunned for a moment, he had never seen such a shameless person since he was a child, and he didn't even know how to react.

This person is really serious for only half a moment, but he thought she was thinking seriously!

A Qingqi came running from the other side of the river.

"Come, come!" The soldier on the horse shouted loudly, panting heavily.

Qiao Wan suppressed her smile, and told the guards beside her, "Let them light the fire."

"Light it up!" The guard loudly conveyed her order.

Several soldiers on the bridge ignited the fuses of the explosives and immediately jumped into the river.After a while, the ground shook, and the mile-long stone bridge collapsed into pieces of rubble in an instant, leaving only a few bare stone piers in the middle of the river and a small section of dilapidated bridge deck. Both sides of the tail vanished.

Qiao Wan murmured her guilt in her heart. With the technology of this era, it is not easy to build such a bridge in a rushing river. Just blowing it up like this will have a great impact on the nearby people and even the entire Yuanzhou.

The reason why she waited until now is to hope that there is still a chance to keep the bridge, but unfortunately——

A quarter of an hour later, a large group of soldiers on horseback appeared on the other side of the river.

Chen Xiuhe looked at the leader, and his heart seemed to fall into an ice cave.

He and Qiao Wan stood in a relatively open place on the top of the mountain. When Chen Xiuhe saw Chen Qiuming, Chen Qiuming also saw Qiao Wan and his younger brother.

The two sides faced each other across the river, and neither of them spoke.

After another quarter of an hour, Chen Qiuming turned the horse's head, raised his whip and dismounted.The crotch|lower mount galloped out, and the rest of the horses followed, and disappeared from Qiao Wan's sight in a short while.

Chen Xiuhe knelt down and covered his eyes.

"Hey, are you okay? Let's go." Qiao Wan tugged at him.

Chen Qiuming's plan to sneak attack on the Minzhou army failed, so he could only rush back to attack the Fuzhou army to gain some military exploits.

Besides, the bridge was blown up, Qiao Wan was not worried that he would go back and forth, there was no other shortcut around here to get behind Luo Fengxin in a short time, she should go back too.

"I, I don't want to go back..." Chen Xiuhe wiped his face, but he didn't cry, but his eyes were red.

"Ok?"

"I don't want to go back to His Highness, and I don't want to go home... I, I don't know where I'm going, you go..." Chen Xiuhe said with blank eyes.

Qiao Wan sighed, she didn't know how many times she has sighed because of this child.

She patted Chen Xiuhe's head, took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to him.

"Your Highness has already guessed this situation, and wrote a letter recommending you to go to the Northern Army. I originally planned to go back and tell you after finishing this matter, but you insisted on following. Now, I will leave the letter to you , you decide whether to go or not.”

Chen Xiuhe took the envelope, he was a little sluggish at first, and then his expression gradually became clearer.

Going to the Army of the North would save him from the fight between his father and the princess.The duty of the Northern Garrison Army is to resist the Hu people and defend the country, which is perfect for him.

He gripped the envelope tightly, stood up abruptly and bowed deeply to Qiao Wan: "Thank you, Princess, for your reminder. Please, Princess, convey my thanks to Your Highness, and I'll go right away."

Although Qiao Wan didn't know Chen Xiuhe for a long time, but this child is not bad, sometimes even a little cute, she felt a little bit reluctant to say goodbye suddenly.

But it was useless for Chen Xiuhe to stay here, so Qiao Wan asked someone to lead him a horse without saying a word.

"Since you have made your choice, I wish you the best of luck."

Chen Xiuhe got on his horse, swept away the confusion of these days, and returned to the high-spirited young man when he first met.

He cupped his hands to Qiao Wan and said, "There will be a time later."

Qiao Wan returned the salute, cupped her hands and said, "There will be a time later."

***

After parting with Chen Xiuhe, Qiao Wan and the others withdrew back to Guchuan, and when they saw Luo Fengxin again, the battle was decided.King Zhengxi died among the rebellious army, Luo Fengxin captured some of the surrendered generals and soldiers, and Chen Qiuming captured the other part.

At night, everyone finally had the long-lost celebration banquet.

It is said to be a banquet, but in fact the banquet is full of white water. They have not yet returned to their hometowns, and the real celebration banquet will have to wait until His Majesty confers rewards.

Except for the generals on duty tonight, the rest of the generals gathered in the big tent, and Qiao Wan's friends who had contributed to the campaign were also invited to the banquet.

"I went to knock on the door in the middle of the night, and those villagers were vicious one by one, and they were about to beat me with sticks. I directly lifted the cloth covering the carriage, showed a box of money, and said to give them all, and said to wait After they finish crying, we will give each of them a penny.”

Yun Guangyi's eloquence is not afraid of strangers, the more lively the place is, the more he likes to make noise, he happily told Luo Fengxin's generals what happened the night before the decisive battle.

"When the villagers saw that they could get so much money, their attitudes changed immediately. When they got to the mountain, they cried so much that they felt sincere. I was afraid that it would not be desolate enough to turn around and I would not give them the remaining penny."

"That's not right. One night of crying will cost you two shillings. It's a great thing, and people can't make this money by selling thirty chickens."

Yin Sheng gnawed on the chicken leg and said, the chicken she gnawed was given by the villagers.The villagers were overjoyed when they suddenly got such a windfall, and gave them a lot of chickens and ducks, all of which were brought to improve the food in the army.

"Thanks to your trick birds, the grandchildren in Fuzhou were scared to death. Let's rush over like chopping melons and vegetables." A general smiled boldly.

Yun Xiangrong doesn't like to talk, so the task of bragging and nonsense falls on Yun Guangyi alone, he waved his hands and said, "Hey, it's just a small skill, you are the ones who can burn King Zhengxi's food overnight .”

"It's all thanks to Ms. Mu." The general laughed again.

Qiao Wan and Yun Guangyi followed the general's gaze and looked at a female general sitting at the end of the table. It was the only female general present besides Luo Fengxin, named Mu Ping.

She was originally a bandit, and her family was poor when she was young, so she became a family early.The people of Minzhou are tough, but in order to protect her sickly mother and younger siblings, she is even tougher than men from ordinary families.

At that time, there was a bully in the village who bullied her every day. She was no match for the bully in size and strength, not to mention that the bully had a few gangsters who threatened her family every now and then.

She endured it for five years, and finally found a chance to kill all those people.

Because of her life, she had no choice but to take her younger siblings and mother to become bandits. Later, the village gradually grew stronger, and she became the owner of the village, with more than a thousand people under her command.

In these years, she led her subordinates to do some bad things, and also did a lot of good things.After weighing it, Luo Fengxin brought her and her subordinates into the army, and asked them to atone for their crimes.

King Zhengxi only knew that it would take a day and a night to ride a fast horse from the place where the Minzhou army camped to Dayao, but he didn't know that Mu Ping and her men didn't need horses at all.

They lived on the cliffs in the deep mountains all the year round, and crossing the mountains and ridges was like walking on flat ground. On one side of Datao was a straight cliff. Generally speaking, it was impossible for anyone to come down from the top, but Mu Ping and her men could do it. They There was no detour, walking directly through the mountains and forests, climbing down from the top of the mountain silently, and arriving at the destination in only one night.

Hearing everyone talking about herself, Mu Ping raised her wine glass and drank water instead of wine in one gulp.

"General Mu has indeed done a great job this time, and I promise that you will not be owed anything."

After Luo Fengxin spoke, Mu Ping stood up and bowed to thank her.

"Hey, why don't you praise me as an old man!" Chang Feng patted the table, "You didn't see that, those Fuzhou soldiers saw our armor as if they had seen a ghost, they would not say anything Now, I only know how to cry for my father and mother.”

The armor on his body has not been replaced yet. Unlike the other generals sitting here, his armor is pure black, the cloak and cap are blue, and the shape of the armor is slightly different from everyone else.

This is not the armor of the Yu Dynasty, this armor belongs to the Changhe Kingdom.

Luo Jinhe entrusted Luo Fengxin to send secret envoys to the king of Changhe Kingdom to borrow troops. However, the king of Changhe Kingdom came to power not long ago, and the situation in the country was unstable, so he could not borrow troops, so he borrowed two thousand armors and Luo Fengxin.

Luo Fengxin took the two thousand armors and asked Chang Feng to lead someone to pretend to be the Changhe Army.Changhe was also adjacent to Fuzhou. King Zhengxi didn't believe that Luo Fengxin had the strength to attack Fuzhou. He panicked when he saw the "Changhe Army". If Changhe sent troops to help, Fuzhou might have fallen.

"What are you praising you for? It doesn't matter if you come from someone." The other person laughed, "If you want me to say that it's a clever plan by His Royal Highness and the princess, to turn those people around, are you right?"

Everyone said "yes" in unison.In the middle of the excitement, a soldier on duty entered the tent.

"His Royal Highness, there is a person who fainted outside our camp. Before he fainted, he said that he had an urgent matter to see His Highness the Princess."

Luo Fengxin and Qiao Wan looked at each other, and both felt ominous.

"Bring him over here." Luo Feng thought in his heart.

Two soldiers worked together to carry the man into the tent.Qiao Wan and Luo Fengxin took a closer look, wasn't this the person who ran errands for Empress Cao when Empress Cao secretly asked them to meet in Xishi the year before last!
