The news of finding the wild vine was brought back to the county guard by Du Yunjin and Xiao Shaokang at noon that day, Rong Jingcheng was very happy, and immediately ordered someone to send someone to purchase this wild vine in large quantities.

"Lord, what do you think you're going to do next?"

The man dressed in black was hidden in the shadows of the woods not far away, and the other man beside him looked calm and relaxed compared to the anxiety that appeared on his face.

"Didn't you say that this rattan armor has a fatal flaw?"

"Of course!" The man's eyes burned with a blazing light of confidence, "If it hadn't been for the fact that they had said that this rattan armor had a fatal flaw, my subordinates would have been able to capture that crown princess and King Yu back at that time." ”

"In that case, let's wait and see." The man who was called the Lord Monarch held his breath and lurked in the shade of the tree, quietly watching every move of the Rong family army in front of him.

Du Yunjin and Xiao Shaokang found a lot of wild vines, and it took three days to collect them all and transport them to a backyard full of piles in the county guard's mansion.

"Is this the so-called wild vine that can support the wisteria armor?" The young general crouched in front of Noto, looking over and over again, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Du Yunjin knew him, he was the first person in the main hall where she proposed to change the armor. She quietly looked at Rong Jingcheng, and the two sides secretly exchanged a look at this person.

When the young general was called into the study by Rong Jingcheng's personal soldiers, he raised his eyes and saw Du Yunjin slowly drinking tea with a tea cup.

"Du Xianxian?" He only heard Rong Jingcheng's summons, but he never thought that Du Yunjin would also appear here, and next to her sat Xiao Shaokang, who was a prisoner.

"General Meng, please take a seat." Du Yunjin smiled faintly at him and asked the leading soldiers to close the door.

"Rong Shuai ......" He was a little hesitant and a little uneasy, as a member of the Rong family's army, there was nothing wrong with seeing Du Yunjin in private, but it was very unsafe to see the prison army, if it came out in the future, it would inevitably be a scandal that he betrayed Rong Shuai and defected to the imperial court. He, Meng Chong, is not that kind of person, and he doesn't want to bear such a trumped-up charge.

"Meng Chong!"

Meng Chongzheng was anxious, but when he heard this voice, he was overjoyed.

"Rong Shuai!" He then stood up and saluted Rong Jingcheng as he walked out of the bedroom.

"Sit down." Rong Jingcheng sat down slowly, and looked at Du Yunjin by the way. "Meng Chong is a sincere child, I personally recruited him into the army, and he has also made a lot of contributions with me stationed in southern Jiangsu!"

Du Yunjin heard him praise his family and smiled at him. "I heard that there is a young general under Rong Shuai who is both wise and brave, and it must be this General Meng Chongmeng. In recent days, it seems that General Meng can indeed afford these praises from Rong Shuai. ”

was praised by Rong Jingcheng and Du Yunjin in succession, but Meng Chong was the second monk who was confused, and he didn't know what medicine they were selling in their gourd.

"Brother and Rong Shuai sold well, but they bore me." Xiao Shaokang shouted, but no one noticed that he still called Du Yunjin the word "brother". Compared with the eldest sister-in-law, compared to Du Xianxian, he really likes the more intimate title of "brother".

Hearing this, Du Yunjin and Rong Jingcheng both smiled dotingly, looking at him as if they were still looking at a child who had not grown up.

"General Meng has followed Rong Shuai for many years, and he must have been well-informed, but did he ever know about the vine armor?"

"Of course I know, there was a description in "Shu Zhi" that the rattan armor is invulnerable, and it does not sink if it is not in the water, if it is not burned, Meng Shu will definitely not be defeated." Although Meng Chong was born in a peasant family and had little literacy, he also began to read all kinds of military books and historical records by Rong Jingcheng's side. I remember this description very clearly because it was so tragic.

"Well said!" Du Yunjin clapped his hands and walked in front of him: "Although the rattan armor has all kinds of benefits, what I am most afraid of is fire attack!" Now I want you to sue the people of Sùyi, this fatal flaw of the vine armor! ”

"What!" Meng Chong stood up with a "Teng", his face flushed. "How could Du Xianfeng do such a traitorous thing to seek glory! If the Yi people knew about this fatal flaw of the rattan armor, wouldn't it be impossible for all my soldiers to be buried in the flames, and they couldn't survive! Meng is not talented, but he can't do such a crime that brings disaster to the country and the people! After saying that, he suddenly knelt down straight towards Rong Jingcheng, and said loudly: "Rong Shuai, Meng Chong is willing to receive a military order, and is willing to lead five thousand soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the Yiren!" ”

"Five thousand soldiers?" Du Yunjin smiled mockingly: "The Yi people are ferocious, as soon as they go ashore, they will be like the rising tide of the sea, how is General Meng going to use these five thousand soldiers and horses to deal with the Yi people?" If we rush blindly, wouldn't we have sacrificed 5,000 soldiers of our army in vain! At that time, how could General Meng face his parents, wives and children who were far away from his hometown with 5,000 soldiers? ”

"I ......" was snatched white by Du Yunjin, and Meng Chong's face turned pale. It's not going to fight, it's not going to be if it's not going to be fighting, so what is he going to do?

"Actually, General Meng doesn't have to worry." After Du Yunjin had done enough of the play, Xiao Shaokang appeared slowly and methodically, he helped Meng Chong up, and persuaded earnestly: "General Meng is willing to take 5,000 soldiers to fight the Yiren, this kind of courage and loyalty is unmatched." Since General Meng is willing to be loyal to the country, it is better to listen to my method of retreating from the enemy. ”

When Meng Chong heard that Xiao Shaokang had a way to retreat from the enemy, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he waited quietly for his next words.

"In order to inform the Yi people about the fatal flaw of the rattan armor, gain the trust of the Yi people, and find the Yi people's nest."

"This ......" Meng Chong kept shaking his head when he heard the front, but when he heard the last sentence, he instantly understood their plan. As the old saying goes, shoot a man before a horse, capture a thief before capture the king, and of course you have to smash his lair to deal with the Yi people, so that they can't get into the water if they go ashore. The Yi people have lived on the island for a long time, and the water is very good, but when they go ashore, they are no match for their iron horses.

"What is it to annihilate some of the Yi people, they flee back to their lair, and it will not be long before they will resurrect and make a comeback, and the people will still be disturbed by them. It's better to do it once and for all, and directly end their lair! Du Yunjin said as he nodded to Meng Chong.

"Meng Chong, you are a native of southern Jiangsu, you have grown up near the water since you were a child, you have a good water nature and loyalty to the country, and you have to be the only one who has such a heavy responsibility." Rong Jingcheng stroked his beard and said to him: "But this trip is very dangerous, once your identity is exposed, not only will your life be guaranteed, but it will also affect the failure of our plan, if you don't want to, Ben Shuai will not force you." ”

"No!" When Meng Chong heard this, he immediately said: "As a man, he should protect his family, and as a soldier, he should protect the country." If I am greedy for life and afraid of death and do not serve the country, then what reason do I have for Meng Chong to live in the world! ”

"Well said!" Xiao Shaokang was also rarely excited, and he patted Meng Chong's shoulder. For the first time, he could face and feel the enthusiasm of the men in the army, which was far more exciting than the battle in the imperial capital!
