Chapter 465: Palm
"I put the robes of the two countries of Dengyan and Fufeng first, just because these two countries are the weakest, and the assumed reinforcements can be sent the least. Later, I released the emblems of the four kingdoms of Changyun, Xili, Laiqiu, and Mengshe. This time, there were not only battle robes, but also military flags and a small number of blades, as well as leftovers of dry food with unique flavors eaten by various nations and ethnic groups. These things are not known to others, but my uncle must know. The more he learned about the affairs of the nations, the more convinced he was that forces with foreign aid were gathering in secret. According to his thoughts, he will definitely speculate that the Holy Lord is now pinned down by Wenlan's Imuran army in the Hanjiang River, and he does not have the strength to lead troops to fight back, and the only way to pacify the imperial capital quickly and without spending Cangwu's own troops is to borrow troops from the states. Moreover, the imperial capital is strong and difficult to attack, so he must wonder if there are so many small countries that have quietly sent troops into the city to break the war from the inside out. ”
"But...... What if your uncle saw through that someone had made a few fake robes and had no actual troops, and was trying to set up a suspicious formation? Cao Xiwen thought for a moment.
Ye Yin patted him on the head and exclaimed: "Xi Wen, I didn't expect you to have a bright brain, you can think of this section, but it's because you heard my brother say this to understand, right?" ”
Xu Fu laughed and said: "That's not necessarily, maybe this little brother is as smart as my old Xu, and he also thought of this?" I heard about it and asked about it. Bachelor Su explained it like this: Dengyan and Fufeng were done by the Eagle Tail Girl alone, and the next four countries needed more manpower, so the ten Ryuka masters brought by the Eagle Tail Girl sneaked into the city together, and they did a good job. Next, this Ye Shangshu will definitely wonder if there is only one in the battle robe, this time, let me send more than a hundred people to sneak into the city wearing the robes of Shilang, Fengqi, Zhu Li, and Shenyang. ”
"More than a hundred?! How do you sneak in? The people of Liuxia can fly the eaves and walk the wall, but the soldiers under your command don't know the art of the five elements, how can they come and go without a trace? Cao Xiwen said.
Su Xiaochen said: "When the successive masters of the Mu Yun clan built the imperial capital, they dug a lot of secret passages leading from outside the city to the city. These passages are scattered throughout the city, some for a few people to escape, others for dozens or hundreds of people to lurk. These secret passages are so secret that they are not easily noticed. My uncle had heard of the secret passage but never knew the details, so it was a great opportunity to know a little about it. I asked General Xu to send someone out of the secret passage, take off his battle robe and return the same way. When my uncle saw the large increase in the number of battle robes, he was naturally suspicious, and the movements of the hundred people would definitely be seen by Zheng Lun, who was patrolling the city. As long as they saw people, they naturally dispelled the doubts in my uncle's heart that he only saw the battle robe and no people. ”
"That's why they think that soldiers from all over the world have really mixed into the city!" Cao Xiwen suddenly realized.
"Of course, that's not enough. In my uncle's mind, he is still in the stage of half-belief, so he needs to use some more tricks. ”
"How do you use it?"
Xu Fu grabbed the conversation and said proudly: "This time, I want to personally lead five hundred people into the secret passage and suddenly appear in the city, and I am also wearing the robes of the Hun Rong Country!" I had a big fight with that Zheng Lun! ”
Ye Yinqi said: "Why do you have to be the battle robe of the Hun Rong Country? ”
Su Xiaochen said: "Because the national strength of the Hun Rong country is stronger than that of the previous countries, and there are more soldiers, there are soldiers from the Hun Rong country and Zheng Lun facing each other, and the impact on my uncle's heart must be not small." The most important thing is that Hun Rong has always liked to fight with a mask, so that General Xu and his soldiers in disguise are not easy to see their flaws. ”
Cao Xiwen couldn't help but shout: "But there are only five hundred people, and it is easy to enter the city, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the city." My father said that there are 20,000 dragon scale troops in the imperial capital. If this happens, how can it be defeated? ”
Su Xiaochen nodded and said, "It's true that the Dragon Scale Army has 20,000 people, but they are all distributed throughout the imperial capital, and the imperial capital is so big, they can't cover everything. Eagle Tail has long found out that Zheng Lun only brings 500 to 1,000 people to patrol the city every day, so even if he encounters street fighting, as long as he does not fall in love with the battle, he will not be unable to escape. ”
"But what if they escaped, they followed them, and they discovered the secret passage?"
Xu Fu drank a cup and laughed: "I want them to catch up, I want them to discover the secret passage!" ”
"Why is that?"
Su Xiaochen explained: "Soon after General Xu's battle, he pretended to be defeated according to his plan and retreated into the secret passage. Zheng Lun then discovered the secret passage as well. The secret passage is too narrow, and it is useless to have a lot of people. On that day, he could only send a maximum of 500 soldiers to follow behind. Where did he expect that General Xu escaped from the secret passage with his front foot and blew up the secret passage entrance at the exit with his back foot, which damaged a lot of Zheng Lun's troops and made him suffer a dumb loss. ”
Eagle Tail also smiled beside him: "Master Su is really a good intention, then Zheng Lun has suffered a loss, so he will naturally report the matter of the secret passage to Ye Shangshu truthfully, and in this way, the illusion that the countries have lurked into the imperial capital through the secret passage has become the 'truth'." ”
"Mom, you can figure it out!" Cao Xiwen sighed: "Then now your uncle must believe that various countries have sent reinforcements to infiltrate the imperial capital together, right?" ”
"Nope." Su Xiaochen shook his head and said, "My uncle's mind is far more detailed than you think, and it is not enough to get to this point." However, the more thoughtful people are, the easier it is to be fooled sometimes. So I made a move for him. ”
"What is it?"
Su Xiaochen opened his mouth and recited: "Dengyan, Fufeng, Shilang, Mengshe, Fengqi, Zhuli, Changyun, Shenyang, Xili, Thoyang, Hun Rong, Wuqiong, Yuexi, Jingwu, Wuzhi, Chili, Laiqiu, Dasha, the emblems of these eighteen countries were put into the Wanhua Imperial Capital by me in turn, and this order has meaning." ”
"Isn't it in order from weak to strong?"
"Yes, but not only." Su Xiaochen smiled and said: "It only takes five days to travel from Dengyan and Fufeng to the imperial capital, Changyun, Xili, Laiqiu and Mengshe need seven days, and the remaining small countries need ......."
"Oh, I see...... It's arranged according to the distance of the road! ”
"That's right! My uncle was so careful that even if he didn't notice it at first, he would have figured out the connection later, and he would have discovered that reinforcements from the Eighteen Kingdoms were lurking in the Imperial Capital in the order of distance. In this way, he will be completely convinced that this must be the saint who has sent eighteen secret letters to the neighboring states in a row, intending to use troops to encircle and suppress them! ”
Cao Xiwen was dumbfounded when he heard this, thinking that this scholar's mind really couldn't be touched, if it was replaced by himself, he was afraid that he wouldn't even know how to die. He whispered to Ye Yin: "I really don't know which woman in the world would dare to marry your brother." ”
Ye Yin smiled: "Isn't it." I don't dare, if I had to choose, I would definitely choose a stupid one. ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Cao Xiwen was secretly worried, and I don't know if she thinks I'm stupid......
Eagle Tail couldn't help but ask on the side: "Master Su, there is something unknown about the slave maid. It stands to reason that the situation is urgent, and since there is a suspicion of reinforcements from various countries, wouldn't it be better to send some robes in every day, why is it always every other day? ”
Su Xiaochen raised the wine jug and poured a glass for the eagle tail, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's still because of you." When you entered Qinghuai Villa, you heard that the matter of patrolling the city was Chen Qi and Zheng Lun's one day, so I calculated it and only put the matter of sending the emblem when Zheng Lun was patrolling the city. In this way, my uncle will be suspicious of Chen Qi, thinking that he is secretly colluding with the enemy army, and even suspects that he has already put a lot of enemy troops into the city on the day of his patrol of the city! ”
"It turned out to be a divisive plan...... But the slave maid was thinking, if Ye Shangshu was really as perceptive as Master Su said, would it make people feel that there were traces? Oh, the slave just said it casually, and didn't mean to question Master Su. ”
"Eagletail, I think you're very perceptive, and you've even taken this into account." Su Xiaochen clapped his hands and smiled: "Yes, these days, I have been doing things every time, and I will rest every order." While my uncle was suspicious, he also suspected that someone was deliberately distant. Therefore, tomorrow is the day of the order, and it is also the day of Chen Qi's tour of the city, I want you to work hard again, go into the city alone to make some noise, and let Chen Qi bump into it. ”
Washio thought for a moment and asked, "It's not difficult to make some noise, but I'm the only one in the city, so it's too small." ”
"If there is too much movement, it is difficult to get out, and it is not natural if there is no movement. When my uncle was suspicious of Chen Qi, he deliberately gave Chen Qi a little movement, which would make my uncle feel that Chen Qi was covering up and clearing his suspicion. But judging from the results, Chen Qi didn't catch anyone again, and he didn't even have a chance to interrogate to extract a confession, so my uncle would suspect that Chen Qi was trying to deliberately sell a flaw to prove his innocence. So the small movement is just right. ”
"I see...... The slave understood. Eagle Tail came to his senses, and couldn't help but admire the Master Su in front of him again, thinking that he was worthy of being a man that even the Ming Emperor was willing to fall into, and it was really a little strange.
Xu Fu couldn't help but ask, "Then what should we ...... next?" ”
"Wait." Su Xiaochen looked at the bright moon outside the tent, and said confidently: "If my estimate is right, within three days, the imperial capital will inevitably change, we just need to wait and see, and just sit back and reap the profits." ”
Xu Fu asked again: "Actually, I still don't understand a little bit about Old Xu, since the eagle-tailed girl has strong skills and can sneak into Qinghuai Villa, why not assassinate Ye Zhiqiu in one fell swoop, then won't the rebels be leaderless and naturally disperse?" ”
Su Xiaochen shook his head and said: "Chen Qi and Zheng Lun are both iron-blooded people, without my uncle to reconcile them, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do something to burn jade, and it is impossible to say how many people will be slaughtered at that time." I thought hard about how to break the city, and the most bitter point was not how to break the city, but how to break the city and keep the people at the same time. General Xu, for the sake of the people of the imperial capital, we must be patient. ”
