Chapter Eighty-Six: A Hoax

With the threat of the army of rogues outside the city, this time Zhao Mincheng was very happy, and soon sent people to transport 30,000 taels of gold, 400 war horses, 900 iron armor, 1,700 leather armor, 1,800 bows and 170,000 arrows to the outside of the south gate of Cangyuan City, not only took out all the property owed to Liu Ji before, but also sent out almost all the property that Liu Ji blackmailed, as long as the number of war horses was less.

As for Cangyuan City, which could only take out 400 war horses, Liu Ji finally agreed very much, and Liu Ji was very satisfied with being able to get so much property from Taishou Zhao Mincheng.

The soldiers and auxiliaries under Liu Ji's command were not afraid of the army of 15,000 rogues outside the east gate of Cangyuan City, and happily transported the gold, war horses, armor, bows and arrows sent by Cangyuan City back to the camp.

Liu Ji is still very honest, after receiving the property sent by Zhao Mincheng, he immediately dispatched hundreds of cavalry, and rushed to the east gate of Cangyuan City with great momentum, and at this time, the army of rogues outside the east gate was still in the camp and did not start to attack the city.

Then there was a dramatic scene, the rogues in the camp outside the east gate of Cangyuan City, seeing hundreds of cavalry under Liu Ji coming to the east gate, immediately blew up, and directly abandoned the camp and fled, but the number of people who escaped was far less than 15,000 people.

On the city wall east of Cangyuan City, the partial general Mu Zhen saw the scene of the rogue fleeing in embarrassment in the distance, and the unhurried appearance of the hundreds of cavalry under Liu Ji, Mu Zhen smiled thoughtfully, he had already seen that the number of rogue was wrong, there would definitely not be fifteen thousand, but Mu Zhen thought about it for a while, looked at the excited subordinates left and right, and decided to rot what he saw in his stomach.

said that there were 15,000 people in the Liukou army, but he Mu Zhen personally told Zhao Mincheng that if Zhao Mincheng knew that he was played by Liu Ji, Zhao Mincheng might have no way to take Liu Ji, but the anger was likely to fall on him Mu Zhen, after all, Mu Zhen was only a subordinate of Zhao Mincheng, and he was not really loyal to Zhao Mincheng and took refuge in the Zhao family in Geshan, he and Zhao Mincheng did not have such a deep affection.

According to Su Lie's idea to Liu Ji, 2,000 soldiers and 1,000 auxiliaries were dispatched, and they changed into the miscellaneous clothes of the Liukou, and then under the leadership of several generals, they went around to the east of Cangyuan City, and played the banner of Zhang Ding, pretending to be Zhang Ding, and the gang of Liukou returned to Cangyuan City.

And let the soldiers pretending to be Liukou enter through the main gate of the Liukou camp, and sneak out through the back door, and then go around to the front door, and so on a few times, so that the defenders of Cangyuan City thought that the Liukou army was 15,000 people.

As Su Lie expected, Zhao Min, the Taishou of Geshan County, immediately panicked when he saw the appearance of the rogue army, not only paid off the remuneration owed to Liu Ji before, but was also blackmailed by Liu Ji again.

After the soldiers who played the role of the Liukou fled in a panic, hundreds of cavalry led by Su Lie, Hua Xiong and other generals rushed into the Liukou camp, and soon after, the Liukou camp was set on fire, and the hundreds of cavalry under Liu Ji then swaggered back to the camp in the south outside Cangyuan City.

Taishou Zhao Mincheng heard that the army of 15,000 Liukou was frightened by Liu Ji's hundreds of cavalry and fled, his brows couldn't help frowning, Zhao Mincheng didn't think that this was a scam, he thought about it, the army of Liukou just fled, if Liu Ji set off for Qianzhou with the team, and the Liukou army came back, what should he do?

Zhao Mincheng pondered for a while, it seems that the most thorough solution has to be the enhancement of the strength of Cangyuan City's own army, and it is necessary to increase the recruitment of young and strong men in the city to join the army, but it takes time to recruit men to join the army and train new soldiers.

And during this time, if he wanted to keep Cangyuan City safe, Zhao Mincheng thought that he had to rely on the young captain, so Zhao Mincheng directly sent the lord Bo He Qi to Liu Ji's camp outside the city, and invited Liu Ji to come to Taishou Mansion for a banquet tonight, nominally Zhao Mincheng wanted to thank Liu Ji for saving Cangyuan City again.

Liu Ji was in the camp with many generals, happily counting the gold, war horses, armor and bows sent by Zhao Mincheng, the Taishou Taishou, when someone came to report that Bo Heqi, the lord of Cangyuan City, asked to see him.

Liu Ji couldn't help but turn his head to Su Lie and asked, "This He Qi came to the camp at this time, could it be that Zhao Taishou noticed the scene we played?" Pai Ho Qi came to Xingshi to ask for sin? ”

Su Lie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Lord, anyway, the gold and other things have already fallen into our hands, even if that Zhao Taishou is aware of the scene we are playing?" Cangyuan City has no strength at all, can ask for this property back, let's rest for the night tonight, and leave Cangyuan City early tomorrow morning, what can that Zhao Taishou do to me? ”

Liu Ji nodded when he heard this and said: "That's the same reason, anyway, the gold, war horses, armor and bows and arrows have already fallen into our hands, and I, Liu Ji, will never return it to that Zhao Taishou!" Invite Master He over and see what that Zhao Taishou wants to do? ”

Soon Bo He Qi, the lord of Cangyuan City, came to Liu Ji's cloth tent, and He Qi said that Zhao Mincheng, the Taishou wanted to invite Liu Ji to a banquet tonight, and Liu Ji immediately politely refused.

Liu Ji has decided to lead the team to set off tomorrow and continue to rush to Qianzhou, I don't want to make extraneous branches tonight, if Zhao Mincheng finds out that he Liu Ji directed and acted in a play, he was angry and set up a Hongmen banquet, and he went to the city to go to the banquet, which would be tantamount to throwing himself into the net.

Of course, Liu Ji didn't believe that Zhao Mincheng had so much courage, after all, there were thousands of Liu Ji's soldiers and horses outside Cangyuan City, if Zhao Mincheng dared to make moves against him, under the leadership of many fierce generals, it would not be a problem for thousands of soldiers and horses to level Cangyuan City.

He Qi saw that Liu Ji refused to go to the banquet as soon as he opened his mouth, and immediately said that Taishou Zhao Mincheng hoped to discuss with Liu Ji about resisting the comeback of the Liukou, and He Qi promised on behalf of Taishou Zhao Mincheng that he would never let Liu Ji help in vain.

Liu Ji was a little hesitant when he heard He Qi say this, after all, it is not easy to encounter a big man like Zhao Mincheng, can he still take advantage of it, Liu Ji glanced at Su Lie.

Then Su Lie walked to Liu Ji's side, attached himself to Liu Ji's ear and said: "Lord, even if that Zhao Taishou sees through our plan, he will not dare to disadvantage the lord, and with the protection of several of our generals, Cangyuan City will not be able to trap the lord, and it will not hurt to enter Cangyuan City again." ”

Liu Ji immediately said to He Qi: "Since Zhao Taishou wants to discuss with me about resisting the Liukou, then Liu Ji must enter the city on time for the banquet tonight." ”
