"This thing can't be fake, right?" Looking at the golden arrow on Li Jing's case, Chen Fuliang was still a little worried, and questioned: "With such an important token, how dare Shibi Khan give it to Chai Shao such an outsider?" That's too careless, isn't it? Shibi Khan is so careless? ”

"Don't worry, this thing can't be faked, judging from Chai Shao's introduction, the Shibi Thief Chief didn't have time to fake it at that time." Li Jing said casually while drawing the Turkic characters of the Golden Arrow Token: "For Shibi Khan, Ambassador Li and Chai Shao are not outsiders, and the enmity between you and Chai Shao is known to everyone in the world, and the enemy of the enemy is the best friend, and the Shibi Thief Chief also understands this truth." ”

"And." Li Jing added: "The Shibi thief chief is indeed a little careless in this matter, but his carelessness this time is also explained, Chai Shao and Mao Fugui are very clear, the Shibi thief chief handed over this golden arrow to Chai Shao at the same time, the Turkic army is still in the camp and Tuoba Hu soldiers are still confronting, conflict may break out at any time, although you led the army to retreat but did not go far, it is very likely to turn around and come back, in such a situation of internal and external troubles, anyone who changes will make mistakes because of nervousness, Shibi thief chief's personality is originally more irritable, It is not surprising to make such a mistake. ”

"That's right, that's right." Yuan Tiangang, Wei Zheng, Yin Shishi and the others nodded together, and echoed: "The spirit is too tense and the pressure is too great, even our handsome will lose control, not to mention the thief chief?" ”

Chen Fuliang's face turned red again, and he said angrily: "Why do you keep mentioning that incident? Yuan Tiangang, before dark, you have to forge at least ten of these fake golden arrows for me, and you must do exactly the same, so that the enemy can't distinguish between the real and the fake. Also, keep an eye on those craftsmen and don't let them take advantage of my gold! ”

It was rare to see Chen Fuliang's annoyed and embarrassed appearance, Wei Zheng and Yin Shishi inevitably laughed loudly, Yuan Tiangang also smiled and agreed, and also patted his chest to promise to complete the task - with the poor level of craftsmanship of the Turks, Yuan Tiangang, who can even make astronomical instruments, wants to imitate their handicrafts is of course a piece of cake, and then immediately after, after Li Jing carefully depicted the Turkic characters on the golden arrow token, Yuan Tiangang immediately took the pattern and the golden arrow to the Houying construction site, and personally supervised the craftsmen of the army to forge the golden arrow.

Yuan Tiangang left, Chen Fuliang also returned to his handsome position, first let the soldiers have strong tea to refresh themselves, and then said to a few powerful accomplices: "Okay, we have achieved the goal of dividing the Turkic army, forcing the Tuanhu soldiers to leave the Turkic camp, Ashina Simo was also successfully killed by us, Ambassador Li won the trust of the Shibi thief chieftain, and my enemy's brother-in-law also accidentally got the golden arrow of the herald of the Turkic Khan's tent, and all kinds of situations are very beneficial to us, Then there is the final question of how to defeat the Turks before the day after tomorrow. If you have any good ideas, please speak up. ”

"Great Shuai, the last general thinks that he will take advantage of the trust of the Shibi Thief Chief in Ambassador Li, use Ambassador Li's reputation to deceive the enemy, lure the Turks to reveal their flaws, and then take the opportunity to break them." The Yin Master was the first to speak.

"How to use it? And how to deceive the enemy? What kind of flaw seduced the Turks? Chen Yingliang asked.

"It's ......." The Yin World Master hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "The Great Marshal forgives the sin, the last general is not very good at the way of conspiracy and deceit, but he just thinks that he should do this, but he doesn't know how to do it. ”

Chen Yingliang was a little disappointed, but he didn't blame the Yin Shi Shi - the Yin Shi Shi's character was ashamed of his surname, he was too bold and upright, and he was really not very good at conspiracy and trickery, and Chen Yingliang certainly wouldn't be too strong for him. Wei Zheng next to him was afraid of the embarrassment of the Yin Shishi, and hurriedly said: "Dashuai, Yin Taishou's thinking is very right, we should follow his thinking to arrange tactics, as for how to start, I think we should use Ambassador Li's relationship to let the Turks move first." ”

"Let the Turks move first?" Chen Fuliang, who didn't sleep last night, cheered up some spirits.

"Yes, let's get the Turks moving." Wei Zheng did have some unique insights in terms of tactics, explaining: "If the Turks retreat into the camp, if we only defend and do not fight, we will not only face tough battles, but also all kinds of tricks and tricks, only by letting the Turks move, leaving the protection of the camp and our field warfare, we can take advantage of all kinds of favorable conditions in mobile warfare and find opportunities to break the main Turkic forces in one fell swoop." ”

"As for how to get the Turks moving." Wei Zheng added: "The best way is to let the Turks see the hope of victory, and make the Turks feel that they can defeat us or even destroy us as long as they move, so that the Shibi Thief Chief and the Turkic Fangs will be greedy and take the risk of leading the army to battle, otherwise, the ordinary bait may not be tempted by the Shibi Thief Chieftain." ”

"Yes, good direction, good bait." Chen Yingliang nodded, and laughed at himself: "Because I owe it, I made a three-day appointment with the Shibi Thief Chief, although it temporarily stabilized the Shibi Thief Chief, but it was too stable, and if I want the Shibi Thief Chief to move within these three days, it is indeed the only way for the Shibi Thief Chief to see the hope of defeating us." ”

After that, Chen Yingliang smiled, then turned to Li Jing next to him and said: "Li Juncheng, now that you have the idea, the direction and bait you have, the next thing is how to set up the bait, you are our brainstorm, and it depends on you how to do it." How's it going, do you think of any good way? ”

"The handsome man has a good reputation, in fact, you are the real brain of our Qinwang army, and the subordinate is just helping you as a staff officer." Li Jing said modestly, and said: "Regarding the bait and trap, Xia Guan only has some ideas in his heart, but he hasn't found a clue yet, and he can't think of what to do for a while. When it comes to being handsome, you are resourceful, I don't know if you have any good solutions? ”

"I ask you, why do you ask me?" Chen Yingliang smiled again, and then said: "I haven't thought about the specific tactics yet, but there is one thing I really want to do - I have personally confirmed outside the Turkic camp that in order to lure our Yanmen defenders to abandon the city and break through, the Turkic army deliberately exposed a road in the northwest of the camp, which can lead to the north gate of Yanmen City, or to the Xicheng Pass northwest of Yanmen. ”

"I would like to make some articles on this road, so that Ambassador Li can tell the chief of the thieves, saying that in order to prevent accidents, I am going to send an army to Yanmen City by that road to replenish food and soldiers for the defenders of Yanmen, but in fact, I will make a surprise attack on Xicheng Pass, take Xicheng and cut off the Turkic retreat, block the Turkic army south of Xicheng Pass, and then completely annihilate the Turks."

"Dashuai, do you still want to completely annihilate the Turks?" The Yin Shishi was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Our strength is not as good as the Turkic army, you not only want to divide your troops to open up the battlefield of the partial division, but also want to completely annihilate the Turks?" This appetite and strength are too different, right? ”

"If there is only a glimmer of hope, I will fight for it with all my might." Chen Yingliang said in a deep voice: "Regarding this partial division of the surprise attack on Xicheng Pass, we don't have to think about their safety and whether they can complete the task during the arrangement of the plan, my descendants have a team that can be relied on, I will let them go." Even if they can't take the Xicheng Pass, they can take advantage of the narrow road south of the Yanmen Pass to withstand the north-south attack from the Xicheng Pass and the Turkic camps, giving us time to break the enemy and annihilate a large number of enemies. ”

"There is still such a capable army under the commander's account?" Yin Shi Daqi, seeing that Chen Yingliang and Wei Zheng both nodded confidently, Yin Shi Shi Shi said again: "But Dashuai, don't forget, our scouts have confirmed that the Tuan Hu soldiers have moved to the south of the West Pass, or they are still camping on the road, and they are guarding the narrow intersection, your descendant team can fight again, if you encounter the Tuan Hu soldiers guarding the intersection, your descendants can't seize the advantageous terrain, how can they withstand the onslaught of the Turkic army from all directions?" ”

Chen Yingliang frowned a little, and was indeed a little worried about this problem, but Li Jing next to him suddenly said: "Marshal, this problem is not hopeless to solve, but not now, how to get those Tuan Hu soldiers to leave the favorable terrain suitable for holding, we can improvise, first determine the response tactics of the Turkic army, and then say, it is a partial division battlefield, it doesn't matter, let's consider the big problem of dealing with the main Turkic force first." ”

After pointing out the relationship between the primary and secondary points, Li Jing said again: "Marshal, just now you mentioned that you pretended to reinforce Yanmen City, but actually attacked Xicheng Pass, and the lower officials felt that this was our opportunity to break the enemy. Xia Guan mentioned yì, we might as well really send an army to the north gate of Yanmen, pretend to enter the city for reinforcements, lure the Turks to send a large number of troops to ambush our reinforcements, and immediately continue to advance eastward after being attacked, fleeing to the open area east of Yanmen, luring the Turkic army to pursue more troops and expose more flaws. ”

"Turning the tiger away from the mountain?" Chen Fu's conscience sank, and he hurriedly said: "But after this army went east, it lost contact with us, and once the situation changed, it would be difficult for us to even want to rescue." ”

"The marshal is not confident that we will win?" Li Jing smiled and said: "We not only have to arrange this army to move the tiger away from the mountain, but also to arrange another army to continue to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, after our front army was ambushed by the Turks, the second army pretended to rescue, and then the middle Turkic ambush, and then lured more Turkic troops to the west, and then the third army pretended to rush to the rescue, and then attracted the Turks to divide the troops to fight." If this is not enough, we can also arrange a feint on the other side of the Hutuo River, and then lure the Turks to open up a battlefield on the east bank of the Hutuo River, so as to further disperse the Turkic forces. As a result, there are not many armies left in the Turkic camps that can fight....... ”

"Wait!" Chen Yingliang hurriedly interrupted Li Jing's words, pinched his fingers and calculated: "In this way, wouldn't we have opened up four battlefields?" Isn't this too much of a division of troops? ”

"Five battlefields." Li Jing corrected: "The fifth battlefield is the main battlefield, and it is also the battlefield where our main force and the main Turkic force will fight a decisive battle!" If you insist on a surprise attack on Xicheng Pass, it will be six battlefields. ”

"It's too much!" No matter how bold Chen Yingliang was, he was also taken aback by Li Jing's tactic, and quickly shook his head and said: "No, the division of troops is too much, and it is too chaotic, if we want to pretend to lure the enemy, we must fight at night, and open up so many battlefields in the middle of the night, it will definitely be so chaotic that I can't command it at all." ”

Yin Shishi and Wei Zheng nodded their heads, saying that they didn't dare to agree with Li Jing's crazy tactics, but Li Jing laughed even more happily, and said with a smile: "Dashuai, isn't it better to mess up?" Have you forgotten the golden arrows of the Turkic Khake? When the battlefield was in turmoil, our envoy rushed to the Turkic army in the midst of the battle with a forged golden arrow of the Turkic Khan's tent, pretending to claim that the Shibi Thief Chieftain was in danger and asked them to return to the army immediately to rescue. ”

Chen Fuliang was stunned for a moment, and such a scene also appeared in his mind - the Sui army of Zhulu was fighting a bloody battle with the Turks, the envoy of the self-army ordered the Turkic army to retreat immediately with golden arrows, and the retreating army of the Zhulu Turkic army was in great confusion, and the soldiers of the Sui army took the opportunity to chase and fight, slashing and slashing the buttocks of the Turkic army, aggravating the chaos of the Turkic army. The panicked Turkic army was slaughtered to the point of crying wolf, the corpses were piled up like a mountain, and the severed limbs and wreckage were spread all over the surface of the Hutuo River, which also stained the river red............

Fantasizing about these wonderful pictures, Chen Fuliang swallowed heavily, tried to calm himself down, and then said, "What if the Golden Arrow Token is discovered by the Turks? Aren't we in danger at every troop division? ”

"Only the first way is dangerous!" Li Jing replied categorically: "Marshal, you have to believe in the formation and combat ability of our Great Sui soldiers, as long as we fight in formation, we will definitely be able to withstand the crazy attack of the Turkic army and return safely after killing the Turks, so even if the Golden Arrow Token does not receive the effect, we will not have a big loss." As for the first way to lure the army, you can also flee to Fanzhi with all your strength, and go to join the old general Xue Shixiong, who is coming from the direction of Lingqiu day and night, and the possibility of the whole army being wiped out is not great! ”

Considering that he still had a killer weapon in his hand that could turn the situation around, Chen Fuliang gradually began to waver, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said: "There is another question, our main battlefield, after luring the Turkic four ways to divide the army, then it should be our main force to attack and directly smash the Turkic army's sweat tent army, right?" Even if there are not many remaining Turkic troops, there are still camps to defend, how can we break through the Turkic camps in a short period of time and enter the Chinese camp of the Turks? ”

"It seems that the marshal has forgotten Ambassador Li again." Li Jing smiled lightly: "With Ambassador Li here, do we still need to work hard to tackle tough problems?" Wouldn't it be better to let the Shibi Thief Chief personally bring the rest of the army to his death? ”

"How?" Chen Yingliang said in a deep voice.

"It's simple." Li Jing replied with a smile: "Send two people to pretend to be Ambassador Li's envoy to inform the Shibi Thief Chieftain, and say that the old general Qu Tutong and Gujun Cheng are about to come with follow-up reinforcements, and after joining us, our army will reach more than 200,000, so Dashuai, you plan to stand on the wall and wait for the reinforcements to arrive before launching an attack, but I was worried about the situation in Yanmen City and decided to send additional defenders to Yanmen City, so that the Shibi Thief Chief felt that if you don't defeat you quickly, there will be no chance, and then instead of Ambassador Li, you will promise to defect in battle, The Thief Chief will surely come to you with the rest of his army for a decisive battle. ”

Li Jing said very easily, but Chen Yingliang's face was extremely solemn when he heard it, and the Yin Shishi was also very worried, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Dashuai, it's too risky, with such a division of troops, as long as we suddenly collapse along the way, it is possible that the whole line will collapse, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"There will be no danger." Chen Yingliang shook his head, and Yan said: "Yin Taishou, don't worry, even if the Golden Arrow Token is invalid, except for the first way, the loss will definitely be greater, and the rest of the roads will not be in danger, and I will have a way to reverse the situation at that time." It's just that....... ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yingliang hesitated for a moment before he said, "Just doing this, it does take some risks of huge casualties, so I have to think about it carefully." ”

"Dashuai, you can think about it carefully, we still have time." Li Jing nodded, and said: "But there is one thing you must make arrangements for, you have to arrange the envoy to the Turkic camp this time, tell him what to say and do when he sees the chief of the Shibi thief, and immediately send an envoy to the enemy camp after dark." ”

"So you can have a good night's rest tonight." Li Jing's tone brought something inexplicable, and said gently: "You are too tired, these days, you only sleep for one or two hours a day, and you didn't sleep all night last night, tomorrow is the last day of the decisive battle agreed between you and the Shibi Thief Chief, don't you want to take a rest, and the energy you have to command the battle?" Don't think you're young and you don't have a body. ”

Chen Yingliang, who was concentrating on the tactical plan, nodded casually, not paying attention to Li Jing's strange tone at all, and said casually: "Who is the envoy who is going to contact the Turks on behalf of Ambassador Li?" Send Chai Shao again? ”

"The envoy of this mission is too meticulous, and Chai Gongzi's temper is too violent, which is not suitable." Li Jing smiled and said: "It is a matter of such a major matter as Ambassador Li's defection, this time we must send an envoy who is absolutely weighty, and I propose to send Ambassador Li's second son, Li Shimin, to go, he is enough for this weight." ”

"Li Shimin?" Chen Fuliang subconsciously shivered and screamed.

"Yes, only by sending Ambassador Li's son can the Thief Chief fully believe in Ambassador Li's sincerity." Li Jing replied with a smile: "Also, in order not to let Li Ergongzi be as unlucky as Chai Gongzi and almost killed by the scouts of the Turkic army, and in order to facilitate the negotiation between Li Ergongzi and Shibi Thief Chieftain, Dashuai You must send another interpreter to accompany Li Ergongzi - Xiaguan Mao recommended himself and wanted to serve as this interpreter." ”

"No way!" The Yin World Master jumped up and said loudly, "You can't go! ”

"You can't go!" Chen Fuliang also subconsciously raised his head and flatly refused: "It's too risky, I can't let you take this risk!" ”

Seeing Chen Yingliang's reaction, Li Jing showed some smiles—a smile of relief, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be no danger, and it is impossible for the thief chief to see through Ambassador Li's fraudulent surrender." Another reason why Xia Guan volunteered was that he wanted to test the use of the Tuoba Hu soldiers by the Shibi Thief Chief for you, and grasp the movements of the Tuoba Hu soldiers, so that you could have a chance to achieve your long-cherished wish and block the Turks south of Xicheng Pass. ”

Chen Yingliang was stunned for a moment, saying that he didn't expect that Li Jing would be willing to take such a risk in order to help him achieve his wish. The Yin World Master over there jumped up and said viciously, "No! Li Juncheng, you must not go! I won't hide it from you, I don't believe you, you and Li Yuan's family are too close! I'm worried that you will collude with Li Yuan's family and betray our Qinwang army! ”

"Yin Taishou, I know you don't believe me, but I don't trust that Second Master Li even more!" Li Jing, who had always maintained a cordial smile, suddenly changed his solemn face, and Yan said: "After these days of contact, I found that Li Ergongzi is too smart, and his intelligence is better than his father's, such a handsome person can be used, but it is more guarded!" I don't worry about sending someone to keep an eye on him, and I don't worry about sending other interpreters to keep an eye on him, only if I personally go to keep an eye on him, I dare to rest assured of him! ”

Glancing at the stammering Yin World Master, Li Jing smiled again and said, "Yin Taishou, I know you have eyeliner staring at Ambassador Li, you should always find something, right?" If there is any major matter or difficulty in the army, Ambassador Li is not consulting with his eldest son, General Li Jiancheng, but with his second son, can you rest assured that such a person is not going to be discussed? ”

Yin Shishi was even more silent, and only after a while did he say: "Li Juncheng, I hope you can answer a question truthfully, why are you so close to Ambassador Li's family?" ”

This time Li Jing was silent, and then Li Jing couldn't help but look at Chen Fuliang, just as Chen Fuliang also looked up at Li Jing, his eyes intersected, Chen Fuliang found that there were some indescribable things in Li Jing's eyes, and saw Li Jing twist his face away, Chen Yingliang also asked: "Li Juncheng, this is also the question I have always wanted to ask you, why are you so close to Ambassador Li's family, but you are helping me everywhere, what is this for?" ”

"If I told you the truth, you wouldn't let me take the risk." Li Jing sighed lightly in his heart, and then said, "Dashuai, you should have heard of the left and right sources, right?" You are now the commander of the Qinwang Alliance, and you have the power of life and death over the lower officials, and the lower officials will of course serve you diligently. Ambassador Li is a relative of the emperor and one of the eight major clans of Guanlong, I am his direct subordinate, and I have been eating wind and drinking sand in Mayi for 11 years, so I have to hurry up and get closer to him if I have the opportunity? ”

"Sure enough." Chen Fuliang finally didn't believe in love anymore, and after sighing lightly, Chen Fuliang nodded and said: "Li Juncheng doesn't have to feel guilty, this kind of thing is so common in officialdom that it can't be more ordinary, and I've done it too." I believe in your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Court, and since you are determined to take this risk, I will not stop you, and when you are done, I will definitely show your merits to the Imperial Court and His Majesty. ”

Li Jing nodded with a smile, Chen Fuliang sighed lightly and said that it is indeed difficult for Lao Tzu to recruit a genius like Li Jing now, and then suddenly woke up, and suddenly said angrily: "Li Juncheng, you are too good at fooling people, I haven't thought about whether to adopt your risky tactics, why have you fooled me into promising you and Li Ergongzi to be envoys?" Isn't that forcing me to adopt your tactics? ”。”

"Li Shimin?" Chen Fuliang subconsciously shivered and screamed.

"Yes, only by sending Ambassador Li's son can the Thief Chief fully believe in Ambassador Li's sincerity." Li Jing replied with a smile: "Also, in order not to let Li Ergongzi be as unlucky as Chai Gongzi and almost killed by the scouts of the Turkic army, and in order to facilitate the negotiation between Li Ergongzi and Shibi Thief Chieftain, Dashuai You must send another interpreter to accompany Li Ergongzi - Xiaguan Mao recommended himself and wanted to serve as this interpreter." ”
