How could Lin Jiujiu accept her money, thinking that Chen Youwei was also incorruptible, the price of things in Tianxianglou was not cheap, and this side was far away from the capital, so he didn't let Chen Ning buy it.

She hurriedly grabbed Chen Ning's hand and said, "You come with me, I just brought some things for you." ”

Just as he was about to take Chen Ning out, Chen Ning turned around and said to Chen Youwei: "Dad, I forgot to say it." When I went down the mountain, I saw a lot of people in the woods, when did you take people there to train the troops? ”

Yu Wenhao and Chen Youwei's faces changed at the same time.

Chen Ning also frowned: "What's the matter, is there any problem?" ”

Chen Youwei hurriedly shook his head: "It's nothing, you go with your sister-in-law to pick up things, don't take it for nothing, and your father will give you the money when you go back." ”

Chen Ning pursed her lips, but the girlish nature still made her let go of the doubts in her heart and followed Lin Jiujiu away.

As soon as the two left, Yu Wenhao looked at Chen Youwei.

Chen Youwei shook his hand again and again: "General, my soldiers are all in the city, how can I go to that forest." ”

"I didn't say anything about your soldiers." There was a hint of murderous intent in Yu Wenhao's eyes, and those people were likely to answer Liang Kuan.

He could even think that if Liang Kuan succeeded in borrowing troops from Chen Youwei, those people might blend in with Chen Youwei's soldiers, and then take the opportunity to send the things captured from Shuizhai directly to the place where Gong Xiangling was stationed.

Thinking of the letter he sent, Yu Wenhao frowned.

It's been so long now, and the horses in the army are already fast, and the secret guards are all in the water village, so they can't catch up even if they chase at this time.

But when the letter is delivered to Gong Xiangling's hands, it means that Gong Xiangling will guess everything that happened here.

So, every second counts.

Yu Wenhao immediately asked Chen Youwei to send someone to find out how many people were in that forest, and in half a day, the spies came back.

They all underestimated the importance that Gong Xiangling attached to this matter, and there were more than 3,000 people in that forest.

Chen Youwei almost smashed the armrest of the chair: "This is a clear plan to replace Lao Tzu." ”

Yu Wenhao has been calm.

There were more people than he had imagined, and fighting in the woods, the other side was in the dark and in the light, which was very disadvantageous to them. I can only find a way to lure those people out.

Gu Lingkai happened to come back, and when he heard Yu Wenhao say this, he said tentatively: "I'm going to pretend to be Liang Kuan's people and lure them out?" ”

"Nope." Yu Wenhao shook his head.

Gong Xiangling was very cautious, maybe he didn't tell Liang Kuan about his troops in the forest.

If they come to the door, they will be caught in the net.

For a while, the three of them were at a loss.

Lin Jiujiu was taken around the street by Chen Ning, and when he came back, he saw three people pouring tea one by one.

She thought it was funny and asked, "What's wrong with you, you're all worried, what's going on?" ”

Yu Wenhao told the matter again.

Chen Ning's eyes widened, and he dragged Chen Youwei's sleeve and shook it: "Dad, am I considered meritorious?" ”

Chen Youwei couldn't cry or laugh.

Meritorious service can only be said after the matter is over, and Chen Ning, a female doll, can be regarded as meritorious? But......

He glanced at Gu Lingkai.

Chen Youwei is bent on letting Gu Lingkai embark on a career in office, he can see that this person is brave and strategic, if he becomes a general, he must be a fierce general.

It's just that even if he is rehabilitated, his background will make his career not so smooth, but it will be different if he makes great contributions first.

He wanted Gu Lingkai to make meritorious contributions, so he asked Gu Lingkai's opinion vigorously.

Gu Lingkai really can't do anything, he is good at water warfare, and he really can't help it in the forest.

I have to say that Gong Xiangling is really cunning, placing people in the forest, which can not only hide his whereabouts, but also occupy a favorable position when fighting.

"It's easy."

Lin Jiujiu thought of a way when they were discussing.

Yu Wenhao has always known that Lin Jiujiu is resourceful and can surprise people.

Hearing her say this at this time, my eyes also lit up.

"Jiujiu, what do you have in mind?"

Lin Jiujiu smiled: "Just looking at the benefits of the forest, why don't you think about the biggest problem in the forest." ”

The four of them frowned at the same time, and Chen Ning couldn't wait to say, "Sister-in-law, don't sell Guanzi." ”

"The weather is dry and dry, and this forest is full of trees, so it is naturally the easiest to catch fire."

Chen Ning covered his mouth: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about." That's 3,000 people, no matter what, they are all people from the Daqing Dynasty, could it be that they were burned to death? ”

Chen Youwei also shook his head: "It's really not good, the forest is connected to the mountain and the village, if it really catches fire, it will cause huge losses to the surrounding people." ”

Yu Wenhao believed Lin Jiujiu, and he smiled helplessly: "Jiujiu, don't scare everyone, what is the solution?" ”

Lin Jiujiu took out a paper bag from his pocket, and then took out a fire fold and lit it.

When the smoke came out, Chen Ning, who was closest to him, immediately burst into tears.

Lin Jiujiu stepped on the fire and asked Chen Ning, "Ning'er, how is it?" ”

"Sister-in-law, what is this?" Chen Ning felt that he couldn't stop his tears at all, and he couldn't wait to run away.

"I've been bored lately and made this thing, as long as we ignite it at the upwind, it will definitely make them run out consciously.

The forest is so big, although it can hide their whereabouts, but on the other hand, it hinders their vision, and it is estimated that they will not even know where they are running by then. ”

As long as you do a good job of trapping and laying an ambush, when the time comes, it will be a turtle in an urn, not to mention 3,000 people, even 30,000 people will not be able to escape.

"The soldiers are not bloody, what a good move." Gu Lingkai praised.

Although this approach is not so kind, it is like this on the battlefield, it is about resourcefulness.

Not to mention, Lin Jiujiu's idea is also good for those people in the forest, as long as they surrender, they naturally have no worries about their lives.

"I'll leave this matter to Brother Gu." Yu Wenhao glanced at Gu Lingkai meaningfully.

Gu Lingkai was moved in his heart, knowing that Yu Wenhao was giving him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Speaking of which, it is more difficult for military generals to be promoted than civilian officials, especially during the Taiping period, military merits are not easy to earn.

If he makes this feat, it will be equivalent to paving the way for him to rise to the top.

Chen Youwei also patted him on the shoulder: "Little brother, I will send you five thousand people, you take them with you, and make meritorious contributions!" ”

Gu Lingkai shook his head: "The people in Shuizhai are already on the way, since there is this opportunity, I want to ......" He glanced at Yu Wenhao, feeling that his requirements were a little difficult.

Yu Wenhao was generous to him, but if he really used someone from Shuizhai, it would be tantamount to robbing Chen Youwei of his credit.

He was a little embarrassed, but if he was alone and didn't care about those people in Shuizhai, it was not his intention.

Chen Youwei is thick and fine, how can he not know what Gu Lingkai thinks.

In his opinion, his vision is really good, this young man is affectionate and righteous, but he is much better than those who have forgotten their surname after they have soared.

"Don't worry about letting them come, General Ben has accepted them."
