Chapter 135: Bait with Body

Lan Jing'an waited for everyone to arrive in the main hall of the General's Mansion, and first introduced Ning Wei briefly. Everyone was not so surprised to see that this masked man with his right eye was the person who accompanied Da Yong in the camp yesterday and was with Da Si Ming. Lan Jing'an asked Ning Wei to explain his plan in detail, and then asked Ning Wei to go to the side hall to rest first.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Ning Wei's strategy, such a plan is good, but it is too risky for the great priest. This is tantamount to using the great priest's order as bait, trying to exchange for a short period of peace in Xiangyang.

Pang Tu was the first to speak: "I don't agree. The Great Secretary ordered you not to believe this Ning Wei. He hasn't been in the army, so who knows if it's a bad idea. If you're going to use it, I'll bait. ”

Lan Jing'an knew that he meant well: "Thank you General Pang for your kindness, but I'm afraid I have to go in person this time." I've been thinking about this plan for a while, and there should be no problem. The biggest risk is that I get caught, but burning down the dockyard should be achievable. As long as the dock can be burned, Xiangyang can be kept safe for some time to come. ”

She took a deep breath and continued, "Other reinforcements from Jingzhou will arrive in four days. On behalf of the marshal, I have signed a truce with the Xia State, and General Jiang Shaoheng Jiang's army will arrive in Jingzhou from Yizhou in a month to support Xiangyang. So if I have any eventuality, you need to remember the following. ”

"First, all military affairs in Jingzhou were under the command of General Pang before General Jiang arrived or before General Lu woke up, and Captain Sun was in charge. Second, all government affairs in Jingzhou were handed over to Zhang Changshi to manage. Third, before the siege of Xiangyang is solved, no one will go out of the city to rescue me or avenge me. ”

"This is an order, not a discussion, do you hear me clearly?"

Everyone was stunned by Lan Jing'an's explanation, this was the first time that everyone knew that the original Da Si Ming had signed a truce agreement with Xia Guo without anyone knowing, and transferred General Jiang's army to help Xiangyang. The efforts made by the Great Secretary for Xiangyang were far beyond their imagination.

Lan Jing'an waved his hand, and Bi Luan handed the tray in his hand to Pang Tu. Lan Jing'an said solemnly: "General Pang, now I entrust all the Jingzhou Tiger Talismans to you. When I attack the camp tonight, please sit in Xiangyang. If I can't come back, I hope you can lead the Xiangyang cadres to keep Xiangyang and Jingzhou. I have a lot to discuss with Captain Sun and Zhang Changshi. ”

Pang Tu held the tray containing tiger talismans, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He once almost fell for the tricks of these tiger talismans, and after General Lu fell into a coma, he was embarrassed everywhere. But now, the Great Secretary ordered them to himself, and asked him to protect the safety of Xiangyang and even Jingzhou.

He nodded heavily: "Da Si Ming, I will keep these tiger talismans for you for a short time, patrol Xiangyang at night, and only hope that you will return with a great victory in a few hours." ”

Lan Jing'an ordered Captain Kong, Zhang Xun and Sun Wei from Changshui to come out, and asked the three of them to prepare the ships according to Ning Wei's plan, the sooner the better. The boat that started the fire could be requisitioned from the fishing boat, provided that it was compensated in full. At the same time, the Dayong flags collected from today's inventory of the battlefield were planted on these ships.

The team that burned the dock was led by Captain Changshui. Sun Wei was responsible for receiving Lan Jing'an, who repeatedly ordered him not to go ashore in danger, so as to ensure that she had a ship to retreat from when she retreated. Pang Tu is responsible for patrolling Xiangyang, and in case the other party chases him, he is responsible for leading people to repel the enemy.

By the time she finished arranging, it was already midnight and midnight, and the moon was in the middle of the day. After Lan Jing'an asked everyone to get ready, Yu Yinchu met at the north gate of Xiangyang, and the opportunity must not be lost, so it is necessary to act as soon as possible.

Lan Jing'an also asked people to find a suit for Xie Weining and Yin Quan, and Bi Luan had to stay by her side no matter what this time. In addition to his own personal guards, Lan Jing'an also ordered Wutun's troops, telling him that this time it is very likely that there will be no return, and if there is any hesitation, you can stay. These 500 people knew that this battle was dangerous and abnormal, but for the sake of Xiangyang and the great commander's order, they actively participated in the battle.

Lan Jing'an stared at the sky, hoping that Xie Weining's words about the wind in the middle of the night were not lies. After the three quarters of Chouzheng, not only did the wind get stronger, but the clouds gathered more and more, covering a full moon in the sky.

The shadows that were originally illuminated by the Mao moon were more than enough on both sides of the Han River, but now they were plunged into darkness. Lan Jing'an breathed a long sigh of relief. She was still thinking about whether to make a detour to the west side of Wanshan Mountain and then cross the Han River, in case she was detected by Dayong in the sparkling river, but it seems that she doesn't need it now, just cross it directly.

Yin Chu has arrived, and at this time there is silence on both sides of the Han River, and most of the officers and soldiers of the two armies are asleep. In the wind of hunting, Lan Jing gave the order to set off.

Lan Jing'an led the people to rush towards the Dayong camp on the east side of Moon Bay in five ships, and at the same time, fifteen fishing boats. Five other small boats, escorted by two sterns, followed.

Lan Jing'an stood at the bow of the boat, facing the blowing river breeze, and asked Xie Weining curiously: "Ning Wei, how did you calculate that there would be a strong wind at this time?" ”

Xie Weining didn't hide it from her: "It's not calculated, but I just remember a proverb that my mother taught me back then: The sun and the moon have a wind circle, and the wind is turbulent when there is no rain." That is, a large halo around the sun during the day and a small halo around the moon at night is a sign of high winds. Yesterday, the sun and moon halos were all in line, and it would be strange if there was no wind. ”

Lan Jing'an was surprised by his confession, but thinking that his mother concubine didn't seem to be from the Xia Kingdom, it was very possible that he knew some unusual customs and proverbs. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Ning Wei, in fact, you don't have to be like this tonight. ”

Xie Weining looked at the darkness opposite with his hands in his hands and did not answer. Now he didn't know if he could live with her, and in that case, he didn't want to say something against his will and then coax her.

Lan Jing'an waited for a while, but saw that he didn't answer. She hated him, but he was always there when she needed help the most. Although his help was rewarded many times, he really helped her too much.

And this time, only this time, knowing that there was a lot of danger, he chose to stand by her side regardless of any reward. She really wanted to say thank you to him. But she didn't know how to speak, and was hesitating, only to hear Sun Wei leaning over and whispering: "Da Si Ming, we are about to dock." ”

Lan Jing'an put away his hesitation, and instead half-squinted his eyes to observe the terrain carefully. In the darkness, it seemed that tiny snow particles began to hit the face. Lan Jing'an didn't care, as long as the snow was not heavy, it wouldn't affect her plans to burn the dock.

Lan Jing ordered the boat to row into a hidden reed. This is the opposite side of the east hill of Moon Bay, just one hill away from the dock. But today, the northwest wind is blowing, and the boat is sailing against the current, so it may take a while to row through here.

She lowered her voice and asked Captain Changshui, "How long will it take for your people to row over?" Captain Changshui sensed the wind and replied, "It is estimated that it will take at least a moment, but it will definitely not take two moments." She asked, "Where do you come back?" Captain Changshui replied: "Less than half a moment." ”

Lan Jing made a silent calculation in peace of mind, and said: "You first send a fishing boat to row over the headland, don't get too close to the dock, stay still, observe when the other party will transfer troops to leave, and then come back to report, and then take the others over to burn the dock." ”
