Xu Changfang, the lord of the northern city, went out of the city to fight against the Jin general, but he fell into the trap by mistake and was surrounded and killed by the Jin army, and the news also spread to the palace as soon as possible.

After hearing this, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked and in an uproar, now in Xiangyang City, Xu Changfang is already one of the best generals, and he was killed by the Jin army so easily, how could Liu Ji and the ministers not be surprised.

Liu Ji was furious after being surprised, he slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "This king has already ordered that the generals are strictly forbidden to go out of the city to meet the enemy, why does Xu Changfang not listen?

The ministers hung their heads one after another, and in front of the angry Liu Ji, people were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Among the people, only Li Qi was not surprised by Xu Changfang's death, he was nodding secretly at this time, the Jin army was really full of talents, Xu Changfang, who was so powerful, was killed by the Jin army so quickly, and the destruction of the Jin army was just around the corner.

He had already made up his mind in his heart, and after the Jin army broke through the city, killed all the Liu clan, and put himself on the throne of the Wood King, he immediately responded to the call of You and Yan and sent troops to conquer the Jin country.

At this time, Li Qi not only did not feel that a catastrophe was coming, but was still complacent, dreaming of his spring and autumn season.

He took a few steps out of the train, bowed to Liu Ji, looked worried about the king and the country, and said: "The king is angry, please focus on the overall situation." Now there is no main general in Beicheng, in case the Jin army comes to attack and there is no one to command, I am afraid that the city defense of Beicheng will be chaotic, please re-select the main general of Beicheng as soon as possible to stabilize the situation and city defense of Beicheng!"

Liu Ji secretly said with a reasonable voice and said: "What Li Yushi said is true. As he spoke, he looked around at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs below, and after reading it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The powerful generals in the capital have all been dispatched, and now there is no one available, how can this be good?

After pondering for a while, he asked, "Who is in command of Beicheng now?"

Prime Minister Du Kong came out of the queue and replied: "Back to the king, it's General Li Peng Li!"

"Li Peng?" Liu Ji was still very impressed by Li Peng. In just two years, he completed his cultivation in the Underworld Martial Arts Academy at the age of eighteen, and he can be called a wizard of the Underworld Martial Arts, and his background is also good, he is the nephew of the imperial history Li Qi, and his loyalty to Mu Guohe should be unquestionable.

After thinking about it, Liu Ji asked Xiangcheng Du Kong again: "If this king is not mistaken, Li Peng should be the deputy general of Beicheng, right?"

Du Kong responded: "Yes, my lord. ”

"That's good. Li Peng was promoted to the chief general of Beicheng. After a pause, he said again: "Li Yushi, you go to find a resourceful general to go to Beicheng as a deputy general to assist Li Peng!"

"Yes, King!"

In a word, Liu Ji directly promoted Li Peng to the chief general of the Beicheng city defense, and his understanding of Li Peng was correct, but he was wrong on the most important thing, Li Peng was not loyal to him.

The progress of the matter is in the hands of the scheming Li Qi. The nephew became the general of the North City and controlled the entire city defense of the North City. Welcoming the Jin army into the city is basically a matter of ease.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, he immediately ordered his servants to go to Beicheng to inform Li Peng of the good news, while he himself returned to the house and found a spy from the Jin Kingdom to relay the news.

The huge city of Xiangyang has been blocked by the Mu army, but because of Li Qi, a traitor. There was a slight disturbance in the city, but it could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Jin army, and the news of the Jin army outside the city was even better than that of most of the wooden people in the city.

After receiving Li Qi's report, Lin Haotian was overjoyed, next. All he had to do was wait patiently for news.

Late that night, Li Qi secretly found Li Peng in his mansion to discuss how to successfully introduce the Jin army into Xiangyang.

Even if Li Peng is now the chief general of Beicheng, it is impossible for him to give an open order to open the city gate, lower the drawbridge, and let the Jin army enter the city.

Li Peng's martial arts are not bad, but his mind is average, and he is far less treacherous and cunning than Li Qi.

Even if he becomes the general of Beicheng, how to put the Jin army into the city, he can't think of a good way for a while.

In the end, Li Qi gave him an idea, asking him to send an army out of the city at night, using the sneak attack on the Jin camp as an excuse, and then let the Jin army return in the form of a wooden army, so that the Jin army could enter the city smoothly.

Li Peng has always been optimistic about his uncle, and even praised this idea as good, and immediately nodded and accepted it.

Then, Li Qi wrote down the plan in detail and handed it to the Jin State spies in the palace, and then the spies passed the book to the Jin army outside the city, and as for the time, it was set at the subnight tomorrow.

In addition, Li Qi also made a complicated list for Lin Haotian in the letter, the people in the list were either ministers of the DPRK and China, or relatives of the king, Li Qi wrote very clearly in the letter, these people are Liu Ji's henchmen, loyal to Liu Hao, after the Jin army entered the city, these people should be solved first.

Of course, he is also using the hands of the Jin army to eradicate dissidents and people who will create resistance to his claim to be king.

Liu Ji's letter was sent to the outside of the city by the Jin Army's spy Feige. Due to the large number of contents of the letters, and the importance of them, the Jin Army spies deliberately divided the book into several parts, even if one or two carrier pigeons were found by the Mu Army, it was impossible to find anything from the mutilated letters.

Shao Lin, who was in Jinying, received seven or eight summons one after another, and then immediately sorted them out and pieced them together to confirm that there was no missing, and then handed them over to Lin Haotian and asked him to take a look.

At this time, Lin Haotian was resting in the sleeping tent, and when he heard that there was a letter sent from Xiangyang City, he subconsciously reacted and rolled up directly from the bed, and said urgently: "Bring it to me!"

Since killing Xu Changfang, Lin Haotian has been waiting for news from Li Qi, and now that a book has finally arrived, his heart has risen to his throat.

Shao Lin entered the tent and handed Li Peng's letter to Lin Haotian, and at this time, a guard took out a fire twister and lit the lampstand in the tent.

Lin Haotian carefully read Li Qi's letter from beginning to end, then the corners of his mouth rose, he chuckled on his back, and blurted out: "The big thing has been accomplished!" As he spoke, he shook the letter and asked, "Shao Lin, have you read the content of the letter?"

Shao Lin shook his head and said, "The last general has not seen it." The letter was personally sorted out by him, and the content was basically understood, and the reason why he said that he had not read it was mainly to avoid suspicion.

Lin Haotian handed the letter to Shao Lin and said with a smile: "Look at it!"

Shao Lin took it, this time he read the letter seriously, he first showed surprise on his face, and then asked worriedly: "My lord, will there be any fraud in this? What if the other party sets up an ambush in the city and deliberately leads our army into the city?"

Lin Haotian nodded with a smile, shook his head again, and said, "It is commendable that you can still be cautious at this time, but there will definitely be no fraud in it." ”

"Your Excellency trusts Li Qi so much?"

"It's not that I can trust him, but I look at the content, and there will be no fraud. ”

Seeing Shao Lin's puzzled expression, Lin Haotian smiled again and explained: "According to Li Qi's plan, Li Peng will send 3,000 wooden troops to attack our battalion, then we can only send 3,000 soldiers at most to disguise themselves and change into the appearance of wooden troops to blend into Xiangyang. ”

Shao Lin pondered carefully, and this is also the truth, he nodded and responded: "What the adults said is extremely true, but the general has too much heart. After a pause, he asked again: "My lord, do you want to raise the account now and summon the generals to come and discuss?"

"En!" Lin Haotian nodded, seeing that Shao Lin was about to go out, he stretched out his hand to stop him again, and said, "Forget it, let's let everyone sleep well! Everyone is tired these days...... By the way, there should still be a lot of wooden armor and uniforms in the baggage of our army, right?"

Shao Lin smiled and said, "Don't say 3,000 sets, even 30,000 sets are no problem." ”

Lin Haotian was completely relieved when he heard this, waved his hand to Shao Lin, and said, "You can also go back and rest, tomorrow night, we will have a big battle!"

"Yes, my lord, the last general will retire!" Shao Lin bowed deeply, and then slowly retreated.

After Shao Lin left, Lin Haotian read the letter again, and then closed his eyes and meditated.

Only 3,000 men could be sent into the city, and these 3,000 men had to play the role of controlling the city gates, at least until their own troops entered the city, they had to firmly control the city gates, and they must not be allowed to close the city gates.

The wooden army in Beicheng is at least about 50,000, and 3,000 people must withstand 50,000 enemy troops, even if it doesn't take too long, it is not easy to do. If the First Legion is there, it will be easy to do, but it is a pity that there are no elite soldiers in his hands who can beat ten now.

Which 3,000 people to send to dress up as a wooden army really made Lin Haotian spend a lot of time, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

In the end, he could only turn his mind to the guards beside him. (To be continued......)
