After nightfall, Li Yuan invited Peng Qingying to go up to the city tower, saying that he had set up a banquet on the city tower, and asked Concubine Ai to accompany him to the city tower to drink and admire the moon. Peng Qingying was extremely puzzled, where did she come from to admire the moon at the end of March. Even if there is, there is a crescent moon, what is there to see.

But Li Yuan insisted on inviting him, and Peng Qingying couldn't refuse him. After all, Li Yuan is not only the emperor, but also his husband, and if the husband wants to drink with him, of course he has to accompany him to relax.

Sitting in the cold wind at the head of the city for two days, eating cold dishes and drinking cold wine, and looking at the dark scene under the city, it is really not interesting. But Li Yuan seemed to be in high spirits, talking and laughing, and was in a good mood, so Peng Qingying had no choice but to sit on the side and accompany him.

After staying up until the third watch, Peng Qingying quit, she no longer cared about Li Yuan, who was smirking on the side, so she got up and prepared to go down to the city and go back to her residence to rest. At this time, Li Yuan smiled and said: "Concubine Ai, don't be in a hurry, tonight's show is about to start, and I invite you to watch the show tonight." ”

"Your Majesty, you pulled the concubine to blow the cold wind all night, and the concubine's hands and feet were cold, you are embarrassed to say it." Peng Qingying complained.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I am the king of a country, and I am a man of all my word. It's true, the show is on. Ai Concubine, can you know the allusions of the princes of the Beacon Opera of King Zhou You, and the first scene tonight is the princes of the Beacon Theater. Look, someone, fire flares! ”

"Bang bang bang", three signal bombs went up to the sky, and then the other party's military camp was in chaos, and the sound of shouting and noise came from afar, and it became a pot of porridge.

Li Yuan laughed proudly: "Fun isn't it? See? Three flares made the enemy pee their pants in fright. ”

Peng Qingying looked at him speechlessly, frowned, and said, "This is what Your Majesty said about the princes of the Beacon Opera?" Could it be that Your Majesty is so happy to let the concubines see each other's messy appearance? ”

Li Yuan was stunned and said, "Isn't this interesting? I haven't moved a single soldier yet, and they panicked like this with only three flares, isn't it funny? Why don't you laugh? ”

"Boring!" Peng Qingying said in a low voice.

Li Yuan touched his nose and sighed, "Hey, what do you know? Do you know how hard it can be to do that? How hard is it to get them to panic with three flares? This shows how much they are afraid of my Great Chu King, and how much effort it takes to make them so afraid, you know? ”

"The concubine knows it's difficult, but it's really not funny. Your Majesty is not the king of Zhou You, and the concubine is not a concubine, Your Majesty doesn't have to use this method to make the concubine happy, the concubine prefers to stay in the warm room and sleep well! Your Majesty, you dragged your concubines to be cold, you really don't care about your concubines. Peng Qingying said unceremoniously.

"Don't you want to be a prince? That has to be exercised, lying down every day is not good for the body. It's not that I don't feel sorry for you, it's just a pity that I missed out on such a good show. Hey, don't go, there's a second act, let's have a little more wine, and the second act will start soon. Li Yuan resolutely stopped Peng Qingying and did not allow her to go down to the city.

"What is the second act? Your Majesty said first, if it's not fun, the concubine will go back to sleep. Peng Qingying pouted.

"It's fun, it's fun, the second act is to imitate the Battle of Yiling of the Three Kingdoms, called Burning the Company Camp! Big play, big play! Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Burn down the company camp?" Peng Qingying asked in amazement.

Li Yuan said proudly: "Yes, if you want to see it, you will sit obediently." By the way, if you dare to go, you will not give me face. If you don't give me face as an emperor, I will ......."

Peng Qingying raised her face and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Yuan lowered his voice and said, "I won't go to your bed for a month." ”

Peng Qingying was ashamed, scolded coquettishly, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the surrounding guards, worried that they would hear Li Yuan's outrageous words as the king of a country. The guards stood motionless in the distance, as if they didn't hear it, and then they were relieved.

Peng Qingying sat down again, she actually wanted to know what Li Yuan was going to do tonight, and how to burn the company camp, but she was also a little curious.

The chaos in the front camp of Zhang Wenbiao's army gradually subsided, and everyone was a little depressed. Especially those soldiers who slept soundly but were called up, they kept scolding in their hearts.

They didn't know whether to scold Chu Jun to scare themselves, or to scold themselves for not being angry, so easily they were frightened and panicked. But all in all, it was good that the other party did not attack, and the group returned to the tent, and fell to sleep with a curse, and soon after, they snored loudly again.

In a military tent on the south side of the front camp, three figures were gathering together to discuss something in a whisper. That was Liu Chengwu and Zhang Yaoxian, as well as Li Zhong, the former deputy general of the battalion who was in charge of logistics.

Three signal flares rose in the Tanzhou City Tower, and everyone thought at first that the Chu army was going to send troops to attack the camp, and then they thought that it was just three signal flares, just a joke. But no one knew that these three signal flares were given orders to Liu Chengwu, Zhang Yaoxian, and Li Zhong.

Last night, the plan discussed by Li Yuan and Liu Chengwu was to use three signal flares as signals, and from this moment on, they will enter the implementation stage.

Soon after, Li Zhong took the lead, followed by thousands of soldiers pushing carts, appeared on the smooth road leading to the Chinese army camp. The front battalion and the Chinese army were separated by a fence less than 200 paces. To enter the Chinese army camp, you must pass through the gate of the middle camp to be checked. When the group walked dozens of steps in front of the gate of the middle camp, they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the middle camp.

"What for? Hold it. The gatekeeper shouted.

"Presumptuous, I am Li Zhong, the former deputy general of the battalion and the commander of the logistics quartermaster, and I came to the granary of the middle camp to receive the rations of the Ming Army." Li Zhong said in a deep voice.

In the large army, because the grain and grass are stored in a centralized manner, each army needs to send people to receive grain and grass supplies according to their share every day. Once a day, in the early hours of the morning. This could be done in the early morning when the soldiers got up and distributed to the battalions for them to eat. Receiving food every day is Li Zhong's daily duty.

More than a dozen guards stepped forward and checked Li Zhong's waist card. They also know Li Zhong, after all, they come every day.

"It turned out to be General Li, are those of your people? How can there be so much today? The little leader asked, as is customary.

"Yes, they are all brothers under the command of General Ben. Today I have to receive some dried meat, grain and firewood, and there are not enough people, so I will bring more people so as not to make another trip. Li Zhong said with a smile.

"General Lee, please." Without suspicion, the guards waved their hands and opened the gate of the middle camp, and Li Zhong led everyone into the middle camp.

The group marched further on, through the continuous tent camps, and arrived at a flat land under the hill where Zhang Wenbiao's tent was located. This is where the army hoarded grain and grass materials. Without exception, all the grain and grass materials brought in were piled up in the huge fenced off field.

At the entrance of the storage place, the same interrogation was carried out again, but Li Zhong and the others entered the warehouse unimpeded. But I saw that in the large open field, huge stacks of grain stood in rows, and stacks of forage for horses were piled up like a hill.

The hundreds of huge tents on the periphery are material warehouses, and inside are arrows, armor, weapons and other various military supplies to ensure the combat and food of the 150,000 Jiangbei troops, and the materials required are staggering.

A hundred steps ahead, the field in the middle of the warehouse was brightly lit, hundreds of soldiers in the rear battalion were lining up pushing carts, and they were receiving grain for loading in accordance with the rules, and hundreds of people were carrying grain packing trucks from the grain stacks, a busy scene.

Li Zhong stood still, and behind him, Liu Chengwu and Zhang Yao, who were wearing ordinary soldier armor, came up first.

"The two generals, they can't go according to the original plan, so let's do it." Li Zhong said in a low voice.
