Seeing that Chen Qiuming also knew himself, Li Cunmiao was even more happy, and said with a smile: "What is the son of the world, Yazi has been in the army since he was a child, and he only knows how to lead troops to fight on weekdays." The greatest wish in his life is to help his father sweep away the rebels and restore peace to the world; The biggest hobby is to make friends with heroes in the world, play the piano and flute, drink and have fun! ”

"I was really overjoyed to see Brother Chen today, if Brother Chen can afford Yazi, please go back to the camp with Yazi and let Yazi fulfill the friendship of the landlord?"

Chen Qiuming was also infected by Li Cunmiao's boldness, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to ask for what I want." ”

Li Cunmiao was overjoyed and shouted, "Sons, go back to the camp." ”

He stretched out his hand to Chen Qiuming and said, "Brother Chen, please come with Yazi!" ”

Dozens of people rode their horses and galloped, and in less than a stick of incense, they arrived at Li Cunqiao's camp. This large camp is located in the valley ten miles southwest of Luzhou City, built by the mountains and rivers, and the camp is orderly and heavily guarded.

The commander of this military camp is Li Cunxuan, whose command is mainly cavalry, and Zhou Dewei in Luzhou City is the horn of each other. As soon as he returned to the camp, Li Cunmiao ordered his subordinates to kill pigs and sheep, set up a banquet, and shouted that he would get drunk with Chen Qiuming.

Li Cunqiao was born in Taiyuan Mansion, originally a member of the Shatuo tribe, because of his grandfather Zhu Xie's meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion, the whole family was given the surname Li by the emperor.

Chen Qiuming found that Li Cunmiao, a member of the Shatuo tribe, was more thoroughly sinicized and spoke Chinese, Li Cunmiao took off his armor and was wearing Hanfu inside, and even his living habits were no different from ordinary Han people.

In Li Cunmiao's big tent, there are even a lot of books, silk scrolls and musical instruments, which makes Chen Qiuming a little impressed, you know, now he is marching and fighting.

Li Cunmiao cleaned up briefly, and seeing that Chen Qiuming was curiously looking at his collection of books and musical instruments, Li Cunmiao laughed and said: "Brother Chen, as a senior disciple of Xue Yang's predecessors, you must be proficient in music, why don't you let Yazi stroke the piano for you, how about you please help taste it?" ”

Chen Qiuming's face almost blushed when he heard this, for qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Xue Yang taught him everything, but Chen Qiuming's talent in this area was really unsatisfactory, but he still had some appreciation ability, so he readily agreed.

Li Cunmiao began to kneel in front of the piano and concentrate on stroking the piano. As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one, and in just a short paragraph, Chen Qiuming heard that Li Cunmiao's attainments were extraordinary, almost the same as Luo Xiaoxiao's level, which was extremely rare for a military general who led troops to fight all day long.

What made Chen Qiuming a little embarrassed was that he couldn't even hear any repertoire played by Li Cunmiao, but only heard the sound of the piano, which contained a galloping momentum of thousands of horses, as if he was in the midst of thousands of troops, which made people's hearts surge!

After the song, Chen Qiuming said with some shame: "Brother Li's piano skills are superb, Qiu Ming is ashamed of himself, please forgive me for being lonely and unheard, this song is magnificent, but I have never heard it in Xia, it is really a little unheard of." ”

Li Cunmiao helped resolve Chen Qiuming's embarrassment and said: "This "Marching Song" was created by Yazi himself, it is normal that Brother Chen has not heard it, can Brother Chen play a song to open Yazi's eyes?" ”

Chen Qiuming hurriedly shirked and said: "In terms of music and rhythm, there are really some teachings that have been taught by the teacher, how dare you make an axe in front of an expert like Brother Li." ”

Li Cunmiao said: "The rhythm and martial arts are average, and only by communicating with others can we make progress, no matter whether Brother Chen is modest and clumsy, or whether he is skilled, it is rare for you and me to see each other at first sight, and I hope that Brother Chen will not shirk." ”

Chen Qiuming is actually a cheerful person, seeing that Li Cunmiao said sincerely, he took off a hole flute on the wall and said: "Since this is the case, it is ugly." ”

Immediately, Chen Qiuming began to play a song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", this song Chen Qiuming knew in his previous life, but he could handle it at the level, plus he had a long breath in this life, and after the song was blown, Li Cunmiao was shocked.

At this moment, Li Cunmiao's guards began to serve wine and food, and Li Cunmiao also woke up from the shock and praised: "Such a tune, Yazi has never heard of, Brother Chen is really modest, has such skills, but is so low-key, it really makes Yazi embarrassed." ”

He pointed to the wine and meat on the table and said: "The conditions in the barracks are simple, that's all, Brother Chen, don't dislike it, come, please sit down." ”

So the two began to gather around the desk and began to drink and eat meat. The wine is good wine, it is the heroic tears sold by the Central Plains merchants, the meat is good meat, and the newly slaughtered lamb is roasted to the outside and tender on the inside, which makes people move their appetite at a glance.

The two chatted while eating, Li Cunmiao asked Chen Qiuming about his intention, and Chen Qiuming told him that he was just passing by and planned to go to Khitan to find out the whereabouts of his master Xue Yang.

Li Cunmiao frowned and said: "According to intelligence, after Xue Yang's predecessor fought with Xiao Dilu last year, he should have returned to the Central Plains, and some people have also seen Xue Xian's ancestor in the Wutai Mountain area. In addition, how difficult it is for you to find Xue Yang's predecessors in the vast sea of people, I have an intelligence network in my hand, why don't you stay here for the time being, and let Yazi send someone to help you investigate? ”

The master went south?

Chen Qiuming thought for a while, and then agreed, as one of the top princes in the world, the intelligence network in his hand must be strong, and with Li Cunmiao's help, he will not be able to collide with a headless fly.

Seeing Chen Qiuming's promise, Li Cunmiao was overjoyed and began to push the cup and change the lamp with Chen Qiuming, and talk highly.

During the conversation, seeing that Chen Qiuming had extraordinary knowledge, he humbly asked for advice, and Chen Qiuming also had a good impression of Li Cunmiao, so he asked: "I don't know what Brother Li is and what he wants." ”

Li Cunmiao thought for a while and said: "Now, Yazi's biggest ambition is how to break Li Si'an's 100,000 army to relieve the siege of Luzhou, as for the future, Yazi hopes to defeat the Zhuwen dog thief and return the world to the Tang Dynasty." ”

After hearing this, Chen Qiuming thought to himself, no wonder Tang neglected political affairs and indulged in lust after you killed Hou Liang in later generations, it turned out that killing Zhu Wen was your greatest ambition in this life.

However, Chen Qiuming was noncommittal after hearing this, but pondered for a moment and said: "It is not difficult to break Li Si'an's camp, the day before yesterday I had a look at the camp of the Liang army from a distance, the military tent is dense, too tight, just pick a month of dark and windy night, want to send more than 100 elite scouts to set fire, and there are more than 10,000 cavalry on the periphery to take advantage of the chaos to cover up, and the Liang army will be defeated!" ”

After hearing this, Li Cunmiao's eyes widened like copper bells, and he slapped his forehead and said, "Such a simple and effective plan, why didn't Yazi think of it?" Thank you Brother Chen, if you break Li Si'an's army, Yazi will definitely thank you. ”

Chen Qiuming warned: "Many things are easier said than done, and a detailed plan must be made in advance, and there are several key points at this time. First of all, the elite who set fire must be carefully selected and practiced repeatedly, and they must carry more flammable materials such as fire oil and saltpeter; Secondly, the problem of the cavalry's night march and the problem of preventing the leakage of information should be carefully considered; Also, it's best to find a windy night so that the fire burns quickly. ”

After hearing this, Li Cunmiao nodded heavily, and said with confidence: "Brother Chen, don't worry, as long as you have ideas, you will be able to do it, and you will definitely deduce the plan repeatedly before you act to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" ”

In the next few days, Chen Qiuming stayed in Li Cunmiao's military camp, waiting for Li Cunmiao's news of his master, and at the same time helping to staff the entire plan.

Li Cunmiao vacated a separate tent for Chen Qiuming, and asked his generals to call Chen Qiuming a military advisor.

On the fifth day after the autumn equinox, the weather suddenly turned cold, with not only frost but also cold winds in the morning. Li Cunmiao and Chen Qiuming discussed and started today.

In the evening, the army had dinner early, and everything was ready, and officially marched towards Li Si'an's camp twenty miles away. In order to keep it secret, Li Cunqiao only told the news to the more than 100 elite squads that were secretly training, and the other commanders in the army only informed him before they were deployed, and even Zhou Dewei, the commander in Luzhou City, knew nothing about Li Cunqing's actions.

Chen Qiuming followed the scout team to set off first, because it was close to evening, and the weather was getting cold, he didn't meet half of the Liang army's scouts along the way, and it was only less than half an hour before he arrived at the agreed place. There is a forest here, less than three miles away from the Liang army camp in a straight line.

After a while, Li Cunqiao arrived with more than 10,000 cavalry, and after the two sides converged, everything was ready, just waiting for the Liang army to go to sleep. At this time, the good military quality of the Jin army was reflected, and the army of more than 10,000 people was quiet, and even the war horses would not neigh under the comfort of the riders.

Chen Qiuming wanted to act with the scout team, Li Cunmiao was worried about Chen Qiuming's safety, and he didn't want to let Chen Qiuming take risks, Chen Qiuming said confidently: "Brother Li, don't worry, get rid of the Great Grandmaster, no one in this world can take their lives." ”

Li Cunqiao said: "Having said that, Brother Chen still has to be careful, once something can't be done, he will withdraw in time, leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood." ”

Chen Qiuming nodded in agreement.

As soon as the hour passed, the wind seemed to become stronger, and Chen Qiuming quietly walked towards the camp of the Liang army with more than a hundred scouts. At this time, Chen Qiuming's role was reflected, not only could he accurately grasp the number of Liang army sentinels, but he could also take out a folding bow from a hundred meters away, and quietly solve the sentries on the two watchtowers almost at the same time in an extreme time.

Dealing with the sentinels made the next move much easier, and according to the previous drill, these scouts infiltrated the Liang army camp one after another and began to sprinkle fire oil on various tents.

In fact, there are also patrol sentries in the camp, usually in teams of five, holding torches and dangling here. However, Chen Qiuming led a few scouts with superb martial arts and excellent archery skills to be eliminated at designated points, and these sentries often returned to the west completely before they made a sound.

Things went well, and after clearing out the eight patrols, Chen Qiuming flew up to a high platform to lookout, and his men also helped join the arson.

The barracks of 100,000 people were so large that there were thousands of tents densely packed with them, and they were several miles deep in front and back, left and right, so that more than 100 people worked neatly with their hands and feet, and it took half a column of incense to work, and there were still many tents that had not been poured with oil.
