After Ji Ling received the news from his scouts, he hurriedly asked to see Yuan Yao.

"Childe, as you expected, then Chen Ce has really taken the bait!"

"Great, has he already led the soldiers and horses out of the lair and headed straight for Linze?"

When Yuan Yao heard Ji Ling's words, he immediately became overjoyed and hurriedly asked Ji Ling about the specific situation.

"Our spies came to report, that Chen Ce led more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, approached the road quickly, and rushed to Linze."

"According to the speed of their march, it is estimated that tomorrow morning will be able to reach the location of Tai Shici and the others."

Ji Ling quickly reported the information obtained by the spies to Yuan Yao.

After Yuan Yao listened, his face became excited.

"Very good, I know that Chen Ce can't help it, as long as he dares to come, we will keep him!"

"Ji Ling, quickly gather our men, let the second-class and third-class soldiers all assemble, and ambush Chen Ce's inevitable path!"

After having Yuan Yao's orders, Ji Ling did not dare to slack off, and soon went down to gather people and prepare to set off.

On the other hand, Yuan Yao also sent news to Tai Shici.

After Tai Shi Ci knew that Chen Ce would be here soon.

He was even more excited, gearing up, waiting for Chen Ce's arrival.

Chen Ce, on the other hand, was also in a hurry at the moment, so he only gathered 3,000 people in the cottage and began to rush in the direction of Linze.

It's not that there are only so many people under Chen Ce.

He has nearly 10,000 horses under his command, but not all of them are distributed in the cottage.

There are also some scattered throughout Lujiang County, among the strongholds.

After all, there are a lot of people, and it is impossible to hide them all in the cottage.

It was not easy for him to gather 3,000 men in a short period of time.

If you give him more time, you will be able to gather more people.

However, he was worried that Tai Shi Ci would take the opportunity to attack his docks, and there was no time to gather men for him.

Anyway, in his opinion, the current Tai Shi Ci is only more than a thousand people.

It is more than enough to bring 3,000 people over by yourself.

Annihilating Tai Shici's gang of water thieves in one fell swoop is not a problem.

Because of this, Chen Ce quickly gathered his manpower, and went straight to Tai Shici's place under the stars.

From the first-line sky canyon to Linze Water Lake, it is actually less than a hundred miles.

These bandits have been traversing the jungle all year round, and they know a lot about the nearby roads.

One day is enough time to come to the vicinity of Linze.

One-eyed is the second master of the first-line Sky Canyon.

He is also the number one general under Chen Ce.

In this attack, Tai Shi Ci led a part of the soldiers and horses as the vanguard to explore the way first.

The people he took with him walked very quickly, and it didn't take long for them to come to the vicinity of Tai Shici.

However, he did not rush to find trouble with Tai Shici.

After all, these men he brought with him were only the vanguard, used as scouts to find out the news.

Along the way, he didn't notice anything wrong.

And when he was close to Tai Shici's lair, he stopped, and only arranged for a few people to go to the vicinity of the water village to observe.

After noticing that there were still people coming and going in the water village, he felt at ease.

"Quickly go and inform the big boss, just say that Tai Shi Ci has not left yet, we only need to attack Tai Shi Ci's lair at night, and we will definitely be able to wipe it out!"

One-eyed, Chen Ce and the others traveled all the way through the starry night, and when they arrived at Linze Water Lake, it was already dusk the next day.

The more than 3,000 bandits came all the way, physically and mentally exhausted.

There is no benefit in attacking rashly, although they are not good at marching and fighting, but they still understand this bit of common sense.

I plan to raise the pot to cook first, so that all my subordinates can eat a good meal, and then make a short rest, and when the night falls, I will enter the water village and catch Tai Shi Ci off guard.

After the news came back from One-Eye, Chen Ce was even more relieved.

Immediately arrange for his men and horses to rest on the spot.

Then he ordered someone to prepare, a simple meal, and took out the dry food they had brought to cushion the stomach.

Wait until dusk falls, and night covers the land.

The moon and stars are sparse on the night, although they don't reach out and lose their fingers.

But the light is still very weak, and without torch lighting, it is impossible to see anything from a distance of more than ten meters.

Under such a night, Chen Ce led people to slowly touch Tai Shici's water village.

After meeting with the one-eyed in front of them, Chen Ce and the others began to plan to attack Tai Shi Ci's water village.

And the actions of Chen Ce and the others naturally all fell into Yuan Yao's eyes.

Yuan Yao, who had already been ambushed near the water village, forcibly pressed the excitement in his heart at this time.

Ji Ling on the side was even more excited than Yuan Yao.

Ask Yuan Yao from time to time, when can you attack?

In Ji Ling's opinion, these bandits have already appeared, but he can completely defeat them by leading the soldiers and horses to kill them directly.

But Yuan Yao didn't think so.

He felt that now was not the time.

Therefore, Ji Ling was repeatedly stopped from leading his troops and horses to attack.

Ji Ling was a little puzzled.

Ask Yuan Yao why he didn't attack at this time.

Yuan Yao immediately put on an unfathomable look.

"General Ji Ling doesn't need to worry, although the plan to lure the snake out of the hole has been successful, we can still catch the turtle in the urn."

"When these bandits all enter Tai Shici's water village to fight them, and then we can kill them from the rear, it is much better than rushing out now."

Ji Ling didn't think about it that much, all he wanted was to fight these thieves from the front as soon as possible.

But Yuan Yao is different, what he has to consider is how to defeat these bandits at the lowest cost and solve the problem in front of him.

Kill it now, although you can also kill this gang of bandits by surprise.

But after all, there are more than 3,000 of them, and Yuan Yao is only 1,500 people.

The difference in numbers, even if Yuan Yao can kill this group of bandits, there will inevitably be great losses.

After this group of bandits entered the water village and Tai Shici's men and horses, and after the battle, he led the soldiers and horses to cut off the retreat of this group of bandits.

This group of bandits thought that the other party would have reinforcements, and they would not dare to fight in a panic, and when the time came, they would only care about running away and had no intention of fighting.

Yuan Yao's men and horses only need to pursue, and there is no need to fight with them, the losses will be much smaller, and they will have a greater certainty that they can defeat this group of bandits.

Of course, he had another thought.

Let Tai Shi Ci's men and horses fight with this group of bandits first, and lose the strength of Tai Shi Ci and Chen Ce.

When the time comes, he will kill again and finish Chen Ce.

At the same time, rescue Tai Shi Ci and make Tai Shi Ci owe him a big favor.

At that time, it will be easier for him to throw an olive branch to Tai Shi Ci and recruit Tai Shi Ci for his own use.

Ji Ling, who was on the side, also knew that he was a little anxious after listening to Yuan Yao's description.

He didn't speak again, but waited patiently.
