Hearing the inquiry, his subordinates hurriedly shook their heads, Feng Dian's face was a little ugly, the main planner of this plan was Chu Qing.

Now that Changping County has been taken, his most trusted strategist Chu Qing is currently missing, how can this not make Feng Dian worry in his heart.

If something happened to Chu Qing, it would be a big blow to him, and he immediately ordered to send a response officer, who wanted to see people in life and corpses in death.

Just as his subordinates nodded and prepared to leave, suddenly, a hurried announcement sounded.

"Newspaper... Report to the commander, Chu's staff is back. ”

Feng Dian was startled, turned his head suddenly, and in the darkness in the distance, a figure walked over under the leadership of his bandits.

This person is none other than Chu Qing, but now Chu Qing looks a little embarrassed, the clothes on his body are in tatters, his hair is scattered, and there are a few pieces of black on his face.

If it weren't for careful identification, Feng Dian wouldn't dare to recognize it for a while, and after confirming that it was Chu Qing's return, Feng Dian was very excited, stepped forward quickly, supported Chu Qing, and hurriedly said.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, but it scares me, and I'm afraid that something will happen to you."

Chu Qing waved his hand and said, "Thank you for the love of the commander, it is very dangerous to come back this time, fortunately, I took precautions early, otherwise my subordinates are afraid that it will be really difficult to come back." ”

Feng Dian nodded, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to prepare clothes for Chu Qing and wash up well.

Although I don't know how Chu Qing escaped death, after a little thought, I can guess the danger.

Under the nose of the enemy, another war broke out between the two sides, and under this chaos, successfully breaking through the siege and returning alive, the hardships and dangers along the way must be extremely vicious.

Looking at the exhaustion on Chu Qing's face, he could tell that fortunately, Chu Qing successfully came back, which made Feng Dian's hanging heart relax.

After a simple washing and tidying up, Feng Dian didn't care about letting Chu Qing go down to rest, but hurriedly circulated the military newspaper in his hand to him and inform him of the current situation.

At this time, only Chu Qing could give him advice, if others could catch up with half of Chu Qing, Feng Dian would not be anxious in his heart.

Chu Qing also knew that now was not the time to rest, so he hurriedly flipped through the military newspaper in his hand, his face was solemn, and after a moment of silence, he said softly.

"My lord, if this battle continues, I'm afraid that it will not be difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time, and if the time drags on for a long time, it will be more and more unfavorable to us."

Chu Qing was worthy of being the number one strategist under Feng Dian, and he broke through the fatal flaw of the current battle situation at a glance.

Feng Dian could naturally see this, the two sides had just experienced the battle of encircling and suppressing Xu Shan's bandits, and basically did not rest much, and immediately fought in close arms.

At present, the two sides are temporarily evenly matched, but Feng Dian knows that the Zhongzhou soldiers who are fighting with them at the moment are not all the troops, and in the two counties of Beishan and Qinghe, there are the so-called militia organizations established by Su Ji and Li Chongxiang, that is, private soldiers.

The combat power is not strong, but the victory lies in the huge number, at least nearly 10,000 people in rough steps, with the participation of this group, not to mention the overwhelming advantage, at least the battle situation between the two sides will be scorched again.

The time has dragged on, and the people of the counties and counties in Zhongzhou will think when they look at it? Will there be no fear of the bandits before for them? Will it suddenly turn against the water and make small moves behind the scenes? These are all things that can happen.

The people of Changping County gave them a good example, which was what Feng Dian was most worried about.

Originally, according to his plan, while Xu Shan was negotiating peace with Su Ji and Li Chongxiang, he took advantage of the situation to take the two counties owned by Xu Shan.

Once he was allowed to take it, even if he encountered the Zhongzhou soldiers at that time, he would not be afraid at all, and he could fight a protracted battle, but he didn't expect Su Ji and Li Chongxiang's reaction to be very fast.

When he took one of the counties, he immediately ordered the Zhongzhou soldiers to advance on all fronts, and by the time he reacted, the other party, like him, had already seized the three counties of Yong'an County.

At this moment, the battle between the two sides naturally fell into a stalemate, and the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it was for Feng Dian.

If the last Yong'an County is taken by Su Ji and Li Chongxiang, then everything he has done will be in vain, which Feng Dian does not want to see.

Now that Chu Qing has returned, he has given Feng Dian a great comfort, hoping that he can come up with an idea, and now he can solve the current stalemate, and only Chu Qing can solve it.

After reading all the military reports in his hand, Chu Qing said softly, "My lord, the current stalemate, no matter how many troops are invested, it will not be able to break this situation, but it has become a tactic to add fuel. ”

"Tricks? You mean? Feng Dian's eyes flashed.

"My lord, we can do this..."Chu Qing whispered something in Feng Dian's ear, and after a moment, the vibration on Feng Dian's face could be clearly seen.

With a look of disbelief, he looked at Chu Qing, not that he did not approve of Chu Qing's strange moves, but that the moves were very risky and bold, compared to the previous stabbing in the back of Xu Shan, it was completely trivial, if one was not careful, it was likely that the whole army would be wiped out.

But in the same way, if this trick is successful, taking Zhongzhou is just around the corner, and it can be said that danger and opportunity coexist.

Feng Dian didn't open his mouth to answer, and Chu Qing didn't mean to persecute him, so he waited silently.

He knew this trick, even Feng Dian had to think about it, after all, it was about his personal life, and he couldn't afford to be careless.

Time passed minute by minute, about half a stick of incense, Feng nodded and looked up, looked at Chu Qing and asked.

"Chu Qing, how sure are you of this plan?"

"Back to my lord, half and half." Chu Qing said very seriously.

This kind of answer gives people a feeling that they didn't say it, if they were ordinary people, I am afraid that they would have been rejected a long time ago, but Feng Dian knew how powerful it was, looked at the military report in front of him, and after a short silence, he seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and said directly.

"Okay, since I have to talk about this, I don't have to say anything, in order to take Zhongzhou as soon as possible, I will take this risk."

"Chu Qing, the plan is handed over to you, and my life is also in your hands, please, this battle can only be won and not defeated."

"Don't worry, Lord Commander, Chu Qing promised you here with his life that he will definitely protect the safety of your lordship."

With Chu Qing's promise, Feng Dian nodded, and then discussed the specific details with him, and in about a quarter of an hour, in the rear barracks, Feng Dian's latest order was issued.

"Order, everyone must resist the Zhongzhou soldiers on the outskirts of Yong'an County at all costs, and prohibit them from taking a step forward."

This order does not seem strange, but only those on the front line of the battlefield can understand the meaning of these words.

It is normal to resist the Zhongzhou soldiers on the outskirts of Yong'an County, that is, not to let them occupy Yong'an County, but in the same way, they are also on the outskirts of Yong'an County, not to take the county seat.

The two sides have already encountered on the outskirts of the county, and they have been fighting each other in short combat, which means that this battle has to be fought into a protracted battle.

This is what they don't understand, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is very unfavorable for them if the time drags on, and it is best to be able to retreat one after another.

Even if Yong'an County is taken, taking advantage of this vacancy, troops can be deployed to surround Yong'an County, and basically some bandit leaders are ready to evacuate.

But Feng Dian's insistence on sticking to it made them a little confused. Several times asked the herald about the authenticity of Feng Dian's orders.

After receiving feedback from the first order, the bandit leaders had solemn faces and flashing eyes, not understanding why Feng Dian would give such an order to increase casualties.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, but when the order is given, they can only carry it out.

can be included in Feng Dian's command, everyone is his henchmen, and he is not afraid of the so-called backlash at all.

They just don't understand the purpose of continuing to increase the casualties, but when the order is given to let them die, they have to carry it out.

After a while, the bandit leaders adjusted their respective troop deployments, from the continuous fighting with the Zhongzhou soldiers just now, to the adoption of some defensive momentum in the back, at a glance, they knew that they were preparing for a protracted war.

The bandits' sudden change in their style of play, Su Ji and Li Chongxiang on the front line saw the problem at the first time.

The two looked at each other, their faces puzzled, and exchanged.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with these bandits? Fight a long war with us? What's the difference between this and sending it to the door, and is there any conspiracy in it? ”

Su Ji nodded, looked approving, and said softly. "Well, you're right, send a few scouts, capture a few prisoners, and see if you can find some information."

"At the same time, order the Zhongzhou soldiers not to be careless, not to go deep alone, since the other party wants to fight a protracted war with us, then keep fighting, I don't believe that Feng Dian can still do anything."

Li Chongxiang nodded, suddenly seemed to think of something, and said softly, "Lord Wang, do you want to inform King Yongchuan about this, maybe he can see something?" ”

Su Ji nodded, and then summoned a herald, and after a while, the herald disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

At this time, the whole Zhongzhou, the most fierce battle is the suburbs of Yongan County, it can be said that this battle is a battle to determine the ownership of Zhongzhou, who can occupy Yongan County, who can take Zhongzhou.

Just when the battle on the front line was fierce and fell into a white-hot stalemate, in a forest separated by one or two counties from Yongan County, a large number of black shadows were dispatched one after another.

At a glance, there were at least a thousand or so people, all masked and dressed in night clothes, walking in the remote woods, and the places they passed were quite quiet, and even if they caused any noise, no one would notice them.

After all, the eyes of the whole Zhongzhou have long been gathered on the outskirts of Yongan County, as for the dense forests that exist in Zhongzhou, who would deliberately pay attention, even if there are occasionally some hunters who go up to the mountains to hunt, when they meet this group of people, as expected, they have been solved neatly.

These black-clothed people are agile and ruthless, and they know at a glance that they are not ordinary people, and the road they are walking has always been a remote forest, even if there is a serious official road ahead, they will choose to avoid it, and continue to choose to walk through the forest, and looking at their route, it is obvious that they are taking a long road and a detour.

This kind of walking lasted for a small half a day, and only then did the black-clothed man stop, and the leader at the lead, out of breath, took off the black mask on his face after a while, revealing several familiar faces.

These people are none other than Feng Dian and Chu Qing.
