After Xu Ming said this, he turned around and left, leaving a quiet space, leaving Zhao Yun alone, Zhao Yun is not the kind of foolish and loyal person who does not know how to be flexible, otherwise he would not agree to Qingchen's quid pro quo in Langcheng that day, but he will accept this change.

"I've told him everything." Qingchen looked at Xu Ming in front of him and asked.

"Yes, everything is according to the orders of General Lou and the military advisor." Xu Ming nodded. Before leaving, General Lou had said to his humble post that all decisions made during the march should be made according to the advice of the military advisor, but he did not know what the military advisor planned to do next."

"As far as I know, there are 80,000 defenders in Fuji Ridge, and with the cover of the unique terrain, as for whether there are other ambushes in the shadows, I don't know for the time being." Qingchen said. Compared with Langcheng, Zi Tengling is easier to defend and difficult to attack, and General Zhao's matter has not yet been resolved, so it is not advisable to rush it."

"However, our army has come from Feiyan Pass, the soldiers are tired and the horses are tired, and the food and grass are limited, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to our army." Xu Ming opened his mouth and said.

"What the general said is not unreasonable, but when the army marches and fights, we must not make rash moves; knowing ourselves and knowing our opponents is the way to win." Qingchen said. I have already sent someone to Zi Tengling to investigate, plus the scouts sent by the general, presumably there will be news today and tomorrow, and it would be better to prescribe the right medicine when the time comes."

"Everything is according to the commander's orders." Xu Ming nodded when he heard this, and stepped back.

The scouts sent out by Lou Xiyu have not returned, and Zi Tengling has not seen anything unusual.

At night, about the end of the day, darkness reigned in the whole of the vine ridge, and the only thing was the candles lit in the tents and the torches in the hands of the soldiers of the night watch.

The moonlit night sky was bright, and a black shadow passed through the dense forest of the back mountain, and with his unparalleled light skills, he escaped the guards and entered Qingchen's tent, but he saw Qingchen sitting and waiting to read a book, as if he was waiting for him to arrive.

"Childe, my subordinate is back." Nightshade walked up to Qingchen and bowed.

"How's it going? Qingchen put down the book in his hand, looked at the night dead who had returned intact, and then breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"My subordinates have heard three pieces of news." Nightshade frowned slightly, and said to Qingchen.

"Tell me about it." Qingchen leaned back in his chair and watched the night fall.

"First, the number of people in Zi Tengling is not only 80,000, but nearly 120,000, and among these 120,000 people, more than 30,000 are Gu Yanzhao's soldiers and horses. Second, Peng Guan doesn't know where he heard the news of General Zhao's military camp and captured General Zhao's wife and daughter in Lingzhou's hometown; third, Peng Guan is good at defending battles, and Gu Yanzhao is good at attacking. Nightshade brought the news he got from going to Zi Fuji Ridge one by one.

"None of the three messages are good for us." Qingchen heard the words and said.

"Childe, General Zhao's wife and daughter were arrested, do you want to tell him?" Tomorrow asks at this time.

"Don't do it for the time being.Since the other party knows how to threaten him with General Zhao's wife and daughter.That means that Mrs. Zhao and Miss Zhao are not in any danger for the time being.We have to find another way to rescue Mrs. Zhao's mother and daughter.But Gu Yanzhao is strong in martial arts.It's not easy to avoid being discovered by him." Qingchen said. You're all going out first, let me think about it alone."

"The subordinates are just outside the door. Tomorrow listened, nodded, spoke, and walked out with Nightfall.

Qingchen sat alone in the tent, the candles in the tent flickered, casting her shadow on the tent, and the shadow jumped around as the candle flame flickered.

She closed her eyes, thinking back to the terrain of Zi Tengling, as well as the surrounding available environment, combined with the news of the night death, and felt that this matter was not easy. Peng Guan and Gu Yanzhao were not simple-minded people, and even knew how to use hostages to make her throw a rat trap.

If you can't rescue Mrs. Zhao's mother and daughter, General Zhao will definitely not be sincere, then it will be more difficult to face the tight defense of Zi Tengling, not to mention, there are 120,000 horses in the open and dark places of Zi Tengling, which is not much different from the Tianxing Kingdom.

Just when Qingchen was at a loss, her mind suddenly recalled the scene of the battle in her previous life. At that time, there was a resourceful Ye Xi by her side, who would often make up for things she didn't think through, and there were three thousand hidden guards for her to send to carry out tasks that ordinary soldiers couldn't accomplish.

If they were all still around, she wouldn't be tied up, she would just sit and meditate, but she couldn't do anything.

The enemy she is facing now...... Gu Yanzhao.Peng Guan.

These two names flashed in his mind.Qingchen's thoughts kept turning.One is good at attacking.One is good at defending.Cooperate tacitly.Invulnerable.How can I crack the defense of Zi Tengling.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Qingchen's mind, as if something had flashed, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Although offense and defense complement each other, you can think about it from another angle, and it may not be that they kill each other.

Thinking of this, Qingchen suddenly said loudly outside: "Tomorrow, go and call General Xu over."

Tomorrow he received the order and left, and after a while, he and Xu Ming entered Qingchen's tent one after another.

Qingchen spread the map of Zi Tengling on the desk, and beckoned Xu Ming to come over, and his finger lightly swiped over the topographic map, from left to right, and explained all the possible places for ambush and counterattack.

"Wouldn't this be too dangerous?" Xu Ming listened to Qingchen's idea, frowned, and asked, seemingly disagreeing with Qingchen's opinion.

"Is there any other way for General Xu?" Qingchen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"We can find someone else to replace us, and Master Mu doesn't have to put himself at risk." Xu Ming said. Mu Junshi is personally appointed by the emperor, and if there is any mistake, I don't know how to explain to the emperor and General Lou."

"Isn't it to find someone else to implicate innocent people?" Qingchen smiled. What's more, I have a certain degree of certainty before I propose such a method, and as for the matter of marching and fighting, I have to ask General Xu to consider it before it can be implemented."

"Tomorrow, I'll send a team of men and horses to Zi Fuji Ridge for a little trial, and I'll make plans when the scouts sent out come back." Xu Ming listened to Qingchen's words, thought about it, and finally spoke.

"Well, I'll wait for the general's reply." Qingchen nodded.

Seeing Xu Ming walk out, Qingchen looked at the map on the table again, and meditated silently.

On the surface, the three pieces of news that Nightfall brought back were very unfavorable to the Celestial Star Kingdom, but if you think about it from another angle, these unfavorable factors can be converted into favorable conditions.

Although there are a large number of defenders in Tengling, some of them are Gu Yanzhao's old subordinates, who belong to the original Gu family army, and Peng Guan's men and horses are actually not in unison, and they can't work together, so naturally they can't cooperate better; Gu Yanzhao is good at attacking, and Peng Guan is good at guarding, and they seem to be performing their own duties.

As for General Zhao's wife and daughter, since no one can beat Gu Yanzhao, then let her go out in person.

The second day of the sixth month of the fourth year of Cheng'an.

Xu Ming had just left Qingchen's tent, and Qingchen's plan had just been finalized, and it was just when everything was silent, but there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside the tent.

"Newspaper .. The enemy attacked the grain and grass at night with the intention of setting fire."

Suddenly, the sound of a soldier's announcement sounded outside the tent, Qingchen immediately got up from his chair, stared at the outside with burning eyes, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"And it did." He spit out these words lightly, Qingchen opened the tent, and strode out.

"Strategist." When Qingchen walked out of the tent, Xu Ming happened to come out of his tent, and when he saw Qingchen, he greeted him. The military advisor expected it to be good."

"Our army has been rushing for days, tired of running for their lives, but the soldiers of Ningyue are waiting for work. Tonight is their best time to sneak attack. If we wait for our army to recover, it will be even more difficult to attack at night." Qingchen sneered, everything was as she expected.

"But I'm afraid that half of our army's grain and grass will be lost, so it is imminent to break through the Zi Tengling." Although Xu Ming was deeply impressed by Qingchen's clever calculation, he still said worriedly.

"The general is waiting to see a good show." The corners of Qingchen's mouth curled up in a beautiful arc, and the silver mask shimmered in the moonlight.

Xu Ming followed behind Qingchen and went to the place where the grain and grass were hoarded, but saw that the soldiers guarding the grain and grass had blocked the other party's escape route.

"The general has an order, don't let it be killed." In the dark, I don't know who shouted like this, but I saw the soldiers of the Heavenly Star Country hulala carrying swords and guns and rushed up, so they exchanged hands with the soldiers of the Ning Moon Country.

It was a taboo for a lone army to go deep into the enemy camp, and most of the soldiers who were sent to burn the grain and grass of the Celestial Star Country also knew that they were only here to send them to death, but in line with the principle of desperately pulling a cushion, they did not tie their hands and capture them quickly, but they fought hard.

The fire was quickly extinguished.The burning grain and grass were rescued.Finally, there was still some left.The faces of the soldiers of the Heavenly Star Kingdom still had blood stains from the battle.Some regretted.Some sighed.
