On the side of Ruicheng, Lin Zheng took Li Zhengzhi, Qian Weimin, the two commanders, and more than 100,000 soldiers back to Ruicheng to regain their roots.

After setting up the soldiers, Lin Zheng walked into the big tent with Li Zhengzhi and Qian Weimin with a heavy face.

"My lord......" Li Zhengzhi knelt in front of Lin Zheng as soon as he entered the big tent: "The responsibility for the loss of Yanqian City this time is all under his subordinates, and if it is a command mistake of his subordinates, please punish the commander-in-chief!"

Hearing Li Zhengzhi's words, Lin Zheng's face was still solemn, he didn't speak and walked to his place and sat down in silence.

Seeing this, Li Zhengzhi's heart tightened, thinking that Lin Zheng was thinking about killing himself, and secretly thought about how to survive.

Qian Weimin also thought that Lin Zheng had the intention of killing Li Zhengzhi, so he quickly knelt down and pleaded: "My lord, this is not all the fault of Li Zhengzhi's leadership, the 200,000 elites in Luoyan Pass are all well-equipped, especially the armor-piercing arrows are difficult to stop its sharpness even if it is a heavy shield, and our army can't stand the city at all." ”

"You ......"

Lin Zheng just spoke, but before he could continue, Li Zhengzhi interrupted: "My lord, I am mainly responsible for this defeat, during the war, I lost my mind because of my hatred for Li Fengxian's last explosion, otherwise we would never have been defeated so badly, and we were even driven out of Yanqian City without even having a chance to engage in hand-to-hand combat." ”

Li Zhengzhi thought about it for a long time, but decided to take the initiative to take it all, maybe only in this way can he live.

"I see. Lin Zheng nodded, he actually had doubts in his heart, why Yanqian City would still save so many troops after the loss of it, it turned out that he had not even been in close combat, and was directly pressed out of Yanqian City by archers.

"Please punish me. Li Zheng bowed his head and asked for punishment, at this time he was also ruthless, muttering to himself in his heart that the big deal is what to be afraid of if he dies.

"My lord, Commander Li is an important talent, don't be impulsive when you go. Qian Weimin hurriedly followed.

"I didn't say I'm going to cut him down. Lin Zheng shook his head: "I am also responsible for this matter, I fell for Li Fengxian's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so that the support force was insufficient, so this situation was caused." ”

"My lord, why don't you speak all the time?" Qian Weimin was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Li Zhengzhi.

Li Zhengzhi was already sweating all over the sky at this time, and his clothes in the iron armor were all wet with sweat, obviously without the ruthlessness just now, and the rest was just rejoicing.

Lin Zheng naturally saw Li Zhengzhi's embarrassment, and said with an unchanged face: "It's a good thing to dare to take responsibility, but the battle of will is a taboo in the army, and you should be severely punished." ”

Li Zhengzhi knew that Lin Zheng had already let himself go when he said this, so he didn't dare to speak anymore and just kept nodding his head.

"But now that the war is tight, I don't have time to promote an excellent general, so you have to take back Yanqian City for me. Lin Zheng looked at Li Zhengzhi: "Can you do it?"

"Yes, yes, my subordinates will definitely be able to!" Li Zhengzhi was afraid that Lin Zheng would not see half of it, so he couldn't stop nodding.

"Go back and write me a copy of the details of the battle situation, let the soldiers rest and rest today, and don't train. Lin Zheng waved his hand to signal Li Zhengzhi to leave and called Qian Weimin: "Commander Qian stays." ”

"Yes. Qian Weimin nodded, stood in place and watched Li Zhengzhi leave.

"Commander Qian, this Yanqian City and Jinfu City have both been attacked by the Chu army, why don't you have Tai'an City alone?" Lin Zheng asked casually.

Qian Weimin was originally a little worried about this matter, but when he heard Lin Zheng ask, the cold sweat fell: "My subordinates don't know, please ask the commander to investigate!"

"There's something you can't check. Lin Zheng smiled lightly: "It's nothing more than sowing discord or something, the three cities are alone, Tai'an City has not been attacked, Yanqian City has been attacked, you went to support and there was no short-handed encounter, everything looks suspicious, but it is very deliberate." ”

"My lord is discerning!" Qian Weimin breathed a sigh of relief, although the commander of his family was young, he had a clear mind, and he was a little suspicious, and he was a wise man.

"Do I look young?" Lin Zheng asked Qian Weimin.

"Huh?" Qian Weimin was suddenly asked by Lin Zheng, a little confused, because he didn't know the specific meaning of Lin Zheng, he could only answer truthfully: "It looks young......"

"It's like a fledgling hairy boy. Lin Zheng followed Qian Weimin's words and said.

Qian Weimin smiled and didn't dare to take it, although Lin Zheng was young, he was his boss in the end, and his life and death were only between Lin Zheng's words.

"What does Li Fengxian explain with this ridiculous strategy?" Lin Zheng asked Qian Weimin again.

Qian Weimin looked at Lin Zheng and thought for a while, but he didn't come up with a reason.

"It shows that he despises me. Lin Zheng said with a smile.

"I'm very young, and Li Fengxian thinks I'm just a fledgling hairy boy, and I can play with a little tricks. Lin Zheng smiled very happily, despising the enemy is the beginning of defeat.

Qian Weimin nodded but didn't speak, in fact, he also guessed what Lin Zheng meant, but he didn't dare to say this kind of thing.

"Since he Li Fengxian thinks I'm young, then we'll act in a play. As soon as Lin Zheng raised his hand, he picked up the pen and paper, and it was a piece of military order written to Qian Weimin.

"What is this?" Qian Weimin was puzzled when he saw that the military order turned out to be the military power that recalled 30,000 troops from his own hands, this is the drama that Lin Zheng said?

"You first take 20,000 troops back to Tai'an City to train troops outside the city as usual, and at night I will avoid the eyes of Luoyan Pass and send soldiers to quietly enter Tai'an City in batches, and when Li Fengxian believes that I suspect you, the 100,000 troops will be almost all hidden in Tai'an City, and when he attacks him, he will receive this great gift from me. Lin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, this was the opportunity that Li Feng gave him first, and he must seize it.

"I took 20,000 soldiers back to train the soldiers in order to give the spies of the Chu State a false impression, so that Li Fengxian felt that you were already suspicious of me, and then you quietly transported the troops into Tai'an City without knowing it, so that when Li Fengxian led the army over, he would find that there were 100,000 troops in Tai'an City!" Qian Weimin couldn't help but secretly admire Lin Zheng's resourcefulness after thinking about it.

"Not bad. Lin Zheng nodded with satisfaction, Qian Weimin could understand his plan, and the whole thing would be much easier.

"My subordinates will bring the troops back to Tai'an City!" Qian Weimin was excited, and immediately left the barracks, and only sent 20,000 soldiers to follow him back to guard Tai'an City.

Returning to Tai'an City not far away, Qian Weimin pretended to be annoyed and took out Lin Zheng's military order and crumpled it into a ball and threw it on the ground, and then returned to Tai'an City with his soldiers.

After a while, a Chu State spy walked out, picked up the crumpled note, and brought it back to Luoyan Pass.

Li Fengxian had handed over all the matters of Yanqian City to Jiang Deng to solve, and after leaving a part of the troops, he returned to Luoyan Pass to continue to sit in the town.

Seeing the note sent by the spy, Li Feng first smiled coldly, and then frowned: "Things seem to be going too smoothly......

"You go back and observe for a few more days, and then report back to me after confirming that everything is correct. Li Fengxian decided to be cautious.

"Yes, my lord, a few days ago, we came back from Luoyan Pass, a spy who was left on the Ruian Plain when Hengshan Pass was broken, this matter is very important, do you want your subordinates to bring him to investigate?" said the young spy.

"Can you believe it?" Li Fengxian's eyes were sharp, and he almost weakened the young spy's legs and fell to his knees.

"He is a subordinate teacher, and he has trained many elite military detectives for the Chu State, and he can be trusted. The young spy snapped.

Li Feng thought for a moment and shook his head: "You still go to Tai'an City by yourself, and this person will be arranged in Jinfu City." ”

"Yes, General. The young spy was also overjoyed when he saw that Li Fengxian had included his master in the establishment anew, and withdrew from the room when he nodded.

The young spy returned to his room, where a familiar middle-aged man, Sun Qi, was lying on the bed doing nothing.

"Master, there's a play, the general asked you to go to Jinfucheng to do eyeliner, although we are not together, but we finally have a new task. The young spy said happily.

Seeing that this young man was so happy, Sun Qi felt a trace of guilt in his heart, but when he thought of the days to come, he still suppressed this guilt and pretended to be happy: "In this way, I can continue to serve the Chu State." ”

"We're leaving today, you wait for me to pack up. After the young man finished speaking, he began to load some signal flares for messenger transmission, turned around and walked out of Luoyan Pass with Sun Qi.

At night, after Sun Qi greeted the spies of Jin Fucheng, he came to the position where he should be guarding, but Sun Qi took advantage of the night to come to Ruicheng to meet Lin Zheng.

"My lord, I have joined the establishment from a new level, and now I continue to work as a spy at the back gate of Jinfu City. Sun Qi didn't know if it was because of his weak heart or what, his voice was very soft, and he couldn't hear it clearly if he didn't listen carefully.

"Something on your mind?" Lin Zheng asked after being keenly aware of it, if Sun Qi had two hearts here, then he would lose a lot of help to capture Li Fengxian's movements.

Sun Qi's expression was entangled, and he raised his head for a long time: "My lord, Sun Qi has something to ask for." ”

"Tell me about it. Lin Zheng frowned and said, if Sun Qi's request was not excessive, he could accept it.

"There is a young spy outside the city of Tai'an, I would like to ask your lord to raise your hand and ask if you can spare his life after capturing him in the future. Sun Qi knelt on his knees and pleaded.

"Do you know him?" asked Lin Zheng.

"My apprentice, I used to serve as an instructor in the Chu State for a period of time, specializing in training newcomers to become spies. Sun Qi did not hide it, but said sincerely.

"Can this person be of my use?" Lin Zheng asked.

"I'm afraid I can't ......" Sun Qi remembered this person's enthusiasm during training, it was a kind of enthusiasm that belonged to young people, this enthusiasm he had lost, but his apprentice had not.

"Then why did I spare his life?" Lin Zheng asked coldly.

"I ......" Sun Qi's hand squeezed the two gold ingots in his arms, and finally took out one and put it in front of Lin Zheng: "I used a gold ingot to buy his life, and he didn't eat much for his rotten life, so it was the accommodation and food expenses after you caught him......"
