When Shi Shi informed the whole army and agreed with Shaodian Yong as the king of Shaodian Kingdom, Chen Chao no longer agreed with the commander of the legion, and secretly contacted the division commander who was familiar with him to discuss leaving the corps station and finding a way to connect with the marshal's mansion.

Especially recently, Chen Chao has been in frequent contact with several division commanders, and they have drawn up a general action plan and plan to start it in the next few days.

Suddenly, hearing a report to the corps headquarters, Chen Chao was worried that the planned operation would fail, and as a result, a large number of patriotic officers and soldiers would encounter accidents.

"Who betrayed us because of our internal conspiracy?"

"Yinghua. Luo Yong spat out two words.

"It's him!" Chen Chao's eyes showed surprise, "The staff officer of the 64th Division, who trusted him so much, betrayed me and us! I'm going to kill him." With that, he walked to the armory rack.

"Hehe, don't worry, listen to what I've said. Yinghua is a staff officer, and when he goes to the headquarters to report it, he must be the first to come to me. After listening to his account, I feigned joy, and set up a banquet in my tent to invite him to drink, deliberately made him drunk, and then arranged for the guards to send him out of the camp, and found a secluded place to sink him to the bottom of the Baitan River. ”

Hearing this, Chen Chao let go of the hand on the hilt of the sword, walked to the guest seat and sat down, and said, "Don't scare the general, make it clear earlier." ”

"Hahaha, you're too anxious, I'm here to make it clear. Also, don't be an adult, the last general, or something, from the moment the Seventh Legion announced its mutiny, you and I are no longer members of the Seventh Legion. There are many more people who listen to your orders than I do, and maybe I'll have to call you an adult in the future. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, your official position is above the last general, and in the future, when the Commander's Mansion rebuilds the Seventh Army, you will definitely still be the commander of the last general. ”

Chen Chao is a general, while Luo Yong is the chief of staff at the level of deputy commander, and the difference between the two official positions is not small.

"No, you and I are on the same level, I'm a few years older than you, and I can barely be your brother. Luo Yong stretched out his hand to stop Chen Chao, who wanted to speak, "That's it, if you say anything, you will look down on me, Brother Chen!"

"This, that, the little brother is better to be respectful, Brother Luo's strategy is above the little brother, how we should escape from the station, I hope you will give me more advice. ”

"Yinghua said that your 62nd, 64th, 65th, 66th and 67th divisions have colluded and plan to rebel out of the garrison together and defect to the imperial court, but I don't know the specific situation, you tell me, let's take a closer look. ”

At this time, Chen Chao did not hesitate, believing that Luo Yong would not come to deceive him and tell him the original plan.

After listening to this, Luo Yong folded his arms and paced in the tent, Chen Chao knew that his habit was to think about problems seriously.

"No, the north side of the west bank of Baitan Creek is mountainous, the road is rugged and difficult to travel, and when Shi Shi reacts, he will definitely have time to catch up from the east bank, as long as they block our eastward advance, we will sooner or later fall into a situation of cutting off food and grass. Luo Yong disagreed with Chen Chao's original plan.

"I can lead the 62nd Division to hold them back. Chen Chao showed a resolute look.

"No, didn't you think about knocking on the headquarters camp?" Luo Yong rummaged through the shelves where the maps were stored.

"Impossible! Not to mention that the deep ditches and high bases of the headquarters battalion are easy to defend and difficult to attack, even the ferry guarded by the 70th Division, we cannot easily pass through, so we will suffer great losses in this way, and it is better to sacrifice our division. Apparently Chen Chao considered this plan.

"There is no need to storm the ferry, five miles south of this place is suitable for crossing the river lightly, and I also know that there is a small road leading directly behind the 70th Division. Luo Yong turned out the full map of the Seventh Army station, and pointed out the route to Chen Chao.

"Even if we cross the river lightly and go around to the rear of the 70th Division, can we capture the ferry in front of the support of the headquarters battalion?" Chen Chao knew the combat effectiveness of the divisions and regiments of his legion.

"So you can't do it, but don't forget that there's me, night attack!" Luo Yong's finger poked hard at the ferry.

"Hey, at the end, how did I forget this stubble!" Chen Chao slapped his thigh, "You can pick him up in the camp of the 70th Division, and catch him off guard, a few brigades are enough." ”

"Well, you and the 67th Division's garrison are next to each other, so you will pick out 2,000 elites from the two divisions, cross the river in the evening, and lurk behind the 70th Division's garrison before midnight, I will arrange for someone to pick you up and enter the camp, and then most of the rest can cross the river from the ferry, and wait for the headquarters battalion to notice, at least three divisions will complete the crossing.

Shi Shi does not know our situation, and will definitely send people to retake the ferry, but there are only three divisions in the headquarters camp, 63, 68 and 69, at most two divisions can be sent, and we can ambush here. Luo Yong marked a point on the map, "The reinforcements will definitely be defeated before dawn, and by then the 65th and 66th divisions have also completed the crossing of the river, and we will join forces to attack the headquarters camp." ”

Chen Chao looked at the map, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, "Wow! We have five divisions, and the division commander only has five divisions, and the most elite 61st division is too far away, so we really have a chance to break through the headquarters camp and take down the rebel division commander." He was used to being Shi Shi's subordinate, and he couldn't change his name to "Shi Shuai" for a while.

"Our greatest grasp is not the superiority of troops, but the morale of the army! The vast majority of the soldiers of the Seventh Army are not from Linhai Prefecture, and they are not willing to betray the kingdom and the imperial court. We are fighting in a hasty indirect battle in the name of the king's division, and our morale is several times that of the other side, even if the 61st Division comes, it will still lose. Luo Yong is confident.

"Okay, I'll send for them to counsel with me right away. Chen Chao hurriedly walked out of the tent, and this time Luo Yong did not stop him.

The 62nd, 64th, 65th, 66th, and 67th divisions were all stationed on the west bank of Baitanxi, which was specially arranged by Shi Shi, because he didn't trust the commanders of these five divisions in his heart, but he couldn't find anyone to replace them in a short time, and the commanders of these five divisions were still under his command on the surface, so they could only monitor and guard for the time being. This objectively makes it more convenient for the five divisions to ventilate with each other.

That night, Chen Chao and Luo Yong secretly came to the 64th Division, which was located in the middle of the five divisions and was also the defense area on the west bank of the ferry, and met with Fei Qing, the commander of the 64th Division, Zeng Duan, the commander of the 65th Division, Niu Jufu, the commander of the 66th Division, and Hou Dudu, the commander of the 67th Division.

After listening to Luo Yong's thoughts, there is no division commander who is not excited, escaping from the corps station and breaking the battalion of the corps headquarters are fundamentally two concepts, and it must be that the latter is more in line with everyone's interests.

"Don't be too happy, knocking on the headquarters camp is not a big problem, but it's not so simple to capture Shi Shi. Our main goal is to break away from the rebels' territory, arrive at the place under the jurisdiction of the imperial court as soon as possible, and contact the commander's office. Luo Yong poured a basin of cold water on everyone.
