It was dawn and the battle at the North Gate of Queensland was over.

The panic-torn fighting had stopped, and there was no movement of large numbers of soldiers rushing along the streets. When the people in the city noticed this, the stones in their hearts finally landed safely, but they were still nervous. They were at home and could not know the external situation.

Fortunately, after a while, the sound of banging gongs erupted again, and the sound of warning people not to go out sounded again from the doors of each house: "Don't panic, fellow villagers, the rebellious barbarians who attacked our Queensland have been completely defeated by our Dingxi Army, and Queensland is completely safe..."

These loud preachings fell into the hearts of everyone like a reassurance. This time I was completely relieved. Yes, this is Kunzhou City, and the first city in southern Yunnan that the Dingxi Hou led the Dingxi Army to guard. How could a mere rebel barbarian threaten?

At this moment, the people of the whole city developed a strong sense of trust in the Dingxi Army, just as the panic before did not come from them. Many people even started preparing food and tea, and just waited for the martial law to open, everyone went out to reward the soldiers who had made contributions to defending the city.

At this time, although the people in the city were still at home, everyone was in the same mood. Everyone was celebrating the victory of this great battle. The only exception might be Mo Li and others. They waited uneasyly, but they were waiting for such a result. The feeling of failing expectations was a very heavy blow to everyone.

However, while feeling disappointed, many people were still grateful. Judging from the results, Queensland City was indeed prepared, which means that the previous warning was also true. If they fought out desperately at that time, they would probably die earlier and more miserable than the barbarians who attacked the North Gate.

So when you think about it carefully, their plan was failed, but the losses were minimized. All of this has to be attributed to the fact that they were calm and forced to hold down their military advisors. When these remnants of Huntian Army looked at Mo Li with some admiration, they found that their military advisors were stunned at this moment, completely in a state of dismay.

"Military advisor..." Someone noticed something was wrong and quickly called it, which made Mo Li come back to his senses quickly and waved his hands: "I'm fine, you all stay here with peace of mind. There should be no danger in a short period of time. I... I'll take a rest first." As he said that, he staggered out and went out to his residence.

It was not until he entered the house and closed the door that his face turned pale and his body trembled even more. What followed was a heart-wrenching cough. This cough was more violent than ever before, and he finally collapsed on the bed, with even more blood flowing down the corners of his mouth.

But Mo Li didn't care at this time, and a question kept circling in his mind - he was defeated, and he was extremely miserable.

This time, he arranged the entire plan to seize Kunzhou and kill Xiao Ding. For this final success, he had been dormant for ten years and worked hard to set up the situation. It can be said that he had calculated all aspects. From Qianzhou to southern Yunnan, from Han people to barbarians, everyone's reaction should be as expected.

In fact, everything that happened a while ago also confirmed this idea. Qianzhou is under control and southern Yunnan has fallen on the verge of chaos. As long as Kunzhou can fight, the task will be completed!

But in the end, all plans failed at this last step!

Not only did Queensland fail to win, Xiao Ding was still there, but he also exposed his many strengths to the government. In this way, he could imagine how terrible counterattack they would encounter next. Everything was that he underestimated his opponent and actually saw through his arrangements earlier, thus tearing this "Skynet" apart, and instead trapped all the barbarians who could help him.

"I can't be discouraged. I must think of leaving here as soon as possible. I must cheer up..." Mo Li, who was lying on the bed, kept cheering himself up. He thought of the more complete failure ten years ago. At that time, he was not defeated by terrible despair, and he could not fall down today!

But although he thought so in his heart, Mo Li also understood that the two failures were different. At that time, the defeat of the Huntian Army was not his fault. It was because the Heavenly King insisted on taking the risk to attack An Ning, but he didn't persuade him. But this time, everything was dominated by him, but he still lost. How could this blow be compared to the previous time?

What Mo Li was even more confused about was that what went wrong? His plan was so linked, and what was the omission that made them notice the problem and make targeted arrangements? Also, even though the soldiers and horses in the city were sent out to search for Sun Bi's whereabouts, how could there be so many soldiers guarding the North Gate and even annihilate thousands of barbarians in one fell swoop?

Mo Li couldn't understand this question at this moment. But for the leader of this battle, this was a simple thing-

As the war ended, military newspapers from all sides gathered, and Xiao Ding could finally see a few smiles on his face: "Okay, all the generals and the soldiers of our Dingxi Army have worked hard this time. This time, the rebellion of the barbarians will be defeated, and everyone will make great contributions. This marquis will reward you by discussing the merits!"

This was heard by the generals around them, making them even more happy and excited. They clasped their fists and replied: "The last generals dare not take credit. It is because the marquis has good commands, which makes us have an absolute advantage from beginning to end."

"Haha, you don't need to say much about these flattery words. If you really want to make a contribution, I dare not take it alone. The first contribution will naturally belong to Lord Li!" Xiao Ding said, looking at Li Ling, who was quite low-key on the side. If he hadn't forced him to pull him, he would probably not have stayed here.

Li Ling felt embarrassed when he was staring at this by so many people, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Mr. Marquis Yan Chong, I'm just talking nonsense, I dare not claim any credit."

"Haha, Wen Zhong, you are too humble. If even such credits are called verbalizing, then how can the counselors and strategists in each army handle themselves? How can they say that they can plan and win a thousand miles?" Xiao Ding said as he walked up, patted Li Ling's shoulder hard, and almost staggered him.

"Secretary..."

"There is no exaggeration in this sentence. If you hadn't noticed that the situation was different in time and came to see me and advise me, I was afraid that my Kunzhou City would be in danger this time. After all, there were not many soldiers in the city at that time, and it was obvious to everyone that many of the barbarians had come. If that were true, no matter how high or deep the Kunzhou city was, I would be afraid that I would not be able to defend it." After interrupting Li Ling's humble words, Xiao Ding said again.

Now Li Ling is really not able to deny his credit too much, because it is indeed the case.

Two days ago, when he woke up and woke up, he finally figured out what the knot in his heart was before. It was that all this looked so familiar, as if it had been staged somewhere.

After recalling it carefully, he suddenly realized that although the details of various changes are different, the trend is extremely similar to the series of changes before the final fall in Xunyang, Qianzhou that day.

The same chaos that caught people off guard appeared one after another, causing people to passively deal with it, thus accumulating problems until the most fatal blow came, and then the entire city fell.

Today’s Queensland is yesterday’s Xunyang!

After seeing this, a terrible speculation was about to come out. Li Ling did not dare to be negligent at all, so he immediately ran to see Xiao Ding and expressed his guesses and concerns. The central meaning was just one sentence. Whether it was assassination or robbery, it was actually not the ultimate goal of the thieves. What they really wanted was the control of the entire Queensland!

When this bold speculation was sent to Xiao Ding, he was also a little stunned. After all, the risk of doing so was too great. How could the other party dare to take this risk?

Li Ling's answer was very straightforward: "Because the one who guided all this should be Mo Li, who is known as the "Skynet"! This is a terrifying person who has enough strategy and patience to weave a big net for his goal! When he was in Qianzhou, he put the entire Long family into his own net. Today, Kunzhou is his prey in his eyes. The Marquis and all the soldiers of the Dingxi Army are his targets that he wants to catch all of them!"

Thinking of the change in Xunyang and the subsequent chaos in Qianzhou, Xiao Ding quickly accepted this idea, and then put it in front of him was how to break the net.

In fact, it is very simple to really break the opponent's plan. You only need to leave enough troops to defend the city. No matter how many strategic plans are, there is no chance of winning in the face of absolute strength.

However, neither Xiao Ding nor Li Ling could accept such passive response. Such treatment of symptoms but not root causes can make them retreat, but this time, after all, it is only this time, and those guys will make a comeback in the future.

So what they had to do next was to use the tricks so that they thought there was no more garrison power in the city, so that the strength of these rebels could all surface!

It is obviously not easy to do this, because with Mo Li's scheming, he will naturally always pay attention to the mobilization of troops, and even their spies may exist in the city gates or military camps.

At the moment when this problem was difficult to solve, it was Li Ling who gave his own strategy: "Does Marquis know how Dong Zhuo shocked the whole city when he entered Luoyang?"

Xiao Ding was also familiar with the art of military affairs, and immediately replied: "I used a trick of doubting military affairs. I let the Xiliang army enter the city in the daytime, and then quietly go out at night, and then move in the next day. This created the illusion that his troops and horses continued to enter the city."
