On the night when Zhang Xutuo arrived at the battlefield in Wagang Village, the Wagang Army took advantage of its familiarity with the terrain and launched a tentative sneak attack at night. Fortunately, the Sui soldiers stationed on the high ground were noticed in time and immediately fired the gong to call the police. The Sui general Kan, who was responsible for the night, immediately led the army to attack, and then retreated from the sneak attack of the Wagang Army. Zhang Xutuo's team, who was tired from afar, was able to rest for a night of peace and quickly recovered a lot of physical strength.

Zhang Xutuo and others in Qi County were able to rest with peace of mind, but the next morning when Zhang Xutuo came to Qiao Peng Sui Army camp to discuss a plan to defeat the enemy, he found that Chen Yingliang was greeted with dark circles, yawning Liantian's face full of sleep, and even sneezing seemed to have caught a cold. Zhang Xutuo couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Boy Chen, what's wrong? Didn't have a good rest last night?"

"Don't mention it, I almost didn't close my eyes." Chen Yingliang replied dejectedly, sneezed again, and then rubbed his nose and said, "I was fussed all night, without a quilt, and I caught some cold."

"Because of the sneak attack last night by the Wagang thief?" Zhang Xutuo was even more puzzled and asked again: "The sneak attack last night was not large in scale. You made arrangements in advance. You can rest with confidence and need not sleep all night?"

If you continue, you will definitely reveal your feelings. Chen Yingliang had no choice but to say that it was only two days after his own army arrived at the battlefield in Wagangzhai. The fortifications of the camp had not been fully constructed yet, so he was a little worried. He inspected the camp many times at night and supervised the battle himself. So he didn't sleep well. Zhang Xutuo believed it and smiled and said, "Boy, learn a little. When the camp is not stable, just arrange more night teams. There is no need to worry about not sleeping all night. The leader of the army must keep his energy, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes on the battlefield, and the losses will only be greater."

Thanking Zhang Xutuo's guidance timidly, Chen Yingliang invited Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben and other leaders of the Sui army in Qi County to enter the central army tent and sit down to discuss strategies to break the enemy. As a result, Zhang Xutuo, who had witnessed the terrain of Wagang Village with his own eyes, did not propose a tactic of frontal attack. He just asked Chen Yingliang to use his good conspiracy and tricks to lure the main force of the Wagang Army out of the camp to fight decisively, first annihilate the main force of the Wagang Army in the field, and then easily break the camp.

"Ambassador, I will definitely think about the way to lure the enemy into a decisive battle, but I have to give me some time." Chen Yingliang said in advance: "The officials believe that our two armies should first be based on guard. First, deep ditches and high bases, set up camps, and prevent Wagang thieves who are familiar with the terrain from sneak attacking, and then plotting to destroy the thieves. Anyway, Wagang thieves rely on robbery and transportation to replenish food and grass, and the food and grass savings in the thieves will definitely not be much. Even if they waste some time to confront them, the ones that cannot be consumed will definitely be Wagang thieves. As long as the Wagang thieves are forced to abandon the village and break through, we will be sure to win."

If Chen Yingliang really wanted to capture Wagang Village, he would definitely use this reasonable tactic of playing to the strengths and avoiding weaknesses. Therefore, after listening to Chen Yingliang's suggestions, Zhang Xutuo not only did not notice that Chen Yingliang did not want to attack Wagang Village at all, but also nodded repeatedly, praising Chen Yingliang's words for being reasonable and immediately accepted this tactic. However, after accepting and accepting, Zhang Xutuo still reminded: "Yingliang, the tactic of firming the walls is correct, but the total of you and our army still has about 40,000 troops, and the daily food and grass consumption is huge. At the same time, if the main force of your and our army stays here for a long time, the rear will inevitably change, so you still have to find a way to break the village as soon as possible and not to hold on to the idea of ​​confrontation and consumption."

Chen Yingliang nodded and agreed, thinking about how long it would take to receive the imperial edict from Emperor Yang of Sui. Then Zhang Xutuo suddenly said: "Yingliang, do you think it is better to stand there in the camp of our Qi County team? Should you stand together with you? Or just set up camp directly at the location where we camped last night?"

After saying that, Old Man Zhang Xutuo also gave a wink at Jia Wuben. Jia Wuben, who had agreed with Old Man Zhang, understood and immediately said with a smile: "Amusement, Deputy Envoy, let the Qi County team set up a camp in the rear. Last night, the location of our camping camp was very good. The surrounding terrain was flat and the view was wide. The river next to the camp was abundant and it was convenient to get water. It was an ideal camp to set up a camp."

Zhang Xutuo nodded and praised and accepted it directly. However, the people on Chen Yingliang's side were anxious. Yuan Tiangang, who had been led a lot, quickly winked at Chen Yingliang's company and asked Chen Yingliang to oppose the decision to establish a battalion - just kidding, let the Qi County army set up a battalion in the rear, then Qiao Peng Sui army would have to bear all the sneak attacks and harassment from Wagang Village. At the same time, once the Wagang army sent troops, Qiao Peng Sui army would still be the cannon fodder in front. Qiao Peng Sui army had never suffered such a loss.

Of course, Chen Yingliang knew that Old Man Zhang wanted to take advantage of him again, but he was not anxious to object. After a moment of circumcision, Chen Yingliang then smiled and asked, "Ambassador, General Jia, is it better to stand together and stand together, so it is more convenient to take care of each other?"

"It's too crowded." Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben said in unison: "We have carefully observed the situation around your camp and feel that the terrain in this area is still a little narrower, and it's still appropriate to only station your army, but if we stand together, it's too crowded."

After saying that, Jia Wuben said with a smile: "Also, if you insist on standing together, the fences and fortifications you just built by Deputy Envoy will have to be changed again. It is too troublesome. In order not to let the soldiers of your army work in vain, we should set up the camp behind you. Deputy Envoy Chen and Ambassador Zhang are so old, so you can suffer a little."

"General Jia, I'm not afraid of losing." Chen Yingliang said without blushing: "I just think that our 40,000 troops are all stationed outside the main gate of Wagang Zhe Village. It's a waste of power. It's better to do this. Our army continues to station outside the main gate of Wagang Zhe Village, and trouble your army to move to the back gate of Wagang Zhe Village to set up a camp. In this way, it can block all the Wagang Zhe Village roads and find no opportunity to plunder food and supplies, and can also attack Wagang Zhe Village in a critical moment, causing the thief army to be attacked from both sides and fall into a dilemma."

Before Chen Yingliang finished speaking, Qiao Peng Wenwu present had all changed his face. Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben were both happy and immediately said in unison: "Good idea, just do this. We will move to the back of Wagang Zhe Village and set up a camp outside their back door."

As a result, even Wei Zheng, who was kind-hearted, couldn't stand it anymore and immediately stood up and said, "Deputy Envoy, you haven't visited the back door of Wagang Zhe Village to inspect the terrain, right? The back door road of Wagang Zhe Village is half narrower than the front door road, and it is not suitable for troops to fight. Ambassador Zhang moved his troops there, and Wagang Zhe would definitely come directly at us?"

"The road to the back door of Wagang Zhe Village is so narrow?" Chen Yingliang was stunned and said in a daze: "Oh no, I really haven't visited the back door of Wagang Zhe Village in person.

"Deputy Envoy Chen, a gentleman's word is as good as a horse." Jia Wuben quickly smiled and said, "You said it yourself just now, please ask us to station behind Wagang Thief Village."

After looking at Jia Wuben's anxious appearance, and then the shameless smile on Old Zhang Xutuo's face, Chen Yingliang then realized that he had been fooled by this Old Man Zhang, and he had already discovered the situation of the back door of Wagang Village. However, he had already said that Chen Yingliang was embarrassed to take it back, so he had to cry and said, "Forget it, Ambassador Zhang is so old, so we need to rest more. We are juniors, so we will suffer some losses."

Hearing Chen Yingliang's insincere words, Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben were of course very happy to laugh. Even praised Chen Yingliang for respecting the elders, which was the only model of the Sui court's respect for the elderly and loving the young. However, the Qiao Peng and Sui army all looked sad, saying that the unlucky situation of the Teng County War was about to happen again. Then Chen Yingliang and Zhang Xutuo made a sign of contact with each other and rushed to lead the army to move. Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben smiled and went back to lead the army to camp.

Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben left happily, but Qiao Peng and other generals complained to Chen Yingliang, condemning Chen Yingliang for not being able to care about his subordinates and insisted on guarding outside the main gate of Wagang Village with wide roads, and let Zhang Xutuo go to the narrow road behind Wagang Village to set up a camp to pick up cheaply - the road was narrow, so there was no need to worry about the Wagang Army going out to attack and being forced to attack Wagang Village, and when Qiao Peng Sui Army outside the main gate was the main force of the attack. The battle was fought by Qiao Peng Sui Army, and the strength was the Qiao Peng Sui Army. In the end, the oil and water would have to be divided equally, so Qiao Peng Sui Army was naturally too disadvantageous.

Chen Yingliang suddenly smiled happier than Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben, and scolded all his subordinates: "A group of idiots, when did you see me taking the initiative to suffer such a big loss? Last time, Teng County was an accident. Zhang Xutuo was unwilling to take advantage of us, so I didn't care. This time, Old Man Zhang wanted to take advantage of us again, so should I take the initiative to take advantage of us? Can I spare him easily?"

"But Ambassador Zhang moved his army outside the back door of Wagang Thief Village, and he had already taken advantage of it?" Qiao Peng and Sui army asked.

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements." Chen Yingliang replied with a smile: "I have a way for the Wagang thieves to only focus on the Qi County team, and will not come at us. Wait for the Wagang thieves and the Qi County team to fight for both losses, aren't we the ones who take advantage?"

Qiao Peng, who knew Chen Yingliang's tricks, was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked Chen Yingliang what tricks he had, which could make the Wagang army stare at Old Man Zhang and not cause trouble for his own army? Chen Yingliang smiled and did not answer, but called Yuan Tiangang in front of him and whispered in his ear: "Go and write a letter to Shan Xiongxin in Mulan's tone, and say that Mulan wants to accept Shan Xiongxin's sister as the ninth concubine. If Shan Xiongxin doesn't want to, just go out of the back door to find him Mulan to ask for someone. Remember, the letter does not need to be complicated, just let Shan Xiongxin know that his sister and Mulan are outside the back door. In addition, write with your left hand and send someone to shoot into the Wagang Thief Village with arrows."

When Yuan Tiangang heard this, he burst into laughter and quickly praised Chen Yingliang for using tricks to respect his elders. He quickly comforted Qiao Peng and others, asking everyone to wait and see the show. Then, without explaining the detailed reasons, he ran to write a letter with his left hand in his arms.

It is conceivable that Chen Yingliang had such a consequence. After the arrows shot into Wagang Village, Shan Xiongxin, who loved his sister, was about to go crazy. He ignored the narrow roads of the back door and did not listen to the persuasion and comfort of Zhai Rang, Xu Shiyi and others. He led the army out of the back door to settle accounts with Mulan. The Wagang army is still extremely united at present. Although he knew that Shan Xiongxin was wrong, he still bit the bullet and let Shan Xiongxin do so. As a result, he was very natural. The Qi County Sui army, who had just moved to the back door, had to fight with the Wagang army.

Fortunately, Zhang Xutuo's team was very strong. Faced with Shan Xiongxin who was in a violent state, he still did not suffer any losses and still beat Shan Xiongxin back again. However, at night, the Wagang Army used its familiarity with the terrain to launch a sneak attack on the Qi County team that was not stable in the camp, but did not come outside the main gate to find trouble for Qiao Peng Sui Army. Of course, the lack of Qiao Peng Sui Army does not mean that Chen Yingliang has no trouble. In order to make good use of Shan Luoli, a cute little prisoner of war, Chen Yingliang had to serve Shan Luoli with one mouthful of food and one sip of water and one night.

He wanted to take advantage and moved to the back door of Wagang Village, but he encountered the Wagang army that did not follow the military principles and insisted on sending troops from the back door to fight against the Sui army in Qi County. Of course, Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben's depressed doubts were conceivable. Because Shan Xiongxin kept asking Mulan for his sister, Jia Wuben, who did not know some special inside information, had to talk to Mulan alone, questioned whether Mulan was really greedy for Shan Xiongxin's sister's beauty, violated military discipline and captured Shan Xiongxin's sister and hid privately. Mulan wanted to cry without tears, shouted for justice, and sweared that she had never seen Shan Xiongxin's sister, let alone forcing Shan Xiongxin's sister to be a concubine.

Finally, if Zhang Xutuo hadn't personally stopped him, Jia Wuben would have wanted to go to Mulan's tent to search himself - it was thanks to Zhang Xutuo's tent, otherwise Jia Wuben would have found some conclusive evidence of the crime in Mulan's tent, making Mulan even more jumping into the Yellow River and unable to clean it.

As for why Mulan jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it clearly, you can imagine that if Jia Wuben found a woman's supplies such as bellybands and meridian belts in Mulan's tent, how could Mulan explain the source of the items?

After two more days, although Shan Xiongxin went to the Qi County team to fight for the people every day and attacked the Qi County camp every night, because the Qi County Sui army was too strong, they returned without success every time. As the Qi County Sui army gradually stabilized, Shan Xiongxin's hope of saving his sister became increasingly slim. In the end, Shan Xiongxin had no choice. After being forced to retreat to the mountain village again, he couldn't help crying loudly in front of the Wagang army, kowtowed to his hometown ancestral grave, accusing his deceased parents, and crying for his guilt for not protecting his sister.

"Father, mother, the child is unfilial, the child is incompetent, letting his sister fall into the hands of evil people, suffering torture and humiliation, but he is unable to save her back from unfilial children. I'm sorry to you, I'm sorry Yingying's child is guilty-" He cried out loudly, and Shan Xiongxin kowtowed repeatedly until his forehead was bleeding. Everyone in the Wagang army burst into tears. Shan Xiongxin was full of sympathy for his beloved sister who unfortunately fell into the hands of the beast, but he was helpless and had no choice.

"General Shan, don't be sad, I can save your sister."

Shi Potian's shocking voice suddenly came, and Shan Xiongxin's crying stopped abruptly. Everyone turned around in surprise, but they saw that Li Mi, who was living here, was following Wang Bodang and Yang Jishan from left to right. They were surprised and watched by everyone. Li Mi was not nervous, and his black face was still serious and said solemnly: "General Shan, don't worry, I have a plan to save your sister, and I am still very sure."

"Mr. Dharma Master, what are your tricks?" Shan Xiongxin walked to Li Mi's knees, asked anxiously, and bowed and said, "Mr. Dharma Master, if you can save my sister, my life in Shan Xiongxin will be yours. Go to the mountain of swords and go through fire and water, and you will never frown after three swords and six holes."

"General Shan doesn't have to give this gift, please get up quickly." Li Mi quickly bent down to support Shan Xiongxin and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I just need to write a letter to Chen Yingliang, the deputy envoy of the 12 counties of the government army, and ask him to release your sister, and your sister will be able to return to you."

Shan Xiongxin's pleading expression suddenly solidified, and the generals of the Wagang Army next to him were all stunned. Xu Shiyu shouted: "My surname is Li, are you playing with Brother Shan, right? What a joke? Can you get a letter to reply to Shan Xiaomei?"

"I'm not joking." Li Mi shook her head apart and said firmly: "Please rest assured General Shan. Although I am not sure about doing this, I am at least 80% sure to save your sister."

Seeing Li Mi's expression so serious, not to mention that the Wagang Army members were even more stunned, even Yang Jishan and Wang Bodang were confused by Li Mi's side. They didn't understand why Li Mi was so sure. Shan Xiongxin hugged the glimmer of hope and asked: "Mr. Master, do you have a very friendly relationship with Chen Yingliang?"

"No friendship." Li Mi shook her head and said seriously: "Not only did I have no friendship with him, but I also had an irreconcilable grudge, but I can be sure that I must have hope to ask him for your sister."

"Why?" Shan Xiongxin was completely confused. "You have an irreconcilable grudge with him, and can you still get my sister back from him?"

"Because you don't know Chen Yingliang's character very much." Li Mi said seriously: "Although this traitor is extremely cunning and scheming, I admire him in terms of character. General Shan, you may have never heard of Chen Yingliang. Before he made his debut, his fiancée, who was accused of marrying, almost committed suicide. However, after he became famous, he repayed his grievances with kindness and asked for a pardon for his enemies, which was said to be a great talk."

After saying that, Li Mi briefly explained the matter between Chen Yingliang and Lao Chai family, introduced Chen Yingliang's noble virtue of repaying grievances with kindness, and then said: "General Shan, Chen Yingliang is a proud and arrogant person, and he is also a person who treats prisoners well and never kills innocent people. He must be disdainful to use your young sister who is only fourteen years old to threaten and force him. His official position is far above that Mulan, so I only ask him to agree, and your sister will definitely come back."

"Can it work?" Shan Xiongxin was a little skeptical.

"I think there is hope." Bing Yuanzhen, the early think tank of Wagang Army, spoke with a serious expression: "I have seen Chen Yingliang. His amazing momentum of being aware of the world is definitely not something that a villain can show. He will definitely not be able to do the abuse and humiliation of a fourteen-year-old girl, so I think the advice of Mr. Master of the Dharma will work."

Shan Xiongxin became even more speechless and subconsciously turned his gaze to Zhai Rang, the current leader of the Wagang Army. Zhai Rang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then give it a try. I will write a letter for Chen Yingliang personally and ask him to release him."

"King Zhai, please let me write this letter." Li Mi said quickly: "I know Chen Yingliang's personality weaknesses of fond of fame, and he is more confident in his words to his preferences."

For the sake of Shan Xiongxin, Zhai Rang certainly would not refuse Li Mi's request. He immediately asked someone to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to let Li Mi make a book on the spot. Li Mi was not polite, and immediately wrote a sincere letter in public. He begged Chen Yingliang to stop Mulan's lewd and evil deeds in view of benevolence, righteousness and filial piety, and release Shan Yingying to return to Wagang Village. If there is any grudge, he will be solved with real swords and guns on the battlefield. Then Li Mi even more rudely signed his name at the end of the letter - Li Mi Li Mi

He carefully checked that Li Mi did not use any secret words in the letter to make trouble. Zhai Rangcai, who did not trust Li Mi very much, sent someone to the camp of Qiao Peng Sui Army. At the same time, he also sent a gift to Chen Yingliang with the letter. Then the members of the Wagang Army and Shan Xiongxin could only wait for Chen Yingliang to reply with fear.

The Wagang Army members and Shan Xiongxin were worried, and Wang Bodang and Yang Jishan were even more worried. As soon as they found the opportunity to talk alone, Wang Bodang immediately asked Li Mi: "Mr., are you really sure? If this matter is messed up, then your reputation in Wagang Village will be ruined immediately."

"Master, are you playing too much?" Yang Jishan was also very worried and said, "Although Chen Yingliang's little thief is a bit reasonable in terms of character and never kills prisoners and abuses prisoners, is it too unlucky for him to release Shan Xiongxin's sister with a letter?"

"A letter can indeed make Chen Yingliang release people. But..." Li Mi's tone began to calm down, and then suddenly became extremely solemn, and said firmly: "But, this letter was written by me, so he will release people and will never refuse."

Wang Bodang and Yang Jishan looked at each other, and became even more puzzled and confused. They didn't understand what Li Mi meant? Li Mi refused to explain another sentence, but said in his heart: "Chen Xiaozi, don't you want to fatten me and then kill me? He also deliberately guided me to come to Wagang to fatten. This is your best opportunity. I believe you will never refuse."

It was getting darker, but the envoy who came out of the main gate still did not come back. The Wagang army guarded the front gate and looked at it. Shan Xiongxin was so anxious that he turned around the circle with his hands behind his back, and was anxious. Wang Bodang and Yang Jishan stood around Li Mi and were nervous, but Li Mi was still calm, behaved as usual, and as steady as Mount Tai.

"I'm back"

When it was dark, the envoy who had sent to contact Chen Yingliang to negotiate finally returned to Wagang Village. Shan Xiongxin rushed to the envoy with a step forward, so nervous that he even trembled with his voice, "How is it? Did Chen Yingliang agree?"

"Agree." The envoy of Wagang Army nodded and said, "Chen Yingliang asked me to bring a message back to all the kings, saying that he would definitely find Brother Shan, your sister and put her back. It just took him a little time because Mulan was not his direct subordinate. He had to convince Zhang Xutuo first, and then he could force Mulan to return your sister."

After saying that, the messenger also presented the gift he brought before and explained: "Chen Yingliang said he didn't want our gift. Although he was our enemy, he didn't bother to be a 14-year-old girl, so there was no need to give gifts to thank him. But when we arrived at the battlefield between the two armies, we should not expect him to show mercy."

A big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and Shan Xiongxin's tears suddenly burst out from his eyes. He immediately turned to Shan Xiongxin, bowing his head and saluting. Li Mi quickly stopped him and said in a deep voice: "General Shan, there is no need for this. Ling Mei has not returned safely yet, so don't rush to thank me."

Shan Xiongxin's body shook, and then he remembered that Chen Yingliang had just promised to release the person but had not really released him. He said tremblingly: "Mr. Master, then did Chen Yingliang go back on his word before?"

Li Mi smiled on her black face and said, "I have never been able to do anything treacherously. In order to facilitate the convenience of doing treacherous things, he never regrets even when he is to the enemy."

Shan Xiongxin showed an ecstatic expression, Li Mi smiled on his face, but he said in his heart: "Chen Xiaozi, you and I are both confidants and enemies. I can guess your thoughts, and you can understand my thoughts. I can have an enemy and confidant like you, and I will have no regrets in this life."

"Damn it, he's quite smart. He can seize such an opportunity to build prestige, which makes me unable to imagine you."

At the same time, in Qiao Peng Sui military camp, Chen Yingliang was also playing with Li Mi's handwritten letters and muttering in his heart. After thinking for a while, Chen Yingliang put the letters on the oil lamp and burned them down while saying in his heart: "However, I can't fulfill you immediately, because you can't know my true purpose. You will fulfill you now. You must take the Wagang army out of the camp to fight to the decisive battle, which will ruin my major event. So you have to wait and fulfill you when I am about to leave."

When the letter gradually turned into ashes and was completely burned down, a personal soldier rushed in outside the central army's tent, saying that the little girl who was locked in Chen Yingliang's tent was making a fuss again, saying that she wanted Mulan to see her immediately, but she refused to say the reason. Chen Yingliang had no choice but to get up and return to the tent, and continued to mutter in his heart, "Shibi Khan, hurry up, if you drag it down, I will be tormented by that little girl to death. The fat meat placed beside her mouth can only be seen but not eaten. It's really painful.
Chapter completed!
