…
After getting the information they wanted, Lu Ziming and Xu Sheng looked at each other and immediately said with a smile: "Come here, let Magistrate Jiang loose his bonds."
After being freed from the restraints, Jiang Ying touched the marks on her arms and carefully looked at Lu Ziming who was sitting on top.
"Magistrate Jiang, I just want to ask you one question now, do you want to survive?"
"Of course I thought, as long as the general can spare my life, I am willing to be a cow or a horse."
Lu Ziming said: "Well, I have something to do right now. I would like to ask Magistrate Jiang to do it for me. I hope Magistrate Chiang can go to the south bank camp and persuade Diao Mantu to surrender. I will divide half of the food and grass in the base and withdraw the troops immediately."
When Jiang Ying heard this, she was immediately ecstatic: As long as we can leave this hellish place, then the sky is high and the birds can fly. Do you still care if I persuade you to surrender?
But his face was full of seriousness: "Everything is done according to the general's orders. I will tell you the truth. Master Diao and the villain usually have good social relations. It can be said that he obeys the villain's words. The villain is willing to personally persuade General Diao to surrender to Master Wang!"
"Okay~" Lu Ziming stood up immediately and helped Jiang Ying up personally, "If County Magistrate Jiang can really persuade Diao Mantu to surrender, I will thank you very much!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and there were two soldiers outside the tent, each holding a wooden box. When they opened it, they were filled with jewels and jewels, which was dazzling.
"It's a small gift, but please don't be dissatisfied with it, Magistrate Jiang. There will be a big gift waiting for you when the deal is done."
"This...isn't this good?"
"Hahaha, if the county magistrate doesn't accept it, he won't give Lu a face!"
Hearing what Lu Ziming said, Jiang Ying could only "reluctantly" accept it. After thanking him repeatedly, he went out with two boxes in his arms.
As soon as Jiang Ying left, Lu Ziming immediately put away the hypocritical smile on his face and said to Xu Sheng and Zhu Heng: "Whether or not you can get a boat to cross the river depends on this person."
Zhu Heng was puzzled: "Ziming, what are you talking about?"
Lu Ziming: "This man is different from what he looks like. He will definitely report what he saw in our army to Diao Man Tu. Therefore, I ordered the soldiers to remove their armor and show their fatigue to confuse Jiang Ying. This is to earn Diao Man Tu to lead the attack. When..."
At this point, Lu Ziming stopped talking.
After hearing this, Xu Sheng and Zhu Heng also showed expressions of sudden realization after thinking about it carefully.
…
Knowing that there was enemy troops stationed on the north bank of the river, Diao Mantu naturally did not dare to neglect and rushed to the camp on the south bank with his cronies overnight.
Looking at the faint light of fire on the other side of the river, he was so angry that he couldn't help but curse: "Isn't Dongyi in the north? When did they come here? Zhang Gui and Fuying still claim to be famous generals of Dajin, but they didn't stop them?"
When he thought of the gentle countryside that was far away from him, Diao Mantu couldn't help but feel unhappy. He silently sent his collective greetings to the entire Han army and even the Northern army.
But greetings are greetings, and responsibilities must still be fulfilled.
Back then, he relied on his relationship as a concubine's sister to get a good job as a canal transporter on the Governor's Canal, and he made a lot of money from it, but he never thought that he would have to face such a scene one day.
In terms of his ability to make money, Diaomantu can even publish a book and challenge the government and the public. It cannot be said that he will be famous in history, but he will definitely be infamous for thousands of years.
But in terms of his ability to lead troops in combat, Fukang is considered a world-famous general compared with him.
Diao Mantu couldn't even understand the most basic marching formation diagram, let alone fight on the battlefield.
Just when he didn't know what to do next, soldiers suddenly came to report, and Jiang Ying came to the army.
Diao Mantu was worried about what to do. When he saw Jiang Ying arriving, he immediately went up to meet him, held his hand and said, "Master Jiang, how did you come here?"
Jiang Ying sighed and said: "Forget it, general, the north bank was attacked by the Han army, and the counties and cities in various places have fallen."
"Ah?" When Diao Mantu heard this, he immediately panicked, "The cities on the north bank have fallen? This... what should we do?"
Jiang Ying smiled and said: "General, don't worry, Jinfan is here to defeat the enemy."
Diao Mantu hurriedly grabbed Jiang Ying: "Master Jiang, have you got a good strategy to defeat the enemy? Come quickly."
Jiang Ying waved his sleeves and pretended to be profound and said: "General, although the Dongyi soldiers have achieved some results with their uncanny skills, according to my observation, most of their sergeants are exhausted, and many of the soldiers have complaints.
In addition, there is insufficient food and grass, half-full every day, and the army has long lost its fighting spirit. It is a God-given opportunity to defeat the enemy at this time! "
Diao Mantu's eyes lit up: "Is what Mr. Jiang said true?"
Jiang Yingdao: "Everything is true. In order to find out the enemy's true identity, I personally deceived myself into the enemy camp to observe them, and then escaped under the cover of night. There is absolutely no lie."
Hearing this, Diao Mantu paced back and forth for a while, then he clapped his hands and said, "When is the best time to send troops?"
Jiang Yingdao: "When the enemy is unprepared, the sooner the better, why not start now and anticipate the enemy's opportunity, we will definitely win a complete victory. In this way, General Diao's promotion will be a matter of course, and he can even become a high official in the border area!"
Diao Mantu was so excited that he immediately ordered: "Send the order for the entire army to assemble at the school grounds!"
…
The night was as dark as ink, and ripples suddenly appeared on the calm river surface.
More than 300 boats, rowed by boatmen, slowly sailed towards the Han army camp on the north bank.
As soon as the ship docked, 30,000 Jin Army soldiers immediately abandoned the ship and docked. Under the leadership of Diao Mantu, they approached the Han Army camp in the distance.
"Keep your voice down, and remember to act quickly, so as not to make the Dongyi people suspicious."
Diao Mantu was full of confidence and felt his blood boiling, as if the day of border closure was right in front of him.
Dongyi has been poisoning Nan'ao for many months, and all the generals in the capital are helpless. If I can annihilate them...
It's exciting just thinking about it.
Just as Diao Mantu's army was retreating under the cover of night, a group of black shadows suddenly appeared in the darkness, quietly approaching the port...
"Fire the arrow!"
“Swish, swish, swish~~”
In front of the Han army's camp, Diao Mantu gave an order, and thousands of archers fired all their rockets wrapped in fat cloth into the camp...
As the arrows fell, the Han army's camp immediately burst into flames.
Seeing this, Diao Mantu was so excited that he immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to make contributions. Capture the thief alive and reward him with a hundred gold. Kill him~"
"Kill~~"
The army rushed in and rushed into the camp.
But soon, Diao Mantu realized something was wrong.
"General, there is no one in the camp, and there are no carriage horses."
"What did you say!?"
Suddenly, Diao Mantu's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
At this moment, more than a hundred naked Jin soldiers ran to Diaomantu crying.
One of them cried: "General Diao, something big has happened."
"Why are you here?" Diaomantu asked in surprise.
"General Diao, not long after you left, a large group of barbarians suddenly came out of the darkness. They captured us before we could react. Then they stripped us of our clothes and armor and crossed the river."
"What!!! I fell into the trap!"
Diao Mantu roared and immediately understood that this was a trick. He immediately became angry and suspected that Jiang Miles was cooperating with the outsiders and working with Dongyi to seize the important river transportation route.
So he immediately ordered: "The whole army obeys the order and returns to the south bank quickly! Hurry!"
