At this time, there was a lot of noise in Yingzui Stream.
After the people from Chun County arrived, people from the other four counties arrived one after another.
They dare not not come. The soldiers and horses of the Beidi County King are ferocious, and their relatives are soldiers and enemies of the Beidi County King. Now the Beidi County King does not kill them, but just drives them away. Instead, they are grateful and grateful. Ze, so he took his family and set off.
Unexpectedly, when I came here, I was stopped by the imperial soldiers and horses, and I was not allowed to enter at all!
This made these people angry and began to curse.
"What the hell, my son is a Suizhou soldier. What do you mean if you don't let me go to Suizhou City?"
"The princes of the North Country did not make things difficult for us. You and I are on the same team, but my family actually made things difficult for each other. Are you still human?"
"I am the magistrate of Chun County! Let me go in quickly!"
"I am Ye Fan from Qingshui County. I am a descendant of the Ye family in Suizhou City. Open the door quickly!"
“…”
The people were very excited and angry.
The same anger also spread among Zheng Yichuan's army.
Some soldiers saw their relatives outside the city and immediately requested:
"Look at my mother and my father, let them in! They are definitely not spies!"
"I see my sister-in-law. My brother passed away. I promised my brother that I would take good care of my sister-in-law!"
"Why don't you open the door!"
"..."
Many soldiers blocked the door and tried to open it, but were blocked, and a dispute broke out.
The deputy general told Zheng Yichuan about this scene, and Zheng Yichuan was so angry that the corners of his eyes kept twitching.
But he still didn't give the order to speak.
Two more days passed.
There were more and more people outside, and there were two to three thousand people. After all the food and water they carried were eaten, the people panicked and began to attack the gate.
A large number of soldiers came to beg Zheng Yichuan, and thousands of people knelt in the darkness outside the tent.
Zheng Yichuan couldn't help but close his eyes. He understood that if he didn't open the door, there would be a mutiny in the army, and by then, it would be dangerous.
He had to admit that Ling Ning's plan was too sinister, and it happened to pinch him within seven inches.
"Open the door!" Zheng Yichuan finally spat, but emphasized: "All the people who come in will be controlled. They will eat and drink. Their identities must be checked before they can be released."
Zheng Yichuan's approach was completely within Duanmu Shuang's expectations.
At this time, Duanmu Shuang was mixed in the crowd.
And in the past few days, Duanmu Shuang has not been idle, he has been walking among the people, and with his sharp tongue, he has obtained a lot of useful information.
For example, Duanmu Shuang is currently surrounded by a couple named Zhao. Their son is a captain in the Suizhou Army, and this person is in Yingzui Stream.
So Duanmu Shuang prepared to use this captain as a breakthrough point.
Finally, the door opened.
The people were invited into the Suizhou Army camp, but they could only stay in a designated area and were not allowed to run around.
The next step is to check to prevent rebels from sneaking in among the people.
As Duanmu Shuang got older, he easily passed the scrutiny.
Subsequently,
Duanmu Shuang followed the Zhao couple and met their son.
That night, Duanmu Shuang tested the captain, and the results of the test made Duanmu Shuang very satisfied.
…
Time moves forward three days.
In Lizhou City.
Huang Yuanzhang looked at former army general Li Chongfeng excitedly and asked, "Is the news confirmed?"
Li Chongfeng nodded and said: "The news has been confirmed twice, and it is absolutely true. Ling Ning commanded ten armies, with a total of more than 80,000 people. The North Road Guandao sent one army, the South Road Guandao sent one army, and the five counties sent five armies. . The remaining three armies, approximately 20,000 men, are stationed on the slopes of Pingyuan."
Huang Yuanzhang has not been idle these days. He has been asking Li Chongfeng to investigate the enemy situation on Ling Ning's side and look for opportunities to take action.
Huang Yuanzhang said excitedly:
"Ling Ning is indeed insidious. He drove the people from five counties to Yingzui Stream and caught Zheng Yichuan off guard. But this also gave us a God-given opportunity!"
"It only takes four or five days to travel from Lizhou City to Pingyuan Slope."
"Right now, Ling Ning's attention is focused on Yingzui Stream. He never thought that I would sneak up on him at this time and catch him off guard!"
"Li Chongfeng, organize the 40,000 troops and horses now. We will attack Pingyuan Slope with great force and speed."
However, Li Chongfeng reminded: "Master Hou, be careful of Black Tooth Pass! There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Black Tooth Pass and can support Ling Ning at any time."
Huang Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Then we will add another 10,000 people, and 50,000 people will set off. At that time, the troops will be divided into two groups, and 10,000 people will go to Heiya Pass to contain Du Wengwen in Heiya Pass. The remaining 40,000 people will attack Ling Ning. There are two keys to winning this battle. One is the speed of the troops. The other is concealment. Once the troops sent by Ling Ning return to the defense, it will be difficult for our plan to succeed."
"Li Chongfeng, this battle is left to you, do you have confidence?"
After saying that, Huang Yuanzhang looked at Li Chongfeng with burning eyes.
Li Chongfeng was a close general he carefully cultivated. He was outstanding in both his ability to lead troops and his ability to lead troops in combat.
If he hadn't been reluctant to let him go, Li Chongfeng would have been able to stand alone long ago.
Li Chongfeng felt Huang Yuanzhang's trust in him, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Hou, I will definitely complete the mission!"
"Hahaha, I naturally believe in you. Then don't waste time and prepare quickly. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, don't tell anyone about the plan for this trip while dispatching troops. Only you and I know about this plan! "Huang Yuanzhang warned.
…
Time returns to the normal timeline.
Ling Ning has received the news that Zheng Yichuan asked people to enter Yingzui Stream.
Subsequently,
Ling Ning looked to the southwest, where was Lizhou.
Jia Huaiying came over and asked with a smile: "Master, are you wondering when Huang Yuanzhang will attack?"
"Yes, I deliberately hid Zhang Liao's Iron Buddha Tu with only 20,000 troops around me just to lure the snake out of the hole. If he didn't come, wouldn't his happiness be in vain?" Ling Ning said with a smile.
If Li Chongfeng were here, he would have committed suicide in shame.
The information he found was performed by Ling Ning for him.
The last time the intelligence was wrong, Huang Yuanzhang killed the scout captain and asked Duanmu Shuang to serve under Ling Ning. This time the intelligence is wrong, will Huang Yuanzhang kill Li Chongfeng?
It’s really exciting.
Jia Huaiying replied: "With Huang Yuanzhang's character, he will never miss this opportunity. Lord, please be patient."
"Lord! News is coming!"
At this moment, a sturdy man with a height of eight feet, a large waist and a majestic appearance came over and presented a letter with both hands.
The person who came was none other than Xu Chu.
Standing there, coupled with his indifferent face, he looked like a demon.
No wonder Cao Cao gave Xu Chu the important task of guard. Even though Ling Ning now has the power of overlord, he still feels that having Xu Chu as guard makes him more at ease.
Ling Ning opened the letter and browsed it, smiled immediately, then handed it to Jia Huaiying, and said: "Huang Yuanzhang's troops have arrived. They have been divided into two groups. Ten thousand people are going to Heiya Pass, and the remaining 40,000 are going to kill us. Come on, we will probably launch a sneak attack early tomorrow morning."
After Jia Huaiying took the letter and read it, he smiled and said: "Huang Yuanzhang was more cautious this time and sent Li Chongfeng to lead the troops. Li Chongfeng deliberately led the troops eastward, pretending to go to Yinzhou east of Lizhou, thus hiding his true whereabouts. If it weren't for Duanmu Mr. Huang has been with Huang Yuanzhang for many years, and several friends have provided us with information, so he may have fallen into the trap."
Ling Ning nodded and immediately said to Xu Chu: "Hu Chi, inform Zhang Liao and Wang Chao to get ready. It's their turn to perform."
"The general will understand!" Xu Chu immediately gave the order to retreat.
