Caizhou's defense remains solid.
The same goes for Liupan Mountain. Tong Xing followed Wei Guang's instructions and set up an ambush, but Sun Qi was not fooled.
A few days later, the Ling Army began to retreat.
In Caizhou City, the sound of neat infantry running and the sound of armor rubbing can be heard everywhere.
Large numbers of spiritual troops formed several long queues and passed through various streets.
Because they were fully prepared and deployed in advance, the soldiers did not have any panic, and their military appearance was strong and vigorous, more like they were marching in a hurry.
On a roof, Murong Hongye stood with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the sky.
In the sky, there is an eagle soaring.
His eyes followed the falcon's trajectory until it disappeared from sight.
In the afternoon, the hall of a certain house.
This is the temporary official residence of the Housi Liying Camp of the Lingjun garrison in Caizhou.
All departments were retreating in an orderly manner, and the Li camp was no exception. However, before that, Murong Hongye summoned his subordinates to arrange some things.
After finishing the explanation, he also looked at a middle-level leader.
The leader is none other than Chen Jing. His true identity is that he is an inspector of the military aircraft camp of the Qin State. He was arranged to infiltrate the Ling Kingdom many years ago. The reason why he was able to be in the Sili Camp and promoted so quickly was because the Qin State sold it out. Several times of accurate information allowed him to gain credit in exchange for the sacrifice of many people, which shows the importance of his identity.
He is about twenty-seven or twenty-seven years old, with a fair face and beardless appearance, and an ordinary appearance, but his facial features are extremely attractive, and he has a cynical temperament, or in other words, this cynicism is deliberately revealed.
"Chen Jing, today I have an important matter to explain. Why don't I see you? It's been about three o'clock. What have you been doing?" Murong Hongye said unexpectedly, because that time was when he saw the falcon.
"I didn't receive the news of the meeting in advance. It was definitely not an intentional delay. Haha, Sir, please calm down." Chen Jing cupped his hands and smiled shyly.
"I am asking you something." Murong Hongye's eyes turned cold.
"This..." Chen Jingqian smiled and said: "Drinking with Brother Zhang in Lange..."
As he spoke, he hurriedly said: "It's a mistake of humble duty, please punish me."
Murong Hongye looked at the brother Zhang he mentioned. That man had a similar position to Chen Jing and had a very good relationship with him in private.
The look in Shangguan's eyes made the leader surnamed Zhang swallow his saliva and said cautiously: "Yes, yes, Brother Chen and Beizhi have been in Lange in the morning because... they were not notified, so, That’s why I missed the meeting, sir, please calm down.”
Hearing this, Murong Hongye felt a little disappointed, and said angrily: "This is the time! It's so unreasonable to still be in the mood to drink!"
"Everyone, go down! After our army withdraws from Caizhou, Chen Jing will set up some secret sentries to keep an eye on the Qin army's every move!"
"No." Everyone saluted in unison.
After everyone left, Murong Hongye summoned the leader named Zhang in private.
In the room, the leader looked a little overwhelmed and worried. He was obviously worried that he would be punished for drinking and making mistakes.
But where was Murong Hongye's thoughts? She asked in a solemn voice: "Did you and Chen Jing spend the whole morning drinking in Lange? Did you never leave?"
"Yes, yes." The leader replied carefully.
"Think about it carefully." Murong Hongye was a little sinister, especially under the cold voice. He sat in front of the round table and poured himself a cup of tea.
The leader quietly raised his head and looked at his face. His Adam's apple slipped. After thinking about it in his mind, he said, "Chen Jing seems to have had a urination during the process."
"Huh?" Murong Hongye's hand holding the tea cup paused, and his sharp eyes swept towards the leader.
The leader quickly added: "However, Chen Jing never left the sight of his humble position. He returned to the table after urinating."
"Is there anything I missed?"
“Nothing is left out, that’s just the way it is.”
The leader replied, and out of curiosity, he bravely asked: "What do you mean, sir..."
Murong Hongye's mind was spinning. He suspected Chen Jing just because of his whereabouts without any real evidence. Moreover, Chen Jing was very important to him and was a rare talent in the Si Li Camp. The most important thing was that there was no Just kill a meritorious person if there is evidence, and other subordinates will be dissatisfied.
After thinking about it, he said: "You and Chen Jing have the best personal relationship. In a few days, I will put you and him together and keep an eye on his every move. If there is any abnormality, report it to me immediately."
"Ah?" The leader felt nervous, but in this kind of special department, he didn't dare to say anything. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes, I am humble enough to take orders."
"Go down. Don't let the third person know about this matter." Murong Hongye waved his hand.
"Yes, I understand my humble position." The leader bowed and retreated.
Murong Hongye picked up the teacup again and took a sip, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she murmured to herself: "Chen Jing, could it be that Xiao Zuo..."
the other side.
The spirit general Liu Hong was secretly mobilizing five thousand soldiers in a camp.
These five thousand people were all carefully selected by him. All of them were brave warriors and were promised large sums of money and promised their families eternal wealth. Therefore, they could be used as a death squad.
This was a secret military operation, subject to the highest orders, and senior generals such as Huang Zu had no right to interfere.
The five thousand people had gathered, and Liu Hong was in front of the formation. He glanced at the soldiers below, walked back and forth, and said seriously:
"This battle is about reviving the great spirit!"
"All soldiers must put aside personal life and death! Go all out!"
"We must defeat the Qin thieves! Defend our family and country!"
"After this battle, you will all be given gold and titles! Your family will enjoy wealth forever!"
It is said that under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man, and the five thousand men who dared to die also began to shout: "Defeat the Qin thieves! Defend the home and the country!"
"Okay!" Liu Hong became energetic and began to deploy and explain: "After all the troops were lurking, they saw lights on the city river. This was a signal to prepare. They would attack Caizhou Mansion late at night the next day at 1:00 o'clock!"
In this season, no one would put out river lanterns, and the Qin army was even less likely to put out these things.
The arrangements here were very clear. After seeing the signal and one day of preparation time, the five thousand people were quickly broken into pieces and scattered among various residences.
Two days later, the main forces of Liupanshan and Caizhou retreated at the same time late at night, giving up all resistance and retreating lightly to the east.
After a military order, tens of thousands of troops from the Ling Kingdom moved very fast and without any load. The two lines converged directly behind Caizhou and headed for Ruizhou.
It's not that the Qin army can't pursue it, but that the Ling army is well deployed and too well prepared, which makes no sense at all.
As soon as the troops withdrew, the front line of the Spirit Army instantly became empty, not even a ladder was left.
The Qin army took advantage of the situation and occupied Caizhou and Liupan Mountain.
Early next morning.
Xiao Yuan rode his war horse and led the main army to arrive outside Caizhou City.
On the top of the city, soldiers of the Qin army had already taken over the defense and replaced them with the battle flag of the Qin army.
