In late May, the ghost commander Mokaisi led an army of 200,000 to the Nali area and set up camp in advantageous terrain.
The two sides started an initial confrontation about thirty miles apart, and each scouted and reported military information back and forth.
Xiao Yuan wanted to fight decisively. In this case, he would make all arrangements, so he was not in a hurry.
In his words, the initiative on the battlefield is in my hands. I can fight whenever I want, and I can defend if I don't want to fight.
The opposite is the ghost army. Now this Qin army is nailed to its own hinterland and poses a great threat. Moreover, Jikan City west of Nali is still under siege, including the Laisen part of Sais City.
If we don't drive this Qin army out, what will happen?
Therefore, after arriving at the front line, Mokes has been looking for opportunities to use troops.
In the big tent, the ghost army's intelligence report came back again, and Mokaisi said without any nonsense: "How? Can we find any loopholes?"
The ghost general in charge of military intelligence shook his head: "The Qin army is heavily guarded and has hidden sentries everywhere. It is impossible to get close to the camp. As for the entire battlefield, it is impossible to attack from the flanks, and it is even more unrealistic to bypass the rear."
"So, the only option is to attack by force?" Mokaisi's face was not very pretty.
The ghost general said: "My subordinates do not recommend a forced attack. From a military point of view, the Qin army's camp occupies a geographical advantage. If our army attacks by force, it may be difficult to attack the city. I hope the general will think twice."
Mo Kaisi doesn't understand this truth, but if he doesn't fight, why not just wait? If it continues to be delayed, not to mention Jikan will be finished, Laisen in Sais City will also be finished. By then, the various departments of the Qin Army will We will also meet from all directions.
Just when he was frowning and thinking hard about the opportunity to fight, a civilian official in the army stood up and saluted and said: "I have a strategy that may be able to defeat the Qin army."
"Oh?" Mokaisi was shocked: "What is your plan? Tell me quickly. If you can really defeat the Qin army, it will be your first success!"
The civil servant said: "I heard that there are several slaves from the Central Plains in the general's family. They are all trophies of the war. Among them is a learned man. The general has also brought him this time?"
"Yes." Mokes said: "This man is very exciting. I bought him at a huge price. He has been my slave for more than ten years and is very loyal to his master. I brought him here this time because I wanted to help him." He can be used as a translator when necessary.”
"That's just right." The civil servant said: "Since this slave is so loyal, we can use him to give the Qin army a wrong message, lure the Qin army to attack, and then set up an ambush."
Mokes became more interested and quickly urged: "Explain in detail."
The civil servant continued: "Let this slave pretend to escape and run to the Qin army's camp. This is their own national compatriot. The Qin army will definitely save him, and then use this to offer suggestions to the Qin army and tell us about the gaps in our defenses and Food and grass storage place.”
"When the Qin army sees this, they will not miss the opportunity."
The more Mokesi listened, the brighter his eyes became. When he finished speaking, he couldn't help but praise: "What a good plan! When the time comes, we can wait for the Qin army to take the bait!"
"Yes, General." The civil servant said respectfully.
"Yes." Mokes nodded slowly, without any hesitation, and immediately raised his voice: "Quickly, bring my slave here."
"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.
Not long after, a man from the Central Plains was brought over.
This person's name is Mei Jiusi. He was captured when the ghost tribe invaded the Central Plains more than ten years ago. At that time, he was only in his twenties.
In these years of being in the Ghost Clan, his position has already changed. Although he is treated as a slave, he has long regarded the Ghost Clan as his own country and worships everything here.
After Mei Jiusi came over, she saw Mo Kais kneeling directly at his feet and said loyally: "Master, what are your orders."
"Nine thoughts." Mokes stroked his head as if he were a pet: "Over the years, this general has treated you better than other slaves. He has given you food, shelter, and allowed you to keep your name. Sometimes , and will reward you with women, you understand this."
"Master's kindness will never be forgotten by Jiu Si!" Mei Jiusi said.
"Well, very good." Mokes was very satisfied with his attitude: "This time, the general has a very important task for you. If you can complete it, Master, I will reward you with two women. Then make you a slave owner."
"Really, Master!?" Mei Jiusi's eyes flashed with excitement: "Please give the order, Master! Even if Jiusi dies, he must repay the kindness of Master!"
"Very good!" Mokaisi was delighted, and then told Mei Jiusi the plan.
After hearing this, the latter did not hesitate: "Master, please rest assured! Jiusi will definitely complete this task!"
"Okay!" Mokaisi stood up and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Jiusi, don't worry, after this is done, you will be a slave owner and you will have many women and wealth!"
"Jiusi understands, thank you master for giving me this opportunity! I will be ashamed of myself!" Mei Jiusi crawled two steps and continued to kneel at his feet.
"Haha! Okay, okay, then hurry up and get ready." Looking at Mei Jiusi kneeling at his feet, Mokaisi looked up and smiled.
"Yes, Master!" Mei Jiusi respectfully stepped back.
After he left, the deputy general of the ghost army couldn't help but said: "General, you have trained this slave well."
Mokaisi smiled with a smile on his face: "The people of the Central Plains are very humble at heart. They are happy to be enslaved by others, as long as they are given a little benefit. Moreover, they are very weak and have no confidence in their own nation. Just like Mei Jiusi, he admires our culture even more."
"The general is smart." The deputy general flattered him and said, "But in case something unexpected happens, shall we make further preparations?"
"Of course." Mokes also had the same view: "You can't place all your hopes on a slave. You can make arrangements for defense."
"Understood!" the deputy general responded and left.
The civilian official of the ghost army said: "General, when your slave pretends to escape, it is best to send troops to chase him. This will make it more real."
"Yes." Mokes nodded: "It's better that you think carefully, let's do it this way, you will arrange the pursuit."
"Yes!" The civil servant followed Shi Li and left.
Then, Mokaisi glanced at the other ghost generals and said seriously: "If this plan succeeds, the Qin army will be ambushed by us and will be defeated! At that time, we can take advantage of the victory to advance and eliminate them in one fell swoop!"
As he spoke, he began to give orders one after another and deploy in various directions.
One after another, ghosts will come out to take orders.
After the military order was issued, Mokes stared again and shouted: "This battle is very important! Keep your spirits up! There must be no mistakes! Do you hear me clearly?"
"clear!"
The ghosts will have great confidence. (End of chapter)
