"Father, when we visited Mr. Shui Jing before, you asked him about the heroes of the world. He only commented on the heroes of the Dragon Court such as Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, Yuan Feng, etc. He also commented on Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, etc. The younger generation has not commented on the strangers Lin Mu, Zhu Xuan, etc. Is it because they are strangers?" Da Qiao asked thoughtfully.
"Yes! And, father, why did you ask Mr. Shui Jing about the stars? Does the word "star" have a special meaning?" Xiao Qiao also came to join in the fun and asked.
"You two just have a lot of things to do... hum... I just asked about those things casually." Qiao Xuan took out his father's shelf and glared at Xiao Qiao.
"There are so many heroes in the world, but they are just little heroes." Qiao Xuan sighed.
"Currently, the biggest heroes are Han Emperor Liu Hong and Taiping Zhangjiao..." Qiao Xuanruo pointed out.
Hearing this, the two women nodded doubtfully.
Their father is considered a hero based on his current status!
"Father, what do you think of Zhu Xuan?" Da Qiao asked in a low voice.
"It must be Xiao Qiao who asked the servant to get close to the stranger, so he collected those strange things!" Upon hearing this, Qiao Xuan glared at Xiao Qiao again.
Da Qiao is quiet and quiet, while Xiao Qiao is very active. You don't need to guess to know that it's because they are secretly inquiring about strangers.
"No way, I just have nothing to do and just listen to it casually." Xiao Qiao smiled and said coyly.
"Also, that Zhu Xuan is not that good. I think the alien Lin Mu is better." Xiao Qiao expressed his thoughts innocently and romantically.
When Da Qiao heard this, he smiled slightly. She didn't mention Lin Mu. The reason was actually because the two of them had discussed Lin Mu many times in private, and he felt there was no need to talk about it in front of his father.
"The aliens are uniquely endowed with the incomparable advantage of being favored by heaven, but they also have huge flaws. It is difficult to conclude everything. Mr. Shui Jing, even Mr. Shui Jing, rarely talks about the aliens because they are so variable. Big and unpredictable!" Qiao Xuan sighed again.
"Father, don't always look worried..." Xiao Qiao saw Qiao Xuan sighing again, and immediately turned into a caring little cotton demon and comforted him.
Hearing this, Qiao Xuan chuckled and shook his head.
Ever since he knew how special his two daughters were, he had been sighing. Because if he cares, he will be in chaos!
"Is it true that we should just let nature take its course as Mr. Shui Jing suggested?!" Qiao Xuan sighed again in his heart.
"Alas... Since ancient times, beauties have had a bad fate. I hope my two daughters can have a good ending!" Qiao Xuan sighed secretly in his heart.
Seeing the sad look on his father's face, Xiao Qiao looked at each other helplessly.
After pondering for a while, Qiao Xuan suddenly stood up.
"You guys go back to your room and rest...I...go see Elder Huang." Qiao Xuan whispered.
"Father, are you going to implement that plan?" Da Qiao narrowed his eyes and asked solemnly.
Xiao Qiao said nothing and stared at Qiao Xuan closely.
"Yeah! After some contact, Elder Huang still understands the righteousness quite well. If we can convince him, the plan will succeed." Qiao Xuan nodded.
"Then...father, please be careful." Da Qiao nodded. She knew that her father's temperament, once decided, was difficult to change.
"I also hope that the officer and general who captured the southern city wall is a good officer!" After Qiao Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and left resolutely.
…
…
Lin Mu stood on the wall, looked at the busy people, and smiled slightly.
Below, some Star Legion soldiers are busy changing into the equipment of the Yellow Turban Army.
Regardless of the outcome between Zhou Cang and Ding Feng, Zhou Cang should return to the city. And at that time, it was an opportunity!
"I hope Zhou Cang didn't come up with today's plan by himself!" Lin Mu raised his head and looked into the dark distance, thinking in his heart.
They had already interrogated the Yellow Turban soldiers and found that there was no contact code set up at the city gate. When Zhou Cang returns, as long as the city gate is wide open, Zhou Cang, who is in a hurry, should be able to enter.
This move is the real trick to catch a turtle in a jar!
"Report!" While Lin Mu was thinking, a shout rang out, and then a burst of rapid horse hooves came from the dark night.
The rangers who went to get information are back!
"Lord, after an hour of fierce fighting between Zhou Cang and Ding Feng, both sides suffered losses!"
"However, it was Ding Feng who suffered heavy losses!"
"In the end, Ding Feng had some of his soldiers cut off, and he led the remaining troops into the unburned mountain forest and escaped Zhou Cang's encirclement and suppression!" The messenger gave a rough summary of the battle situation on the front line.
Without the need for details, Lin Mu had already deduced the situation of this battle in his mind. After all, this was one of the results he had long guessed.
"It's a pity that Wang Can is not a counselor, but a civil servant, otherwise Ding Feng wouldn't be so miserable!" Lin Mu murmured with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
He had expected Ding Feng's defeat later.
His army of stars was plotted by Zhou Cang and was almost wiped out, not to mention Ding Feng who was acting as a bait!
Ding Feng was an excellent commander, but he was not an able counselor. The plan of feigning defeat and ambush that he and Lin Mu discussed was a good one, and the average Yellow Turban Army would probably fall for it. But Zhou Cang didn't know what was going on, but he didn't fall for it.
Lin Mu was 80% confident in guessing that Zhou Cang had received guidance from an expert!
If Zhou Cang was really smart, after entering Jiujiang County, he should start coercing the people to attack the county town. But he didn't, he just summoned the Taiping Taoists.
Although it is a bad strategy to coerce the people, it is a very effective strategy. Zhou Cang did not do this, it must be because the counselor could not bear to see the lives of Jiujiang County in ruins, so he did not suggest Zhou Cang to implement it.
"If we can find this counselor, we might gain something big!" Lin Mu felt in his heart and came up with such an idea.
"Unfortunately, after interrogating those Yellow Turban soldiers, it seems that there is no special person in their camp. Could it be that Zhou Cang is hiding it?!" Lin Mu thought to himself.
After he took care of the southern city wall, he asked a lieutenant to take charge of this matter, but unfortunately he found nothing. After all, the captured Yellow Turbans were all small soldiers, not even an elder, let alone Xiaoqushuai.
"Lord, good news has come?!" Cui Wu's voice came while Lin Mu was thinking about it. I saw him running up in a hurry.
"Is everything arranged properly?" Lin Mu looked at Cui Wudao.
"Hey, it's basically done! Those Yellow Turban soldiers did not engage in fierce battles with us, and their equipment and weapons are in good condition, so they should be fine."
"Okay! Let them prepare. Zhou Cang should be back after cleaning the battlefield. They should be very tired after a day and night of fighting, especially in the early morning. Then let the thinner star soldiers dress up as farmers, There are pots of hot food not far from the entrance to the city. If you see hot porridge and hot rice from a distance, those yellow scarf soldiers will run in at all costs!" Lin Mu said with experience.
"My lord's strategy of subverting one's strengths and replacing others is truly amazing!" Cui Wu praised sincerely.
This strategy of subverting one's strengths and weaknesses was something Lin Mu and everyone else discussed at the meeting just now. Originally, Lin Mu was not prepared to use this move. After all, Zhou Cang must be a smart man to be able to defeat their plan. When they return to the city, they should easily find something unusual.
However, after some analysis, I feel that their scheme was discovered not by Zhou Cang, but by someone else!
That's why he took the risk and adopted this strategy.
"Have the troops and supplies been arranged?" Lin Mu asked again.
"They are all arranged. They were originally taken away early tomorrow morning, but due to a temporary change of plans, they will all be detained in the warehouse." Cui Wu nodded.
"Okay... let's just wait and see!" Lin Mu turned around, looked into the darkness in the distance, and said in a solemn voice.
He really didn't expect that he would have a chance to capture Zhou Cang in Fuling City!
According to the original plan, they were to ambush Zhou Cang's troops, consume his troops as much as possible, and then launch an siege.
Moreover, the Night Shadow Department in the city has not yet exerted its strength!
"Report!" At this time, another message came. However, it came from within the city.
"Reporting to the Lord, a Yellow Turban Soldier is coming from the north of the city! He said he has something important to discuss with the general in charge. The man said it was about the Yellow Turban Army in the north of the city." The messenger reported.
"General in charge of troops?" Lin Mu was quite confused when he heard this word.
The visitor should not be from the Great Wilderness Territory, nor the Night Shadow Department, nor the undercover agent developed by Xi Zhicai. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to say this word.
"Ask him to find Huang Xu." Lin Mu waved his hand. A Yellow Turban soldier is nothing, Huang Xu is completely qualified to receive him. Moreover, the general in charge is Huang Xu.
However, Lin Mu didn't know that with just this casual sentence, he missed a mysterious opportunity.
