Liu Hong looked around the steps, although the generals did not care about Liu Qi's strategy in their hearts, but when they saw Liu Hong's full support for Liu Qi, they all felt that it was not worth offending the two for this trivial matter, and what Liu Hong said made sense, it was good to give it a go, if it really succeeded, everyone would be happy, even if it didn't work, it would be nothing more than dozens of people, so most people echoed and said yes.

There are a few "people who understand" who impatiently shouted that they were willing to give people and things, so these idiots can't figure it out about such an obvious thing? Liu Qi has just arrived, how can he stand up if he doesn't do something eye-catching? Besides, the reinforcements are still counting on General Liu, so why bother to refute people's face for this trivial matter?

No one objected, and after giving in to Zheng Xiongqian, Liu Qi stepped forward and ordered loudly: "Gan Ning listens to the order, I order you to select soldiers, prepare things to ignite the fire, and go out of the city as soon as possible to Baiquan!" ”

"Whoa!"

There is no need for the Tiger Fu Seal Letter to mobilize this person, Gan Ning suddenly turned around and strode away.

After agreeing on the arrangements, everyone returned to the camp, Liu Hong complained about Liu Qi in public, Liu Qi also knew that he was thinking too simple at this time, and he was eager to promote Gan Ning to cause a strong xenophobic sentiment among the generals, and without careful discussion, he rashly proposed a plan to burn food in front of everyone, and if it was leaked, the consequences can be imagined.

Fortunately, the prison army had a good relationship with Liu Hong, and as soon as Liu Hong reminded him, he immediately sent someone to closely monitor the low-level generals present, and strengthened the inspection on the city wall to ensure that any news could not fly out of the county seat of Quren.

Liu Qi accompanied the smiling face and said good things to dissipate Liu Hong's anger, and asked Liu Hong about the strategies and dishes he had agreed with Gan Ning......

Baiquan is named because it is backed by Baiquan Mountain, there are several salt springs in the mountain, Yizhou is far away from the sea and eats salt all by boiling springs to extract salt, so Baiquan is not only an important transportation hub between Quren and Yufu, but also the military post and Yantie City are located here, it is bustling and lively on weekdays, but since the occupation of the Yan rebels, Baiquan has lost its former prosperity, and there are only a few war horses or some soldiers who are not in good clothes and armor from time to time on the street and hurriedly pass by.

The rebel camp is not in Baiquan City, which has convenient transportation, but at the foot of Baiquan Mountain, five miles away, hundreds of huge grain stacks covered with tarpaulins are in the center of the camp, and the waterway is impassable.

Three soldiers and horses a total of 5,000 people finished word formation outside the guard, Baiquan Mountain only south is a gentle slope, the other three sides are cliffs, the people of this camp are not idle people, choose to camp in this place with the back of the peak, if there is an enemy to attack, can only attack from one side, even if the enemy is several times more than the defenders, it is difficult to succeed.

However, on the hillside behind the rebels, which was considered absolutely safe, a shadow appeared in the dense forest, where they could not see their fingers, and in a moment they floated into the camp at the foot of the mountain, ghostly and silently shuttled among the shadows of the many tents, and only after half an hour did they retreat back to the hillside and disappear into the dense forest.

"Damn, what kind of Zhonglang who surrendered will make people panic all day long, what is there to be wary of, can someone have wings and fly over the cliff? Their rulers drank and made fun in their tents, but they starved and froze all night! ”

The cliffs on three sides of Baiquan Mountain are difficult for apes to cross, so there are only two sentry posts on the hillside, these two sentry posts are not for guarding behind but for distant observation, and when it is time to change the guard, a sentry is extremely reluctant to climb the hillside, while complaining to his companions.

The four sentry guards who were replaced back to the camp were overjoyed to see the arrival of their replacements, they had already been aroused by the smell of wine coming from the camp, and today was the Xia Yuan Festival, and the captain Yan who was guarding the camp specially transported dozens of truckloads of good wine and hundreds of fat sheep from Baiquan City to reward the soldiers guarding the camp.

October 15 Yuan Festival, in the Han Dynasty is an important festival, in the past Han Wu Emperor worshiped the way of the gods, respectively in the first month of the fifteenth, July 15th, October 15th through a grand ceremony to worship the gods, of which the first month of the fifteenth Shangyuan Festival is the most grand.

The scale of the sacrificial activities of the Midyear Festival and the Lower Yuan Festival is slightly simpler, but most of the festivals have no special significance for the common people except for the festivals in the agricultural slack period, because since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is not allowed to gather people to drink, so these festivals are nothing more than to give them a chance to get together with relatives and neighbors to drink with confidence.

Originally, it was strictly forbidden to drink alcohol in the barracks, but how could this army, which had been in operation for less than a month, have strict military discipline? In addition, Yan Feng, the captain of the camp, was originally a gentleman who spent all day and wine, how could he strictly abide by the rules and precepts, he also believed in immortals, so he attached great importance to the festival of sacrificing immortals, and in recent days, his subordinates had captured a beautiful woman for him, and he was in a good mood, so he took advantage of the festival to bring wine from Baiquan City to have a good time, and at the same time he could stop the mouths of his subordinates.

Most of the soldiers don't even know what day it is, and they don't care about which god it is, what they are most concerned about is what can really eat and drink into their stomachs, these years and months can't eat enough to eat how there is surplus grain to make wine, people with cattle and sheep are even more serious about cattle and sheep than life, the opportunity to drink wine and eat meat is not every year, how can you not be anxious, the four guards saw the replacement from a distance and shouted excitedly without waiting for them to climb up, and then rushed back to the camp.

Wang Man is one of the four guards who are about to be on duty at night, his family was originally a farmer in a village at the foot of Bashan, the male Ding in the family is prosperous, the fields are also fertile, and the life is very solid, several times in the county have been avoided by the family's money, but this time the people who came to recruit Ding have even taken away all the money with them, I heard that they are the Guling County Taishou and the neighboring county Taishou have a deep hatred, and they want to recruit the whole county to send troops to fight, and now the Wang family is full of people, including the father who is nearly sixty years old, a total of nine men have been forcibly pulled into the barracks.

Fortunately, the battle went well, and I heard from the battalion commander that the other side had been heavily surrounded, and that it would not take a few days to win a great victory, and then they could reunite with their father and brothers and continue to go home to live their peaceful little life.

Wang Man was startled when he heard the complaint of his companion, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull him, and then looked back nervously, and saw that the few sentry guards who were running back did not seem to hear anything before he was relieved, a few days ago, a teenage and a half-grown son was heard because of a few complaints, and the result was that he disturbed the morale of the army and was cut off his head.

If you want to go home alive, be cautious, Wang Man hurriedly whispered: "Don't complain, let someone hear that you are still alive?" They are happy with theirs, we are happy with ours, you see! ”

After Wang Man finished speaking, he took out an oily cloth bag from his arms, and as soon as he opened it, a tempting smell of meat wafted out, and the eyes of the other three people were straight, and they swallowed their saliva fiercely and asked, "Oh, it's meat!" Brother Wang, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good! ”

"Shhhh Wang Man smiled and put away the cloth bag and said in a low voice: "This is venison, what was left over from Captain Yan last night, and my brother specially left it for me, and there are a lot of it!" You haven't drunk enough, my brother also left me a jar of good chrysanthemum wine, and when it gets dark, let's sneak down and carry it and have a good drink! ”

The other three people knew that Wang Man's younger brother was from the stove camp, and this could not be faked, and their gluttonous saliva was about to flow down, so they hurriedly nodded and praised: "Brother Wang is really righteous!" ”

After nightfall, Wang Man and a companion sneaked to the side of the stove camp and carried the wine and meat given to him by his brother back to the hillside.

Wang Man did not dare to drink more, and from time to time ran out of the forest to look into the camp, and did not see any signal to contact each other three times in a row, so he was sure that no one would patrol the night tonight, and walked towards the campfire with confidence.

When the three companions saw Wang Man coming back, they hurriedly beckoned him to continue to drink the rest of the wine, and one said: "Brother Wang, don't be so careful, who in the camp today can still take care of the night watch, if you don't believe it, look for it, the people who let out the wind outside the camp have already found a grass nest to sleep and died, come on, let's continue to drink!" ”

At about the time when the ugly time and the yin time intersected, a cold wind blew, and Wang Man, who was half-asleep and half-awake, shivered, reached out and pulled his neckline, and tried to open his sour eyes and look at the three companions.

Wang Man saw the most terrifying scene he had ever seen in his life, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind the companion opposite, and a particularly pale face appeared under the beating firelight, smiling, stretching out a hand to cover the companion's mouth and nose, and at the same time a bright short blade against his throat.

Whining......

For a moment, Wang Man was shocked into a cold sweat, and instinctively wanted to scream and flee in the opposite direction, but before the sound could be spoken, a cold big hand was forced back into his throat, Wang Man desperately wanted to struggle, but the feeling on his hand and back was like he was being bound by steel, and he couldn't move a little bit at all.

"If you don't want to die, don't make a sound!" A voice that was colder than a knife against his neck reached Wang Man's ears.

Ah, not demons, they're people!

The frightened Wang Man saw a glimmer of hope, and immediately stopped the senseless struggle, trying to control his violently trembling body, for fear of provoking the other party's dissatisfaction and killing him.

After an inaudible sound of Suosuo, a group of sturdy men emerged from the bushes and gathered around the bonfire, all dressed in black clothes and black pants, with a strong murderous aura on their faces, which made Wang Man's heart jump uncontrollably.

A tall man came to Wang Man, his voice low and powerful: "If you don't want to die, do as I say." ”

Wang Man nodded vigorously, and the man behind him let go of the hand covering his mouth, but the short blade on his neck was tighter, and the sharp tip pierced the skin of Wang Man's neck without resistance...... Life, you can do whatever you want, I just ask you to spare my life. ”

"We are the official army, come to burn the camp tonight, the Yan family wants to drag you to rebel, sooner or later you will be swept away by the imperial army, you, and your whole family, if you don't want to bury the Yan family, you will do as I tell you later, we will show the court that you were coerced by the Yan family, and you will not be held accountable."

After the tall man finished speaking, Wang Man immediately said in a loud voice: "The villain is willing, the villain is willing, thank you for the grace of the military master, the military master only commands, and the villain does everything." ”
