A group of people sat in the dark and held a meeting.

Wei Xiyin said, "According to the plan, the rear supply team will stay here, and Third Uncle will lead two thousand people to the east, waiting for the opportunity to capture the granary five miles away."

"Deputy General Shi and Mr. Qu are leading their men in ambush outside the county. Another thousand of their men will follow the princess and I to the county tomorrow."

Wei Xiyin raised her head and looked at the silent Princess Zhongshan. She asked, "How does Princess Zhongshan plan to incite the Zhongshan army to revolt?"

The plan cannot go wrong, the key point still lies with the princess.

It's hard to see his expression in the dark.

I only heard the princess say softly: "Show the enemy weakness, appeal to their emotions, penetrate deep into the enemy camp, and tempt them with conditions."

Wei Xiyin nodded when she heard that. He had just learned the art of war and was already able to apply it immediately. That was pretty good.

If this plan fails, there is another trick.

"Okay, we'll set off early tomorrow morning." This was something that had been decided in advance.

As the Princess of Zhongshan, she could return to Zhongren County openly. That was her home, and even Yuan Sanlang could not stop her.

Yuan Sanlang dared to harm his brothers and poison his stepmother, but he did not dare to make these things public.

At present, he is the only one in power in Zhongshan. Even if his generals realize the situation and react later, it is too late and they can do nothing.

But the princess is different.

As the only legitimate daughter of the King of Zhongshan, personally conferred by His Majesty and with fiefdom as Princess Zhongshan, even if Yuan Sanlang succeeded to the throne, her title and status would remain, and the people of Zhongshan would not dare to disrespect her.

Who dares to stop the princess from going home?

This is also the reason why Wei Xiyin had to wait until the princess returned before taking action against Zhongshan.

However, the two of them need to enter the city and go deep into the enemy's interior, which is extremely dangerous.

If I fail in one mistake, I'm afraid...

Except for Wei Mingyuan and the two counselors, the people behind them only learned of their plan at this time.

Wei Li's face changed slightly and he wanted to stop it.

"No!" Yuan Wu spoke first, horrified, "This is far too risky. How can we let the princess take this risk alone?"

Yuan Wu and others have already defected to Zhongshan and definitely cannot go with them.

Wei Xiyin's face darkened. "What do you mean 'alone'? Captain Yuan, do you think I'm dead?"

Yuan Wu reacted and quickly apologized, "Miss, you misunderstood. With the princess's return, Yuan Sanlang will definitely take action. I'm afraid he will use the same tricks to harm the princess again. We are just worried about her safety."

Wei Xiyin's expression softened. "Captain Yuan, don't worry. The Zhongshan army can't go with us, but the Wei family army can. We're escorting the princess home under the guise of the Qinghe Wei family. Commander Qin will be accompanying us, and we'll definitely protect her safety."

Wei Li's expression lightened slightly when he heard this.

From an outsider's perspective, it was unrealistic for the two women to travel such a long distance to Zhongshan even with the escort of the Wei clan's followers.

As a young master of the Wei family, he naturally had to follow into the city.

In the darkness, Wei Ling weakly raised his hand, "Fifth cousin, what about me?"

Food is precious, and the food in Zhongshan granary cannot be burned. My father must have discussed a solution with my fifth cousin.

I just don't know how they arranged it, but they left him out...

Wei Xiyin nodded and said, "You stay behind and guard the food and explosives we brought. When the time comes, cooperate with Mr. Qu and Deputy General Shi and be ready to support us at any time."

Wei Ling's identity is special, and he is afraid that someone will react and recognize him as Wei Mingyuan's eldest son, and thus discover that the Wei family army has returned to the fort.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with recognizing it, but once the enemy becomes more vigilant and associates it with the actual situation of the fort, it will be detrimental to their actions.

It would be better to show weakness again and again at the beginning and catch them off guard.

Wei Ling slowly put his hand down and said "Oh" in disappointment.

His long military career has made him accustomed to obeying orders, although he really wants to follow.

The matter was settled.

I couldn't see the face in the darkness, I could only see the silhouette swaying.

Wei Xiyin spent a long time distinguishing these shadows before she realized that Chu Yu was standing next to her.

"Is there anything you need to say, sir?"

Which strategist goes out to fight without saying a word?

"Didn't Yugai say everything when we were discussing countermeasures at the old house?"

Chu Yu's voice came, "Attacking the heart is the best strategy, combining the real and the fake, this is the best strategy."

Cookie shook his head and continued, "Sowing discord, launching surprise attacks and killing people, turning passivity into initiative, that's all it takes."

Wei Xiyin: "…" Aren't these two just ordinary people? Why are they singing the same tune?

That's how it was settled.

Wei Mingyuan didn't say a word from beginning to end, leaving his niece enough room to play, as if he was just a general following orders.

It's not daybreak yet.

Wei Mingyuan led two thousand soldiers and left the team first, heading to the location of Zhongshan granary to set up an ambush.

Wei Xiyin and Princess Zhongshan took off their shirts in the makeshift tent and put on the silk and gauze clothes they brought with them.

The narrow skirt makes it impossible to take wide steps when walking, and the wide long sleeves make it very inconvenient to move.

Put on the clothes.

Wei Xiyin found it difficult to adapt for a moment and almost couldn't walk. She hadn't worn this kind of skirt for so long that she almost forgot that she used to wear it like this.

Seeing her walking posture, Princess Zhongshan smiled rarely, "Why are you acting like this is your first time wearing this?"

Wei Xiyin was silent.

Is this a mockery of her?

Before she could speak, Princess Zhongshan seemed to know what she was going to say next. Her expression was slightly unnatural, but her tone was very serious, "Girl, please don't mention etiquette to the gentleman."

Wei Xiyin found it funny, "I didn't mention it, it was the princess who brought it up first."

Princess Zhongshan gradually calmed down and confided her true feelings, "How can I have a home if my family's vengeance hasn't been avenged? I will kill Yuan Sanlang and observe a year of mourning for my mother and brother. I will not let down Mr. Li's sincere heart."

These words were a confession to Wei Xiyin that she did not use Wei Li to achieve her own goals.

Wei Li also knew what she was thinking, so the two of them had almost no contact after returning to the fort. They rushed all the way to Zhongshan without saying a single word, and only looked at each other from a distance.

How can we let the love between young people ruin things when the great revenge has not yet been taken?

Wei Xiyin straightened her expression and said, "May your wish come true. The Wei family army will definitely protect you on this trip."

She is not a person who goes back on her word.

After entering the city, there might be enemies on all sides. Princess Zhongshan dared to entrust her safety to her, so she brought Wei Li with her to reassure the princess.

Princess Zhongshan looked at her with a look that seemed to contain a thousand words, but in the end she only said, "Of course I trust you, young lady."

The two of them came out of the tent together.

Wei Xiyin walked a few more steps and gradually regained her former feeling. In a short while, she was able to walk normally, but these small steps made her really tired.

Chu Yu and Cookie were discussing something not far away.

I saw the girl and the princess coming over after changing their clothes.

Cookie saluted without looking away.

Chu Yu turned around and saluted.

He glanced at her calmly for a moment, then suddenly suggested, "Would you like to put on some powder, girl?"

When the two young ladies stand together, the difference in skin color is quite big.

Wei Xiyin: “…” She even wanted to kill someone.
