Qin Yuan was the top scholar in the imperial examination, but the female emperor was a昏君 (enlightened monarch in reverse, meaning a foolish ruler). He had no choice but to idle away his days, h...
Sanchuankou, on a valley.
Li Yinhuan looked around, and it didn't look like a place suitable for an ambush. She asked in confusion, "Why did you choose such a place?"
"It's completely open ground all around, there's no way to set up an ambush!"
Pharmacist Li smiled slightly: "No, this place is very good, think about it again."
Li Yinhuan frowned, confused and unable to figure it out.
Suddenly, Pharmacist Li said in a deep voice, "Here they come!"
Li Yinhuan looked up from the hill and saw that Sanchuankou was already covered in white. The rebels on the opposite side entered the plain from the mountains, and their formation expanded immediately, forming a skirmish line and advancing cautiously.
Looking for a suitable place to set up camp.
They fought bloody battles, one after another, step by step, and finally reached Sanchuankou as they wished.
"When do we start?" Li Yinhuan asked.
"No rush." Pharmacist Li's eyes were sharp and he was very calm.
Soon, the vanguard troops had found a place and set up a simple camp.
The army commanders are arranging the subsequent work in an orderly manner.
The soldiers, who had worked hard for several days, fell into a deep sleep as soon as they lay down on their beds.
In the distant valley.
Li Yinhuan was a little anxious. "General Li, if we don't take action now, I'm afraid we won't have another chance."
"This camp is well-prepared and well-organized. There are basically no weak points or loopholes."
"If we attack by force, the losses will be too great!"
Pharmacist Li chuckled and said, "When they have set up camp and want to rest, we will attack them again."
"Don't fight too long, just fight every half an hour."
"We can't let them get comfortable tonight."
Li Yinhuan finally understood her father's plan.
This is intended to grind these eight thousand people to death.
They have 30,000 men and can attack in batches.
But there are only 8,000 people on the opposite side, so we must be fully prepared to deal with it.
…
Midnight.
Li Yinhuan, with a hundred men, rode on horseback and quietly sneaked towards Hua Zijian's camp.
Wait until you are within two hundred steps.
"call out--"
A rocket was launched into the sky.
Then the gongs and drums started beating loudly.
"Enemy attack—"
"Enemy attack—"
Shouts rang out one after another.
Seeing that she was exposed, Li Yinhuan no longer hid and roared in a delicate voice, "Kill!"
The soldiers behind him also shouted angrily: "Kill, kill, kill!"
There were only a hundred or so people, but they seemed to have the momentum of thousands of people.
"Who attacked at night?"
Yan Minshi roared after getting up in his pajamas.
"Don't worry, Second Young Master. Just hold the stronghold and the enemy won't be able to break in." Hua Zijian came out wearing only a single layer of clothing.
Yan Minshi was puzzled and asked, "If you wanted to ambush us, why didn't you attack us when we set up camp? Why wait until now?"
Hua Zijian walked out of the tent, sword in hand, and said, "We are well prepared. They will definitely not succeed."
"Second Young Master, follow me to take a look!"
The two had just arrived at the front line.
Li Yinhuan galloped to the front of the camp and shouted into the camp: "Hua Zijian, do you dare to fight me?"
Hua Zijian said coldly: "Shoot!"
The rebels drew their bows and crossbows, and arrows rained down on the solitary figure.
Li Yinhuan laughed loudly and said, "Liu Ping! You're just an incompetent rat!"
As he spoke, he rushed forward again, drew his bow and shot and killed several enemy soldiers in succession.
Hua Zijian muttered, "Let Hua Yisun go out and strangle this cavalry."
When Li Yinhuan saw the village gate open, he knew that someone was coming to encircle him, so he immediately turned his horse around and ran away with his men.
Come and go in a hurry.
He only shot and injured a few dozen people and then disappeared.
Seeing the enemy is so slippery.
Yan Minshi was horrified and cried out, "Oh no! Not good!"
"We've fallen into a trap. This is the enemy's strategy to tire us out!"
Hua Zijian also frowned. This was very difficult to deal with.
When the enemy attacks, we must be on guard.
Suddenly it turns out to be true.
But if they keep going back and forth tonight, will they be able to rest?
We can only send out scouts and fight a scout war.
It's just that the enemy is cunning and familiar with the terrain, and the losses are too heavy...
Hua Zijian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to have a peaceful night. Does the Second Young Master have any ideas?"
Yan Minshi thought for a moment and muttered, "How about extending the sentry post another two hundred steps outwards? Once we're sure it's a large enemy force attacking, then we can sound the alarm."
Hua Zijian sighed, "This is the only way. The soldiers are tired and need to rest for a while."
"We are alone and deep in the enemy's territory, so we have to be cautious."
Yan Minshi said angrily, "If I had known this would happen, I should have fought my way out of the Lieshan Mountains. It would have been better than being led by the nose..."
…
Jingzhou City.
Qin Yuan sat in the carriage, slightly absent-minded.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong!
Why did this stupid woman ask him to enter the palace?
It's unscientific!
It was as if he was sure that he had a way to force him to come up with an idea.
This stupid woman announced in the court that the rebellion would be quelled within half a month.
I want him to come up with some ideas and solutions.
What a joke!
When two armies face off, what they compete for is their strength on the battlefield.
Just take it one step at a time and respond to each situation as it arises.
First, defeat the vanguard, and then find a way to defeat the main force.
But why did this stupid woman have to look for him?
Can’t you discuss it with Pharmacist Li?
It was as if I knew that he had an idea.
The more I think about it, the more something seems wrong.
Why does this stupid woman always bother him with everything?
How can he live his life like this...
Why is that?
How did this stupid woman suddenly catch my attention?
At first, he was asked to quell the bandits outside the city.
Even if we want to find someone to take the blame, there are plenty of people in Da Zhou, so why look for him?
Then, he came out in disguise, as if he was deliberately trying to get a free meal.
Damn it.
He was so low-key, how on earth did this stupid woman catch attention of him?
Qin Yuan couldn't figure it out.
Is there a traitor in the family?
I'm so bored!
Place an undercover agent next to an idle person like him.
Instead of wasting time, it would be better to just kill those ministers directly.
Besides, who could be undercover in his house!
