Shao Qing repeatedly told herself not to be impatient, but she didn't expect that a turning point would come so soon.

After sending Wei Jing off to the battle, the camp became much quieter. She suppressed her complicated thoughts and focused on the matters at hand.

Shao Qing is currently busy with the treatment of refugees.

Since Wei Jing's side had already taken the lead in this matter, they had to continue to rescue the refugees to the end. Otherwise, the energy and effort spent previously would not only be in vain, but would also have a counterproductive effect.

There is Ziwu Road in the central part of Hanzhong, which leads directly to Guanzhong. There was a severe drought in Sizhou on the other side last year, and the central part became the area with the most refugees.

There were many refugees, and Wei Jing's reputation was rising. Even though he was stationed in the suburbs, poor people and refugees from towns and villages far and near gathered around him. In addition, Yan Ming had superb medical skills and had saved many dying patients before. Many people came to him because of his reputation, especially those with strange diseases and those with children.

After discussion, Shao Qing and others set aside a small area at the southern edge of the camp as a medical tent and medicine shed. She and Kou Xuan have been busy with this matter recently.

"Have the medicinal materials been stored?"

In the morning light, Shao Qing walked towards the medical tent and stopped on a gentle slope about forty or fifty feet away. She looked up. The medical tent was in good order, with sick refugees queuing up consciously. Although it was a bit noisy, it was not chaotic. She nodded and asked about the new batch of herbs.

Wang Jing bowed and said, "Madam, everything has been stored properly."

He led dozens of personal guards to protect Shao Qing closely.

Wei Jing issued a strict order whether he was on a campaign or not, stating that except for the central army tent, his personal guards were not allowed to leave Shao Qing without permission.

Shao Qing himself also paid attention to this.

Although she tried her best, she never went deep into the refugees' group. The closest she came was to standing not far away and watching from a distance. The area between the medical tent and the main camp was heavily guarded, and she was protected by her personal guards.

The son of a wealthy family should not sit in the hall alone. As one's status is different, it is necessary for him to be more cautious.

Wei Jing was very satisfied and relieved. Ji Huan and others nodded secretly. Kou Xuan took the initiative to take on the task of going deep into the refugees' community.

Of course, there are people who disagree, and this person who doesn’t fit in is undoubtedly Yan Ming. He passed by Shao Qing, glanced at Wang Jing and others who were gathered in three layers inside and outside, and curled his lips as usual.

"lady."

Yan Ming walked towards the medical tent with great arrogance. Kou Yue, who was carrying a medicine box on her back, was in a dilemma. She bowed and greeted him, and hurriedly explained: "Madam, Brother Yan..."

Huh?

When did Doctor Yan become Brother Yan?

The girl looked anxious, but Shao Qing didn't care at all. He smiled and waved, "It's okay, go ahead."

She warned: "The number of refugees will not decrease in the short term. You need to rest and don't overwork yourself."

We have been camping here for six or seven days, and more and more refugees are gathering here. This is a protracted war, and the right thing to do is to relax and work hard at the right time.

After a busy month, Kou Yue lost weight due to exhaustion. But it was obvious that she really enjoyed doing this. Although she had lost weight, her big, clear eyes had regained their spirit.

She said cheerfully, "I am not tired ma'am."

Even though it was hard, she felt happy that she could help the refugees and relieve their suffering.

"Yue Niang?"

Yan Ming, who had already walked far away, called out, and Kou Yue hurriedly responded, turning back and saying, "Madam, I'm on my way there."

"Go ahead." Shao Qing laughed and shook his head.

Kou Yue turned around hurriedly, and Shao Qing continued to look, this time looking past the medical tent and outside the camp.

There is limited space in the medical tent, and the camp cannot accommodate so many refugees whose backgrounds are unknown, so except for the seriously ill patients, no one else can stay there. The refugees were also very understanding. Those with mild symptoms took the medicine for the day and left on their own accord, finding a place outside the camp to temporarily stay.

Outside the camp is actually a wilderness, but the refugees who have been wandering all the way don’t care. They just need to find a drier place.

There were many patients with mild symptoms, and including their companions, a large number of people gathered outside the South Camp over the past six or seven days, roughly estimated to be four to five thousand.

In the early morning, the refugees who had been sleeping outdoors all got up and went to another stream behind them one after another. Children were crying or playing, and adults were shouting at them to take out their dry food. It was a busy scene in the morning.

Compared to the dullness of the past month, it is now clearly more lively.

There are just a few more people. In order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation, Wei Jing made a rule that the number of refugees gathered outside the camp should not exceed 5,000, and if the number exceeded, they would be temporarily persuaded to leave.

However, if we calculate the time, the first group of people who came here are almost recovered from their illness, and the number of people will drop after they leave. If the cycle continues in the future, it should not exceed the standard.

Shao Qing thought about it for a moment, nodded, turned around and was about to go back.

"Huh?"

When she turned around, she inadvertently glanced at the refugees outside the camp. Because she just remembered "to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the troubled waters", suddenly, she saw something different at this glance.

Hey, the location of the refugees today is a little different from yesterday!

There is a medical tent inside the south gate of the camp, and no one is allowed to stay for long unless they are seriously ill. As time goes by, more and more refugees gather outside the South Gate, and the area where they sleep outdoors becomes wider and wider. This is normal.

But what Shao Qing discovered was that today's camping area had changed significantly compared to the previous few days. It no longer spreads out evenly with the South Camp Gate as the center point, but instead stretches out two wings, extending a long distance to both sides along the main camp.

It wasn't very obvious, and one wouldn't have noticed anything if one was in the situation, but Shao Qing was looking down from such a high position that he could see it at a glance.

Her heart skipped a beat.

This shape is a bit, a bit...

“It’s like an embrace.”

Shao Qing quickly turned around and saw that it was Ji Huan who had come and was standing about seven or eight steps away from her. She hurried over and said, "Mr. Ji, do you also feel that this is not right?"

When it comes to danger, Shao Qing has a very keen sixth sense. Although he may not be able to sense it every time, he usually doesn't make mistakes when he does. She was feeling uneasy and had just thought about talking to Ji Huan when he arrived.

Ji Huan nodded: "The surrounding situation is conducive to making a feint to the east and attacking in the west."

He was good at military tactics, and when he walked out and took a look, he immediately discovered the subtlety. After squinting his eyes for a while, he suddenly fixed his gaze: "Madam, look!"

Shao Qing hurriedly looked in the direction indicated.

Because of the distance, she squinted her eyes and looked for a while, but saw that at the location where Ji Huan pointed, there were a few refugees who did look a bit strange.

He was wearing tattered clothes and was so dirty that his face could not be seen. He was thin, but if you looked closely, you could see that he did not have the skinny look that was common among refugees.

Fake!

camouflage!

These two words suddenly flashed through Shao Qing's mind.

She glanced around hurriedly, and only after a careful look did she discover that there were many similar people. They were also surrounding a patient, but they were basically far away from where the soldiers gathered at the south camp gate, and they could be mistaken for real patients in the crowd.

"Mr. Ji!"

Those who come with evil intentions will not come, and those with good intentions will not come. Wei Jing led a large army to fight yesterday, and the positions of these people immediately changed quietly.

Whose people?

Zhenquan Army? Or the Tsai-Zhou coalition?

Ji Huan said slowly: "Catch a few quietly and you will know after the interrogation."

…

This time when Wei Jing went to war, he specially left Han Xi to guard the camp. Shao Qing immediately called him over. The three of them had a brief discussion, and Han Xi hurried out with a gloomy face.

The results came out at noon that day.

Shao Qing didn't expect that he was the one coming for him.

…

"Wow, I said, I said..."

In an inconspicuous tent, there was a vague cry. There were experts in criminal law among the Qing Zhai Guards, and it didn't take long before the Zhenquan Army, which was composed of refugees, could no longer bear it and revealed everything.

"It's Cai Yu!"

The washed, ruddy-faced lean man, as soon as the cloth gagged him was torn off, burst into tears and said, "This was Cai's idea!"

Cai Yu? !

It actually involves the joint forces of two counties?

These two parties are secretly colluding?

Shao Qing and the other two looked at each other, and Han Xi shouted, "Why don't you explain clearly now?"

"Yes! Yes..."

…

It turned out that the Zhenquan Army and the coalition forces of the two counties were indeed in secret contact, and it was Cai Yu who took the initiative to contact Xu Jin. Ten days ago, the two were defeated and had to retreat to the west.

Cai Yu said that if we continue like this, it won't be long before we both fail, and we need to find another way to stop the decline.

The two reached a cooperation agreement and took a different approach to target Shao Qing.

Cai Yu was certain that as long as he could get Yang Ze's wife in his hands, the downward trend would be stopped and he could even turn the tide.

I don't know how the two men communicated with each other, but the plan was quickly finalized. Both sides selected short and thin men from their confidants, disguised them as refugees, and lurked back.

"After the selection, about a thousand people were found to be eligible and will be led by Chen Junhou."

This Chen Junhou is Cai Yu’s confidant. In fact, they selected short and thin soldiers. Cai Zhou and his men all had regular troops under their command, and their number was far less than that of the Zhenquan Army. However, Chen Junhou was obviously smart and capable. In order to make his plan successful, Xu Jin did not compete.

Starting seven days ago, real patients with mild symptoms were not allowed to be accompanied by their family members into the medical tent. More than a hundred or a thousand enemy troops were lurking in position in one day.

"Mrs. Yang is in charge of rescuing the refugees."

They talked to each other, and among them there was a sergeant named Zhenquan, so he knew a lot.

"When the army set out yesterday, Chen Junhou wanted to launch a surprise attack, but unfortunately the lady never approached the medical tent and there were many guards around her, so we had to give up for now. However, Chen Junhou seemed to have another idea and told us to quietly guide the refugees to spread to the two sides and blend in with them."

These people couldn't explain any more, but Ji Huan and others understood that it must be a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. The capture of the enemy would have the highest chance of success if they created chaos and attacked when Shao Qing was closest to the medical tent every day.

The enemy came with a weapon, a sharp short knife wrapped in a cloth strip, which was wrapped around the inside of the thigh.

Han Xi snorted coldly: "Do you think you can kidnap the lady by creating chaos?"

It's just a daydream!

Wei Jing always gave death orders. If he couldn't take both into account, Shao Qing's safety must be the first priority. The strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was not so effective, unless he could hit the target right away at the beginning. But in addition to the dozens of Wang Jing's men who were close to Shao Qing, there were also five hundred elite Qing Zhai guards not far away. They seemed to be patrolling and had nothing to do with him, but they were actually guarding by his side.

It is impossible to hit the target with one shot.

"Cai Yu and Xu Jin are just wishful thinking, but for us, this is a great opportunity."

Wei Jing attached great importance to Shao Qing, and he didn't know how the enemy noticed this matter, but attracting Ji Huan's attention was another focus.

"Taurus Road!"

Shao Qing responded immediately. She and Ji Huan looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Yes, it's a surprise.

The two men immediately thought that they could use this as an excuse to attack Taurus Road.

Shao Qing, Ji Huan and Han Xi immediately avoided several captives. Not far from the small tent was the top of the hill. The three of them simply walked up and looked down at the medical tent of the South Camp and the refugees outside the camp a hundred feet away.

"Cai Yu, Zhou Peng and the Zhenquan Army are secretly communicating. This is a godsend opportunity."

Ji Huan's eyes were gleaming: "Once the two join forces to attack our camp, we can openly attack the coalition forces of the two counties!"

Although the two sides are now in a mess, the reality is that it still cannot be brought to the table. But once there is this excellent excuse, the situation will be completely different.

Even after defeating the joint forces of the two counties, you can pursue them without annihilating them, drive them into the Jinniu Road, and directly pursue them to the two counties of Yongchang and Yiliang, and take advantage of the situation to capture the two counties.

In Gucheng, He Hong must be overjoyed and will do his best to deal with it.

"What you said is absolutely right!" Han Xishao Qing's heart was pounding and he agreed repeatedly.

"If we delay, something unexpected will happen. We need to implement this plan as soon as possible, and before the lord's army returns to the camp."

The key to this strategy is that the enemy must clearly break into the main camp, which is irrefutable evidence. But if Wei Jing's army returns, the enemy's chance of success in the attack will be almost zero, and they will most likely retreat.

Ji Huan analyzed the pros and cons clearly in an instant, and then he bowed to Shao Qing and said, "Madam, tomorrow I will ask you to stop in front of the medical tent for a while as usual to lure the enemy away."

Shao Qing is the key target. If she doesn't appear, not only will the enemy not take action, but they will also be alert.

Of course Ji Huan didn't dare let her take risks. There were 10,000 elite soldiers hidden on both sides. Shao Qing would retreat quickly if the enemy made a move. She usually stood in this position outside the range of bows and arrows, so there was no risk if she moved around.

Han Xi also understood this, so after a slight hesitation, he did not object.

"good!"

Shao Qing knew how critical this matter was, so she agreed without hesitation: "Mr. Ji, let's write to my husband first, and then make arrangements immediately."

The opportunity was fleeting, and I could not ask Wei Jing for permission to take further action, but it was necessary to write a letter to inform him. The three of them immediately entered a tent beside them. Ji Huan wrote a letter and Shao Qing also wrote a letter.

She wrote down the details of the plan carefully, especially noting that although it was called luring the enemy, there was actually no risk. Wei Jing didn't want her to take the risk of letting Shao Qing know, but she wouldn't risk her own life either.

After the ink dried and sealing wax was used, Han Xi sent his confidant to deliver the letter immediately. The three of them then sat down to discuss the specific plans for the next day.

"Relax on the outside but be cautious on the inside. Move quietly tonight and hide 10,000 soldiers in the tents near the South Camp. Especially where Madam is, we must have the elite troops from the Qing Zhai Camp. We cannot afford any mistakes."

"Well, I will personally select the person. Tomorrow I will be in disguise and guard the lady. There will be no mistakes."

Wei Jing valued Shao Qing very much, and Ji Huan and Han Xi knew it well. Even though the location was within a safe range, the two of them were extremely cautious. They discussed it again and again and set up heavy defenses to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

When it comes to one's own affairs, one can never be too cautious. Shao Qing did not object and instead added a few suggestions at the right time.

The key to this plan is actually Dongfeng. The operation is very simple and it only takes a quarter of an hour to discuss and it will be done. Han Xi stood up and bowed to Shao Qing: "Madam, I will take my leave now."

He's going to go down and make arrangements.

Shao Qing nodded quickly: "You..." You go.

“Ah! Ah!”

Shao Qing was interrupted by a sudden scream before he could finish his words. There were faint screams, seemingly coming from the direction of the medical tent in the South Camp.

She was stunned and her mouth was shut. There was a loud noise coming from the distance outside the tent.

"Brothers, attack!"

A high-pitched male voice roared, "That woman is in the tent on the top of the hill! If you succeed, you will be promoted three levels and rewarded with a hundred gold coins! If not, you will all be beheaded!"
