Not long after, General Wan came over on horseback with his deputy general and a hundred soldiers. He was afraid that they were enemy soldiers, and bringing more people would allow him to capture them. This was a precautionary measure.
"Who are you?" General Wan looked at Gao Xuankai and felt that he looked familiar.
"General Wan, hello! We are from His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. Following His Royal Highness's orders, we are here to assist General Wan. Reinforcements will arrive soon."
"This is a secret letter from His Highness. Please take a look, General?"
Gao Xuankai gave the general a superior salute and then respectfully handed over the secret letter.
Gao Xuankai and General Wan were not of the same rank, and Gao Xuankai had no problem paying respects to General Wan as a superior.
General Wan opened the secret letter and looked at its contents, feeling excited.
Although he didn't know what a grenade was, he had heard that the thunder that appeared in Fuso was so powerful that it even blew up the royal palace of Fuso.
At that time, I heard that Princess Jiahui was abducted to Fusang Kingdom and later returned safely.
He thought that the so-called heavenly thunder should be the grenade mentioned in His Highness's letter.
"Chief Gao, Commander Zhu, and Deputy Commander Li, you have all been exhausted from the long journey. This general will take you to rest." General Wan said respectfully and politely with a joyful smile on his face.
His soldiers were terrified and looked at General Wan in shock, not understanding why their general was being so polite to those people. Even though they were the prince's men, the general didn't need to be so flattering.
"General Wan, you're too polite. We can't afford this. We still have some things to do. Please have someone arrange for their accommodation and send us a carriage. We need to leave the city to retrieve the contents of the secret letter." Gao Xuankai said quickly and respectfully. His rank was not as high as General Wan's, so he couldn't afford this.
"No problem!" General Wan asked his deputy general to pull the carriage over.
Although the deputy general was relentless, he still did as he was told and soon drove a carriage over.
Gao Xuankai took the carriage and sat on the eaves. Li Boyu and Zhu Yan got on the carriage. The soldiers guarding the city gate quickly opened the gate. Gao Xuankai drove the carriage out of the city gate and rushed towards the place where the plane was hidden.
General Wan ordered his deputy to take the secret guards to a yard at the back of the county government office and told the soldiers to tell him if Gao Xuan drove them back.
After arriving at the destination, he opened the plane door, moved the grenades inside onto the carriage, covered it again, and then drove the carriage back to the county town.
The soldier standing on the watchtower looked at the carriage and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened to let the carriage in.
Gao Xuankai drove all the way to the county government office and drove into the courtyard arranged by General Wan.
At this time, the secret guard had already made the beds and was helping Gao Xuankai and the others clean up the room and make the beds.
"Chief Gao, Commander Zhu, Deputy Commander Li, you are back? We have already prepared the rooms for you." The secret guards came forward excitedly when they saw their leader.
These secret guards are subordinates of Gao Xuankai, Zhu Yanduan and Li Boyu. They are all loyal and highly skilled in martial arts.
"Well, you guys have worked hard. Take the grenades off the carriage and put them in a yard. Send people to guard it in shifts. Don't let outsiders enter that room.
Also, you cannot light a fire when you enter the room." Gao Xuankai warned the secret guard seriously.
"Yes, Chief Gao, we will keep it in mind!" the secret guards said in unison.
The secret guards began to move the grenades, and Gao Xuankai, Zhu Yanduan, and Li Boyu each went back to their rooms to rest.
I didn’t sleep all night and I don’t have enough energy.
As soon as he lay down, General Wan came over with the magistrate of Jinghua County, Wei.
Gao Xuankai, Zhu Yanduan and Li Boyu had no choice but to get up to entertain them and chat with them.
The Yan Chi Army’s garrison in the suburbs.
"General, our spies reported: This morning, Jinghua County opened its gates, and a carriage drove out. Our men followed them to see who they were, so they could capture them alive. But they didn't follow us for long before they discovered us and killed us.
In less than half an hour, the carriage drove into the county town from another direction. Our spies felt something was wrong and quietly followed the route they took, but did not find any of our people.
I don’t know whether he was killed or taken into the county town by carriage.”
Lieutenant General Bai of the Yan Chi Army reported the information obtained by the spies to the general inside the tent.
The Yan Chi Kingdom sent their great general, General Lan Guangze. He was a resourceful and calm general, a rare combination of both civil and military talents.
King Chi of Yan sent him here because he was determined to conquer the Jin Dynasty and was afraid that the three countries would tear up the alliance and monopolize the Jin Dynasty.
"Oh, I see. Our people are probably in danger. Let the spies continue to investigate!" Lan Guangze just spoke calmly, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
If people who don’t know him, they would think he is a playboy who doesn’t care about military affairs. People who know him know that the calmer and more indifferent he is, the more he is thinking about countermeasures.
His deputy general was familiar with him and naturally knew that the general was thinking of a countermeasure.
It turned out that Gao Xuankai, Zhu Yanduan and Li Boyu discovered that someone was following them as soon as they left the county town.
Zhu Yanduan and Li Boyu discussed countermeasures in a low voice in the carriage, and then gestured to Gao Xuankai. Gao Xuankai immediately changed direction, took them in another direction, led them into the mountains, and killed them.
Then he went to the place where the plane was hidden, moved the grenades from the plane into the carriage, and covered it again.
They knew that there must be enemy spies outside the city gate. In order to confuse them, Gao Xuankai, Zhu Yanduan and Li Boyu all agreed to come out from the opposite direction.
Their guess turned out to be correct. When they returned to the city gate, they heard faint breathing sounds. In order not to alert the enemy, they pretended not to know and drove the carriage into Jinghua County.
Gao Xuankai, Li Boyu, and Zhu Yanduan informed General Wan and Magistrate Wei of their discovery of the enemy's spies.
"What? There are spies under the city gate. This general will send people to capture them immediately." General Wan said angrily.
His brows were glaring, his eyes were spewing anger, his fists were clenched, and veins were bulging. Under his noses, his soldiers had no idea that the enemy was spying on their every move.
"Wait a minute?
General, calm down. If we capture them, it will alert them and make them aware of the situation.
Why don't we pretend to be ignorant to confuse them, and then use their tricks to see what they are up to?" Gao Xuankai restrained the furious General Wan, tried to persuade him, and expressed his opinion.
"Okay, according to Chief Gao's suggestion, we should wait and see what conspiracies the other party has." General Wan felt that Chief Gao was right. We must not alert the enemy and should first see what conspiracies they have. Anyway, they have grenades in their hands, so there is no need to be afraid of them.
After the discussion, General Wan took County Magistrate Wei and said goodbye, and Gao Xuankai and the other two went back to their rooms to rest.
General Lan thought for half an hour and decided to attack at night.
He didn't know why the other party left the city today. If they were looking for reinforcements or plotting some big conspiracy, he felt uneasy about losing control of the situation. He wanted to take the initiative to attack, catch them off guard, and break up their conspiracy.
Night attack is the best method, as people are most sleepy late at night.
As long as they attacked the fort, he could easily jump into the city wall, open the city gate, and let the army in.
