Chapter 193

Evening.

Prefecture Yamen.

Council Hall.

"Since everyone is here, let's start!"

Chen Yan glanced, finally landed his gaze on Zu Ting, and said: "Sima Zu, you are the main official of Jingzhou military affairs, have the most experience in suppressing the Jinghong Society, and are most familiar with the terrain of Wangmu Palace Mountain, how about you start?"

In that tone that seemed to be discussing, it was an unspeakable order.

The crowd heard this and also looked at this Jingzhou Sima.

You took my military power, and only then did you remember that I am the main official of Jingzhou military affairs... Zu Ting snorted in his heart, his face had no strange color, and he respectfully cupped his fists: "Lord Chen Yan, we have all had failed experiences before, which are not worth referring to and learning from, so as not to affect your judgment!"

Obviously, Zu Ting had resentment in his heart and didn't want to cooperate at all...

But the wording was extremely beautiful, and no flaws could be picked out at all.

"No matter!"

Chen Yan waved his hand, smiled calmly, "With failed experiences, latecomers can avoid that problem, right?"

After a pause, he added, "Stepping on the shoulders of predecessors to succeed, naturally won't forget the merits of predecessors!"

In Chen Yan's eyes, Zu Ting is a "wrong question set"...

Avoiding the pits he stepped on makes it easier to get the correct answer.

Wang Xiong took up the conversation, examined the shifty Zu Ting, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and asked meaningfully: "Lord Chen Yan's reputation, Sima Zu should have heard of it..."

"What he is like to his own people and enemies, presumably you also know clearly, right?"

After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to Chen Yan, who looked harmless to humans and animals.

Between the lines, all hid threats.

These two are singing the red face and the white face, and are using both kindness and power... Zu Ting saw this, muttered in his heart, switched his face instantly, and said immediately: "The Jinghong Society thieves are extremely cunning and crafty, as long as our Jingzhou bandit-suppression army arrives at the foot of the mountain, they will immediately break into pieces, escape into the mountains, and cannot concentrate superior forces to annihilate..."

"Therefore, our bandit-suppression army often returns empty-handed!"

Zu Ting was extremely obedient.

Because those who know the current affairs are heroes, there is no need to go against it...

You must know that the master sitting in the main seat is the Great Zhou Poetry Immortal, the young military god, but even more so the Zhuque Mirror Keeper!

What kind of place is the Mingjing Si? He, Zu Ting, hasn't been in, but can he not have heard of it?

Can someone who can lead a guard alone at this age not be a ruthless person?

"Yes, and once the large army retreats, the Jinghong Society banditry will gather again and harass the surrounding people..." Xiao Lin chimed in.

Jingzhou officials such as Sima Han Changluan also made their own additions.

The enemy advances and I retreat, Ming Shaoxia's guerrilla tactics are really played well... Chen Yan listened to their exposition, laughed secretly in his heart, and commented on the Jinghong Society: "A group of slippery loaches!"

Dou Lu Ling and the others heard this and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

That description was very appropriate, caught but couldn't catch, once touched it would slip away, if not a loach, what is it?

"I wonder if Lord Chen Yan has a good strategy to gather and annihilate?" Zu Ting asked.

Chen Yan smiled indifferently, rubbed his chin with his left hand, and said playfully: "The Jinghong Society scatters before fighting because there is not enough interest drive..."

"Sima Zu, what do you think about using Chen and the Prince Heir of Jin as bait?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, pointed to himself, and pointed to Yuwen Ze beside him.

All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit.

The Jinghong Society doesn't fight to the death with the bandit-suppression army because doing so has a hundred harms and no benefits!

Even if they defeated the Jingzhou troops head-on, the imperial court could still send other troops, and their own strength would be damaged...

But people are greedy, what if they throw out bait they have to be tempted by?

"What does this mean?!" Xiao Lin, Zu Ting, and other Jingzhou officials looked at each other and asked in surprise.

They were so shocked, not because they didn't understand, but because they probably guessed the content...

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows, crossed his ten fingers, and said in a deep voice: "It means the two of us will raise the banner, lead a weak army, and drive straight to Wangmu Palace Mountain..."

"When the Jinghong Society leaders hear this, they will surely have the heart to capture the two of us to threaten the Great Chancellor and the imperial court!"

"They will definitely come out in full force and attack and kill regardless of everything!"

"At that time, the elite large army ambushed on the left and right will seize the opportunity to kill out, and the Jinghong Society will have nowhere to escape!"

One is an important minister of the imperial court and the main official for suppressing bandits, and the other is the Prince Heir of Jin. What is the gold content, it goes without saying.

As long as the Jinghong Society leaders are not stupid, they will definitely have the heart to capture and catch alive...

And Ming Shaoxia is just a smart person!

Chen Yan just took advantage of this point of his, making the plan to lure the snake out of the hole!

"Wonderful!"

Zu Ting listened and was amazed, his eyes shone, and he almost blurted out.

After a pause, as if he thought of something again, he continued: "But Lord Chen Yan, you and the Prince Heir of Jin being bait is too risky. What if some accident happens in the chaotic battle..."

Speaking of this, he didn't say any more.

Full of worry.

It cannot be denied that the plan is a good plan, fishing law enforcement, not afraid that the Jinghong Society won't take the bait!

It's just that soldiers have no eyes, and no one can ensure that it is foolproof...

If some accident happens, the Great Chancellor will be furious, and no one can bear that responsibility!

"Rest assured, what are our identities?"

"Naturally, it is impossible to take risks personally..."

Chen Yan heard this, smiled indifferently, pressed his hand, held his head high, and said: "I have experts under my command who can perform the art of disguise!"

"Find two people with similar figures, disguise them as the appearance of the two of us, wouldn't that solve it?"

Chen Yan is someone who cherishes his life, especially since he is taking Yuwen Ze to take risks together, it is even more impossible...

Therefore, while he thought of the bait strategy, he also thought of disguise, the method of faking the real!

In such a large Anding City, can't you find two people with similar figures?

Let the fake "Chen Yan" and "Yuwen Ze" act as bait to hedge the risk, while the real two sit in the garrison camp...

Safe and worry-free!

"High!"

Zu Ting was startled, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and sighed.

The rest of the Jingzhou officials were also caught off guard...

They never expected that they could still play like this?!

"How exactly did Brother Chen's brain grow, why can it be so flexible?" Dou Lu Ling exhaled a turbid breath and thought to himself.

At that moment, he finally understood why the Qinzhou rebel army was defeated so miserably...

Being an enemy of such a talented person with strange plans is really bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"Then the Jinghong Society has been entrenched in Jingzhou for several years, right?"

Chen Yan slowly stood up, raised his hand, suddenly clenched it into a fist, smashed it on the table, and said sternly: "This time, we must achieve success in one battle!"

The next day.

Top of Kuocang Peak.

This place is not near or far from Wangmu Palace Mountain, the distance is just right, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the garrison command post selected by Chen Yan.

The cowhide tent of the Central Army Camp shone slightly in the steaming heat.

Eight vermilion commander banners were inserted at the four corners of the camp, the silk hung down in the heat wave, and the Chi patterns embroidered with gold thread swayed lazily with the heat wind that occasionally swept past.

The soldiers on the watchtower were shirtless, filled the bronze mirror with well water, and the sun in the reflection shattered into jumping gold foil.

"Everyone come in!"

Chen Yan's voice rang out in the tent.

The crowd waiting outside got permission, walked into the tent, and two Chen Yans and Yuwen Zes came into view, and they couldn't help but sigh: "Like, too like!"

"The two Lord Chen Yans and the Prince Heir of Jin are almost exactly the same..."

"Basically impossible to distinguish!"

"This art of disguise is truly inconceivable!"

The figure is the same, the face is the same, even the hair and eyes are the same, they basically can't distinguish who is who...

"Now is not the time to sigh at the exquisiteness of the technique..."

Chen Yan, sitting in the main seat, pressed his hand, interrupted everyone's exclamation, and asked: "Everyone, the tasks I arranged for you, have you all remembered?"

The deployment Chen Yan made is actually not complicated...

Liu Yuanjing stayed behind in Anding City, "Fake Chen Yan" and "Fake Yuwen Ze" acted according to the plan with Wang Xiong and the six of them, as well as Zu Ting, Xiao Lin, and others leading the army.

And he led two thousand old, weak, and disabled soldiers, together with Yuwen Ze and the remaining Jingzhou officials, to hold the Kuocang Peak camp.

"Lord Chen Yan, rest assured, we have already understood it in our hearts!" The crowd responded in unison.

"Good!"

Chen Yan's gaze was like a torch, he waved his hand suddenly, and said loudly: "Then set out!"

"After annihilating the Jinghong Society, I will request merit for you from the Great Chancellor!"

"Thank you, Lord Chen Yan!"

The voice fell.

Wang Xiong, Xiao Lin, and others left the tent separately, and according to the assigned tasks, each led the army to set out for Wangmu Palace Mountain.

One hour later.

Kuocang Peak.

Central Army Tent.

Yuwen Ze was inexplicably panicked, couldn't stop pacing back and forth, and asked: "A Xiong, you say they have all left, almost an hour..."

"Have they already hooked the Jinghong Society?"

Chen Yan was extremely steady, closed his eyes to rest, and said unhurriedly: "Don't be impatient, that mere wild mountain bandit, how can there be no reason to take the bait?"

"They have mostly already engaged in battle, we just wait for the good news!"

Between the lines, it was all disdain for the Jinghong Society.

Just at this moment, an abnormality suddenly came from outside the tent, and immediately the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky:

"Brothers, charge!"

"Kill Chen Yan!"

"Capture the Prince Heir of Jin alive!"
