Lin Tingxuan's slender fingers landed on a certain point: "Do you think the enemy army will think that we will guess that they have an ambush and then make countermeasures? Sometimes military information that is too easy to find out can be regarded as an ambush."
Everyone was shocked, that’s right!
Tang Jin's expression froze. He secretly clenched his fists and smiled: "Let's hear what General Lin has to offer."
He sent the person out to find out the information, and now he said that the enemy information might be fake!
Could it be that he was worried that he would take most of the credit this time, so he deliberately denied his idea
But he is the commander-in-chief. If the battle is won, the greatest credit will fall on him. This is the benefit of being the commander-in-chief.
Why should he put pressure on himself again!
Tang Jin was unhappy!
He wanted to hear if he had any better ideas.
"Zhang Jingzhong, the general who led the troops in the Southern Border Kingdom this time, is famous for being cautious in his troops, thoughtful and fond of cavalry! He will definitely consider that if Vice General Tang leads his troops from here to bypass Qiling Mountain and enter the grove behind, Then he will set up an ambush on this hilltop. As long as our soldiers pass by, they will definitely not be able to avoid their ambush."
Qiangzi said at this time: "General, I have inquired about it. There are no enemy troops in this place, and no ambush such as stones has been arranged."
"People in southern Xinjiang are good at using poisons, and they don't necessarily use stones like us for ambushes. Just in case, Deputy Tang will lead you with three thousand soldiers and horses to bypass Qiling Mountain and pass through this valley to destroy the enemy's ambush. Zhang Lieutenant general, tomorrow you will bring five thousand soldiers and horses from the entrance to the south of Qiling Mountain..." Lin Tingxuan pointed at the map.
When Tang Jin heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt Lin Tingxuan and pointed to a certain point on the map: "General Lin, didn't you just say that the enemy might ambush here? Why did you send Deputy General Zhang in here now?"
Everyone also looked at Lin Tingxuan with confusion.
Lin Tingxuan couldn't explain it so clearly to them. After all, it was Xiao Hei who found out.
He said calmly: "Have you already faced the ambush here? They will definitely try their best to get you into the ambush. The enemy army will definitely not expect that someone from us will come in from here, so this ambush is not enough." Afraid?"
Tang Jin wanted to say something else, but Lin Tingxuan said: "Time is running out, listen to what I have to say, and don't interrupt me!"
Tang Jin: "......"
He couldn't help but clenched his fists, he was so angry!
Isn't it nonsense to ask him to order three thousand soldiers and horses to take such a long detour
Lin Tingxuan continued: "After Vice General Zhang led five thousand troops through Qiling Mountain, he divided his troops into two groups..."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this: "The general is wise! Does the general want to lure the enemy troops into the ambush they set up by themselves? Let them fall into their own ambush?"
Lin Tingxuan nodded: "Yes, when the time comes, I will lead the army to pursue the victory, and then we will join together to kill the enemy without leaving any trace behind!"
Vice General Zhang immediately said: "General Lin has thought carefully, so we don't have to worry about whether there is an ambush there!"
Tang Jin felt that it was unnecessary. The people he sent out told him that they didn't see any ambush there!
Let yourself take such a long detour and delay things!
But he didn't say anything anymore. When the fight started, everyone would know.
After Lin Tingxuan repeatedly warned several lieutenants about their tasks and precautions, he asked them to lead the troops and set off immediately.
Lin Tingxuan called two more soldiers and asked them to secretly go to the enemy's rear area to deprive those two places of food and grass!
After arranging these things, it was already dawn, and there were faint sounds of horns and drums. The enemy's provocation was coming!
Lin Tingxuan put on the heavy armor, picked up the spear, and walked out of the tent.
Soon the loud beating of drums and the sounds of fighting began.

Xiao Hei returned to Duke Anguo's Mansion on the morning of the third day.
Nuan Nuan is planting medicinal herbs in the backyard medicine field, which are healing herbs.
This medicine field is her private medicine field and no one can come in.
She now uses purple gas every day to promote the growth of herbs.
Seeing Xiao Hei coming back, Nuan Nuan immediately washed his hands, took the letter under Xiao Hei's wings, and touched his head: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Hei, go to the kitchen to find food by yourself!"
Xiao Hei flapped his wings and flew away. He was so hungry!
After Nuan Nuan read the letter, she immediately called Zi Wan and asked her to deliver the letter to Wen Nuan at the General's Mansion. Then she took the other two letters and climbed over the wall to Prince Jin's Mansion to find Nalan Jinnian.
It was only when Wen Nuan jumped off the wall that he remembered that Nalan Jinnian left the capital and went to a neighboring county to investigate the whereabouts of the former treasury.
She could only climb back over the wall, put on palace clothes, and entered the palace to see the emperor.
Although this is not considered urgent military information, as long as it is military information, it must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible.
After all, this military intelligence was originally intended for the emperor.
The emperor also knew that Nalan Jinnian raised a condor.
The emperor was in the imperial study room, reviewing the memorials sent by the local officials, while waiting for the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to arrive.
This summer is here, and there is a flood season everywhere in the south. Typhoons occur every three days in coastal areas. In the plains, dikes are pierced here today, and fertile fields are flooded and houses are destroyed the day after tomorrow.
They all asked the court to distribute money for disaster relief!
The imperial court has distributed hundreds of thousands of taels of money for disaster relief and a lot of food has been sent out, but it is not enough.
Besides, this time is the summer harvest time in some places in the south. At this time, fertile fields are flooded, and food production is bound to be reduced.
If this continues, no matter how much silver or grain the country has in stock, they will all be emptied out!
There's still a war going on!
The emperor has a big head!
This year has been really eventful.
If he had known it earlier, he would not have built the outer city. Then the emperor thought that it seemed that the treasury did not provide much money for the construction of the outer city.
But if he didn't build the outer city, he could borrow some money from the Seventeenth Emperor's brother.
The Seventeenth Emperor's brother probably doesn't have much money now, right
Annoying!
I hope Beiming, Dongling, and Xihua will behave well.
I also hope that this summer will pass quickly. Autumn is coming soon, and new crops have begun to be harvested in many places.
The emperor couldn't help complaining to Eunuch Lin: "I don't understand why this money is never enough!"
When Eunuch Lin saw the emperor's big head, he felt very sympathetic.
He also knew that the emperor was just complaining and there was no need for him to reply.
I just hope that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance will come soon and share the worries with the emperor!
Recently, due to the war between Nanjiang Kingdom and Nalan Kingdom, merchants from Nanjiang Kingdom no longer sell medicinal materials to Nalan Kingdom, and the imperial court has to purchase wound medicine from the other three countries at high prices. The medicine merchants of these other three countries have not taken the opportunity to make money. This wound The price of the medicine has increased several times! Ridiculously expensive!
Moreover, the current wound medicine is simply priced at one price per day!
The emperor is extremely worried!
At this time, a young eunuch came in. Eunuch Lin immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Is Master Fang here?"
