Chapter 427: White Toss

"The villain Zhang Liu and Li Shicai, the personal soldiers of the tent of King Li, were ordered by King Li to pay homage to Duke Wei and Duke Dongjun. There are some secret matters to report to the two dukes."

"Duke Wei, Duke Dongjun, we, King Li, were deceived by Chen Gouguan. At that time, when King Li saw Chen Gouguan so kind to King Hao, when the official army entered our camp, King Li was confused for a moment and took us to surrender to the official army. But then he thought that the Lord Chen Gouguan was the master who beat the cook after dinner. After cheating King Li, he would not give us the official position. He kept asking us how much gold, silver and treasures he had accumulated over the years. He wanted to bribe him in his words. The dog officers and soldiers were either fighting or scolding us, and they didn't treat us as human beings at all. The brothers were so angry, and we, King Li, were so angry, so we, wanted to bring us back again."

"Duke Wei, Duke Dongjun, don't worry, we, King Li, really want to come back this time, because we are afraid that you will blame him for surrendering to Officer Chen Gou, so we did not dare to come back immediately. As long as Duke Wei of Dongjun, you promise to forgive us King Li, we, King Li, will immediately bring our brothers back. If you are willing, King Li can take your brothers to the camp as an insider when you advance, and help you take down the official army camp, and we, King Li, swear to the sky, and this time we have no other intentions."

Listening to the narration of the messenger Li Shicai, Li Mi remained silent. Zhai Rang, Pei Renji, Xu Shiyi and others next to him also kept silent. Until the messenger finished speaking, Li Mi asked, "Where will you be stationed after you surrender? How many people are there in his hands? If he wants to come back, how many people will follow him?"

The messenger answered truthfully, saying that after Li Shicai surrendered, he was stationed in the southern camp of the Sui Army. There were 1,3400 people who surrendered with Li Shicai. If he really wanted to start a rebellion, at least half would follow Li Shicai. In addition, the messenger also took the initiative to tell Li Mi that Li Shicai's garrison was very close to the Sui Army prisoner-of-war camp. If he really wanted to start a move, Li Shicai could also smash the prisoner-of-war camp and let the thief army prisoners come out to raise the trouble.

Standing up, with a calm face, and walking around the hall with his hands behind his back, Li Mi suddenly stood behind the messenger Zhang Liu and said, "Of course I am very happy that King Li is willing to return to the rebel army. I also believe in your sincerity, but Chen Yingliang and Chen Dog Official are too treacherous, so I cannot be careful. Now I have a few words to ask you. If you answer truthfully, I believe in your sincerity. If you have half a lie, immediately lead the beheading outside the door."

"Mr. Wei, please ask, the villain must answer truthfully." Zhang Liu answered carefully.

"What are you planning to build a pier on the south bank of Luoshui, ten miles upstream of Gong County?" Li Mi asked straight to the point.

"The villain doesn't know." Zhang Liu shook his head and replied: "When building the dock, although the villain also participated and helped transport wood to repair the dock, he didn't know why the dog official Chen had to repair the dock there. After asking the above, he didn't ask much."

"How many piers have you built there?" Li Mi asked, "Also, what else have you seen there?"

"The Chen Gouguan built two piers there." The number of Zhang Liu's answer was consistent with the detection of the scouts of the Wagang Army. Then Zhang Liu said: "The villain saw that many people and men used straw bags to fill soil on the shore of Luoshui, loaded a lot of soil, and dug a small mountain of soil on the shore. But the villain still didn't know what Chen Gouguan planned to do."

After saying that, Zhang Liu thought about it and said hurriedly: "By the way, the villain also knows something that might be related to this. Official Chen Gou looked for boatmen who could drive boats everywhere, and asked King Li's team, picked out a few brothers who had worked as boatmen from King Li's team and stayed at the new dock to listen to it."

"I put in a good bait. If a soldier is left behind, I will have the opportunity to find out the news. I have good intentions."

Li Mi snorted coldly in her heart, thinking about walking back to Zhang Liu's front, Li Mi suddenly said: "You don't know, I know, I received the inside news from the official army. Chen Yingliang's dog official decided to send a batch of grain to Wang Shichong through the Yellow River waterway. He was afraid that we would intercept it on the Yellow River water surface, so he planned to use two grain fleets of real grain ships to confuse us. The real grain ship loads grain, and the fake grain ship loads the soil on the dock, making it impossible for us to distinguish the real and fake. Then he tried to use the fake grain ship to lure us to take action, cover the real grain ship to break through our block and send it to the lower reaches of the Yellow River."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Liu's face changed, as if he really didn't know Chen Sangliang's arrangement.

"I am definitely reliable in the inside line of the official army, and the news cannot be fake." Li Mi sneered confidently and said, "This is also your opportunity. Go back and tell Li Shicai about this matter, and then tell him that at all costs, I will find out that the fleet is a real grain ship and that fleet is a fake grain ship. Then someone comes to tell me that as long as the news provided by you King Li is true, I believe that he sincerely repents. Not only will he accept him again, but he will also give him a reward, and you soldiers."

While Zhang Liu hurriedly agreed, Li Mi suddenly raised his voice and said viciously: "Tell Li Shicai again and told him to remember that even without him, I could know that the fleet was a real grain ship, and that fleet was a fake grain ship. I asked him to investigate, but to give him a chance to prove his sincerity of repentance. If he dares to play any tricks, he will bear the consequences at his own risk."

Zhang Liu quickly knelt down and repeatedly agreed. Li Mi waved his hand again and said with a smile: "Reward him a piece of silver and send him out of seclusion."

Li Mi's guard agreed and immediately led Zhang Liu, who was grateful to him, out of the door. As soon as Zhang Liu left, Zhai Rang immediately asked like Li Mi: "Duke Wei, how about it? Is it true? Or fake surrender?"

"Does this still need to be asked?" Li Mi smiled and replied: "Chen Yingliang's traitor confuses us with two fleets of true and false. He must be afraid that we will be lucky and bet right. He stopped his real fleet and did not send some fake news to deceive us. How dare he let his grain transport fleet pass the Hulao Pass with confidence?"

"Wei Gong is smart, no wonder you want Li Shicai to explore the enemy situation for you." Pei Renji and Xu Shiyu suddenly realized it and said happily: "We pretend to be trapped and believe that Li Shicai has truly surrendered. When Li Shicai sends fake news, we will do the opposite and intercept the fake grain ship that Li Shicai said with all our might, and we can stop the real grain ship that the official army said."

Zhai Rang laughed out loudly, and even said that Wei Gong was brilliant. This is the reason. Li Mi also smiled, laughing very happily, and then ordered: "Continue to explore the movements of the officers' and military ration ships. As soon as there is news, report it to me immediately. Chen Yingliang's traitors are addicted to conspiracy and tricks. This time I want to give him a heavy lesson to let him know that the strength of the army is the most important on this battlefield."

Zhai Rang and everyone in Wagang applauded, and they all said that they must teach Chen Sangliang a lesson this time | One sentence must be mentioned here. Unfortunately, Mulan happened to be not present at the scene and did not know Li Mi's arrangement, so naturally she could not inform Chen Sangliang...

At the same time, the Sui army significantly increased its efforts in scout warfare. Not only did it send a large number of cavalry to sweep the roads of the north and south sides of the Luoshui River, it also found some ships and arranged some Sui soldiers who were also proficient in water war to block the Luoshui channel. When Chen Sangliang first started his career in Qiao County, he collected quite a few water bandits and thieves who also relied on Tongji Canal to make a living. Many people in the Qi County army were once the Yellow River boatmen, so it was not difficult to find such a person.

As a result, the difficulty of the Zhai Li coalition forces was naturally increased a lot. Fortunately, no matter how tight the official army blocked it, there were fish that missed the net. After paying a considerable price, the Wagang Army scout who disguised himself as the common people finally found out that there were indeed two fleets sailing downstream from the Luoshui River. One fleet was carrying a red flag, with a steady hull and a deep draft. It was confirmed that it was full of cargo. One fleet was wearing a blue flag, with a frivolous hull and a shallow draft, which was obviously an empty ship. Hearing this news, Li Mi sneered repeatedly, Zhai Rang, Pei Renji and others were puzzled, and they all said: "What the hell is Chen Yingliang doing? Why did the fleet take the red flag and a blue flag respectively? Isn't this convenient for us to distinguish?"

"It is convenient for us to distinguish, but this is also the treacherous thing about Chen Yingliang's traitors." Li Mi sneered: "I deliberately divide the fleet into two teams with flags. Once we fall into the trap, we will only intercept the fake grain ships, so that all his real grain ships can escape. If necessary, he can also exchange flags between the two fleets, making it more difficult for us to distinguish."

Zhai Rang, Pei Renji and others woke up again, and they also scolded Chen Sangliang for being treacherous, vicious, cunning, despicable, but Li Mi remained silent and ordered: "Continue to explore and find the time for the official fleet to arrive at the new dock at all costs. Also, be prepared to welcome the messenger of Li Shicai, and you should be coming soon."

The next afternoon, and on the afternoon of June 13, 13th, the 13th day of Daye, about the hour of You, the official army fleets with different colors of flags arrived at the dock and moored on the shore of Luoshui. At the same time, the Sui army in the Eastern Capital also dispatched a large number of troops to clean up the scene and drove away all the people within a radius of ten miles, even the north bank of Luoshui was no exception. Fortunately, the scouts of the Wagang Army who disguised themselves as the people found out the situation in time and sent the news back to Hulao Guanzhong before it was dark. Li Mi was overjoyed when he heard the news and immediately sent people to visit the high grounds on the north and south sides of the Luoshui River, and patiently waited for the Li Shicai messenger who would definitely arrive.

After only half a quarter of an hour, after it was dark, Li Shicai's messenger Zhang Liu came back to Hulao Guanzhong to pay homage to Li Mi and Zhai Rang. While explaining that the government army came to blockade and seized the path, so it was too late. While presenting Li Shicai's letter to Li Mi. Li Mi was overjoyed. When he took the letter, he saw that the handwriting was fair and powerful. He said in Li Shicai's tone:

"The crime general Li Shicai has been worshipped by a hundred times. The letter was given to Duke Wei: The crime will be given great kindness to Duke Wei, and there is no way to repay it. The day before yesterday, he was accidentally tricked by Chen Yingliang and was trapped on the cliff. Missing his old master, when he would forget it? The sentence was discovered by Duke Wei, and the traitor of Chen Yingliang divided the fleet into two. The red flag carried grain and the blue flag was empty. After arriving at the Gongxian wharf, the empty ship was loaded with soil, pretended to be a grain ship, and then exchanged flags with each other, and turned into a blue flag fleet carrying grain. The red flag fleet carried soil to confuse Duke Wei. He hoped that Duke Wei would be cautious. The general did not dare to make meritorious rewards, but actually wanted to redeem his previous crime. The letter did not say enough. If Duke Wei had any questions, please ask the messenger."

"Okay" Li Mi slapped the table heavily, and while handing the letter to Zhai Rang, Pei Renji and others, she couldn't wait to ask Zhang Liu: "Zhang Liu, how did you find such a confidential news?"

"We King Li pretended to please Liu Changgong, the general of the Huben Lang of the official army, invited him to drink last night, and after getting him drunk, it was taken out of his mouth." Zhang Liu answered truthfully.

If another opponent was replaced, Li Mi might have been fooled. Everyone knows what General Liu is doing. In his heart, Li Mi's face was even more happy and slapped and said, "I know that Liu Changgong is a good man. I don't keep the door when I get drunk. Your King Li is trying to cliché him, so he is looking for the right person. Tell me quickly, what did Liu Changgong say to you King Li?"

"Mr. Wei is amazing. Liu Changgong, the dog official, dared to say anything when he was drunk, and he also said a lot to us, King Li." Zhang Liu nodded quickly and said, "Liu Changgong also said that Chen Gaoguan spent a lot of effort to pretend to be a grain ship this time, and let Yuan Tiangang, a strange scholar in the world calculate the weight of the grain, grass, pigs and sheep, and then calculated how many grass bags of soil are needed. So after the soil is loaded on the ship, you, Duke Dongjun, even if you eat a hundred years of meal on the water, you can't tell from the appearance whether it is a real grain ship or a fake grain ship."

"Also, Liu Changgong said." Zhang Liu said again: "Tonight, Chen Yingliang's Dog Official will let all the sailors and ship guards get off the boat and go to the distance to rest overnight. Change the soldiers under Chen Gou Official's command to load the boat. After loading the soil on the boat, Chen Gou Official will also seal all the cabins and not allow anyone to open them. In this way, even the sailors and official soldiers on the boat do not know whether they are loaded with food or soil on the boat, so as not to know the truth and then encounter the Dongjun Duke intercepting them, and they are afraid of being exposed in death."

"Dog official, it's really treacherous." Li Mi sneered, and then said, "Go back and tell Li Shicai that this time I can believe that he really repent. I also sent news from the inside line of the official army. Chen Yingliang's dog official really planned to use blue flag ships to load grain and red flag ships to fill soil, so that he could rest assured to wait for my good news. When I stopped the official army's grain ships, I would immediately take the troops to attack the official army camp. At that time, you will act at the official army camp when you see the opportunity and accept us into the official army camp. After the matter is completed, I will calculate the two achievements and give him a heavy reward."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Duke Wei." Zhang Liu thanked repeatedly and said carefully: "Duke Wei, the government and army are in strict investigation, and the villain is ordered to go out to the camp and provocate. If you go back late, I'm afraid..."

"You go." Li Mi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hurry, send Brother Zhang Liu out of seclusion and reward him with another big pearl."

When Zhang Liuda heard this, he was overjoyed and said with great gratitude. After Zhang Liu was sent away, Zhai Rang, Pei Renji and others burst into laughter. Then Xu Shiyu couldn't wait to say: "Duke Wei, Duke Dongjun, we should let our sailors and sailors take the time to rest, get up and board the ship at the fifth hour, and then be ready to intercept the official and military ration team at any time."

"Why do you have to get up and board the boat at the fifth hour?" Pei In-ki, who didn't understand the water battle, asked in confusion.

"The government army has to take time to load the soil on the ship." Xu Shiyi smiled and said, "The government army has only built two piers, and can only load the soil for four boats at the same time at a time. During this period, it has to be rotated. If we want to load all the soil of more than 50,000 stones of grain, it has to spend most of the night. In addition, we clean up the scene, rotate sailors and prepare for sailing. The Dongdu fleet arrived at the new pier around the hour of the first hour. Even if the government army immediately started loading the ship, it would have to be busy until around the morning of tomorrow to complete these things. From that position to Hulao Pass, it would take more than an hour at the earliest. We got up to prepare for the battle at the fifth hour, and we had time to do it no matter what."

Pei Renji then understood the reason and hurriedly held his fists to show his teaching. Li Mi also smiled and said, "Brother Xu is indeed proficient in water warfare. It's good that the navy should rest immediately and maintain enough energy to fight tomorrow morning. Brother Xu, you are an expert in water warfare, it will be up to you tomorrow morning."

Xu Shiyu agreed immediately, patted his chest and promised to stop all the official army's ration ships. Zhai Rang couldn't wait to say, "I will get on the boat tomorrow and command the interception myself. None of the official army's ration ships holding the red flag will run away."

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha" Li Mi suddenly burst out laughing wildly and said, "Dongjun Duke, you are really a honest person. What is the purpose of intercepting the red flag grain ships of the government army? They are also piles of straw bags filled with soil. What's the use of not being able to eat or wear? If you want to intercept the grain ships of the blue flag, those real government grain ships of the government army."

"Intercept the blue flag grain ship?" Zhai Rang, Xu Shiyu, Pei Renji and others were all stunned and shouted: "Duke Wei, didn't you say that Li Shicai's send must be fake news, we must do the opposite?"

"Duke Dongjun, this is Chen Yingliang's traitor's plan to make plans again." Li Mi laughed and said, "Chen Yingliang's traitor sent Li Shicai to use the plan to surrender. He knew that Li Shicai's fraudulent surrender would definitely be seen through, and he also knew that I would definitely use the plan to use Li Shicai to spy on the authenticity of the grain ship. Then he used a plan to make plans again and deliberately asked Li Shicai to send real news, let us do the opposite and intercept his fake grain ship. Therefore, tomorrow's official army grain ship, the one holding the blue flag, the one holding the red flag is the fake grain ship."

Zhai Rang, Pei Renji and others were all speechless, and Xu Shiyu quickly pinched his fingers to calculate the logic. Li Mi picked up the letter that Zhang Liu had just sent, pointed to the words on the letter and smiled: "See, Chen Yingliang's traitor was afraid that I would not fall into the trap, so he deliberately revealed a flaw. How much ink can Li Shicai have in his belly? How could he write neat handwriting? How could he write such a literary sentence? So when I saw this letter just now, I immediately concluded that Chen Yingliang's traitor deliberately let me see through his plan of surrender, let me do the opposite and rob his red flag fake grain ship."

After being dumbfounded for a long time, Xu Shiyi finally came to his senses and cursed: "What a traitor, it's really treacherous. If it weren't for Wei Gong's brilliant, we would have to be fooled this time."

Zhai Rang, who also came to his senses, also cursed, and Pei Renji shook his head and sighed. Finally, he understood why he could not compete with Chen Sangliang in the officialdom. Pei Renji said viciously: "Chen Yingliang's little thief is planning to make plans and plans again. Let's use a plan to make plans and plans again. Tomorrow, we will do our best to intercept the official army's blue flag grain ship and starve him to death. Wang Shichong Hu Gou"

Li Mi smiled and nodded, then said, "You guys, it's getting late, let's take a break soon. We will get up at the fifth day of tomorrow morning, climb to the high ground east of Hulao Guan together, and sit and watch Chen Yingliang's traitor's grain transport fleet fall into the trap."

Everyone agreed and went to rest on their own. At the same time, they ordered the navy soldiers stationed at the pier outside the East Gate to hurry up and rest and maintain their strength. Li Mi also sneered and rode his horse back to his camp outside the east gate of Hulao Guan to rest. It was the night moon and the stars were sparse, and the moonlight was bright. Under the bright moon, Li Mi couldn't help but recite a poem, "Let you be treacherous and cunning, and you will finally get a bamboo basket to fetch water. This time, I can finally breathe a sigh of anger."

"I can finally breathe anger." With this relieved thought, Li Mi was in a relaxed mood and quickly slept in her tent. However, she didn't know how long she had slept. Li Mi was suddenly awakened by the sudden sound of gongs, drums and horns. When she sat up quickly, Li Mi blurted out: "What happened? Could it be that the traitor of Chen Yingliang came to rob the camp?"

Soon he found that Chen Sangliang would never fly to the east of Hulao Guan to attack his camp. Li Mi first shook his head and cursed that he was still afraid of Chen Sangliang, and then shouted loudly: "What happened? The noise from there?"

The captain of the personal soldiers, Cai Jiande, put his clothes on his clothes and entered the tent, and reported: "Duke Wei, it's not that something happened in our camp. Judging from the direction of the sound, it seems to be the other side of the Wagang Army Wharf.

"There is the Wagang Army Wharf? It is also east of Hulaoguan. How could it be attacked?"

Li Mi was stunned at first, and then Li Mi suddenly thought of a possibility. Her black face turned pale and rushed out of the tent before she could dress. She snatched the war horses handed by her personal soldiers and rushed straight to the Wagang Army Wharf. She kept praying in her heart, "It must be another accident. Chen Yingliang's traitor is not that treacherous, and it is impossible for her to be so treacherous.

The nightmare came true. When Li Mi rushed to the wharf where the Wagang army sailors were stationed, in addition to seeing the Wagang army soldiers who were rushing to board the ship with torches, they were immediately stopped by Zhai Rang, Xu Shiyi and others. Then Xu Shiyi shouted in a crying voice: "Duke Wei, we have been trapped by Chen Yingliang's traitor's grain transport fleet. Taking advantage of our sleeping opportunity, we have already rushed through Hulao Pass and headed to the lower reaches of the Yellow River."

With a bang, Li Mi, who was wearing only underwear, fell off the horse and crawled on the ground without moving. Her mind was blank. Zhai Rang, who also had no time to wear armor, stomped his feet and shouted, "What's going on? What's going on? Shouldn't Chen Yingliang's dog official's grain transport ship be still pretending to be fake grain in Gong County? Why has the clapper in the third update just rang and his grain transport ship had already rushed through Hulao Pass?"

No one can answer Zhai Rang's question. After a long time, Li Mi turned over and looked at the bright moon in the sky with her limbs wide open, and howled hysterically, "Chen Yingliang, you are indeed better than me, you are a traitor. What real fleets and fake fleets are all your tricks. I just want to pay attention to identifying your real and fake fleets, and then miscalculate your grain fleet's departure time, and then your real grain ship rushed through Hulao Pass."

"Chen Yingliang, you are cruel enough. My plan is ruthless. I'm already considered ruthless enough. I didn't expect that after you make plans, you're still a hundred times more ruthless than me."

While Li Mi was crying in despair, the Wagang Army's water warriors, who refused to give up, hurriedly boarded the grouped fleet. Under the leadership of Xu Shiyi, who was furious, sailed downstream and chased the Sui army's ration ship with great momentum. However, they were slower and slower. When Xu Shiyi finally saw the Sui army's grain transport fleet, it was already dark, and the Sui army's grain ship had already turned into Tongji Canal. When Xu Shiyi's army shook their oars and barely caught up with the Sui army's grain transport fleet, the Sui army's grain transport fleet had approached Wang Shichong's camp. On the shore of Tongji Canal, a large number of Sui soldiers in Pengcheng who were waiting for it had appeared.

"The Wagang thief raised by a bitch, dare to steal my food rations and come ashore. I fight with you. Come up, I fight with you for three hundred rounds." The soldiers of the Sui army in Pengcheng, who suffered from food shortage, roared one after another. The green light shone even brighter than the hungry wolf in their eyes. The Sui generals Fei Qingnu and Wang Renze, who led the team, roared even more.

Seeing the green light as dense as stars and seeing the swords and guns that were shiny in the hands of the Sui army soldiers, and feeling the murderous aura of the Pengcheng soldiers soaring into the sky, Xu Shiyu swallowed timidly and ordered: "All of them turned around and returned."

"Li Mi's clever plan to help the world, and the little thief in Wagang is turbulent." At the same time, a neat cheering slogan suddenly sounded on the deck of the Sui army's grain transport fleet, "Li Mi's clever plan to help the world, and the little thief in Wagang is turbulent on Wagang is turbulent on Li Mi's clever plan to help the world, and the little thief in Wagang is turbulent on Wagang is turbulent on Wagang is turbulent on"
