"Prajna, tell me your idea in detail!" Liu Rui smiled.”
" My lord, can you send a messenger with a letter to tell Xu Rong that the lord has captured Xiahou Jie's daughter, Xiahou Qingyi, and is now afraid that Xiahou Jie will send troops to encircle and annihilate them, so he has joined Gao Ze. The reason why the troops of Tiger Tooth Mountain are feigning an attack on Zhending County is to lure Xiahou Jie here. At the same time, have Xu Rong station his troops at the Roasted Beard Mountain 30 miles away from the city. When Xiahou Jie arrives, he will lead his troops down the mountain and work with the troops of Tiger Tooth Mountain to eliminate Xiahou Jie!”Qin Prajna said with a smile.
"But Military Advisor, I'm afraid it's difficult to win Xu Rong's trust with a letter, right?”Chong Lin asked in confusion.
" If it's Gao Ze's letter," Qin Prajna said," it's indeed difficult to win Xu Rong's trust, and he can't mobilize Xu Rong. But what if this letter is from Dong Zhuo?"”
"Dong Zhuo's letter?" The generals looked at Qin Prajna in confusion.
"If it was Dong Zhuo's letter, Xu Rong wouldn't dare to disobey!”Hua Rong said.
" Although Xu Rong is the general of Tiger Cage Pass, he's not from Western Liang," Qin Prajna said with a smile." He's not one of the old generals who followed Dong Zhuo into the capital. So, Dong Zhuo's trust in him is limited!" However, Gao Ze was different. Gao Ze was born in an aristocratic family. His father was the former General of Chariots and Cavalry, Gao Xun. After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he had always wanted to win over the hearts of the people. However, few of the descendants of the aristocratic families had sided with Dong Zhuo. Therefore, people like Gao Ze and Cao Cao had been put in an important position by Dong Zhuo after they had sided with Dong Zhuo. When Gao Ze left the capital this time, Dong Zhuo had written a letter, saying that everything would be done according to Gao Ze's orders. With the existence of this letter, even if Xu Rong had any doubts, he would not dare to disobey Dong Zhuo's orders.”
"In this case, we can easily lure Xu Rong into the city and then get rid of him!”Zhao Zilong looked at Qin Prajna with admiration.
" Of the 6,000 troops Xu Rong brought, there are 2,000 cavalrymen," Qin Prajna said with a smile." Their warhorses are all the best in Western Liang." Our army is currently lacking in cavalry. If we can obtain these warhorses, our strength will definitely increase greatly.”
"Prajna, if I remember correctly, there's only one way to go up this mountain.”Liu Rui had already guessed Qin Prajna's plan.
Qin Prajna smiled and said," That's right. There is only one mountain road leading to the foot of Mount Luo Xu, and they have to go down the mountain to get water. We just need to cut off their way of getting water." In less than two days, there would be no water for the army to drink, and their hearts would be in chaos. When Xu Rong's head was revealed, the Western Liang army would definitely be defeated without fighting.”
"Advisor Jun, what a good plan!" Qiao Feng could not help but sigh.
"Tian Boguang, tomorrow you will deliver the letter to Xu Rong's army with a high status." Liu Rui smiled and said.”
"This subordinate will obey!" Tian Boguang replied.
Liu Rui looked around at the generals and said," Tomorrow, Zilong and Hua Rong will lead five thousand men and set up camp outside the city. Qiao Feng and Lin Chong will lead one thousand men and guard the city. We will wait for Xu Rong to come the day after tomorrow!"”
"This subordinate will obey!" The generals cupped their fists and replied in unison.
After everyone left, Liu Rui said to Qin Prajna,""Prajna, go and inform Zhui Ming to stop his training. Before Xu Rong's army arrives tomorrow, he will blend in and cooperate with us on Mount Luo Xu!”
"Don't worry, my lord. I've already made arrangements!”Qin Prajna said with a smile.
After Liu Rui summoned Zhui Ming, he asked Zhui Ming to form a training team of Shadow Assassins. Qin Prajna was in charge of all the intelligence and spies in the army, so Liu Rui handed Zhui Ming and his Shadow Assassins to Qin Prajna to manage.
Liu Rui nodded in satisfaction. Qin Prajna was a very qualified strategist, both in terms of intelligence gathering and tactical planning.
The next morning.
Tian Boguang brought four soldiers who had disguised themselves as officers and soldiers. They carried Dong Zhuo's letter and a letter written in Gao Ze's name as they headed to Xu Rong's army. At this time, Xu Rong had already led the army from Gaoyi County to Zhending County.
In the Chang Shan County Governor's Mansion.
"Reporting to my lord, six thousand troops of Xu Rong's troops have been discovered in Chang Shan. They arrived at Gaoyi County yesterday and will probably arrive at Zhen Ding County tomorrow.”A deputy general reported to Xia Houjie with a report from the front line.
"Dong Zhuo, you old bastard, you're really despicable!" Xia Houjie said with a dark face. He actually dared to attack me in public. Do you really think I'm afraid of him? Pass down my order and gather the soldiers to prepare to send troops to Zhen Ding at any time!”
"This subordinate will obey!" The deputy general left.
"Wait!"
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"Is there any news of Miss?"
"Not yet!"
"You may leave!"
……
On an official road 40 miles outside Gaoyi County, Xu Rong was leading his 6,000 soldiers and horses at high speed. Five soldiers were riding fast horses and galloping towards them.
"Are those the troops of General Xu under Grand Preceptor Dong's command?”These five soldiers were Tian Boguang and his group.
The outpost officer of Xu Rong's army replied,"Who are you?"
Tian Boguang and the other five reined in their horses, jumped off their horses, and went forward to report,""I am the subordinate of Lord Gao, the county magistrate of Zhending County. I am here on orders from Lord Gao to deliver a letter to General Xu's army!”
Xu Rong in the army heard the report from the outpost officer and rode to the front of the army to size up Tian Boguang and the others.
"You guys were sent by Gao Ze?”
"That's right!" Tian Boguang hurriedly replied.
A hint of impatience flashed across Xu Rong's face."Where's the letter?"
Tian Boguang hurriedly took out a letter from his pocket and stepped forward to pass it to Xu Rong. The first letter he handed to Xu Rong was written by Dong Zhuo, and the second letter was written by Qin Prajna in Gao Ze's name.
After reading the two letters, although Xu Rong was very unhappy, he did not dare to disobey Dong Zhuo's orders.
"Go back and tell your lord that I understand. Tomorrow, after I station my army on Mount Luo Xu, I will enter the city to meet your lord!”Xu Rong said unhappily.
Tian Boguang bowed and said,"I'll take my leave!"”
With that, Tian Boguang led the four soldiers back to Zhen Ding County.
"General, why are you so polite to Gao Ze? Logically speaking, this operation should be under your full command, right?”The deputy general beside Xu Rong said. Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720195:21PM
