Wang Feng rode his horse and jumped up a high slope, pointed ahead and said: "Your Majesty! Over there is Cantong Town, and beyond Cantong Town is Mo Town."

Mo Town is one of the four towns occupied by Beiling. It is the most strategically important town. As long as Mo Town is recaptured, the communication between the other three towns can be cut off, and the material assistance and military strength between them can be cut off.

Support is helpful for defeating each one.

Dongming Ziyu decided not to submit his credentials directly to Beiling, but to grab Mozhen back first, and then count as many seats as he could grab.

Without Su Yan'er as a spy, it would be difficult to take Beiling back.

If you have the initiative in your own hands, you will have more confidence when negotiating.

The combat plan has been studied long ago, but it is necessary to check the terrain, the deployment of troops in the city, and the situation of the people on the spot.

Mo Wen tightened his cloak and said, "If it doesn't snow again today, we can reach Cangtong Town in the evening."

Dongming Ziyu took out a wine bottle and took a sip, then handed it to Shangguan Ruoli, "You also take a small sip to ward off the cold."

Shangguan Ruoli took the wine bottle and took a sip. He immediately felt a spicy feeling going straight to his stomach. He choked and coughed twice, "This wine is very strong."

Mo asked: "Your Majesty, judging from the signs along the way, our things should be hidden in the wind-sheltered and hidden valley ahead."

The mission to Beiling must be settled, because Prime Minister Xu and others are accompanying him, and Dongming Ziyu has sent a vanguard to disguise himself as a caravan and bring a large number of naphtha and bombs.

While patting Shangguan Ruoli on the back, Dongming Ziyu said to Wang Feng: "Then go to the valley in front to repair it, send people to investigate the situation in Mo Town, and then perfect the plan to directly cross Cangtong Town and attack Mo Town.

"

Although Cangtong Town is a town in Dongming, it is inevitable that spies from Beiling will be active, so just in case, they have to bypass Cangtong Town, go straight to Mo Town, and then defeat the other three towns one by one.

After receiving the order, everyone shouted and jumped down the snowy slope.

The horse's hooves stepped on the flying snow flakes, which splashed on the face, causing pain and coldness.

Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli sat on the sledge, hugging her to their chests and pulling up the cloak to cover her head.

The scene of a group of white figures walking through the forest and snowy fields is really shocking.

Soon we arrived at a valley sheltered from the wind, and heard a burst of chirping of unknown birds.

Soon there was a bird call in response, and An Yi gave another signal.

Soon someone emerged from a snowdrift and saw Dongming Ziyu and others, with a look of joy on their face.

Because someone was familiar with the terrain here beforehand, they quickly found a cave to stay.

Those who cannot live in caves set up tents and cover them with snow. Some even dig holes directly in the snow to rest.

You can't use a fire in the wild to avoid attracting attention, so just light a fire in a cave to cook.

Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli were arranged to live in a relatively private place. The cave was dry and flat.

After drinking some hot water and taking a rest, Dongming Ziyu called Wang Feng, his staff and the vanguard for a meeting.

Because Shangguan Ruoli often studied the art of war with them, Shangguan Ruoli, as a woman, also participated in the discussion.

Dongming Ziyu looked at the leader of the vanguard and said, "Bi Yuntao, please tell me about the situation in Mozhen and other four towns."

Bi Yuntao? Bi Yuntao? The name is quite similar to something.

"Pfft!" Shangguan Ruoli spurted out a mouthful of water.

This name came to be...what a coincidence.

Dongming Ziyu said in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Everyone was also confused, wondering what kind of mood Shangguan Ruoli was suddenly having.

"Ahem! I'm sorry." Shangguan Ruoli couldn't hold back his laughter, "I drank too fast and choked."

This... no one believes it.

Bi Yuntao was a baby-faced young man in his early twenties. It was his first time to discuss matters with Shangguan Ruoli, so he was already a little nervous. He was even more embarrassed when she smiled like this inexplicably.

He blushed and stammered: "Um, well, there are five thousand Beiling soldiers stationed in Mo Town, and there are two thousand soldiers stationed in Qingcheng, Lingcheng, and Han Town respectively. They have been very short of food recently, and the people in the city have been robbed.

The people were in dire straits, starved to death, and froze to death. Countless Beiling soldiers patrolled the towers and looked menacing and mighty. In fact, the ordinary soldiers were so hungry that their faces were sallow and their muscles were thin, and they walked unsteadily."

Beiling is already short of food in the winter. Because the treaty with Dongming was broken, we did not receive the food provided by Dongming this year. The Su family's caravans were frequently robbed, so it is normal for the food supply to be insufficient.

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes flashed and he said: "So the morale of the military in the city is unstable and the morale of the people is in turmoil?"

Seeing the excitement on his little princess's face, Dongming Ziyu raised his lips and asked, "Does Li'er have a good plan? Or has he guessed our original plan?"

Shangguan Ruoli sat next to Dongming Ziyu very lovingly, looking at him with bright eyes, "I guess you want to rob their food, or simply burn their food, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack."

Dongming Ziyu raised his eyebrows, and she guessed his plan right away.

"Your plan is very good!" Shangguan Ruoli confirmed it first and said, "But I have a way to drive the Beiling soldiers out of Mo Town with less effort."

When Wang Feng heard this, he became energetic and said, "Princess, please speak."

Shangguan Ruoli reminded: "Do you still remember the story of being besieged on all sides?"

Mo asked: "Sing Beiling's hometown tunes to disrupt their military morale!"

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "This is just cooperation. We sent secret guards into the city to spread rumors that Beiling soldiers will be punished by God for committing too many crimes and that the innocent souls of the people will seek their lives. Then, at night, we will burn naphtha around their camp.

Last time, naphtha can burn even on snow. Make sure they don’t burn to death or be frightened and run back to their hometowns. Our soldiers can just pick up the slack and hit them with wounds.”

Shangguan Ruoli narrowed his eyes, looking like he was about to go to heaven.

People in this era are most superstitious, and this is a weakness that can be easily exploited.

Dongming Ziyu looked at her with fiery eyes, "Li'er is indeed a good strategist."

"Oh! How wonderful! Although we are familiar with those military strategies, we still can't draw inferences from one instance and apply them flexibly." Wang Feng excitedly slapped his thigh.

Dongming Ziyu immediately ordered: "An Er, you take people to do it! These rumors have been spread in the four towns. In addition, you should not come back yet. Together with the hidden stakes lurking in the city, cooperate with Mozhen's actions and burn them.

The granary, if you see any fire in Mozhen tomorrow night, light it."

Their combined number was only 1,000, so it was very difficult to deal with the 5,000 people in Mozhen. They could not attack four towns at the same time, and could only try to prevent Beiling soldiers from delaying other towns to support Mozhen.

"Yes!" An Er took the order and took ten secret guards to do it.

Dongming Ziyu said to Mo Xiang again: "Go and ask the soldiers if there is anyone who knows Beiling hometown tunes. If not, try to find two in Cangtong Town."

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "I have to make two iron loudspeakers."
