Chapter 1121: Substituting One Thing for Another

"Father, when we visited Mr. Shuijing before, you asked him about the heroes of the world. He only evaluated the ministers of the court such as Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, Yuan Feng, and the younger generation such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, but did not evaluate the extraordinary people such as Lin Mu and Zhu Xuan. Is it because they are extraordinary people?" Da Qiao asked thoughtfully.

"Yes! And, father, why did you ask Mr. Shuijing about the stars? Does the word star have a special meaning?" Xiao Qiao also joined in the fun and asked.

"You two are just troublesome... Humph... I just asked those things casually." Qiao Xuan took out his father's shelf and glared at Xiao Qiao.

"There are so many heroes in the world, but they are just small heroes." Qiao Xuan sighed.

"At present, the greatest heroes are Emperor Han Liu Hong and Taiping Zhang Jiao..." Qiao Xuan pointedly said.

The two women heard the words and nodded in confusion.

Their father judged heroes by their current status!

"Father, what do you think of Zhu Xuan?" Da Qiao asked in a low voice.

"It must be Xiao Qiao who asked the servants to approach the strangers, so he collected those strange things!" Qiao Xuan heard this and stared at Xiao Qiao again.

Da Qiao is quiet, Xiao Qiao is active, and you don't need to guess to know that it is because of secretly finding out about strangers.

"No, I have nothing to do, so I just listened casually." Xiao Qiao smiled and said shyly.

"Also, that Zhu Xuan is not that good, I think the stranger Lin Mu is more powerful." Xiao Qiao expressed her thoughts innocently and romantically.

Da Qiao smiled slightly when she heard this. She didn't mention Lin Mu because the two of them had discussed Lin Mu's affairs many times in private, and she felt that there was no need to talk about it in front of her father.

"Yiren are blessed by nature, with the incomparable advantage of the favor of heaven, but they also have great flaws, and everything is difficult to conclude. Even Mr. Shuijing rarely talks about Yiren, because they are too variable and difficult to predict!" Qiao Xuan sighed again.

"Father, don't always look so worried..." Xiao Qiao saw Qiao Xuan sighing again, and immediately turned into a caring little cotton fairy to comfort him.

Qiao Xuan smiled and shook his head when he heard it.

Ever since he knew that his two daughters were special, he has been sighing. Because he was too concerned!

"Is it really like Mr. Shuijing suggested, let it go?!" Qiao Xuan sighed again in his heart.

"Alas... Since ancient times, beautiful women have been short-lived. I hope my two daughters can have a good home!" Qiao Xuan sighed in his heart.

Seeing the sad look on their father's face, Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao looked at each other helplessly.

After pondering for a while, Qiao Xuan suddenly stood up.

"You go back to your room to rest... I... go to see Elder Huang." Qiao Xuan whispered.

"Father, are you going to carry out that plan?" Da Qiao's beautiful eyes twisted and she asked solemnly.

Xiao Qiao didn't say anything, staring at Qiao Xuan.

"Well! After some contact, Elder Huang is still quite righteous. If we can convince him, the plan will succeed." Qiao Xuan nodded.

"Then... Father, be careful." Da Qiao nodded. She knew her father's temper. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change.

"I also hope that the officer and general who captured the southern wall is a good officer!" Qiao Xuan said, and turned away resolutely.

...

...

Lin Mu stood on the top of the wall, looking at the busy people, and smiled slightly.

Below, some soldiers of the Star Legion were busy changing into the equipment of the Yellow Turban Army.

No matter what the victory or defeat of Zhou Cang and Ding Feng was, Zhou Cang should return to the city. And at that time, it would be an opportunity!

"I hope that today's plan was not thought up by Zhou Cang himself!" Lin Mu raised his head and looked into the dark distance, thinking in his heart.

They had interrogated the Yellow Turban soldiers and found that there was no secret signal at the gate of the city. When Zhou Cang came back, as long as the gate was wide open, the hurried Zhou Cang should enter.

This move was the real way to catch a turtle in a jar!

"Report!" While Lin Mu was thinking, a shout rang out, followed by a burst of rapid horse hooves from the dark night.

The rangers who went to get information came back!

"My lord, Zhou Cang and Ding Feng fought fiercely for an hour and both were injured!"

"However, Ding Feng suffered heavy losses!"

"In the end, Ding Feng asked some soldiers to cover the rear, and he led the remnants into the forest that had not been burned out, and escaped Zhou Cang's encirclement!" The messenger roughly described the situation on the front line.

Without the details, Lin Mu had already deduced the situation of this battle in his mind. After all, this was one of the results he had guessed long ago.

"It's a pity that Wang Can is not a strategist, but a civil servant, otherwise Ding Feng wouldn't be so miserable!" Lin Mu murmured with an inexplicable smile on his lips.

He expected Ding Feng's disastrous defeat later.

His Star Legion was calculated by Zhou Cang and almost wiped out, not to mention Ding Feng who acted as bait!

Ding Feng is an excellent commander, but he is not a strategist who can predict the future. The plan of feigning defeat and ambush that he and Lin Mu discussed together is quite good, and the general Yellow Turban Army should be fooled. But Zhou Cang didn't know what happened and didn't fall for it.

Lin Mu was 80% confident that Zhou Cang had received guidance from an expert!

If Zhou Cang was really smart, he should have started to force the people to attack the county after entering Jiujiang County. But he didn't, he just summoned the Taiping Daoists.

Although coercing the people is a bad strategy, it is a very effective one. Zhou Cang did not do this because the counselor could not bear to see the people of Jiujiang County suffer, so he did not suggest Zhou Cang to execute it.

"If we can find this counselor, maybe there will be some great gains!" Lin Mu felt in his heart and had such an idea.

"Unfortunately, after interrogating those Yellow Turban surrendered soldiers, it seems that there is no special person in their camp. Could it be that Zhou Cang concealed it?!" Lin Mu said secretly.

After he dealt with the southern wall, he had asked a military lieutenant to be responsible for this matter, but unfortunately nothing was gained. After all, the captured Yellow Turban soldiers were all small soldiers, not even an elder, let alone a small leader.

"My lord, good news has been heard?!" While Lin Mu was thinking, Cui Wu's voice came. He ran up in a hurry.

"Is everything arranged?" Lin Mu looked at Cui Wu and said.

"Hehe, it's basically done! Those Yellow Turban surrendered soldiers didn't have a fierce battle with us, and their equipment and weapons are intact, so there should be no problem."

"That's good! Let them prepare. Zhou Cang should come back after cleaning the battlefield. They should be very tired after fighting for a day and a night, especially in the early morning. At that time, let the thinner Star soldiers dress up as farmers and place pots of hot porridge not far from the gate of the city. When they see the hot porridge and hot rice from a distance, I believe those Yellow Turban soldiers will run in regardless of everything!" Lin Mu said experiencedly.

"The lord's strategy of replacing the pillars with the beams is really powerful!" Cui Wu praised sincerely.

This strategy of replacing the pillars with the beams was discussed by Lin Mu and everyone at the meeting just now. Originally, Lin Mu was not going to use this trick. After all, Zhou Cang was able to break their plan, so he must be a smart man. When they return to the city, it should be easy to find the abnormality.

However, after some analysis, it feels that their plan was broken, and it should not be Zhou Cang's work, but someone else!

So I took the risk to take this strategy.

"Have the surrendered soldiers and supplies been settled?" Lin Mu asked again.

"All settled. They were supposed to be taken away tomorrow morning, but because of the temporary change of plan, they were all detained in the warehouse." Cui Wu nodded.

"Well... we will wait!" Lin Mu turned around and looked at the darkness in the distance, and said in a concentrated voice.

He really didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to capture Zhou Cang in Fuling City!

According to the original plan, it was to ambush Zhou Cang's troops, consume his troops to the greatest extent, and then launch an attack on the city.

Moreover, the Night Shadow Division in the city has not yet made any effort!

"Report!" At this time, another message came. However, it came from the city.

"Report to the lord, there is a yellow turban soldier coming from the north of the city! He said that he had something important to discuss with the general in charge of the army. The man said that it was about the yellow turban army in the north of the city." The messenger reported.

"General in charge of the army?" Lin Mu was quite confused when he heard this word.

The person who came should not be from the Great Wilderness Territory, not the Night Shadow Division, nor the undercover developed by Xi Zhicai. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said this word.

"Tell him to go find Huang Xu." Lin Mu waved his hand. A Yellow Turban soldier was nothing special. Huang Xu was fully qualified to receive him. Moreover, the general in charge of the army was Huang Xu.

However, Lin Mu didn't know that just by saying this casual word, he missed a mysterious opportunity.
