Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 415: Resourcefulness

 Baha was released by Li Ling and returned to the camp safely. The Xiongnu generals were overjoyed to see him.

Baha told everyone about the agreement with Li Ling, and said fiercely: "Tomorrow I will issue another battle letter. This time I will capture Li Ling alive in front of the battle in order to avenge today's hatred."

Yan Zhuo, a counselor under Baha's tent, offered advice: "Li Ling is the most capable person in Da Qi and is famous for being good at strategy. Why does the eldest prince need to confront him head-on? Why don't we also use tactics to deal with Li Ling."

After hearing what Yanzhuo said, Baha asked: "What do you have in mind?"

Yanzhuo replied: "Why don't we rob Li Ling's camp tonight? The eldest prince has just been released by him today. He will definitely not take precautions. We can simply catch him off guard and burn Li Ling's food and grass. In this way, Li Ling will Even if you are extremely capable, you will no longer have the power to compete with us."

After hearing Yanzhuo's plan, Baha put his hands on his hands and said, "Brother Yan really has a miraculous plan. The prince will follow your plan, so he will gather his troops and rob his grain camp tonight."

It happened that there were no stars or moon tonight. Baha was overjoyed and led thousands of elites around the path and headed straight for Li Ling's grain and grass camp.

When he was thirty miles away from the camp, Baha sent sentries to investigate. The sentries came back to report that the Li Ling Grain and Grass Camp was indeed loosely guarded. After hearing this, Baha laughed and said, "God helps me!"

Baha ordered the whole army to speed up, and a group of elite troops headed towards the Qi army's grain and grass camp at lightning speed. In the darkness, the endless grain warehouses were vaguely in front of them. Baha was overjoyed. Wind, he set up the rocket and was about to take the lead in shooting towards the granary. He heard a loud "bang", and Baha suddenly felt that the sky was falling and the earth was falling. When he reacted, the men, horses and most of his soldiers were already deep inside. Trapped in a deep ravine for dozens of battles.

Baha looked up in panic and saw that the top was densely packed with Daqi soldiers, each holding a torch, which made Baha's eyes sore and swollen.

 He has fallen into Li Ling's scheme again!

Looking at the soil in this deep ravine, it was still moist, which showed that it was just dug out. Baha couldn't figure out how Li Ling could have expected that he would come to burn his food and grass tonight.

 He used such clever tactics to trap him without spending a single soldier.

Baha, who had always been conceited, had never been so depressed in his life. He was convinced by Li Ling from the bottom of his heart.

Li Ling's deputy general Yang Guang stepped forward, smiled at Baha who was trapped in the ravine, and said: "The eldest prince was captured alive by Li Shuai yesterday. Our marshal Renyi will release the eldest prince alive. The eldest prince originally made an agreement with the marshal. I went to compete on the battlefield, but I never thought that the eldest prince would be so unfaithful and actually bring people to burn food and grass, haha, what the eldest prince did is really disgusting."

Baha blushed with embarrassment, waved the Langya iron rod in his hand and shouted at Yang Guang: "Good boy, you can stop being humiliated here. If you have the ability, why don't you let me out and let us have a real sword fight?" Discuss."

Yang Guang said with a smile: "The eldest prince is interested in sparring with the junior general, but the latter has no time. Let's go! The marshal is waiting for the eldest prince in the tent."

With that said, Yang Guang ordered people to pull Baha up with iron cables and tie him up with a large deposit to Li Ling's central army tent.

Li Ling was playing chess with Liang Jin leisurely in the tent. Liang Jin heard a loud noise from the north and said with a smile: "The marshal really has a clever plan. Those barbarians really came to steal food and grass."

Li Ling dropped the black piece in his hand onto the chessboard and replied calmly: "These guys are not brainless at all, but they can also use surprise tricks."

Liang Jin replied: "This little trick may be able to scare ordinary people, but it is nothing compared to the marshal." As the two men were talking, the soldiers outside the tent came in and replied: "Marshal, General Yang has caught him. Na Baha is being escorted outside the tent to ask for an audience."

Li Ling calmly dropped another son and replied: "Let General Yang let him go."

The soldiers took the order and left. Liang Jin glanced at the chessboard and frowned: "I lost again?" He looked at Li Ling unwillingly: "How about we win another game?"

Li Ling smiled faintly, stood up, clapped his hands and said, "It's getting late today, it's time to rest."

As he spoke, he said to Liang Jinming: "I expect these barbarians will be honest for a few days. You go to the camp to pick hundreds of soldiers with loud voices in the next few days, and then order the engineers to make some gongs and drums for later use." .”

Although Liang Jin has followed Li Ling for many years, Li Ling has always used his troops like a god. Even confidants like Liang Jin can't figure out Li Ling's treacherous thoughts most of the time and only act according to orders.

Li Ling returned to his sleeping tent, took off his outer cloak, and lay down on the couch.

As soon as he closed his eyes, his wife's voice and appearance appeared in his mind. Li Lingfu stood up again and lit the small lamp in front of the couch. He took out the letter home from his wife that he had just sent from his close-fitting coat, and read it over and over again. .

It is late autumn, and the northern frontier is especially cold. In such a dark night, the north wind outside the tent is blowing from the sky and the earth.

At such a lonely and cold midnight, his wife's affectionate letter home filled Li Ling's heart with warmth.

 War is **** and cruel, but after so many years of fighting abroad, whenever the war is not so tense, Li Ling will always deeply miss his good wife who is far away at home.

In the past few years, he had been fighting for years, and there were very few times when he could be by his wife's side. Li Ling suddenly felt guilty for his wife. He squinted and lay on the couch alone, thinking about what to do after returning home in triumph. Make it up to your wife.

He wanted to take his wife out of the hospital, and Jiangnan was a good place to go. This spring, when his father and mother returned from a trip to Jiangnan, they told everyone what they had seen on the way during the family dinner. Jingshu was filled with yearning after hearing this. He had promised to Jingshu I would take her on my next trip to Jiangnan when I had time, but because of my endless errands, I never fulfilled my promise.

 Li Ling decided that after returning this time, when the weather gets warmer in spring, he must take his wife to visit Jiangnan.

He wanted to go boating on the West Lake with her. He also wanted to catch a fish and cook it for his wife. He also planned to take her to visit the streets and alleys of Jiangnan and buy all the silk and satin jewelry she loved.

The more Li Ling thought about it, the more excited he became. He seemed to see his wife's happy face. Her smile was as bright as the spring sunshine, her smooth hair always exuded a refreshing fragrance, and her waist that was unbearable. Incredibly soft.

As he thought about it, Li Ling's body gradually became hot, and his throat felt like fire. He subconsciously wanted to take his wife into his arms, but when he touched his side, there was nothing.

Li Ling stood up in a hurry, walked to the table and drank three cups of cold tea before he could barely suppress the anger in his body. He put down the teacup and returned to the couch. This time he didn't dare to think about anything, so he closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep. .
