Please continue reading on ΒOXΝVEL.ϹΟM .Qi Haoran fell into deep thought.
Mu Yangling pointed at the map and said, “Split up into three groups. One group will ambush here in advance. Remember, your men have to wear the military uniform of the Jin soldiers. The other two groups will take a shortcut to surround West Xia’s guardhouse from here. One group will be responsible for attracting their troops. The other group will go to the horse farm to steal horses. After stealing the horses, get the group in ambush to retreat immediately. When the time comes, the West Xia soldiers will definitely discover our true goal and chase after us. There’s no need to fight the rest of the way and we’ll retreat from the original path. They’ll be ambushed when they chase us here. Then, directly lure them to the Jin Kingdom’s guardhouse. Remember, you have to pretend to be powerless.”
Qi Haoran’s eyes lit up. “If we clean up the traces, they definitely won’t be able to guess that we did it.”
Mu Yangling nodded. “Those who go to steal horses and attract troops have to wear our Great Zhou’s military uniform, but the clothes can be mixed. For example, a team of people can have two of them wearing the company commander uniform or something.”
“They will think that the person who took the shortcut and left are Jin soldiers trying to frame the Great Zhou. This will add credibility to the story.” Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, “Why don’t we send a few more people to shoot a few fire arrows at the Jin Kingdom’s guardhouse at the critical moment and let the Jin Kingdom and West Xia fight? Even if they figure out that they were schemed against by us by then, they will also have become enemies.”
Mu Yangling’s eyes lit up as if there was a fire in them. “Qi Haoran, you’re so smart! Let’s do that. However, the person who does this has to be more flexible. He mustn’t be caught, and we can’t leave our men’s corpses around for them to discover.”
Qi Haoran nodded. “Looks like I still have to prepare a few sets of West Xia military uniforms.” After saying that, he said with a frown, “But that guardhouse is not far from that road. My men are not familiar with that area and only know the general direction. What if they fail to lure them over?”
“My father is familiar with the forest. As long as he has a general direction, he can always find the guardhouse.”
Qi Haoran scratched his head and said in distress, “But I’ve already sent your father away. He won’t be back anytime soon.”
Mu Yangling glared at him. “Don’t tell me you asked my father to be a spy again?”
Seeing that Qi Haoran did not deny, Mu Yangling gritted her teeth and said, “My father is already a company commander. Why are you still asking him to do this?”
“Don’t despise it. This mission allows one to accumulate military merits quickly. Furthermore, your father was the one who took the initiative to ask for it.” Qi Haoran glanced at him and said, “Your younger brother came in first in the entire academy for this year’s examination. Doesn’t he have to work harder to remove your family’s military status before your younger brother participates in the Imperial Examination?”
Mu Yangling gritted her teeth, but she had nothing to say. After a moment of silence, she said, “Can I achieve military merits?”
