It was midnight, and the heavy rain finally stopped... At this time, it was supposed to be when humans were wandering in their dreams, but no one fell asleep on the plains near Chanyuan.

Yelu Mo was still waiting for good news to come back, while Zhao Weiji was preparing to create some "good news" for Yelu Mo.

"How much dry firewood has been collected?" Tie Zheng was commanding the soldiers to pick up dry firewood.

"Return to General, not much." The soldiers who were exhausted by the assassin incident were unable to speak at this time.

Tie Zheng looked at the pile of dry firewood that was not very high in front of him, and sighed helplessly, causing the soldiers who could not hold on to go back and rest quickly.

At this time, Zhao Weiji came over and said, "How is it? How many can it be?"

Tie Zheng helplessly pointed to the small pile of dry firewood on the ground: "When you go back to the prince, there is only one point, which is basically not enough."

Looking at the firewood in front of him, Zhao Weiji patted Tie Zheng on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, this is enough. Now you find someone to dismantle the tent and remove one-third of the tents to make a fire."

When Tie Zheng heard that he was going to dismantle the tent, he was a little confused. Didn’t he just say that he would create the illusion that their assassin had succeeded for the Liao army? As for the fact that it was so realistic?

Seeing that Tie Zheng was still stunned, Zhao Weiji patted his shoulder again: "Why are you still standing there? Go quickly."

Tie Zheng, who was once again hit by Zhao Weiji, came to his senses, but he did not do this immediately, but asked a question: "Prince, where are the soldiers living in the tent?"

"If the soldiers are crowded, they can't be squeezed out, they will be placed in the generals' military tent. Anyway, the generals are all single and one military tent, and there is space. My military tent can also be placed in."

Tie Zheng, who originally wanted to say something, heard that Zhao Weiji's own military tent could be placed in, so he thought that the other generals did not dare to say anything more, so he did not ask too many questions, but called the soldiers in the tent to be demolished again, and moved to remove the tents.

About half an hour later, all the tents to be burned were removed, and the dry wooden support columns were split into the size of firewood and piled on the original firewood pile. The tent cloth was still wet, and it was placed aside.

At this time, everything was basically ready, Zhao Weiji ordered the pile of firewood to light and put the wet firewood aside, and added it to the pile while drying it.

According to Zhao Weiji's request, the fire must be burned vigorously and long.

In this way, the flames soared into the sky emerged from the Song army's barracks and could be seen from a distance.

...

When the fires in the Song army camp soared into the sky, all the officers in the Liao army camp who were arranged by Yelu Mo to stare at the Song army camp were excited. In their opinion, the fire broke out in the Song army camp, which means that the warriors they sent to the night attack should have succeeded. Although they didn't know why they succeeded so late, it was better than doing nothing.

So some of them immediately ran to Yelu Mo's military tent, wanting to tell them the good news as soon as possible.

"Mr. Yilijin, good news, good news." Before he could lift the curtain of Yelumo's tent, the person who reported it had already started shouting.

Hearing the words "good news", Yelu Mo hurriedly ran over and lifted the curtain, and saw a soldier standing panting at the door and about to lift the curtain.

"What good news?" Yelu Mo asked quickly after letting the man in.

"We have to stop, they have succeeded."

As soon as he heard it, Yelu Mo naturally knew what he was referring to: "It's true or false? How did you know?"

The soldier didn't know how to explain to Yelu Mo, so he grabbed Yelu Mo's hand and pulled him outside the tent. As soon as he arrived outside the tent, Yelu Mo was attracted by the fire that soared into the sky in the distance.

"Is the Song army's military camp over there?" Looking at the raging fire, Yelu Mo asked the soldiers beside him.

"That's right, there is the Song army's barracks over there. Judging from the fire, our people should have succeeded."

Yelu Mo was actually not sure whether he had succeeded, but looking at the sky-sky fire, it shouldn't be fake. Song Jun shouldn't be so stupid that he set fire to the fire.

However, Yelu Mo still did not dare to draw a conclusion rashly. He asked the soldiers to continue staring at them to see how long the fire could last, and was preparing to send a scout to investigate the Song army's barracks early the next morning to see what it was burned.

The fire stopped at dawn, and just as the fire was extinguished, the scouts of the Liao Kingdom came out, and they quickly advanced towards the Song army's barracks with the help of the Yubaibai in the sky.

But they didn't expect that all their actions had been seen completely by the scouts of the Song army with telescopes.

Seeing all this, he quickly returned to Zhao Weiji: "Prince, the people over there are here."

At this time, Zhao Weiji had just taken out the potatoes roasted in the remaining charcoal ash and was about to eat them. After hearing the scouts' reward, he put down the potatoes and issued an order to the scouts: "You go and pass the orders and let everyone prepare according to the previous arrangement."

After saying that, Zhao Weiji returned to his tent with the two roasted potatoes, and the messenger left the burnt place with Zhao Weiji's order.

When the Liao army scouts were around the Song army camp, the Song army camp they saw was full of life, as if they had just been defeated, their morale was dispersed and people's hearts were fluctuating.

One-third of the local tents in the military camp were gone, and the ground was covered with scorched earth. There were still hundreds of corpses on the scorched earth, and the bodies were still burnt and beyond recognition.

At this moment, the Khitan scout saw several soldiers fighting. One of them was beaten with bruises on his face and shouted from time to time: "The food is burned out and the cannons are destroyed. How can we fight this battle?"

Just after this person finished shouting this sentence, a little thin soldier squatted on the ground and started crying. The moment he cried, several big guys gave him the main point, feeling that he wanted to teach this boy who influenced the morale of the army.

Seeing this, the Khitan scouts felt that it was enough. They quietly retreated for 200 meters, then turned around and rushed back to the Liao army's barracks.

But the moment they turned around and returned to the camp, a scene that should have shocked them happened.

The fighters all put down their high fists and began to speak up to the beaten soldier. The beaten soldier accepted the apology with a smile, and then took a piece of cloth and wiped it on his face.

Just after he wiped his face, the bruises on his face miraculously disappeared.

The crying soldier who was the leader stood up with a slight face and was hooked by a soldier who had originally surrounded him next to him. The two of them, who were still tense just now, were talking and laughing.

"You kid is crying well." Another soldier slapped the soldier's head from behind and then teased him.

The soldier rubbed his own fuss so much that he said embarrassedly: "Where, if you hadn't surrounded me just now, I would have laughed out loud."

At this time, the originally dead military camp suddenly regained its vitality, and there was no such scene of suffering at all.

The burnt corpses were also dragged by the soldiers to some pre-digged pits and buried. There was no pain of losing their robes on the faces of these living soldiers.

When the entire military camp returned to normal, Zhao Weiji walked out of his tent. It can be seen that he was in a very good mood. Not only was there a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was also a little pepper powder. It seemed that the two potatoes just now had entered their stomachs.

Zhao Weiji, who walked out of the military tent, summoned all the soldiers to the center of the military camp. Wherever he praised all the soldiers, saying that they did very beautifully, especially the key points of praise for the soldiers who pretended to fight and pretended to cry.

In Zhao Weiji's words, he has excellent acting skills.

It turned out that all of this was a big show directed by Zhao Weiji, in order to paralyze the Khitan army and make them think that the Song army's artillery was gone and the food was burned, and they were basically about to collapse.

Zhao Weiji did this to support the Khitan army and prevent them from retreating. Then, after Li Jiguang came, he killed all these Khitan troops.

It can be said that the play he directed did trick the scouts sent by Yelu Mo. When these scouts returned to the Khitan military camp, the Song army camp that they reflected from them was a scene of heavy losses and about to collapse.

What made Yelu Mo particularly happy was that the weapon that made the Khitan army scared was probably the artillery thing that had been destroyed. In this way, the Khitan cavalry would no longer have natural enemies. As long as the Song army dared to fight, there would be only a dead end.

At this moment, a Khitan general had already proposed to issue a letter of war to the Song army immediately and go to fight to defeat the Song army. However, his proposal was denied by Yelu Mo.

"Now, when you go to the battle, you can only see the Song army's high-level battle-free sign."

Sure enough, when the general sent his men to call the battle, all he saw was Zhao Weiji who cooperated very well and the battle-free sign hanging high on the gate.

He really thought that Yi Lijin was as good as a god when he went back and continued to ask Yelu Mo: "When will we defeat the Song army in this way? What should we do if they retreated?"

Regarding this question, Yelu Mo gave the answer in a hurry: "Don't worry about this, they dare not retreat. Once they retreat, they will be frantically pursued by our Iron Cavalry of the Great Liao Dynasty. The Song army, which is all infantry, cannot escape. Now, as long as you send people to the opposite camp to curse the enemy every day, the Song army will naturally face the battle for three days."
