He led 3,000 men on an expedition. If he wanted to hide, it was very simple. All he had to do was ask these people to put on civilian clothes and disperse out of the city!

But he didn’t!

Instead, he left the city with great fanfare and asked Ying Zheng to come with all the civil and military officials to see him off, just to make Zhao Tuo underestimate the enemy!

This caused the soldiers under him to take it lightly, so that they could be surprised and complete the battle with minimal casualties!

"Remember those jars I told you to be careful about?"

Xiao Zhengtai pointed to the buds on the carriage not far away and said.

"Remember, the young master told us to transport them carefully and never let them near hot places!"

"Even when we are cooking, we have to push those things away first, but what are those?"

"Looks like a cooking pot!"

…

The soldiers nodded and immediately asked questions.

"That one is called Di Lei, and we will rely on it to win a big victory tonight...!"

Xiao Zhengtai showed a bad smile, and then told his plan, "After nightfall, Han Xin will lead a team to lay mines. I have seen the map. The road in front of the pass is only two feet wide. The mines are buried in

This is the most suitable place!”

"Midnight is the time when the will is weakest. At that time, our troops will be divided into two groups. Yingbu, Han Xin, and Fan Kuai will lead two thousand people to attack the pass, and another thousand people will follow Peng Yue, Yingchi, and Wang Li up the mountain!"

"Up the mountain?"

It was obvious that they could enter Lingnan by building a pass, so why did they have to go through layers of dense forests to climb mountains that they had never even seen before?

"That's right. I usually let you practice crossing swamps and climbing rocks. Do you think it's just for fun?"

"oh!"

No one understands it until now.

It turns out that the rock climbing skills I practice on weekdays are for dealing with various terrains in the future!

"Did Young Master have long thought that one day we would go to the battlefield?"

A soldier's eyes suddenly lit up.

Little Shota smiled and said nothing.

Even if it is! He can't say it!

When the veteran Ying Zheng asked for someone, his reason was that he wanted to learn the art of war!

"There are high mountains on both sides of the pass. A thousand people put on casual clothes and climbed through it at night, which was a miasma forest. Everyone brought cotton cloths soaked in water and covered their mouths and noses when passing through the miasma forest, and then sneaked into the city.

Detonated a land bud at the palace, and then immediately spread rumors among the crowd!"

Xiaozhengtai explained two more sentences.

"yes!"

The soldiers responded immediately.

The mountains here are high and the forests are dense. When the sun is still setting in the city, it is already dark in the woods.

"Brothers, follow me!"

Wang Li, Peng Yue and Yingchi had already started climbing over the mountain with their people.

This was physical work. Zhang Liang stayed in the academy on weekdays and didn't take part in much exercise, so he was asked to stay and wait to meet up with Xiao Zhengtai.

To put it bluntly, just look at the pile!

Zhang Liang doesn't have any objections. It's better to join the army than to stay in the academy!

The young lady continued to lie on the grass, closed her eyes and rested, waiting for the night to get later.

Han Xin led Yingbu and several soldiers to lay mines, and they have already set off!

"Brother Han, these jars...oh! By the way, the young master said they are ground buds, what are they for?"

Several people came to the mine-laying site. Yingbu imitated Han Xin's hand movements and asked questions while laying the mines.

"Be careful, this thing can kill everyone within a three-foot radius!"

Han Xin quickly reminded.

"What?"

This sentence frightened Yingbu and made him tremble all over, and the bud in his hand almost fell off.

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

Han Xin looked around cautiously, but fortunately no one noticed them.

This guy has a loud voice, no less loud than Fan Kuai!

"Uh...! Sorry!"

Yingbu quickly shut up and worked quietly with his body bent.

When I reach out to pick up the Di Lei, I hold it with both hands, as respectfully as if I were holding the ancestral tablet, for fear of exploding!

In about an hour, all the buds were deployed, and Han Xin led everyone back to find the young lady!

"All done?"

The young lady still crossed her legs, lying leisurely on the grass and watching the stars.

In later generations, the stars in the sky have been covered by haze, and only in this era can the most beautiful stars be seen!

"Go back, young master, everything is buried!"

Han Xin opened his mouth to report, and then continued: "Young master, we saw the steam inside the pass in a trance when we were outside, and it seemed like they were cooking!"

"Well, it's almost midnight, and it's almost time for the soldiers on night duty to change shifts and have dinner...!"

Xiao Zhengtai stood up like a carp, and his little body jumped up, "Tell the soldiers to polish their knives for me, and let's set off!"

The reason why he waited until midnight, besides being weak-willed, was that he had to wait until the shift change time!

The people guarding Lingnan were all soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, and their living habits were not much different from before.

One group of soldiers went to take over after eating, and the other group just went to eat after being replaced!

"yes!"

Han Xin received the order and immediately went to summon the soldiers. Yingbu wiped the sword that Xiao Zhengtai had just given him.

Although it is not the alloy sword of Yingchi and others, it is better than theirs!

Little Shota was dressed in a black gold war robe, carrying the Desert Eagle in his arms. He took a gun from the palace in his hand, led everyone, and set off on horseback!

As they approached the minefield, Shota Xiao raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

"Yingbu, Han Xin, and eight more people, follow me into the pass. Fan Kuai will lead the others and wait here. After we have led the enemy troops in the pass into the minefield, you can take action again!"

"What? Young Master, are you going too?"

Yingbu's eyes widened.

Even though Yingchi has already said that young Shota is born with supernatural powers and can defeat two others in a fight, he is still a child after all, and he is going to lure the enemy with them?

Isn't this a joke?

Being able to understand strategy and lead troops into battle is already very good!

"certainly!"

Xiao Zhengtai nodded naturally, without any intention of joking.

…

Nanhai County, above the pass city wall.

"Today it's corn porridge and boiled vegetables again. I'm not full at all!"

Among a group of soldiers who came to change shifts, one person complained in frustration.

"Alas! Who says it's not the case? We have three seasons of rice every year, but we are still the same as before, eating corn porridge every day. It's just too much soup and not enough rice, so we can't fill our stomachs at all!"

"There is no way. Zhao Tuo is a little presumptuous now in proclaiming himself king. He is building palaces and recruiting concubines. There are many places where money needs to be spent. In addition to increasing the corvee for the people, we have to use the food and pay of our army.

deduct!"

"If I had known this, I might as well have stayed in Xianyang, why would I have to suffer in a place like this!"

"Yeah, at least in Xianyang I could eat enough corn and rice, but here I just drink rice soup!"

Several people stood weakly at their posts, listless.

"Everyone, please be energetic. General Deng has sent news that the imperial court will send 3,000 people to attack us in the next two days. Let us cheer up and we must not let them enter the border!"

At this moment, a man who looked like a leader came to the pass and opened his mouth to teach.

"You don't give me enough food and you still make me work?"
