Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Will I have to have enough ability in the future to make people accept my ideas?" Xiaoyan asked.

Xiao Lan smiled and affirmed, "You have to be someone that others respect and believe in. There are many capable people, but others may not believe in them. Beliefs cannot be changed just by saying so."

Xiaoyan nodded thoughtfully. Xiaolan didn't know whether she understood or not, but she didn't continue the topic anymore.

Shen Liu called Shen Ada over and said, "Go get two plates of snacks and a pot of tea, and have someone stand guard outside. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

Shen Ada agreed.

He Mingyu spread out a map on the table and said, "This is what I marked after my on-site inspection."

Shen Liu looked at the map carefully and saw that some places were marked very carefully, while others were only roughly marked. Shen Liu pondered for a moment and then said, "What do you want to do?"

He Mingyu regained his composure and pointed at the two routes on the map. "General, I am a little hesitant about these two routes. I want to split the troops into two groups. One group will go in front to attract the attention of the Arab soldiers. I will lead the people to bypass their horse farm and drive away the horses. When we have walked three miles, these people will retreat."

He Mingyu pointed to a road and said, "This road is relatively short, and there are no soldiers guarding or patrolling along the way, but the mountains on both sides are high and the forests are dense, and the road is relatively rugged. It is not easy for us to go with horses." Then he pointed to another road and said, "This road is flat, but there is a Jin stronghold here. If we drive horses through here, I am afraid that it will make too much noise and alarm them. But if we retreat from here with horses, we can at least reduce the time by nearly half. Even if the cavalry of the Arabs pursue us, we will be three miles ahead of them at that time, and it will be difficult for them to catch up. But this is only effective against cavalry. If we attract their large forces here, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to get away..."

He Mingyu couldn't make up his mind which way to go, so he came to discuss with Shen Liu. After all, building a horse farm has always been his wish. Now the horse farm has been built a long time ago, but the horses have not been seen for a long time, making him laughed at by his colleagues for a long time.

Shen Liu's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he asked, "How are you going to frame Da Jin?"

"Hehehe, General, you really understand me. When the time comes, we will wear the clothes of the Jin soldiers." He Mingyu said.

"This alone is not enough," Shen Liu said, "Da Jin is not a fool. They will definitely suspect that we framed them."

He Ming was silent for a while, then put himself in the role of Da Jin and imagined that if he were a Hu person, he would suspect that it was the Han people who did it.

"So, we have to make it more realistic," Shen Liu said. "If we are the Hu people, and the horse farm was robbed by the Hu people, but they want to put the blame on us, the Great Qi Dynasty, what do you think we should do?"

He Ming was lost in thought for a while.

Shen Liu pointed at the map and told him, "Divide the troops into three groups. One group will ambush here in advance. Remember, you must wear the uniforms of the Lakers soldiers. The other two groups, one will take a shortcut from here to surround the stronghold of the Arabs, and the other will steal their horse farm. Remember, after stealing the horses, immediately retreat from the ambush route. By then, the Arab soldiers will definitely have discovered our true purpose and will definitely come back to pursue us. The remaining group of soldiers does not need to fight and can directly withdraw from the original route. When they chase here and are ambushed, lead them directly to the stronghold of the Jin Dynasty. Remember, you must pretend to be defeated and have no strength to continue."

He Mingyu's eyes lit up. The general was indeed a general. He was an expert in leading troops, fighting, and mastering military tactics and the hearts of the people. He felt inferior to him. "After that, we will clean up all the traces. The Arabs will definitely not guess that we did it."

Shen Liu nodded and said, "Those who go to steal horses and attract the attention of the Arab soldiers must wear our Daqi Dynasty military uniforms, but they can't be too uniform. You can wear more mixed clothes, and it would be best if there are some centurions and thousand-householders among the troops."

"We can also send people to fire a few rockets at the Jin stronghold to get the Jin and the Tang Dynasty into a fight. Even if they figure out that we are behind this, it will be useless because they have already formed a grudge against each other."

The more He Mingyu listened, the more excited he became. "Let's do it this way. Hehehe, the general is still thoughtful. I have to carefully consider who will do this. We have to find some smart people for this. We can't let them catch us, and we can't leave our bodies to them."

"I have to prepare more clothes, including clothes for the Tang Dynasty," he said, and then he became melancholy. "Alas, the road from the Jin stronghold is not close to the Tang Dynasty's horse farm. I am not familiar with that place. I only know the general direction. What if I can't lead people over?"

"The person who will launch a sneak attack on the Jin stronghold must be carefully considered. This person will also be responsible for bringing the Jin and Arab soldiers together. This person must be brave and careful, as well as smart and able to fight in the woods." Shen Liu said.

Shen Liuyue said that He Ming and Yue felt that there was a suitable person who met all the requirements, but she was a young girl. In what position did they ask her to take on this task?

Shen Liu also felt that Xiao Lan was the most suitable person for this task, but she was just a commoner who paid taxes every year to feed these soldiers. They should protect the people instead of asking the people to protect them.

"General, I think Miss Xiaolan is definitely qualified to be the archer, but she is just a little girl after all, and we can't ask her to help us do such a dangerous thing without any reason. Besides, even if the little girl agrees to this kind of life, her parents will not agree to it."

"You make preparations first. Arrange for someone to pick her up and bring her to your residence for a chat in two days. The girl has a clear mind and maybe she will agree." Shen Liu said.

"If we lure them with benefits, maybe they will really agree." He Mingyu said.

Sure enough, Xiao Lan lived up to everyone's expectations and agreed readily.

The benefit of seducing her was that Shen Liu promised her that after this thing was done, he would ask the emperor for credit for her. If this thing could really be done, the credit would definitely be great. "I heard that your brother studied hard every day just to help your family cross the class barrier."

To hit a snake, you have to hit it at its most vulnerable part. Shen Liu knew her weak spot. Xiao Lan gritted her teeth. Shen Liu's words were so blunt that she was speechless.
