I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Lin Fan lent Qin Shi'an to Lin Rui, on the one hand to protect Lin Rui, so that Lin Rui would not really die on the battlefield.

On the other hand, it is also to monitor Lin Rui. Qin Shian is a stubborn person. As long as it is Lin Fan's order, Qin Shian will execute it without hesitation, so Qin Shian is the best person to monitor Lin Rui.

Moreover, Qin Shian is not afraid of power at all. Of course, this may also be because Qin Shian does not know what power means.

However, Lin Fan was sure that even if Qin Shian knew this, he would not be afraid.

After all, if Qin Shian was afraid of these things, he would not have told Lin Fan that he wanted Emperor Liang's head.

Lin Rui finally agreed. On the one hand, it was because of the pressure from Lin Fan and the Iron Hat King, and on the other hand, Lin Rui himself wanted to get the credit.

After convincing Lin Rui, the Iron Hat King and Lin Rui immediately began to prepare.

The plan this time is very simple. To put it bluntly, it is to repair the plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang.

Lin Rui and Iron Hat King dressed up as Lin Fan's troops. Later, Lin Rui led his men to attack Yangcheng. After attracting all the surrounding troops to Yangcheng, Lin Fan led his men to attack Luocheng. Then, they went straight to Minjiang Pass from Luocheng.

After a few hours of dressing up, Lin Rui was dressed up to look like Lin Fan. No matter the style of armor or the weapons in his hands, they all looked exactly the same as Lin Fan. Even Lin Fan's men were stunned. If it weren't for the difference in the look in Lin Rui's and Lin Fan's eyes, they might have been confused.

"It's very similar." Chu Hu said in amazement.

"Of course they are similar. Don't forget that they are brothers." Yang Wenhu said softly.

Everyone then realized that Lin Fan and Lin Rui had been in opposition all along, and everyone subconsciously overlooked the fact that they were brothers. Thinking of this key information at this moment, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

Throughout history, how many brothers were born in the imperial palace, and how many of them ended up killing each other because of fighting for power?

But this is something that is bound to happen, and only a few people will be immune.

No one thought too much about this matter. Anyway, these things were none of their business. There was only one thing they needed to do, and that was to follow the Marquis.

Lin Fan also said that Lin Rui looked very similar to him.

"It does look a bit like him, but only in this way can we confuse Huangfu Pengwu."

Lin Fan thought about it and decided that he couldn't be the only one to appear. There must be a few of his iconic characters beside Lin Rui. If none of these generals showed up, it would seem a bit fake.

Lin Fan turned his head and looked, then looked at Chu Hu and Xiang Long. These two people had been by his side for the longest time and could completely appear as iconic characters. Having them follow Lin Rui could also help confuse the enemy.

“Chu Hu, Xiang Long, the two of you just follow Lin Rui. Show up wherever you can. Make sure the enemy think they are my army.” Lin Fan said to Chu Hu and Xiang Long.

The two immediately understood what Lin Fan meant, and neither of them had any objections. After all, in order to implement the plan, they had to do this.

After giving the order, the Iron Hat King sent people to replace all the flags with Lin Fan's flags. However, because everyone in my family is from Daliang, the armor and other things are quite similar, with only some differences in details.

However, outsiders are not aware of these details, so Lin Fan and the Iron Hat King did not deliberately change them.

After everything was prepared, the Iron Hat King and Lin Rui set out for Yangcheng, while Lin Fan led his men quietly towards Luocheng.

Lin Fan took small paths along the way, and sometimes even walked through the mountains, just to avoid people noticing anything unusual.

Lin Rui and the Iron Hat King's team were different. They just walked on the main road and did not hide their whereabouts at all.

After Huangfu Pengwu was released by Lin Fan, he ran directly back to Sanguan County. The garrison commander here was Huangfu Pengwu's brother, Huangfu Qi, who had previously gone to the Western Wei Kingdom with Huangfu Pengwu.

Huangfu Qi was also shocked when he learned that Huangfu Pengwu had been defeated twice in a row. He did not expect that Lin Fan would be so strong.

So after Huangfu Pengwu arrived, the two of them had been studying countermeasures and thinking about how to resist Lin Fan.

However, Huangfu Pengwu and Huangfu Qi had studied it for a long time, but had not yet figured out how to confront Lin Fan head-on.

On this day, the two were still standing in front of the map studying, trying to find a way out, when they heard someone outside the door say, "General, the enemy is moving."

Huangfu Pengwu and Huangfu Qi were shocked. They thought Lin Fan was going to launch an attack on Sanguan County.

Huangfu Qi opened the door and asked hurriedly, "When? Has the siege started already?"

The scout who came to report knew that the two generals had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained: "The two generals have misunderstood. The enemy did not attack the city, but went to the south."

"south?"

Huangfu Pengwu and Huangfu Qi were both very confused. They had always thought that Lin Fan would attack Sanguan County next, but they did not expect that Lin Fan would actually lead his men to the south.

The two walked to the map, unfolded it, and looked carefully at the city on it.

The two began to analyze carefully where Lin Fan would attack if he went south.

"In my opinion, if Lin Fan leads his men to the south, the biggest possibility is to attack Yangcheng. After all, Yangcheng is a military stronghold, and only its interior is worth Lin Fan's attack now." Huangfu Qi said, pointing to Yangcheng on the map.

Huangfu Pengwu was also looking at the map, his face full of thought. Huangfu Pengwu thought about it carefully and felt that what Huang Fuqi said was right.

"Yes, if Lin Fan really goes south, then his target must be Yangcheng. After all, Lin Fan has always attacked military strongholds first. Whether it is Jinsha River or Jiefeng City, Lin Fan will try every means to take it down."

Huangfu Qi nodded. Lin Fan indeed acted like this, so the two of them had no doubt that Lin Fan did this at this time because he wanted to attack Yangcheng.

"Should we support Yangcheng?" Huangfu Qi looked at Huangfu Pengwu and said.

Huangfu Pengwu thought about it briefly, then shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see what happens. Anyway, this place is not far from Yangcheng. When Lin Fan really makes a move, we will act. Otherwise, I'm afraid of Lin Fan's trick."

Huangfu Qi was a little surprised. He was surprised that Huangfu Pengwu was so afraid of Lin Fan. After all, this was Huangfu Pengwu, and he had never seen him afraid of others before.
