"Yes, a decapitation operation! We can't give up like this." Lu Qingyun's voice was particularly clear in the quiet night sky. He gripped the swallowtail dagger tightly in his hand, and his determined eyes swept across the confused and exhausted faces of the crowd. "We must seize the initiative and capture the leader first."

"Capture the leader first? Qingyun, do you mean...?" Jiang You asked tentatively. He had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to believe it.

Lu Qingyun took a deep breath and said firmly, "Let's capture Chen Jingxing. This way, we can not only guarantee our safe evacuation, but also use him to exchange for Dazhuang!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the earthen house fell into silence.

"Capture Chen Jingxing? This..." Jiang Zuocheng's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "He's the military advisor of the anti-Japanese camp. Not to mention the guards around him, he's a top expert. How could we possibly capture him?"

"Yes, Qingyun." Zhao Xiaojing also looked troubled. "For us, this kind of luck doesn't seem to be much different from failure?"

Lu Qingyun understood their concerns, but he already had a plan in mind. "I know this is risky." He glanced around at everyone, his tone calm and resolute, "But this is our only hope. The anti-Japanese camp may appear calm, but in reality, it's in chaos. Chen Jingxing has expert guards around him, but think about it, does he really need them to deal with us right now? So, I don't think there's no chance."

"Qingyun, tell me your plan in detail." Zhang Tiecheng said in a deep voice. He knew that since Lu Qingyun dared to propose this plan, he must be confident about it.

Lu Qingyun walked over to the simple wooden table. In the dim candlelight, he pointed to a map on the table and began to explain his plan in detail. "I know Chen Jingxing. He is very confident. After fighting with us, he doesn't take us seriously. That's why he won't be accompanied by many guards. We can take action when he is patrolling the camp and control him as quickly as possible. Then we can use him to exchange for Da Zhuang and complete the evacuation."

"But we know nothing about the situation inside the anti-Japanese camp. How can we find Chen Jingxing and how can we get close to him without being discovered?" Zhao Xiaojing raised his question.

"This is where we need to take risks." A glint of inspiration flashed in Lu Qingyun's eyes. "Let's use the old method, making the fake look real. Jiang Zuo, your handwriting copying skills will come in handy."

Lu Qingyun looked at Jiang Zuo approvingly, patted his shoulder and said, "Jiang Zuo, your handwriting imitation is very vivid. This time it depends on you."

Jiang Zuo smiled faintly and said confidently, "Don't worry, Qingyun. Don't you know my abilities? I guarantee that I can make the fake look real and Chen Jingxing won't be able to spot the flaw."

Lu Qingyun nodded and continued, "Imitate Chen Jingxing's handwriting and forge an intelligence letter, saying that we are at a defense point in the southwest..."

"The defense point in the southwest?" Zhang Tiecheng pondered for a moment. "It's close to the woods and hills. The terrain is complex, so it's indeed easy for people to hide there. At the same time, we can gain an advantage by attacking from high ground."

Lu Qingyun glanced at him appreciatively and said, "That's right, so we'll write in the letter that we found someone who looks like he's from the Zhaoyin Academy Intelligence Department there, and lure Chen Jingxing to go check it out in person. We'll then ambush him on the road that the defense point must pass through, and as soon as he arrives, we'll immediately tie him up with the Immortal Rope!"

"Great!" Zhao Xiaojing slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "This way, not only can we lure Chen Jingxing out, but we can also catch him off guard!"

"But," Jiang You said with a worried look on his face, "what if Chen Jingxing doesn't fall for it, or if he brings a lot of guards with him?"

"So," Lu Qingyun smiled slightly, "the content of this letter is extremely important. We need to write it in an urgent enough way so that he will have to check it in person."

"Leave it to me." Jiang Zuo patted his chest confidently, "I guarantee that Chen Jingxing will take the bait!"

"Okay!" Lu Qingyun nodded heavily. "Let's set off now without delay and try to complete the mission before dawn!"

Lu Qingyun took out the intelligence order that Jiang Zuo had forged overnight from his arms and checked it carefully in the dim moonlight.

"How is it? My handwriting is imitated pretty well, right?" Jiang Zuo came over and asked with some pride.

Lu Qingyun didn't answer immediately. His sharp eyes scanned every word on the intelligence order, trying to miss no detail. After confirming there were no flaws, he breathed a sigh of relief and carefully placed the intelligence order back in his pocket, muttering, "Hmm, not bad. It's so real that Chen Jingxing shouldn't be able to tell."

Hearing Lu Qingyun's praise, Jiang Zuo showed a proud smile on his face. "Of course!" He patted his chest and said confidently.

Lu Qingyun carefully put the intelligence order back into his pocket, looked up at the sky, and saw that the sky in the east was already turning pale.

"It's almost time. I'm going to the anti-Japanese camp now."

"How about I go with you?" Zhang Tiecheng was a little worried.

"No need." Lu Qingyun shook his head. "Too many people will easily arouse suspicion. You stay here to support the others." After that, Lu Qingyun changed into a set of armor of a soldier in the Anti-Japanese Camp. This set of armor was "taken" from the Anti-Japanese Camp by them before. It was a little loose on him, but fortunately, no clues could be seen without a close look.

He stretched his muscles to make sure he could move freely, then ran towards the anti-Japanese camp without looking back.

By the time Lu Qingyun arrived at the entrance to the anti-Japanese camp, it was already completely light. He took a deep breath, trying to appear calm, and then strode towards Chen Jingxing's tent. He had to deliver this "intelligence" to Chen Jingxing to ensure the smooth progress of his plan.

"Stop! Who are you?" A guard blocked Lu Qingyun's way.

"I have urgent military information to report to General Chen!" Lu Qingyun lowered his voice and spoke hurriedly.

"Military information?" The guard looked Lu Qingyun up and down. Seeing that he was wearing the armor of the anti-Japanese camp and his expression did not seem fake, he put down his spear and said, "Wait, I'll go and report it."

"Go quickly and come back soon!" Lu Qingyun urged.

The guard quickly ran into the tent and came out a few moments later, saying to Lu Qingyun, "Military Advisor, you're allowed in."

Lu Qingyun walked into the tent and saw Chen Jingxing hunched over his desk reviewing official documents. He stepped forward, knelt on one knee, presented the intelligence order with both hands, and said loudly, "Military Advisor, I have urgent military information to report!"

Chen Jingxing put down the brush in his hand, took the intelligence order, and examined it carefully.

Lu Qingyun lowered his head, but kept an eye on Chen Jingxing's expression. He saw that Chen Jingxing's brows were furrowed, and his face was becoming more and more solemn. He was obviously shocked by the content of the intelligence order.

After reading the intelligence order, he suddenly raised his head and asked in a stern voice, "Is this intelligence reliable?"

"It's absolutely true!" Lu Qingyun said confidently, "I saw it with my own eyes!"

Chen Jingxing pondered for a moment and said to Lu Qingyun, "You go down and rest first. I will make arrangements for this matter."

"Yes!" Lu Qingyun bowed respectfully, then turned and left the tent. He breathed a long sigh of relief after leaving the tent. He knew that the most crucial step had been successful.
