Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

"I really can't understand how Pan Yue and Sun Yaozu, both of whom are extremely smart people, could have given birth to these two bastards."

Not far away, Yue Hanshan sighed softly and shook his head repeatedly.

Beside him, Chen Wenxin gently waved his feather fan, completely different from his usual calmness.

"One who the entire battalion knows is an undercover agent, except himself. Another who thinks his disguise is flawless, but even a private can see through it."

"But it just happened that these two, because of each other's stupidity, were able to play against each other and allow the plan to proceed smoothly."

"This kind of thing makes me doubt my fortune-telling skills."

"How lucky does a person like this have to be to be able to be made a marquis or become a general?"

Seeing Chen Wenxin fall into self-doubt, Yue Hanshan couldn't help but laugh.

He walked forward and gently patted Chen Wenxin's shoulder. "Military Advisor, don't be discouraged. When it comes to fortune-telling, there will always be unusual people who disrupt the divination."

"These two are truly extraordinary individuals, as they are able to carry out undercover work to this extent."

"Speaking of which, I now admire our Commander Xia more and more."

Chen Wenxin was startled and looked at Yue Hanshan in confusion, "What do you mean, General Yue?"

Yue Hanshan raised his hand and looked at Pan Hongxing who was squatting on the ground.

"At first, I didn't understand why Commander Xia sent these two weirdos to our military camp. He knew they were undercover agents, but he still kept them."

"Now I finally understand. It's better to keep these two. Not only can they be used, but at least they can prevent the enemy from sending in a smart one."

"That makes sense."

Chen Wenxin couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.

"Commander Xia is truly a rare talent. He sometimes thinks much more than we do."

Yue Hanshan nodded, "Anyway, the commander-in-chief's plan has been moved forward."

"Next, we'll see what those two idiots have to offer."

After he finished speaking, Yue Hanshan pondered for a moment, then turned around and returned to the tent.

Half a day later.

Inside the Poison Dragon Gang, Jiang Tai opened a letter of superstition with an expressionless face.

The letter was very long, with nearly a thousand words written in a fluent manner.

A hint of impatience flashed across Jiang Tai's face. Only after reading to the end did his frown relax and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"What a Xia Mingyuan! With only four or five thousand men, he dares to spy on my Poison Dragon Gang?"

"Even if the three thousand elite soldiers weren't in the stronghold, it wouldn't be difficult to deal with your small number of people."

As he spoke, he threw the secret letter in his hand into the brazier in front of him and burned it. He sneered, "I didn't expect that these two could be of use at a critical moment."

"It's just that Sun Wenju's brain has been damaged by his excessive reading, and the county magistrate has no one to succeed him."

"Somebody come!"

"Send the other leaders to the main camp for a discussion."

At the command, all six Vajras of the Poison Dragon Gang, except the third in command Chen Qing and the second in command Guo Zhen, arrived at the stronghold.

"Brothers, everyone has heard of Xia Mingyuan, right?"

Seeing that everyone was present, Jiang Tai slowly stood up and glanced at everyone.

"Brother, isn't that the guy who claimed to have wiped out the banditry in Hanyang in a month?"

"I heard he even made a bet with the county magistrate, putting up 20,000 taels of silver. He's just a jerk who's giving money away."

The fifth brother He Lianchang made a joke, which immediately caused a burst of laughter in the village.

Jiang Tai couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, sighed and said: "This guy is said to have prepared 1,500 troops and wants to attack our Poison Dragon Gang."

"Hahaha!"

"One thousand five hundred men?"

"Brother, are you sure this guy isn't here to beg for food?"

Before Jiang Tai finished speaking, the fourth in command Liu Chuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

There was a lot of discussion in the entire village, and many people simply sat down, not taking the 1,500 people seriously at all.

Jiang Tai shook his head and said, "These 1,500 people are just Xia Mingyuan's bait."

"It is said that he has prepared 3,000 men, waiting for us to take the bait and then close the net."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was another burst of laughter.

"Brother, no matter how many people he brings, as long as we don't go down the mountain, let him do whatever he wants. If he has the guts, he can use these thousands of people to fight us back."

Qin Tong, the Sixth Master, looked very proud and raised his chin, saying, "Our brothers will be waiting at Yixiantian."

"I'm sure that Xia Mingyuan will be deterred from attacking the Poison Dragon Gang again."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people nodded.

"Old Six is ​​right. Since Big Brother has seen through their plan, we should deliberately not take the bait and make this kid anxious to death." Old Five continued to speak brightly.

"Lao Liu's idea is indeed feasible."

“But I thought there might be another way.”

Jiang Tai put his hands together to quiet everyone down.

Several bosses raised their heads and looked at him.

Jiang Tai hesitated for a moment and said, "Xia Mingyuan only has 5,000 men at most. If our Poison Dragon Gang uses them properly, we can easily capture them all."

"If this battle can be understood in this way, it will definitely benefit our village."

Qin Tong, the sixth elder, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Brother, if that's the case, our 5,000 stronghold members can indeed devour him."

"However, if this information is wrong, wouldn't it be too risky..."

Jiang Tai shook his head and said, "Sixth Brother, you are just too cautious."

"Xia Mingyuan has been in Hanyang for less than a month. Even if he could make people, he couldn't muster an army of more than 5,000 people."

"According to the intelligence I received, Xia Mingyuan must have come out in full force this time. If we don't take him down, he will definitely continue to harbor evil intentions in the future."

"Brother is right!"

He Lianchang, the fifth brother, nodded in agreement. "That little bastard Xia Mingyuan has been spouting nonsense ever since he arrived in Hanyang. If we don't eliminate him, how can our Poison Dragon Gang maintain its prestige?"

"It would have been fine if he hadn't taken the initiative to provoke us, but now he's actively coming to provoke us. How can we let him go back?"

"That's right, we planned it out without any intention. We will not only eat his bait, but also eat those three thousand people together. In this way, Xia Mingyuan will never have any chance of turning the tables."

In the big village, everyone was talking to each other, and some of them were tempted.

Destroying Xia Mingyuan's army in one go would indeed save us a lot of trouble in the future.

Seeing this, Jiang Tai's mouth corners slightly raised.

"In that case, then follow my plan."

"Fourth and Fifth Brothers, the two of you will each take two thousand men down the mountain and secretly ambush on both sides of the mountain road."

"Old Eight, you take five hundred old and weak men and pretend to encounter the enemy. Fight and retreat at the same time, only willing to lose, not win. Lure the enemy deep into your territory. When the enemy reveals their main force, you, Old Four or Fifth, will attack and capture them."

"I'll lead the remaining several hundred people from our village to provide cover in secret, just in case something unexpected happens."

Jiang Tai issued orders in an orderly manner, with a cold gleam in his eyes.
