Chapter 147: Beat Him In His Own Game

Yao Zhen nodded after hearing Jin Huai’s words. He looked up at the other generals and said, "Prepare better meals for the soldiers tonight. We must recover our army’s strength as soon as possible."

The other generals clasped their fists and said, "Yes, General."

After giving the order, Yao Zhen looks at Jin Huai’s frowning face and asks, "Advisor Jin, do you have anything to tell us?"

Hearing Yao Zhen’s question, Jin Huai glanced at him and said, "I don’t know if it’s a premonition or not, but based on Qi Baijun’s previous actions, I’m afraid he will launch an attack tonight."

Yao Zhen frowned and said, "Yes. I remember that he captured Tai Yuan City with only five hundred soldiers. He also launched a surprise attack at night."

Hearing his words, several other generals nodded one after another. Recalling the content of the battle report about the fall of Tai Yuan City, Song Yanlei said, "Then we should make preparations before Qi Baijun’s night attack."

Jin Huai agreed with his words and said, "Mhm, we should be ready to counter-attack them."

Yao Zhen looked at the smile on his lips and asked, "Advisor Jin, do you have any ideas?"

Jin Huai nodded and said, "Yes. We will beat him in his own game."

When Yao Zhen heard Jin Huai’s words, a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "You want to make the first move?"

Jin Huai shook his head and said, "No. With the current conditions of our soldiers, we can’t make the first move."

Yao Zhen and others were at a loss after hearing what he said. He hesitated and said, "Then... What is Advisor Jin’s plan?"

Jin Huai looked at them with a smile, stroked his beard and said, "We don’t need to make a frontal attack against them tonight. What we need to do is to improve the morale of our soldiers. Therefore, our goal is to capture their leader."

"Captive their leader? You mean Qi Baijun?" Yao Zhen asked with a frown.

Song Yanlei also frowned and said, "Qi Baijun’s martial arts is very high, and he is a very cunning man. I don’t think we can capture him alive, do we?"

Jin Huai looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "General Song, we don’t need to do anything, because he will send himself to us tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Zhen’s eyes lit up. He looked at Jin Huai and asked, "Could it be that Qi Baijun will personally lead the attack tonight?"

Jin Huai nodded and said confidently: "Exactly."

Du Yuanwei was silent for a moment, then said, "Since this is the case, then we have to prepare the trap as soon as possible."

Jin Huai raised his hand and said, "No rush. We shouldn’t beat the bush and startle the snake."

Yao Zhen thought for a while and said, "I agree with Advisor Jin’s opinion. If they noticed what we were doing, it would all be for naught."

"So, what should we do?" Ren Fanyan asked.

Yao Zhen was silent for a moment, then looked at Jin Huai and asked, "Advisor Jin, can you predict where Qi Baijun’s target is?"

Jin Huai raised three fingers and said, "With his way of doing things, there are only three things that can become his target. One, is rations. Without rations, he can easily win a war by simply waiting to drain our strength and morale. The second target is the commander’s life."

Turning to look at Yao Zhen, he said, "That is you, General Yao."

Yao Zhen nodded calmly and asked, "Then what’s the third thing?"

"The third target is our military intelligence. That is me." Jin Huai replied calmly.

After Jin Huai’s finishing speaking, Yao Zhen said, "General Du, you will protect the rations for tonight. Make sure that the soldiers guarding the rations have high martial arts."

Du Yanwei clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate accepted the order."

Only then did Yao Zhen look at Ren Fanyan and said, "General Ren, you will secretly protect Advisor Jin. We don’t want them to get what they want, but we should let out some loopholes, for the fish to take the bait."

Ren Fanyan nodded, clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate understands."

He then looked at Song Yanlei and Meng Sikuan, and said, "General Song and General Meng should be prepared to fight with Qi Baijun’s Black Qilin Army, in case our plan goes wrong."

The two clasped their fists and said, "Yes, General."

After finishing giving out the orders, Yao Zhen looked at Jin Huai and said, "Advisor Jin, you should stay in your tent until everything ends."

Jin Huai clasped his hands together, bowed slightly to Yao Zhen, and said, "This subordinate accepted the command."

With that said, the meeting ended, and everyone prepared for the upcoming battle. At the same time, six hundred miles away from Lin Zi City, an eagle flew at fast speed. After circling over a mule cart for a while, the eagle flew down and landed on the coachman’s seat.

Xiao Han picked up the eagle, untied the small bamboo strip on its legs, and let it go. After the eagle had gone far away, he quietly looked at the words on the small bamboo slip. After reading the message, he looked at his elder brother.

"Elder Brother, Xiao Ba just sent a message. The Shang Empire army led by General Yao Zhen has arrived at the northern border. They have set up camp a hundred li away from Lin Zi City." He said calmly.

"Has he found out who the commander-in-chief of the Bei Wei Empire army is?" Xiao Shao asked expressionlessly.

Xiao Han nodded to his elder brother and said, "Yes. It’s Qi Baijun and his Black Qilin Army."

Hearing this, Xiao Shao frowned slightly and asked, "How many troops did General Yao bring this time?"

Xiao Han said, "One hundred thousand troops. As for Qi Baijun, he only brought thirty thousand troops."
