I am the master of this world

Chapter 167 The sneak attack is coming, use the plan

A new day, the sun is shining.

The Southeast Palace in the imperial capital was busy. They set off back to Xuzhou today. The soldiers were carrying the gifts. Since they were packed yesterday, they were quickly loaded onto the carriage.

Sima Haiyun walked out of the palace feeling very happy.

Staying in the imperial capital these days made him fearful, fearing that his life would be lost. Fortunately, he obediently stayed at home, so he was safe and could go home.

"Shen Ning, are you packing up? Can we go?" Sima Haiyun asked.

Shen Ning nodded and said with a smile: "You are ready, you can leave now."

"Then what are you waiting for!" Sima Haiyun ordered, and the team started to set off.

Shen Ning walked in front on horseback, flanked by Zhang Liao and Huo Tianxing, he didn't let anyone see him off, and it was easy to reveal his identity, only Lu Xun accompanied him.

Originally, Shen Ning was going to escort Yu Xuefei back to Yu's house, but who knew that the elders of Yu's family had already rushed over and would take Yu Xuefei back, plus Yu Xuefei's aunt added fuel and jealousy, the elders of Yu's family didn't want to see Shen rather.

Shen Ning felt that the return trip was not peaceful, this was Shen Ning's sixth sense, so he gave up his plan to accompany Yu Xuefei home, the Yu family's game of chess was not in a hurry, anyway, they all caught Yu Xuefei's heart , Are you still afraid that she will run away?

In this way, the team left the imperial capital, joined the army outside the city, and began to march north.

The soldiers and horses walked further and further away, looking back at the gradually disappearing city, Shen Ning was not sad, but full of confidence, and the next time he came back, he would definitely make the imperial capital fall apart.

The team rushed to the south bank of the Yangtze River and prepared to stay here overnight and cross the river by boat early tomorrow morning.Vessels on the north shore have been notified by falcon.

Shen Ning ordered Zhang Liao and Meng Tianxing to inspect the barracks, and at the same time sent scouts to patrol around to ensure safety.As long as you cross the river, you will reach the boundary of Xuzhou, and you will be back to your own territory, so you must be cautious tonight.

When I came to the camp of the Chinese Army, I saw three or four young girls surrounding Sima Haiyun, rubbing their shoulders, tapping their legs, and delivering food to their mouths. Enjoy it comfortably.

It's not unreasonable for Sima Haiyun to stay at home when he arrives in the emperor. If it were someone else, with so many beauties around him, no one would be in the mood to go out and fool around. Wouldn't it be nice to hang out at home?
"My son, rest for one night, and you will be able to cross the river tomorrow." Shen Ning reported.

Sima Haiyun waved his hand, and the maids retreated. He sat up and said with a smile, "This trip to the imperial capital is thanks to you!"

"This is what the subordinates should do! I'm just worried that after returning to Xuzhou, someone will make trouble against the situation in the imperial capital." Shen Ning sighed.

It is impossible to hide what Shen Ning did in the imperial capital from Sima Yue. No matter whether it is a promotion to the third rank or meeting the emperor, people will make a fuss about it, so Shen Ning has never thought of hiding these things. He has long told Sima Yue Hai Yun reported it.

For example, drinking with Xiao Rui and Sima Zihao, every time Yang Jian came to him, and he inadvertently rescued Princess Changle. After these things happened, Shen Ning reported to Sima Haiyun in detail that day without any delay. one day.

Even if Sima Haiyun didn't mind and didn't bother to ask, Shen Ning still had to explain in detail, and even ordered someone to prepare a booklet and forge the itinerary.

So Sima Zhou's reward from Emperor Sima Zhou was naturally within Sima Haiyun's expectation. After all, he saved his beloved daughter, how could he not reward him as an emperor?

Shen Ning even held the position of Land Tiger Guard concurrently, Shen Ning did not hide it from Sima Haiyun.

Sima Haiyun knew Shen Ning's worry, and said: "Don't worry, I believe in you, no one can touch you! But you are right, someone will definitely target you, it is a mediocrity not to be envied by others, my father and the king will give it to you." I have absolutely no problem. You have to be careful of Jiang Xiao and Sima Haiying, these two guys are not good at it!"

"As long as the prince trusts the humble position, the humble position will not be afraid of anything!" Shen Ning said excitedly.

Sima Haiyun said proudly: "You were promoted by me, and you will be my right-hand man in the future. Not only did you save me, but you also saved the Southeast Palace. Without you, I have nothing, so what is the friendship between us?" Can others instigate it?"

This fat man is not a good person, he is lazy and has a bad temper, but he also has his own advantages, and what he just said is right, Shen Ning is him, the benefactor of the Southeast Palace!

This reason is the biggest reason why Shen Ning can make Sima Haiyun believe in him. The second reason is that Shen Ning is both civil and military, able to handle affairs, loyal and so on.

Hearing Sima Haiyun's words, Shen Ning returned with a bright smile.

At this moment, Zhang Liao suddenly came outside the tent to ask for an audience.

Sima Haiyun asked Zhang Liao to enter the tent, only to hear Zhang Liao clasping his fists and saying: "Your Highness, Colonel, the scouts have discovered something!"

In the middle of the night, the sky is full of stars, and the sound of the river is endless.

There was a bonfire lit in the tent, it was quiet, and a patrol team was patrolling and being on guard.

A few miles away, a group of soldiers and horses approached slowly, approaching the barracks.

The leader was a burly man, reining in his horse to listen to the scout's report.

"General, Xuzhou Wei's barracks is very quiet. They should all be asleep. There are only a hundred people patrolling around. This is the location map of the other camp."

The scout will report the contents of the investigation in detail.

The man took the location map, looked at it by the moonlight, and locked his eyes on the tent in the middle, Sima Haiyun must live there.

"Yichizhan, don't worry, I will avenge you tonight!" The burly man shouted coldly, full of murderous intent.

This man's name is Nie Biao, and he is one of the five powerful generals under the command of King Sima Jiong of Qi. He is the same as Yuchi Zhan, and he is a good friend with Yuchi Zhan.Ever since Yuchi Zhan failed in his sneak attack on the Southeast Palace and was executed by Ling Chi, Nie Biao has been working hard to avenge him.

King Sima Jiong of Qi also wanted revenge all the time, otherwise how would he explain to his subordinates?But when Sima Haiyun arrived in the imperial capital, he insisted on staying at home for more than a month, and basically didn't take a stroll, so it was difficult for him to send someone to assassinate him.Sima Jiong couldn't lead his troops into the Southeast Palace.

So he had no choice but to give up fighting in the imperial capital and choose to leave the imperial capital before attacking.

So Sima Jiong deliberately left a few days early to make Sima Haiyun take it lightly, and then pretended to cross the river. In fact, he left 1000 people hidden, waiting for the arrival of Sima Haiyun and Shen Ning.

Shen Ning and the others only set up camp temporarily to rest, and would cross the river tomorrow, so the camp was very simple. They set up tents and there were no fences or walls at all.

So once Nie Biao led his troops to sneak attack, he could drive straight into the camp. Even if Shen Ning had [-] elites, double the number of the opponent, but if he was attacked in his sleep, he would suffer heavy losses and would have no way to fight back.

Sima Jiong and Nie Biao were vicious enough to leave Gyeonggi after crossing the river. They were waiting here to make a move, just to catch Shen Ning and the others by surprise, and ordinary people would hardly guess this plot.

Sima Jiong dared to do something here, completely ignoring the imperial court and the Southeast King.

"Order to go down, organize your weapons, and prepare to attack!"

Nie Biao immediately arranged to go down, the distance was already very close, he was going to go all out and charge directly, catching the opponent by surprise.If the opponent was negligent, the greater the casualties, the more successful Nie Biao's surprise attack would be.

Just like that, the 1000 people began to attack at a faster speed. The hooves of the war horses were wrapped in cloth to try not to make too much noise.Seeing the military camp of Xuzhou soldiers and horses getting closer and closer, Nie Biao shouted loudly: "Kill!"

Following his order, the soldiers behind him were divided into three parts, like an arrow cluster, pierced into the barracks, and began to shoot arrows at the tent, but after the arrow feathers shot in, no screams were heard, the whole The barracks seemed to be quiet.

Some Qingzhou soldiers opened the tent and found that there was no one inside.

It wasn't just a tent, so the tents were all empty.

"General, there is no one in the camp at all!" the soldiers reported quickly.

Nie Biao was shocked, and suddenly realized that he had been tricked!

Since there was no tent, there was no Sima Haiyun in the middle camp. It seemed that the plan for tonight had been leaked.

not good!

Nie Biao immediately called for gold and was about to withdraw his troops. The opponent was planning to plan, and there must be an ambush.

And when Nie Biao reacted, the hidden Xuzhou soldiers had already killed them, and Zhang Liao was the leader!

After Shen Ning left the imperial capital, his keen sixth sense made him feel that the return journey would not be peaceful.

Think about it differently, what would you do if you were Sima Jiong?
So Shen Ning ordered the scouts to investigate carefully. The scope of the investigation was very large, and then they discovered the traces of Nie Biao's troops.Anyone else wouldn't be so cautious. After all, they would be crossing the river tomorrow.

Now that the scouts discovered Nie Biao's soldiers and horses, their purpose was obvious. The next step was simple. After Shen Ning reported it to Sima Haiyun, he began to use his plan to let the other party sneak attack and invite you to enter the urn.

Sure enough, Nie Biao didn't know that he had fallen into a trap, and he was confident enough to complete the sneak attack, but instead fell into the trap.

Zhang Liao led the soldiers to rush forward to encircle Qingzhou soldiers and horses, and their positions were reversed. Qingzhou soldiers and horses began to panic. Once the morale of the army changed, it would have a serious impact on morale. disadvantage.

So after the two sides fought, Qingzhou soldiers and horses retreated steadily. Nie Biao felt aggrieved and dared not fight, so he could only retreat and withdraw his troops westward.

Zhang Liao led his troops in pursuit for more than ten miles before stopping the pursuit.

"Run, run"

Zhang Liao didn't regret it at all, he seemed to be waiting for a good show to start.

Nie Biao, who withdrew his troops, was relieved to see that Zhang Liao did not pursue him. Then he counted the soldiers and horses, and lost three to 400 people. In addition to those who ran away, only half of the troops remained.

"Damn it, Shen Ning is so cunning, he actually figured out my plan!" Nie Biao cursed angrily, his heart filled with regret.

But now that the matter was over, Nie Biao could only swallow this breath and prepare to continue heading west, then cross the river into Yuzhou and return to Qingzhou.

He never dared to walk through the boundary of Xuzhou, once he entered, it would be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

"Wait, when I return to Qingzhou, let's fight again!" Nie Biao was still angry, but he could only vent his anger by yelling.

There is a dense forest not far to the west. In the dark dense forest, Shen Ning and Huo Tianxing are waiting quietly, with elite soldiers ambushing beside them.

Huo Tianxing looked at Shen Ning with admiration and asked in a low voice: "Sir, how did you know that the other party would attack secretly and withdraw troops from this road?"

Shen Ning smiled and said: "Put yourself in my shoes. If you were Sima Jiong, you had a grudge against the Southeast King and a strong desire for revenge. Now is the last chance to take action. Would you give up? As for why you ambush there, it is simpler. Because the other party After withdrawing the troops, it is impossible to go south, because our troops attack from the south, and go farther and farther east. To the north is the Yangtze River, so we can only go west. Just check the road to the west, and you will find that this is The only way to go is to ambush here.”

Huo Tianxing nodded.

He was about to speak, but Shen Ning stopped him.

At this time, Nie Biao's soldiers and horses had already walked over on the passage outside the forest.
