Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 348 Li Ling’s clever plan

Jin Wangqiang stayed patiently for three more days. Early in the morning on the third day, Jin Wang couldn't wait to find Li Ling's tent again.

 Li Ling got up early and returned from practicing martial arts. He was having breakfast when he saw the King of Jin coming over again. He only raised his eyes and asked, "Can the prince have some food? Do you want me to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks for the prince?"

King Jin was so anxious that he couldn't eat anything. He just smiled and replied: "I have already used it, so please use it yourself."

Seeing his refusal, Li Ling said nothing more, and ignored King Jin scratching his head and scratching his head anxiously waiting beside him, and continued to have breakfast in a leisurely manner.

King Jin finally waited until Li Ling had finished his breakfast. Before he could ask about when he would attack the city, Li Ling said, "I am going to patrol the camp. Do you want to go with me, Your Majesty?"

King Jin finally couldn't hold back his temper anymore and asked Li Ling, "Didn't my cousin say you'd give me an answer today? Why don't you march quickly? Are you still hiding it from me?"

Li Ling glanced at the anxious King Jin and replied: "It's time to patrol the camp now, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Having said that, Li Ling strode out of the camp without waiting for King Jin's reaction, turned over and mounted his horse, crossed his legs and headed towards the training ground for the soldiers like lightning.

The King of Jin had no choice but to get on his horse and ran out after Li Ling.

The soldiers were practicing. When they saw the marshal coming to inspect, they worked harder. The sun was shining brightly, and the endless training ground was filled with sand and rocks.

Li Ling rode his horse and stood on the coaching platform. After watching the soldiers' drills, he clamped his legs and the horse kicked off the coaching platform and jogged around the training ground.

As a general, Li Ling had to patrol the camp every day. When his soldiers in heavy armor saw Li Ling's figure, the elite troops, like a black tide, let out deafening shouts. The bright weapons in the hands of the soldiers were The swords, guns, swords and halberds shot out a dazzling cold light against the rising sun.

Such a majestic and majestic moment that makes people’s blood boil.

King Jin followed Li Ling closely, and naturally he knew that the loud shouts of the thousands of troops were not directed at him. He raised his eyes and looked at the upright Li Ling who was riding a horse in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a deep feeling in his heart. Feelings of envy.

Li Ling finished his military inspection and rode back to the camp. Yang Guang, the confidant general who was sent out by Li Ling a few days ago, happened to be outside the tent.

Li Ling entered the central military tent, sat down on the main seat, looked at Yang Guang and asked, "Have you brought all the food and grass back?"

Yang Guang stepped forward and clasped his fists at Li Ling and said: "Return to the marshal, not a grain of grain is missing. A total of 2,600 tons of grain and grass were taken back by the general."

Li Ling nodded towards Zhao Guang and replied: "Thank you for your hard work."

Yang Guang was about to retire. The King of Jin, who was sitting down and confused, looked at Li Ling and asked, "Cousin, what's going on? What kind of food and grass? Shouldn't the food and grass for our army be escorted by the Ministry of War? What is going on?" "

Li Ling hated chatting with others. He glanced at King Jin and winked at Yang Guang.

Yang Guang understood and replied to the King of Jin: "To tell you the truth, the grain and grass shipped by the Ministry of War were robbed by the mob on the way. The marshal ordered me to lead people to take the grain and grass back again." The journey to counter the rebellion in the northwest was urgent, and the food and grass brought with the army was only enough for half a month. The rest needed to be continuously transported by the court.

Li Ling had long expected that these treacherous men who only knew how to wield power would play tricks on the transportation of grain and grass, so he ordered Yang Guang to lead his men to ambush him on the way early in the morning. When the imperial officials escorted the grain and grass to the northwest, the princelings spread the news. , these **** officers colluded with the so-called mob, and they wanted to cut off Li Ling's grain road.

Although these fate escorts were from the princelings, they were sent by the imperial court. Naturally, Li Ling would not take the risk of brazenly taking the food directly from their hands. He would simply let the so-called mob take it first, and then he would take it from the mob. Just grab it.

How could these power-players conceal their shameless schemes from Li Ling, who thought they were seamless?

King Jin was not a fool. When he heard this, he stood up immediately, patted the table and said: "What was taken away by the mob? I think it was clearly the **** officers who colluded with the mob. Escorting military rations is such an important matter. Can a few mobs take away the general's food? Humph! Someone must be causing trouble."

King Jin was filled with indignation when he saw Li Ling's expressionless face. He stepped forward, pulled Li Ling, and leaned in front of him and said, "Cousin, I'm sure the prince is behind this. He just wants to kill us both. I Now go back and write a letter of resignation to Emperor Father. As the coach, you should also report this matter to Emperor Father."

Li Ling really didn't like this King Jin, but he couldn't stand his warm way of getting along with others. Li Ling took away King Jin's hand and held his hand. He didn't answer his questions, but faced the soldiers under his tent. He ordered: "Go and recruit all the soldiers to the tent. I have something to announce."

The reason why Li Ling did not attack the city early when he arrived at Fancheng was because he was waiting for food and fodder.

If he starts the battle in a hurry and the food and grass are not supplied in the middle of the battle, then everything will be in vain. Now that the food and grass are in place, it is naturally time to recover the lost city in one go.

After hearing this, King Jin's face immediately lit up with joy. He looked at Li Ling and said, "Cousin, you are finally going to march, aren't you?"

Li Ling glanced at King Jin and replied: "Exactly."



Li Ling glanced at the smiling King Jin and sneered: "Your Majesty has been urging me to send troops. I have decided to attack the city tomorrow. Do you want me to be a vanguard?"

When King Jin heard this, the smile on his face immediately froze. He replied with a sneer: "My cousin is really joking. You have so many powerful generals under your command. How can I be used? Besides, I am the deputy commander-in-chief." You and your cousin should be sitting at the rear and strategizing, there is no reason for the commander-in-chief to be in the vanguard."

Li Ling looked at Zhao Jin coldly. If he was just an ordinary person, Li Ling would not even look at him seriously, but this person was the one the emperor wanted to establish as the crown prince.

Li Ling really couldn't imagine what it would be like if the country of Daqi that millions of soldiers devoted their blood to protect fell into the hands of people like Zhao Jin.

Seeing that Li Ling's expression turned cold, King Jin stepped forward with a smile and said, "Cousin, I'm really not trying to push the envelope. My strength is that I am good at planning, not martial arts. Cousin, please let me."

Before he could finish talking, Li Ling replied coldly: "We cannot call ourselves brothers in the army. Your Majesty, be careful what you say in the future."
