When General Ao heard this, he quickly asked, "What's your idea?"
Qin Fang squatted down on the spot and said, "General, please look, this is our county town. If the barbarians capture the young master and have the chance to leave, they will definitely leave, right?"
General Ao: "Isn't that bullshit? If there's a chance to leave, I'll leave. Even if there's no chance, I'll find a way to leave. Qin Fang, stop keeping me in suspense. Just say what you want to say."
Qin Fang drew a map on the ground. "After a night like this, the county is already in a state of panic and the barbarians are certainly too.
They won't start a war with us until they get the young master out, because they have no bargaining chips. So the barbarians will definitely get the young master out. Even if they don't act by daybreak, they will act tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or one of them. There are three routes from the county to the barbarian camp. We will strictly check everyone entering and leaving the county gate. After putting pressure on them, they will definitely relax their guard once they leave. Even if they don't, it doesn't matter. We will ambush them along these three routes."
General Ao asked, "If we lay an ambush, what if they kill the young master first?"
Qin Fang said, "The ambush will create pressure on them and then we'll plan our second step. We'll find someone pretending to be one of them. As we get close to them and blend in, we'll quickly eliminate the person holding the young master hostage. Once the young master is free, we'll eliminate them. They're under pressure now and if someone shows up, there's a 50% chance they'll trust the other side. General, what do you think?"
General Ao swallowed his saliva. He was good at fighting and would rush to the front line, but he was not good at battle planning. "I will leave the county now and discuss this matter with the prince. After all..."
Qin Fang nodded solemnly: "I know."
The life of the young master must be approved by the father of the prince, because their plan is also risky. But if you don't take risks, the little boy is also very dangerous in the hands of the other party.
General Ao asked again: "If it is according to your plan, in the second step of the plan, do you have a choice for the person who is close to the barbarian? After all... If it does not succeed, the life of the person who is close to the barbarian will also be in danger."
Since Qin Fang proposed this plan, he naturally had a candidate: "Would you like to give it a try, general?"
General Ao immediately said: "I will count one, you will count yourself too?" He suspected that since Qin Fang had proposed a plan, he would definitely go with him and he still trusted Qin Fang's kung fu.
Qin Fang nodded: "Yes, I count myself as one and I plan to find Han Zhen for the third person. Although I won him that game, I know his ability and it is lucky for me to win."
General Ao thought for a while: "Well then, you go out to the county to find the prince. You tell the prince about this plan. If the prince agrees, you have to find Han Zhen."
General Ao thought it would be better for Qin Fang to go out and talk about it. After all, the whole plans are all guided by Qin Fang and he is the most suitable for explanation.
Qin Fang: "Yes."
After Qin Fang left the county, he went straight to the military camp and even passed by the family quarters without going in. After leaving the military camp, he went straight to find the prince. When the prince saw him, he thought they found his son and asked hurriedly: "Did you find my son?"
Qin Fang shook his head: "No."
The prince was disappointed, but he also knew that this matter was not that easy: "So what are you doing here?"
Qin Fang directly put forward his plan: "...Do you think it's feasible?"
The prince pondered for a moment and agreed to Qin Fang's plan. He was in a state of confusion and could not think of a better solution.
If the county gates were not opened and those people were locked inside, his son might be in even greater danger in a few days. "You go and make the arrangements."
Qin Fang: "Yes."
Qin Fang come out in the prince's tent and went directly to find Han Zhen and others. He called Han Zhen, Lu Baifu, Yang Baifu and others. Then asked them to form three teams of 300 people to ambush the road and made a plan for the second step.
Once everything was arranged, it was just a matter of waiting for the next day.
The next day, the city gates opened.
There were still five barbarians who sneaked into the county town and successfully kidnapped the young master.
A secret place.
"Boss, the door of the county town is open, we can go."
Manzi Boss: "We won't leave today, the group of Qiguo soldiers opened the city gate at this time, maybe there is some plan waiting for us, we don't go out, let them be disappointed day by day, after disappointment, we can relax.
When this little bastard arrives at our military camp, I will see if the prince will not surrender. If not, we will kill his son." The tone was murderous.
"The Yong family has been fighting with us for decades. That old man is a tough guy. Boss, do you think the prince will attack our barracks in a fit of rage."
The boss sneered coldly: "The young son is in our hands, he doesn't dare to attack, if he attacks, we will kill his young son directly, he doesn't dare to bet."
In fact, this barbarian boss is not bad, the less they show up, the more relaxed the guards at the city gate will be, because they are also impatient, and once they relax, they will have a chance to leave.
After three days, didn't they leave safely?
When the guards saw that there were no suspects leaving with their children day by day, they were indeed starting to relax. In this slack, the barbarian took the young master out of the city.
After they left the city, they were relieved to find that no one followed.
The boss in the group said, "Quick, get out of here immediately. After you leave, find a place to hide, and then go on your way at night."
"yes."
There were three routes out of the county town and out of the border, so just in case, after nightfall, they took the nearest route. Because the nearest route was the fastest, they thought that even if someone caught them, they would be able to escape the border area as quickly as possible.
But they didn't know that there were ambushes on all three roads. No matter whether it was day or night, the soldiers of Qi State were waiting for them day and night.
When they were halfway through their night journey, the boss suddenly said, "Wait a minute. What? Come out."
Hundreds of soldiers emerged from the darkness, torches in hand, and surrounded them. The leading soldier said, "Hand over the young master, and we'll spare your lives. Otherwise, if anything happens to the young master, you'll be dead."
They decided not to act for the time being, but to put pressure on the other side.
Barbarian: "Bah! If you dare to come over here, I will kill him." He held the unconscious young man horizontally in front of him, "Let's see whose knife is faster."
So, they fought back and forth for a while. Just when the situation was about to get out of hand, several horses approached from afar. The people on the horses caught Manzi's eye. Although it was night and the torchlight made it difficult to see clearly, they were wearing the clothes of his tribe, so Manzi subconsciously thought they were the people coming to meet the enemy.
Manzi laughed heartily, "I guess they are getting impatient." Then he looked proudly at the Qi soldiers, "Our people are here, we are not afraid of you, everyone charge."
The five people led the young master forward. Because the horses in front were occupied by people, they did not suspect anything.
The Barbarian Boss said: "Third Brother, take this kid and charge over. We will stop these Qi soldiers."
The third Barbarian: "Yes, Boss, be careful." He then carried the young master and fled to the horse's side under the protection of the Barbarian Boss.
He was about to say something when the rider on the horse reached out and grabbed the young master. He didn't think much about it, thinking it would be more convenient to hand the kid over to the other party. So he let go and said, "You take the kid away, I'll go meet the Boss."
Han Zhen hugged the young master directly and smiled coldly: "Accept? Come and take them all down."
After speaking, he touched his face and his dirty face was immediately cleaned up a lot. Before, his face was dirty with mud and sand, just for fear of being recognized. Moreover, it has been a lot of wind and sand in the past few months, and no one will suspect that the face is dirty. Does the barbarian really think the hundreds of people here can't surround them? Let them break through the siege to their side? It's just acting.
Han Zhen hugged the young master and pulled the reins back a few steps. He didn't expect things to be more successful than he imagined. Fortunately, the barbarian didn't doubt him and gave him the child directly. He had to say, Qin Fang's plan is really good. . Tactics arranged by using the pressure of the barbarians.
Han Zhen shouted loudly: "Brothers, take down these barbarians and I will invite everyone to a drink another day."
"Take them."
Everyone rushed up. Han Zhen and the others have 100 people and the other party has only 5 people. Naturally, they are not their opponents. Although they are still insisting, there is no other possibility.
At this time, Qin Fang and General Ao also arrived with them. Of the three paths, the one guarded by Han Zhen was chosen. In the battle just now, Han Zhen gave them a signal long ago and when they saw the signal, the two teams came over.
General Ao saw the little son in Han Zhen's arms and eagerly said, "How is it? Is the child okay?"
Qin Fang gave the child to General Ao: "It should be in a coma, it should be fine."
Qin Fang reminded: "The general will send the young master to the military camp first and let the military doctor check it. Here, Han Zhen and I will take care of the aftermath."
General Ao: "Okay."
General Ao carried the young master in his arms and rode back to the military camp at full speed.
The Marquis's son had barely slept in the past few days, prepared to sacrifice his son. If the barbarians took his son to battle, as a general of Qi, he would have no other choice. Between country and child, he would choose country. Even if he died in battle, even if this was his only son, he had to defend Yongzhou to the very end.
"Prince...Prince..." General Ao's loud voice echoed from fifty meters away. In the blink of an eye, he had already ridden his horse to the gate of the military camp. He jumped off his horse and ran quickly to the prince. "Prince, the young master has been rescued."
The Yonghe Marquis's son took his son with trembling hands: "He..."
General Ao explained: "He must be unconscious. Please ask the military doctor to check him out immediately."
The Yonghe Marquis' son carried his son to the main tent. "Quick, call the military doctor..."
He then instructed the servant beside him, "Go back to the Marquis' Mansion and tell my wife that the young master is fine."
"yes."
After checking the young master in the military camp, they found that he was just unconscious. He was a little weak because he had not eaten much in the past few days, so he needed to take good care of his stomach.
After hearing this, the Prince of Yonghe breathed a sigh of relief and asked General Ao about what had happened.
A quarter of an hour later, Qin Fang and Han Zhen both came back. Some of the five barbarians were killed, while others were captured alive.
An hour later, the Yonghe Marquis's son personally chopped off the barbarian's head and hung it outside the barracks. When two armies engage in battle, they should either fight openly or squarely; such underhanded tactics are most disdainful.
After hanging the barbarian's head, the Yonghe Marquis's son finally vented his anger. He invited General Ao, Qin Fang and Han Zhen into his tent and personally poured them three cups of tea. "I'm deeply grateful for your kindness today. I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
Alcohol was forbidden in the barracks, so the Yonghe Marquis' son offered tea instead of wine. "The Spring Festival is in two days, so I'll give you a few days off. On the third day of the first lunar month, the prince will host a banquet for the three of you at the marquis' residence."
"Yes."
The three of them had just been out of the tent and they ran into Mrs. Shizi who rushed over, and the three hurriedly avoided it.
As soon as the prince's wife entered the tent, she grabbed the prince and asked, "Where is the son? How is my son?"
The prince helped her around the screen and the child slept inside: "Don't worry, the military doctor saw that the child was in a coma and now he is asleep.
The kitchen has already cooked porridge, and he can eat it when he wakes up. The military doctor said that he haven't eaten a few meals, so he can't eat a lot for the time being, I can only drink some porridge to nourish my stomach."
Madam Shizi(wife of the prince yonghe) was nervous just now, but now she gradually calmed down when she saw her son's sleeping face. She has been living at the border with the prince, and naturally she is more courageous than ordinary women, so she calms down quickly. "It's okay, it's okay."
Shizi said: "You haven't rested well these days and you're exhausted. Why don't you sleep next to the child."
While Mrs. Shizi was relieved, she was indeed tired. She nodded: "Well, listen to you. By the way, how did the child get rescued? Where did it come from?"
When asked about this, the prince did not hide it and told him Qin Fang's battle plan and Han Zhen's rescue. The prince's wife was terrified when she heard it: "This time, it's all thanks to Qin Qianfu, it's really thanks to him."
The prince said: "I have invited these three families to come to my house as guests on the third day of the New Year. You must entertain them well then."
The Prince of Yonghe's wife said: "Of course. Don't worry."
…
Qin Fang, Han Zhen and others returned to the family quarters and everyone went back to their respective homes.
Bang, bang, bang...
Late at night, someone knocked on the door. Huang Huzi opened the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"I."
Huang Huzi heard Qin Fang's voice and quickly opened the door: "Are you back, sir?"
Qin Fang hummed: "How is things at home?"
Huang Huzi: "Everything is fine. Mrs. Han Baifu is also at our house."
Qin Fang was stunned: "You go to Han Baifu's house and meet him. He has also returned. If he sees that there is no one at home, he will definitely be worried."
Huang Huzi: "Yes." He hurried out.
Kun Shi also woke up, came out to see Qin Fang and said, "Master, you must be tired these past few days. Give me the horse and you can go and rest first."
Qin Fang nodded: "Yeah."
The second courtyard was quite large and noises from the front courtyard might not be heard in the inner courtyard. Qin Fang waited until he reached the main courtyard and saw that the gate was closed before he knocked. The gatekeeper was Aunt Yu, a light sleeper who woke up at the first sound of the noise, worried that something bad had happened.
Seeing it was Qin Fang, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Master is back." Besides Aunt Lian, Aunt Yu also slept in the main courtyard and usually guarded the gate.
Qin Fang nodded.
Yang Haiyan and Mother Lian also got up when they heard the movement. Yang Haiyan rushed out the door and saw Qin Fang coming over before she reached the door. She couldn't help but say, "You're finally back." If he didn't comeback, she was really worried about him, because she was afraid that he would have an accident.
Qin Fang hugged her, smelled the aroma on her body and said with a tired expression: "I'm back, I haven't slept for a few days."
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she said distressedly, "Are you hungry? Eat something first?"
Qin Fang said: "Okay, I'll take a bath first."
Yang Haiyan: "Aunt Yu, make a hot water for the Lord."
Qin Fang: "No, just use cold water. I'm used to cold water and I used to take cold water baths in previous years."
Yang Haiyan insisted: "That's not good. On regular days, you can just use cold water. But today, you are so tired and you will catch cold if you use cold water. You have to listen to me, or I won't let you go to bed."
Qin Fang was helpless, but also felt warm in his heart. Aunt Yu went to prepare water and Yang Haiyan asked him to rest for a while on the foot of the house. Mother Lian listened to the movement and had already called Aunt Fan to prepare noodles. This evening, noodles are the fastest.
Qin Fang just closed his eyes on the couch, but fell asleep immediately. Yang Haiyan hurriedly took the quilt and covered him, and after a while, she heard his snoring. This man who usually doesn't snore is really exhausted this time. He hasn't closed his eyes for a few days, can he not be tired?
