Chapter 641 Chapter 659: Difficult to tell the truth
Lu Qing is just a master craftsman, so naturally he doesn't know about the art of war. What Fan Lihua said, "the imaginary is the real, and the real is the false", he doesn't understand even more, and Fan Lihua doesn't expect him to understand, she just needs Lu Qing to follow It is enough to do everything according to your own requirements.

After Lu Qing left, Fan Lihua stood alone in the tooth tent, whispering in her mouth: "Today is June 27, tomorrow is 28, the day after tomorrow is 29, the day after tomorrow is 30, I have been in Western Turkic for [-] years, June [-] The number of times it rains out of ten does not exceed eight times, this time... it depends on whether God will help me or not."

After Lu Qing left, he took people to start setting off Kongming lanterns. A total of [-] Kongming lanterns floated out of the Tang army camp and slowly lifted into the sky. Tang Jun in the camp was amazed because they were so beautiful. I have seen such a wonderful picture, the lanterns can actually fly in the sky, and there are so many lanterns, like a sky full of stars, and they are still very big.

Since it was summer and the east wind was blowing slowly, the Kongming Lanterns were blown slowly to the west. Lu Qing had calculated the position in advance, and most of these Kongming Lanterns were floating towards the royal court.

There were so many Kongming lanterns in the sky, the guard posts of the Western Turks naturally found out, thinking it was a night attack by the Tang army, they were all taken aback, and hurriedly blew their horns, and someone rushed to inform Yang Fan that there was chaos in the royal court.

After Yang Fan received the news, he put on his armor and quickly came to the top of the city. At this moment, the Kongming lanterns are still four miles away from the royal court. Husband.

After Yang Fan glanced at it, he frowned and said, "Is it the Kongming Lantern?"

He is still very knowledgeable, knowing that these are Kongming lanterns, unlike those Western Turkic soldiers, some people actually said it was a will-o'-the-wisp and frightened themselves.

Yang Fan immediately sent the whole army to be on guard in case of fraud. There were more than 2 troops in the city waiting in full force, and everyone was very nervous.

Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes just watched Kongming Lanterns drifting slowly, reaching the sky above the royal court, and then drifting westward. For a full hour, all the Kongming Lanterns disappeared without a trace, and no abnormal movement was found. A little confused, what kind of trouble is Tang Jun going to do?

Yang Fan was also puzzled. Why did Tang Jun suddenly release so many hole lanterns? In his impression, the only function of hole lanterns was to convey signals at night, and it was not enough to attack and siege the city. Tang Jun wanted to To whom to convey the signal?
Yang Fan couldn't understand it, and others couldn't understand it. Tonight, Wangting City was very lively, and Ashina Helu in the palace was alarmed. Ashina Helu was originally anxious because of anxiety He didn't sleep well. He was woken up just after falling asleep. He heard that Tang Jun set off hundreds of flying will-o'-the-wisps and passed over the royal court. He was very worried and immediately ordered Yang Fan to come to the palace to meet him. , he wants to find out for himself.

After Yang Fan received Ashina Helu's call, he entered the palace overnight to meet Ashina Helu. Now Yang Fan is in charge of all the military power in the royal court, and he is very majestic. It can be said that the life and death of Western Turks now depends on him alone. body.

After seeing Ashina Helu, Yang Fan saluted: "Yang Fan pays homage to Sabolo Khan!"

"Excuse me!" Ashina Helu waved his hands irritably, and asked anxiously, "Yang Fan, I heard that the Tang army set off many flying will-o'-the-wisps, passing through the sky above the royal court, and I went out to see them just now. It was very scary. what's going on?"

"Back to Khan." Yang Fan said calmly, "Don't worry Khan, it's just a Kongming lantern."

"Kong Ming Lantern? What is that?"

Yang Fan explained: "The Kongming Lantern was created by a man named Zhuge Liang at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It's not uncommon, but this time the Kongming Lanterns released by Tang Jun are a little big and a little too many."

"Oh? A flying lamp?" Ashina Helu had never heard of such a magical thing, and asked with a frown, "Then what is the use of this lamp?"

Yang Fan said: "Back to Khan, Zhuge Liang first created this lamp to facilitate the army to convey messages at night. A larger Kongming lantern flies into the air and can be seen from more than 20 miles away. It is very convenient to convey messages at night. .”

"Send a message?" Ashina Helu was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked in surprise, "Who is Tang Jun planning to send a message to? Could it be that they still have reinforcements?"

"Khan is worrying too much." Yang Fan said confidently, "It is impossible for the Tang army to have reinforcements. This expedition to the west is a big burden for the Tang army. It is very important for them to march and transport the heavy supplies and the army's food and grass. Heavy burden, the reason Li Shimin only sent [-] troops to attack our Western Turks is to reduce consumption, and they will not have reinforcements because they are more expensive than expensive."

"Then this Kongming lantern..." Ashina Helu was still very worried.

Yang Fan rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of a possibility, so he said it, and said slowly: "Khan, maybe this is the strategy of the Tang army to disturb the army. This trouble tonight, everyone in my city will be scared." Rest in peace, tomorrow will be difficult, if the general's predictions are correct, Tang Jun will still light up Kongming lanterns tomorrow night."

"Oh?" Ashina Helu asked suspiciously after hearing the words, "Is this really true?"

Yang Fan saluted and said: "Khan, this is just the general's guess. If the Tang army releases the Kongming lanterns tomorrow, it will verify the general's guess."

"Okay." Ashina Helu finally stopped being entangled, and warned, "Well, you have to be careful tomorrow night. Before verifying your guess, don't be careless. Once it proves that Tang Jun's purpose is to harass, immediately let Tang Jun Soldiers, rest well, and don't let the army get tired, so that the Tang army can take advantage of it!"

"Yes, I will understand in the end!"

The next day, on the evening of June 28, Tang Jun released another [-] Kongming Lanterns. Yang Fan and the army stood at the top of the city to watch.

On the third day, June 29, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it seemed that there was going to be rain. It was originally the end of the month, and the moonlight was dim, but now there were dark clouds again, and the whole night sky was pitch black.

Fan Lihua went outside the tooth tent to look at the night sky, frowned, and said slowly: "It may rain tomorrow, plan in advance, and Xue Yinglong and Lu Qing will come to see me!"

Soon, Xue Yinglong and Lu Qing came, and Fan Lihua asked Lu Qing: "Mr. Lu, how many hot air balloons have you made?"

Lu Qingdao: "Back to Chief Manager, the [-]th one was just finished in the evening, and I'm going to report to you tomorrow morning."

"Excellent!" Fan Lihua patted the table and said happily, "Tonight we are going to raid the royal court, Xue Yinglong, you go back to the camp immediately and choose [-] elite warriors to be the vanguard, and they will fly over the royal court in a hot air balloon to help with ropes Next, when they enter the royal court, their mission is to open the north gate of the royal court, because the southeast and south gates of the royal court have been sealed, only the north gate and west gate are not sealed. !"

"Yes!" Xue Yinglong accepted the order excitedly. He had seen the experiment of hot air balloons, and that big thing could really fly.

Fan Lihua then said: "Lu Qing, you will negotiate with Xue Yinglong later, and quickly teach all the warriors selected by Xue Yinglong all the operations of the hot air balloon. Remember, you must be quick. We don't have much time. If it rains tomorrow, we will There will be no more chance."

"Yes!" Lu Qing also shouted his orders.

Fan Lihua warned: "While releasing the hot air balloon, release [-] Kongming lanterns, so that it is hard to distinguish the true from the false, and unpredictable from the true to the false. The success or failure of this military expedition, and the success or failure of this campaign, all depend on you. There are two."

"A lowly position will not disgrace one's life!" The two clasped their fists together.

Fan Lihua waved her hand and said, "Okay, hurry up and get ready, Fan Shui, let the marching chiefs from all walks of life come to see me in the tooth tent!"

"Yes!" Fan Shui went to deliver the order.

Xue Yinglong and Lu Qing both left, not long after, all the marching officers came to Fan Lihua's tooth tent, Fan Lihua asked them to sit down, and then said with a deep face: "Tell everyone a good news, a bad news, The good news is that our chief executive will attack the royal court tonight, the plan is very simple, Xue Yinglong will lead 800 people to fly into the royal court in a hot air balloon, capture the north gate of the royal court, and then cooperate with us inside and out to capture the royal court."

Everyone nodded after hearing the words. This method is indeed feasible. Although it is a bit risky, it is like gambling. The bigger the bet, the more you win. Once the bet wins, Zhengxi will be considered a complete victory.

Fan Lihua immediately said: "The bad news is that our food and grass are only enough for two days. If this night attack fails, we may suffer a catastrophe. The chief executive, everyone here and all the soldiers will be killed." Buried in Sanmi Mountain."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words
