Chapter 152 Prelude
"This..." General Chen Jiajun present had never thought about this problem.

Some of them were born in Hebei, but they were rescued by Chen Jiazhuang and returned to Guangzhou in the early days of the military disaster, and none of them had experienced such a thing.As for people born in Guangzhou, many have never even heard of it.

During this time, the dragon cavalry was roaming in Kaifeng. The people of Kaifeng were indeed miserable, but they did not reach the point of "exchanging children and eating".

"How about we let the golden man go back?" A commander cautiously suggested.

Chen Xun wanted to scold him, but he was worried that it would dampen everyone's enthusiasm for speaking, so he held back his anger and yelled: "Absolutely not, don't even think about it."

It is extremely rare that this war has reached such a good situation today.

How could it be possible to just give up and give up.

"If the Jinmen reach Hebei and we want to invade along the way, we will lose the advantage of convenient supply. We must not do it." Chen Xun added an explanation to avoid making everyone feel arbitrary.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Chen Zhuang, who was standing behind Chen Xun, suddenly said:
"We have sent so much money, food and horses in front of us. Shouldn't it be time for the other Qin Wangjun to contribute?"

"That's right! We are not fighting alone!" Sun Zheng slapped his thigh and said in surprise.

"Will they obey our command?" Lai Qingyun asked.

Chen Xun was also enlightened by Chen Zhuang's words at this time: "It's not important, as long as you let them see the benefits, they will naturally pounce on you."

It's like a cat that smells fish and tries to get it.

"What's the benefit?" Lai Qingyun asked.

"Opportunity to regain Fengqiu and even Kaifeng." Chen Xun replied.

Seeing that everyone still looked confused, Chen Xun continued to explain: "Use us as bait, the Jinmen will come out for a decisive battle, and then let King Qin's army sneak attack Kaifeng and Fengqiu City from behind."

"Yes, the Jin people must hate us to the core. This method is feasible." Lai Qingyun praised.

"But, are we acting as bait? How can we ensure that we escape unscathed?" Sun Zheng asked.

"I couldn't guarantee it before, but it's different now that we have one thousand more musketeers. There are [-] musketeers, and everyone has a horse. If we want to break through, which army in this world can stop it?" Chen Xun asked rhetorically.

"Why didn't I expect that we have horses, [-] musketeers, Miao Dao camp, and Ma Jun camp. Who can stop us from breaking through?" Sun Zheng finally realized that the dragoons had been attacked two days ago. The combat power has been greatly improved.

Quantitative change has caused qualitative change.

"Okay, let's start formulating a battle plan."

……

At dawn on April [-]th, Chen Xun received information that the Jin people in Kaifeng would transport grain to Fengqiu today.

After getting acquainted with the new flintlock guns for a few days, the three newly formed musket battalions have been fully formed.

The liaison work arranged two days ago also received responses one after another in the past two days.

King Qin's soldiers in the five cities were basically all present. As soon as the Jin soldiers from Fengqiu City left the city, they would attack Fengqiu City from behind. However, they asked Chen Jiajun to send ships to cooperate and transport them across the main channel of the Yellow River and the forks of the Yellow River.

Chen Xun naturally readily agreed to this request.

King Qin's army in Zhengzhou has not reached an alliance with Chen Jiajun, so their attitude is somewhat ambiguous. However, judging from the detection results of Kaifeng intelligence personnel, they are also making preparations. It is estimated that they are not letting the eagle see the rabbit.

As long as they see hope, Chen Xun is [-]% sure that they will take action.

As for Yingchang Mansion in the southwest, Chenzhou in the south, and Yingtian Mansion in the east, the attitude is much more negative.Most of them replied to Chen Jiajun: "Without an order from the Privy Council, they dare not make any independent decisions for fear of damaging the life of the Supreme Emperor."

In other words, they were worried that if King Qin's army backstabbed Kaifeng City, the Jin people would become angry and kill Zhao Ji.

Chen Xun sneered in his heart. Cowardly people can always find many excuses for themselves. It is estimated that King Qin's army in these three directions cannot be counted on.

However, a dead horse is a living doctor. Before going out to the army, Chen Xun still released snow pigeons to the three states and sent intelligence about the start of the operation. As for whether they would participate, it was up to them.

……

Erlangmiao Village.

Before the Jin people invaded the south, the Erlang Temple in this village was very famous within a few dozen miles. Even the citizens of Kaifeng would come here to burn incense, and the incense was always very popular.

Now there are only a few old, weak and hungry people left in this temple, and the young and strong have wandered away to seek survival.

Chen Xun gave these hungry people some food, cleared them out of Erlangmiao Village, and told them to go northeast, where there would be a way to survive, so as not to stay here and be affected by the war later.

"Where are the Jin soldiers?" Chen Xun asked.

"The speed of the ox cart is too slow. They are still fifteen miles away from here, but the Jin people's scouting horses have already touched here, and they were all left behind by the horse army camp." Sun Zheng replied.

It only took Chen Jiajun more than half an hour to get here from his previous station. It took him only half an hour from getting ready at dawn, to setting off, rushing, and arriving. It's only half the time now.

"Prepare lunch. It is estimated that the battle will take place in the future." Chen Xun arranged: "Continue to expand the intelligence cover area. We cannot allow the Jin people to extrapolate to our stopping place through the intelligence cover area."

"Yes!" Sun Zheng replied.

For the Jin people, people can be sent to investigate the entire Kaifeng, because as long as they know where the exploration horse is missing, it can mean that Chen Jiajun is in this area.

It was through this method that the Jin people were able to infer that Chen Jiajun had set up this conspiracy in the northeast of Kaifeng.

I am sure that this is a conspiracy because Pei Ren has investigated clearly in Kaifeng City in the past two days. While the Jin soldiers in Kaifeng are sending out grain transport teams, the Jin soldiers in the city are also preparing to go out.

Based on this alone, Chen Xun could confirm that this "opportunity" was a trap set by Jin Ren.

To cook in a pot, rice, dried vegetables, dried meat, seasonings, and a lot of miscellaneous ingredients are gathered together to cook dry rice in one pot.It looks quite unsightly, but it tastes okay.

The seasoning has been carefully prepared over the years, which can enhance the taste of the big pot rice to the extreme.

After the dried vegetables and dried meat are cooked, they are not only filling but also taste good.

Rice invades vegetable soup and broth, and tastes fragrant, soft and glutinous.

Generally speaking, it is similar to the "Korean bibimbap" of later generations. The only difference is that the vegetables are not fresh enough.

After eating three large bowls of rice and drinking a large bowl of vegetable soup, Chen Xun felt that his stomach was very full.

Chen Xun will definitely need to make a sharp knife breakout soon, and he must ensure that his physical strength reaches its peak before the battle.

"Captain, the latest information is that King Qin's army in the five cities of Hebei has moved and started to cross the Yellow River. Miao Fu's army in Xuzhou City has also left the city." The spy came over to report.

"Fu Miao is quite courageous." Chen Xun praised.

Miao Fu, a native of Longde Mansion on Hedong Road (Changzhi, Shanxi), had been serving in the army in Hebei Province for more than ten years. After the Jin people surrounded Kaifeng, he was sent by his superior to serve as King Qin. He was considered the highest-ranking official in Zhengzhou City. Song Jiang
