Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 355 The current emperor is Liu, and the sky is also surnamed Liu! (Thanks to Xunlongsha Tietie for the monthly ticket support~)

"Oh?"

A look of suspicion emerged on Zhang Ren's face. Obviously, he did not expect that the enemy soldiers would send him a letter.

He subconsciously thought that this was some evil plot by the enemy.

However, after reading the contents of the letter, his doubts gradually dissipated.

Seeing the thoughtful expression on Zhang Ren's face, Qin Mi asked curiously:

"What did the letter say?"

Zhang Ren handed the letter to Qin Mi and said:
“This letter seems to have come from the hands of a spy planted by Liu Bei’s army in Lu Bu’s army.

"He actually told me where the enemy's gunpowder jars were stored.

"He also said that we could attack the enemy from the small path at Luofeng Slope!

"If we can destroy the enemy's gunpowder jars, it will be difficult for them to capture Luo City!"

When Zhang Ren finished speaking, Qin Mi had almost finished reading the contents of the letter.

He raised his head and met Zhang Ren's inquiring gaze.

Obviously, the other party wanted to get an answer from me as to whether the letter was true or false...

Qin Mi pondered for a long time and said meaningfully:

"The soldiers ambushing at Luofengpo reported that the enemy had no intention of advancing through the Luofengpo trail.

“And the letter also said that Lu Bu already knew the path to Luofeng Slope and saw through the ambush there, so he did not send anyone there.

“This undoubtedly confirms the authenticity of the letter…

“So I think this letter is most likely true!

"Moreover, Liu Bei and our lord are both relatives of the Han Dynasty, and he is also a mortal enemy of Lu Bu. It is not impossible that he can help us secretly!"

Qin Mi's answer was obviously consistent with Zhang Ren's idea.

He looked at the enemy troops busy putting out the fire in the camp, stroked his beard and chuckled:

"The enemy would never have expected that our army would attack them again after being defeated last time!
"Pass on my order, quickly mobilize 5,000 elite soldiers. This time, we must destroy all the enemy's gunpowder cans!"

Qin Mi looked at Zhang Ren who was so excited and quickly pulled him back:
"Wait a minute, General. Where the enemy's gunpowder jar is, it must be heavily guarded.

“At that time, I will lead the army in the city out from the main road to attract the attention of the main force of the enemy.

"General, if you find another opportunity to sneak attack the place where his gunpowder jar is, maybe you can succeed!"

Zhang Ren nodded slightly:

“Although the owner of this letter is willing to be an insider for our army, he may not be willing to expose his whereabouts for us.

"If you, Qin Biejia, are willing to lead the army to attract the enemy's attention, it will greatly increase our chances of winning!

"But you need to be careful and just pretend to fight the enemy.

"There is no need. It is best not to have a head-on confrontation."

Qin Mi understood what Zhang Ren meant and replied seriously:

"General Zhang, rest assured. I know what to do."

Zhang Ren responded.

After spending some time together, he has completely believed in Qin Mi's abilities.

If there had been no help from the other side, I'm afraid the enemy would have already started attacking the city yesterday.

Zhang Ren did not think much about it and quickly led 5,000 troops to quietly enter the path where Luofengpo was located from the west gate...

The fire in Lu Bu's camp was difficult to put out for half a day because of the strong wind.

Fortunately, Lu Bu moved all the flammable items out of the camp in advance, otherwise it would have caused more serious losses.

However, in this battle, nearly nine hundred of the one thousand elite troops led by Zhang Ren were killed, while his own side only lost less than one hundred people.

The most important thing is that this battle has greatly undermined the morale of the enemy army. I think the enemy army will not dare to leave the city easily again.

Lu Bu turned his head and looked at a gentle slope behind him.

There was also a camp there, where his most important strategic materials were stored.

Zhang Liao personally led 10,000 soldiers to defend there. As soon as the sun rose tomorrow, he would let Zhang Ren and his men experience the true power of the gunpowder jar!
Just as Lu Bu was thinking about this, he suddenly heard the sound of Luo City's gate opening!

Lu Bu looked in surprise, only to see that the enemy troops were surging out, with their number reaching as many as 20,000!
Lu Bu's face changed.

Could it be that the enemy is planning to take advantage of this opportunity to engage in a decisive battle with them?
If they didn't have the advantage of the city, they would be at a disadvantage even if they fought outside the city!
But soon, Lu Bu discovered that the enemy was just waving flags and shouting, but not fighting, and he didn't know what the enemy was doing.

Lu Bu couldn't figure out what the enemy's conspiracy was, so he could only dispatch 20,000 troops to confront the enemy in front of the camp.

In addition to the 10,000 troops under Zhang Liao's command, there were another 10,000 troops responsible for firefighting, rebuilding the camp, etc.

At this time, the enemy commander rode out and shouted to Lu Bu's army:

"The enemy general will come out to talk!"

When Lu Bu was about to step out, Lieutenant General Wen Pin stood in front of him and said sternly:

"I don't know what the enemy's plan is. Please let me step out on your behalf!"

Lu Bu nodded earnestly:
"Zhongye should also be careful."

Wen Pin responded and immediately replaced Lu Bu and shouted at Qin Mi, who was dressed as a civil servant:

"Who are you? Tell me your name quickly!"

Qin Mi replied arrogantly:
"Shouldn't you give your own name before asking for someone else's name?"

Wen Pin was not a person with a good temper, and he immediately said sternly:

"You were the one who called me out to talk. If you don't tell me your name, why should I let you know my name?"

Qin Mi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the enemy general to confront him.

After a moment of silence, Qin Mi took a deep breath:

"I am Qin Mi, a famous scholar from Xichuan. Have you ever heard of me?"

"Qin Mi?"

Wen Pin sneered:
"I only care about the reputation of military commanders, I am not interested in weak scholars!
"Have you ever heard of my reputation as Wenpin Wen Zhongye?"

Qin Mi also retorted:

"I only know talented people. How can I know a crude warrior like you?"

Qin Mi's words immediately made Wen Pin furious.

However, when Lu Bu in the back heard Qin Mi's name, he showed a look of surprise.

Wen Pin might not really know Qin Mi's name, but he, Lu Bu, certainly knew it.

A minister and scholar of Shu Han, he was quite talented. He was unwilling to take up a government post during the reigns of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang. Only after Liu Bei occupied Xichuan did he come out to help.

The most famous story about him is naturally his conversation with Zhang Wen, the envoy of Eastern Wu.

Zhang Wen asked: "Does the sky have a head, feet, and a surname?"

Qin Mi not only answered the questions fluently, but his words "The current emperor is Liu, and the sky also has the surname Liu" also amazed everyone!

It was because of this sentence that Lu Bu was quite impressed by this guy.

While he was thinking about this, Qin Mi had already started his usual verbal attack:
"You have raised this unjust army. Won't you be laughed at by the world?"

Wen Pin was so embarrassed by what this guy said that he didn't know how to refute for a moment.

At this moment, Lu Bu rode up to him on his Red Hare, patted Wen Pin on the shoulder, and then clasped his fists toward Qin Mi and said:
"I am Duke Lu Bu of Chu. I have heard of your great name for a long time. After meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed a sharp sword with your tongue. It is amazing!"

Qin Mi looked at the tall and strong man under the moonlight, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

He felt a calmness and composure from the other party that a military general like Wen Pin did not have.

He is not as irritable and capricious as the rumors say...

Qin Mi bowed in return:

"So you are the famous Flying General. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary and heroic.

"But you are raising an unknown army, which is actually damaging your own reputation!

"Why not withdraw as soon as possible to maintain the friendship between the two countries?"
