Tin Aino looked at Yang Fan blankly and asked, "What is it? What idea did you come up with?"
Yang Fan slapped his forehead and said, "You see, I got too carried away. I mean …"
Yang Fan just said this when his eyes slid down and he suddenly got a little carried away.
Tin Aino was only wearing a small dress, a moon white dress. There were two perfectly round bulges on her chest. The shape was beautiful and moderate, just like a pair of jade melons. Her collar was loose, and Yang Fan was a head taller than her as he stood at the door, looking down at her. His gaze was filled with a gentle ravine.
Tin Aino stood with her back to the light, so she couldn't see it very clearly. But the faint curves and ravines between the light and darkness revealed a different kind of amorous feeling in the immaturity. Yang Fan couldn't help but be moved.
Tin Aino didn't notice that her appearance was exposed at the moment. She still asked in a daze, "What is it?"
Yang Fan's throat made a swallowing motion and he stuttered, "I … uh …"
"Ah!"
Tin Aino suddenly reacted. When she looked down and saw her appearance, she quickly turned around in embarrassment and tightened her collar.
Yang Fan held the door and still stood there in a daze. Tin Aino's cheeks were hot. She stamped her feet in embarrassment and said, "Get out!"
"Oh! Oh, oh! "
Yang Fan hurriedly retreated and closed the door with a bang. When the door was closed, he saw the beautiful figure of a young girl standing with her back to him. Her loose pants accentuated her round figure that was like the bright moon.
When Tin Aino heard the door close, she couldn't help but sigh in relief and feel proud.
She hurriedly put on her robe and walked to the door again. After being bashful for a while, she opened the door. Yang Fan was still standing at the door. When he saw her appear, he grinned awkwardly. It could be considered a smile.
In the past, when Yang Fan was in love with her, he would often take advantage of her verbally. He would even feel complacent in his heart, which was a common problem for men. But now that he knew that the girl really liked him, and he couldn't give her the promise she wanted, Yang Fan was a little timid.
Tin Aino blushed and said, "Come in!"
Yang Fan followed behind Tin Aino and entered the room awkwardly. For a moment, he felt a little unnatural.
After a moment of silence, Tin Aino cleared his throat and said, "What did you say just now? What did you think of?"
Yang Fan hurriedly said, "Oh! It's like this. I'm thinking that with the one hundred thousand Turkic soldiers at the gates, even if reinforcements from Liangzhou arrive and divide the two fortresses of Mingwei to defend them, they might not be able to increase their strength by much and might not necessarily be able to hold the fort. After all, even though Liangzhou is under the jurisdiction of the prefectures, it is not a frontier fortress and there aren't many soldiers there to begin with. They still need to keep a portion of their men to guard against the Tubo invading their heartland, so they won't be able to send many reinforcements. "
Tin Aino looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Yang Fan touched his chin, which has been shaved with a small knife. Because it is not a specialized knife, it is not very smooth and there are some hard stubble. Yang Fan explained, "I am thinking about what General Ye Zhonglang told me during the day. The attacking Turkic army is made up entirely of cavalry. Using General Ye Zhonglang's words, they come like arrows and leave like a broken bowstring. If they want to fight, they can fight and if they want to leave, they can leave.
Therefore, whether to fight or not depends on the Turkic army. Whether we can win or not depends on the contest between the two sides. And this contest, for the Turkic army, is a question of whether they can win or not. What about us? There is only one choice, and that is: If the enemy wants to attack, we must hold them off! "
Yang Fan heaved a sigh of relief, "Both sides have their own soldiers, so we have no choice but to make this choice. But I suddenly recalled that in the past, when the Turkic army attacked, we could only passively counterattack. In the future, when the Turkic army attacks, we may still have to counterattack. But this time, it is not impossible for us to take the initiative to attack! "
Tin Aino's interest was piqued and she asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Yang Fan's hand gently slid up from under his chin, caressing his cheeks and touching his eyebrows, revealing a strange smile.
Tin Aino's delicate body trembled and she exclaimed, "You can't be thinking of …"
Yang Fan winked at her and said with a sly smile, "Why not?"
Tin Aino slowly calmed down and asked in a low voice, "What … do you intend to do?"
Shaking his head, Yang Fan replied, "Honestly speaking, I have not decided yet. What I have thought of is that I can make use of my looks. Mu Si became the commander-in-chief of the Turkic army, and I happen to look exactly like him, so I can make use of this. As for how to make use of this, it is not something that I can decide after thinking about it. This requires General Ye Zhong's approval and cooperation. "
Tin Aino softly said, "An army of one hundred thousand is at the gates, and you want to pretend to be Mu Si? This is too risky."
Yang Fan replied, "When I was at Xueyantuo City, I was in their lair, and it was a hundred times more dangerous than now!"
Tin Aino softly sighed, rebuking, "Oh you, must you really take such a risk?"
Yang Fan solemnly replied, "I am a soldier, not a commoner on the streets preparing to flee for their lives. Many of my comrades have already died on the road to the west. Since I have the ability, shouldn't I avenge them? I am a man, and a man should make contributions. There is clearly such a good opportunity, so why should I give it up?
Could it be that charging on the battlefield is not dangerous? I am a subject of the Tang dynasty, and I still have to live in the Tang dynasty. Not only do I have to live here, my children and grandchildren also have to live here. Today, I have a chance to strike at the wolves of the steppe, but if I only play it safe, won't the retribution of the butcher's knife be inflicted on my children and grandchildren in the future? "
The world was now called the Great Zhou, but whether it was the subjects who did not recognize Grandma Li as the ruler or the commoners in the remote areas who did not have strict discipline, they still habitually referred to their country as the Tang dynasty. As a palace guard, Yang Fan should have paid attention to this point, but he had no such misgivings in front of Tin Aino.
When Tin Aino heard him mention children and grandchildren, he very sensitively thought of himself.
Could his children and grandchildren also be his children and grandchildren?
To marry with him, to marry with him, to have children with him, to grow old together with him …
When he thought of these things, Tin Aino's heart became intoxicated.
She shyly retracted her brows and softly replied, "Okay, since you want to do it, I will listen to you!"
Neither of them noticed that Tin Aino's attitude was becoming more and more like a wife following her husband's song.
… …
The next morning, Ye Yunbao sent four soldiers to the courier station to find Yang Fan to escort him and Tin Aino to Liangzhou, but Yang Fan went with them to the top of the city walls.
Ye Yunbao was busy on the top of the city walls. In a place like this, one could not lower his voice. At one moment, he was loudly questioning the scouts who had been sent out to scout out the Turks, and at another moment, he was pointing at the auxiliary soldiers reinforcing the city walls and yelling a few words. Several generals and deputy generals were following behind him, running around in circles under his orders.
"Mm? Why haven't you left yet? "
Ye Yunbao turned his head to look at Yang Fan and couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Yang Fan cupped his fists and said, "Palace Commander, this one suddenly thought of a plan last night that might be of some help in our counterattack against the Turkic army."
"Oh? What plan did you think of? "
Ye Yunbao's eyes instantly brightened. He had already asked the commanding general of Flying Fox about the entire retreat process and was filled with admiration for Yang Fan's ability to have someone replace Xu Yisheng in commanding the army with a ventriloquist to stabilize the morale of the army. Not even he would have been able to do such a thing, so Ye Yunbao did not dare to treat this person's plan lightly.
Ye Yunbao was rather thirsty after yelling for so long, so he invited Yang Fan into the tower. After drinking some water, he sat down and said to Yang Fan, "There's no need for so many rules. Sit down and talk. What plan do you have?"
Yang Fan said to Ye Yunbao, "Yesterday, when we were talking about our encounter at Xue Yantuo City, this one said that this one and Musi's son, Musi, are extremely similar in appearance. Even though we're close relatives, it's difficult to tell them apart!"
Ye Yunbao's eyes brightened as he leaned forward. "What is it?"
Yang Fan said, "The two armies of the Turks have three commanders, and one of them is Musi."
Ye Yunbao hurriedly nodded. "That's right! You want to use this identity again? "
Yang Fan said, "I pretended to be Musi in the Turks to persuade the tribes and even participated in their conference. These matters might not have been brought up on the march, but once they return, they'll notice sooner or later. At that time, I won't be able to use this identity. But it's different now. Doesn't Palace Commander think … that we can use my appearance as an excuse? If someone pretends to be Musi … "
Ye Yunbao excitedly asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Yang Fan spread his hands and said, "Palace Commander, I need to get your approval first. If you agree, then we can discuss it in detail. After all, how to deploy the troops, the surrounding geographical situation, and many other aspects, General, you are the one who knows them like the back of your hand!"
Ye Yunbao froze. "So you still haven't thought of a concrete plan."
Yang Fan said, "I feel that if we plan carefully, we can make use of this point."
"Oh …"
Ye Yunbao slowly began to pace around the tent. After some thought, he suddenly stopped and said to Yang Fan, "The Ashina tribe and the Ashina tribe just had a conflict at Xue Yantuo. The Ashina tribe even set up an ambush to kill Musi, killing many of his soldiers. Is that correct?"
Yang Fan replied, "Correct! If Moche hadn't forcefully suppressed this matter and invited a prestigious tribe leader to come and testify that Musi had been a guest at his place at the time and couldn't have pretended to be a bandit to plunder the tribes, the two sides would have already begun fighting. "
Ye Yunbao said, "I have a plan. What do you think?"
Yang Fan's spirits rose as he hurriedly said, "General, please speak!"
Ye Yunbao said, "We have two gates here, and this mound in the middle is built between two mountain passes. Their two tribes don't get along, and this was also the reason why they split up. Once their main army arrives, they will also be responsible for one gate. After all, even though they have an army of one hundred thousand, if they are all spread out in front of my gate, the majority of the people will only be able to stand back and watch. There will be no place for them to stand. "
Yang Fan said, "Correct!"
Ye Yunbao smiled. "Since that's the case, what if this general gives you a group of soldiers dressed as Turks and pretending to be Musi to launch a sneak attack on the Ashina camp and incite them to kill each other? What do you think?"
Yang Fan was dumbfounded. He had always felt that this Palace Commander Ye was an extremely shrewd person, but he hadn't expected him to come up with such a lousy idea.
