Just as Ang Lee was excited, he found a flaw in the problem. An Lushan's Governor's Mansion had just been invaded by men in black. At this time, An Lushan should be living in seclusion and be on high alert. Why would he suddenly go to White Wolf Mountain to hunt for three days? Moreover, the weather was so cold. Why would he be in such a good mood?
Okay.
.
The so-called hunting for three days was most likely a trap set by An Lushan to catch all the people who wanted to kill him in one fell swoop.
"An Lushan is a sly old fox. He's full of evil tricks. Instead of staying in the Governor's Mansion, he came to White Wolf Mountain to hunt. It must be a trap. We must be very careful and not fall into his trap."
Ang Lee was eager for revenge, but his mind was clear at this moment. He would not be blinded by hatred, nor would he rush to his death.
"Wuyang is right. We must investigate carefully and see what tricks An Lushan is playing. Erniu, take a dozen brothers and go investigate."
"Yes, Master."
Erniu accepted the order and led the dozen brothers away quickly.
"Wuyang, White Wolf Village might not be safe. Should we go somewhere else?"
Ang Lee shook his head gently and said, "No need. The most dangerous place is the safest. White Wolf Village is now a pile of ruins. No one will notice this place."
Ang Lee was still full of affection for the White Wolf Village that was now a pile of ruins. Living in the ruins, he could occasionally recall the happy times of the past. He recalled the little sprout, Gouzi, and Xiao Kui. The thick familial love filled his heart with warmth.
Moreover, the location of White Wolf Village was very good. It was dozens of miles away from Liucheng County. To the south was the vast White Wolf Mountain. If they wanted to retreat, they could quickly retreat into the mountain. Li Feishou Yu and most of his brothers were here. If they moved to another place, there would not be a suitable place to stay.
Li Feishou Yu felt that Ang Lee's words made sense. He nodded in agreement.
Twenty miles southeast of the White Wolf Village, in a flat open area, six tents were spread out in the shape of a plum blossom. Among them, the tent in the middle was obviously much taller, while the tents around it were slightly smaller.
In the middle of the tent, Yan Zhuang and An Zhongliu stood on both sides. In the middle, a fat general was nervously tapping the table in front of him with his fingers. A few soldiers carried steaming hot food into the tent and gently placed it on the table.
"Commander in Chief, the food is here."
Yan Zhuang bowed out of habit.
"Mister Yan, there are no outsiders within a radius of a hundred steps. Please don't call me Commander in Chief. It's too much for me." The fat general hurriedly returned the greeting.
This fat general was not An Lushan himself, but the valiant general under his command, He Side. However, his appearance and figure were quite similar to An Lushan's. Wearing An Lushan's official robes, he could pass for the real one.
"General He, now that you are wearing the Commander-In-Chief's uniform, you represent the Commander-In-Chief. From now on, treat yourself as the Commander-In-Chief of Ying Province. You don't have to think about anything else."
Yan Zhuang warned He Side in a commanding tone.
In order to help An Lushan solve the problem, Yan Zhuang did not hesitate to put himself in danger. However, An Lushan was the Commander-In-Chief of Ying Province. In order to prevent any accidents, Yan Zhuang asked He Side, who looked similar to An Lushan, to pretend to be An Lushan and act as bait with himself.
At this moment, An Lushan was obediently staying in the Commander-In-Chief's Manor, closely guarded by hundreds of elite private soldiers.
He Side was a little unhappy. He picked up his chopsticks and then gently put them down.
"Mister Yan, we have come fully prepared this time to lure the enemy. Also, how many soldiers does the enemy have?"
Yan Zhuang glanced at He Side in disdain and nodded. "Don't worry, Commander in Chief. I have already calculated that the enemy has less than a hundred soldiers. Also, we will not take any action today."
"Good. With Mister Yan here, I feel much more at ease."
He Side picked up his chopsticks again and ate in big mouthfuls.
In the wee hours of the morning, Zhang Erniu and a dozen of his subordinates returned to White Wolf Village.
"Erniu, what's the situation?"
Lifei Shouyu walked towards Zhang Erniu. Ang Lee, Kun Xiong, and Fei Yu also followed. _ X8
e`n8.
"Master, An Lushan's group is twenty li southeast of here. They have set up six tents. There are fifty soldiers guarding the tents. The other fifty are spread out within three li."
Ang Lee frowned slightly. "Have you checked the area within ten li?"
"We have. Our brothers' legs are all broken from running. There are no Pinglu soldiers within fifteen li of the tents."
"Only a hundred or so guards. An Lushan is really bold. He must be tired of living."
Ang Lee's lips curled into a smile.
"Don't worry. There are only fifty guards around An Lushan's tent. If we gather all of our men and launch a surprise attack, we have absolute confidence that we can kill An Lushan."
Ang Lee naturally wanted to kill An Lushan. Not only could he avenge his father, but he could also avoid future calamities. However, An Lushan's carelessness made him feel uneasy. He had a feeling that things were not as simple as he thought. An Lushan's sudden departure from the city to hunt was definitely a scheme.
"Big Brother, An Lushan has been hunting for three days. He might return to Liucheng County tomorrow evening. Tonight is our only chance."
"Big Brother, Erniu and the others have already scouted the area. There are no large numbers of Pinglu soldiers around. There is nothing to worry about."
Ang Lee pondered for a moment and looked at Lifei Shouyu. "I think it's better to be cautious. Tonight, Kun Xiong, Fei Yu, and I will lead half of our men to assassinate An Lushan. Shouyu, you will lead the other half of our men to provide support from the rear. This way, if we are in danger, you will be able to rescue us."
"Alright. Erniu, you will lead twenty men tonight. Listen to all of Wuyang's orders."
"Yes, Master."
Since they were going to assassinate An Lushan at night, Lifei Shouyu's men, except for a few who were on sentry duty, were all resting. Especially Erniu and the others, who had been tired for a day and night, fell asleep immediately.
Ang Lee was not sleepy at all. He, Kun Xiong, and Fei Yu were crafting short spears. This mission was extremely important. He had to prepare enough short spears to deal a heavy blow to the enemy at the beginning of the ambush.
After noon, Ang Lee rested for a few hours and only got up in the evening.
After everyone had eaten their fill, the sky turned dark. Ang Lee, Kun Xiong, and Fei Yu led Zhang Erniu and the other twenty men and ran twenty miles to the southeast by skiing. Lifei Shouyu led the remaining twenty men and maintained a distance of two miles from Ang Lee's group so that they could provide support at any time.
Twenty miles to the southeast of White Wolf Village, six tents were brightly lit. He Side was pacing nervously in his tent. Beside him, Yan Zhuang and An Zhongliu were equally nervous.
According to Yan Zhuang's calculations, after midnight tonight, the bandits would definitely ambush the main tent to kill An Lushan. Their reinforcements were already on their way.
However, if Yan Zhuang's calculations were wrong, or if the reinforcements did not arrive in time, they would be in danger.
He Side still did not trust Yan Zhuang. After all, Yan Zhuang was only a mortal. He was not an immortal. How could he calculate the timing of the bandits' ambush? If the bandits moved ahead of time, the entire plan would fail completely.
Of course, no matter how doubtful He Side was, Yan Zhuang still believed in his own judgment. He had met countless people and had a thorough understanding of human nature. He believed that the bandits would definitely be led by the nose unless they were brainless idiots. If they were really idiots, he had nothing to fear.
"Commander in chief, the bandits will attack very soon. You must keep the soldiers steady. Our reinforcements will arrive soon and catch all the bandits in one fell swoop."
Yan Zhuang looked at He Side and reminded him softly.
He Side nodded doubtfully. At this moment, he had no other choice but to trust Yan Zhuang.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
He Side had just nodded when the sound of crossbows firing came from outside the tent.
"Commander in chief, bandits are ambushing us."
A soldier ran into the main tent in a panic.
"Commander in chief, tell the soldiers to stay steady. Reinforcements will arrive soon."
Yan Zhuang reminded him again. At this moment, other than nervousness, he was also excited. His plan was already half successful. The bandits had indeed launched a surprise attack at the time he expected.
At this moment, He Side could not help but admire Yan Zhuang. He paused for a moment and ran out of the tent. He shouted, "Soldiers, stay steady. For every bandit killed, I will reward you with ten gold collars."
The fifty or so private soldiers around the tent were all well-trained elites. Although they had suffered a lot of losses after the ambush, they quickly stabilized their position and surrounded the tent with a shield formation.
He Side hid behind the shield and ordered his soldiers to return fire with arrows.
The attacking group was a group of black-clothed men. There were sixty of them and all of them were skilled. These black-clothed men were the same group that Li Feiyu had met in Liucheng County. At that time, Li Feiyu thought that there were only thirty of them. In fact, they had thirty more accomplices hidden outside the city.
"Princess, it's An Lushan."
A black-clothed woman heard this and looked at He Side who was commanding the battle. Her eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Everyone, attack with all your might. Kill An Lushan."
After the black-clothed woman gave the order, the sixty black-clothed men charged at He Side with all their might. That unstoppable aura made He Side's heart jump. These people were all Death Warriors, and only Death Warriors had such a terrifying aura.
"Stay steady. Soldiers, you must stay steady."
He Side was anxious. He looked left and right, hoping that the reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.
At this moment, the fifty soldiers who were spread out three li around the tent had already arrived after hearing the commotion. However, the reinforcements from the other two routes had not appeared yet.
The sixty black-clothed men quickly rushed to the outside of the tent and engaged in an intense battle with He Side's elite private soldiers.
The black-clothed men were all death warriors. When they fought, they were not afraid of death. However, the private soldiers trained by An Lushan were not ordinary people either. The two sides engaged in an intense battle. The black-clothed men had the upper hand. The situation was very unfavorable for He Side.
