"Listen up, you lot! Go to the hotels and inns on the street immediately and spread the word that the Yizhou Prefecture army is going to launch a night attack on the Liangshan camp!"

"Remember, be careful in everything you do, and don't get caught, understand?"

"Yes!"

Although several trusted servants had doubts,

But he still accepted the order and left.

Trying to steal my credit!

When you reach the underworld, you'll have your moment of triumph!

Zhao Xin gave a chilling laugh.

When Li Yun was captured and interrogated earlier,

Although Zhao Xin didn't get anything out of this blue-eyed tiger,

But I also figured out one thing.

In the city of Yizhou Prefecture,

It's likely that many Liangshan spies have already infiltrated the 383 area.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to rescue Li Yun so quickly!

Now Zhao Xin has dispatched his trusted servants to spread the news through the city's hotels and inns.

They wanted to reveal Huang Kui and his men's plan to raid the camp to the spies of Liangshan.

If Liangshan had been prepared in advance

Tonight, we will launch a night raid on Huang Kui and his men.

It's clearly like a lamb being led to the slaughter.

Not a single one will escape!

Zhao Dalang of Liangshan

You absolutely mustn't let me down!

Zhao Xin silently offered a prayer in his heart.

.........

Just as Zhao Xin had guessed,

News has arrived that Yizhou Prefecture is planning a night attack on Liangshan's camp.

The news quickly reached the ears of Han Bolong and the others.

"The commander Huang Kui is going to lead troops in a night raid. This matter must be brought to the attention of the chieftain no matter what."

Zhu Fu said in a deep voice, "Six | Four | Six |? One | Three | Six | Six | Five | Nine |?"

"If it's the bandit army, they really weren't prepared tonight,"

"If we suffer heavy losses as a result, we'll have offended someone, just like Liangshan..."

Chapter 523 Each with their own plans

"I'll go,"

Han Bolong pondered for a moment and then said,

"Although entering and leaving Yizhou City is now strictly prohibited, only the north and west gates are heavily guarded."

"The area around the East Gate is much looser."

"I'll find a way to sneak onto the city wall and climb down using a rope."

"The Yizhou garrison will move after dark,"

Zhu Fu suggested,

"Brother Han, you'd better wait until they leave the city before trying to get out."

"what do you mean?"

Han Bolong was stunned for a moment.

"If you leave the city too early, you will alert the government troops in Yizhou Prefecture,"

Zhu Fu explained,

"It would be bad if they canceled tonight's night raid."

"Brother Zhu means that the chieftains should turn the tables on the government troops and launch a night raid on Yizhou Prefecture, wiping them out in one fell swoop?"

Han Bolong's eyes lit up immediately.

"That's right!"

Zhu Fu nodded.

"The walls of Yizhou City are high and thick. If we really try to attack them head-on, who knows how many of our brothers on the mountain will die or be injured."

"Our original plan was to create chaos within the city after the main army besieged it,"

"Let's find another way to open the city gates and welcome the army into the city."

"If our stronghold can wipe out this group of government troops who launched a night raid tonight, wouldn't it be much easier for us to carry out our plans?"

"That's true,"

Han Bolong nodded in agreement.

"By the way, news of the government troops' planned night raid on the mountain stronghold has suddenly spread throughout the streets. There's probably something fishy about this,"

Zhu Fu reminded him,

"Tell the village chief about this too, so that the village can be prepared."

"Brother Zhu, do you mean that the government troops in Yizhou Prefecture want to join our Liangshan?"

Han Bolong's eyes lit up.

If there are indeed officials in Yizhou Prefecture willing to surrender...

For Liangshan, that was...

This is clearly a good thing.

"It's not clear yet,"

Zhu Fu shook his head.

"I have already sent my men to track down those who spread the rumors."

......

evening,

As the sun completely set...

The west gate of Yizhou Prefecture quietly opened.

Commander Huang Kui, along with his four subordinate officers,

Leading 500 cavalry and 3,000 infantry,

Quietly leaving the city,

They headed towards the Liangshan military camp, which was thirty miles away.

When the night raid forced the main force to leave,

Zhao Xin stood on the city wall.

He watched Huang Kui and the others leave with a cold expression.

quickly,

Then one of his trusted family members came to report.

They say there are people at the taverns and inns.

Inquire about the previous leak of information regarding the government troops' night raid.

"Master, do you want to......"

The servant raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Otherwise, if they keep investigating like this, they'll definitely find out about us!"

"It doesn't matter, the important thing is to get them to find me,"

Zhao Xin's eyes flickered.

"Keep them alive, they'll be very useful later!"

The master and servant were talking.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out at the western end of Yizhou City.

"Go and find out what happened."

Zhao Xin gave the instructions.

After a while,

The information was gathered by the servants who returned to report.

“At the west gate, some of the guards have been bribed to let outsiders onto the city wall.”

"But unexpectedly, after that person went up, he actually used the rope to suspend himself out of the city."

"These spies from Liangshan are really something!"

Zhao Xin couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.

"Even with such strict urban management in Yizhou Prefecture, they still managed to find loopholes."

.........

at the same time,

In a courtyard in Yizhou Prefecture.

After sending Han Bolong out of the city

Zhu Fu also learned from his spies that

Previously, the Yizhou government troops had received news that they were planning a night attack.

It actually came from the home of the newly appointed Defense Commissioner, Zhao Xin.

Huang Kui stole Zhao Xin's credit from him on the city tower.

Zhu Fu was unaware of this.

So, in his view at this moment,

Since Zhao Xin would send his men to spread news of the government troops' night attack...

That means,

This man saw the Liangshan army approaching.

I'm already scared.

I'm preparing to leave myself a way out!

"What a coward!"

Zhu Fu sneered.

"This scoundrel, just a soldier, harmed the entire village of Anle in Rouge Mountain for military merit! (Good money, good fortune!)"

"But now they are afraid of the Liangshan army and want to curry favor with us!"

"Should we send someone to contact him?"

The scout asked.

"Don't rush,"
