There were not many rebels in Qinghe, and the number of Qingzhou troops outside the city could completely crush the Qinghe defenders. However, the battle situation in the north had begun. The Fanyang rebels in Guanzhong could not take into account these border areas, so it was impossible for reinforcements to support Beizhou. There was no problem at all after waiting for two or three days.

On the night after Lin Zhao arrived at the Qingzhou Army Camp, someone sent a letter in Qinghe City, and agreed with the Qingzhou Army to open the city gate after dark the next night. The letter had no name, but someone wrote the word Cui in red.

After receiving the letter, Qi Sheng immediately handed the letter to Lin Zhao. Lin Zhao read it roughly, then put it aside, and said with a smile: "No matter whether the content is true or not, we will have no loss for a day. Let's wait for tomorrow night to see if the city gate will open."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhao paused and continued: "It should be noted that if the city gate of Qinghe really opens tomorrow, you should be careful when entering the city and be careful to prevent the enemy from setting up ambush in the city."

In fact, if the city gate is really opened, the possibility of setting up an ambush is not high. After all, the troops of the two sides are very different, and they can still defend the city for a period of time. If the city gate is opened, even if some of the vanguards of Qingzhou Army entering the city are killed by ambush, it will not be possible to stop the subsequent Qingzhou Army, and it may also cause subsequent revenge from the Qingzhou Army.

But just in case, there are still some precautions.

Qi Sheng immediately lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, my grandfather, I will all be attacking the city tomorrow night."

Lin Zhao nodded and did not continue talking.

When it comes to war, he can only be considered half a bucket of water. He just needs to formulate some general strategic directions. He is not prepared to interfere with these "professionals" in specific tactical issues.

That night, Lin Zhao took Cui Zhiqing to stay in the Qingzhou Army Commander's tent for one night. The next day, Cui Zhiqing hid in the commander's tent and did not go out. Lin Zhao walked around the Qingzhou Army camp and inspected these "Qingzhou direct descendants".

At this time, except for the patrolers, a large part of the camp hid in their tents and slept hard. It was not because these people were lazy, but because last night, Qi Sheng forced these people not to sleep, and even took his own personal guard camp to inspect the camp and woke up the sleeping people.

The purpose of this is naturally to make these people have a good sleep during the day and be more energetic when they are fighting at night.

In the evening, after Qi Sheng asked Lin Zhao for instructions, he took his two subordinates to slowly approach the east gate of Qinghe. At the time of Hai that he had agreed with the Cui family, Qi Sheng's troops were only one arrow away from the city wall.

The land of an arrow is about 130 steps, about 200 meters. This distance is the regular range of bows and arrows. However, if you are standing on the city wall, the range of bows and arrows will be longer, so this distance is not very fixed.

Everyone stopped outside the ground with an arrow. Qi Sheng waved his hand and immediately, twenty or thirty scouts from the scout camp touched under the city wall. After these scouts arrived at the city, they took out their iron whistles and whistled together, which rang throughout the night sky.

After the whistle outside the city sounded, whistles came soon in the city, and then the east gate of Qinghe "creaked" and was slowly pushed open.

The city gate was heavy. After a crack was opened, several soldiers from the scout camp immediately rushed forward, three or four people grabbed one side, and soon opened the east gate of Qinghe.

Qi Sheng, who was not far away, saw clearly. He waved his hand suddenly and shouted: "Brothers, the city gate is open, rush in!"

"Pay attention to the formation at night and don't mess up the formation!"

With his order, the two commanders immediately commanded their subordinate commander camp and rushed towards Qinghe City.

Qi Sheng himself slowly entered Qinghe under the escort of the personal guard camp.

As soon as he entered Qinghe City, an old man came to Qi Sheng surrounded by several Qingzhou troops. The old man looked about fifties. After seeing Qi Sheng, he immediately bowed his head and bowed and said, "Qinghe Cui Cheng, a servant of the Cui family, has seen General Qi."

Qi Sheng looked at the old man and smiled: "The Cui family is indeed trustworthy and opened the city gate on time, and it has made great contributions."

Cui Cheng lowered his head slightly, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and said, "General Qi, this is the position of the rebels' troops in the city and the specific number of people. My master asked me to hand it over to the general."

Qi Sheng's face changed slightly. He reached out to take the white paper. He saw that the detailed map of Qinghe City was drawn on the paper, and the location and number of rebels were marked on the map. The information was very detailed.

Qi Sheng nodded, immediately waved his hand to call his own guard, and said, "Tell me the order, and advance carefully, so that the two lieutenants will come to see me immediately!"

The guard nodded quickly and went down to pass the order.

After issuing the order, Qi Sheng turned around and looked at the old man with a smile on his face: "Qinghe Cui family is indeed well-known. With this picture, before dawn tomorrow, Qi can clear the rebels in the city."

Choi Seung-shen bowed his head deeply.

"Qinghe Cui, thank you for your kindness in rescuing you."

Qi Sheng chatted with the old servant of the Cui family for a while, and then asked, "There may be turmoil in the city tonight. Should Qi send a lieutenant camp to protect the safety of Cui family?"

Cui Cheng shook his head and bowed respectfully: "Thank you General Qi for his kindness, Cui can protect himself."

After saying that, the old man bowed to Qi Sheng and whispered: "After Yu Yu in the city clarify, the Cui family will hold a banquet to greet General Qi."

After saying that, the old man said goodbye to Qi Sheng, and turned around and left.

After the old man walked away, the two captains under Qi Sheng had already rushed over and bowed to Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng still looked at the old man's direction away, and sighed a little emotionally: "The thousand-year-old family is a bit different."

After sighing, he looked back at the two commanders, spread the map in his hand, and said, "This is the Qingzhou defense map that I just got. You two will take a look first, and then find a local Qinghe person to lead the way. There are only more than a thousand rebels in Qinghe City, and most of them are mobs, without the city walls to defend. Clean these people before dawn tomorrow."

“Is there any problem?”

Both captains took the defense map and looked at it. One of them bowed his head to Qi Sheng.

"Don't worry, General, with this picture, there is absolutely no problem."

Another commander grinned and said, "We know the enemy's troops clearly, this battle is too simple."

This era is not as developed as the information technology in later generations. Sometimes the most difficult thing to solve is the navigation problem. A certain flying general often gets lost outside the border, and some conventional battles are also blurred information, and there are few such accurate information battles.

With the huge information gap between the two sides, the Qingzhou Army is indeed very easy to fight.

Qi Sheng waved his hand and his voice was low: "Go, the master is watching in the camp. Don't lose the face of our Qingzhou army."

The two commanders responded with a loud bang and turned around and walked away with great strides.

Also on this night, Duke Lin, wearing green casual clothes, was resting in the Qingzhou Army camp outside the city, but he was also a little worried about the battle situation in the city and looked towards Qinghe City from time to time.

At around midnight, news finally came back to Boss Lin’s hand on the other side of Qinghe. After opening it, he finally felt relieved and returned to the tent to prepare to go to bed.

On the bed in the big tent, Cui Zhiqing, wearing a shirt, lay on the bed, her eyes widened, and she also had no pajamas.

Lin Sanlang lay beside Cui Zhiqing in clothes, reached out and hugged her in his arms, and then said with a smile: "Liu Niang, let's go to bed quickly, we will get up early tomorrow."

Cui Zhiqing adjusted her posture in Lin Zhao's arms, then looked up at Lin Zhao.

"Is there any news from Qinghe?"

"Um."

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "When it dawn, there will be no rebels in Qinghe."

He reached out and touched Cui Zhiqing's hair, and said with a smile.

"Get up early tomorrow and I'll take you home."
