The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 223 Preliminary Strategy

By the time Lin Congyun had packed up and went out, everyone in the family was already in the yard.

"Mom, you're awake!" Fang Deyong took Fang Xinyue's hand and walked forward to ask with concern.

"Grandma, you're finally awake." Fang Xinyu also hurried forward.

"Mom, are you hungry? I'll have someone bring the food up right away." Zhang Liucui touched Fang Xinyu's head.

Lin Congyun felt warm in his heart as he looked at the people surrounding him. Even Fang Xinfeng and Fang Xinlei were among them. It seemed that their injuries had almost healed.

This was the most complete gathering of people in the General's Mansion since she traveled through time.

"Okay, no one has eaten yet! Then let's eat together." Lin Congyun looked at their concerned expressions and spoke out.

As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny Bai came out with Luzhu and several maids, carrying food.

Everyone took their seats one by one, sat together, and enjoyed this rare reunion time.

At the table, Zhang Liucui kept picking up dishes for Lin Congyun, and said with concern: "Mom, please eat more. You worked hard last night."

Lin Congyun smiled and nodded, and also picked up some food for Fang Xinfeng and Fang Xinlei, and asked with concern: "How are your injuries?"

"Thank you grandma for your concern. I'm much better now." The two answered in unison, with gratitude on their faces.

After the meal, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

After dinner, Lin Congyun gathered everyone together to discuss the next plan.

"Now we have stored food, so we don't have to worry about the food problem in the short term. But if Huo Xiongcai keeps staying outside and doesn't leave, we won't have peace for a day." Lin Congyun said solemnly.

"Grandma, how about we charge out and teach them a lesson?" Fang Xinfeng said excitedly.

"Don't be impulsive." Lin Congyun shook his head. "They are outnumbered and powerful. If we rush out like this, we will only suffer losses."

"Are we going to be surrounded by him like this forever?" Fang Xinlei asked with a frown.

"Of course not." A cold light flashed in Lin Congyun's eyes, "We have to think of a way to make them withdraw their troops voluntarily."

After Lin Congyun finished speaking, the courtyard fell into deep thought.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, dappling across the yard, adding a touch of warmth to the solemn atmosphere.

Fang Deyong was the first to break the silence. He stood up and paced in the yard with firm steps, his hands behind his back and his brows furrowed, as if he was outlining strategies in his mind.

"We need to outsmart, not outgun. As the ancients said, to capture a thief you must first capture the leader. If we can make Huo Xiongcai lose his composure, or find an opportunity to subdue him, then the siege will be resolved."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the wind in the courtyard seemed to calm down a little, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Congyun and Fang Deyong.

Hearing this, Lin Congyun looked at Fang Deyong with appreciation, nodded and agreed, "Old Third is right. But it's not easy to make Huo Xiongcai lose his composure. We have to plan carefully."

"Grandma, Third Uncle, we can find a way to lure him in, then set up an ambush and take him down in one fell swoop." Fang Xinfeng said eagerly with excitement in his eyes.

Lin Congyun nodded slightly, with approval on his face: "This plan is feasible. However, how to lure him in and how to ensure that we can capture him in one fell swoop, these are issues we need to consider carefully."

"Grandma, we can..." Fang Xinlei couldn't help but offer a suggestion. Everyone started discussing it, and the atmosphere gradually became heated.

Lin Congyun felt very pleased when he saw everyone's active participation.

She knew that the people in the General's Mansion had united to face this crisis together.

After some in-depth discussion and planning, everyone finally agreed on a preliminary strategy.

In the following days, they began to make intensive preparations.

At the same time, Huo Xiongcai had already found the unconscious soldier outside, which made him furious.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye and not let go of even a fly? Now look what happened, so many people have been knocked out." Huo Xiongcai's angry roar echoed in the makeshift tent, shocking the surrounding soldiers so much that they lowered their heads and dared not breathe.

"Governor, I am guilty of negligence. Please punish me." A soldier stepped forward tremblingly, knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness.

Huo Xiong glared at him and said angrily: "Will it be useful to punish you? The most important thing now is that we must find a way to find the entrance as soon as possible and catch that old woman."

"But, Governor, we have been searching for several days and have no clues at all," another soldier whispered.

"Then keep looking. You must find them even if you have to dig deep into the ground." Huo Xiongcai slammed the table fiercely. "I don't believe they can just disappear out of thin air."

"Governor, could it be that they have already escaped?" At this time a middle-aged man suddenly spoke. He was Huo Xiongcai's military advisor.

Huo Xiongcai frowned when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly shook his head: "Impossible. Our people have been guarding outside the whole time, and not even a fly has flown out. They must still be hiding inside."

As soon as these words came out, Huo Xiongcai was furious again. The flies were not flying around, but so many soldiers were knocked out, and some soldiers even had their clothes stripped off, and they didn't even know how they attacked!

"Governor, is there a secret passage for escape?" the military advisor asked again.

"Secret passage?" Huo Xiongcai's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Send someone to look for it immediately to see if there is any secret passage or other entrance in this deep forest."

"Yes, Governor." The soldiers responded in unison and took quick action.

Huo Xiongcai held the sword at his waist, stood up, and a sinister smile appeared on his face: "Old woman, I want to see how long you can hide."

In the general's mansion, Lin Congyun and others were also making nervous preparations.

Not only did they strengthen the defenses inside the valley, they also camouflaged the entrance to the passage to prevent Huo Xiongcai from discovering it.

"Grandma, everything is ready." Fang Xinfeng walked to Lin Congyun and reported in a low voice.

Lin Congyun nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face: "Very good. Next, we just wait for them to take the bait."

The next day, Huo Xiongcai received a report from the soldiers that a hidden secret passage entrance was found in the deep forest.

When Huo Xiongcai heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately ordered everyone to gather and prepare to attack in one fell swoop.

"You've finally revealed your true colors. I want to see what tricks you can come up with!" He sneered, mounted his warhorse, and led everyone, marching towards the entrance of the secret passage in a mighty manner.

In the valley passage, Lin Congyun and others were holding their breath, closely watching the movements outside through the observation port in the passage.
