Qi Haoran hid in the forest with his men and used his telescope to observe the situation at the checkpoint. Now, they were staying behind the checkpoint and Baoshan County was already under their control. As there were Jin soldiers stationed in Qinghe Town, Qi Haoran's men did not dare to act rashly. They were afraid of alerting the garrison of Hanzhong Prefecture, so they planned to get rid of the people at the checkpoint first. After Jiang Ze brought his men over, they would knock down the garrison in Qinghe Town together.
Qi Haoran placed the telescope into the wooden tube he carried with him and said in a low voice, "Everyone, hide yourselves. We'll attack while they're having dinner. Don't make too much noise. Mu Shi, bring people to guard the various intersections. No one is allowed to escape."
Mu Shi agreed and left with a team.
