After Yang Gao's order was completed, the entire Sui army camp suddenly became lively, and Qin Huaiyu and Di Qing each led five thousand elites to rush out of the camp and leave without dust.

Qin Qiong, Nan Jiyun, Luo Shixin, Yuwen Chengdu and other generals who stayed in the camp urged the sergeants to strengthen the wall of the Chinese military camp, prepare strong bows and hard crossbows and rolling wooden stones, dig more pits on the periphery, and put more horse and deer antlers in preparation for the upcoming battle.

And Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling and other officials were also too busy to warm up. A large amount of grain and grass were hoarded in the camp, and once the war began, one careless person would be destroyed in the flames of war. During the war years, there was a shortage of supplies, so several people have been busy moving these materials to the safety of the rear camp to minimize the loss as much as possible.

Now the most leisurely person in the entire Sui army camp is Emperor Yang Gao, who is sitting comfortably on a chair at this time to study the military book.

"Your Majesty, now that the big war is coming, won't you go out to inspect and inspect?"

The red lady, who was arranged by Yang Gao to serve as a captain in the internal guard army, saw that Yang Gao had been staying in the imperial tent to study the military book, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hearing this, Yang Gao slowly put down the military book in his hand, and said with a slight smile: "I have arranged for all generals to prepare for war, and Song *** is just a clown, so there is no need to worry." ”

The red lady asked with a little surprise: "Your Majesty trusts a few generals so much, you are not afraid that someone will steal and play tricks and spoil Your Majesty's big things!" ”

Yang Gao Zhengse said: "There is no suspicion that people are not used, since I dare to use them, then I believe in their ability." If there is not even this trust between the monarch and the minister, how can I take over the world? ”

Hearing this, the red lady's body shook suddenly, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't help but secretly say: "Xianggong, if you meet a Ming monarch like Your Majesty as soon as possible, why did you come from the misfortune of the day?" ”

。。。。。。。。。。

When Song Jiang heard about Li Kui's massacre, he was also surprised. I wanted to withdraw Li Kui quickly, but Wu Yong, the military advisor, suddenly offered a plan: "Li Kui's massacre of the city is bound to anger the Sui army, and the Sui army generals will definitely want to kill him and then hurry." We can just take the opportunity to take Li Kui as bait and ambush the Sui army on the road and win a big victory. ”

Song Jiang pondered for a while, and felt that Wu used this plan very well, so he immediately acted according to the plan. pretended to lead the army to be stationed in Pingyan Town, but in fact, he secretly led the main force to rush to the vicinity of Suchang County to hide and wait.

Pingyan Town is just a small village in Xuchang County, built next to the mountain, which is a sparsely populated place. When the people in the village heard that Li Kui was slaughtering the city in the county seat, they were already frightened, and they left their homes with their families and children, and ran around to flee for their lives.

As soon as the people left, only Song Jiang's soldiers and horses were left in the whole town, and the news became a little closed. Even the well-trained scouts of the Sui army had no way to find out the true movements of Song Jiang's military horses in a short period of time.

Although the camp set up by Song Jiang in Pingyan Town stretches for more than ten miles, it seems to be boundless from a distance. But in fact, there were only four or five thousand soldiers and horses stationed there, and there were only two generals left behind, Lei Heng and Song Qing.

The sky was getting dark, and the moon was silently climbing up the branches.

Under the bright moonlight, a group of soldiers and horses were galloping all the way, heading straight to Pingyan Town. The leader of the general was dressed in bronze armor, carrying a fifty-six-pound Wansheng knife, and wearing a bronze ghost mask, which looked more and more hideous under the moonlight. Who is Di Qing if he is not?

"Phew!"

Di Qing galloped all the way, and when he arrived about three miles away from Pingyan Town, he suddenly reined in his war horse, waved his big hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Stop!" ”

Di Qing gave an order, and the five thousand sergeants quickly stopped advancing. The adjutant general rode his horse to catch up with Di Qing and asked puzzledly: "General Di, this place is only three miles away from Pingyan Town, and our army is attacking the enemy camp in one go, why did General Di suddenly order to stop the march?" ”

Di Qing looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "I know that I know that I will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and I will send someone to investigate the situation in Pingyan Town first; In addition, it was just getting dark, and the defenders in Pingyan Town should not have fallen asleep; The brethren had also had a hard time on their journey, and they had to rest for an hour or two. After the situation in Pingyan Town is clearly investigated and most of the bandits have fallen asleep, we will set off again. ”

The adjutant general reacted immediately after hearing Di Qing's words, and immediately retreated to convey Di Qing's order to rest on the spot to the sergeant.

After the adjutant general retreated, Di Qing waved his hand again and summoned a soldier not far from him, and said, "Shi Qian, I heard that Your Majesty said that you are very good at flying eaves and walking walls. Ben will now order you to immediately infiltrate Pingyan Town to find out the situation of the bandits, are you sure? ”

Shi Qian's implanted identity was a scout in Xue Rengui's army, who performed well in the Central Plains Campaign and found a lot of useful information for the army. Xue Rengui has clear rewards and punishments, and he asks for credit for the time according to the facts.

After Yang Gao learned that Shi Qian was in Xue Rengui's army, he took the opportunity to promote him and arranged him into Jinyiwei. Now that Di Qing raided Pingyan Town, what he needed most was the deployment of the defenders, so Yang Gao ordered Shi Qian to follow Di Qing together.

After listening to the order, he proudly touched the two mustaches on his lips, and said with a smile: "General Di, don't worry, this kind of thing is the villain's old business." Not to mention a small Pingyan Town, it is Luoyang, Chang'an, and villains can come and go freely! ”

Di Qing suddenly frowned slightly, and blurted out a sentence: "It turns out that you are a thief!" ”

Shi Qian coughed lightly twice when he heard this, and said with a smile: "General, although the villain has done unclean business before, the villain has abandoned evil and followed good for a long time. ”

Di Qing was upright, and after learning about Shi Qian's background, he was a little displeased, and said earnestly: "You thief should be arrogant and self-righteous. Finding out the defense of Pingyan Town can make our army's raid twice as effective with half the effort, you must be careful... ”

"Don't worry, general, I'll go back when I go!"

Shi Qian saw that Di Qing was a little disgusted with his background, so he doubted his ability and was a little displeased. Before he could finish speaking, he interrupted him, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, and quickly disappeared under the cover of night.

。。。。。。。。。。

About an hour later, Shi Qian rushed back in the dust, and reported to Di Qingdao: "General Qiqi Di, according to the villain's investigation, the garrison in Pingyan Town is about 5,000 people, and there are 2,000 people stationed in the east of the town, but now most of them have gone back to the camp to sleep." ”

Shi Qian said and took out a temporary sketch from his arms, pointed to the drawing line and said: "General Di, you see, Song Jiang hoarded most of the grain and grass in the center of the town, and the main generals who stayed in the town also lived here. As long as we go like this, we can avoid the main force of the bandits and go straight to the grain hoard. ”

Di Qing said with some suspicion: "Shi Qian, this is a matter of life and death for my five thousand soldiers, you must not blame me!" ”

Shi Qian saw that Di Qing had been questioning his ability because of his background, and his heart couldn't help but burst into flames: "If there is a fake, if you don't work with the general, I will apologize myself!" ”

Seeing that Shi Qian said so decisively, Di Qing no longer hesitated, and quickly ordered the whole army to assemble and kill Pingyan Town.
