Hearing Chen Ping's praise of Yingbu, Lu Yan didn't know what to say, thinking that according to the Yue clan patriarch's report, the Qiang people had 20,000 troops and gave Yingbu 20,000 Qin troops, and the Qiang people didn't know that Qin was going to send troops to attack their clan at the moment, so thinking like this, the victory rate was extremely high.

The Qiang people live in the northwest, close to Shu County, and there are mountains and rivers in the middle, so the residents of the two places have no intersection, and Chen Ping said that the Qiang people are invading the people is just a rumor.

If the Qiang people are in the northwest for a day, Lu Yan will always have some risks in sending troops to the Xiongnu, so the Qiang people must be expelled, or exterminated, and then the Xiongnu, as for the Yue clan, as long as they gather in the north of Qilian Mountain, they will not be afraid.

Yingbu led 20,000 Qin troops, of which 10,000 were cavalry, although not as good as Mengtian's iron cavalry, but its power should not be underestimated, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers were recruited bullies, who could still obey military orders after Yingbu disciplined.

In the old city of Zhao, although an agreement had been reached with the Xiongnu, it was necessary to take precautions, so Lu Yan stayed in the old city for the time being, and asked Chen Ping to contact the Yue clan to ambush first, and then Yingbu took the opportunity to send troops and did not give the Qiang a chance to react.

In the tent, Lu Yan looked at the map, and Yingbu was behind Lu Yan, "Chief of the guard, you can send troops in a few days, do you know all the regional drawings within a radius of 100 miles?" ”

"Master Qiqi, if nothing goes wrong, as long as Chen Ping sends a message, our army can wait for the opportunity to move and not give the Qiang people a chance to breathe." Yingbu said imposingly.

Lu Yan also nodded, "As the so-called soldiers do not go empty, this battle will have a result, and we must fight with the Qiang army to increase the morale of our army." ”

"Master Hou rest assured, I'm afraid that this Qiang clan still doesn't know what our intentions are, don't worry, when the Yue clan ambush is completed, I will inform the chief of the guard." Chen Ping also said with confidence.

"That's fine, I will also arrange it here in the old city of Zhao Kingdom, you can be careful on the road." Lu Yan couldn't help but say with some concern, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, so he transferred troops with Yingbu on the same day.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Yingbu led his troops to camp south of Yanzhi Mountain in the northwest first, and waited until Chen Ping sent a message that the Yue clan was ambushed near Qilian Mountain, and it could be done with a single blow.

First of all, let's talk about the geographical location, north of Yanzhi Mountain is the Qilian Mountain Range, there is some open space in the middle, which is occupied by the Qiang people, and the main Qiang members are in the northwest of Qilian Mountain, as for the Yue clan is near the northeast of Qilian Mountain, close to the Xiongnu, this time the army is to drive away the Qiang people in the middle, and the Qiang people in the northwest, so that they can move to the north of the Qilian Mountains farther away.

At this time, there were Qiang sentinels living north of Yanzhi Mountain, mainly used to inspect the movements of the Yue clan's personnel, and they found something strange when they walked to the border of Qin.

It turned out that the Qin army had war horses, and there was horse manure everywhere they passed, and the Qiang sentinels naturally did not let go of such details, and they found that there were grain residues in the horse manure.

As everyone knows, the Yue clan and the Xiongnu clan also raise war horses, but they do not have the habit of feeding grain, they are basically fed with grass, so the horse manure with grain residues makes the sentinels frightened.

Without much guesswork, he knew that it was left by the Qin army, and carefully observed the place where the war horse passed, which was between Yanzhi Mountain and Qilian Mountain, how dare the sentinels delay and immediately return to the small tribe of the Qiang tribe.

Hearing his words, the patriarch of the small tribe was naturally cautious, and did not dare to make a decision alone, and sent someone to the northwest of Qilian Mountain to inform the chief patriarch.

The patriarch of the Qiang tribe was arrogant, and when he heard a report from the headquarters, he said that a large number of horse manure relics were found in the suburbs, and it was suspected that it was a war horse of the Qin army.

Only replied that it was also possible that the wild horse herd had eaten wild grains, so there was no need to be afraid, how could the people who came here to report dare to refute, so they had to promise again and again, and some reluctantly returned to their tribe.

There is an important place between Yanzhi Mountain and Qilian Mountain, and the patriarch of the small tribe heard that the big patriarch did not believe it in his heart, so he naturally couldn't, and he tried his best as a subordinate, but the above did not listen.

So the patriarch of the small tribe set up camp overnight, left the vicinity of Yanzhi Mountain, and migrated to the north of Qilian Mountain, that is, the direction of the Yue clan.

Besides, the location of the patriarch of the Qiang tribe in the northwest, the patriarch did not believe it, and it did not mean that the clan members were also arrogant, and the elders heard that the patriarch did not care, so they had to privately deploy troops to prevent the Qin army from attacking.

Therefore, the Qiang people in the northwest are divided into two factions, one is the conservatives, who think that they should be defended, and if the Qin army comes to attack, they can also save the lives of the whole family, so as not to be extinct, and the other is the arrogant faction, thinking that the Qin army has shown favor to the Xiongnu and the Yue clan, and must also know the power of the grassland people, so they dare not send troops, maybe soon the Qin army will send a messenger, and then the Qiang people will sell them a face, and they are really happy.

It is also said that the place where the patriarch of the small tribe near Yanzhi Mountain migrated was near the Yue clan, and Chen Ping had ordered to set up defenses here and set up many ambushes.

On that day, Chen Ping was looking at the surrounding map with the patriarch of the Yue clan, and suddenly a small soldier came to report, saying that he had found 2,000 men and horses rushing towards the north of Qilian Mountain, and it was suspected that they were going to camp north of Qilian Mountain.

This matter immediately attracted Chen Ping's attention, and when the patriarch of the Yue clan heard the sentinel say this, he also understood a little in his heart, and he rushed from Yanzhi Mountain to the north of Qilian Mountain, and he must be the patriarch of a small tribe.

"Patriarch, this team should be removed." Chen Ping said very seriously.

The Yue clan has always been friendly with the patriarch of the small tribe, and now when he heard what Chen Ping said, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, "The little patriarch has nothing to do with harm, why should he get rid of it?" The patriarch of the Yue clan said helplessly.

"Now the little patriarch came to the Qilian Mountains, where the place is just the hinterland of the Yue clan, if we send troops to attack the Northwest Qiang clan, please also ask the Yue clan to think about it, then the little patriarch attaches importance to his own clan or the Yue clan, who does not put the interests of his own clan first, when the time comes, we will attack the Northwest Qiang clan in front, if it is attacked by the small patriarch here, how is it good?" Chen Ping analyzed it very thoroughly.

"The little patriarch is not such a person." The patriarch of the Yue Clan said a little weakly.

"But things are afraid of just in case, only by cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, can the rear hinterland be taken care of." Chen Ping said very seriously.

There are many ruthless people in the Yue clan, and after hearing Chen Ping's meaning, at least getting rid of a branch of the Qiang clan is a big profit, so why not do it.

So, many elders of the Qiang clan nodded and knelt in front of the patriarch of the Yue clan at the same time, "Please also ask the patriarch to order, if you are not from my clan, your heart will be different, if you don't get rid of it, it will be a trouble." ”

Seeing many members like this, the patriarch had no choice but to nod, "Sir, if the little patriarch surrenders, can you treat him well?" ”

"It is too early to think about it because we have not sent troops yet, but it is naturally best to be willing to surrender." In order to prevent the patriarch from changing his opinion, Chen Ping had to take the right and agree.
