"Hee-hee, today is Sister Shuang'er's birthday." The little maid Qin Xue'er said delicately.

"Frost's birthday?"

Qin Fan was slightly stunned and said, "When it happened, I don't know."

"Sister Shuang'er is afraid that it will affect your study, so she has been hiding it from you." Qin Xue'er explained.

"Silly girl."

Qin Shuang smiled softly, then pulled Qin Fan to sit down and said, "Hurry up and taste it, it was specially prepared by Shuang'er today."

Looking at Qin Shuang's expectant expression, Qin Fan was no longer polite, and began to eat and drink.

The two girls on the side, Han Yutong and Qin Xue'er, chattered non-stop.

After eating, the three of them sat in the courtyard to enjoy the wind and the moon.

"Frost, how is your father? I haven't seen them in a long time, don't you mind?" Qin Fan asked.

Qin Shuang pouted and said, "If you really have free time, just accompany me more, the court is entangled in government affairs all day long, how can you have time to care about other people."

"Okay, okay, I'll spend as much time with you as possible, it's okay."

Qin Shuang's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he asked, "Brother, are you going to take tens of thousands of troops to Chang'an City?"

"Fifty thousand." Qin Fan said without hesitation.

Qin Shuang exclaimed in surprise and said, "Fifty thousand troops, wouldn't it be too exaggerated."

Although Qin Fan killed nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Chang'an Army and seized countless ordnance and armor in the process of suppressing bandits.

But after all, the Northwest Army is the most elite army in Western Xia, with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and if you rashly bring so many soldiers and horses to attack, I am afraid that you will be attacked by the other party.

"Don't worry." Qin Fan smiled and said, "I have already planned everything, and there will definitely be no mistakes."

Qin Shuang saw that Qin Fan was so confident, so he nodded and said, "Since you have decided, then I will trust you, and my parents' lives will be entrusted to you."

"Don't worry, as long as I live, they'll be fine."

Early the next morning.

After Qin Fan woke up in the morning, he packed up and rode on a tall horse to the garrison of the Northwest Army.

Last night, Qin Fan discussed with the generals for a night and formulated a detailed battle plan.

According to his plan, the Western Liang army would set off early tomorrow morning, and then rob and kill the commander of the Western Yan army halfway, thus forcing the Western Yan to retreat.

Of course, this plan has not been made public.

After all, Chang'an City is only a hundred miles away from Xiling County, and the slightest disturbance will arouse the vigilance of the Xiyan army.

As a result, they are prepared for it, which is not a good thing.

Inside the main camp tent of the Northwest Army.

The crowd gathered around to discuss what to do next.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we must break through the Xiyan military camp today, and we must fight quickly. So I'm going to need you to act with me."

Qin Fan glanced at everyone present and said in a solemn tone.

"There are more than 80,000 Xiyan troops in the Xiyan military camp, we have to disperse the raid, and at the same time, we must not expose our whereabouts, because once exposed, the Xiyan army will take precautions in advance."

"Okay." Everyone said in unison.

Qin Fan continued: "General Han is under the overall command and is responsible for the feint."

"General Han, please send two hundred archers to shoot the enemy outside to attract attention, and then you lead two thousand infantry to sneak in."

Han Derang clenched his fists with a solemn face and said, "The last general will obey the order."

Qin Fan continued, "In addition, General Li Wu led two thousand cavalry, ambushing around the camp, ready to rescue our army at any time."

Han Derang nodded again.

Qin Fan looked at Huang Wenju again and ordered, "General Huang, you are in charge of the warships of the Northwest Army, as well as transporting supplies and the wounded."

"The last will obey." Huang Wenju arched his hand.

"In the end, General Huang is also needed to take the soldiers under his command, pretend to be the Western Yan army, lure the Western Yan army out of the city to face the battle, and then take the opportunity to raid."

"Won't that lead the wolf into the house?" Huang Wenju asked.

"No, it won't." Qin Fan

Determined.

"The current state of the Western Yan Army is relatively chaotic, and it is just right to use you to weaken their combat effectiveness, and then we can take Chang'an City more easily."

The generals agreed.

Soon everything was arranged, and everyone began to do their jobs.

Han Derang led 2,000 infantry to ambush the outside of the main camp of the Western Yan Army.

Qin Fan was hiding in the mountains and forests with 25,000 crossbowmen, as long as the Western Yan army dared to go out of the camp to face the battle, they would definitely be shot by the crossbowmen and die tragically on the spot.

As for the cavalry, Qin Fan chose to lead three hundred iron spear guards, quietly bypassing the patrols of the Western Yan Army and lurking in the nearby woods.

Chang'an City is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and in addition to ordinary people, it is inhabited by the elite class such as officials and wealthy merchants of Chang'an Prefecture.

If the Western Yan army occupies Chang'an City, it will definitely use its rich wealth and population to expand its sphere of influence, or even rebel.

Therefore, Qin Fan must seize this opportunity and completely destroy it.

When everything was ready, everyone waited patiently and quietly.

About a stick of incense.

Qin Fan suddenly heard a commotion, and then heard an angry roar sound.

"Presumptuous, how can you trespass on the palace and other untouchables?"

"Are you rebelling?"

"This king is Li Tai, the general of the Great Chu Dynasty, and you will not surrender on your knees."

Hearing these words, Qin Fan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he muttered in a low voice, "Li Tai."

Chang'an City, inside the Imperial Palace.

in a luxurious palace.

A middle-aged man sits cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed, and his breath steady.

"Knock knock."

At that moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house.

Immediately afterwards, a young man in a brocade robe rushed into the room, and said with an anxious face, "Report to my father, it's not good."

"What's wrong? What kind of panic is it?" The middle-aged man opened his eyes, frowned and scolded.

"The Western Yan army has raided our camp and has captured Chang'an City." The young man reported with a frightened face.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man Huo Ran got up and asked with a shocked face, "Is this true?"

The young man nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "It was Li Wu who led the cavalry to attack the Xiyan military camp, and our army suffered heavy losses."

"What?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened in disbelief.

After a short shock, the middle-aged man calmed down and said in a deep voice, "It seems that Qin Fan's guy finally can't help it, haha."

The middle-aged man threw his head back and laughed.

"Father, what now?" The young man asked with a pale face.

The middle-aged man waved his hand: "What's the panic, our reinforcements are about to arrive, and the Xiyan Army is not to be afraid at that time."

"Reinforcements?" The young man was stunned.

The middle-aged man said proudly, "Why do you think my father rushed to the Northwest Army so quickly? It was to mobilize reinforcements and defeat Qin Fan in one fell swoop."

"It turns out that my father has long known that there are changes in the Xiyan Army, so it's no wonder that he is so calm." The young man realized.

"Hmm." The middle-aged man nodded.
