After Qin Yan and Qin Zhao set off with their troops, it was already completely dark.

Lu Desheng knew that they were destined to spend the night in the wilderness tonight.

This situation is in line with one of the three situations they have deduced before, so they are mentally prepared.

After Qin Yan and Qin Zhao's army set off with dry food, the Pingzhou soldiers who stayed in Pinggang at this time all obeyed Qin Heng's orders and were accused by him.

Qin Heng ordered to go down, and all the soldiers began to divide labor in an orderly manner, guarding against the enemy army, setting up camps, and burying pots to cook.

The other two armies also began to follow suit, and the three sides restrained each other and defended each other.

At this time, whether it was the imperial court or Xianbei, they were silently assessing the strength of Pingzhou at this time.

In addition to the more than 20,000 soldiers in front of Pingzhou, as well as the 15,000 soldiers and horses that Qin Yan and Qin Zhao took away, how many soldiers can Pingzhou pull out?

General Sun said, "According to conservative estimates, the total number of soldiers in Pingzhou should be about 100,000. ”

The real number should be around sixty or seventy thousand. But is there a problem with 678,000 soldiers and horses, known as 100,000 troops?

Prince Gong was very shocked, Pingzhou could actually support 100,000 troops with the power of one state? Is Lu Desheng's ability so strong?

Speaking from the heart, the imperial court did not give too strong support to the local garrison. Take Youzhou as an example, there are four or five thousand soldiers and horses in one county, and the sum of the three counties is less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it is normal for Youzhou to have such a force. Pingzhou is too different.

Hearing Sun Ming's assessment of Pingzhou's troops, Prince Gong no longer had any idea of killing him in one battle, and his current idea was to leave everything to the emperor to decide.

At this moment, the smell of rice was already wafting from the camp in Pingzhou.

After a while, Lu Desheng served the rice bowl and beckoned his subordinates to eat together.

Then the Pingzhou soldiers began to take turns to eat in an orderly manner.

Sun Ming shook his head in his heart, these soldiers are as big-hearted as their commander Lu Desheng, they look like they should eat, drink, and don't worry about things.

Sun Ming noticed that not long after, three hundred soldiers from Pingzhou were dispatched to carry the boxes containing gold, silver and jewelry that they had just obtained from the Xianbei negotiation team into the carriage.

He thought to himself, Lu Desheng is going to send them back to Pingzhou's lair?

He had estimated in his heart just now that Pingzhou currently needed to leave enough troops to guard the counties of Pingzhou, and he had divided 15,000 soldiers and horses to take over Youzhou, and now the troops they could use should be limited.

Now he was suddenly a little unsure, if Pingzhou's troops and horses were stretched thin at this time, it was not suitable to divide the troops at this time, but they did it......

To the north, Xianbei temporary military tent

"Alennu, that archer in Pingzhou, who is stronger than you?" Tuoba inspected their humble archers.

Arennu was silent for a long time before replying, "The other party's strength is stronger. "For sharpshooters like them, it is not difficult to get the target's life, but the difficult thing is accuracy.

The other party shot twice, and the arrows shot were extremely accurate, especially the arrow in the back, the other party just warned the prince of Dali and didn't want the other party's life, so the arrow was wiped with his eyebrows, with a strong warning flavor.

"Then can you estimate the location of that sharpshooter in Pingzhou?"

Allenu shook his head, "The other party has made two shots, and the positions of the two times are different, I can only estimate the approximate range, and the exact location is unpredictable." "The most important thing is that neither of them dares to step into the range of the other's fire.

Tuoba Xun could only give up his original plan and said instead, "Uncle Huang, I want to send a team of five hundred people to rob and kill the Pingzhou Yunyin team. ”

He wants everyone in Dali to know that the things of their Xianbei Royal Court are not so easy to take.

He noticed that Lu Desheng had only sent three hundred people to escort the gold, silver and jewels back. They selected five hundred excellent Xianbei soldiers, which was enough to clean up each other.

"The Seventh Prince is still in the hands of the other party." This is Tuoba Yu's concern, what if Lu Desheng finds out that he let the batch of gold and silver transported back to Liaoxi County be robbed, and in a fit of anger, what should he do to Tuoba Lian?

"Uncle Huang can rest assured, this operation will not leave a living mouth. Early tomorrow morning, the general sent by Lu Desheng to take over Youzhou should send someone back to inform him of the results, and ensure that he will not notice that the gold and silver have been robbed. ”

Tuoba Yu thought about it, this is operable, and agreed.

Tuoba Jin pleaded, "Big brother, leave this matter to me!" ”

At this time, Tuoba Jin was furious, because of him, their Xianbei royal court was extorted by Lu Desheng for a million stone of grain gold and silver, although these gold and silver were from the seventh brother, he was still angry.

Tuoba Yu looked at the two nephews with satisfaction, no matter how they argued, when they encountered big things, the brothers worked together, which was good.

Tuoba Tour: "Okay, I'll leave it to you." The road from Pinggang to Wencheng County is not long, remember, you must fight quickly. ”

Tuoba Gold should be down.

"Arennu, you go with you."

"No!"

"Pay attention to the direction of Wencheng County, Pingzhou may send someone to meet them."

"Big brother, don't worry."

Tuoba Patrol was very cautious, he ordered people to pay attention to the movements of the Pingzhou army diagonally opposite, and if there was any movement from the other side, he would immediately send troops to support Tuoba Jin.

Tuoba Patrol was already very cautious, but he never expected that there was a Pingzhou army hidden near here.

Qin Sheng is also taking people to gnaw on dry food. The water could only be drunk raw, and for the sake of concealment, they could not make a fire.

Chen Jinlong lowered his voice and urged everyone, "Everyone hurry up and eat, eat well and work." The voice could not hide the excitement.

The others nodded their heads like pounded garlic and ate in large gulps, afraid of falling behind.

Mother, they followed the sixth master out to work, thinking that they were just working ordinarily, but they didn't expect them to rebel strongly in Pingzhou? !

They are the leaders of the bandits, and they don't have a good impression of the Dali court, but Lord Lu is the opposite, and they will only feel excited, not afraid.

At this time, they were very excited, like pie in the sky.

"Finished eating?" Qin Sheng asked.

"Eat!"

"When you're ready to work, you're ready to work." With that, he got up.

Chen Jinlong, Gao Lei, Ding Hansheng, Yan Tianqing and others also got up.

Work hard, they love to work! If you work, you will have military merits, and you may not be able to pay homage to the prime minister in the future!

Suddenly, Chen Jinlong, Gao Lei and others only felt that the future was bright.

Pinggang was on the way to Wencheng County, and it was a good night tonight, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.

Ma Jin escorted the batch of gold and silver with three hundred soldiers at a normal pace, and talked to his deputy from time to time.

He thought to himself, further on, into their ambush. It's best if no one comes to Xianbei tonight, if someone comes to rob and kill them, their team of people and horses will cooperate with the sixth master, and they will let the other party come and go!
