Li Ping shrugged and said, "I'm afraid that's the case."

…

At dusk that day, a group of six to seven hundred men and women on horseback suddenly appeared in the mountains north of Qizhou, covered in dust.

Judging from the fact that they have been deliberately hiding their whereabouts and composition, they are not Zuo Liangyu's soldiers, nor are they the soldiers of any official army.

"Captain Qin, after leaving the mountain, Qizhou is not far away. There should be General Li Ping and Li's troops in the city." A middle-aged man who did not look like a soldier said to the scarred-faced man who led the group.

But at this time, Scarface's eyes kept wandering, as if he hesitated at the last moment, unable to make up his mind.

No one urged the hundreds of men and women behind him, and no one dismounted. They just waited quietly for Scarface's decision. They were also not determined.

After a long time, Scarface looked back at everyone's tired eyes, and finally said in a deep voice: "I hope General Li's name is not blown out, and I hope our choice is right."

Note:

Historically, it was Wu Xueli's 5,000 men who were sent by Zuo Liangyu to Yuanzhou to quell the Qiu Yanghuan uprising. Wu Xueli's army had extremely poor military discipline, which aroused great anger among the local people.
