It was already late at night when Wu Que returned to the city. He knew that things were urgent, so he came to Yang Qing's public housing without stopping after he came back.

He had sent someone to inform Yang Qing in advance that he would rush back overnight, so Yang Qing and Yang Xi never slept, and both waited in the public room.

"Mr., Que has already figured out the movements of the barbarians." As soon as Wu Que entered the door, he hurriedly reported. Seeing that he was exhausted and looked tired, Yang Qing immediately asked him to sit down and take a tea break before talking.

At this moment, Yang Qing was no longer anxious and sat quietly in the main seat, waiting for Wu Que to say slowly.

"The Master of the Fu, the detailed work sent to Qiongdu and Xindao sent back the news. Gao Ding has sent Li Qiucheng, the guy who led 500 cavalry to gather in Xindao County, preparing to come north to rob." Wu Que felt much more refreshed after drinking tea, and then reported.

"Just robbery?" Yang Qing touched his chin, thought for a while and asked again: "Will there be any troops from the Yi people come up to An in the future?"

"No, except for these hundreds of cavalry, Qiongdu, there were no signs of other barbarian troops being dispatched in the Beishui line."

Oh, that's strange.

Yang Qing originally thought that Gao Ding was preparing to set up a large army to attack and launch. The hundreds of cavalry were vanguards, but unexpectedly there were only these five hundred people.

Is it just a robbery?

"Can you find out the intention of this Gaochang army?" Unable to figure out, Yang Qing simply continued to ask.

"The works of Qiongdu are all low-ranking people and cannot explore the intention of Qing Gaoding." Wu Que said with some frustration: "I only know that Gaoding heard that the Lord of the Mansion had solved the danger of insufficient food in the city. In order to deal with this matter, he summoned his trusted generals to discuss it. This time the Qiang people sent troops to the event happened after this discussion."

Hearing this, Yang Qing stood up and looked at Yang Xi beside him. Seeing that he was lowering his head and pondering, he must have been thinking about the intention of Gaoding, and then asked: "Wenran, what do you think of Gaoding's intention to send troops?"

Yang Xi looked up and bowed and replied, "Mr., according to Wu Que's words, Xi thought that Gao Chang sent troops to rob and consumed our people's strength and material resources in order to prepare for the official attack in the future."

"Oh, according to your opinion, is this a pre-designed move?"

Yang Xi nodded and said, "According to the current situation, this should be the case."

"Okay, the night is already deep, you two must be very tired." Yang Qing smiled and said, "In this way, you two will go back and rest first, and we will discuss ways to deal with it tomorrow morning."

Yang Xi and Wu Que said he had said that they had retreated, but Yang Qing blew out the candlelight and made the room dark. He came to the window with the starlight, while admiring the charming night outside the window, while thinking about the robbery of the Yi soldiers.

It was not until Mulan came in with a lantern to call him, and then she went back to rest.

Early the next morning, Yang Qing wanted to summon county officials to discuss the way to deal with the plunder of the barbarians, but he got bad news. The barbarian cavalry had already divided into three groups to plunder in the south of Anshang, and the people were in danger and were deeply harmed.

Yang Qing said with a serious expression: "Everyone, Wen Ran has already reported on the invasion of the Yi soldiers. Let's talk about how to deal with it?"

Everyone in the hall was surprised to hear the sword and war. At this moment, when the prefect asked a question, they all thought it was really difficult to deal with this matter.

If the Souyi army attacked and rebelled, it would be fine. It would be enough to just hold on to the city. Gaoding only sent hundreds of cavalry to plunder everywhere, but it would be difficult to deal with it.

The cavalry came and went without a trace, and the infantry could not pursue him. They had to wait for him to attack him or look for an opportunity to surround him. But this opportunity will definitely not be given to you easily. Isn’t it beautiful if someone robs him and runs away after he finishes it?

As for using cavalry to attack, there is no need to mention. There are only about 200 cavalry in the city, and it is impossible to win with less at this moment, so we have to find another method.

"Mr. Fu, please lead the army to attack and annihilate the rebels." Zhang Yi was the first to clasp his fists excitedly and said.

As the chief general of the county soldiers, he naturally hoped to go out of the city to fight a war, not only to fulfill his duties of protecting the country and safeguarding the people, but also to fight on the field and live up to the status of a soldier.

What's more, the leader of the Yi army has been found to be the damn Li Qiucheng. In order to avenge his good friend Gong Lu's blood hatred, Zhang Yi even wanted to lead his troops.

Now he was already impatient. When he heard that the enemy general was Li Qiucheng, he was even secretly happy. How could he miss such a good opportunity to take revenge?

"The courage is commendable, and the morale of the army is available." Yang Qing saw that his confidant general came out to ask for his first time, nodded and praised, and said, "There must be a military force to send troops, but the number of troops is sent, and we still have to carefully consider it."

Everyone also understood this principle. If there were fewer troops, it would definitely not work. These were five hundred cavalrymen, and at least more than twice the force had to be used to have a chance of winning.

But it won’t work if you go out too much. If you are sure that the thief will send a large army to attack An Shang County, it will be over.

"Mr. I am humble to think that we must send more than a thousand troops to be sure to defeat the barbarians." Wang Yi said.

"Wang Gongcao is right." Lu Shen said anxiously, "Mr., saving the people is like putting out fires. Please order troops as soon as possible."

He was the county magistrate of An Shang, the parents of the people who were suffering, and had direct responsibility to defend the territory, so Lu Shen was also anxious at this moment.

"Mr. Lu County, please sit down. There are many things to prepare for sending troops. We must prepare all the equipment, food, grass and other military resources. How can we do it immediately?" Huo Jian, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "The emperor of the government is wise and good at making decisions, and he has his own reasons. We just need to obey the orders."

When Yang Qing saw him speak, his face remained silent and nodded.

Seeing that the prefect agreed with him, Huo Jian continued, "Mr., there is another thing. Two days later, the day of the army competition that was previously scheduled. Now the war is on the rise, and I wonder if it will be held."

When Yang Qing heard this, he thought that this was indeed a problem. Huo Jian said this correctly. This guy said this, but he was in line with his identity as a military officer.

By the way, Gao Ding sent troops to cause trouble, it is impossible not to contact Huo Jian to obtain information. This time, we have to pay close attention to the movements of this person.

"Huo Bingcao's words are reasonable." Yang Qing nodded and said, "Since the war is urgent, the army's competition will be held in advance until tomorrow morning. After the competition is completed, we will directly order troops to attack in the afternoon."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Soldiers are very fast. We have one day to prepare for the military resources to go to war. I hope you all will work together."

When everyone heard this, they dared not to obey orders, and then claimed that they were.

Seeing that the prefect had decided to send troops, Zhang Yi immediately clasped his fists and said, "Mr., the matter is urgent. Please go back to the camp first. I will lead the troops to fight tomorrow."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yang Qing quickly shouted: "Boqi, wait a minute, the matter of the chief general needs to be discussed again, or you don't need to lead the troops."

"This..." Zhang Yi was a little confused and said in confusion: "Mr. As the chief general of the county soldiers, I should go to the position of humbleness."

Yang Qing knew that he was eager to take revenge and was about to explain, but Huo Jian interrupted, "Sima Zhang is such a bad word. Although you are the commander of the county soldiers, the Duke is the commander of the army. This time the rebels attacked, maybe Gao Ding's guy has a backup plan. If he sends people to rescue Li Qiucheng, how should he deal with it? It is difficult for our subordinates to judge the benefits, so Jian thought it would be better for the Duke to lead the troops to attack in person."

I have to say that the spy Huo Jian made a real sense. He guessed Yang Qing’s thoughts correctly, which made Yang Qing feel a little appreciative of him.

Yang Qing said: "What Huo Bingcao said is exactly what I am worried about. I will consider the matter of the lord and general. When I order the troops tomorrow, who will be the lord and general will be revealed. You will retreat first and speed up the preparation of military resources."

"The people are suffering, and I am really uneasy." After giving the order, Yang Qing blamed himself again.

Yang Xi advised: "Don't blame yourself, our troops can be considered as quick and timely."

"Forget it, then let's suffer the people more and I will bear the blame."

When everyone heard this, they said that the prefect was benevolent, righteous and loving the people, and they all expressed that they would do everything they should quickly prepare after going on.

Seeing this, Yang Qing couldn't help but smile in his heart, saying that this sentence was used here, but it had a good effect.
