"So what should we do now?"

"Yue Fei is currently in Zhang Cai's camp; they're all on our side!"

Zhou Can left his words at that, and Ye Liming seemed to understand what to do.

"Commander Xi, I'm afraid I can't touch Yue Fei. It would be a big no-no for me to mobilize troops."

Xi Gong remained silent, but Zhou Can said from the side, "General, this Suzhou is Commander Xi's Suzhou, you can rest assured!"

"I know what to do!"

Zhang Cai was very happy and kept asking Yue Fei questions, but Yue Fei was worried.

He asked, "Who is the commander of the Tangut army, and how many Tangut soldiers are in the city?"

"It is Yeliming. There are 8,000 Dangxiang soldiers, 5,000 barbarian soldiers, and 50,000 Han soldiers from our Great Song Dynasty. All of them are regular border defense troops. There are also 100,000 Xiang troops, who serve as supply and reserve troops. Suzhou is the central hub connecting Xuanhua Prefecture and Xiping Prefecture, so the number of Xiang troops is large."

"Pengju, rest assured, Ye Liming always needs Commander Xi's approval to deploy troops."

It got dark quickly. Because it was the dead of winter, the temperature was very low at night, and there were hardly any people on the streets of Suzhou.

The night sky was clear and cloudless, with stars as beautiful as jade, and the cold moon illuminating the eaves of the Marshal's Mansion.

Groups of Tangut soldiers dressed in black walked down the street without anyone stopping them.

As they passed the commander's mansion, they suddenly stopped, and simultaneously aimed their crossbows at the guards at the gate. In an instant, dozens of arrows shot out, turning the guards at the gate into a honeycomb.

Especially on his face, sharp arrows pierced his eyeballs, causing blood to splatter.
