"Mysterious man?"

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. If all the gold of the White Lotus Sect was not in her hands, she would have thought that it was the White Lotus Sect that was secretly sending military pay to Beiyan.

She said thoughtfully: "Someone wants to start a war between Da Zhou and Bei Yan? What's the purpose? To benefit from the conflict between the snipe and the clam?"

Su Mo nodded: "Don't rule out this possibility."

Su Xiaoxiao pondered: "Beiyan kept it a secret so well. We all thought that Beiyan was so bold because it had clung to the Western Jin Dynasty. But if it has lasted for two years, then it has nothing to do with it. No, it is related. In order to conceal the truth, they deliberately acted like they were clinging to the Western Jin Dynasty, trying to please the Western Jin emperor and sending a princess from Beiyan to marry the Western Jin Dynasty. They made us think that Beiyan was strong because the Western Jin Dynasty was backing them up."

In this way, everything Beiyan did can be traced.

Su Mo paused and said, "It is true that they want to conceal the origin of their wealth, and it is also true that they want to rely on the big tree of Western Jin. Beiyan probably also understands that what they are doing is courting disaster. After they have dealt with the Great Zhou, in order to prevent the other side from counterattacking, they will first pull the Western Jin into their camp."

"Why can't it be the Western Jin Dynasty?" Qin Canglan.

"That's possible." Su Mo looked at his sister, "You have met the Emperor of Western Jin, what kind of person is he?"

Su Xiaoxiao recalled and shook her head: "I can't see through it, I just know that he is a person who cherishes talent. I don't think it will be the Western Jin Dynasty. Wei Qing is a counselor of the Western Jin Dynasty. The actions of the Western Jin Dynasty cannot be hidden from him. He will not provide financial support to Northern Yan."

Su Mo nodded: "No matter what, Beiyan's evil ambitions must be eliminated."

Su Xiaoxiao agreed with this point very much.

Beiyan killed so many men from the Wei family, murdered so many soldiers of the Great Zhou, burned, killed and looted countless civilians on the border. All these accounts must be settled!

Qin Canglan looked at Su Mo: "You said you found two pieces of information. What is the second piece of information?"

Su Mo said seriously: "Helian Ye has assembled an army of 100,000 in Fengcheng."

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "Didn't Helian Ye go to Wuzhen? We heard it with our own ears that night."

Su Mo said: "Wuzhen is fake news released by Helian Ye. There is indeed a Helian Ye there, but he is a substitute arranged by him."

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "Is Wei Ting going to come up empty-handed? If there are 100,000 troops, will Shattering the North Pass be in trouble?"

Su Mo would unconsciously lower his voice when talking to her: "Speaking of this, there is good news. Heavy snow has blocked the mountains outside Fengcheng, blocking the way of the 100,000-strong army. They can't come to Suibei Pass for the time being."

Qin Canglan took out the map and spread it out on the table.

He pointed to a forest outside the south gate of Wengcheng. "Beiyan has set up camp here. Now the commander of Beiyan is Tuoba Lie. He brought 100,000 troops, 20,000 of which were besieged Zibo Town a few days ago. 10,000 were killed by the small Red Shadow Army, and there are more than 8,000 left who fled. These 8,000 troops and Tuoba Lie's troops will make an army of 90,000. If you count Helian Ye's troops... that's almost 200,000 troops."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the map and asked, "Grandfather, how many troops do we have?"

Qin Canglan said, "Your Red Shadow Army has 10,000 soldiers. Including Mo'er's troops in Zibo Town, there are 10,000 in total. Add the 20,000 Qin Family Army that will be coming soon, and there are 40,000 in total."

Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "How many troops does Leng Kui have?"

Qin Canglan frowned and said, "Fifty thousand, but he can't be counted on. He won't take the initiative to go to war with Beiyan."

It’s good enough that Leng Kui didn’t turn around and attack his own people.

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and said with a chuckle, "The upper beam is crooked, and the lower beam is crooked. Emperor Jingxuan is also like this. He is as ruthless to the Nanyang King's family as he is to Beiyan."

"Grand Marshal!"

Liu Renlue's somewhat anxious voice was heard outside the tent.

"Come in." Qin Canglan said.

Liu Ren entered with a small note, bowed to the three people, and came to Qin Canglan, saying with a complicated expression: "I just received a letter from a carrier pigeon that the Qin army encountered an avalanche near Jia County."

"What are the casualties?" Qin Canglan asked.

Liu Ren said: "General Tong Ke discovered it in time and led the army to evacuate. There were not many casualties. General Tong Ke himself was slightly injured while trying to save his horse."

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Do they have anything to eat?"

Liu Ren was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, I brought food and fodder."

Liu Ren handed Qin Canglan the note sent by Qin's army via carrier pigeon.

After reading it, Qin Canglan gave it to Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mo.

After reading it, they both fell silent.

Just now they were still rejoicing that Helian Ye's army was trapped in the mountains and couldn't get out, but now their reinforcements were also blocked by heavy snow. It really made people at a loss as to what to say.

Qin Canglan looked at the map again: "Our plan needs to change."

We can't just sit and wait for the Qin family army to come, because Helian Ye's 100,000 troops are also trying to get out of the mountains. Maybe before the Qin family army arrives, Helian Ye's 100,000 troops will arrive first.

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the Wengcheng on the map and said, "The only one with troops now is Leng Kui."

Qin Canglan nodded: "We can only seize Leng Kui's troops."

These troops are not so easy to seize, after all, they are Leng Kui's direct subordinates. But no matter how difficult it is, we have to seize them. Life and death are in front of us, and the people are behind us. We cannot become straw dogs of Northern Yan.

"Xiao Xiao, your Red Shadow Army will be the main force against Leng Kui. You will follow me to Wengcheng later."

"good!"

"Liu Ren, I will leave you 6,000 troops to defend Zibo Town."

"yes!"

"Mo'er, who between you and Jing Yi is going to Jia County?"

Jing Yi walked in: "Su Mo, go."

Su Mo: "Scissors, rock-paper-scissors?"

Su Mo lost.

Su Mo looked at Qin Canglan with resentment: "Grandfather, why don't you go to Jia County?"

He wanted to attack Lengkui with his sister.

Qin Canglan: “…”

In the end, Wuhu, a working bird, was forced to fly to Jiaxian County.

The Five Tigers were furious and flapped their little wings until smoke came out.

I may not be a human, but you guys are real dogs!

Leng Kui was not trustworthy. In order to prevent him from colluding with Bei Yan, Qin Canglan and Su Mo took 4,000 troops and took a detour to the south gate of Wengcheng, ambushing in the valleys on both sides.

The Northern Yan army was stationed ten miles away.

Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Yi led 10,000 Red Shadow soldiers to the city and knocked on the east gate of the city.

"Who is coming?"

On the city wall, archers aimed their bows at Su Xiaoxiao's army.

Su Xiaoxiao rode on a steed, the cold wind blowing on her eyebrows, her expression was as calm as snow: "I want to see Leng Kui."

The guard who had just spoken sneered, "Who do you think you are? How dare you address the general by his name! You are the rebels from Wancheng, right? Su Mo is such a coward! He can't even wipe out a bunch of rebels who have become bandits! Well! You have fallen into the hands of my brothers today, and your good days are over! Come on! Shoot arrows!"

At his command, arrows rained down from the sky like a waterfall, shooting towards Su Xiaoxiao's Chiying army.

However, just as they were about to shoot the army into hedgehogs, the army raised their shields in a well-trained manner. Their uniform movements seemed as if they had practiced them hundreds or thousands of times. In just a moment, they formed an unbreakable iron wall.

Clang clang clang! The rain of arrows fell on the shields, making a clanging sound, but the army under the shields was unharmed.

The guard was stunned.

How could there be such a terrible defense? Not a single arrow hit the target? Wei Xun shouted provocatively: "Thank you for borrowing the arrows! I was just worried that I had no arrows to use!"

The guard was shocked and pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Shoot her! Shoot her! I'll do it myself!"

He snatched a soldier's bow and arrow and pulled the bow to its full length at Su Xiaoxiao.

However, before he could even release the bowstring, Jing Yi flew up, picked up a spear in a soldier's hand with his toes, caught it in mid-air with his bare hands, flipped in the air, and shot at the guard, piercing him and nailing him to the wall behind him!

Babies, remember to vote for the soldiers (military pay), see you tomorrow.
