Chapter 1200
Hearing the voices of servants and soldiers saluting to Bai Qing outside, the secret guard team rushed to stand up, but was stopped by the military doctor who was administering medicine to him: "Don't move!"
The secret guard team sat back again, and said to the military doctor in a good voice: "Your Majesty is here! You must be asking me about the Xiliang army. It is not suitable for me to be naked here..."
"It will be ready soon!" The military doctor slowly spread the ointment on the muslin cloth, and then pressed it on the shoulder of the Bai family's secret guard team leader, the pain caused the team leader to gasp.
Before Bai Qingyan entered the house, the officers and soldiers who patrolled the city and went door to door came to report, saying...the team patrolling the city found that they were wearing the battle armor of the Great Zhou Army, but they failed to give the correct password, and were arrested by the soldiers of the Great Zhou , after killing two of them for show and interrogation, I knew that they were ordered by the old General Cui Shanzhong to mix in among the refugees, exactly the same as what the captured Xiliang soldiers said earlier.
"They don't know how many people the old general Cui Shanzhong sent. It's the same as what the Xiliang soldiers who were sent back before said. They all said that the old general Cui Shanzhong only sent their team into the city! After interrogation... ...We also found that these teams entered the city for different purposes!" said the young general who came to report.
Bai Qingyan's eyes were half downcast: "Have the granary and armory been arranged?"
Liu Pinggao cupped his hands towards Bai Qingyan: "According to His Majesty's instructions, the act of pretending to transfer the granary and weapons has not yet stopped. I think when the transfer is completed, those mice hiding in the dark should obediently throw themselves into the net!"
Bai Qingyan looked up at the dark night, all the preventive measures that Bai Qingyan could think of, Bai Qingyan had already thought of...
"Big girl!" The Bai family's secret guard team staggered out of the door holding on to the door frame, knelt down in front of Bai Qingyan, looked up at Bai Qingyan and said, "Big girl, there are indeed ambushes outside the south gate of the city. As soon as the subordinates got out of the city gate and didn't run far, the horse's legs were broken, and there were quite a few ambushes, and they looked like they were waiting for the eldest girl to leave the city!"
Master Liu Ping tightened his grip, and it was exactly as Bai Qingyan expected. The reason why Old General Cui didn't have Xiliang soldiers to surround the south gate at the beginning was to open a hole for Bai Qingyan to go out from the south gate... Capture Bai Qingyan alive!
At this time, Empress Liu Ping was terrified. If he had really protected Bai Qingyan out of the city, he was afraid that Bai Qingyan would have been captured alive by Xiliang, and his own emperor would have been captured alive. This battle... would not be fought again!
"You've worked hard!" Bai Qingyan helped him up.
"My subordinates have roughly figured out that General Cui brought more than 50,000 troops from Xiliang this time, but they should not be able to keep up with the food and grass. The subordinates heard from those soldiers... It seems that because tonight the city will be besieged. The Xiliang soldiers who set up an ambush outside the south gate managed to eat a full meal!" When the Bai family's secret guard team was in deep trouble, they did not forget to pay attention to inquire about the news, "The soldiers who interrogated and executed were replaced after a few whips. , the strength is not too great, judging from the strength of the whip on the body, it doesn't seem like you are pretending not to eat enough, and the strength cannot be controlled stably after five or six whips."
Liu Pinggao was stunned when he heard this, the secret guard of the Bai family was able to capture such subtle differences to find information when others executed him, this is also... quite remarkable!
It is said that the guards of the Bai family were all retired from the Bai family army. No wonder the former Bai family army was frightening and invincible. If everyone in the Bai family army is such an iron-blooded man, what army can they not defeat?
Bai Qingyan nodded, standing under the swaying sheepskin lantern, blowing his eyelids, looking at the swaying shadows of the red lacquered wooden pillars in the verandah stretched by the shadow of the lamp, he raised his head after a while and asked Liu Pinggao: "When is the next time the food from the Great Zhou will be delivered?" when?"
Liu Pinggao took a step forward and said, "The next delivery of food should be on the 11th of February...the 12th of February at the latest. Your Majesty is worried that the Xiliang army will grab the food!"
Liu Pinggao's heart was also pounding. He clenched the sword around his waist and said to Bai Qing, "At this time, unless we light up the beacon fire to alert for help, otherwise on February 11th... or 12th, the food will be delivered as usual. , isn't this cheap for Xiliang people?"
We can't let the Xiliang soldiers eat the food of their Great Zhou, and then come to besiege their Great Zhou emperor.
Bai Qingyan closed her eyes, thinking carefully: "February 11th...twelfth..."
Since Xiliang is so short of food, even the soldiers who are fighting can't have enough to eat, so they must grab food!
She knew when Da Zhou's food would be delivered next, but Old General Cui didn't know, this was their advantage.
As for General Cui, who was waiting for food now, he had to wait for Bai Qingyan to ignite the smoke and ask for help, so that they could lead their troops to ambush.
Bai Qingyan's hand hidden under the fox fur cloak lightly grasped the jade cicada in his purse, and he had a rough outline of how this battle should be fought in his mind.
She turned to look at Liu Pinggao and said: "Let the patrolling soldiers in the city be more energetic, and they must catch all the hidden soldiers sent in from Xiliang! The soldiers on the city wall don't have to go into battle and patrol in shifts." , Let the soldiers rest well!"
"Your Majesty has a countermeasure in mind?" Liu Pinggao looked at Bai Qingyan's calm expression, and knew that Bai Qingyan had a plan in mind.
Bai Qingyan nodded: "Tell the soldiers that although Old General Cui will not be attacking the city for the time being, they can rest and replenish their energy, but they must not relax their vigilance too much."
"Yes!" Liu Pinggao clasped his fists in response, raised his head and his eyes sparkled, waiting for Bai Qingyan's order to prepare for a surprise attack on the Xiliang Army tonight.
"At least tonight, our soldiers can sleep soundly and soundly!" Bai Qingyan said.
Liu Pinggao was startled: "Your Majesty, doesn't it mean that Your Majesty has no plans to let the soldiers attack the Xiliang barracks tonight?"
Liu Pinggao thought Bai Qingyan said in front of Old General Cui that she would never sit still and take the initiative to fight, and planned to attack the camp, just to let the people of Xiliang think that she did not intend to do so, so she said it, and their Majesty will definitely let them go for a surprise attack tonight Xiliang!
The corners of Bai Qingyan's lips twitched: "Perhaps Old General Cui is the same as you, thinking that I brought up the attack on the camp at night today just to paralyze them, and I will definitely attack the camp tonight! Let them take good care of the Xiliang Army. Zhou's soldiers should all get a good night's sleep, oh... by the way, don't forget... Let each city gate open and close once tonight, there is no need to set a fixed time, so that the skin of Xiliang people will be a little tighter."
"Yes!" Liu Ping responded high.
They all thought that attacking the camp was most suitable at night, but Bai Qingyan wanted to do the opposite. The Da Zhou army made noises at night, but did not attack the camp...Let the Xiliang soldiers be fully alert to sleep well, and then send out small groups during the day The cavalry harassed them, and they couldn't sleep peacefully.
