Chu Tong knew that Wei Hong had deliberately arranged these five thousand troops for Chu Yongqi. After all, Wei Hong was Chu Yongqi's man. What he didn't expect was that all five thousand troops could be arranged by Chu Yongqi. In the Qianfu camp under Qi's command, there are 1,000 men and 5,000 men. This is not just a difference in numbers. Even if the 1,000 men are all elite soldiers and generals, they are only 1,000 men. But 5,000 men and horses, if used properly, will have a huge impact. The power is no less than ten thousand soldiers and horses.

Before the war even started, he was already lagging behind Chu Yongqi, but now he had no other choice but to worry.

"To be more precise, Chu Yongqi has a total of 5,000 bodyguards in the hands of Deputy General Liu. In addition, plus 1,000 troops from the Huwei Army, there are a total of 6,000 people."

Zhou Daozi stroked the beard under his chin and added something, which made Chu Chang, who was already worried, even more depressed.

Chu Fang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and secretly felt fierce in his heart. When the battle began to go all out, it would not matter if Chu Yongqi had 3,000 more troops than him. He was now the vanguard. As long as he survived, it would be a great achievement. No worse than Chu Yongqi.

On the other side, the Su family camp.

Su Zhenyuan returned to the commander's tent. He put aside his daughter's matters for the time being and fixed his eyes on the sand table in front of him. The third prince of Xiqi had arrived at Nanlinguan. A war could break out at any time, so he had to be extremely careful.

"General, the third prince of Xiqi has just led most of his troops to Nanlin Pass. After a long journey, the army must be exhausted. It is likely that they are repairing outside Nanlin Pass. In my humble opinion, let's take a surprise tonight and launch an attack on Nanlin Pass. The attack will definitely catch Xiqi off guard, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to recapture Nanlinguan."

Su Jiajun's deputy general, Zheng Yun, suggested.

"Old Zheng, you take it too much for granted. Do you think that all the fools in Xiqi are waiting for us to fight without any preparation? Don't forget that Nanlin Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The eight thousand troops under that boy Aguda are... They have been stationed in Nanlin Pass. As long as they resist a little, they will be able to delay us. When the Xiqi Iron Cavalry launches a charge, we, with our flesh and blood, cannot stop it at all."

As soon as Zheng Yun finished speaking, Su Zhenyuan had not yet spoken. Zhao Fei, another lieutenant with a beard on his face and a burgundy nose, retorted.

"That's true, but how do you know if you don't try?"

Zheng Yun is still determined. In his opinion, taking action tonight is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

"No need to try, I, Lao Zhao, put my words here today. If A Gu hits that kid without any defense and you succeed so easily, I will chop off his head and use it as a chamber pot for you."

Zhao Fei crossed his arms and raised his voice.

"You look like this. I'd be afraid of being a chamber pot."

Zheng Yun complained mercilessly to the old buddy in front of him.

Zhao Fei was not angry either. He smiled very freely and counterattacked: "How can you be better than me if you are like that? Do you know why I try not to look too far every time I come here? It's because you are too ugly and I'm afraid that I will turn my head away." Spit out the food you eat.”

The originally serious and oppressive atmosphere suddenly returned to its previous relaxed state after being coaxed together like this.

Su Zhenyuan slapped each of them, glared at the two of them, and scolded them with a smile: "You two are so incompetent, don't criticize anyone, just be serious!"

"Yes!"

Zheng Yun, Zhao Fei and the others stopped joking and returned to their serious appearance.

"Xiqi's most powerful force is the cavalry. This time, the third prince has brought a total of 30,000 cavalry. If we sneak into Nanlinguan to fight with Xiqi, once the cavalry launches a counterattack, I'm afraid our brothers will suffer heavy casualties. , so the most appropriate thing is to sit back and wait for work, let’s stay safe and wait for Xiqi to invade!”

Su Zhenyuan clasped his hands behind his back and kept his gaze on the sand table. Although the Su family army had a hand crossbow camp and did not have to worry too much about Xiqi's 30,000 cavalry, the hand crossbow was after all a trump card and must be used at critical moments.

"General, how long should we wait? What if those bastards from Xiqi stay in Nanlinguan for three to five days? Could it be that we just keep waiting?"

Zheng Yun frowned and asked in confusion.

"Don't worry, Xiqi can't wait that long!"

Su Zhenyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a deep smile flashed across his eyes. Zheng Yun, Zhao Fei and the others were confused. They didn't know what their general meant by what they said. They just saw that their general was confident and inexplicable. Believe it too.

On the other side, it faces the pass to the south.

The third prince hugged two beautiful concubines on his left and right, turning a blind eye to Te'ao, Aguda, Hama and the others on both sides. He raised and lowered his hands in front of the two beautiful concubines. When he got interested, he even tore open the concubine's clothes. An erotic scene was staged in front of everyone.

Everyone has long been accustomed to this, eating and drinking when they should, without any impact.

Teo sat on the left hand side of the third prince. Although there were two newly rewarded concubines beside him, he had no intention of teasing him. Although the third prince did not blame him for this failure, he had never known him before. He learned from his friends that the Holy Emperor was somewhat dissatisfied with this matter, and some people in the court also suspected that he did not escape from the Su Family Army Camp, but saved his life because he promised some benefits to Su Zhenyuan.

Fortunately, there has been no evidence, and the third prince is supporting him, so no one is embarrassing him because of this matter for the time being. However, people without long-term worries must have immediate worries. For now, he can still rely on the third prince, but if one day , he lost the favor of the third prince?

Thinking of this, Te'ao's heart trembled. He thought about it and decided to give it a try. He immediately put down his wine glass, stood up and walked out of the queue, bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, I have something to say!"

"Theo, didn't you see that the king is busy?"

The third prince pushed away the beautiful concubine who was lying on the ground, covered in sweat, and was about to take the second concubine to continue the expedition. When he heard Te'o's words, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his face.

"Your Highness, Te'ao sincerely asks Your Highness to give an order to allow me to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack the Su family's army camp!"

Theo knelt on one knee and lowered his head respectfully.

"Oh? Ten thousand troops?"

The third prince let go of the second concubine, sat on the main seat, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp. There was a flash of thought in his eyes: "Give me a reason!"

"Your Highness, I am the only person who has broken into the Su family camp and escaped unharmed. I have memorized all the layout of the Su family camp. As long as Your Highness allows you to have 10,000 cavalry, I will definitely be able to Capture Su Zhenyuan alive and deliver Su Zhenyuan to His Highness!"

Te'ao took a deep breath, made up his mind, and decided to make a big bet. If the bet was right, he would not only be able to get out of the predicament in front of him, but he could also soar into the sky, completely trample Aguda under his feet, and sit firmly for three years. The position of the prince’s number one confidant!
