The night shrouded the Wumang Mountains, it was so dark that no stars could be seen, only the evening wind whistled in the mountains and forests.

But when you look beyond the towering peaks to the back of the mountain, you will find that there are so many military camps here that you can't even see them.

Military camps, the mountains are full of military camps, and there are countless soldiers coming and going.

I don’t know if they are deliberately hiding their whereabouts, but there are so many military camps, but only a few of them are lit with fires, emitting a faint light in the night.

The flags of the Yan State stood upright in the darkness, fluttering continuously, with a murderous look.

No one knows why a large Yan army appeared outside the Pinghan Pass where there was no fighting.

A conspiracy and intrigue shrouded the northern land.

In the handsome tent in the center of the camp, there were a few figures standing.

Zhou Weiran, the king of Dongting, Nalan Tingye, prime minister of Dongting, and Wanyanbi, the marshal of Dongting troops and horses.

In a huge east courtyard, all three top powerful figures were present.

They were not at Jiuxiao City, the capital of Dongting, nor at the front line of Luoyun City in Liaodong where a fierce battle was breaking out, but they appeared here.

Pinghan Road border!

The three of them gathered around the map, discussing something in low voices.

Nalan Tingye, who was born as a scholar, has a temperament that is completely different from that of the prairie people, exactly like his father who was the patriarch.

Gentle and elegant.

Zhou Weiran and Wanyanbi were warriors after all, and the expressions on their faces were much sharper.

Zhou Weiran pointed to the location of Wumang Mountain and said, "All the armies participating in the battle are here~"

Wanyanbi nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Forty thousand elite infantry have already camped in the mountains. The yellow-backed silver fox flag and the yellow-backed silver falcon flag total 60,000 cavalry. They will stay ten miles north of Wumang Mountain and can march southward at any time."

The Eight Banners of Great Yan, the Six Banners in the Grassland, and the Two Banners in Dongting, were all transferred here. Who would have thought that the Yan Army quietly gathered a hundred thousand elite troops at the Pinghan border.

Shouldn't all their main forces be gathered in Liaodong?

Nalan Tingye narrowed his eyes slightly: "General Wanyan's movements are quite fast.

But are the Chang family really not aware of such a large-scale mobilization of troops and horses?"

Zhou Weiran raised the corner of his mouth and said coldly:

"Even the generals don't know about the news that our army is about to attack Pinghan Road. How could the Chang family know?

The elite scouts of Dongting have long been scattered all over the front line of Wumang Mountain. The scouts sent by the Chang family will kill one by one and there is no way they can pass the information back.

Besides, His Majesty personally conquered Beiliang with great fanfare and great power, and all the attention of the world was focused on outside Beiliang Pass. Who would notice the movements of Pinghan Road?"

Zhou Weiran's face had a cunning smile as if his conspiracy had succeeded, as well as a deep disdain for the Chang family in the north.

That's right, one hundred thousand elite Yan troops are about to light a beacon on Pinghan Road!

When Mu Yun Canglan summoned his ministers to discuss the plan to conquer Liang, Zhou Weiran traveled thousands of miles to meet with Mu Yun Canglan alone and proposed a plan to invade the Central Plains from Pinghan Road.

They discussed it in the tent for a long time that day, and Zhou Weiran's strategy finally got Mu Yun Canglan's approval.

Moreover, only Zhou Weiran and Muyun Canglan knew about this matter. Even Wanyanbi and Nalan Tingye only received Muyun Canglan's imperial edict half a month ago. There was only one sentence in the edict:

The Pinghan War is under full command of Zhou Weiran!

Emperor Dayan can be said to have given Zhou Weiran enough power and trust.

Not long ago, Zhou Weiran secretly ordered the Yan army outside Liaodong to retreat one after another and rushed to Pinghan Road. At the same time, a group of new soldiers were replaced, so that the Liang army could not see any changes.

It can be said to be well thought out.

Nalan Tingye seemed to praise with a hint of approval: "Your Majesty, you are so far-sighted that you managed to hide such a major event from both of us.

Awesome~"

Zhou Weiran smiled bitterly and said: "This matter is of great importance. Your Majesty asked me not to disclose it to anyone. I am helpless~"

Zhou Weiran couldn't hear Nalan Tingye's dissatisfaction, so he just pretended to be stupid.

"Haha~" Nalan Tingye smiled slightly but said nothing.

You've already moved the emperor out, what else is there to say?

At this moment, a burly military man strode into the room and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, the rangers captured a captain of the Chang family's side riding team. Do you want to meet him?"

"Hmm, Pinghan border army?" Zhou Weiran raised his eyebrows slightly, waved his hand and said:

"Bring it in! This is a rare thing to catch alive."

"promise!"

Soon, the bearded commander was escorted in by several vicious soldiers, who forced him to kneel on the ground with his head pressed down.

In fact, this commander can be regarded as a tough soldier in the army, the kind who can endure being stabbed without saying a word.

But at this moment, his face was full of shock and fear, and his eyes were glassy.

Because on the way to the camp, he saw tens of thousands of Yan troops, as well as countless military supplies, war horses and logistics.

Why?

Why are they here?

There is only one answer.

The Yan army is going to attack Pinghan Road! But no one can pass this news back.

Zhou Weiran glanced at the pale commander and asked casually:

"Chang family?"

The director didn't say anything, he just gritted his teeth in anger.

"Going out on patrol to find out the movements of our troops?"

There was still silence in the military tent.

Several soldiers around him frowned. If Zhou Weiran hadn't given the order, they would have wanted to slap the commander to death.

Zhou Weiran didn't mind at all and continued:

"Ask you a question, the answer can save your life.

Are you coming from Yanxing Pass? How many defenders are there at Yanxing Pass?"

Yanxing Pass is the first pass standing on the border of Hanzhou, and its location is extremely important.

The confusion in the eyes of the bearded man with a long face gradually disappeared, and turned into a fierce one, and he said calmly:

"Just kill me!"

"Haha~"

Zhou Weiran suddenly laughed out loud, looked up into Biao Zhang's eyes, and said softly:

"I'll tell you.

The original garrison of Yanxing Pass was 30,000, but 10,000 cavalry were mobilized half a month ago, and 5,000 infantry were mobilized ten days ago.

Currently, this important city in Hanzhou only has fifteen thousand defenders.

I can also tell you that your Pinghan Dao Jiedushi Chang Jing'an has quietly returned to Hanzhou in the past few days and is not on the front line.

Am i right?"

The bearded man had a dull look on his face and shouted in disbelief:

"You, who on earth are you! Who on earth are you!"

He was just a small commander, and he knew very little about the secrets of the army, but as far as he knew, Zhou Weiran was right in everything.

How could the enemy know about such an important matter, such as the deployment of troops at an important border area?

The commander was trembling all over.

There is a traitor!

"Haha." Zhou Weiran smiled, waved and said:

"Kill it~"

Several soldiers laughed ferociously and immediately dragged the commander out.

Just when he was about to be dragged out of the camp, Zhou Weiran said another sentence:

"By the way, let me tell you before you die.
Chapter completed!
