How many people do he have under his command?" Yan Xiao replied: "For Liu Shuai, Mr. Yang has many people under his command. There are Han troops, and there are only Jin troops outside the city. Among them, there are only Jurchen elites. The rest are Khitan and Han people. Only people can actually fight, and the remaining are temporarily recruited. Farmers, five thousand of the ten thousand people in Lord Yang's hands are veterans who can fight, and the remaining five thousand are temporarily recruited farmers." Liu Qi pointed to the sand table in the room and said: "A certain person has sent five thousand elite cavalry under his command. The ship landed a hundred miles behind you and will raid the Jin camp from the rear tomorrow night. Once the cavalry succeeds, our troops will go out of the city and attack the Jin camp from the front and rear with the cavalry." Yan Xiao asked: "Then what does Liu Shuai need from us?" Liu Qi said: "Our army will start taking action at : tomorrow night. At that time, you can send people in the camp to create chaos to facilitate our army's raid on Jin Camp.

Yan Xiao cupped his fists and said: "Okay, Liu Shuai, I Go back and tell Mr. Yang." After Yan Xiao returned, he told Yang Yun everything. Yang Yun nodded and said, "Okay, you arrange for someone to secretly set a fire in the camp at Hai hour tomorrow night, and invite Xiao tomorrow night.

After Yan Xiao went down, he quickly told the few A leader called over, and Yang Yun saw him a few times: "Everyone, please sit down first. Let's take our time when we sit down." After everyone sat down, Yang Yun said: "You are all old subordinates who have followed a certain person from the south to this Liao land for more than years.

According to Commander Zhao's wishes, a certain person will return to Dajin after tomorrow and continue to lurk. However, Commander Zhao has no restrictions on you. That is to say, after tomorrow, you will still have people below you who can choose to stay or stay voluntarily. Commander Zhao will do this. It is also considering that you have not seen your family for years since you came out. You have worked hard in the past years and it is time to go back and take a look.
