Liu Lan immediately led the troops to pull out, and rushed to Baibo Valley overnight, but before that, he sent Yan Zhi to go to Pingyang first to investigate the situation there, and then Liu Lan said goodbye to Ji Kang who came to see him off, and asked him to catch up with the troops, after saying that, Liu Lan took the dragoon army to pull out, before getting accurate information, Liu Lan did not dare to rush into the long drive, and kept moving slowly, until noon on the second day, the scout camp Shiren finally returned, and the news brought back was that the white wave thieves were still staying in the Baibo Valley, and there were many people, not to mention that there were 30,000 or 50,000 people, This made Liu Lan full of anxiety about attacking the white wave thieves, with a ratio of 1:10, even if his subordinates were all elite cavalry, this battle would not be easy.

All the way to the north, the cavalry quickly stepped up, and the whole journey was only about 100 miles, and it didn't take long to arrive, but what made Liu Lan unhappy was that Yan Zhi, who was investigating the news of Pingyang, was full of tiredness, and appeared out of breath, knowing that the situation was not good, Liu Lan, who did not let him take a break, asked directly: "Something happened in Pingyang?" ”

"When I went to Binh Duong, I didn't find anything, but on the way back, I found an abnormality, and the white wave thieves moved on a large scale, and the target was directly aimed at Binh Duong." Yan Zhi gasped and said.

"Attacking Pingyang, you can also rule out the possibility of the White Wave Thieves going south to attack Jiangyi and enter Hedong, then their purpose is likely to be to enter the ......" Liu Lan swept on the map, and finally landed on the geographical location of Bingzhou, if that is the case, Zhang Yike will have a headache, no. Liu Lan suddenly exclaimed: If you talk about money and food, going south to Hedong, or entering Sanfu along the west of the river is undoubtedly the best choice, but the white wave thief chose the barren annex state, which is not a wise choice. Unless they want to lay down Taiyuan and Jinyang. ”

"Attacking these two towns with their forces is simply wishful thinking, right? Besides, there are countless towns along the way, unless they all go around one by one. Otherwise, when it arrives in Taiyuan, it will be completely destroyed because of heavy losses. ”

"What if there is an internal response?" Guan Yu interjected at the right time and stroked his long beard. Said: "Otherwise, the explanation is different, Bingzhou is barren, but the combat power of the officers and soldiers defending the city is not weak at all, but the white wave thief has put the fat of Hedong and wants to enter Bingzhou regardless of it, if it is not for the internal response, let them believe that they can get the important town of Bingzhou, they will not be so reckless." ”

"Yun Chang is right, but this is just speculation after all, the first task now is to hold Pingyang firmly and drag the white wave thief to Hexi." After receiving the news that the white wave thieves were attacking Pingyang, Liu Lan took three thousand dragoons and immediately rushed to Pingyang County. Rushing to attack the city and advance to the city, watching the reinforcements that came to the city, the Pingyang County Commander immediately smiled, but when he heard that there were only 3,000 cavalry rushing to the aid and no follow-up reinforcements, the county commander couldn't laugh at anything.

On the way to the council hall, Liu Lan and the county magistrate who choked on the state still vaguely mentioned that he had already written to the Son of Heaven and should send troops soon, so he didn't need to worry about it, and the group arrived at the council hall. They introduced everyone to the people on both sides before they sat together to discuss the matter of dealing with the white wave thieves.

It was the first time for everyone to meet, and it was a bit like when Liu Lan traveled thousands of miles to see Gu'an County, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy and full of haze. However, the county order is not as calm as Liu Lan and his entourage, before Captain Liu said that he had asked the Son of Heaven to send reinforcements, but now what should we do. According to the information I have received, the white wave thieves have already killed me in Pingyang County, and the soldiers will be in the city. Is it possible that I will fight to the death between the soldiers and the rebels in a city?

"Don't worry, don't worry, this war doesn't mean that I just take my brothers up. Military equipment, grain and grass are indispensable, and according to the information I have obtained, this group of Baibo rebels is at least 3-5w people, if we go out of the city to fight, because we received the military situation on this trip too suddenly, the 3,000 rations we carry cannot even last for three days, although when I came, the Jiangyi County Commander was already preparing grain and grass, but it will take at least half a month for them to arrive, and during this time, we can only sit in Pingyang, but sitting in Pingyang is tantamount to sitting and waiting to die. ”

The county magistrate is now anxious, eager to know Liu Lan's method of dealing with the white wave thief, but it seems that this Liu Lan is obviously not easy to fool, but once he takes the lead at this time, it is not a lion's mouth? But now the most important thing is to deal with the white wave thief, if there is any dispute or contradiction because of this matter, it is undoubtedly the worst outcome, the county commander groaned and said: "Captain Liu, our Pingyang is a small county, not as good as Jiangyi, and we can't afford the grain and grass of your department at all, I tell you the truth, I Pingyang can be responsible for three days of rations at most, if it is more, then you are embarrassed for me, you can take care of yourself." The county order was sure that Liu Lan would definitely comply, but he received the order of the Son of Heaven, not to mention that he was now in charge of three days' rations, even if it was one day, he didn't dare to have any ideas, but for the sake of Pingyang, he finally gritted his teeth and responded to his three-day rations.

Liu Lan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the county gentleman, although our brothers are here to deal with the white wave thieves, but now it is for you Pingyang, you must be clear, I have these three thousand people around me now, if there are only two or three days of rations, I think I have to take them back to Jiangyi to raise grain and grass first, maybe when I come back, the white wave thieves have run out of sharpness because of the attack on Pingyang, I can just hit them by surprise." ”

"Captain Liu, how dare you ......" Liu Lan is a naked threat, the angry county order was about to get angry, but Liu Lan took the lead, patted Ai Ji, and stood up: "County Jun, I want my brother to help you guard Pingyang, and I want to not pull out a hair, in a slang sentence, you want the horse to run well and don't want to feed the horse grass, do you know, my three thousand brothers, they all came out of Youzhou with me, since you don't treat them as people, then why should I take you Pingyang seriously, my task is indeed to eliminate the white wave thief." , but it doesn't have to protect you Binh Duong City! ”

"Okay, okay, since that's the case, then you don't have to stay in my Pingyang County, the safety of my Pingyang County has nothing to do with you, send off guests!" The county gentleman roared hysterically, Liu Lan looked at him and snorted coldly: "It seems that we have to think of a foolproof plan, brothers, let's go." ”

The county lieutenant, who had not spoken before, looked at the county order, then looked at Liu Lan, then got up, and said with a smile when he was a peacemaker: "Two, don't be in a hurry, now that the enemy is present, everything can be discussed, everyone is discouraged, at this time Captain Liu is gone, Pingyang will be difficult to protect, and when the time comes, he will be held accountable, even Captain Liu will be to blame, right?" The county lieutenant snorted, and his tone changed: "Captain Liu just said that if we want to think of a perfect plan, wouldn't it be better for us to sit down and think of a countermeasure together?"
