"Three thousand guan?! Where did you get so much money?" Ye Qingcheng was slightly shocked. Even if he obtained a silver mine and secretly minted private silver, the property he carried was only just over 1,000 guan. , he thought he was quite rich, but he didn't know that this puppet promised others three thousand coins, which surprised him.
But as soon as he rolled his eyes, he understood what was going on.
"Are you bluffing him with empty words?"
"Of course, where did I get the money... I just need to make the head of the Xicang garrison named Ba Yeya think that I am Tuoba Xingxiong. Anyway, Tuoba Xingxiong is dead. I will come when the time comes. If a person dies without any evidence, he has nothing to say."
Huan Chenyu heard their conversation from the side through the spiritual connection, and he looked even more surprised. This bug could also use tricks to deceive people, and it was not just a rough guy. He just looked around the surrounding camps. Although he didn't go very far because someone was watching him, he could still see that the leader of the garrison in Xicang was somewhat capable of marching and fighting, and he was also good at guard posts and defenses. Some attention.
However, he never thought that Tang Jun would sneak in here, and he even had the idea of this Xicang. Otherwise, their group of fifty people would be subject to more detailed interrogation. Except for the three of them and this puppet, no one among them can speak Khitan at all. This is their biggest weakness, and it is something that even the secret technique of seeking dragons cannot make up for.
Therefore, they cannot let other Tang troops come into contact with the Khitan defenders outside within the shortest two days, otherwise they will be exposed. It doesn't matter if Ye Qingcheng and the three of them can escape, the other Tang troops will be really in danger. They themselves knew this very well, because just when Tuoba Xingxiong went to meet with Ba Yeya, the kinder Baiquan had already made it clear to the other Tang troops that the three of them were not gods and it was impossible. Facing thousands of troops, if something happens, they Tang soldiers will all die.
After understanding this, these guys also restrained themselves a lot and became more cautious. Now that they knew that Ye Qingcheng and the three of them could not protect them, they would never expose any flaws. Once they die here, no one will know the achievements they have made, let alone remember them. Although their families will receive pensions afterwards, that is not what they want. What they want is promotion, merit, and letting all Tang Jun brothers know the contributions they have made, instead of dying silently on the endless prairie behind enemy lines.
"Although Ba Yeya promised to stay as long as he could, after all, the mission we received from the 10,000-person cavalry brigade at the beginning was to explore the Yunzhou area and then report back to the Sangganhe camp to talk to their Xicang garrison. That's what they say. If you keep putting off a task, it will make people suspicious. If you don't say anything when you are suspicious, as time goes by, your inability to speak Khitan will be exposed. If there is any occasion to speak Khitan, it will be up to the four of us. You can handle it alone, and the rest of you should not be exposed."
Everyone nodded to obey the order.
"Chen Yu and Bai Quan, you two and I will go to them at different times to ask for food and water. At the same time, we will figure out their sentinel patterns and camp distribution, and we will try to discuss a plan tonight and then take action."
The two of them also nodded, but Tuoba Xingxiong looked a little unhappy and said, "What about me? What do I do? Master, does he underestimate me because he thinks I'm just an insect?"
Now even Bai Quan couldn't help but stare at this guy. Those Tang soldiers didn't think much about it because Ye Qingcheng used their Taoist skills to deal with them at first. They just thought they were magical. But now even Bai Quan can't help but have a huge interest in this puppet insect. This kind of independent thought and this level of IQ have surpassed many demon clans. This is really only what a Gu insect can do. Is it...
"As for you, just go out and show off more. You are what Tuoba Xingxiong should look like. The more you make those Khitan people think that you are a domineering nobleman."
"Hey." After receiving the master's instructions, this guy immediately slipped out of the tent. Because the puppet insect's reaction power was still temporarily unable to keep up with the body, this time they planned to burn Xicang from the beginning. They had excluded him from the equation at the beginning, initially treating him as just a puppet, but the further they went on, the more incredible they found it.
"Captain, if you let him out, there won't be any problem, right? If it, if it says something wrong and exposes us, we will be doomed." The one who spoke was Wang Ruolan, who looked at Tuoba Xingxiong's disappearing back , looking a little worried.
"It's okay. If he didn't hang around more, I'm afraid it would still make people suspicious. I made some miscalculations. I didn't expect that the puppet insect would not retain the host's original personality when it could inherit the memory. Between it and the puppet Noya’s secret was almost exposed during the negotiation.”
Ye Qingcheng did not expect at first that this Khitan sentry would be a guy with a high status. It is no wonder that although they were twice as many in number, they turned around and left immediately after discovering them. Perhaps because of timidity, perhaps because they knew they were outmatched, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army was higher than that of the nomads, but the cavalry was not sure. They were not even willing to fight. I am afraid that the reason is Tuoba Xingxiong's On the body. And Ye Qingcheng did not expect that the key point in their burning of Xicang this time was also Tuoba Xingxiong. Without him, or even without the puppet insects, they would have never been able to sneak into Xicang, let alone find an opportunity to set fire to it. Burn it.
Huan Chenyu rolled his eyes at this time and said that he was going to see if the puppet bug was causing trouble. By the way, he went to get the first batch of food and water with him, and then opened the tent door and went out without anyone paying attention.
Everyone continued to discuss the plan to burn Xicang. After half a day of suggestions, they quickly determined the key item in the plan: kerosene. This kind of super flammable military refined oil can even burn on the bluestone for a long time, not to mention the garrison formed by this kind of company camp. If the four corners and the central camp are set on fire at the same time, it will not take long to form a The fire in the company camp can quickly swallow up this large area of tents and granaries, destroying the entire station. It just so happened that most of their Shuofang scouts took some with them when they went on missions. If they gathered together, it should be enough for planning.
Fire attacks have been extremely effective since ancient times. You can see the two most common examples. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei's 800,000-strong army was defeated by fire attacks in Chibi, and Shu and Liu were also defeated in Yiling. Today, he, Ye Qingcheng, will imitate the ancients and set fire to Xicang.
