In the evening of that day, Tian Yanshao, who had left for a whole day, finally came back in a suspicious and nervous mood.

Qin Chi and Yu Jianying were invited to Tian Yanshao's study by their servants. As soon as they stepped into the study, they saw Tian Yanshao sitting in the main seat with a look of wind blowing dust.

"I've met Lord Tian."

The two bent down to salute.

"No need to be polite!"

Tian Yanshao raised his hand slightly to signal them to get up, looked at Qin Chi and said, "It will take some time to summon the generals of the three armies, so Lord Qin has been waiting for a long time."

Qin Chi bowed slightly: "The emperor just rested at the Lord's Mansion for a day, but he has worked hard outside for a day."

After the two of them exchanged official greetings for a few words, Qin Chi immediately got to the point, looked at him and asked, "I wonder when I can set off?"

The group of private soldiers did not know their actions at the moment. If they were quick and had enough movements, they could have an unexpected attack.

Tian Yanshao pondered for a moment and looked up at him and said, "If Lord Qin is anxious, we can set off tonight, but 40,000 soldiers are not a small number. If Lord Qin wants to hit the other party off guard, we can only march at night."

Otherwise, it would be as small as Mingzhou Prefecture, even if they broke up the 40,000 soldiers and let them arrive at Mingzhou Prefecture separately, it would have attracted the attention of many people.

Then, let alone sneak attacks, it would be nice if they were not attacked by others.

"But in this way, our time to travel will be doubled."

Yu Jianying frowned and said.

Originally, the cavalry could arrive in about two days, and the infantry and baggage units might be slower, but they could arrive in four or five days at the latest.

But now if you have to follow the advice of Commander Tian Du, it will take as soon as seven or eight days for these soldiers to arrive.

This timeline has been stretched too long. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the middle of seven or eight days?

What if the news leaked makes the group of private soldiers prepare in advance?

When he met his obviously disagreeable eyes, Tian Yanshao shrugged: "If this little brother thinks that the opinion of this commander is not feasible, I have no good suggestions."

After all, the conditions are here, so they cannot find more than 40,000 horses at once to turn all the infantry into cavalry. If they want to attack the other side unexpectedly, they can only choose to slow down and hide the traces of the soldiers.

Yu Jianying's eyes fell on Qin Chi.

Qin Chi lowered his eyes and thought for a while before looking at Tian Yanshao and asked, "Dare you ask, Lord Commander, how many cavalry do we have now?"

"Eight thousand cavalry!"

Even in the military camp, the horse is a very precious thing. He was able to make up eight thousand cavalrymen, but he was the result of emptying his family's fortune.

"Eight thousand!"

Some are less.

"Can Lord Tian send a small team of infantry to infiltrate Mingzhou Prefecture first?"

"If there are fewer people, it's not impossible."

Tian Yanshao nodded after thinking for a moment.

"How about giving you a team of 3,000 people first?"

These three thousand people were broken up and then sneaked into Mingzhou Prefecture in various ways. With him, the prefect of Mingzhou Prefecture as a cover, it was not very noticeable.
