"The purpose is to make Xiliang believe that there is a large number of troops stationed at Yecheng Pass, deterring them from easily attacking Yecheng Pass, to make Xiliang believe that Zhou is continuously dispatching reinforcements to Yecheng Pass..." Bai Qingyan spoke solemnly, "Since we know General Cui Shanzhong is in command, we must not be careless. Yecheng Pass is too important both to Zhou and Xiliang, more important than Qiushan Pass, a strategically critical point. General Cui Shanzhong likes to use deceptive tactics, and we can emulate them."
"A Qi will take half of the remaining forces to leave tomorrow, with half diverted for General Yang to bring back. Ah Jue will wait two more days to bring Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi to set out again, then divert half to return, so we can hold on until General Zhao Sheng brings the Zhao family army to Yecheng Pass!" Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Jinzhao, "By then, Xiao Wu will accompany General Zhao to reinforce A Yu and Jinxiu."
