It was originally a night where both of them were a bit distracted, maybe both of them were expecting something to happen, but one of them was busy with military affairs, the other was tired of driving and horses, and Jin Ziye was still dealing with Yingchuan Princess Li Rui and others, until the two When we rested, it was about four o'clock.

At five o'clock, the sky was dark/it was about to light up, but the Weimin Army and the Zhaoyi Army, led by their respective officers, began to practice in the last twilight of the night.

On the other side of the river, in the Xianbei camp, Murong Yao, who was fast asleep, was awakened by the deafening shouts of killing. He turned over and landed, grabbed the horn-end bow, carried the quiver, and hurried out of the tent door, grabbing several cavalrymen who were also panicked. Ask if Xiao Hongfei sent someone to attack the camp.

Not long after, the cavalry went out of the camp to investigate and came back, followed by Murong Hu who came over on horseback.

Murong Yao also rode on his horse, seeing Murong Hu hurriedly asked: "Uncle Hu Mu, what's going on?"

Murong Hu gritted his teeth, and said in a hateful voice: "This is Xiao Hongfei's new trick. For nearly half a month, I have been confronting him here, and we will fight like this several times every morning and evening."

Before the reorganization of the Zhaoyi Army, only the Weimin Army would practice in the morning. At that time, the number of people was small and the momentum was not great. I can bear it.

But since the reorganization of the Zhaoyi Army, the generals at all levels of the Zhongwu Army have been actively training their troops. They have seen the combat effectiveness of the Weimin Army and know the terrible future of the Zhaoyi Army, so they have held back their energy to compete with the Zhaoyi Army.

The Zhaoyi Army did morning exercises, and they also did morning exercises.

The Zhaoyi army took a lunch break, and they also took turns to take a lunch break.

Zhaoyi's army got up in the middle of the night to be a monster, and they never lagged behind.

This will be a pain for the Xianbei army on the opposite side. They will be woken up before dawn, and they will be insulted and provoked by the enemy during the day. Wake up and scream...

Faced with this situation, the Xianbei army had to keep preparing for battle at all times. They were not on guard and were afraid that the opponent would really come over in the dark. The long-term exhaustion accumulated, resulting in extremely low morale recently.

Murong Hu also knows that this is not a long-term solution, but the order given to him by the adults is to insist on a stalemate, and he has to arrange to take turns to rest, but the effect is not very good, because the 3 or [-] people on the opposite side are in unison, even if they fall asleep was woken up.

"Is this the end of the road for Xiao Hongfei? He even used such low-level tricks. How can his soldiers survive this endlessly?"

Speaking of this, Murong Hu could only smile wryly: "His soldiers have been very energetic recently."

"Could it be that Uncle Hu has no way to deal with it?" Murong Yao's face was not very good, and he couldn't help but said loudly: "There are more than 3 cavalry here. Could it be that he was killed by more than 2 infantry?"

Murong Hu stopped talking, and Murong Yao had no choice but to sternly say, "I'm going to meet that Xiao Hongfei today! Let's see what kind of person he is, who made me, the Xianbei warrior, Murong Hu lose his fighting spirit!"

In fact, Murong Hu didn't lose his fighting spirit, it was just the strategic arrangement of the upper level of the Six Xianbei Alliance that caused his subordinates to stay here for too long, and met Xiao Hongfei, a general who was good at attacking and defending.

The prairie warriors are different from the Central Plains people. The Central Plains people can quickly take root wherever they go, but the prairie warriors are used to the vastness of the world, the joy of galloping freely, and the quick-decision fighting style. Now being confined to such a small place, and having to endure harassment and frequent skirmishes, this is an extremely test of patience for them.

Xiao Hongfei had calculated these things correctly, that's why he took the initiative to abandon Liucheng, and chose such a wild place that seemed to have no difference between the two sides, and seemed to be beneficial to the Xianbei cavalry, so he led Murong Hu over.

If he sticks to Liucheng, Xianbei will have more choices.One is to attack the city, if he cannot attack for a long time, he will abandon Liucheng and go straight to Jicheng along the Banghai Road or the Endless Road, and Xiao Hongfei's men are mostly infantry, so naturally he can't chase and kill him. Definitely take him to the test.The second is to search the surrounding people who have not had time to evacuate, or who are unwilling to evacuate, and directly use killing to threaten Xiao Hongfei to surrender... and other extreme methods.

While Murong Hu and Murong Yao were talking, Xiao Hongfei stood with Li Rui on the high general's platform by the river, looking at the brightly lit camp on the other side.

After Li Rui came out from Chuning, he went back to his camp, stayed up all night, and kept writing and calculating. It was not until the army was practicing that he was alarmed to go out of the tent to check. At this moment, he was looking at the people in the Xianbei camp. In that patch of lights, he somehow had some confidence in Xiao Hongfei.

In fact, the current situation depends on whether she has confidence or not. The abolished prince has won over many civil officials in the court, and the five emperors, Li Zhan, have also won the support of many generals. Only she, because of being a daughter, because of her age Slightly small, because of its weak power, it has to bear all kinds of private schemes and disputes.

Originally, her father Song Wangquan was in charge of Huben, and he was deeply trusted by the emperor, and he was an excellent support. Unfortunately, her father had been frightened by the emperor for a long time, and he didn't dare to disobey at all, and defended her for a while. sentence.

Li Rui is the most clear about the temperament of the emperor today, so he can only do his best to come to this extremely dangerous battlefield from Chang'an in person, hoping to find a few helpers from here, and when necessary, he can help the court She is in solidarity.

Xiao Hongfei didn't have much contact with the imperial court, and although his achievements in the past were not outstanding, they were still good.After Li Rui came to Youzhou, he also inquired many times, and learned that this person was not a bad official in the eyes of the people in western Liaoning, so he sneaked over with a few guards.

Looking at the restless situation in the Xianbei camp at this moment, even though Li Rui didn't know the art of war, he knew it was beneficial to the loyal army, so he asked: "Such a strategy must have been anticipated by General Xiao long ago? "

"The tactics of tired soldiers have long been used by the generals of all dynasties to perfection, and they are not considered a brilliant method." Xiao Hongfei said: "Besides, according to my understanding of that old thief Murong Hu, I am afraid that I already have a solution in my heart. , it’s just that it hasn’t been implemented for some reason, of course, it’s also possible that he has implemented it secretly, and we haven’t been able to get the news yet.”

"General Xiao is polite." Li Rui nodded, and said: "The princess doesn't understand these methods of confrontation, but he has a little bit of heart in spending food and grass. If General Xiao needs anything, he can speak up."

Naturally, Xiao Hongfei would not refuse the food and pay that came to his door, he clasped his fists and said: "With the words of the princess, the general will be relieved."

Immediately afterwards, Li Rui suddenly changed the subject: "What does General Xiao think of Chu Zhaoyi?"

Xiao Hongfei glanced at Li Rui's face in the dim light, saw her expression was calm, as if she was chatting, and replied: "To be honest, I don't understand."

A look of astonishment flashed across Li Rui's eyes, and he said, "I don't even understand the meaning of General Xiao's words."

A person who can reach Xiao Hongfei's position, a person who can predict the enemy's opportunity before the battle, how can he not understand even one person?Li Rui couldn't believe it.

"Frankly speaking, not only did the last general fail to understand Chu Zhaoyi, he even didn't understand the Bai...Bai Dangjia she brought today." Xiao Hongfei smiled wryly, "Chu Zhaoyi came to the camp for half a month. Not very outstanding, just like the rumors, maybe she just spent her family's wealth to buy a playful little lady who is addicted to generals, but she unexpectedly became famous in the first battle. Just like Yunhou in Baiyi back then, she is a peerless general with both civil and military skills, brave and good at fighting, but who knows that when she led the army into battle, she basically didn't command it personally, but hid in the formation with her whole body in armor, even the battle formation It is placed in the shape of a turtle, and it looks like it is afraid of death."

"puff……"

Li Rui laughed suddenly. Although she had never seen a turtle-shaped battle formation, she had seen a turtle. Thinking of Chuning's shrinking and hiding in the formation, she couldn't help but smile.

"Because of this, the general has a lot of curiosity about her, and through the celebratory banquet, let a few subordinate generals try it out."

"How is the result?"

"The result is that the last general is a villain in vain." Xiao Hongfei said: "I thought she had some unrivaled methods of governing the army, but who would have thought that whatever the subordinate generals under the last general asked, she would answer whatever they asked, frankly and completely. It doesn't look like a city."

Li Rui suddenly wondered: "What does the general believe in what she says?"

"It's not that the general will believe what she says, but that she will do what she says, so you can't help but not believe it." Xiao Hongfei smiled wryly and said: "At that time, the general also didn't believe it, so I asked her to go to the new organization to organize a Formed a Zhaoyi army, and she really trained a Zhaoyi army."

"Then... what kind of military law is she talking about?"

"One word, money!"

"Just the money?" Li Rui couldn't believe it: "Didn't the court also pay the salary? But why are there always many soldiers who can't even hold their weapons?"

"We can only admit that she spends more money than us, and even the imperial court." Xiao Hongfei said helplessly, "Not only can she spend money, but she can also make money. At the end of the day, she will settle the bill. Since she came to this camp, the short In just half a month, just by selling horse jerky and horse bone soup, he made more than a thousand dollars."

"But this horse meat jerky and horse bone soup... will always be boring, right? After a while, you won't be able to make any money, right?"

When Li Rui said this, Xiao Hongfei immediately felt even more helpless, and sighed repeatedly: "So, recently, she has been stalking my generals and asking them to cross the river to steal the cattle and sheep on the opposite side. I think she is going to sell them." Beef jerky and mutton soup..."

Now, even Li Rui had no choice but to say: "Then you will allow her to play around like this?"

"What can we do?" Xiao Hongfei shrugged his shoulders, looked at the camp on the other side, and said, "Nowadays, every soldier of the Zhongwu Army, as long as they go to the battlefield, can get three to five dozen copper coins, what do you think?" Think, they can get dozens of copper coins at a time, but they can eat meat and drink meat and bone soup with only a few coins, can they not be willing?"

Who wouldn't want such a thing?Xiao Hongfei is also very willing. After all, every time his subordinates are captured, he can also receive tribute. What's wrong with that?

Besides, having meat to eat, soup to drink, and oil and water in the stomachs of the soldiers not only strengthen their physical strength, reduce the consumption of food and grass, but even their fighting strength and fighting spirit will be beyond the ordinary. Apart from connivance, what reason is there to stop it?

After speaking, Xiao Hongfei sighed again, and then continued: "Aside from the means of spending money and making money, looking at her words and deeds, she is neither as elegant and dignified as a big lady, nor as vulgar as a daughter of a poor family. It's astonishing, sometimes dumbfounding."

Li Rui also thought of the sheep raising plan that Chuning said last night, it was indeed amazing, and then thought of the ghostly symbols written by her in Chuning's tooth tent, and he admitted it in his heart Xiao Hongfei's statement, this Chu Zhaoyi, is indeed incomprehensible.

When talking about it, it seems that there is always a set of plausible reasons, but seeing her act, there is no reason at all.

Li Rui thought of the female businesswoman who was dressed in white but didn't speak often, and asked Xiao Hongfei: "The general can't understand that Bai Boss?"

"Yes, I don't understand." Xiao Hongfei nodded and said, "Last night, when Chu Zhaoyi was talking about her plan to raise sheep, the princess and the general at first regarded her words as wild words, but only the Bai master kept treating them as idle words." , even when Chu Zhaoyi said to buy with money, she unexpectedly decided that Chu Zhaoyi really wanted to buy something, not just give money to win over."

Bai Su didn't say a few words from the beginning to the end, and she should have no sense of presence, but in the hearts of Li Rui and Xiao Hongfei, her sense of presence was extremely strong, because at that time, everyone present was the only one, except Chu Ning Besides talking all the time, only Bai Su was thinking calmly.

Under such circumstances, a person who suddenly hears such wild words and still thinks so calmly must have such strong self-control and such a terrifying calm-headedness—and how can a person with such intelligence be willing to become What about merchants?Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are at the end of the class, which is a cheap industry.

For a few moments, Xiao Hongfei even felt that perhaps that Bai Dadang should change his identity with Chu Zhaoyi, that a money-loving person like Chu Zhaoyi should become a merchant to make money, and the calm and calm Bai Dadang would be even better. It is suitable for sitting in the army, planning strategies calmly, and leading the army across the battlefield with a talented and bold attitude.

"Then," Li Rui considered his words, but was very straightforward: "General Xiao thinks, can these two be used by Qingci?"

"Forgive me, I will be blunt." Xiao Hongfei cupped his fists to apologize but said directly: "I can't."

"Why?"

"They have nothing to ask of the princess, and the princess has nothing to do with them."

Li Rui nodded, but suddenly asked: "What about General Xiao? Can you rely on Qingci?"

Faced with this sudden questioning, Xiao Hongfei was very calm, stood with his fists folded, and responded: "The end will not be known."

"Why?"

"The general can only say that if he is still stationed in Liucheng at this moment, if Xianbei threatens the lives of innocent people, the general may sacrifice the city, or surrender, and then kill himself."
