Sir, I can do it!

"Report! Your Highness, the Yunzhou army has left the city!"

Wan Yanmin was lying in the tent and sleeping with her arms around the dancing girl. She drank half the night last night and was still a little dazed at the moment.

The dancer girl wrapped her slender arms around Wan Yanmin's body, and whispered softly: "Your Highness, it's so noisy."

Before Wan Yanmin sobered up completely, she hugged the dancer with her back and went back to sleep. There was another snoring sound in the tent, which made the guards outside the tent anxious.

It was early morning at this time, and the Northern Yan Army was burying pots and cooking.As soon as the fire was lit, smoke and dust billowed ahead, the horseshoes galloped vigorously, the earth trembled, and there was a thunderous roar.

Bei Yanjun squinted his eyes and looked ahead, until one person and one rider jumped out of the thick dust, and then one person and one rider...

The Beiyan army rolled its eyes in an instant: "Damn it, the Yunzhou army is here to grab food again!"

Following the roar of the Northern Yan army, the crowd immediately became a riot.The rice that hadn't had time to be put into the pot was hastily put away, and the pot that was still boiling hot water was also removed by Bei Yanjun first.After all, no one thinks there is too much food, and their life is not easy for the Northern Yan army, how can they ask others to steal the rations every time.

But would the Yunzhou Army let them go easily?Obviously not.The Yunzhou army has experienced the lack of food. Even if there is food in the city now, they have to sacrifice their lives for the food.So every grain is life to them.Not to mention that it was this group of Northern Yan soldiers who caused their current predicament.

Beiyan's vanguard battalion moved, but the rear army did not receive reinforcements for a long time.Seeing that the robbing was almost done, the Yunzhou army was satisfied and retreated, returning to the city.

Cui Hao snorted coldly: "Is this what the Wei Family Army does? It's no different from bandits."

Wei Xuan drank a cup of hot tea silently with downcast eyes, and said, "You are the least qualified person to say such a thing."

Cui Hao said unconcernedly: "It was agreed in advance, I will deliver food, and you will lead the troops out of the city. Why does this officer seem unwilling to leave the city when I look at the major general? After so long, I robbed a Beiyan's vanguard battalion... ...Major General, is he going to go back on his word?"

"It's hard to chase after a man's words. My father is still working hard in Beiguan. I know the importance of time better than you. But don't rush for quick success in war. Although Wanyan Min is a bit reckless, he still has some brains. He has an army of [-] Stationed outside Yunzhou City, even if I lure him to Crouching Dragon Valley, are you capable of outflanking his [-] troops? What's more, how could Wan Yanmin be lured there so easily."

Cui Hao sucked his lips, stood up and touched his swollen belly after drinking and eating, and said, "I don't care what the major general plans, anyway, the Yunzhou Army has so much rations. Everyone praises the righteousness of the Wei Family Army, so it won't be too late. Let's grab food with the people."

He walked out of the tent with a full stomach, and said, "The rich merchants in Yunzhou City treat me with fish and meat all day long, and I'm getting tired of it."

The soldiers stared at Cui Hao's back with hatred, then turned to Wei Xuan and said, "Young General, they are deceiving people too much. The little ones have found out that the grain merchants in Yunzhou City originally stockpiled grain, and it was Cui Hao. Hao sent people to deliberately plan to let the Yunzhou grain store release news of food shortages to incite the people. Now we are working hard outside, but he is drinking and having fun in the city, so happy. I really want to kill him!"

"He is an official of the imperial court and the eyeliner of the emperor. If he is killed, Cui Feng of Shuozhou will be the first to accuse us of rebellion." Wei Xuan sighed and said, "Okay, this battle is still going to be fought. As for how Fight, when to fight, it’s not his turn to dictate. Order to go on, but when the Beiyan army caught fire and cooked food, our people rushed out to grab food.”

He beckoned, signaled his soldiers to come over, and said in a low voice: "When it gets dark, send another group of people out of the city to lie in ambush at Luomapo, ten miles outside the city, to rob the camp at night."

The best way for an army of [-] to fight against an army of [-] is to stick to it.It's just that these [-] troops threatened the survival of the Wei family army, so they had to be eliminated.Wei Xuan was short of soldiers and horses, and he had no other way but to confuse Wan Yan Min temporarily, making him think that the Yunzhou Army was only going out of the city to grab food.In this way, he would have enough time to set up an ambush and nibble away at Yan Min's army bit by bit.

He pressed his thumb between his brows, lowered his eyes to look at the steaming teacup, and suddenly said, "I always have a feeling of unreliability in my heart."

The soldier said: "Major General, Cui Hao is too treacherous, he brought the Shuozhou army to defend Yunzhou, and forced us to go out of the city to meet the enemy. He wants the Major General to die, so he will take our credit later. "

Wei Xuan frowned: "You're right, but we have no choice. He represents the emperor, and he has the food and grass that hold the lifeblood of the entire army. Is the father who desperately killed the enemy going to rebel?"

He stood up slowly, opened the military tent, and let the cold air pour into the tent.

"Father said that war is never simply about leading troops. To some extent, the army is like a small court. In addition to having the military ability to arrange troops, a general must also have certain political skills. But Our Wei family army has been at a disadvantage from the very beginning. The emperor sent Cui Hao to supervise the army and Cui Feng to lead the troops to garrison Shuozhou, which meant that our Wei family army would be controlled by the Cui family."

"But my father still handed over Shuozhou to the Cui family, and the army went deep into Beiguan alone. It's not that he didn't think about what the Cui family would do in the rear, but he also had no choice. Because he couldn't just watch the barbarians The family slaughtered my people in the Central Plains. And I can't just watch Wanyanhong occupy Yanzhou, split Chuanyun Pass and Beiguan, and put the Wei family army in danger. So, even if I know that Cui Hao is wrong, I will Still have to lead the troops out of the city.”

Wei Xuan took a deep breath, and said, "But Cui Hao's purpose is not just to win merit, but I don't know what his plan is. Since my father went to Beiguan, except for the battle reports we came back from inquiring, he has never been here. There is no news, I am worried that there are other secrets that we don't know about. There is also the second brother, we have not found out his whereabouts so far, I am very worried."

The soldiers comforted him, "Young General, it's good news that Beidi didn't break through the Beiguan Pass."

Wei Xuan rubbed his stubble-covered chin, and smiled suddenly: "I don't know why, I've always been sentimental lately. Go get the map, and study how to fight this battle."

For two consecutive days, Wei Xuan sent the Yunzhou Army out of the city to rob food, back and forth several times caused the Northern Yan Army to lose more than [-] troops, Wan Yan was very angry, and couldn't help cursing: "Your grandson! I’m still addicted to robbing. Lieutenant Zuo, I will continue to bury the pot and cook as usual tonight, and pay attention to setting up an ambush in the forest. Once the Yunzhou army goes out of the city to grab food, I will immediately copy them."

Things happen again and again, not again and again, Wei Xuan of course understands the truth that too much is too much.So Wan Yanmin was doomed to be disappointed.Because Wei Xuan didn't send troops to grab food tonight, but bypassed Wanyan's army, went straight to the forest where the flanking army camped and set fire to it.

The winter is dry, with piles of fallen leaves and dry vegetation. A small fire can easily form a prairie fire.

Wan Yanmin is from Beiyan, he naturally understands the reason why it is not suitable to camp in the mountains and forests when the climate is dry.It's just that Wei Xuan insisted on sticking to it, and Wan Yanmin also relaxed.When Wei Xuan went out to grab food for the first time, he changed the way of garrisoning troops and stationed flanking troops on both sides of the main force, encircling and defending the tent of the central army.Just waiting for Wei Xuan to go out of the city again, he sent the two-wing army to outflank the Yunzhou army.But he didn't expect that Wei Xuan caught him off guard and directly burned the tents of the Two Wings army camp.

The flames in the mountains were so bright that Wan Yanmin almost vomited blood, and immediately ordered the two wing troops to retreat to the camp to intercept the Yunzhou army who set fire.

However, when the Two Wings came back to help, the vanguard battalion that Wan Yanmin used as a bait was brutally looted by Wei Xuan...

"It's been a long time since I had a good fight. I'm afraid Wan Yanmin's nose is crooked." The soldier smiled and brought the dinner to Wei Xuan, and said, "Young general, eat more. Let's have extra meals in the kitchen today. Soldiers We are all happy."

Wei Xuan also showed a rare smile, pointed to the low stool beside him and said, "Sit down and eat too."

The soldier rubbed his hands excitedly: "This, this is not good..."

"I tell you to sit down, mother-in-law, what are you doing?"

The personal soldier sat down on the edge awkwardly, and carefully picked up the chopsticks.

"Don't hold back, you're full." Wei Xuan gave him two steamed buns and said, "Keep it, there's still a tough battle to be fought at night."

The soldier bit his bun, whimpered and said, "Is the young general going to copy the two wings army?"

Wei Xuan smiled and said, "You are quite clever. That's right, we burned the tents of the two wings army, and they might have to sleep in the open at night. It's freezing cold today, and people are cold, sleepy and tired. , the energy will be greatly weakened. The left and right wings of Beiyan have a total of 1 people, which is equivalent to our troops. We will only choose one side to encircle and kill."

"Which side?"

While drinking the soup, Wei Xuan glanced at the battle map at hand, and said, "The strategy of a suspicious soldier is to be left empty and right right."

Wei Xuan went to great lengths to snatch the food. From Wan Yanmin's point of view, the Yunzhou Army must be starving.

He said to the lieutenant general: "Are you sure that Shuozhou sent food to Yunzhou? Then why are you still robbing us?"

The lieutenant touched his chin and said, "Lord Hong said that he had an agreement with Shuozhou that Shuozhou would not support Yunzhou. If Wei Xuan came to snatch our food when Yunzhou had food, maybe Shuozhou would be the one to do it." Unable to bear the pressure from above, we had to send food to Yunzhou. But the food and grass sent were mixed with many other things, which was not enough to support the Yunzhou army, so they came to snatch our food and grass."

Wan Yanmin frowned and said: "Hearing what you said, there is some truth to it. Wei Xuan was taught by Wei Ru, and he is very good at defending the city and raiding. We have to think of a way, we can't call He wasted it so much."

The lieutenant general said, "Unless Wei Xuan can be brought into our combat range."

Wan Yanmin said: "Wei Xuan is not stupid..." He clicked his tongue and said, "Twenty miles to the north, the terrain is flat and open, suitable for cavalry operations. Although our army has a large number of troops, Wei Xuan can't breathe But the terrain here is rugged and not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations, and our army is mostly cavalry. If we can lure Wei Xuan there, we will fight him in an open formation. After destroying his main force, Yunzhou will be a mere one The city is not at my disposal."

A cloud state has been surrounded for so many days and still can't be defeated, and the supply of the army is also a serious problem. After hearing this, the deputy general even agreed to Wan Yanmin's strategy, and the two are discussing how to lure people out.

At this time, a sergeant suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, it's not good, the left wing army has been attacked!"

Wan Yanmin thumped the table angrily: "His grandma's, there's more to it!"
