Your Highness asked me to pay him back his honor

The major general asked His Highness Yan Wang to kiss him, jumped out of His Royal Highness Yan's lap, and stole [-] horses from the Rongdi tribe in Yinshan Mountain.

……

One night of feasting, and the next day lying high.Shuofang's elite troops continued to patrol the city in secret, but there was no sign of Yingcheng's army horses leaving the city to break through.

"There are some other movements."

Jing Jian led people to patrol for a night and a day, and returned to the camp at night. He put on his armor and entered the account: "Last night, Yingcheng forced five cattle to be sacrificed to the group of gold men."

"Farming cattle?" Dao Scar stared at him in astonishment, "Is King Xiang crazy? Are you afraid that there will be no fights in this city?"

Bai Yuan sat aside, put down the medicine stove, and shook his head.

"Not crazy? How did you think that? You can't kill cattle even if you don't have enough food."

Scar was puzzled: "The beginning of spring is the time for plowing. There are not many refugees in Yingcheng, they are all local people. Guarding the ancestral land, no one will sell cattle no matter how much money you give."

"If you don't conscript cattle, there is no other way."

Jing Jian was dumbfounded: "Last night, the smell of meat and wine made my eyes turn green, let alone the golden man?"

"The major general gave him a chance. With the shaky fighting spirit of the Jinren last night, he can be solved by only relying on the city's soldiers and horses."

Bai Yuan said: "If he can wake up and stop when he should, he won't do such a bad strategy."

Shuofang's army hosted a banquet to lure the enemy, and secretly deployed many soldiers and horses, firstly to guard against surprise attacks in the city, and secondly to wait for the movement in the city.

If King Xiang's faction can really have some backbone, first endure the pain and break this double-edged sword that no one can hold.Even if the two sides are hostile, the Shuofang army is not incapable of helping each other. First, they resisted the foreign enemies together, and then came to liquidate each other later.

"It's a pity that I gave you a chance for one night."

Jing Jian sighed, took a bowl of hot Huocai and mutton soup, and drank it all in one gulp: "The arrow is on the string, I'm afraid no one will be able to retreat now."

No one spoke in the tent for a while, the fire was quietly roasting the bitter concoction, someone sighed softly.

In Yingcheng, there are not only Iron Buddha, but also rebels, and ordinary people.

Shuofang's army besieged and did not attack, not only because attacking the city was too labor-intensive, but also because once the city was attacked, King Xiang's ruthless heart would definitely drive all the civilians to the front and put them on the top of the city.

"If you don't attack the city, doesn't the major general also have a way of not attacking the city?"

Bai Yuan smiled and said: "There is good news, most of the armor for the horses has arrived. In addition to the [-] extra horses that suddenly came out yesterday, give me another day or two, and I will be able to complete them."

"Good thing!" Dao Scar rejoiced, "At that time, we will follow the old method, tighten three sides and loosen the other, and make a hole for them to drill in. As long as you dare to come out of the turtle shell, let's see how they can use others as a shield!"

"It's a good thing in my opinion." Bai Yuan turned on the stove twice, looked at Yun Lang, "The major general didn't speak, did we miss something?"

"Huh?" Yun Lang sat up and smiled, "Not really."

He no longer needs to drink ginseng soup, although he still has some losses, it is enough to slowly recuperate the food and tonic, now Bai Yuan's medicine is used to dispel dampness and regulate qi.

Many of the high-quality medicinal materials that Buguilou had accumulated over the years grew in the Gobi Grasslands, which were rare even in the capital, and fell on General Yun.

The wind and sand in northern Xinjiang are dry, and after the rain in early spring, the damp and cold accumulated in the muscles and bones over the years can be dissipated more cleanly.

Yun Lang clenched his wrists, took the medicine that the vanguard officer blew so hot, and took two sips: "I was thinking, the situation of the battle changed suddenly, only one or two days left...no one can move."

"We can't move because we have to wait for the horse and the army to arrive."

Jing Jian thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "King Xiang and the Jinren are stuck in Yingcheng, locked in a stalemate, in a dilemma, and naturally they can't move...Which side is there?"

Yun Lang remained silent, put the medicine bowl aside, and put one hand into the little prince's sleeve.

Xiao Shuo looked at Yunlang's expression, took out a piece of candy from his sleeve, peeled off the candy wrapper with one hand, and put it in the palm of the major general who tried his best to maintain his majesty: "Shuozhou."

Jing Jian was stunned: "Shuozhou?"

Although Yunlang came to northern Xinjiang this time, he was aiming at recovering Shuozhou.After all, Shuozhou has been occupied for more than ten years, and there have been several deliveries in between. It was nothing more than losing to Xixia from the Liao people, and stuffing the Xixia's shell into the golden man's stuffing.

Everyone knows in their hearts that they should not rush to seize the city for a while.Even if the troops are sufficient, encircled and surrendered, it is normal for half a year and a year to meet fierce battles.

"Shuozhou...not in a day or two."

Jing Jian was worried that Yunlang was in a hurry, so he hesitated to persuade him: "Siege the city and seize the land, gather momentum and slow down the pressure. Shuozhou is different from other northern cities, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is an important town for garrison troops, so don't be in a hurry—"

"What's so difficult about capturing the city?"

With a sharp hand, Yun Lang tapped the little prince's palm twice to thank him, and quickly stuffed the piece of candy into his mouth, taking away the bitter taste: "The difficulty is that after the city is captured, if I drive the golden man out, the Yanmen Pass If you can’t stop it, it will be troublesome to run around.”

Jing Jian: "..."

"The major general said it's not difficult, so I believe it's not difficult."

Dao Scar never doubted Yun Lang, so he smiled heartlessly: "The Major General only says what to do, we will do it."

"Besides Rongdi, there should be many refugees in Yinshan Mountain."

Yun Lang hid the medicine bowl behind his back, sat up and said, "It's just that it's hidden too deep, so it's not easy to find."

Before Yunlang left northern Xinjiang, his manpower was exhausted and his army was exhausted, so he was really unable to regain Shuozhou.Some of the people in Shuozhou were relocated to other cities, and the rest had nowhere to settle. Yun Lang had thought about bringing them back to the Central Plains, but very few were willing to follow.

The land is relocated, and the flesh and blood are attached to each other.Shuozhou people who couldn't take them away and refused to bow their heads to the wolf cubs of other races scattered into the mountains and became refugees.

"It shouldn't be a coincidence that Bailing can pick that old ginseng."

Yun Lang suddenly remembered, and looked at Bai Yuan: "Uncle Bai, did you explain those things to my nephew later?"

Bai Yuan: "..."

"Captain Qingche has been hanging around outside the city for the past few days. If he doesn't return to the building, his subordinates will take care of it."

Scar raised his hand to complain: "We guess, it's to hide from his son."

"If you don't return to the building to transfer the horses, Big Brother Bai is only dispatching in secret, and refuses to come forward."

Jing Jian suppressed a smile and nodded in agreement: "We guess, it's also to hide from his son."

"..." Bai Yuan had a headache for a while: "Okay, this is my family business, don't bother—"

Yun Lang smiled and said: "Don't bother everyone, I just try to be worthy of him?"

Bai Yuan froze, looked up at Yun Lang, and said nothing.

General Yun...seriously hold grudges.

Back then when Yunlang sold his horse and wanted to go south alone, Bai Yuan didn't want to reveal his identity, so he tried to imitate Yue Qu's method and use Xiao Shuo's incident to keep Yunlang.

Yun Lang insisted on leaving, and the only thing he said to Bai Yuan was "This matter is my family matter, don't bother you, I will try my best to be worthy of him."

"How did Mr. Hu teach me?"

Yun Lang finally found an opportunity to turn over old accounts with a smile: "Doesn't family affairs belong to everyone in Shuofang Army?"

Bai Yuan sat for a long while, finally lost his temper, put his forehead on his forehead and smiled wryly: "Yes."

"Over the years, we have all been people who should have died, and people who should have died lived just for things that couldn't die immediately."

Yun Lang smiled, and said slowly: "Uncle Bai, you have to hide your identity in order to lead the Shuofang army. You feel sadder than anyone else...Xiao Bailing can understand this."

Bai Yuan clenched his fists hard, his clenched hands were almost turning white, he loosened them slowly, and said in a low voice, "But—"

"I can understand." Yun Lang said softly, "The person we care about must have something worthy of our care. You want to protect him, but you don't know that he is not risking his life, but also wants to try to protect you."

Yun Lang: "We should have trusted them more."

Bai Yuan trembled violently, raised his head subconsciously, his shoulders tensed, and looked at Xiao Shuo who was sitting quietly beside him.

In fact, none of them really know how the Prince Duan's son back then and His Royal Highness Yan Wang got here all these years.

After Yun Lang left, that strange man who had raised horses in Yunzhou City for nine months, once came to No Return Building.Order a glass of cold water, a night of cold moon.

The man paid 19 taels and three cents of silver, saying he was buying this night of pure moonlight.Xiao Er was overjoyed, and repeatedly said that he had met a lunatic, the money was easy to come by, and it would be good to see the moon every day in the future.

Later, the accountant checked and found that the cost of Yunlang's treatment and medicine was not too much... exactly 19 taels and three cents.

"Besides, I'm looking for Bailing for something serious."

Yun Lang smiled: "He should be taught how to gather herbs. If he is asked for help, he should be able to find the homeless medicine farmers in the Yin Mountains."

Yinshan Mountain is too big, he walked around it for more than ten days, but he only had time to go around clearly a few dangerous fortresses facing Yingcheng.

But the people of Shuozhou hid in the mountains, looking forward to the old city every day, and some people must have changed their appearance and sneaked back secretly.

Go look for the ancestors' spiritual tablets, look for the relics of relatives, and get back those things that can't be lost even if you lose your life.

Now the main force of the Jin army is trapped in Yingcheng. Although there is still an iron pagoda in Shuozhou city, but there is no order from the general, it is the easiest time to be scattered.

If these people can be found, there may be something to do in a day or two.

"It's going to rain in spring tonight."

Yun Lang pressed his wrist and put his hands back into his sleeves: "The spring breeze blows the spring willows... One spring rain to watch the river open, two spring rains to watch the swallows come, three and four to see the cattle go. Fight faster, this year there will be more There will be a harvest."

"Major General—" Bai Yuan's eyes widened, "Do you want to recover Shuozhou City before this year's spring plowing?"

"If I can spare time in winter, winter will come."

Yun Lang smiled: "War is not just about risking your life and fighting, but you have to use everything that can be used."

"Shuofang's army has not dared to send out surprise troops or take risky tactics these years because there is no support behind them. Once they lose, they will be completely overthrown."

Yun Lang said slowly: "But it's different now."

Bai Yuan's eyes were hot, he took a deep breath, slowly pushed down his chest and turned over: "Yes."

"Today also set a lottery."

On a whim, Yun Lang took a look at the scar and Jing Jian, and said with a smile: "The little prince gave ten taels of silver. Guess what to do with Yao Nong, and how to fight Shuozhou City."

When King Duan was there, Shuofang Army's big tent laughed and talked about these bets.General Yun Shao was the smartest, but he couldn't figure out what King Duan was thinking, so he went to burn a dozen of Rong Di's tents in a fit of rage.

Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you want...to follow the Major General's temper?"

Yun Lang nodded: "Yes."

Jing Jian added: "Is it still necessary to use the mountain herb farmers?"

"Yes." Yun Lang picked up the medicine bowl, "I'll go out for a while, you guys discuss it slowly."

All of them became interested, swept away the vague dullness aroused by the past, and got together to have a lively discussion.

……

Yun Lang walked outside the tent, and was about to pour the bowl of bitter medicine behind the tent, when he heard footsteps behind him, he coughed dryly: "Little prince."

Xiao Shuo came over: "One heart that does not return to the building."

Yun Lang directly handed over the medicine bowl.

Xiao Shuo looked up at him, took the medicine bowl, and took a sip: "..."

Xiao Shuo: "It's a painstaking effort not to return to the building."

Yun Lang just took it with a sigh, squeezed his nose and took a sip, causing him to cough out of choking: "Little prince, your ability to tell jokes is improving by leaps and bounds..."

"Next time I will tell them that adding some licorice will not damage the medicine."

Xiao Shuo said, "You want to sneak into the city and try to trick these parties into fighting?"

"The trouble is not Shuozhou City, but Yanmen Pass and Tiefutu."

Yun Lang managed to suppress his cough, took a breath, and nodded: "The Jin people are not as good as Xi Xia, they are naturally good at looting, but they don't know how to defend the city at all. But what's the use of seizing the city? If the iron Buddha is scattered, Once the weather is established, you can go straight to the Central Plains if you pass Feihukou."

Xiao Shuo understood his intentions, took the medicine bowl, and said: "It's just... Shuofang's army has been trapped here for a long time, and their fighting spirit is still intact, but their determination to plan a strategy at the beginning has been worn down, so it may not be possible to guess. "

"Uncle Bai grinds harder, is Jing Canjun okay?"

Yun Lang was not reconciled: "There is still a scar—"

Xiao Shuo: "Scar?"

"Scar! How?"

Yun Lang held on to his confidence: "Great wisdom is like a fool, and great ingenuity is like clumsiness. I believe him."

"……it is good."

Xiao Shuo looked at him quietly for a while, and couldn't bear to poke the young general, so he nodded, "In that case, ten taels of silver..."

As soon as the words fell, the burly figure of Scar had already got out of the tent, looked around, and ran towards Yunlang with a smile.

"How." Yun Lang grabbed the little prince's hand, quickly tapped twice to confirm the bet, and turned back with a pleasant expression, "Did you figure it out?"

"Mr. Jing guessed it with Big Brother Bai." Dao Scar grinned, "I don't know if I'm sure."

Yun Lang nodded: "Say."

"Brother Bai, let me ask again." Dao Scar said, "Is there something important to do with Yao Nong?"

Yun Lang nodded: "Yes."

Scar: "Can it weaken the golden soldier's combat power?"

Yun Lang's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Yes."

Scar: "Does it still conform to the temper of the major general?"

Yun Langhan was rather pleasantly surprised, glanced at Xiao Shuo, and nodded happily: "That's right, you—"

"Brother Bai asks... about feeding epimedium to war horses."

Dao Scar's face became hot, he coughed twice, and touched his head: "How many catties is enough?"
