Empress and Empress

Yuan Xingye was quite optimistic about Pei Shiyuan, and he could see that he was very loyal to Da Qi.Although she was a little concerned about Pei Shiyuan, an airborne marshal like her, he still cooperated with her request very much.

After reading Quan Rong's latest tactics, Yuan Xingye rubbed his eyes wearily.For a long time, no matter whether it is the Turkic or the dog army, the combat method has always been hard and hard, but now it is not difficult to see that the dog army has suddenly changed its combat style and is more flexible and changeable.The last time they lost Youzhou was because they pretended to be defeated and lured Pei Shiyuan out of the city to fight.

"General?" Yuan Nan brought tea and found Yuan Xingye in a daze with a pen in his hand.

Yuan Xingye came to his senses, looked at the white paper in front of him, and couldn't help but smile wryly.It took the three of them to rush to Youzhou in about a day. No matter how fast Luoyan was, it would take more than a month to follow the army and prepare.

If Quanrong suddenly attacked now, their chances of winning would be almost zero.Now you can only take the initiative to attack.Judging from the intelligence, the dog army has a strength of [-], and it has lost about [-] these days.

Yuan Xingye sighed, she didn't expect the casualty rate to be so different.In addition to the stronger individual dog soldiers, there are also reasons why the northern army's combat effectiveness is too weak.Although the morale is not bad now, if they want to take the initiative to attack, the soldiers might be timid.

On the contrary, the former Northwest Army's combat effectiveness was among the best in Daqi's army.

Now a battle is needed to raise the morale of the soldiers.A quick and efficient battle, preferably to take Youzhou back.Soldiers can also recuperate their injuries, and it is easier to survive the winter.

Yuan Xingye sighed, and asked Yuan Nan to prepare a set of black tights.

"Marshal, it's too dangerous for you to do this." Yuan Nan couldn't help but persuade.

Yuan Xingye straightened his cuffs, walked to the table and drank the cold tea. "I can't help it. I'm going to check the strength of the opponent's troops in Youzhou, as well as the situation of the people in the city. After all, Pei Shiyuan's information is too little."

This is a very unwise decision, regardless of whether it will succeed or not, it is a tricky behavior. The method of war between the two countries does not have much effect, but it is still used in a battle now. OK.

Yuan Xingye did not inform the others, and left the barracks in the dark. Although Pei Shiyuan had arranged many spies around, Yuan Xingye easily avoided it.Youzhou has always been a battleground for military strategists, and the city walls are very tall, so Yuan Xingye flew onto the city walls in one breath.

Yuan Nan and Yuan Dong waited anxiously. Although they wanted to follow, they could only hold back Yuan Xingye. At this time, they could only wait slowly.

Time passed bit by bit, and Yuan Xingye still didn't come back.Yuan Nan was about to blow out the candles to show that they had fallen asleep, when he suddenly heard many footsteps approaching.He stopped at the door of the tent, and then a voice said: "The last general, Zhang Duanran, asks to see you."

Oops?Yuan Nan and Yuan Dong glanced at each other, Yuan Nan said, "General Zhang is polite, the marshal has already gone to bed, please see me tomorrow."

Zhang Duanran was once the chief general of Youzhou, and after Pei Shiyuan was transferred, he moved to the left and became the deputy general.Behind him are several generals who used to be from Youzhou.They still admire Pei Shiyuan. Although they have lost several battles, it is God's will.Now that a concubine suddenly appeared and became the marshal, Zhang Duanran felt a little dissatisfied no matter what.

In his heart, how could a woman or an imperial concubine become a marshal?Isn't this treating war as a game?In any case, she did not believe that this woman could defeat Inurong.Today, I just wanted an explanation to give Yuan Xingye a blow.

He refused to leave, Yuan Nan refused to let him in, and the two of them stalemate at the door.This naturally aroused the interest of others, and soon the news spread throughout the barracks. The generals of the former Western Army rushed over when they heard about it.

While about to go in, while blocking, many soldiers gathered in front of the big tent to watch.

"Seeking to see the commander in the middle of the night, what is your intention?" The person who spoke was a general of the Zhengxi Army named Zhao Guang. Before Yuan Xingye arrived, he had always been the leader of the 5 troops of the Zhengxi Army.

"The general is just looking for something to do with the commander. The commander must have woken up, so why don't you go out and see him? Is there something unspeakable about it?" General soldiers are somewhat rude people, and they don't have so many concerns when speaking.

"You---" Zhao Guang was impatient.The two houses were at a stalemate, and a person with a large tent came out.

Under the light of the torch, the dark purple clothes looked black, which made Yuan Xingye's face slightly gloomy at this moment.For a while, the air around seemed to be quiet, a little depressing.

Zhao Guang naturally knew Yuan Xingye's ability, so he bowed down and bowed down.

"Greetings to Marshal." Several generals of Zhengxi Army said in unison, which surprised Zhang Duanran.He knew Zhao Guang. He was a bit conceited, and most people would not notice him.Can't help but look at Yuan Xingye again.

When Yuan Xingye first arrived in the afternoon, he felt that Yuan Xingye was a relatively friendly person, but now he seemed a little calm and prestige.

"General Zhang, why did you ask for an interview late at night?" Yuan Xingye said.

Zhang Duanran was well-known in the army for his height and stature. Although Yuan Xingye was not short, he was more than a head shorter than her. However, being looked at by Yuan Xingye like this, Zhang Duanran felt a little nervous and uneasy for no reason.Yuan Xingye's eyes became calm, and there was no sense of blame in his eyes, but Zhang Duanran didn't know how to speak.

Originally, he wanted to embarrass Yuan Xingye in front of all the soldiers, but Zhang Duanran didn't believe that Yuan Xingye really dared to kill first and then play later.

"Marshal, the last general refuses to accept."

"General Zhang, please tell me?" Yuan Xingye said.

Zhao Guang looked at Yuan Xingye's expression, and couldn't help but step back.He knew that Zhang Duanran was going to be unlucky, and he would also be involved.Can't help but glared at Zhang Duanran.

"The last general just wants to know what strategy the marshal has to fight back the dog army?" Zhang Duanran said. "The last general also wants to know whether the marshal can fight the enemy?"

Yuan Xingye looked at Zhang Duanran, smiled slightly and said, "Are you questioning me right now?"

"The last general doesn't dare." Although Zhang Duanran said that he didn't dare, Zhang Duanran didn't intend to back down.Yuan Xingye took a step forward and said, "I know everyone has a lot of questions about this commander, and this commander will give you an explanation during the morning exercise tomorrow." Yuan Xingye's words were not loud, but almost all the soldiers listened arrive.

"Morning exercises tomorrow, all officers and men will attend on time, and those who arrive late will be punished by the military." After finishing speaking, he turned and returned to the big tent.Zhang Duanran naturally didn't want to let today's matter go so easily, but Yuan Xingye glanced at him before turning around, which made him sweat a little.

Although Zhao Guang didn't like the former members of the Northern Army, he still admired Zhang Duanran and couldn't help but stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder. "Seek good luck!"

When Yuan Xingye returned to the big tent, Yuan Nan and Yuan Dong breathed a sigh of relief. "marshal!"

Yuan Xingye took off his coat, and he was still wearing the clothes he wore when he went to spy. "The dog soldiers are all concentrated in the city of Youzhou, and the common people are only grounded. It seems that there is no danger of their lives for the time being."

"Marshal, what should we do if Quan Rong threatens us with the names of the common people during the siege?"

Yuan Xingye sat behind the desk, "This is what I'm worried about." The current situation is really not optimistic, with insufficient troops, discord between generals, and a passive position in the strategy against the dog army.

On the second day, Yuan Xingye came to the school grounds early.It's good that Pei Shiyuan led the army. There were already many people waiting there. When the time came, almost all the soldiers had arrived.The whole school grounds were filled with the sound of stomping feet and rubbing hands.

Yuan Xingye did not speak, and the voice of the entire school field gradually decreased, and finally became silent. "Who didn't show up on time?" Yuan Xingye asked.

No one responded, Yuan Xingye knew that his ability was not enough to convince the crowd.Zhao Guang wanted to speak, but Yuan Nan stopped him with a wink.

"All generals, check the presence of your subordinates and hand them over to me," Yuan Xingye said.Apart from Pei Shiyuan, there were ten generals, Zhang Duanran looked at each other, and walked down slowly to check.On the contrary, Zhao Guang and the others were very fast.

Zhao Guang soon reported the situation.All the 5 men and horses belonging to the Zhengxi Army arrived, and no one was late.Zhang Duanran and the others were a little slow, and finally reported that 100 people were late, and there were more than [-] people who did not come.

During the report, Zhang Duanran looked at Yuan Xingye. Yuan Xingye looked calm, but he was a little nervous for no apparent reason.

"For those who didn't show up, each person will hit another [-] times, and those who arrive late will each have another [-] times." Yuan Xingye said.

After a while, shouts sounded from the side of the school field.Many soldiers looked at Yuan Xingye with both dissatisfaction and fear.

"Yesterday, Zhang Duan ran against the commander outside the commander's account. The subordinates violated the rules. Zhao Guang intended to stop him, but he made a noise in the army and quarreled openly with Deputy General Zhang. As a general, he can't set an example and take the lead. Instead, he is a leader in the army. The matter is intriguing. Pei Shiyuan is not good at leading the army, and the soldiers are at odds. The three of them each hold 10 boards to serve as an example." Yuan Xingye's voice exploded in the ears of [-] people.

Pei Shiyuan didn't expect to have his own share, but he thought that he was indeed at a disadvantage in leading the army, not to mention that he did not show up yesterday with the mentality of watching the show.

Zhang Duanran was a little dissatisfied when he heard the four people fighting each other.Although the other places are correct, he also admits it, but he doesn't think the words intrigue can be applied to him.

"Before this commander came, a total of 15 people were divided into two factions, pushing each other out and suppressing each other. As a result, our army failed again and again. After my commander came yesterday, he did not cooperate. He only cared about his own interests and personal gains and losses. This is not a conspiracy. ?" Yuan Xingye glanced at all the generals.

The three looked at each other, and Pei Shiyuan and Zhang Duanran looked at the usually arrogant Zhao Guang with an expression of "I knew it was so".Zhao Guangping was extremely conceited in his daily life, and he would not lie to anyone, but he didn't expect that he didn't even have the intention of opposing Yuan Xingye.

"Yuan Nan and Yuan Dong will be responsible for the daily drills of the soldiers."

"Yes."

"All the generals above the fourth rank will discuss military affairs after half an hour." Yuan Xingye walked down from the high platform after finishing speaking.

"Yes, Marshal."

Yuan Xingye walked alone in the barracks, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.This kind of life is indeed suitable and adapted to her.

But --- thinking of Xia Zimo, Yuan Xingye's eyes were filled with tenderness.
