I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

Lin Xuan looked at the mountain of arrows in front of him and smiled.

I borrowed more than 20 arrows from Chengjiang State, which is enough for a short period of time.

"The arrows that can be used directly are transported to Mi Xuelin, and the wet arrows are left in Yaocheng to dry before use."

Since an envoy from the Huan tribe in the prairie went to the naval camp of the Chengjiang Kingdom, it meant that it was not too long before Yu Kaer Zhixie, the leader of the Huan tribe, was about to launch an attack.

Another intelligence came from Heixiongling, saying that King Hunyu had made a comeback and had 3 soldiers outside Heixiongling, staring at him and preparing for revenge.

However, King Hunyu stopped hesitantly when he saw that the valleys in Heixiong Ridge were filled with dry firewood again.

Probably the mood is very complicated.

It is worth mentioning that King Hunyu thought about sneaking in at night, but who would have thought that Hao Shan, the leader of the Xiangzhou Army, would think so too.

The two sides fought hand-to-hand in the dark night, and the somewhat demoralized Hunyu King's army met the elite led by the high-morale Hao Shan, and suffered a lot.

During the day, King Hunyu arranged for people to try a few more times, but all failed.

As a result, the two sides are now in a state of confrontation at Black Bear Ridge.

But, does King Hunyu really want to stop at Black Bear Ridge?

Lin Xuan smiled faintly, Heixiong Ridge is easy to defend but difficult to attack, as long as the defenders are familiar with the terrain, it will become much easier.

In addition, King Hunyu's 3 horses should be used as a diversionary force, and the purpose is to attract more Xiangzhou troops to station at Heixiongling.

It is precisely because of King Hunyu's various ineffective operations that Lin Xuan is more and more sure that Yu Kaer Zhixie, the leader of the Huan clan, will launch an attack in the near future.

King Hunyu is really a very friendly person to Daqian.

To be honest, if he launched another fierce attack on Heixiong Ridge, Lin Xuan would not feel anything, but he was burnt out of the psychological shadow by the fire last time, which caused 3 Huan troops to paddle for fish on the line of Heixiong Ridge. The signal from it is self-evident.

The battle of Mi Xuelin is not far away.

Although the pit dug in Misnow Forest is only half completed, it is almost enough for the early stage of the campaign.

As for whether the Chengjiang Congress will send troops at this time, Lin Xuan has also made arrangements.

Lu Xueyi saluted: "Teacher!"

Lin Xuan asked, "What's your question?"

During this period of time, Lu Xueyi and Rao Shaoyuan had almost [-] whys, and every once in a while, they would come to ask why when they saw him free.

Consider too many times the way they were often given maths learning earlier would be debunked.

Therefore, Lin Xuan arranged for them the task of borrowing arrows from the grass boat.

Now it seems that they have to continue to strengthen their training.

Since they all went to Chengjiang Country to borrow arrows, should they also go in the future?

Lin Xuan was thinking, if they were arranged to guard against Cheng Jiangguo at this time, they might miss the battle of Mi Xuelin. I believe that the battle of Mi Xuelin would be very helpful for their growth.

Lu Xueyi said: "Teacher, Cheng Jiangguo has consumed so many arrows this time, will he become angry and attack Yanzhou in the near future?"

Rao Shaoyuan immediately pricked up his ears, feeling extremely grateful that Lu Xueyi would ask at this time.

He didn't even ask for advice at the first time.

Lin Xuan smiled: "It's possible. However, Chengjiang's army is a mixture of navy and army. The army includes cavalry, archers, etc., and archers are the main ones."

"In fact, Chengjiang Kingdom has always been affected by the mountainous and hilly environment, which makes them more hunters who are good at hunting, so there will be more archers."

"So, when you say that Jiang Guo is defending or attacking, what method will it use?"

Rao Shaoyuan quickly replied: "A bow and arrow!"

Lu Xueyi said: "The teacher means that Jin Wuji has consumed almost 50 arrows this time, and the arrows in the army have been almost consumed. If he wants to attack again, he must prepare more arrows?"

Lin Xuan smiled: "Jin Wuji is going to raid Yanzhou. One is to raise arrows. Another is that they will celebrate for seven days and seven nights for this victory in repelling my large navy."

"If I have an elite cavalry, I will launch a surprise attack around the sixth day of their celebration, and catch them by surprise."

It's a pity.

To tell the truth, before a decisive battle with the 20 army of Yu Kaer Zhixie, the leader of the Huan tribe in the grassland, Lin Xuan really wanted to wipe out the 15 troops of Chengjiang Kingdom that could disrupt the battle at any time.

After all, the current precautions are nothing more than intimidating Jiang Guo's army. If the other party sees through it, it will be very difficult to deal with.

Rao Shaoyuan and Lu Xueyi saluted Lin Xuan together to express their gratitude.

Especially Lu Xueyi, deep in his heart, he admired his teacher Lin Xuan more and more.

He thought that Lin Xuan's purpose was first to borrow arrows, and second to consume the arrows of Jiang Guo's army, but no matter what, he never expected that teacher Lin Xuan would think of destroying the opponent first.

It's just that the conditions are not enough?

"However, don't worry about Chengjiang's army for the time being. After a while, Chengjiang's navy barracks will catch fire, delaying the opportunity to raid Yanzhou again. Even if they come over, there is nothing to worry about."

Lin Xuan smiled and said.

Rao Shaoyuan and Lu Xueyi looked at each other, but did not continue to ask.

Sure enough, even if the conditions were insufficient, the teacher had already made arrangements for Chengjiang Kingdom's 15 troops.

"General, the food and grass from Beiluo, the capital of heaven, have arrived!"

A messenger soldier came and reported quickly.

"Good come!"

Lin Xuan was overjoyed.

Considering the shortage of food, Lin Xuan has arranged for the navy to fish frequently, and the firewood-chopping infantry to hunt regularly, but they still cannot withstand the food consumption.

This is especially true if using a portion as a seed.

However, in Beiluo, the capital of Tiandu, there are still some ministers from aristocratic families who tried every means to deprive the Xiangzhou Army of food and grass, and said that the Yanbei Army is the main force in resisting the Huan people in the grassland, and they need to give priority to supplying the Yanbei Army.

Good guy!

In this case, Lin Xuan thought it would make things very difficult.

It's just that something unexpected happened. The local tyrants and aristocratic families in Yanzhou jointly prepared some food and grass, and sent it to Yaocheng on their own initiative.

Although this batch of food and grass is not much, it seems that they gritted their teeth and made it together, but it just happened to let Lin Xuan go through a difficult period.

"The general and the others fought bloody battles with the enemy in order to defend Yanzhou and defend me. How could we lose a bite of food for the soldiers? Without the protection of the general and others, we common people would not have a way out!"

Lin Xuan was very moved by the sincere words of the old man who came to deliver the food.

He can assure you that he has absolutely no intention of letting the Xiangzhou army sweep the powerful and aristocratic families in the territory to raise food and grass, and he doesn't even have the idea of ​​suppressing bandits...

No, the situation of the recent bandit suppression is that some of the soldiers arranged by the arrangement accidentally discovered a lair of the Yanzhou giant bandit's camp during the process of chopping firewood.

As a last resort, Lin Xuan could only kill them, and collected some food and grass by the way, that's all.

This incident can be said to be insignificant, but somehow it spread.

Ever since, Yanzhou began to spread the news that the Xiangzhou Army was going to start suppressing bandits in the territory.

Then there was a touching scene of the powerful Yanzhou family sending food and grass with tears.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Xuan could only accept it gratefully.

There's no way, at least depending on the situation, if he doesn't accept the food and grass, these people may not be able to sleep when they go back.

Fortunately, the battle of burning Heixiong Ridge did not insult the prestige of the Xiangzhou Army, nor did it make them think it was a waste to send out this batch of food and grass.

This can be known from the celebrations being held in various counties of Yanzhou.

It is estimated that at this time, the imperial court of Beiluo, the capital of Tiandu, has already received the news of the burning of Heixiongling.

However, what Lin Xuan didn't know was that the empress Ji Handan was not in Beiluo, the capital of heaven, and Zhao Yuehan, an official from the Ministry of Commerce, temporarily played the role of the head of the grain transportation team to escort him with grain and grass.

"Brother Lin, long time no see. Let's count the food and grass."

Zhao Yuehan clasped her fists in salute and presented a list.

In the past, these lists consisted of several rolls of bamboo slips, which were inconvenient to carry.

Now the list is just a piece of paper, and everything is clearly written on it, which is extremely convenient.

"I didn't expect Brother Zhao to deliver the grain and grass in person. This batch of grain and grass can be regarded as a great help to me!"

Lin Xuan looked at the list, signed and sealed the receipt, and returned it to Zhao Yuehan.

It's just, isn't it transporting food and grass?

Why are there so many high-quality horses in the food transport team?

War horses and so on, he has 12000 good horses presented by King Hunyu here, but there are not enough cavalry, so he only collected 3000, ashamed.

"Hey, Brother Lin set fire to Black Bear Ridge, killing [-] elite grassland Huan tribes. I heard about it on the way here. It's really amazing. I believe the court will give Brother Lin another reward after hearing about it."

Zhao Yuehan smiled and pointed to the war horses behind him: "Oh, Brother Lin, I still have 1500 war horses here, which were given by two prairie merchants, so I will give these war horses to Brother Lin as a congratulation!"

1500 war horses...

Lin Xuan looked at the fine horse behind Zhao Yuehan, and didn't know what to say.

Sent by the prairie merchant?

Now that the grassland and Dagan are at war, is there such a kind grassland merchant?

On the contrary, he heard that the Huan people from the grassland had infiltrated and plundered the Yanbei army's food roads, killing many people.

It was only that the Xiangzhou Army survived without any transportation of grain and grass.

Reminiscent of Zhao Yuehan's force value, it goes without saying that this prairie merchant might be someone who looted the food road.

hiss……

If this is the case, the team transporting food and grass may suffer a lot of damage, but it doesn't look like anyone was injured?

Lin Xuan asked with concern: "Brother Zhao, you have worked hard all the way. Did you encounter the Huan people who looted food and grass?"

Zhao Yuehan nodded, with a slightly heavy expression: "Yes, many people were injured in the team, and one general died in battle. Currently, the wounded are staying in the nearby city, and we will take them away when we go back."

It turned out to be like this...

It is impossible to say that there were no casualties.

Lin Xuan nodded, inexplicably relieved, thinking that this would be reasonable.

It's just that what Zhao Yuehan said about the general dying in battle is true, many people were injured, actually less than 20 people, and most of them were injured when they fell while riding a horse, they were not killed...

Lin Xuan cupped his hands and saluted: "Brothers have worked hard!"

Zhao Yuehan waved his hand: "Nothing."

She looked into the Yaocheng military camp, and happened to see a lot of people loading arrows into carts, and these arrows didn't look like arrows made by Dagan, but rather like Jiangguo's arrows?

However, since it is the arrow of Chengjiang Kingdom, how could it be in Yaocheng?

Could it be that he raided Chengjiang Kingdom and won a complete victory?

Lin Xuan noticed Zhao Yuehan's gaze, and explained with a smile: "These arrows were all given by Jin Wuji, the general of Chengjiang Kingdom. More than 20 arrows have been soaked in water and need to be dried before they can be used.”

Zhao Yuehan was startled...

This explanation is not very convincing.

Also, Jin Wuji, the great general of the Chengjiang Kingdom, presented 20 arrows, are you kidding me?

However, his thoughts changed sharply, thinking of the information she had obtained, Zhao Yuehan guessed the process roughly.

The only regret is that he couldn't take this opportunity to deal a serious blow to Cheng Jiangguo.

Otherwise, it would be another trouble when Cheng Jiangguo's arrows were replenished.

In addition, she also wants to see what kind of arrangement Lin Xuan will have in such a situation, otherwise she would like to ask Lin Xuan to borrow a navy, cross the river directly, enter the camp of the Chengjiang Navy Army, and kill Jin Wuji first Besides.

The remaining leaderless Chengjiang army could completely chop melons and vegetables, sweeping away wind and clouds, and killing them all.

Even if they can't kill them all, they can still disperse this army.

In this way, when facing the attack of the Huan tribe in the grassland, the Xiangzhou army will not have any worries.

Zhao Yuehan cupped her hands: "Congratulations."

Judging from Lin Xuan's smile, Zhao Yuehan guessed that she just said that the merchants in the grassland gave horses, and incidentally said that Jin Wuji of Jiangguo sent arrows, making a joke.

"It's just that Brother Lin got Jin Wuji's arrow. If Jin Wuji wants to attack Yanzhou in the near future, Brother Lin will be in danger!"

Zhao Yuehan reminded her to see what Lin Xuan had prepared.
