Kyoto

On a winter day, the climate in Kyoto is getting cooler, and in the blink of an eye, this protracted battle with the rebels of the crane in the clouds is about to cross the New Year.

The Crane Rebels in the Clouds are supported by natural terrain and a strong "trapped camp".

"Trapped camp" is a super army built by Yunzhonghe with tens of thousands of gold, relying on this army, the elite cavalry of the Jiuchen Central Army has been unable to conquer the rebel base camp for a long time.

Prime Minister's Office

"Father. Xiao Changle called softly.

Xiao Wanmian was lying leisurely on the recliner with his eyes closed. - Moments earlier, he had been briefed by a spy who had learned of a series of events in Harria Province.

"I want to go to Hariyah Province. Xiao Changle said.

Xiao Wanmian opened her eyes slightly, her expression was very calm, and she was not surprised by Xiao Changle's request.

"You see it. ”

Xiao Changle nodded, "The contradiction between King Gong and Brother Yelan is very serious, and King Gong is the president's leader, I am worried that he will send Brother Yelan to the front line." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Light is very smart, even if the Great Palace really wants to do this, he has his own way to deal with it. Xiao Wanmian was calm and relaxed.

Xiao Changle's heart was like a knife, and her voice trembled slightly, "But Brother Yelan's leg has an attack, and I'm worried that he won't be able to stand it." ”

"Are you determined to go?" Xiao Wanmian frowned, "The battlefield is dangerous, even the King of Light can't pat his chest and guarantee to protect you." ”

"I'm not afraid. Xiao Changle's eyes were very firm, "My daughter is familiar with military books, and she can help Brother Yelan when she goes to the front line." ”

"Well, now that you've made up your mind, Daddy will order someone to prepare everything. Xiao Wanmian said.

"Really?" Xiao Changle was ecstatic, she threw herself into Xiao Wanmian's arms and coquettishly, "Thank you, Dad." ”

"Stinky girl. Xiao Wanmian laughed.

......

"Your Highness, your subordinates searched the city for three days, but they found no trace of King Xichang, nor did they find that group. Hao Ji was frightened and told the news to Ye Shu.

"Rubbish!" Ye Shu slammed the cup on the ground, making his liver angry. "Get out of here!"

"Yes, yes. Hao Ji was taken aback, he had been with Ye Shu for many years and was one of Ye Shu's three confidants, but for so many years, he had never seen Ye Shu get so angry.

"Why is there such a big fire? Nan Xuanji looked at Ye Shu.

Ye Shu took a deep breath and adjusted for a long time before he eased up. "Uncle Cousin, if Shen Kuo goes missing and falls into the hands of Ye Ji, then we will be in trouble. ”

"The arrest of Shen Kuo is legal and reasonable, and His Highness can be relieved. ”

"Even so, who knows what kind of slander the night will make in front of his father. Ye Shu was a little angry, "If the king's position in the East Palace is ruined because of this trivial matter, this king will definitely not be able to spare Yelan." ”

"So His Highness thinks it's the King of Light who did it. ”

"Who else but him!" Ye Shu said, "He deliberately attracted the attention of this king, so as to take advantage of the situation." Maybe he's already in league with Yeji. ”

"The rebels of the Crane in the Clouds are entrenched in the area of the Heishui River, and now that the army is almost repaired, they can send the King of Light to lead the reserve and part of the Central Army to crusade against the Crane in the Clouds. ”

Ye Shu laughed after hearing this, "Master's clever plan." Shen Kuo's matter was put aside for the time being, and this matter was done. ”

......

"Your Highness, Ye Shu has given you a military order, asking you to lead the army tomorrow to conquer the remnants of the Crane rebels in the clouds of the Heishui River. Wan Ren replied to Yelan.

Wan Ren and Yuan Qin originally belonged to Gong Wang Shu, and Yelan promoted them to be his deputies, the commanders of the right army and the left army respectively, and these two people have been following Yelan since then.

Yuan Qin is lively and talkative, and a little smart, while Wan Ren is calm and down-to-earth, belonging to the two extremes.

Ye Fan happened to be drinking tea with Ye Lan, and after hearing this, he was slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Ye Lan's legs wrapped in gauze.

The injury medicine that Yelan adjusted for himself was actually very effective, and most of his injuries had healed in less than a day, and it was not a big deal to go to battle.

The important thing is that Ye Shu's move is obviously ill-intentioned, and Ye Lan can imagine with his toes that Ye Shu will withdraw reinforcements, putting him in danger.

"First, send scouts to investigate the topography of the Blackwater River in advance. Ye Lan's expression was very calm, in fact, he was not proficient in the art of war, and he was only a novice in combat, but he couldn't let Ye Fan and Wan Ren notice anything unusual. - He didn't want to mess with himself before the war.

"Fourth brother, are you sure about this battle?" Ye Fan asked tentatively.

"You go back first. Yelan said to Wan Ren.

Wan Ren judged the situation, stepped back very wisely, and after taking him away, Yelan said slowly, "I'm not sure." ”

Ye Fan's eyebrows took off, "Then the fourth brother, you should respond?"

"Or else?" Yelan glanced at him, his face still calm.

Ye Fan understood this time, no matter how big the matter, Ye Lan could show confidence, in fact, this was just his characteristic, and he couldn't take it seriously.

......

The next day, Yelan led 10,000 central troops and 100,000 reservists from Hariyah Province and marched to the nest of cranes and turtles in the clouds.

The main force of the crane remained in the province of Dimahi, and he himself was stationed in Fort de Mardeburg, near the Blackwater River.

Fort de Mardeburg is a temporary position built by the crane in the clouds, and the fortifications are quite complete. Yun Zhonghe left 50,000 infantry and 10,000 elite cavalry in Dimahi, but took the "trapped camp" and 20,000 infantry to be stationed in Magdeburg.

The commander of the "trapped camp" is Yun Zhonghe's right-hand man, and he is also Yun Zhonghe's most trusted subordinate - Murong Yongci. Since Aligon's tragic death, Yun Zhonghe has lost one of his generals and handed over almost all power to Murong Yongxi.

Murong Yongci is a heartfelt general, and he is extremely brave and good at using soldiers, for such an opponent, Yelan does not dare to despise it.

Earlier, Yelan sent Yinzhujun to the province where Yunzhonghe was located, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Yunzhonghe, but the reason why Yinzhujun was delayed was because of Murong Yongxi. - If the crane in the clouds is dead, Murong Yongci will rule the overall situation. He is more difficult to deal with than the crane in the clouds, so he must kill Murong Yongci first, and then kill the crane in the clouds.

"Your Highness, Your Excellency has sent you a letter. Yuan Qin handed the letter to Yelan.

Yelan took it, opened the letter and read it hastily, then frowned.

"What's the matter, Fourth Brother?" Ye Fan couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw Ye Lan's appearance.

"Xiao Changle is also here. There was a hint of helplessness in Yelan's tone.

"Hehe, it seems that the fourth brother is very popular, why did you come to Harya, everyone followed. Ye Fan's words ridiculed, as if he meant something.

"Your Highness and Miss Changle are about to have a good time, I wonder if we are lucky enough to be able to drink His Highness's wedding wine?" Yuan Qin looked lively, and his language was frivolous.

Yelan glared at them and coldly ordered, "Hurry up, we must camp on the other side of the Heishui River before dark today." ”

"Before dark!" Ye Fan was startled, "but the Heishui River is more than two hundred miles away from here, and most of us are infantry, how can it be so fast!"

"Have you forgotten Ye Shu's lesson, do you want to throw your life to Yun Zhonghe?" Ye Lan glanced at him coldly.

The night does not squeak. Yelan has always been known for being cautious, leaving a way back in everything she does, and always being prepared to do things. And Ye Fan has the mentality of taking a gamble, and he is impulsive and decisive, which is just the opposite of Yelan.

Wan Ren and Yuan Qin did not dare to disobey, and the army remained vigilant all the way, and arrived on the other side of the Heishui River before dark, and camped on the spot.

"Three out of ten people form a patrol and patrol their camp. The hinterland part conducts reconnaissance in the shadows for the two teams, and shifts change every hour. ”

"My lord, is that a lot?" said one of the lieutenants.

"The rebels of the crane in the clouds are stationed on the other side, and if they are not careful, they will lose their heads. Yelan said.

"Your Highness, we have been traveling for a long day, and our brothers are tired. And we just arrived, it is impossible for the crane in the clouds to detect it so quickly, forgive your subordinates for talking too much, is this move a bit redundant?" Yuan Qin couldn't help but say.

"Yes, my lord, I think it would be good to let the brothers in the heart of the heart work outside the work. The soldiers also muttered and complained.

"If you have to rest, then the rebels of the crane in the clouds will attack at night, and you will weigh this responsibility yourself. Yelan said coldly, finished speaking, turned his head and left. Seeing this, Ye Fan comforted the soldiers a few words, and then hurried to chase Ye Lan.

"Fourth brother. Ye Fan called lightly, "Fourth brother, in fact, I think your worries have some reason, but the Crane Rebels in the Clouds really have the ability to reach the sky, can they know that our army is stationed here?"

"Do you think it's impossible?" said Yelan, "Yeshu wouldn't do it on purpose?"

Ye Fan was stunned when he heard this, "Can ...... But that's 110,000 lives!"

"Do you think Ye Shu will think about it so much?" Ye Lan sneered, "As long as he can achieve his goal, he won't care about the lives of these people." ”

"If only my father knew ......"

"We were already buried here by then. Isn't it?" said Yelan.

"In that case, why didn't you tell them, fourth brother?"

"If you don't let them fall into this pit and learn a lesson, will they listen to me?" Ye Lan said, "Even if Ye Shu didn't think so, according to my judgment, Murong Yongci has this ability." ”

"Fourth brother, have you been prepared?"

"Nope. Yelan denied Ye Fan's words, "Take one step at a time." It just so happened that I also wanted to know Murong Yongci's card routine. ”
