Since Shen Kuo was placed under house arrest by King Gong Yeshu, Yeshu led the three armies to the battlefield, and fought more than a dozen ambushes of all sizes on the way, and when he fought with the remnants of the front line of the Central Army and the commander of the Central Army, Hai Shengyue, the right wing army of the three armies had lost most of it, and the left wing army was also damaged, only the middle line was unscathed-because the middle line was led by Ye Shu himself, and every time he encountered the enemy, he always hid behind, so that the left and right wings on both sides were blocked.

Ye Shu has been familiar with military books since he was a child, but his ability to adapt to changes and command in battle is really poor, to put it bluntly, it is just talking about soldiers on paper, but the advantage of Ye Shu is that he is very self-aware, knowing that his command ability is not good, so he simply handed over the command to Hai Shengyue and Master Nan Xuanji.

Nan Xuanji's command ability is very strong, which is due to Xuangong's cultivation of the art of war for his disciples since he was a child, plus Nan Xuanji's own spirituality. After a few days of hard work, under the command of Nan Xuanji, the Jiuchen army made a beautiful counterattack, and retracted the Yunzhong Crane rebels back to the base camp, and they didn't dare to come out to provoke in the past few days.

"Uncle Cousin's military ability Ye Shu has long heard of it, Ye Shu wants to learn this battlefield command with his cousin, and he also asks Uncle Cousin to give advice. In the big tent, Ye Shu asked Nan Xuanji for advice very respectfully.

Nan Xuanji is dressed in light armor today and is not masked. It lacks the mystery of the past and adds a bit of the temperament of a battlefield general. For Ye Shu's humble advice, Nan Xuanji will naturally teach him some, but he always has reservations.

"The forces of the crane in the clouds were mainly infantry, with only a small number of cavalry and archers. Cavalry and archers are highly mobile, while infantry are weakly mobile, so it is difficult for the crane in the clouds to fight a pursuit battle, and it is mainly defensive. Our army has the most elite cavalry and archers in Jiuchen, and it can be said that we have a certain advantage in terms of troops, and we are on the attacking side in terms of attack and defense. Nan Xuanji said.

"Then why is it that our army and the rebels are losing and retreating, and they have been pressed and beaten by the rebels?" Ye Shu asked.

"The Sea Commander is led by elite cavalry and infantry, and according to the ability and judgment of the Sea Commander, he certainly knows how to use the terrain to pursue the enemy. But we were defeated because the crane in the clouds was in the east, and he knew the eastern terrain well, he was good at avoiding the heavy and light, and was good at fighting terrain warfare. Infantry has a great advantage in jungles, mountains, and siege and defense battles, while cavalry cannot use its advantages such as mobility in small areas. There are many mountains and rivers in the eastern part of our country, especially the lofty mountains and mountains in the province occupied by the crane in the clouds, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he only needs to use the terrain to suppress our army, let our army be beaten passively, and wear down the fighting spirit of our army a little bit, and then he can achieve victory, and this is the reason why our army is losing and retreating one after another and suffering heavy losses. Nan Xuanji explained.

Listening to Nan Xuanji's explanation, Ye Shumao suddenly opened up, and his thoughts became much clearer. "On the way to support the commander of the sea with the three armies, we were attacked many times by a small group of rebels in the clouds, and each time we pursued, the cavalry could not quickly pursue because of mountains and other reasons, so that the cranes in the clouds attacked our army, and the right and left wings suffered heavy losses and low morale. Ye Shu pondered for a moment, and suddenly threw out a question, "These art of war are recorded, and the sea commander must know all kinds of things that Uncle Fang Cai said after a hundred battles. It's just that...... Even so, we have no way to solve it, so how can Uncle Cousin redeem the defeat?"

Nan Xuanji said lightly, "Unexpectedly, a large number of scouts sneaked into the rear. ”

"Scouts?" Ye Shu pondered for a moment, "What's the use of the scout army?" "It's true that scouts are an army that inquires about information, but at this time, because of the terrain, even if they get accurate enemy intelligence, it's useless.

Nan Xuanji's expression was flat, but the corners of his eyes slightly outlined a trace of arc. "Why does Your Highness think that the role of scouts is only to spy on intelligence?"

Ye Shu's expression changed greatly after hearing this, "What does Uncle Cousin mean...... Could it be ......"

"Some time ago, the camp of Aligon, the commander of the Left Wing Army of the Crane in the clouds, was burned, and Arigon was killed in the chaos, which was done by the scout army. Nan Xuanji said lightly.

"No wonder the crane in the clouds has been shrinking recently. Ye Shu laughed, "The loss of a general, the crane in the cloud doesn't know how painful his heart is." Uncle Cousin's clever plan!"

As he spoke, a herald came in from outside the tent. "His Royal Highness, the troops led by King Guang and King Qi have arrived in Hariyah Province and are currently stationed in the Governor's Mansion of Haryah Province. ”

"When did they arrive?" asked Ye Shufa.

"It's here today. The herald replied.

"You go down first. Ye Shu waved his hand, and the herald stepped back. Ye Shu glanced at Nan Xuanji sideways, Nan Xuanji's eyes were empty, the whole person was uncertain, he didn't know what he was thinking, he stood up straight, and his left hand habitually rubbed on his clothes.

"What's wrong with Uncle Cousin?" Ye Shu was surprised by Nan Xuanji's performance.

Nan Xuanji only paused for a second before recovering his expression, but his tone was as cold as before, exuding coldness and calmness like a mountain. Nangong Ying is very similar to Nan Xuanji in personality, and most of them have been influenced by Nan Xuanji.

"What is Your Highness going to do?" Nan Xuanji suddenly spoke, with a poignant murderous aura in his eyes.

Yeshu was inexplicable, just a normal answer, "Temporarily withdraw the army back to Harya, meet with Yelan and discuss the war." Other than that...... Shen Kuo's affairs had to be hidden. ”

......

The three armies of the Central Army remained on the battlefield, with Hai Shengyue leading the overall situation, and Ye Shu and Nan Xuan led the light cavalry back to Harya Province from the trail.

Yelan and Yefan didn't stay in the Governor's Palace, they just stayed in an inn in Hariyah Province. The last time he was attacked, Yelan really stabbed himself several times in the fake play, it was in the cold winter season, the cold wind was cold, and the wounds on his body were painful, Yelan resisted all the way, and went to the inn to quickly prepare the wound medicine with the medicine powder he carried. Although Yelan is not as interested in medicine as Bai Tu, and is very spiritual, but after all, he was taught by Yinzhu Jun, and his medical skills are not bad.

"Fourth brother. Ye Fan knocked on the door twice, Ye Lan said "um", Ye Fan came in, his expression was a little bad, and he also showed disgust. "When Ye Shu arrived, he sent someone to invite the fourth brother and me to go to the governor's mansion, saying that it was a matter of discussion. ”

Ye Lan had already guessed that Ye Shu would rush back soon, so he was not nervous, nor did he panic at all, but Ye Fan was a little worried, "Princess Beixuan is Ye Shu's fiancée, and now that she has been robbed, presumably Ye Shu will be angry with the fourth brother, his fourth brother knows it, and he may not know how to treat the fourth brother." ”

What Ye Fan said, Ye Lan knew it in her heart. Yeshu is arrogant, because her mother is the emperor's favorite concubine and has a prominent family background, so she doesn't take Yelan Yefan in her eyes, she was like this when she was young, and she is like this now. Although there are no seizures on weekdays, he seems approachable and harmonious, but after leaving the imperial capital, it is difficult to say what Yeshu will do.

"Presumably he doesn't know what happened in the capital. Yelan said lightly. - Emperor Zhaoning blocked the news, and there were people from the Iron Blood Army watching in the dark, presumably no one had the courage to tell Ye Shu about the matter.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Let's go. Yelan spoke, but as soon as he took a step, he leaned over, his whole body trembled, and he subconsciously supported his knees with his hands.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Ye Fan hurriedly ran over to support Ye Lan.

Yelan frowned, holding back the pain, and looked at her knees. - In the early years, Ye Shu broke his leg, but after being cured by the master, he still left a hidden disease, and he didn't want to attack at this time, is it a bad omen?

"It's fine. Ye Lan waved his hand, rested for a while, his knee recovered a lot, and it didn't hurt so much, he said lightly to Ye Fan, "Let's go." ”
