"General Yu, it is Lingcheng Temple in Yutian County. Skinny said to join the army.

Miao Qianqian said: "This person has such ability, and he can stop tens of thousands of rebels with thousands of county soldiers. ”

The thin man was about to say something, but he was stopped by the old man joining the army. Miao Qianqian looked at the two of them and said, "There is something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak." ”

"Yes. The thin soldier responded and said, "This person originally served as Jing Zhaoyin in Yuecheng, but because he offended Zhang Shangshu, he was demoted to Yutian as a county commander. This person's talent can be described as a world of wonders. When it comes to commanding the army and governing the country, in the next opinion, there is no one who can compare with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

Miao Qianqian frowned and said, "I also knew that Qin Su excluded dissidents in the court, but I didn't expect it to come to such a point. ”

"Although the matter between the DPRK and China is imminent, the current top priority should be how to rescue Yutian City. "Skinny to join the army.

Miao Qianqian nodded and said, "You, what's your name." ”

The thin soldier smiled and said: "My surname is Zuo Mingqiao, and the official worships Langzhong of the military department." ”

"Then it's up to you to analyze the situation. ”

"Yes. Zuo Qiao answered, and then pointed to the map, "Our army Cangyang Wei 50,000 is now stationed in Xingpan Pass, except for a small number of scouts who are out to reconnoitre. There are a total of twelve cities west of Xingpan Pass, and there are still five cities under the control of our army, but now Yutian City is about to be broken, which is really a top priority. ”

"How are the enemy forces currently distributed?"

Zuo Qiao said: "The total number of enemy troops is also 50,000 at present, but it is inevitable that the army will not be expanded, according to the scout's report, there are now more than 40,000 rebels besieging Yutian, and the remaining 10,000 should be scattered in the various cities occupied by the rebels." ”

Miao Qianqian looked at the map and pondered for a while, "Do you deduce how many soldiers and horses there will be in Changyuan City now?"

"It shouldn't be more than seven thousand, but it won't be less than five thousand. ”

"Why?"

"Changyuan City is an important town, leaving thousands of soldiers and horses, if it can be dispatched properly, it can stop tens of thousands of troops. Moreover, the rebels still have many other cities in their hands, and they will have to divide their forces to defend them. However, Changyuan City is the base camp of the rebels, and their grain and grass will definitely be left in Changyuan City, so there will not be too many soldiers and not too few soldiers. "Left Bridge Road.

Miao Qianren said: "Xingpanguan is about one hundred and fifty miles away from Changyuan City, and there are three cities separated by each other, two of which are under the control of our army, and the remaining one city is only a small city, and the garrison should not exceed 1,000 people." Our army has a total of 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, if the cavalry gallops, the troops can come to the city of Changyuan in one day, if they are full of energy, maybe they can capture Changyuan. ”

Zuo Qiao pondered for a while and said: "I don't think Changyuan City can be captured by our army so easily, the city wall of Changyuan is thick and the city is high, if our army does not have heavy siege equipment, it is not easy to capture Changyuan City, if you carry heavy siege equipment, then it will inevitably delay the speed of the march and attract the attention of the enemy, and when the time comes, the 40,000 army will return to defense, and our army will be defeated in two strikes." ”

Miao Qianqian smiled and said, "What if our army is only luring the enemy, not attacking the city?"

Zuoqiao's eyes lit up, and he deduced it on the map and said: "If our army can reach Changyuan within one day, it will inevitably shake the heart of the army besieging Yutian, and the rebels are mainly infantry, Yutian and Changyuan are separated by two hundred miles, and if they retreat, it will take three days at the earliest." ”

"When the time comes, our army will be able to break through the enemy army in one fell swoop by taking advantage of the terrain and then taking advantage of the terrain. Miao Qianren said.

But Zuo Qiao frowned and said: "Although this plan is good, there are also flaws. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"The major generals of our army, most of the generals in the army are adapted from the southern generals, and they are not familiar with the troops, if there is a mistake, it will be self-defeating. ”

Miao Qianren said: "Cangyangwei's predecessor was the former dynasty Yulingwei, and I was originally the head of the Yulingwei, so it is better to let me lead the army." What do you think?"

"Absolutely not, the general is the body of ten thousand gold, how can I risk the arrow, if something goes wrong, how can I explain to Your Majesty." "Joining the army at that age is dissuasion.

Miao Qianqian said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, as a general, if you don't take the lead, won't you fall into the laughing stock." ”

The old man was about to say something, but he saw Zuo Qiao and said: "The general's move will definitely succeed in one fell swoop, if you don't dislike it, Zuo Qiao can also get on the horse and fight, how about letting Zuo Qiao and the general march into Changyuan together?"

Miao Qianren was overjoyed and said: "With the help of the left bridge, the big thing can be decided." Then he turned to the rest of the army roads, "Pass my order, immediately bury the pot to make rice, prepare enough dry food for ten days, and march to Changyuan tonight." ”

The City Lord's Mansion of the Little Lonely City

In the past few days, Yu Che and the three of them have been waiting for Lan Gongying's news, in their spare time, Yu Che is practicing exercises with Yu Rui and Su Mengan, and it can be regarded as a slight success in a few days, this day is also idle, Yu Che and Yu Rui are discussing some details of Yunyu, and Su Mengan is sitting on the stone bench watching the two. Su Mengan was about to squint for a while, but saw a person walk in from outside the door of the small courtyard, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was Lan Gongying. At that moment, he got up and said, "The Blue City Lord is not busy with official business, but it is not the result of the matter that the little old man asked?"

Lan Gongying smiled and said, "As Su Lao expected, this is indeed the case. ”

When Yu Che saw Lan Gongying coming, he also stopped discussing with Yu Rui, and walked towards Lan Gongying and said, "My nephew has seen my uncle. ”

Lan Gongying smiled when he saw Yu Che coming: "You guy has seen me once since he called Xiaogucheng, didn't you forget my uncle?"

Yu Che scratched his head and said, "Aren't I busy?" ”

Lan Gongying patted Yu Che's head and said, "You guy, your mouth is slippery, hurry up and practice, I still have something to say to your master." ”

Yu Che smiled and walked to the side with Yu Rui.

"If the Blue City Lord has anything, just say it. Su Meng'an said.

Lan Gongying looked at Su Meng'an and said, "Old Su, I have already purchased most of what you told me before, but the snake tendons and essence blood of this white jade indigo blood snake are very difficult to get." ”

Su Mengan frowned and said, "If these two things are missing, the chances of subduing the Northern Pluto God Kun are not small." ”

Lan Gongying said again: "But there is good news, the Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce has shipped a bottle of white jade indigo blood snake essence blood, but there is no white jade indigo blood snake tendon. ”

"What about the price?" Su Mengan hurriedly asked.

Lan Gongying sighed and said: "This Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce is cunning and tight, they want to sell this white jade indigo blood snake essence blood at the auction in three months, I sent someone to negotiate with it, but I didn't get any response, but it was a headache." ”

Su Meng'an pondered slightly: "It's okay if you wait for March, but I'm afraid that the Northern Pluto God Kun will wake up early." I wonder if the city lord has any news of the white jade indigo blood snake tendon?"

Lan Gongying shook his head helplessly and said: "I sent people to inquire all over the small lonely city, but there is no such thing, and I also sent a bounty task in Shangwutang, but now it is a bit of a headache to not be able to go to the Frozen Ice Field." ”

Su Mengan nodded and said, "If you don't have it, there's no way, you can only take a risk." ”

Lan Gongying thought of something, so he took out two white jade bottles from the Cloud Swallowing Ring and handed them to Su Meng'an and said, "These are two pairs of Gathering Spirits, you can put them away." My nephew still needs you to take care of him. ”

Su Meng'an and Lan Gongying looked at each other and smiled, and then they packed the two pairs of Gathering Spirit Shengyou into their Cloud Swallowing Ring. The two were about to continue, but they saw a person running from outside the door, wearing white armor and seeing Lan Gongying, he gave a military salute and said: "City Lord, there has been a riot of spirit beasts on the permafrost ice field, and the seven outposts five hundred miles away have all received an impact, General Feng Xizhu is leading many sergeants, relying on the terrain and fighting and retreating, and has now been pushed to the north of the city three hundred miles away." Feng Xizhu in the sergeant's mouth is Feng Cunzhu's younger brother, and his strength has also reached the realm of the sword king Xiaocheng, who has been in the post party in the north of Xiaogu City before, Lan Gongying and Su Mengan frowned when they heard what the sergeant said.

Lan Gongying said: "Does Old Su know why these spirit beasts are rioting?"

Su Meng'an stroked his beard and said: "According to my speculation, these spirit beasts should have been stimulated by the Northern Pluto Divine Kun, my Beast God Sect has a secret method that can calm the irritability of these spirit beasts, can the Blue City Lord let the old man help out?"

Lan Gongying was overjoyed and said: "If Su Lao helps, he will definitely succeed in one fell swoop." Then he turned to the sergeant who came to report and said, "You first ordered all the members of the escort team in the city to go to the city, and ordered someone to notify the Wan Qi Chamber of Commerce, Shangwutang and Baicao Pavilion to order him to go to help, and then inform Feng Xizhu and ordered him to preserve his strength and be sure to bring all the soldiers outside the city back to Xiaogu City." ”

The white-armored sergeant answered and went to give the order, and Su Mengan called Yu Che and Yu Rui and said, "You two should also go to help out." As they spoke, they went to the north gate of the small lonely city together.

That night, the apricots were closed

Miao Qianren changed into a black battle armor, and the red horse under his crotch was also smeared with mud and sand, but it was not dazzling at night, and all the sergeants behind him were wearing black armor, and the horses under his crotch were also coated with mud and sand. Zuoqiao was dressed like this, but he was holding a spear, Miao Qianren nodded at Zuoqiao, raised his long knife, and the 30,000 cavalry quietly went in the direction of Yutian County.

The army was fast, and after half an hour it had traveled seventy miles, and the army came to the edge of a lake. Miao Qianren immediately ordered to get off the horse and rest, but he must keep quiet. All the people ordered and forbidden, and they all drank their horses and rested for a while.

After about a quarter of an hour, Miao Qianren looked up at the sky, and ordered the army to mount again, bypass the last city occupied by the rebels in front, and go straight to Changyuan.
