Chapter 644: March
After taking the state of Yu, Jiang Sheng, the monarch of the state of Ye, immediately sent troops to attack the state of Zhao, because at this time, the state of Zhao and the state of Yun had not yet joined forces, and it was the easiest time to be taken.
On the Zhao side, since the kings of Ye and Yu were arguing about the merger, they had already sent spies into these two countries to obtain information, so they quickly learned the latest news from the spies.
Since Ye Guo was going to attack Zhao Guo, Zhao Guo had no choice but to rise up to fight, and at the same time, he continued to lobby Yun Guo to help.
Due to the urgency of the situation, on the night when he received the message from the spies, Li Pei immediately convened his ministers to discuss the battle matters.
At this time, the Ye State, which had already annexed the Yu State, was obviously much larger in strength and strength than the Zhao State, and it was obviously not easy for the Zhao State to compete with it.
First of all, the troops are insufficient, and secondly, from the terrain point of view, the terrain of Ye is higher, and Zhao is at the bottom, so there is no advantage in battle.
On the issue of troops, Xiao Diyuan proposed to recruit volunteers from the people of the whole country, and as for the problem of fighting in inferior terrain, he proposed that people with rich combat experience or theories should be appointed as generals and adjutant generals.
Li Pei adopted his suggestion, and on the same day he called for volunteers from all over the country, and summoned all his ministers to elect ideal generals and lieutenants.
Xiao Diyuan and Jiang Yuetang were both nominated and selected, but they were assigned to different battalions.
Xiao Diyuan served as the captain and general of the ninth team, and the deputy general was Zhang Wenxi, a member of the strategist group. Jiang Yuetang is the deputy general of the 10th team, and the main commander of this team is You Cunbin, the secretary of the military department.
During the battle, the two teams were a group, so Jiang Yuetang could contact Xiao Diyuan every day.
Ye sent a total of 800,000 soldiers, rushing towards Zhaoguo, the place where the team walked through the sand and dust, the sky was dark and dark, like the end of the world.
Zhao Guo poured everything he had, together with the volunteers recruited from the peasants, it was only 580,000, and it was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and momentum, so although the main generals and deputy generals of each team were all selected talents in the art of war, they still quickly gained the upper hand when the two armies faced each other.
However, the morale of the Zhao army was very strong, and it was also very flexible in battle, so although it had a slight advantage, it could not be destroyed, and even the two sides had to start a protracted war.
The two sides take the Canglan River as the boundary, and each is stationed in the mountains and woods by the river, and they fight every few days, but there is no way to shake the roots of the other party after each battle, so the military divisions, main generals and deputy generals of the two sides want to break their heads.
On this day, Xiao Diyuan suddenly came up with a plan, planning to send a small group of people disguised as fishermen to the enemy's side, enter the enemy's camp and burn it after fire, so as to destroy the enemy's food.
The most indispensable thing in a march and war is weapons and food, if the food is cut off, it will definitely not survive for a few days.
Everyone agreed.
Soon, eight people took the initiative to ask.
Xiao Diyuan told them about the specific operation.
That night, after it was dark, the eight men disguised themselves as fishermen and drove the boat up the Canglan River, and after driving about half a mile, they slowly headed in the direction of Yejun's camp.
The people of the Ye army immediately became vigilant and hurriedly prevented them from entering the depths.
At that moment, one of the eight took out a short knife and struck it at the man's neck, and the man fell.
The eight people immediately went inside, still using this method to kill the roadblocks one by one. After about half an hour, they entered the central part of Ye's camp and immediately set fire to the grain depot.
But the fire was discovered before it was lit, and the eight of them saw that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly hid to the side and changed into the same clothes as the Ye army's military uniforms that had been prepared long ago, and then blended into the army's ranks.
After the enemy returned to his post, one of the eight men set fire to the granary of the enemy camp again, but this time he was captured by the enemy who was lying in ambush on one side, and not long after, the other seven were also captured, and died by the enemy's sword before dawn.
The failure of this plan somewhat hit the morale of the Zhao army, but fortunately, the generals encouraged them in time, and everyone's morale recovered a day later.
Since this plan didn't work, everyone had to find another way.
That night, autumn frost began to fall in the sky, and after one night, everyone woke up to find that the distant mountains were covered with a layer of white, and the climate suddenly became much cooler.
It's really time to fly, and it's September in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Yuetang and two members of the 10th team routinely patrolled the riverbank, and after making sure that there was no danger, they returned to the makeshift wooden house in the center of the camp.
In the wooden house, Xiao Diyuan, You Cunbin and other ten main generals and five deputy generals were in a meeting, and when they saw Jiang Yuetang coming in, the corners of Xiao Diyuan's mouth were slightly smiling.
"Everything is fine on the riverbank. Jiang Yuetang reported to everyone, then put the sword on the table next to him and sat down at the round table.
The discussion was still about how to deal with the enemy, and they did not come up with a satisfactory countermeasure until noon, so they went to lunch first, and then continued in the afternoon.
Jiang Yuetang and Xiao Diyuan deliberately waited for everyone to leave before slowly walking out of the wooden house.
Just as Jiang Yuetang was about to walk towards the makeshift kitchen, Xiao Diyuan grabbed her violently and said, "Let's go to the grass next to the second camp and sit for a while before going to eat." ”
Without waiting for her to say anything, he pulled her straight over there.
Jiang Yuetang was growing up, and she was already grumbling with hunger at this time, so she said coquettishly: "I'm hungry and want to eat." ”
Xiao Diyuan suddenly took out a well-wrapped pastry from his pocket and said, "Specially reserved for you." ”
Jiang Yuetang was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly took it, and thanked her while eating.
When the army is out, it is actually rare to eat pastries, but because Xiao Diyuan likes to eat them, the middle-aged chef will make them every four or five days.
Yesterday the chef did it again. Due to the large number of people, only two pieces were distributed to each person.
Jiang Yuetang didn't expect Xiao Diyuan to leave her a piece, so after eating two bites, she stopped and handed the remaining half to Xiao Diyuan.
Xiao Diyuan smiled and opened her mouth, and she directly put the pastry into his mouth.
When she tried to take her hand back, he bit her finger violently, then reached out to take her hand and kissed her fingers one by one.
Jiang Yuetang's somewhat cold hand was grabbed by his warm big hand, and she suddenly felt a warmth from his hand into her body, making her feel full of warmth.
He kissed her finger and pulled her into his arms, holding her close to him.
Jiang Yuetang blushed and struggled, and said, "In case someone comes." ”
Xiao Diyuan replied while chewing on the pastry: "There will be no at this time." ”
As he spoke, he looked at her face and said, "I've been thinking about you all the time these nights, and I'm afraid you won't sleep well." ”
In fact, he has always been worried about her, and all men in the army except her are, and even though she has always hidden her identity well, he is still not at ease.

Dear friends, the second watch is here.
