Chapter 321: The Crazy Demon's Song 3
The first snow of winter in the north finally came, but it was a little small, but it was enough to make people feel cold, especially the current border, which can be described as white and cold, and the soldiers defending the city only felt that the limelight was like a knife and a song, not to mention the lack of food and clothing in Beiyi.
"Khan, there's news from Su." Fang Yuan ran in from outside, closed the door and said in a low voice: "Guan Chunge bought a large amount of grain in the south, and he arrived in Songcheng yesterday. ”
"Oh," Ashina put down the map in his hand and asked thoughtfully, "Do you know the exact number." ”
"According to the news reported by the spies, there are 10,000 quintals to say the least." Fang Yuan took out the top-secret letter from his arms and handed it to Ashina respectfully.
Ashina took the kind of paper that was no more than the size of a palm, and the paper was densely written with Beiyi characters, but for a person like Ashina, who saw dozens of lines at a glance, it only took a moment to put the note on the fire and burn it.
"What an official Chunge, he is really a rare talent in the world." Ashina threw away the paper ashes in his hand, shook his head and smiled: "It's a pity that such a talent is in Yousu." ”
"This Guan Chunge is worthy of being the most famous genius in Yousu, and he has already gathered more than 10,000 strong men in just three or four days." Fang Yuan's admiration for Chun Ge can be regarded as indescribable, he has followed Ashina's side for decades, Ashina's worst time was the battle between Songcheng and Chunge, what he didn't expect was that Leshan was killed, but Chun Ge was still able to resist foreign enemies step by step, this kind of indifference in his understanding can only be matched by Ashina.
"It's just a bunch of people, so you don't have to be in the army. Instead, beware of the 40,000 soldiers and horses lent out by the king of the north. Ashina smiled coldly and wrote the words 'forty thousand' on the paper in Chinese characters.
"I really didn't expect that the North King would wade into this troubled water, the North King's personal soldiers have always been well-trained, which is a big trouble." Beiyi has never fought with the North King, who made the North King an iron bone. At that time, I don't know which northern tribe offended the king of the north without a long eye, and the next day, even the tribe led all the people to die under the iron hooves of the king of the north, even if he gave Fang Yuan another 100,000 soldiers and horses, he was not willing to fight with the king of the north.
"I'm afraid that these 40,000 soldiers and horses will reinforce Qinling soon." Although Ashina is conceited, he is never arrogant, and the combat effectiveness of the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern King is also what he has been worried about recently.
"This Qin Ling is an excellent military advisor but not very good at leading troops, if the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern King reach the border, who will lead the army." The most powerful king of Jozan in the north is enjoying happiness in the capital, and the excellent generals in the north are also in their posts, and there is a shortage of generals on the border. With so many soldiers and horses, there is no one to coordinate the overall situation.
"If you want to say that Guan Leshan is not dead. The post of commander-in-chief of the three armies must be his. Leshan's unyielding before his death has been deeply rooted in Fang Yuan's memory. Leshan also became Fang Yuan's most respected general.
"I heard that the King of the North asked his son to lead the troops this time, maybe he will lead the troops." Ashina has never dealt with the prince of the Northern Prince, and he doesn't know what this person is. But just because he is the son of the king of the north, he can't ignore the existence of this person.
"By the way, Khan, Guan Chunge has not announced the death of Guan Leshan." Fang Yuan thought that Leshan's death would deal a fatal blow to Chun Ge, at least make Chun Ge lose his mind, but he waited at the border for three or four days, and he didn't hear the news of Leshan's death, but heard about Leshan's injury and recuperation. Therefore, Guan Leshan is bound to die, and Guan Chunge's secret is not mourning.
"The name of Guan Leshan is not small in Yousu, presumably Guan Chunge didn't want to shake the army's heart, so he deliberately deceived everyone." If Fang Yuan was killed, Ashina would also be like Chun Ge, in order to stabilize the army's morale and suppress the news.
"If we make this news public, won't it disturb the morale of the military at the border?" Although Fang Yuan said this, he didn't have the slightest sense of surprise in his heart, he always felt that Chun Ge would leave such a big hole for them to pick up.
"He wished that someone could promote the news for him." Ashina's eyes narrowed, and he said painlessly: "Now that Su wants soldiers and soldiers, there is food and food, if the news of Guan Leshan's death comes out, I am afraid that it will inspire those soldiers with Su to kill the enemy more bravely." Ashina knew that he had missed the best opportunity to spread the news of Leshan's killing, in fact, as far as he was concerned, he wanted all the people of Su to know that Guan Leshan was dead, because such an atmosphere was undoubtedly the most effective way to fight Chunge.
"It's better to keep it a secret." Fang Yuan lowered his head and sighed, this time Guan Chunge could be said to be the most powerful person he had ever met, on the one hand, he was looking forward to Chunge's counterattack, and on the other hand, he was worried about his side's military salary.
"Why is there not enough food and grass?" Ashina was well aware of the weakness of the Beiyi army, and some of the grain they had snatched from the border was transported back to Beiyi, leaving only a little in the army, and they spent many days at the border, just afraid that the food was almost exhausted.
"I'm afraid that I won't last for seven days, these days the soldiers are saving money, but unfortunately it's snowing, and the weather is freezing and I can't go to the wild to find something to eat." Fang Yuan's physique was considered good, so he only ate one meal a day to satisfy his hunger, and the rest was distributed among other soldiers.
Ashina fell into deep thought, thinking that there was not much food left to bring back to their Beiyi, if there was no more food in the account, I was afraid that their clan would not be able to survive this winter.
"Didn't he buy a lot of grain back by Guan Chunge, or I would bring someone to take it over." Fang Yuan shook the sword at his waist, what did it matter if he risked his life for the sake of the soldiers and people of the Yi clan.
"Guan Chunge's food, ten out of ten ** is used to consume us." Ashina pointed to a hidden valley on the map and said: "If I am not wrong, he will definitely let the 40,000 soldiers of the Northern King help him escort grain and grass here, and we will not dare to act rashly because of the prestige of the Northern King, then this batch of grain can reach the hands of Qin Ling smoothly, as long as the food arrives, Qin Ling does not need to do anything at all, just stand by and wait for us to run out of food and kill ourselves." ”
"Soldiers are not bloody, and Guan Chunge is a good plan." Fang Yuan couldn't help but applaud Chunge, such a labor-saving method could only be imagined by Chunge.
"He's maxed out his strengths and used our weaknesses to the point where there's no scum left." Ashina is not excited to have an opponent like Chunge, but he and Chunge are like him fighting against himself, which is fun but also dangerous.
"Looking at the way Khan looks, he must have thought of a way to deal with it." Fang Yuan has been with Ashina for so many years, and the meaning behind Ashina's subtle expression is that he is clear, and at this time, the corners of Ashina's eyebrows rose, and there must be a countermeasure.
"Didn't he just borrow the power of the king of the north?" Ashina raised his eyebrows, and said evilly: "He expected that Ben Khan would be afraid of that Northern King, hehehe, Ben Khan wanted to test whether the Northern King's soldiers were three-headed and six-armed, or iron-clad." ”
Three days later, Su Youren led his 40,000 soldiers from Songcheng to the border to support Qin Ling, according to official information, Chun Ge let the prince of the North escort a huge amount of grain and grass this time, passing through a valley route of the secret, if it were not for Chun Ge's henchmen, he would definitely not know the slightest.
"Shizi, there are still two days to reach General Qin's station." The one who spoke was a general on a horse, he was a retainer of the king of the north, and this time he followed Su Youren to support Chunge, one was to protect Su Yuren's safety, and the other was to help Yousu resist Beiyi.
"There are two days left, and we have already reached the valley, so we must pay extra attention." Although Su Youren is the son of the king of the north, he has no idea that he has not experienced the baptism of war, and this is a good time to practice.
"Yes" As soon as the general's words fell, a large number of Beiyi soldiers appeared around, showing a siege trend, and his face was calm except for the first time of surprise.
"Swear to defend the grain and grass to the death."
After that, this war has begun, and the surrounding area is full of blood, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Northern King are all good at one in a hundred, and they did not show weakness in the face of Beiyi's surprise attack, so the two sides fell into a stalemate. Su Youren didn't expect Beiyi to send 40,000 people to rob grain, presumably the border must be unguarded at this time.
"Khan, the soldiers of the Northern King really live up to their reputation, and we can't attack them." Fang Yuan took Ashina to the high place on the side, watching the battle situation all the time.
"The 40,000 people in the front have already attracted their attention, so that the 10,000 people in the rear can sneak up at night and quickly evacuate as long as they grab food." Ashina never put his eggs in one basket, and besides, he didn't believe that his 50,000 elite soldiers were still inferior to this mere 40,000.
"Yes" Fang Yuan left in response, presumably the grain and grass should be able to arrive smoothly this time, and it was not in vain that they took the risk of leaving only a few thousand people to guard the city at the border.
The night came as expected, and the 10,000 people of Beiyi went around to the temporary garrison of Yousu from the side, and when someone in the army found out about the night attack, the 40,000 troops in front of Beiyi and the 10,000 troops in the rear had already divided labor and cooperated, and secretly transported the grain and grass out while stumbling the Beiwang army. With a cannon shot, Beiyi's army disappeared into the valley under the cover of night.
"Shizi, the grain and grass are gone." The general is also an old man beside the king of the north, and it is the first time he has suffered such a defeat, and the unconvincing in his heart can be imagined.
Compared with the general's atmosphere, Su Youren didn't have any temper, and said lightly: "Let it go." ”
That night, Su Youren went to the border overnight with the only remaining grain and grass, and at the same time, Ashina and his party did not relax for a moment, and quickly returned to the border by the same route.
"The khan has 5,000 loads of food, enough to feed our army for three months." Fang Yuan looked at the rice with the white flowers that had been bloomed by Su Youren, and smirked vigorously.
"Ben Khan wants to see Guan Chunge's face." Ashina looked at Songcheng, he could imagine that Chun Ge would definitely be half angry, I really don't know what else Chun Ge will do, to be honest, he is looking forward to it.
