Chapter 17: Have a good drink with me
In Sands City, Ye Youhuan joined Murong Jinyu's camp.
After that, he followed Murong Jinyu and attacked the city all the way, recovering six county towns and one state city in a row.
The next stop is the nearest city pass to Yehuling, Yepo Pass.
The garrison of Yehuling learned of Murong Jinyu's rebellion, and dispatched two armies with a total of 5,000 people to Yepi Pass to guard the city pass, wanting to rely on the canyon and the city pass to block Murong Jinyu's army.
Whether or not this city can be occupied is related to whether Murong Jinyu can successfully restore the country.
Ryoto's side has walls to defend and has a great advantage in battle.
The advantage on Murong Jinyu's side is the number of people.
Along the way, as Murong Jinyu said before, the people who defected to her are indeed like carp crossing the river, countless, and the siege of the city has so far, not only has there not been much loss, but the number of troops has grown to nearly 20,000.
Although most of these people are not formally trained, they all have a warm blood.
Murong Jinyu fulfilled his promise to Ye Youhuan and made him the commander of a battalion, with five hundred men under his command, all acting on his orders.
On the way to the march, Ye Youhuan always mixed with the female medical officer in the camp.
These medical officers were all carefully selected by Ye Youhuan.
All young and pretty.
And with an open personality.
In Ye Youhuan's words, a good medical officer must not only know how to save lives and help the wounded, but also boost morale.
"Once upon a time there was a baby wolf who was born without meat and only vegetarian, and his parents were very worried. One day, when the parents saw the baby wolf chasing a rabbit, they were very relieved and just wanted to praise a few words...... But I saw the baby wolf grab the rabbit and threatened: hand over the carrots! ”
Ye Youhuan was telling jokes to the female medical officer, and several medical officers who were laughing were showing off their branches.
"Whew-" The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Zhong Ling said at the door, "Big cousin, I guess you're here." ”
"Cousin!" Ye Youhuan greeted: "We're chatting happily, you come and chat together!" ”
"Tomorrow will launch a general attack on Wild Fox Ridge, and you are still in the mood to chat with women here!" After Zhong Ling finished complaining, he beckoned: "Let's go, the lord asked us to go to the pre-war meeting." ”
"Got it!" Ye Youhuan said goodbye to the five female medical officers and followed Zhong Ling's footsteps.
Walking through the tent, Ye Youhuan raised his head with his chest straight.
He used to be penniless, but now he is the commander of a battalion of 500 people.
The big tent was in the center of the camp, guarded by four small soldiers in front of the tent gate.
When Ye Youhuan saw these little soldiers, his expression was a little dazed.
Once, he, like these creeps, was insignificant.
Ye Youhuan remembered that he had also guarded the military tent.
At that time, standing at the door of the tent, Ye Youhuan asked himself when he would be able to make a contribution and hold a meeting in the tent, how majestic it was!
At that time, the veteran beside him advised Ye Youhuan not to be whimsical.
He has been a soldier for more than ten years, but he is still an ordinary soldier. The veteran looked down on Ye Youhuan and felt that Ye Youhuan was arrogant.
"It's a pity that the stupid fork didn't guard the gate here, otherwise let him take a good look at Lao Tzu's achievements today." Ye Youhuan hopes to let the veterans who underestimated him before look at his achievements today.
Walking into the military tent, Ye Youhuan was immediately called to her side by Princess Jinyu.
He looked around, only to find that all the people who had come to the meeting were officials at the level of military commanders and envoys.
He knew quite a few battalion commanders, but none of them were there.
There were about a dozen people in the big tent, and he was the lowest.
This made Ye Youhuan's newly established sense of honor disappear immediately.
"I think this combat meeting is only at the level of military commanders, I don't know what the princess is doing when she asks me to be the commander of this small battalion?" Ye Youhuan was dissatisfied in her heart and immediately expressed it.
"It's because we think so much of you!" It was Long Qian, who was beside Princess Jinyu, who spoke, and he said on behalf of the princess: "Your battalion commander must not be in office for long, after all, with such a powerful cousin to assist, soon your troops will be able to shine and be promoted to a knighthood." ”
"......" Ye Youhuan frowned.
In the past few days of contact, Ye Youhuan always felt that Murong Jinyu and Long Qian often befriended Zhong Ling.
He knew that these two people had taken a fancy to Zhong Ling's force.
But like now, in front of everyone, reminding himself that he can rely on women to take the position, this is difficult for Ye Youhuan to accept.
"In this battle, let my eldest cousin protect the princess!" Ye Youhuan said.
"What do you mean?" Murong Jinyu asked.
"I'll lead the army myself, let you take a good look at my strength, and see clearly whether I rely on my cousin to serve as a commander, or if I have real talent and learning." Ye Youhuan said.
"Okay." Murong Jinyu replied very simply, and said, "If Sister Zhong Ling doesn't mind, let's join the war with the Chinese army." ”
"Yes." Zhong Ling also immediately replied: "Although I want to follow my cousin's side, I control myself, and this battle will not stick to him, so that you can see how powerful my eldest cousin is." ”
"Uh......"
Ye Youhuan said those words impulsively.
In the previous battle, Ye Youhuan didn't feel any pressure at all, because Zhong Ling had always been by his side.
Ye Youhuan believed that as long as Zhong Ling was by his side, no one could pose a threat to him.
Looking at Zhong Ling, who had promised to follow the Chinese army in this battle, Ye Youhuan had a hard time.
If you can be 100% safe, why risk your life to fight?
Ye Youhuan asked herself in her heart: "Let Zhong Ling return to his side?" ”
He didn't want to admit it, so he looked like he was in a dilemma.
"Don't worry, just follow Commander Chen's orders, he will take care of your troops." Long Qian seemed to sense that Ye Youhuan's confidence was a little insufficient.
"I ......"
Ye Youhuan held her breath, but she didn't know how to attack.
He said to the people in the tent: "You should have a meeting first, I am a little unwell, anyway, after the meeting is over, Commander Chen will also repeat it in the army, and I will obey the orders with other colleagues at that time." ”
"What do you feel uncomfortable with?" Murong Jinyu said with concern: "I will call the best military doctor to treat you." ”
"It's okay, I'll just find the medical officer on our team." Ye Youhuan said goodbye to everyone and left in a hurry.
Back in his camp, Ye Youhuan was still indignant.
At this time, he was going to find a few friends.
Having become a battalion commander, he also had his own subordinates.
A battalion was divided into five capitals, each of which had a hundred soldiers at its head.
Ye Youhuan's battalion, the deputy commander is vacant, but the five heads Ye Youhuan are very satisfied, and feel that each of them is a talent.
When Ye Youhuan found someone, the five heads happened to be together
They turned out to be studying military maps in a tent.
"What are you doing to study tomorrow's war?" Ye Youhuan shouted after walking into the tent.
He interrupted the meeting of the five heads and instructed two of them: "Meng Fei and Zhao Liang, you two go and get wine, and everyone will have a good drink with me." ”
