Several generals looked at each other, but they didn't expect the Seventh Prince to agree to this method. After all, they feel that although this method sounds good, it is too risky to operate. They felt that the Seven Princes should be able to think about it.

The eighth prince's face was heavy, and he said in a deep voice, "Seventh brother, this method is not impossible, but when you first came to this border, after all, you don't know as much about this border as I am, there are many barren trees here, but it is laborious to cut them, in case Xiliang attacks, and our soldiers are chopping wood, then we will soon fall behind...", this is his concern.

The generals also echoed their concerns and disapprovals. And Chu Bingze pursed his lips on the side and did not express any opinion.

The Seventh Prince responded, "Eighth brother, if you don't go to collect firewood, then these soldiers have nothing to do if they stay in the camp, and now that the weather is cold, it is better to let the brothers go out to warm up and bring firewood back by the way." ”

The Eighth Prince pondered for a while, and then agreed, "What I said is true, it is true, everyone has nothing to do in the army, and maybe there will be more firewood, but it is better to let the brothers prepare firewood." ”

Several generals exchanged words for a while, and then immediately expressed their agreement.

Chu Yu looked at this scene and smiled helplessly, the same words, if it was really said by the man, it was more convincing.

Things are really as Chu Yu guessed, Xiliang has no follow-up actions, and it is estimated that Bailihuan is still preparing.

The strength of the people is great, and within a few days, the grass and trees in this mountain field have been almost cut down.

When the eighth prince saw the timber that had been piled up, a few traces of deep meaning flashed in his heart, and it seemed that Chu Yu's suggestion was good.

Somewhere in Xiliang, inside a tent.

Bai Lihuan was sitting indifferently, and in front of him stood a soldier in dark armor.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of Beize have cut down all the firewood around them, and I don't know what to do." This soldier was about forty or fifty years old, and he spoke with a thick accent.

Bai Lihuan didn't care and said, "It's cold in winter, I guess I'm not used to the harsh environment here, delay it for a few more days, and when they run out of firewood, we will attack again, and we will definitely be able to break their line." ”

"The emperor is wise." , the soldier arched his hand.

Bai Lihuan waved his hand, and the soldier went out.

Not long after the soldier left, a man with an engraved face wearing dark armor and a red cloak walked in.

His red cloak swayed as he walked in.

"Your Majesty, Beize has already cut down all the grass and trees in the forest, this move is unusual, and it is likely that there is another conspiracy. Our strength is tens of thousands inferior to Kitazawa's forces, but if the other side adopts some siege strategies, we may be outnumbered. As soon as he entered the door, he said to Bailihuan.

This is General Mu Bai, the first general of the Western Liang Kingdom, and almost every war with Beize is led by General Mu Bai. Bai Lihuan admired this general, but more of a feeling.

He didn't have much to do with him, and if it weren't for the fact that he went out on his own expedition, he probably wouldn't have met the general so early.

This general has a bold personality and speaks straightforwardly, which makes Bai Lihuan have a good impression of him, he doesn't like the intrigue in the palace very much, and during this time on the battlefield, his body and mind are very relaxed.

"The soldiers of Beize are not used to the weather here, they just cut more firewood to burn, and the general doesn't have to make such a fuss." , Bai Lihuan still disagreed, in his opinion, Beize's soldiers' actions were just to keep warm, if there were others, it was to better probe their sight, in case their Xiliang Kingdom raided again.

Mu Bai frowned, "Your Majesty, the spies received a rumor that they were chopping wood this time because it was the idea of the Seventh Imperial Concubine of Beize, and the purpose was to set up obstacles. ”

"Barriers?" , Bai Lihuan was not interested in the Seven Princesses in Mu Bai's mouth, but was just puzzled by the obstacles in his mouth.

"Yes, Weichen guesses that Beize set up a barrier to prevent us from raiding, and second, it is very likely that it is to besiege us."

"I think the first one might be bigger." , Baili Huan said in a deep voice, if he wasn't too immature, I'm afraid no one would treat him as a child.

"Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being arbitrary, Weichen feels that Beize's move is likely to be the second plan."

"Whether it's the first or the second, we'll find out in a few days." , Bai Lihuan stood up and said.

"Yes." , Mu Bai knew that he couldn't beat the emperor, so he had to admit it.

A few days passed in a flash, and Xiliang finally sent troops again.

Kitazawa was fully prepared.

The two groups of soldiers had been fighting each other for a long time in the middle of the mountain, but the perimeter had been quietly fenced off.

Xiliang's 80,000 elite soldiers were besieged in the middle of the mountain, and those firewood were scattered around, and neither the light cavalry nor the infantry could easily cross the half-man-high pile of messy firewood.

"General Mu Bai, it seems that you really said it." Bai Lihuan was not very surprised, and suddenly laughed.

General Mu Bai frowned, "It's because Weichen didn't think about it and didn't think about how to deal with it. ”

"No, it's my fault, I should have listened to your advice a long time ago." , Bai Lihuan shook his head.

The cold wind blew and blew the yellow sand all over the place, General Mu Bai's mood was a little complicated, he thought that this cruel-hearted Baili Huan would blame him, but he didn't.

"Bailihuan, I advise you to surrender and submit to Beize." , The Eighth Prince stood at the top of the hill and shouted loudly.

His voice was mixed with internal force, accompanied by the wind, blowing to the middle of the mountain and drifting into the ears of the soldiers of Xiliang.

The soldiers of Xiliang Kingdom were unmoved, but just stood quietly, waiting for the emperor's will.

General Mu Bai looked at the surrounding environment and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the current situation is not optimistic, it is better for us to pretend to surrender and fight again in the future." ”

Bai Li Huan sat on a sturdy horse, which looked a little restless under Bai Li Huan's drive, pacing with small steps.

"General Mu Bai, I look at you quite upright and awe-inspiring on weekdays, but I didn't expect to play these little tricks." , Baili Huan smiled and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of Weichen, Weichen can live on the battlefield for so long, it doesn't rely on simple bravery, the gentleman can bend and stretch, and stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood." , General Mu Bai was not annoyed and said with a smile.

"You're right, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood." , this General Mu Bai really won his heart, Baili Huan said with a smile.

"Okay, let's drop! Bai Lihuan turned to the direction of the Eighth Prince standing on the top of the mountain.

On the other side of the mountain, the Eighth Prince and the Seventh Prince in silver armor stood aside, while several other generals stood at various obstacles, ready to attack the Xiliang cavalry who wanted to escape and rush out.

"Bailihuan is cunning and may be deceitful." , the Seven Princes reminded.

The Eighth Prince nodded, "I also think that he answered too crisply, and he didn't even intend to struggle." ”

"You can give him this letter as evidence." , the seventh prince took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the eighth prince.

The Eighth Prince took it and glanced at it a few times, and asked suspiciously, "When was this letter written?" ”

"Last night." , The Seventh Prince remembered the scene where Chu Yu quietly came to his tent last night and handed him this letter.

"It's still the seventh brother who is thoughtful." The Eighth Prince said meaningfully, and immediately folded the letter again, and then asked a soldier to send it over.

"As long as you sign this letter, you will be counted." , The voice of the eighth prince spread to Bai Lihuan's ears with the wind.

At the same time, the letter was delivered to Bai Lihuan by a soldier running quickly.

Bai Lihuan saw the words on the letter, his mood was a little complicated, he felt that this font was a little inexplicably familiar, just like the handwriting of that sister Yu. But she was just a medical woman, and it was impossible for her to be here, let alone write this letter.

The contents of the letter were not unacceptable to him, leaving 20,000 troops as prisoners, and the rest of them could return safely.

However, 20,000 troops is not a small number, and these soldiers and brothers are brave and good at fighting, which is not comparable to 20,000 soldiers in Kitazawa.

If you break out from here, although you will also lose some brothers, you can at least escape, and you will not have the reputation of surrendering. Thinking of this, Bai Lihuan lit a firework bomb into the air, and Mu Bai didn't know why.

"Your Majesty, let 20,000 soldiers be taken prisoners and then surrender, this condition is too harsh, and Weichen feels that he can fight against the water." , Mu Bai suggested.

Bai Lihuan nodded, "Let's delay a little longer and wait for reinforcements." ”

General Mu Bai was a little stunned, it turned out that the emperor set off fireworks to ask for reinforcements? It seems that this young emperor should not be underestimated.

At this moment, the voice of the Eighth Prince came again, "Bai Lihuan, I only give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, if you don't accept it during this time, then we can only encircle and suppress you." ”

"Okay, that's a quarter of an hour!" , Bailihuan's immature and somewhat rough voice echoed throughout the mountains.

Chu Yu, who was far away in the camp tent with the word "doctor", faintly heard some sounds, and couldn't help but think of the young emperor in his mind, he must have had a hard time. However, she still hoped that he would surrender, because in this way, it would be an excellent choice for both Kitazawa and Xiliang.

She hoped he could surrender. But she also vaguely guessed that he wouldn't give in so easily, and if he gave in so easily, he wouldn't be where he is today.

With all kinds of thoughts, Chu Yu was about to put the ground herb powder on the table into the bottle in batches, but was stopped by a cold voice, "Seventh Princess, you have misplaced the jar." ”

Although the Seventh Imperial Concubine asked them to call her by her name, due to their identity and the eyes of the Seventh Imperial Princess that day, they didn't dare to really listen to the words of the Seventh Imperial Concubine and call her by her name.
