There was still half a sun left in the sky, glowing with a dim yellow light, and the corpses within a radius of a mile were all cleaned, but when the wind blew, there would still be bursts of foul stench, and countless crows circled in the sky, making a terrible cry.

Su Jingchen and Long Er put down the last rejection horse, leaned to the side and gasped softly.

"Little brother, I can't see it, your little body is quite strong," Ryuuji raised his hand to wipe his sweat, "I remember you are called ...... What's the dust? ”

"Su Jingchen," Su Jingchen stood up straight, casually scattered out a handful of thistle, felt that it was not enough, went to grab another bag, scattered it all, and said, "Be careful not to step on it." ”

"Tuoba Yan is most proud of the cavalry...... But the cavalry siege is useless, if he already knows the news of our arrival at King Qin, sending Chiyun is the best option...... The words of the cavalry......" Nie Qing paced back and forth with his head down, muttering quietly.

"What's long! What are you muttering here? Tell everyone about it. Zhang Xiao suddenly walked over and slapped him on the shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.

"Tuoba Yan will definitely attack from this side!" Nie Qing suddenly called out, startling Zhang Xiao and attracting all the eyes around him.

"Do your job!" The centurion in charge of the fortifications came over and shouted at them, "What? Do you also want to slack off on military affairs? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Zhang Xiao laughed a few times, turned around and went to the other side, pretending to dig a trench.

"That's good! You're all giving me a little bit of spirit! Hear no! The centurion ordered loudly.

"My lord, the villain has something to tell!" Nie Qing suddenly stepped forward and stared at the centurion's eyes with a serious look in his eyes.

"Let's get to work! I'll talk about what I'm done when I'm done. ”

"My lord, this matter is extremely urgent and cannot be delayed!"

Seeing Nie Qing's appearance, the centurion had no choice but to agree first, "Okay, okay, let's hurry up." ”

"Yes, my lord, now that Tuoba Yan is besieging the city, his Chiyun Iron Cavalry is unparalleled in the world, but it is not of any use, if he knows the news of our northern advance to King Qin, he will definitely send troops to intercept it, otherwise once we move forward and form a trap with the imperial capital, then Tuoba Yan will be in a dilemma, and he will inevitably have to retreat to Qingfeng County," Nie Qing turned sideways and stretched out his hand to point in the direction of Shen Shanyuan, "My lord, please see, this sixty miles is a plain with a horse and a flat river, even if there are some ups and downs, it is not enough to hide Tuoba Yan's soldiers, If he attacks from the back, we will find out, but if he attacks from the other side of Wolong Mountain, he can catch us off guard! So we ......"

"Alright," the centurion waved his hand impatiently, "and the head is the way, as if you were right, if you had that ability, would you still be a little chief here?" It's a pity not to be a strategist under the state shepherd. ”

"My lord! But what I'm saying is true! Otherwise, you take me to the state pastor, and I will tell him personally! Nie Qing stepped forward and grabbed the centurion's sleeve and said excitedly.

"Huh, Governor? I still want to see it," the centurion knocked Nie Qing's hand down, and said viciously, "Hurry up and give me work, or I will cure you for the crime of slacking off on military affairs and beat you with a hundred military sticks!" ”

"Yes...... Yes, sir. Nie Qing retracted his hand and walked back dejectedly.

"Second brother, what's going on?" Ryuuji ran over from a distance, looking like he didn't know why, he just felt that his younger brother was being bullied, and he was about to go up and beat the centurion.

"Hey, big brother! I'm fine," Nie Qing hurriedly grabbed him, turned his head and looked again, fortunately, the centurion had already gone far away and didn't see this scene, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm just telling him my opinion, since he won't listen to him and won't take me to see the state pastor, then forget it, hopefully, what I'm talking about is just my imagination." ”

Wang Cheng, Wu Hong, and a large number of his advisors argued in front of a large and elaborate map, while Wang Chengcheng just listened quietly to what each of them had to say.

"My lord, my subordinates think that with Tuoba Yan's arrogance, he will definitely attack from the Shenshan Plains, and the so-called surprise attack in their mouths is absolutely impossible." One of the advisors shouted.

"If Tuoba Yan attacks from the Shen Mountain Plain, we are at the foot of the mountain, the terrain is high, and we can see far away, even if Tuoba Yan attacks at night, most of his red clouds pass through the Shen Mountain Plain, and we can find it ten miles away, and this time is enough for us to be prepared to deal with it, so His Majesty thinks that Tuoba Yan will not attack from the Shen Mountain Plain." Another strategist suddenly stepped forward and refuted the man's words.

"Although Shen Shanyuan is a flat river, can it really not hide Tuoba Yan's army?" Someone suddenly asked such a question.

"I can't hide it," Wu Hong spoke, "Tuoba Yan's thousands of red clouds are all in Gyeonggi, and there is no place where you can hide thousands of red clouds on the Shenshan Plain, no, don't say tens of thousands, even thousands of people, even hundreds, can't hide." ”

"What if he only sends some of the red clouds?"

"Do you think that the red clouds of less than a hundred people can defeat us?" Wu Hong asked coldly.

"No...... No. The questioner stammered suddenly, and he retreated to the outer layer with a red face, and never said a word again.

"What does Lord Wu mean...... Will Tuoba Yan attack from Wolong Mountain? ”

"There are steep cliffs on the east and west sides of Wolong Mountain, ordinary military horses can't go up at all, if he uses the infantry to sneak attack, he can't attack us, not to mention, none of the infantry troops he sent can escape, this kind of lose-lose approach, presumably no one will do it."

"And what if he uses his cavalry to launch a surprise attack on a slightly flat spot on either side?"

"I have already ordered five hundred elite foot soldiers to go to the east and west, three people and one sentry, every three zhang, and the time of one stick of incense must confirm the safety of the nearby sentry posts, and as soon as there is a situation, they will ignite the clouds."

"It's worthy of Lord Wu! In this way, our army is safe. Someone couldn't hold back a word for a long time, so he had to pat Wu Hong's ass.

"Okay, instead of thinking about how to prevent the sneak attack of Tuoba Yan, let's think about what method to use to relieve the siege of the imperial capital!" Wang Cheng waved his sleeves, "Remember what I said, now, you all go back to your respective tents." ”

The strategists withdrew from the tent, and on the way they did not forget to chatter, guarding their own opinions and attacking others, feeling as if only they were right. Everyone left, only Wu Hong was left, he looked at the map, still thoughtful.

"Strategist, do you think we have a chance of winning?" Wang Cheng sighed faintly, the exhaustion he had accumulated along the way exploded at this moment, he leaned back in the chair, slowly closed his eyes, and his tense body relaxed.

"Lord, do you believe me?" Wu Hong asked rhetorically.

"You're the most talented man in my account, but I also know what kind of people our enemies are."

"Tuoba Yan's military talent is unparalleled in the world, since he became the king of Xiliang, those barbarians further north will not dare to set foot in the northern realm of Daxi again, Gongsun Yuan, he is the best strategist in the world in the past fifty years, no, in the past hundred years," Wu Hong paused, "If he is here, give him three thousand soldiers and horses, no need to be elite, our chances of victory are very small." ”

"Is he really that powerful?"

"Yes, you can never guess where he will be, when he will suddenly attack, the so-called winner of Gongsun Yuan wins the world, this sentence is not false at all, but he will not come to our side in person, the imperial capital is the difficult bone to gnaw, if the imperial capital cannot be attacked for a long time, then ......" Wu Hong laughed slyly, his voice suddenly became louder, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, "What we have to do, as long as we survive their first attack, if we fail once, they will lose the opportunity and can only retreat, and then we will only need to take the elite to march quickly." , the rear army packed up the axle and slowly followed, once it converged with the imperial capital and formed an encirclement of Tuoba Yan, then Tuoba Yan would almost be defeated. ”

"Really?" I don't know why, Wang Cheng's voice revealed exhaustion, "You go down first, I want to be alone for a while." ”

"Yes, my lord." Wu Hong was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something more, but he looked at Wang Cheng, and seemed to understand something, bowed slightly, and withdrew from the camp, "Then your majesty will retire immediately." ”

Wang Cheng sighed again, and turned his head to look at the flickering fire outside the tent, "Isn't the light of Daxi like this fire now?" Flickering and uncertain, even if the siege of the imperial capital is lifted now, how long can this dawn shine? ”
