Yumen Pass.

Chu Yuqing received a report from the scout, and the Lan Yuguo battalion dispatched another thousand men and horses towards the surrounding villages and towns.

Yesterday's battle report, Luo Cheng had already sent someone to send it, and when he learned that Yan Yun's eighteen cavalry easily annihilated 500 enemy troops, he didn't care much about this matter.

No matter what kind of flaws Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry has, in short, this combat power is real, and there is no need to care about anything else at present.

On the contrary, after knowing the combat effectiveness of Yanyun's eighteen cavalry, he found Xiao He again, and asked Xiao He to increase his efforts to find suitable children according to the conditions given by Luo Cheng, and the place was not just limited to Xizhou, just find it!

The defective Yanyun Eighteen Riders are already so powerful, if it is the real Yanyun Eighteen Riders who have been cultivated since childhood, what should they do?

Chu Yuqing was full of anticipation.

"Lan Yuguo's side should not launch an attack in a short time, or when this raid is repelled by Yanyun's eighteen cavalry, they will attack immediately, and we must also be prepared and act when the opportunity arises."

Bai Qi, Xue Li and the others were all there, frowning and looking around a map, among which Chu Yuqing's brows were the deepest.

This map......

It's so rough!

As a modern person, he really can't understand it, he can only see a general terrain, and he is helpless, the level of this era is like this.

Fortunately, it was not he who led the troops to fight, Bai Qi and Xue Li could still understand it, otherwise he was afraid that he would be confused.

"Don't worry, the lord is hindered by the Jade Gate Pass, and it will not be easy for the army of Lan Yuguo to break through. What we are now thinking about is how to fulfill the further orders of the Lord! ”

Bai Qi looked at the map and said.

Further order, that is, not only to defend the Jade Gate Pass, but also to fight out!

But this is a difficult thing, because of the lack of troops on his side, if Lan Yuguo forcibly attacks Yumen Pass, even if he defends it, his side will suffer heavy casualties, and fighting is not a simple matter, it is fatal.

What's more, although the 10,000 heavy cavalry is useless for siege warfare, the combat effectiveness that can be exerted on the field battlefield is too powerful!

Not to mention the Chu State, even the three kingdoms of Wei, Yan, and Qi have no good way to deal with heavy armored cavalry like Lan Yuguo, but fortunately, Lan Yu is only a small country, and the number of heavy cavalry is not much.

"There is no need to be tied, conquering the Lan Yu Kingdom is a long-term plan, there is no need to rush for a while, the top priority is to take care of the current battle situation, we still have a lot of time to think about other things."

Chu Yuqing said with a smile.

Bai Qi and Xue Li nodded, it was true to say so, but sometimes they couldn't really do it.

They are generals, not only to win, but also to win good-looking, the purpose of winning good-looking is not to show off, but to show prestige, but also to reduce their own casualties, which is a double thing.

Bai Qi asked Xue Lidao: "Can the Divine Cavalry find out where the grain route of Lan Yuguo belongs?" ”

Xue Li shook his head: "The vast desert is too difficult to find, we are too disadvantaged in this regard, and it is unlikely that it will be in a short period of time." ”

Bai Qi said again: "If you can't find it, you have to find it, if you want to win beautifully, you must find the opponent's grain channel, otherwise we can only defend passively." ”

No matter how small Lan Yuguo is, it is also a country, and it is a unified country, but on Chu Yuqing's side, there is only one Xizhou that was "forcibly taken" by him, and the pressure on one state against one country is still a bit great.

With the strength of Xizhou, it is actually possible to raise more soldiers, but this is too much burden for the people of Xizhou, and it is impossible to exceed this level in a short period of time, otherwise it will be a reckless army.

If Chu Yuqing wants to develop Xizhou into his rear, he needs to meet two conditions, one is to completely solve the threat of Lan Yuguo, otherwise he will lead the army out to fight in the future, and Lan Yuguo will definitely have a headache to death if he is making trouble in the back, which is the most important thing to solve.

The second is to make Xizhou rich and strong, not only to make the people rich, but also to make the army strong, and to provide him with a steady stream of various materials and soldiers, so as to provide him with strong backup, no matter what the outcome of the war abroad, at least if he is defeated, there will be no place to go.

Under this strategic policy of the general direction, the potential of Xizhou cannot be overdrawn at present, on the contrary, Chu Yuqing must use various methods to completely ease Xizhou's breath.

Previously, Lan Yuguo had been plundering the border, and many people were overwhelmed, and they were either killed or fled to the interior of Chu State, which is the fundamental reason why Xizhou is weak now.

At this moment, Xizhou can be said to be the extent of the great damage to the vitality, which is not much better than the entire Chu State, which will take a long time to recover.

"The people's livelihood and government affairs in Xizhou still need Xiao He to worry more about you, this is the foundation of our future."

Chu Yuqing has high hopes for Xiao He, and believes that he will not let himself down, after all, in Chu Yuqing's heart, Xiao He is the "first phase of the ages", of course, this first refers to the development of the rear.

Speaking of the ability to build the rear, Chu Yuqing really doesn't know who can compare with him, Xun Yu in the Three Kingdoms period is one, but Xun Yu has not reached the level of Xiao He, it can only be said that he is comparable to Xiao He, but it is too difficult to say.

Listening to Chu Yuqing's words, Xiao He didn't say anything, just nodded, and bowed with a smile, indicating that he received his order.

"Report!"

The people continued to deliberate for a while, when they heard a loud shout, and the next moment they had already entered the house.

"Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, the good news is coming, General Luo Cheng led Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry to annihilate the enemy army of 1,000 men and horses again, and the soldiers of Lan Yuguo only fled back to more than ten people, General Luo Cheng suggested that our army take this opportunity to take the initiative to attack!"

The soldier who reported the news knelt on one knee, and after finishing speaking, he did not move like a mountain, and Chu Yuqing waved his hand to let him retreat.

"Lord, Lan Yuguo has been defeated twice in a row, although the impact is not great, but there is still a blow to morale, and the last general will ask for battle!"

After the messenger left, Xue Li immediately stood up, looked at Chu Yuqing and said.

"We know the surrounding terrain, and Lan Yuguo also knows that this is a tough battle without any conspiracy and tricks, our army is only 18,000 people, do you really want to fight with it?" Chu Yuqing was a little worried, after all, this was not a joke.

Bai Qi said: "The lord's words are wrong, fighting is not just a trick in the art of war, General Xue asked for battle, not to defeat the enemy army with one blow, but to continue to hit the morale of the enemy army on the battlefield, and the two sides are just testing each other." ”

Chu Yuqing thought about it, since Bai Qi and Xue Li both said so, then there would be no problem, when it came to fighting, no one would be able to tie up ten hundred by themselves, since this was the case, then listen to their opinions.

"Okay, I don't understand you anyway, if you think it's better, then do it, I'll supervise the battle at the head of the city."

Xue Li clenched his fists: "Thank you, lord, the last general will go here." ”

With that, he turned around and flicked his cloak and strode away.

Not long after, the gate of the Jade Gate opened, and Xue Li led five hundred brave cavalry and three thousand elite infantry out of the city and headed towards the camp of Lan Yuguo.

Lan Yuguo also got the news that Chen Bao led an army of 5,000 out of battle, and Xue Li was in a position of more than ten miles between Lan Yuguo's camp and Yumen Pass, and the two sides were about 100 meters apart, lined up.

The two sides combined were less than 10,000 people, but the military formations on both sides were extremely rigorous, although Chu Yuqing couldn't really see it, he could also see the two sides of the confrontation, and he felt that he urgently needed a telescope.

Standing at the head of the city, looking at the battlefield more than ten miles away, the two small dots each rushed out of their own phalanx, Chu Yuqing didn't know the specific situation, so he could only listen to Bai Qi explain to him.

"The enemy sent a general, General Xue also shot the horse to fight, the two fought in one place, this is to fight the general, the other party's general is okay, but unfortunately he met General Xue, and he will be beheaded under the horse!"

Bai Qi Spirit Realm peak cultivation, operating spiritual power to the position of the eyes, can greatly enhance vision, Chu Yuqing can't do it for the time being, but he believes in Xue Li.

"I knew I wasn't in the city, how good it would be to go with me, the fighting generals before the battle, I used to only watch it on TV, but it's a pity that ......"
