Considering the weakness of Zhuoxian's garrison, Yuan Xi sent people back to Jixian County to send an order and send troops to garrison it.

Late Lunar Month.

The snow was falling heavily, and half a foot of snow was accumulated.

The colder wind howled, making the land of Jizhou even colder.

Yuan Xi and Jiao Touch's 10,000 horsemen finally arrived at the northern suburbs of Yecheng.

After Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang got the news, they were worried about the loss of Yecheng. After the mediation of the Liu clan and the Chinese warriors of the dynasty, 20,000 elites were selected to be stationed in the city, and the rest of the troops were led out of the city to actively prepare for war.

This was later referred to as shelving controversy.

Meaning: Regarding the distribution of materials and the right of ownership in Yecheng, let it go first. Concentrate all your forces on a common enemy, and when you have repelled the foreign enemy, you can go back and settle the matter that has been put on hold.

In the tent.

A large stove was placed.

Yuan Xi sat by the fire to keep warm.

"Meet Childe..." Open jaw, Yu Ban, Jiao touch, walked in together.

"Sit."

"I already know the situation in Yecheng. Fortunately, Mr. Fu was in a hurry and saved hundreds of thousands of stone grains and a large amount of fire oil. Otherwise, it will not be easy for us to break into Yecheng. Yuan Xi motioned for them to sit down and said.

"Gongzi Xie..."

After everyone took their seats, Zhang Jaw replied: "The civil and military people in the southern school field are willing to be loyal to the son. The big families and wealthy families in the city also hoped that Gongzi could enter the city and drive away Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and promised some benefits. ”

"Benefits?"

Yuan Xi asked with interest, "What benefits?" ”

"The so-called benefits are nothing more than the sale of some land and the dedication of money and grain to the son. For Childe, it's all low-hanging fruit. Without them making trouble, Gongzi would be more certain to face Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. Jaw opened and replied.

"Hmm...."

Yuan Xi's eyebrows relaxed.

Thinking in his heart, the families and wealthy families in Yecheng all supported Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang before. Now Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are fighting and digging their own graves, causing the interests of the Yecheng family to be damaged and they are reinvested in themselves.

If it goes on like this, the outcome of the battle of Yecheng is very exciting.

Yu Ban arched his hand and said: "Yu Gongzi, after Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang formed an alliance, there are still 140,000 troops. 40,000 were stationed in the city, and 100,000 outside the city. If we storm Yecheng, we will be flanked by troops outside the city. The Admiral thinks that the outside of the city should be dealt with first.... ”

"Hehe..."

Jiao Feng sneered: "General Yu is too careful, right?" How strong can Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's army be? Some time ago, Gongzi went to Daijun to face Tuoba Xianbei and Eastern Xianbei, a full 60,000 iron cavalry, wasn't he also defeated? ”

"I don't think it's so much trouble, just go straight into the city..."

Yu Ban ignored Jiao Touch, and continued: "The officers and men of our army lack training and are weak in combat effectiveness. It is not easy to repel the 100,000 troops outside the city. As for the garrison in the city, it will not come out easily. ”

Yuan Xi said: "I understand what you mean. Fight the 100,000 troops outside the city first, and they will not be flanked by the troops of Yecheng. ”

"Childe is wise."

"You have been in Yecheng for a while, can you figure out what equipment is in Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's army? Are there any trebuchets? Heavy chariots and heavy crossbows? And kerosene? ”

This is what Yuan Xi really cares about.

"The oil is all in the South School Field, and there shouldn't be much in Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's army. However, Yecheng has a large number of trebuchets, heavy chariots and heavy crossbows, as well as mobile arrow towers. Zhang Jaw seemed to understand Yuan Xi's thoughts, and asked, "Is Childe worried that the instrument will hurt the giant ape and the divine elephant?" ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi was indeed worried.

Although the Vajra Giant Ape is strong, it is immune to arrows, but it cannot stop the boulders shot by heavy crossbows and trebuchets. If you are hit, you can be injured or killed.

Yuan Xi didn't want to see his enemy-killing weapon destroyed in the Battle of Yecheng.

"It's all to blame for the generals, who didn't seize Yecheng, so that Yecheng's equipment fell into the hands of the enemy." It is forbidden to blame oneself.

"General Yu doesn't have to blame himself...."

Yuan Xi got up and walked to the side, and poured them each a glass of Qiong Jelly and Jade Liquor: "Warm up." Let's think about it, how to defeat Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and how to occupy Yecheng. ”

"Yes..."

Everyone racked their brains to think.

Yuan Xi also looked contemplative.

After a little.

Zhang Jaw and Yu Ban both suggested luring Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to a place suitable for ambush and annihilation. Although the feasibility is very low, it gave Yuan Xi the inspiration to come up with a strategy of 'success by luck'.

"Give Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang a letter of war, and ask them to come to the decisive battle. I'll find a way to seize their equipment, but if I can't, I'll destroy it. Then attack Yuan Tan first.... ”

Jiao touched the look of admiration on his face: "Childe is a good plan!" ”

"Okay?"

"Good! Hahaha.... Jiao Touch nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Jaw and Yu Ban didn't know what was good.

"Since it's good, let's go and prepare." Yuan Xidao.

"No."

And they got up and departed from their tents.

Early morning.

When the sun rises, the snow stops.

Thousands of miles of Jizhou, wrapped in silver.

Zhang Jaw wrote a letter of war on behalf of Yuan Xi and sent someone to send it to Yuan Shang.

Syllable!

After Yuan Shang finished reading the battle book, he slapped it on the table.

He walked back and forth a few steps, his face changed, and he picked up the war book again: "Someone..." ”

"What do you command?" A soldier guarding the tent entered.

"Send this battle letter to Yuan Tan and tell him that I will fully cooperate with him and face Yuan Xi! I have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in my hands, and I am willing to be the vanguard under his command, regardless of life and death. When Yuan Shang said this, his expression was a little strange.

"No."

The soldier sent the war letter to Yuan Tan.

The gist of the war book:

During the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Tan retreated in Qingzhou, without making an inch, and had the trust of his father. Yuan Shang was defeated again and again, captured in embarrassment, and his majesty was swept away. My father knows that you have no talent, so I will pass on the throne of the son to me, and in order to inherit my father's will, I will lead the king to rebel....

After reading it, Yuan Tan was very annoyed.

He sent someone to reply to Yuan Xi and promised a decisive battle!

Knock knock...

On a wilderness in the south of Wei County, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's 100,000 soldiers and horses lined up and beat the drums of war. On the opposite side was Yuan Xi's military array, and the number of soldiers was less than half that of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Fortunately, there are mammoths and King Kong giant apes.

Their huge bodies, standing in front of the formation, not only put pressure on the enemy, but also gave confidence to their own soldiers.

"General Yu."

"Yes." Yu Ban took a step forward.

Yuan Xi said: "You go out to challenge and try to delay time." I will now send back to the camp and seize their equipment first. Wait until I get the equipment to the front line tomorrow and then fight them. Remember not to be reckless, they have more than 5,000 chariots and more than 20,000 light horsemen, and their strength is far superior to ours. Only heavy chariots and heavy crossbows can suppress them. ”

"No."

Yu Ban had already made Yuan Xi's plan clear.

Although the risk is high, it is not impossible to win. Just like now, Yuan Xi set up the place of the decisive battle two hundred miles away, and it was inconvenient to transport the equipment, so Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang abandoned the equipment and led the infantry and chariots to meet the battle. In this way, it gave Yuan Xi a good opportunity to attack the camp. When their equipment is captured and transported to the battlefield, it is a very strong help.

"Phew!"

Yu Ban drove his horse out of the military formation, came to the middle of the battlefield, and shouted: "Yu Ban is here, who dares to fight?" ”
