At night on the grassland, the sky is clear, a silence, next to a water source, Boyan is wearing a big coat, standing in front of the Chinese military tent, the bright moon in the sky brings a touch of coldness, making the autumn grassland even more desolate.

"Why is the general here?" The deputy general Shulu came over and said with a smile. Next to him was a Han adjutant general, relatively young, it was the general Yang Zaixing, who was named Marquis of Xingping. In fact, the official position is above the law of magic. This was the standard for the Mongol cavalry.

"Don't you two feel that these two days are a little weird?" Boyan touched his beard and said.

"Weird?" Yang Zaixing hesitated for a while, and said: "The last general didn't feel it, we came here mainly to intercept Yan Zongbi's grain and grass, the army wandered, and I didn't feel anything weird, if it was really weird, maybe it was Wanyan Zongbi who might not be able to support it, once it was pursued by General Xiao Weige, this credit would not be ours." ”

Shulu also nodded, and said with a smile: "It is also for the empire, as long as the Jin people are destroyed, it doesn't matter who the credit is." When the general said this, could it be that he noticed something? It's better to say it, take a closer look, and invite Mr. Li here. ”

After half a ring, I saw a middle-aged man come over, arched his hand towards the three of them, and said, "Li Guang of the Military Justice Department of the Xiaguan has seen three generals. "Li Guangqian's minister, known for his courage to accept advice, was appointed to be the commander of military law under Boyan, and he was ruthless. Running around on the grassland all the year round and experiencing the battlefield made Li Guang a little less elegant and a little more solemn.

"Mr. Li is a scholar, let's analyze it together." Boyan entered the big tent, and a fire was lit in the big tent, which made the big tent a little warmer, and everyone sat down around the stove. Boyan said: "Recently, there have been very few sentry spouts, and the number of enemy sentries killed is certainly considerable, but it is obviously unusual for the enemy to have so many sentry sentry. Our Datang sentinel scouts are a team of ten, and they rotate once every half an hour, and every time they come back these days, ten people are not full, once like this, but several times like this, it is a little abnormal. ”

Yang Zaixing's face was stunned, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, he could charge into battle, but he was still a little worse for this kind of command, and when he heard Boyan say this at this time, he suddenly felt that something was indeed wrong.

"Yes, when the general said this, there is indeed a problem, whether it is a grain transportation team, even if there are thousands or even 10,000 people, it is impossible to send so many sentinels, and it is so dense. It seems that we may have a large force ahead of us. Li Guang nodded.

"Who's coming? The Jin people still have reinforcements, and it is not bad that they can send twenty or thirty thousand elites in their country, even if they add the tribes that have returned to the past, fifty or sixty thousand people have already reached the sky. Shulu laughed and said nonchalantly.

"The Jin people have been in control of Liao for many years, and the north of Yanjing was the anointed land of the Liao people back then, and if they were forcibly conscripted, an army of 100,000 would not be nothing." Boyan looked at the fire in front of him faintly, and said: "Now that Your Majesty is marching south, the northern grassland is in the hands of me and General Xiao. His Majesty gave up the conquest of Jiangnan last year, and turned to support the northern border and pacify the northern border, which is for this purpose. ”

"What do you mean?" Li Guang said tentatively.

"This place is not far from the Great Wall, that is, the inevitable passage for the Jin people to transport grain and grass, and General Ben decided to stay here and not go east." Boyan thought for a while and said: "Winter is coming, as long as we defend for a while, and wait for Your Majesty to come to our senses next year and attack the Jin people together, we will definitely be able to destroy the Jin people." Not only do we not move, General Lu, General Xiao's soldiers and horses do not move, now we have the advantage, the Jin people occupy the disadvantage, we do not move, the Jin people lose more, Wanyan Zongbi Tun soldiers Tumuertai, far away from the Jin people's base camp, winter is coming, the grain and grass are inconvenient, if there is no accident, we will definitely withdraw the army, in this way, we can still maintain an absolute advantage. ”

"It is naturally safe for the general to do this, but the last general is worried that General Xiao Wei will not do this." Li Guang touched his beard and smiled bitterly. Brother Xiao Wei was irritable by nature, and he was defeated by Li Jing at the beginning, because of such a character, and more importantly, although there are two soldiers and horses on the grassland, they do not belong to each other and cooperate with each other, in fact, everyone knows that Brother Xiao Wei and Boyan are secretly fighting each other, and they both want to be the first cavalryman. This can be seen from the fact that Boyan would rather lead the army alone to attack the Jin people, rather than be in charge of hundreds of thousands of cavalry at the same time with Xiao Weige, of course, there is also Li Jing behind this, the huge cavalry is in the hands of one person, and no one is at ease.

"I write a letter to him, believing that for the sake of His Majesty's great cause, he will agree." Boyan said nonchalantly: "The top priority is to let people find out who is in front?" If it's Wanyan Zongbi's brigade, it's naturally a good thing, if it's someone else? I'm afraid it's not good. Everyone listened and nodded, if it was someone else, it meant that the golden man had already pulled out his hand, and defense became the best choice at this time.

Li Guang's mouth opened slightly, and he still didn't say it in the end, in fact, he thought that it would be better if he didn't write a letter, once he wrote a letter, Brother Xiao Wei might have other ideas, but this was after all a distrust of Brother Xiao Wei, Li Guang still decided not to say it.

The next day, Boyan began to set up a large camp by the lake, build defensive facilities, and prepare to station troops here for a long time, threatening the grain routes of the Jin people, waiting for the time to converge the army and defeat the Jin people in one fell swoop.

What everyone didn't expect was that Boyan's prudence still saved the army of 100,000. Just a hundred miles away from the east of Boyan's army, a large camp stood majestically, the golden wolf Daxu fluttered high, and a huge golden tent appeared in the Chinese army, and the Dajin Emperor Wanyan Sheng was impressively in the ranks. Dozens of generals, such as Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zonggu, Wanyan Ximur, Wanyan Hulugu, etc., led an army of 150,000 to quietly march eastward, and killed until they were under the nose of Boyan Zhongjun.

In the big tent, Wan Yansheng put down the information in his hand and said to the left and right: "Li Jing is really lucky, he can make a name like Boyan useful." The vigilance is so high, as soon as I find out that something is wrong, I immediately hide and not come out, and it seems that my ambush may not be used. ”

"Boyan can't do it, it doesn't mean that Brother Xiao Wei can't do it, Brother Xiao Wei is irritable, greedy for merit, as long as he sobs eastward, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity." Wanyan Zongpan said proudly: "As long as Brother Xiao Wei is defeated, even if Boyan has great ability, it is impossible to resist the advance speed of our army." The grassland will be for my great gold. ”

"Li Jing must have pacified Jiangnan, if we can't defeat Brother Xiao Wei or Boyan this winter, we will definitely face a flank attack from Li Jing's coalition forces in the future, and we will definitely be defeated." Wan Yan Sheng glanced at everyone, in fact, Wan Yan Sheng was not absolutely sure, his 150,000 troops were all patchwork, returning from Goryeo and directly entering the grassland, and the soldiers were also exhausted. He's also a gamble.
