Seeing Yang Yi like this, the old farmer smiled and said: "Little boy, the old man saw that you were delicate, I thought that I was rich and noble, don't blame the old farmer for talking too much, in our Shuzhong, there is nothing great about being rich, only when you enlist in the army, guarding the family and defending the land is the real hero!" Look at my two sons, the eldest earns a lot of money in the trading house, and the second earns less money as a soldier, but the people in the village envy our second son, not for anything else, just because he is a soldier. ”

Yang Yi glanced at the old farmer, but said: "Uncle, being a soldier is certainly a glorious thing, but being a soldier is more dangerous than anyone else, especially in this troubled era, soldiers are like mustard, swords are silent, and there is a danger of dying anytime and anywhere." ”

The old farmer sighed when he heard this, and said helplessly: "How can the old man not know such a truth? To tell you the truth, every time my second child leaves to go to the barracks, I worry that he will never come back, and I don't worry that it will be all fake.

But... No one has gone to the army, where do we have a good life today? Someone has to do it, right? I just look forward to the day when the fight is over, the balance of the world is over, and that is the real good day. ”

Yang Yi smiled and nodded, "Yes... No matter how difficult things are, someone has to do them, but you understand people, my husband. ”

The old farmer smiled: "I am a person who understands, I am so old, maybe one day I will enter the loess, but when I look at my grandson who is waiting to be fed every day, I will always unconsciously think that when he grows up, he will not live such a frightened life again." ”

Yang Yi looked at the old farmer's sincere and simple face, and couldn't help but say firmly: "Yes, it will..."

"Woo~~~"

At this time, a long and thick sound of horns sounded on the official road in the distance, and then there was a faint rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and the dust covered the sky, covering the sun.

Soon, a group of majestic black-armored cavalry rushed towards Yang Yi and the others.

Monkey Jian'er stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, it's time to go." ”

Yang Yi nodded, stood up and said, "Uncle, let's go first." After thinking about it, he handed the wine bag in his hand to the old farmer, and said with a smile: "You always take this back and drink it slowly, and if you are drunk, you are not afraid that your family will not find it." ”

"It's... The old farmer also seemed to see that Yang Yi's identity was extraordinary, and he didn't know whether to take it for a while.

Seeing this, Yang Yi took two steps forward, put the wine bag in the old farmer's hand, and bowed his hand to a junior salute: "Uncle, don't worry, your son will come back safely, and your grandson can live a peaceful life." ”

"Oh? … Oh good...", the old farmer hurriedly replied.

Yang Yi smiled and nodded, resolutely turned around and took the mount brought by Monkey Jian'er, and turned over on the horse.

Looking back, the soldiers of the Shu army who spread for miles behind him stood on the road with their heads held high, and countless military flags with the word "Shu" fluttered fiercely in the autumn wind.

Yang Yi took a deep breath, turned the horse's head, and snorted coldly: "Let's go!" ”

Daguang 233 years, autumn.

Yuwen Mang, who invaded Qiongzhou in Shuzhong, divided 30,000 troops, bypassing Qiongzhou City and heading south in the direction of Chengzhou, and Yang Yiqin led more than 10,000 people to meet it.

Three days later, Yang Yi entered the territory of Qiongzhou and arrived at Wenshui County in the central and western part of Qiongzhou, and at this time, Yu Wenmang's 30,000 troops were stationed in Zhushan, sixty miles away, and the two sides looked at each other across a dry stream.

The Shu army camp, in the tent of Yang Yizhong's military camp—

Yang Yigao sat in a handsome position, and the generals below were lined up on the left and right, each wearing armor and a long knife tied to his waist.

At this time, a tooth general came out and said: "Your Highness, the strength of our army is only 30% of the enemy, and the last general thinks that we should stick to Wenshui County, delay with the help of the advantages of city defense, and wait for the battle in the direction of Qiongzhou City to be decided, and then we can win by attacking from both sides." ”

Before Yang Yi could speak, another general had already said: "This plan is not appropriate, not to mention that Wenshui County is a small county town, the city is low and the walls are narrow, and some places have collapsed because of disrepair, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold on." Moreover, the reason why Yu Wenmang divided his troops was to Chengzhou, since he could bypass Qiongzhou City, he could also bypass us, and then we would have to go out of the city to meet the attack.

The last general thought that when we took the initiative to attack, taking advantage of our familiar geography, we would constantly attack and harass the enemy's troops, delay time on the one hand, and cut off the enemy's food routes on the other, and within half a month, the enemy army would be in chaos without a fight. ”

Yang Yi nodded silently, thought for a moment and said: "It is a common plan for soldiers to cut off their grain routes, but now that the autumn rice in Qiongzhou is gradually ripe, there will be a bumper harvest in about ten days, and the grain everywhere is probably enough for Yuwen to fight until next year." ”

When all the soldiers heard this, their brows were furrowed, and no one thought that a bumper grain harvest would have been a great good thing, but at this time it had become the biggest trouble.

A general gritted his teeth and said: "It's really not good, let's grab the grain in advance, and see where he Yu Wenmang can find food!" ”

No one agreed with the general's proposal, because anyone knew that the early harvest of grain would have a large impact on the grain harvest, and it was possible that only two or three percent of the grain could be recovered.

Moreover, no one knew that Yu Wenmang's army would go from that road, wouldn't it mean that all the grain in the entire Qiongzhou would be harvested in advance? Doing so will have a huge impact on this year's harvest in Qiongzhou and even in Shuzhong.

However, no one seconded it, and no one objected, for it seemed as if this was the only way to hinder the enemy.

Everyone stared at Yang Yi with wide eyes, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Yang Yi stood up from his position, paced back and forth in the camp tent with his hands behind his back for a few steps, and suddenly turned around and said: "10,000 against 30,000, if you attack head-on, what do you think is the chance of victory?" ”

The generals glanced at each other a few times, and the tooth general who spoke earlier came out and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates have retreated from the direction of Weiguan." Judging from the previous battle between the last general and the Wenzhou army, if it is attacked head-on, I am afraid that our army will have little chance of winning. ”

"Oh? Tell us what you think. Yang Yi didn't mean to blame and asked.

General Ya sorted out his thoughts and replied: "The last general has been in Qiongzhou for six years, and he also knows a lot about the neighboring Wenzhou army. Although the Wenzhou Army is not the elite of the world, it is definitely a strong army in the southwest of Daguang.

Since we ambushed at Weiguan a few years ago and broke the Wenzhou army, Na Yu Wenmang has worked hard in Wenzhou, and his military strength has risen more than one step in the past few years. And judging from our intelligence, the Wenzhou army went south to Shuzhong this time with the support of the princes of Guanzhong, and many soldiers used armor and blades that were only available in Guanzhong, His Royal Highness should know that before the rise of our Shuzhong, Guanzhong iron was the best in the whole Daguang, and Yuwen Mang relied on these war preparation materials to improve the combat power of the Wenzhou army to the point of infinitely close to our Shu army. ”

The tooth general said with palpitations: "Because of this, we did not take any advantage in several small-scale battles with the Wenzhou army before, but Yu Wenmang made us suffer a lot by virtue of the advantage of troops. ”

Yang Yi nodded and said: "What you said is very reasonable, objectively speaking, the Wenzhou army is not a rabble, this time Yuwen Mang waved his troops south, it can be said that he has made preparations to recuperate, but it is extremely difficult to defeat it in such a situation of disparity in strength." ”

The soldiers looked at Yang Yi suspiciously, but they didn't know what his intentions were, they knew why they wanted to mention it again, and they didn't seem disappointed when they saw Yang Yi's indifferent expression.

At this time, Yang Yi slowly walked back to the handsome position, and said quietly: "So... If I have 100,000 reinforcements, will I be able to win them? ”
