Yuzhou, the place where the north and south of the land of China meet, has always been a place where soldiers must fight, if it were not for the fact that Jingkou is the gateway to Jiankang, it needs to be guarded by Beifu soldiers, and now it is Xie Xuan who is facing off with the former Qin army in Yuzhou, not Xie Yan!

At this time, Xie Yan and his Yuzhou army had already started from Yuzhou City, rushed to Yiyang County, the northernmost part of Yuzhou, and confronted Yao Chang's Qiang army, Xie Xuan, Wei Jie, led 8,000 cavalry and 50,000 foot soldiers, starting from Jingkou, rushing to Yiyang by land, and Xie Yan made peace.

And Liu Gaozhi, Liu Yu, Liu Muzhi and Liu Rail were in command of 300 Beifu soldiers and warships, and more than 10,000 sailors.

"Master, Xuan Shuai ordered to camp on the spot, please go to the Shuai tent and discuss something!"

On Xie Xuan's side, Sun Wuzhong, Tan Daoji led the cavalry as the front army, Xie Xuanwei stepped to sit in the middle army, and Wei Jie's was on horseback at this time and the army was rushing in the starry night, He Wuji suddenly patted his horse and came to Wei Jie's side, and said respectfully.

"Camp on the spot?"

Wei Jie's brows furrowed slightly, they had been marching in a hurry for half a month, and seeing that Yiyang County was close in front of them, why did they camp at this time?

"I see, you go with me!"

He Wuji has been inseparable since he followed the Wei Rank, as long as the Wei Rank is in the army!

At this time, Xie Xuan was studying the map in the tent, and when Wei Jie came in, he was frowning and thinking hard!

"Xiao Jie, you're here, come and see!" Xie Xuan pointed to the map on the table and said in a deep voice.

"Shicai Xie Yan sent someone to report that the main force of Yao Chang's Qiang army is stationed in Xuchang, and their vanguard force of 20,000 cavalry is in Ruyin County!"

"Where we are now!"

"Huangchuan?" Wei Jie came to the table, followed Xie Xuan's finger pointing, and carefully looked at the map!

No wonder Xie Xuan wants to camp here, Huangchuan is only fifty miles away from Yiyang County, but Liruyin County is only a hundred miles away, these three places are in a corner, it seems that Xie Xuan wants to eliminate the hidden danger of the Qiang cavalry before entering Yiyang County.

"Xuan Shuai wants to eat this cavalry?" Wei Jie frowned and said.

"All the tribes in the north are nomadic, their cavalry are all brave and good at fighting, although most of the cavalry of my Beifu soldiers are also composed of northern warriors, but after all, the number is only eight thousand, facing the enemy head-on, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be the opponent, Xuan Shuai thinks twice!"

"Yiyang County's city defense is weak, Yao Chang has a garrison of 150,000 troops in Xuchang, and our Yuzhou army is counted, but there are more than 80,000 people, once Yiyang is lost, under a horse and Pingchuan, these 20,000 cavalry will become our talisman!" Xie Xuan said in a deep voice.

"We must deal with these 20,000 cavalry now, so that we can attack and retreat!"

Wei Jie's head couldn't help but have a headache, this is not Weishui, Yao Chang is not Fu Jian, there is no Zhu Xu by his side to fan the flames, and he will not take the liberty of the enemy, but what Xie Xuan said is the truth, Yiyang County is not a city that can be defended, and in the end, the two sides still have to fight a decisive battle in the plains, and the 20,000 cavalry of the Qiang tribe is undoubtedly the winner of this decisive battle!

"Does Xuan Shuai already have a strategy to break the enemy?"

"Ruyin County is adjacent to Huaishui, and it will rain in the south in March, I estimate that it will rain heavily in a few days, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, and the cavalry of the Qiang nationality will definitely retreat into the city, and we will garrison troops outside the city to confront it at that time, and send people to build dams and store water upstream!"

"Flooded Ruyin City?" Wei Jie's eyes lit up, most of the various tricks and tricks of the two armies when they faced each other, he could only listen to them!

"If you want to build a dam to store water, you can only do it before the rainy season comes!"

"That's right, that's why I ordered to camp on the spot, not to Yiyang County, and to reroute to Ruyin, but the timing of the soldiers coming to Ruyin City must be accurately grasped, not too early, not too late!" Xie Xuan said while sorting out his thoughts.

"What do you think, Xiaojie?"

Xie Xuan naturally already had his own plans in his heart, and now he asked Wei Jie, obviously in addition to cultivating him, he also wanted to consider Wei Jie's vision.

Wei Jiejie did not answer the call immediately, but walked to the curtain of the handsome tent, opened the curtain and looked at the sky, he has been immersed in three volumes of the book of heaven for more than a year, but he has never used the book of heaven to observe the celestial phenomena, now the war is about to break out, the fighter is changing rapidly, it is time to apply what he has learned!

"In another six or seven days, there will be a period of continuous rain in the area of Ruyin County, if we can control the marching time, it is most appropriate to reach the city of Ruyin County in three to four days!"

When Wei Jie's words were said, he was actually quite apprehensive in his heart, he had deduced the time of heaven a few times according to the Book of Heaven, but the accuracy rate was only about six or seven percent, but in this situation, it was worth taking a risk if he could have fifty percent certainty!

"Xiaojie, are you sure?"

Xie Xuan asked solemnly, after many years of marching and fighting, he knows a lot about the Tianli climate in various places, and he also has some experience in predicting the weather, but he can't predict the specific time like the Wei Rank, and the biggest difficulty in his plan is the specific time when the rainy season is coming.

Wei Jie, nodded slightly, and said, "There are six or seven percent sure!" ”

"That's enough, then let's rest for one night, set off tomorrow, and arrive in Ruyin County in three days, so there are about three days to build the dam!" Xie Xuan said happily.

"Even if our army arrives in Ruyin County, Yao Chang will send troops to help as soon as possible, and the march will be delayed due to the heavy rain, maybe we can still pick up the grass and beat the rabbits, and their reinforcements will also be served in one pot!"

This is not impossible, if the Qiang cavalry in Ruyin County is surrounded, Yao Chang will send a large army to support, and then the march will be delayed because of the heavy rain, as long as the Beifu soldiers rush to solve the Qiang cavalry before the reinforcements arrive and subdue Ruyin County, they will have the opportunity to turn around and give the Qiang reinforcements a surprise!

Three days later, when the Beifu soldiers approached the city of Ruyin County, Xie Xuan confronted the 8,000 cavalry of the Beifu soldiers against the cavalry of the Qiang nationality, and at the same time built defensive duties outside the city, mainly to deal with the cavalry such as trapping horse pits.

After the Beifu soldiers built the first fortifications, the Qiang cavalry directly gave up the confrontation with the Beifu soldiers outside the city, but returned to the city, while holding on to the city, while sending people to Xuchang for help.

Ruyin County was surrounded by Beifu soldiers, and after several single horsemen who let the Qiang cavalry ask for help out of the city, Xie Xuan ordered the whole city of Ruyin County to be blocked, and flies could not fly out of the city of Ruyin County, and at the same time, the 10,000 rear troops of the Beifu soldiers began to build a dam at the junction of Huaishui and Ruyin County's moat!
