In the Yingzhou Mansion and the county government of Anyuan County, seven or eight generals wearing armor and cloaks of various colors gathered together, saying something with a stern face.

Anyuan County is located in the southernmost part of Yingzhou Mansion, adjacent to Pingzhou Mansion. Since the Yingzhou Mansion was occupied by the Yingzhou Prefecture, the Pingzhou Mansion also gathered a large army at the northernmost point to guard against the southward movement of the Yingzhou Army. Naturally, the Yan army did not dare to be careless, and stationed 6,000 soldiers in Anyang County, in addition to 2,000 servant troops, a total of 8,000 troops.

The 8,000 soldiers did not gather in the county seat of Anyang, but divided into three and stationed in three places with the momentum of the horns. In addition, there are personnel stationed in various townships.

Yunfeng Town and Changping Town are located at the east and west ends of the south side of Anyuan County, fifteen miles away from each other, and 2,000 people of the Yan Army were stationed in each of the two places. In the surrounding towns and villages, there are dozens to 100 soldiers stationed in them, always paying attention to the actions of the Yan army in the south.

"Yang Shuai, the soldiers of Shili Town, Yun Town, Lin Village, and Shangyan Town were all killed by the Yan army!" A general reported in a deep voice.

"Yang Shuai, there are also seven or eight township soldiers on the east side who were killed, and according to the soldiers who escaped their lives, it was the Yan army who did it. With a small force, they broke into various towns and villages and attacked and killed them. The other general said with a bad face.

Sitting on the main seat, with a gloomy face, the middle-aged man of thirty-five or sixteen is Yang Li, the commander of the South Road of Yingzhou Mansion, who is now in charge of the southern section of Yingzhou Mansion and is the person in charge of the southern end of the entire Yingzhou Mansion.

Yang Li was also pondering at the moment, it stands to reason that the tribe had an agreement with some people in the Yan Kingdom that the Yan army would not go south, and the Yan army in the south would not go north. Although things did not go very smoothly on the Yan side, it was expected that the other party would not backtrack. After all, no one can bear colluding with foreign enemies.

"Are you sure it's Yan Jun? Is it southern? Yang Li asked in a deep voice as he tapped on the table.

The two generals said in unison: "It is true that the Yan army in the south, in addition to the soldiers who saw the banner of the Yan army with their own eyes, even the people of various towns and towns also saw it, and there will be no fake." ”

"The Yan army of Pingzhou Mansion will not go north to attack our army for no reason, if it is really attacked, it will not raid some towns and villages at that time, besides, if it is attacked, it will not wait until now. The subordinates thought that there must be something wrong with this, and we didn't know. Before Yang Li could speak, another general spoke.

"Li Wanlie, what do you mean? You say we're talking nonsense? Don't think that just because you change your Han Chinese name, you think how smart you are. The soldiers of the Yan army of Pingzhou Mansion attacked us, and many people saw it with their own eyes, could it be that General Ertai and I could not lie? The general on the left had a gloomy face and said angrily.

Li Wanlie's anger surged, and after a while, he said, "Jun and General Wen, please pay attention to your attitude. I'm just saying what I think, and I'm not pointing any fingers at you. After speaking, he turned his head to Yang Li and said: "Yang Shuai, this Yan army will not only attack these small towns for no reason, perhaps, they are just the government army that escaped the catastrophe of the previous Yingzhou Mansion, deliberately pretending to be the Pingzhou Mansion Yan Army, attacking our soldiers, so as to provoke us to fight against the Pingzhou Mansion Yan Army." ”

"Yang Shuai, whether the other party is the army of Pingzhou Mansion or not, it is imperative to send a horse cavalry to investigate clearly. Although more than a dozen townships were attacked, it did not affect us much, but they did concern our surveillance of the south and the surrounding area. Now the loss of these dozen township soldiers is equivalent to the loss of eyes. If you lose your understanding and control over the situation in the surrounding area, you can't help but take precautions. ”

"General Xue Lang is reasonable, or to explore the surrounding situation and then make a decision. Whether it is the Pingzhou Mansion Yan Army or the Yingzhou Prefecture Army that escaped before, if they dare to attack us, they will not make them look good. Several generals agreed.

Yang Li tapped lightly on the table and said in a deep voice: "General Ertai and General Jun and Wen, you immediately rush back to the two places and strictly guard the two towns to ensure that there are no accidents." ”

"General You, let the rangers under your command scout the horses and immediately scatter out to explore the surrounding situation. If you notice an anomaly, don't engage the enemy, just report it immediately. ”

"Subordinates take orders!" A big man said in a deep voice.

"Strictly order all ministries to strictly guard the city, and strengthen inspections at all city gates. Alright, let's get busy! Yang Li waved his hand and said. After the seven or eight generals gave their salutes, they exited the hall.

"Is war finally coming?" Yang Li said secretly, looking at the top of the hall, not knowing what he was thinking.

Fifteen miles northwest of Anyuan County, in the mountain col, the Nufeng Battalion and the Red Wolf Battalion were hidden here, and the foot soldiers were stationed in the valley outside Lixu on the other side. For this reason, the soldiers suffered a lot. You can't make a fire during the day, and you can only nibble on cold and hard cakes in the cold winter. Fortunately, at night, you can quietly make some hot food.

"Now the soldiers placed in the towns and villages in Anyuan County have been cleaned up by us, and they are still done under the guise of the government army of Pingzhou Mansion. Now that the generals of the Yan Army are also blind, will they march towards Pingzhou Mansion? If the Yan army and the Yan army in the county fight, we will be able to act! Xiang Yan, the sentry commander of the Fufeng Battalion, shook his head while nibbling on the cake.

Wen Ding on the side smiled and said: "You just dream, the general of the Yan Army is not a stupid person, how can he go south to fight in Pingzhou Mansion just because several towns and villages were attacked under the banner of the Yan Army of Pingzhou Mansion?" ”

"Yes, since the Yanzhou Mansion was occupied by us, the Yingzhou Mansion and the Shunzhou Mansion are afraid that they will not fight with the Yan Army lightly, because their back road has been cut off, and now they are anxious about how to contact the northern tribes, so as not to be attacked by the north and south, they will not move lightly." Zhang Yin also said with a smile.

Gawain took a bite of the cold cake, looked at the food in his hand and the stone, and sighed: "It's been three days coming, and I'm still thinking about going into the city to eat some hot things earlier, it seems that it's no fun!" ”

When it comes to eating, several people can't help but look at the cold cake in their hands, speaking of which, this is also the most distressing place for everyone.

"I've seen the captain!" The five sentry commanders said in unison, and Zhao Mang, the captain of the Nufeng Battalion, and the two captains of the Red Wolf Battalion walked over in unison.

"What? Can't stand it? Lao Yuan watched several people staring at the cake in their hands, and Zhao Mang couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"My lord, when I eat this cake, I feel like I'm gnawing on a stone, and I'm afraid that if I go on like this, my teeth will be bare out." Wen Ding shook the cake in his hand and said bitterly.

"Otherwise, you are also the same as the Red Wolf Battalion, eat ......" Before Zhao Mang finished speaking, several people's faces turned pale, and they hurriedly said: "It's still not necessary, I still think this cake is delicious!" ”

"Yes! I also think that the cake tastes good, and although it is harder, it is still very flavorful. Even the calm Yang Hu turned pale and said urgently.

Seeing the expressions of the five people, Zhao Mang couldn't help but laugh secretly. Ever since they were stationed in this place three days ago under the guidance of the Shadow Guard, the daytime soldiers had not lit a fire or eaten anything too hot. However, the soldiers of the Red Wolf Battalion were able to eat raw animal flesh and blood, which surprised the soldiers of the Fufeng Battalion and the Infantry Battalion, but they also churned in their abdomen. Eating it raw, that's not something ordinary people can do. Only the always bold Wen Ding of the five sentry commanders of the Fufeng Battalion tried it, but he vomited on the spot and never mentioned him again.

"It's a pity, it's much more nutritious than flatbread, I really won't enjoy it!" Yan Xu on the side also interjected.

Seeing that Yan Xu was going to continue to talk about eating raw animal flesh and blood, Wen Ding, who was starting to feel uncomfortable in his abdomen, hurriedly said, "Two adults, is there any new action?" Could it be that the Yan army in Anyuan County has begun to act? ”

As soon as he talked about business, Yan Xu didn't talk about eating anymore, which made several people feel certain, especially Wen Ding, what happened last time, made his stomach start churning as soon as he heard others talk about it.

Zhao Mang and a few people sat on the ground, basking in the slightly hot sun. Zhao Mang opened his mouth and said: "The Yan army is more rigorous than we believe, and we followed the banner action of the Yan army of Pingzhou Mansion, and did not let the Yan army have a trace of movement, but only sent a large group of horse exploration cavalry. ”

Wen Ding said in a deep voice: "Isn't that a busy job in vain?" ”

Yang Hu shook his head and said: "We are so busy that we can't do it, at least we killed seven or eight hundred soldiers, although most of them are Han people who belong to the Yan army, but it also makes the Yan army lose their understanding of the surrounding situation." At the same time, it is also a warning to those Han people who are attached to the Yan army. In this way, it is also very conducive to our actions. ”

Yang Hu is right, although he failed to achieve the intended goal, there is nothing to regret. After all, it is the Tatar army that has now received losses. Zhao Mang nodded and said. For Yang Hu, he found that he gradually grew up.

Yan Xu said: "Captain Zhao, why don't we directly attack Anyuan County?" With the assistance of the servant army, it should be possible to take Anyuan County. ”

Zhao Mang shook his head and said: "The servant army in Anyuan County is different from the servant army in the rest of the counties, and the servant army in the rest of the counties basically has no status and is not taken seriously, only Weibo's salary. Therefore, we can easily win them over. But the servant army in Anyuan County is different, they are second only to the Jin Army in Anyuan County, although they are not treated equally by the Yan Army, but the treatment is still good. At the same time, among the various ministries, there are many secret agents of the Evil Army. We won them over, but the results were not ideal. ”

"These bastards, don't you know who the Evil Army is? Going south to invade our land and kill our people, it is still ......," Wen Ding said angrily, and Yan Xu on the side also looked embarrassed.

Zhao Mang said: "It's not that they are unwilling to do it anyway, but they can't act effectively." In any team of more than 100 people, there are spies of the Shen Army, and these team leaders, 500 people, and 1,000 people cannot distinguish which of their subordinates are from the Yan Army, maybe there are some of the guards around them. If you can't let your subordinates form a certain scale, even if they do something, it won't have any effect, and maybe it will even affect their families. Therefore, they are not willing to act lightly. However, quite a few of them agree to do so anyway when possible. ”

"In fact, they will only act when we have a big advantage. Now it seems that the siege of Anyuan County can only rely on ourselves. Xiang Yan said.

Zhang Yin frowned and said: "And we have to speed up, otherwise once the situation of the northern counties occupied by us spreads to Anyuan County, maybe they will shrink, and at that time, it will be very difficult." ”

"Yes, the county seat of Anyuan has been built by the people forced by the Yan army, but the city is high and thick. No siege equipment, no catapults, it's difficult! ”

Yang Hu said: "My lord, then why don't we attack Yunfeng Town and Changping Town at the east and west ends of the south side of Anyuan County first, although there are also additional city walls, but according to investigation, it is only three meters high, there should be no problem." ”

Zhao Mang nodded and said: "Attacking these two places is necessary at that time, but it can't be directly attacked." ”

"My lord wants to lure out the soldiers of Anyuan County?"

"The two towns are attacked, and Anyuan County will definitely not sit idly by and will send reinforcements. We need to catch him. Zhao Mang said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to attract many reinforcements, Anyuan County must know, presumably the two towns, Anyuan County is more important." Yang Hu frowned and said.

Zhao Mang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how much it leads, it doesn't even matter if it comes out is a servant army or a Yan army, but as long as it comes out, we can't let it go, it's about the subsequent actions." ”

"What happened next?"

"Well, that's not to mention for now, it depends. Let the soldiers all change to the banner of Pingzhou Mansion! The five of you, get ready to act, and start attacking the rangers everywhere first, breaking their eyes first. As for the Red Wolf Battalion, you can't show up for the time being, and you can't let the Evil Army discover your traces. Zhao Mang said in a deep voice.

"Yes! My lord! The five sentry commanders of the Fufeng battalion obeyed the order, quietly moved out of their hiding places with the cavalry, and rushed to the towns and villages again......
