"General!" Before Wei Yan approached, Li Ji arched his fist at him and asked: "This place is only ten miles away from Xiaopei, the general ordered a large army to be stationed here, if there is nothing unusual around, what is the general's plan?" ”

"It's not a wise move to storm Xiaopei!" Turning his head to look at Li Ji, Wei Yan said in a low voice: "Once the army besieges the city, although our soldiers are all brave, and the number of people is more than the Cao army defending the city, but the city can be stormed, first, the casualties must be huge, if our army wants to rescue the siege of Xuzhou in the future, I am afraid that the follow-up troops will be insufficient!" ”

Wei Yan's words made Li Ji feel a little surprised in his heart.

If King Qin gave him a large army, what he wanted, he was afraid that he would be in a hurry to achieve the first victory, as for what he planned in the future, he would definitely not think about it so much.

Wei Yan, who was three years younger than him, was able to be so calm when leading the army to go on the expedition, which really made Li Ji feel that King Qin really had a unique eye for knowing people.

"What are the general's plans?" Although he felt a little emotional in his heart, Li Ji did not greet Wei Yan, but asked him again.

"Soldiers are bloodless, they are the best!" Looking up at the sky again, Wei Yan sighed lightly and said, "But if the soldiers don't capture Xiao Pei bloodily, how can it be such a simple thing......"

Knowing that Wei Yan must have a plan in his heart at this time, Li Ji didn't ask anything more, just stood behind him and looked into the distance at dusk.

Just when they were both speechless, another fast horse galloped towards the barracks.

Seeing the fast horse, Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and he said to Li Ji: "This scout has definitely made a discovery!" ”

Li Ji, who had also seen the scout, still didn't believe it in his heart after hearing Wei Yan's words.

The scouts who rushed over didn't look any different from the others, and Wei Yan said that this scout had definitely made a discovery, perhaps it was too arbitrary.

Before Li Ji could express the doubts in his heart, the scout had already ridden his horse to them.

This scout did not jump off his horse more than ten steps away from Wei Yan like those scouts earlier, he rode his horse until he was in front of Wei Yan before he lifted the reins violently.

The galloping war horse was reined in, and its two front hooves were raised high, as if it was about to step towards Wei Yan and Li Ji.

Facing the hooves of the war horse, Wei Yan put his hands behind his back, and he didn't even move.

The horse stopped, and when the two front hooves landed, the horse's head was only three or four fists away from him.

"Poof!" The scout was too reckless, Li Jiyi drew his long sword, glared at the scout angrily and shouted: "You dare to be unreasonable in front of the general, could it be that the head on the neck is too strong?" ”

was shouted by Li Ji, the scout knew that Fang Cai was reckless, and he was shocked in his heart, hurriedly turned over and jumped off the horse, knelt in front of Wei Yan with his fists folded, and said with a very flustered expression: "The villain collided with the general, please don't blame the general!" ”

Waving his hand at Li Ji, who was standing behind him, Wei Yan calmly said to the scout kneeling in front of him: "If you find out, you will be not guilty, get up and speak!" ”

"No!" After Wei Yan's words, the scout's heart was a little calmer, he hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and bowed to Wei Yan and said, "General Qiyu, outside Xiaopei City, I found a Cao army!" ”

"Huh?" As soon as the scout said that Cao Jun had been found outside Xiaopei City, Wei Yan's eyes suddenly opened, first he turned back and glanced at Li Ji behind him, and then asked the scout with some excitement: "Where is Cao Jun hibernating?" How many centaurs are there? ”

"About more than 10,000 people!" Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the scout said to Wei Yan: "They are dormant among the mountain nests, and they don't need open flames for food, if they are not careful, they will definitely not be found!" ”

"Far from being innocent, you are meritorious!" Gently patted the scout's arm twice, Wei Yan nodded approvingly and said, "When our army captures Xiaopei, this general will definitely reward you!" ”

The reason why he had to wait until he won Xiao Pei to reward the scouts was that Wei Yan considered that his current position was not stable, and when he took Xiao Pei, the officers and men in the army would already be convinced of him, and at that time, it would be more convincing to reward the meritorious!

I bumped into Wei Yan just now, and I was still panicking in my heart, where did the scout dare to ask for any reward.

Hearing Wei Yan say this, he understood that Wei Yan would not care about him for the crime of collision, so he hurriedly maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and said to Wei Yan: "Thank you, General!" ”

Nodding at the scout, Wei Yan instructed in a very kind tone: "It's hard work, let's go and rest!" ”

The scout responded, clenched his fists and took two steps back, before turning and picking up his horse and turning his head towards the barracks.

Fang Cai Li Ji wanted to ask Wei Yan how he could see that this scout had brought back useful information, but as soon as he heard that there was a Cao army lurking in the mountain nest outside Xiaopei City, he suddenly felt nervous in his heart, and subconsciously said to Wei Yan: "The general didn't see what was coming, and stationed here to avoid the army from falling into the ambush set by the Cao army!" ”

"If something goes wrong, you will be a demon!" Looking up at the sky, the corners of Wei Yan's mouth finally showed a smile, and he said to Li Ji: "The Cao army must have intended our army to be stationed outside Xiaopei City, and then take advantage of the middle of the night to raid our army, and the Cao army in the city will also take advantage of the situation to kill, and our army can be defeated in one battle!" ”

"The general's discernment!" Earlier, he was reluctant to meet Wei Yan, but after learning that there was a Cao army lurking outside Xiaopei City, Li Ji was already impressed by this general who was two or three years younger than him, and hurriedly said: "If it weren't for the general's order to be stationed, I'm afraid that tonight I will become a ghost under Cao's saber!" ”

The sun is already close to the horizon, and the clouds in the sky are gilded with orange brilliance by the setting sun.

Looking at the clouds in the sky, Wei Yan had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Li Ji: "Pass the order, the army will be drawn immediately, and it will be stationed outside Xiaopei City tonight!" ”

Knowing that the Cao army had set up an ambush in front, Wei Yan still had to lead the army to drill into the trap, which really made Li Ji feel puzzled.

Looking at Wei Yan with a stunned face, Li Ji blinked his eyes twice, and asked with some hesitation: "General, Cao Jun set up an ambush outside Xiaopei City, knowing that the enemy army had laid a trap, and drilled into it, what kind of calculation did the general do?" ”

"If our army is stationed here, and the Cao army ambushes the troops at night, it is definitely a precaution!" Turning his head to look at Li Ji, Wei Yanji held it up slightly and said to him: "Since the Cao army wants to have a night attack on our army, why not let our army be one step ahead of them tonight?" ”

"What do you mean by ......?" When Wei Yan said this, Li Ji was stunned, and he was already stunned before he finished asking a word.

"When our army arrived at the city, we sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Cao army at night and ambush the soldiers!" Staring at Li Ji without blinking, Wei Yan said to him in a very solemn tone: "These 10,000 soldiers and horses are led by General Lao Li!" After defeating the Cao army, the general can send a messenger to inform the general, and then pretend to be the Cao army, charge our army, and before dawn tomorrow, the general will be stationed in Xiaopei! ”

If it is an ordinary siege, the army surrounds the city, and it is difficult to achieve anything without half a month and a month.

Liu Wei has never been in favor of storming the city, and in the past, when he led his troops, he would use various tactics to trick the defenders in the city into putting the army into the city.

The Qin army is no stranger to this tactic.

But when Liu Wei attacked the city, he often had to surround the city for a few days, and then deceive the city when the enemy army defending the city was tired.

As soon as Wei Yan led the army to Xiaopei, he wanted to trick the defenders in the city into opening the city gate, which really made Li Ji feel a little unbelievable.

Seeing doubts on Li Ji's face, Wei Yan pulled up an indifferent smile at the corner of his mouth and said: "General Li has no scruples, just go and give the order, tomorrow dawn, you and I will drink in Xiaopei City, how about it?" ”

Wei Yan's words were full of confidence, although Li Ji still had doubts in his heart, he didn't want to ask much, so he had to clench his fists with both hands, arch towards Wei Yan, answer, and convey the order to advance towards Xiaopeicheng to the army.

Building a camp is not an easy task.

The soldiers of the Qin army had set up the camp, and before they even had time to stay for one night, they received the order to set off again.

What's more, by the time I got the order to go, it was getting late, and I saw that night was about to fall.

Setting off at this time really made the soldiers even more puzzled.

I don't understand it, but the soldiers of the Qin army have no resistance to this order.

The camp, which had only been set up for a short time, was quickly dismantled by the soldiers.

By the time the camp had been completely dismantled, it was completely dark.

Standing next to the war horse, looking up at the already dark sky, Wei Yan's face was full of smiles, and he shouted loudly to the army: "Everyone lights torches, and talks loudly when marching, and if there is any movement, give General Ben as much movement as possible!" ”

Wei Yan's successive orders completely subverted the cognition of the soldiers of the Qin army.

When marching at night, it is easy to be ambushed by the enemy, and the speed of the march cannot be compared with that of daytime. Generally speaking, armies do not choose to march at night unless there is a particularly critical military situation.

If it was just a night march, the soldiers would not have thought much about it.

However, Wei Yan gave another order at this time, allowing the soldiers to talk loudly while marching.

On weekdays, when the Qin army was marching, the soldiers were silent to each other, in order to keep quiet.

Now marching in the quiet night, they still have to talk loudly, making it clear that they want to tell the Cao army about their whereabouts, and it makes the soldiers of the Qin army and the few partial generals who accompanied Wei Yan on the expedition wonder.

Like everyone else, Li Ji was also puzzled in his heart.

He originally thought that Wei Yan was marching at night to avoid Cao Jun's eyes and ears, but the order Wei Yan had just issued obviously denied his guess.

What is the meaning of Wei Yan's doing?

Turning over and jumping on horseback, Li Ji's gaze always stayed on Wei Yan's body, as if he wanted to look at him and find the answer.
