Although carrier pigeons cannot carry too heavy things for long-distance flights, they generally only carry notes, but there are not many notes that can be written on a note.

At this moment, the note in Li Guangshan's hand is densely filled with words, although there is no detailed information, but the general situation has been written clearly.

Because it is now the second half of the night, so speaking of which, it should be before dawn yesterday, 5,000 elite cavalry raided the camp of the mountain guard, quickly broke through the camp, and trampled back and forth to slaughter, although the camp of the mountain was 20,000 soldiers, but before dawn, most of the generals were resting, and they were caught off guard by the cavalry charge, and they were not opponents at all.

By the time it was dawn, the camp had been scattered, and there were countless escapes, and all the food and grass had been burned.

The 5,000 elite cavalry paid less than 200 men, and then quickly withdrew, disappearing.

The camp of Yueshan suffered heavy losses, with nearly 3,000 casualties and tens of thousands of deserters, in fact, the casualties were secondary, after all, there were not many people who were killed directly, and then the remnants of the soldiers could be collected to treat the wounded, and Yueshanwei had at least eighty percent of the troops available.

The real problem is the grain and grass!

It was not the grain and grass for the soldiers and horses of the Yueshan Weiyi Army, but the grain and grass for the soldiers and horses of the five states! Since the outbreak of the rebellion in the five states, the soldiers and horses of the five states began to quell the rebellion on their own before they received the empress's holy decree, and the empress's holy decree arrived one day late.

Hu Yanjin, the commander of Yueshanwei, was appointed by the empress as the supreme commander of the war in the five states, and temporarily took over all the soldiers and horses in the five states.

There are 20,000 soldiers and horses in Luozhou, 10,000 soldiers and horses in Tanzhou, 10,000 soldiers and horses in Bazhou, 20,000 soldiers and horses in Maozhou, and 40,000 soldiers and horses in Yueshanwei! There are a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses in the five states, which refers to all state soldiers, not counting the guards of various counties and counties.

Among them, Yue Shanwei is the most special.

The other state soldiers are all named after the state, and according to the size of the state and the population density, the number of state soldiers is also different, and the area of the five states is on the small side in the entire Dongqian.

Yueshanwei is different, it is not named after Yuezhou, and the area of Yuezhou is very small, there are only four counties in total, but there are 40,000 heavy soldiers!

This is because the Yueshan Wei was not used for local defense, but for monitoring and balancing Prince Su!

The reason why it is called Yueshanwei instead of Yuezhou Wei is because these 40,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in Yueshan County, and will not assist in the defense of the four counties and counties, and Yueshan is also the name of a mountain range, which not only runs through the entire Yuezhou, but also goes deep into the fiefdom of King Yunsu.

Hu Yanjin, as the commander of the Yueshan Guard, is the only military general of the first rank in the land of the five states, and the commanders of the other four state guards are all from the first rank.

So he was appointed supreme commander of the war in the five states.

Before Yueshanwei was attacked in the camp, the war in the five states had already been fought in the dark, and 100,000 troops were gathered in the northwest of Yuezhou.

Now I only know that he left 20,000 people in the Yueshan Wei camp, and all the grain and grass were also placed in the Yueshan camp, which has been burned!

Actually, it's hard to understand!

So unexpected!

The geographical location of the Yueshanwei camp is very unique, built at the foot of the Yueshan Mountain, and the terrain in other directions is not a plain with a flat river, and the cavalry can charge for a short distance, but it is difficult to run for a long distance.

Although Yueshan County is next to the fief of King Yunsu, Yueshan County is elongated, bordering Prince Su's fief in the southeast, and Yueshan Daying is in the northwest.

As a result, if the king of Yunsu wanted to send surprise soldiers to raid, he would either have to pass through the extremely harsh environment of the Yueshan Mountain, and he would also have to pass through a place called the Yueshan Gorge, where a beacon tower was built. Either you have to bypass other counties and make a big circle to attack the camp in the mountains.

For the king of Yunsu, Yue Shanwei has maintained a strategy of defensive deterrence all year round, and the imperial court will not take the initiative to fight the king of Yunsu, what he is afraid of is that the king of Yunsu will suddenly rebel and send troops!

Therefore, such a unique location was chosen when selecting a site for the construction of Yueshanwei.

Unexpectedly, I was still beaten!

Still beaten by cavalry!

This is even harder to understand!

Five thousand cavalry is not a small number, it is not impossible to take a small road through the mountains, but it is necessary to pass through the mountain gorge, but the beacon tower there did not make any response in advance, and if the five thousand cavalry detoured, bypassed the mountain, went to other counties and then entered the mountain county, this difficulty is not generally high, how can it not be discovered in advance?

Very fascinated!

Although I don't know how these five thousand cavalry appeared near the Yueshan camp unconsciously, the empress, Zhou An, and Li Guangshan all firmly believe that this must be the cavalry of King Yunsu!

In the southwest, in addition to the imperial court, the only one who can take out five thousand elite cavalry is King Yunsu!

Cultivating cavalry is not an overnight thing, and the cost is huge, and others can't afford to raise it, so there is no possibility of secretly cultivating five thousand elite cavalry!

Although the land of Yunyue is mountainous, there are also plains, especially the border areas, which border the southwestern countries, which can be said to be flat and flat.

King Yunsu has cavalry, which can be said to be an open secret.

The land of Yunyue does not produce horses, but the kings of Yunsu have been operating in the land of Yunyue for more than 300 years, and have already opened up the trade routes with the southwestern countries.

Compared with the Beirong horse, the big moon horse is smaller, but the limbs are particularly thick, and the speed of the charge is faster than that of the North Rong horse, but the endurance of long-distance running is worse.

There are many mountain people in the land of Yunyue, and the mountain people are shorter than the people of Zhongzhou, but they are good at hunting and archery.

Although the mountain people are not good at riding horses, the kings of Yunsu have been trained for hundreds of years, and they have naturally cultivated good riders.

According to the previous information on the king of Yunsu, the king of Yunsu has about 50,000 troops, of which the number of cavalry has been maintained at about 10,000, which is almost the limit, because raising cavalry is particularly expensive, even if it is just raising light cavalry, its cost is more than three times that of the infantry corps, and the heavy cavalry is not easy to calculate, depending on what kind of equipment it is equipped with, but it is at least more than five times that of the ordinary infantry corps.

King Yunsu did not have heavy cavalry.

In other words, in the entire southwest, there is no heavy cavalry, and the terrain there does not have room for heavy cavalry to play.

"100,000 soldiers, horses, and grain and grass have been burned, and if they are not replenished in time, there is a fear of mutiny."

"Now that the volume of transportation from Zhongzhou has passed, it will take more than half a month at the earliest, and if it is too late, it can only be drawn from all over the southwest."

"Five thousand cavalry, how did you approach the camp of Yueshan?"

The atmosphere in the hall is very depressing, and all kinds of problems seem to be difficult to solve.

The two most important questions are, one is that the five thousand cavalry have withdrawn, but where did they go? King Yunsu can be called a lone army that has gone deeper, if this strange army is not eradicated, there will be endless troubles!

The second problem is, of course, the issue of the allocation of grain and grass, and it is difficult to say whether Dongqian is already short of grain, and it is difficult to say whether or not the grain and grass can be allocated in a timely manner.

Big trouble!

"Report !!" Suddenly shouts rang out outside the door, and the sound of running footsteps approached quickly.
