After ten days of marching, the army had already left the fertile Guanzhong Plain, and what was seen was an empty and endless yellow.

The earth uplifts a mound of loess, the loess accumulates thicker and thicker, piles higher and higher, accumulates into a ridge, piles into beams, and piles into a large piece of plateau.

This is the plateau, the Loess Plateau, also known as the Loess High Slope.

As the army moved, it brought up the yellow dust in the sky, which was fluttering and sprinkling.

Two days ago, the army crossed Tianshui, and yesterday it crossed Ji County, which is very close to the front-line battlefield, and Ji County is their last logistics support base, because the main battlefield is 50 miles west of Ji County.

Longxi County also has the Great Wall, or it was built during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, but it was only repaired to Tongwei, two hundred miles north of Ji County, mainly to guard against the Qiang people, so this time Di Rong chose to attack from the south two hundred miles away.

After passing through a valley formed by two low but rather long dirt mountains, a camp tent that stretched for more than ten miles appeared in front of Yang Yifei.

The general of the Longxi border army is named Li Xin, who is the grandson of Li Chong, the commander of Longxi County, and the Li family of Longxi is the so-called "thousand-year-old family".

Li Xin joined the army as a young man, and was named a general for his military exploits before he reached the crown, and was one of the more prominent figures in the Great Qin Shaozhuang faction, and also one of the young generals whom the first emperor trusted very much.

More than ten years ago, he cooperated with Wang Jian to destroy the Zhao State, and when attacking the Yan State, he chased and killed the Yan Prince Dan until Yanshui, and then the Prince Dan was beheaded by Yan Wang Xi, and the head was brought back by Li Xin.

Li Xin can be regarded as a famous general of the Great Qin generation, who has experienced countless battles and battles in his life, and has rarely been defeated, and only planted a big heel when attacking Chu.

At that time, the first emperor asked Wang Jian how many troops he needed to destroy the Chu State, and Wang Jian said that he wanted 600,000, and Li Xin was young and vigorous, and slapped him in the face, saying that he only needed 200,000 soldiers and horses to destroy the Chu State.

The first emperor was overjoyed, saying that Wang Jian was old and useless, and as a result, Li Xin led 200,000 Qin troops to attack Chu and returned defeated, and this defeat was also the only stain on his glorious life.

Fortunately, after cooperating with Wang Ben to destroy the Qi State, he saved some face a little, and after the Great Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, Li Xin was sent to Longxi to guard the frontier.

Although this Li Xin is also a generation of famous generals, his fame in history is not great, and not many people know it, but among his descendants, there are many famous figures who have been passed down through the ages.

Li Guang, known as the "Flying General", is his direct descendant, as well as the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, all from the Li family in Longxi.

There is no thousand-year-old dynasty, only a thousand-year-old family, this sentence is indeed the truth, for the ministers, the Li family in Longxi has been prominent for generations, inherited for thousands of years, but once the dynasty is established, in just three hundred years, it will no longer be brilliant and be submerged in the long river of history.

……

When the Mengjia army arrived, Li Xin had already received the news, and after arranging the Mengjia army's garrison and camp tent, he personally led the guards to meet him outside the camp.

Although the Li family in Longxi has a prominent identity and a long heritage, in this era, it is still slightly inferior to the Montessori.

Yang Yifei stayed in front of the archers, only seeing Meng Yi greeting the other party from afar, but he couldn't see the square appearance clearly.

A moment later, a personal soldier rode over and said to Yang Yifei: "General Yang, General Meng, please come forward." ”

Yang Yifei nodded, and explained that his two two or five hundred lords led the troops, and then followed the personal soldiers to the front of the army.

The soldiers returned to the battle on their own, but Yang Yifei rode his horse to Meng Yi's side and said, "Yang Yifei was ordered to come, I don't know what the general commanded?" ”

Meng Yi smiled and said to Yang Yifei: "General Yang, this is the famous General Li Xin Li, he wants to meet you, a legendary person. ”

Yang Yifei looked at Li Xin in front of him, only to see that he was long, his appearance was extraordinary, and he had a figure flying beard on his lips, a little less rough and majestic of Meng Yi, but a little more elegant, this is a Changshan Zhao Zilong-style Confucian general.

Yang Yifei hugged his fists and said: "The last general, Yang Yifei, has seen General Li." ”

Li Xin stroked his beard under his chin, smiled and said, "Good, good, General Yang is heroic, extraordinary, and has the style of a general." ”

"General Yang's forging array and new tactics can be said to have benefited the whole army, and General Yang is here, and he will thank General Yang on behalf of his soldiers."

Yang Yifei owed a debt on horseback, and said: "General Li's words are serious, for the peace of the family and the country, the country will be eternal and do his best, and after death, it is the duty of our Great Qin soldiers, and the last general will not dare to take credit." ”

"Hahahaha...... Okay, a good one to do his best, and then die, this is exactly the belief that every soldier in my Daqin should have, General Yang, a good general. ”

Li Xin looked at Yang Yifei with more and more appreciation, young and promising, but not arrogant or impatient, it was really rare, and he couldn't help but secretly envy Meng Yi, such a good general, why not under my command?

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, the Mengjia army entered the camp, and after settling down, all the generals above the military marquis went to the big tent of the Chinese army to raise their tents.

In terms of military rank, Meng Yi is on the same level as Li Xin, but in terms of title, Meng Yi is one level higher than Li Xin, Meng Yi is a sixteenth-level great master, belonging to the secretary, and Li Xin is a fifteenth-level young master, as the middle secretary.

"General Li, what is the current situation?"

Li Xin said: "The enemy has not attacked in a big way these days, and the main battle at present is the exchange of scouts and light cavalry, with casualties on each other. ”

Meng Yi said: "Have you found out where the enemy army is camping?" ”

Li Xin said: "Judging from the reports of the scouts, the enemy's camp should be thirty miles away in the northwest, near the Weishui tributary. ”

"Hmm......" Meng Yi groaned, swiped his finger across the map, and then drew a small circle in one place and lightly clicked on it.

Meng Yi suddenly looked up at Yang Yifei and said, "General Yang." ”

Yang Yi flew out of the ranks, hugged his fists and said, "The end will be." ”

Meng Yi said: "How do you think we should start this battle?" ”

Yang Yifei was secretly grateful in his heart, he knew that Meng Yi wanted to cultivate himself and give himself the opportunity to make his first contribution.

The beginning of a war is very important, if the first battle is won, the morale of the own side will naturally rise sharply, and the initiative in the war will be occupied, so the military merit of winning the first battle is very great.

Of course, the risk is also great, if the first battle is lost, because the general is not properly commanded, then there is a fault, and its fault is not small, after the end of the war, if not enough military merits to offset the fault, you will be punished accordingly.

If there are other reasons, such as force majeure, or the scout's intelligence error, etc., then there is no fault, and there are others who are responsible for the defeat of the war, and someone is always to blame.

Although it was the first time for Yang Yifei to lead his troops to fight, he was not stunned, and after a little thought, he said loudly: "General Hui, the archers are the most suitable troops to start the battle. ”

"First, the archers are proficient in cavalry archery, and they are even stronger than ordinary scouts, and the last general can lead the archers to attack the enemy camp and destroy the enemy scouts along the way."

"Two to ......"

Yang Yifei told his battle plan one by one, and when he heard that all the soldiers in the camp were overjoyed, Meng Yi and Li Xin nodded again and again.

After Yang Yifei finished speaking, Meng Yi's expression was solemn and he shouted: "General Yang listens to the order." ”

Yang Yifei hugged his fists and said: "The end will be." ”

Meng Yi said: "General Ben ordered you to lead the archers to attack early tomorrow morning, after the sun rises, and go straight to the enemy camp." ”

"The last general commands."
