After Wen Yiheng said goodbye to everyone, he turned on his horse, set off towards the military camp outside the capital with quick movements, and led the troops to the surrender city in the west of northern Xinjiang.

After more than half a month of rapid marching, Wen Yiheng's team finally arrived at the city of Xishou and found the envoy of the city of Xishou, wanting to understand the situation before and after the battle, so as to set a strategy for rescuing Su Fenglan.

Wen Yiheng originally planned to bring military supplies to the study trapped in Yanran Mountain in the west of the surrendered city, but he unexpectedly learned that a new letter was sent to the capital ten days ago.

It turned out that Su Fenglan's army, which had no reserve materials to continue to support, gradually fell out, and there were already hundreds of soldiers in the army who had frozen to death, frostbite, and starved to death.

The 8,000-strong marching army led by Su Fenglan was originally trapped in the valley, and even if he escaped with his wits later, there were only 4,000 people left, and finally encountered the 6,000-strong elite cavalry led by Shan Yu Keran, facing Yanran Mountain from afar.

The army was trapped continuously, and the imperial court support that had been applied to the letter had not yet arrived due to the long distance, so this cavalry of more than 3,000 people gradually declined, but Su Fenglan insisted on waiting for Wen Yiheng's reinforcements to arrive.

When Su Fenglan's army was in a stalemate with Shan Yu Keran's army, Shan Yu Keran sent a messenger to Su Fenglan to send a treaty, promising to withdraw the army in order to negotiate on an equal footing, hoping to form a friendly alliance with the Dayin Dynasty regardless of previous suspicions.

Wen Yiheng frowned immediately after hearing this, and said solemnly: "The new letter was sent to the capital ten days ago, and we actually missed it with the messenger who delivered the letter... Is the content of the new letter sent to the capital a treaty sent by Yu Keran, or is it a report to the imperial court on the current military situation? ”

Du Zhi glanced at Wen Yiheng's expression, and hesitated: "Both, the content of the letter is to report the current military situation, and the content of the treaty is exactly the same and sent to the capital together." ”

"Did General Su sign a treaty?" Wen Yiheng's expression became more and more serious.

"It's... General Su was forced to protect the remaining soldiers at that time, and only verbally promised the messenger, saying that he was willing to form an alliance with Shan Yu Keran, but no paper treaty had been signed at present. ”

Wen Yiheng saw that the current situation was still salvageable, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said firmly: "If a paper treaty has not yet been signed, only General Su's verbal promise, in the end, we can disagree with this alliance and continue to repel Shan Yu Keran's army." ”

"The state has the shape of being trapped, and people have the will not to be trapped. The monarch and the people will die and the city will be shattered, and this kind of alliance under the city must not be signed. "Wen Yiheng has always been unsupportive of people who easily sign peace treaties with enemy countries on the battlefield.

The envoy still has faint worries about this plan: "But even if we don't recognize it, if the treaty is sent to the capital and is seen by the saint, I am afraid that it will also be furious, and when the power of heaven comes, the border may be chaotic again." ”

Wen Yiheng immediately ordered: "Envoy, you immediately send people out of the city, try to recover the messenger who sent the new letter, and you must not let the saint see this treaty, otherwise General Su may lose his head." ”

When the envoy heard this, he immediately went out to find someone, and Wen Yiheng instructed the adjutant general: "Tonight, we will first settle on the spot, and when the army has lunch at noon tomorrow, we can set off and lead the army to Yanran Mountain to meet General Su." ”

Wen Yiheng's plan was well thought out, but the actual situation was not as expected.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the soldiers who cannot return to their hometowns for the holidays miss their relatives in their hometowns, and the border war is in a difficult situation, so their morale is slightly low.

Wen Yiheng had to spend two days and a total of five morale boosts before and after, and finally the absent-minded soldiers regained their morale.

After being delayed for two days than originally planned, Wen Yiheng was able to lead the regrouped army to Yanran Mountain.

After leading the army out of the city, Wen Yiheng first led the army to camp in the Manyi Valley on the south side of Yanran Mountain and build a fortress to resist. Then he took advantage of the night to lead a team of 3,000 elites to bypass the rear of Yanran Mountain, and successfully covered Su Fenglan and his 1,000-strong army to return to Manyi Valley safely.

After a day of holding off with Shan Yu Keran's army, which had pursued here, in Manyi Valley, Wen Yiheng proposed to let Su Fenglan return to the west to surrender to the city.

Su Fenglan, who was full of wind and frost, raised concerns about this: "If the old man leads the soldiers to leave, wouldn't Shan Keran suspect that the old man broke the contract and fled, and then he was angry and sent troops to attack us?" You have only a thousand sergeants left here, and the situation may be even more dangerous. ”

Su Fenglan couldn't help but wonder if he had seen the wrong person, and whether he had made a wrong decision by asking Wen Yiheng to come to the front line to support him this time.

Su Fenglan couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "How can such a Wen Yiheng be my son-in-law?" How to be worthy of the old man's baby daughter? ”

Wen Yiheng still had his own plan in his heart, and said confidently: "It's very simple. Just pretend to be me and sneak back to the city, and I will pretend to be a general and you will be stationed here. In this way, Yu Keran will think that you are still here, and he will not send troops to attack. ”

"But you are stationed here, and you still need the old man and the old man to send troops to rescue you in the future, wouldn't this be an extra move?" Su Fenglan had already regretted sending a letter to the imperial court to ask Wen Yiheng to come over to help.

Originally, in the capital, Su Fenglan had a detailed discussion with Wen Yiheng many times, and Su Fenglan agreed very much with many of the ways proposed by Wen Yiheng to govern the army and conquest, but how did he know that Wen Yiheng was talking on paper, and now as soon as he went to the battlefield, he revealed his true form, and tried his best to make some decisions......

Wen Yiheng saw the disappointment and dissatisfaction in Su Fenglan's eyes, and was not in a hurry to explain, but asked an insignificant question: "General Su is trapped in Yanran Mountain, do you know that Shan Yu Keran brought a few generals with the army this time?" 666 Literature Network

Su Fenglan replied quickly: "Two!" One is Du Yanhui and the other is Bi Biaoyue, both of whom are brave and good at fighting. ”

The implication of Su Fenglan's words is to hint to Wen Yiheng that these two soldiers are powerful, if Wen Yiheng insists on leaving thousands of people to stay in Manyi Valley and encounters one of these two people, it will only be more auspicious.

Wen Yiheng said unhurriedly: "Not bad." Shan Yu Keran took these two brave generals with him, and learned that the Holy Lord had sent me as the generalissimo of the march to support.

As soon as tonight, and as late as tomorrow night, he will send one of them to rob the camp to take me and sign the covenant. ”

"So tonight or tomorrow night, I plan to disguise myself as you and lead the troops to hold on, and not take the initiative to send troops to fight against them for the time being, if nothing I expected, within two days, the enemy may come and surrender. At that time, I will bring the man back to the city and let him see the real Wen Yiheng. ”

Su Fenglan hated iron and said: "Wen Zichu, don't you understand the current situation?" Now that Yu Keran's army alone has the upper hand, it is easy to kill a thousand soldiers, including you, how can there be an enemy who will surrender to our army in the future? ”

"General Su doesn't need to be in a hurry, you just need to act according to my plan and return to the West Surrender City, and there will definitely be enemies coming to surrender in the future."

Wen Yiheng asked people to send the clothes of the two, and then they exchanged identities.

In the evening, Su Fenglan reluctantly pretended to be Wen Yiheng and led a large number of troops to rush back to the city of Xishou overnight, while Wen Yiheng, who pretended to be Su Fenglan, led an elite of 1,000 people to garrison in Manyi Valley.

As soon as Su Fenglan led the army to leave Manyi Valley, a spy sent news to Shan Yu Keran.

Sure enough, Shi Shan Yu Keran, who learned the news, had already decided to rob the camp tonight, so he sent someone to summon Bi Biaoyue and said to him:

"Wen Yiheng's straw bale stayed for four days after arriving in Xishou City, and he only stayed in Manyi Valley for less than a day before leaving. Presumably he is a man who is good at defending cities and timid in field battles. Now that he has taken Su Fenglan back and moved to Manyi Valley, he is already catching turtles in the urn. ”

"Someone just came to report that a large number of their troops have fled back to the city of Xishou, leaving only a small number of people to continue to garrison Manyi Valley."

Shan Yu Keran threw an eagle head card in front of Bi Biao Yue: "Wen Yiheng has fallen into our trap, you use the eagle head card tonight to lead a thousand cavalry to Manyi Valley to rob the camp, to see if Wen Yiheng will flee with the army tonight or continue to stay." ”

Shan Yu Keran glanced at Bi Biaoyue fixedly, and his voice was low and stern: "... If he stays, bring him back alive. If you can't catch Wen Yiheng, you don't have to come back to see me! And your family, I will send them to your burial with you. ”

Bi Biao gritted his teeth, immediately knelt on the ground to receive the order, and led a thousand elite cavalry to set off at night and headed for Manyi Valley.

Wen Yiheng led people to strictly guard the position and waited all night. When approaching, sure enough, a general dressed in a high-chariot country with a squad of 1,000 people stopped about a kilometer away, and then the general approached the front of the big camp with 500 cavalry.

When the soldiers on duty at the gate of the camp saw the situation, they immediately sent a message to Wen Yiheng and said: "General Su, there is indeed an enemy general outside the camp with a small team of men!" ”

At this time, Wen Yiheng, who was already pretending to be Su Fenglan, raised his hand and stroked the beard stuck to his chin, nodded and said, "Okay, let's explore and report again." Just wait as I have commanded you, and see what he will do, and then report it to me. ”

So the soldiers in front of the camp only waited quietly, and they had no fear of leading the cavalry close to the front of the camp, but they also had no hostile posture.

Bi Biaoyue felt very strange about the current situation, and asked the deputy general beside him: "Are these remnants of the Great Yin Army stupid by us?" How is it such a welcoming state? ”

The adjutant general agreed: "Xu is that Wen Yiheng is afraid of our strength and is willing to sign a treaty with us, so he will welcome us like this." ”

Bi Biaoyue stepped forward with a pinch of the horse's belly, and shouted to the goalkeeper, "Where is your generalissimo Wen?" Tell him to come out and answer! ”

The soldier guarding the gate did not answer immediately, but went to the camp to invite Wen Yiheng.

Wen Yiheng, who was about the same height as Su Fenglan and wore armor and a helmet, was across the camp gate, and replied loudly: "The generalissimo has returned to the West Surrender City this evening!" ”

Knowing that "Wen Yiheng" had left and that Shan Yu Keran's confession could not be completed, Bi Biaoyue shouted impatiently: "Then how many soldiers does he leave behind?" Who is the general? Let your generals come out and answer! ”

Wen Yiheng continued to lie calmly: "The generalissimo left with most of the soldiers, leaving only a total of 1,000 soldiers with us, and the general is still me Su Fenglan." ”

The night was dark, coupled with Wen Yiheng's "makeup" and the cover of the helmet, Bi Biaoyue did not recognize that the person behind the camp gate was not the real Su Fenglan.
