There are more infantry in Shu, this is common sense since ancient times, the reason is actually very simple, because Shu is located in the mountains in the west, although there is also a rich land, but there are few vast horse farms with fertile water and grass to support a large number of cavalry, so the Shu army is mostly foot soldiers, mobility is not strong, but because the people are living in the mountains, they are born fierce, and the endurance is very strong, very good at fighting the enemy in an extremely harsh environment, although attacking the city is not what they are good at, but it has really created a lot of trouble for the border of Youzhou over the years。

Youzhou and Yanzhou are very different, and it can even be said that there is a world of difference, contrary to Yanzhou, there are not many big cities in Youzhou, and there are not so many towering sentry posts on the border, completely relying on the small military fortresses dotted around as barriers and arch guards, between each other, they all rely on wolf smoke as a communication, because the sky in the northwest, even at night, there are not too many shelters, often the sky with the bright moon hanging high, so even at night, the wolf smoke signal is clearly visible.

Previously, when Wu Heng was still planning to deal with the six major tribes of the Garo Khanate, Wu Heng had already crossed the sea of sand and was in the Shu Kingdom in the west, and it took a few more days to completely say that after the monarchs and ministers of the Shu State were moved, several parties sent troops together according to the agreed time in advance, even if it was the most marginal one, it was the one who was the most worried, but the people of Shu did not lose their words, and the 500,000 troops guarding the frontier poured out, but overnight, there were at least dozens of large and small fortresses on the border of Youzhou that were destroyed。

However, the strange thing is that after that, they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and continued to advance towards the interior of Youzhou, but directly stationed in the occupied area, facing each other from Youzhou, and did not take any action.

------------------------------------

The Yuyang Army, one of the two border armies guarding Youzhou, and among the nine armies of the empire, is an army with its own number and history, and the Tiger Army, the Xiong Zhen Army and the Bloody Army, etc., just from the establishment, the status is the same, 300,000 fine cavalry, crisscrossing Youzhou, guarding the frontier for many years, this strength is naturally not bad.

This army, which is extraordinary in strength and not weak in name, is led by Luo Jingyun, the right general who is as famous as the left general Pei Zhengyang, a right general of the town army, and his status in Youzhou is already comparable to a book of the imperial court.

In order to prevent the Shu army from attacking the city again, causing greater losses, 300,000 Yuyang troops also received the order, gathered from all over the country, starry night, and rushed to the front line, in order to show the courage and determination of the Youzhou army, 300,000 elite cavalry were directly stationed in the opposite side of the 500,000 Shu army, the camp tents of both sides were spread out against each other, stretching for several miles, and the end could not be seen at a glance, and the daily consumption of grain and grass supplies was an astronomical amount, and 300,000 cavalry went to the front line, behind which there were hundreds of thousands of people who did logistics alone, or how to say that the war was fought was the accumulation of national strength and logistics supplies。

The two parties looked at each other from a distance, except that the spies on both sides were in contact with each other, and occasionally there were injuries, and they would occasionally get together on weekdays and scold each other fiercely.

It's like two people with a deep blood feud, each holding a knife and standing face to face, except for an occasional scolding or two, they don't even have the meaning of pulling the knife out of its sheath, this ability is a very interesting thing.

The tents of the teams on both sides were extremely tightly set up, and everything was prepared, and the cooking was not hurried, and there was no trace of the tension that should have existed before the big battle, and the feeling was as strange as if they had made up their minds at the beginning to pay attention to the long time with each other.

In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Yuyang Army, the heavy curtain used to resist the wind and sand was lifted from the outside, and a young general wearing a streamlined black armor covering the whole body, without any weapons, with a heroic face and an extremely handsome appearance, walked in from the outside.

"General!"

Facing the old man sitting behind the table in the tent, he had no restraint, just respectfully clasped his fists and saluted from the heart, and bowed directly to the other party.

Seeing that the young general suddenly broke in, the old man was not angry, but had a kind smile in his eyes.

"Who should I be so bold to rush in without spreading the word, it turns out to be you kid!"

Although he had a questioning tone on his lips, between his eyebrows, it was obvious that an old man looked at his children and grandchildren with the feeling of relief and protection.

Cao Yan, one hundred households in the Yuyang Army, has the same status as Lu Dengyun who is in the Tiger Army, and is a new star in the army, and has been favored and vigorously cultivated by the old general, if there is no accident in the future, he will become the successor of the right general, so although this person's official position is not high, his actual status and prestige in the Yuyang Army are extremely high.

He is also the godson of the old man, the two have been together for many years, as close as father and son, it can be said that he Cao Yan was cultivated by the old man, if there is no old man, there is no today's Cao Yan, Cao Yan is really to serve the old man as his father and elder, but because it is too close, so it is inevitable that there will be negligence in this etiquette, so it will be like this without passing through, and he directly opened the curtain and broke in.

Hearing his father-in-law's reprimand, Cao Yan rarely showed a shy smile on his face, this young man with a lonely personality and great ability didn't even look down on the first family of Daliang in the city of Youzhou Prefecture, and felt that they were nothing more than lucky people who had a good baby and were blessed by their ancestors.

"The military situation is urgent, and I lost my manners, so I hope that my father-in-law is not to blame!"

When the old man heard this, he just shook his head helplessly, gently put down the book in his hand, and said to him with a smile: "You, it's just like your father-in-law, but if you see the general in the future, or you are lucky enough to make a great contribution, and you are summoned by Your Majesty, if you are still so rude, and leave a handle for people, then you will suffer a big loss." ”

Cao Yan listened to it and knew that his father-in-law was persuading him to care about him, and his heart warmed, but he replied with a smile: "Then I will be like my father-in-law, and I will guard the border for the rest of my life, so I don't have to run to see those who don't." ”

"Hey. ”

When the old man heard this, he only sighed softly, but did not teach him any more.

It is normal for young people to be like this, if they are young and think about how to please their bosses every day, seek promotion, and go further in their careers, this kind of person may be able to become a big official, but he will never be valued by Luo Jingyun.

Many things, both verbal and written, can never be more impressive than the lessons actually learned.

"Okay, what is the matter with you coming to me today? Could it be that the little monkeys in the mountains on the other side are finally going to make trouble?"

The monkey in the mountain can be regarded as a contempt for the enemies of Shu by the Youzhou army, just as the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom also called their Youzhou army a dry and smelly sheep dung ball.

Cao Yan shook his head and said in a calm tone: "No, it's just that the child has something unclear, and I came to ask the righteous father today." ”

The old man shook slightly, stood up, and although he already knew in his heart what the other party would ask, he still asked, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Cao Yan also stood up from the ground, and then hugged his fists again and said: "Father-in-law, although the Shu army on the opposite side has 500,000, it is nothing more than a bunch of local chickens and dogs, and they will collapse when they touch it, and they hide in the mountains to fight guerrilla attacks with us on weekdays, but now they dare to use a large army to suppress the territory, isn't it sent to death? Such a great credit has been placed on our lips, how can we not swallow it? Today, I have come to ask my father-in-law to allow me to ride 100,000 fine horses, and I will take the head of the enemy's general and dedicate it to my father-in-law!"

This is self-confidence, I, Cao Yan, lead the troops, even if I take 100,000 to beat you 500,000?

However, what he didn't expect was that after listening to his proposal, the old man on the opposite side said to him very seriously: "No, you must not take risks, Yan'er, how do you know about the war in Yanzhou?"

Cao Yan was stunned when he heard this, and reacted in an instant, and said in surprise: "Yanzhou also had an accident?"

In an instant, he suddenly realized, and immediately said: "I understand, Shu, Wei, Jin, and the Three Kingdoms must have sent troops together, so I said where did these monkey cubs come from so boldly to invade my Youzhou border, so it is!"

This is the top military genius, he Cao Yan, is a person who turns over and over a map of the south, and finally knows the details of various places by heart, is a person who deduces the development and future direction of the war back and forth on the sand table every day, and even sleepless all night, Luo Jingyun just indirectly mentioned a sentence, he reacted, and in an instant, he had already guessed the situation that was happening now.

"However, Yanzhou is guarded by Xiong Zhen and Lixue, and the strength is not under our Youzhou, in a short period of time, although it will not quickly defeat the enemy's main force, it will not be defeated so quickly, after all, the imperial court is on the border defense of Yanzhou, but it has made great efforts, well, in this way, our side should speed up, exterminate the Shu army as soon as possible, and go to support, it will change later!"

The old man looked at this young man who had cultivated himself with his own hands and already had such outstanding military talents at a young age, and couldn't help but sigh again, and said a little tiredly: "Alas, where is the matter so simple, forget it, let's show it to yourself." ”

As he spoke, he leaned over and rolled up a roll of parchment paper on the table and threw it over, this was the latest emergency military information that had arrived here, and it recorded in detail the specific situation of the battle in Yanzhou, although the things recorded on it had already happened in Yanzhou a few days ago.

Cao Yan reached out to catch it and immediately began to read, the more he read, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and the more shocked the expression on his face became.

"What? Kanmeng'an only lasted two hours before falling completely, and Juyongguan only lasted two and a half hours?"

He studied the map very deeply, and the defense capabilities of the two main levels in Yanzhou next to him were even more aware of it, and now he suddenly learned that these two Xiongguan were broken by the other party at such a fast speed, which made him feel shocked.

After all, let him do the same thing, and he Cao Yan admitted that he couldn't do it so quickly.

"Wei Guo Xie Houyin, Jin State Xue Bi?" Cao Yan raised his head, his eyes showed a fierce fighting intent, as if the owner of these names was in front of him, "Xue Bi is a veteran, he has already emerged decades ago, but then he suddenly made a big mistake and was hidden by the Jin Kingdom, I never thought that he would have a day to lead the troops, but in the end, he is old, there is no need to worry, only this Xie Houyin, at a young age, actually has such a ability, even if Kanmengan has just changed the guard, it is far from being run in, but it will not be defeated so quickly!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly came back to his senses, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly hugged his fist towards the old man and said: "The righteous father is brave, especially in the prime of life, how much better than Xue Bi is a hundred times, the child lost his words just now, and please punish the righteous father!"

The old man smiled nonchalantly, waved his hand lightly and said: "What is the punishment for this, you are right, this world is originally for young people, and you have to admit it when you are old, you can't just occupy the pit and not, if the Jin Kingdom is alone Xue Bi Lao'er, it is indeed not a matter of worry, this is the truth." ”

Although Cao Yan's expression was cold, he was full of fighting spirit and was already eager to try, and he said loudly again: "Father-in-law, since this is the case, then we should attack as soon as possible, and after destroying the elite of the Shu army, we should go to Yanzhou as soon as possible, why have you been waiting here and not doing anything, I really want to fight with this Xie Houyin!"

The old man shook his head, and said in a calm tone: "Yanzhou's affairs, Yanzhou will solve it by itself, if Yanzhou can't solve it, there will also be the imperial court to solve it, these are not things that our Youzhou army should be anxious about, what we have to do is to hold on, drag the 500,000 Shu army here, and prevent them from rushing to the aid of the Weijin coalition army on the Yanzhou side." ”

Cao Yan's eyes widened when he heard this, because he didn't believe that this was what his stepfather could say.

Not to mention anything else, how did this Shu army run to help?

Thousands of miles back and forth, I am afraid that when their gang arrives, even the daylily will be cold, not to mention that once the other party stretches the battle line too long and does not have enough strength to accompany and protect, it will be complete suicide!

There are a bunch of cavalry here, whether it is to go directly to cut off the enemy's supply line, or to rush to the rear to kill the hinterland of Shu and force the other party to return, it is a feasible choice, how can their Yuyang army hold on?

Hold on to that's what only the infantry who can't run fast do, they're all cavalry on their side, give up mobility and hold on?

He didn't think that this was something that an old man who had been in the Yuyang Army all his life would say, not to mention that most of his skills were taught by the old man, wasn't this a slap in the face?

Besides, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, how else can it be said that there are generals outside the country, and military orders are not subject to this statement?

If you are really stupid and waiting for the information to be transmitted to the capital, waiting for the capital to be transferred, even if there are post stations along the way to help change horses, I don't know how long it will take, and then Yanzhou may have completely fallen, and the order has not yet arrived, what should I do at that time?

What's more, do you want a group of laymen in the capital to tell them how to fight this battle with these experts?

Isn't that funny?

The old man knew what the kid was thinking, so he could only turn sideways silently, not letting the young man in front of him see the grief and indignation in his eyes, and still said in a persuasive tone: "The situation in Yanzhou has been eroded to this point, what we can do now is not to cause trouble to the imperial court, and don't let Youzhou also fall together, just do it." ”

"Child, as long as you fight, you may lose, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, no one can say that we can guarantee to win, and we just need to stay here and monitor the army of Shu, it is enough, and leave the rest to others to do!"

Cao Yan's eyes showed unwillingness, and he pleaded in a deep voice with the last hope: "Father-in-law, believe in the child! I won't lose, allow me 30,000 soldiers, I will go to the aid of Yanzhou, I promise, I will not fight their main force head-on, I only need to cut off their supply lines, and the danger of Yanzhou will be solved at that time!"

Since I can't run to fight Shu head-on, then it's okay for me to go to Yanzhou and stab the butts of these rabbit cubs, right?

What's more, I'm Cao Yan, how can I let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to really lead the troops into battle and confront the leading genius of the enemy country?

When the old man heard this, he turned around, his eyes were full of anger, his face was majestic, and he finally recovered the domineering momentum that belonged to the right general of the Youzhou Town Army.

He flicked his sleeves, pointed at Cao Yan and shouted: "No! Cao Yan, don't you understand? General Ben said no, then there is no room for bargaining!"

Seeing this, Cao Yan's heart was full of doubts, but in the face of the old man's pressure, he couldn't fake it, and after hesitating for a while, he still gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and lowered his voice: "Father-in-law, is this what you mean, or is this what others mean?"

The old man didn't answer, but went up and slapped him, and at the same time burst into applause.

"Presumptuous! Are you so used to being careless that you have forgotten all the discipline in the army? What kind of thing are you Cao Yan? But just a hundred households, and they also came to question General Ben? What use do I want you to do with such a soldier who does not obey orders? I will go and get thirty military sticks myself, and after receiving the punishment, I will go home and think, when I have figured it out, I will come to General Ben again!"

Cao Yan was slapped suddenly, and his cheeks hurt hotly, but he didn't say much, just silently clenched the note that the other party had quietly handed over just now, and hugged his fists and said, "Yes, General!"

"Get out!"

The old man scolded again.

Cao Yan bowed again, then turned around and strode away.

After lifting the curtain, Cao Yan found that there was a person standing next to him, medium height, and his appearance was not bad, but there was an extra hooked nose, which destroyed the beauty of the whole face and gave people a sense of discomfort of a sinister villain.

"What are you looking at?"

Cao Yan covered his face with one hand, hid the note inside, looked embarrassed, and pretended to be angry.

The bright red slap mark on his face, even if he covered it, could still see the corners clearly.

Gao Raccoon also saw it clearly, and he didn't want to rashly offend such an arrogant soldier who had just been beaten and scolded, the last time it was Lu Dengyun, who made him scorched and almost died, and now these young people, that one is more grumpy, and it doesn't mean anything to offend the other party, not to mention that he came today, he has serious things to do, and he just bowed down at the moment, and took the initiative to lower his posture and said: "Lord Baihu, I am just a messenger for the general's mansion." ”

"The General's Mansion?"

When Cao Yan heard this, he looked at the other party suspiciously, his mouth moved, and he didn't dare to say anything cruel after all, and finally just snorted coldly and walked away silently.

Gao Raccoon looked at his back, shook his head, didn't say much, and didn't wait for the word to be transmitted, he directly opened the curtain and walked in.

Compared to the really high-ranking old man inside, he was obviously more afraid of the young man who had just walked by.

Although the old man has a high status and the power he holds in his hands is also heavy, but in the end, he is an old man, and he will not be as reckless as a young man, and he will weigh the gains and losses and consequences, but once the young man goes crazy, where will he care about your general's mansion or not, Lu Dengyun is the best example, so the raccoon dog who entered the tent was more domineering than at the door.
