After chatting with Shi Hu a lot, Shi Le explained many things that needed attention.

There was no word all night, and the next day, Shi Hu commanded 20,000 infantry cavalry, and brought the generals Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong, who surrendered when they subdued Yongzhou, and sent troops to Qingzhou.

At the same time, Shi Le also sent the generals Guo Heiluo and Zhang Choke to invade Mi County.

This time, Shi Le's use of troops was sudden, and since he mobilized the troops and horses to meet in Luoyang, there has been no news at all.

Huang Kui, the guard general of Mi County, was originally Quan Yan's old subordinate when he was a bandit, but because of his seniority and bravery, he was promoted by Quan Yan to the county commander of Mi County, responsible for the safety of the Mi County area.

Because Mi County is at the forefront, in addition to the 300 county soldiers here, there are also 2,000 soldiers from Quanyan.

However, even so many people were attacked by Guo Heiluo overnight, and Huang Kui personally supervised the battle, and was also shot through the throat by Zhang Chofu, who was ambushed.

As soon as Huang Kui died, the defenders of Mi County were in chaos.

At the critical moment, Fang Xu, the county lieutenant under Huang Kui and the younger brother of Fang Yi, who was born in the military academy, reined in the defeated soldiers in time and forced back the offensive of Guo Heiluo and Zhang Chofu with fire.

Then, while Fang Xu organized the defense and fortified the city, he sent someone to send Quan Yan a message asking for help.

Knowing that Shi Le had raised troops to attack, Quan Yan did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly ordered his younger brother Quan Yao to lead 5,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and led an army of 10,000 people to follow.

The two sides had a big battle in Mi County, and they won and lost each other for half a month.

In the end, due to the sudden appearance of Shile, Mi County was breached, and Quan Yan had no choice but to rein in the defeated army and retreat to Xuchang.

At this point, the time has just entered winter.

···

In the snowy Jiankang City, Yao Yu received the battle report from the front line, sitting next to the stove, his brows were high and his cheeks were furrowed, and next to him, the class table, Tao Ji, Suo Hong, Wen Xu, Sun Yi, Fu Yan, Yongji, Wang Xuance and other civil and military cadres all had solemn faces and did not speak.

"Is this Shile going crazy? After taking Youzhou and Yongzhou, don't you want to develop steadily, why did you send troops to attack Xuchang without saying a word. It's hard to do it. He is not afraid of such a high-intensity campaign and letting the rear catch fire? ”

After observing the battle report, Yao Yu sighed and said.

Yao Yu knew so much about things that Shi Le couldn't figure out, let alone the class schedule.

"Perhaps, Schle wants to drag us down by war. Only when both sides are exhausted and unable to fight will he think about recuperation. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, the class table proposed a possibility.

When Yao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "If only things were so simple." Shile is not a fool, and should know that the south is not the same as it was a hundred years ago. After the Yongjia Rebellion, the people fled south. In terms of population alone, the South is no worse than the North. Although the southern part of the country has less potential than the northern part of the country. But now the Huaisi area has been taken by me. The offensive and defensive momentum is also easy. Shile should have known that there was no benefit to him in sending troops at this time. ”

"Anyway, Shi Le is coming, we can't watch it."

Wang Xuance couldn't help it, don't look like a scholar, but he still has a belligerent attitude in his bones.

No, Wang Xuance patted his chest and said: "My lord, this way, I will take the Xiaoqi battalion to the north immediately, and within three months, I will definitely defeat Shile." ”

Yao Yu glanced at Wang Xuance: "Are you Shi Le's opponent?" ”

"Why not. Shile is not three-headed and six-armed. ”

"Come on, I'm still afraid that you will fight against Shangshile and send all the Xiaoqi battalions. The reckless style of play is useless to him. ”

Yong Ji groaned: "Song Gong, why don't you let me go." ”

"Not at all. Schler is not an ordinary person. I don't have any worries about any of you going. I personally led the conscription. ”

As he spoke, Yao Yu took a deep breath and turned his head to ask Suo Hong, "How much grain and grass is available in the treasury?" ”

Suo Hong didn't want to reply: "At present, the grain and grass are only enough for an army of 30,000 to last for two months. Most of them were supported by Yizhou for post-war recovery. ”

Wang Xuance was very surprised: "Two months? So little? From Jiankang to Xuchang, it takes more than a month to go back and forth. That's enough. Can't you have more? ”

"No matter how much you have, you can only withhold food from the people."

Yao Yu glanced at Wang Xuance and said to Suo Hong: "Two months is two months." The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and finding Shiler's weakness in two months should not be much of a problem to defeat him. Pass my order and let the immovable battalion prepare for the cavalry battalion. ”

"Ah, Duke Song, this expedition is all cavalry?"

Yao Yu snorted: "If you want to fight in the north, cavalry is a must." Otherwise, what will be used to fight these people who started on horseback? ”

As he spoke, Yao Yu finalized the candidates for this expedition.

Because this was a defensive battle, Yao Yu didn't use too many generals.

is still the same as before, the class table Suo Hongyong is in charge of the three of them, and they sit in the rear. Sun Yi, Fu Yan, Lu Bi, He Xiong, Wang Xuance, Yao Bao, Guan Lie, Fang Yi, and newcomer Zhong Tu followed the army on the expedition.

It is worth mentioning that Yao Yu explained to Wen Xu Tao Ji before leaving, and asked the Xiahou Bing brothers and Zhu Xu and others to work under the two of them.

Wen Xu is the Central Protector, and his official position is not as good as Zhu Xu's, but his power is greater than Zhu Xu's.

said that he asked Zhu Xu to come here to help, but in fact, it made no difference when he was a subordinate.

The same is true for the Xiahou brothers.

Everything was discussed, and Yao Yu was ready to go on the expedition.

After everyone went back, Yao Yu returned to the backyard, and basically, Ban Rou and they all knew that Yao Yu was going to go on the expedition again.

The backyard that was babbling before is quiet now.

Everyone sat at the table, guarding a table of food waiting for Yao Yu.

When Yao Yu came back, what he saw was the scene of his wife and children staring at each other, and for a while, he couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Yao Teng looked at Yao Yu timidly: "Dad, are you going out to fight again?" ”

Yao Yu went over and sat next to Yao Teng and hugged his eldest son on his lap: "That's not okay, some people don't want their father to have a good time." If Dad doesn't go out, he'll be on his neck. ”

Ban Rou said quietly: "Although I don't know how Shi Le is doing, I also know that he has recently unified the north, and his strength is not lower than Li Xiong." ”

Yao Yu shook his head: "Wrong Sister Rou, she is only higher than Li Xiong." ”

"Ah, is Shile so terrible?"

Yao Yu was dumbfounded: "Otherwise, why would Ren Shile dominate the north." ”

"Then don't go, the last time you conquered Li Xiong, if it wasn't for the tiger head, you would have already had an accident. This Shile is more powerful than Li Xiong, if he goes, I'm afraid it is, I'm afraid it is..."

Yao Yu shook his head: "Sister Rou, you can't say that. We can't let him be presumptuous in our territory just because Shi Le is powerful. Besides, I just became the Duke of Song, but the enemy is coming but I am indifferent, what do the people of the world think of me? ”
