Guangchang County Commander Yan Ping learned of Sun Ming's arrival, so he welcomed him into the city, Sun Ming and others came to Guangchang County Ya and saw Yan Ping.

Yan Ping had business dealings with Sun Ming and his father Sun Wuji before, and he had a good relationship with Sun Wuji, so he also had a good impression of Sun Ming.

After sitting down, Sun Ming immediately told him about the situation of Wuruan Pass, and Yan Ping heard that Sun Ming had recovered Wuruan Pass, and praised Sun for his indifference next year.

Sun Ming then asked, "Yan County Order, I wonder if there are thieves attacking and harassing Guangchang here?" ”

"There are only the remnants of young men near Guangchang, so it is not a problem. However, the thieves on the side of Dai County attacked fiercely, and they sent someone for help a few days ago. ”

"The thief Cheng Yuanzhi commanded 40,000 troops to invade Dai County, and now he is besieging Dai County, and the city will be destroyed in a few days."

"Now Sun Xian's nephew is going west to give reinforcements, and we can allocate a thousand men and horses to listen to your dispatch and go to break the enemy."

Sun Ming was overjoyed, and Yan Ping held a small banquet for Sun Ming in his own mansion that night, and everyone drank heartily during the meeting.

But only Li Meng doesn't drink a drop of wine, he has a tendon in his head, he only knows that it is dangerous to be in this strange occasion, and he must always protect Sun Ming's safety.

It wasn't until late at night that Sun Ming returned to his military camp outside the city in a daze.

Early the next morning, the 1,000 people in Guangchang came to rest near Sun Ming's camp, and the generals led by him came to Sun Ming's camp to meet Sun Ming.

"Yan Ke, the military official of Guangchang, visited Lieutenant Sun County, was ordered by Yan County, and now he has come to serve under the account."

"I heard that your county lieutenant in Guangchang sneaked away a few days ago?" Sun Ming looked at Yan Ke and asked curiously.

"Back to the county lieutenant, this matter is true. Hearing that the thief was huge, he took his wife and children and ran away at night, if it weren't for that bastard, I wouldn't have waited until now to move the army. ”

When Yan Ke thought of the cowardly former county lieutenant, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and there was a feeling of unconvincing in his tone.

Sun Ming glanced at his attributes.

【Yanke】

[Force: 78 (one in a hundred)]

[Intelligence: 53 (Normal)]

[Command: 65 (Normal)]

[Politics: 46 (weak)]

[Opinion: 18 (disgust)]

"This data is okay, but it seems that this Yan Ke is a little dissatisfied with me? As soon as we met, I only had 18 good feelings. ”

This lack of 2 points of goodwill does not have much to do with Sun Ming himself, that Yan Ke is also an aspiring young man who is eager to make meritorious contributions, and he also wants to make meritorious contributions and gallop on the battlefield.

After the former county lieutenant ran away, he once asked Yan Ping to lead troops to rescue Dai County, but he was refused, and now he sees that Sun Ming is as old as him, but he is already the commander, he is naturally a little dissatisfied in his heart.

But he didn't know how much Sun Ming had done in the past two years, what he had gone through to get to the present, and how those generals were willing to submit to the youngest commander.

Yan Ke took it for granted that the difference between himself and Sun Ming was just one chance.

Sun Ming thought for a while, and couldn't guess Yan Ke's thoughts, so he had to make the business clear first, "Well, now I am the commander-in-chief, and the commander has only one military order: you must strictly obey the orders of our department, otherwise the military law will be engaged." ”

"I'll leave in two hours, and you wait and go back and do your job, don't let up." After Sun Ming finished speaking, he asked a few people to leave.

Two hours later, Sun Ming's 2,000 men and 1,000 people from the Yanke Department set off towards Dai County.

Between Guangchang and Dai County is a straight and long canyon, which is called 'Flying Fox Mouth'.

On both sides of the canyon are high mountains and mountains, which continue for thirty or forty kilometers.

After entering the canyon, the more Yu Li looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and rode to Sun Ming's side to remind him, "The owner should be careful, this kind of terrain is extremely dangerous, once we are ambushed and the enemy pinches off the head and tail, then we will all be buried here." ”

When Sun Ming heard this, he immediately called Yan Ke, a local, to inquire about the situation, and after learning about the dangerous terrain of Feihukou, he slowed down the march and sent more spies to reconnoiter with the principle of being cautious.

But Yan Ke didn't care, feeling that Sun Ming was purely superfluous, and he was a little more dissatisfied with Sun Ming in his heart.

It was supposed to be two days to arrive in Dai County, but it took half a day more because of the slowdown.

And there were a large number of thieves besieging the city, Sun Ming did not dare to get too close, so he could only stand and camp not far from the mouth of the gorge, which was about ten kilometers away from the enemy, and sent a number of spies to investigate the enemy's situation.

Later, taking advantage of the twilight, he took Guan Zhang and others and brought clerks to the high places to look at the enemy army from a distance and draw drawings.

Coupled with the report of the spies, it took less than half a day to draw a map of the enemy's situation, and in the evening Sun Ming summoned the generals to open the council in the main camp.

Yu Li, as a military advisor, summarized the situation and told everyone to listen, "According to the spies' report and the information that came out of Dai County before. ”

"The enemy commander Cheng Yuanzhi and Lu Mu have surrounded Dai County, and our frontal enemy is Lu Mu, with more than 10,000 people."

"There are eight thousand defenders in Dai County, plus a total of 12,000 of our army. To fight against these more than 40,000 people, this battle can only be outwitted, not reckless. ”

Sun Ming looked at the map, and after a while, he said, "What Desen said is reasonable, the disparity in strength is too great, so we will discuss and wait and see." ”

As soon as Yan Ke heard this, his eyes sank and his face fell, and he was immediately unhappy, "Lieutenant Sun, Daixian has been besieged for more than a month, and the city is almost out of food, and I came to the rescue, but when I came to the enemy, I retreated before fighting?" ”

Of course, Yan Ke is not a reckless man like Li Meng, but he has never led soldiers to fight, and he only said those brainless words when he joined the young momentum of the newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

After saying that, he regretted it a little, but the words had already been spoken, and he could only hold on.

However, Sun Ming was not used to him, and sneered, "Then according to your wishes, what should I do?" ”

"'The two armies are opposite, and the brave is king', the lower officer. Think.. It's better to fight a battle first than to do nothing. ”

Yan Ke replied to Sun Ming's words, everyone looked at him, and several people couldn't help laughing.

But the more he spoke, the more he couldn't continue, and then he blushed, lowered his head and shut up.

Therefore, people, once they are wrong, they must be brave enough to admit it, and holding on will only make themselves more embarrassed.

Yu Li didn't seem to care about Yan Ke, and when he saw that he had shut up, he continued, "The Warring States Guan Zhong once said, 'Eight invincibles will be victorious', money, military art, equipment, army, system, training, intelligence, and command. ”

"The war is all-round, it's not reckless to send people to death, it's not that we don't fight if there are too many of them, we can only be invincible if we find a way to lead the enemy by more than four dimensions, otherwise the commander's mistake will lead to the death of the soldiers, and it will be too late to regret it."

Although Yu Li didn't say this to Yan Ke, he said it to Yan Ke as soon as he heard it.

Then he looked at Sun Ming and said, "The owner has a plan in his heart, which can break tens of thousands of enemy troops, but it still needs to be confirmed." Tomorrow the spies will find out the news, and we will discuss it again. ”

Everyone didn't know what was going on, but Yu Li refused to reveal it first, and Sun Ming couldn't force him, so he broke up the meeting and waited for tomorrow to discuss it.
