"General, in the direction of Yanzhou, Wei Qianfeng sent a good news."

Fang Jue was surprised: "So fast? ”

Since the division of troops, it has only been three days, and Wei Ran's troops should not have arrived in Yanzhou.

Where's the good news?

Taking a look at the battle report, Fang Jue was even more puzzled: "What's the matter, they actually met the whole army of the main battalion of Yanzhou in the middle of the road?" ”

The battle report said that Wei Ran's troops were hundreds of miles outside the main city of Dian Zhou and met the camp of Dian Zhou.

In one fell swoop, he won a complete victory, destroying the enemy and beheading more than 5,000 people.

It's still the same, and I don't plan to keep many prisoners.

The main generals of the border army are like this, they can't be said to be cruel, and they can't afford to raise them and can't let them go, so they have to kill them.

The 9,000 cavalry against the more than 6,000 routs was completely crushing, and the Dian Zhou Department was completely annihilated except for the necessary living mouths and the hundreds of people who fled.

"General, on the back page of the war report, there is news from Yanzhou." The sergeant who delivered the message said.

Fang Jue uncovered the battle report, and sure enough, there was the following, which was the result of Wei Ran and the others interrogating the prisoners.

"General, what did Wei Qianfeng say?" Hearing the good news, the adjutant generals of the battalions who stayed by Fang Jue's side all surrounded him.

After reading it, Fang Jue handed the letter to everyone to circulate.

"Wei Qianfeng is really a thunderous method, and he can break the enemy army so quickly."

"Huh?"

"No, why didn't you take the city of Yanzhou?"

"What, the state has changed hands?"

After reading everything, all the generals were surprised.

Fang Jue said: "That's it, before Wei Ran and them arrived, Yanzhou had already changed hands, and these Beiliang soldiers from the Danzhou battalion fled south, intending to come to Hanzhou and Rinzhou to seek refuge. ”

"They didn't expect that Hanzhou and Rinzhou were already ours, haha." Fan Ji laughed, very complacent.

Even if they didn't encounter Wei Ran's troops halfway, these Northern Liang troops would be defeated in the two states of Hanrin.

Everyone sighed: "Wei Ran, they are really lucky...... Picked up a bargain. ”

"But what about Yanzhou?"

Wei Feng said: "General, Yanzhou has been conquered, do we want to fight for it?" ”

"This is also what Wei Ranbu inquires, whether it is necessary to compete with Xichu."

Yanzhou has been taken by Western Chu.

Before, Fang Jue and the others estimated that Xichu would not be so fast, in fact, it was not so fast.

It's just that no one thought that Western Chu had bribed several generals of the Southwest Border Army of Northern Liang, making it extremely easy for Western Chu to march this time.

So much so that without much effort, the troops approached the city of Yanzhou, and the owner of the camp of Yanzhou was killed, so that the whole battalion was leaderless and fled in defeat.

Then he was unlucky enough to hit Wei Ran's department and was annihilated.

"Xichu really likes to pick up cheap, Yue Pingchuan's matter is like this, and now he has picked up such a big bargain in Beiliang." Dong Gui said.

"It's a pity that we're a step late......"

"General, I mean, let Wei Ran withdraw, it is not appropriate to start a war with Western Chu." Wei Feng said.

Great Xia and Western Chu are also bordered, and the west of Qinzhou and Chuzhou is the land of Western Chu.

If it is in the territory of Beiliang, facing the men and horses of Western Chu, no matter who strikes first, it is tantamount to a declaration of war.

Whether the country is ready or not, or two words, this handle cannot be given to others.

"You are right, even if there is to be a war, His Majesty should issue a letter of rebellion and send troops in the midst of the condemnation...... If we make any claims, it will affect Your Majesty's national policy. ”

Fang Jue sighed: "Let Wei Ran come back, divide the troops and garrison Hanzhou, and the Yulin Army will come back to cover most of our army." ”

"Is the general afraid of the Western Chu Army and will attack Hanzhou?" Cheng Jie said.

"Let Wei Ran send someone to inform the Western Chu army in Yanzhou that the three states of frost, cold, and cold have been recovered by my Great Xia, and tell them not to approach, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war."

Fang Jue prepares, salute first and then soldier.

"General, are you the one who wants to take the bait?" Wei Feng smiled, instantly understanding.

When the chief secretary of the army heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, and naturally understood the deep meaning.

But he didn't add any fuel to it, and recorded several military orders without embellishment.

Fang Jue glanced at the military book and nodded in satisfaction.

……

The messenger hurried up, and Wei Ran's troops received the military order that night.

"What, withdraw troops?" Sun Yi was immediately unwilling, "Just go back like this?" ”

"Xichu has already occupied Yanzhou, we can't take the initiative to attack, and the division is unknown." Lin Bei is the most keen, and he knows the reason.

The military order is only a few sentences, and it will not be too detailed, because it is necessary to buy time, and the superior cannot explain everything.

"But ......"

"Hey, the general isn't trying to back down, I see." Lin Bei suddenly smiled, because he had finished reading the military orders behind.

said that Wei Ran would send someone to inform the soldiers and horses of the Western Chu Prefecture that the three states of frost and cold were owned by Great Xia and were not allowed to set foot in them.

"Huh?" Sun Yi took a look.

Wei Ran also nodded: "I understand, the general is to salute first and then the soldiers, if the Western Chu army is a little disrespectful, it can also go against the tide." ”

"Huh?" Sun Yi was stunned, scratched his head and said, "Why didn't I see what this meant?" ”

Lin Bei and Wei Ran glanced at each other, and they both saw that they were speechless about Sun Yi.

"Then let's not retreat?" Sun Yi looked at the two.

Wei Ran smiled: "Military orders must not be violated......"

Hearing that he still had to go, Sun Yi rolled his eyes.

"However, the general didn't say that we had to leave immediately, we just experienced a big battle, and our army is in danger, so we should camp on the spot and repair...... You say yes, right? Wei Ran looked at Zheng Jun.

Here, Zheng Jun is the confidant of the general, and his opinion is sometimes important.

In particular, this kind of matter may misunderstand military orders and complain after the fact, so it is necessary to speak in a unified voice.

When Zheng Jun heard this, he said with a smile: "That's natural, what we encountered was a whole camp in Yanzhou, although we won a big victory, but the brothers were not lightly injured, and they were not suitable for long-distance running, so they had to recuperate on the spot for a few days." ”

"Hahaha, General Zheng is really young and promising, I think you will at least be a chief general in the future." Lin Bei patted Zheng Jun on the shoulder.

An atmosphere called joviality suddenly spread.

Sun Yi finally got his senses, and immediately said speechlessly: "That's what the general means? Can't he just say it? ”

Is the military in danger?

We were mixed with 8,000 horsemen against 6,000, and we were ambushed and routed.

We only hurt more than 100 people.

And there are few serious injuries, so do you need to recuperate for so long? That's a good excuse.

"Brother Sun, if you don't have anyone in the capital, you won't be able to ascend to the rank of general." Lin Bei said with a smile.

Zheng Jun could finally interject and said with a smile: "The general can't say it directly, the main book of the army will record the military orders, and he bluntly said that he would be impeached by the imperial history, saying that he deliberately provoked a big war with Western Chu for the sake of military merits." ”

"Oh, that's right." Sun Yi was convinced.

He has not been in contact with people in the capital for many years, and he is in charge of Lizhou alone, so naturally he doesn't need to use much, and there are twists and turns in this regard.

"Then let's camp here, and then send someone to inform the Western Chu army in Yanzhou, so that they can offend our army with evil intentions, and we will have a reason to send troops!" Sun Yi nodded.

Seeing that he understood it like this, Lin Bei patted Sun Yi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Sun, I was wrong just now, if you continue like this, you will not be able to protect your position as the commander of the Lizhou battalion." ”

Wei Ran and Zheng Jun also couldn't help laughing.

"Huh?" Sun Yi was stunned, "Isn't that how you understand it?" ”

Zheng Jun sighed with emotion, thinking to himself how this brain became the chief general of Lizhou.

Wei Ran didn't care, and directly ridiculed: "Brother Sun, is your position as the commander of the Lizhou camp the position that His Royal Highness King Ning sought for you back then?" ”

"yes?" Sun Yi did not hide it, because this matter was found, "But I have long stopped dealing with King Ning, after he has a relationship with King Wei, I am afraid that I will be implicated in the seizure of the heir and be feared." ”

In terms of self-protection, Sun Yi's brain is still relatively sufficient, and the three of them nodded slowly to indicate that there is still salvation.

"Huh, wait?"

Sun Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at the three of them: "Do you think that I don't have the ability to sit in this position?" ”

"No, what we mean is, Brother Sun, you are such a person who has no city government, it is really rare to be able to sit in this position." Lin Bei said with a smile, but still teased.

Sun Yi rolled his eyes, knowing that he was being taken for an idiot.

"What the hell does the general mean?" Sun Yi had no choice but to ask.

Wei Ran waved his hand: "Brother Lin, don't make fun of Brother Sun, little brother Zheng, can you tell me?" ”

Zheng Jun gave up, he couldn't integrate in before, but now he can, because he will rely on the strength of the firearms battalion next.

This is the reality, but Zheng Jun is not resentful, useless people will not be respected, this is the rule in the army.
