During this time, King Jin was very low-key, and in addition to reading books every day, he listened to music. Ignoring the political affairs of Pingzhou.

However, Xiao Jingxuan is still more knowledgeable, and he will go to say hello every morning, and then report the previous day's affairs.

King Jin also said more modestly that this time the supervising army was just for show, so that Xiao Jingxuan didn't have to ask for instructions on everything.

Winter turned to spring, and as time passed, Xiao Jingxuan also began to send scouts to reconnoiter the border of Yan State.

This time, Xiao Jingxuan's strategy is that the enemy will not move, and I will not move. Late strike.

As long as Yan Guo did not move, Xiao Jingxuan devoted his energy to training soldiers.

However, the hope is beautiful, and the reality is cruel. With the news of the Great Wei's attack on Chu from the south, the Yan State moved.

With the scout's report, Xiao Jingxuan also waited for the news of Yan Guo's dispatch.

This time, in the name of suppressing bandits, Yan sent 100,000 troops to Yingzhou.

This time, the commander of Yan is Liang Tong, the king of Yan. This King Jing is not an ordinary person, he has led his subordinates to fight with the barbarians several times, winning more and losing less.

Moreover, this King Jing is also the second prince of Emperor Yan and a strong contender for the throne.

However, this time, King Jing of Yan led the army and did not rashly launch an attack. Just stationed in the camp state.

It is not only Pingzhou that borders Yan, but Jizhou, which borders Pingzhou, also borders Yan.

In the handsome tent, Xiao Jingxuan sat on the main seat, and King Jin sat on the left side of the handsome seat.

Xiao Jingxuan frowned and looked at the map, it is not easy to do it now, the confrontation between the two sides seems to be beneficial to him on the surface, but spring ploughing has begun.

If it affects spring ploughing, then tens of thousands of troops need to be raised by the imperial court.

Hehe, it's unrealistic, look at the map, Yingzhou, yes, it's Yingzhou, you have to take Yingzhou.

However, this bone in Yingzhou is not easy to gnaw. The area of Yingzhou is not small, under the jurisdiction of Weizhou, Shunzhou, Shenzhou. The population is also quite small. It is the more prosperous county capital of Yan Kingdom.

However, Yingzhou not only borders the Wei State, but also borders the barbarians, and is a land of four wars.

Looking at the map, Xiao Jingxuan said to the generals: "Now, the Yan State has hoarded 100,000 troops in Yingzhou, threatening Jizhou and Pingzhou at any time, and containing a large number of our troops.

Now, spring ploughing is approaching, if spring ploughing is affected, the grain and grass of these hundreds of thousands of troops can make me wait for death without a place to bury.

I want to take the initiative, I don't know if you have any opinions? ”

Before the generals could speak, King Jin spoke.

"Our army is newly built, and the grain and grass allocated by the imperial court may not be enough to support the expedition of the army, if the troops are divided, I am afraid that it will not be the opponent of the hundreds of thousands of Yan troops in Yingzhou."

Xiao Jingxuan frowned slightly, it seems that King Jin is going to make trouble.

"We have no other principles, I will, I and the prince of Jin will lead the cavalry to attack, Pingzhou will be garrisoned by Lei Ben, and Jizhou will be supported by Xu Ce with 20,000 infantry troops."

The generals in the audience knelt on the ground and said, "Obey the orders of the commander." ”

Seeing this situation, King Jin was immediately displeased, but now that the general trend has been achieved, King Jin can't refute it.

"Well, this king is not good at bowing horses, so he won't hold back, this king is in this Pingzhou City, waiting for the triumph of the army."

"Since you all have no opinions, then go down and prepare, Ye Xiong, send all the ranger scouts under your command to me, and the army will set off tomorrow."

The generals bowed and then exited the chamber. After everyone left, Xiao Jingxuan bowed respectfully to King Jin.

"Your Highness, Pingzhou will be entrusted to Your Highness."

"General Xiao, please rest assured, everything has me. However, this king has no soldiers in his hands, so he can only wave the flag and shout for General Xiao in Pingzhou. ”

This is a naked desire for military power.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will instruct General Lei, and everything will be at your Royal Highness's command."

After greeting the King of Jin, Xiao Jingxuan called Lei Ben and Niu Gai, Tang Wanyi and others who stayed in Pingzhou and secretly gave orders.

Early the next morning, Xiao Jingxuan took Ye Xiong, Yang Xiong, Gongsun Sheng and other cavalry generals to the battle.

This time, Xiao Jingxuan's target was Weizhou, the only city under Yingzhou's jurisdiction that did not have foreign enemies.

Xiao Jingxuan first sent 100 guards to infiltrate Weizhou first, and at the same time, asked Ye Xiong to send his elite to infiltrate Shunzhou in disguise. Just in case.

Xiao Jingxuan's current cavalry is not elite, it can only be regarded as a group of farmers who can ride horses, although they have been trained for half a year, but after all, they have not been on the battlefield.

Therefore, this time Xiao Jingxuan plans to be more stable. Hins Siu's plan was very simple.

First, use the personal guards to seize the city gate of Weizhou, and then the army will attack it and control Weizhou, and then see if Yingzhou will send troops.

If Yingzhou comes to attack, then there will be an ambush. If he didn't come, Xiao Jingxuan would take advantage of the situation to take Shunzhou.

Of course, this is just Hins Hsiao's initial thoughts. There are not many defenders in Weizhou, only 2,000 old and weak, but Shunzhou is different, and 20,000 troops can be stationed in the city of Shunzhou.

Halfway through the march, Xiao Jingxuan suddenly stopped. Xiao Jingxuan thought that it would be useless to capture Weizhou like this.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingxuan immediately changed his strategy. Immediately someone called Gongsun Sheng.

After Gongsun Sheng arrived, Xiao Jingxuan immediately issued a new order.

"Gongsun Sheng, I order you to take the headquarters and the 20,000 cavalry of the whirlwind battalion Huyanzhuo to capture Weizhou. Remember, be careful so that the enemy can send someone for help. ”

Gongsun Sheng is also an old man in the guard camp, and as soon as he heard Xiao Jingxuan's order, he knew what his boss had in mind.

So he immediately took the command and departed.

When Gongsun Sheng divided his troops and left, Xiao Jingxuan also ordered that the army rest on the spot.

Holding the map, Xiao Jingxuan, Ye Xiong, Yang Xiong, Huangfu Song, and Zhou Tong began to study the map.

"Weizhou was attacked, the nearest is Shunzhou, followed by Yingzhou. However, according to the distance, it is unlikely that Yingzhou will come to help, and the biggest possibility is that Shunzhou will come to help, and Yingzhou will support Shunzhou. ”

After hearing Xiao Jingxuan's analysis, several people nodded, feeling that Dashuai's analysis was still quite reasonable.

So Xiao Jingxuan ordered: "Zhou Tong, you and Huangfu Song will find a place to set up an ambush in the middle of Shunzhou and Weizhou, and I will lead the remaining soldiers and horses to make a detour and rush to the middle of Yingzhou and Shunzhou to set up an ambush. This time, let's come to the encirclement point to help.

Not to mention, Xiao Jingxuan's idea is still good. First of all, there are only 3,000 old and weak people in Weizhou, and with Gongsun Sheng's 20,000 troops, it is not a problem to take it, not to mention Xiao Jingxuan's 100 personal guards as ambush soldiers.

Then, there were only 20,000 troops in Shunzhou, even if all of them came over, Xiao Jingxuan didn't believe it, and the ambush would suffer.

In the end, Xiao Jingxuan's way, Ye Xiong's 5,000 elite horses are the trump card in Xiao Jingxuan's hands, plus the 10,000 new horses in Yang Xiong's hands, he can still achieve some results.

After discussing with everyone, Xiao Jingxuan began to drive towards Yingzhou with more than 15,000 cavalry.

Because it was a detour, and it was also necessary to observe the terrain without knowing the traps, Xiao Jingxuan led the army to march for five days before arriving at the ambush site.

Looking at the surrounding terrain, Xiao Jingxuan was still quite satisfied, this place was still almost two hundred miles away from Yingzhou. It is also about a hundred miles away from Shunzhou.

In addition, there are dense mountains and forests on both sides of the road, which is very suitable for ambushes. The most important thing is that this is the only way from Yingzhou to Shunzhou.

Xiao Jingxuan ordered Ye Xiong to lead his troops and horses around the rear of the mountain forest to hide.

Yang Xiong's department was divided into two parts, one with 5,000 people, and went around to the other side to hide.

The remaining 5,000 men, also cavalry-turned-infantry, hid in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road.

In order to facilitate the command, Yang Xiong was responsible for ambushing in the mountains and forests, and Xiao Jingxuan also wore 5,000 cavalry and personal guards to hide behind the mountains and forests.

In order to conceal it, Xiao Jingxuan ordered that all the people in the army should not make fires, and at the same time, all the horses should put on their mouths. so as not to be exposed.

In order to succeed in the ambush, Xiao Jingxuan and Ye Xiong both took their armies and stayed about twenty miles away from the main road.

At the same time, scouts were set up on the road away from the ambush site. Nowadays, it can be said that everything is in place, and only the east wind is owed.

Not knowing when the enemy army would arrive, the army could only wait anxiously.

In anxious waiting, Xiao Jingxuan led the army to wait for two days. Just when Xiao Jingxuan lost his patience, he finally waited for the scout's return.

After listening to the scout's report, Xiao Jingxuan hesitated a little. This time, Yan Jun's reinforcements are a bit much.

First of all, there were 20,000 infantry, and 5,000 cavalry followed.

You must know that the Yan army is still relatively elite because it has been fighting with barbarians all year round.

There are only more than 15,000 people in his hands, and there are 10,000 recruits among them, so I don't know if I can do it.

Maybe it's luck, maybe it's the enemy who underestimates the enemy. When the Yan army arrived at the ambush site, Shen Shi was almost over, and the sky was a little dark.

Xiao Jingxuan felt that this was a godsend. So he hurriedly ordered the army to attack.

At this time, in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road, Yang Xiong looked at the Yan army passing by, and his heart was in his throat. I don't know if I should attack or not.

When a scout reported that he had seen the signal of the attack, Yang Xiong immediately became excited. This is also a war maniac.

Yang Xiong hurriedly ordered to go down, and the archers first stared at the opposing cavalry to shoot a shot, and then dealt with the infantry.

As Yang Xiong shot the arrows in his hand, the Wei troops under his command also shot the arrows in their hands.

For a while, thousands of arrows were fired at once, only to hear that the Yan army was hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

For a moment, the Yan army panicked, and the noise of an enemy attack sounded in the ranks. Most of the soldiers began to look for cover. The shieldbearers began to raise their shields one after another, blocking their bows and arrows for themselves and their comrades.

Because it was late and the enemy situation was unknown, the army was suddenly attacked, and General Yan planned to break through, so he ordered the army to rush forward directly regardless of both sides.

However, soon, Yan Jiang regretted it. First of all, the sound of horses' hooves sounded directly in front of the main road. At this time, you don't have to think about it, you also know that it is the enemy who is coming.
