Chapter 208: Wishful Thinking
It was already late at night, and the Yulin Army camp was silent. Except for the patrols and sentries who were in charge of the guard, the rest of the officers and men fell asleep.
Yan Lan, who was dressed in a strong suit and proud figure, entered the big tent with hot refreshments, and saw Zhang Lang sitting behind the bookcase frowning and thinking, not daring to disturb, tiptoeing over, and gently placing the refreshments in front of Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang smelled the aroma of refreshments, couldn't help but look up, and saw Yan Lan standing not far away looking at him, and couldn't help but smile: "When did you come?" ”
Yan Lan hurriedly said: "The subordinates have just arrived!" disturbed the fourth son, and his subordinates will retire! With that, he was leaving.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Zhang Lang hurriedly shouted.
Yan Lan stopped, clenched her fists and asked, "I don't know what the fourth prince commands?" ”
Zhang Lang stood up, bypassed the bookcase in front of him, walked to Yan Lan's side, and said with a smile: "Don't be so angry with me, we've been together for more than half a year, right?" Normally, it's casual. ”
Yan Lan glanced at Zhang Lang, her eyes were full of inexplicable brilliance, and she clenched her fists in agreement.
Zhang Lang smiled: "We don't seem to have a good talk yet, and I'm really a bit derelict in my position!" Then he asked curiously, "Is your real name really Yanlan?" ”
Yan Lan nodded, and said with a gloomy expression: "My subordinates have been in the Yuan family since I remembered, and my subordinates' parents died in the war, and it was the prime minister who saved my subordinates!" ……”
Zhang Lang looked at Yan Lan, his heart was stung, he only felt that such a beautiful woman, if she was in modern society, she would definitely be loved by thousands of people, but in this era, she has experienced countless pains!
She is pathetic, but also strong and admirable.
Zhang Lang looked at her, and couldn't help but think of the few female soldiers in the army who had crossed paths with him back then, and the women who were either enemies or friends encountered on the cruel battlefield of the special forces.
Yan Lan saw Zhang Lang staring at herself, she felt a little flustered and overwhelmed for no reason, and couldn't help but hang her head.
Hurried footsteps suddenly came from the door, and Zhang Lang couldn't help but look towards the door. I saw that Meng Hai, who was sent to investigate the situation, came back.
Meng Hai walked quickly in front of Zhang Lang, clasped his fists excitedly and said, "The situation is exactly the same as the general expected!" It's absolutely no problem to climb over that kind of terrain! ”
Zhang Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yan Lan: "Lan'er, gather everyone to come and discuss it!" ”
Yan Lan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she heard that the fourth prince actually called herself Lan'er, and then her delicate face turned red, and she hurriedly promised and ran down.
One night passed peacefully.
Early the next morning, Yang Yi, accompanied by everyone, climbed to the top of the city and looked at Zhang Lang's military camp outside the city. I saw that the barracks were very quiet, and there was no movement.
I couldn't help but look at the already bright sky, and couldn't help muttering: "If you want to attack the city, it should start now!?" ”
Zhao Xiong said with a smile: "Yesterday, the enemy army attacked the city and lost hundreds of people, but they didn't even touch the wall, so they must not dare to attack the city!" ”
Yang Yi smiled, and the little worry that still existed in his heart completely disappeared at this moment. I only feel that my side is defending the fortified city, and I am not afraid of any opponent at all.
He is not afraid that the other party will attack now, but he is worried that the other party will not attack the city, so that he has no chance to turn defeat into victory and seize Taiyuan.
suppressed these thoughts in his heart, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said to Yang Xiong and the others: "Although our army has a strong city to rely on, we must not be negligent!" We must beware of a sneak attack by the enemy, and all armies must be on strict alert! ”
Yang Xiong and others hugged their fists and promised.
Yang Yi stayed on the city wall for more than an hour, and the sun had risen very high, but the Yulin army outside the city still didn't make any moves.
Yang Yi smiled slightly and muttered, "At this moment, they should be arguing over whether to continue attacking or retreating, right?" ”
At this moment, Cao Chuan came quickly, led a guy who looked like a Hun behind him, and hugged his fists at Yang Yi and said, "Lord Qiqi, King Youxian has sent a messenger." ”
Yang Yi frowned and looked at the Huns.
The Xiongnu envoy immediately stepped forward and performed a steppe man's unique etiquette towards Yang Yi, saying, "I've seen Lord Yang!" ”
Yang Yi snorted and said angrily: "The Right Virtuous King really disappointed me!" I originally thought that the Hun cavalry was invincible, but I didn't expect to suffer such a crushing defeat in Taiyuan!
If it weren't for the heroic fighting of our army to resist Yuan Mai's offensive, I am afraid that the situation at this moment would be unimaginable! ”
The Xiongnu envoy felt a little embarrassed, and then said to Yang Yi: "Our king should have returned to Shan Yuting in the Hetao region at this moment.
What the king means is that Yuan Mai is our common enemy, and we must join forces to destroy him, otherwise, whether it is us or adults, I am afraid that we will all end up miserable! ……”
When Yang Yi heard this, he immediately asked, "King Youxian still wants to send troops?" ”
The Hun envoy nodded.
Yang Xiong, who was standing beside Yang Yi, said angrily: "King Youxian has already lost 50,000 elites, does he still have the strength to send troops?" ”
The Xiongnu envoy said: "Our king naturally still has strength, plus the strength of the other Xiongnu princes, we can gather fifty or sixty thousand war cavalry in a short time!"
As long as you can hold on to Yanmen and hold back the Yulin Army, when our cavalry arrives, it will be their end!
The defeat of our army was entirely due to their trap, and if we fought a decisive battle in the wilderness, they would be the opponents of our steppe athletes! ”
At the end, the Hun envoy looked very excited. Obviously, the previous fiasco in Bluestone Valley made him unable to let go.
Yang Yi looked thoughtful and nodded, "Very good!" The right virtuous king has this courage, but he is not worthy of the name of the hero! You go back and tell King Youxian that Yanmen will never be lost, and ask him to lead the army to deal with Yuan Mai with me as soon as possible!" ”
The Xiongnu envoy said happily: "Your Excellency is determined to defend Yanmen, it is really no better." Our king said that if this battle is won, the previous agreement will remain the same, and we will abide by the agreement! ”
Yang Yi said with a smile; "It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
The Hun envoy said: "If you have no other orders, I will rush back to resume my life." ”
Yang Yi said to Cao Chuan: "Send a messenger for me." ”
Cao Chuan promised and led the Hun envoy away.
Zhao Xiong saw that the Hun envoy had left, and couldn't help but say angrily: "The Huns want to pick up the peaches on the ground, it's really unreasonable!" They clearly want to take advantage of us! ”
Yang Yi sneered: "Who uses whom, it's not certain!" How could Yuan Mai be so easy to deal with? When the Huns arrive and fight with Yuan Mai, we will attack again to clean up the mess! ”
Zhao Xiong was stunned, understood, and couldn't help but exclaim: "What a clever plan for adults!" ”
