Sandaoling Village has never been so lively.

The old grandson of Li Zheng sat in the field, and while replying to Guan Cheng's words, he looked at the peasant women and soldiers working in the fields, and smiled from ear to ear.

I didn't expect such a strange thing to happen to him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's virtuous name is very loud in several nearby vassal states, and the old grandson didn't believe it so much, even if he heard it a lot, he was a little yearning, but he didn't have the idea of leaving his hometown.

However, with the increasingly fierce war between Jin and Peng Shu over the years, as well as the delicate relationship with Liang State, the recruitment of the lord of Jin State has become more and more frequent, and the feeling of remote counties such as Baofang County is even more obvious, and many families have tablets.

Where do the soldiers care about the lives of the people.

The effect of the hundreds of soldiers was immediate, and after noon, the old women and children of the village came in groups with hot meals.

The grain piled up into a hill also makes the people of Sandaoling Village a rare luxury, the bamboo basket in which the full essence of the grain exudes an attractive aroma, and the children are running around laughing, so cheerful childish voice Sandaoling Village is afraid that it has not been heard for several years.

"Your Highness, the meal is ready, let's eat first with the old man, the people of the peasant family can't make anything that can be on the table, but the little old man ordered someone to slaughter a few pigs and stew a few chickens, and I hope Your Highness will not dislike it."

The old grandson also lost his initial restraint.

Guan Cheng naturally did not have the habit of refusing such requests, and with a wave of his hand pushed the dissuasive person away, he got up.

"Okay, that lonely will have to be happy today, and after walking for half a day, my stomach is hungry."

The soldiers also came out of the field with a smile and a smile on their faces, but the dirt and sweat stains on their faces could not hide the satisfaction on their faces.

Everyone is not so particular, they are all rough men in the army, lining up to receive the meal, plus a big spoonful of hot dishes, people who are familiar with each other sit together, talking and laughing, as if they have just finished their crops in their own fields and the man next door.

The midday sun was a little hot, and all the shade of the trees was crowded with people of threes and twos, and the women lost their shyness, and carried the barrels and asked the soldiers one by one if they had had enough to eat.

The heart-warming smile made many young men who were still young people blush.

After lunch, Guan Cheng usually had to rest for a while, but the soldiers obviously did not have this privilege, and everyone called for them to return to the fields again.

In the distance, a chariot rumbled along the official road, stirring up clouds of dust.

Wu Cheng straightened his waist and hammered the hammer, raised his arm to wipe the sweat on his face and ears, and secretly said that no matter how many times he did this work, he felt much more tired than fighting.

But then Wu Chengju noticed the galloping chariot, his face changed slightly, it was the chariot in charge of military communication, and the blood-red pennant on the chariot was blown by the wind like a plate.

"Quick, quickly go to Captain Wang and go to His Highness." Wu Chengju hurriedly threw down the hoe in his hand and turned around and ran to the ground.

When Wang Ye came in a hurry, Wu Chengju had already finished draping, and Guan Cheng's face was solemn, there was no longer a figure of Li Zheng next to him, several guards stood solemnly on the side, and some leaky rooms were full of soldiers.

"Your Highness!" Wang Ye stood outside the door of the house and saluted.

Guan Cheng nodded towards Wang Ye and motioned for him to come in.

As Wang Ye entered, the already somewhat crowded hut became even more cramped, and Wang Ye stood almost next to Wu Chengju.

Guan Cheng stood up and looked at the only two senior generals beside him and said: "I think you already know that the Jin soldiers have chased after them again, and there are as many as 1,000 Jin soldiers who came to report this time, although they are not as good as the previous 2,000 people, but it is a huge threat to our army today." ”

Guan Cheng wanted to pace back and forth a few steps, but found that he couldn't do it at all, so he got up and walked outside.

At this time, the fields have quieted down after experiencing the panic just now, and the people have already fled home, although Guan Cheng sent people to persuade them to go into the mountains to hide, but people have left their hometowns, except for a very few families, no one is willing to leave, and there are hundreds of worried hearts hidden in the quiet village.

The soldiers had already been fully equipped, and although the recruits were a little nervous, they couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved when they looked at the calm veterans beside them.

More than 900 people, five companies, this is all the military strength of Guan Cheng today.

But half of the more than 900 people had not touched a sword at all ten days ago.

Guan Cheng is worried, but he can't show it on the surface.

The Jin army that pursued again will inevitably learn the lessons of the first two times, if it is a head-on fight against this immature army in its own hands, will it be the opponent of the Jin soldiers of the division of a hundred battles?

Guan Cheng said he couldn't believe it.

Even in this case, Guan Cheng still couldn't concentrate on the battle with all his strength, so he had to send more than 100 people to escort the logistics family members of the army to the mountains to take refuge.

"Your Highness."

Wu Chengju cautiously leaned up and called.

Guan Cheng glanced at him and said, "Say." ”

Wu Chengju hesitated a little, but still said: "Your Highness, according to the scout's report, the Jin soldiers are probably only half an hour away from here, and what our army should do needs His Highness to make a quick decision." ”

Guan Cheng couldn't ease up when he tried his best to adjust, so he could only say: "I don't know, it's just that my family has only been around for a while, and I don't have much choice for them." ”

After a pause, he asked, "What are the chances of winning if we fight our army?" ”

Wu Chengju silently didn't dare to answer, but Wang Ye had the courage to say, "There is no chance of winning." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads to look over, but there was incomprehensible anger in their eyes.

Guan Cheng asked, "Is there one in Chengdu?" ”

Wang Ye replied: "Your Highness, if it is not for the ministers and others to destroy their own prestige, if they fight our army head-on, there is only one way to defeat and retreat." ”

"Although the Jin soldiers have been chasing after each other, most of them are veterans of a hundred battles, and it is difficult to fight the enemy with four hundred recruits in our army alone."

"And the Jin soldiers have no worries, they can be pressed by the whole army, and our army only has more than 900 people, which is already at a disadvantage, and we have to divide some troops to cover their families, and the way to defeat is to divide the troops when they are weak."

After hearing this, Guan Cheng knew that it was the truth, but he still felt very unhappy, and asked: "Since Qing can say it like this, he must have a response, what can he do?" ”

Wang Ye said: "The minister thinks that His Highness has already said the way to deal with it!" ”

"Huh?" Guan Cheng was puzzled.

Wu Chengju also said urgently: "Since you know it, why don't you say it, why are you selling it here." ”

Wang Ye smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness discusses with your ministers every day, and your Highness remembers that Your Highness said that if the enemy is too strong to be defeated, you should win by skill." At that time, the minister asked what a chance victory was, and His Highness said that he lured the enemy to fatigue the enemy, harassed the enemy, attacked the enemy, and defeated the enemy. ”

Guan Cheng suddenly realized, but then said: "But Lone also said, if you want to be like this, you need soldiers to fight to the death, you don't have the idea of greedy for life, and you have to have multiple ways to help, and it is difficult to succeed by a lone army." ”

Wang Ye said with a smile: "Your Highness is too worried, not to mention that the courage of the Jin army can overwhelm our army, even this strength is only twice as much as half a force, and the soldiers who come from afar are tired, why can't our army fight with ease." In addition, although there is no danger in this area, there are many wooded hills, and this village is not an ideal place? ”

Wang Ye pointed forward with his right hand and said: "Our army can completely attack and harass layer by layer, the main force is hidden in the big hut in the village, so the enemy is in the dark and I am in the dark, just killing a hundred people is enough to move the hearts of its army, isn't the victory or defeat predetermined?" ”
