His real name is Qi (qi second tone) Wu (wu second tone) Hulu Gu, if he is a bachelor in the land of secluded Ji, he will immediately judge that this is a Hun man, but in addition to the Luo Huan leg left by fighting on horses for many years, his appearance, manners, and language are completely no different from the Han people. It is better to say that it is precisely because he is a Hun that he is extremely cautious and shrewd.

As the leader of this team of Hun scouts, Hulugu was unwilling to take a look at Qiancheng City from afar and go back to pay for it, he had to go into the city to take a closer look.

Is the city being repaired?

How's the repair?

How high is the city, how thick are the walls, how wide are the moats, and how deep are the moats?

What kind of siege equipment can such a city wall withstand?

How many soldiers and horses are there? Who will rule?

Can you draw a map of the fortifications in the city?

These problems are difficult to solve in one day, and Fox Lugu does not show the slightest anxious look.

He and a few other veterans chose a guest house to stay in, which looked very cold, ate broth and wheat cakes, slept in a hay shop, and heated the charcoal basin with the worst charcoal slag, but it was indeed the cheapest inn in the city, but these men who could eat anything bitter at first glance did not complain at all, but ate very sweetly.

Such guests are always likable, tolerant, tolerant, and pay first.

After eating, they were not busy going back to rest, but stayed in the lobby to chat. For an ordinary inn winery, this was originally a bit annoying, after all, it occupied a table, but this inn was originally a little cold, and it seemed to have a bit of popularity in the lobby to keep them.

So the owner of the inn chatted with them.

"I see that the outside of this city is so neatly repaired," Fox Lugu said with a smile, "There must be a lot of soldiers in the city, why is the guest house so deserted?" ”

"If there are soldiers in the theater city, how can they come here?" The boss complained bitterly, "If you want me to say, your sheep should be sent to the drama city, I have a brother, his son-in-law's family is in the drama city, I heard that there are more than 10,000 people there, and the city is so crowded that it can't live!" Think about it, more than 10,000 mouths! You dozens of sheep, what are you! ”

"More than 10,000 people," Fox Lugu narrowed her eyes, "Is Beihai also like this?" ”

"Who are the people of Beihai! I heard that they all came from Xuzhou! There are all accents, Jizhou, Xuzhou, I heard that there are also our Qingzhou," the boss pouted, "Our envoy has great powers, please move so many people to help him, I think it is even more magnificent than Tian Qingzhou!" ”

Hulugu listened carefully, only occasionally responded, threw a question out, and never busily interjected.

Seeing that the boss had said almost, he asked again, "There are so many people, why don't they divide some to guard our city?" ”

This slightly deliberate affectionate sentence "our city" listened to the ears of the host of the inn, and he didn't feel wrong at all, but felt that the question was very right.

"I'll tell you," the boss said indignantly, "It's just pretending to confuse Yuan Tan Xiao'er!" There are only 300 soldiers here, which is enough for anything! Don't even want guest houses, the county government can fill it up by itself! How can a poor person like us have that good life—"

Fox Deer Gu listened to all the news he wanted to hear, and finally threw out a new question.

"Where is the granary of a thousand times?"

He paused for a moment, then naturally smiled and added, "When I was in the plains, I bought grain from the official warehouse, naturally, naturally, the grain official dared to sell military rations, and he would not look at us as a leader, but I only bought a few dozen stones of grain and grass, as long as there is a small official, it is enough." ”

The streets were dusty, and from time to time soldiers ran by.

Therefore, those shops need to double the sprinkling of water on the ground, suppress the dust, and be more careful when there are pedestrians walking by.

Fox Lugu walked very carefully, he dodged a few mercenaries who were very reckless when sprinkling water, and avoided a group of patrolling soldiers, and finally according to the instructions of the innkeeper, he came to the official warehouse of Qiancheng Tunliang.

There are soldiers guarding here, so idlers and others are not allowed to enter.

The Hun scout had two pieces of gold cake in his arms, which he intended to bribe the servant to take him in, but after a round outside, he dispelled the idea.

There were only five grain cellars, a far cry from the size of the bar, and a glance at the old roof of the cellar made him immediately tell that it had not been repaired at all—that is, it was not prepared for garrison.

No matter how strong a city is, if there are not enough soldiers to defend it, it will not be much different from a layer of window paper.

Despite this, Fox Deer Gu is a cautious person, and he has to make a final assessment of whether this city can pose a big threat to his lord.

You Heng could never have imagined that there was a group of Hun scouts under Yuan Tan's command in this city, who were measuring the land inch by inch, noting down the size, orientation, and purpose of the houses one by one, and carefully drawing the deployment of the city. If he knew, he would have tried to do better.

But in fact...... He didn't know how to behave better.

Today, two more men accidentally fell into the trench while digging a trench, and broke their legs, and they need to see a doctor, pay off their wages, and need to be given a little grain and rice as a pension. In order to prevent the money from being deducted by the little official, which has happened more than once, You Heng had to keep an eye on the little official to get the money, and watch the little official put the grain and rice and the string of five baht coins into the hands of the people.

After that, he will carry an awl to check the repair of the city wall, and the people will also fool him with all kinds of mud, and it depends on whether the overseer's whip will or not, and he can of course replace the overseer and put a new batch of them, but there are only those who are literate and literate, and he will do whatever he wants.

The city has four walls, so it is necessary to repair four walls, and it is also necessary to dig four ditches, each ditch can consume a lot of energy of You Heng, plus the expenditure of money and food, the accounts need to be recorded clearly, otherwise in the hands of Tian Yu, he will bring humiliation on himself, so You Heng has not slept much since he came to Qiancheng. The only thing that didn't need to be bothered was the 300 soldiers, the little leader was said to have been Zhang Fei's subordinate in the past, and was later given to General Lu, and the punishment was very harsh, and he could always manage the soldiers in a proper manner, so as not to do evil.

Under the premise of being so busy, how could he have the heart to think about it again, is there some unknown person in the city?

Although the man was standing under a tree not far from him, chatting with a servant.

When You Heng walked over, the little official immediately put away the face that had just been chatting with interest, and respectfully bowed to him.

"You do."

The sallow-faced, torn fur-jacket man's eyes widened in horror, and then he bowed cautiously as well.

"Who are you? Where did it come from? You Heng looked him up and down and asked very kindly.

"The villain is a plain man who took his family south to avoid chaos." The man's speech speed was not very smooth, with a hint of nervousness when facing the nobleman, "Villain, villain wants to buy some food." ”

"How can there be any grain to sell to you here, what a fool," You Heng said with a smile, "Besides, we don't have much grain here, you look at the grandeur of this granary, where can it be full?" ”

"Oh, oh, it's the villain who is stupid, the villain who is stupid," the sheep dealer smiled flatteringly, "and the villain saw that the city wall had been built here, and he thought that he could stay......"

You Heng was very rebellious towards the world-famous Wenhou Lu Bu, but when he saw this poor man, he was very patient, "It's okay if you rest here for a few days, but don't stay for a long time, while it's still stable, go out of the city to the southeast and go to the drama city." ”

"Drama, drama city!" The sheep dealer followed and repeated, "The villain sold dozens of sheep on the road, and this way is very ...... Very ......"

"It's okay," You Heng comforted, "There will always be caravans out of the city these days, and I will call a small official to take care of you." ”

The young man's face was so gentle and so innocent that Fox Deer Gu wanted to trick him into writing a handwritten letter so that it would be easier for him to enter the drama city, preferably with the baggage convoy of Beihai soldiers and horses, but the sound of horses' hooves stopped the conversation.

The knight hurried over with the open board in his hand, "There is a hurry! ”

The young man's pupils contracted for a moment.

But Fox Lugu waited for a while before pretending to be surprised.

Yuan Tan's front army had already been drawn, which was nothing new to him, after all, he had gone faster and farther than the front army.

A bright moon hid behind the dark clouds, and the hazy spring moon night became bleak.

The door was closed tightly, and it was already very quiet outside, and there was not the slightest sound in the room.

It's dark, it's quiet, and you can't see your fingers.

The owner of this room leaned against the table, and kept this posture for a long time, without moving.

Her eyes shone faintly in the night, and the invisible light fell on the sand table in front of her.

There are few undulations on this sand table, five feet long and five feet wide, and apart from a few rivers and two lonely cities, there are only plains.

Plains, plains, and plains.

[I have two thousand elite soldiers, and they have followed me from the plains to Xuzhou, from Guangling to Beihai," she said, "I can trust them. 】

[Not bad.] 】

[I still have 2,000 recruits, who were recruited for me by Taishi Ziyi, with a little practice, I can bluff people, but I can't fight for a long time. 】

[Not bad.] 】

"I still have five hundred cavalry," she said, "This is not easy. 】

[......] The Black Blade didn't say a word, nor did it pierce, so she pretended not to notice the Black Blade's silence.

Her five hundred cavalry needed to be divided into three parts, one for scouts and messengers, one for her personal companions, and the rest for the cavalry that was actually used for battle, no more than three hundred.

[There are still 3,000 soldiers in Beihai, there is no doubt about it. She finally summed up her strength, [This calculation, there are more than 10,000 on my side. 】

[What about Yuan Tan? 】

[Yuan Tan's army is called 30,000, which is impossible,] she said with certainty, [He probably has a strength of 15,000, of which thousands of Jizhou soldiers, thousands of Qingzhou soldiers, and 5,000 are Xiongnu soldiers sent to him by Yuan Shaoxin, and the remaining more than 10,000 people are just requisitioned people. 】

[It doesn't sound like you're much different. When Blackblade said this, she felt a little harsh, so she ignored it again.

[I need to find a good time for a decisive battle to defeat Yuan Tan outside the city. She said this as she set her eyes on the sand table, [I still need to figure out where Yuan Tan's grain and grass are...... Where is it most likely? Plain? 】

After hearing this, Black Blade asked, "Didn't you say that this is the plain? 】

She was stunned for a moment.

Pingyuan City is four hundred and fifty miles away from the drama city, which is actually not very far.

But there was another city that was closer than the Plains.

It is only 300 miles away from Beihai, and it is still a port town, and the grain of Jizhou can go south smoothly, and there is no steep terrain to stop it all the way from Yanci to Beihai.

She sat up from the table and stared at the sand table, feeling like a chess player.

She needs to be cautious, but she has to make a decision.

Since Yuan Tan came for the winter wheat," she said, "Why can't I go and rob his grain and grass?" 】

"I think of course you can. Blackblade scoffed.

There was a long silence in the room and in the mind.

[When you are alone in the face of the enemy, you are neither timid nor evasive," the Black Blade asked, "Why are you avoiding and cowardly now?" 】

She was silent for a long time.

[When Yuan Tan attacked Tian Kai,] she said, [He didn't have many cavalry, why did he attack the city? But how could I have guessed that Yuan Shao would give him 5,000 Hun soldiers? 】

In a literal sense, "Hun soldiers" is just explaining the origin of these soldiers, but when you hear this word, you must think about one more question: how many of these Hun soldiers are cavalry?

Qingzhou is a big plain! The Great Plains where the cavalry can be allowed to run freely!

Of course, if she defended the drama city and fought in the cage city, she was sure to consume Yuan Tan, the drama city was repaired by her high and thick, and it was an extremely strong line of defense.

But didn't this become Cao Cao's second battle against Xuzhou? Yuan Tan can't beat the drama city, can't he still burn and loot the whole territory of Beihai? Can't you do slaughter like mowing grass? Yuan Tan can not be a person, what about her? Is she also ready to be a human being and leave the people outside for him to slaughter?

Such thoughts beat her again and again in her heart, and she sighed.

"It's not a chessboard," she sighed, "I can't see where Yuan Tan's army is—I mean, I can't see where his thousands of Hun cavalry are. 】

If she was Yuan Tan and had thousands of Hun cavalry in her hands, she wouldn't need to wait until summer for her to burn the entire territory of Beihai!

Lu Hanyu closed his eyes.

This is not a question that can be discussed with Tian Yu and Tai Shici.

Because the map is so big, the plain is less than 600 miles to the theater city, and the light cavalry is 300 miles a day and a night, people want you to see it, they will let you see it, otherwise you want to find them out, why do you find out, do you have a radar?

[How does it feel about war?] Black Blade said, "Or to put it another way, how does it feel to want to be in control?" 】

【…… It's painful. She said, "But that's war. 】

The land hanging fish did not rest for long, and the sky was dawn.
