Since Li Wanjiang could not openly transfer Qin Gang, he used a tactic to draw out the firepower. He used the excuse that the war in other places was tense and transferred troops from Yanyunguan several times.
Originally there were 100,000 troops in Yanyunguan, but he had deployed half of them in the past year, but he did not dare to draw any more, because it would not work if Yanyunguan was too empty.
The direct consequence of Li Wanjiang's move was that when Yanyun County was invaded, Qin Gang was unable to send troops to rescue...
Sending Xiao Chen here was actually just to make up for his own mistakes, and it was just a show.
Or in his mind, Yanyun County has been temporarily given up.
"General Xue, my brother is going to Yanyun. Although his life and death are unknown, if the food and supplies are insufficient, he will definitely die. In the future, my brother's logistics supplies will pass by the treasure land, so please take care of me, General Xue." This is what Xiao Chen wants to follow. What Xue Jinshan said is serious.
"Don't worry about Mr. Xiao, brother will never do something like that. Although we are strangers, I have always admired Mr. Xiao's literary talents. If Mr. Xiao thinks highly of him, he is willing to be your friend." Xue Jinshan said.
"Haha, what kind of literary talent? It's just a small skill, just for fun, and it's an empty name. It's really shameful! Those who guard the border and protect the country like General Xue are the pillars of talent. Brother, I admire you very much. ." Xiao Chen said.
"I still have quite a bit of food stored here. I don't dare to give you more. But if it is for emergency use, I can guarantee you seven days of food rations for ten thousand people. At that time, Mr. Xiao, you only need to send someone to inform you. This is what we brothers are talking about, but it should not be known to outsiders." Xue Jinshan is really interesting.
In fact, these generals outside can see the overall situation and know the pros and cons.
Everyone knows that the emperor sent Xiao Chen to Northern Xinjiang because he wanted him to die. If Xiao Chen can stay there for two more days and even give the Xianbo people a little blow, it will be very beneficial to the border situation. of.
At least the pressure on Yanyunguan and Wolong Pass will be reduced a lot.
It is already late autumn, and winter is approaching. When the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, the Xianbo people will theoretically be unable to launch a large-scale offensive this year. They have to wait until tomorrow when the spring flowers bloom and the snow melts.
With this half year, the emperor can calmly deploy troops and generals to enrich the northern border.
After King Fengyang's army was able to rest for half a year, he could march north and completely recover Yanyun County, which was just around the corner.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Xue Jinshan decided to do his best to support Xiao Chen in this battle, no matter the outcome.
As for the emperor?
I will not accept the orders of the foreign king!
As long as you are dedicated to the welfare of the Zhou Dynasty, you will not hesitate to offend the emperor...
What's more, Xue Jinshan found that the emperor's attitude toward Xiao Chen seemed to be quite ambiguous recently, and he even gave Xiao Chen an extra thousand fine cavalry. Maybe it was because Xiao Chen saved his life?
Although Xue Jinshan is far away in Wolong, there are naturally many informants in Fengyang City, and the latest information is rushed to him every day for 800 miles...
Back at the camp, the brothers were very happy to meet each other. Xiao Chen told everyone about Tie Kunlun's origins, and everyone welcomed him. Now we don't lack anything else, but we are short of someone who can fight.
Tie Kunlun was shocked because he felt that all these people knew the true identity of the prince! Is this the military camp of the Zhou Dynasty or the military camp of the Han Dynasty?
The contents of the secret conversation between Xiao Chen and others surprised him even more. Damn it, aren't you guys trying to rebel?
It’s not like rebellions are so blatant now!
"The people I brought this time are all soldiers. There are no officers for more than a hundred households. This way, it will be easier to control. It is up to you, Xiaosheng, to decide how to lead them." The reason why Xiao Chen does not want officers is to fully digest them as soon as possible. These thousand fine knights.
"How about just mixing with the infantry and fighting together?" Ye Baiqing said.
"No, this cavalry is very precious. They must be used on the edge, and they cannot be mixed into the infantry. This will arouse their resentment, make them feel that they are not reused, and even suspect that we do not trust them. , leading to instability in the morale of the army." Wei Yuntian is the one who leads the troops and knows the stakes.
"Xiaosheng is right. Since we are going to fight side by side, there must be no distinction between first come, first served, and close relationships inside and outside. Many of these junior officers in the elite cavalry are from the Black Dragon Guard, so let Yuntian come to take care of them. If there are those who are good at fighting and capable among the backbone, they can be directly promoted in the future." Zhuge Xiaosheng agreed.
"What about the Musket Battalion? They can't be mixed with the cavalry," Lin Yue said.
"Leave the musket camp to Yue Zhonglin. Zhonglin has also been in the musketeer team before." Zhuge Xiaosheng has already thought about it.
"Lin Yue's new soldiers are mixed with our previous infantry. The veterans will lead the new soldiers. The combat effectiveness can be improved a lot. Five thousand people are enough to form a formation to fight against a certain number of cavalry. I think these five thousand people will be left to Lin Yue. Commander, you will decide the specific personnel arrangements, is that okay?"
During the time Zhuge Xiaosheng had been in contact with Lin Yue, he already knew him quite well.
This man is definitely an excellent general and worthy of the important task.
"I obey the general's order!" Lin Yue knew that this was not a discussion with him, but an order, so he immediately stood up and responded loudly.
"I asked Lu Fei to select some sharpshooters in the army these days to form an organic archer unit. However, the number is currently very small, with only more than 200 qualified... Lu Fei, are you too picky? ?" Zhuge Xiaosheng looked at Lu Fei.
"To tell you back to the general, it's not that the general is picky, it's just that he can barely do the job of archer! What the general wants is a sharp archer, not a random archer!" Lu Fei stood up and shouted back.
"Okay, that's what I said, let's do this. Your archers will join Xiao Ye and Duan Linger as the boss's personal soldiers. Xiao Ye's is the Cavalry Guard, and Duan Linger's is the Flying Wing Guard. Then you are the Yulin Guards, haha, there are three hundred people, and the organization of three guards is pretty scary when you go out." Zhuge Xiaosheng said with a smile.
"Yeah? General Zhuge, what are you talking about? We are here to fight, not to scare people!" Duan Ling'er was not happy when he heard this. Why did you make it sound like the rest of us were just lying? ?
"Ling'er, you are wrong. One of the highest levels of fighting is to scare people. This is called bluffing in the art of war. It makes the enemy unable to figure out our true strength, which means that we are not afraid of deceit." Zhuge Xiaosheng gave her seriously. explain.
This is a military meeting, not a small talk.
"Really? Then we will definitely scare their courage, don't you think so, Tie Kunlun?" Duan Ling'er then responded with anger and patted the stunned Tie Kunlun.
Well, Tie Kunlun just agreed casually, he was still immersed in shock.
Who is this Zhuge Xiaosheng?
At such a young age, I don’t even have a hair on my lips, yet I am giving orders as a general, and I do it on my own, without asking our Crown Prince for permission. Is it rude?
No, who is the boss here?
