The seven-day period passed in an instant, but the person who went out to deliver the letter never came back.
Bai Feng thought that this person had not made any achievements and was not worthy of trust. Therefore, it was not appropriate to raise his troops to attack the east today. At this time, he should wait for work and occupy the terrain to consolidate defenses to prevent being surrounded and suppressed by the two forces of the Allied Forces and Rouran.
Don't you know that Huang Yixiao, who still has a sense of recklessness and still has naive illusions about loyalty in the world, disagrees with Bai Feng. For this reason, he even had a big quarrel with Bai Feng during the discussion, accusing Bai Feng of not trusting his brother. , just say.
"I recognize the look in his eyes. He definitely wants to submit to us. He is sincerely convinced by you. Brother Bai, why are you always so suspicious?"
"It's not that I'm suspicious, this is the way to use troops!" Bai Feng showed no sign of weakness and replied with the same arrogance: "Don't doubt the people you employ, and don't use the people you doubt. I asked him to deliver the letter to prove to him that I have no two intentions. Opportunity. Now he has not returned, and his life and death are uncertain... I am afraid that he has changed his mind, or that the Rouran people have seen through the plan and died. No matter what the outcome is, it will be detrimental to our army. How can I trust the general to lead the army? campaign?"
Huang Yixiao stood up, ignored Bai Feng's obstruction, and walked all the way to the outside of the tent before turning back and angrily saying: "It was you who came up with this bad idea, and you killed others! You won't let me send troops now?" After that, he said, Suddenly two girls came up and bowed to greet them.
Murong Yan said: "What are the two generals arguing about?"
"What's wrong, aren't we going to send out troops to kill thieves today?" Shen Qiongzhi echoed inappropriately, which completely ignited Huang Yixiao's warlike heart.
"You two girls, are you here to explain something to General Bai Feng?" Huang Yi smiled and said, "Just in time, we are ready to set off."
Shen Qiongzhi saw that something was not right about the situation, and immediately asked: "I heard the quarrel coming from the camp just now. Did something happen?"
"Nothing happened!" Huang Yixiao said, and was about to go to the general station to review the soldiers.
Unexpectedly, Bai Feng immediately rushed out of the tent to stop him and said, "Stop. Brother Huang, you can't go! If you have to send troops, please let me be the vanguard. You are the commander-in-chief and you cannot put yourself in danger."
"Huh?" Huang Yixiao showed a smile that seemed to have succeeded, and replied: "So, General Bai Feng agrees?"
"Yes, I would like to lead two thousand troops to find out what's going on."
"No, I want to go too. General Bai Feng is still young, and arraying against the enemy is not your strong point." Huang Yixiao was still not satisfied with Bai Feng's concession, and continued: "How about I go as the vanguard, you How about staying at home base?"
After hearing this, Bai Feng's face darkened instantly. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked back to the tent. Huang Yixiao followed suit, leaving Mu and Chen alone waiting outside the tent.
"Brother Huang, you are the commander-in-chief, so be careful not to act out of emotion." Bai Feng said: "Now the enemy's situation is unclear, and our army is only a new army that has just been established... I can lose, but the commander-in-chief must not lose!"
"Okay, okay, I understand." Huang Yixiao then began to compromise and said, "Let's do this. I'll stay at the camp and let the other brothers get ready. If Brother Bai sees that Rouran has fallen into the trap, he will immediately send someone to send a message. Come back, all of us will definitely arrive as soon as possible for reinforcements.”
Bai Feng nodded and then left, returning to the camp with Mu Chen and the two girls. The two girls helped him put on his armor and military uniform.
Before leaving, Murong Yan handed the copper bell that symbolized "heart to heart" to Bai Feng again and asked: "Brother Feng, this is the second time you have led troops onto the battlefield. Yan'er doesn't expect you to be able to do it." Come back intact, I just ask you not to show off... That was how you were in Yangcheng at that time, and that's why you were almost buried in a pile of dead people."
"I understand." Bai Feng tied the copper bell around his waist and replied, "I didn't expect that these prisoners and surrendered soldiers who were originally designed to be dismissed by me turned out to be the rebels under my command. It's really unpredictable."
Shen Qiongzhi joked: "There are many things in this world that make you feel unpredictable. For example, you must not believe that I can beat you in a sumo wrestling match now, right?"
"Oh? What does this mean? Has Miss Shen learned a new trick?" Bai Feng asked.
"Huang Yixiao taught me this. He said this trick will definitely work for you!" Shen Qiongzhi smiled and geared up. She seemed to really like sumo wrestling.
Murong Yan didn't say anything more, she just smiled happily and kept looking at Bai Feng.
The young man seemed to have noticed something, and the copper bell on his waist jingled. He walked over and patted Murong Yan on the shoulder, comforting him: "You two, remember to take care of each other, and wait until I come back..."
After finishing speaking, Bai Feng went out of his tent and walked up to the general platform to inspect two thousand soldiers and horses, and was immediately appointed as the vanguard to send troops to conquer Rouran.
After attacking for dozens of miles, the men and horses were exhausted, and the enemy was nowhere to be seen. It was midday, when the Yang Qi was at its peak, and the march of thousands of people had no choice but to slow down their march.
The commanders on the left and right all admonished Bai Feng: "Our army does not carry enough water and food, so we should divide our troops into three groups so that we can detect the enemy's situation as soon as possible."
Bai Feng didn't take it seriously. Instead, he ordered all the cavalry to dismount and walk with the infantry, so that everyone could drink water and eat whatever they wanted.
After hearing this, all the generals were in an uproar. However, the military orders are like mountains, who dares to disobey them?
After a short while, such a military order that could relax people's senses and relax their spirits quickly took effect - the army of thousands of people quickly became disorganized under the scorching sun, and the soldiers began to talk among themselves.
"With such a military appearance, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
"Sure enough, General Bai Feng has never actually led troops to fight, but only talks about it on paper."
"Can we really win the war like this?"
Everyone on the left and right saw this and asked immediately without asking for a detailed explanation. They just hoped that Bai Feng could give instructions on the next step.
"General Bai Feng, if we encounter the enemy, how should we fight against them?"
"General Bai Feng, if we still can't encounter the enemy after nightfall, shouldn't we go back?"
Bai Feng led the horse and walked on the field, pointed to a high slope to the east, and said: "If it doesn't go as I expected, they will come to our door soon."
After another half a moment, a fast horse came to report, claiming that a Rouran army was attacking not far ahead, with no more than 2,000 people in sight.
"Two thousand people?" Bai Feng murmured.
Zuo Dutong said: "General Bai Feng, we can handle these two thousand people, why not form an array to face the enemy?"
You Dutong nodded repeatedly and agreed: "This Rouran people are really stingy. They only sent two thousand people to surround us."
After hearing this, Bai Feng burst into laughter and immediately ordered: "The entire army discarded their helmets and armor and retreated back!"
"What?" Both of them were speechless.
Bai Feng explained: "To fight a beautiful victory, you don't have to fight to the death."
