Whether it was Lin Manliu's verbal explanation or Guan Xiao's immediate understanding, it made the leading guard feel a little more melancholy than before.
The Yanyang Dynasty has been at ease for so many years. Naturally, there are people who can handle this kind of business of buying and selling official titles and allowing family members to join the military and gain gold.
As one of the most powerful guards in Wang Zhong's hands, he understands these things even more.
Every time there is a drill in the camp or a patrol out of the city, he clearly distinguishes who should be taken with him and who should not be taken with him.
For those young men who are sent to the army for further studies, just let them stay in the camp and play cards and talk nonsense.
Those who should be taken out must be those with real abilities. Otherwise, when encountering bandits, it will hinder others at best, or affect the entire war situation at worst!
The young man who led the army and escorts to the center of the camp raised his hands and clasped his fists to show respect.
"I just made a mistake with my words. I hope that Young Master Lin will continue to make plans!"
After Lin Manliu returned the salute, he said: "We are currently sitting in the south of the city, and the army of the Northern Yan King is fighting in the east of the city. Where do the three generals think that even if Wu Yeqi wants to attack, where will they attack first?"
Guan Xiao couldn't help but feel a little curious when he saw that he didn't continue to show off to the military spies.
Regardless of whether the young man in front of him was instructed by Ye Dang, or what he thought in his heart, at this moment, if the layout plan does not rely on the internal and external coordination, it is enough to prove that this Yijian Villa does have some skills...
He immediately spoke out: "Although our three armies are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, if we want to attack here forcefully, Wu Yeqi must always be on guard against the Northern Yan King's subordinates in the east of the city, so unless they also have a strange move, they will not come here rashly!"
The leading guard nodded and agreed with Guan Xiao.
Lin Manliu hummed and continued to speak.
"Then we can wait and see here first, waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of, and then cooperate with the Northern Yan King's subordinates to attack the east capital!"
Li Yanhe responded and said: "As long as we can reach the city, we will rely on the internal commander of Yijian Villa to open the city gate when necessary. In this way, the south gate of Dongdu can be breached! Is this what Man Liu thinks?"
Lin Manliu looked at Li Yanhe, and while raising his hand to scratch his head, the young man grinned.
"Um!"
The young man's words until this moment did not reveal the identity of the hidden man to Santang.
Li Yanhe and Guan Xiao had no intention of asking, and the leading guard who was suspicious at first had given up the idea.
Because this is the back-up plan of Yijian Villa, in order to ensure the safety of internal agents, we cannot reveal it to them at this moment.
Guan Xiao seemed to suddenly remember something, and then clapped his hands.
"I wonder if Master Ye has time to order the disciples in the village to make some tools such as fire oxen?"
At that time, during the deadly battle with Wang Zhong in Jialan Temple, among the many reasons that could end the battle faster, the one with the greatest impact was the dozens of fire oxen crossbows.
According to Guan Xiao's original plan, he and Zheng Kuan had to go through the process of wearing down the cavalry's strength. When the battle was about to end, Zhou Biao could lead the remaining warriors.
The final result is likely to be a miserable victory, or even a narrow defeat.
But those dozen fire oxen crossbows frightened Wang Zhong and the others.
Although the power was less than one-tenth of the real power, the effect at the time was extremely good, enough to make those indomitable cavalry feel a little timid.
And it was that hint of cowardice that caused the Dongdu Cavalry's killing power to drop to the bottom in an instant!
The most important thing is to attack the enemy with troops and attack the heart.
He wanted to recreate the situation again, but he was given a cold water by the old liar in yellow shirt.
Ye Dangting shook his head and said: "I know what General Guan wants, but in the future the war will definitely focus on conquering cities and conquering areas far beyond guerrillas in the mountains. These fake tactics will not work..."
Lin Manliu answered: "There must be a real guy on top of the city, right?"
Guan Xiao clicked his lips and responded: "That's right, Guan took it too much for granted!"
Just when he wanted to sigh secretly, Li Yanhe, who was not far away, answered again.
"If nothing unexpected happens, we can still get some stuff for General Guan, just wait for a while!"
When Guan Xiao heard this, he looked at Li Yanhe and immediately clapped his hands.
"After all, it's you, the powerful officials, who have the information... We prepare for Japanese wars in our hometown every year, and the soldiers in the camp are hacked with swords. How can we use those things!"
Li Yanhe laughed and said: "The Hebei soldiers are so brave that even without these things, they can prevent the Japanese pirates from even entering my Yanyang!"
Hearing this compliment, Guan Xiao also laughed loudly.
Lin Manliu looked at the scene in front of him and unconsciously raised his hand to scratch his face.
On the way here just now, after listening to the old liar's analysis, he briefly introduced Guan Xiao and the leading guard of the Principle School.
And based on his own opinion, he guessed Guan Xiao's character.
After summarizing these characteristics, the young man originally thought that Guan Xiao would have the demeanor of a Confucian general, but unexpectedly, he was somewhat similar to elder brother Qin Mo.
Just as laughter continued in the main tent, someone suddenly shouted urgently outside the tent.
"Report—there is military information, please report it to the generals!"
Guan Xiao and Li Yanhe stopped laughing almost at the same time. The former immediately sat down and looked towards the entrance of the camp, and the latter quickly responded to the soldiers outside the camp.
"Come in! No need to salute, just tell the military report!"
Lin Manliu also walked towards his original seat, and soon a Yanyang soldier passed by him.
The latter shouted while running.
"About half a stick of incense, Wu Yeqi came out of Dongdu Valley Gate and walked all the way along the northern mountain road to King Beiyan's camp!"
Li Yanhe asked: "Can you estimate how many people there are?"
The Yanyang soldiers who conveyed the military information clasped their fists and said: "There should be more than ten thousand. They are marching very fast. They must have fought with the Northern Yan King's men at this moment!"
After hearing this, the leader of the army and the guards asked: "Can we take advantage of this opportunity?"
Li Yanhe did not respond immediately. Instead, he stood up and walked forward, and began to pace back and forth in the camp alone.
He looked at the animal skin military case on the side of the camp, and looked at the Dongdu defense map for a long time.
Guan Xiao immediately said: "I can lead my troops to pretend to attack Yongqiao at the south gate to test the reality of the city!"
Li Yanhe heard the sound and looked towards the city-entering bridge directly south of Dongdu, but he only stayed there for a moment and then moved his eyes to Guangyang Gate in the southwest.
"The Dongdu garrison should be summoned by General Wu Yeqi to protect the three east gates... At this moment, whether we forcefully break through or pretend to attack Yongqiao, we will encounter Wu Yeqi's obstruction!"
Ye Dangting seemed to have guessed what Li Yanhe was thinking. He saw a figure in a yellow shirt stepping forward and tapping twice at the Guangyang Gate in the southwest and Kaiyang Gate in the southeast.
"There is no need to pretend to attack Yongqiao. You can divide your troops into two. One of the troops can go towards Guangyang first. They can gallop on the other side of the river and throw giant trees in the river..."
As soon as these words came out, whether it was Li Yanhe, Guan Xiao, or the leading guard, all three people's eyes lit up.
The leading escort responded: "First, this will scare Wu Yeqi who is stationed at the south gate, and then another group of troops will appear on the other side of the Kaiyangmen River. By then, troops must be gathered on top of the city to protect both ends! "
Guan Xiao slapped his hand on the table, and the smile appeared on his face again.
"And the garrison generals of Wu Yeqi will definitely notice something fishy and conclude that our Guangyang and Kaiyang sides are just false moves. Finally, they will mobilize their troops to protect the Zhengnan Yong Bridge at any time!"
Li Yanhe finally finished, raising his finger to the original location of Guangyang Gate.
"As long as there is a slight panic at the top of the city, we can cross the river and pretend to attack this gate. It depends on whether the general at the top of the city understands this strategy of abandoning the near in favor of the far!"
After hearing the decisions of the three generals, the old liar in yellow shirt hurriedly clapped his hands.
Ye Dang seemed to think that one person's shot was not loud enough, so he immediately turned his head and winked at Lin Manliu.
"I didn't see how resourceful our three generals are. Hurry up and follow us!"
Lin Manliu rolled his eyes at the old liar and could only slap him along with him.
Bang bang bang - bang bang - bang -
Li Yanhe and the other three turned to look at Ye Dangting, their eyes full of contempt for his applauding action.
Guan Xiao was even better, he deliberately made a sarcastic statement
"When I first met Master Ye, I thought he was a well-spoken scholar. Why does he look like a gangster now?"
Ye Dangting put on a self-deprecating look, and the clapping movements in his hands were only faster than before.
"Ye is originally from a gangster background, so he can't get much publicity! It's like General Guan comes from a famous family, and most of the people he meets are the queens of the general family!"
Hearing the tone of the figure in yellow shirt, Guan Xiao became excited.
He gave Ye Dangting a thumbs up, but the thumb was pointing straight down.
"Zhuang Ye is actually able to make it this far in the marketplace. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it... I wouldn't be able to learn... I'd probably have to live in poverty in the back alleys for the rest of my life!"
An extremely weird smile appeared on Ye Dang's face.
"No matter how hard it is for General Guan to live in a shabby alley, no matter how hard his life is, he will always have the elders in his family secretly taking care of him. He will never be poor if he is poor!"
Guan Xiao pressed his thumb down again, and then did not continue to bicker with Ye Dang.
Is this a defeat?
The strange back-and-forth between the two made other people in the camp extremely uncomfortable.
Li Yanhe said helplessly: "General Guan, why are you arguing with Dangting like this? You don't know..."
Guan Xiao immediately asked: "Guan doesn't know anything!"
When Lin Manliu saw this, he could only let out a long sigh, and then started chanting loudly.
"The unhealthy trend in Yijian Villa is the strange yin and yang that comes from this mouth..."
Guan Xiao's ears were extremely sharp at the moment, and even if the young man had to speak again, he would still listen to him.
He turned to look at Ye Dangting, as if he had already prepared his words in his heart, ready to continue the verbal battle with him.
As a result, the man in yellow shirt had already walked towards the outside of the camp.
Guan Xiao hurriedly shouted: "Ye Dang listen! Stop with me! Wait a moment!"
How could the old liar in yellow shirt listen to him at this time? After hearing the news, he even quickened his pace and walked out.
Ye Dangting raised his left hand and shook it back. No matter how Guan Xiao shouted, he kept running forward.
