The night is deep and it is the time to fall asleep. But at this moment, no one in the entire Yuan army camp could sleep.

In the commander's camp, the coach Tuo Lei sat at the top with a gloomy face and said nothing. He never expected that the Sui army would attack the grain camp. The Central Plains was indeed full of outstanding people and capable people, and he really couldn't underestimate them.

General Pugu Huai'en took two steps forward and whispered: "Your Highness, the Falling Star Valley Grain Camp has stored grain for our army for three months. Once it is destroyed, I'm afraid it won't be able to last for a few days with the grain that can be used by the army."

Tuo Lei raised his head and glanced at Pugu Huai'en, and asked in a hoarse voice: "How long does it take to get grain and grass from the Zhuojun camp?"

Pugu Huai'en shook his head and said: "It will take at least ten days to transport grain from Zhuojun. What's more, the main force of our army is here. The Zhuojun camp cannot send many soldiers and horses to escort the grain and grass. There will definitely be encounters along the way. The rebels who arrived in Youzhou attacked."

Seeing that Tuo Lei remained silent, Pugu Huai'en couldn't help but become anxious. He took a step forward and continued: "Your Highness, you must continue to suffer the chaos. This situation does not allow for any hesitation. Please withdraw your troops quickly!" "

"Withdraw troops, withdraw what troops?"

Tie Lei Ba Bao shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Highness, all the soldiers and horses of the Sui army have been severely damaged by our army. This moment is a great opportunity to annihilate the Sui army in one fell swoop. How can we give up right now?"

There was still a deep blood mark on his face, and his eyes showed deep hatred. Combined with his already terrifying face, he looked even more ferocious.

Pugu Huai'en was deeply disdainful of Tie Lei Babao's reckless behavior, and immediately stepped forward and reprimanded him mercilessly: "The food and grass are running out, and the army has no fighting spirit. Even if our army can completely annihilate the Sui army, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. By then, won’t Youzhou be cheaper than Wanyan Aguda!”

"General Pugu is right!"

Zulun nodded and said: "Although our army has reached an agreement with Wanyan Aguda, the most unreliable thing in the world is the alliance between the two countries. Once our army is weak, Wanyan Aguda will definitely show no mercy. Eat us in one bite and dominate the entire Youzhou."

"General Zu also agrees to withdraw the troops?" Tuo Lei glanced at Zu Chuan and asked in a deep voice.

"The grain camp was destroyed. The Sui army must have been aware of the prince's plan to encircle the area for reinforcements. At this time, it would be a good idea to retreat back to Zhuojun. But -"

Zu Chunlan nodded slowly and changed the topic, "Before leaving, there is no need to keep this Sui army that was originally left here to lure the enemy to rescue!"

"Yes, this army has no use value anymore, so what's the use of keeping it?"

Tuo Lei nodded and said: "General Zhebie, I order you to lead 10,000 elite troops to rush to Luo Xing Valley immediately to disperse the Sui army and save as much food and grass as you can!"

Zhebie immediately stepped out of the queue, clasped his fists, and said in a deep voice: "I will obey your orders!"

Tuo Lei scanned the generals in the tent again and said loudly: "Generals, please return to the camp immediately to appease the morale of the army. We will launch a general attack at dawn tomorrow and destroy the Sui army in one go!"

The firelight in the dark night not only attracted the attention of the Yuan army, but also the heavily surrounded Sui army. Fifteen days have passed since they were ambushed and surrounded. They have cut off all contact with the outside world. If Tuo Lei hadn't wanted this army to be destroyed quickly for his encirclement reinforcement plan, he specially gave them in the camp. Some food and grass were left behind, but I'm afraid this army would have collapsed long ago.

"What's going on? What happened?" Xiong Kuohai strode up to the camp wall and asked the surrounding soldiers.

"General Xiong, look over there!"

Zhao Yun pointed to the area of ​​Luo Xing Valley and said: "There seems to be a fire over there. From what I can see, it should be our army attacking the Turkic camp!"

"Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!"

"We are saved!"

"Great, I knew the brothers outside would not leave us alone!"

The surrounding soldiers cried with joy after hearing Zhao Yun's words. What people fear most is the unknown danger. Being surrounded for more than ten days has brought their spirits to the verge of collapse. When they heard that reinforcements were coming, they all cheered.

"Great, General Zhao, brother Kuo Hai, now we are saved!" Cao Dan also walked forward from behind with excitement on his face, looking at Zhao Yun and Xiong Kuo Hai and said.

Zhao Yun stared ahead for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and said to Xiong Kuohai and Cao Dan: "Two generals, your morale is now available. I suggest you take this opportunity to break out to the north immediately and gather reinforcements!"

"ah?"

Cao Dan and Xiong Kuohai were stunned when they heard this, and said: "General Zhao, the reinforcements are still some distance away from us at the moment. Isn't it too early to break out of the encirclement? Why don't we wait for a day or two and wait for the reinforcements to reach us before we break out of the encirclement?" Wouldn’t it be better?”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Two generals, there are more than 50,000 Turkic troops surrounding us. If we wait for reinforcements to arrive before breaking through, it will definitely be a bloody battle. Now the main force of our Sui Dynasty is in the Central Plains to suppress the rebellion. We have limited troops and horses in Youzhou, so we should focus on preserving our strength at the moment.

Furthermore, the Turkic commander is not a fool. Even if our reinforcements arrive, he will definitely send troops to intercept them and increase the intensity of the siege. Our army is close to food and grass at this moment, and if we delay it for a few more days, we are afraid that there will be another change. Two generals, if we want to break out of the encirclement, the key is to rely on ourselves! "

"Yes, General Zhao is right!"

After hearing this, Cao Dan and Xiong Kuohai nodded and said, "In that case, let's assemble the troops now!"
