Bashang grassland. dock
Inside the main tent of the Yan army.
Xu Yi stopped writing and waited until the ink was completely dry.
So he quickly sealed it into an envelope and put it aside temporarily.
Then he picked up a document again and opened it to read.
As letters were opened and closed.
All the things that have happened in Yandi in recent days appeared before his eyes one by one in detail.
The first one to bear the brunt is the impact of the food-for-work program. dock
On March 1, seventeen cities in the two counties of Yan and Di successively posted notices for the reconstruction of Nuqicheng.
On March 10th, except for Yuyang City, all the other sixteen cities completed the specified number of recruitment matters.
And during these ten days.
Liaodong County, Liaoxi County, Youbeiping County, Dai County, Yanmen County, and Zhuo County.
A total of fifty-seven large and medium-sized commercial banks in these six counties successively escorted grain to Yan.
Among the fifty-seven large and medium-sized trading houses, some transport grains for several thousand dan, while many transport grain for more than 10,000 dan.
Due to the notice of "Rebuilding Nuqi City", a full-scale outbreak occurred in Yandi. dock
Among the fifty-seven trading houses, there were more than ten trading houses that arrived in Yan by water.
The rest all chose to stay where they were and stopped moving forward.
Around March 5th.
An unconfirmed piece of gossip quickly spread among businessmen after being spread by a caring person.
This rumor is that at the end of February, King Yi of Yan mobilized the entire army to compete in the "Top Five" soldiers and entered the Yan Palace fully armed.
He also ordered that from now on, Prince Yan's Mansion would no longer receive outsiders, and no official of the Prince's Mansion would be allowed to leave the mansion.
After getting the news, all the interested merchants in Juyang City rushed to Prince Yan's Mansion. dock
I would like to send you a greeting card to explore the truth.
However, when a group of interested businessmen rushed to Prince Yan's Mansion.
I saw that the expensive protective bridge of Prince Yan's Mansion had collapsed for an unknown period of time.
From time to time, groups of heavily armed soldiers flashed past the outer wall of Prince Yan's Mansion.
The entire Prince Yan's Mansion gave people the feeling of being faced with a formidable enemy.
However, who in the current Yan land can make Prince Yan's Mansion feel like it is facing a formidable enemy?
Once the news spread, it instantly caused an uproar among the merchants. dock
On March 1st, a notice for the reconstruction of Nvqicheng City was posted, and work was provided in lieu of relief.
At the end of February, Prince Yan's Mansion suddenly "closed the house" and dispatched 500 elite soldiers to garrison the mansion.
The two things are so close to each other that it's really hard not to think too much about them.
However.
Just as many aristocratic families and merchants were secretly speculating on the hidden story behind Prince Yan's sudden "lockdown".
Another piece of news was like a huge boulder crashing into the lake instantly.
In an instant, the already unstable lake surface immediately set off huge waves. dock
And this news is: Yuyang Incident.
"March 2nd at 9 o'clock."
"Pang Wenze attacked the Yuyang Qu family and the Xie family for treason."
"With lightning speed, we captured all the officials of the Qu and Xie families."
"Qu Huchen launched a mutiny outside Yuyang City, and a deadly battle broke out with He Maoping, the standing captain."
"After this battle, most of the four thousand county soldiers outside Yuyang City were killed or injured."
"At the same time, the Qu and Xie families chose to fight to the death." Wu
"The war lasted for a full day and night before it ended."
"After this battle, there will be no more Qu or Xie families in Yuyang County."
"As a result of the battle, nearly 30% of Yuyang City was destroyed, with more than 10,000 civilian casualties and countless property losses."
Seventeen cities in Shanggu and Yuyang counties posted notices on the reconstruction of Nvqicheng on the same day.
Before the notice was posted, the Prince of Yan's Mansion suddenly sent 500 soldiers into the mansion to "lock the mansion in seclusion."
On the second day after the notice for the reconstruction of Nuqicheng was posted, the Yuyang Incident occurred.
The behemoth that had stood in Yuyang County for hundreds of years suddenly collapsed. dock
Is there any relationship between these three
Necessary relationship?
The major events that broke out one after another made many aristocratic families and businessmen panic.
It's no better than Monk Zhang Er who is scratching his head and can't figure it out.
For a time, large and small "cultural gatherings" continued in Yandi.
Some people say that the notice "Rebuilding Nvqicheng" must have been written by King Yi of Yan.
Some people say that "rebuilding Nuqi City" is the imperial court's plan to deal with the natural disaster that is about to break out in Yandi.
Some people say that "rebuilding Nvqicheng" was a helpless move by Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze. dock
Because there were two cultural gatherings not long ago.
Therefore, this statement is quite accepted.
As for the sudden "lockdown" of Prince Yan's palace and the deployment of five hundred soldiers to guard it to the death.
After experiencing countless "literary meetings".
There is one statement that completely overwhelms other statements and gradually becomes the consensus of all aristocratic families and merchants.
This statement means: King Yi of Yan was the only person in thousands of years to successfully implement work-for-relief.
He knows how difficult it is to implement work-for-relief projects. dock
Even if it is itself, it will never be able to replicate the great work-for-relief work in Guanzhong.
That's why.
King Yifang of Yan had just put up the "Reconstruction of Nvqicheng" notice before "closing the house in seclusion".
This move is intended to completely separate from Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze.
In order to prevent the failure of the work-for-relief program from ruining his reputation as the only person in thousands of years to successfully provide work-for-relief programs.
As for why five hundred soldiers were transferred?
Xu was afraid that if the work-for-relief program failed, some of the victims would attack the Yan Palace. dock
This statement does not stand up to scrutiny.
But Naihe is the statement that many aristocratic families and businessmen are most willing to believe.
It comes down to it.
The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
Carloads of grain were transported to Yandi after untold hardships.
Is there any reason to transport it back again?
It’s not so much that a group of aristocratic families believed this statement. dock
It is better to say that a group of aristocratic families and businessmen are deceiving themselves and seeking psychological comfort.
As for the affairs of Qu and Xie families in Yuyang County.
Under the guidance of caring people.
The attention of all the aristocratic families and businessmen gradually shifted from seeking the truth to the huge profits left behind after the collapse of the Qu and Xie families.

Bashang grassland. dock
Inside the main tent of the Yan army.
Xu Yi put down the last document in his hand without comment.
In recent times, there have been constant incidents in Yandi, both large and small.
But generally speaking, except for the Yuyang incident, it exceeded its expectations.
The rest was within his expectations.
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then looked at the others in the tent.
I don't know when the food has been delivered. dock
Xu Yi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I've kept you all waiting for a long time."
"The food has been delivered. You and I might as well discuss it while we eat."
Xin Sixuan, Leader Wenxin and others heard this and were convinced.
Not long after.
Inside the main tent of the Yan army.
Xu Yi, Xin Sixuan, leader Wenxin, Wenxin, and Gengzhi sat around the table.
While eating, everyone expressed their opinions about today's training. dock
Obviously this scene is not a special case.
In fact, as early as March 1st, before the "Rebuild Nuqicheng" notice was posted in the seventeen cities in the two counties of Yan and Di.
Xu Yi had already appeared on the Bashang grassland with the five thousand soldiers of Wang Daying.
After nearly half a month.
Xu Yi has been eating and training with the five thousand soldiers of Wang Daying as "Geng Liang".
And after the daily practice.
It will inevitably end up like today with Xin Sixuan, Leader Wenxin and others. dock
Review the training content of the day in detail.
And review after every practice.
Xu Yi can always gain some insights.
And the depth of his understanding is far beyond that of studying dozens of military books.
As the saying goes: Reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles.
The same is true for the Art of War.
No matter how many military books you read, if you don't experience several actual battles, you will still be a person who talks about military affairs on paper. dock
He has a grand plan for hegemony, so why would he want to be a person who talks on paper?
As time flies by.
Night has enveloped the entire Bashang grassland quietly.
"It's getting late."
"I'll come here first today."
Inside the main tent of the Yan army.
Xu Yi stood up and walked straight to the desk above. dock
"yes."
Leaders Xin Sixuan and Wenxin stood up silently, cupped their fists and responded.
The words are over.
Xu Yi once again covered his face with the green-faced fang mask.
Immediately, holding the fine steel armor in one hand and the Qingyang Liquor in the other, he and Xin Sixuan and others walked out of the Chinese army's tent one after another.
As for the reply in the paperwork.
Deal with it with your own conscience. dock
In order to ensure a safe return from the Mobei battlefield in the near future.
When Xu Yi walked out of Juyang City, there were two hundred Wenxin Hundred Guards and Red Blood Guards following him secretly.
When he and five thousand soldiers walked out of the king's camp.
The two hundred Asking Hearts Hundred Guards and Red Blood Guards have transformed into Xin Sixuan's "personal guards" like him.
It is true that it needs to be baptized by the fire of war.
But being baptized by fire and dying on the battlefield are two completely different things.
If you are not adequately prepared. dock
How could Xu Yi go to the Mobei battlefield easily?
Not long after.
Xu Yi separated from Xin Sixuan, Leader Wenxin and others.
Then he walked alone into a dark and heavily guarded tent.
In the small tent.
Xu Yi put aside the fine steel armor in his arms and the Qingyang gun in his hands.
Then he retreated slowly and quickly, and the black paint along the water and landscape armor on his body was removed. dock
After the first layer of Mountain Wenjia passes.
Xu Yi slowly untied his armor robe, revealing the chain armor hidden inside.
And right under that chainmail.
Surprisingly, there is also a layer of fine silver armor.
The three layers of armor are gone.
Xu Yi suddenly felt dozens of times more relaxed.
After wiping off the sweat stains on your body with warm water in the account. dock
Xu Yi walked slowly to the camp bed.
Fang lay down for only a few breaths.
A slight snore came from his nose.
.......
.......
In the middle of the night.
The sound of snoring in the Yan army camp was loud. dock
An unusually sharp suona sound suddenly exploded from the outermost edge of the camp.
After more than ten breaths.
Unusually sharp suona sounds sounded one after another in the camp.
In just over a hundred breaths, the extremely sharp sound of the suona sounded from far to near to the Chinese army's tent.
"Enemy attack!"
The moment I heard the sound of suona.
Xu Yi, who had fallen asleep, woke up instantly. dock
No time to think too much.
Xu Yi climbed up on the military bed like a reflex.
Then he quickly rushed towards the armor.
A green-faced fanged mask covers his face.
The two Wenxins broke into the small tent with lightning speed.
Just as two Wenxins were assisting Xu Yi in putting on his armor.
Suddenly, there was a slightly rapid drum beat outside the small tent. dock
"The enemy is attacking, all officers and soldiers will form defensive formations on the spot, waiting for military orders!"
Xu Yi quickly put on his armor and concentrated carefully.
Carefully understand the military orders conveyed by the sound of war drums.
Identification of drums.
This is one of the necessary common sense for the military.
It is also the first thing that new soldiers must master after joining the army.
Not long after.
With the help of two Wenxins, Xu Yi quickly dressed up. dock
Then he grabbed Qingyang Li and walked straight towards the small tent.
Fang Yi walked out of the small tent.
Then he saw several bonfires burning on a high platform not far away.
Xin Sixuan stood on the high platform and watched everything in the Yan Army camp with cold eyes.
His already oppressive figure became taller and burlier after being illuminated by the bonfire.
And under the high platform.
One small square formation after another is moving at a seemingly slow, but actually fast speed. dock
They formed one large defensive formation after another.
Xu Yi kept walking and quickly walked towards the high platform.
When he stepped onto the high platform.
The incense stick inserted in a bronze incense burner not far from Xin Sixuan has been nearly half burned.
"Half a stick of incense."
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then silently stood behind Xin Sixuan on the left side.
Compared with the time it took to burn an incense when we arrived at Bashang Grassland. dock
And half a stick and two inches of time the day before yesterday.
Apparently Xu Yi made some progress again tonight.
As for the so-called enemy attack?
Where will there be any enemy attacks in Bashang Grassland?
This was nothing more than a nightly combat exercise.
And similar night exercises will be carried out every few days.
And Xu Yi always takes off his armor and sleeps like today. dock
It's not that his stubborn nature won't change.
It's nothing more than truly treating training as actual combat.
On the real battlefield.
No one can be sure when the enemy will attack at night.
A war can last from a few months to a few years or even tens to hundreds of years.
Who dares to ensure that he sleeps with his armor on for such a long time?
Even if it cannot be guaranteed, we will strive to enter combat status in the shortest possible time. dock
And this is what Xu Yi pursues.
On the high platform next to the Chinese army's tent.
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then looked down.
I saw the sound of war drums and the continuous waving of flags.
The five thousand soldiers in the Yan Army camp formed defensive formations one after another at a speed that seemed slow but was actually fast.
During this period, everything seemed extremely orderly.
Not long after. dock
All the five thousand soldiers in the Yanjun camp are completely in place.
The sound of war drums suddenly stopped at this moment.
Xu Yi turned his head slightly and glanced at the incense burner not far away.
I saw that only two-thirds of the incense inside was burned.
See this.
Xu Yi couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Compared to the day before yesterday, it was close to the time of one stick of incense. dock
The five thousand soldiers tonight also made great progress.
"withdraw troops."
Just when Xu Yi looked at Xianxiang quietly.
Xin Sixuan suddenly ordered in a deep voice with no expression on his face.
The words are over.
A dozen burly soldiers on the high platform were beating war drums or waving their flags rhythmically.
at the same time. dock
The messengers under the high platform kept galloping into the camp with their horses and whips raised.
A quarter of an hour later.
The Yanjun camp, which was originally full of people, returned to an empty state again.
Xu Yi also returned to his small tent from the high platform.
However.
Unexpectedly, he took off the second layer of chain mail.
The sharp sound of the suona and the slightly rapid sound of the war drums again
The sound came from outside the small tent. dock
Hear the voice of command.
Xu Yi had no choice but to quickly put it on again.
at the same time.
The two Wenxins once again broke into the small tent with lightning speed.
This night.
Xin Sixuan struggled four times.
At Mao hour the next day. dock
The sky finally brightened slightly.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The rallying horn sounded again.
More than 5,000 soldiers, including Xu Yi, all plunged into intense training again with dark circles under their eyes.
