The art of war written by sages cannot be thoroughly studied by ordinary people.
Xu Yunyan's easy words shocked the famous general, and Li Jing, who could be regarded as one of the only famous generals, was shocked.
"I didn't expect you to be able to say such classic words, but I'm curious. Did you sum up your classic words yourself, or did you listen to someone else?"
"I said I concluded this myself. Master, do you agree?"
Li Jing didn't care too much. Instead, he laughed after hearing what Xu Yunyan said.
"I don't care whether you did your own research or listened to what others said. Since you can say such wise words, I feel relieved when you go to the Northland. I must do what you said. But you can’t act on impulse.”
Li Jing kept teaching Xu Yunyan here, and Xu Yunyan kept nodding.
"Don't worry, Master, I will never embarrass you."
"It's not that it's embarrassing for me. I'll be happy as long as I stay alive and buy us some time."
Xu Yunyan solemnly said goodbye to Li Jing and led the one hundred elite men he selected from among the many soldiers to quietly go to the north.
After walking day and night, we finally arrived at the frontier at dawn on the third day.
Looking at the endless grassland, Xu Yunyan and a hundred cavalry were hiding in a small ravine. Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but think of a plan, and said something to Zhai Peng who was following him.
"Do you think if I set a fire, I could cause an uproar on this grassland? It has just passed the New Year, and the grass has not sprouted yet, and it is still very dry."
Xu Yunyan said this, but Zhai Peng shivered in fright, "Captain, if we really set a fire here and the wind blows towards us, we can..."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Although Xu Yunyan knew what Zhai Peng meant by not speaking, he still couldn't help but have such an idea in his mind.
"Yes, although we can't control the direction when setting fire, it may burn us, but this is a unique opportunity to win!"
Xu Yunyan then looked at the small ravine where he was and then at the grassland in front of him, pulling Zhai Peng over to whisper in his ear.
"Captain, do you really want to do this? If something unexpected happens, we will be doomed."
Seeing Xu Yunyan looking at him with a frosty face, Zhai Peng immediately became honest and said,
Governor, whatever you arrange will be done. I will prepare it now. "
As soon as Xu Yunyan arranged for Zhai Peng to go out and prepare, a black line appeared on the horizon in front of him.
Looking at the rolling black line, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but feel surprised.
"The Turks came so quickly. I had only left Jiangzhou for three days. Even if the soldiers from Huainan Road continued their efforts, they would not be able to come to Jiangzhou to listen to Li Jing's orders in just a few days.
What's more, Jiangzhou is still some distance away from this border. No, I have to hold them back no matter what, wait until the army is assembled, and give them a thunderous blow. "
Xu Yunyan was thinking here, watching the hundred soldiers behind him gathered around him, pointing at the black line rolling in the distance.
"Sirs, have you seen it? That's the Turks. The Turks are here, and our army has not yet gathered. Across the Great Wall from behind is our hometown. Although it is not Jiangzhou, it is still our local comrades. You Can you bear to see them not prepared to let these Turkic soldiers wreak havoc?"
Xu Yunyan was shouting here, and these one hundred elite soldiers of the Tang Army were shouting loudly that they were unwilling, unwilling.
"Okay, since you are not willing, then we will keep them here completely. It is wishful thinking to cross the Great Wall."
Just as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, a team of one hundred soldiers stepped forward, "Sir, let's rush out and fight them!"
Xu Yunyan didn't react at this time. "What did you just say? Rush out and fight with them?"
"That's right!" This team looked at Xu Yunyan as they should.
Xu Yunyan covered his forehead, "There are only a few of us? If we rush out and fight with them, isn't this asking for death?"
When Xu Yunyan said this, the team was surprised.
"Sir, didn't you just say that we should keep them here and not let them cross the Great Wall? If we don't rush out and fight them, how can we keep them here?"
After the team finished talking, the soldiers behind him with well-developed limbs like mallets and simple minds stared at Xu Yunyan.
Xu Yunyan said to them with a black line on his face, "Don't you think it's too simple? There are only a few of us? It's not enough for them to rush out with a wave of arrows and swords. I said I would keep them here, but Haven’t you noticed that there are too few of us?”
But just after Xu Yunyan finished speaking, this
The team is not very clear here.
"But my lord, isn't this inconsistent with what you said?"
Xu Yunyan looked at him and her face turned dark. "What's your name?"
"Sir, my name is Liu Chunpeng."
"I said, Liu Chunpeng, can you please open your mind? I said to keep them here, just stay here. It's like I trained you but I didn't train you. You charge head-on, but instead attack behind enemy lines and so on. Like, do you think that’s what happened?”
After Xu Yunyan changed the subject here, the team member named Liu Chunpeng looked at him and said something.
"Sir, are we going to run behind them and sneak attack them? Just look at their posture, they won't be able to set up camp for a while. If we sneak attack them from behind, wouldn't it be enough for them to shoot a hail of arrows?"
Xu Yunyan sighed, "We are in the mountains. Although we are in the middle of a ravine, we can see far from us. They are at least forty or fifty miles away from us. When they get here, they will set up camp. Although they have the power of horses, these Turks will not care about their horses so much. When they set up camp, tonight is a good opportunity for us to take action."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Liu Chunpeng clapped his hands and said, "I see, Lord Commander, I know it. I will take my people to prepare now. When night comes, I will rush in and kill him, turning everything upside down."
Liu Chunpeng said this here, Xu Yunyan glared at him, "What are you preparing for here?"
Liu Chunpeng was a little surprised at this moment, "Aren't you ready to rush into the Turkic army camp at any time?"
"Invade the Turkic camp at any time? That is something we will talk about later. What we have to study now is rest. If we don't have a good rest, how can we enter the Turkic camp?"
Liu Chunpeng seemed to react at this moment, "I understand, I will definitely take a good rest as the captain said."
As Liu Chunpeng said this, everyone fell to the ground and began to sleep soundly. They had been tired all night, and they didn't have much energy to work here.
Xu Yunyan's face was filled with black lines as he looked at some Zhechongfu soldiers lying on the ground and sleeping soundly here.
"I brought these stick-like weapons and Zhe Chongfu soldiers to come here to attack the Turks, do I really have a chance of winning?
Although these are the soldiers I am proud of training, why do I feel like I am dying when I look at them? "
