After Zhu Qinghong issued the order, Yuanyou immediately notified people to convene a meeting. The decision has been made: Li Yixian, Chu Nanbo, and Wei Zhou will take command and set off.
Yuanyou was appointed as the supervisor to accompany him.
Wei Xuanyu prepares grain and grass. Dong Siqing and Dong Sishuang guard Tianchong City to prevent accidents.
There are three people in charge of this battle, and military orders must be confirmed and approved by Yuanyou.
If you act without authorization, please refer to this book.
The food and grass were ready, and the army set off. After setting up camp, they soon had disagreements.
Intelligence showed that the enemy was not strong, so Li Yixian and Chu Nanbo believed that the army could be divided into three and attack three countries respectively.
Yuanyou disagreed: "The most taboo thing on the battlefield is to underestimate the enemy's carelessness."
He advocated attacking the city with all his strength, one city at a time, without any rush. The two tried to persuade them for a long time to no avail, so they had no choice but to obey orders.
Before attacking the city, clear out the nearby monsters.
Wei Zhou and three others led the troops, opened the road and placed orbs to ensure that they would not be attacked from both sides.
While clearing out the monsters, a group of soldiers picked up an individual. The man's face was completely disfigured, scarred, and dying. His clothes are like rags and his hair is like straw.
The soldiers discussed it and rescued the man and reported it to the superior. Doctors went to treat him and save his life.
"A single person, seriously injured in the wild and still alive?" Yuanyou was a little curious, who has such tenacious vitality.
He was rescued and was unconscious for two days before waking up.
Yuanyou heard the news and came to visit: "You are seriously injured and it is not appropriate to get up."
The man looked around and nodded in thanks.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yuanyou called the doctor: "Could it be that his throat is also injured?"
"My throat is not injured. It's just that the high fever has just subsided, and my throat is dry and it's difficult to make a sound. It will heal in a few days."
Yuanyou nodded and asked the doctor to take good care of him. The doctor presented him respectfully and then prepared the medicine.
There was something unreal about the man lying on the clean bed. He should die, always standing on the edge of death but desperately crawling to the world.
He deserves to die, but he doesn't want to die.
Under the care of doctors, the man can get out of bed and walk after a few days of recuperation. He was helped out to get some fresh air.
The warm sunshine seems like a world away.
People, indeed, are best alive. Patrolling soldiers passed by and greeted the healers.
The man was not at all uncomfortable in the barracks. He walked around and came to Yuanyou's tent.
Soldiers on duty blocked the road.
The doctor asked to go in and report.
After a while, the soldiers came out and invited them in.
In the camp, the food on the table was not touched, and Yuanyou was still writing official documents. When the two came in, he didn't even raise his head: "Sit down."
"Master Yuan, Master Yuan, what are you waiting for if you don't attack the city?" Chu Nanbo, young and energetic, came in with Li Yixian.
The doctor had just helped the man sit down and said dissatisfiedly: "What a shame. How dare you do it in front of His Majesty?"
Of course I don't dare.
Chu Nanbo and Li Yixian saluted and apologized.
Yuan You smiled and put down his pen: "No problem. We already know the situation in the enemy's city. If we don't attack them, they will be in chaos. Please note that the test question for your trip is, small price, big gain."
Wei Zhou opened the curtain and walked over: "Sorry, I didn't stop them. Young people want to prove themselves by making military achievements."
Yuanyou nodded: "I understand. But your ability to take charge in this battle is proof. You have many competitors."
Chu Nanbo and Li Yixian bowed their heads in embarrassment.
Pushing the official document aside, Yuanyou looked at the man: "Please tell me your surname, Mr. Gao."
"Xiao Shixing." The man replied.
The officers and soldiers in the barracks always obey the strong. This person is called "Sir", which shows that he is a civil servant.
How extraordinary it is for a civil servant to be respected by soldiers. Not only was he respectful, but he treated them submissively.
"You guys came just in time. You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's use it together." Yuanyou called people in and passed around more food.
Wei Zhou and the others sat down.
Chu Nanbo was unwilling to accept it: "We have been besieging but not attacking, waiting for them to surrender?"
"Your Majesty's attack on the Shanyue Alliance is approaching. It must be a big war. It's a pity that we are not qualified to follow." Li Yixian regretted.
Having used weapon boxes, it is natural to look down on power props. They wanted to climb up, but there was no chance.
"Your Majesty is strategizing and will definitely achieve a complete victory." Yuanyou respected Your Majesty and felt that nothing in the world could stop him from conquering the world.
Xiao Shixing lowered his eyes, Shanyue Alliance.
It's a tough bone, and it can be defeated even if it's said to be attacked.
When the food was served, they chatted while eating. The doctor reminded him to pay attention to his diet, and Xiao Shixing nodded in agreement.
Dismissed after dinner. Xiao Shixing, accompanied by doctors, visited every corner of the barracks.
Regardless of the spirit of the soldiers or the supply of food and grass, it all shows that this is a good army. They are proud to be soldiers, respect His Majesty and cherish food.
When Xiao Shixing can walk on his own, doctors will no longer accompany him. He was envious, envious of these people's simple and warm hearts.
"You are not ready yet. An order has been passed down from above to start attacking the city in an hour. If the time is delayed, be careful of military law."
Xiao Shixing, who was sitting in a corner in a daze, heard these words and saw the soldiers running away in a hurry. He got up and followed him, wanting to see if he could win this battle.
The soldiers gathered and stood in line.
Wei Zhou and the other three spoke one after another to boost morale.
Yuanyou stood aside with a smile. He is just supervising the army and does not need to appear at such moments. Let them have the limelight when it's their turn.
After mobilization, set off.
Wei Zhou led the three men on horseback, followed by cavalry, infantry, shield bearers, archers, etc.
The soldiers were out and the barracks suddenly became much empty. Xiao Shixing walked over and saluted: "Master Yuan, won't you follow the army?"
"I am the supervisor of the army. I will not go to the battlefield unless necessary." Yuanyou said rudely and turned back to the camp.
Just a supervisor?
Xiao Shixing frowned, feeling that things were not simple. The soldiers respected Master Yuan from the bottom of their hearts.
We set off in the morning and received good news in the afternoon.
Winning is a given, and Wonwoo asks about the casualties. He frowned when he learned the number of people.
After returning from the great victory, Wei Zhou and the other three happily held a celebration banquet. Yuanyou didn't say anything and only asked about the specific situation after the banquet was over.
It turned out that their attack on the city went smoothly and they relaxed their vigilance for a while. Unexpectedly, someone pretended to surrender, and several people were killed in a sneak attack.
Yuanyou's face darkened: "Submit the battle report, what do you think of His Majesty? The enemy is not strong, and the fight is so bad, how can we keep up with His Majesty's pace? Chu Nanbo, Li Yixian, do you still want to be the Twelve Guards? Is this your record?"
The two of them lowered their heads and said nothing.
The previous joy was gone.
Yuanyou sighed: "I'll give you a chance and see how you perform later."
They bowed and responded. After resting for a few days, the army headed towards the second goal.
Everyone learned from the previous lessons and won this battle happily, with no one dying.
Although there were injuries, they were all flesh wounds. Then, they headed to their third target.
This time we encountered strong resistance. The other party was talented and acted treacherously. Even those who defend the city can play tricks to make them unsure of the specific situation in the city.
After five days, the battle was at a stalemate. Yuanyou had a headache, and the loss of manpower and material resources would outweigh the gain.
The city wall is like a high mountain, difficult to cross.
He was worried, and Xiao Shixing was outside asking for a meeting.
Wonwoo lets people in. At this time, Xiao Shixing was in much better health, with a tall and straight figure and a certain air of his own.
He saluted: "Master Yuan has a sad face and his appetite is less than usual. But is it about attacking the city?"
Yuanyou nodded: "Normally, the opponent's number is smaller than ours, and they have been surrounded for a while, so their momentum should be low. But on the contrary, they don't know what is supporting them, and they firmly believe that they will win. The casualties have increased, and too much material resources have been invested. I'm afraid..."
"Master Yuan, do you want to retreat?" The wounds on Xiao Shixing's face were scabbed and not as ferocious as before. "The reason why you are in a dilemma is because the other party sees your intention. Attacking three countries one after another is enough for people to collect information."
That's right. Yuanyou was helpless, they exposed too much information. The other party may see their true intentions and try to delay them.
Xiao Shixing continued: "In the first two battles, you deliberately reduced casualties. The people on the opposite side are very smart and can see through your weaknesses. Even if there are not many soldiers in the city, they can create a sea of people. Even if they are destined to lose, they will fight until the last moment."
Yuanyou shook his head, they couldn't afford it.
There is too much wastage, Your Majesty will hold you accountable. The three generals were all to blame, and he could not blame himself alone.
The other side racked their brains to buy time and kill more people. Forcing them to retreat, it must be said that this move was very successful.
"Lord Yuan, don't worry. We are not at the end of the road. I have a method, sir, are you willing to listen?" Xiao Shixing's eyes were firm.
"Sir, just say it. If it is really useful, Yuan will be grateful." Yuan You stood up and bowed deeply.
Xiao Shixing hurriedly helped him up: "I can't do it. Mr. Yuan, this method requires you to come forward. You will enter the city as the peace envoy. As long as you enter the city, you will have a clear view of the situation in the city. They cannot refuse the peace talks. If they refuse, it means that the general has no power. brain."
It was a wonderful move to go to the city as a peace envoy to get information. Yuanyou nodded: "I'll try my best."
Xiao Shixing smiled and said nothing. Master Yuan's ability can be clearly seen from one incident. Is it the lotus tongue that persuades the enemy to surrender, or is it the force of force?
I hope Master Yuan will not disappoint him. After all, Lord Yuan is the right-hand prime minister of the Yunhong Dynasty.
The next day.
Yuanyou sent people to the city gate and shouted: "Our army is interested in peace talks. If you are willing, we will send envoys into the city."
The other party asked the envoy how many people there were and what their identities were.
Our army replied: The two of them are the supervisors of the army.
The soldiers on the city wall immediately went back to report and received a quick reply. They agreed to peace talks and opened the city gates after noon to welcome the envoy.
In the tent.
Yuanyou tied up his cloak and said, "You don't have to worry, I have Brother No. 1 with me. Everything will be fine."
"How can you not be worried? If the city is not captured, Your Majesty will at most give you a few harsh words. If anything happens to you, we will die to apologize."
"Master Yuan, why take such a risk? If they want to delay, we will delay. There is enough food, and we are not afraid of delaying."
Shaking his head, Yuan You said helplessly: "The casualties in this battle have exceeded expectations, and it will be very unfavorable to continue to drag it on. Victory or defeat on the battlefield is small, but His Majesty is disappointed in you. I'm afraid that in anger, Your Majesty will withdraw your bid for the Twelve Guards. qualifications."
He understands His Majesty better than anyone else. He will reward those who have merit and punish those who are guilty. She knows best what kind of punishment can make people miserable.
The two young people have a bright future and cannot let small things compromise them. Yuanyou turned to look at No. 1: "Brother No. 1, please."
Number One said nothing and stood with his head bowed. Several soldiers helped it put on a cloak and a hat to hide its face.
