Seeing this situation, Ye Huatong quietly left the room.
Yu Yi then read the second letter, which was signed by his master Jia Xu. The content was: I miss you very much after saying goodbye to Wancheng. I recently learned that I returned to Daoxiang Village, presumably for a trip to Yunnan. Now Cao Cao is holding the emperor to order The princes, Yuan Shao in Hebei has been cut off, there will be a big battle in the south, and the disciples can gallop to their heart's content. Although I have taken refuge with Cao Cao, I can also be the eyes and ears. After he returned to Xudu, I heard that 5,000 men and horses were divided from the direction of Jizhou to attack Daoxiang Village. The general at the head was Le Jin. I hope to be vigilant and strengthen his spirit. It is just right. Training.
After reading the contents of the letter, I learned that Master Jia Xu wanted to be his eyes and ears. As early as the early stage, Yu Yi had arranged for a spy code-named red to lurk in Xuchang to provide some information. Later, after Yu Yi entered Daoxiang Village, the two of them After losing contact, Yu Yi's last order was to stay lurking and not come out.
At this time, Jia Xu was preparing to take over this job. Yu Yi thought it was a bit risky. Although he was very confident in his master's IQ, there were so many advisers around Cao Cao that they were not efficient lamps. So Yu Yi started writing a reply to the two letters. .
The reply to Liu Bei read: Thank you for taking care of your younger brother despite your busy schedule. I am very grateful. Recently, I have also paid attention to the situation in Xinye. Now the Cao thieves are working hard. In order to balance the relationship between the various forces in Hebei, they need to recuperate. Once the army is If there is sufficient food, Xinye will be the first to bear the brunt. Liu Biao has no good intentions, and Cai Hao is even eyeing the eldest brother. It can be seen that the eldest brother is in a very embarrassing situation. The younger brother watches the sky at night and discovers that great talents are born in Jingzhou. This is a rare opportunity. , The eldest brother should visit Mr. Shui Jing many times to ask for great talents, then the Han Dynasty can prosper. Liu Biao is seriously ill and will die soon. The eldest son Liu Qi will lose power, Cai will take power, and there will be changes in Jingzhou. The eldest brother should not be kind to women, Follow the opportunity and capture Jingzhou as a base. The younger brother will do his best to capture Yunnan, and then plot Sichuan. At that time, our brothers will divide into two groups and attack the Central Plains from Qishan and Jingzhou respectively. The younger brother will go straight to Luoyang, the elder brother will go straight to Xuchang, and Cao Cao will go straight to Xuchang. If the thieves can't look after each other, then the Han Dynasty will be prosperous and great things will be accomplished. Take care of me!
Then he wrote a reply to his master Jia Xu, which read: Thank you for your teachings and concern. My disciple is fine. Everything is still under control. The trip to Yunnan is about to start. It will be difficult, but my disciple is confident. I got the news that Guo Jia, an important counselor of the Cao thieves, passed away in Liaodong. The master has more opportunities to plan, but it should also be noted that counselors such as Xun Yu and Xun You are not good at it, so the master hopes that the idea of being an informant is good. , but you must also pay attention to safety. The disciple has his own ideas and is actively preparing an underground world. I hope the master will take care of it.
After finishing the two letters, it was already noon. Yuyi hurriedly went to Ye Huatong and handed her the reply letter.
When I first came to Daoxiang Village, there were still carrier pigeons that could deliver letters. Later, the carrier pigeons were all slaughtered. Without the tools to deliver letters, they could only rely on human power to run, and Yuyi's two letters could only be kept in the dark.
Ye Huatong felt the thickness of the letter paper and said, "It seems that these letters are very important."
Yuyi nodded, acquiescing, and suddenly Sikong Xuan appeared not far away, rushing towards Yuyi's direction.
Sikong Xuan had been missing in Daoxiang Village for a long time and suddenly appeared. Ye Huatong was very surprised and asked, "What's going on with you? Have you been missing for so long?"
Sikong Xuan was out of breath. It was obvious that he was running too hard. He did not reply to Ye Huatong. He just walked up to Yu Yi and said softly: "Le Jin has already attacked with his troops and horses!"
Yu Yi was shocked after hearing this, and then a spy came to report to Ye Huatong, saying: "We saw dust flying not far away from the sentry tower. At first estimate, the number of people is about five thousand."
Ye Huatong looked at Yuyi, looking a little at a loss.
Yuyi was immediately anxious for everyone to gather in the hall to discuss countermeasures against the enemy.
Sikong Xuan suggested: "Now the enemy is ten times our number. There is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. We should retreat to the rear."
Lei Chunze said: "We can retreat, but as for the people of Daoxiang Village, I have created several powerful weapons that we can try in this battle."
Yu Yi looked at Ye Huatong and asked, "What does Village Chief Ye mean?"
Ye Huatong thought for a moment and said: "These five thousand troops should have been ordered by Cao Cao. Now the whole of Hebei has been included in Cao Cao's strategic territory. Even if we can defeat this team, there will be a steady stream of attacks later. We It can’t be defended.”
Yu Yi looked at Huang Shumin and said, "How many people do we have now?"
Huang Shumin said: "Five hundred elite soldiers, one hundred female soldiers, and fifty flying knife soldiers."
Yu Yi nodded and asked Wu Chenggong again, "Where is our food?"
Wu Chenggong said: "I made a preliminary calculation and it is enough for us to eat for a year."
Yuyi stood up and shouted, "Okay!"
Although our enemies are numerous in number and they are all rabble-rousers, Hebei is a mess. It is impossible to work together in a short period of time. This is exactly the first battle we are facing. We cannot retreat. I think we must fight, and we must fight. The momentum will also help us enter Yunnan later and build our reputation.
Then Yu Yi asked Wu Chenggong to bring a map, pointed at the map and said: "From Julu to our Daoxiang Village, there are mostly plains with no natural dangers. It is indeed difficult to defend, but it is not impossible."
With that said, Yu Yi asked Lei Chunze to take out a small chariot model and said, "This chariot was invented after I entered Lu Buwei's cemetery and encountered the terracotta warriors and horses. It's called Yu's chariot. It has four wheels and is surrounded by spikes. There is a row of shield soldiers on the outside and a row of shooting troops on the inside. It has offense and defense. It is definitely a big killer in the crowd."
Then Lei Chunze also introduced how to use it. However, there are only 4 such vehicles, which is not a lot, but it is enough to deal with the five thousand Cao troops.
After allocating the tanks, Yu Yi pointed to the side of the map and said: "When we wiped out the bandits earlier, this was a hidden forest. Huang Shumin, you can enter it with 300 soldiers, and I will lead 100 soldiers from the front. Fight, wait for the opponent to attack, and use the thick smoke as a signal. You come out from behind, use the chariot in front, and ambush from behind. I'll see how they respond."
So everyone went out to prepare, but Sikong Xuan remained where he was, very worried.
When everyone left and only he and Yu Yi were left, he stepped forward and persuaded: "This battle is not only about dealing with enemies in the front, we also have enemies behind the scenes to deal with."
Yu Yi smiled slightly and said: "Of course I am alert to this. Don't worry, everything is in my plan. You come to see the show."
Sikong Xuan nodded and left the hall, leaving Yu Yi alone.
