Looking at the fragrant chicken soup in Ye Tie's hand, Ye Ming, who had been thinking hard for a while, couldn't help but feel hungry. He subconsciously took the chicken soup and white flour steamed buns from Ye Tie's hand, and ate one mouthful of chicken soup and one mouthful of steamed buns. stand up,
Ye Mingsheng, who had a stomachache and no clue, asked Ye Tie casually like a ghost:
"Ye Tie, what do you think about the war now?"
"I don't have any opinion. Master, if you ask me to go west, I will go west. If you ask me to go east, I will go east... Even this Khitan prince, Ye Luyan is not as powerful as the rumors say, so Let us kill hundreds of them easily!" Ye Tie said without hesitation at all with a smile:
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Ye Mingsheng, who was drinking chicken soup, was stunned when he heard this. It was like a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, making him realize what he had missed!
He didn't expect Yeluyan!
But this is not actually an omission. After all, according to the latest intelligence, Yeluyan is leading more than 2,000 people to contain Lin Huaiwu's troops at the foot of Xinfa County...
Although there was a reasonable explanation, Ye Mingsheng was still a little uneasy. He eliminated the food in his hands three times, five times and two times, and after replenishing energy for his body, he asked Ye Tie:
"Have the scouts been sent out?"
Although Ye Mingsheng is not a famous general, as he comes from the earth, he attaches great importance to the words "fortify the stronghold and fight the war". Everywhere the army goes, it must set up fortifications and send out scouts to explore the surrounding areas. situation and prepare for the next action.
Although he was a little unclear that his words had such a great impact on his young master, seeing Ye Mingsheng being so serious, Ye Tie also replied seriously:
"The first batch of scouts were sent out when they first set up camp. Counting the time, they should be back soon!"
"Immediately send a group of scouts out, focusing on the northeast. Tell them not to miss any place!" Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Ye Tie looked solemn and did not dare to neglect anything. He quickly went down to complete what Ye Mingsheng told him.
After sending Ye Tie away, Ye Mingsheng's eyes focused on the area northeast of Yaowo Fort on the map. Xinfa County is about two hundred miles away from Yaowo Fort. At the traveling speed of the Khitan cavalry, it was about two to Three days' journey,
It stands to reason that once Yeluyan moves towards Shiquan County and gives up restraining the troops in Xinfa County, then Lin Huaiwu will definitely send someone to send him a message. There is a high probability that he will receive the message before Yeluyan arrives, so he can be prepared. of.
Although this is the normal situation, don’t be afraid of ten thousand in everything, just be afraid of the unexpected...
Ye Tie's words reminded Ye Mingsheng that Ye Luyan had always been very cunning. One of the two Fengzhou commander-in-chiefs before Ye Mingsheng died in Yeluyan's ambush during a battle with the Khitans, and the other He was also defeated at the hands of Yeluyan and was dismissed from office.
How could such a powerful person foil his plan so easily and watch him annihilate two of his generals?
Although he still didn't know what Ye Luyan wanted to do, Ye Mingsheng suddenly had a premonition that a crisis was coming quietly.
If what I think is correct, then I will face a very severe test now...
When he thought of this, Ye Mingsheng was looking forward to seeing the surrounding situation returned by the scouts. He needed this information to make the next judgment.
Ye Mingsheng, who was in the tent, did not wait too long. Half an hour later, Ye Tie came to Ye Mingsheng with a scout covered in blood.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I was waiting to find traces of the Khitan people in a small mountain valley 20 miles away northeast of Yaowo Fort. They were flying silver-headed wolf flags and numbered about three thousand people. After they discovered us, He immediately sent people to hunt him down, and among the five of us brothers, only I came back alive..." His companion was killed, and the grief-stricken scout reported to Ye Mingsheng with tears in his eyes. :
Although he had vaguely guessed the result, Ye Mingsheng's heart sank when he got the affirmative answer. He patted the scout's shoulder heavily and said comfortingly:
"I know, I will avenge my brothers!"
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief..." The scout, covered in blood, could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, and cried to Ye Mingsheng:
After asking Ye Tie to take the heroic scout down to treat his injuries, Ye Mingsheng immediately sent his own soldiers to worry about the generals and held an emergency meeting.
After a cup of tea, He Jingyun, Liang Xuezhang and several other sentry commanders all appeared in Ye Mingsheng's camp.
Feeling everyone's doubts and puzzled looks, Ye Mingsheng knew that the generals must be wondering why he had to hold a meeting so late, so he said straight to the point:
"The scouts just got the information. Silver-headed Langqi and three thousand Khitan people have appeared in a mountain col twenty miles away in the northeast!"
Upon hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, the faces of the generals who had just woken up from their sleep showed expressions of shock.
The wolf is the totem of the Khitan people's faith, and the wolf flag is the symbol of the Khitan army. Among the wolf flags, the golden-headed wolf flag is the most noble, representing the Khitan Khan, while the silver-headed wolf flag is second only to the golden-headed wolf flag. Represents the most valued prince among the Khitan tribe·············
The current owner of the Silver-Headed Wolf Flag among the Khitans is Yeluyan, who is famous in Fengzhou and even in Liaoyang!
Therefore, the appearance of the silver-headed wolf flag, in other words, Yeluyan appeared in Yaowobao!
"Sir, have you confirmed the news from the scouts?"
He Jingyun was the first to react from the surprise. He frowned and asked Ye Mingsheng:
"It hasn't been confirmed yet, but this news was obtained by the scout team after several appointments!" Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:
Ye Mingsheng could understand He Jingyun's disbelief. In fact, he was the same. He couldn't believe that Ye Luyan's actions were so complete, spanning two hundred miles, appearing in front of him from under the county seat of Xinfa County!
Although I don’t know how Ye Luyan did this, it doesn’t matter now!
The only important thing is that this incredible thing really happened!
Yeluyan and three thousand Khitans appeared around Yaowo Fort!
"Sir, if the news is true, then it means that the Khitans have planned it for a long time. I suggest that you take a long-term plan and retreat to Mentougou under the cover of night!" Taking a deep breath, He Jingyun suggested to Ye Mingsheng in a deep voice:
