After waiting for about a stick of incense, Yeluyan, who was waiting quietly in the tent, finally got what he wanted.
"Prince, the scout is back, Ye Mingsheng's troops did not escape!"
Walking into Yeluyan's felt tent, Xiao Xiu bowed to Yeluyan, stroked his chest and said:
Upon hearing the news, Yeluyan, who was dressed in military uniform and ready to lead his troops in pursuit, had a flash of surprise in his eyes and continued to ask:
"Since he didn't run away, what is Ye Mingsheng doing now? Is he still sleeping under the quilt?"
"Ye Mingsheng's troops are reinforcing the fortifications. They have dug three deep and wide trenches in front of the stronghold, and they have also inserted spears in the trenches..." Xiao Xiu The report said:
After listening to Xiao Xiu's words, Yeluyan showed his madness, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly:
"I haven't noticed yet, this Ye Mingsheng is a fucking tough guy!"
"You've come to this point, and you still want to compete with me? He doesn't even look at how much he weighs?
"Send the order to break through the Zhou army camp tomorrow. No one is allowed to kill Ye Mingsheng for me. I will capture him alive and disembowel him with my own hands to see how hard his bones are!"
····················
····················
After making the decision to give it a go, Ye Mingsheng fully delegated the tactical level and the specific operations of how to strengthen the camp to Liang Xuezhang, a professional who was good at defense.
Although he boldly delegated power, Ye Mingsheng did not have much leisure. Soon after finishing the combat meeting, he once again welcomed an unexpected but reasonable person in his camp... ······
Seeing He Jingyun returning to the camp, Ye Mingsheng greeted Ye Dong:
"Come and give General He a cup of good tea!"
"It's not necessary for you to have tea, my lord. The military situation is urgent. I have something to say to you as a humble official!"
He Jingyun didn't hesitate at all and rejected Ye Mingsheng's kindness. At the combat meeting just now, he had something to say to Ye Mingsheng, but considering that everyone was there at the time, Ye Mingsheng was everyone's boss.
Therefore, he was afraid that Ye Mingsheng would not be able to step down if his words came out. He Jingyun also swallowed his words back in his stomach. When he returned, the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable saying it. Even if it was for the lives of these thousands of soldiers, he would have to do it. If so, tell Ye Mingsheng!
Without waiting for Ye Mingsheng to answer, He Jingyun continued speaking directly from his heart:
"Sir, although Qumaling is only more than a hundred miles away from Yaowobao, most of these more than a hundred miles are rugged mountainous areas. Even if Commander Yuan got the order, he would rush over without stopping and wade through the water. It will take at least three days!”
"Although Commander Lin from Xinfa County is relatively close, the flat terrain along the way makes it easy to be attacked by Khitan cavalry, and their speed is not very fast."
"The most important point is that although Commander Liang is good at defending, we are located in the plains and we have no city to rely on. With only those few trenches, we really can't resist the Khitans for long... ··”
He Jingyun, who had always been calm and composed when he said these words, was also full of anxiety. It could be seen that this powerful general who bravely broke into the Kipchak mission alone was really worried about the current situation and was not optimistic about Ye. What will happen next for Ming Sheng and the others?
Hearing all these words of He Jingyun, and feeling the sincerity in He Jingyun's words, Ye Mingsheng smiled slightly, then poured a cup of tea for He Jingyun with his own hands, then looked at He Jingyun and said seriously:
"General He, I'm glad you can tell me this!"
"General, since you can tell me frankly, I might as well tell you a secret. I, Ye Mingsheng, am also a person who is afraid of death!"
Ye Mingsheng's statement made He Jingyun a little confused at first. He didn't know what Ye Mingsheng was talking about in the mist, but after careful consideration, he faintly noticed something from Ye Mingsheng's words. But there seems to be nothing...
After pondering for a moment, He Jingyun tentatively asked Ye Mingsheng:
"Sir, could it be that Commander Yuan and Commander Lin have already taken action in advance and reinforcements will arrive tomorrow?"
Under He Jingyun's hopeful gaze, Ye Mingsheng also poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip of the fragrant Tieguanyin in the celebration cup. Ye Mingsheng shook his head and said lightly:
"Can't make it! Didn't you already say? They need at least three days..."
"So at least for these three days, we have to rely on ourselves!"
Ye Mingsheng's words suddenly turned the hope in He Jingyun's eyes into disappointment. Just now, he really thought that Ye Mingsheng could predict the situation, strategize, and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. He gave Ye Luyan a game within a game and turned defeat into victory in an instant.
Now Ye Mingsheng's answer can be said to be that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!
"Sir, without reinforcements, it is almost impossible for us to defend for three days under the attack of the Khitan cavalry!" After restraining his disappointment, He Jingyun continued to persuade Ye Mingsheng:
"General He, I know you have good intentions, and I appreciate your analysis and judgment, but what I want to say is that I will not joke with my own life, let alone everyone's life. I make this decision When I did it, there was no impulse at all, and it was carefully considered!”
"General He, don't worry. Ye Luyan is definitely too smart this time. He has no chance. The process may be a little more difficult, but we will definitely be the ones who laugh in the end!"
Ye Mingsheng said with a smile. Although his tone did not change at all, his words were full of unquestionable affirmation.
Although I don’t know where Ye Mingsheng got the courage to be so confident, seeing that Ye Mingsheng, as the coach, is talking about this, He Jingyun, as a general, is embarrassed to say anything. After all, he I have already told Ye Mingsheng everything I need to say...
After giving Ye Mingsheng a deep look, He Jingyun stood up and raised his hands to Ye Mingsheng and said:
"May God bless you sir! May God bless the Zhenwu Army!"
Ye Mingsheng smiled and nodded.
Seeing that the conversation was not going well, He Jingyun didn't stay with Ye Mingsheng any longer and left alone.
Looking at He Jingyun's solitary figure as he left, Ye Mingsheng shook his head slightly. He knew that under normal circumstances, what He Jingyun just said was right and was not an exaggeration at all. It would be difficult for the three thousand soldiers and horses under his command to fight in the plain terrain. Lasted three days under the attack of thousands of Khitan cavalry!
Two days is basically the limit...
