The next day, Prince Qin’s Mansion.
Ye Cheng is reporting the situation.
After hearing this, Gu Xue said with some confusion: "Master Ye, do you need to kill so many people?"
She has a kind nature and is somewhat soft-hearted.
Ye Cheng said sternly: "Back to the empress, if this is not the case, there will be many businessmen profiteering and speculating, making it impossible for us to distinguish. We can only suppress them with force. Next, anyone who dares to take the lead will be dealt with carefully."
"Okay." Gu Xue nodded.
On the other side, Su Yi mobilized the Shu army and was rushing to Ningyang.
He had the military talisman in hand and was appointed by King Xiao Yuan. After Lian Xiao received the news, he worked non-stop.
On the way, he couldn't help but said: "Commander Su, regarding the Ningyang war, I have wanted to mobilize troops for a long time, but without Wang Ling, I did not dare to transfer the troops without permission. It's fine now. I just don't know what Commander Su will do next." How to plan, whether to divide the troops at Shanyu Pass."
Su Yi said: "There is no problem at Shanyuguan for the time being. Let's attack Huangfu Ye first."
A few days later, the army arrived in Ningyang, about 60,000 men, including Guan Kui's troops, for a total of 110,000 troops.
The current governor of Ningyang County is named Lu Yang. He was promoted from the county magistrate of Shuzhong County and is in his forties.
When he learned that Su Yi's army had arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and went to greet them personally.
If Ningyang was defeated by Wu's army, then he, the county guard, would be in trouble. It was conceivable that he would not be nervous.
The two sides met outside the city. Lu Yang was dressed in official uniform and had a smile on his face. He couldn't help but cupped his hands and said, "Oh, General Su has arrived. I hope Ning Yang will have nothing to worry about."
Su Yi turned over and dismounted, first returned the gift with his hand, and then said: "Master Lu, you don't have to worry about the war. I just don't know how Ningyang's material reserves are?"
"This..." Lu Yang showed a troubled look: "Due to the King's attack on Liang, the Prime Minister transferred a lot of grain and grass from Shu. Ningyang, with the existing granaries and treasury, may not be able to sustain it for long."
"What about Yong'an?" Su Yi asked again, Yong'an County is not far from here.
Lu Yang said: "Li Minggui, the governor of Yong'an County, is very cunning. He has been trying to achieve political success in the past two years. He has been eyeing a certain official position in the court. It is difficult to ask him to bleed."
Su Yi's face darkened: "I am not interested in your official affairs. Your Majesty has already issued an order to reserve reserves for wartime. All local officials must cooperate with military operations. You can write a letter and tell him that this is what I am doing." It’s an order to him! If there is no food and grass within half a month, military aircraft will be delayed and military law will be imposed!"
Local county governor, from the third grade.
Who is Su Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Qin State? During the war, he can of course give marching orders.
Even though he was the head of a county, if Li Minggui really dared to play tricks, he would really dare to kill him with a military order.
Qin's military orders are no joke.
When he heard this, Lu Yang was immediately startled, and then hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, I will send the letter immediately."
After that, he asked again: "Will the general not enter the city?"
"I won't go. The war is tight and we need to rush to the front line. I'll leave it to Mr. Lu to handle transportation problems at the rear." Su Yi said.
"No matter what, these are what lower officials should do." Lu Yang said with a smile.
Another day later, Su Yi arrived at the military front line.
Guan Kui is stationed here. It is a one-sided pass, not a city. It is equivalent to the gate on the lower right side of Qin State.
After the rendezvous, the commander-in-chief of the entire army was naturally Su Yi. Without any nonsense, he immediately summoned the generals and held a brief military discussion in order to understand and grasp the current battle situation.
At the meeting place, the generals were on both sides. Su Yi was in the command position and said straight to the point: "General Guan, let's talk about the situation first."
"Yes!" Guan Kui said: "Wu's army of two hundred thousand, led by General Huangfu Ye, approached by water. After landing, they conducted two strong attacks on our garrison, but failed. Now they are stationed thirty miles outside the pass to rest."
"How's the damage?" Su Yi asked again.
"The two battles between Wu's army were mostly testing, so the losses on both sides were not serious. Our troops had more than 1,600 wounded and 900 soldiers killed."
"Yes." Su Yi nodded, and then began to think about it.
Now we still have nearly 110,000 troops. Although the enemy has 200,000 troops, in Su Yi's view, this gap is not actually big.
He has a characteristic when leading troops. He likes to fight annihilation battles, but he is not good at defending.
Seeing him deep in thought, none of the generals dared to disturb him. It was not until a while later that Lian Xiao couldn't help but say: "Commander Su, do you have any military strategy?"
Su Yi glanced at him first, then shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say now, but when the four countries attacked our Qin Dynasty, Huangfu Ye was in Ningyang and was severely defeated by our army. In his heart, he was somewhat dissatisfied. Resentful, King Wu used him as his commander this time and attacked Ningyang in the same way. It was obvious that he wanted him to realize his shame and become brave again. Therefore, Huangfu Ye's desire to win must be extremely strong."
After listening to what he said, the generals couldn't help but look at each other.
Su Yi added: "Will they attack the city tomorrow? Let's see first."
He was studying Huangfu Ye, who was also studying him.
Wu Jun camp.
A general said: "According to the intelligence, the Qin State has appointed Su Yi as commander, who is fully responsible for the Qin Army's defensive war. Judging from the distribution of the opponent's troops, there are 40,000 at Shanyu Pass, 50,000 at Yiyang, and there should be 50,000 at Ningyang. The largest number is one hundred thousand."
"It seems that the Qin army has put its main energy on our side." Another general said.
Huangfu Ye said: "The Chu army was restrained by the Xuan army and had too much time to take care of themselves, so don't count on them. There is no problem with the Qin army's initial deployment."
As he spoke, he added: "Su Yi, a famous general of the Qin State. Even the King of Qin has praised his military talents several times, so he should not be underestimated. He likes to take risks in his military use, does not follow common sense, and is unpredictable. He is very good at fighting, and what he is best at is dividing his troops to encircle and annihilate them."
Hearing this, Wu Jun's deputy general said: "But general, our army's strength is now twice that of the enemy's, and the enemy's troops are huddled in the city gates and have no intention of fighting. An encirclement and annihilation battle may be ignored."
"The battlefield situation will change according to the battle situation. Although it is impossible for the Qin army to do this now, we still have to try to avoid terrain battles with Su Yi." Huangfu Ye said cautiously.
Outside Ningyang Pass, there are plains, mountains, and hills, and behind them, there are waterways.
Early the next morning.
Huangfu Ye led his troops to the city.
He was riding a war horse, right in front of the crowd, with a continuous army behind him.
After lightly hitting the horse's belly, Huangfuye looked up after reaching the point where the city was under the arrow.
In the middle of the city, Su Yi was wearing a general's armor, holding a steaming steamed bun in his hand, and gestured to Huangfu Ye:
"General Huangfu, have you eaten this early in the morning?"
As he spoke, he took a bite and said vaguely:
"It is really a bad idea to attack the city gates by force. I would like to advise the general to go back and study the tactics first. It will not be too late to come back..."
