Nan Feng City
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the current table in Uqaida instantly shattered.
"That's unreasonable. This damn Xu family's army is obviously playing tricks on us!" Ugeda said angrily: "By the way, there are also those Ma Guanxing, Zhang Feng, and Xu Que. They all deserve to die!"
At this moment, Ugeda is getting more and more angry because he has never seen anyone fighting like this. Instead of fighting you head-on, he will go around and steal the house. Who can bear this!
"My lord, do we need to negotiate with Zheyang City? After all, General Tian Heng is still in their hands. It would be best if we can redeem him with money. If we can't redeem him, we can also inquire about the current situation of Zheyang City." Cang Qi asked, cupping his fists.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. It would be better if I could redeem it." Ugueda said.
Just when Ugeda was thinking about how to solve the problem at hand, two figures walked in from outside.
Seeing the person coming, all the generals knelt down one after another.
"See His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Get up." Kang Xingye raised his hand and sat down on the main seat.
"When I came here, I heard about it. I wouldn't blame anyone. If I wanted to blame him, I'd blame Tian Heng for being impulsive." Kang Xingye said calmly: "However, things are also strange. Who would have expected that there is a mechanism inside this city gate?" Numerology."
"Your Highness, it is because of your humble position and incompetence that you fell into the other party's scheme." Ugeda apologized quickly.
"You don't know what the crime of the Duke is." Kang Xingye said: "How is the catapult being renovated?"
"The eighty-four catapults have all been tested and are fully ready for use." Qilul stepped forward and answered with cupped fists.
Qilul was the general who attacked the enemy, and he was also the only person under Uqaida who knew how to modify the catapult.
"Very good, let's start the delivery tomorrow morning." Kang Xingye said with satisfaction.
"Your Highness, shall we make a surprise attack at night?" Ugueda asked.
"Do you think the Xu family's army doesn't know how to defend themselves at night?" Kang Xingye asked with a smile.
"My subordinates think that we can give it a try. If it succeeds, that would be the best. If..."
"My lord, you are making things too simple. The person who can fool you all around doesn't know how to defend yourself at night?"
Kang Xingye's words made Ugueda react. Yes, anyone who can fool them will definitely fight...
"Your Highness, what should we do?" Uqaida asked for instructions.
"If the reed is not straight, straighten it!" Kang Xingye recalled Sun Boran's words when he came here before, and said: "A normal attack, without any means!"
"Yes, I understand."
Just as Kang Xingye was listening to reports from various military formations, a scout quickly ran into the room.
"Report!" The scout knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to the Duke that the two armies of Dayan have gathered at Yejiao Ridge."
"I know, let's go down..."
"Slow down!" Kang Xingye immediately stopped the scout: "Can you find out where the food and fodder for the troops in Dayan are?"
The scout looked at Kang Xingye and then at Uqaida.
"Tell me, if I ask you anything, just say it!"
"Yes!" the scout clasped his fists and said, "The soldiers and horses of Dayan are carrying dry food with them, but according to our scout's guess, they are likely to ask for food and grass from Liangxian and Jixian in the rear."
After hearing the scout's answer, Kang Xingye waved his hand and then began to think deeply.
Kang Xingye was very familiar with Dayan's army operations, and he also knew that they would transport the grain and grass used along the way to a place in advance, but what he didn't expect was that the two armies would actually throw the grain and grass baggage into the county behind. Here, doesn’t this allow him to easily complete Sun Boran’s instructions?
Yes, when Kang Xingye came, Sun Boran told him three things. The first was to destroy the food, grass and baggage of the two armies of Dayan. The second was to study the defensive strength of Zheyang City, and then Find the weak points quickly, and the last point is to wait for both things to be done before you can implement it quickly!
"Your Highness, do you have any plans?" Uqaida asked.
"Not yet. We'll see when we get outside Zheyang tomorrow." Kang Xingye stood up and said.
"Yes, I will respectfully send you off to Your Highness."
Uqaida and all the generals stood up and saluted.

When the two armies of Dayan met, they also began to discuss strategies for the first time.
Compared to the Xu Mansion in Zheyang County, this place is much deserted. There are only four people, and they are the main generals of both sides.
"Brothers of the Cao family, it's been a hard journey." Guan Yuhui quickly became polite.
"It's not hard work. All the troops are working for Your Majesty. It's the two brothers who are doing the hard work." Cao Qingzhou quickly flattered.
Guan Yuhui lamented: "It was a bad start, but fortunately Beimang withdrew its troops. This can be considered a blessing."
Cao Qingfeng was a little confused, why did he start talking about this?
"The commander bravely repulsed the Bei Mang army, why did he have a bad start?" Cao Qingzhou pretended to be surprised.
The Guan brothers smiled knowingly when they heard this. Sure enough, if the Cao brothers are on the road, the memorial will be easy to handle...
What they didn't know was that when their memorial was sent to the court, the entire Great Yan Kingdom regarded them as a joke, because Ma Guanxing had given all the credit to the Xu family, and even assigned General He Xu to He also wrote about how to besiege Nanfeng City. As for the captured Beimang general Tian Heng, Xu Que did not dare to let him write it. After all, this matter still needs to be discussed...
When the two Cao brothers saw the faces of the Guan brothers, they immediately understood. However, they really did not intend to participate in this matter. After all, there were risks involved. If they made the wrong step, they would be doomed. .
"Guan Shuai, if we march tomorrow, should we re-mobilize food and grass?" Cao Qingzhou asked for instructions.
"Well, when the army arrives here, there is not much food and grass left. It is time to dispatch some. How about I leave this matter to you?" Guan Yuhui said and took out his food and grass order.
After seeing this transfer order, the two Cao brothers felt much better. After all, the business was not a loss. They gave you a favor and they gave you food and grass...
Cao Qingzhou took the order with both hands: "Please rest assured, Commander. In a moment, my subordinates will order the mobilization of grain and grass, and ensure that the grain and grass will be transported to the army before dawn tomorrow."
"Brother Cao, you're welcome. After we regain Nanfeng Prefecture, I will treat you to a drink from the Yellow River!" Guan Yuhui patted Cao Qingzhou on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you so much, Guan Shuai!" Cao Qingzhou and Cao Qingfeng clasped their fists together in thanks.
They are not ignorant people. They have heard the name of Yellow River Drunk for a long time. However, the price is too expensive and there is no place to buy it, so they can only listen to it. Unexpectedly, the Guan brothers can actually get it. I also plan to invite them to drink together. Wouldn't that be a joy?
"Guan Shuai, do you plan to take Nanfeng City directly? Or..." Cao Qingzhou didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already clear. He just wanted to know how Guan Yuhui wanted to fight and how he planned to fight.
"Nanfeng City is heavily guarded by Beimang. It will not be easy to capture this city. I plan to take a look at the defensive strength of Zheyang City first. If possible, I plan to start from Linxian. After all, that is where Beimang goes south. A big move."
Cao Qingzhou didn't say anything, but he really agreed in his heart. He didn't expect that Guan Yu Hui was also a person who didn't like taking risks.
Saying that Linxian is a big move made by Bei Mang Nan... Let's talk about this here. If Bei Mang finds out, they may not pay attention to them. How can a mere border town become a big banner?
"Then how many days do we plan to travel?"
Cao Qingzhou's questioning was very clever. He would not ask about the final result, but asked something that was irreconcilable. No matter what Yu Hui said, he would always agree.
"Tomorrow we will arrive a hundred miles southeast of Zheyang City. Let's take a look there first. If possible, we can take a detour to Linxian County. After all, we have a place to stay, which is better than sleeping in the open air this night." Guan Yuhui said.
"Okay, then my subordinates will go collect food and grass now." Cao Qingzhou and Cao Qingfeng stood up and clasped their fists.
After seeing off the two Cao brothers, the Guan brothers looked at each other and smiled. They both understood that now, they could sit back and relax!
