Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

for several days.

As long as the situation is wild and profitable, begging will not attack the city.

Wei Yuan will lead his troops out of the pass to call for battle.

The key point is that there is indeed no strong general in the Xixia army who can fight with him.

The morale that was originally brought back by Ye Li Yuqi fell again after Wei Yuan's torment.

Jiayou's third year, late May.

Ye Liyu begged to attack the city for more than half a month without making any progress.

Li Xing, the supervisor of the army, thought that he was no different from usual and had not seriously attacked Yanmen, so he wrote a letter to urge him.

You don’t need to think about the content of the letter to know it.

It's just that if Yanmen can't be captured again, then Li Yuanhao, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, will be asked to change the general.

After Yeli Yuqi received the letter, he only glanced at it hastily and then burned it.

"This Li Xing doesn't know how to use soldiers, but he does know how to cause trouble!"

"That's Yanmen! How can it be so easy to conquer the most powerful pass in the Zhou Kingdom? If you say you can conquer it, you can conquer it?"

"."

Some soldiers gritted their teeth after learning the contents of the letter.

Yeli Yuqi only thought that Li Xing was a fool, not like the old fox Li Hao.

If Li Yuanhao really wanted to change his commander, why would he need to send a supervisor?

Just give the order directly!

Besides, a coaching change? Is it worth it?

Just then, a scout came to report,

"According to the investigation by spies, traces of Zhou's army were found in the mountains on the west side of our army."

Hear the sound.

Yeli Yuqi frowned sharply.

Suddenly, he stood up suddenly, came to the sand table, frowned, and said:

"Our army is now at the back of the mountain road. Surrounded by mountains on both sides, there is only one dangerous road that can lead directly to Yanmen."

"And the Zhou army can actually appear in the mountains. They are running for food and grass!"

He understood instantly.

To attack Yanmen from outside the fortress, the only way is the back waist mountain road.

On both sides of the road are mountains.

Of course, if you don’t take this road, you can also pass through the mountains on both sides.

However, the advantages of Xixia and Liao cavalry will be gone.

However, once it works, it can catch Yanmen off guard.

Therefore, Weiyuan has set up watchtowers and beacon towers at the mountains on both sides. As long as traces of enemy troops are found, troops will be sent there immediately.

The Zhou army attached great importance to the mountains on both sides, so naturally the Xixia army also paid attention.

Back then, when Yang Ye went out to fight, he only sent a group of elite troops to garrison Yanmen, while the rest of the army crossed the mountains and surrounded the enemy.

In the end, they attacked from both sides and defeated the Liao army.

From then on, no matter who comes to visit Yanmen, the routes and conditions of the mountains on the left and right sides will be clearly surveyed and investigated.

Ye Li Yuqi didn't think that a few Zhou soldiers would dare to carry out Yang Ye's plan.

A small number of soldiers are hidden in the mountains and are not easy to find, so they are most suitable as surprise troops for raids.

In terms of harassment, the thing that causes the most trouble to the army is food and grass.

Therefore, Ye Li Yuqi believed that the Zhou army was probably heading for his own food and grass.

"I ordered Li Xing to be stationed at the military supply department. How many troops are there?"

Although Yeli Yuqi knew something in his mind, at this juncture, he had to ask.

A soldier responded: "A thousand cavalry, a thousand infantry!"

There are so few troops to guard the food and grass.

The main thing is that the Liao Kingdom attacked Yanmen so many times, but not once did the defenders in Yanmen burn their food and grass.

It is as difficult as going to the sky to get out of seclusion to burn food.

Therefore, even the famous Xixia general Ye Li Yuqi did not think that the Zhou army would really dare to come and burn it.

But now, traces of Zhou Jun soldiers have been discovered

He had to be on tenterhooks again.

If there is really a problem with food and grass, attacking Yanmen will become empty talk.

etc!

Thinking of this, Yeli Yuqi's eyes suddenly lit up.

I didn’t even think about taking down Yanmen!

Once something happens to the army's food and fodder, Supervisor Li will definitely be held responsible.

You can even use this to continue to ask for money, food, and soldiers from Li Yuanhao.

Yeli Yuqi made up his mind and laughed loudly to the soldiers around him:

"The number of Zhou's soldiers discovered by us is only a few hundred."

"But Supervisor Li has two thousand elites there."

"Even if those Zhou soldiers who left Yanmen intend to burn our army's food and grass, I'm afraid they won't have the chance!"

The implication is that he doesn't care about the food and grass matters, and Li Xingai can do whatever he wants.

If, unfortunately, the Zhou army successfully raided the grain and grass, then the culprit would also be Li Jianjun.

After all, if two thousand people can fail against a few hundred people, if he doesn't bear the responsibility, who will?

In other words, if Supervisor Li protects the food and grass, it will be treated as if nothing happened.

In the big tent, many generals did not take the small enemy force of several hundred people seriously.

But there are one or two generals who feel that it is not safe.

"Commander, Li Xing has no experience in leading troops in combat. If he fails to guard the food and grass, it will affect the entire army."

"Please give an order from the commander-in-chief to send the last general to the granary to help Supervisor Li's army."

Yeli Yuqi snorted coldly,

"Li Jianjun is Li Hao's eldest son. Who is Li Hao? He is a capable person who has been known for eight hundred years and five hundred years afterward!"

"It is said that a tiger father has no dog sons. If you don't believe Li Jianjun, don't you still believe Mr. Li?"

No one dared to say anything more about this.

——

By the way, the five hundred people who left Yanmen Pass were personally led by Chen Aniu.

This Chen A Niu followed Wei Yuan during the Yanmen War until now.

Being with Wei Yuan, he not only learned some military tactics, but also learned some words. He changed his name to ‘Chen Yuanzhi’.

It is only one character different from ‘Chen Qingzhi’.

Yuanzhi means to be far-sighted. Chen Aniu felt that he was stupid, so he gave himself such a name.

At this moment, in the mountains and ridges dozens of miles outside Yanmen Pass.

Chen Aniu was organizing the army to rest.

At this time, a soldier came up to him and asked: "Captain Chen, we can obviously cover up the traces of the fire, why do you keep it? Won't this let the Xia army find our tracks?" Chen Aniu laughed and said, "I'm too stupid to tell which one is the Xixia army's granary." "But as long as we deliberately expose our position, the Xixia army can infer how many people we have and what we are going to do through the traces of our cooking." "In this way, wherever they send reinforcements, that is their real granary." During marches and battles, generally speaking, multiple granary locations will be set up to confuse the enemy. The Xixia army did not think that the Zhou army could go out of Yanmen to get their granaries, but they also made a fake one. It was in the mountains not far away. "Besides, we are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests. It is not easy for them to find us." "The cavalry can't spread out here. They have no advantage. We walk and hide. If they draw a large number of enemy troops to find us, it can also reduce the pressure on General Wei." Listen to Chen Aniu say so much. The soldier immediately praised: "Captain, I feel that you have the potential to become a good general in the world!" Chen Aniu shook his head and said with a self-blame: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am too stupid. General Wei taught me a lot, but in the end, I can't remember much." They hid in the mountains for six days, but there was no sign that Yeli Yuqi had transferred troops to other places. Chen Aniu blamed himself, "I am too stupid, really too stupid, too self-righteous! How could my poor tricks be hidden from the old fox Yeli Yuqi?" Someone asked, "Captain, what should we do now?" Chen Aniu thought for a while and said, "According to the scouts, there are two granaries set up by the Western Xia army." "The first one is fifty miles away from us, in a relatively flat area." "The second one is in the north, about twenty miles away from us, at the foot of the mountain." "If it were me, I would definitely set up the granary far away from the army, where it is not There are forest trails on the mountain road, which is convenient for transporting food and grass. "But I'm too stupid. Even I can think of it, how can the Xixia army not think of it?" "So, I guess that in order to prevent us from burning their food, the enemy must have moved the real granary to the foot of the mountain. Although it is not easy to deliver food on the mountain road, it is safe!" This speech completely convinced everyone, "Captain, at this moment, you look like General Wei who is strategizing!" Chen Aniu, who is burly and comes from a farming family, smiled and said, "I'm too stupid. I just don't want to discredit General Wei." ——Six days ago. The real granary of the Xixia army is located on the banks of the Sanggan River. This is an open area. Li Xing received a message from Yeli Yuqi, asking him to protect the food and grass. However, Li Xing felt that this matter was not that simple, and said to a confidant who followed him:

"He asked me to look after the grain and grass, and said that the Zhou army might come to burn the grain, but he didn't send anyone to me. What does that mean?"

The confidant blurted out: "Sir, aren't there two thousand soldiers here?"

Two thousand?

What's the use of two thousand?

Li Xing frowned and said: "Strange, too strange."

"He didn't send me soldiers, it seems that he doesn't value the grain and grass."

"If the grain and grass are really burned by the Zhou army, what's the benefit?"

Thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned, and then came back to his senses:

"I understand!"

"He did it on purpose, he wanted to get rid of me with the Zhou army's hand!"

"At this moment, the Zhou army must know that the real granary is here with us!"

"Send an order, quickly, order people to transfer the grain and grass to the foot of Nanshan!"

The confidant was stunned, transfer the grain?

This place is close to the river!

If the Zhou army really dares to destroy the grain, it is estimated that it will also be a fire attack. The river is next to it, so why are you afraid of this?

However, once they were moved to the foot of the mountain, it was just the beginning of spring, the weather was dry, and a big fire dared to set the whole mountain on fire.

Is this order a bit stupid?

What a clerk under Li Xing could think of, Li Xing couldn't think of?

He simply thought that the Zhou army would not know his plan to move the grain.

As soon as the order was passed, a large number of civilians and soldiers began to toss.

Li Xing saw that the transferred grain was relatively fast, and he was relieved and said:

"If there is a problem with the military grain, I am the first to blame."

"Yeli Yuqi, you are really well-planned!"

"Fortunately, I was one step ahead and moved the grain in advance!"

"It seems that I, Li Xing, also have the potential to become a good general in the world!"
