Yunqing discussed with several henchmen and generals until noon, and then left them for lunch in the palace.

Back in the backyard, Yun Qing told Yuxi about the results of his discussions with several people. 200,000 horses, 100,000 attacked Shanxi, 100,000 attacked Henan.

Yuxi was a big-hearted person, and he was not frightened by Yunqing's bold idea: "I'm not worried about the grain and grass, but will it be dangerous in this way?" Qu Liangyi and He Ye each had 400,000 horses in their hands. "The disparity of forces is very dangerous.

Yun Qing sneered and said, "Although they have 400,000 horses in their hands, it is estimated that there are less than 100,000 people who are really willing to work for them. "Qu Liangyi and He Ye and others don't say that they are popular with the people, even the soldiers below are also detached from morality to them. This point is the most touching of Yunqing when he hit Maicheng.

Yuxi didn't understand the war, but she could help Yunqing stabilize the rear. In this way, Yunqing has no worries.

Yun Qing said: "I have already given a death order to the Feng army on the side of the West Sea, and I must not let the Northern Capture Barbarians step into the West Sea for half a step, otherwise I will come to see you." "This means that Yuxi doesn't have to worry about the West Sea.

If it was such a big effort as sending 500,000 soldiers and horses to the north five years ago, Yuxi would definitely not feel at ease. But this time, Yuxi is very calm, her and Yunqing's efforts in the army in the past few years have not been in vain: "I'm not worried, but you, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, you must be careful." "Without Yunqing, she is a paper tiger, and she can't stop those people below at all.

Yunqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself." It's you, it's going to be hard again. It was also Yunqing who knew that the northwest was now in an embattled situation, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to send troops to attack Shanxi and Henan. At this point, if he doesn't rush forward, there is only a dead end, and he can't take half a step back for the sake of his wife and children. Otherwise, what awaits their family is only a dead end.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "As long as you and the child are good, no matter how hard I work, it's worth it." ”

Three days later, Yunqing went to Yanzhou with 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the other 50,000 soldiers and horses went directly to Tongguan. It is said that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. However, because of the previous prediction of drought, a large amount of grain was stored in the military camps in Yanzhou and Tongguan. This food, even if it doubles the number of men and horses, will be enough for them to eat for a while.

At this time, Yan Wushuang was asking Meng Nian: "Why hasn't there been any news in the northwest in the past few days?" "It's been three days, and not a single message has come from the northwest, which is really abnormal.

Meng Nian shook his head and said, "The checkpoint is closed, and even the path is guarded." In the northwest, I'm afraid something big has happened. "Their men used flying pigeons to send messages, but all of them who were released were shot. It is also because of the drought for more than four months, most of the birds have died, and those who have not died have already migrated. Otherwise, even if the soldiers in the border city keep an eye on it, there will always be times when they are negligent. Especially at night, it is easier to overlook.

After a pause, Meng Nian said, "Lord Wang, do you think that Yunqing is ready to send troops?" ”

Yan Wushuang didn't think about it and said, "Impossible." This time, the northern captives dispatched 500,000 soldiers and horses, and the northwest is now very dangerous. No matter how bold Yunqing was, he didn't dare to send troops at this time. ”

Meng Nian shook his head and said, "Except for this reason, I can't think of why the northwest suddenly broke off the news." Moreover, Yunqing's use of troops cannot be judged by common sense. "If Yunqing was a person who followed the rules, he would have died a long time ago.

Yan Wushuang said with a solemn face: "Although there are many of the 500,000 soldiers and horses who have just reached adulthood, but in the end, there are 500,000 soldiers and horses, and the northwest of the pond will fall if there is a slight difference, Yunqing really has such a big heart?" ”

Meng Nian said: "Yunqing is not good at planning, but he is handsome, and he is extremely talented in marching and fighting. "Yan Wushuang had a great reputation when he was young, but since the family changed, he has been hiding in Tibet. Yunqing entered the military camp at the age of thirteen, and in the past ten years, he has led his troops to fight hundreds of large and small battles. In the area of leading troops to fight, Yan Wushuang and Yunqing are incomparable.

Yan Wushuang said: "Yes or no, just know in a few days." "If Yunqing is really ready to send troops to occupy Shanxi and other places, the news can't be hidden. In less than three or five days, the news will be coming.

Three days later, Yan Wushuang got the news, saying that Yunqing led 100,000 troops to attack Shanxi, Du Zheng led 100,000 troops to attack Henan, and Xu Zhen led 50,000 troops to attack Hubei.

Meng Nian got the news and said, "Is the news wrong?" "The battle between Yucheng and the West Sea is raging, and now Yunqing has even divided the remaining 200,000 troops into three routes. Either Yunqing is crazy, or the news is wrong.

Yan Wushuang glanced at Meng Nian and said, "Do you think such an important matter can be mistaken?" ”

Meng Nian was silent and said, "Lord Wang, do you think this battle plan will be formulated by the Han clan?" "Yunqing is a general who leads troops to fight, and he will definitely not do such a dangerous thing. Only Han, who doesn't know how to fight, can make such a decision.

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "You are wrong, the battle plan of dividing the troops into three ways must have been formulated by Yunqing." "Han Yuxi acted cautiously, it was impossible to formulate such a dangerous battle plan.

Meng Nian asked, "Lord Wang, then what should we do now?" "The 150,000 horses they transferred from Liaodong arrived yesterday evening.

Yan Wushuang said: "According to the original plan. "Yan Wushuang's original plan was to occupy Hebei first, then Shanxi and Shandong, and then Henan and Anhui.

Meng Nian hesitated for a moment, but did not say anything to refute: "Lord Wang, there is no sign of Yunqing sending troops to attack Shanxi and Henan, I think this matter is a little strange." "The northwest is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and Yunqing's current behavior is tantamount to a desperate gamble. There are no external factors, and Yunqing will not be allowed to make such a decision.

Yan Wushuang fell into deep thought, and after half a sound, he said, "I'm afraid that the news of my troop transfer has already been known to Yunqing and the Han clan. "Shanxi Guanshan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers. If they captured Shanxi, it would be a huge threat to Yunqing and the Han clan. Therefore, when Yunqing got the news, he hurriedly sent troops to seize the opportunity.

At this point, Yunqing really thought wrong. Yunqing had long planned to send troops, but he didn't move because he was afraid of natural disasters and the northern captives. But the training of the soldiers was not relaxed for a day.

Meng Nian said with some worry: "If Shanxi falls into the hands of Yunqing, it will be difficult for us to attack again." ”

Yan Wushuang frowned and said, "How did Yunqing and the Han clan get the news?" Who is this man? "He did it very secretly, and he didn't know much about it.

As soon as Meng Nian heard this, he understood that Yan Wushuang suspected something detailed: "If it is really leaked, then this person is too deeply hidden." ”

Yan Wushuang snorted coldly and said, "No matter how deep I hide, I can dig him out, so that he can't survive and die." ”
