A team of more than 1,000 people finally slowly hit the road.

Li Xin once led an army of tens of thousands of people, and only brought more than 1,000 people for him, so he didn't have to think about it, and he was a lazy person, and he never thought of doing it himself, so he happily handed over the command of these forbidden troops to Ye Mao.

This going to Jimen Pass is the beginning of the little grandfather Ye Mao taking over the Ye family in an all-round way, and it is reasonable to take this opportunity to familiarize him with the feeling of leading soldiers.

At this time, it was already the end of summer, but the weather was still very hot, the group got up early all the way to hurry, approached the noon break, and then continued to rush in the afternoon when the sun was not very strong, slowly moving towards the direction of Jimen Pass.

Half a month later, they were already more than 700 miles away from the capital, and in the afternoon of this day, Li Xin was just about to lie down and rest for a while, take a nap, and the little grandfather in armor hurriedly broke into Li Xin's handsome tent with a military report, bowed his head and clenched his fists: "General, there is a battle report from Yunzhou City!" ”

Li Xin was originally sleepy-eyed, and was completely drowsy by this sentence, he sat up on the marching bed, stretched out his hand to take the battle report in Ye Mao's hand, and asked while dismantling it: "Is it from Yunzhou City, or from the capital?" ”

Geographically speaking, their current location is undoubtedly closer to Yunzhou City, but according to the rules, Yunzhou City must send a war report to the capital first, and there is no reason to send it to the army that escorts supplies first.

Ye Mao lowered his head and said, "It was sent from the capital." ”

Li Xin nodded, and secretly calculated in his heart.

According to the speed of four hundred miles, at least four or five days have passed since this battle report of Yunzhou City.

He opened the envelope, took out the paper, unfolded it, looked at it, and placed it on the table.

Ye Mao lowered his head and said, "General, what's going on over there in Yunzhou City?" ”

The Marquis of Jing'an casually threw the letter to him.

"See for yourself."

Ye Maocai took the letter paper, and after reading it in detail, the big man's expression was a little complicated.

"The family army has won a big victory."

The content of the military newspaper is very simple, about ten days ago, a small ethnic group in the Yuwen Qigui tribe, which is closest to Yunzhou City, led people to loot a small village in the hinterland of Yunzhou City, killing hundreds of people, not to mention, but also robbing countless grains, after this incident came out, the seed Xuantong stationed in Yunzhou City was furious, and immediately sent people to Yuwen Qigui to question, but was denied by Yuwen Qigui, and the two sides were very stiff.

Six days ago, the Yunzhou army finally couldn't hold back, led the army to conquer the Yuwen Qigui Division, the two sides collided head-on on the grassland, and finally the Yunzhou Army led by the eldest son of Xuantong won a big victory, Yuwen Qigui suffered heavy casualties, and thousands of Qingzhuang were killed and wounded, and they had to admit defeat to Yunzhou City and the Great Jin Dynasty.

After this battle, Chong Xuan Tong wrote to the imperial court and asked how to deal with the Yuwen Qigui Division.

Seeing that Ye Mao had finished reading the battle report, Li Xin asked lightly, "Do you see anything?" ”

The little grandfather frowned and thought for a while, and said, "The family army is really powerful. ”

Marquis Jing'an squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "They are fighting on the grassland." ”

No matter what time it was, even when Ye Sheng led the troops forty years ago, the Great Jin Dynasty was not very able to fight cavalry with the Northern Zhou Dynasty in an open place, most of them were mainly attacking the city and plundering the land, and the Northern Zhou people at that time were no longer good at riding horses and archery, and secondly, they also had to defend the city and defend the land, which somewhat limited their play, so they were driven out of Jimen Pass by Ye Sheng.

But forty years have passed, not to mention that they have recovered the peak combat power of the year when they went south, but at least they have also recovered, and at this time, the army of the planters is fighting with them on the open grassland, not between the cities......

The strangest thing is that the family army also won......

Li Xin stretched out his finger and pointed to this inconspicuous-looking military report, and said slowly: "Either the Yuwen tribes have been weakened to a certain point, or the strength of the family army is far beyond our imagination, otherwise ......"

Before Li Xin could continue, Ye Mao, the little grandfather standing on the side, took over the conversation and continued: "Otherwise, many people in the farming family should have died. ”

Li Xin looked at Ye Mao with some satisfaction, and said with a smile: "You will also think about things now, it is not easy." ”

Ye Mao sighed: "I may not know much about the things on the side, but the things on the battle formation were taught to me by my grandfather since I was a child, and I can guess some of them." ”

"This battle report looks good, but it doesn't write about the casualties of the headquarters, just say that there is a big victory, and there must be something greasy in it."

"However, the family army should not lie about the military situation, so most of them really won, but ...... The win was miserable. ”

Li Xin patted his thigh rhythmically, and said lightly: "What's worse is that this beautiful looking military report has been sent to the capital and has been seen by His Majesty and those officials and masters. ”

The problem is that Li Xin went north to take over the Jimen Pass defenders, just to take over the things behind the Yunzhou Army, and after reading this battle report, the court will soon urge the Zhenbei Army to use troops against the Yuwen Troops.

Speaking of this, the Marquis of Jing'an glanced at the battle report that looked snow-white, but was actually stained red with blood, and showed a mocking smile on his face: "If you don't write about the casualties of our army, you can also do it thanks to their army." ”

"What's even more bizarre is that the imperial court didn't find fault with this either."

Ye Mao held the junior salute, stood next to Li Xin with his hands down, lowered his head and asked, "What does the general mean?" ”

"What can I mean?"

Li Xin said helplessly: "Since they have come up with this military report, and the imperial court has also believed it, then we have to believe it, no matter what, Yunzhou City has really won." ”

"And after the thistle gate is closed, let's think about it in the long run."

Saying that, Li Xin walked out of the tent, looked up at the sky, and found that it was already the right time, the weather was not so hot, he turned back to Ye Mao and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, the army will move out, and continue to go north." ”

Ye Mao bowed and clenched his fists, and shouted in a deep voice: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Marquis Jing'an patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I received a letter from Senior Brother Ye a few days ago, he has already left from Jimen Pass, let's walk one or two hundred miles north, we should be able to meet him." ”

Hearing Li Xin mention his father, Ye Mao's body shook slightly, and he bowed his head and said.

"The last general...... Got it. ”
