Yuqing can probably understand Li Rui's eagerness, at this time it is the junction of late autumn and early winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that there will be no chance to fight with the enemy this year, and then looking at Yuan Fang's expression, Yuqing can see that Yuan Fang, a layman, obviously ignores this factor, and has the heart to remind him, but there are outsiders present who don't want to lose Yuan Fang's face, so they have to wait for the opportunity to talk to Yuan Fang again.

Li Rui was quite excited, pulled Yuan Fang to the map for a while, pointing and spitting, and said his thoughts in detail, Yuan Fang nodded again and again after hearing this, Li Rui's plan can be said to be very bold, planning to divide the troops into three routes, the main force in the middle of Yunfu County and Yanhai County, the other two roads are mainly cavalry, stationed in the flanks of the two parts of the enemy army, the Chinese army is facing the enemy outside Yunfu County, the main task is to move and harass, and if there is a chance, you can also cut off the other party's supply line, Forcing the opponent to divide his troops into battle, his own front and rear flanking attacks gradually encroached, weakening the opponent's forces.

As for the 50,000 Imperial troops in Yanhai County, they were pinned down by another cavalry unit, and even if they were defeated, they would slow down their march to the greatest extent possible, so as to buy more time for the Chinese army to transfer or make other deployments.

Yuqing looked at Li Rui's deduction, frowned and said: "General Li's plan is good, but the quality requirements for each army are too high, don't forget, most of us are new soldiers, the first time we go to the battlefield, it is inevitable that the enemy will be staggered, no matter which unit is bitten by the enemy, it will be doomed, I don't know what General Li's plan is for this?" ”

Li Rui smiled slightly and said: "This is easy to do, the Dongzhou Army has been fighting all year round, and nothing like that should happen, this plan can be completed by our Dongzhou Army." ”

Yuqing frowned when she heard this, this Eastern Expedition was mainly based on Yuan Fang, but Li Rui's statement was to make the Dongzhou Army the main force, which made Yuqing's heart a little uncomfortable, but there was no way to refute it, just like she just said, if this plan is implemented, the three roads must be experienced generals and troops, otherwise it is likely to backfire in the event of an accident.

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Fang asked in a deep voice: "General Li, if you follow your plan, how many soldiers and horses will be needed, and how will the troops be allocated?" ”

Li Rui's eyes lit up, and he said eloquently: "The containment troops on both flanks need at least 20,000 cavalry corps, and the main force of the Chinese army needs at least 20,000, and it is best to be mainly heavy infantry, and then a small number of light cavalry and other arms will be almost the same, of course, it would be better if there were more heavy weapons such as crossbows, in that case, we can even try to attack the enemy's camp." Yuan Fang nodded and was silent again.

After a long time, Yuan Fang took a deep breath and said, "Let's stop here today, everyone go back to rest, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Li Rui, Yuqing and Ren Fei were all stunned when they heard this, Yuan Fang looked very interested just now, why did it look like nothing had happened in a blink of an eye? Li Rui couldn't help but ask: "General, my plan?" ”

Yuan Fang waved his hand and said: "It's still the same sentence just now, this matter will be decided after I discuss it with Tang Jian, by the way, you don't want to be a general, just call me Doctor Yuan as before." After speaking, ignoring Li Rui, who was full of astonishment, took Yuqing and Ren Fei and turned to leave, Li Rui came back to his senses and hurriedly followed, sending a few people away.

Yuan Fang refused the accommodation arranged by Li Rui, and went to the station of the Taiji Legion with Yuqing and Ren Fei, on the way, Yuqing asked tentatively: "Brother-in-law, you don't really plan to use Li Rui's method, right?" ”

Yuan Fang looked at Yuqing with a smile: "What?" What are your thoughts? ”

The relationship between Yuqing and Yuan Fang naturally did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Brother-in-law, although General Li's plan is not bad, the requirements for the soldiers are really a bit high. ”

Yuan Fang smiled and said, "Are you afraid that he will steal our limelight?" ”

Yuqing was a little embarrassed and said: "Although our goal is to win the battle, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." ”

Yuan Fang liked Yuqing's directness and honesty, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go back, I already have a similar idea." Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she didn't say anything more and followed Yuan Fang back to the camp.

That night, Yuan Fang, Yuqing and Ren Fei discussed until late at night before resting, Yuqing's face was full of excitement and joy when she returned to her residence, and Ren Fei's face was full of amazement.

Early the next morning, Yuan Fang, who didn't have much rest, reluctantly got up to wash, and during breakfast, Xia Yi, who also participated in the discussion last night, frowned for a while, and finally Xia Yi asked: "Brother-in-law, are you really going to do that?" ”

Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, glanced at a few women, smiled and said, "What?" Are you scared? ”

Xia Yi pouted and said, "How can there be?" Brother-in-law, you are not afraid, how can we be afraid. ”

Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said, "You mean you're better than me?" ”

Huo Bingyan nodded without hesitation and said, "It's not much stronger, just a little, a little bit." ”

Yuan Fang pretended to glare angrily and said, "You little girls are too faceless, do you believe that my military law will deal with you?" ”

Xia Yi grimaced at Yuan Fang and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law won't be so careful." ”

Ye Qingru pretended to be scared and begged: "Brother-in-law, don't punish us, we know that we are wrong, and we will never dare to do it again in the future." After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh first.

Yuan Fang's head was full of black lines: "You brother and little girl, I really can't do anything about you." "Xia Yi and they are not the kind of people who are pampered, they are unscrupulous when there are no outsiders, and they are still very good at Yuan in front of outsiders.

After breakfast, the Tai Chi Army, which had been repaired all night, gathered and set off, and rushed to Niujiao Mountain to meet Tang Jian, Li Rui naturally came to see him off, and sent Yuan Fang out for almost ten miles before going back.

On the way, Li Rui also tentatively asked about sending troops a few times, but Yuan Fang kept avoiding it, Li Rui was very disappointed, he had been here for too long, and he couldn't wait to have a big fight, even if he died in battle, he had no regrets, he really couldn't stand this kind of don't go to hide in the rear.

The enemy forces in Yanhai County had retreated, and the crisis had been temporarily lifted, so Yuan Fang's speed had also slowed down, and the soldiers who had been on the road for many days were also very tired. Ren Fei smiled and said to Yuan Fang: "Big boss, this Li Rui is really a militant, don't you see it, the disappointed eyes he had just now, I feel uncomfortable when I look at it." ”

Yuqing smiled and said, "You are not a soldier, of course you don't understand the thoughts of our soldiers." ”

Ren Fei looked at Yuqing and retorted: "Why don't I understand?" What do you think of him? ”
