The original night was shrouded in the wind. After the training for a day, the soldiers of Fengzhou soldiers all had dinner early. The camp was silent, with only the figures of patrol sentry walking in line, and only the tent of the central army was still brightly lit. The commander Yang Yuanqing and Sima

Li Jing, chief clerk Xie Sili, record officer Pei Jin, generals Yang Sien, Pei Xingyan, Su Dingfang and others discussed military situations

This afternoon, Yang Yuanqing received an eagle letter from Shanyang City, convinced that Liu Wuzhou was mobilizing 200,000 troops to fight north. There was also news in the intelligence that Liu Wuzhou's army was dismal and soldiers fled in large numbers, which showed that his Fenyang Palace

The wedge played a role and had already stabbed Liu Wuzhou's weakest point.

"Everyone, for the plan of Liu Wuzhou's army, I still plan to maintain the original plan, defeat the army without fighting, and use various means to weaken his army as much as possible. Now his morale has been shaken, but it is not enough. I still

We need to continue to disintegrate his army, and everyone can speak freely."

Yang Yuanqing looked at everyone one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Su Dingfang's face. Seeing that he stopped talking, he smiled and said, "General Su just said it."

Su Dingfang hesitated and said, "We should consider the problem of low-level jobs. He has an army of 200,000, and grain is the life gate of his army. If we can cut off the grain of the other army, then they will collapse without fighting. This is just a low-level job.

The initial idea was that because Bei Zhi didn't know the other party's food and grass equipment, he did not dare to speak out."

Yang Yuanqing nodded and smiled, "The idea is right. I don't know the other party's food and grass situation. We can use scouts to investigate. Moreover, we are also in the other party's army. The situation should be easy to understand. You can prescribe the right medicine at that time. In addition, I have it.

One idea, please refer to it, is to give up Yulin City and lure the enemy into the depths."

Li Jing shook his head, "General Manager. I think Liu Wuzhou may occupy Yulin City, but he will not continue to pursue us in depth. He should understand our strategies and suggestions. It is better to stick to Yulin City and confront the other party, and then wait for General Qin.

According to General Sanlang, Beizhi believes that if Shanyang City is lost, Liu Wuzhou will inevitably withdraw his troops in panic."

At this time, Xie Sili said carefully: "Li Sima. If the confrontation took too long, I am afraid that Li Yuan from Guanzhong would be freed up. In fact, now we are indirectly helping Taiyuan and reducing their pressure. Liu Wuzhou has already put the blame on him.

The army surrounding Taiyuan retreated. If we drag on it, then Li Yuan will have time to deploy calmly, which will be detrimental to us in the future. Beizhi does not agree with confrontation."

"The confrontation does not take long, maybe it will end in three to five days. The key is that we want to create opportunities for General Qin. Frankly speaking, we only have 30,000 troops, but the other side has 200,000 troops. Even if we finally defeat each other,

It will also suffer heavy losses, which is not worth it. The manager means to defeat the other party at the lowest cost?"

"But Sima Li cannot guarantee that General Qin can seize Shanyang County. If he cannot take it down, a confrontation will be formed here. In the end, he can only wait until the other party has finished his food and retreated. That time is hard to say, twenty days,

It is possible in one month, and Li Yuan has already completed the deployment in Hedong."

Li Jing and Xie Sili had different opinions. Gradually, there was a dispute. Yang Yuanqing waved his hand and stopped their dispute and smiled and said, "Don't fight anymore, follow my deployment first! Give up Yulin City and lure the enemy into the depths.

, I believe the surprise I deployed will work.”

Yang Yuanqing issued an order to withdraw troops, and thousands of residents in Yulin City also evacuated westward. This is the second time that Yulin City residents have evacuated since this year. However, compared with the first large-scale withdrawal, the number is more than half. There were more than 10,000 people in the first evacuation. Many families moved to the five Hetao counties and never came back. There were only more than 4,000 people in the evacuation this time, most of them were young and strong men and women. They also had their own houses in the five Hetao counties, which brought the elderly and children. They were all placed there, and within one day, Yulin City became an empty city.

The Fengzhou army was stationed fifty miles away from Yulin City. It was dusk, and the soldiers were busy burying pots and making rice. Yang Yuanqing also sorted out his documents in the big tent.

At this time, a personal soldier reported outside the tent, "General Manager, General Xu is asking for a meeting!"

General Xu is Xu Shiji. He has been in Fengzhou Army for less than ten days, and Yang Yuanqing has only talked to him once. Xu Shiji is a low-key person and taciturn person. He never expresses any opinions on military information and current situations.

Yang Yuanqing also knew that he was not Cheng Yaojin, and he needed a process of slowly getting used to it, so he never disturbed him, but he didn't expect that he would come to find him on his own initiative.

"Please come in!"

After a moment, Xu Shiji hurried into the tent, he stepped forward and bowed, "See the general manager!"

Xu Shiji's low-keyness is also reflected in his attitude towards other generals. Currently, Yang Yuanqing has set the level of generals to Xu Shiji as the deputy generals, and is at the same level as Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, half a level lower than Su Dingfang and Pei Xingyan's supervisors, and half a level lower than Pei Renji and Yang Sien. The governor was one level lower, but he was one level higher than Cheng Yaojin's Ying Yanglang. In the Fengzhou Army system, he could rank in the top 20.

Despite this, Xu Shiji was very respectful to almost everyone. Whether it was a superior to him or a general with a lower level than him, he would take the initiative to salute and respect the other party. It was completely unexpected that he was once Wagang. The third figure of the army.

Yang Yuanqing could understand Xu Shiji's mentality. Behind his respectful and humbleness was a kind of lack of confidence in his background, perhaps with a hint of inferiority.

"General Xu, please sit down!"

Yang Yuanqing asked Xu Shiji to sit down and smiled and said, "You have heard of Cheng Yaojin's acquisition of Fenyang Palace!"

Xu Shiji nodded, "I understand, but I'm not surprised that he will succeed."

"Oh? Tell me what do you think of Cheng Yaojin?" Yang Yuanqing asked curiously.

Xu Shiji thought about it and smiled, "He is a rude person but only on the surface. He is actually very smart. I will know if I take down the Hulao Pass. Moreover, he once used the story of his brothers to split up his family and publicly accuse Li Mi of being ambitious, and he also knew. At his own risk, when he found out that Li Mi and Zhai Rang were about to have a conflict, he immediately hid outside the city. When he heard that Li Mi had successfully seized the throne, he ran away in time. This person's mind was beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the general manager could use it. he."

"That's right. Have he ever told you that he was dependent on his family and alcohol money, and in the end I helped him pay the bill."

Xu Shiji showed a funny expression on his face, and he held back his smile and said, "I mentioned it, but he said it was the headmaster who was dependent on the wine account, and he came to pay for the headmaster to relieve the trouble."

Yang Yuanqing laughed loudly, "This bastard! How dare I turn the facts around, I must teach him a lesson."

Xu Shiji couldn't help laughing. With this smile, the atmosphere in the tent immediately became relaxed, and the tension in Xu Shiji's heart slowly disappeared.

"General Manager, this time I have a suggestion to deal with Liu Wuzhou's army."

"you say!"

At this time, the personal soldiers brought two cups of tea, and Xu Shiji picked up the tea cup and pondered, "I want to ask the general manager first, why did the general manager decide the strategy of defeating others without fighting, is he planning to force Liu Wuzhou's army to force Liu Wuzhou's army Go south of Taiyuan and make him a thorn for Li Yuan?”

Yang Yuanqing secretly praised the real purpose, only he and Li Jing, Yang Sien and Xie Sili knew about it. Unexpectedly, Xu Shiji's eyes were like a torch, and he could see that he was worthy of Xu Shiji.

"It's true?" Yang Yuanqing did not deny it.

"Since that's the case, I suggest that the general manager can use Song Jingang to replace Liu Wuzhou. Liu Wuzhou's destructive power is too great. He is not engaged in production and uses plunder and support the army. Sooner or later, he will turn Hedong into Chiye Qianli, while Song Jingang is more tricky than him , knowing how to support the army with the people, he will not destroy Hedong too much, and he will be able to fight against Li Yuan's army for a longer time."

Yang Yuanqing pondered for a while and asked, "How do you understand Song Jingang?"

Xu Shiji smiled and said, "Last year, Song Jingang brought more than a thousand people to Wagang. Li Mi ordered me to send someone to understand Song Jingang's old background, so I know him better. Moreover, this person is extremely ambitious and wants to rebel and ascend the throne. Li Mi also found that he was too ambitious and refused to accept him. Although this person was assisting Liu Wuzhou on the surface, if he had the chance, he would definitely kill Liu Wuzhou and become independent. Why didn’t the general manager take advantage of Song Jingang’s ambition?"

"Then what should I do?" Yang Yuanqing had already understood a little bit.

"It's very simple. I heard that Liu Wuzhou divided his troops into two groups. The general manager might as well use a counter-split strategy."

Liu Wu and Zhou troops went north in two routes, and one route was led by him, with a total of 150,000 troops as the main force. Song Jingang was also ordered to lead 50,000 troops as the rear, and the governor was the food and grass to go back.

On that evening, Song Jingang's army arrived thirty miles away from Yulin City. News had already been heard in front of the Fengzhou army abandoned Yulin City and evacuated westward. Liu Wuzhou's main force occupied Yulin City.

This news made Song Jingang a little nervous. It was obviously Yang Yuanqing's luring the enemy into depth. Once the army advances westward and Yang Yuanqing attacks again and cuts off the rear route, the army is likely to collapse from the enemy from both sides.

Song Jingang immediately sent someone to deliver the letter, so that Liu Wuzhou would not move westward again.

The letter was sent out, and Song Jingang's letter was a little calmer. At this time, a personal soldier came to report that his fellow tribe Song Wulun wanted to see him.

Song Jingang was slightly stunned. This was Song Wulun, he knew that he was the son of his clan brother Song Xiang. He had not seen him for several years. How could he suddenly appear now?

He ordered, "Bring in!"

After a moment, two personal soldiers led a young man in. Although they had not seen each other for five or six years, Song Jingang still recognized it at a glance. It was Rang's nephew Song Wulun.

Song Wulun knelt down and kowtowed, "My nephew Wulun greets his third uncle!"

"stand up!"

After all, he was his nephew of his clan. Song Jingang yin showed a smile on his cold face. He sat down and asked, "Where have you been there in the years?"

"Report to my third uncle, my nephew joined the army in Youzhou, and later went to Fengzhou."

Song Jingang's face changed, and he waved his hand to the personal soldiers and ordered him: "You all retreat!"
