Chapter 76 I Also Have the Potential to Become a Great General!

For several days in a row.

As long as Yeli Yuqi did not attack the city.

Wei Yuan would lead his army out of the pass to challenge him.

The key point is that there is really no fierce general in the Western Xia army who can fight him.

The morale that was originally pulled back by Yeli Yuqi fell again after Wei Yuan's tossing.

In the third year of Jiayou, late May.

Yeli Yuqi had been attacking the city for more than half a month, but had not made any progress.

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

The content of the letter is known without thinking.

It is nothing more than that if Yanmen cannot be attacked again, then ask Li Yuanhao, the king of Western Xia, to change the general.

After receiving the letter, Yeli Yuqi just glanced at it quickly and burned it.

"This Li Xing doesn't know how to command troops, but he's good at making trouble!"

"That's Yanmen! The most important pass of the Zhou Kingdom, how can it be so easy to capture it just by saying it?"

"."

Some soldiers gnashed their teeth after learning the content of the letter.

Yeli Yuqi just thought that Li Xing was a fool, unlike the old fox Li Hao.

If Li Yuanhao really wanted to change the commander, why did he need to send a military supervisor?

Wouldn't it be better to just issue an order!

Besides, change the commander? Can it be changed?

Just then, a scout came to report,

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

Hearing the voice.

Yeli Yuqi frowned suddenly.

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

"Our army is now here in the back waist mountain road, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there is only one dangerous road that can directly approach Yanmen."

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

He understood it instantly.

There is only one way to attack Yanmen from the outside of the Great Wall, which is the Houyao Mountain Road.

The road is surrounded by mountains on both sides.

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

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

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

Therefore, Wei Yuan has set up watchtowers and wolf smoke towers on both sides of the mountains, and will immediately send troops to them as long as they find traces of the enemy.

The Zhou army attaches importance to the mountains on both sides, and the Western Xia army naturally also attaches importance to it.

In the past, when Yang Ye went out to fight, he only sent a group of elite soldiers to garrison Yanmen, and the rest of the army went through the mountains to surround the enemy behind.

In the end, the Liao army was defeated by the pincer attack from the front and back.

From then on, no matter who came to attack Yanmen, the routes and conditions of the mountains on both sides would be surveyed and investigated clearly.

Yeli Yuqi didn't think that a small number of Zhou soldiers would dare to carry out Yang Ye's plan back then.

A few soldiers, hiding in the mountains, are not easy to find, and are most suitable for harassment.

In terms of harassment, the most troublesome thing for the army is food and grass.

Therefore, Yeli Yuqi believed that the Zhou army was likely to go for their own food and grass.

"I ordered Li Xing to stay at the military food place. How many soldiers are there?"

Although Yeli Yuqi knew it in his heart, he had to ask at this critical moment.

A soldier responded: "One thousand cavalry, one thousand infantry!"

There are so few troops guarding the food and grass.

The main reason is that the Liao Kingdom attacked Yanmen so many times, and not once was the food and grass burned by the defenders in Yanmen.

It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to go out and burn food.

Therefore, even the famous Xixia general Yeli Yuqi did not think that the Zhou army really dared to burn it.

But now, he found the traces of Zhou army soldiers

He had to be nervous again.

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

Wait!

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

I didn't think about taking Yanmen!

If the army's food and grass were in trouble, Li Jianjun would definitely be responsible.

He could even use this opportunity to continue to ask Li Yuanhao for money, food, and soldiers.

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

"The Zhou army soldiers we found are only about a few hundred people."

"But Li Jianjun has a full two thousand elite soldiers."

"Even if the Zhou army soldiers who left Yanmen wanted to burn our food and grass, I'm afraid they don't have the opportunity!"

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

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

After all, if two thousand people can fail against hundreds of people, who will be responsible if he doesn't?

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

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

But there were one or two generals who felt that it was not safe.

"General, Li Xing has no experience in leading troops in battle. If he fails to guard the grain, it will affect the whole army."

"Please order me to go to the granary to help Li Jianjun."

Yeli Yuqi snorted coldly,

"Li Jianjun is the eldest son of Li Hao. Who is Li Hao? He is a talented person who knows eight hundred years in the past and five hundred years in the future!"

"As the saying goes, a tiger father will have a dog son. If you don't believe in Li Jianjun, don't you believe in Mr. Li?"

No one dared to say anything at this point.

——

It is said that the 500 people who left Yanmen Pass were led by Chen Aniu himself.

Chen Aniu followed Wei Yuan in the Yanmen War until now.

By Wei Yuan's side, he not only learned some military tactics and strategies, but also learned some characters, and changed his name to "Chen Yuanzhi".

There is only one word difference with 'Chen Qingzhi'.

Yuanzhi has the meaning of foresight. Chen Aniu felt that he was stupid, so he gave himself such a name.

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

Chen A Niu is organizing the army to rest.

At this time, a soldier came to him and asked:

"Chen Dutou, we can obviously cover up the traces of making a fire, why do you keep it? Doesn't this mean that Xia Jun discovered our traces?"

Chen Aniu chuckled and said, "I'm too stupid to tell which one is the Xixia army's food."

"But as long as we deliberately reveal our location, the Xixia Army will be able to deduce how many of us there are and what we are going to do through the traces of our cooking."

"In this way, wherever they add troops, that's their real breadbasket."

Generally speaking, in marching operations, multiple granary locations will be set up to confuse the enemy.

The Xixia army didn't think that the Zhou army could go out of Yanmen to invade their granary, but they also made a fake one.

It's in the mountains not far away.

"Besides, we are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests. It will not be easy to find us."

"The cavalry can't spread out here. They have no advantage. We hide while walking. If they send a large number of enemy troops to come to us, it can also reduce the pressure on General Wei."

I heard Chen Aniu say so much.

The soldier immediately praised: "Du Tou, I feel that you have the potential to become a good general in the world!"

Chen Aniu shook his head and said with a look of self-blame:

"You're talking nonsense. I'm too stupid. General Wei taught me a lot, but in the end, I didn't remember much."

They hid in the mountains for six days, but there was no sign of Yeli Yuqi moving troops elsewhere.

Chen Aniu blamed himself very much, "I'm too stupid, really too stupid, and too self-righteous! How could I hide this clumsy plan from that old fox Ye Li Yuqi?"

Someone asked, "Du Tou, what should we do now?"

Chen Aniu thought for a moment and said, "According to the scouts, there are two granaries set up by the Xixia 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 place the granary far away from the army. There are forest trails instead of mountain roads to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass."

"But I'm too stupid. Even I can think of it, how could 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 the mountain road is not easy to transport food, it is safe!"

His speech completely convinced everyone.

"Du Tou, at this moment, you look like General Wei who is strategizing!"

Chen Aniu, who was tall and tall and came from a peasant family, laughed and said, "I'm too stupid. I just don't want to smear 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 news from Ye Li Yuqi, asking him to protect the food and grass.

However, Li Xing felt that this matter was not that simple, so he said to a confidant who followed him:

"He asked me to take care of the food and grass, and also said that the Zhou army might come to burn food, but in the end 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 caps?

Li Xing frowned and said, "It's strange, it's too strange."

"He doesn't send troops to me. It seems he doesn't value food and grass."

"If the food and grass are really burned by Zhou Jun, what good will it do?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked startled, then came back to his senses and said:

"I understand!"

"He did it on purpose. He wanted to use Zhou Jun's help to get rid of me!"

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

"Send the order, quickly, order people to move the grain and grass to the foot of Nanshan Mountain!"

The confidant was stunned, transferring food?

It's close to a big river!

If the Zhou army really dares to destroy the food, it will probably be a fire attack. The river is right next to it. Are you still afraid of this?

However, once we move to the foot of the mountain, spring has just begun and the weather is dry. A fire dares to set the entire mountain on fire.

Isn’t this order a little silly?

Li Xing couldn't think of something that every civil servant under Li Xing could think of?

He simply felt that Zhou Jun would not know about his plan to transfer food and grass.

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

Li Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the food and fodder had been moved fairly quickly, and said:

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

"Ye Li Yu Qi, you really have a good plan!"

"Fortunately, I had a better plan and transferred the food and fodder in advance!"

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