Chen Yue, who had solved the doubts in his heart, waved his hand and said:

"Okay, I understand, go on."

Zuoqiu spoke again:

"Our Liang army totals about 40,000. Including the Right Cavalry and Benlei Cavalry stationed in Chifeng City, it is only more than 60,000. However, the Yan army has deployed hundreds of thousands of troops outside Zhenbeiguan.

.

Almost all the elite Yan troops who entered Pinghan Road arrived outside Zhenbeiguan City, and the two main cavalry armies were deployed in the nearby city to prepare for the siege army at any time.

Generally speaking, the Yan army is strong in strength, and its logistical supplies are provided by the Yan family along the way, so it can be described as a menacing attack."

"The main force of the Yan army has been transferred outside Zhenbeiguan?"

Chenyue narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"They handed over the defense of the entire Pinghan Road to the Yan family. Is the Yan army so confident about them?"

A flash of doubt flashed in Chenyue's heart. Neither Nalan Tingye nor Zhou Weiran were generous people. Could they really trust Pinghan Road to be handed over to the Yan family?

"That's not the case."

Zuoqiu smiled and said:

"The Yan army was also guarding the Yan family. Yan Zhang led all the main force of the Yan family to the border of Tianning Road. The Yan army deliberately asked them to confront the Long army.

Well, Pinghan Road is still garrisoned by Yan troops, mainly the silver lion flag with a black background, plus a small number of Yan troops transferred from the interior of Dongting one after another."

When Zuo Qiu mentioned the silver lion flag on a black background, Chang Huaiyi's eyes looked a little heavier.

black

The silver lion flag at the bottom is the final straw that breaks the Chang family's back, otherwise they might win.

"Haha~"

Chenyue sneered:

"It seems that the Yan army doesn't trust the Yan family very much. They specially moved the Yan family's army away from their familiar positions to prevent them from becoming too powerful."

The foundation of the Yan family is actually Pinghan Road, and the intricate family forces behind them have all been rooted in Pinghan Road for many years.

Now Yan Jun asked the Yan family to go to Tianning Road because they were worried about the danger of raising tigers.

"Yan Zhang, this bastard." Chang Huaiyi said coldly:

"How much benefit does the Yan people give him? It's really a daydream!

Sooner or later I will kill him with my own hands!"

As soon as this name was mentioned, Chang Huaiyi hated him deeply. It can be said that Yan Zhang directly led to the defeat of the Chang family, causing more than 100,000 soldiers to die on the battlefield.

The Chang family's century-old foundation was destroyed in one fell swoop.

Chenyue narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured:

"Looking at the comparison of military strength, the Yan army and our army are about one to three. We rely on the strong city to hold on, coupled with the powerful crossbows, Zhenbeiguan will not be in danger for the time being."

Chenyue quickly made a rough inference on the situation between the two sides. With the strength of the Liang army, it would not be difficult to rely on Zhenbeiguan to hold off the Yan army for several months.

"That's right."

Xin Ji echoed from the side:

"However, judging from the battles with the Yan army these days and the information obtained by spies, Zhou Weiran is on the Hepinghan Road in the interior of Dongting.

There was a large-scale forced recruitment of soldiers in Ningdao.

After a little training, these troops will be sent to the front line to participate in the siege. They seem to want to use the human sea tactic to capture Zhenbeiguan.

Your Majesty, Zhou Weiran can recruit troops continuously and it doesn't matter how many people die. Our Liang army cannot do this.

The longer the war drags on, the worse it will be for us."

Xin Ji looked solemn, Zhou Weiran could be cold-blooded and ruthless, but they couldn't.

"This is the most important reason why I rushed to Zhenbeiguan this time."

Chenyue's tone was extremely cold, and he slightly turned his palms in the air:

"We must completely change the situation of the Liang army fighting on two fronts!

According to the previous decision, our army will choose the opportunity to annihilate the Yan army in Dongting!"

At this point, everyone's eyes became hot.

Xin Ji has roughly revealed the plan to the generals present in the past two days. The crowd is excited and everyone is gearing up.

Now everyone is waiting for a good fight.

Chenyue raised his eyebrows and looked at Huangfu Mu who had been silent until now, and chuckled:

"Mr. Huangfu, you asked Tiansi to be specifically responsible for this matter in the early stage.

Can you tell us about the latest progress?"

Even though Chenyue had just arrived at the front line, Wentian Sike had already taken action.

Countless hidden stakes hidden in Pinghan Road and the interior of Dongting came out and began to stir up trouble within the Yan army.

The old gentleman smiled slightly, took out a thick stack of letters from his sleeve robe under the gaze of several people, and then took his time.

He read slowly:

"On the fifth day of the first lunar month, several soldiers of the Yan army in Jokhang County, Hanzhou, were drinking and having fun. They had a conflict with a descendant of the Yan family in a brothel. The two sides fought, resulting in three deaths and six injuries.

The Yan family member died on the spot, causing a wave of local opposition to the Yan people.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, a general under Zhou Weiran was ordered to adjust food supplies in the military camp, but was blocked by General Yan for no reason and insulted him.

The soldiers on both sides were not angry, and the verbal dispute gradually evolved into a small-scale conflict, and the scene was chaotic for a time.

Hundreds of people participated in the fight, and dozens of people died on both sides. Zhou Weiran's general broke a leg on the spot, and the troops under his command were restless.

In the end, Nalan Tingye personally came forward to punish General Yan, which calmed Zhou Weiran's anger.

On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, in Qingxi County, Jizhou, Zhou Weiran's subordinates were going to collect grain. As a result, a local family happened to have a good relationship with the Yan family, and the head of the family refused to hand over grain.

Zhou Weiran's generals were furious and killed the father and son on the spot. The whole family was almost wiped out. Although Yan Zhang was extremely angry, he did not want to break up with Zhou Weiran because of a good family, so the matter was settled in the end.

On February 14th, in Dongting Jinsai County, a conflict broke out between a captain of the Yan Army and a subordinate of Zhou Weiran. The conflict quickly subsided, but the captain was suddenly killed three days later. No one has found out who did it.

.

…”

Incident after incident spewed out from the old man's mouth.

Although his tone was calm, the cheeks of everyone present were trembling unconsciously, and their eyes were full of surprise.

Because they know that all these conflicts, conflicts and even small-scale fights are all the work of Wentiansi.

From the interior of Dongting to Pinghan Road and Tianning Road, Wentiansi was like a pair of invisible big hands, turning the rivers and seas upside down, instigating the Yan people, Zhou Weiran, Wanyan Bi, and various forces in the Yan family to cause various conflicts.

Don't underestimate the conflicts between the lowest-level soldiers and subordinates. Once these small conflicts accumulate, they will evolve into mutual hatred between the two forces.

And they are not the same people~

Chenyue was a little shocked. On the surface, Wentiansi seemed neither plague nor popular, but in fact they had never stopped expanding in the past few years.

Forget about sending spies to places like Pinghan Road and Tianning Road, they even inserted people into the distant Dongting.

It's really appalling.

"Okay, let's read these first."

After a long time, Mr. Huangfu stopped talking and casually put the thick pile of letter paper back into his sleeve.

It was obvious that the old man did not read all the information. What he just read out was information that some old men thought were important.

The most serious one was the fierce conflict between the Yan family soldiers and the Yan army, which almost turned into a firefight involving thousands of people.
