In the following days, Yun Zheng tried to find ways to divert Bei Huan's attention every day.
Either they would send cavalry from the border to pretend to launch a raid somewhere, or they would send out a large number of scouts to conduct reconnaissance everywhere.
Anyway, he looks like he's ready to attack at any time.
Yun Zheng's series of unusual actions naturally attracted Jia Yao's attention.
Jia Yao would send out several teams of spies every day to investigate the movements of the army on the border of the hill.
But Yun Zheng's series of actions were completely disorganized, and Jia Yao had no idea what Yun Zheng was trying to do.
However, she also suspected that Yun Zheng was disturbing her vision.
She still felt that Yun Zheng might launch a surprise attack on the Right Wise King's troops.
Although, the Right Wise King is now stronger than the Left Wise King.
But Yun Zheng is a guy who doesn't act according to common sense.
...
...
She even suspected that Yun Zheng might launch a surprise attack on their 30,000-strong army in front of them.
However, relatively speaking, this possibility is smaller.
After all, the combat effectiveness of their 30,000 elite cavalry is there.
Yun Zheng has always liked to use unconventional strategies to win, and likes to cause great casualties to the enemy at a very low cost.
As long as these 30,000 people do not split up, the possibility of Yun Zheng directly attacking these 30,000 people is very small.
Jia Yao had also thought about attacking the people sent by Yun Zheng.
However, Yun Zheng was obviously also guarding against her attacks, and she couldn't find a good opportunity to attack.
There is too little shelter on the grassland.
Especially near Sanbian City.
There are no big mountains here except Yanhui Mountain.
The so-called mountains here are basically just some earth slopes.
In this case, if the enemy sends out scouts to find a place with slightly higher terrain, their movements can be seen from more than ten miles away.
By the time their army ran over, the enemy had already fled.
If you want to intercept and kill the enemy, the best way is to outflank them.
But the enemy was now backed up against the hill, and they had no way of outflanking them.
Headache!
What a headache!
Jiayao rubbed his head and suddenly missed Bambu very much.
If my mentor were still alive, he would help me think about it and I wouldn’t have to worry so much now.
Not only do we have to be wary of Yun Zheng, we have to deal with Bolun, and we also have to be wary of that bastard Hu Luo!
Her two brothers are also restless now.
Even at this time, you are still thinking about fighting for power and profit!
I really don’t know what they are thinking!
When Yun Zheng attacks us, we will all be taken down at once and there will be no need to fight anymore!
"well……"
Jia Yao sighed heavily again, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
She felt that the current Beihuan was like a small boat in a torrent.
You may be swallowed up by the torrent at any time.
At this moment, the voice of the personal guards rang out from outside the tent: "Princess, the spies have urgent news!"
"Come in!"
Jia Yao was instantly out of his thoughts.
As soon as the guards came in, they hurriedly said, "A large number of enemy troops are escorting food and fodder towards the Qing border!"
"March towards Qingbian?"
Jia Yao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Is Yun Zheng going to send people to Qingbian?
Yun Zheng received the news of Aluta's death and wanted to take action against Aluta's tribe?
Or does Yun Zheng just want to occupy Qingbian?
However, no matter what, as long as Yun Zheng sends people to Qingbian to escort food and grass, they will have a chance!
If we could seize the enemy's food and supplies, that would be the best!
Even if we can't seize them, we can find a way to burn their food supplies!
Before the troops move, the food and fodder must go first!
Burning food supplies once will slow down the enemy's offensive for a long time!
This is an opportunity!
When she first had the idea of withdrawing from Sanbian City, wasn't she just trying to stretch the enemy's front line and seize the enemy's food and supplies?
Fight to support the war!
"Immediately send more spies to the Qingbian direction to find out the enemy's situation as soon as possible!"
Jia Yao gave the order quickly.
Two days later, Jia Yao received the exact news brought back by the spy.
The enemy's vanguard troops escorting food and fodder numbered about 10,000.
Among them, cavalry and infantry should each account for half.
The amount of food and fodder they escorted was not particularly large, but it was at least enough to feed 10,000 troops for two months.
Moreover, the enemy troops escorting food and fodder marched much faster than the normal troops escorting food and fodder.
However, the enemy was also very cautious.
The enemy kept sending out scouts to investigate in all directions.
Moreover, the 5,000 cavalrymen in the vanguard were always about ten miles ahead of the 5,000 infantrymen who were escorting the grain.
In the left front of the enemy army, there were five or six thousand cavalry to support.
Obviously, Yun Zheng was also on guard against them robbing food.
After getting the exact news, Jiayao's mind suddenly became active.
Enough food and fodder for 10,000 troops for two months!
For Da Gan, this amount of food and grass may not be much.
But to them, these food and grass are very precious!
What they lack most now is food!
We must find a way to snatch these food supplies!
Jia Yao was trying hard to think of a countermeasure.
As he thought about it, Jia Yao's heart couldn't help but move.
When Da Gan built the three border cities, in order to facilitate the escort of grain and fodder, he spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to build an official road between the three border cities, and paved it with gravel.
However, this kind of official road has both advantages and disadvantages for escorting grain and fodder.
Today, the ice and snow on the grassland are melting.
Many places are wet and muddy.
The enemy troops were escorting food and supplies and were in a hurry, so they had no choice but to take the official road.
But the official road is only ten feet wide.
It can accommodate at most two flatbed trucks carrying supplies passing side by side.
In this way, the enemy's team escorting food and fodder will definitely be delayed for a long time!
This is their chance!
After thinking for a moment, Jia Yao asked again: "Where is the enemy's grain escort team? How long will it take to reach Qingbian?"
The spy immediately reported: "According to the enemy's current speed, they can transport food and grass to Qingbian within three days!"
Within three days?
That's really fast!
They don't have much time left to seize food and supplies!
However, we can still give the enemy some more time.
The enemy escort was already moving fast, and their soldiers must have been very tired.
The further we go, the more tired the enemy becomes!
When the enemy troops are exhausted, they will attack!
In this way, the casualties should be much smaller!
Thinking of this, Jia Yao was no longer anxious and began to slowly think about countermeasures.
After thinking quietly for more than an hour, Jiayao sent someone to ask Heasu and Huluo to come and see him.
When the two arrived, Jia Yao immediately informed them of the situation.
When they heard that they were going to rob food supplies, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Beihuan is not without troops to conquer now.
I just can't afford it!
As long as there is enough food and grass, Beihuan can quickly recruit a large army again and fight Dagan to the death.
Jia Yao didn't bother to talk to them and gave orders quickly.
"Heasu, your troops will move out of camp tomorrow and march towards the Right Wise King's troops to attract the attention of the enemy scouts! Tomorrow night, leave 5,000 men to guard the camp, and you will lead another 5,000 men to move towards the enemy's left wing at night. After daybreak the day after tomorrow, feint an attack on the enemy's left wing!"
"This princess will personally lead 7,000 men and set out tomorrow night. At dawn the day after tomorrow, we will quickly move diagonally to cut off the connection between the enemy's left wing cavalry and the other group of troops, and form a pincer attack with your troops on the enemy's left wing cavalry!"
"Once the enemy's left wing cavalry retreats, you will immediately lead your troops to move closer to ours!"
"Hu Luo, tomorrow night, leave 5,000 men to guard the camp, and you will personally lead the remaining 5,000 men to enter Qingbian overnight and hide the troops in Qingbian! When it gets light, your troops will immediately launch a surprise attack on the enemy, and this princess will support you in launching the attack!"
Jia Yao has great ambitions.
Not only did he want to rob Dagan of his food supplies, he also wanted to eat all the soldiers escorting the food supplies and the 5,000 cavalrymen in front!
The view from the grassland is so broad.
The movement of the large body of cavalry was like a moving hill.
It would be too easy to be discovered if we acted during the day.
If you want to seize food and grass, the best way is to act at night, and then rely on the speed advantage of the cavalry to quickly penetrate and kill the enemy, and not give the enemy a chance to burn their own food and grass!
He Asu thought for a moment and asked again: "What if the enemy's cavalry on the left wing does not retreat?"
Jia Yao replied: "If they don't retreat, your troops will attack directly! At that time, this princess will send several thousand troops to intercept the cavalry in front of the grain escort team, and Hu Luo will take the opportunity to attack..."
If the 5,000 cavalry on the enemy's left wing had not retreated, their casualties would certainly have been much greater.
However, the enemy's casualties will also increase accordingly.
The best scenario is that the enemy's left wing cavalry realizes that they are trapped in a pincer attack and quickly retreats...
