Chapter 274 273 Another one was fooled by the hill chief

Although Yuchi Yi was naughty and courageous since childhood, he walked around the capital with Gao Tai, Chen Qibao and other sons of generals, and was called the Little Bully.

But General Yuchi was also very strict with him. He knew that he did not have many choices in the future, and he did not slack off at all in teaching him how to march and fight.

Before the team set out, he ordered Wang Ergou, Gao Liang, and Yu Datou to scout the way.

Although it doesn’t snow often in the north after the New Year, it is still very cold.

In the uninhabited wilderness, the roads are long and rugged, covered with snow everywhere.

When An Xin and his companions were halfway on their journey, Wang Ergou, who had gone out to investigate, came back and reported that they had discovered a team of a thousand men from the Beiming border town, heading towards the Jibei border.

Yuchi Yi looked at the soldiers, except for those on horseback, who were having a hard time walking in the snow. It was already afternoon, and everyone was tired and hungry.

He immediately ordered to find a secluded place to rest, and sent someone to invite An Xin, who was leisurely following the team, to come over to discuss the matter.

An Xin sat on a piece of animal skin that Zheng Xiaoling had taken out and spread on the stone. She picked up a piece of straw and put it in her mouth. She looked very ruffian, and the soldiers around her looked at her frequently.

I feel that she doesn't look like a high-ranking official in the capital, but more like a veteran soldier than them.

However, the soldiers liked An Xin very much.

Yuchi Yi and Gao Tai withdrew their gazes from their teacher and felt pain in their eyes.

"Sir, how do you think we should deal with that group of Bei Ming soldiers?"

An Xin raised his eyes and glanced at Yuchi Yi, frowning and said: "No matter how many soldiers you command, you are the leader here now, and we all listen to you.

Think about the practical experience your father taught you, as well as the military strategies and tactics you learned, and which one is suitable for this situation. "

Yuchi Yi nodded respectfully to An Xin, and then stopped asking questions and being polite.

He already had a plan in mind, which was one of the thirty-six strategies that An Xin had taught him, "wait for the enemy to tire themselves out."

Yuchi Yi instructed Gao Tai and the others, "Take out most of the food and distribute it to the soldiers. Try to make sure they are well fed. There will probably be a fierce battle next."

"yes."

"Yes, sir."

Before leaving, Yuchi Yi also instructed them not to make a fire, as fireworks would allow the enemy to discover them.

After Gao Tai and the others left, An Xin looked at Yuchi Yi dimly and said calmly, "The number of soldiers on our side is about the same, one-third less than the other side.

It is hard to achieve an overwhelming victory when outnumbered by just waiting for the enemy to tire. "

Yuchi Yi looked at An Xin with eyes as bright as stars and listened quietly.

An Xin did not stop and continued: "Leading troops to war is not only about winning the battle, but also about thinking about how to make his soldiers win with the least casualties on the battlefield."

Yuchi Yi stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to An Xin respectfully, "Teacher, I will definitely remember what you taught me."

At the same time, Chai Hongzhuang, Shen Qiang and others who had just returned from their work also bowed to her like Yuchi Yi.

Chai Hongzhuang said excitedly: "If the generals who lead the troops valued the lives of the soldiers as much as Master Jijiu, it would be a blessing for hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border."

Shen Qiang: "Master Jijiu, do you have any good plan that can enable us to defeat the enemy's one thousand soldiers with the least casualties?"

An Xin and Yuchi Yi looked at each other, and both teacher and student suddenly laughed.

They said in unison: "Find a favorable position, ambush all around, and lure the enemy deep into our territory."

Gao Tai, who had been taught by An Xin, immediately understood the strategy the two were talking about, and he also grinned, showing his big white teeth.

The others thought for a moment and looked at them with bright eyes.

"It's a good method. It's really a good method to win with less."

The wolf meat was roasted last night and was cold.

"We are not allowed to make a fire. How can we eat the meat which is so cold?!" a soldier complained.

Yan Zhengkuan, who had an expressionless face, and another troublemaker soldier who had been punished, paused in their chewing of meat, looked at each other, and raised the corners of their mouths in a wicked smile.

Yan Zhengkuan ate the meat in his hand in two or three mouthfuls. Without mercy, he snatched the meat from a soldier beside him, picked it up and started to eat it, shouting loudly: "If you don't want to eat it, give it to me."

“Not to mention this bad place, even in the border town in northern Hebei, it’s not easy for us soldiers whose salaries have been withheld to get a bite of meat.

Now you are being hypocritical. Who complains that the meat is cold and cannot be eaten? Bring it to me. I don’t mind it being cold.”

Although the few people who were dealt with by Zheng Xiaoling at An Xin's orders were all troublemakers, they were not cowards at all.

Another one also shouted, “Me too, bring it to me if you dislike the meat being cold.

That was what the Master Jijiu led us to fight back in the dark on the mountain. Don’t let me mess it up, or I won’t let you off.”

There are still only a few people who complain. Many soldiers at the border don’t know that it is not easy to have food to eat when there is a real war, let alone roasted meat.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Who is so stupid as to be so pretentious at this time?

The soldiers whose wolf meat was stolen by Yan Zhengkuan and his men were in tears. They wanted to take it back, but they couldn't beat them.

He wanted to complain, but he was the one who made the mistake first. He could only watch helplessly as the two bad guys ate half of the meal. Only then did he reluctantly say that he was full and threw the remaining half to them.

Yan Zhengkuan thought to himself, you guys should just be content. If it weren’t for the fact that there was a tough battle to fight next, there was no way he would return the meat to them.

An Xin watched this scene from a distance.

Yan Zhengkuan turned around and met An Xin's admiring gaze. He was slightly stunned, scratched the back of his head, and smiled embarrassedly.

An Xin waved to him, Yan Zhengkuan paused and ran over.

"Do you want to be a centurion?"

Yan Zhengkuan looked at An Xin in astonishment. There is no soldier who doesn't want to move up. Who would want to be a soldier if they can be promoted?

"I do!" Yan Zhengkuan answered sincerely.

An Xin patted his shoulder appreciatively and said, "Wait." Then he turned and walked to Yuchi Yi. The teacher and student whispered for a while.

Yuchi Yi looked at Yan Zhengkuan in the distance with sympathy, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Teacher, you are good at fooling people."

Then when An Xin raised his fist to hit him, Yuchi Yi immediately strode to all the soldiers and said in a loud voice:

“As everyone knows, your group is a temporary team, and none of the soldiers in it has any official position.

"I, the young general, cannot make any big promises to you right now, but I still have the power to select a few brave soldiers from among you to serve as centurions."

After hearing this, Yan Zhengkuan understood why An Xin asked him whether he wanted to be a centurion.

It turned out that it was not his eyes that saw it wrong, but that this Lord Chief Priest really had a little appreciation for him.

Yan Zhengkuan, a grown man, felt like he had met his mentor. When he thought of this, he looked up at An Xin from a distance and blushed.

He secretly decided that he must perform well in killing the enemies this time and live up to the appreciation of An Xin, his mentor.

However, Yuchi Yi's words also gave the soldiers hope of climbing up and greatly boosted their morale.
