Chapter 47 Emperor's Order
Mobei, Yujia Mountain.
The Yun Family Army and the Mobei Iron Cavalry are both stationed here. The cavalry will rush dozens of miles to the border town to transport fodder so that the Iron Cavalry will have enough supplies.
Being hungry is not a big deal for now, but the war horses must be well fed, after all, we still have to rely on them to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
The season has turned from early spring to midsummer, and the continuous hot weather not only worries Bian Sha, but also makes Yuan State anxious. Bian Sha has long adapted to such a climate, while the Yun family army can only support themselves with their strong bones and endure the hardship.
Fortunately, the water source here has been occupied by the Yun family army, so there is no chaos and the soldiers of the three armies can hold on.
Yujia Mountain is a good place.
"The Emperor's secret order!"
The soldier who announced the decree put the things safely in his arms, and soon he rode his horse quickly to the front of the generals.
Under the scorching sun, a group of soldiers led by Yun Rui gathered together.
The soldier's name was Zhou Yong, and he was a personal soldier under Yun Huai's command. He was known to be smart and handled things properly, so Yun Huai regarded him as a capable confidant.
He presented the things without delay: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, in addition to the Emperor's order, there is also a letter from the Marquis's Mansion, which I have taken with me."
"Is this done properly?" Yun Rui asked in a serious voice.
This is no joke. If someone finds out that the Yun family is privately sending letters to the border, it will probably arouse the suspicion of His Majesty.
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. Everything has been handled by my trusted associates. No outsiders will notice it!" Zhou Yong respectfully handed over the secret letter.
Yun Rui patted Zhou Yong's shoulder appreciatively and said, "Notify all the generals to go to the central army tent to discuss the matter."
"yes!"
In less than a moment, all the generals gathered in the main tent.
Among them were some main generals holding the same position as Yun Huai, as well as some deputy generals, military advisors and staff.
Yun Rui spoke in a steady voice, full of energy: "Your Majesty has brought the secret order. I took a quick look and it seems that a new batch of food and weapons have arrived, as well as a batch of medicine. In addition, the Fourth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and... Lu Zhen will all arrive with the reinforcements. The Fourth Prince will serve as the supervisor, while the Seventh Prince and Lu Zhen will serve as the vanguard to escort the food and supplies."
The military rules were strict, and the generals looked at each other in bewilderment, but no one spoke!
Yun Rui has led the army for decades and has a very high prestige in the army.
However, many people would also think that as the military supervisor, the Fourth Prince would definitely come up with some strategic tactics, and whether they could be helpful to the army is what they are concerned about!
"The fourth prince is here on behalf of His Majesty. His Majesty has always been concerned about the war in Mobei. This action may help boost morale." Yun Rui said expressionlessly, "Besides that, all soldiers should make a summary of the previous stage of the war. Yun Huai, you go first."
Although Yun Huai was still thinking about why Lu Zhe joined the army, he just sorted out his thoughts a little bit and expressed the idea he had prepared earlier:
"In the battle of Lancang Tiankeng, we had some geographical advantages, and we also used a clever strategy to make Mengtu careless, so we were able to catch the turtle in the jar and succeed in one battle. But this was just luck, so we must not be complacent!"
"Everyone in the Dongyi territory regards our dynasty as their teacher, especially in terms of military books and tactics. Therefore, we have to take it seriously. In addition, the Dongyi military advisors have a certain understanding of the Yun Family Army and the Iron Cavalry, but we know very little about the Dongyi."
These words were said very objectively. Yun Rui's eyes wavered slightly. It seemed that Yun Huai had already learned a lot on the battlefield. It should not be a big problem to hand over the military power of Mobei to him in the future.
And he is willing to do so.
The elder brother's heir can also be his.
"So what should the army do at this stage?" Yun Rui took a sip of tea and stared at the small flag on the sand table.
Yun Huai was very sure: "In my opinion, the best thing we can do now is to conserve our energy and boost morale. Wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and then we can defeat the Dongyi in one blow and put an end to their ambitions!"
"Very good." Yun Rui played with the long smoke gun in his hand, "Luo Heng, you say."
Luo Heng scratched his head. He was not as well-read as Yun Huai, but even so, he had his own unique insights:
"My Lord, the Dongyi have not made any moves for a long time. Perhaps they are weakened. Why don't we take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack?"
Yun Rui raised his eyes: "Continue."
"I heard that the Dongyi rely on cattle and sheep to survive. If there is a way to burn their grasslands or steal them all, maybe..."
Grasslands are the lifeblood of the Dongyi people, and they rely on the few remaining oases to feed their cattle and sheep. Therefore, although this plan is vicious, it is plausible.
Who among those present doesn’t have a few lives on his hands?
Vice Admiral He Gang raised the key point: "But if the oasis is destroyed, will it arouse greater anger among them?"
With so many disabled soldiers in the Israeli camp, they not only lack the advantage in numbers, but are also at a disadvantage in physical strength.
Everyone present fell silent.
"In that case, strengthen the sentries in the barracks, set up more secret sentries and spies, and arrange them to be dispersed in a ten-mile radius with Yujia Mountain as the center. In addition, send two excellent spies to ambush near the Dongyi barracks and try to find places with oases. Use the same shift system." Yun Rui made the final decision, "Now let's wait for the reinforcements to arrive before making other plans."
"I obey your command." Everyone shouted in unison.
Ding Ruhui, however, was thinking about something beside him. He had a bad feeling, but it was obvious that speaking nonsense at this time would easily disturb people's minds.
"Yun Huai stays, and the rest of you go back to your camps!" Yun Rui stood still like a mountain.
Ding Ruhui hesitated for a while, but left with other soldiers and military advisors.
"Ahuai, come here and take a look." Yun Rui's expression softened. He reached out and lifted up Yun Huai's coat. He saw that the wounds on his body had already scabbed over. After receiving treatment from a military doctor, he was able to walk normally.
Yun Huai didn't care about these minor illnesses and pains, and asked with gritted teeth: "Uncle, what's the matter?"
Yun Rui took out a letter, which was addressed to him personally by the Marquis, and said gently, "This is a family letter. I invite you to read it."
"A letter from home?" Yun Huai burst into laughter.
I have been in this northern desert from spring to summer, and finally I have received a letter from home.
Yun Rui opened the letter carefully and slowly. The weather was bad along the way, and the letter paper was a little damp: "Look at this little girl Jiaojiao, she is asking you how you are in the letter. You taught her to write poems!"
"Where is it? Let me see." Yun Huai leaned over.
When autumn comes on September 8th, my flowers will bloom and all other flowers will die.
The fragrance of the fragrance permeates Chang'an, and the entire city is covered with golden armor.
"She writes really well!" Yun Huai smiled brightly, "She cried so hard when I taught her how to write before!"
Yun Rui relaxed his brows, looking very relaxed: "Yes, but Jiao Jiao later explained to me the reason. She said that it was her fault that she could not write the poem taught by the 'teacher' with decisiveness. Because of this word, she cried to me for a long time!"
At that time, Yun Huai endured the pain and gave Yun Zhuan a strict instruction. Yun Zhuan got so angry that he stopped calling him uncle and called him sir instead. However, it was precisely because of this that he was able to write such beautiful, timeless and elegant calligraphy.
"At that time, she pouted and looked like a little bun." Yun Huai couldn't help but sigh when he thought about it, "She was so smart and beautiful. I don't know why, but fortunately..."
Understood.
Before Yun Huai finished speaking, there was a commotion outside:
"Enemy attack, notify the Marquis, and the others should be ready to meet the enemy——"
Attention, there will be a knife tomorrow!!!
During the epidemic, home isolation is the right way
