At this time, Gongsun Yuan, who had been watching for a long time, came forward. He, who had never paid attention to the outside world, finally paid attention to the subtle atmosphere between the two people. He even used a popular phrase in Chenliu City: "What is this play you two are singing?"
Yuan Baifu and Jian Qiao looked at each other. Jian Qiao snorted coldly and turned to catch up with Qu Yunmie. Yuan Baifu was also very angry. He cursed inwardly: "The running dog of the scholars."
When Gongsun Yuan heard what he said, he couldn't help but frown and look at him: "Who are you talking about?"
Yuan Baifu pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "No one, I just said it nonsense, don't take it to heart."
Gongsun Yuan still frowned, but he didn't say anything after all. He was not the kind of person who liked to get involved in such matters. It was just that the conflict between Jian Qiao and Yuan Baifu made him feel a little irritated, as if something was going to change.
After the two of them left, this place became empty. Yu Shaocheng, who had been sharpening his weapons in the tent long before they arrived, walked out slowly.
A dispute among several generals, even if it was just a small dispute, could turn into an accident that no one wanted to see. Yu Shaocheng tilted his head, put down his weapon, and walked towards Yu Shaoxie's military tent.
Yu Shaoxie lived in a single room, while the other two gentlemen lived together. Yu Shaoxie had been busy these days, calculating how many reinforcements the Xianbei would have and how long the war would last. Although the king would not listen to him on how to fight the war, he would integrate this information and use it as a reference.
Yu Shaocheng lifted the curtain and came in. He told Yu Shaoxie what he had just heard. He was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and he even remembered to repeat Yuan Baifu's impulsive words.
Yu Shaoxie's expression was very surprised: "He actually said that about Rong'er?"
Yu Shaocheng: “…”
"Brother, you should call Mr. Xiao by his first name. There are so many people around nowadays, and if you call him like that, it might give others a bad impression."
Yu Shaoxie didn't understand. Would calling him Rong'er give a bad impression? At most, it would let people know that he and Xiao Rong were very close.
But now that they are out, it is indeed not as convenient as when they are at home, so it is always better to be more careful.
Yu Shaoxie agreed, then frowned and thought: "I originally thought that General Yuan was the most open-minded among the generals, but today he actually insulted Jian Qiao with such words. It can be seen that getting close to scholars is a symbol of weakness in his eyes."
Yu Shaocheng did not comment. He had another idea. He felt that Yuan Baifu might not hate scholars, but simply hated Xiao Rong. Just like him, sometimes when he was unhappy, he would call Xiao Rong "the scholar who stole his brother from him" in his heart. Scholar was just an identity. After all, his brother was a scholar, and he would never hate scholars. ...
Yu Shaoxie didn’t know what Yu Shaocheng was thinking, he only knew that he had figured out some things.
No wonder Jian Qiao's attitude changed. It was probably because Xiao Rong said something to Jian Qiao before he left. Jian Qiao's brain was similar to the king's. He was not someone who could hide things, so he leaked some clues, and Yuan Baifu also saw this.
Yu Shaoxie couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't understand why Xiao Rong trusted Jian Qiao so much. It would be better if he told him about this. He could guarantee that no one would notice anything wrong.
But just like Yuan Baifu, Yu Shaoxie would never have thought that Xiao Rong reminded Jian Qiao to beware of changes in the army. He thought it was something else. But no matter what, from that day on, Yu Shaoxie kept a watchful eye.
That night, Yu Shaoxie gave the intelligence he had compiled to Qu Yunmie. After looking at it, Qu Yunmie finally felt that Yu Shaoxie was a little more pleasing to his eyes.
The Xianbei's dying struggle during this period was not completely useless. It called over many of its younger brothers, such as the Rouran, Fuyu, Khitan, Kumo Xi, and many other small tribes.
All these foreign aids together number less than 30,000, but there is a problem: 20,000 of them are cavalry.
Qu Yunmie looked at the names of these small countries and tribes one by one. Yu Shaoxie could not help but suggest to him that he had a way to disintegrate this group of foreign aid without spending a single soldier, because not all of these foreign aids were in the same mind as the Xianbei. For example, the Khitan, they had been driven away by Qu Yunmie before, and they didn't want to come this time, but the Xianbei threatened them. Due to geographical issues, they had to join the war. Then the king could give some benefits to the Khitan, guarantee that the Xianbei would not chase them, and then let them hide back in their hometown.
Qu Yunmie listened to Yu Shaoxie's suggestion, then nodded slowly: "Sir, that's right."
Yu Shaoxie was stunned. He was a little flattered: "Does the king really think so?"
Qu Yunmie raised his head and smiled at Yu Shaoxie: "Yes, this is a good plan, but I have a better plan."
Yu Shaoxie: “…”
He already had a bad feeling.
As expected, the next second Qu Yunmie smiled and said to him: "Kill all these people right here to weaken the Khitan's defenses. After the Xianbei are in my hands, I will go to the Khitan capital in person. If their Khan is a smart man, he will surrender and stop resisting. This way, we can avoid another war in the future. What do you think, sir?"
Yu Shaoxie: “…………” That makes sense. And it’s also very bandit-like.
At this time, he felt that Qu Yunmie was normal. That's right, the person who didn't listen to him was their king.
Yu Shaoxie walked out silently. Qu Yunmie looked at his back and remembered what Xiao Rong always emphasized to him before, that he should not be too independent and should tell the people around him about any decision he made, even if it was just a sentence or two. This way, his subordinates would feel that he valued them.
"etc."
Yu Shaoxie turned back.
Qu Yunmie was silent for a while, then he said, "I don't plan to launch an attack tomorrow. I will challenge them first and let those good-for-nothings stand at the position of the vanguard. The rest of the generals will rest on the spot and gather their strength, and then launch the attack at night."
Yu Shaoxie was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, are you trying to confuse the Xianbei people? That's right. The Xianbei people treat Your Majesty as a formidable enemy. If they maintain such morale and state, they will surely fight desperately and cause a great loss of our troops. But in the eyes of the Xianbei emperor, it may not be so. He and his subjects are as afraid of Your Majesty as they are. At this moment, they should think that what they lack most is courage and morale. Your Majesty is showing weakness by showing strength, giving them a chance to regain their courage. When the illusion is punctured and those fears return, they will not even be able to regain their current state, and will only be left with abandoned weapons and armor."
Qu Yunmie looked at him quietly.
After a long time, he nodded slowly: "Yes, that's what I think."...
On the second day, some were happy and some were worried when they learned that their troops would replace the vanguard.
He Tingzhi was the one who was happy, because the people he brought were also carefully selected. Although the challenge was not a real battle, it was also an opportunity for his subordinates to become famous. Huang Yanjiong was worried. He was too far away and too weak to catch up with the main force. After finally arriving at Yanmen County to join the group, he saw someone he never wanted to see in his life. - Huang Keji.
No matter it was Huang Keji or Qu Yunmie, they did not tell the truth of the matter at this time. Only everyone who knew them was discussing what happened. Moreover, Huang Keji acted as if he did not see Huang Yanjiong. He stood among the Zhenbei Army and seemed to be a member of the army.
When he saw his nephew, Huang Yanjiong already knew that he had been tricked. Qu Yunmie no longer needed him to write the letter of repayment of his favor. He had Huang Keji, who was much more useful than a letter.
