Qu Yunmie's original plan was to experience a day of fierce fighting, and then rush to the north gate of Shengle without stopping, climb their city walls, and kill everyone he met.
Not to mention how far it is from the south gate to the north gate of Xianbei, Qu Yunmie's habit of thinking that the world is him has not changed at all. He thinks that if he has the energy to run all night after a day of fierce fighting, then the soldiers under him should also have this energy.
Everyone says that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, but tired soldiers are worse than arrogant soldiers. The art of war teaches generals how to turn the enemy's troops into tired soldiers. But when it comes to Qu Yunmie, it's the other way around. He wants to take tired soldiers directly to the battlefield. ...
So it's impossible, to complete this plan in one day, it's absolutely impossible.
This process must last at least seven days, during which several generals need to work together to control the rhythm. They must defeat the Xianbei people but not let them see that they won easily. They need to give them an illusion that they still have a chance of turning the tables.
This was done in order to lure out more Xianbei troops. There were still tens of thousands of people inside Shengle City, all of them were elites of the Murong tribe. After nearly a hundred years of power corruption, the Murong tribe had almost become rotten to the core. But there was one very sad thing. The nobles of the Yong Dynasty were rotten and cowardly. Even someone like Xiao Rong could kill three of them with one sword. Although the nobles of the Murong tribe were rotten, they could still fight. Even a pot-bellied man in his fifties from the Murong tribe could still go into battle and kill the enemy if he was given a horse.
This should be the pride of their entire nation, but countless examples have proved that fighting alone is not enough, unity and wisdom are more important. …
During these seven days of fierce fighting, the troops going to support Qu Yunmie should have set out from the first day. If everything went well, they should reach Qingluanling in three days. Although there were no shelters on the road, it would be different when they reached Qingluanling. There were valleys there, so they could just find a suitable place and hide quietly.
But this was not an easy job. In order to avoid being discovered by the Xianbei people, they could not cook or make any noise. The entire army could only crouch down and hide in the grass or deep in the dense forest, living with snakes, insects, rats and ants.
It's so miserable... It's late autumn now, and the animals are not hibernating. They are all gaining weight. Even foxes have become more aggressive. And those mosquitoes that have stubbornly survived from the Cretaceous period to the present are the most poisonous, but you can only endure it if you are bitten.
They are bitten during the day and frozen at night. This is a collective action. Without a strong mind, a single bad apple may spoil the whole barrel. The general leading them must be able to control them.
Qu Yunmie said that he only needed 3,000 men, and Xiao Rong wanted him to bring 30,000. However, the number of 30,000 was a bit exaggerated, mainly because there was no valley big enough to hide so many people.
So after several discussions, it was finally decided to be 14,000 people.
There are both fractions and whole numbers, because this is the result of bargaining. …
As for the generals leading the team, one was Wang Xinyong and the other was Yu Shaocheng.
The former was proposed by Xiao Rong, and the latter was designated by Qu Yunmie.
The reason is very simple. Wang Xinyong is a man of super stable character. Otherwise, he would not be able to get into F4 as a surrendered general. Moreover, he has been at the bottom of F4 for many years, but he has no opinion at all. No matter how strong the wind blows, I will remain unmoved. This kind of character is perfect for staying in the wild.
In addition, Xiao Rong also wanted to praise him. He had worked hard for so many years, but all the credit went to the other three. Wang Xinyong didn't even have a chance. This was really unfair. In the official history, he followed Qu Yunmie to the end, and did not surrender again until he was caught. So without exception, he was killed.
Wang Xinyong is the oldest in F4, already 32 years old. When he met Qu Yunmie, he was also one of the rising stars in Nanyong. But the rising star was defeated by Taiyang, and he became Qu Yunmie's prisoner dejectedly. Seeing that he had good abilities, Qu Yunmie showed mercy and exempted him from prisoner status, allowing him to stay with him.
Although Qu Yunmie always ignored Wang Xinyong and even said that he didn't like him, looking back on Qu Yunmie's life, Wang Xinyong was the only prisoner he let go, never before and never after.
Xiao Rong didn't know whether Wang Xinyong was grateful to Qu Yunmie for this, or because he never spoke, so no one knew that he actually agreed with Qu Yunmie's ideas. In short, no matter what the reason was, as long as he was sincere in staying in the Zhenbei Army, it would be fine. Xiao Rong thought, if Qu Yunmie didn't want to carry him, then I would carry him. ...
Jian Qiao was devastated.
He thought that among the four of them, he and Xiao Rong had the best relationship. Could it be that this was all his wishful thinking? Was everything in the past, from Pingyang City to Yanmen County, and then from Yanmen County to Chenliu, all wrong? !
Yu Shaocheng looked at Jian Qiao's depressed face and quietly moved away from him.
Even if Wang Xinyong and Yu Shaocheng were the ones who led the troops to attack the North Gate, it didn't mean that the others had nothing to do. The hard fighting in the previous seven days were all the responsibility of other people. However, everyone with a discerning eye knew where the main credit for this battle lay, so everyone wanted to go to the North Gate.
Well... not everyone, so Gongsun Yuan didn’t care.
As for Yuan Baifu, he lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Xiao Rong couldn't help but look at him.
The list of these two people was discussed privately by Xiao Rong and Qu Yunmie. They argued for a long time. Xiao Rong was not satisfied with Qu Yunmie's assignment, and Qu Yunmie was also not satisfied with Xiao Rong's suggestion. Qu Yunmie's reason was very simple. Wang Xinyong was a stable person, but a sneak attack did not require stability but speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. What if Wang Xinyong hesitated, wouldn't everything be a loss?
Xiao Rong's reason for objection was even simpler. You kangaroo-head, do you know what it means to control your subordinates? ! Yu Shaocheng is so young, he is not even the commander of an army! He can't convince the people at all, but you put him in such an important position, then you can only expect the people below to be resentful!
Qu Yunmie, however, was confident and righteous. In war, people did not care about personal relationships and status, but only about the competent. He was particularly optimistic about Yu Shaocheng because he was strong in martial arts, energetic, and had a strong aura when doing things, which made people dare not disobey him. More importantly, he was courageous and knew how to seize opportunities. Didn't Xiao Rong want him to cooperate with others? Then he felt that Yu Shaocheng was the person who could cooperate with him the most.
Xiao Rong: “…………”
Xiao Rong was so angry that he fell backwards. Although what Qu Yunmie said made sense, he was actually changing the subject. He didn't talk about other people at all. The main reason why Xiao Rong opposed him was because Yu Shaocheng's status was too low.
But it was Qu Yunmie who chose his partner, not him. Besides, Qu Yunmie was an intuitive general. People he thought were good would often cooperate well with him later, even if he himself didn't know the reason behind it.
Compared to the possibility that someone might be unhappy, Qu Yunmie's safety is definitely more important. Xiao Rong does not want to bring any danger to Qu Yunmie because of the problem of selection.
So he finally agreed, but he had a condition, that Wang Xinyong must be brought along. Originally, he only suggested using Wang Xinyong, but now he felt that Wang Xinyong must be used. If Yu Shaocheng, that crazy man, suddenly went crazy, at least there was another steady old man in the army to help out. …
Wang Xinyong looked miserable. This was a good job, but why did he have to partner with Yu Shaocheng? He was not familiar with Yu Shaocheng. The only two times they interacted, somehow the topic always ended up with Yu Shaoxie. Wang Xinyong thought he was a bit weird and didn't want to spend several days with him.
How terrible, the two generals will definitely be together at that time, waiting is boring, they will definitely chat, he doesn't want to always agree with Yu Shaocheng. ...
This was the general plan. Since it involved a sneak attack, Xiao Rong did not plan to inform the reinforcements about this matter.
It would be better to hide it from as many people as possible. Anyway, these reinforcements knew the situation well. They were just here to make up the numbers and add gilding. Neither they nor the Zhenbei Army had ever thought about trusting each other.
Three days before the war, Fuzi was about to set out. He was tasked with persuading the Kumo Xi people, which was a heavy burden.
Someone came to persuade Mi Jing to relax and not be too discouraged if he failed. At worst they could just take a detour. Anyway, under Xiao Rong's new plan, they were no longer in such a hurry and could catch up even if they walked a few hundred more miles.
Mi Jing smiled at those who came to persuade him. Actually, he felt fine. After years of being immersed in Buddhism and the troubled times, Mi Jing had become a somewhat contradictory person. He obviously wanted to do what was in his heart very much, but after he really did it, his mentality became very calm.
