One hundred thousand elite troops led by Qi Zhan arrived at the front line a month later, along with Qi Hong's imperial edict to dispatch the soldiers of King Huai.
King Huai had received the news half a month ago. After being mentally prepared, he did not show too much anger and calmly transferred 200,000 elite troops away from the front line. This made the two lieutenants who were about to watch the show feel that It's boring.
After Qi Zhan settled the soldiers, he was called to the tent by King Huai.
The space inside the tent is very wide, with a long spliced ??lacquered wood table placed in the middle, with drawings indicating the terrain placed on it. King Huai was standing in front of the table, discussing something with Qi Hao. He looked up and saw Qi Zhan coming in. He hurriedly waved and said: "Zhan'er, come here."
Although the voice was as majestic as before, the more than two months of military life had made his hair gray and the traces of time appeared on his face, as if he had aged ten years overnight.
Qi Zhan walked to King Huai's side and whispered: "Father."
King Huai nodded and agreed. He did not exchange any more greetings with him. He pointed at the circle marked with a red pen on the map and said to Qi Zhan: "Pingfang is an important border town in Daye, but now it has been blocked by Beigao. It is really difficult for my father to sleep and eat well. My father has just discussed with your second brother and plans to send three thousand light cavalry around to the rear at midnight tonight to attack his granary, and then set up an ambush along the road to cut off his grain route. Zhan'er thought that how?"
Qi Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Attacking the granary is preparing for a war of attrition.
Although Beigao captured Pingfang, the people in Pingfang had evacuated three months ago. What Beigao now occupies is just an empty city.
Pingfang is close to the mountains to the west, to the east is the front line of the battle between the two armies, and to the south is the tightly deployed city blockade of Daye. King Huai only needs to set up an ambush in the north and surround Pingfang until Beigao runs out of ammunition and food. , you can take it down effortlessly.
This is indeed a very sound tactic.
"But King Huai has always been brave and bellicose, so why would he waste his time now and start a war of attrition with Beigao?"
Qi Zhan frowned slightly, and King Huai saw his expression in his eyes and asked, "Does Zhan'er think there is something wrong?"
Qi Zhan was silent for a long time and said: "No, it's very safe. Just do what father said."
King Huai nodded, suddenly looked at Qi Zhan, and asked, "Is Zhan'er confident tonight?"
Qi Zhan was startled, but before he could answer, Qi Hao on the side intervened: "Fifth brother has just traveled a long way to reach the army, and he must be very tired now. Why not let fifth brother have a good rest for two days, and let the child take care of himself first?" Go ahead."
King Huai was stunned, as if he didn't expect Qi Hao to suddenly speak for Qi Zhan.
But he did not do this intentionally to embarrass Qi Zhan, but because he really could not find a suitable candidate.
Although Qi Hao is older than Qi Zhan, it is his first time to go on an expedition. Compared with Qi Zhan, he has many shortcomings. If he encounters any situation, he will definitely not act as decisively as Qi Zhan.
And he himself is already over fifty, and his physical strength is declining year by year. It would be okay if he confronts the enemy head-on, but if he wants to make a surprise attack, he is indeed a little unable to do what he wants.
Not to mention the few lieutenants sent by Qi Hong, they are really like troublemakers. It would be good if they don't cause trouble for him. Asking them to lead troops on an expedition is simply a fantasy.
And the special choice of tonight for the raid was also carefully considered.
The people of Beigao must not have expected that Qi Zhan, who has just arrived at the front line, will lead a surprise attack tonight. He has long been prepared to catch Beigao off guard. If he missed today and Beigao was prepared, the surprise attack would not be as good as today. So easy.
But if Qi Zhan was unwilling to go, he would not bet on the war and force Qi Zhan to go on the expedition.
King Huai did not answer Qi Hao's words, but turned to look at Qi Zhan and asked, "What do you think of Zhan'er?"
Qi Zhan said: "Just follow what father said."
King Huai laughed loudly and said, "Okay, father, I will arrange the soldiers right now. You go back to the tent to prepare."

The night in the desert is extremely quiet.
Weiming Yunqin was lying on a haystack outside Pingfang City, looking up at the nebula in the sky, his thoughts already drifting into the distance.
It has been more than three months since he returned from Daye. Although the second prince failed to ascend the throne due to his obstruction, he was still unable to return to the country and could only temporarily hide in a small town on the outskirts of Pingfang.
The town has long since become an empty town. There is no one in the surrounding houses, and soldiers will not come here. The five brothers are hiding here. Although they are very safe, they are also very lonely.
He often thinks of his mother and concubine, and also of himDuring the days in the palace, I often thought of Daye and those eyes as clear as springs.
I don¡¯t know how she is doing now.
Wei Ming Yunqin's eyes darkened, and he had just turned over and was about to go back to his room to sleep, when suddenly dots of firelight lit up in the distant sky, spreading quickly across the horizon like clouds, and then , the sound of soldiers shouting to put out the fire came.
After Ye Lirong heard the sound, he thought something had happened and hurriedly ran out of the house. He looked up and saw the fire that illuminated half of the city like daylight. He couldn't help but stayed for a moment and stammered: "This ¡¡This is¡¡"
Weiming Yunqin's previously depressed expression had long since disappeared. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said, "There's a fire. It's in the direction of the granary."
Ye Lirong was stunned: "Who set the fire?"
"Who else could it be?" Weiming Yunqin smiled and said, "Didn't you hear that the Crown Prince just arrived at the front line today?"
Ye Lirong scratched his head and said: "But the prince just arrived at Pingfang this morning. Logically speaking, shouldn't he recharge his batteries and take a good rest for two days to discuss the battle plan with King Huai?"
Weiming Yunqin said: "He has never acted according to common sense. Besides, it only takes an hour to discuss the plan. How can it take two days? Do you think the people in Prince Huai's palace are just like the second prince's subordinates, all idiots?" ?¡±
Ye Lirong said: "Even if he is not a straw bag, it will not stop the emperor from being suspicious. Has the young master heard about the imperial edict that came from Daye today?"
"Of course I heard about it." Weiming Yunqin laughed and said: "The Emperor of Daye thought that he could use this to contain King Huai, but he didn't know that this move just sounded the alarm to King Huai, even if King Huai doesn't want to rebel yet. , after he finished handling the frontline war, he had to fight back. Not to mention transferring 200,000 elite soldiers, even if only 200,000 were left for King Huai, King Huai and the Crown Prince could still lead the troops to attack the capital of Daye. "
Ye Lirong felt that Wei Ming Yunqin's words were true, and Qi Zhan's courage and strategy were indeed unparalleled. He couldn't help but sigh: "That Emperor Daye is really a fool, even stupider than our second prince from Bei Gao It¡¯s a pity that this warehouse contains military rations.¡±
"What's such a pity? It's an excellent opportunity for us."
Weiming Yunqin paused for a moment and then said: "Pingfang is now out of ammunition and food, and King Huai is bound to set up an ambush in the north. Do you think my second brother will save the soldiers in this city, or not?"
Ye Lirong could not answer, but stared blankly at the fire that was as red as blood on the horizon.

Qi Zhan's raid was particularly smooth. Only two of the three thousand elite soldiers were slightly injured. King Huai was overjoyed and set up an ambush in the north according to the previous plan. He successively seized a lot of grain and grass baggage shipped from Beigao. The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted. , even the clouds of disastrous defeat in the past month have long since disappeared.
Only the two lieutenants and one who joined the army who came with King Huai were not so happy.
He was said to be a deputy general, but he had never been on the battlefield. He said he was joining the army, but he didn't even know King Huai's plan. He was completely on the outside and had to accompany King Huai to endure hardships on the border. It really made the three of them feel sad. Very boring.
Although Qi Hong sent them here not to let them fight, they were still very unwilling to see their military achievements slip away from their hands.
"We can't let General Huai take all the credit, otherwise wouldn't they really become running companions?"
The three of them were sitting in the tent. You looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, they had no choice but to shake their heads and take a sip of wine with a sigh. For a long time, they couldn't think of a solution.
But soon, their thoughts were disrupted by the noise outside the tent.
The leader, deputy general Wang Huai, hurriedly got up and went to check outside the tent. He saw soldiers walking in a hurry, and several military doctors could be vaguely seen rushing to King Huai's tent, as if something important had happened.
Wang Huai quickly stopped the soldier in front of him and asked, "What happened?"
The soldier said: "The prince is injured and is waiting in King Huai's tent for the military doctor to check."
Wang Huai¡¯s eyes lit up.
The prince is injured?
