On the official road, a vast army was winding forward.

Song Yu's army often used red to respond to fire virtue. From a distance, it looked like a red snake slowly crawling on the ground.

In the army, Ye Jianfeng rode his horse to patrol and saw that the soldiers were energetic and in an orderly manner, so he nodded in his heart and saw another place, but frowned a little.

With the horse whip, the horse ran to the center of the army with Ye Jianfeng.

"Why does my uncle seem to have something to worry about?" Here, hundreds of iron cavalry surrounded the guards, and one person in the center was riding a big red horse with armor on his body. It was Ye Hongyan. But at this moment, his brows were frowning and his face was a little gloomy.

"It's Jianfeng!" The nephew's voice was filled with the passion and anxiety that was unique to young people. It was called innocent loyalty. Ye Hongyan felt very comfortable when she heard this, and her brows spread a little.

But he did not answer and asked, "How is our army's situation?"

This is a serious matter. Ye Jianfeng dared not neglect and said solemnly: "Report to General, our army has just eaten full food and rested again. Now we are on the road, we are full of energy and morale..."

"Okay! The soldiers are the courage of the generals! With such elite soldiers, the foundation for our generals to use their lives..." Ye Hongyan mentioned.

"I understand!" Although Ye Jianfeng had known these principles for a long time, his uncle still listened respectfully.

The later he became, the more serious he felt, because what Ye Hongyan said was the actual experience of military management. Although Ye Jianfeng had talent and was familiar with military books, he did not have such insights. He only felt that he had benefited a lot. He quickly took up his spirit and remembered it with his heart.

Ye Hongyan's attitude was refreshed. Although this nephew was extremely talented, he was a young man after all. He lacked experience. Some theories were passed down from the military generals and did not leave any words. Ye Hongyan had suffered some losses before. After taking many detours, he got some true meaning and now he has given them all.

"The way of military strategy in the book is empty! The actual way of governing the military must be adapted to the times and is real! This combination of virtual and real is the right way to use military force!"

Ye Hongyan finally summarized it in one sentence.

"Uncle Gao Lun. Jianfeng has benefited a lot!" Ye Jianfeng said sincerely.

"Haha... what Uncle Wei said verbally is still my experience. When will you listen to it, understand it thoroughly, and become your own thing? Then Uncle will be very comforted!"

There are many principles in the world, but they cannot escape the threshold of "you must practice it yourself if you know this". Even if you know the truth, you do not practice it carefully. If you practice the principles yourself, you will be useless even if you understand the great way of the universe.

"My uncle is like a god in his military service. This time, Yuzhang must be in one go! Jianfeng congratulates his uncle here first and makes another great contribution!"

Ye Jianfeng said as if congratulating.

"Jianfeng! Do you really think so?" Ye Hongyan slowed down his horse speed and waited for Ye Jianfeng for a moment. He was only one horse head faster than him, which was equivalent to riding together and making it easier to speak.

"When the two counties of Yunshan, when they heard that their uncle's army was coming, they all offered seals and household registration documents and surrendered without fighting. The army not only did not lose one soldier or one soldier, but had nearly a thousand more people. They also opened the road to Yuzhang Prefecture City. Although Ruan Xiaoxu was a little famous and had three thousand soldiers under his command, he was a civil servant. How could he know how to manage the army and fight? When his uncle went there, he would definitely take the Yuzhang Prefecture City and make the first contribution to the lord's lord!"

Ye Jianfeng said with no time to think, this was also his inner thoughts.

Ye Hongyan brought tens of thousands of troops to the border and was also called to serve the king. Although people in the world have some recognition, they are at least famous and not bandits.

Sometimes, it is still very important to have such a set of things, which is directly the difference between the righteous army and the bandit army!

The county magistrates of Anding and Yunshan counties only had hundreds of county soldiers. Once they resisted, they were destroyed by the city, so naturally they would be confiscated and exterminated.

Song Yu's reputation in this area has also spread.

Outsiders all know that the Marquis of Wu will reward you for your merits and punish you for your mistakes. Surrender as soon as possible, at least you can protect your family and be rich and prosperous. Once you resist stubbornly, it will cause trouble to the nine tribes!

The spread of this reputation and Song Yu himself secretly fueled the fire, which was to disintegrate the enemy's resistance in the future.

Now it has indeed received results! The magistrates of these two counties have been forced to surrender due to the situation!

In this way, Ye Hongyan's army not only did not lose, but instead added thousands of county soldiers and county treasury supplies to the two counties.

This is also a great help to the morale of the army!

Ye Jianfeng saw it and had no doubt about his uncle's victory!

"Jianfeng! You're very reasonable! But your vision is limited to Yuzhang Mansion!" Ye Hongyan glanced at the nephew and said.

"The lord once taught me that for generals, one should have a view of the overall situation and not be limited to the gains and losses of a city and a place!"

"Today, my uncle will also give you this sentence!"

Ye Jianfeng was a little confused, but also a little sober, and couldn't help but say: "My nephew is stupid! Please give me some advice on my uncle!"

"Do you know how many people and horses are under my command of Marquis Wu?" Ye Hongyan asked slowly.

"There are 30,000 troops under the command of Wu Hou, and 6,000 Shanyue, a total of 36,000 troops! This time, except for the five thousand left behind Wu Nan, the rest were brought with me, and there were 31,000 troops!"

Everyone nearby is all military officers. They understand the system under Song Yu, so there is no need to hide it. Ye Jianfeng just tells the truth.

Having said this, I had a flash of inspiration in my heart and some understanding.

"Not bad! The lord has only more than 30,000 troops from Wu Nan's army! No matter how many, it will damage the people's strength and affect the farming harvest!"

"Thirty thousand people, say more than more, and say less. In the whole Wuzhou, except for Wu Nan, the rest is almost the same number! Our army wants to unify Wuzhou with 30,000 people. Although we take the lead, we cannot be careless!"

Ye Hongyan looked extremely cautious and said in a low voice.

"The lord has only 30,000 people, but I give me 10,000. What a great trust! If I cannot successfully take Yuzhang, wouldn't I go to see my lord without any face?"

Ye Jianfeng nodded slowly.

"Yuzhang City is the capital of the palace. The city is high and the pond is deep, and there are three thousand soldiers. They are full of food and fodder. If they attack hard, they can be taken down, but how much time and soldiers are consumed?"

Speaking of this, Ye Hongyan asked, "Jianfeng! You said, if our army attacked Yuzhang for a force, how long will it take and how many people will be damaged?"

Ye Jianfeng had a cold sweat on his forehead. After pondering for a while, he said, "If you attack with no internal response, then you will be able to take it down. At least 30% of the army will be damaged, which will take a month!"

"Not bad! This is the minimum limit! But think about it, there are more than ten prefectures in the northern part of Wuzhou. If every prefecture takes more than a month and damages thousands, then our army will lose all the money before it can capture Wuzhou..."

"What's more, the lord tried his best to seize this first move and prevented the provincial governor from reacting. If the opportunity was delayed and the provincial governor was given the opportunity to integrate, the situation of Wuzhou would change drastically, and it would be even more troublesome at that time..."

Ye Jianfeng suddenly realized.

At this time, the strength is superior, and it is natural to take over Yuzhang City, and no one is afraid of it. However, it is difficult to preserve its strength and not take time.

This world is still the era of cold weapons. Every time there are big battles, there are close combat, and at most some bows and crossbows are the same.

But it still has little effect in siege. How could it be possible to conquer a big city without killing some people?

Ye Jianfeng finally understood the reason why his uncle was always frowning recently.

He said with a guess: "Uncle has been asking the army to move slowly. Could it be that he has the intention of surrendering?"

If you want to use it for a short time and preserve the vitality of the army, unless Ruan Xiaoxu opens the city and surrenders himself, or lies in the city of Yuzhang Prefecture.

"Not bad! The army pressed hard, which would only make Yuzhang Prefecture City unite. If you leave room, you will think more and find some way out. People's hearts have been like this since ancient times. This is our opportunity. I have sent me to contact you in secret, and there will be news soon..."

"But you can't just rely on this. At critical moments, even if there is a loss, you have to fight hard!"

Ye Hongyan said, and evil spirits appeared on her tough face.

"Compared with the loss of the army, time is still important! Is it really because Ruan Xiaoxu hesitated and stopped fighting? I gave time to the inner support and also asked the rear to step up the production of siege equipment. If Ruan Xiaoxu was still at the end of the head and rat, then he would only let Yu Zhang see blood..."

Although Ye Hongyan only said a few words, Ye Jianfeng heard a smell of blood coming from it.

I know that if the loss is too great, even if the lord does not give orders, my uncle will slaughter the city to inspire morale, and that the creatures will inevitably suffer a disaster!

...

On February 10, the army arrived at the foot of Yuzhang Prefecture City.

Ruan Xiaoxu climbed to the top of the city and looked at the Wuhou army below. He saw that there were more than 10,000 people in red uniforms. It looked like a red wave, and it was like a burning red flame, exuding a touching power!

The guards in Yuzhang Prefecture City were forced by this majestic military aura and their hands were trembling, and they could hardly control the weapons in their hands.

These soldiers in the palace have been living a pampered life for a long time. Although they have some training and their bodies are still there, they have not been fighting on the battlefield. How can they compete with the Wu Hou army, which is like a wolf and a tiger?

Ruan Xiaoxu couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart.

At this time, several strong horses flew out from the army of Wu Hou and came to the bottom of Yuzhang Prefecture.

"Listen to the people in the city! My lord, Wu, is in accordance with the order of heaven, and is ordered to serve the king... The general is kind and considers it for a day... If you resist stubbornly, you will not be punished, and it will be too late to regret it... Don't say that you are not prepared for what you say!"

There was a loud voice officer shouting loudly.

The officer's voice was like a bell, and he heard it for miles. This was a curse specially trained by the army. The two armies called each other, or persuaded them to surrender at the last minute, and they were often used.

At this time, when I heard the officer's words on the city wall, I felt a little turbulent.

Song Yu is well-known for his reputation, and he has never suffered a defeat since the uprising. He has become a ghost-like figure in Wuzhou.

Ordinary soldiers, seeing that the army under the city exceeded 10,000, and only 3,000 of them were on their own, the strength of strength was revealed, and they felt a little worried. (To be continued...)
