648 I go
Ye Xinyi's concern was not without origin. Although the 200,000 Xia family army was famous, it had already been said before that the Xia family army guarding the southwest was a major shock, but it had not really fought in practice. This is very similar to the Beijing Guards. However, many soldiers in the important towns in the nine borders have fought fiercely with the Tatars from time to time all year round, which is more experienced than them.
Secondly, although the Xia family army claimed to be 200,000, Xia Changhe didn't dare to be too worried about Nanyue at the end, so he left behind an army of 80,000 to continue guarding the southwest, and allocated another 20,000 troops to Xia Yanfeng, which broke into pieces and approached Jiangbei.
He really followed him through the sword gate, passed the Qinling Mountains, and went straight to Guanzhong but only had 100,000 soldiers and horses.
The old town Xihou led his troops to the right way. Although the talents were departing from the capital, they had issued several military orders to the Guanzhong area to mobilize troops and deploy defenses. As soon as Xia Changhe's army arrived in the south of the Weihe River, they encountered a blockade.
The Wei River was naturally dangerous, and there were heavy rains again and the water surged. The Xia family army was blocked on the south bank of the Wei River for a while. When the old town Xihou arrived, he dispatched troops and planned the plan. For a moment, he took advantage of the Wei River for a natural danger to block the Xia family army and could not make any progress.
Xia Changhe felt that he had no choice but to send a letter to Shang's Xia Yanfeng who was dormant south of the Yangtze River, turning him into light and attracting the attention of the court. He naturally had the idea of striking the east and attacking the west.
It is a good plan, but it is extremely dangerous for the side of Xia Yanfeng.
"I'm about to leave here, they will definitely come out to chase me, and you will take the opportunity to lead your troops to occupy this whistle tower." Xia Yanfeng's palm was holding a candlelight in one hand, and lightly tapped on the map with the other hand, turning his head to Shen Yue behind him.
Shen Yue rubbed the tip of his nose with one hand, half of his face hidden in the shadow, "Are you sure you want to do this? You have to know that once you move, the leisure time will be gone. Moreover, if you alarm the Wuchang Guard behind you, we will be attacked from both sides. If they unite and attack on both sides, we will only have 20,000 troops, but we can't hold on."
"This is a military order!" Xia Yanfeng sighed, "In the army, it is a prohibition. So what if I don't think so? All we can do is to complete the task with the smallest sacrifice possible."
"It seems that this is necessary?" Shen Yue asked again. Although he knew in his heart that he had completely given up until he saw Xia Yanfeng nodding his head solemnly. He sighed with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were already clear and calm. "Since that is the case, we must completely cut off the possibility of Wuchang Guards coming to support in the south."
"I'll go!" Ye Xinyi volunteered, "That day, A Yue and I had already visited. Now there are floods in many places, and the roads are blocked. The only place is here..." She drove over, reached out and tapped a certain place on the map, and gently drew an arc with her fingertips. "There is a small road that is the fastest way to go to Wuchang Guard. If you want to report the news, you must choose this place. As long as you give me a team of people, I will be able to keep it here. Please ask the third brother to give an order!" As she said that, she was already bowing towards Xia Yanfeng and holding her fists.
"You go?" Xia Yanfeng looked surprised and subconsciously turned his head to look at Shen Yue.
"What do I do?" Shen Yue glared back at him, "I can't do the master of your sister now. Since she spoke, you or I may not be able to stop her. Why don't you let her go! Anyway, I know her abilities. If she is a man, she must be a tiger general in your Xia family's army. Although she is a daughter, she is also the daughter of your Xia family, so she is naturally a man."
Ye Xinyi snorted at first when he heard his words, and then he laughed, as if he was saying to him, "This is almost the same."
Then he bowed to Xia Yanfeng, "San brother is considered the commander of the first army, so he naturally cannot leave the front line. The other generals and A Yue also have to help the third brother. But I can't help much in the battle before the army. Only this skill is acceptable. I can help the third brother run errands, and it will not deteriorate the reputation of our Xia family's children."
He raised his chin slightly, looking very proud.
Seeing this, Xia Yanfeng shook his head and laughed, "Forget it, my sister is always as good as a man. Besides, although you are the daughter of the Xia family, she is even more of a wife. Since your family has no objection, what can I say? If you want to go there, go! Look! This is for you!" Xia Yanfeng took out a token from his waist and threw it to Ye Xinyi, "I will take it to pick a team of elite soldiers and follow you. But... whether they listen to you depends on your ability."
Whose fist in the army said? Although Ye Xinyi is the daughter of the Xia family, she is a woman, so those people can look down on her first.
"What are you afraid of?" Ye Xinyi grabbed the token with a brisk look on his chin again, "Whoever is not convinced, I will hit him until he is convinced." As he said that, he shook the token and said, "Thank you, Third Brother", and Feng Fenghuohuo left the house.
Seeing this, Xia Yanfeng couldn't help laughing again, "My sister is now spoiled by you. She can't find her virtuous appearance when she first met."
"It's common for outsiders to look like her." Chen Yue held his hand and said in a faint tone. The implication is that if you envy him, you can't be a third brother, just be an outsider.
Xia Yanfeng choked, "This is really protected and can't be said even if you joke."
Chen Yue took it for granted, "I told you that it was your sister, but it was my woman. It is natural for her to care for her and protect her."
Xia Yanfeng rolled his eyes to the sky, too lazy to say anything more.
Chen Yue was quite kind and did not stimulate him again and again. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about the serious matter, "By the way, has there been no news about what I asked you to investigate earlier yet?"
Speaking of this, Xia Yanfeng's expression was a little solemn. He shook his head and said with a hidden worry, "No. I don't know what happened to the other end of the capital, but there was no news coming back, and even the Gray Eagle disappeared."
There was no surprise on Chen Yue's face. He lowered his eyes and covered the dark light in his eyes. "There is only one possibility."
Xia Yanfeng nodded. He had never encountered such a situation before when he managed the Baigui Building for so long, so the news was cut off.
"I don't know the current situation in the capital at this time, but it's not possible." Chen Yue raised his index finger and stroked the tip of his nose.
"Yes!" Xia Yanfeng also sighed, "I'll think of a way!"
"No need to think of any more ways, I'll take someone there in person."
"You are going back to the capital?" Xia Yanfeng's voice changed in shock. He had just escaped from the capital. Why did he want to drill into the dragon and tiger den again?
