Seeing that Zhao Zheng's nose was sweating, Xie Yuheng took out a fan and waved it gently to dispel some of the stuffiness.

She continued, "However, it is indeed courageous to dare to camp forty miles outside the pass."

"Or, in other words, he is arrogant."

An ordinary horse needs to rest after running thirty miles.

But the better war horses can still run.

The vanguard troops covered the distance of forty miles in the blink of an eye.

Chu Chen burped again and interrupted, "That's not the way to say it. We have a lot of people and we have the capital to be arrogant."

"Besides, they are camped nearby, so they might find it convenient to raid Daliang."

Xie Yuheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense."

Chu Chen: ??? It’s so rare to be approved of. Is this black-hearted kid taking the wrong medicine?

Zhao Zheng frowned, "Are you planning to raid the enemy camp?"

Xie Yuheng smiled and said, "Yes and no."

Chu Chen got up after eating and lay down on the couch next to him. He closed his eyes and said, "Listening to you two talking is really tiring."

Xie Yuheng carefully considered the situation and asked, "The Yizhou army was ambushed a few days ago. Does this mean that the Wusun coalition army has mobilized troops?"

"I don't know. If they were to mobilize troops, they wouldn't go through the border."

To Chu Chen, the sound of their conversation sounded like the lullaby his mother sang when he was a child, and he soon began to snore.

Xie Yuheng, Zhao Zheng: "......"

Xie Yuheng lowered his eyes and explained softly, "That day in Zhangye, I saw an 800-li express post, so I sped up my journey."

"You travel day and night. Your Majesty is old, so he must be tired."

Who wouldn’t be tired after traveling so fast? Zhao Zheng was just about to ask Xie Yuheng to take a rest as well.

Then he continued, "Finally, please ask Uncle Zhao to tell Yu Heng about the other general's information."

"The opposing commander is Anda, who is also the elder brother of that person... An Fan."

"The deputy general's surname is only Tu. He is an expert in Daliang Mandarin. He is the one who usually challenges the enemy in front of the battle."

"This person's mouth is like a cesspool, full of stench!"

When Zhao Zheng said this, his face showed extreme disgust.

Xie Yuheng stroked his chin with his long fingers. He was very curious whether this man's words were harder or the sniper rifle's bullet was harder.

"The general who led Yili was named Chengge."

"The leader of the Scythians, his name is Aba or something, anyway, it's a long list."

"I don't remember exactly what they are called. Why don't you ask your deputy to take them to see the Wusun soldiers later?"

Xie Yuheng raised his eyebrows, "Oh? They even captured the Wusun soldiers alive?"

"At the beginning, they didn't grasp the range of the three-bow crossbow well, and many of them were shot to death."

"There was a person who was trampled by his own people but was still alive. He was picked up."

Xie Yuheng nodded, glanced at the cloth draped over Zhao Zheng, put down her folding fan, and stood up.

"Then Yuheng will go and ask the deputy general first. I will ask the guards to come in and fan Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. Remember to rest early after you finish asking questions."

"With nearly 10,000 of you entering the city, I don't think you can hide it from the scouts from Wusun."

"I calculated that if their baggage train is ready, they will be out of soldiers in the next two days if they want to mobilize."

However, after Xie Yuheng went out, he did let his personal soldiers enter the tent and also went to look for the deputy general.

But in the end, he went to the military doctor's tent with the deputy general.

After showing some of the medicines Rong Er brought to the military doctor, he selected some of the pain-relieving drugs and added them to Zhao Zheng's next meal.

It’s better than Zhao Zheng waking up in pain every night and keeping his eyes open until dawn.

The military doctor stroked his white beard and said with emotion: "The Marquis is really very considerate. The general is often woken up by pain at night..."

Xie Yuheng said modestly, "Uncle Zhao's dark circles are scary and hard to ignore."

She asked about Zhao Zheng's injuries, and after the medicine was ready, she returned to the central military tent with the deputy general.

Zhao Zheng's wounds had already been patched up by his personal guards.

At this time, the sky had already completely darkened and people felt a little cold, so it was appropriate to cover themselves with a piece of cloth.

There were other generals in the tent, gathered in front of the map to discuss matters.

Only Chu Chen was still sleeping peacefully, not disturbed by the noise of people talking.

After Zhao Zheng finished drinking the medicine, he sighed, "Just now I thought about it again, and I feel that Wusun will not miss such a good opportunity."

"As reinforcements are entering the city, the tension among our soldiers will be relaxed. The reinforcements have been rushing in all night, and their men and horses are exhausted..."

......

In Daliang, all the generals and soldiers gathered together to discuss matters.

In the camp of the Wusun coalition forces, all the generals gathered together, drinking wine and reciting poems, and discussing the country's situation with their maps.

Yili's general Cheng Ge, who looked very gentle, pointed to the location of Yumen Pass on the map.

"This evening, I don't know where the cavalry from Liang State came to help. The scouts reported that there were about 10,000 of them."

A bearded man waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's only 10,000 people, just sprinkle some water."

A Wusun soldier sitting in the first seat echoed: "Lord Abastai is right!"

"Even these ten thousand cavalrymen are not enough to give our Scythian brothers a good kill!"

Abastai was very pleased with the flattery.

He glanced at Cheng Ge and a puff of hot air blew out of his nose.

He snatched the roasted lamb leg in front of him, opened his mouth wide and took a bite.

The lamb leg was not cooked through and there was even blood dripping from it.

It was both nauseating and embarrassing to watch.

But the princess had already married Kunmo of Wusun, and the king had been fooled by the Wusun envoys and was at a loss as to what to do.

He is a subject, so what can he do?

He suppressed his anger and looked at the Wusun commander, Anda, who was sitting at the top.

He advised: "General, I think it would be best if the Scythian soldiers attacked Yumen tonight."

"At night, the troops were scarce and the visibility was poor. The Liang Kingdom's three-bow crossbows were unable to lock onto our commander. This was a godsend opportunity."

Anda held the wine cup, looked straight ahead, seemed to be thinking, and did not answer.

When Abastai heard this, his face changed instantly and he threw the leg of lamb heavily in front of Chengge.

"Why should only our Scythian soldiers send out the troops?"

The meat scraps mixed with dust splashed onto Cheng Ge's face.

Cheng Ge endured it again and again, and said in a calm tone: "Since it is a surprise attack, the cavalry should be the main force."

"150,000 Scythian cavalry is the most suitable."

Abbastai glanced at him and sneered, "Yes, not every country has cavalry."

"But doesn't Wusun also have 100,000 cavalry?"

Seeing the fire burning on himself, Anda slowly spoke.

"General Cheng's words make sense, but he didn't take into account General Abastai's feelings."

"Since General Abastai is unwilling, let's mobilize tomorrow."

"The Liang Kingdom only has a little over 200,000 soldiers. If we work together, shouldn't it be as easy as taking something out of a bag?"

After Anda finished speaking, he gave a look to Deputy General Tu who was in the first position.
