"Why?" Yuan Shao wrote the last circle on the red tracing notebook, and put down his pen slowly.Little Eleven, who was sitting beside him, stretched his neck and watched helplessly as his father marked his homework. At this moment, he hurriedly jumped down and stood still.

Even the curvature of the small chin when the lips are tightened is exactly the same as Ling Yucheng!Obviously it's my son!

Spinning some weird thoughts, Yuan Shao remained silent and looked down solemnly.Standing by the side, Little Eleven clearly saw that the group of old men were still boiling with anger when they came in, but under the eyes of the father, they all lowered their heads, and the whole person seemed to have shrunk.

"Be calm and calm." Father's usual teachings sounded in his heart. Compared with the situation in front of him, it seemed more like Jin Lunyu's voice, "When you panic, others will take advantage of the situation. On the contrary, the calmer you are, the more calm others will be." The lower your momentum is, the more you are obviously reasonable, and I dare not speak to you one sentence at a time."

At this time, the father was like this. Facing the aggressive questions of a group of white-haired old men, he took a sip of tea in his spare time: "Zhu Qing asked to see you late at night, but what is the urgent military situation?"

"No—but..."

"Since there is no one, what is the important thing for you to come to see me?"

"Sir wait..."

At this moment Yuan Shaoan was sitting in front of the table, and the courtiers who entered the tent to see him were standing a few steps away from him, in terms of height, Yuan Shao had to raise his head to meet their eyes.However, Yuan Shao's gaze had a condescending aura, which made everyone feel prickly.After pushing left and right for a while, in the end it was King Xi's uncle who stood up bravely and spoke:

"I just want to ask Your Majesty to explain, how long are we going to defend like this, why don't we attack?"

"Didn't you say that during the military discussion earlier?" Yuan Shao put the teacup in his hand on the table, and there was a light "da". "It's not easy to remember when you're old, so I'll take the time to explain it again. --Lei Yong, how are our casualties now?"

"Report to Your Majesty," Lei Yong is the busiest one these days, he has to command the defense of the entire settlement externally, and internally, the defense of the imperial camp cannot be neglected.It was night now, and the casualties of the day had just been reported, and the notebook in my hand was still exuding the fragrance of fresh ink, and I could report back when I opened it:

"Our army killed more than [-] people, seriously injured [-], and slightly injured more than [-]. Those who are lightly injured will be able to fight tomorrow."

"How about the enemy?"

"There were more than [-] corpses left before the battle. The number of people who were seriously or slightly injured was because the enemy dragged them back. It's hard to estimate now."

"How about the casualties of women and children?"

"The dead were only a dozen or so, and there were over a hundred injuries, most of them... were injured by flying arrows."

I remember Ling Yucheng once said that as long as the equipment and training of the defending side are not too bad, the casualties of the defending side can be controlled to almost one third of those of the attacking side.However, in the figures reported by Lei Yong just now, the ratio is not the most important, the important thing is...

"Have you heard? --If we take the initiative to attack, not to mention casualties, may the women and children in the camp be saved?"

"...Your Majesty is naturally holy," the figure of the bloody forest is placed here, even if he feels that he is beaten by the enemy and huddled in the camp, he is very depressed, and Xi Wang's uncle is not easy to refute the iron-like facts, " I just want to ask, how long are you going to guard?"

"What do you say?"

"When will it be worth guarding like this!... Tomorrow, tomorrow will be able to attack, right?"

Seeing Yuan Shao leaning back on the back of the chair, his face loosened, the people of the Xi clan standing behind him gradually became bolder, and their voices gradually rose from whispers:

"Obviously the enemy army is exhausted..."

"As long as we have 1 more people in our hands, no, 5000 people, we can beat them to death!"

"We shouldn't have divided our troops back then..."

"That's right! - There are only 5 people, and [-] people are forced to go out..."

"It's been seven days, we've been fighting desperately here, and they haven't moved at all..."

Yuan Shao's eyes became colder and colder.At the time of the military discussion, he originally wanted to lead troops to attack, but it was Ling Yucheng's persuasion that made him agree to stick here.Thinking of Ling Yucheng trekking through the wind and snow when these guys stayed in the camp safely, Yuan Shao felt a surge of anger from the bottom of his heart:

"That's enough!—The ones outside right now are my soldiers!...One thousand Xuanjia guards, three thousand Yulin guards, five hundred heaven guards, five hundred flying cavalry guards, you eagle guards, flying bear guards, leopard guards There are only 1000 people from Taowei's family! How to fight this battle is up to you!"

"That's my queen. It was I who sent him to divide his troops and wait for an opportunity to attack! I trust him!"

If it wasn't for King Xi's useless thing that hasn't been heard from until now, there's no need for his queen to do it herself!

In fact, even if the northern barbarian cavalry attacked the camp again and again, it was calculated by Ling Yucheng before he left: "Your Majesty must give them hope and make them feel that if they work harder, they can break through the city, so that they will Stick here and don't leave... Only here will I have a chance to catch them all."

The soft contractions and counterattacks time after time, the seemingly inexhaustible flaws time after time, are actually just faithfully fulfilling the will of the coach.

"The law of war says that if you defend for a long time, you will lose. I am still worried that they will surround the point to fight for reinforcements. If this continues, they will become stronger and stronger, and our fight here will only become weaker... We must divide our troops. Your Majesty is here to stand firm, and I will lead troops outside to wait for opportunities." And move, and when they are exhausted to the extreme, give them a fatal blow..."

At that time, Ling Yucheng stretched out his hand and pointed back and forth on the map, but he grabbed it and held it tightly in his hand: "I just led the soldiers out. You have only been here for three years, and how much experience do you have in marching on the snowy field? I am better than You are stronger..."

To put it bluntly, Ling Yucheng just shook his head: "If His Majesty is here, the Xi Clan will be at ease. I can't control those people..."

"You are my queen, who dares to disobey your orders?"

The two argued back and forth for half an hour, but neither of them would give in.What finally convinced Yuan Shao was Ling Yucheng's words with a smile:

"The lord worries about the humiliation of the minister, and the lord humiliates the minister to death. With the minister here, there is no reason for His Majesty to fight in person... Besides, if the Majesty is not there, even if the minister wins the battle, where can he go back?"

In an instant, Yuan Shao thought of a comparison he made to his son-in-law three years ago.

"Stay tied up and locked up, no matter how good an eagle is, it has to become a waste. The preciousness of an eagle is that after he can fly out to hunt, he will also be willing to fly back to eat on your hand and sleep on your arm. So far Only then will the eagle be truly grown."

Now, does this eagle regard his side as his refuge?

The sudden joy made him nod his head involuntarily, and every hour after that, he regretted his original decision.

On that day, Ling Yucheng's order was - "pack ten days of rations, pack lightly, and attack with me!" Two hundred personal guards were left to plan the defense of the camp, and the remaining 800 people followed him into the wind without looking back. in the snow.

Under Yuan Shao's sudden anger, the imperial tent quickly returned to emptiness and tranquility.Seeing those old men with white hair and beards running away as if they were running away, and even Uncle Lei also resigned, Xiao Shiyi climbed onto Yuan Shao's seat with all hands and feet, and quietly hugged his father's arm:

"Father..."

"Ok?"

"When will Master come back?"

I also want him to come back soon.Holding the body of his son Xiao Xiaonuan, Yuan Shao felt guilty like never before.Warm pillows in the high bed in the imperial camp, I can’t help but think that Ling Yucheng only has a blanket to wrap himself in, not even a tent; here there are three hot soup and hot meals a day, Ling Yucheng can only eat dry food and eat ice and snow when he is outside...

"Lang'er," he got up and got off his seat, walked out of the tent with his youngest son in his hand, and looked up.On the dark blue sky, a round of moon hangs brightly in the night sky.Yuan Shao calculated the date silently, raised his hand, and pointed to the half-round moon:

"When the moon is full, your master will be back..."

From that day on, Xiao Shiyi would stand at the door of the tent and watch the moon for a while before going to bed every night.Confirm that the moon is a little rounder than last night, and the smile on the child's face will be a little bigger than yesterday.

However, on the night of the full moon, he waited from noon until nightfall, and went in and out dozens of times. Every time, what he waited for was full of wind and snow.

"Go to sleep." At the second watch, Yuan Shao had no choice but to carry him in personally, and wrapped him tightly with a quilt in his arms. "Get some sleep, eh?"

"Master..."

"Lang'er is obedient, go to bed obediently. If you can't fall asleep, Master will feel uneasy if he finds out..."

"Okay..." Aggrieved voice.The little guy got under the quilt, and was sleepy from the heating on his father's body, his eyelids drooped quickly, "I'm good... Father, let Master come back soon..."

Coaxed the younger son to sleep, but Yuan Shao himself couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Although there were still several miles away from the edge of the camp, Yuan Shao clearly felt that the sound of horns and shouts of killing came wave after wave, making his heart fluctuate.Listening attentively, Diao Dou beeped the third watch from a distance, and every sound of gold and iron was like a heavy hit on the apex of the heart.

Seeing that the child in his arms was already soundly asleep, he simply got off the bed lightly, put on his clothes and left the tent.In a low voice, he ordered Congren to take good care of Little Eleven and not let the child wake up and run around. Yuan Shao led a team of guards on duty and headed straight for the gate of the camp where the fighting was fiercest during the day.

Along the way, I could only hear the soft rustling of snowflakes falling on the tent.After fighting all day, except for the soldiers who were on guard as usual, everyone was sleeping soundly with horn bows and scimitars on their pillows, and snoring came and went in the tent.Yuan Shao waved his hands lightly, not to make the soldiers on duty shout loudly, he took up his clothes and went up to the watchtower, looking up into the distance.

It was dark in the direction of the Northern Man camp.In the sky full of wind and snow, there were only a few dimly lit lights, and even the big golden wolf banner flying in mid-air could not be seen clearly.The Beiman were much poorer than the Xi people, not to mention traveling thousands of miles, they naturally packed as lightly as possible.The only fuel I had was also exhausted in the night battles of the previous few days. These two nights, I couldn't even bear to turn on the lights...

Wait, lights?

lights? !

fire!

"Your Majesty," there was a sound from the wooden ladder behind him, Lei Yong had already been reported and hurried over.Seeing the flames rising in the distance, his voice trembled, "Someone kicked the camp!"

The flames were fierce.A moment ago, it was only three or two points of fire, but it became a piece in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, it was already flying straight up with the help of the wind.The wind and snow were howling in the cold night, but even palm-sized snowflakes were flying in front of the eyes, but they couldn't cover the growing fire. After a few breaths, the raging fire reflected the night sky red!

People in the distance neighed, Yuan Shao subconsciously looked up.The wind and snow were still rushing, and there was no light in the dark sky, but Yuan Shao clearly knew that there must be a mirror-like full moon hanging high above the dense dark clouds where he couldn't see it!

After ten days of fierce fighting, the enemy is exhausted.In the middle of the night when the wind and snow were blowing and everyone was sleeping soundly, the person he had been waiting for led the army into the enemy camp!

"Pass down the order." The flames rose in the distance, and it seemed that there was a fire in his chest. He breathed out several times before he stabilized his breath and sent out his voice steadily:

"The whole army is in a team, put on armor. Let's fight out and cooperate with the outside team!"

Yuan Shao's decree was of course swift and resolute.Resolute Fengxing also tossed for more than an hour-what, you said you shouted at people, jumped on the horse and left?Are you awake?

Experienced officers know that the possibility of your subordinates jumping up and rushing out with you when you stand among the sleeping soldiers and shout recklessly... is infinitely close to zero.Rubbing your eyes and complaining about "so sleepy" and "exhausted" while groping to get dressed, you are lucky. The worst end is that the soldiers who were woken up screamed, grabbed their knives and guns and began to chop indiscriminately. people!

In the army, there is a professional term for this kind of thing, which is called "Ying Xiao".Don't talk about shouting properly, even if no one shouted, the soldiers who were tense after a battle, and some people had a nightmare howl, which caused the whole army to howl!

People have to take it easy and shout one by one, the whole team, put on armor, and have some food in their stomachs.The horse also needs to be fed, watered, and saddled and bridle, and it cannot be ridden to charge immediately after feeding, it has to slip away first...

Listening to the shouts of killing in the enemy camp in the distance, watching the fire dragon rushing left and right in the camp, causing countless bloody storms wherever it went, Yuan Shao stood on the top of the watchtower, crushing the railing at the handrail There are several.It's not rushing down yet, it's all due to Lei Yong's stubborn stop...

"Your Majesty, wait for the army to dispatch!" Lei Yong was sweating profusely. He had to issue orders and dispatch the army non-stop, but also pay attention to the battle situation below and choose the most suitable time for the army to enter.At this time, Yuan Shao will add chaos!

The safety of His Majesty cannot stop him - even if he does not take the head of a general in the ten thousand horse army, Yuan Shao's martial arts are enough to protect himself.At this moment, if you want to keep him in the camp, you can only talk about the people he cares about and cares about:

"With you in charge, this large army can fight wherever! 8000 horsemen can't hold back [-] enemy troops. If the success falls short because of us, how can it be worthy of so many days of hard work!"

"..."

Speaking of this, even though Yuan Shao had all kinds of anxiety and concern, he could only stick to the watchtower and refused to leave a step.It was so easy to wait until the sky was getting brighter, and the cavalry lined up neatly below. Yuan Shao ate his stomach hungrily, jumped on his mount, and rushed to the battlefield impatiently!

The author has something to say: Your Majesty, have you and Xiao Ling's tacit understanding skills (in terms of combat) already reached full capacity...

Your Majesty: Queen, wait for me!I am coming!
