All the generals in the army rushed to Mount Targa overnight.

In Fang Yuwu's camp, the generals of each battalion stood around the sand table, their faces seemed to be submerged in water, and they remained silent for a long time.

Judging from the current deployment positions of the Southern Guangdong Army, it is almost possible to infer which areas Hodar's soldiers and horses will be stationed in.

A sigh broke the silence, and one person said: "The most favorable breakthrough now is the Yellow Sand Valley. A canyon can lead directly to Hodar's camp. We lost the Yellow Sand Valley, so we can only attack from the south."

One person said: "If King Xin's soldiers and horses guard the middle of Huangsha Valley to death, Hodar's [-] garrison at the mouth of the valley will rush to help the nearest Zhuochang and Duanzhai, and the enemy's soldiers and horses here will be more than [-] , our army has only [-] cavalry stationed here at Shaohe, such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain, coupled with the disparity in the number of the two armies, this is undoubtedly..."

His final words melted into a sigh, General Hussars Chang Ling stared at the sand table for a while, his face lost a bit of bewilderment, and he punched the edge of the sand table: "I can only lead the troops to kill Hodar!" His granary has retreated ten miles to the northwest, so I led the troops to destroy his granary first."

Fang Yuwu supported the sand table, shook his head in the eyes of everyone, and said: "The current location of the granary is only more than ten miles away from the Duanzhai. I am afraid that our army has not arrived at the granary, and the reinforcements from the Duanzhai are already waiting in the granary."

At present, King Xin's army blocked Huangsha Valley, making Zhuochang and Duanzhai, which had to be breached first, almost become impregnable walls. If Fang Yuwu forced to disperse his troops and attack all at once, there might be a little room for change, but...

However, that would be pure crowd tactics, and the 30 troops from Nanyue might have a slight chance of winning, but even if they win, they will inevitably suffer almost all casualties.

Although this method is stupid, it is the only feasible method at present, but the success rate of this method is very small, and it may not be able to achieve what one wishes.

At this moment, someone lifted the curtain of the tent.

Chang Ling recognized the face of the visitor at a glance, and his eyes froze.

Xiao Han Yun!

He couldn't forget this face. In the battle of Yuegou City, it was this Xiao Hanyun who captured him alive and let him go again.It's just that now this face is stained with a cloudy color, and the spine is no longer upright.

Chu Yu helped Xiao Han Yun into the camp, Fang Yuwu's pupils flashed a flash of astonishment, and then won over: "What are you here for?"

Fang Yuwu saw that he was struggling to even open his eyes, his pale face was lifeless, and the wrinkles between his brows became deeper and deeper.

Xiao Hanyun swayed slightly, he opened his mouth, and his voice sounded slowly: "...to help you break the red roll."

His voice floated in the heavy air, and there was a commotion in the tent.

Except for Chang Ling, although everyone has never fought against Xiao Hanyun, they all know that Xiao Hanyun is the commander-in-chief of General Gaoxuxiao. However, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also knew this matter tacitly, and everyone in the court rumored that he had formed a party with King Xin.

But now, in the army of Fang Yuwu, who is waiting for the supernatural power, he still wants to help Fang Houye fight against King Xin, which is really unimaginable.

The generals looked at each other, all of them were full of doubts, but Fang Yuwu knew that Xiao Hanyun was probably the only one who could turn the tide of the battle. Seeing him wake up, Fang Yuwu was half astonished and half pleasantly surprised.

But Xiao Hanyun's physical condition also made him a little worried, he said: "Can you hold it?"

Xiao Hanyun's tired eyes wandered past the faces of the generals, and he walked slowly to the sand table without answering Fang Yuwu's question.

The layout of the sand table is not significantly different from the previous one, only some minor adjustments have been made in the details, but no matter how it changes, it can be seen that the two armies in this battle are roughly victorious.

Xiao Hanyun calculated that the problem would be inside Nanyue, but it exceeded his estimation. He thought that Qi Chen wanted to use the water and food of the Nanyue Army, but he did not expect that he would choose such a roundabout method.

Although it is roundabout, it is also vicious.

If he attacked the Nanyue army directly, and if the matter was exposed, he would have no room for change in the court, and killing Huo Daer would be an act of meritorious deeds, and no one could erase him if he broke his mouth in the Tai Chi Hall. exploits.

Xiao Hanyun supported the edge of the sand table with pale and feeble fingers, staring at the mountains and plains in front of him in silence for a long time.

The generals couldn't hide their doubts about this "helper" from Prince Xin's mansion. They all knew that this person had a relationship with King Xin Qichen who was ashamed to be an outsider, not to mention that the princess of Gaoxu was about to marry King Xin. , he should help Wang Xin.

But Fang Yuwu seemed to trust this Xiao Hanyun very much, even though everyone was full of doubts, they did not dare to question him openly.

Xiao Hanyun pointed to the gorge between Zhuochang and Duanzhai: "This place..."

Fang Yuwu said: "This is the most difficult route right now. We plan to go around twenty miles to the left, disperse part of the troops in Duanzhai, and then move forward to break through this line."

Xiao Hanyun shook his head: "I can't go around..." His voice was too weak, and everyone had to hold their breath to listen, "I mean...direct attack."

Chu Yu skillfully inserted the yellow flag indicating the first attack in Zhuo Chang's position.

The generals heard the rumors and discussed again——

"That's where Hodar's army is most powerful, and the [-] elephant army in Huangsha Valley can rush to help the Duanzhai in the rear in less than an hour!"

"That's right, even if our army wins Zhuochang, there will be a lot of casualties, and it is impossible to reach Duanzhai before the Xiang army. By then, the enemy army in Duanzhai will be twice as large as our army..."

"This is a dead end!"

……

Fang Yuwu slightly raised his hand, suppressed everyone's chatter, and stood beside Xiao Hanyun: "Go on."

Xiao Hanyun said: "The defense recorded in the red scroll has form but no soul, but the form is there... the soul is there."

One person said in astonishment: "Can you still work in this dead situation??"

"Yeah, so many of us can't find a breakthrough point, can you?"

"General Xiao is so young, so don't talk too much."

……

The generals were already suspicious of Xiao Hanyun, but Xiao Hanyun's words embarrassed everyone, and the veterans suddenly felt dissatisfied. Someone started to make a start, and they all started to mark the same and cut the difference.

Chu Yu couldn't hear such yin and yang weirdness, and said: "You can't do it because you are incompetent, so you think so highly of yourself, why don't you become my generals in Gaoxu?"

Everyone was dumb all of a sudden, and Chu Yu made a gesture to confront each other.

"...Chu Yu." Xiao Hanyun spat, "There are no rules."

Chu Yu gave up, straightened his back and stood obediently.

Fang Yuwu also stared sullenly, warning them to shut up and listen.

Xiao Han Yun ignored it and continued: "The art of controlling soldiers is the ancestor of my Xiao family... It was written after countless conquests by the founding emperor, and it took a hundred years to write... The essence of it is its repeated variability. This loophole can be broken."

Hearing that Xiao Hanyun was going to use the real art of controlling troops to win the battle, all the generals immediately changed countenance, and Chu Yu felt a little nauseous when he saw this.

Xiao Hanyun supported the sand table and walked a small half circle. Seeing that his footsteps were weak and precarious, everyone gave way.

He pointed to the location of Huangsha Valley: "King Xin occupies the most favorable position, and our army's cavalry can no longer rush over...but we can make good use of King Xin's [-] reinforcements."

Fang Yuwu understood what he meant: "Do you want King Xin's soldiers and horses to be used by us?"

Chang Ling immediately said: "The [-] soldiers and horses are pure display, King Xin will never send troops to help."

Xiao Hanyun pointed to Zhuochang's yellow flag: "... Zhuochang... the right side, cough cough."

Chu Yu hurried to help, Xiao Hanyun pushed him away, and continued: "...the mountain road on the right side of Zhuochang leads directly to Huangsha Valley. As you can say, after our army took Zhuochang, Huo Daer was in Huangsha Valley. The [-] Phantasm Army...half will be dispatched to the Duanzhai in the rear...to block our army, and at this time, the entrance of Huangsha Valley into King Khodar's Tent, ahem...the defense is the weakest..."

Fang Yuwu said: "That's right, but Qi Chen won't attack the Wang Tent. He will wait for Huo Daer to kill this Marquis before he outwits the Wang Tent."

"So..." Xiao Hanyun calmed down a little, "So we can't go to Duanzhai, how many troops are our troops stationed outside Zhuochang?"

"Sixty thousand." One said.

Xiao Hanyun: "Tomorrow you will lead [-] troops...to attack Zhuochang."

"Twenty thousand?" the man shouted, "Are you asking Ben to die?"

Fang Yuwu looked at him: "General Xiao, there are 2 elephant troops in Zhuochang, and [-] people are hitting stones with eggs."

"I know." Xiao Hanyun said, "...so don't take down Zhuochang. After entering Zhuochang...try to retreat into Huangsha Valley from the mountain road on the right. "

Chang Ling: "What if he doesn't chase after him?"

"He must chase." Xiao Hanyun's eyes were weak but firm, "Sang Tongji has always loved Bashuhe, and wished to make meritorious deeds to snatch Bashuhe back from Sun Ji. We... give him a big fish."

"What big fish?"

"Where did the big fish come from?"

"Supervisor Sima Zuo." Xiao Han Yun said.

Fang Yuwu realized: "You want the Sima Supervisor to attack Zhuochang together, and Sang Tongji must chase into the mountain road in order to capture the Nanyue Supervisor alive?"

Xiao Hanyun: "...That's right, but Sang Tongji may enter the mountain road, but he won't break into King Xin's camp, so..." He paused for a while, his chest hurt unbearably, he supported the sand table and bowed slightly, "So The lieutenant general...lead the remaining [-] troops to attack Zhuochang again, and force Sang Tongji's elephant army...all into Huangsha Valley."

Xiao Hanyun's neck was wet with cold sweat. Under the faint yellow candlelight, like washed white porcelain, his voice began to tremble and interrupt unconsciously, but he tried his best to maintain his state and hit: "Wait for Sang Tongji When the army of the army enters Huang... Huangsha Valley, the Sima Supervisor will recruit the soldiers and horses of King Xin..."

"Wonderful!" The bearded man who was still making a face just now said impressively, "The Sima Supervisor Army represents the Holy Master. The enemy is approaching, and there is no chance to delay the military situation. Unless he really wants to treason, he will definitely join forces with our army to encircle and suppress Sang Tongji!"

Fang Yuwu drew a line along the road between Huangsha Valley and Duanzhai: "In this way, Huo Daer will think that Qi Chen broke the contract in advance, lest Qi Chen's army will directly kill Wang Zhang from Huangsha Valley, and he must be recalled." If all the armies stick to the entrance of Huangsha Valley, then the 15 troops of Lord Hou and General Chang will be able to break through the middle road and face the [-]-element army in Duanzhai, cutting off the reinforcements from the granary in the northwest."

One person interjected: "The [-] cavalry of our army can easily take down the granary, and then quickly rush to help the army in the middle, and directly kill Wang Zhang."

"By that time, even if King Xin has evil intentions, he will be stillborn. The 16 Southern Cantonese troops in Huangsha Valley will surely wipe out Sang Tongji's elephant army. Then King Xin will have to attack the king's account!"

"It's really wonderful! The mandarin alliance reached with Huo Daer by King Xin's deliberate deliberations has become the biggest spy of our Southern Cantonese army, and even Sima Jianjun, the Holy Lord's eyeliner, can be used as a pawn!"

Fang Yuwu was very shocked. Xiao Hanyun seemed to be suffering from tuberculosis, but he paid so much attention to the variables in the army. Even Fang Yuwu never thought of taking advantage of the close relationship between Sang Tongji and Bashuhe. To make adjustments to the overall situation in such a short period of time...

What an amazing person.

Fang Yuwu smiled to himself, thankfully he was on his side, not his enemy.

Xiao Hanyun's fair and long fingers firmly grasped the edge of the sand table, his white knuckles trembled faintly, he couldn't help coughing a few times, his chest was torn by severe pain, and he almost passed out.

"General!" Chu Yu shouted anxiously, barely able to support him.

"General Xiao, are you okay?"

"What's the matter with you?"

"Take a break, General Xiao!"

……

Xiao Hanyun supported the sand table and stood firm, shook his head at the generals, and said in a false voice: "Quickly carve the plate."

The generals moved quickly and re-armed the battlefield area they were in charge of.

The densely packed flags in the sand table were rearranged by cuttings, and a route from Nanyue Camp to Khodar King's Tent was being laid out slowly and orderly.

Xiao Hanyun closed his eyes, briefly chased away the phantom in front of him, looked at the brand new array on the sand table, and said, "...Master Fang."

Everyone looked at the thin sweat on his forehead and neck, as well as his pale lips and eyes, and unconsciously sweated.

Fang Yuwu helped him, and said: "Okay, General Xiao, stop talking, go to rest quickly, don't go back to the barracks, just lie on the bed of the Marquis..."

"Master Hou..." Xiao Hanyun grabbed his wrist instead, "You promise me one thing."

"Okay!" Fang Yuwu said without hesitation, "I promise you whatever you say, Chu Yu, help the general to rest."

Xiao Hanyun pinched his hand persistently: "Xin Wang... If you win this battle, please don't kill him."

Fang Yuwu rolled his eyes.

Xiao Hanyun saw through his thoughts, and Fang Yu was shocked invisibly.

He really planned to kill Qi Chen in Hodar's king's tent.

When he was in Lidu, he could only assassinate Qi Chen, but now in Xizhou, he can kill Qi Chen with a single sword, and he has even thought up the farewell words. He will revise the book and return to the court, tell the emperor that he sacrificed for the country, and beg the emperor to posthumously designate him as the "crown prince", and he, the emperor's uncle, has fulfilled the dream of his good nephew.

But Xiao Hanyun actually has such a request.

Fang Yuwu's eyes gradually cooled, and he said in a low voice: "General Xiao, you should have made this request when you entered this camp."

Yes, this was supposed to be Xiao Hanyun's bargaining chip with him, but Xiao Hanyun said: "I don't want to threaten you..."

Fang Yuwu looked at him all the time, turned his head suddenly, and said sharply, "Go back to the camp and deploy immediately, and implement it according to General Xiao's plan. There must be no mistakes! Chang Ling, wait for me outside the camp."

All the generals quickly left the camp, and the surroundings were all quiet.

Fang Yuwu's eyes fell back to Xiaoyue's face, his eyes were soft but cold. He smiled and said: "If Fang Yuwu is a master who is slaughtered by others, he will definitely not live today. Qi Chen designed it like this." This honor, this honor can't kill him?"

Xiao Hanyun knew the truth, and said, "You can kill him...but not this time, this time...you can't do it."

Fang Yuwu grabbed Xiao Hanyun's arm with one hand, asked him to stand temporarily, and said, "I can allow you to do anything else, but not this one."

Fang Yuwu killed Qi Chen at any time, it was a power grievance between the two, but this time it was different, the person who betrayed Qi Chen this time was Xiao Yue, if he killed Qi Chen, it would be Xiao Yue's victim dead him.

But Fang Yuwu is cruel by nature. He let Qi Chen go for a while because of Xiaoyue's soft heart, but what he got in return was today's predicament.

He said: "General Xiao, I am glad that Xiaoyue found you in Lin'an, otherwise I would not be able to walk out of Xizhou alive. This is God reminding me to cut grass and roots, but you, let me go Isn't it too cruel to forgive a person who repeatedly kills me?"

Xiao Han Yun smiled: "...You are absolutely free from future troubles... What about Xiao Yue?"

"... "

Fang Yuwu looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes flickering slightly.

"...He couldn't bear to hurt you, so he told King Xin all about his plan... But if you kill King Xin, what will he do?"

Fang Yuwu's Adam's apple moved slightly, avoiding Xiao Hanyun's sight: "I will take care of him."

"You have no chance," Xiao Hanyun looked at the flickering fire wick on the candlestick, and smiled palely, "He will die..."

Fang Yuwu clenched his hand hanging by his side.

Xiao Han Yun's breath became shorter and shorter: "...Xiao Yue, he will not forgive you, let alone himself, and even go with King Xin... Do you hope so?"

"..."

Xiao Hanyun closed his eyes and smiled: "You know him, but you still want to do that. What's the difference between you and King Xin?"

"What about you?" Fang Yuwu asked back, "I owed your help to kill Qi Chen. General, are you really ruthless to King Xin?"

ruthless?

What can be sentient, so what is ruthless.

Xiao Hanyun coughed lightly, his eyes were full of self-deprecating: "I tried my best to weigh the pros and cons in my life... I was rational and loyal, but in the end I tried my best... I couldn't change my mind before being abandoned, so I had to persuade myself to love and not be crazy... Listen and not believe In the end, I am ashamed of my ancestors, my family and the country... how can I talk about love again."

Fang Yuwu was silent for a moment, but he did not give Xiao Hanyun a clear answer after all, but said: "General Xie Xiao for your enlightenment."

As soon as Fang Yuwu walked out of the tent, Chu Yu finally begged anxiously: "General, let me help you lie down."

The wind outside the tent blew into the tent, shaking the candle, Xiao Hanyun shook his head and said, "Prepare paper, pen and black ink."

Chu Yu: "What do you want pen and ink for?"

"A silent book," he said.
