Three days later, Youzhou, Fanyang City, in the main tent of the central army.
A few high-ranking military officers were discussing military matters. Among them, the one sitting in the main commander's seat was Lu Bei's old acquaintance, Yang Wei, the Fanyang City Guard.
"General, the scouts have discovered something. More and more Turkic soldiers have appeared at the foot of Swallow Mountain. The scout lieutenants have calculated that the enemy has three hundred thousand men!”
A deputy general cupped his hands.
"Hiss…"
Gasps sounded in the tent.
All the officers present, including Yang Wei, had faced the Turks 'attack before.
However, at most, there were only 100,000 people. Just like that, it was all thanks to Lu Bei's bravery and Cheng Yaojin's timely assistance that Fan Yang was saved.
Half of Yang Wei's arm was also thrown onto the city wall.
Now, 300,000 people had come…
Despair appeared on everyone's faces.
"Has the Youzhou Provincial Governor Wang Wei replied?”
Yang Wei asked in a hoarse voice.
"Lord Wang Wei said that we have to think of a way ourselves. The reinforcements from the mainland will not arrive so soon. Moreover, Longyou is short of rations. They might not be able to fully support us!”
A commander replied dejectedly.
"Everyone, cheer up. As a soldier, you have to have the awareness of dying in battle. Why do you have to act like a daughter?”
Yang Wei scolded.
"Milord, I'm not afraid of death. It's just that we only have 2,000 people. How can we resist an army of 300,000?”
Another deputy general asked.
" Gather the citizens in the city to seek refuge in Jingyang…"
Yang Wei seemed to have made up his mind and gave the order to retreat.
"Milord, we can't do that. This time, the enemy has yet to attack, and we've already organized the people to retreat. If the court blames us, what should we do? Why don't we wait and see?"
The commander said anxiously.
"Wait? If the enemy really came, how could the people of the city support the old and the young in time? I, Yang Wei, will bear all the consequences!”
Yang Wei gritted his teeth, slammed the table, and shouted,"Quickly execute the military order!"
"But…sigh!"
"We will obey!"
Seeing that Yang Wei did not hesitate to abandon his black gauze hat and choose to protect the people.
Commander Yi Tian let out a long sigh, and all the generals in the tent bowed to Yang Wei with admiration. Just as they were about to turn around and carry out the order, another messenger cavalry came forward.
"General, there's news from the south of the city. Chang 'an Marquis Lu Bei has led 6,000 elite cavalry to call on the door!”
The cavalryman cupped his hands and reported.
"Hahaha, it's actually the Everpeace Marquis! The reinforcements are actually him! That's great. Everyone, quickly follow me to the south gate to welcome them!”
Yang Wei's expression suddenly relaxed, and with a look of parting the dark clouds to see the blue sky, he laughed and led all the generals to the south gate.
Not long after, the south gate was opened.
Yang Wei, who had a pleasantly surprised expression on his face, rode out of the city. What greeted his eyes was Lu Bei's golden armor and red robe, which looked like a warhorse.
The three thousand powerful Imperial Guards and the three thousand armored soldiers of the Wei Army who looked like iron cans gasped.
"Marquis Chang An, did you bring such a strong army to support us? I was just about to order the citizens to evacuate, and you came at the right time!”
Yang Wei waved his right arm and shouted at Lu Bei.
"Haha, there's no need to retreat. I'm not here to help Fan Yang, but to kill those three hundred thousand Turkic dogs!”
Lu Bei chuckled. A warm smile appeared on his cold face when he saw his comrade.
"This…you want to bring a few thousand people to charge at an army of three hundred thousand?”
Yang Wei was shocked. He looked at the soldiers who were armed to the teeth and was somewhat surprised.
"Don't worry, Jie Li Khan has already died in my hands. Their army isn't as united as one. As long as the main characters are killed, their army will scatter like birds and beasts. At that time, I'll see if I can charge into the Turkic Kingdom!”
Lu Bei chuckled, his handsome face full of disapproval.
Judging from his tone, it was as if he was not going to kill the leader of the 300,000-strong army, but as simple as helping his neighbor kill a chicken!
The generals behind Yang Wei all widened their eyes.
Of course, they had also heard of Lu Bei's reputation. Of course, they would not think that Lu Bei was talking nonsense.
"We've investigated them in the past few days. According to the captives, their commander is called Ashbi, the Turkic Khaganate's Grand Marshal. His main camp should be ten li to the north.”
Yang Wei was holding a short knife, writing and drawing on the ground while introducing the movements of the Turkic army.
Lu Bei jumped off his horse and looked at the map drawn by Yang Wei.
The Turkic army of three hundred thousand soldiers was clearly divided into different tribal leaders.
They were divided into eight camps, with Ashbi's main force consisting of one hundred thousand soldiers. Sixty thousand of them were the regular soldiers of the Turkic court, while forty thousand were the private soldiers of his fief.
The strange thing was that in the Turks, the private armies formed by the nobles were very powerful. Although the regular armies were better equipped, their members were mostly unemployed vagrants. There were even thieves and bandits who had escaped from prison, so their fighting strength was average.
"What can I do for you?”
Yang Wei asked after introducing the situation.
"Put the scouts further away and don't let the Turks know that we're here. Then, find a place for us to sleep. We'll send out our troops tonight.”
Lu Bei said in a deep voice.
