Lin Yi was a little flustered. He went to the central tent and saw that Wang Youdao, Zhao Fei, and Su De 'an were handing over military affairs.
"Greetings, former general."
"Get up."
Lin Yi jumped from being one grade lower than Dean and the others to becoming their immediate superior. This speed could not be said to be slow.
"Marshal, we have to send two winged cavalry warriors over.”
When Wang Youdao heard that something was up, he immediately gave Lin Yi face.
One had to know that not everyone could use this winged cavalry warrior.
It could only be used when the border battle report was sent to the Imperial Court. Otherwise, it would require the approval of the Commander-in-Chief of the three armies before it could be used for other purposes.
Lin Yi was short of two winged cavalry warriors, so he hurriedly asked about the situation at home.
The winged cavalry warriors were much faster than messengers.
In just two days, the letter had already been delivered to the Lin Manor.
Ning Jin 'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw the letter. Bai Jueying secretly hid in the corner after reading the letter, pretending that she didn't do it…
……
A few days later, a large amount of rations arrived from the rear of the Yan Han Army.
It was because the 100,000 soldiers had tested the garrison system, and the effect was not bad. This year, Yan Han's grain reserves had a small increase.
This time, on top of the 200,000 dans of rations, they had sent another 50,000 dans.
At this moment, Lin Yi and Guan Zhenshan had been fighting for more than four months. Neither side could do anything to the other.
Guan Zhenshan sighed when he heard that Yan Han had sent more rations."
"The Yan Han army has sufficient rations and Lin Yi is the general in front of the formation. He is as steady as a mountain and will definitely be difficult to break through!”
"You are the descendant of the War Saint. Marshal, is there no way?”
Guan Zhenshan waved his hand.
"So what if he is the descendant of the War Saint? Currently, the Yan Han Army is so stable that we can only attack from their rations. If the rations are broken, the Yan Han Army will be in a period of lack of rations, and that will be our chance.”
However, Zhou Lianggong pointed at the map and sighed."
"Lin Yi's protection of the military rations is simply impossible to deal with. To be honest, I've been thinking about this matter for several days, but I found that Lin Yi and Wang Youdao's defenses were almost flawless!”
Guan Zhenshan nodded and said with a smile,"
"Liang Gong, you still have a long way to go in the art of war. If I die, I won't be at ease with you taking on the military affairs of the Wu Dynasty.”
Guan Zhenshan said,"
"A true strategist can create opportunities from the lack of opportunities. This is what you need to learn now.”
Guan Zhenshan thought for a long time and pointed at the sand table map."
"Look, Nanye is the territory of the Yan State. There are more than 80,000 people in the Yan State. The land within 100 miles of Nanye has already been planted with wheat.”
How smart was Zhou Lianggong?
His subordinates were still very puzzled, thinking that Guan Zhenshan wanted to bring people to destroy the Southern Wilderness wheat field in advance so that Yan Han would have no food to use.
However, Zhou Lianggong clapped his hands and laughed.
"Wonderful!"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. This was indeed a good strategy.
The wheat in the southern wilderness was the lifeline of the Yan State.
Yan State had just been recovered and 80,000 people had just gathered. It was also the first year of planting crops. If the wheat was destroyed, what would these 80,000 people eat in autumn?
If Yan State was so unsafe, where would they attract more people to live here?
If no one dared to live in the newly recovered Nine Regions, the land that Yan Han had reclaimed would be useless. It would not produce any benefits and would instead lose the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. Moreover, no one would live in the next few years.
Wang Youdao was a smart man. Guan Zhenshan waited until April when the wheat grew two inches deep, waiting for this opportunity.
Once his army headed straight for Nanye, Wang Youdao would definitely send troops to protect the wheat.
The southern wilderness was wide, if they wanted to protect the wheat, they would need to deploy many soldiers.
Guan Zhen Mountain only needed a 10,000 men force to hold back 20,000 Yan Han.
This terrain determined that if Guan Zhen Mountain sent twice the number of people, Yan Han would need twice the number of troops to defend.
Guan Zhenshan wanted to send 35,000 troops to destroy the wheat in the southern wilderness, then split them up to provoke the Yan Han Army and stall their troops.
On this basis, Nanye and Yan Han's main camps were surrounded. He could still use his troops to defend the mountain, but Yan Han had no more soldiers.
Taking this opportunity, Guan Zhenshan brought people to burn the rations of the Yan Han Army, the newly transported 250,000 dans, plus the 100,000 dans of rations.
Once these 350,000 dan of rations were burned, Guan Zhen Mountain would speed up their attacks and the Yan Han Army would be exhausted.
In less than seven days, the Yan Han Army would be in a dire situation, Guan Zhen Mountain would be able to gather their forces and break them apart!
Then, the big thing would be accomplished!
It was a good plan.
However, Guan Zhenshan was afraid that Lin Yi would see through his aim!
In fact, Lin Yi had already made a suggestion. Wang Youdao had accepted Lin Yi's suggestion a few days ago and arranged for an army to protect the wheat.
However, there were only two thousand people in this troop. Two lieutenants stood on the east and west mountains of Nanye.
If they discovered the enemy, they could immediately report back, and Wang Youdao could immediately provide reinforcements.
However, no one expected that Guanzhen Mountain would send out more than 30,000 people at once just for a small Nanye.
When he received this military report, Wang Youdao couldn't make up his mind.
If the other party sent 35,000 people, how many would they send?
The southern wilderness is an open area. If you want to defend this place, you will have to invest a large number of troops.
Yan Han's army was smaller than Guan Zhenshan's to begin with. Now that Guan Zhenshan had sent 35,000 men to the south, if you didn't send double the number, how could you defend?
With fewer troops, if they were besieged by the other party, there would definitely be many deaths!
The soldiers were just right. If your soldiers went to Nanye, where would there be soldiers to guard the camp?
Guan Zhenshan would definitely bring people over. They couldn't defend it at all!
At this moment, Dean suggested,
"Commander, why don't we break camp and go straight to the southern wilderness? We'll send over a hundred thousand soldiers. Let's see if Guan Zhenshan still wants his thirty-five thousand soldiers. If he doesn't want to lose his troops, he will have to retreat quietly.”
It was a good idea to gather superior forces and exchange casualties with the other party, but it was a bad idea.
Seeing that no one spoke in the tent, everyone looked at Lin Yi.
Everyone was waiting for him to make a decision. After all, only when Lin Yi spoke would they feel a sense of security.
After a while, Lin Yi predicted,
"My suggestion is not to lead troops to save Nanye, nor is it to break camp and exchange casualties with the other party. Our Yan Han army is gradually decreasing, and we can no longer tolerate large-scale casualties.”
"Then…Deputy Handsome, what do you think we should do?"
"Let's quietly move the rations first.”
"This…the military rations are so stable. Why are we transferring the military rations?”
Lin Yi said,
"Just in case, do it tonight. When the night is dark and the wind is high, secretly transfer the army rations. Move all 350,000 dan of rations to the reserve area and only send 2,000 men to guard it.”
Lin Yi added,
"It's still the straw man. Prepare sulfur and nitre for fire in the straw man. Change into your military uniform and fill up the tent for me.”
Although Lin Yi didn't know Guan Zhenshan's specific intentions, he thought about it from the other party's perspective. Now that the Yan Han Army was so stable, he would definitely have to start from the rations if he wanted to defeat the Yan Han Army.
Secretly transferring the military rations, just in case.
After giving this order, Lin Yi did not care about Nan Ye at all.
Similarly, he would only send 35,000 people to the southern wilderness to confront the other party. At most, they would destroy a portion of the wheat fields and everyone would fight to the death.
Lin Yi sent Zhao Fei's troops and a portion of the elite troops to attack Yuzhou.
It was the place where Wang Youdao was defeated and almost killed.
Zhao Fei went to Yuzhou to feign an attack. If Guan Zhenshan didn't protect him, he would directly attack the city and try to take down Yuzhou.
If Guan Zhenshan sent troops to rescue them, they would naturally have to split up. Su De 'an would be stationed at the main camp, and Lin Yi would bring an army to raid Guan Zhenshan's base.
After being resolved by Lin Yi's arrangements, Guan Zhen Mountain's advantage was not obvious.
As for Nanye, Lin Yi would not fall for it. At most, both sides would exchange casualties and ask you to destroy a portion of the wheat fields. Then, the logistics emperor would issue an edict and scold you.
Send troops to Yuzhou, are you going to save them?
If you save them and send reinforcements, our forces will be equal and we will return to a balanced situation.
If you really dare to come, Lin Yi will dare to set fire to Guanzhen Mountain and send you to a crushing defeat!
Lin Yi would then lead the army alone and take advantage of the time when Guan Zhen Mountain moved out to rob Guan Zhen Mountain Camp and catch him off guard.
Both sides had already set up a backup plan.
Guan Zhenshan frowned when he heard the news from the Southern Wilderness Army.
Things did not develop in the direction he had expected.
"Yan Han only sent 35,000 soldiers. They are not prepared to defend the wheat fields and are going to fight us to the death!”
"Marshal, should we take advantage of the chaos to attack and destroy the wheat?”
Guan Zhenshan sighed,"
"The Wu Dynasty doesn't have many soldiers left, so leave some elite soldiers to protect the country. The other side won't fall for it, so there's no need to cause unnecessary casualties.”
Just as he was thinking, a scout reported,"
"Marshal, the Yan Han Army has led nearly 30,000 troops to attack the Jade Province!”
Guan Zhenshan smiled and stared in the direction of the Yan Han camp. He shook his head and then nodded.
The others couldn't understand, but Guan Zhenshan understood.
Was Lin Yi trying to divide his troops?
Once he sent troops to save Yuzhou, he would not have the advantage in numbers to rob the rations.
However, this grain was the most important thing in the confrontation between the two armies!
"Send 8,000 heavily armored soldiers and 4,000 cavalry to save Yuzhou.”
Guan Zhenshan sent troops to save Yuzhou, but only a portion of his elites.
This old fellow wanted to use the stalling tactic. He didn't want to defeat Zhao Fei's army that was attacking Yuzhou City. He just wanted to stall Zhao Fei and delay the time for Yuzhou City to fall.
He would then gather his superior forces to destroy the Yan Han Army's rations!
Guan Zhenshan had already made up his mind. At the same time he sent troops to Yuzhou, he also sent 30,000 men to attack Yan Han's camp.
At the same time, he personally led an army of 50 thousand people and charged towards the place where Yan Han stored his rations.
He was confident that if he personally led this 50,000 strong army, no one would be able to stop him!
Indeed, how could Lin Yi stop an army of 50,000?
Moreover, the old general was personally commanding the battle. This battle would not be easy to fight.
Therefore, Lin Yi did not fight this battle at all. Instead, he secretly moved the rations and left behind some kindling to burn down the 50,000 soldiers.
At the same time, he personally led the army to take a detour and rob the Mountain Suppressing Camp.
Both sides had their own plans and predictions.
Guan Zhenshan did not know that Lin Yi had prepared many kindling materials in the valley, waiting for the old general to take the bait.
Lin Yi did not know that Guan Zhenshan was secretly mobilizing his troops.
Without anyone noticing, they had already set up an ambush in the camp.
The two of them dug another big pit for each other…
