Chapter 390 The Cautious Tian Hongyan
In the past two days, there happened to be an eagle and a bird sending a letter back.

After the elders of Xueyue discussed it, they immediately asked Yinghu to send the news of the burning of several pastures near Qian'an and the destruction of the Changyang tribe to the Benlu tribe in the east.

The bloodyue patriarch has been away from the tribe for more than two years, and he was worried about it. It's just that the war has not gone smoothly and the pressure from the royal court has kept him from getting out.

When he saw the letter, his expression changed.

It was decided on the spot to return to the tribe.

"Patriarch," the drum-bearing elder next to him hesitated, "If you go back like this, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of soldiers here?"

"Yes." The others nodded in agreement.

Xueyue Zhiyong didn't raise his head, "Ying Xiang is in charge of everything here. Everyone must obey the command of the young patriarch."

The drum-holding elder had a sad face, "Patriarch, of course we have no problem following the command of the young patriarch. But other tribes may have other ideas."

After all, Xueyue Yingxiang was too young, and he had a mediocre record before, but he boasted that he was a prairie eagle. The generals of other tribes were not very optimistic.

Even now there is a joke about him circulating among the soldiers in Xiliang: Xueyue Yingxiang is a prairie eagle, yes, but he hasn't grown hair yet.

"Other tribes?" Xueyue Zhiyong sneered, "It's just a bunch of idiots who are holding us back, let them go."

Three days passed, and after arranging some important affairs, he ignored the opposition of other tribes and left the Benlu tribe directly to embark on the return journey.

With Xueyue Zhiyong's departure, Yanfeng Fortress and Dianshi City were kept in the dark, but other Xiliang generals including Angel knew it clearly.

Many people were suddenly in an uproar.

Is this battle still to be fought?
If you don't plan to continue, don't just Xueyue Zhiyong go back alone, everyone can go back to their hometown directly.

Save your food and your life here.

The chaos in Xiliang and the lack of morale in the army quickly attracted the attention of the Yunchui scouts, and the news quickly spread to the ears of the Yanzhen Fortress and the Yingling Army.

Huo Ling, the general guarding the fortress, and Kong Chunhui, the Yingling army, were puzzled.

"What's going on? Did the other party use some kind of an eyesore? Find out quickly."

The news that Xueyue Zhiyong left the border and returned to the tribe was not made public. It took a while for Yunchui's scouts to find out.

Huo Ling and Kong Chunhui were overjoyed immediately, and they immediately gave the same order without hesitation: attack.

The fortress faces to the east, and the Yingling Legion faces to the west, and the two sides attack the enemies outside the city of Whetstone.

----

Luoxia Mountains, Yangguan Ancient Road.

Goose back to the legion.

Kong Chunhui of the Yingling Legion sent a military division over, and Xu Xu talked about the situation of collaborating with the enemy and us.

"General Tian, ​​it has been more than three years since Xiliang invaded our land. Our soldiers have the duty to defend the land and not give up an inch. The people in Dingxi have long hated the people of Xiliang to the bone, wishing to eat their flesh and suck their marrow."

"Since the invasion of Xiliang, there have been repeated battles and defeats, and there have been heavy casualties. In addition, the supply of food, grass and medicine has not been available due to the long distance. The various tribes have endless disputes over whether to fight or retreat, and there are already many conflicts."

"The two leading tribes, Blood Moon and Angel, even blamed each other, causing other tribes to fluctuate and lose morale. In particular, Xue Yue Zhiyong left without saying goodbye a few days ago, which dealt a fatal blow to the generals."

"At this time, their morale is completely at a low ebb. Many of the soldiers below have even packed their bags and have been waiting for news of their return."

"The sages have said that the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people are the key to war. Both are indispensable. Yunchui has all of them at this time. If we all unite and attack collectively, we can completely injure the enemy, and even drive them out of my Dingxi County in one go. "

"General, look..."

Tian Hongyan stroked his beard and stared at the map on the wall.

"Mr. Feng is right."

"It's just that His Majesty ordered my Yanhui Legion to stick to the ancient Yangguan Road to ensure that the counties east of Luoxia will not be invaded by Xiliang people. If you send troops rashly, you may be caught by the enemy's spies. If the ancient Yangguan Road is lost, then you and I will be guilty of great crimes."

"Therefore, Ben will have to think carefully before making a decision."

"General Tian," Feng Junshi was anxious, analyzing the situation with a forced smile on his face.

"The Yangguan Ancient Road is indeed very important, but the Luoxia Mountains are high into the clouds, and the Yangguan Ancient Road is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, Xia Bang, the captain of Dingxi County, would not have been able to defend firmly with just over [-] people. More than a year."

After speaking, he walked to the map and pointed to the troop layout drawn above.

"General Tian, ​​please take a look. The map of your army also shows the layout of the troops of the enemy and us."

"At this time, there are only Xiliang people in their early [-]s near the ancient Yangguan road. They put such a small amount of weeds here, not intending to capture the ancient Yangguan road, but more to keep an eye on your army. To prevent General Tian's geese from returning to the army Attack the Xiliang people outside Dianshi City."

"The complete Yanhui Legion has a total of [-] people, and there are at least [-] people guarding the Yangguan Ancient Road at this time. If the general wants to kill the [-] weeds in Xiliang, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"It's hard to say." Tian Hongyan shook his head, "Mr. Feng is also the general who leads the army in battle, so he should know that fighting is not just about the comparison of the opponent's strength."

"Just now the military adviser also said that the ancient Yangguan road is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the same for the people of Xiliang, and it is also the same for my Yanhui army."

"Although our side has a large number of people, but the ancient road is narrow, only a small number of soldiers in the front can be used. If the people of Xiliang set up many traps at the pass, we may not be able to get out no matter how many people there are."

Junshi Feng was speechless for a while, and quickly analyzed it carefully again.

However, no matter what he said, Tian Hongyan always said: think carefully first.

After most of the day, Feng Junshi's persuasion was useless, and his tone became cold.

"General Tian, ​​the war is about the lives of countless soldiers, and it is good for the generals to be cautious."

"But the war opportunity is fleeting, and once it is missed, it will be irreversible."

"Right now is a golden opportunity. General Huo of the fortress, I, General Yingling Kong, and Lord Ding Xixia all believe that this battle must be won. As long as your army sends troops, it will expand the results of victory."

"I hope the general will think it over as soon as possible, and give me an answer as soon as possible whether to send troops or not."

"Definitely." Tian Hongyan was still noncommittal.

Ugh.

Junshi Feng sighed secretly.

"General Tian, ​​since this is the case, I will take my leave first. I hope you will think about it for the sake of the responsibility of defending the territory as the Yunchui army."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but he couldn't help but say another sentence just as he took a step forward.

"The last thing to say is that this battle is decided for our Yingling Legion, Yanfeng Fortress, and Dingxibei garrison. The time to launch an attack is set in three days."

"If your legion still chooses to stick to the ancient Yangguan Road, then the victory or defeat will be the responsibility of our three parties, and everything in the battle report will have nothing to do with your legion."

"In addition, Xia Bangwei will lead the Dingxi garrison to pass through your army's defense zone in the near future. I hope the general will not stop you."

After speaking, he strode away.

Junshi Feng yelled loudly while walking, "Lord Xia only has more than [-] troops in his hands, I want to see if they can break through from the Xiliang people at the pass."

Tian Hongyan could hear clearly, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"General," the generals, aides, and military advisors of the Yanhui Legion surrounded him one after another, "What should we do?"

If Xia Bangwei, who was the guard, all broke out, then their reasons would be completely untenable.

Once the news reaches Xingji City, where should Yanhui put his face as a frontier guard?
