Chapter Fourteen: Delivering Charcoal in the Snow

"Second brother, I still didn't understand why Yu Wenyu had such a big advantage and was still scared off by us."

Sun Zhi followed Sun Yun on horseback and asked with some confusion.

Facing Sun Zhi's question, Sun Yun touched his chin and frowned. Sun Yun didn't know how to explain Sun Zhi's question.

After a long while he said: "Then, brother, what do you think the reason is?"

"Could it be that Yu Wenyu was really frightened by our false claim that Lu Zhi's reinforcements were coming?"

Sun Zhi boldly guessed.

After saying that, he saw Sun Yun shaking his head, and then said: "Yu Wenyu is not Yu Fuluo, and if it is Yu Wenyu who wins the battle, my little strategy will not work at all, and it may have the opposite effect.

Yu Wenyu will take advantage of his plan."

"However, Yu Wenyu is now the defeated general. It can also be said that in that siege, we did not hesitate to give up Yanmen Pass's trick to lure the enemy, which made Yu Wenyu very afraid of us, and at the same time intensified his selfishness to preserve the tribe.

.”

"Actually, it doesn't need to be said so profoundly. In fact, Yu Wenyu's suspicion has expanded infinitely, and he has begun to be on the conservative side instead of attacking. In addition, I tied hay to the horse's tail and dragged it, and the dust raised was even more...

This made Yu Wenyu very suspicious. He would not think about where these soldiers and horses came from, but he would think about how to protect his tribe."

After listening, Sun Zhi asked again: "That still doesn't explain why Yu Wenyu, who has 70,000 troops, is afraid of us?"

"Brother, how much do you think Yu Wenyu can command?" Sun Yun changed the subject and asked Sun Zhi.

"...So that's it, haha, I think highly of Yu Fuluo. I thought the 70,000 people were all commander-in-chief Yu Wenyu." Sun Zhi thought about the truth carefully and understood.

"Among these 70,000, there is not only Yu Wenyu's tribe, but also other small tribes or large tribes, which are mixed together to form 70,000 soldiers and horses. Even Yu Fuluo, who is the King of Zuoxian, dare not claim that this 100,000

The troops and horses are all our own."

"And most of these 70,000 people were summoned by Yuvluo in the name of Zuoxian King. They all have second thoughts. Why can Qin State be able to compete with the Six Kingdoms? It's because everyone has second thoughts.

Only sending troops but not exerting force will eventually lead to the defeat of Qin State one by one and achieve unification."

Sun Zhi was greatly enlightened after hearing this, and then he laughed loudly.

Sun Yun turned to look at Sun Zhi, somewhat confused as to why Sun Zhi was laughing.

Sun Zhi probably understood what Sun Yun was thinking and said: "The reason why I laugh is because my second brother is only ten years old and his mind is so mature and steady that he can share his father's worries."

Sun Zhi smiled with satisfaction and continued: "This time we will take a long way to Yanmen Pass. Second brother, what are your plans?"

Sun Yun was riding a horse and was stunned when he heard Sun Zhi's question: "Brother? Do you really want me to speak?"

Looking at the stunned Sun Yun, Sun Zhi was also a little confused. This second brother was so wise and thoughtful that sometimes he really couldn't understand what he was thinking.

"Actually, I took this long detour for no other reason than to act as a reinforcement and show it to Humphrey." After saying that, he pointed to the lot of hay tied behind the pony's tail.

Sun Zhi looked back again and found that each horse had a lot of hay tied to its tail. Even the horses used to drive the cavalry were also tied with hay.

Viewed from a distance, the dust raised could be estimated to be tens of thousands of soldiers and horses coming from afar.

Sun Zhi looked behind again and saw a bunch of flags with the word "Lu" written on them clearly visible.

But Sun Zhi was stunned, and then he said with a wry smile: "Brother, I was too anxious to ask you, second brother, that I didn't even see...second brother, you actually prepared these things."

"Haha, it's okay. As long as Yufuluo sees the sand and dust coming from the distance when he attacks the city, we just need to wait for the situation of the battle." Sun Yun shook his head with a wry smile. It's not surprising that Sun Zhi took so long to discover this.



"Hey!" A man in alien attire with a goatee on his chin suddenly reined in his horse and stood up.

He looked in the direction of Yanmenguan with a gloomy expression.

Yuwen Nu and Yuwen Hen followed behind, both looking at the middle-aged man with strange expressions.

"What's wrong with the clan leader? Don't you want to withdraw from the tribe?" One of the big men asked in confusion.

"Alas, I fell into that kid's trick..." Yu Wenyu sighed. Although his face was still gloomy, it was much better than when he reined in his horse and got up.

"What? Are there no reinforcements at all?" Yu Wennu asked in confusion.

Seeing Yu Wenyu nodded, Yu Wennu immediately said angrily: "This kid is so cunning, he actually deceived me!"

"Okay... we fell into that kid's plan, mainly because I was too suspicious. If I could think about it calmly, I might be able to use the kid's plan to defeat all the cavalry in one fell swoop."

Yu Wenyu said distressedly, but he was thinking in his heart: "Lu Zhi? I'm afraid the Emperor of the Han Dynasty doesn't even know the news of our attack. Where did the reinforcements come from? This Sun Yun can actually deceive us and others. However,

…This time I still lost for a while.”

He shook his head to wake himself up, and then waved his riding whip: "Escaping in the middle of battle is not what our Yuwen tribe wants to do. If King Zuo Xian is blamed, the Yuwen tribe may not be able to protect itself. The warriors will follow me back to Yanmen Pass to help King Zuo Xian!"

With an order, Yu Wenyu once again led everyone to set off for Yanmen Pass.

And when Yu Wenyu led his troops back to Yanmen Pass, in front of Yanmen Pass, Yu Fuluo led his troops and ordered to attack the city.

The news of Sun Xiong's death quickly spread throughout the army like a plague, and the battle to defend the city was almost ended by Humphrey.

Fortunately, Yanmen Pass is guarded by Xie An. Although Xie An is just a teacher, with Sun Xiong's help, no one dares to openly disobey Xie An's command.

At first, there were indeed many dissatisfied soldiers who did not obey the command, and in the end the Huns almost attacked the city. Later, Xie An bravely stepped forward to confront the enemy, completely infecting the surrounding Yanmen Army defenders. Under Xie An's excellent command, he again

Attacked.

However, since Sun Xiong was the main implementer of the plan, Xie An also spread the plan among the army after learning from Sun Lie that his lord was fine.

However, the soldiers didn't care about their plans. As long as they heard that General Sun Xiong was still alive, they all raised their weapons and shouted loudly: "Oh! Defeat the Huns! I will never return!"

Xie An walked at the critical moment, and then saw the Xiongnu attacking the city again with his sword, and shouted loudly: "This time we will defend the city to the death! For our Han soil, our homeland! Defend to the death!"

"Archers, fire arrows!" Xie An gave the order, and thousands of arrows were fired, causing casualties to the Huns soldiers who had not yet reached the critical moment.

Wait until the Huns soldiers began to set up ladders to build the wall.

"Push the nearest ladder

Get down! Quickly carry the rolling logs over there and throw them down hard to kill the Huns!"

"Pour fire oil on it! Then shoot arrows to burn the ladder over there!"

As soon as Xie An finished speaking, the arrow instantly reached the location Xie An said. Under the influence of the kerosene, the fire instantly covered the ladder. The flames were like demons, burning all the Hun soldiers on the ladder and falling.

Close it.

Yufro stood outside the pass and saw that Yanmen Pass could still erupt such a fierce defense.

Suddenly he was furious: "We have 20,000 troops? Can't we capture the empty Yanmen Pass?"

Just when Yufuluo was furious, his close men ran to Yufuluo and said: "Report, King Zuo Xian, each tribe has led its own troops. A total of 70,000 horses have arrived at the rear and are ready to join the battlefield at any time."

"Okay! Now that another 70,000 troops have joined, I want to see how the Yanmen Army can defend itself without Sun Xiong."

Humphrey laughed loudly, and all his anger was wiped away by the arrival of the reinforcements.

"However, I noticed that sand and dust seemed to be swirling in the distance. The Hun warriors in charge of the reconnaissance said that it seemed that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had almost arrived at Yanmen Pass, and the flag had the word "Lu" written on it."

The confidant said in a low voice with some uncertainty.

"Huh? The word "Lu"? Could it be that the Han army has reinforcements coming?" Yu Fuluo also had some contact with the Han army, so naturally he had heard of the word "Lu", so it should be Lu Zhi without a doubt.

After hearing this, Yu Fulo's face darkened: "This Han army is really fast. It's no wonder that the morale of the Yanmen army is so high. Sun Xiong left and Lu Zhi came. It's really... But

I have an army of 100,000, how can I be afraid of Lu Zhi?"

After saying that, his sullen face improved a lot, and he waved his hand: "Tell the tribal leaders to take their troops to participate in the siege immediately!"

"Yes!" After hearing this, the confidants immediately retreated.



After a great battle, the Huns also withdrew first due to the weather.

Having defended the Xiongnu siege, Xie An breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then looked at the Xiongnu army that had begun to set up a camp, and there was a steady stream of Xiongnu troops arriving from behind.

For a moment, Xie An frowned and thought to himself: "It seems that the 70,000 troops behind the Xiongnu have arrived. After guarding for such a long time, it is time to continue to implement the plan."

"Report! Lu Zhi's army has arrived outside the pass, please ask General Xie An to make a decision." As early as when he left the pass to attack the camp, Sun Xiong conferred the title of General Xie An as a treat.

Xie An also happily accepted it, because this way he could better command the remaining 7,000 troops and the 10,000 troops who had just returned.

Now at this level, Xie An can be said to be second only to Sun Xiong as a general.

"Well, why did Lu Zhi come?" Xie An became confused when he heard this.

"You see, it's Lu Zhi who's doing the customs clearance?"

Xie An asked.

The soldier whispered: "No, but I saw that the eldest son and the second son are both in Guanxia, ​​and the one named Guan is also the second son."

When he heard that Sun Yun was inside Lu Zhi's army, Xie An's frown gradually relaxed.

He smiled in his heart and said: "This Sun Yun is really the icing on the cake, a timely help. I was still worried about how to trick Yuvluo into launching a large-scale attack, so Sun Yun gave me a big gift."
