Sun Xiong looked at the seemingly dangerous Tonggu where Xie An pointed, and asked with some confusion: "I don't know, sir, what does this mean?"

Xie An drew a circle around the area where Tonggu was located, and then said: "Although there is no need to worry about this place, although the Taihang Mountains are steep, Tonggu is not steep."

"Sir, what do you mean?" Sun Xiong also understood a little bit and said suddenly.

"Haha, the Xiongnu did a very good job in this secret operation. If Xie Xuan hadn't suggested this, I wouldn't have thought of it. Moreover, even if we ambush in Tonggu in advance, it would be useless." After saying that, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

.

When Xie An said this, Sun Xiong began to think thoughtfully.

"The Huns are good at horses, and even better at riding and shooting. If the Huns were allowed to pass through the valley, they would be able to pass through it in just a few breaths." Xie An returned to his position.

Sun Xiong thought about the terrain of the valley. It was indeed as Xie An said. If the Huns really rode through, it would only take a few breaths.

"Mr. Zhenzhao said this, the ambush is of no use." Sun Xiong thought of a key point, which is that in a straight line, the Huns may directly pass through Tonggu, and then they will counter-encircle our army.

"It seems that someone in the Huns guessed that Tonggu did not have any defenses. Even if there were defenses and an ambush, they could defeat it openly. By then, Tonggu's army would become a turtle in a urn."

"Not only will the army be counterattacked, but Tonggu will also become a safe place for the Xiongnu. They can encircle the enemy for reinforcements and defeat the rescuing troops one by one."

Sun Xiong said in a deep voice.

Xie An nodded and said: "But there is no need to worry, general. In fact, these are not difficult tasks. What the Huns are proud of is their mobility. As long as their mobility is gone, they will naturally be able to deal with them with ease."

"Well, it is true that although the Huns are more mobile and their cavalry and shooting are more stable than our Han army, when they are under the horse, they have nothing to worry about." Sun Xiong himself also has a solution in his mind, which can only be said to be a clear plan.

It's too easy to break. I don't know if it's Liu Yuan's own idea or that of the dog-headed military advisor.

If it were Liu Yuan himself, there would be nothing to worry about.

At that time, as long as we make a slight change, it will not be that the Huns will use their tactics, but we will set up a trap to lure the Huns into.

"Haha, I am really lucky to have you help me, Sun Xiong, and Yanmen."

Sun Xiong laughed loudly and ordered: "I will immediately ask General Ma Yue to lead 10,000 troops, immediately go to Tonggu to ambush, and block the road to Tonggu."

"Ahem, I don't think General Ma Yue is qualified for this trip to Tonggu."

Xi Zhong, who had been silent for the whole time, spoke.

"Oh? I wonder why the military advisor said that?"

Sun Xiong was not angry, but looked at Xi Zhong in confusion, wanting Xi Zhong to explain why Ma Yue was not qualified for this trip to Tonggu.

"Zhong felt that just by repelling the Huns, when the main force came to attack, Yanmen Pass would be equally difficult to resist."

Xi Zhong touched his chin and said slowly: "The Huns can actually think of using their tricks to surround us, so why don't we do the opposite and annihilate this army?"

Xi Zhicai's eyes were still a little dazed, but when he said these words, people felt that his lifeless eyes were looking at everyone with light.

After getting up, he walked towards the center of the crowd and said slowly:

"We can exchange 10,000 for 30,000, 10,000 from Yanmen County, plus 20,000 from Yanmen Pass, which makes a total of 30,000 to ambush in Tonggu."

"You can station 10,000 troops on each side of the valley, use 10,000 troops to ambush, and then encircle them and annihilate them all."

"Destroy the Xiongnu who made a surprise attack, and then let 10,000 of the elites change into Xiongnu clothes and disguise themselves as defeated troops and go to the main Xiongnu army. Then notify the soldiers at Yanmen Pass to attack from two sides and inflict a heavy blow on the Xiongnu."

After saying that, he looked at Sun Xiong excitedly, wanting to hear what Sun Xiong was like.

"The plan is a good one, but it is too dangerous. If the main force of the Huns does not arrive in time, won't the two-sided attack be self-defeating?"

Sun Xiong understood that being able to inflict a heavy blow this time would alleviate the pressure on Yanmen.

Yanmen itself only has 30,000 troops and horses. After taking away 20,000 troops, only 10,000 troops and horses are left.

If 10,000 soldiers and horses defend the attack of a 100,000-strong army, how much pressure will it put on the remaining 10,000 Yanmen Pass defenders?

Hearing Sun Xiong's worries, Xi Zhong said solemnly: "General, please Xinzhong once. Zhong promises that as long as the Xiongnu troops appear in Tonggu, the main force will not be far from the border."

When Sun Xiong saw Xi Zhong's agreement, he could only nod his head and said: "If General Ma Yue is not qualified for this trip to the valley, then who can be qualified?"

Xi Zhong seemed to have already found a candidate, and said directly: "Zhong believes that Lieutenant Yang is qualified for this ambush."

"Colonel Yang? Are you talking about Captain Yang Lin of City Gate?" Sun Xiong thought for a while and then realized that he did have a captain named Yang under his command.

"Exactly, although this man is a little older, he has extremely rich experience in commanding troops. He is even familiar with military books and is good at arranging troops and forming formations."

When Sun Xiong heard that Xi Zhong praised this person so much, he became interested and immediately summoned Yang Lin.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in military uniform walked into the prefect's mansion. Yang Lin was 1.8 feet tall and extremely strong. Although his hair was a little gray, his expression did not look old.

Just by looking at him, one can feel that this person is not only familiar with the art of war as the dramatist said, but his bravery is probably not low either.

"Are you Yang Lin?"

Sun Xiong asked.

"Yang Lin has met General Zhengbei." Yang Lin raised his hand and said loudly.

"It turned out to be recommended to you by the military advisor, so naturally I won't have any doubts. You will be the commander of this battle to annihilate the surprise attack force in Tonggu, okay?"

Yang Lin didn't know why he came here. He only knew that General Sun Xiong summoned him to go to the prefect's mansion.

Now that I am here, I hear what Sun Xiong said, and I know that I will be reused this time, and I feel happy in my heart.

Everyone has the idea of ​​making meritorious deeds, becoming a marquis and becoming a prime minister. Now he is in Yanmen, he is already quite old but he is still just a city gate captain.

Now that he can be given an important task, he will definitely be able to build up the industry. Although Yang Lin was excited in his heart, he asked very calmly on the surface: "It turned out to be the military advisor who recommended me, so of course I will not shirk it. This can be regarded as repaying the general's trust."

Sun Xiong nodded when he saw Yang Lin's performance, and then told the details of today's discussion and the strategy proposed by Xi Zhong.

After Yang Lin listened, he also expressed his thoughts on the plan to go deep into the grassland this time.

Ce was deeply surprised and glanced at the pale man.

Now that he heard that the leading figure this time was handed over to him without reservation, Yang Lin was even more excited, and he was even more grateful to Sun Xiong who respected his opera loyalty and granted him the important task.

His voice was louder than before, and he said with certainty: "Yang Lin, I will live up to your fate."

"Haha, Colonel Yang has to perform well now that he is leading the three armies. He has nothing to do. I also heard that Yang Lie, who single-handedly held back ten thousand armies three years ago, is Colonel Yang's nephew. I wonder if An is right?"

Xie An congratulated him and said.

"Yang Lie is indeed someone's nephew. I heard that he performed meritorious service on the battlefield. Now that he is guarding the border at Yanmen Pass, he can be considered a contribution to our Yang family."

Yang Lin was extremely happy when he talked about Yang Lie. Yang Lin was also a man of good temperament, and he was even more pleased with Yang Lie's heroic feat of blocking thousands of troops and defending Sun Xiong's escape to the death.

When Sun Xiong heard that Yang Lie turned out to be Yang Lin's nephew, he was even more surprised and praised him several times.

After a few polite words, Sun Xiong said solemnly: "Today Yang Lin was promoted to the rebel general and commanded 10,000 troops and horses in Yanmen County and 20,000 troops and horses in Yanmen Pass. After the 20,000 troops and horses in Yanmen Pass are assembled, he will go immediately

Tonggu.”

Yang Lin received the order and said loudly: "General, I will obey your order!"

Xie An thought for a while and then said: "General, An thinks that General Yang Lin may not be able to convince the public. It is better to let Mr. Sun Yun accompany General Yang Lin as his deputy general. Mr. Sun Yun also has some prestige in the army, so that he can

General Yang Lin can also grasp the morale of the army as quickly as possible."

After hearing this, Sun Xiong nodded in agreement and said, "This will allow Sun Yun to follow Yang Lin and obey Yang Lin's arrangements in everything."

When Xie Xuan heard that Sun Yun could also go to the battlefield, he was immediately unhappy and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General Sun Xiong, I also want to follow General Yang Lin to ambush the Huns!"

"Oh? You want to go to the battlefield too?" Sun Xiong looked at Xie Xuandao playfully.

"General, don't think that I have no help just because I am young. Ziwu was able to go to the battlefield to reverse the situation at the age of ten, and Zhiyan was able to go to the battlefield and behead the Xiongnu general at the age of nine. And in ancient times, Gan Luo was twelve years old.

If you can become a prime minister, now that Ziwu can go to the battlefield, why can’t I?"

"Then do you want to become this Gan Luo?"

Sun Xiong said seriously.

"No, I want to be myself and become a world-famous Confucian general."

Xie Xuan said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Sun Xiong snapped and said: "Okay, you really want to go to the battlefield, so you can go, but you need your elder brother's consent."

"Haha, Youdu actually wants to go, so just go... Even if I don't agree, Youdu will follow you secretly."

Xie An said slowly beside him.

"Sir, you have agreed. Then you can follow Yang Lin's will, but you must also obey Yang Lin's arrangements like Sun Yun, okay?"

When he heard that he could go to the battlefield, Xie Xuan naturally didn't care who he listened to, so he said loudly: "Xie Xuan takes the order!"

Although Xie An did not want Xie Xuan to go to the battlefield so early in the morning, there is always a time when the young eagle flies high. Only by experiencing the baptism of the battlefield can he become a qualified general.
