"General, who is the person you are talking about? Tell everyone. I, Old Zhao, want to see who is this evil person who actually did such a thing."

General Zhao had a bad temper and broke out on the spot. He asked Chen Xi, his tone full of disgust and anger towards the traitor.

"Yes, just tell me, General, we brothers, who are working so hard outside, actually get such a result, that person is going too far."

When General Zhao opened his mouth, everyone was not to be outdone and spoke out to express their anger.

"Everyone is living on the edge of a knife. When I wake up every day, I don't know if I will see the sun tomorrow. But everyone still joins the army fearlessly. Isn't it so that the country can be stabilized?"

"Those high-ranking officials in the court, even if they can't help us kill a few enemies, are actually stabbing us in the back. If it weren't for the people on the border, I would really want to give up my job."

"That's right, that's right..."

Everyone was so excited that they wanted to bring the person who betrayed them before their eyes and stab him twice to vent their anger.

"Okay." Chen Xi said in a deep voice, and the cold voice silenced everyone who was filled with anger, "I know your anger, and I also know your hatred."

"I am a soldier like you. As a general, I know the consequences of the war more clearly than you, and I know the sacrifices after the war. Every soldier who is disabled or dead, their list

Everything passes through my hands and then goes to the capital."

"But you are angry, and you cannot say anything out loud. If someone with a heart hears it, have you thought about the consequences? Furthermore, if you really give up, you will be the first to be hurt.

Aren’t they just people from the frontier?”

Chen Xi's prestige in the army was very high. Seeing her angry, everyone bowed their heads and reflected on their mistakes, and no one spoke up to object.

Chen Xi looked around and listened to everyone, then Cha continued: "I hope this is the first time you say this, and it will also be the last time."

"If the anger in your hearts persists, then fight back our enemies, the Huns and invaders who dare to invade our homeland, and use our strength to tell them that we are not easy to mess with.

Yes, let them know clearly the consequences of offending us."

"yes---"

Everyone answered loudly. At this moment, they seemed to have returned to the atmosphere of fighting together on the battlefield not long ago. Everyone's hearts were connected and they were advancing and retreating together.

"As for that traitor, when we finish the war, he should be killed." Chen Xi knew the essence of a slap in the face and a candy. "The current regent is worried that there will be internal agents of the Huns in the capital.

So I won’t kill the other party for the time being.”

When everyone heard this, they felt satisfied. It was just a few days away. Then they could watch the other party's execution in person, which would be even more satisfying.

Lin Xuan also had eyes, and when he saw that everyone was satisfied, he quickly took out the map he had prepared and threw it on the table for everyone to take a look.

"Lin Xuan, do you know who is leading the troops this time?" Chen Xi asked while looking at the map.

"I heard it's the second prince on the Xiongnu side, Yeluye. Their troops probably won't arrive at the camp until tonight."

"Tonight?" Chen Xi looked at the path Yeluye would take, then bent his fingers and tapped the table gently, "Do you think that if Yeluye comes to the military camp, will their troops go to pick him up?"

Lin Xuan glanced at Chen Xi doubtfully and answered: "Of course, Yeluye is a prince no matter what. To show their loyalty, they will pick him up and take him into the camp."

"very good."

Chen Xi's meaningless words made everyone a little confused. They looked up at Chen Xi waiting for her next words.

"Here ---" Chen Xi pointed at a point on the map and said, "This is the only way Yeluye must pass. A little further, it happens to be a natural ambush location. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If

Setting up an ambush here will make it even more difficult to see clearly when it gets dark. When Yeluye's men and horses pass by, our people will take action. Even if the opponent's people cannot be completely annihilated, they can still be severely weakened.

"

"Wonderful---" General Zhao saw that it was indeed the case. As long as they detoured and outflanked the area, they would have won half the battle.

When two armies fight, the outcome of the first battle is extremely important to each other. If this battle can be completely won, it will definitely severely damage the morale of the other side.

A team without morale is like a tiger without teeth and has no basis at all.

"General Chen, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, listened to the order and formed a team with your troops and General Zhao's troops to detour and ambush Yeluye. This operation follows General Zhao's orders. Those who do not obey the orders will all be ordered to do so.

Military justice."

"yes---"

General Zhao answered loudly, but General Chen looked a little ugly and did not answer.

"General Chen," Chen Xi saw General Chen's face and said, "I know you have a rift with General Zhao. Asking you to obey General Zhao's orders seems like asking you to surrender first, and you can't accept it in your heart."

"But this is also a helpless move," Chen Xi sighed, "This battle is in a hurry, everyone is rushing nearby, and among these people, only your people are the best at raiding. For the safety of the soldiers, this

You are the perfect choice for this matter."

"General Zhao is acting cautiously. This matter is related to the following events, so there can't be any mistakes. So I chose to let you act together. If there is another choice, I will not let you act together, because it is really dangerous."

It’s too risky.”

"I hope you can temporarily put aside your personal grudges. The top priority now is to eliminate the enemy in front of you. If you can't do it, speak now and I will replace the enemy with another one."

General Chen clenched his fists, his emotions were changing in his heart, and he was struggling fiercely. The princess was right, personal emotions should not appear in the face of big rights and wrongs.

"General, take your orders."

"Very good," Chen Xi compromised General Chen and continued, "Remember, don't be greedy to advance. As soon as the opponent's reinforcements arrive, retreat immediately. Don't be reluctant to fight to avoid unnecessary losses."

"yes."

"Lin Xuan, you lead a group of people and secretly set fire to their food and grass while the people from the camp were picking up Yeluye. Can you do it?"

"The people in the big camp will definitely guard the food and grass closely. Plus they have enough people and horses. They will definitely be discovered soon after setting the fire. It will be troublesome to retreat by then."

Lin Xuan said with a sullen face and an ugly expression.

He was afraid that if he failed to set the fire successfully, he would be caught and everything would end in vain.

"Tight guarding is a must, but tonight is our best opportunity," Chen Xi stood up and explained clearly to everyone, "Today they will send some troops to pick up Yeluye, and then the troops who are in the camp will definitely not

There's enough, and if we act carefully, we'll have a chance."

"Moreover, the three armies have not moved, and food and grass go first. The Xiongnu side has always been in short supply of food. As long as we have the opportunity to burn the food, even if they make up for it later, the missing food and grass will greatly weaken their vitality. They want

It is impossible to gather food and fodder during a war."

"So when the time comes they won't be able to afford it, and they can only choose a quick decision. Mistakes are bound to happen while they're busy. The more they want a quick decision, the better chance we have of winning."

"What a great idea." Lin Xuan slapped the tabletop excitedly, "As long as we can prevent them from jumping over the wall, we can say that we will win this battle."

"That's right," Chen Xi nodded, and then said, "Don't bring too many people with you then, just elite soldiers. It will be safer to retreat then."

"no problem."

"By the way," Chen Xi thought of a good idea, "Go find some sesame oil or spirits, bring some with you, and then pour it on when you set fire to it, the fire will be more intense."

Lin Xuan looked at Chen Xi in shock, and gave a thumbs up, "This is a good idea."

I couldn't be more ruthless. Fortunately, they were not enemies. If they didn't let me, they would have been tricked to death. If I poured the wine and oil on them, would the food be saved?

It’s so cruel!!! It’s so cruel!!!

The morning light issued military orders one after another, and everyone left to do their own things, striving to finish this battle as soon as possible so that everyone could feel at ease.

General Zhao assembled his troops and set off. Lin Xuan took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the enemy's camp and set fire to their food.

Lin Xuan still remembered Chen Xi's request. Before setting the fire, he poured some oil on it. As soon as the fire was put on, it ignited instantly. The food and grass in other places were also ignited one after another. The raging fire lit up the sky, and the sky seemed to be lit.

It burned, and became a bright red.

The fire was so intense that the enemy soon discovered that the food and grass had been burned, and hurried to put out the fire. Lin Xuan's men took advantage of the chaos and left the camp and returned to Chenxi's tent to resume their lives.

It was a coincidence that the people from the enemy camp had just left, and when they turned around, they saw their own camp was on fire. They hurried back to put out the fire without going to pick up Yeluye.

Seeing that Yeluye's people did not pick them up in time, General Zhao's men took advantage of the fact that Yeluye's men were in a hurry and were exhausted. They took advantage of Yeluye's illness to kill him and severely suppressed the opponent's men.

Without people from the camp to pick them up, Yeluye's men and horses could only rely on their own abilities to break out of General Zhao's encirclement. By the time they were out of the dangerous situation, more than half of the men and horses had already been damaged, and the rest were unlikely to survive.
