Liu Xiu frowned secretly and asked: "Brother, do you want to attack the barbarian army in Ganyou Mountain?"
Seeing Liu Yan's thoughtful look, Liu Xiu reminded him meaningfully: "Brother, there are at least five hundred barbarian troops hiding there, and the Qianyou Mountain is full of woods, and the barbarians have always been good at fighting in the woods. Fight."
Wang Ping nodded. He didn't think that his own thousand men could defeat the more than 500 barbarians hiding in Ganyou Mountain.
What's more, they currently have too little information. They don't know the exact strength of the opponent's troops and their combat power.
While he was talking, one of Liu Yan's confidants came in from outside. He stepped in and saluted Liu Yan and said, "Bosheng, Lord Feng, please see me!"
In the camp, there was only one adult named Feng, and that was Feng Yi. Liu Yan didn't know Feng Yi before, but this time they met in Hanzhong, the two hit it off.
Hearing that Feng Yi was coming, Liu Yan smiled and said, "Please come quickly!"
Not long after, a man in his early thirties walked in from outside.
He is of medium height, has a strong build, wears armor, and carries a sword under his ribs. Looking at his face, he has a white face, a plump face, thick eyebrows, slender eyes, a big nose and a big mouth, and a majestic appearance with a sense of righteousness.
After entering the camp, he first looked around at everyone present, then raised his hands to Liu Yan and said, "Brother Bo Sheng!"
Liu Yan stood up, returned the gift with his hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Gongsun, please sit down quickly!"
Feng Yi did not sit down immediately, but said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Bo Sheng's brother came to the camp, so I made a special trip to meet him."
Without the help of his elder brother to introduce him, Liu Xiu stood up on his own initiative, bowed his hand to Feng Yi and said, "I am Liu Xiu, Uncle Wen."
Feng Yi's eyes fell on Liu Xiu, he looked at him for a moment, then he smiled and said in reply: "My name is Feng Yi, courtesy name Gongsun."
Liu Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, please sit down!"
Everyone sat down one after another. Feng Yi looked at Liu Xiu and said, "I heard that Uncle Wen was escorting a group of women to the county town?"
Liu Xiu said: "In Baishan, my eldest brother rescued the next batch of women from the barbarians. We originally planned to send them to the local county government. Unexpectedly, the local county government was short of manpower and could not send them home, so we asked me to take them home." They go to the county town."
Feng Yi nodded and said, "This journey must not be easy, right?"
Liu Xiu said: "We did encounter attacks by barbarians on the way."
"No casualties?"
"Lost three brothers."
Feng Yi's eyes flashed and he said cheerfully: "I guess you haven't encountered many barbarians."
Hearing this, Zhang Ping felt quite unhappy and said seriously: "There are nearly a hundred barbarian soldiers, and we only have ten."
Not to mention the look of surprise on Feng Yi's face, even Liu Yan was shocked. He only knew that Liu Xiu and the others were attacked by barbarians, but he did not expect that they encountered nearly a hundred barbarians.
Zhang Ping continued: "Moreover, these nearly a hundred barbarians are not just ordinary people, but the elite of the Ugo Kingdom - Feihu Tu! Uncle Wen also killed one of the leaders, who was the famous general of the Ugo Kingdom, Wuli Xi. The head is right outside the tent!"
Feng Yi was shocked when he heard the words, while Liu Yan was surprised and happy when he heard the words.
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked up and laughed, admiring: "The courage of my little brother is no less than that of my big brother! Haha——"
Feng Yi couldn't help but look at Liu Xiu again. He really couldn't tell that Liu Yan's third brother was so powerful. Feng Yi really wanted to make friends with Liu Yan, and he also wanted to know more about Liu Yan's strength. Some.
When he heard that Liu Yan's brother Liu Xiu had come to the camp, he immediately sent someone to inquire. He learned that Liu Xiu had escorted dozens of women from Jing County to the county town safely. He immediately became interested in Liu Xiu.
You must know that the current situation is a time of chaos, with barbarians and bandits appearing everywhere. It sounds simple to transport dozens of women from Jing County to the county town, but in fact it is not easy to do.
Feng Yi's personality is not unruly, nor is he an arrogant person. On the contrary, he has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and is familiar with military strategies. He is humble and prudent, and his style of life is also very humble.
The reason why he said that just now was just to test Liu Xiu's truth.
He said with a smile: "Brother Bo Sheng is a hero among men, and Uncle Wen is no less generous!" After a moment, he asked curiously: "But, I don't know why this elite of the Ugo Kingdom appeared in Hanzhong?"
Liu Yan said: "This time when Asiu came to the county town, he also found out a very important military information. There are more than 500 barbarians hiding in Ganyou Mountain."
"Oh?" Feng Yi looked surprised and said, "Qianyou Mountain? It's not that far from the county town!"
Liu Yan nodded and said: "There are often barbarians near the county town. I suspect that these barbarians are probably from Mount Qianyou!" As he spoke, he looked at Feng Yi intently.
His one thousand men are indeed not strong enough to wipe out more than five hundred barbarians, but if he adds more than two thousand people commanded by Feng Yi, then it will be a sure shot to defeat five hundred with three thousand men.
The more critical point is that Feng Yi is good at using troops and is also good at training. The more than 2,000 rebels under his command are stronger than other rebels in terms of individual combat strength and mutual cooperation.
Feng Yi asked seriously: "Are you sure they are five hundred barbarians?"
"this……"
Liu Xiu responded: "It's not certain yet, but what is certain is that the number of barbarians hiding in Qianyou Mountain will never be less than five hundred."
Feng Yi rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and said: "This matter is of great importance, and we must find out more about it."
Liu Xiu said: "The barbarians in Qianyou Mountain are heavily guarded. No matter how many spies are sent, they will probably return without success."
Liu Yandao: "Brother Gongsun, how about we join forces and go to Ganyou Mountain to wipe out this barbarian army? After the victory of this battle, whether it is the credit or the spoils, you and I can share it equally!"
"No!" Feng Yi waved his hands quickly and said solemnly: "If Ganyou Mountain really hides a large number of barbarian troops, and there are elites from the barbarian army among them, then... the matter will be serious!
"I'm afraid we won't be able to stay outside the county. We must move to the city as soon as possible, or..."
Hurry up and stay away from this place of right and wrong. He didn't say the second half of the sentence, because the current situation was no longer one where they could leave if they wanted to.
Liu Yan looked puzzled and asked: "Brother Gongsun, why did you say this?"
Feng Yi smiled bitterly and asked: "Where is the county seat of Hanzhong County?"
"Where? It's the county town!" Liu Yan said meaningfully.
Feng Yi shook his head and said: "In addition to being a county town, Hanzhong City is also the logistics base of the Capital Army fighting in Yizhou. All the grain and grass of the Capital Army are stored in Hanzhong City. Once Hanzhong City is captured by the barbarians, this means that What? It means that the 100,000 capital troops will have no food to eat. Even if the capital army’s combat power can sweep away the barbarian army, in the end they will have no choice but to retreat due to lack of food!"
After listening to Feng Yi's words, Liu Xiu felt as if his thatched cottage suddenly opened up.
That's it! No wonder the barbarian soldiers would hide in Ganyou Mountain, which is neither a strategic location nor a major transportation route. It's just because it's remote and easy to hide, and it's close enough to the county town.
With the fighting power of the barbarian army, it is impossible to defeat the 100,000 capital army led by Lian Dan head-on. Their only hope of victory is to completely destroy the logistics supplies of the capital army.
In the entire logistics supply line of the Capital Army, Hanzhong City is the top priority.
The barbarian army's infiltration operation cannot be carried out by an entire army with great fanfare, as that would be too easy to expose their tracks.
They could only break into pieces and secretly sneak into Hanzhong County in batches without anyone noticing.
As a result, they needed a safe and concealed secret assembly point, so Ganyou Mountain, which was not far from the county and was located in a remote area, naturally became the first choice for the barbarian army.
If this is the case, the number of barbarian troops hiding in Ganyou Mountain is not just 500, but 5,000 or even more is possible!
This is also the reason why Feng Yi said that they cannot continue to be stationed outside the city. If the barbarian army really attacks Hanzhong City in a large scale, the first unlucky people will be the rebels stationed outside the city.
After Feng Yi's reminder, Liu Xiu figured this out, and so did Liu Yan. The latter's face suddenly changed and he said, "In this case, Hanzhong City is now likely to be attacked by the main force of the barbarians at any time. A dangerous place?"
Feng Yi nodded slowly, and then he stood up suddenly and said: "Brother Bo Sheng, we have to go see the captain immediately and ask the captain to ask for help from the capital army as soon as possible!"
Liu Yanye had already realized the seriousness of the situation, so he dared not delay. He stood up and said, "Let's go! Brother Gongsun! We will enter the city immediately!"
Liu Xiu stood up and said, "Brother, I'll go with you!"
Liu Xiu was impressed by Feng Yi's analysis.
For the same piece of information, I couldn't analyze it at all. I just felt it was a bit weird and weird. But when I got it to Feng Yi, I could analyze it clearly and logically. This kind of ability has to be admired.
Liu Yan nodded and hurried into the city with Liu Xiu, Feng Yi and others.
As soon as they reached the city gate and before they entered, a carriage came out of the city and stopped in front of them.
Zhu Yun jumped out of the carriage, looked at Liu Yan and others in surprise, and asked, "Brother Bo Sheng, are you going to the city?"
Liu Yan responded and said, "We have something urgent to do. We need to meet the captain." He looked at the carriage Zhu Yun was riding in and asked, "Has the county government settled all the women?"
When Zhu Yun heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I saw Hu Cao, but Hu Cao said that this matter was not theirs, so he asked me to go to Shi Cao. I found Shi Cao, and Shi Cao said that I should go to Hu Cao. Cao, it’s just a matter of passing the blame, and no one wants to take care of it.”
Liu Yan frowned and asked, "What about them?"
"Miss Ye will take care of things for the time being."
"Miss Ye?"
"The eldest lady of the Ye family! She is the girl Axiu rescued in Xing County!"
Liu Yan still looked confused, and Axiu never told him who he had saved in Xing County!
Seeing his eldest brother looking at him, Liu Xiu explained: "Brother Heping and the others rescued two girls near Xi County. One is named Ye Qingqiu and the other is named Man'er. It was just a simple effort. It was a trivial matter, so I didn't tell the eldest brother. Start this matter."
Zhu Yun couldn't help laughing and said: "Axiu, this is no small matter. Do you know who this Miss Ye is?"
Liu Xiu shook his head. He and Ye Qingqiu had not exchanged a few words. He said, "I only know that she lives in the county."
Zhu Yun said: "Ye Tian, a local nobleman in the county, is Miss Ye's father."
The Ye family is a very prestigious and famous family in Hanzhong County. Not only does it do a lot of business in the business world, it is also very influential in the officialdom. Even Wang Xun, the prefect of Hanzhong County, is related by marriage to the Ye family.
Zhu Yun patted the carriage beside him and said with a smile: "Axiu, I also borrowed your help. The Ye family specially sent a carriage to take me out of the city."
After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, grabbed Liu Xiu's wrist and said, "By the way, Axiu, you're just in time, come with me to Ye's house, Mr. Ye wants to see you!"
