Chapter 26: Incredible

The next day, in the meeting hall of the Yuzhou General Administration Office, Li Yunxin held a few pieces of paper in his hand, full of shock, because the contents on these papers were said to have been passed by aids from outside the city, and he could not believe what method the other party could use to pass it in.

The enemy besieged Xuanhu, dug trenches, built long encirclements, and circled Xuanhu. Even if the reinforcements approached Xuanhu, they were only thirty miles away. How could they break through the enemy's interception and pass the message in?

Of course, this kind of "technical details" are not what Li Yunxin cares about the most. According to the content written on the paper, Chen Jun succeeded in a sneak attack on Guangling, Yuchi Youqi was defeated, and the situation in Huainan reversed.

The Guangcheng friendly troops were defending in Chai Village and defeated nearly 20,000 cavalry commanded by Yuchi Dun himself, which was also an amazing victory.

"The government army first defeated Yuchi Jing at Tongguan, and then Yuchi Youqi was defeated. Now Yuchi Dun is also defeated. No wonder the reinforcements can approach Xuanhu!"

"The Yuchi family suffered a series of great defeats, which is a good time for our army to counterattack!"

"I didn't expect that Chen Jun was able to kick the eagle with a rabbit and succeeded. It seems that Yuchi Youqi's military service level is not very good!"

Several generals were talking excitedly. Now the generals present in the conference hall had a copy of "good news". Everyone was overjoyed after reading it. Although they didn't know how the news spread to the city, they would never suspect that King Xiyang was lying.

Yang Su looked at the "good news" in her hand and kept twisting her beard. Although her face was calm, she was very excited. Like others, he would not suspect that Yu Wen Wen deliberately forged good news and asked for "looking on the plums to quench his thirst".

According to the content written on the paper, Yang Su knew that the full attack of Yuchi had failed. Yuwen stabilized the situation in Guanzhong through the battle of Tongguan. Everyone had known this good news before, and Chen Jun succeeded in a sneak attack on Guangling, which was beyond Yang Su's expectations.

He was not very clear about the level of military use in Yuchi Youqi, but if it were common sense, since Yuchi Dun had his younger brother take on such a heavy responsibility, he would have arranged a capable assistant to give him advice. Now that he has ended up in such a crushing defeat, it is probably due to his arrogant soldier mentality.

However, even if Yuchi Youqi is proud and underestimated the enemy, he should have done all the defenses he should have, and he will be attacked by Chen Jun, which is simply incredible.

In general, the performance of Chen State has been a little incredible since he repelled the siege of Yuchi Youqi's army at the beginning of this year to the successful attack on Guangling.

The State of Chen is not without brave men or generals, but the monarch is not good, and it will only make these loyal ministers and good generals hide from dust. Yang Su has always held this view.

Ten years ago, when Emperor Tianyuan was still alive, he appointed Duke of Yun Wei Xiaokuan as the marshal and Liang Shiyan, Yuwen Liang and others as the marshal to guide the land of the Chen State in Huainan and Jiangbei. At that time, Yang Su also followed the army to fight.

The Chen army's resistance was not worth mentioning in the face of the fierce offensive of the Zhou army. The Zhou army only took several months to capture all the land of Chen State north of the Yangtze River. Yang Su personally felt the incompetence of the Chen army.

This incompetence is generally speaking. Of course, the Chen army does not lack brave generals and soldiers who are good at fighting, but just as the two armies are not very useful in personal bravery when they are fighting each other, the various troops of the Chen army who are fighting alone cannot resist the thunder attack of the Zhou army.

Since Wu Mingche, Chen State lacked a commanding talent and could not command the generals of various divisions and work together to fight against the Zhou army. In other words, there are such people, but they cannot gain the trust of the monarch of Chen State.

Among the monarchs of Chen, except for Chen Baxian, who founded the country, other monarchs of all generations were not in command and could not personally lead the Chen army to win battles. However, they were suspicious of capable generals and would rather trust in incompetent royal families than let the generals on the battlefield take the lead.

Chen Xu passed away, and Chen Shubao, who succeeded to the throne, was simply a model of a foolish monarch. He was the same as Gao Wei, the late lord of Qi. Yang Su did not think that such a monarch could revive the grandeur of Chen State. So, Chen Jun's outstanding performance now is an extraordinary master who is giving guidance behind the scenes?

Yang Su knew very little related information, so he could not draw a conclusion. Another question that he cared about was what means Yuwen Wen had to cross more than 30 miles away and communicate information with reinforcements out of thin air.

Thinking of this endless trick, Yang Su couldn't help but feel glad for his original decision: he determined that Yuwen had a "trump card" that could make up for the huge gap in strength with Yuchi, and he was willing to take all his bets to protect the emperor from going south.

After these months, Yang Su felt more and more that his judgment was correct. Now Yuwen Wen was able to communicate information with reinforcements thirty miles away out of thin air with incredible means. It was a powerful weapon for the army.

Although he knew that doing this was a bit abrupt, Yang Su still asked for advice:

"The king, there is something unknown to the lower official."

"Please say it to you by envoy Yang."

"I wonder if the light that flashed on the tower last night had something to do with the news from our army and reinforcements."

In the face of Yang Su's question, Yu Wenwen, whose eyes were dark, did not intend to keep it confidential because this communication system would be promoted in the future as an upgraded version of Post Station, and quickly convey messages.

"Eunuch Yang has used the Qianli Mirror, right?"

"As the king said, I have indeed used it." After hearing Yuwen Wen's question, Yang Su probably nodded, but he was still a little bit away from figuring out.

"Then, use a larger thousand-mile mirror to observe and record the symbols placed by the distant target. These various symbols agreed in advance represent the corresponding content..."

"Ah, so that's it. The lower officials have received the teachings."

Yuwen Wen briefly said the basics, and Yang Su quickly figured it out. After hearing this, the other generals also figured out the key points one after another, and then became more and more excited: "King, in this way, can our army contact foreign aids at any time?"

"That depends on the weather. As long as it is not heavy rain, heavy snow, strong wind, fog, daytime, day and night, the news can be transmitted. Of course, if there is too much content, it will take longer."

"In this way, will our army agree to act with reinforcements?"

“That’s exactly that.”

Yuwen Wen has always been very trustworthy and his words are extremely credible. Although the generals were not under Yuwen Wen's command before the sneak attack on Xuanhu, Yuwen Wen's performance over the past few months has made everyone admire him, so no one has any doubts about what Yuwen Wen said this time.

With such means, even if the enemy digs trenches and builds a long siege, it will not be possible to cut off the connection between the defenders in the city and the reinforcements outside the city. Even if the two are thirty miles apart, the most important thing is that the enemy does not know that they have such means.

In this way, it is not impossible to attack the enemy inside and outside to give the enemy a "surprise"!

The atmosphere in the conference hall became more and more active. Yu Wenwen took a sip of tea and sat aside and closed his eyes to rest. He did not sleep well last night, not because he received a message from reinforcements, but because of a dream.

He thought about something every day and dreamed about something at night. Yuwen Wen's princess and prince were held by his family. He was always upset. He finally fell asleep last night but had a nightmare.

He dreamed that he defeated Yuchi Dun's army outside Xuanhu City. Yuchi Chifan and his son were taken back to Yecheng by defeated soldiers, and then he rushed northward. He was as powerful as a bamboo shoot and finally attacked the outskirts of Yecheng.

Yuchi gathered his last force and fought with him outside the city. In that battle, he fought to the darkness. In the end, he personally rushed to the battlefield and stabbed the enemy commander under the horse, resulting in a great defeat in the enemy.

It was not until this time that he discovered that the enemy commander was his father-in-law Yu Chi Shun.

Yuchi Chifan, who was staying in the city, heard the bad news and committed suicide in grief. Yuwen Weicheng encountered Ah Niang committing suicide and was severely stimulated. From then on, his temperament changed drastically.

The pseudonym Yuchi Jingchou embarked on the road of revenge as the last descendant of the Yuchi clan...

This dream was so terrifying that Yuwen Wen broke out in a cold sweat and could no longer sleep. He rubbed the amulet that Yuchi Chifan asked for from the temple until dawn.

Li Yunxin saw Yuwen Wen in a daze and asked at the right time: "Master, what's wrong with me?"

"Ah, Mr. Li, I think that reinforcements can easily approach Xuanhu, probably because the enemy did it on purpose."

"The so do the officials think."
