Chapter 595 Difficulties

There are currently 20,000 people stationed at Yanhuishan Camp.

In addition to the 20,000 elite cavalry led by Yu Shizhong and Deng Bao, there were also 10,000 heavy infantry led by Wang Qi.

In addition, there are 10,000 captives working as coolies here.

The permanent camp in Yanhui Mountain is already in shape.

The training ground, general ordering platform, granary, stables, etc. have all been basically completed.

But this is not just the credit of those prisoners. Yu Shizhong and the Royal Equipment Division who were stationed here previously also contributed their efforts in addition to normal training.

"Where's the military quarters?"

Yun Zheng turned around and asked Yu Shizhong who was following him.

"This one……"

Speaking of the military building, Yu Shizhong immediately smiled awkwardly, "The military building has not been moved yet, I am really too busy..."

Yun Zheng knew Yu Shizhong's plan as soon as he heard it.

After the cold winter arrives, people may have no place to live, but horses must have a place to live.

People, even if winter comes, you can still avoid the wind and snow by hiding in a tent.

Although they obtained a lot of war horses from Beihuan, the Beifu army still lacked war horses.

They are still very precious to these war horses.

"Do the soldiers in the camp have any complaints?"

Yun Zheng asked next.

"No."

Yu Shizhong shook his head and smiled, "Everyone knows that war horses are precious, so we must give priority to ensuring that the war horses do not freeze."

In fact, if there hadn't been another war and everyone had worked harder, there would have been a chance to build the military buildings before the cold winter came.

But there is a war now, and the construction of military buildings can only be postponed.

However, they don't have to worry.

When winter comes, they will have time to build military buildings, but it will be much more difficult.

Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked around, then asked: "Is there any news from General Dugu?"

"Have."

Yu Shizhong nodded and said: "General Dugu has already met up with the people and horses. According to their marching speed, it will take another five or six days to reach the predetermined position."

The people and horses along the way were also carrying food, grass and supplies, and the marching speed was not much faster.

"That's good."

Yunzheng nodded slightly, "How is the situation in the Muma Grassland?"

"There is no problem at the moment." Yu Shizhong replied: "Those who moved from Beihuan are quite peaceful and have not caused any trouble! The general has ordered them to collect fodder a few days ago, and they can support the ministries at any time..."

Muma Grassland is the largest settlement area for people who migrated from Beihuan.

There are nearly 20,000 people who migrated from Beihuan here, plus a small number of people from Zhenhe and Mongolian tribes.

In addition, there is a reserve army of three thousand Daqian.

In addition to patrolling around the Muma grassland to prevent these people from causing trouble, the reserve army also has to carry out grazing.

When necessary, they can mobilize cattle and sheep from the Muma Grassland at any time and send them to the front line to serve as military rations.

"good."

Yun Zheng glanced at Yu Shizhong with satisfaction, "Let's go to the meeting hall! You and Wang Qi have been stationed here for such a long time, and I also want to hear your opinions on this battle."

Since the enemy had made moves, Yun Zheng did not believe that Yu Shizhong and the others had not conducted corresponding deductions.

Under the leadership of Yu Shizhong, the group quickly arrived at the meeting hall.

In the middle of the meeting hall, a huge map hangs.

In the middle of the meeting hall, there is a large sand table.

From the sand table, you can clearly see the terrain of most places in Shuobei, Beimotuo, Quanrong and Beihuan.

But for the terrain of Qiuchi, Guifang and Dayue Kingdom, we only have a rough look.

That's all they could get by sending people to sneak into the enemy's territory to investigate.

In the past, they knew less about the terrain of these three countries.

At that time, their main enemy was Beihuan. Who the hell cared about Qiu Chi and Dayue Kingdom?

As soon as everyone came in, they gathered around the sand table.

Yu Shizhong didn't hesitate. He pointed at the sand table with a stick and started talking.

Both Yu Shizhong and Wang Qi selected about 500 people from their respective troops to form a powerful elite force.

These are the people they sent to sneak into the territory of the Three Kingdoms to gather information and examine the terrain of the enemy countries.

The commotion between Qiu Chi and Dayue Kingdom was quite big.

It's completely a desperate attitude.

A few days ago, the two countries even launched exploratory attacks, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small.

They don't know the specific casualties.

Most likely there were no casualties.

The judgments of Yu Shizhong and Yun Zheng are highly consistent.

Qiu Chi and Da Yue Kingdom were indeed acting, but they were not trying to concentrate their forces to take the initiative, but to create the illusion that the two countries were at war, thereby attracting Da Qian to take the initiative to send troops.

The area west of Beimatuo is basically a plateau area.

The intersection between Qiuchi and Beimuotuo is also dotted with high mountains.

If Daqian wants to invade Qiuchi, it can almost be said that there are only two ways to go.

One is the Sole River Plain near the border between Dayue Kingdom and Qiuchi.

The Sole River was originally an open area formed by the erosion of the ancient Sole River. Its terrain was relatively flat and suitable for large-scale cavalry raids and deployments. However, the terrain on both sides gradually became steeper, so it was also a good place to set up an ambush.

The other way is Tianqiong Pass.

But Qiu Chi built Tianqiong Pass at the Tianqiong Pass. Although Tianqiong Pass is not as majestic as Beilu Pass, it can still be regarded as a majestic pass. Even if the Beifu army has strong troops and horses, it will not be easy to capture Tianqiong Pass.

Therefore, Yu Shizhong judged that Qiuchi and Dayue Kingdom wanted to introduce Daqian's army into the Sole Valley.

Once Dagan's army entered the Sole River Plain, Qiu Chi and Dayue Kingdom's troops quickly blocked the other side of the river, while Guifang quickly sent troops from Quanrong to block the other side of the river.

In this way, the Beifu Army was attacked from both sides.

What Yu Shizhong thought was that if they wanted to take the initiative to attack, they would definitely attack through the Sole River, but they must send a large number of troops to keep an eye on the ghost side to prevent the ghost side from sending troops from Quanrong to block the retreat of the attacking troops.

But Yu Shizhong also had concerns.

He was still worried about Bei Huan.

Once both of their armies press forward, Beihuan is likely to take the opportunity to sneak attack their rear.

If Beihuan succeeds, their food route will be cut off.

In this way, the best result for them is to withdraw in despair after consuming a lot of food.

If the situation is worse, the Beifu Army will suffer huge losses, even to the point of being injured.

These days, Yu Shizhong and Wang Qi have discussed more than once that they should give up marching from Sole River and attack Tianqiong Pass instead. As long as Tianqiong Pass is broken, Qiuchi will completely open the door to them.

But the two discussed it countless times, but they didn't think of a good way to break through the Tianqiong Pass.

There seems to be no other way but to attack by force.

But even if they stormed Tianqiong Pass, they would suffer heavy casualties even if they succeeded.

So, after going around and around, we finally reached the Sole River Plain.

Listening to Yu Shizhong's analysis, everyone couldn't help but nod.

Yu Shizhong's analysis makes sense.

No matter which route they choose and take the initiative to attack, it will definitely be disadvantageous for the Beifu Army.

"Brother Xian, where do you think we should attack from?"

At this time, Qin Qihu couldn't help but ask Yun Zheng.
