The most arrogant in history

Chapter 221 Hot Pot Plan!

"It's okay." Ye Kun had already figured it out and said:

"Yizhou purchased thousands of pulley crossbows from me, but Hanzhong snatched away two or three hundred of them. Of the remaining ones, I estimate that half are still usable at the moment, and they are all in the northwest battlefield of Yizhou, fighting with the Hanzhong army, and they can't come back for the time being."

Shangguan Jifu nodded: "Then how do we attack?"

"Yizhou is now almost defenseless against us. So we have to move fast and advance quickly! By the time Gongsun Zhang reacts, we will have already taken over half of Yizhou's territory."

Ye Kun pointed at the map and said, "I want to divide the troops into three groups. You will lead Jiang Laowu's navy from the water to capture Baidi City, and then continue to move westward. If you encounter fierce resistance, the navy will turn the attack into defense, and the army will move westward to defeat the enemy.

I led the main force of the army across the river to attack and capture Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou is the eastern gate of Yizhou. If we take Jiangzhou, there will be a vast plain of fertile land to the west.

My generals Wu Xuan and Xue Ju, together with Jiaozhou Sima Yu, will send troops from the south to attack together. "

"It's just as I thought!" Shangguan Jifu was very excited and asked again:

"How many troops can you mobilize?"

"After the New Year, we will call up veterans and militiamen in the name of rotation training. Together with the original elite troops, there will be more than 30,000 in total. The defense of Pingye County will be handed over to Yan Liuhai, leaving 1,000 troops behind. Combined with the militias of each village, it will be enough. In addition to the troops left behind, Xue Ju and Wu Xuan still have 4,000 troops that can be mobilized."

Jingzhou has been pacified by Ye Kun and will never take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Therefore, Ye Kun does not need to arrange too many forces to stay behind.

"Great! I will also prepare 30,000 troops!" Shangguan Jifu's face flushed with excitement. He asked again:

"Baidi City is also one of the bridgeheads for attacking Yizhou. It has been in operation for a long time and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Do you have any plan to defeat the enemy?"

Ye Kun chuckled:

"I will arrange fifty death warriors to follow the caravan and sneak into Baidi City. When your army launches a surprise attack, the fifty death warriors will set fire to the city, assassinate officials and officers at all levels, and create chaos. I will also give you a hundred firearms soldiers equipped with thunder bombs, grenades, and bronze cannons. The enemy has never seen our latest weapons, so they will definitely panic and be defeated in one battle!"

Ye Kun has been thinking about how to attack Yizhou for a year and has a very mature idea.

Shangguan Jifu nodded repeatedly: "When will the troops be dispatched?"

"One month to prepare food and fodder, organize weapons, and assemble the troops."

Ye Kun's eyes were firm: "One month later, we will attack from three directions and seize Yizhou. To keep it secret, this operation is codenamed... the Hot Pot Plan!"

"Why is it called the Hot Pot Plan? What is hot pot?" Shangguan Jifu was stunned.

At that time, there was no hot pot in Dading Kingdom.

But after Ye Kun conquered Yizhou, he was able to invent hot pot and enjoy it, so it was called the Hot Pot Plan.

"The Yizhou Plain is like a big pot, surrounded by mountains on all sides. If we take over this big pot, we will have something to eat." Ye Kun explained seriously.

"Okay then, let's cheer up and fight with all our strength. Don't fall into the pot and become someone else's food."

"Fourth brother, can you say something auspicious?" Ye Kun felt annoyed.

The two of them planned for a day and finalized various details.

That night, Wen Axiu went back to her parents' home for dinner, and Ye Kun accompanied her.

Wen Qi was very happy and asked his concubine Shangguan Feiyan to come out and drink with him and entertain him warmly.

Shangguan Feiyan was already five months pregnant at this time, and her belly was slightly bulging.

Ye Kun raised his glass and said with a smile: "Master Taiyue is still as sharp as ever. When you have a baby, Ah Xiu and I will come to congratulate you again."

Wen Axiu was sitting at the same table with Ye Kun and pinched him.

Wen Qi was not embarrassed at all and said with a smile:

"Fei Yan has a younger sister who has grown up and is as beautiful as her elder sister. Lord Ye, I will call her over to show you. If you like her, take her back to Dongba City."

Oh my god, my father-in-law is so nice, he introduced a concubine to me?

But, if I marry Shangguan Feiyan's sister, wouldn't that mean I and Wen Qi will become brothers-in-law?

Call him brother-in-law from now on?

The women of Dading Kingdom are so pitiful.

Wen Qi, this old thief, didn't treat Shangguan Feiyan as a human being, nor did he treat his daughter as a human being.

Otherwise, can you introduce a concubine to your son-in-law in front of your daughter?

Ye Kun almost laughed out loud, looking at Wen Axiu with a squint:

"A Xiu, Lord Taiyue is so kind to me. He thinks of me for all the good things. Tell me, should I take Miss Feiyan's sister back with me?"

Wen Axiu blushed: "This is Lord Ye's business, how dare I say anything?"

"Forget it. Dongba County has been suffering from a spring famine recently and cannot support many people." Ye Kun smiled and said to Wen Qi:

"A Xiu is now my wife, Mrs. Wen, and everyone in Dongba County respects her. I am very satisfied to have A Xiu, and I feel like I have found a treasure. Therefore, Master Taiyue should keep Miss Feiyan's sister for himself."

Wen Qi smiled and said, "Thanks to Lord Ye's compassion, Ah Xiu is where she is today."

"I am also grateful to Ah Xiu for sharing my worries. Lord Taiyue, rest assured that Ah Xiu will be even more successful in the future." Ye Kun raised his glass.

After playing in Tianmen City for three days, Ye Kun returned and stayed in Xiping Mountain for another two days.

Tian Xiao'e is in Xiping Mountain with her father and uncle. Her grandfather, Tian Fugui, died last autumn and was also buried in Xiping Mountain.

Teacher Wen was considerate and asked Ye Kun to spend more time with Tian Xiao'e and Qiao Yun.

Ye Kun took Tian Xiao'e and Qiao Yun to patrol the mountains and asked about their recent lives.

Tian Xiao'e smiled and said, "Brother Kun, we are fine, don't worry. Qiao Yun and I often go to Pingye County to visit Sister Yourong and Jiaojiao, and see their children. They are so cute."

"Don't worry, you will have children in the future..."

Ye Kun touched Xiao'e's head and said, "In the summer, I will move you to a new place, a bigger place."

Xiping Mountain has been under construction and the conditions are good.

But compared with Yizhou, it is far behind.

After conquering Yizhou, Ye Kun and his family will move.

Xiao'e smiled and asked, "Where is the big place? Is it Dongba County?"

"Almost." Ye Kun nodded with a smile.

Two days later, Ye Kun bid farewell to Tian Xiao'e and Qiao Yun, returned to Pingye County, went to Shuangya Mountain to deploy defenses, and then detoured to Fuling County to go to Jigongling Shiquanzhai.

After a round of arrangements, the rotation training for the veterans of Dongba County also began.

This time, 15,000 veterans and 5,000 militiamen were recruited, all of whom were trained in Fuling County.

On the 21st day of the first lunar month, Han Chun, the envoy from Yizhou, came again.

Ye Kun summoned him warmly, welcomed him out the door, held Han Chun's hand, and asked about his well-being.

Sitting down in the inner hall, Ye Kun asked, "How is the situation in the decisive battle between Yizhou and Hanzhong?"

"The situation is at a stalemate, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties..." Han Chun sighed and clasped his fists.

"Lord Gongsun ordered me to deliver the gift, hoping Lord Ye could lend me a helping hand and lend me a group of elite soldiers to defeat the enemy."

"You want to borrow troops from me?"

Ye Kun was surprised and happy!

If Gongsun Zhang asks me to borrow troops, I can take the opportunity to send troops, destroy Guo as a pretext, and take Yizhou in one fell swoop!

Han Chun nodded:

"Yes, our Yizhou army and Hanzhong army are fighting in the Mi Cang Mountain area, consuming each other and it is difficult to tell who will win. If Lord Ye can lend us a group of elite soldiers, we will be able to defeat the enemy quickly. Lord Ye, don't worry about the military pay, we have plenty of money in Yizhou. After the mission is accomplished, there will be a generous reward."

Ye Kun took Han Chun's hand and said with a smile: "Master Han, don't lie to me. Yizhou has a population of one million. Is it really impossible to gather a group of elite soldiers? Do you need to borrow troops from me?"

"Yizhou is a vast area, and of course there are soldiers and horses, but they are all independent and difficult to mobilize. Moreover, they are not very good at fighting, and are far inferior to Lord Ye's elite soldiers and generals."

"In this case, I will discuss this with the generals in the army."

Ye Kun asked Han Chun to go and have a rest, and he sent a pigeon to inform Shangguan Jifu.
