"The second is to retreat directly into the city, defend the city gates, and wait for reinforcements."

"But we are short of food and fodder. The border town is full of old people, women and children. There is simply not enough food and fodder!"

For many years, the border of Mobei State has been unfavorable for grazing and there is no good farmland. In the past, the country relied on supplies sent from other cities. The people in the border towns could no longer bear such a life, and those who could escape had already fled.

Now that all the food and supplies have been killed, there is very little left. With so many people, the remaining food plus the food in the city can probably only last for two or three days at most. If the reinforcements cannot arrive, they will be trapped and die in the city.

"The two choices are nothing more than death today or death tomorrow." Even though Lana is full of passion and unwilling to retreat, reality only gives them these two choices.

Finally, after discussion among several deputy generals, they unanimously decided: I would rather die standing than live on my knees!

One word: fight!

……

The Yue Kingdom's army was rushing towards the border of the Mobei Kingdom at the fastest speed. The generals behind them were holding torches and advancing in an orderly manner.

Fang Xuren rode his horse beside Shen Yu, "General, what choice do you think they will make now?"

Shen Yu pondered for a moment. Most people in Mobei are unruly and unyielding. They have the blood of non-submission in their bones. "I'm afraid there will be a tough battle later."

"General, what you mean is... that the Mobei Kingdom will be prepared to meet the enemy?" Fang Xuren did not expect that after so many things, the Mobei Kingdom should retreat into the city, recuperate and wait for reinforcements.

The plan was made in a hurry, and only Deputy General Wang was told what he needed to do. The rest was for them to fight the enemy according to their daily training.

It just so happens that Shen Yu has time now, so he can explain the trick to Fang Xuren.

"Our Yue Kingdom and Mobei Kingdom have been in a stalemate for decades, and neither side has gained anything. Mobei Kingdom is already short of resources, so their ambitions are naturally not limited to Yue Kingdom."

Fang Xuren understood immediately, "General, do you mean Yunsheng Kingdom?"

Among the four countries, Yunsheng, Mobei and Yueguo are not much different in strength, while Zhongjin has a superior geographical location and abundant resources, and has always been the leader of the four countries. If Mobei attacks Zhongjin, it will be completely overestimating its own strength and asking for trouble. In the end, it will probably lead to its own destruction.

In this case, only Yunsheng Kingdom is left.

"That's right. Yunsheng Country's products are no worse than our Yue Country's. Every year at this time, a large number of their mushrooms mature. If we can seize this opportunity to capture a city in Yunsheng, we'll probably reap a lot."

Shen Yu analyzed them one by one, "A few days ago, I received a tip-off that the Mobei Kingdom sent a hundred thousand troops to attack the border of Yunsheng."

"Yun Sheng and our Yue Kingdom are located to the west and east, two completely opposite directions," Fang Xuren had already guessed. "Even if these generals of Mobei retreated to a certain point, with their food and fodder running low, they wouldn't be able to wait for reinforcements from the far west."

"That's right!"

"Since they can't wait for reinforcements, they will die unless they surrender. In this case, they might as well fight hard and maybe there will be a chance of survival."

Fang Xuren analyzed the situation for a moment, then thought again, a glimmer in his eyes. "No, the food and supplies were burned. They must have spent a lot of time and energy putting out the fire. I think they are exhausted by now. I guess they don't have the strength to fight anymore."

This is still a dead end.

"You're right." Shen Yu glanced at him, and seeing that Fang Xuren understood everything, he stopped explaining.

Fang Xuren knew that most of the prerequisites for this attack were proposed by Xu Zhao.

It was she who told them the time for the guard replacement at the Mobei military camp, and it was she who proposed setting fire to the food supplies. Every step of the plan was closely connected.

Even taking into account the fact that Mobei Kingdom did not have enough troops to support, Fang Xuren secretly clapped his hands in his heart.

"Miss Xu is truly a goddess. I shouldn't have killed her by mistake when we first met." Fang Xuren said, shaking his head in regret.

He already knew that as long as Xu Zhao died, she would disappear, and it was unknown when she would come back next time.

If she had not been killed as a spy the first time, with Miss Xu's intelligence, the confrontation between Yue Kingdom and Mobei Kingdom could have ended ten years ago.

Shen Yu: "..."

Don't bother him with this matter anymore!

Shen Yu glanced at Fang Xuren and threatened, "If you mention this matter again, the toilet in this barracks will be handed over to you."

Whenever someone brought up this matter, Shen Yu felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles, causing a dull pain. There were not so many ifs. If possible, he also wished that he had not given Xu Zhao such a sword.

Unfortunately, both of them were wrong about this matter.

If there had been no subsequent contact, Xu Zhao would not have looked up the relevant history about Shen Yu, then she would not have known that Chatur of Mobei Kingdom lost his life because of a few red carps, and the surrender of Mobei Kingdom would not have been so smooth.

It was simply because Xu Zhao was not there, otherwise she would have clarified to these two people that she was not as powerful as they imagined, she just took advantage of the right time.

"I shut up!" Fang Xuren knew the situation and was able to bend and stretch.

The toilet was dirty and smelly. How could he, a deputy general, do such dirty work?

Fang Xuren shrank his neck in disappointment and didn't dare to say anything more.

The army marched slowly and it took them an entire hour to reach the valley in front of the Mobei military camp.

After walking for a long time, even the horses were tired. Shen Yu ordered everyone to rest on the spot, and ordered a small team to climb up the valley to observe the situation in the Mobei military camp from a high position.

After about two quarters of an hour, the team returned to the front of the group and said, "General, there is thick smoke and faint flames in the Mobei army camp."

"It seems that the fire in Mobei is about to be extinguished."

From the time Deputy General Wang set the fire to the time they arrived here, the fire had burned for a long time. Now the flames could still be seen from such a distance. It seemed that this fire really brought a devastating blow to the soldiers of Mobei.

"General, are you going to beat the drum for the attack?"

Several deputy generals rode their horses around Shen Yu, waiting for his order, and then tens of thousands of soldiers behind him would take up their weapons and attack the Mobei military camp.

Shen Yu was at the city gate for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer until the fire is out. Let our soldiers rest for a while."

He added, "Keep watching. If the fire dies down, come back and report."

"Great, really great!" Deputy General Wang on the side was very excited. He was the one who caused all this. "I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort for them to put out this fire."

"This is all thanks to Brother Wang!"

"No, no, it's just my job."

Taking advantage of this last bit of time to tease each other, several deputy generals livened up the atmosphere.
