Chapter 11 Seek help from the enemy
Zhang Zhentian and six others were divided into three groups overnight, each going in three different directions. By dawn, Jiang Dongfang and Su Wanyue had arrived in the west of Yanzhou City, while Fang Kun and Su Tianxing hid on the hills where Zhang Zhentian and Yao Xiu had been there last night.
At the same time, Zhang Zhentian and Yao Xiu are also eager to move forward. When the two of them were on the sun, they finally caught up with the grain transportation team. This grain transport team set out from Yanzhou and planned to go to northern Xinjiang, but they did not send grain to the Baiyue army, but to support the Jingyue army stationed in the northeast of Yanzhou.
Outside the grain transportation team station, the soldiers guarding the barracks stopped Zhang Zhentian and Yao Xiu, "Who are you?"
"We are from Yanzhou!" Yao Xiu said, and she reached out to take a token from her waist and shook it in front of the soldier, " Take me to see your general."
"Yes..." The soldier looked at the token, and he quickly bowed his head. But before he finished saying "yes", Yao Xiu shouted the soldier's words, "Less words, lead the way quickly!"
The soldier guarding the camp gate is not stupid, and he is also a clever man. Seeing Yao Xiu's behavior, he knew that Yao Xiu did not want to let more people know her identity. He nodded quickly and then led Yao Xiu and Zhang Zhentian into the barracks.
In the barracks, some of the people responsible for transporting grain and grass have been on the road, and some are still resting. After all, the size of the grain transportation team is not small, and they can't go on the road at the same time. The soldiers responsible for guarding the grain transportation team also followed behind the grain truck in twos and threes.
Outside the Chinese army's tent, the soldier guarding the door pointed to the tent, "Miss, this is General Yu's tent."
"Good! Go and help me with it!" After Yao Xiu finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Zhang Zhentian again, "Brother Zhang, wait for me here. I'll go in first. I'll call you later, and you can go!" Zhang Zhentian listened to Yao Xiu's words and nodded repeatedly. A few times, the soldiers came out of the tent, "Miss, General Yan, please!"
Yao Xiu listened to the soldiers' words and entered the tent. General Yanyun, who was responsible for escorting grain and grass, saw Yao Xiu coming in. He quickly got up and said, "Chasing Princess Yun, the general will be polite. Why did you come in person?"
"Exit!" Yao Xiu waved his hand casually, "I'm here to ask you to send troops to rescue Yanzhou!" She spoke politely, but she was not polite at all. As soon as Yao Xiu finished speaking, she sat directly on the main seat in the tent, "Uncle, I still ask you for something! When that man comes in, just call my lady or niece, don't call me princess.
Yes! The last general will obey." Yuyuan listened and answered quickly. In the original world, the daughter of the monarch is called a princess, and the daughter of the prince is called a princess. This is somewhat similar to the title of the Han people on earth after the Jin Dynasty, but it is not exactly the same.
"That's good! Uncle, please call him in!" After Yao Xiu finished speaking, she got up from the main seat and cleverly ran to one side of the seat. It turns out that this naughty girl doesn't know the rules at all.
Yuyuan sat back to the main seat of the tent, and then he thought about the soldiers in the tent waved, "Go! Invite the people outside the tent in." Hearing this, the soldiers quickly called Zhang Zhentian in.
"Dongyi people, Zhang Zhentian, see General Yan!" Zhang Zhentian walked into the tent and quickly saluted Yuyuan respectfully. Zhang Zhentian has not been to the original world for a day and a half. He is also proficient in a lot of vulgar etiquette here.
"Exit!" Yuyuan waved his hand and said, "Sit down! Mr. Zhang, you and my... My niece came here. I heard that it was to borrow troops to save Yanzhou. What on earth is this?
"Oh! General Yu. That's it..." Zhang Zhentian told Shanyuan in detail about the discovery of the orc army and the suspicion that there was a traitor in Yanzhou City.
After listening to this, he looked at Zhang Zhentian and then at Yao Xiu, "Niece, is this true?"
"Yes! Uncle." Yao Xiu replied without hesitation, "We saw it with our own eyes last night. Those orc troops have crossed the eight slopes, and I'm afraid they will attack Yanzhou in the future.
"So..." Yuyuan pondered for a moment after listening, and then he looked at Zhang Zhentian and Yao Xiu, "I only have a total of 3,000 soldiers in my hand now, and these grains are urgently used in front of me. I can't ignore the food and grass and send all the soldiers to you to intercept the orcs' army. Speaking of this, Yuyuan looked at Zhang Zhentian again, "Mr. Zhang, what can you do to defeat the enemy?"
"There is no way to defeat the enemy!" Zhang Zhentian answered truthfully, "However, I have a way to prevent the enemy from moving forward. Moreover, I don't need General Yu's army to go with me. You just need to lend me 500 soldiers, and I will turn off the road to Yanzhou and wait for reinforcements from other places.
"If so, I will give you a thousand soldiers. Let's go now!" After saying that, he stood up and said, "Let's go to the camp in Huaiyi Country from here. Let's do this!" I will send another letter to the army of Huaiyi and ask them to send some more people to help you.
"If so, thank you so much, General Yu!" Zhang Zhentian quickly got up to thank him.
"Well, it's not too late. Hurry up!" After saying that, he got up and made a gesture to see the guests off. Then, he sent Yao Xiu and Zhang Zhentian out of the tent, "Call Ziyi and Zhou Peihu!" Let them take a thousand soldiers with Mr. Zhang. The soldiers guarding outside the tent listened to Yuyuan's order, and they immediately left the tent to find the two deputy generals of Yuyuan.
On the hill, Fang Kun and Su Tianxing alternately monitored the camp of the orcs not far away. Although the orcs' camp is not far from the hills, the orcs obviously did not find the existence of the two of them. At the same time, the orcs have no intention of launching an attack. However, for a long time, the orc scouts still have to pass under the hills where they are on war horses from time to time.
In the afternoon, Su Tianxing found some food and water from the village and returned to the hill. First, he looked at the orc camp in the distance, and then he stuffed food and water into Fang Kun's hand. "Brother Fang, eat some! I'll watch it for a while."
"Good!" Fang Kun agreed, and then he moved his body aside and gave up the right position to Su Tianxing. "When do you think Mr. Zhang and the others will come back?"
"I don't think it will be long." Su Tianxing replied, "Isn't this orc camp too quiet?"
"It must be because their troops have not yet arrived. When their people arrive, they will naturally attack us." Fang Kun replied while eating, "I have observed that the scouts they sent did go to Yanzhou. However, now that the two countries are fighting, why didn't the defenders of Yanzhou find them?
"It's also! By the way, Brother Fang. I also found one thing. Why do I feel that this orc has been scouted more in the past and returned less? Su Tianxing looked at it for a while, and he turned his eyes to Fang Kun and asked uneasily.
"The past is more, and the return is less?" After listening to Su Tianxing's words, Fang Kun quickly put food and water aside, and then bent down on the hill to look down the path at the mountain. An hour passed, he also made the same discovery as Su Tianxing. In this hour, that is, two hours, about 50 scouts passed in front of them, but less than ten people returned to the orc camp.
"It's not good!" Fang Kun whispered, "These orcs have other camps in front of them. They are slowly moving forward, but we don't know where their camp is.
"Brother Fang, what do you think we two do?" Su Tianxing turned his eyes to Fang Kun.
"That's it! You stay here. I followed their scouts to see where they had gone. After Fang Kun finished speaking, he got up and walked down the hill.
"Brother Fang, be more careful!" Su Tianxing whispered behind him.
In Yanzhou City, Jiang Dongfang and Su Wanyue found a secluded place in the west and north gates respectively. When it was getting late, Su Wanyue rode away from the north gate and rushed to the west gate to meet Jiang Dongfang at the appointed place.
"Dongfang, is there anything wrong with you?" After the two met, Su Wanyue asked Jiang Dongfang in a low voice.
"No!" Jiang Dongfang shook his head and replied, "I've been watching it all day. Not many people leave the city from the west gate today. Even if there are, they are all merchants carrying goods. After saying that, he looked at Su Wanyue again, "Wanyue, where are you?"
"There is nothing unusual!" Su Wanyue replied, "The north gate is very closely guarded. No matter in and out, there are soldiers under close check."
"Is Brother Zhang's judgment wrong?" Jiang Dongfang turned his eyes back to the west gate, where a group of soldiers were also inspecting the people entering the gate.
