In the afternoon, in the camp on the Rushui River, under heavy guard by the imperial guards, Yuwen Weicheng was watching eunuchs catching fish by the river. Several boys followed each other, following each other. Yuchi Chifan stood not far away, a little absent-minded.

She and her son came here with the army. The downstream was Xuanhu City several miles away. Although no one told her directly whether the traitor in Xuanhu City was accusing King Zhu or the King Zhu himself, she was not a fool and could guess the truth.

Her husband Yu Wenwen (who was named King Zhu), was in Xuanhu City.

And her uncle was commanding the army to siege the city.

There were more than 100,000 government troops. No matter how tenacious the Xuanhu defender was, there were no reinforcements outside. If he continued to waste this, the food would be gone. The day the city would be destroyed, and the day the city would be destroyed, her husband would die.

When he thought of this, Yuchi Chifan felt his heart was like a knife, and tears couldn't stop coming out, but he was afraid that his son would see it, so he could only cry alone in the absence of anyone or in the quiet night.

Her marriage to Yuwen Wen was the result of the marriage between Yuchi and Yuwen. When the two families broke up, everything was irreversible. No matter which side of victory, a close relative would be killed, which was endless sorrow for her.

She has not told her son about such a cruel fact until now, because she has no way to start and can't say it.

It is unexplainable why Aye can never come back; it is unexplainable why his younger brother and sister are gone; it is unexplainable that many things are unexplained.

Only when the son grows up will he slowly understand these things.

What will happen in the future? Yuchi Chifan dared not think about it. In the face of family interests, a weak woman has no ability to resist. There have been countless such things throughout the ages.

Yuchi Chifan thought that if Yuwen Wen died, she would never remarry for love, just like when Yuwen Zhou replaced the Western Wei Dynasty, the last emperor Yuankuo was poisoned to death and the queen Yuwen died for love, but she had a son, who was Yuwen Wen's son.

She is dead, what should Jiro do?

So Yuchi Chifan was in a dilemma, but after the dynasty changes, can his son survive?

Which last emperor has been able to have a good end over the past few hundred years?

Regarding this question, her father promised that Yuwen Weicheng would live well. It was this guarantee that she could endure the uneasiness and make up her mind to live with her son.

The Yuchi family is strong, and the Yuwen family will inevitably go to the end, and her husband is afraid that he will not be able to escape the end of death. Therefore, letting Yuwen Weicheng survive and continuing his husband's bloodline is the only thing that Yuchi Chifan, as his wife, can do for Yuwen Wen.

But she didn't want Yuwen Wen to have something to do, so she hoped that the situation would continue to be stalemate. At that time, Yuchi's family was in the east, and she raised Yuwen Wen's eldest son Jilang, so that Jilang could grow up, become an adult, and get married.

Yuwen is in the west, and Yuwen Wen has the second son he gave birth to and has other children to live well together.

However, Yu Wenwen is now in Xuanhu City. Xuanhu is surrounded by the government army, and sooner or later it will be...

Turning to the cruel reality again, Yuchi Chifan only felt his eyes hot, afraid that people would see it, so he took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

At this time, she really wanted to fall into her mother's arms and cry, but her mother still had to comfort her sister who was also depressed. The two sisters are now miserable and miserable, and Wang, who is a mother, was not busy at all.

Thinking of this, Yuchi Chifan looked south, hoping to see the Xuanhu City that could be seen on the other side of the mound through the layers of tents.

The emperor's imperial tent is located in the north of the earth mound. He cannot see the situation around Xuanhu City in the south. On weekdays, the emperor cannot walk through the earth mound to see the situation in the south. This is what the Prime Minister intends. Yuchi Chifan knew that it was to avoid Jilang seeing something that he shouldn't have seen, so he made a decision.

The government army attacked Xuanhu day and night, and the movements would be transmitted to the imperial tent, making Yuchi Chifan, who accompanied Jilang, unable to sleep all night, especially in the early morning last night, the direction of Xuanhu was quite moving, and the Prime Minister left the camp to supervise the battle early this morning, which made Yuchi Chifan feel more and more uneasy.

As the sun rose, the movements in the direction of Xuanhu became louder and louder. Yuchi Chifan listened with fear and found that there was no movement now. I don’t know if the government army attacked Xuanhu or the siege failed again.

"My mother!!! It's a snake!!"

A scream scared Yuchi Chi's face. It was the voice of his son Jilang. As a mother, it was very sensitive, but the voice was not afraid of it and it seemed more like a surprise.

When Yuchi Chifan heard that there was a snake, he thought that his son might be bitten by a snake. He was so nervous that he ran to his son and saw an eunuch who was fishing fish by the river crawling out of a snake in his hand.

The snake was more than one foot long and climbed up to the shore in an instant. The eunuch next to him was so scared that he was at a loss. Yuwen Weicheng and several boys were not afraid, so they picked up the branches and rushed up to catch the snake.

These boys have been with Yuwen Weicheng in the Xiyang Palace. With the young man, they followed the man to catch the snake with the man, and could tell what is a poisonous snake and what is a non-venomous snake.

The little guys caught the snake with their own hands and plucked up the courage to play with it, so they were not as afraid of snakes as other children. Now they saw a non-venomous snake crawling over, and they were extremely happy.

They were happy. The guards who were guarding each other changed their faces so much that they quickly stepped forward and picked up the emperor. Several guards swept around with sticks, tossed for a while, and pressed the snake to the ground with the stick.

Yuchi Chifan took his son and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his son was not bitten. Yuwen Weicheng was depressed for a long time, and finally saw something fun, he started to act coquettishly at his mother: "My mother, I want to play with snakes..."

"No! It's too dangerous!"

"oh..."

Yuchi Chifan was a little angry. When he was still in Xiyang, Yuwen Wen, the Aye man, actually took his son to catch snakes. When she found out, she was so angry that she would cry out loud, afraid of an accident.

But now her son is looking at her with awesome eyes, she is not too fierce.

Several guards used wooden sticks to slap the snake out. It was not that troublesome, and they cut it into pieces with a knife on the spot. However, this move was a bit inappropriate in front of the young emperor, so they were so polite.

The snake twisted its body and formed a ring, which looked like it was connected to the head and tail. When he saw Ah Niang's angry and a little nervous, he showed it like offering treasures: "Ah Niang, this is the snake Ah Ye said!"

"What... snake?"

Yuchi Chifan didn't like snakes, or was afraid of snakes, so he didn't want to see snakes. But his son looked at her with a gaze and couldn't bear to pour cold water, so he asked questions.

"Well, what Aye said is connected by the beginning and end, called the 'Snake of Changshan'!"

......

On the eastern suburbs of Xuanhu City, on the mound, Prime Minister Yuchi Dun stood under the cool umbrella, Huanglong soldiers guarded the left and right, and several generals in front of him were accusing him of guilt. This time, the enemy cavalry used the help of the earth mountain to rush out of the city. Not only did the official soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but even the Prime Minister who was watching the battle on the spot was almost killed by the other party.

The enemy army actually rushed to the prime minister, only twenty steps away!

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Everything will happen on the battlefield. When I come to the battlefield in person, I have already put life and death aside. What's the point of harassing mere traitors?" Yuchi Dun looked into the distance and said lightly.

"But I have always had clear rewards and punishments for governing the army. Those who have made meritorious service in this battle should be rewarded, and those who have neglected their duties should be punished by military law."

"The last general receives the order!" Several generals replied loudly, and then saluted again: "The last general and others are incompetent, which scares the Prime Minister. Thanks to the Prime Minister, he will not punish the last general and others. The last general is willing to commit crimes and make meritorious contributions!"

"It is done with practical actions, not with mouths."

"I will understand!"

"Before sunset, report the casualties."

"The last general will receive the order!"

Although Yuchi Dun was talking to the generals, his eyes were always looking at Xuanhu City ahead and the earthen mountain in the northeast corner of the city. In the early morning, the Anzhou cavalry rushed out of the city along the earthen mountain and rushed to him.

And he was just a little short of shooting the enemy commander Yu Wen Wen to death!

Twenty steps were so close that the little bastard actually avoided!

When he thought of this, Yuchi Dun was very upset. If he had really shot Yuwen Wen to death just now, it would have been enough to cause chaos in the Anzhou army's morale, and Xuanhu City could be reduced to a near future. Now...

Before the reinforcements arrived, the Anzhou cavalry retreated to Xuanhu cleanly through the Tushan Mountain and took away the soldiers who were injured in the fallen horse. When the official cavalry chased after him, a large number of crossbowmen were sent out in the city, and the spearmen were unearthed to the mountain to respond, so the official cavalry failed to achieve any results.

On the contrary, the ground was covered with corpses everywhere outside the city. Although the specific casualties statistics have not yet been released, Yuchi Dun can already confirm that there were heavy casualties this time, and the siege failed again.

At this moment, many soldiers, young and strong, were cleaning up the battlefield, restraining the remains of the dead, and recycling the burned war equipment. This battle was awful. If you want to reorganize the siege equipment, it would probably take several days.

Yuchi Dun looked at the desolate look and sighed. Although victory and defeat were common in military affairs, no one liked to taste the taste of failure. He looked at the general in front of him and asked, "Tell me, what should I do next?"

"When the Prime Minister, the most important thing is to treat the wounded, and then beware of the enemy's sneak attack tonight!"

Yuchi Dun nodded when he heard this. This made sense. The enemy indeed had a high chance of sneak attacking out of the city tonight. He asked again: "Since that's the case, what are the solutions?"

"Prime Minister, please rest assured. Our army camps are divided into four major villages in the east, south, west and north. There are also long trenches, which are connected together. Just like a snake in Changshan, they look at each other at the head and tail, surrounding Xuanhu tightly. The enemy dares to attack at night. No matter where the attack is, they will be attacked by reinforcements from both sides!"

......

"Night attack? The enemy will be cautious tonight. If Yang Envoy leads troops to attack at night, wouldn't he fall into the trap?"

"King, have you heard that the military strategy says is 'fair and false'?"

"sit."

"Thank you, King."

In the small courtyard next to the kitchen, Yu Wenwen, who had just washed away all the stains, wore a crotch, sat on the Hu bed with a disheveled hair and wiped his hair with a hand towel, and talked to Yang Su, who was also sitting on the Hu bed.

The kitchen was crowded with people. The soldiers who went out of the city to kill the enemy and returned triumphantly lined up to take a hot bath and asked the military doctor to clean the wounds.

Yuwen Wen led his troops out of the city today and was almost shot to death by the enemy commander Yuchi Dun, but he almost shot Yuchi Dun to death or injure, almost turning the situation around the world in an instant.

But this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was fleeting, and Yuwen Wen felt a little dazed for a moment.

After he returned to the city, he had just explained the relevant matters and took a hot bath. Yang Su asked for a visit outside and asked him for a fight and said that he would lead his troops out of the city tonight to attack the enemy.

Today, the two armies are in a fierce battle. If it is normal, they should rest and recuperate in the camp (city) that night. Especially for the siege who suffer heavy casualties, they should lick the wounds well. Therefore, the defenders left the city and attacked at night. It should have miraculous effects.

However, both sides must understand this principle. The other party must be strictly guarded. Then Yang Su took the initiative to ask for battle and go out of the city to launch a night attack, which may lead to a bloody blow and lose his troops in vain.

Yang Su was confident about Yuwen Wen's questions. Over the past period of time, after careful observation and thinking, he found that Yuwen Wen's style of using troops was not very conservative and willing to take risks, so he would be confident of convincing the other party.

Vaguely returned to more than ten years ago, facing the young King Yuwen Xian of Qi, he expressed his opinions, took the initiative to seek war, and charged in the battle.

Yang Su was once the recording room of King Yuwen Hu of Jin, and later became a general under King Yuwen Xian of Qi, and participated in the battle against Qi. With his numerous military achievements, he won the title of Duke of the county. Now he started over and belonged to the command of the Yuwen family vassal king. It was a bit sad.

"I'll ask, who are the main soldiers who leave the city at night?"

"Return to the king, the following officials will be the main force of surrendering troops in Yuzhou?"

"But it takes more than two months, can it be fought?"

"King, Han Xin defeated Zhao Zhi's back to the waters. The new recruits used only three months of training. The subordinates were not talented and dared not compare with Han Xin. However, the surrendered soldiers in Yuzhou were originally war soldiers, and they could fight for more than two months."

"So, are these soldiers blindfolded?"

"The king, the lower officials select those who are blindfolded out of the city to fight, but they still need the king to mobilize troops to assist..."

"Assist? The enemy's army besieged the city, divided into four camps in the east, south, west and north. There are also Changxiang, and Changtu is connected to it. The surrounding Xuanhu is blocked. Our army attacks at night and attacks one of them. Other places come to rescue them. This is the situation of the "Snake in Changshan" mentioned in the military art. How should the envoy Yang break it?"

The snake in Changshan is a snake that can be looked at each other in legend. "The Art of War" says: Therefore, those who are good at using war are like "straight". Those who are straightforward are the snake in Changshan. If they hit their heads, they will be the snake in Changshan.

When the tail reaches, hit the tail, the head will come, and when the head and tail will come.

Generally speaking, the formation that can look at each other from beginning to end has the power of Changshan snake. The one-character long snake formation that is often mentioned in storytelling is one of them. At this time, the enemy surrounding Xuanhu also formed such a formation.

Yuwen Wen asked a few questions, and Yang Su answered them one by one. Of course, the most important thing about how to defeat the enemy is "so, so, so, so." The two talked for a long time, and Yuwen Wen was persuaded by the other party.

Yang Su retired and met Wang Jun, the royal family member who was waiting outside the door when he was out of the hospital. The two nodded to each other and went out and went in. Wang Jun came to Yuwen Wen, saluted and said, "Master, I will offer my advice."

"What's the trick?"
