Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 311 Why is Wei Yuan the contemporary military saint and ever-victorious general?
The entire Yong'an City was flooded.

Lin Zhaoyuan took advantage of the water force to attack the city and recaptured Yongan in just one day.

Most of the Liao army generals fled or died, and the army was completely defeated.

Among them, Xiao Yan's death was the most aggrieved and pathetic. On the day the city was broken, he was angered to death by Wei Yuan.

Before his death, he cursed Wei Yuan, saying that one day he would be branded as disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust and would be infamous for thousands of years.

After Yong'an was recovered, Lin Zhaoyuan's army rested for only one day before marching towards Tangyi again.

At this moment, in Xiangzhou City.

When Yelu Renxian learned that Wei Yuan had sent three envoys to deceive Xiao Yan, he did not get angry, but belittled Wei Yuan's conspiracy in front of many Liao army generals.

"Only a child would play such a trick!"

In terms of age or qualifications, isn't Wei Yuan just a child in front of him?
Yelu Guozhen was furious and said, "I will tear Wei Yuan into pieces!"

The relationship between him and Xiao Yan is well known.

"General, now that Yong'an has been lost and Tangyi is in danger, Wei Yuan is obviously planning to besiege our army in Xiangzhou."

"I wonder how our army can defeat the enemy at this moment?"

Some Liao generals assessed the situation and suspected that Wei Yuan was planning a big plan.

After this game is over, the entire Xiangzhou will face the danger of being besieged on all sides.

In fact, Yelu Renxian had thought of his guess a long time ago, but it was just as Wei Yuan thought.

Xiangzhou's geographical location is so special that Yelu Renxian was unwilling to give up Xiangzhou at all.

Therefore, no matter what, the battle in Xiangzhou must be fought.

At present, the total number of troops under Yelu Renxian's command is only about 230,000.

If we send troops to station around Xiangzhou, they will be defeated one by one by Wei Yuan.

In other words, Yelu Renxian could do nothing but watch the towns around Xiangzhou fall.

"Wei Yuan tried to annihilate our army in Xiangzhou. He is really a young man who is not afraid of tigers. His military skills are much better than those of his teacher Zhang Fu."

"Yong'an and Tangyi, give them all to him. Doesn't he want to attack Xiangzhou? Then let him do it! I want to see how brave he is to dare to fight a decisive battle with our army in Xiangzhou!"

As soon as he finished speaking, scouts came in and said that 300,000 troops from Daming Prefecture were heading towards Tangyin.

After hearing this news, almost everyone was certain that Wei Yuan was really going to fight a big battle in Xiangzhou.

"The Daming Prefecture is short of troops now, maybe we can let General Yelu Xinxian take Daming Prefecture first?"

"Yes, as long as Daming Mansion is taken, then even Wei Yuan will be helpless!"

"Daming Prefecture has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. As long as our army occupies this city, the guards will have no time to spare."

"."

Once Damingfu was captured by the Liao army, Bianjing would always be in a state of being undefended.

Once Wei Yuan returns to Daming Prefecture for support, Yelu Renxian's army can also make adjustments at any time and win a crucial breathing space.

Therefore, when everyone learned that Wei Yuan had transferred troops from Daming Prefecture, almost everyone believed that he had made a stupid move.

But Yelu Renxian disagreed. "Daming Prefecture is in a rugged terrain with mountains all around. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Wei Yuan has left 100,000 soldiers in Daming Prefecture, which is enough to resist Xinxian's attack."

"With 100,000 people guarding Daming Prefecture, even if we can't hold it in the end, we can still hold it for a few months, right? After a few months, I'm afraid we will have already decided the outcome with Wei Yuan."

Hearing this, the Liao generals became even more melancholy.

It’s not right to fight, and it’s not right not to fight, so what should I do?
"The three towns of Cizhou, Handan, and Wu'an must be defended no matter what!"

"If we lose the battle of Xiangzhou, our army can resist step by step with the help of important cities such as Handan."

After a brief thought, Yelu Renxian believed that the key to the battle of Xiangzhou was not in Xiangzhou, but in the rear of Xiangzhou.

"If I were Wei Yuan, I would have already sent troops to attack Handan and other places."

"At this time, Wei Yuan has an army of more than 600,000. It seems that he has a large number of soldiers and generals, but in fact, he does not have many elite soldiers." "If he divides his troops to attack Handan and other places, then he will have no chance of conquering Xiangzhou."

"If our army holds Xiangzhou for half a year, the Zhou Kingdom will have no choice but to make peace with our army due to the stalemate between the two countries' national strength!"

When Yelu Renxian said this, many Liao army generals looked a little dim.

Before Wei Yuan took command, their plan was to capture Bian Jing and march south to capture the dragon.

But after Wei Yuan took command, Yelu Renxian, who was like an undefeated god of war in their hearts, could only deal with the Zhou army as much as possible in order to gain more say at the negotiating table.

In other words, from the moment Wei Yuan led the troops, Yelu Renxian's plan to go south to capture the dragon was officially declared shattered.

But there are still many generals who are unwilling to believe this.

"General, there is one thing I don't understand. People say that Wei Yuan is an ever-victorious general, feared by the world."

"But all in all, the only battles Wei Yuan participated in were the Battle of Yanmen and Daizhou. Ordinary border conflicts happen from time to time, so this doesn't count as a military achievement, right?"

Some Liao generals were puzzled.

As soon as he finished speaking, more and more Liao army generals expressed their confusion.

"Yes, Wei Yuan didn't fight many battles. People say he was brave, and we all agree. But they say he was a modern military saint and an ever-victorious general. I really don't understand why Marquis Guanjun is still alive."

"In the battles of Yanmen and Daizhou, he was not the real leader. Even if someone was to become famous, it should have been his teacher Zhang Fu."

"Is it just a lie? But I always feel that Wei Yuan should be an ever-victorious general. It's quite strange."

"."

Seriously speaking, Wei Yuan had never led a large-scale army or launched a large-scale battle.

How did his reputation spread?

When the Battle of Bianjing came, Wei Yuan led a tired army, which frightened many of his colleagues.

Why?

Yelu Renxian looked at everyone one by one, "Do you all have this doubt?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Yelu Renxian said at length: "Since this is the case, I will tell you that knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. This move will not be regarded as boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige."

“Although the only major battles that Wei Yuan participated in were the Battle of Yanmen and the Battle of Daizhou, both of these battles can be regarded as national wars.”

"In the Battle of Yanmen, Wei Yuan relied on only a few thousand soldiers to make it difficult for our army to advance, and in the end, we returned empty-handed."

"In the Battle of Daizhou, although Wei Yuan did not command any major battles, he played a crucial role in the overall situation."

"Afterwards, Wei Yuan wrote two military training methods, which can be regarded as the culmination of ancient military training methods."

"You usually think that the one who can use military tactics to march and deploy troops is a commander. In fact, when two armies clash, what they are competing for is national strength."

"Strategies in the art of war cannot increase national strength, but training in military tactics can. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Central Plains, all countries were able to dominate because they had a strong army."

"For example, Wei Wuzu, Hufu Qishe, etc., it can be seen that only by training a good army can one truly achieve victory in every battle, and Wei Yuan's training method is unfathomable."

"In addition, he also carried out a certain degree of military reform in Yanbian, which borders Xixia, to unite the scattered armies and prevent the Xixia army from making any progress to this day."

"Brave, wise, well-trained, and reformed military system, when all these things are present in one person, isn't this person worthy of being called a modern military saint and an ever-victorious general?"

After hearing what Yelu Renxian said, all the Liao army soldiers lowered their heads, and many of them secretly cursed Wei Yuan as a monster.

Yelu Renxian saw that after hearing what he had said, they were afraid of Wei Yuan again. He paused, smiled at them and said:

"Of course, this so-called contemporary military saint and ever-victorious general is a title given to him by the Zhou people. I do not recognize it."

"In my eyes, Wei Yuan is no different from a rookie."

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved and smiled with relief.

Yelu Renxian also laughed with them, but his smile seemed somewhat forced.

In his mind, given time, Wei Yuan will become a military saint!
