As the two talked about array formations, they practiced in the military arena. An afternoon quickly passed, and An clan member An began explaining and demonstrating the ten array formations to Zhu Yunwen, one after another, each of these array formations could be instantly converted into nine other arrays. Zhu Yunwen was dazzled by what he saw, and apart from the long snake array at the beginning, Zhu Yunwen did not remember any other array formations.

In fact, Zhu Yunwen could not be blamed for being stupid or stupid. Normally, people who were not talented in military matters would find it difficult to record down all of the array formations on a single look, not to mention that these array formations varied greatly, how could they all understand after just looking at them once. After the two had practiced at the military arena for an afternoon, Zhu Yunwen was tired of leaving An Yuezhan's camp to rest. At this moment, Xu Yun Gong and a large group of his personal guards walked over.

As expected, the first thing Xu Yun said was, "Vice Commander-in-Chief An, General An has come to report. Murong Chengyu's troops have already set up camp 30 miles outside the city. I'm afraid they will attack tomorrow morning. What should our army do now?"

"Marshal, there's no need to panic. The soldiers must be exhausted when Murong Chengyu travels far away, so I'm afraid that he won't attack the city today. We'll immediately carry all the necessary items to guard the city and notify all the battalions to prevent Murong Chengyu from attacking the camp at night."

Xu Yun said respectfully, "That's for the best!" With that, the rest of the group also stopped resting and hurried off to make their own preparations. They all thought that Murong Chengyu would lead the army to launch an attack tomorrow in order to quickly attack, but who would have thought that Murong Chengyu would stay still for three days straight?

Since the departure of Hangzhou, Murong Guiyu could be said to have been extremely worried. Murong Guiyu had checked that the entire army's grain supply was only enough for one month at most, and these were all temporarily seized from various places in Zhejiang Province, and the soldiers all wore an exhausted and panicked expression, and the sounds of retreat spread throughout the army before the war even started. Murong Guiyu had killed a few of the soldiers that were discussing privately, wanting to make an example of the situation, but the fear only increased as time went by, so Murong Guiyu immediately convened a battle meeting under Guangde City.

However, after waiting for a few days, no matter how much he mobilized before the battle, or how much he showed mercy to the soldiers, it was all useless. The army was exhausted, and the emotions of all the soldiers could be said to be very low. At this moment, if he sent out his troops, the entire army would definitely collapse in one battle.

At this moment, Murong Guiyu was deep in thought in his own tent, when suddenly, he saw Tu Ou walk in first. Tu Yidao, upon seeing the exhausted look on Murong Guanyu's face, knew that Murong Guiyu was obviously worrying about something unstable, so Murong Kuiyu said, "Third brother, you've come."

Tu Xian asked, "Second brother, are you still worrying about food and morale?"

Murong Chengyu nodded and said, "There are less than twenty days left to the rations. The logistics cannot keep up with them at all, and the unstable morale of the troops is giving me a headache."

Tu Xian said, "Second Brother, there is no need to panic. I do have a plan."

When Murong Chengyu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. "Third brother, please speak."

Tu Xian said, "Now that our army lacks food, and our morale is low, the best way to solve these two problems is to have a victory and quickly replenish the food. However, we have gathered most of the food in Zhejiang, so it will be difficult to count on Master's help to gather it, so I think we have to send out an attack to take their food, and even if we don't come, we have to say that their food is burnt out, which will at least equalize the strength of our two families."

"Oh?" He said, "That makes sense, but how should we snatch their food?"

He pointed at the map and said, "Second brother, look, the Ming army of Guangde City only has enough grain for three months, and Guangde is where the Ming army meets our army, so it's not appropriate to choose this place. However, to the northeast of Guangde City, the distance from Su Zhou City to Guangde is less than two hundred miles, if we move at full speed, we will be able to reach Su Zhou in a day. This Su Province is a small grain depot for Ming army, and the guards are only five thousand people.

It's just that Guangde is not too far away from Su Prefecture, and the roads are rough. If you led your troops in a long journey, and the soldiers reached Su Prefecture, they would be exhausted. At that time, if Long Wei gave up on the grain and grass in the city to send troops to fight with you, you might not have the advantage, not to mention that our army is not far from Su Prefecture, and Su Prefecture is only a hundred miles away from Chang Prefecture.

Tu Xian said, "Second brother, although this plan is dangerous, if our forces can catch them off guard, we will definitely win against Long Weiyuan. In the future, Second brother only need to send troops to aid our brothers, and right now, our troops have insufficient food and resources, so we have no practical means to deal with him, so we might as well put our lives on the line. If we win, our army will have the chance to win a battle, and if we lose, our brothers will at least die in battle."

Murong Chengyu hesitated for a while before asking, "Are you determined to go?"

"This general has made up his mind. I will grant you your wish, Great Marshal Wang!"

Murong Chengyu thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll give you 10,000 cavalry soldiers. Quickly ride a horse and launch a surprise attack on Suzhou City. Remember, even if you can't win, you have to keep your life."

Tu Xian took the order and said, "Don't worry second brother, I will not fail my mission!" With that, he turned around and left with Tu Xian. Murong Wuyu had always felt uneasy, so he called Yang Zong Wang into his tent and ordered him to lead ten thousand soldiers to follow along Tu Xian's route. His speed was slightly slower than Tu Xian's, so if Tu Zong missed, he had to rescue him immediately.
