Chapter 257 Silver Wolf Flag! (Subscribe!)

Looking at the fragrant chicken soup in Ye Tie's hand, Ye Mingsheng, who had been thinking hard for a while, felt hungry. He subconsciously took the chicken soup and white flour steamed bun from Ye Tie's hand and ate them one mouthful at a time.

After filling his stomach, Ye Mingsheng, who had no idea what was going on, asked Ye Tie casually:

"Ye Tie, what do you think of the battle now?"

"I don't have any opinion. Master, if you tell me to go west, I will go west. If you tell me to go east, I will go east... This Khitan prince, Yelu Yan, is not as powerful as the rumors say. It's so easy for us to kill hundreds of them!" Ye Tie said with a smile without any hesitation:

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Ye Mingsheng, who was drinking chicken soup, was stunned when he heard this. It was as if a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, making him realize what he had missed!
He didn't think of Yelu Yan!
But this is not actually an omission. After all, according to the latest intelligence, Yelu Yan is leading more than 2,000 people to contain Lin Huaiwu's troops in Xinfa County...

Although there was a reasonable explanation, Ye Mingsheng still felt a little uneasy. He quickly finished the food in his hand and replenished his body with energy. Then he asked Ye Tie:
"Have the scouts been sent out?"

Although Ye Mingsheng was not a famous general, as he came from Earth, he attached great importance to the six words "build a strong camp and fight a stupid battle". Whenever the army arrived at a place, they would set up defensive fortifications and send out scouts to find out the surrounding situation and prepare for the next action.

Although he was a little confused as to why his words had such a profound impact on his young master, seeing Ye Mingsheng so serious, Ye Tie also answered seriously:

"The first batch of scouts were sent out when we just set up camp. Judging from the time, they should be back soon!"

"Send a group of scouts out immediately, focusing on the northeast direction. Tell them not to miss any place!" Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:
"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Ye Tie's expression became serious. He did not dare to be negligent and hurried down to complete the task assigned by Ye Mingsheng.

After seeing Ye Tie off, Ye Mingsheng's eyes were focused on the area northeast of Yaowobao on the map. Xinfa County was about 200 miles away from Yaowobao. At the speed of the Khitan cavalry, it would take about two to three days.
It stands to reason that once Yelu Yan heads towards Shiquan County and gives up on tying down the troops in Xinfa County, Lin Huaiwu will definitely send someone to deliver a message to him. He will most likely receive the message before Yelu Yan arrives and be prepared.

Although this is the normal situation, it is better to be safe than sorry...

Ye Tie's words reminded Ye Mingsheng that Yelu Yan had always been very cunning. One of the two generals of Fengzhou before Ye Mingsheng died in an ambush by Yelu Yan in a battle with the Khitans, and the other was also defeated by Yelu Yan and dismissed from office.

How could such a powerful figure have his plan thwarted so easily by me, and have to watch me annihilate his two generals?
Although he didn't know what Yelu Yan was going to do, Ye Mingsheng suddenly had a premonition that a crisis was quietly approaching.

If what I thought was correct, then I would now be facing a very severe test...

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng was very much looking forward to the surrounding situation that the scouts would report back. He needed this information to make the next decision. Ye Mingsheng in the tent did not wait too long. Half an hour later, Ye Tie came to Ye Mingsheng with the scout covered in blood.

“Reporting to the general, we have found traces of the Khitans in a small valley twenty miles northeast of Yaowobao. They are flying the silver-headed wolf flag and there are about three thousand of them. After they found us, they immediately sent people to hunt us down. I am the only one among the five of us who came back alive…” The grief-stricken scout whose companions had died reported to Ye Mingsheng with tears in his eyes:

Although he had already vaguely guessed the result, Ye Mingsheng's heart sank when he got the affirmative answer. He patted the scout's shoulder heavily and said soothingly:

"I understand. I will avenge my brothers!"

"Thank you, General..." The blood-stained scout could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart and cried to Ye Mingsheng:

After letting Ye Tie take the brave scout down to treat his injuries, Ye Mingsheng immediately sent his personal soldiers to call the generals and convene an emergency meeting.

After a cup of tea, He Jingyun, Liang Xuechang and several other sentinels all appeared in Ye Mingsheng's tent.

Feeling everyone's puzzled and puzzled gazes, Ye Mingsheng knew that the generals must be wondering why he had to hold a meeting so late, so he went straight to the point and said:

"The scouts just got intelligence that the Silver Wolf Flag and three thousand Khitans have appeared in a valley twenty miles northeast."

Upon hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, all the generals who had just woken up from their sleep were shocked.

The wolf is the totem of the Khitan people’s faith, and the wolf flag is the symbol of the Khitan army. Among the wolf flags, the gold-headed wolf flag is the most honorable, representing the Khitan Khan, while the silver-headed wolf flag is second only to the gold-headed wolf flag, representing the most respected prince among the Khitan people...
The current owner of the Silver-Headed Wolf Flag among the Khitan people is Yelu Yan, who is very famous in Fengzhou and even in the whole Liaoyang!
Therefore, the appearance of the Silver-Headed Wolf Flag, in other words, means that Yelu Yan appeared in Yaowo Fort!
"Sir, has the information brought by the scouts been confirmed?"

He Jingyun was the first to recover from his surprise. He frowned and asked Ye Mingsheng:

"It has not been confirmed yet, but this news was obtained by the scout team after paying several appointments!" Ye Mingsheng said in a deep voice:

Ye Mingsheng could understand He Jingyun's disbelief. In fact, he was the same. He couldn't believe that Yelu Yan moved so quickly that he crossed two hundred miles from the county seat of Xinfa County and appeared in front of him!

Although I don’t know how Yelu Yan did it, it doesn’t matter now!
The only thing that matters is that this incredible thing really happened!
Yelu Yan and three thousand Khitans appeared around Yaowo Fort!
"Sir, if the news is true, then it means that the Khitans had planned this long ago. I suggest that you take a long-term view and retreat to Mentougou under the cover of night!" Taking a deep breath, He Jingyun suggested to Ye Mingsheng in a deep voice:
