Many sergeants did not recognize Xu Tong, but Ge Zhuo and others did. Seeing Xu Tong's return, they all became excited and raised their spears in the air: "General, a great victory!
"
A shout immediately infected the three armies.
"Big victory, big victory, big victory!"
Amidst the slogans, the three armies behind the camp roared together with such a momentum that it was so shocking that it could be heard clearly even in the Northern Barbarian camp thirty miles away.
Xiao Chi, the head coach of the Northern Barbarians, walked out of the commander's tent wearing an animal skin. Looking at the murderous aura ahead, he couldn't help but grimace.
"Commander, is Yang Hong back?"
A Northern Barbarian general said with a solemn expression.
Yang Hong's name is now like a shining star piercing the night sky. If the Northern Barbarians still don't know who cut off their food route and killed A Baobao, then their intelligence would have gone too far.
Failed.
Yang Hong was granted the title of Marquis in the first battle at Shenwuguan, and is now ranked 23rd among the generals in the world. Although his ranking is not high, this ranking has already made many veteran generals jealous.
"Hey~" Xiao Chi tightened the animal skins around his body and walked in front of the camp with a group of soldiers: "Although the Xuan Kingdom was destroyed, the national destiny collapsed and turned into thousands of tributaries to nourish the world. As the saying goes, times create heroes.
, not surprising.”
"But it is just a fool's errand to think that this person can control the battlefield. Now that the food road has been opened, although I ordered the three armies to retreat thirty miles, there is a barrier and a favorable location.
It will snow heavily in one month at the earliest and in two months at the latest. By then the troops will be demoralized due to lack of food. We will wait for our army to launch a full-scale attack and force them to retreat to Shaoxing. They will negotiate with us for peace and rule by crossing the river. Our century-old cause of the Northern Barbarians will be completed.
also."
Speaking of this, Xiao Chi's cloudy eyes were filled with sparkling light. He was already sixty-eight years old. If nothing unexpected happened, this battle would be the last battle in his life. It would be a glorious curtain call or death on the battlefield.
, Xiao Chi is looking forward to his ending being brilliant enough.
At the same time, on the other side, Xu Fan and others looked coldly at this Marquis Shenwu, who they had never met before but was already famous in the court. This was a person that even his own father was very optimistic about.
Xu Tong also noticed Xu Fan and others. After all, the big flag embroidered with golden lions was so conspicuous that it was difficult not to notice it.
When he walked to the camp gate and glanced at Xu Fan and others, he suddenly became alert.
After reading the script, Xu Tong knew very well that the Xu family is the big BOSS in this world, and Xu Lai himself is a vessel for the gods. In the last round, the players almost wiped out the group because of the Xu family.
But I am not the weakling in the last round, or rather I am dealing with the Xu family.
At this time, Xu Tong turned his eyes and saw Wu Jie and others. At the reminder of Gao Zhuo and the others, he quickly jumped off his horse and bowed forward with both hands: "The guilty general Yang Hong meets Marshal Wu!"
Wu Jie was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Tong up with both hands, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Marquis Shenwu has made great contributions to our army this time, what is the crime?"
"The front line was defeated. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, I pretended to be the captain of the former camp Zhaowu. This is a serious crime. Please punish Marshal Wu!"
Wu Jie and the others couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this. In fact, everyone knew this matter well, but they didn't mean to point it out. After all, Yang Hong is now Shenwuhou and one of the Siping generals. Who would care about such a trivial matter?
.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Xu Tong did when he returned to camp was to expose this matter in public.
However, Wu Jie was able to serve as the commander-in-chief of one side, and his mind was so delicate. He immediately understood Xu Tong's intention after being stunned for a moment. He held his beard and thought for a few seconds: "According to law, this matter should be beheaded, but you have repeatedly achieved military exploits, so this matter should be left to me."
It is up to the Holy One to make the final decision!"
This statement is actually the same as what he didn't say. Now the emperor is very fond of the Shenwuhou who gave him a big face. I am afraid that this memorial is a disguised way of praising Yang Hong for his bravery and strategy, and maybe there will be another reward.
.
It's just that Xu Tong exposed this matter. If anyone wants to make a fuss about this matter in the future, I'm afraid there will be no chance.
Xu Tong's behavior was not only an invisible statement to Wu Jie, showing that he had no intention of taking credit and being arrogant, but also removing this weak flaw on his body, killing two birds with one stone.
Sure enough, after Wu Jie finished speaking, he took Xu Tong's arm more affectionately and walked into the camp.
"Sir, this person is very thoughtful and meticulous in his work. You must not allow this person to take advantage of you!"
The guards around Xu Fan stared at Xu Tong's back, and their expressions became solemn for a moment.
"Hmph! If it was easy to deal with, why would my father let me come to this hellish place to suffer!" Xu Fan rolled his eyes. Because of the dog money named Lu, the Xu family's prestige in the military had been lost a lot.
Coupled with the sudden rise of Yang Hong, even his father began to worry that Yang Hong was growing up too fast, so he came to the front line to appease the morale of the soldiers and get close to the Shenwu Marquis. As for military achievements, it was all incidental.
Xu Fan didn't care about things.
"Don't add unnecessary unnecessary extravagance. Use this person if you can, and don't offend him if he can't. My father is sitting firmly in the court, our Xu family's luck is not bad, and I, the emperor, can't do anything to us."
After saying this, Xu Fan motioned to the guards to find a comfortable place to set up camp.
On the other side, Xu Tong was also brought into the commander's tent. Only after everyone was seated, Wu Jie motioned to a young general on the side to tell Xu Tong the current situation on the battlefield.
Although the Northern Barbarians retreated thirty miles, they took advantage of the geographical advantage and laid up layers of defenses. If they wanted to rush in head-on, even the land gods would not be able to do so.
Thousands of people formed a military formation, and their auras were connected together. The aura swallowed up the sky and the earth, and evolved into strange formations. The changes were endless and mysterious, and could not be broken by one person's power.
The more powerful a general is, the more he knows how to use formations.
Xiao Chi is a famous general in the world, and he is the best among them. Even his old rival Wu Jie himself is not completely sure that he can beat him.
"Now the two sides have formed a competitive situation. No matter who is attacking or defending, they are fighting for nothing more than food and logistics. However, the Northern Barbarians have annexed the Xuan Kingdom and have the world's granaries as backup. They are determined to continue to consume it. If our army comes to winter
If we can't break it, we have no choice but to retreat."
After the young general pointed to the sand table in front of him and analyzed the situation clearly, Xu Tong frowned and looked at the sand table for a moment: "Can we take another detour to attack the grain?"
"Disaster!"
Wu Jie said one word very directly. Although he did not say the reason, one word was enough to explain many problems.
Xu Tong thought about it. He could think of it. He was facing a famous general in the world. How could he not think of it? The two sides were in a stalemate at this point. It was obvious that the two sides had begun to play their cards right.
Seeing Xu Tong's silence, Wu Jie asked everyone to go down to rest first, leaving Xu Tong alone.
"Does Lord Shenwu have a strategy to defeat the enemy?"
"??"
Xu Tong didn't expect that Wu Jie would ask such a question when he was left alone. He was stunned for a second before replying: "I'm a newbie here, and I don't have a clue yet. But I just heard what the young general said. I think his method is Although there are many, they are nothing more than one word."
"What!"
Wu Jie stared at Xu Tong with wide eyes.
"Wait!" Xu Tong looked calm and said what no one dared to say, and then added: "Wait for the flaw."
In fact, this was only half of what he said, and there was another half. Xu Tong thought about it again and again but still didn't say it, but I believe Wu Jie knew it in his heart.
In the current situation, neither Xiao Chi nor Wu Jie of the Northern Barbarians want to fight rashly and fight to the end. Even if they win, it will be a miserable victory.
In this world, there are not only Tianqian and Northern Barbarians, but also Xia, Dali, and Tubo. Once both sides are seriously injured in the fight, neither side will gain anything in the end.
Moreover, both of them are famous generals in the world, and they are already nearly seventy years old.
We all know in our hearts that neither the annihilation of the barbarians nor the annihilation of the Qian can be achieved overnight. At this age, as long as you are undefeated, you will win.
Why bother taking the lives of soldiers to glorify yourself?
So both sides are waiting, either for the other side to find a flaw, or for an opportunity for both sides to step down.
Wu Jie sighed and had to say that Yang Hong saw this clearly, but he was also a little disappointed. He wanted to hear some different opinions from Yang Hong, but he didn't expect that it was similar to what he thought.
Then I thought about it again and found it ridiculous. The fact that I could think of this was enough to show that this guy was a talented general, and he was also someone who couldn't break the situation.
It's just that... it's much different from the sixteen characters I saw that day. I guess these sixteen characters didn't really come from Yang Hong. I don't know where I saw them.
Just when Wu Jie wanted to let Xu Tong go down to rest, Xu Tong looked at the sand table: "Commander, since we have to wait, let's not wait in vain. Why don't I bring a group of troops to harass him from the side and kill him if I have a chance?" Send barbarian soldiers and withdraw them before they have a chance. If a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, it may be possible to find the opponent's important land for harvesting grain, but it can be regarded as a loss of merit."
When Wu Jie heard this, a look of displeasure suddenly appeared on his face, and he thought to himself that this was not nonsense, as dividing the troops at this time would lead to chaos.
But before he opened his mouth, Wu Jie remembered that this Shenwuhou was not an ordinary person. He was the best in the world. In addition, he had heard from the soldiers who followed him how Xu Tong killed Abaobao. He suspected that this man had a Taoist weapon in his hand. The strength of soldiers is extraordinary.
At that moment, he roughly understood what Xu Tong meant. After thinking for a while, he nodded: "That's fine, you go and rest for a while. Later I will ask Wu Zhe to order a group of soldiers and horses for you to dispatch."
As soon as Xu Tong heard the name, he knew that Wu Zhe was probably a relative of the handsome man, but he didn't point it out. After all, the cake belonged to everyone. There was no reason for others to go out and steal wild growth while they were playing in a group. In the end, why don't you give me a few heads as compensation?
When Xu Tong came out of the camp, Gao Zhuo and three others were standing not far away waving to him.
When Xu Tong was about to pass by, a figure flashed out from the side and raised his hand towards Xu Tong: "Marquis Shenwu, I have invited you!"
