"It is not impossible to use the meat of hunting ferocious birds and beasts to temporarily replace some food and grass."
Xun Shaoyu looked at the city, the large and small streets and alleys neatly arranged in the character "well", and said lightly.
"It's impossible for Lao Fifteen and the others to keep stationing troops in the north. Even if we are willing, we have to ask Xun Shaoshang what he means. The great uncle Xun is too weak, but he is a master who does not rub sand in his eyes."
Xun Shaoshang occupies the western border, although it is also a desolate and barren land. But with his branch, there is a great uncle sitting in charge, so he cannot be insulted at will.
Unlike Xun Shaoyu, the mother clan has little power and can only survive by relying on its own caution.
Yang Chao sighed with emotion: "My lord, they are marching across the border. They seem to be motionless, but in fact they are far from 'moving'. It's even more helpless!"
Xun Shaoyu said softly: "Well... I also need to send one or two eloquent people to the north and east to explain the advantages and disadvantages and persuade them to retreat."
Seeing Yang Chao's astonishment, Xun Shaoyu characterized this move in one sentence: "It's best if this can be done, and it won't hurt if it doesn't."
Since the two of them could join forces to plan the plan, Xun Shaoyu never thought that they would stop so easily. After all, they would have to fight.
But "doing" or "not doing" some things is entirely a matter of attitude.
Even if this 'attitude' is actually not important, it is not how much lighter the toilet paper is. But it still needs to be shown to the Yeting ministers that he, Xun Shaoyu, is 'helpless' and even 'innocent'.
Will a crying child get milk after all?
Yang Chao understood and said: "Here..."
Xun Shaoyu said: "Also... everything in Tangyi should be carried out as usual. Intensify hunting patrols to prevent chaos in the city. If there is chaos, I will give you the power to make arbitrary decisions and focus on suppressing it!"
Yang Chao pondered and said: "My lord, are you not in charge of the city?"
Xun Shaoyu said: "Xun Shaohe and Xun Shangli have posed a big problem for me. Wouldn't it be a great pity if I didn't go and meet these two instigators?"
In any case, Xun Shaoyu didn't think that he could make the two of them find their way back with a round of "talk".
"Mr. Yang,"
Yang Chao bowed and said, "I'm here!"
He put his hands behind his hands and looked at the lights below, and said: "You are in charge of Tangyi for me. At this time, there are not many people I can trust, and sir should take the position."
"The first meeting by the Wuxi River is still vivid in my mind. The affection between you and me is different from others after all!"
The weight of these words made Yang Chao's eyes well up with mist. He leaned forward to kowtow and said emotionally: "My lord is so trustworthy. Even if Yang's body is broken into pieces, it's hard to repay him for this."
"My Lord, there is no need to worry about this trip. If you have a minister in Tangyi for one day, there will be no room for sleep in Tangyi."
Yang Chao said categorically, his words were fierce and decisive.
Xun Shaoyu whispered: "In this way, I can rest assured that Mr. Yang is in charge of the city..."
"My party does not need many soldiers. One thousand [Black Wings] cavalry is enough to deal with it. A large army will be left in Tangyi to guard against the barbarian prisoners, and is always ready to suppress the prisoners."
Yang Chao said: "I know that my lord has worked so hard!"
There is a city with a Yuanshen figure, unless the pure Yang Yuanshen is a top figure like a great master. Otherwise, Tangyi has a large army gathered in it, and there are high walls and fortifications. Even an expert Yuanshen who has survived several catastrophes can only hope.
Sigh at the wall.
"Um……"
Xun Shaoyu looked at the scene of clusters of swaying lights under the city wall, with a look of concentration on his face.
…………
South camp!
The camp of three thousand soldiers is long, with large camps criss-crossing each other.
The bonfire was burning between the campsites, and the red light reflected the faces of the soldiers.
Chang Yunguang held his spear, frowning, and looked at the stretching camp opposite.
This man in charge of the government wore a broad robe. Although he was a military general, he had a majestic appearance, elegant and warm temperament, with three long wisps of beard, and he had a poetic and calligraphic demeanor.
"Doctor Beidi is so... tyrannical and arrogant. Could it be that he really wants to fight with the same roommate?"
Chang Yunguang looked at the opponent's military situation, and saw only hazy patches of blood, and a fierce head grinding its teeth, as if it would kill them in the next moment.
This bloody light is deep and rich, almost turning into evil spirits, and is really difficult to deal with.
"Strong soldiers...strong soldiers...why do you have to fight with your own family?"
Chang Yunguang sighed, but there was nothing he could do.
The most ruthless emperor's family comes from a noble family. Although they are richer and more prominent than the world, they have weak feelings for each other. As long as there is profit, they are the same mother and brother, and they should share life and death.
What's more, this is an open and secret fight between Lu Guogong's chambers. As a confidant of the Lord, he is not qualified to advise from the sidelines.
"Although a direct confrontation between swords and swords is still between two options, but with such a tense situation, there will definitely be real bloodshed one day." Chang Yunguang was deeply touched, and he was deeply worried about his master's situation.
"The right car..."
Several Yu Sima and Xing Sima stood on one side, standing like copper cast iron tires.
One of the soldiers, Sima Suran, said: "It's been eleven days since the strong soldiers in the northern region sealed off the key passes! Now our soldiers are short of food, and their combat power will be damaged for a long time. Time is not waiting for us."
The Northland blocked the pass, which directly put the Southland into an embarrassing situation.
In the past, because the southern land was exposed to barbarians and was rich in fur mountain treasures, it was favored by the nobles of Lu State.
Therefore, people in the south often use furs, mountain treasures and other items to replace daily necessities such as rice, fruits and vegetables.
Nowadays, the northern land is locked up, and even more soldiers are sent to patrol the land, so that merchants from the towns of Lu State are unable to enter the southern land.
Chang Yunguang looked lonely and said: "This is a desperate plan!"
He looked at Zhou Za and saw that among all the ministers and commanders, there were many who were eager to try.
Chang Yunguang sighed secretly, if he could directly use troops to solve this problem, this matter would not be so difficult.
"He has spotted us, and there is nothing we can do to him. He deliberately used this move to defeat the Lord's army."
Chang Yunguang asked: "Do you have any news about the scouts you sent?"
Since the Beidi closed the pass, Chang Yunguang has been scouting every day, trying to contact merchants during the inspection of the pass to ferry a batch of grain to the army.
For merchants, the majesty of a doctor cannot be ignored, but it is not to the point of giving up food because of choking. Most of the merchants compete for profit, and as long as the money and silk are in place, they can betray them calmly.
What's more, the intimidation of Mr. Lu is not as impressive as that of overlords like Lu Hou. As long as the profits given to the merchants are enough, Chang Yunguang is not worried, and these merchants will not take risks.
This person, Sima Chui, said: "None of the eleven scouts has returned. It must be that... something unexpected happened."
Chang Yunguang thought about it and said: "Well... it seems that the determination of the Beidi doctor is really great..."
These scouts who were sent out were all military athletes, and they were masters who had developed the strength of a wild bull. But they disappeared without a sound, not even a wave of waves was stirred up.
How could an outstanding person like Chang Yunguang not detect the profound meaning of this?
"Report..."
"Report..."
A scout quickly came to Chang Yunguang and knelt down with a 'pop' sound.
"Right chariot, commanders, report to Tangyitang!"
The scout lowered his eyebrows and held the newspaper in his hands, raising it high.
Chang Yunguang held the newspaper in his hand, slowly unfolded it, and frowned as he read the contents of the newspaper.
All the commanders were secretly frightened and uneasy. They didn't know what could be found in this newspaper that made You Chao lose his composure.
Chang Yunguang murmured: "The Lord will lead thousands of cavalry... he is coming soon, let us prepare to welcome him!"
When all the commanders heard this, they were shocked: "What..."
The commander of Yiyi was in disbelief and asked: "Master, how could you...come in person?"
"This is unreasonable!"
After all, Xun Shaoyu was a doctor in the South, and he had a very important relationship, and every move had to be carefully considered. And at this sensitive moment, Xun Shaoyu came with thousands of horses, which is really intriguing.
"If my lord comes, this game of chess will become even more interesting."
…………
At this time, Xun Shaoyu led the [Black Wings] cavalry and led a thousand cavalry troops to attack Tangyi City and head straight to the southeast corner.
More than a thousand horses galloped, like a sudden wind, and three thousand wind waves were blown up in the mighty force. The bloody evil was overwhelming, and the turbid ghosts and birds of prey melted away one after another along the way.
Rumble——Rumble——
Each of these [Black Wings] cavalry is equipped with a hundred-refined sword, black mysterious armor, and carries a powerful crossbow and a strong bow. They are all capable of defeating a hundred enemies. Their movement and movement are truly thunderous.
More than a thousand cavalrymen moved together, covered in blood and swept away, and transformed into the true form of a black tiger. It was so ferocious and ferocious that ordinary monsters and ghosts could avoid it.
Even the great demons and their ilk have the ability to transform into reincarnations and travel with their souls. Under the might of the mighty army, they have to evade for hundreds of miles in a hurry, locking up the mountain gates and trembling. Wherever the might of the army comes, all monsters and monsters are like monsters. Escape in embarrassment.
After marching like this for half a day, Xun Shaoyu's army marched southeast.
This southeastern corner is adjacent to Xun Shang Ji in the east, and is an important pass for Xun Shang Ji to control the southern land.
Xun Shaoyu looked at the peaks in the southeast, holding a whip in his right hand, pointing at the steep peaks and rugged mountains in the distance, and leisurely praised: "The scenery of our Nanshan Mountain can be said to be the crown of Cai Di!"
But when you look at the peaks in the southeast, you can see their armor and weapons shaking in the distance.
And what Xun Shaoyu was referring to was not without the meaning of these armored wars.
The people on the side said something, but stopped, as if they were confused: "My lord..."
Xun Shaoyu said: "Why, isn't it strange? Why don't I directly join forces with Chang Yunguang, but instead come to the southeast?"
The various edicts whispered: "I dare not make any rash comments."
Xun Shaoyu said: "Xun Shaohe and Xun Shangli, what do you think?"
This is a 'death' question, and you can't answer it unless you are close to your confidant.
People of noble descent from the official family are not something that ordinary people can discuss.
Zhu Yuxing showed a troubled look on his face, as if he was weighing things up, and sighed: "Both of the two great officials were outstanding figures for a time... They are a blessing to the Lu State and a trouble to the Southland!"
Xun Shaoyu nodded: "That's the truth."
He never belittles himself, nor does he underestimate the world's heroes.
Among the four doctors of Cai Di, except for him, don’t the other three have any luck?
The consequence of underestimating the people in the world is to be fooled by the people of the world!
Those who can emerge from Yuanli are all strong men of the younger generation of the Xun family, and are expected to be the pillars of Lu Guoqing, the title of king.
This kind of person can make people stupid, but they definitely have their own thoughts.
How come today's difficulties are not the temptation of these two people?
No need to use swords and weapons to fight against the barbarians. Xun Shaoyu, who had defeated the barbarians and was in great power, had to struggle to fend off them.
Moreover, even if Xun Shaoyu can survive the current crisis, Xun Shaohe and Xun Shangyi will not lose a single soldier, and they will not have any real impact on these two people.
It was really disgusting, but Xun Shaoyu had nothing to do.
After all, once there was a close encounter, Du Ji Yeting was furious, Xun Shao congratulated him, and Xun Shangwei had the background and backing to turn a big issue into a trivial one.
As for Xun Shaoyu, a person with no roots and no ties, it would be difficult to face the sanctions of the family law.
"My lord, Xun Shang is entrenched in the southeast. He wants to sit east and look south. He has the heart of burning chestnuts...it is certainly hateful..."
Zhu Yuxing admonished and whispered: "However, Xun still cannot hold back. If we move without permission, it will be a fatal weapon and will fall into his hands!"
"A small leak will sink a great ship……"
Xun Shaoyu said slowly: "I have endured it for so many years. Although Xun Shang's intentions are dangerous, he cannot touch my mind."
"It's just that Southeast... cannot fall into Xun Shangyi's hands. It's too dangerous and I don't worry about it."
Xun Shaoyu put his hands behind his hands and looked at the peaks in the southeast and the looming armor.
Zhu Yuxing said softly: "I know my lord's heart."
Don't look at Xun Shaoyu. He behaved in a measured way with rewards and punishments. His ruler and ministers were united, and the people obeyed him. He had the appearance of a wise ruler and a wise ruler.
But in the eyes of all the officials, Xun Shaoyu was an out-and-out heroic figure.
He does not take joy in things, nor feels sorrow in himself. He only pursues profit and gain, and his heart is so cruel that it is shocking.
As long as it is beneficial to him, even if he kills everyone in the world, this lord may not hesitate at all.
Precisely because he saw through Xun Shaoyu's inner coolness, Zhu Yuxing was determined to work for Xun Shaoyu.
Zhu Yuxing secretly said: "Only such a heroic leader can truly accomplish great things and accomplish great things."
It was precisely because of Xun Shaoyu's "quality" that Zhu Yuxing believed that he had some chance of competing for the position of king.
After all, it is good to be a benevolent monarch, but he cannot protect his own family and life. He only lives and dies like dew in the morning. How can he make all the edicts be carried out by such a person?
"Xun Shang set up troops in the southeast, with a force of a thousand. They may say more, but they may say less, but they are very deadly!"
Xun Shaoyu sneered: "He, Xun Shaoyu, is waiting for my defeat, Xun Shaoyu, so that he and Xun Shaohe can carve up the southern land together..."
"But he didn't expect that the barbarians would be defeated, and he didn't expect that they would be defeated so miserably."
Zhu Yuxing said: "We take the initiative, and the subject and object change."
Xun Shaoyu hummed: "Sooner or later...I will make his thousand elite soldiers and armors, including their armor and men, become my possessions."
After saying that, Xun Shaoyu smiled and waved: "Dismount!"
A cavalryman named [Black Wing] was silent and landed lightly in his steps.
These cavalrymen are at least on the verge of being masters of [Easing Muscles and Forging Bones]. Even if they abandon their horses and fight on foot, they are also first-rate seeds of strong soldiers.
Looking at the soldiers on the peaks, Xun Shaoyu rubbed his chin and his eyes turned red.
If the two armies really clashed, Xun Shaoyu was confident that he would be able to annihilate these soldiers without any effort, with very little damage to himself.
"It's a pity that it would be a bit troublesome to ask them to retreat when they are faced with difficulties."
There are only dozens of peaks in the southeast, and each of them is stationed with dozens of soldiers. They are extremely mobile. If there is a crisis, they can respond quickly and support each other.
Although Xun Shaoyu's [Black Wing] cavalry is strong, it is extremely difficult to conquer high ground.
Zhu Yuxing said softly: "Master, why do we face the danger of nature?"
"They can block my food supply, why can't we use their own methods to retaliate against others? We should also block their supply channels and make them feel uncomfortable too?"
There are more than a thousand soldiers in Dongdiwei, so it is impossible to have too many Zizhongs. Moreover, the amount of Zizhongs handled by the army every day is almost the same as the sea, and the number of Zizhongs is huge. If the army is allowed to carry it, I am afraid that it will wait until Xun Shaoyu is defeated. During the time of the barbarians, even this strong force might not be able to enter the southeast.
Therefore, it is the most likely scenario that the powerful soldiers from the east, with light vehicles and simple followers, occupy the southeastern peaks and then transport supplies from the rear.
If Xun Shaoyu had cut off the southeast grain route and besieged but not attacked, he would have trapped these thousands of powerful soldiers to death.
Hearing this, Xun Shaoyu thought deeply for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "This strategy has won my heart... Zhu Yuchai must have great talents!"
Zhu Yuxing said: "The Lord is wrong and praises..."
Xun Shaoyu said: "Zhu Yucha's plan may be the first achievement!"
"Although the guests are here uninvited, I, the master of this land, must not lose etiquette and must entertain them."
He looked solemn and said: "Block the mountain road within a ten-mile radius, and send a large and small scout to the east to detain and suppress them all. We will make a conclusion after the matter is completed."
"Also, if we purge the soldiers from the east along the way, I will not even get a grain of rice or a drop of water from the southeastern peaks. I will make these peaks a place for their trapped animals."
Zhu Yuxing bowed and said: "Here!"
Due to the lack of necessary supplies and the desolation of those mountain peaks, this army of a thousand people can be said to be a strong force if it can last for three days.
In five days, it will collapse!
…………
The so-called peaks in the southeast are just a few dozen peaks.
Because it occupies the intersection of east and south, it is called the Southeast Peaks.
At this time, Gong Liu (1iu) Zan, the general leading the army in the East, wore black black armor and climbed up to look down.
Dozens of black-armored soldiers, holding their sabers, stood silently aside.
The human race in the main world admires the virtues of water and fire, so their armor is either "black" or "red". They only have these two colors to choose from.
Therefore, except for some slight differences in style, the clothes and armor worn by the soldiers of the various princes have many things in common.
For a time, these black armored soldiers had some similarities with the [Black Wing] cavalry at the foot of the mountain.
They are all in black armor, carrying swords and bows. If the armors on both sides were not carved with different ferocious beasts, it would be almost impossible to tell the difference.
Gong Liu Zan muttered: "I didn't expect that this Xun Shaoyu is actually a talented person. He put down the barbaric disaster in one fell swoop, which is really impressive."
Although there is a strategic intention to occupy the southeastern peaks, not everyone can benefit from the wind blowing on the top of the peaks for several days.
If Liu Zan hadn't been a veteran of Xun Taiyong's lineage, experienced and powerful, he wouldn't have been trusted by Xun Shang to control an army of thousands of soldiers and spy on the developments in the south.
The trustworthiness of being in charge of the army alone is naturally extraordinary.
However, now that the barbarians were defeated, the situation of these thousand soldiers was a bit embarrassing.
However, without Xun Shangli's military order, even senior figures such as Gong Liu Zan would not dare to retreat without authorization.
Gong Liu Zan sighed to himself: "There is no place for heroes."
He looked at the Cai map in front of him, his eyes flickering, and he measured it with his fingers, secretly deducing the progress of the battle.
He replaced the three forces of Cai Di with black, white, and red colors. The black force was strong and represented the two families of Xun Shaohe and Xun Shangyi joining forces. The red pattern was self-contained and did not invade each other, which was Xun Shaoshang's sphere of influence.
"White...the army in the North must have driven out our army first!"
Gong Liu Zan knew very well that his large army posed an almost incomparable threat to the North.
If not, I am sure that Xun Shaoyu was afraid of the massacre of his relatives and did not want to fall behind others, so that he would give the Yeting Xun family a chance to intervene. Therefore, Xun Shaoyu could only watch helplessly as this large army penetrated into the heart of the Northland, with no power left. make.
However, once Xun Shaoyu had no worries, would a mere thousand-man army dare to go deep into the North alone without supplies from Zizhong?
Xun Shaoyu could slaughter more than a thousand people with a flip of his hand.
"Nowadays, the southeast and the north are in trouble. If Xun Shaoyu wants to break the situation, he can only fight against the outside but must first settle the inside, march to the southeast, drive away the troubles in the southeast, and gain the benefits of the north."
Due to the lack of supplies in Zizhong, I secretly figured it out, but I was able to figure out Xun Shaoyu's thoughts.
He is also a veteran general with rich experience in commanding troops. He has fought more than a hundred bloody battles, large and small. He is so keen on whims that he will naturally not ignore any crisis.
"Although the Tang newspaper said that the Fourteenth Young Master was galloping to the north, I still want to believe that he came to the southeast of me."
Gong Liu Zan hesitated for a moment and cheered up again.
At this time, the officer of the First Army came to Gong Liu Zan's side and whispered softly into his ear.
Gong Liu Zan's face gradually darkened, and he asked flatly: "The army is so heavy, how many days can it last at most?"
The military commander thought for a moment, stretched out his finger, and said: "About three and a half days...the coarse salt of the army has also become high."
When Gong Liu Zan heard that there was a lack of salt, his face suddenly turned dark: "Well... let some more scouts go to the rear to urge them!"
Lack of food is not a trivial matter, nor will it be a trivial matter. Since ancient times, it has been a famous saying of military strategists to go ahead before soldiers and horses use food and grass.
The military commander said distressedly: "We have sent over a dozen cavalrymen to the east to urge them, but... there is no news at all."
The army can go without food or drink for a day, but it also needs salt. However, the coming and going of the Zi-Chong grain truck lasted far longer than three days, or maybe thirteen days was about the same.
So in order to prevent the scouts from making any mistakes, we usually send one scout out for an hour to guard against other scouts encountering unexpected events.
"If there is a lack of salt, the soldiers will become dehydrated and their hands and feet will be weak. It can be imagined that the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly reduced."
Listening to the secretary's chatter, Gong Liu Zan's brows tightened.
In particular, the army was short of salt, which made Gong Liu Zan secretly uneasy.
"wrong……"
Suddenly, a flash of spiritual light flashed across, and Gong Liu Zan was startled, and a terrifying thought emerged.
Immediately, his fingers trembled as he measured the major arteries of the map. His eyes were bloodshot and he carefully checked his concerns.
"This...this...this..."
After correcting his thoughts bit by bit, Gong Liu Zan became more and more frightened and uneasy, and his fingers were trembling.
