Chapter 104 Another Business Remote Attack
The situation seemed to be better than expected. Lu Zisang rushed to the rendezvous point. Most of his people and horses were damaged, but nearly 200 people were injured. They were ambushed by Kadahl, and it was a miracle that 200 people could survive. Moreover, these 500 people were not all from the Mingsha camp, and half of them were from the border guards. It was drawn, so Lu Zisuan said to the remaining 20s and 30 defenders who are still alive, "From today on, you are the real soldiers of the Mingsha camp. As long as we can return to Youliang Pass alive, I will ask the commander to change your staff to the Mingsha camp!"
The 20 or 30 people were all overjoyed. Because the Mingsha Camp showed their majestic posture in the first battle and gave Kadahl a fierce lesson, the strength of the Mingsha Camp was officially exposed, and it is no secret that only those with outstanding ability can enter the Mingsha Camp after strict selection, so these dozens of defenders can also enter Ming. The sand camp is full of pride and pride. At least the sand camp shows a kind of glory and strength. It can be recognized as the best by Lu Zisong, and the difficult and dangerous battle to break through is also worth it.
However, when everyone saw Zhao Geng on Lu Zisong's horse, they were all angry and rushed forward one after another to cut Zhao Geng to death. Lu Zisong hurriedly protected him in front of the horse and persuaded him, "Don't worry. This man may still be useful to us. Anyway, he is in our hands, and he doesn't want to escape again. When we go back and ask the commander, what should we should do? Just deal with it!"
After persuading everyone for a long time, they slowly held back their anger and gritted their teeth and said that they would smash Zhao Geng's body.
"What should we do next? Should we turn to the Ochin Valley? I don't know how the battle over there is going," someone asked.
Lu Zisun shook his head, "We two hundred people are still seriously injured. Even if we rush to the Ochin Valley, I don't think it will help much. It's better to go to the lower reaches of the Ochin River to investigate the surrounding situation as the commander said, so as to respond to the commander's withdrawal."
"Good! Then let's hurry on the road." The generals asked, "I just hate to be besieged, fail to make contributions, and withdraw so awkwardly. It's too aggrieved!"
"There will be a chance!" Lu Zisun tied Zhao Geng to the saddle, and then changed his own horse brought back by his subordinates. He turned over and said, "We are just baiting the big battle in the Ochin Valley this time. There must be grievances, but one day, we will find all the lost from them, and the sacrificed soldiers will also see us use the enemy. People's heads come to worship them!"
In desperation, in order not to give the enemy an opportunity, Huanxuan still changed his mind and ordered the chariot to be pushed away. However, this experience made her deeply reflect. Although the chariot was powerful, it was too cumbersome and its movement was quite limited, especially not suitable for cavalry pursuit and deep attack.
The troops in Chaoluba did not fight back, and the retreat was smoother than Huanxuan imagined. In the lower reaches of the Ochin River, Huanxuan met Lu Zisang. The two exchanged situations. Huanxuan sighed, "Fortunately, you are scattered and breakout, otherwise you will never withdraw so smoothly. It's too easy for Ktar to bite 200 of you. Of course, I underestimated Knel. I didn't expect him to have so many troops!"
"It's not easy for you. The loss of 5,000 people against the 20,000 cavalry in Chaoruba is much better than mine!" Lu Zisang said sadly, "Actually, I was too careless and didn't find that Zhao Geng was still responding in time."
"There are gains and losses. Maybe this is the battlefield. If there is no constant victory or eternal failure, we don't have to blame ourselves." Huanying Xiao said, "After all, with fewer enemies and more enemies, we are outnumbered. I think we are also close to victory. At the critical moment, we will turn the crisis into safety, otherwise the consequences will be It's unimaginable."
Lu Zisuan looked at Huan Ying and suddenly smiled, "The last general is so curious. The last general hasn't seen his mask yet!" I didn't know it was so powerful?"
"Yes!" Shi Feng interrupted, "After the commander-in-chief put on his mask and shouted to kill. At that time, we were also stunned. If we didn't know that it was the commander-in-chief, he might have been as flustered as the Bei Rong soldiers."
"How can it be so exaggerated!" Huanying was a little embarrassed and said, "The world believes in gods and is very close to ghosts. I suddenly put on my mask. The Bei Rongbing probably thought that the gods and monsters were coming, so Chaoluba was caught off guard. If they saw that I was a female generation, there would be no such effect!"
"Ha ha, that's so good!" Lu Zisong praised, "Bei Rongbing must be very impressed with such a mask as my wife. Every time I think about it, I will be as cold as a cicada."
"That's good!" Huan Ying sighed and pointed to Zhao Geng, who was still hanging on the saddle not far away, and said, "Is he really so close to Ktra? If Wang Ting is east of the upper reaches of the Ochin River, where the sun rises, although there is still no exact location, the scope has been greatly reduced."
"The last general also thinks so. The last general feels that since K'er is willing to care about Zhao Geng's life, Zhao Geng's words are true, so we can dig out some of K'er's weaknesses from Zhao Geng's mouth, so it will be much easier to solve K'er next time." Lu Zisang said.
"Well, okay, take him back to Youliangguan!" Huanxuan waved his hand and said, "But we just made a short adjustment to prepare for the battle against Fu Li!"
"Sure enough, it's still dangerous!" Zhuo Ruitong handed the news to Nie Kong with a helpless face.
After reading it, Nie Kong said lightly, "Why is the Lord worried? The battle of Ochin Valley has bruised one of Fu Li's wings. It should be a gratifying thing."
"Didn't you read the letter that they were going to look for the Wangting of Beirong? I'm worried that Huanying will suffer a big loss if he fights so hard!"
"If she is not a female, or she is not Changsun Huanxuan, the Lord probably won't say that, right?" Nie Kong looked at Zhuo Ruitong fixedly, "Lord, if you really feel that Changsun Huanying is incompetent, I'm afraid he will have changed his coach long ago, let alone agree with Changsun Huanying going deep into Beirong, right?"
Zhuo Ruitong glanced at Nie Kong, "As you say, I recognize her ability, so don't you have to worry?"
Nie Kong smiled and said, "How dare you, how the appointment and ability of the general is a military and political matter, including the evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of actions, is also the responsibility of subordinates, but whether the Lord is worried about the Lord's own private affairs, and how dares Nie Kong interfere in the Lord's private affairs?"
"You..." Zhuo Ruitong said with a toothache, "You are more and more able to use your words and tongue. Forget it, I don't have common knowledge with you. Just say that you also agree with Huanying to go deep into the Beirong grassland and hit Wang Ting directly?"
"Our two big battles are equivalent to weakening the wings of Fu Li, the king of Northern Rong. The two wings must be damaged. Fu Li must be very painful, but it is not painful enough to completely shrink back. Because he still has Chinag, the strength of Chinag is the strongest among the three armies, so the two armies of Chaoluba and Kedal can at most make Fu Li breathe in pain. For a period of time, once he recovers his vitality, he will definitely not give up. The depth of Changsun Huanying is exactly not to give Fu Li this breathing time. Even if he can't completely destroy Wang Ting, if we can defeat Chinag again, we are still worried about trading with Zuo Xian Wang Ye Suhe. Don't there be a card?" Nie Kong brushed his clothes, stood up and said, "And my subordinates feel that Fu Li set up his royal court in the depths of the Beirong grassland, which shows that he has no sense of security and instinctively hides in a safe place to manipulate his three armies. Changsun Huanying is either to capture the king or beat the grass to scare the snake. The worst is that the frightened snake will shrink. If you don't go into the hole, either abandon the hole and move to a safer place he thinks.
"You mean that Fu Li is likely to move to the royal court again?" Zhuo Ruitong said thoughtfully, "Isn't it more difficult for us to fight with him again?"
"It's not as easy for him to find Fu Li, but it's easier for Ye Suhe to find Fu Li than us, isn't it?" Nie Kong said lightly with a touch of mockery in his eyes.
"But I always feel that Ye Suhe is too unreliable. In case he deliberately cheats and pretends to be interested in the throne to coax us. After all, he and Fu Li are brothers. If he does not reverse, not only does not reverse, but also works closely with Fu Li, we will make greater and more sacrifices." Zhuo Ruitongyou He thought softly that everyone can do expedient tricks, not to mention Ye Suhe's kind of person who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles.
Nie Kong thought for a moment and said, "I heard some rumors in Yuzi that the relationship between Ye Suhe and Fu Li is not as close as we thought. Of course, Fu Li takes good care of this brother and indulges him in every way, but that is because the old king of Beirong wanted to pass the throne to him in those years. It was Ye Suhe, not Fu Li, and Fu Li didn't know it. What means did you use to ascend the throne, but if the rumor is true, the throne must still be the knot in Ye Suhe's heart!"
"Is it power again?" Zhuo Ruitong said quietly, "Alas, how many royal nobles can avoid brothers competing and power?"
"Yes!" Nie Kong continued, "Fu Li is brave and ruthless. He wants to rely on force to make Bei Rong strong, while Ye Suhe prefers Wenzhi. I heard that in his early years, he also suggested that Fu Li be a minister to our dynasty, mutual benefit and prosperous economy and trade, but he was almost immediately rejected by Fu Li, so he never mentioned this matter again."
"Oh? Then the last time I persuaded him, why was his attitude so negligent and arrogant? Zhuo Ruitong was puzzled.
"Maybe as a prisoner, he lost face, so he deliberately bluffed. In addition, the matter between brothers is a private secret, and no one is willing to be pierced through this layer of window paper by outsiders, right?" Nie Kong said slowly, "The most important thing is that if Fu Li's policy of governing the country traps Bei Rong In the deeper and deeper crisis, I believe that there will be more and more opposition within them. War has always been a double-edged sword, which is the same for everyone.
Zhuo Ruitong nodded deeply, "So we have to use this sword well!"
"Well, in a word, my subordinates are approving for Mrs. Ying's guerrilla attack on Beirong Wangting, but she has to be very careful. Beirong's sentry and riding must not be underestimated, and the place where we are most likely to suffer is that we are not familiar with the terrain of the Beirong grassland. It would be best to have a detailed and accurate map, but it's a pity. In the upper reaches of the Qin River, the area controlled by Wang Ting and Zuo Xian Wang Ting has always been in a fog.
"Yes, Huanying is very careful. Every time she fights, I am very worried. I really hope that the war will end soon and the world will be peaceful as soon as possible!"
"It's difficult!" Nie Kong took the notebook from his sleeve and handed it to Zhuo Ruitong. "This is the latest military newspaper. The Lord just went out, and the notebook was sent to his subordinates first. Lord, take a look. In the five prefectures and counties such as Tuzhou, Xizhou and Bingzhou, the former court general Feng Tianhua became the king. Jianzhou, Yingzhou, Fuzhou and other six cities raised the flag and turned to the king of Wu, and The three worlds in the southwest have also claimed to be separated from the imperial court and demarcated as a country. Now that they are full of Shenzhou, how can there be a stable place?
"It can be imagined that if the court is in chaos, the world will be in chaos. Nie Kong, our people and horses will go out of the Qianshan Pass the day after tomorrow. You have to be very careful!" Zhuo Ruitong and Nie Kong looked at each other, and his eyes were full of heaviness. "Although the 80,000 horses gathered from all battalions are not all the troops of our Wei County, they are more than half. The remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses have to beware of the loss of Youliang Pass and ensure the stability of all counties in Wei County. Even if the war is tight on your side, I'm afraid I can't adjust. How many reinforcements are there!" Zhuo Ruitong said with a little shame and a little helplessness.
"80,000 is enough!" Nie Kong smiled calmly, "When the king of Wu rose up, the local soldiers in Wu were only this number. Although he now claims to have more than 200,000 horses, he is mostly a mob or villains who see the advantage. Except for the number of people, he may not be much better than us!"
"If there is joy in the outside, the thief will leave it to you!" Zhuo Ruitong said solemnly, "I still say that. You and Huan Ying are one of my brothers and the other is my green plum beauty. No matter who you are, I am the same concern and worry. No matter which one of you is, you have to come back alive, okay?"
"My subordinates have taken advantage of it!" Nie Kong laughed, "My subordinates have only known the Lord for four or five years, but the imperial concubine and the Lord have known each other for more than ten years, and the enemy she wants to deal with is also many times stronger than what her subordinates have to deal with, but the Lord compares us. If Concubine Xuan hears this from the Lord, won't she be sad?"
He is not good at expressing emotions. Such a joke is just that he is afraid of being moved by himself. Of course, it is not a shameful thing to be moved in front of the prince. It is just his own arrogance.
"What can I do?" Zhuo Ruitong also knew that Nie Kong's face was thin and said with a smile, "Although I can't have both fish and bear paws, I don't believe in this evil, but I want to have a try!"
The small door of the dark room was finally opened, and a lamp lit up in the room. A man with a straight figure, clear facial features and corners, appeared in the dark room in a robe and armor.
I haven't seen the light for a long time. Ning Tang'er is very uncomfortable. It's just a lamp, which makes her feel harsh and want to cry. Just half a month, this claustrophobic days have made her pale and her eyes sink deeply, and her lips have bleed.
In the face of the man who suddenly appeared, Ning Tang'er was neither shocked nor angry. With a dull expression, she stared at the other party in a daze. The man's eyebrows seemed to have known each other. Ning Tanger thought of the king of Wei, but when she looked closely, she was different from the king of Wei, and her temperament and expression were far different. .
Wei Wang's handsomeness is elegant and thick, but there is a sense of fierceness and ruthlessness hidden in this man's handsomeness. When it comes to rudeness and cruelty, Lou Xun also has it, but Lou Xun is good at covering up and is not so aggressive, or Lou Xun is gloomy, which is even more difficult to figure out.
The servant moved a chair, and the man sat down opposite Ning Tanger. His expression did not hide his contempt and contempt. After a long silence, the man finally said, "I don't want to kill you, but I have to borrow you temporarily because of the time, so I have to ask you to be wronged for a period of time. What is there in terms of life? You can ask me for any request. I don't want you to die too early.
"Where's the fear?" Ning Tanger didn't expect that this was the first thing she asked when she opened her mouth. Originally, she might have asked who the other party was, but it didn't matter whether she asked or not. She looked so similar to King Wei, and she was so arrogant and noble. Who else could she be besides the King of Wu.
The king of Wu seemed to be stunned and said with a smile, "You are in prison, and you still care about her where she is going?"
Ning Tanger said in a low voice, "Even if you are a prisoner and a hostage, won't you give a statement to the cheap concubine and let the concubine die?"
Wu Wang's handsome face twitched, and his expression became particularly strange, "Bear concubine? Don't presume these two words in front of me. A bitch like you who can do what you can do is also deserve to be a concubine in front of me. Only Zhuo Ruitong's simple fool and Lou Xun's kind of treacherous sycophants can't be pickled and take you into his arms happily. I don'm not despised!"
Ning Tanger was secretly shocked, but she casually said to herself that the King of Wu would be like this**? Just one sentence made the handsome face a little distorted. What is the nature of the king of Wu?
After enduring it, Ning Tanger tried and made another effort, "Well, then tell me where to go, and how long will I be detained!"
Wu Wangjian raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes coldly and fiercely. "Well, for the sake of your confused detention for so long, it's okay for me to tell you. If you go to the capital, you can't see her. As for letting you go, it depends on Lou Xun. If Lou Xun dies, it's useless for me to keep you. If Lou Xun doesn't Death, continue to be an ignorant clown, then your life and death are tied to his thought.
"I didn't understand, sir!" Ning Tanger's lips trembling and said, "Does Lou Xun have to die, or do you want to exchange his life and death for my life and death?"
King Wu looked back and sneered, looking at Ning Tanger's expression like a trapped beast struggling in a trap. "You still don't understand. It's good and broad-hearted, so that you can live a few more days, do you understand?"
"I..." Ning Tanger opened her frightened eyes and didn't know what to say.
"All's it!" The king of Wu lowered his eyes and said coldly, "I guess you have enough of staying in the dark room. From now on, I will give you a lamp. In terms of living, I will send an old woman to take care of you, um..." King Wu said and sniffed, "This room is really smoky! I miss you, Ning Tanger, who is also very popular, and she is not as good as a unkempt-faced pig and dog, hahaha!"
King Wu laughed, stood up, covered his nose, and went away.
The door was locked again. Despite the lamp, the faint light was far from warming people's hearts. Ning Tanger trembled for a long time and finally couldn't help crying.
