Chapter 548: Misunderstanding
The collection of the army of 10,000 is not so simple, and it will not be completed until the evening of the day. This is also because it is late winter and early spring, the weather is still too cold, and the Mongol army only carries a small number of cattle and sheep with the army;
In addition, it was originally a temporary deployment, as a rushing combat unit, and it was not intended to be fought as a battle. It is not the usual practice that 10,000 combat troops in the front often have to keep up with 20,000 or even 30,000 herdsmen in the rear.
Of course, there are also reasons for Timur's deliberate delay. It's okay if you force me to quit the army, but if I'm slower, you can't do anything about me.
Timur's response is certainly a venting response, but the deeper reason is that, as Chang Bao analyzed, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Su Mojun. After all, Su Mo and the others were fighting away from home, and they were alone for thousands of miles, and they couldn't get enough supplies at all.
There is a cloud in the art of war: if you run for a thousand miles, you will step on the general. One of the most important reasons for this is this.
Timur sent someone to inform Su Mo that it was night, and the army could not be mobilized, and he would not set off until early tomorrow morning.
Su Mo agreed with great concern, and was very concerned about letting Nianhan Timur go well. But when the messenger took his leave, he made another request. This request was brought back to the Chinese army by the envoys, and Timur was furious.
Su Mo's request is that Daming is a civilized and friendly country, and Lord Su Qincha is also a knowledgeable and caring international friend. In order to better take care of His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Mongolia who temporarily lives in this army, Lord Su hopes that after the Mongolian army starts tomorrow, the camp will not have to be demolished.
To drive people away is to occupy their homes, and to drive away their troops to take advantage of them, how shameless does this Nima have to be, and how much does he have to bully people to do it?
Of course, the Mongol envoys had to argue on the basis of reason.
However, Sumer's answer was simple and rude, shouting to close the door and let the chickens go! Urusborot was pulled out again, and he was stabbed in the other leg......
The Mongolian envoy walked away with his face full of cattle and hiding his face. So, in the Mongolian tent that night, another exquisite porcelain bowl was shattered.
Early the next morning, the Mongol army marched as promised, slowly retreating eastward. There was a whistle on the cliff, and Su Mo ran out with all the soldiers and saw him off nearby.
Timur's hateful teeth were bitten out and bleeding, and he stared at it from afar for a long time, and finally spat hatefully and turned his head away.
He couldn't watch it any longer, or he was really afraid that he couldn't help it, so he ordered the army to run over and completely cut this damn rat into meat sauce.
Seeing the figure of the Mongolian army slowly leaving, Chang Hu's eyes turned around the scouts nearby, and he couldn't help frowning slightly. Obviously, although Timur had to retreat according to the agreement, he still left enough watchmen.
These Mongol scouts didn't even hide it at all, and told each other that we were spying on you. With these scouts watching, Su Mo's side will be known by Timur the young man if there is any trouble.
"Brother Su, these guys are looking at ...... like this," he approached Su Mo and whispered, his words slightly worried.
Su Mo had told them the day before yesterday that he would try to force the Mongols to retreat, so as to find an opportunity to win in the midst of the invincible. But the specific details have always been unfathomable and unwilling to go into detail.
Although the Chang family brothers couldn't guess it in their hearts, seeing that he was sure and confident, it was inconvenient to ask more. It is not uncommon for two armies to face each other. The secret of victory is mostly known to a very small number of high-level officials, and even only the supreme commander holds it.
However, at this time, seeing that three days had passed, Su Mo's words of forcing the Mongolian army to retreat had really been done, but it was being monitored so closely, Chang Hu felt that any plan was not easy to use, so he couldn't help but worry.
Su Mo didn't care, he still had a breezy expression, and asked people to pick up a few tents a little, and then beckoned everyone to move in.
Seeing Xu Pengju and the others cheering heartlessly, busy grabbing the tent, the Chang brothers were just full of helplessness. After the arrangement was made, Chang Hu and Chang Leopard came directly to see Su Mo. If nothing else, they don't have much food. According to the current situation, the dry food carried by the soldiers, even if they were compressed as much as possible, could only last for one day at most.
"Why compress it? That's not possible, you have to let the brothers eat enough, otherwise, how will the battle be fought in the future?" Listening to the two of them, Su Mo's head shook like a rattle.
Chang Hu was angry, and said angrily: "Don't I know that I have to feed the soldiers to maintain their combat strength? It's just that here is deep in the grassland, and there is nowhere to replenish." In the cold weather, I didn't even get much from hunting, so I was really helpless. ”
Su Mo's eyes rolled, and he muttered: "This can't be done, you have to think of something to eat, at least you have to be able to satisfy the ...... for another three or five days."
Chang Hu rolled his eyes and stopped talking, three or five days? He said it in vain just now, let alone three or five days, at most one day! After one day, these thousands of people will be completely out of food, even if they slaughter horses, they will hold on for one more day at most. And in this thousand-mile desert, if there are no more war horses, then there is no need for the Mongols to fight, and this harsh climate and environment can destroy this partial division.
Chang Bao raised his hand and pressed his eldest brother's shoulder, signaling him to be calm. Turning his head to look at Su Mo, he smiled bitterly: "Brother Su, how can you launch your plan? If it really doesn't work, it's better to make plans early." Otherwise, we will starve to death before the war starts. You don't expect the Mongols to listen to you and send us food. ”
"Hmm, what are you talking about?" Su Mo's thoughtful expression was stunned, and Huo Ran turned his head and asked.
Chang Hu's heart jumped, only when the second brother's words made Su Mo angry. hurriedly wanted to play a round game, but was stopped by Su Mo waving his hand, and said to Chang Bao anxiously: "Second Brother Chang, you repeat what you just said again." ”
Chang Bao frowned slightly, he also thought that Su Mo was annoyed and angry, and wanted to find an excuse to anger him. I was disappointed and resentful in my heart, so I simply let it go, and said indifferently: "I said that we have no food, if there is no ...... to win."
"No! not this sentence!" Before he could finish his sentence, he was rudely interrupted by Su Mo.
Chang Leopard rushed upward, his face became more and more difficult to look at, and he said coldly: "It's not this sentence, but what kind of sentence is it?" ”
He was wise, but he was young and vigorous. If it weren't for the obedience he had just expressed the day before yesterday, he promised to obey General Su Mo's orders, and I was afraid that he would have to leave the door at this time.
Su Mo didn't seem to be aware of it, and said hurriedly: "Mongols! I seem to have heard you mention that the Mongols are obedient or something. ”
Chang Bao was stunned for a moment, then his face sneered, and he nodded: "Yes, the last general said it, is it possible that the general can make the Mongols listen to you for everything and send us food?"
As he spoke, he suddenly realized in his heart. Didn't that last sentence sound mocking? It's just that his willingness is just to sigh and laugh at himself, how could he have been directed at him Su Mo? This person wants to make trouble with this, so he doesn't bother to explain, let him go, but see what he can do.
Chang Hu also understood now, and couldn't help but feel slightly unhappy in his heart. The army is rigorous, no jokes, and there is nothing wrong with it. If you have been strict with this point from the beginning and strictly governed the army, since we said that we would obey the dispatch, how could we offend?
But what do you want to do as a corporal, what is not in a formal setting, how should everyone be, just speak as a brother, just feel free, this is why the second brother has such words.
Isn't it too much for you to use this as an excuse to embarrass us?
thought so, but in the end, it was difficult to refute the face and the previous oath, so I had to worry about it with a bitter face, and think about how to deal with the past.
As a result, before he could speak, Su Mo over there snorted, clapped his hands and laughed: "Second brother Chang, this is the sentence." You're right, our food really has to fall on the Mongols. After that, he didn't have time to say more, so he jumped up and ran out.
In the tent, the Changhu and Changbao brothers looked at each other, all with bewildered expressions. What is the situation of this Nima? Could it be that it is not that people want to embarrass themselves, but that they have really thought of a way? In this way, aren't the two brothers becoming small-bellied chickens and villains in vain?
Thinking like this, the two brothers couldn't help but feel ashamed, and when they glanced at each other, they both saw embarrassment and shame in each other's eyes.
Chang Hu touched his nose ashamedly, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The old ancestor always said that we were too dry, and we were quite angry about our brother Xiangri, but now it seems, hey!" he shook his head and sighed with bitterness on his face.
Chang Leopard's eyes were also a little wandering, but suddenly a flash of spiritual light flashed, and he suddenly lost his voice and said: "Alas, what did he say just now......? Ah, I see!"
Chang Hu was startled, looked at his brother hesitantly, and said, "Second brother, what do you understand? Could it be that he really wants to beg for food from the Mongolian mouth?
Chang Bao nodded with a wry smile and sighed: "Boss, I'm afraid that's what he really plans." Don't forget, His Royal Highness, the second prince of Mongolia, Jinong Ke is here. ”
Chang Hu sighed, instantly thought of a possibility, and said dumbfoundedly: "He...... He...... He's not going to think about it...... This, wouldn't it be too ...... Too...... Next, cough cough ......"
Chang Leopard had a wonderful look on his face, and said with a wry smile: "He has done everything that even the dead have to take advantage of, what is this little thing now? Believe me, he will definitely do it, and he will do it without any psychological burden." But it's not a good idea, hehe, it's not going to be talked about. The two armies are facing each other, each with its own strategy, and the winner is king. Let's see, let's see how far our general will go? To tell the truth, the younger brother is not convinced, but this time he is really convinced. Now, I'm looking forward to it even more......"
He said as if explaining and talking to himself, his eyes uncertain.
Chang Hu was awakened by his words, thinking about it, isn't that really the case? I didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while, and the two brothers were silently facing each other in the big tent, each thinking about it, and they were speechless.
On the other side, Su Moxing rushed to the back. Regarding the misunderstanding of the Chang family brothers in the account, he naturally reacted at this time. But he didn't care, and he didn't blame anything.
Between people, there is a need for continuous running-in and collision, only after enough understanding, can we truly become friends. Just like the battle between him and Xu Pengju, isn't it also from the beginning of the battle, and finally to the current brothers?
The Chang brothers have always been rampant in the northwest, and with the prestige of their ancestors, who is not allowed to give them some face in the land of the three Qins in Guanzhong? In addition, he is rarely heroic, quite talented, and a little arrogant, and he has a sense of superiority in the face of his white body, which is also the meaning of the question.
In this case, it is extremely rare for them to finally be able to make a frank promise and be willing to obey their orders. As just now, because of the difference in thinking, and because of the misunderstanding of one's own thoughts, it is nothing.
Although Su Mo doesn't boast of how open-minded he is, he is still very tolerant of the friends he deserves.
Therefore, he will not blame the Chang brothers. However, the "friend" he wants to see next will not enjoy this kind of tolerance. General Su's side to him will always be the blackest.
