Chapter Seventy-Two: To the Border

"Do you know Le Yu?" Mu Shang looked at Xuan Ling in surprise. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, we've met a few times, but I'm still a little more familiar with Le Yu's brother, the one with the same name as Sikong Yan. ”

"Do you know Mr. Wang Yichen too?" the surprised emotion on Kigami's face was even worse.

"Stop, stop!" Shen Lanying jumped between the two and stopped the two, "These parents will talk later, Mu Shang, what is your situation now, why did you appear here?"

As soon as he said this, Mu Shang showed an indignant look on his face again, and took out a metal token from his sleeve, "This is the transfer Ling that my father gave me this morning, I should have been able to call in an army of four thousand people, but now I ......"

Mu Shang said, looking at the team with a small number of people, and he was angry again.

"How many people are there now...... The original team of Mufu counts you exactly two hundred and five. Xuan Ling looked at the team and said.

Now Shen Lanying finally understood that the generals who kept taking soldiers from the large army were all loyal supporters of Mu Xiang. Oh, and the general who led the team should also be Mu Xiang's person, otherwise he wouldn't have acquiesced to other generals snatching people from Mu Shang's team.

Analyzed in this way, there are few people in this army who support Mu Shang at all, even if he has the transfer order given by Tusi in his hand, he will also be bullied and oppressed by Mu Xiang, this Mu Shang is really miserable.

Shen Lanying said suspiciously, "What about your own army, why didn't you follow you?" She remembered that Mu Shang also had some of his own team, and he should still have some military power in his hands.

Mu Shang said: "A spy came to report that the Nanban had divided a group of men and horses, intending to attack our rear from the west side, and my troops were intercepting them on the west side. Lord Tusi was afraid that they would repeat their old tricks on the east side of the battle line, so he asked me to lead another 3,000 men to intercept them on the east side. Who knew that Mu Xiang would still play tricks on me at this time. ”

Shen Lanying sighed, "Three thousand people have deducted you to only more than four hundred, he is not playing tricks, but lacking hearts." When this battle is over, he will naturally not have any good fruit to eat, and there will be enough for him to drink a pot from Lord Toast. But how do I remember that the terrain on the east side of the battle line is very precipitous, and in some places it is even covered with large swamps, will the army of the Nanban really come from here?"

Mu Shang said in a deep voice, "I can't say this well, it's because the terrain here is steep, and Lord Tusi is afraid that they will go the opposite way, so he sent me here." ”

The terrain on the east side is not suitable for large troops, but if only a few men are sent, it can still be passed. However, once a small number of centaurs cross the steep terrain, they will definitely have an excellent surprise effect.

Shen Lanying nodded, "I already understand the general situation, since this is the case, then let's hurry up, there is still a short distance from the destination." I hope the Nanban will really send an army over. ”

Mu Shang was stunned, "But, what can I do with such a small number of people? If the enemy army really wants to pass through this place, even such a small number of troops will not be able to stop them! I think I should go back to the front line and bring the troops directly." ”

Shen Lanying immediately glanced at Mu Shang, "If you go back to your father now to reflect Mu Xiang's small actions, you can indeed bring people from your father, but this also means that you admit defeat to Mu Xiang, how can you stand up in the army in the future?"

Mu Shang was stunned, "But ......"

"Young Master Mu Shang, don't do it anymore! It is true that the number of people is a little less, but it is always the number of soldiers that determines the success or failure of the war, but this. Shen Lanying said, pointing to her head, "It's the strategy of the leader." ”

Mu Shang stood thoughtfully for a while, and finally bowed slightly to Shen Lanying, "I understand." Then he gave the order to march south.

Shen Lanying asked for a detailed topographic map from Mu Shang and studied it with Xuan Ling. The reason why she encouraged Mu Shang to advance south was not because of no purpose, but because this terrain was too suitable for guerrilla warfare, and the number of people was too large.

Just when Shen Lanying and Xuan Ling agreed that if the Nanban really sent troops from the east, the road they took was the only way for the Nanban to send troops, Mu Shang found them.

"Dian, eh, Shen Lanying, do you want to go with us, but it's too dangerous over there, or I'll send someone to send you back." ”

Shen Lanying asked without raising her head: "Send me back?" If I go back, I will inevitably be pulled to Muxiang Mansion by Ah Liangyin, are you sure you want to send me back?"

"This ......"

Shen Lanying didn't wait for him to reply, and instead asked, "How much of Mu Mansion's army is now in the hands of Mu Xiang, and how many are neutral?"

When asked this question, Mu Shang said helplessly, "Most of them support Mu Xiang." A small number of neutral generals were loyal to my father, and they would not take sides at all. ”

"In this way, how long do you think the Mufu army under Mu Xiang's control can last?"

Hearing this, Mu Shang's face showed a look of surprise, "Do you also think that they are not capable of repelling the Nanban?"

What? also, what does that mean?

As if seeing the puzzlement on Shen Lanying's face, Mu Shang hurriedly said, "Mr. Sikong also asked me the same question. ”

Before Shen Lanying could say anything here, Xuan Ling stretched her tone, "Wow~ You two are so tacit!"

Shen Lanying glanced at Xuan Ling speechlessly, and muttered secretly in her heart, careerist? she hadn't seen a careerist for several days, and the only connection was that Sikong Yan had asked Gu Yao to send her a letter before.

Eh, wait, what about Gu Yao's others?

I'll go, that unlucky kid won't still be there in Lugu Lake!

Shen Lanying mourned for Gu Yao for a second in her heart, and then decided to contact Sikong Yan first, as for finding Gu Yao, let Sikong Yan do it.

"By the way, Mu Shang, where is Fei Jie. ”

Mu Shang scratched his head and said, "Mr. said that he had other arrangements and left early this morning, and then I received my father's order to come here." ”

He's got enough to do things! What else to arrange!

As they walked, Shen Lanying suddenly thought of something, and called out to Mu Shang, who was walking not far from them, "By the way, Mu Shang, have you sent someone to explore the way in front?"

Mu Shang was stunned, "No, everyone is here!" His expression was extremely innocent, innocent as if sending spies to explore the way was a violation of military discipline.

Shen Lanying repeated to herself in her heart, I am a princess now, I have to be calm, calm.
