Chapter 115: The Battle of Huangshi Village (1)
"It's decided, do you want to go out?" Shangguan Jin straightened his messy hair, gently snuggled up to Mu Tianxiang's chest, and asked softly.
"Yes, the Flowing Cloud Sect can't be defeated too quickly now, it's not in our interests. Mu Tianxiang said while holding Shangguan Jin's delicate waist.
A month ago, the battle between the Flowing Cloud Sect and the Bloodthirsty Sect finally broke out in full force and inevitably. The main battlefield of both sides is concentrated in the country of Chishui. However, due to the earlier battle between Zhuge Hongzhi and Zhuge Hongyun, the Chishui Kingdom had long been dilapidated, and its defense was very weak, and it was unable to resist at all.
Twenty days ago, the two sides met at Chiyun Mountain, and the Liuyun Sect was defeated, losing 200,000 horses......
Fifteen days ago, I fought again in Majiazhuang. The Liuyun Sect was defeated, losing 500,000 horses and one Heavenly Extreme Cultivator......
Seven days ago, he fought against Haojialing. The Liuyun Sect was defeated, losing 300,000 horses. ......
......
In several wars, the Liuyun Sect was defeated again and again, the army was weak and unable to resist, and in less than a month, nearly half of the territory of the Chishui Kingdom was lost, and the troops were lost.
This is not to say that the Bloodthirsty Sect is much stronger than the Flowing Cloud Sect, the main reason is that the Bloodthirsty Sect is carefully prepared, and the Flowing Cloud Sect is in a hurry, and many internal problems have not been solved. Under the circumstances of internal and external troubles, coupled with improper command at the front, the situation is not optimistic.
After a series of battles, he lost his troops and lost his generals, and in the face of the embarrassing situation, someone finally remembered Mu Tianxiang's army. After all, Mu Tianxiang ruled the three counties with the power of half a county, and he was also well-known in the surrounding area.
Three days ago, the Sect Master of Liuyun Sect and Zhuge Hongyun sent letters respectively, acknowledging Mu Tianxiang's control over Tianya County and other three counties, and ordering Mu Tianxiang to lead the army to support the front line.
"Well, since you've decided, let's go, there are a few of us at home, so it shouldn't be a big problem. After being silent for a while, Shangguan Jin said.
In the past few days, Mu Tianxiang knew that he would eventually participate in the war, and he had a good time with his family for a few days. Mu Jiajia, Mu Lingzhu and a group of children were having a lot of fun. Shangguan Jin, Ouyang Xiaozhi, and Nangong Yan also guessed that Mu Tianxiang was about to go to the battlefield, and when they were alone, they also let go of Mu Tianxiang, and Mu Tianxiang was immersed in Gentle Township and couldn't extricate himself.
"If Mrs. Shangguan doesn't want to, don't force it, let's think of another way!" Mu Tianxiang said lightly kissing Shangguan Jin's face.
"Things are not as complicated as you think, my mother has long been disappointed in my grandfather, and the family affection has long faded, let me talk about it, it's not a big problem, my mother will support us, especially after my grandmother's mysterious death......" Shangguan Jin shyly pushed away Mu Tianxiang, who was asking for too much, and said.
"Alright, let's move on ......"
......
Happy times are always short-lived, and three days later, Mu Tianxiang finally led the army to set off.
"Ma Xiaoke, you lead the third, fourth, and fifth group armies, with a total of 300,000 people, from the Wolf Valley, send troops to Chishui Country, and set off on the same day," Mu Tianxiang ordered.
"Yes, the last general will obey!" Ma Xiaoke took the order and left.
"The First Group Army stayed in Tianya County, and the Second Group Army stayed in Ping'an County and Tianhai County, under the unified command of Shangguan Invincible, to assist the local people in maintaining law and order and suppressing bandits. "Shangguan Invincible's injuries have not healed, so this time he will go with the army to fight, after all, the family has to be guarded.
The rest of the group army, totaling 500,000 people, was led by General Liao Huayu and set out from Ping'an County as a whole army. ”
"Yes, the last general will obey!" Liao Huayu commanded loudly.
"I led the first army directly under me to rush to Chishui Country in advance, and you will also rush to Chishui Country in half a month, and those who violate the order will be severely punished. Mu Tianxiang said.
......
The matter was urgent, and after arranging the relevant affairs a little, Mu Tianxiang led 30,000 people to set off from Tianyu City and go straight to Chishui Country.
"Mr. Mu, if we bring such a few people, there will be no danger, right? After all, we just had a big battle with Zhuge Hongyun......" Hao Jun asked uncomfortably when he saw Mu Tianxiang not waiting for the army and moving forward alone.
"No, it turns out that due to the existence of Zhuge Hongzhi, we and Zhuge Hongyun are hostile, and now Zhuge Hongzhi has died. It can be said that in the Liuyun Sect, Zhuge Hongyun has no opponents, and inheriting the position of the sect master is also a sure thing. At this time, in the face of external enemies, no matter how internal friction is, it will not be able to get along with yourself, and no one will do this......" Mu Tianxiang said lightly.
Can be selected as the heir, that mental talent is not an ordinary person, in order to compete for the position of heir, you can collude with the bloodthirsty door, at this time the position of the suzerain is already within reach, Mu Tianxiang believes that Zhuge Hongyun will make a wise choice, maybe he will reuse Mu Tianxiang, everyone understands the truth of buying horse bones.
In extraordinary times, internal stability and the stability of people's hearts are very important, although it is nothing to deal with Mu Tianxiang, but what will others think, how can they fight if they are separated from Germany, the Liuyun Sect has fallen, and the bloodthirsty gate will definitely kill Zhuge Hongyun quickly, without a little hesitation, Mu Tianxiang believes that Zhuge Hongyun also knows this, everyone else has the possibility of living, and the Zhuge family will be destroyed!
"Young master, Mu Tianxiang's reinforcements have set off, and they will arrive soon!"
"The speed is so fast!" Zhuge Hongyun was overjoyed, he was worried about Mu Tianxiang's various shirks, and he would not send troops on time, after all, it was a hostile relationship before, and it was normal for people to have scruples. Although he personally ordered and made certain guarantees, but the army moved, Mu Tianxiang casually found a reason, and there was nothing to say here.
"How many people are here?" did Mu Tianxiang come personally?" asked Zhuge Hongyun.
"The army is divided into two routes, with a total of 800,000 people, and Mu Tianxiang led 30,000 pro-army troops, set off in advance, and it is estimated that it will arrive in the afternoon. "Someone has come to report.
"Okay, I said earlier, Mu Tianxiang is a person with a sense of the overall situation, and he doesn't care about personal gains and losses, 800,000 people, it can be said that he has done his best," Zhuge Hongyun said loudly.
"The young master is wise!" everyone agreed.
Zhuge Hongyun sent Mu Tianxiang to come, and also investigated Mu Tianxiang, but he was surprised after the investigation, Mu Tianxiang's amazing record was so dazzling, so he transferred Mu Tianxiang over regardless of everyone's opposition. Mu Tianxiang did not disappoint Zhuge Hongyun, and set off without the slightest hesitation after receiving the order. What a talent. Zhuge Hongyun praised in his heart.
It turned out that everyone was still worried that Mu Tianxiang would not send troops to support at all, or that Mu Tianxiang sent troops over, remembering the old hatred and old hatred, and rebelling on the battlefield, then it would be a lot of fun. Now that Mu Tianxiang arrived in advance with only 30,000 people alone, all the worries would not exist.
Maybe compared to the more than 5 million people on the front line now, Mu Tianxiang's 800,000 people may not be much, but Zhuge Hongyun is optimistic about Mu Tianxiang's battlefield command ability, after all, he is really not good at this side, after a few battles, Zhuge Hongyun's pride has been completely dispersed. I thought it was just that, but I was always in a hurry to command.
"It seems that there is still a difference between the battle between the secular and the battle between the monks," Zhuge Hongyun also sighed.
Just after the afternoon, Mu Tianxiang led the army to the front of the army.
"Tianxiang, it's finally here, I'm relieved. Zhuge Hongyun ignored the opposition of others and personally welcomed him out of the barracks.
"It's over. Mu Tianxiang hurriedly dismounted. For Zhuge Hongyun to personally welcome the army out of the barracks, Mu Tianxiang was also unexpected, it seems that Zhuge Hongyun is not a person with a small belly, Mu Tianxiang is also very pleased, after all, it is a taboo in the army if the commander is not in harmony.
"Let's go...... The banquet has already been set up in the big tent, and the general is waiting. Zhuge Hongyun affectionately took Mu Tianxiang's arm and said.
"The young master is polite," Mu Tianxiang also said in a good manner, acknowledging Zhuge Hongyun's identity.
The reception banquet is a joy for both guests and hosts!
"Tianxiang. Now that the battle situation is unfavorable, do you have any good suggestions?" Remove the banquet and put the generals in their places, Zhuge Hongyun asked.
Mu Tianxiang also learned on the way to come, the current situation is not optimistic, although the number of people on both sides is about the same, but one side has been fighting and the morale of the other side has been greatly boosted, and the other side has been defeated in successive battles, and the army's morale is weakened, and it will collapse at the first touch.
"Let's see what this is?" Mu Tianxiang took out an item from the storage bag. Mu Tianxiang also has a storage ring, but he didn't reach the Xuan level, so he couldn't use it, so he had to use the storage bag in shame.
"Reversi?" everyone was puzzled.
"Yes, it's Reversi. Mu Tianxiang said. In fact, it is also Go, but the name and rules are slightly different from Mu Tianxiang's previous life, but the principle is the same, in this world, it is also popular with everyone, and Zhuge Hongyun is also one of the masters. Mu Tianxiang had also investigated beforehand.
"Will Elder Yang go down?" Mu Tianxiang said to a Tianji master, and during the banquet, Zhuge Hongyun also introduced Mu Tianxiang. Mu Tianxiang will at least call the wrong person now.
"Yes, but not very proficient. Elder Yang didn't know why, so he had to say modestly, in fact, his chess strength was still good.
"Can you win the young master in this way?" Mu Tianxiang spread out the chessboard, placing a black and a white on the opposite corner of the chessboard, and asked.
"I can't win, the young master's chess strength is profound, and the old man is willing to worship below. Yang Chang told the truth.
"What about this?" Mu Tianxiang put the sunspot again, which is equivalent to letting a son.
"Still won't work!"
"What about that?" Mu Tianxiang put another sunspot.
"Let's put it this way, the young master let the fourth son, I can fight!" Elder Yang felt that Mu Tianxiang's problem was unknown, and now was the critical moment to discuss the battle situation, what kind of chess to say, said impatiently.
Zhuge Hongyun also felt inexplicable, but subconsciously thought that Mu Tianxiang must have a deep meaning, so he didn't stop it.
"The battle is like a chess game!" Mu Tianxiang said, putting away the chessboard.
"Tianxiang, you talk to everyone in detail!" Zhuge Hongyun said.
"Okay, although we have failed one after another in front of us, and we have lost some people, but I don't think it's a big deal, but I can see that everyone's morale is low, as if the sky is falling, the banquet just now is exquisite, and watching you is like chewing vinegar, I think it's very strange and very incomprehensible. Mu Tianxiang said.
"Now the battle has just begun, although we have lost a few battles, lost some soldiers and lost some cities. But this is like when playing chess, Young Master Zhuge just let Elder Yang a few sons, who can say that Young Master Zhuge will not be able to achieve the final victory. The beginning is very crucial, but it is often the battle in the middle of the game that determines the outcome of the game, and even the final end. I think everyone knows that. ”
"So we don't need to care about the defeat in front of us, we still have five million troops now, and the monks and the bloodthirsty sect are not much different, how can we say that we will definitely lose, now the battlefield is in the Chishui country, here we occupy the time, place, and people, I think the situation is very good, don't you think so?" Mu Tianxiang said loudly.
"Well, speaking of which, this is what I have always wanted to say, as long as everyone works together, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated. Zhuge Hongyun said loudly. Although he also knows that Mu Tianxiang is arguing with strong words, the truth is always correct, the military spirit at this time is very important, and Zhuge Hongyun is also very clear about this.
