Chapter 275: Determined to Lead the Troops
Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Yun Ruochen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly, "Okay." ”
After Chu Xiaoxiao and Yun Ruochen stayed outside for more than half an hour, the two left.
After all, Yun Ruochen has just recovered from a serious illness now, and he is already weak and afraid of cold, if he is blown out of any illness by the cold wind in the northwest, it will really outweigh the losses.
After returning to the mansion where Yun Ruochen temporarily lived, he happened to meet Yao Ai who came over suddenly.
Looking at Yao Ai, who was waiting in the front hall, Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't know why General Yao came?"
At this time, in front of Yun Ruochen, Yao Ai only dared to stare at Chu Xiaoxiao secretly, and said with a light snort: "You are so passive and slacking off, General Ben can't come to take a look?"
Saying that, Yao Ai looked at Yun Ruochen and Chu Xiaoxiao's appearance with a spring breeze on their faces now, and couldn't help but "tsk" twice.
Sure enough, it's a fight at the head of the bed, a fight at the end of the bed and......
A few days ago, Yao Ai really thought that these two people were over like this.
After all, Chu Xiaoxiao even cut half of her hair, and Yun Ruochen almost fell seriously ill because of this.
But now, it's much better than before.
Before this, Yao Ai really couldn't imagine what Yun Ruochen would become if the relationship between Chu Xiaoxiao and Yun Ruochen really ended like this......
Perhaps, if there is no Chu Xiaoxiao, it is a question of whether Yun Ruochen can survive this time.
"General Yao can naturally come and see. Chu Xiaoxiao chuckled casually, and then said, "I just don't know, what does General Yao want to see?"
Yao Ai was choked by Chu Xiaoxiao's question, and only said after a while: "The county lord of Huaiyang is afraid that he doesn't know now, the emperor of Dirong Kingdom seems to have the intention of withdrawing his troops, but Helian Feng has been pressing, if we don't move again, Di Rong Kingdom is afraid that it will really have to be withdrawn." ”
"Withdraw?" Chu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes slightly, "Shouldn't it be a peace quest?"
"The county lord doesn't know. ”
Yao Ai laughed helplessly and said, "The Di Rong Kingdom has not been rude in the past dynasties. ”
"How?"
Yao Ai said: "Dirong is a vast and sparsely populated country, and the people live on nomadic hunting, so naturally there is no arable land. Dijon can grab a lot of things when it enters the northwest border, but if our army enters the border of Dijon, it will definitely suffer a loss on the grassland of Dijon country, so even if the Dijon barbarian army is defeated, most of the Dijon barbarian army will withdraw from the border. ”
Hearing Yao Ai's words, Chu Xiaoxiao's face changed.
She finally understands now why her mother was sealed back then, even if she gave up her life, she had to let the Dijon barbarian army go and never return.
As far as Chu Xiaoxiao knew, although Feng Yao was a military general and had great achievements, he did not reach the point of being ruthless.
The burning of 200,000 Dijon barbarian troops is a great achievement, but among scholars, Feng Yao is inevitably criticized for being too brutal.
And now it seems that there is a reason for it.
After all, even if the Dijon barbarian army is defeated, as long as it can withdraw to Dijon country, the Northwest Army will have no way to take them, and within a few years, it will make a comeback.
In this way, the people of the northwest will never be at peace.
And if it is to chase the land of Dijon, it is not realistic.
The Dijon barbarian army is brave and good at fighting, especially the cavalry, but there are still some restrictions between the hills in the northwest, and once they reach the grasslands of Dijon country, their combat effectiveness will inevitably double.
From this point of view, what her mother did back then was the most correct.
After nearly a quarter of an hour, Chu Xiaoxiao exhaled and said slowly, "I know." ”
"Huh?" Yao Ai looked at Chu Xiaoxiao with a puzzled face, and said directly without thinking: "What do you understand? I didn't say anything." ”
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao immediately rolled her eyes at Yao Ai.
"General Yao, can we be honest and sincere?" Chu Xiaoxiao said helplessly: "You just spoke, and the meaning is written on the door of your head, do you think I am blind or my brain is in water?"
Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Yao Ai smiled directly and said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "The county lord of Huaiyang is really smart and extraordinary......
Chu Xiaoxiao said speechlessly: "What my mother could do back then, I can also do it, but ...... I also need General Yao to prepare a few things for me. ”
"Oh?" Yao asked, "What is it?"
Chu Xiaoxiao said: "Saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, oil, and a hundred trustworthy craftsmen. ”
Hearing this, Yao Wei knew that Chu Xiaoxiao was going to do the big killing weapons she had researched again, so she hurriedly said, "There is no problem." ”
Even Yao Ai directly agreed, and Chu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth again and instructed: "I will ask for it tomorrow." ”
Now that the royal court of Dijon has decided to withdraw the army, then their side will be delayed, and it will take a few days to do it at the earliest, and after careful calculation, the construction will start tomorrow at the latest.
Yao Ai naturally knew that this matter was urgent, so he agreed without hesitation, and then hurriedly made preparations.
When Yao Ai left, Yun Ruochen looked at Chu Xiaoxiao again, smiled slightly and said, "It's decided?"
Chu Xiaoxiao blinked, "Didn't I decide a long time ago?"
What Yao Ai said just now was nothing more than to make her speed up her actions.
Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Yun Ruochen slowly shook his head and said with a light smile: "Originally...... Xiaoxiao is hesitant, right?"
For such a long time, Yun Ruochen also thought that he knew Chu Xiaoxiao.
Although Chu Xiaoxiao is an expert in killing, and even Yun Ruochen is inferior to himself, Yun Ruochen knows that Chu Xiaoxiao is not a person who is addicted to killing.
Originally, to annihilate all the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Dirong Kingdom, Chu Xiaoxiao was actually hesitant, or rather, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't really want to do this in her heart, but just subconsciously considered the simplest and most direct method.
Chu Xiaoxiao paused, the smile on her face disappeared a little, and then she said to Yun Ruochen helplessly: "Are you the roundworm in my stomach?"
Yun Ruochen said: "If Xiaoxiao is unwilling to do it, this king can do it for you." ”
"There you have it. Hearing Yun Ruochen's words, Chu Xiaoxiao was happy, "Do you want everyone to know that your Royal Highness King Jing's martial arts are world-renowned?"
Yun Ruochen has endured it for so many years, naturally he has a last resort, if it is exposed for this little thing, it will really outweigh the losses.
Thinking like this, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't wait for Yun Ruochen to speak, so she said directly: "Don't worry...... I've never fought before, and I haven't seen blood, I haven't killed anyone, so there's nothing to worry about. ”
