Chapter 297: What Are You Afraid of?
The army did not go far, and when it reached Balipo, it stopped and began to prepare for stationing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When the soldiers were busy with their work, Mu Yubai and the others were not idle. A dozen generals got together to discuss what to do next.
"I discussed it with Yubai and prepared to divide the troops into three ways." After looking at Mu Yubai for a while, Duan Ang began to speak: "Stay all the way to the courtesy, go to the various Hu tribes in the south, and persuade them to surrender one by one?" ”
"Persuasion?" Long Yong frowned: "They have always been in cahoots with Rong Di, how could they surrender to Dasheng before the big war?" ”
"It's just that the big war is coming." Mu Yubai replied: "After just two years of frost, Rong Di cannot support this protracted war with either military strength or financial resources, and the same is true for the Hu tribes. Didn't they stand still for so long just to weigh which of Dasheng and Rong Di was higher or lower? ”
Northern Xinjiang is vast, in addition to the yellow sand and green grasslands, there are countless nomadic people living here, among which the most powerful and fierce is undoubtedly Rong Di, the other tribes are collectively called Hu Bu, and the elders are elected by the eight larger tribes, called the Eight Great Hu.
Mu Yubai suggested that the people who should be persuaded to surrender were these eight big hus, as long as they were willing to submit to Dasheng and be Dasheng's vassals. It is equivalent to this battle, they have already taken the southern side of Northern Xinjiang in advance.
"What about the second way?" Someone then asked.
"The second way is the main army guarding here, facing Rong Di's attack." Duan Ang picked up the topic and continued: "And the third way, which is also the most difficult way, needs to bypass the vast desert in the west and raid Gao Xun's base camp - Yunquan!" ”
"What! In the uninhabited area to the west, even the Rongdi people dare not set foot easily, how can they ......?"
"This is the only way to do it!" Mu Yu raised his voice suddenly, and two sharp eyes shot out from those clear eyes, making everyone's expressions look awe-inspiring.
This slender woman is getting more and more general-like.
"If you want to solve Rong Di's big problem in one fell swoop, you can only do this!"
"How many people do you want to bring? Who leads the way? Xu An, who was silent, suddenly opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice, he looked Mu Yubai up and down, looking at this woman who was wrapped in a thick white fur, standing with her back straight in this battlefield that should only belong to hot-blooded men, with an unquestionable firmness in her expression.
"Up to 30,000 people can be sent." Duan Ang and Mu Yubai answered the question one-on-one: "There are twenty days to cross the uninhabited desert in the west, as for the ...... who leads the team"
Speaking of this, the man paused, and turned his face to look at Mu Yubai with disbelief in his eyes: "Are you sure you want to choose him?" ”
"Yes." Mu Yubai nodded and said firmly: "Let Murong Feng take these 30,000 people with him." ”
When the name was announced, everyone present was stunned.
"Girl, you're crazy! Do you know that this is a lot of bad luck, you have already been a widow once, is it possible that you want to be a second time! The first to jump out was indeed Long Yong, his voice was very loud, and the soldiers who were close to him were attracted by his loud voice.
"Other soldiers also have wives and children, and they are also raised by their parents, why can they go, but Murong Feng can't go? Old General Long, I know that you feel sorry for me, but you must not forget, this is the northern frontier, the battlefield, and here, and Murong Feng is a soldier, from the day he joined the army, he should be ready to contribute everything to the motherland, including his life. As his wife, I can't delay state affairs because of my own selfish feelings. Although the northern expedition of the army was not a crisis, it was related to the safety of tens of thousands of civilians in northern Xinjiang. We are supported by the state, and every grain of rice we eat is the result of the hard work of the people. It is not expected by the saints, nor can it live up to the trust of the people. Now that the war has entered a critical place, in order to live up to the saint and the people, Murong Feng must go this time. ”
Mu Yubai's words were sonorous and powerful, and the lazy expression in the past also converged, turning into indescribable seriousness.
"Why are you doing this...... Duan Ang, who knew the joints, sighed, whispered in Mu Yubai's ear, and then said to the generals: "Miss Mu understands the righteousness, and Duan deeply admires it. ”
"Girl, girl!" Long Yong knocked his armor with a pair of iron fists, his eyebrows and eyes were unbearable and distressed, he couldn't bear to watch Murong Feng go to death, and he also felt sorry for Mu Yubai who made such a decision.
This newlywed couple is so easy to achieve positive results, is it possible that they will be separated from heaven and man?!
"Isn't there anyone else?" Someone asked again.
"We've thought a lot about the candidates." At this moment, Mu Yubai was almost expressionless: "But at the same time, it is in line with the generals who are familiar with the northern frontier, who are brave and good at fighting, and have enough physical strength to persist in the desert attack, except for Murong Feng, there is no second choice." He is originally from the Yue Clan, and he has grown up in this desert since he was a child, and he has a better chance of winning if he is sent to lead the team. ”
The scene fell silent again, seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Mu Yubai gave Duan Ang a look, and the man sighed again: "If the generals have no objections, then arrange it, let the three roads go all the way, and set off today." ”
"Then Murong Feng's ......," someone asked.
"I'll tell." It was Duan Ang who answered, he glanced at Mu Yubai, and then said, "I will also personally lead the army to persuade Ba Dahu." ”
"Never, General Duan!" Hearing this additional news, the generals present were stunned again, and immediately shouted: "You are now the chief general of the Chinese army, how can you easily go into danger!" ”
"Just like Miss Mu said, Murong Feng is the most suitable person to lead his troops to the west, and I am also the one who is most likely to convince Ba Dahu." Duan Ang grinned at Mu Yubai.
This smile is the most silly smile Mu Yubai has seen on a man's face for so long, without the slightest shrewdness in the past, but it makes him more like a flesh-and-blood person.
"Since the motherland needs me, even if I know that I will be sent to death, Duan will not retreat. Besides, all the things in the army, as well as General Xu, the generals, and Miss Mu, even if there is no Duan, it must not have much impact on the army. ”
"But ......"
"Nothing!" Duan Ang waved his hand: "Duan Mou's mind has been decided, you generals don't need to say more, I will take away 10,000 people, plus the 30,000 elite cavalry taken away by the three routes, the troops left here will be weakened a lot, if Rong Di is really a large army to overwhelm the realm, the burden on the generals is only a lot more." ”
Duan Ang's words were at this point, and the faces of everyone present were extremely heavy. This battle was originally intended to chase and suppress Chu Xinghui, but no one expected that it would become a battle with the Rong Di people in the end.
"Are you scared?" When the crowd dispersed, Mu Yubai and Duan Ang faced the barracks and stood side by side, she asked the man.
"Why are you afraid?"
"The Eight Great Hu are not so easy to get along with, they are as crazy as Gao Xun, and after so many years, they have not been able to include them in their pockets? Your life and death are uncertain. ”
"Are you scared then?" Duan Ang did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"It's not that I haven't been a widow, what are you afraid of." Mu Yubai shrugged and smiled indifferently.
"Yes, I have also completed the task of inheriting the lineage for the Guogong Mansion, what am I afraid of?"
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and the laughter became louder and louder, like invisible ripples, fainting little by little in the cold wind of northern Xinjiang.
