Chapter 55: Arriving at Dongxun Jiujiang County
After the Kumu group encountered an accident on that day, the journey of the group became slow, anyway, in the past few days, Zhou Wangye also passed them an envelope, and Zhou Wangye told them in the letter that the journey did not need to be in a hurry.
He has already gathered almost seven or eight thousand militia one after another, and the assembly line from the Ministry of Industry has almost forged that batch of armaments, and it is already on the way to Shangzhou.
In this way, the prince of Zhou has about 20,000 soldiers in his hands at this time, although it is still a little insufficient, but what the prince of Zhou means is to let them slow down their speed and enter the country of Dongxun a few days later.
In the letter, Zhou Wangye also briefly explained the reason, it turned out that Zhou Wangye had heard of the magic of those divination techniques in Dongxun as early as when he was young, so he was afraid that Kumu and a few of them rushed from Nanli to Dongxun in such a hurry, I am afraid that they will be calculated by those divination masters in Dongxun, which is not very good for the war situation.
Although Kumu himself felt that Zhou Wangye's worries were a little too redundant, he finally decided to obey Zhou Wangye's wishes.
Anyway, it's good to be safe, now it seems that the situation in Zhou Wangye has improved a little, and his party can go to Dongxun like a normal refugee, which seems more normal.
Another point is that Zhou Wang Ye also assigned them the task of the first trip in the letter.
That is, after they arrived in Dongxun, they would check in advance who the supreme commander of the Dongxun side was in charge of this battle, and get as much personal information about that person as they could.
Although Dongxun has always been Dongxun's shortcoming in terms of military commander, Zhou Dunyi is not the kind of arrogant person who is blindly confident in his own strength, after all, Dongxun's military strength in this battle is far more than these bad cards in his hand, and the two armies have not yet been in contact, so he still wants to know the information of Dongxun's commander first.
Starting with that guy's hand, this battle should be a little easier to win.
Yes, that's right, it's just easier, although Zhou Dunyi is not so arrogant, but his belief in whether he can win Dongxun has always been that he can win, and he never thought that he would lose.
Zhou Dunyi himself felt that the outcome of this battle was nothing more than two things.
The first is to find the flaws of the commander of Dongxun, just like the previous time when the alliance of the countries was broken outside Jinling City, and annihilated the power of Dongxun in a battle with the lowest losses of his own.
As for the second type, that is, the guy on the opposite side, Zhou Dunyi, couldn't find any flaws, defended first, and then slowly laid out, and finally after the large losses of these troops under his command, he narrowly defeated Dongxun in a bloody battle.
Zhou Dunyi has always been inclined to achieve the first ending by himself, because in that case, he can organize his army and go directly to the Western Theater after he has eliminated Dongxun, and meet the black-robed saint monarch with the old commander of the Bai family for a while.
The black-robed Saint Monarch's record is almost the same as him, almost carved out of a mold.
First of all, both of them became famous in the first battle, and the second two of them became famous in the last battle of the alliance of the countries to defeat Nanli, and the only regret of the two is that the two did not face each other in that battle.
Although the black-robed Saint Monarch was also given the title of Xikun Military God afterwards, it didn't take long for the news to spread that the black-robed Saint Monarch had died under the sword of the wind.
After ten years, the black-robed Holy Monarch appeared in Xikun Kingdom again, and as soon as he appeared in everyone's field of vision, he was in charge of Xikun Kingdom's battle commander for Nanli.
Zhou Dunyi was very eager to fight this guy from the bottom of his heart, and when the two armies faced each other, he defeated this guy and let the world know that he was the military god of this era.
Kumu Jian raised his eyebrows, they had just entered the Jiujiang County of the Eastern Xun Kingdom last night, and their group found that the enthusiasm of the Eastern Xun Kingdom for this battle was a little too high along the way.
According to the information obtained by Jinling, it has only been a month since the day when the Eastern Xun Kingdom decided to participate in this battle.
But the speed of mobilization is a little too fast.
Jiujiang County is not a county near the south of the Eastern Xun Kingdom, but at this time, Jiujiang County has become a little cold everywhere along the way, and there are a lot fewer people on the streets.
The most I have seen along the way in the past few days is not those caravans coming and going, but the armies escorting grain and grass one after another.
There must be something strange about this!
Kumu glanced at Suddenly, and saw that Suddenly, Laugh was also looking at him at this time, his eyes were solemn, and it seemed that Suddenlyxiao also realized that something was wrong with this.
So he suddenly smiled and approached Kumu and asked in a whisper to Kumu
"Do you have any opinions? The geographical location of the Eastern Xun Kingdom is not like that of the Central Plains countries, and most of them are flat, and the speed at which they escort grain and grass is absolutely impossible to be that large. ”
Kumu nodded with an ugly expression, then thought about it, and glanced out the window.
They only came to the county seat of Jiujiang County yesterday to find an inn to live in, and they had already asked Su Jixiao to get a map of the Eastern Xun Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Kumu hooked his hand towards a sudden smile and said
"What about the map? Spread out on the table. ”
Suddenly, Xiao hurriedly got up and walked to the luggage next to the black thirteen who had fallen on the bed and snored for a while, and finally took out a map from there not long after, carefully spread it out on the table, and sighed with both hands, and responded to Kumu
"The weather in this Dongxun is really cold, give, this map was also stolen from a county in the Dongxun country a few days ago, the scale and geography on it should be quite accurate, you see, is the speed of their Dongxun country a little unbelievable."
After Kumu heard the sudden laughter and stole the map from the county office, he glanced at this guy blankly.
This guy is really good at finding a place to steal a map, and these people were originally spies sent by Nanli to spy on the military intelligence, according to normal thinking, after entering Dongxun, you have to be more low-key and low-key, this guy is good, just go to the county government and steal a map out, I'm really afraid that people don't know or what?
But although he thought so in his heart, Kumu felt that since he dared to steal a map from the county office, he would definitely do some backhand, this guy is not so stupid.
So after Kumu stretched out his finger and compared it on the map for a while, his face became a little ugly.
"According to the news from the intelligence office of Jinyiwei in the Eastern Xun Kingdom in previous years, the grain and grass of the Eastern Xun Kingdom are generally escorted to Chengdu City, Kyoto, at the end of each year, and there is only about two years of grain storage except for some border counties. The source of their grain and grass escort team should be Chengdu City, yes. ”
After listening to Kumu say these words, he kneaded his palm on his chin, and after thinking for a while, he continued to ask suspiciously
"Na Na Na, Chengdu City should be thousands of miles away from the border counties between Dongxun and my south, right? If this matter had been decided a month ago, it would have been impossible for the winding road of the Eastern Xun Kingdom to be sent to Jiujiang County in a month's time, absolutely impossible. ”
Kumu also felt that what he said with a sudden smile was right, and nodded subconsciously, so the two of them began to think, why is the speed of Dongxun so unbelievable this time, even if they are transferred to the battlefield of the two places at this time, the grain and grass that they are transferred to the two places at this time should only be almost there, and the grain and grass in Nanli are all transferred nearby, how did he Dongxun do it so quickly? “
And Zhou Budo, who had been hanging aside by the two for a long time, smacked his lips, and after a sigh, he looked down on the IQ of the two, lay his head on the table, and said to the two
"Aren't you two stupid, can't Dongxun transfer grain and grass from the county near the battlefield and send it over first? Anyway, after the fact, you only need to transfer the grain and grass from Chengdu to those counties. ”
"That's right."
Suddenly laughed and clapped his hands
How did I become a little inflexible, wasn't I quite shrewd in the past?
Why is it that now even a little kid can figure out what he and Kumu can't think of.
Tsk tsk
It is estimated that he has been with the black thirteen fool for a long time, and he has been infected with stupidity, otherwise how could his brain not understand this matter?
And Kumu on the side, a little funny, looked at the funny clown's posture and said mercilessly
"But Jin Yiwei's intelligence last year said that there were floods in several border counties of Dongxun last year, and the crops were destroyed in one fell swoop, and there was almost no harvest in a year. Why is your person in charge of the gold division not as good as Jinyi Wei Lingtong? ”
Qi Wuxian, who had just pushed the door and entered the room on the side, heard this, and was immediately happy, although he didn't know what was going on, but he still raised his hands in favor of the matter of mocking and laughing.
So, Qi Wuxian looked at the sudden smile with a mocking face, although he didn't make a sound, but the expression on his face was a little itchy when he saw the sudden laughter.
After Zhou Budo finished explaining the things just now to Qi Wuxian, Qi Wuxian slapped his thigh, sat on the chair, glanced at Suddenly Laughing with some pride, and saw that Suddenly's face became iron-blue, Qi Wuxian spoke
"Don't think about it so much, I just came back from a contact point of our Jinyi Wei in the Dongxun Intelligence Bureau in Jiujiang County, about the things you said that have nothing to do with the overall situation, those guys have already explained to me, don't think too much, the source of grain and grass transferred by Dongxun this time is indeed Chengdu City, it's just that they deliberately left the war against us long before they were about to form an alliance with Xikun State."
Kumu nodded thoughtfully, he has been thinking a little too much recently, always thinking about some and not, indeed, there is nothing to think about in this matter, anyway, his party will complete the task assigned by Prince Zhou first.
So, Kumu looked at Qi Wuxian.
The corners of Qi Wuxie's mouth rose slightly, and he proudly took out a note from his arms and threw it on the table casually.
