Xin Er convened civil and military subordinates overnight and held a military meeting.

Yang Fu, Zhang Gui, Suo Gong, Zhang Shao, Beigong Yue, Yan Xi, Lan Baozhang, Bald Boye, Yin Luo and others passed on the urgent information they had just received.

The information was delivered by scouts sent to the north.

In the direction of Chigu, the capital of Wusun not far from Qiuzi, a large number of Wusun cavalry appeared, and they were traveling day and night, rushing to the capital of Qiuzi.

Qiuzi and Wusun have a close relationship, and there are marriages between the royal family from time to time, and Wusun may help Qiuzi, which is estimated by Xin Er and others.

It is precisely because of this that Xin Er will send scouts to the junction of Qiuzi and Wusun.

However, the number of reinforcements from Wusun State was beyond the expectations of Xin Er and others.

The scouts are estimated to be no less than 100,000 riders.

In the Western Regions alone, Wusun is a powerful country. As early as the middle of the Qin Dynasty, Wusun was the object of the Qin Dynasty, and Qin attacked the Xiongnu with it. After the Xiongnu suffered a heavy blow, Wusun was able to become stronger, and at that time he had more than 600,000 mouths and nearly 200,000 victorious soldiers, and was the strongest overlord in the Western Regions. It was only later that there was a civil strife in the Wusun Kingdom, and their king was called "Kunmi", which originally had only one king, but was divided into two parts, so there were two kings, the first "Great Kunmi" and the first "Little Kunmi".

Now, within the territory of the old country of Little Kunmi, a new country has emerged, called "Yueban".

There are already many races in the Western Regions, and the nomadic races in Mobei either moved in voluntarily or came to the west after defeat, and there are many mixed in them, and the ethnic composition of this region is very complicated. What kind of origin of this Yueban is the rest of the Xiongnu is the Dayue clan, or the combination of the Mobei race and the Wusun people, or it is simply still the Wusun people, but it is not clear if it is called the Tang people.

Yue's clan source can't figure it out, but the Wusun cavalry that came to the aid of Qiuzi will come soon, but it is real and there is no doubt.

And according to the careful observation of the scouts, it seems that not only the Wusun cavalry came to help, but also had a happy banner. Yue Pan is also a large tribe with a large population, and it is not surprising that the two countries can join forces and produce 100,000 horsemen.

Yang Chao and others read the military situation.

Beigong Yue frowned, and said, "Wusun, Yue's reinforcements have reached 100,000, and the cavalry turtles have promised them what benefits are this, although the soldiers of Hu Lu are grazing in peacetime, and bend the bow in wartime, they are more sophisticated and sharp, not as good as our army, but they are overwhelming, and the defenders of Qiuzi are almost five or six times more than my general, this battle is not easy to fight." ”

Zhang Shao no longer asked for the enthusiasm of the war during the day, and became sad, but the action of soothing his abdomen did not change, he rubbed his round belly, and said, "General, Wusun and Yueban are both powerful countries in the Western Regions, and they are similar to the northern captives, and they are also mainly nomadic and skilled in riding and shooting. 100,000 cavalry is not to be underestimated, and their armor is different from ours, they are clothed with chain mail, and the spears and arrows used by our army are not easy to penetrate. Looking at Xin Er's look, he said in a slurred manner, "The last general is foolish, it is better to avoid his edge for the time being"

Xin Er said in his heart, "What is the temporary avoidance of its front, Lao Zhang, this is a retreat," remained silent, and said with a smile, "Chain mail doesn't need to worry too much." ”

"What did the general say about this?"

"Before coming to the Western Regions, I had expected that Wusun might come to the rescue of Qiuzi. Sima Tang Ai, the right of the governor's mansion, gave me a plan, which can be used to break its chain mail by hooking the lock. My tribe has learned this method when he was in the royal capital; During the march, every camp, the drill never stopped, and now I have been trained."

Zhang Shao suddenly realized, and said, "It turns out that the general has already had a countermeasure" and gave a thumbs up and praised, "The general's foresight, the last general admires"

Xin Er asked Suo Gong and the others, and said, "What do you see?"

Where would Suo Gong and Yin Luo be afraid of a hundred thousand enemy horses

Suo Gong said heroically, "Although the captives are crowded, to congratulate them, the meat on the anvil is also waiting for the captives to ride, and the last general dares to fight first"

Or ask to be the first strike.

Yin Luo blinked, as if thinking about something, and didn't speak immediately.

After a while, he thought about it, and said slowly, "General, the subordinate has a strategy, and there is no return for the captive horse."

Xin Er asked, "What is the strategy?"

"Twelve words are just a wide range of suspicious soldiers, gathering the main force, and looking for opportunities for a decisive battle."

Xin Er immediately understood what he meant.

The wide selection of suspicious soldiers is not a bluff, but a way to prevent the enemy from touching the location of the main forces of his own army.

Yin gathers the main force, which means secretly transferring the main force to various suitable combat positions.

Looking for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle, what is said is that when everything is ready, when the enemy attacks our suspicious soldiers, the main force will cover the attack and kill, and win the battle in one battle.

Xin Er said in his heart: "I have read military books and classics for more than a year, combined with a little understanding of the combat style of that heroic unit in my previous life, and I have a three-point understanding of the so-called war.

In the final analysis, in all wars, where is the key to victory or defeat, first of all, is to understand the enemy's situation, and secondly, on the basis of understanding the enemy's situation, how to flexibly use one's own forces, that is, how to use our superiority to attack the enemy's emptiness, as long as we can do this, we will win all battles, and it is not empty talk

"Yin Luo's strategy, carefully study its meaning, it is precisely to use my strength, attack the enemy's weakness, and secretly combine the art of war, which is really clever."

He was overjoyed and said, "The last time you made a strategy, you broke Shanshan with a backhand; This time, I have entered this clever strategy, and Wusun will be defeated."

Zhang Shaojiu Zhen Gaochang, familiar with Wusun and Yueban, although he has heard that Xin Er has a way to break the chain mail, and heard that Yin Luo is this strategy, he is still a little apprehensive. His eyes flickered, he secretly looked at everyone present, and had the heart to speak again and persuade Xin Er to retreat temporarily.

Xin Er saw his thoughts, and said in his heart, "At this time, I should strengthen the army's heart"

Zhang Shao was not given a chance to speak again.

Xin Er stood up, looked around the tent with a knife, and said generously, "The domain is the meaning of the territory; Those who are in the Western Regions are also the western soil of the country. From Qin to the present, the Western Regions have been to me for more than 500 years, and this is the reason why my Xia people are also rebellious, and I do not obey the king's teaching.

He slowed down his tone, took out a sincere tone of using facts to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us, and then analyzed it for everyone and said, "Gentlemen, the Qin people have said that I am a soldier of China, and one can be a prisoner. Today, the battalions of our army have a total of more than 20,000 and more than 100,000 prisoners.

Xin Er laughed at the civil and military people in Gu Tang, and said, "When you defeat Wusun and Yue's captives, and defeat the Qiuzi King City, I will go to the court to ask for merit for the kings" He laughed out loud.

Zhang Gu asked, "Why is Ming Gong laughing?"

Xin Er pointed to the Qiuci King City outside the tent, and said with a smile, "The Qiuci City is quite strong, and I am worried that if it is attacked, it may be more troublesome." I didn't expect Wusun and Yue-like soldiers to come to the aid of Qiuzi, but now it can be solved in the field" The attitude was wide-eyed, and asked Suo Gong, Zhang Shao, Beigong Yue, Yan Xi, Lan Baozhang, and Bald Boye, and said, "In the decisive battle in Japan, who can take the head of Wusun and Yueban for me"

The troops under the command of these people are either all cavalry or the elite of cavalry, which will be the main force in the field.

All the people bowed down in unison, and they all said, "The last general will sacrifice the head of the thief before the general's seat."

The minds of the generals were stabilized, and no one mentioned retreating.

When everyone said goodbye and left, Xin Er sat alone in the tent, Shicai's confidence disappeared on his face, and his expression gradually became solemn.

He drew his saber and placed it on the desk.

The knife is three feet seven inches long, blue and black, and the inscription is engraved on the body of the knife in official script.

The candlelight is bright, reflected on the inscription, and there are only two words, which are called "Zhuyi".

This knife was given to him by Zuo on the day of his expedition.

Xin Er gently rubbed the hilt of the knife, remembering that day, Zuo took Ling Hule's little hand and sent him out of the city.

Zuo was dressed up, her forehead was dyed yellow, her eyebrows were yellow, her scarlet lips were upturned, and although she smiled, Xin Er could see her worry in her black jewel-like eyes. Xin Er bowed down and said to her calmly: "Queen Mother, please wait for the good news from the ministers when you come in autumn." ”

Zuo's rare disregard for the left and right eunuchs, helped him up with his own hands, his eyes rolled, and he whispered, "The general must return safely"

In the night-covered fortress of ten thousand armies, inside the tent, under the candlelight.

Xin Er put the treasure knife back into the sheath, carefully put it back on his waist, raised his eyes to look at the map of the Western Regions hanging on the tent wall, reviewed the experience since he came to this world, thought of the war-torn Northland and the Central Plains, and muttered, "Life is like sailing against the current." Since I have come here, I must not only return to the court safely, but also return with meritorious deeds that can make me powerful in the country."
