Chapter 169: The Moon is Dark and the Wind is High

Just when everyone was discussing the next action, Tan Ma suddenly reported outside the tent: "Report ...... Marshal, urgent military report! ”

"Come in!"

The horse galloped into the tent, knelt on the ground and said, "Xiruo Zandra led the men and horses to camp in the mountains. ”

Gao Yun asked, "How many people?" ”

"Roughly speaking, there are 60,000 people."

Gao Yun frowned and glanced at Lu Zuo, "I didn't expect Xiruo Zanzhuo to be able to gather 50,000 horses in such a short period of two days!" ”

Lu Zuo pondered: "It is very difficult for him to gather the troops of the whole country at once, thinking that these 60,000 horses are already all the troops near Wuhai, once these tens of thousands of horses are defeated, Dafan will also have to be convinced." ”

Lu Xiuyuan asked, "Then will they stay still and wait for other reinforcements in the country?" And then wait for us to break us? ”

"Probably not, so they will take more risks, you must know that Xiruo Zanzhuo has been wiped out in Shanzhou, if the whole country is used to fight with us, then Dafan will also be afraid of the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches." Lu Zuodao.

"You mean the yellow finch of the beggar country?"

Lu Zuo nodded, "So the first thing they want to pull into the water right now is the Beggar Pagoda Country." ”

An Shiqing said: "Then if according to what the predecessors said just now, the Beggar Kingdom will definitely not come to the rescue, so it means that they have to be isolated this time?" ”

"It stands to reason that it should be true." Lu Zuo said, "It is estimated that Xiruo Zanzhuo should also think of this, so he will definitely seek a quick solution." ”

Lu Xiuyuan said otherwise: "That's not necessarily, right now we are going deep into Dafeichuan, if the other party uses a delaying tactic, then it will be very unfavorable to us." After all, our logistical supply lines are too long, and it is we who want a quick solution. ”

Lu Zuo said: "But they also need to fight quickly, and there is a good chance that they will come to attack the camp tonight." ”

"Zor, why are you so determined?"

Lu Zuo frowned, it felt like he was confident, but it was like letting go, and at that moment, except for Lu Xiuyuan, no one else could see that he was abnormal. Then he smiled and said, "Because of the lessons of the previous car......"

Everyone was half-understood, Huo Jin had already heard enough of their noise, "Say that those useless things, since they may attack the camp at night, then we have to arrange the men and horses now!" ”

Qin Fu pointed at Huo Jin and joked: "Huo Jin, I didn't expect you, a hairy boy, Jing'an, to have such a mind. ”

The crowd laughed. Huo Jin pouted, "What are you laughing at?" Am I not right? ”

The mountain is located between Dafeichuan and Wuhai City, bypassing the rugged mountain, you can point directly to Wuhai City, so Xiruo Zanzhuo will gather people and horses to intercept in the mountain in a short period of time, to prevent the Han army from crossing the mountain, so as not to Wuhai directly exposed to the Han army, the reason why he chose to camp in the mountain, the most important point is that if the country of Qita is willing to send troops, here in the mountain can soon wait for reinforcements, so as early as the day of the defeat of Shanzhou, Xiruo Zanzhuo has already sent people to ask for help from the country of Qita, so he is not in a hurry to attack, The only thing he had to do at the moment was to wait for news from the Beggar Country.

After waiting for a day, Xiruzandra was already impatient, and the messenger sent out should have returned at noon today, but it was already evening, which gave Shiruozandro, who was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, a headache. He began to stand up uneasily, pacing back and forth in the tent, looking at the generals present all hanging their heads listlessly, the ignorance karmic fire in his heart intensified, and he said angrily: "You rice buckets, won't you help think of a way?" ”

The air in the camp instantly froze, so the people held their breath, their faces flushed, and they wanted to get through a crack in the ground and quickly escape from here, they also understood that the marshal really lost his mind this time, the commander who was calm and calm in the past, because of this failure, really made him angry, if he offered words and suggestions now, it was okay to meet his heart, if it was not in line with his heart, then in exchange for a scolding, so everyone would rather endure the boss's criticism together, rather than be scolded.

"You group of corpses and vegetarian food sacs and rice bags, you are powerful and blessed on weekdays, but when you really go to the battlefield, you will be dumb one by one!" Xiruo Zandra then looked up to the sky and sighed, "Hey...... If the Gar is still there, I will be more than that! ”

"Report ......"

But hearing the shouting of people outside the tent, Xiruo Zanzhuo's heart moved, thinking that the messenger sent out had returned, and he was both excited and worried, "Come in!" ”

The messenger ran to the tent, knelt in the center, and replied: "Marshal, your word has arrived, but ......"

Xi Ruozanzhuo's brows tightened, "But what? ”

"But they don't want to send troops!"

"What?" Glaring, Hirozandro ran to the messenger, leaned over and grabbed him by the collar, and asked, "What did you tell the people that they wouldn't send troops?" ”

The messenger trembled, clasped his fists in both hands, and said, "Small...... Just do what you tell you to say! As long as the Han army is repulsed, Shanzhou and Lanzhou will be recovered with them, and the time will be paid every year, and the benefits will be shared equally! ”

"And what did their marshal do to you?"

"Their marshal said that we broke our trust in the past and took Shanzhou, deliberately excused ourselves, and never fulfilled our promise."

"When they replied to this, didn't Ben Shuai ask you to answer them: Wasn't it because the Han army was going to send reinforcements to wait for the Han army to be repelled before dividing up?"

"My subordinates did as you commanded!" The messenger trembled, "They say we're treating them like three-year-olds, and they say they won't fall for us again!" ”

Xiruo Zandra was silent for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand and muttered, "How can this be true, I think the beggars are tired and crooked. Then he asked the messenger, "Did the Han army also send a messenger to lobby the beggar country?" ”

The messenger frowned, "Back to Marshal, no?" ”

"Are you sure?"

"My subordinates are sure, I also went to ask the confidant of the marshal of the Qita country, so I dare to be sure that there is not, even if there is, it may not have arrived yet."

"Whether there is or not, it doesn't matter to us anymore. Stand down! ”

At this moment, there was a dead silence in the tent, everyone was expecting the messenger to bring back a good news, hoping to let the coach dissipate his anger, but he didn't expect to wait for a bad news, this news is now tantamount to a bolt from the blue for everyone, but just when everyone thought that the coach would be furious, Xiruo Zanzhuo laughed out loud uncharacteristically, and the generals present looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

Xiruo Zanzhuo sat back on the throne thoughtfully, with a fierce glint in his eyes, and said: "When I clean up the Han army, I have to destroy the Qita Kingdom." After a moment's silence, "Since they don't want to send troops, we can't wait." It looks like we have to do something tonight. ”

One of his subordinates hurriedly asked, "Marshal, what do you mean ......?"

Shirozandra stood up, paced to the gate of the camp, and looked at the night outside the tent, the moon was dark and the wind was high tonight, and it seemed that the time was right, and he secretly resolved in his heart to turn back.
