In the end, Ran Linde, the counselor of the battalion, was a veteran of the army, and he had cultivated a vicious vision cultivated by many years of fighting, and at the same time, he was in a confidential position to see the overall situation, and put forward the idea of not retreating but advancing on the contrary, and going north to the hinterland of the country, which was ruthless, thoughtful, and to the point, and all the staff officers admired it in their hearts and nodded their heads in agreement. Wang Yi's face tightened, his fingers pressed the marching map, and slowly moved up the Alegu River. Ran Linde said softly beside him: "This picture is not accurate. There are at least 500 miles of river in the north of the Alegu River, and the summer tent of the king of the East Lugu Valley is on the shore of the Gützlele Lake at its source. ”

Wang Yi narrowed his eyes, his dark pupils stared at the map, and the two eager gazes in his eyes seemed to want to rip out the three words "Tu Quanci" that ran through the east and west above the map. After a long time, he slowly exhaled a long breath, stretched out his hand to rub his hot cheeks, and chuckled: "General Linde is an old horse who knows the way, everything is to the point, this plan for going north is meticulous and thorough,......" The sentence "We will implement this strategy" has already reached his mouth, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a red robe on the blade of grass, and how could he forget Princess Changsha when he was suffocated? In an instant, he recalled that before leaving Beijing, the king of Jinan made a special trip to his mansion to see him off, and repeatedly told him in private:

“…… In any case, Changsha cannot afford to make a slight mistake. Remember! Remember! ”

Cousin Chen Huang's demeanor and tone when he spoke at that time were all very solemn, obviously not because he had a deep relationship with the brother and sister of Princess Changsha. But who has such a great ability to let the king of Jinan talk? Apart from......

After thinking about it, his ambition that would be ignited by Ran Linde's words became extremely calm in a blink of an eye, and he made up his mind in an instant, and the safety of Princess Changsha was the first priority! He looked down at the map and pretended to groan, his mind racing to see how he could turn his words around. But he was too full of words just now, and in a hurry he couldn't find a suitable reason to suppress Ran Linde's proposal; I felt that the hot and eager eyes of everyone around me were focused on him, his heart was flustered, his forehead was already sweating slightly, and he buried his head and nodded the name of another general and asked, "...... What does General Wei think? ”

Where could the general surnamed Wei guess Yi Guogong's thoughts, and excitedly pointed to Yutu and said, "General Linde's strategy couldn't be more exquisite. Now that most of the enemy has been dispatched, the rear must be empty, let's kill the past by surprise, this battle can have a six-point chance of winning! ”

"Oh, six points of victory?" Wang Yi pretended to frown and said, "If you gallop a hundred miles and pursue profit, you will become a general; Thousands of miles of running, that is, like the pole of a strong crossbow, must not be able to penetrate Lu Min......"

"General Wang is right,...... the smile on Wang Yi's face has not yet risen, and the general surnamed Wei has already continued his words, "But you can't copy the truth in the book in everything." At present, it is not a question of whether the general will be able to escape, but whether we can run out - we are a lone army behind enemy lines, and there are enemies on the east, west, and south, and we may encounter the enemy at any time in other directions except for the north. Only the north is relatively safe......"

Wang Yi's face turned red, and he glared angrily at General Wei, who was unscrupulous, suppressed the anger in his heart, and interrupted him and said, "What if the enemy's rear is heavily guarded? ”

"If you can win, you will take, and if you can't win, you will escape."

A few generals spoke, and Shang Cheng couldn't interject because of his low position, and wanted to retreat and not get together with these senior generals, but he was tightly surrounded by a circle of staff officers in the middle, so he had to keep squatting by the map and being silent. He pretended to look at the map, and quietly pulled the grass and rubbed out the grass juice to wipe the blood stains on his hands.

Wang Yi's eagle-like sharp eyes stared at him, and asked in a flat tone, "Captain Shang, do you have any high opinions?" ”

Shang Cheng met his gaze and said calmly: "It can't be said to be a high opinion, but it is just a little shallow insight of mine." I don't think we can go north now. Nor can it go west. It is also dangerous to the east. Let's head south. ”

"Why?"

"We've been exposed. Now the enemy is regrouping twenty miles away, and the nearby enemy is sure to converge here. And I am also sure that they have already informed other directions. Shang Cheng also had the idea of "if you can beat him, you can run if you can't fight", and he went north to break through or find an opportunity to poke the enemy twice, but the premise of this idea was that the people of Tuqi did not find him, or they did not pay enough attention to him. Clearly, this plan has now fallen through. "To the north, there are interceptions in front and chasing soldiers in the back, and the farther away from Dazhao, so this road will definitely not work; To the west, the same problem is the same. To the east, although it is said that it is getting closer and closer to the Middle Route Army, but there are enemies everywhere along the way, can they let us go? What's more, there is a food problem when going to the east. ”

"To the south, since you propose to go south, what detailed strategy do you have?"

Shang Cheng shook his head and smiled: "What strategy can I have?" It's not that I'm proposing to break through to the south, it's that the situation forces us to do it. As for the plan...... Now there is no news about the situation, and our eyes are black, so we can only take one step at a time. It would be best to be able to join the Wei division of Shuangma Beach, and if Shuangma Beach is finished, we will have to continue south. ”

An officer interjected and said, "If you can't get to Shuangmatan, you can also go east to Mogan Dazhai." ”

Shang Chengang glanced at the officer with a face, and said with a smile: "Shuangmatan to Mogan is a five-hundred-mile road, how many days do we have to walk?" There is still enemy harassment in the middle of the road, and if you can't beat it, you have to take a detour, how much time will it be delayed? If the situation in Moganzhai changes again during this time, let's go back to Yanshan? The officer was dumbfounded by a barrage of questions. Shang Cheng pointed to the camel and horse team coming from two miles away and said, "We only have three days' food, and the tension point may last for five to seven days." If you can't do it, you can still kill horses and camels, and maybe you can stick to it. ”

After Shang Cheng finished speaking, Wang Yi saw that Wei Ran's two generals nodded slowly, stood up and said, "Okay, just go south!" Pass my order, and the team will assemble immediately......"

Shang Cheng just stood up, and he couldn't help but feel stunned when he heard him give orders without asking for instructions. He glanced at the single sable tail on Wang Yi's head with a stunned face, and subconsciously turned his head to count the mink tails on Chen Zhuguo's skewer and pointed at them one by one in front of the map, why did this young general dare to give military orders in front of General Zhuguo? And Chen Zhuguo's attitude is also very strange, she is indifferent to such a specialty, from beginning to end. He rolled his eyelids and stared at Chen Pu, trying to find some answers from her expression. But he was soon disappointed. There was almost no expression on the girl's face, and she didn't see any shame or anger at all, and she seemed to be accustomed to all this.

Chen Pu also sensed that someone was scrutinizing him, and looked over the way he looked, but saw Shang Cheng's ugly face. Now that his blindfold had been pushed to his forehead, the lower eyelid of his right eye was horribly turned outward, revealing most of his bloodshot white eyeballs; Without the cover, it seems as if the eyeball could fall out of the eye socket at any moment. The eyes of the two people quietly met, and her heart couldn't help but sudden, and she couldn't help but dodge her gaze to the side, and that face was really terrifying...... When she tried to calm down and forced herself to turn her head again, Shang Cheng had already pulled down her blindfold and led several officers over to greet the rear team.

“…… No way. Can't go now. Our soldiers have been fighting all night, and they have long been tired and sleepy, and now they must eat and rest on the spot to nourish their strength, otherwise they will not be able to continue to fight. ”

Wang Yi's knighthood and position are higher than those of General Wei, but now is not the time for the first level to press the first level, not to mention that General Wei still has a reason, so he can't argue. Besides, he also saw dozens of hussar soldiers sitting on the grass, gobbling up the dried meat that had just been handed out to him, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." Send the food down, let the soldiers hurry up to fill their stomachs, and set out in two quarters of an hour. ”

"People can walk, but what about horses? If they don't rest, everyone will have to fold halfway! ”

A trace of unhappiness flashed across Wang Yi's face. The surname Wei doesn't look at what kind of place this is, so he dares to delay the hour here? He forcibly held back the anger in his heart, the corners of his mouth turned downward, and asked with a gloomy face: "If it is according to your idea, what if the enemy on the banks of the Alegu River and the enemy on the west come up together to attack on both sides while the team is resting?" ”

General Wei flinched under Wang Yi's cold gaze, then regained his composure, looked directly at Wang Yi and said: "Even if it is surrounded on all sides, we must first let the soldiers eat and let the horses rest, otherwise how can they fight with the Tujitz people?" ”

Several staff officers said beside him: "General Wang's concern is justified, and we really can't stay here for long." There are at least a thousand enemies left in the Alegu River, and even if only half of them come out, and the east and west sides attack at the same time, our situation will be sinister. And there are two Turquoise rangers nearby, if you pounce on them from all three sides......"

General Wei was about to sneer at him, and Shang Cheng, who was carrying a leather bag to distribute roasted wheat cakes and beef jerky to the officers one by one, did not raise his head and said, "They don't dare." He stuffed food into the hands of the two of them again, and then he found that the surroundings seemed to be quieter suddenly, and when he looked up in surprise, he saw that all the officers' eyes were focused on him, and for a while the second monk was confused, so he joked, "It's useless for you to look at me." That's all the food we snatched at night, and if we want to eat white bread and white bread, I'll talk to the people of Tutu to see if they can take into account our tastes and difficulties, and prepare some ...... for us."

At this moment, where did Wang Yi have the heart to laugh with him, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean when you say they don't dare?" What are the credentials? ”

Shang Cheng handed over his pocket to Wen Mu and asked him to distribute food, and said to Wang Yi: "The rear team has brought the latest news: the enemy on the banks of the Alegu River has come out with five hundred people, and they are going to the west along the grain route to join the brigade. The other two groups of enemies had no news yet, but they did not dare to come. As for why he didn't dare to come, he really didn't want to ramble on the corpses of the big tent soldiers lying here one by one, even if he lent a few pairs of courage to the Tuqi people, and the team of hundreds of thousands of people didn't have the courage to come and look for death. He looked up at the height of the sun, thought for a moment, and continued, "The enemy also needs time to reorganize their ranks, and when everyone is gathered, they have to send out rangers to reconnoiter our movements, and then discuss the plan. These are done well and thoroughly, so that they have confidence and the courage to fight again, at least at noon. There's no way they're going to come before noon, so we can rest a little longer. ”

"And then?"

Shang Cheng was silent for a moment, lowered his eyelids and looked at the fist-sized black beef jerky in his hand, and said slowly: "...... The team rests for a while, and then you head south. Send more outposts on the road, pay attention to the surrounding conditions, and avoid enemies as much as you can, and don't let them stick to them. If you can't stay at Shuangma Beach, continue to ...... south."

Wang Yi had already noticed that Shang Cheng was saying "you". His face turned pale, his eyes narrowed and he stared at Shang Cheng, and asked sadly, "What about you?" ”

"I'll take a hundred soldiers to stay behind and try to hold them back." Shang Cheng said, "However, there may be more than 2,000 enemies combined, and I am afraid that they will not be able to delay much time." When the horses and horses are rested and have enough strength, you can go. ”

The surrounding officers suddenly lost their color. They never expected Shang Cheng to say such a thing: This little soldier to intercept two thousand Turquoise people is simply self-defeating! Wang Yi's face suddenly turned red, and in a blink of an eye, he became as pale as paper, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "You...... Captain Shang, let's go together! ”

"Someone has to break it." Shang Cheng said with a smile, "In terms of strategizing and planning, I can't compare to everyone, but when it comes to the bloody battle between the two armies, everyone can't compare to me." So it's up to me to cut it off. ”
