"Great Khan, you tell me the truth, how long will it take?" This is definitely not the first time Chen Feng has asked this question, you must know that he is really just a strategist, a literati not a military general, and he is really not familiar with the matter of fighting the country on horseback.

"It's coming, it's coming." simply didn't get close to the three of them, otherwise he was afraid that he would pull Chen Feng down and behead him for disturbing the morale of the army, but at this time there were only three of them, and they were quite familiar with each other, so they didn't have many scruples.

"Great Khan, on the day of departure, you said that there were only three days to travel, and now it has been five days!" Chen Feng turned his head and looked at Jieli Khan with an incredulous expression, probably still confused, how could this person say such things openly.

"Oh, yes." Who would have thought that Jieli Khan also pretended to reminisce before speaking, "Yes, it's been five days." ”

"Yes...... Yes! It was Chen Feng who was shocked when he heard these words, Jieli Khan could still face Chen Feng like this calmly, wouldn't his conscience hurt?

"Great Khan, do you know that a gentleman is difficult to chase after a horse?"

"I've heard of it." Jieli Khan looked ahead with a nonchalant expression, and didn't even pay attention to Chen Feng's face full of dissatisfaction.

"Then how do you explain the fact that you said that you only had three days to travel, and now it has dragged on for five days?" Of course, Chen Feng asked with a smile.

"What's the explanation for that." Jieli Khan took it for granted, "I said that the journey of three days is a fast horse and can be reached in three days, but now we are not

On the march? You don't need to walk on your own horse, but you're followed by 20,000 infantry, have you thought about them? ”

"Is that okay?" Chen Feng was stunned, "Great Khan, do you know? ”

"What?"

"I'm only 20 years old, a few years younger than I'm a few years younger."

"Yo, I really didn't notice this if you didn't say it." Hearing this, Jieli Khan finally gave Chen Feng an expression, although this expression was not what Chen Feng wanted.

"And you know now?" Chen Feng looked helpless, he was just a child!

"If you hadn't said that, it would have been hard to think of you as a twenty-year-old boy, too old and scheming! No one will question that you are an old fox of fifty or sixty years old! After saying that, Jieli Khan shook his head with an uncertain expression.

Chen Feng was naturally stunned, "Great Khan, if you say such a thing, won't your conscience really hurt?" I'm just a kid! I'm a few years younger than your son! You can't bear to do this to me? ”

Chen Feng's words of disbelief reached Jieli Khan's ears, causing Jieli Khan to laugh for a while, and even Li Zhen'er, who was riding on a horse next to him, also smiled.

"Does the little fox also think of himself as a child? Have you ever been innocent and cute? With the reins in his hand, he kicked his foot on the horse's belly, so that the horse did not fall too far, and the two men on the left and right followed this speed.

Chen Feng let out a long breath, the expression on his face was full of loss, and he muttered, "Who is not a baby anymore." After saying that, I probably thought it was funny for me to say this, and I couldn't help laughing.

"Report!" Just when the three of them were enjoying themselves, there was an urgent report from the front.

"Stop!" Jieli Khan waved his hand, and the herald behind a few people rode out of the queue, "The army stops advancing!" The order came down, and it was about a stick of incense that the army stopped completely.

At this time, Jieli Khan was holding the battle report in his hand, and his face was unpredictable.

Chen Feng and Li Zhen'er saw that the lightness on Jieli Khan's face was gradually replaced by anger, and they could roughly guess what was going on, roughly the loss of the front, otherwise they would definitely not let Jieli Khan pull down his face.

"Shopkeeper, take a look." As he spoke, he handed the urgent report in his hand to Chen Feng, and Chen Feng was stunned when he saw it.

"The Great Khan thinks that he should understand it?" Chen Feng pointed to the Turkic text on the newspaper in a hurry, and looked confused.

Seeing Chen Feng's expression, Jieli Khan also reacted, Chen Feng is a Han man, and it is understandable that he doesn't know Turkic characters, which is not surprising, so he took the urgent report from Chen Feng's hand, "To put it simply, the front-line war is tight, and Hongdege really made trouble for Lao Tzu!" ”

"He deliberately lost? Released water to the enemy? Chen Feng hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"At present, I can't tell if he was deliberately defeated, but he lost more than 2,000 people in the first battle, and only more than 500 people in the local area, to be honest, I don't trust him very much!" Jieli Khan sighed after speaking.

"At the bottom, I don't think there's much of a problem with this defeat." Chen Feng said.

"Why did the shopkeeper say that?" Jieli Khan glanced at Chen Feng in surprise, "The shopkeeper is not a military general, maybe he doesn't know much, a victory or defeat in wartime may affect the morale of the army, if it has been like this, I am afraid that the morale of our army is completely gone, and the victory or defeat is not yet known!" ”

"Is the Great Khan sure that after killing Hongdege, he will successfully take over the 20,000 cavalry under his command?" Chen Feng didn't care that this person said that he didn't know about the war, in fact, he didn't need to know about the war at all, he just needed to be able to convince Jieli Khan to believe him with his incorruptible tongue.

"This ......" Jieli Khan paused for a moment, but he seemed to be able to understand what Chen Feng meant.

"The Great Khan should have a guess, Zai Xia is indeed not a military general, but the mall is like a battlefield, and the business field, if you want to set up a shop in Xia, and the guys in the shop can't all be used by me, I'd rather disperse all the guys in Xia, even if it takes some effort to find them again, it's better than leaving a group of unreliable guys in the store." Chen Feng's voice and the examples he gave were very convincing.

"So, the shopkeeper means that he would rather sacrifice 20,000 cavalry than let Hongdege continue to fight?" Although he understood what Chen Feng meant, his heart was still a little unreasonable, after all, 20,000 people were not a minority, not to mention that there were still 20,000 cavalry, that is, there were a lot of Turkic horses, but the cost of training 20,000 cavalry was definitely much more than the cost of training 20,000 infantry!

Although it is not difficult for the nomads to raise cavalry in the eyes of the outside world, after all, the nomads themselves have a lot more horses than the horses of the Central Plains countries, which is their unique condition, but the expenditure of a war horse alone for a year is equivalent to the sum of the expenditure of at least five civilians for a year.
