Chapter V: Withdrawal of Troops
Although Nan Ming lives in seclusion, he has been paying attention to the border of the Celestial Empire and the politics of the Celestial Empire for so many years.
He, who had fought for many years and had been stationed in Jingzhou with Jingyu, knew that there were only more than 100,000 border garrisons.
As for Batu, although he didn't know how many troops Batu had, looking at the dense army in front of him and Mu Kun's words just now, he let Nan Ming know that they were not suitable to fight against Batu at all.
He believed that General Mu Kunmu, who was sought after by the people in the Celestial Empire, was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise, the emperor of the Celestial Empire would not let him be named the general stationed on the border of the Celestial Empire.
Glancing at the Batu army that was about to withdraw, Nan Ming signaled to the Celestial Empire soldiers behind him, just pretentiously blocking at will.
After all the Batu troops retreated, Nan Ming looked back and looked at the high city gate of Yuzhou.
At this time, when Mu Kun withdrew his troops from Batu, he had already ordered the soldiers guarding the city gate to open the city gate. Jiuhuang followed Mu Kun to stay at the city gate, looking at Nan Ming not far away, waiting for him to lead the army behind him into the city.
Nan Ming glanced at Jiuhuang, although she was now dressed in a military uniform, but she had a three-point similar appearance with Jing Yu, and he didn't need to be explained by others, he also knew that it was Jing Yu's daughter.
Nan Ming's gaze only stayed on Jiuhuang for a moment, and then he had already retracted his gaze, and then ordered the Celestial Empire army behind him to enter Yuzhou City with him.
Nan Ming led the army to the front of Mu Kun and a few people, stopped the war horse under him, turned over, and then looked at Mu Kun and said, "Cao Min, Nan Ming has seen General Mu Kun. ”
Mu Kun looked at Nan Ming, a Zheng Zheng hero who had won several battles for the Celestial Empire, originally thought that he had died in the war ten years ago with the Marquis of Prospect Prefecture, but he didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to see him again.
Hearing Nanming's self-proclaim, Mu Kun said, "General Nanming, Mu Kun is here to thank the general for his help today." ”
Nan Ming looked at the young general who came out of the family on the other side, not arrogant or impatient, looking at his previous behavior, a trace of praise flashed in Nan Ming's eyes.
"Nan Ming is just a reckless man now, and he can't afford the title of general, General Mu can call me Nan Ming."
When Mu Kun heard Nan Ming's words, he was puzzled. Then I thought that Nanming had been living in seclusion since the war ten years ago until today's sudden appearance, and he must have his own secrets. For a general, a general who has made countless achievements, Mu Kun knows how to respect him.
"Since Uncle Nan said this, then Mu Kun has no choice but to obey his fate."
Although Nan Ming has no official position, according to Nan Ming's experience on the battlefield, and Nan Ming is his elder, it is not an exaggeration for Mu Kun to call him Uncle Nan, which is also another kind of respect for Nan Ming in Mu Kun's heart.
Nan Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard Mu Kun's name for him, and then remembered his friendship with the Marquis of Dingyuan, and it was not an exaggeration for Mu Kun to call him Uncle Nan.
Su Nu followed behind Nan Ming towards Yuzhou City, when she came to Jiuhuang and the others, Su Nu took a deep look, her face was pale, and the tired Jiuhuang snorted softly with a nasal voice, but there was a flash of worry in her eyes.
Although the worry in Su Nu's eyes flashed very quickly in her eyes, Jiuhuang, who had been paying attention to her, still caught the worry in Su Nu's eyes, and was very sorry in her heart.
Mu Kun stood beside Jiuhuang and was talking to Nan Ming. Although Su Nu's soft snort to Jiuhuang was very subtle and very quiet, it was still heard by Mu Kun, who was paying attention to Jiuhuang.
Mu Kun began to pay attention to the little soldier behind Nan Ming, and his tall posture showed that he was a qualified soldier.
But the body that was shorter than the average man looked so incongruous, and the silver armor was loosely placed on his body, as if a thin man wore the armor that a fat man should wear, which looked so funny.
Nan Ming looked at Mu Kun, who was originally talking to him, and suddenly put his eyes on Su Nu's body, and was shocked, wanting to exit, but was taken first.
Jiuhuang suddenly felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a little wrong, and then glanced at the few people in front of him, and found that Mu Kun was looking at the plain girl without blinking, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and said loudly, "Uncle Nan led the army all the way to help, how about we go back to the camp and discuss it again?" ”
Mu Kun changed his words when he heard this, and he also reacted, he should let Nanming return to the camp first. took a deep look at the plain girl, and then walked towards the city with Nan Ming.
Seeing that Mu Kun didn't look at the plain girl anymore, Nan Ming and Jiuhuang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Jiuhuang stays in the army as a woman, which is already a special specialty, if Mu Kun discovers the true body of the plain girl, then Nanming and Jiuhuang both know that the Yuzhou military camp will definitely be chaotic.
When the time comes, if there is no fight with Batu, the Celestial Empire army will have its own civil strife first, which is not something that anyone can bear.
Su Nu still has palpitations in her heart until now, and she regrets in her heart why she couldn't hold back her emotions after seeing Jiuhuang's sickness just now.
The fact that she was able to appear in the battle had already proved that she was definitely not a big deal, and her master was Yunmeng Zhenren, and she knew that Jiuhuang was poisoned, and Su Nu believed that Yunmeng Zhenren must also know about Jiuhuang's situation, so she would definitely save her apprentice, and why should she be so worried.
Thinking of Mu Kun's gaze that stayed on her just now, Su Nu could clearly feel the killing intent hidden in it.
She thought that if Jiuhuang hadn't spoken out at that time, maybe she had already been discovered by Mu Kun, then the consequences would definitely be unimaginable.
Women are not allowed to enter the barracks, she is not Jiuhuang, she does not have the identity of the county lord of Jiuhuang, nor is she deeply loved by the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Dynasty, and she does not have Xu Ming, the father-in-law of the elders of the two dynasties, as a backing, so she can't let people see through her true body. In this way, she can stay in the army.
The general's mansion in Yuzhou City, this is Mu Kun's mansion as a border garrison general in Yuzhou.
In front of the General's Mansion, Mu Kun instructed his deputy general Yumu to bring down the tens of thousands of Heavenly Dynasty troops brought by Nan Ming to settle down, while he himself took Nan Ming into the General's Mansion.
In the house, Mu Kun, as the landlord, ordered someone to take Nan Ming down to rest for a while, and said, "Uncle Nan, please forgive me, I still have a military situation to discuss, Uncle Nan has worked hard all the way, can I order someone to take you to rest?" ”
Hearing Mu Kun's words, Nan Ming frowned, he came out this time to help him recover Jingzhou, only to hear Nan Ming reply, "If General Mu doesn't dislike it, can the grass people participate in this military discussion?" ”
Nanming's words made Mu Kun stunned, and he was also happy in his heart. Nanming has always been the general of the garrison on the border of Jingzhou, and has fought with Batu many times, and he is familiar with Jingzhou, and wants to be more familiar with it than himself, and with his joining, he may be able to find a faster and better way to deal with Batu.
Then Mu Kun was very sincere and said, "If Uncle Nan is willing, Mu Kun is quite welcome to Uncle Nan to join." ”
Seeing Mu Kun say this, Nan Ming said, "Then Nan Ming took the liberty to join it." ”
Because Nan Ming only joined the discussion, and he didn't know the current war situation between the two sides, Mu Kun explained to Nan Ming one by one, and even told the interests and disadvantages of the Celestial Empire now.
"I think now you all know that the Bahde, at the behest of King Batu, threw an army of 250,000 to support the Batu army in Jingzhou, and now their army has 450,000."
Mu Kun paused and glanced at everyone, then said, "And our army, plus the army brought by General Nanming, is only a hundred thousand. In Renhe, we have fallen behind Batu, not to mention that there is no news of our reinforcements. ”
"Everyone knows the terrain of Jingzhou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is a great disadvantage to us, and it can even be said that if Batu attacks directly, we don't even have the ability to fight back at all, and we will directly lose the city of Yuzhou, and our army of more than 100,000 will also die on the battlefield."
"I believe that all the generals have seen today's situation, and Batu's withdrawal without a war is really because General Nanming led the army suddenly appeared, and Batu was caught off guard, making them think that before our real reinforcements arrived, we still had reinforcements to support, or they thought that our reinforcements had arrived."
Mu Kun's remarks made the generals sitting down all think, thinking back to the previous war, Batu's army of more than 200,000 troops directly came to the city, and the Celestial Empire was only less than 100,000 troops, so how could they resist Batu's army.
It was the army brought by Nanming that made Bass fall into doubt, giving him the illusion that the Celestial Empire was not only about these armies on the surface, so that Bass would cautiously withdraw the army.
Subsequently, Mu Kunyou continued, "But this kind of thing, when Buzz thinks back and knows our true situation, then we are facing the situation of people losing the city." ”
Yu Mu listened to Mu Kun's words, he who had always been used to solving everything by force, scratched his head anxiously with his hand, and said, "General, what should we do now?" ”
Mu Kun glanced at Yumu and didn't say what to do.
He looked at Nan Ming, who was bowing his head and thinking on the side, and said, "Uncle Nan, you used to stay in Jingzhou and fought with Batu, I want to hear what Uncle Nan thinks about us who are unfavorable in the current war?" ”
After Mu Kun's question, Nan Ming did not answer him immediately, but continued to bow his head and ponder for a while before he spoke, "How long can the grain, grass, weapons and weapons in our army support our army?" ”
When Mu Kun heard this, he replied without thinking about it, "Now the grain and grass in the army can probably support our army for half a month." ”
"It's too little, when marching and fighting, grain and grass are the first priority, if there is no food and grass to supply the army, the strength of the soldiers will be great against the Batu army."
Seeing Nan Ming say this, Mu Kun nodded, he has been in the army for so many years, and he also knows the importance of grain and grass for the entire army, and then he said, "I immediately wrote back to Shangjing and asked the emperor to support grain and grass." ”
