Chapter 246: Dyed Red
So when he asked this question, Mo Yu smiled: "Of course I know that place, the legend is that it is a blood mountain, and the whole mountain is red. ”
In the past, Mo Yu may have believed in this statement a little when he was young, but as he grew older, he became less and less convinced of this statement.
Human skin is dyed with some colors that are very difficult to wash off and can be removed by metabolism, not to mention the hippopotamus mouth, which has not been at war for a long time.
The countless grasses that had grown there had probably sucked the blood clean, so now Mo Yu didn't believe Mo Changji's statement 100%.
One of the main reasons why Mo Changji didn't go there was that he would bring some small troops with him when he went there, although there were only a few dozen people, it was a violation of the regulations.
Most caravans were reluctant to pass through there, because it was easy to be mistaken for an army if they rode horses, but it seemed that there were places that had to be passed through, and when they passed through that place, they also passed quickly, and they did not want to linger too long, for fear of being misunderstood by people on both sides.
If such a situation did happen, it would be too tragic.
An Xinbi laughed out loud after hearing Mo Yu's words: "Where is it so evil, don't hide it from Brother Mo Yu, I haven't been there, and I can only see a little bit on the map, and it has to be a local map." ”
Of course, you need a local map, not to mention a small mountain peak if it is a national map, and even some mountains that stretch for miles may not be marked on the national map.
Mo Yu was also very happy after seeing An Xinbi laughing: "I'm just joking, my father often scared me like this when I was a child, just to make me more obedient." ”
Bai Yun smiled, and finally spoke out after drinking and eating: "Why don't I know, you still have such a thing when you were a child." ”
Of course, Mo Yu is telling lies, in fact, it is to cater to the atmosphere, although Mo Changji deceived Mo Yu, but it is not because of this disobedience, it is just that he doesn't want Mo Yu to go there, as a senior official, he must not be able to take the lead in violating some regulations between the two countries.
Mo Changji no longer represented himself at that time, he represented his own country, and some of his behaviors were to be restrained.
Some words also have to be thought about carefully when they are spoken, otherwise a sentence is likely to cause a lot of casualties.
It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before.
There have also been many cases in history where some high-ranking officials have been considered provocative by another country and have engaged in a skirmish because of a slightly heavier tone.
Not to say anything heavy is not because you are afraid of the other party, but there are some things that you can't afford to bear, whether it is for the attacker or the defender, this price is an unacceptable price.
If you just look at the situation on both sides, many things are very sensitive, that is, they are not diverted by personal will, and when high-level officials of the two countries come into contact with each other, we should pay more attention to such a situation.
A small thing can lead to a huge change, and some things would rather be wrong than let one go.
Mo Changji naturally wouldn't do this kind of thing, he would definitely not be at ease if he let Mo Yu go by himself, and he would not be at ease if he let others bring it over, and in the end, he would not be able to go by himself.
So in the end, the last choice can only be to scare Mo Yu.
Now even if Mo Yu wants to go, if he makes this stake clear, Mo Yu should still hold back the impulse in his heart, after all, he is now of a certain age, and he has experienced a lot of things in officialdom, and he can still slightly understand which side is heavy and which side is lighter.
After Mo Yu heard Bai Yunyi say this, he also smiled lightly: "How can I let you know everything?" You're not our daughter-in-law. ”
Mo Yu regretted it a little when he said this, and it was just a momentary quick speech, and Mo Yu at this time was very afraid that Bai Yun would be angry.
Because it seems that Bai Yunyi is different from before, this degree of femininity is now getting higher and higher.
So I'm still scared, in case I really get angry, although it's not good to be angry in front of An Xinbi, but afterwards, I still feel hurt.
Fortunately, Bai Yunyi didn't care about this matter at all, but started another joke: "Oh, it's a pity that I can't enter the door of your house." ”
An Xinbi also felt very funny when he heard these two people singing and harmonizing: "I see that the two talented women are not good-looking, otherwise, take us to the thirty-eight cities and get married, and then you can also enter the school position of my thirty-eight cities, although this matter is a little difficult to do, but I have full authority to solve it, and it can be wrapped up in me." ”
As mentioned earlier, a child in the local life has to go to the school to do an information registration, and it is relatively simple to have an information registered in the school.
But if people from other places want to get married locally, they still need to go through a lot of procedures, so An Xinbi said that it was on him.
Mo Yu didn't expect that it was just a little joke that caused so many things.
Thinking of having a child with Bai Yun in his life, Mo Yu didn't know why, and felt shuddered after thinking of it.
First of all, let's not say whether this Chang Po will strangle him, that is, if the two of them give birth to a child, it is estimated that this mother does not have any patience to pull him up, and when she thinks of this matter, Mo Yu feels very terrifying.
Mo Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I was wrong just now, I shouldn't make this joke, I want to continue to talk about what happened just now." ”
Bai Yunyi knew that the two of them might have to talk about some serious things, so he didn't continue the topic and just listened to it.
At this time, Bai Yunyi was simply a real housewife, talking when she should speak, not talking when she didn't, and she seemed very understanding.
even added this wine to Mo Yu and An Xinbi from time to time, which was already very face-saving for men outside.
Although Mo Yu is not Bai Yunyi's man, he is actually a friend and he does a very good job.
Therefore, after seeing such a situation, Mo Yu also expressed some satisfaction in his heart, and the degree of satisfaction was also very high.
An Xinbi continued the topic just now: "It is rumored that a lot of troops have gathered in the upper column of the hippopotamus mouth, some say it is 510,000, some say 23,000, but some people also say that it is more than 100,000 troops. ”
Mo Yu was a little amused in his heart after hearing such a statement, in fact, 100,000 is absolutely impossible, even if it is a real war, it will not necessarily put 100,000 troops on the edge of the northern city.
In fact, when attacking a city, it is not that the number of troops is as large as possible, because the area of battle is so large, and sometimes there is not much difference between an army of 5,000 attacking a city and an army of 100,000 attacking a city, and those armies that can fight are these.
Moreover, as a city of this size, there must be a main direction of attack, and it is absolutely impossible to attack all the cities.
Choose the main angle and start attacking the city, occupy some of the main places in the city, and then gradually move in other directions, as long as this small opening is broken, then cleaning up the city is also a matter of time, as long as the command is not particularly stupid.
Therefore, when attacking a city, the number of troops does not determine the winner and the loser, but the real reason for the victory or defeat is the will of the army!
Especially in the matter of attacking the city, the will of the army is the most important means to determine the final victory, and this is the reason for the defeat of the army.
But why does the army still need to station so many troops when attacking and sprinting, a very important reason is to supply the troops attacking the city in front, that is, to be a cover, and on the other hand, to prevent the harassment of the opponent's support troops, so that the besieging troops can put all their minds on attacking the city.
These can be summed up in one sentence, that is, a large part of the factors of these troops are actually logistics support, which is also a very important position.
Therefore, Mo Yu felt that this statement should be a bit inappropriate, a frontal attack would definitely not require so many troops, not to mention that a war signal had not yet been issued.
Mo Yu felt that this matter was a bit strange, because if there was a war, there would be no need to be stationed at the mouth of the hippopotamus, and it would be redundant to be stationed there, that place could be defended but it didn't make much sense to attack.
Because the hippopotamus mouth is still a very far distance from the Great City, the siege of the city is completely able to react, if such a long distance can not be reflected, then all the soldiers of the Great City are eating rice.
Moreover, there is a forward observation post in Beidacheng on the grassland, which Mo Yu is very, very clear, because Mo Yu has been to see that observation post, and all the equipment is readily available.
There are even some organs, although they are stationed with about 1,000 to 2,000 people, but with those long-term buildings, with the familiarity of the place, it is no problem to resist the attack of 5,000 people in time.
It's just that if you really encounter this situation, you can evacuate, there is no need to forcibly defend that place, the military value of that place is not high, and it is not a natural risk, and many places can be bypassed.
Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to really encounter a large army, and directly evacuate in advance, unless it is a cavalry surprise attack on a foggy day, or it will be able to react anyway.
Of course, the premise is still the same sentence, that is, the commander of the forward observation post responds relatively quickly, otherwise everything else is in vain.
Mo Yu thought about it in his heart, if there was an army stationed at the mouth of the hippo, in fact, the number would not be particularly large, and Mo Yu felt that it would not exceed 10,000 at most.
Mo Yu's understanding of the Yuan clan is still very high, the troops that the prince of the Yuan clan can control are limited, and the most important father is still afraid that his sons will kill each other.
If the control of the army is too high, it is easy to form the suppression of one side against the other, and even if it cannot be suppressed, it will also form some relatively large casualties, of course, the premise is that in the case of struggle.
Although he belongs to an immediate family member, he believes that the situation of the army under his control is about 20,000 to 30,000, but as far as these armies are concerned, there is also a large part of the army that has some specific tasks, which means that it is impossible to be transferred all of them under no special circumstances.
Unless the leader of the Yuan clan is dead.
