There was still a bit of chill in Western Siberia in March, but fortunately, the Great Zhou soldiers who went out this time were all selected from the Northern Guard, and most of them had participated in the counterinsurgency war in Western Xinjiang, so they were still a little patient with this chill.

Looking at the jungle in the distance, Ma Jinzhong narrowed his eyes and said to the deputy general beside him: "The snow here has melted for more than half a month, but I am afraid that the army on the side of the Rus country has already gone out, but I don't know where they have arrived now, what news has come from the Jewish side in the past few days?" ”

The adjutant replied: "General, yesterday there was a news from the Jews about the Rus, but the last general roughly estimated that it would take at least half a month for the Rus to arrive here. ”

"Half a month?" Ma Jinzhong muttered and said, "You can notify the Warat people to start moving." ”

"General, isn't it a little early?" The adjutant general doubted: "According to the original plan, we will at least wait until the Rus arrive here and the Warat side will not start the operation." ”

Ma Jinzhong smiled disapprehantly: "You also said that it was the original plan, and now that the plan has changed, we naturally have to make corresponding changes in advance." ”

"Plans changed?" The adjutant general was puzzled, "But the march on the Rus' side hasn't changed much!" ”

"Not the Rus' side!" Ma Jinzhong shook his head and said, "It's just that I want to make some adjustments."

Neither we nor the Warat side know much about the great jungle of West Siberia on the other side, and with only a map sent by the Jews, I am afraid that once we enter the impermeable jungle, we are afraid that we will only get lost.

So just in case, let's send someone to find out the situation inside. ”

"Oh!" Only then did the adjutant general suddenly realize, "Then the general will go and inform the Warat side, so that they can send troops as soon as possible." ”

"It's nature!" Ma Jinzhong nodded, then took out his binoculars and looked into the jungle.

The more he looked, the closer Ma Jinzhong's brows wrinkled, and then a bright look flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly shouted to the deputy general who was about to retire, "Wait first, don't be in a hurry to inform the Warat people." ”

"What? Could it be that the general has come up with some new ideas? The lieutenant muttered.

After looking at it for a while, Ma Jinzhong put down the binoculars, turned his head to look at the deputy general and asked, "You may have sent someone to explore the jungle inside?" ”

"As early as when I first came here, the last general had already sent scouts to find out the terrain nearby......"

The deputy general was about to elaborate, but was stopped by Ma Jinzhong waving his hand, only to see Ma Jinzhong's eyes flickering and asking: "Let me ask you, is the nearby jungle dominated by pines and cypresses?" ”

"This ......" The lieutenant general carefully recalled the reply of the scout below, and finally shook his head and said: "The last general does not know!" ”

"Then why don't you call the scouts who were sent out?" Ma Jinzhong said in his mouth, but in his heart, Ma Jinzhong muttered: "If the old man's expectations are good, this time it is enough for the Rus people to drink a pot." ”

After confirming what he thought from the mouths of the scouts who inquired about the news, Ma Jinzhong couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes, and hurriedly said to the adjutant general: "How much oil is there in the army now?" ”

"Kerose?" The adjutant general thought for a while and said, "General, because this is a field operation, we don't bring much oil. ”

"Hurry! Right away! Ma Jinzhong hurriedly said: "Inform the Khan of Warat and ask him to send all the stored oil from the tribes near Warat, so that the old man will be of great use at that time." ”

"And!" After a pause, Ma Jinzhong originally wanted to notify the country and let the country allocate a batch of hot oil. But after thinking about the distance from China to here, he could only give up in the end, "Forget it, you will order someone to go to the side of the transmission warat!" ”

"The last general commands!"

The adjutant general hurriedly went down and ordered someone to deliver the news to Wara, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and he couldn't understand what his general was planning.

Therefore, after arranging for someone to go to Warat to deliver the letter, the adjutant general returned to Ma Jinzhong and asked: "General, the last general still doesn't understand a little, why do you want to allocate so much oil?" ”

Ma Jinzhong pointed to the jungle in the distance and smiled: "The old man asked you, what kind of trees are in the jungle?" ”

"Naturally, it is dominated by pines and cypresses!" The lieutenant general replied without hesitation, just now, the lieutenant general had already learned from the scout.

"That's it!" Ma Jinzhong said with a relaxed face: "The pines and cypresses are all oily trees, once we set fire to them, what do you say will happen to this jungle in the end?" ”

"Naturally, the fire is monstrous!" The adjutant general suddenly understood, "General, could it be that you want to set a fire here and burn all the Rus' here?" ”

"It's nature!" Ma Jinzhong smiled and said: "Once such a jungle causes a fire, the Rus people can't escape even if they want to, and we can win the biggest victory at the lowest cost."

It had not been long since the snow had melted, and the air was humid, and the old man was worried that the fire would be small, so he planned to transfer a large amount of fire oil to the Rus, so that the time could add fuel to the fire of the Rus, so that they would not return. ”

"The general is wise!" The lieutenant couldn't help but slap a sycophant.

But immediately, the adjutant general hesitated and said: "General, there are secret agents planted by the Jews in this Rus' army, if they are all burned to death, how should we explain to the Jews?"

Otherwise, let's notify the Jews first, and then set the fire? ”

"No way!" Ma Jinzhong, who was originally smiling, suddenly had a little coldness, stared at the deputy general and said, "You have been following the old man for a long time, haven't you learned the truth of not being in charge of the army?"

If the news leaks out on the Jewish side, will we soon be empty?

Besides, it is better to die a few Jews than to let our brothers die. Which is more important, you weigh it yourself! ”

As he spoke, Ma Jinzhong stared at the deputy general again, then turned around and left......

Back in the tent, Ma Jinzhong held the map on his head and wrote and drew on it, and did not stop writing until evening.

After moving his sore limbs, Ma Jinzhong shouted outside the door: "Come here, notify all the middle-level and above generals in the army to come to discuss matters!" ”

Yes, since Ma Jinzhong came up with the idea of using fire to persuade the Rus army to annihilate, all the previous deployments naturally cannot be counted, and they must be readjusted.

After listening to Ma Jinzhong's idea, all the generals in the army talked about it, but no one dared to stand up against it. This is because Ma Jinzhong originally had a very high prestige in the army, and this idea was originally very good, which could avoid casualties in the army, so naturally no one dared to come out against it......
