Xue Jinyan waited impatiently, pulled out the waist knife for a while, and put it back into the sheath for a while, and kept asking Cao Shenxi: "When will King Wu send a letter?" ”

Cao Shen was still calm, he was ordered to assist Xue Jinyao, just to balance the impatience of this female general, and every time he answered, he would always come: "I will always come when I should come." ”

"Hehe, Master...... There's really no rush. ”

"The two armies are fighting, and they are more stable, not urgent."

"Just waiting?"

"Stability is not waiting, if the general really wants to do something, he will go to appease the army, and when the war starts, there will not be no one available."

In this matter, Xue Jinyan was not in a hurry, "I understand the descending army, King Wu personally led the army to support, the biggest problem has been solved, and I have my own way to let them contribute when the time comes." But King Wu had better not make us wait too long, we can't hold our breath for too long...... Why did Master look at me like that? ”

Cao Shenxi hurriedly looked away, "It's nothing...... I was thinking that the Born General might be able to change his style of play and reduce some casualties. ”

"Does Master have an idea? One less death is one, my father has recruited enough people to the sky, and the rest should live well. ”

"In yesterday's battle, the Jingzhou army took some advantage, and they must have contempt for the descending army. You might as well do this, and then send people out of the camp to invite the battle, and if you are defeated, you will not be allowed to win, and you will be lured to the Jingzhou army to attack the camp, and the descending army will turn from offensive to defensive, and the loss will be smaller. ”

Xue Jin shook his mind for a while, "In this way, isn't the first person sent out to be sent to death?" ”

"Feint defeat is a way of fighting, as long as the generals can retreat in time and the soldiers can follow the banner closely, the casualties will not be too large."

Xue Jin shook his head and said, "If the soldiers of the Descendants could do this, I would not have been forced to withdraw my troops yesterday. The army must be large in number and must be in a group, only in this way can we feel safe, and when we go out and see the enemy's army, people's hearts will be chaotic, and we will be defeated when we are in chaos, and we will be out of control when we are defeated. It's better to have me break it off for them, but if no one breaks it, I'm afraid that even three adults won't be able to run back. ”

Cao Shenxi had a lot of contact with the descending army, and of course he understood that what Xue Jinyao said was true, thought for a moment, and said: "Then let them be sent to death, the casualties are still less than the two armies fighting." ”

Xue Jinyan showed obvious surprise, "As long as King Wu arrives in time to participate in the battle, the Descending Army will be able to achieve a great victory, and there won't be too many casualties, right?" ”

"This ...... I don't know. Cao Shenxi said vaguely.

Xue Jin couldn't help but look at Cao Shen twice, "Is there something that Master is hiding from me?" King Wu didn't bring his troops out of the city at all, and sending you here is to lie to me to fight to the death with the Jingzhou army and consume the strength of the descending army, isn't it? ”

Cao Shenxi smiled bitterly: "Even you believe the rumors in the army. If the Jingzhou army cannot be defeated, the more casualties the descending army will have, the more unfavorable it will be to King Wu. He did lead the whole city with his men, at least by the time I set out, the vanguard was on the way, taking charge of opening the way, and blocking the news as much as possible. ”

Xue Jinyan was a little embarrassed, "I shouldn't doubt King Wu." I was just...... It's hard to send people out to die, and although there are many annoying people in the Incarnation Army, after all, they are my subordinates, and I would rather lead them to fight to the death myself than deliberately harm their lives. ”

Cao Shenxi shook his head, "Once you will become famous, you can't be a general." ”

Xue Jinyan was reprimanded, but a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "To tell the master the truth, I don't want to be a general, when this battle is over, I will return the general number and let King Wu choose someone else to lead the army, I will still be my golden saintess, and I will promote the sect with the mages." ”

"Huh? Then why do you want me to teach you the art of war? ”

"I used to want to be a general, to command thousands of troops and horses, to be invincible, to let the world know that women can also fight. But after learning the art of war for a while, I became timid. Master is right, sometimes in order to win a battle, or to lose a few soldiers, you have to let a few people go out and die. I understand this, but it's too hard to do. ”

"You once led your troops to storm the enemy camp for a whole day, with more than 10,000 casualties, but now you are a little unbearable?"

"As I just said, let me lead the troops to 'send to death', send others to 'send death', and hide behind myself to enjoy the victory - I can't do it."

"A woman's kindness." Cao Shenxi was a little annoyed.

"I was a woman. And Master don't say 'the kindness of a woman', when a woman is ruthless, you don't see it. ”

"For example, Mrs. Ning Wang, Niu Tiannu? I heard that she had killed many people in the Descendant Army. ”

"Among the women of the Descendant Army, she has killed fewer people than my mother, but she doesn't like to be public, so everyone ranks her in seven or eight."

Cao Shenxi shook his head again and again, the more he came into contact with the incarnation army and women, the more difficult it was to understand, "In case King Wu comes late, you have to be prepared." ”

"What else can you prepare? Once the fight starts, you can only hold on and not retreat, King Wu is a trustworthy man......"

"Hey."

"Master, don't laugh, King Wu is good at scheming, and it's hard to guess what is in his mind, but he ...... I know when he lies, when he tells the truth - when he lies, he tries to convince you, and when he tells the truth, he only has a few words, which seems to be extremely insincere, but in fact he is determined. ”

Cao Shen shampooed his hair for a while, "We people are not as clear as you." But you can't see King Wu now, and you don't know how much of his promise is true and how much is false. ”

No matter how simple Xue Jinyan was, he could also hear what Cao Shenxi said, "Master saw it, when King Wu explained the plan to you, did he say too much or too little?" ”

Cao Shenxi was reluctant to answer directly, and sighed, "I'm not you, I can't see through King Wu's reality." I'm just guessing from the art of war: King Wu came earlier, which can greatly boost the morale of the descending army and thwart the Jingzhou army, but it can't be completely annihilated, and may even scare them back into the camp, and it will take more time to capture it, and the future is unpredictable; When King Wu came later, the army of the Descendant Army was either entangled with Jingzhou, making it difficult for him to get out of the battlefield, or the Descendant Army was scattered and attracted the Jingzhou Army to pursue, then King Wu could win in one fell swoop and did not need to attack the enemy camp again. ”

Cao Shen paused, "I don't know what kind of play King Wu will use. ”

Xue Jinyan finally understood, "So if King Wu came late, it was not an accident, but intentional, just like Master suggested that I send someone out to die, King Wu may also be letting the Descending Army die?" ”

"I don't agree with the saying 'send to death', if the generals of the rebel army were like you, they would have lost faster and suffered more casualties. In the final analysis, the 'kindness of a woman' cannot fight, and the 'ruthlessness of a woman' is not needed. ”

Xue Jin shook his head, "Master looks down on 'women'. ”

"I've said so much that you've only noticed these two words?"

"I'm sorry, I understand what Master meant."

"So I suggest that you still attract the Jingzhou army to attack the camp, so that no matter whether King Wu comes early or late, you will not be at a loss."

"If you defend the camp, I can't completely entangle the Jingzhou army, and after King Wu arrives, it is rare to win a big victory."

"I really don't understand, are you soft-hearted or ruthless? Let you send a few people to 'send to death', you don't agree, say that you have to take the lead yourself, King Wu may let the entire army of the world 'send to death', but you are willing, but think about him - it's better to do your own thing, King Wu is so smart, let him figure it out by himself. ”

"I ...... I want to go to see King Wu in person, ask for an understanding, or at least see a clarification. ”

"You're gone, what about the Descendants?"

"Please sit in the camp on your behalf."

"Me? The Descendant Army will not recognize me at all. Cao Shenxi was taken aback.

"I'll make it to you...... General of the Army, on my footing. Don't worry, although those people talk a lot, don't understand the rules, and each one is more fierce than the other, in fact, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, as long as the camp is still fenced, as long as the enemy army has not attacked, they will stay here honestly. I'll go and go back quickly, if I meet King Wu's people on the road, bring a letter saying to attack immediately, I will turn around immediately, and don't delay the matter here. ”

Cao Shenxi didn't expect a few speculative words to involve himself, and was thinking about how to refuse, but Xue Jin shook his mind but had already made up his mind, stepped forward to help the master, walked out of the tent, gathered the generals, announced the appointment, and then said: "I will go to ask the king of Wu for troops, and never let the descending army and the Wu army fight the enemy alone." ”

The generals first saw Cao Shenxi, and then heard the promise of the Golden Holy Maiden, all cheered, and no one was suspicious.

Xue Jinyan only set off with dozens of guards, more horses, and kept all the way, only asking a few words when he met the messenger.

Early the next morning, Xue Jinyan met the vanguard army, and learned that King Wu was supervising the army not far behind, and his heart was a little calm, and he saw that there were many Luozhou soldiers in the army, and his heart was a little more stable.

An hour later, she greeted the army, and saw the banner of King Wu from afar, she thought, King Wu only wanted one victory, it was enough to force the Jingzhou army to retreat, and he could not sacrifice a large number of descending troops to seek a complete victory.

Xue Jinyan regretted his hasty decision a little, but the person had already come, and he couldn't turn around and go back without saying a word, so he sent someone to inform King Wu of his arrival first.

Xu Ji was riding on a horse to supervise the army, and when he heard the report, he was taken aback, and appointed someone else to supervise the army, stopped himself, and summoned the descending general.

The snow on the side of the road had melted and was quite muddy, so Xu Ji found a slightly drier dirt slope and waited for Xue Jinsha.

Tan Wuwu had no official or position, followed King Wu in white clothes, and quietly reminded: "The descending general is suspicious, King Wu must be careful to appease, if the descending army is unwilling to fight with all its strength, or the rout is too early, it will be difficult for King Wu to win a complete victory, and the Jingzhou army will make a comeback in the future." When the time comes, Wu Wang will not stay, and it will not be ...... to retreat."

"I understand." Xu Ji interrupted Tan Wusense, and he was a little nervous in his heart.

Tan senselessly held his sword and left, and said to the guards: "King Wu and his wife talk, you don't have to stay." ”

Tang Weitian and the others ignored him, and only after receiving the signal from King Wu did they withdraw from a distance.

Xue Jin came alone, dismounted halfway, walked uphill, and watched her figure pass by, Tan Wuwu whispered to Tang Weitian: "If King Wu can be ruthless, he will achieve great things, maybe I can consider whether to re-elect the lord." ”

Tang Weitian snorted disdainfully and didn't answer.

Tan Wuwu didn't take Tang Weitian seriously, his eyes kept staring at the descending general, and muttered: "For such a woman, King Wu will not do stupid things." ”
