Chapter 260: Transferred back to Chengguan
After hearing Zuna's surprise question, Zu Ti nodded helplessly!
Zuna looked at Zu Ti and nodded silently, obviously he had the same opinion as himself!
Zuna's heart suddenly sank to the bottom!
After a long time, Zuna spoke: "It seems that our guess of the loss of Tongguan is correct, and not only Tongguan has been lost, but even the reinforcements of Liangzhou have been wiped out, this Zhao Ran is so capable!" ”
"Well, I have the same idea as the second brother, Tongguan should have been controlled by Zhao Ran's people, Zhao Ran is really unexpected!"
"Yes, the text he got from He Lun only said about Princess Mingyue King Qin, and Zhao Ran's matter was only briefly mentioned, but I didn't expect that this person took Tongguan, and now Tongguan has been lost, so the Huns have all concentrated in Tongguan?!"
"Well, that's why I'm expanding the army, second brother, we only have one way left now!"
"A road? Do you still want to storm Tongguan knowing that you don't have much chance of winning!? Third brother, listen to me! This temporary withdrawal is also a good way to wait for the right opportunity! ”
"Withdrawal? Hehe, now retreat, if the Huns or this Zhao Ran find out that we have so many hooligan people by our side, our casualties will be even more serious, the rumors of Kuxian, second brother, you have also heard about it......"
Hearing Zu Ti mention the tragic situation in Ku County, Zu Na's words of persuasion shrank back......
Zu Li sighed and continued: "Maybe our main force can retreat, but these people who follow us ......"
"yes...... What should these people do......"
"So I decided to attack Tongguan as soon as possible!"
"Third brother, second brother asks you a word! What would you do if the defenders of Tongguan were really still guarding the town by Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang?! ”
Zu Ti didn't expect Zu Na to suddenly ask like this, and his heart suddenly tightened, because his second brother's words suddenly poked at the thing Zu Ti was most unwilling to face......
Zu Ti raised his head, stared at Zu Na's eyes, and said slowly, word by word: "Tongguan must have been lost!" ”
After listening to Zu Ti's words, Zu Na saw Zu Ti's firm eyes again, he was silent, and slowly, Zu Na nodded silently......
After Zu Ti saw that Zu Na had agreed with his point of view, he immediately asked, "Second brother, how long can our military rations last?!" ”
"With so many people together, I think it can last up to 15 days!"
"Do you want to capture Tongguan in 15 days? This team has not yet been trained perfectly, 15 days... Is there no way to hold on a little longer?
"No, unless the team we are stationed in Chengguan City can come in time, the eldest brother told me last time he came to my place that he had written a letter and sent someone to Chengguan City to deliver the letter, so that Lao Cui and they could find a way to get more grain and grass as soon as possible and send it to Nanxiema Village, Taiyao Town, near Tongguan!"
"Where is it stored?"
"Yes, so we can save ourselves the hassle of multiple shipments!"
"This is the eldest brother's decision?!"
"Yes, what my brother meant, Tongguan must be taken no matter what!"
Hearing this, Zu Ti's mood couldn't be calm, the eldest brother was still calculating for himself before he fell seriously ill, which made Zu Ti's heart have an indescribable feeling, the eldest brother is really planning for himself and the army all the time!
Thinking of this, Zu Ti asked eagerly: "Second brother, how long will it take for the group of people in Chengguan to arrive?" ”
"I don't know exactly when they will arrive, I have already arranged for people to wait in Nanxiema Village, as soon as they arrive, we should immediately pull out the camp and march to Tongguan! The person sent out to deliver the letter this time was riding my brother's horse......"
When Zu Ti heard this, his eyes suddenly blurred, this horse is the eldest brother's most beloved horse, and he has always been reluctant to let people touch it......
Zu Ti exhaled a long breath, and his expression was a little gloomy......
Zu Ti was silent for a while before he said to Zu Na: "Second brother, how long do you think it will take Lao Cui and them to arrive?" ”
"If I'm right, they can come as fast as they can without any delay, it will probably take about 15 days!"
"You're in such a hurry?!"
"Yes, is there a way we can delay a little longer?"
"I've recently noticed that there are large swarms of rats in many parts of the army, and I know where these things are hiding from a man named Ge Hong......?"
"Hey, I understand what the second brother means, now is the very time, so it's just like this, just eat what you have, then trouble the second brother to organize this matter, and try to hunt and kill as many as possible to fill the military rations!"
"Well, I'll mix the rat meat into the other grains, so I should be able to delay it for another two or three days!"
"I don't know how much food Lao Cui can get there, they just order so many people, I hope there won't be any accidents on the way!"
"Yes, I'm also worried about this, if something really happens, we will only have one way left to storm Tongguan, and at that time, our chances of winning will be very low......"
Zu Ti understands that Zu Na's odds of victory are very low, and with Zu Ti's understanding of Zu Na, this is basically the meaning of going to die.
Thinking of this, Zu Ti's brows furrowed even tighter, he really couldn't think of how to get through this difficulty, Tongguan had been lost, and the army of the Huns should have gone to Chang'an, and his eldest brother also fell ill at this time, and he chose the road of westward entry to King Qin, hey, he encountered the problem of insufficient food again, how should this be good!?
Suddenly, Zu Ti thought of the crux of a question, and said anxiously to Zu Na: "Second brother, who do you say is the guard of Tongguan now?" Why didn't he send any scouts or anything like that to our side? There's no intention of luring us into Tongguan?! ”
"I also have this question, I discussed it with my brother, we are all a little confused, third brother, what do you think of this?!"
"I'm wondering if I'll send another letter to test it!"
"Do you suspect that the guards guarding Tongguan now will be Zhao Ran's people from Mali and not someone else assigned by the Xiongnu?!"
"Yes, after all, Zhao Ran's subordinates are also Jin people, although Zhao Ran has rebelled against the enemy, it does not mean that there are no people under his account who are interested in the Jin family!"
"And how should this letter be written?!"
"I want to borrow the name of Princess Mingyue......"
At the same time, the city was closed outside the city
Lao Cui and the others all had sad faces.
It's not that they are sad because of Zugai's letter, and it is impossible for the letter to reach them so quickly, but because they can't stay in Chengguan City anymore!
Lao Yan was the first to speak: "Brother Cui, you can say something, this city is really unable to stay for a moment, and I don't know who reported that we killed their people, and even contacted all their secret posts in the city, which made the whole city panic, and even these people went around saying that they would kill us all and avenge their people!" Lao Yan scolded while looking at Lao Li viciously!
When Lao Li saw Lao Yan staring at him like this, he was also angry in his heart, and immediately scolded Lao Yan: "Lao Yan, what do you mean by kid?!" You think I don't know what you're trying to say, don't you just mean that my son Dog went to report to the gang outside the city?! ”
"Hehe, Lao Li, that's what I meant, don't you dare to say it? You let Brother Cui talk about it, is what I said wrong! ”
Lao Cui really couldn't listen to his two old subordinates arguing anymore, so he scolded: "Shut the fuck up for me, I dare to promise, Li Tou's son!" That's it! Never do such a thing! ”
