Chapter 501 - Counting is Counting

What the hell is the Suzaku Legion up to?

Meng Huo and other generals were puzzled.

The big war is imminent, and no details can be sloppy, if the Vermilion Bird Legion is playing any conspiracy, once it succeeds, then for the entire Cloud Country. The consequences have undoubtedly been extremely tragic.

A few days later, the scouts found out that the Suzaku Legion had split up a part of its army and headed to the flanks.

Suddenly, Meng Huo was very surprised.

Could it be that the Suzaku Legion is short of food?

Or is there no rush to attack for the time being?

Because the purpose of the Suzaku Legion is very clear, either to harvest grain and grass, or to disrupt the border between the two armies and wait for an opportunity to find a gap.

However, Meng Huo really didn't dare to let the Vermilion Bird Legion do this.

Because, even if the Vermilion Bird Legion only departed an army of 100,000 to do other things, it would be a big threat to the two lines of defense of the Cloud Country, and if it was really torn open by the Vermilion Bird Legion, then the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, in this case, Meng Huo had no choice but to order the entire defensive line, including the defenders of the cities along the way, to beware of the attack of the Suzaku Legion and any riots that broke out in the city.

One of the biggest reasons why it is necessary to remind the cities in the rear to prevent riots is that the cities along the line are not the mainland of Yunguo, but have been snatched over in the past six months.

Compared with Yunguo, the people must be looking forward to the rule of Cangguo.

In addition, the state of Chu has surrendered to the state of Cang, not only accepting the nobles of the state of Chu, but also promising many benefits to the old nobles of the state of Chu, and even retaining a small part of the property, which is a good way to retreat for the scattered Chu army remaining in various cities.

Faced with such a dilemma, Adjutant General Cao Wuxian suggested: "General, why don't we spread rumors and lie that 500,000 reinforcements have arrived in the rear, so as to force the Suzaku Army on the opposite side?" ”

Hearing this, Meng Huo's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head with a wry smile.

The reason is very simple, the intelligence system of the Cang Army has always been very good, just from the fact that the spy is placed next to His Majesty the Emperor, it can be seen that it is extraordinary, even if they release this news, the Vermilion Bird Legion is at most a little surprised, and finally can find out that this is a rumor.

"Why don't you add the heavy cavalry? We sent a letter to the opposite side threatening that the heavy cavalry was in the rear......"

"Heavy cavalry? You are crazy! This is the ...... of my cloud kingdom Not...... What do you mean? ”

"Yes, although our heavy cavalry is now in the rear, if a news is released that the heavy cavalry will arrive after a while, the Suzaku Legion must be greatly panicked, even if it is found out that this is a rumor, but it is equivalent to telling the Suzaku Legion that the heavy cavalry is not here yet, and we are afraid of the Cangjun, so we made up this excuse. In this way, it can also reduce the vigilance of Cangguo!"

"Yes, that's a very good idea."

Hearing this, Meng Huo nodded, and exchanged opinions with several major generals and strategists around him, and they all thought that this method was very good.

At least, for now, it's the best way to do it.

Without much talk and procrastination, Meng Huo immediately took paper and pen, and asked to write a letter to Han Tong in a persuasive tone, asking the latter to retreat, and in the letter, he expressed the determination of the monarchs and ministers of Yun State to work together to resist foreign enemies.

At the end, the tone changed, and then there was some threat,

The next day, Han Tong had just woken up, and before he could put on his armor, a personal guard delivered Meng Huo's letter to him.

"Meng Huo of the Cloud Country?"

Reading the payment on the envelope, Han Tong was a little surprised.

After all, the two armies are facing each other, and Meng Huo, as the commander of the first army, is inevitably a little out of place to send him a personal letter at this time.

Dressed neatly, Han Tong sat on the handsome chair, opened the letter, and read it seriously.

And the content of the letter made Han Tong sneer.

Isn't this nonsense?

What think twice, withdraw the troops immediately, and unite the whole country of Yunguo, etc., are all nonsense.

is nothing more than to pave the way for the threat in the latter sentence, conveying the illusion that the heavy cavalry of the Cloud Kingdom has not yet arrived on the battlefield.

Deliberately do it!

Han Tong smiled, but his heart was relaxed.

Originally, before this, he let the army stop here, because he was worried that the heavy cavalry of the Yun Kingdom had not yet arrived, and it was difficult to defeat it.

According to common sense, the march speed of the heavy cavalry is very slow, even slower than the foot soldiers of the rapid march in the state of long march, so for the sake of safety, he specially let the army stop, and divided the left and right wings, as if he wanted to capture other places.

Meng Huo's letter came at the right time.

That is, indirectly telling him that the 50,000 heavy cavalry of the Yun Kingdom was ready and waiting for him to attack.

"Huh...... The purpose of his letter was to make me anxious, so that I would not dare to delay here because I was worried about the heavy cavalry, and to force me to take the initiative, that is, he hoped to lure me into the attack of the Suzaku Legion...... Hey, it seems that the heart of the 50,000 heavy horsemen who are in a hurry to die is not an ordinary eager......"

Immediately, Han Tong summoned all the generals under his command and went to the Shuai tent to discuss the matter.

"Hahaha, this Meng Huo is a bit interesting." After reading the letter, Gu Fengnan laughed.

"It's really clever, since we can hit the 50,000 heavy cavalry with one blow, then we don't have to wait." Yang Hong followed.

Han Tong said: "You are right, although we have a way to restrain the heavy cavalry, but if we can't destroy it with one blow, the future trouble is still very big, and when we eliminate the 50,000 heavy cavalry, we will see what tricks Yun Guo has at that time." ”

The rest of the generals nodded in agreement.

Although the Suzaku Legion is only 300,000 in number, the 300,000 army is a very powerful force, and when the momentum is like a bamboo, even a million army cannot be the enemy.

No, it should be said that there could not have been an army of millions.

With the ability of Yunguo, the existing army plus the newly recruited army can be put together, but this is the total army of the whole country, and it is impossible to mobilize all of them to the front line, let alone put them into one battlefield.

This is different from the original battle of the cave country, when the cave country was exhausted, and the 600,000 troops were all put into the front line at one time, so there was the famous battle of the Qilin army.

Han Tong estimated that on the frontal battlefield, if the army facing the Vermilion Bird Legion could meet an army of 500,000 at a time, it would already be a decisive battle.
