Chapter Eighty-Seven: Win-Win (Part II)

"Solve the last stroke..."Xue Xue was holding a head of grass clippings, dreamy, and slowly repeated with Zhu Chongjiu's words.

Solve the detachment, even if the task assigned to him by Tuhuan Timur is more than half completed. Then go back to the capital city by yourself, and never have to face this devilish Zhu butcher again. As for who will lead the troops south next time, it has nothing to do with him

However, there is the last bit of reason in his heart that insists, and insists on reminding Xue Xue not to be deceived. Zhu Butcher would not just let himself go, every time he proposed the construction yì seemed to be beneficial to himself, but in the end, he dragged himself into the trap step by step. He hated the court, hated all the Mongols, and he was ready to change the emperor's life, and the life of everyone

"I don't..."Using the last strength of her body, Xue Xue pushed Zhu Chongjiu away, shrunk and moved back with her knees, "I don't... I can't help you kill your own kind. You, kill me now, kill me quickly... Even if you kill me, I can't help you kill your own people..."

As he spoke, he grabbed the ground with his head and cried loudly.

"Who said you were going to kill your own people?" Zhu Chongjiu glanced at him, tilted his head and slowly stood up. "I rarely do harm to the captured Mongols, don't you know? Don't cry, don't cry, manly man, what does it look like to cry and cry? If you don't want to make a deal with me, you just go, I promise not to stop you. When Tokhtar is ready, I hope he can talk as well as I do..."

"No ........." Xue Xue fell down powerlessly again, tears welling up. Zhu Chongjiu is not fond of killing, which is a fact recognized by the court. The reason why I have lived until now is precisely because of this. And Totok, but he can't beat himself and Hama and others to ashes, although in terms of blood relationship, the latter is closer to him than Zhu Butcher.

"How else to say that you are confused..."Zhu Chongjiu sighed, squatted down again, picked up the towel from the ground, and wiped the snot and tears on Xuexue's face, "When you end the battle, do you have to kill someone?" There were many ways to end the fighting, but the brothers did not want to fight. The leader of the army was suspicious of his lord and ordered his class. Also, the simplest, the supply of grain and grass is not enough, and the morale of the army is fluctuating. Whichever one, don't you have to withdraw your troops? Why do you think about killing? …”

"You say, cut off the supply of grain and grass that has been lost?" Xue Xue looked up, her eyes full of confusion.

The army has no fighting spirit? Now the more than 200,000 troops under the command of Tokhtar have indeed long been tired of the war. Suspicious of the monarch and the minister? If Tuhuan Timur still trusted Tokhtar, he would not have sent himself over. However, neither of these two could make Tokhtar withdraw his army, because Tokhtar knew very well in his heart that if he returned to the army without any results, what awaited him himself would definitely be a disaster...

Therefore, there is only one way, to cut off the supply of food and grass to the army. This is something that the imperial court can't do, and the officials don't dare to do it, but it's most appropriate to let Zhu Chongjiu do it.

"The grain and grass of the army of 200,000 is not a small amount, and it will definitely be stored in a safe place... And this place, which cannot be more than a day's journey from the front ... If there is a waterway, it is the best, and if there is no waterway, it must be unimpeded with the front line, and there must not be too many mountains, rivers and rivers along the way..."Just as he was hesitating, Zhu Chongjiu's words sounded in his ears again, and the words were like a heavy hammer, knocking on the last line of defense in his heart. "Tell me where I am, I'll send someone to set a fire. There is no choice but to withdraw the troops..."

"Yellow Flag Fort..."Xue Xue waved her hand and quickly shrank her body backwards until her butt was against a wild tree, "The military rations are in Yellow Flag Fort." But you don't want to fight this idea... All the bridges on the Wei River are heavily guarded... From the Yellow Flag Fort to the defense areas of the battalions, the beacon towers were one after another. As soon as one point starts, the army of Tokhtar will be slaughtered from all directions..."

"My scouts also think that the granary should be there. After all, it was the place where Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, ordered his troops back then, and this person was very fond of vassal elegance..."As if he hadn't heard Xue Xue's words at all, Zhu Chongjiu analyzed with a smile.

"You, you're going to attack?" Xue Xue raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and asked in surprise.

After telling the location of the granary of the army, he felt a lot lighter in his heart. But at the same time, it began to suffer from gains and losses. In case Zhu Chongjiu failed to burn grain, but was defeated by Totok, he would completely sell himself. With the power of a great victory, Tokhtar will definitely continue to soar. And if any of the Huai'an soldiers surrendered to the imperial court after the defeat, all their dealings with Zhu Butcher would be exposed in broad daylight.

"Why should I storm? Let the brothers change into the clothes of the Yuan army and sneak over. Xue Xue, you don't even have a passing flag, do you? Slightly stunned by Xue Xue's question, Zhu Chongjiu looked at him and responded as a matter of course.

"No, it can't be..."Xue Xue, who had just regained a little strength, quickly collapsed to the ground again. Using his hands and feet together, he went around the trunk of the tree and continued to retreat again and again, "Impossible, I can't give you the command flag and let your people burn my own military rations... What do you think of me? I, why should I risk my life to help you? …”

"Friend, isn't it?" Zhu Chongjiu lowered his head and continued to look at Xue Xue in surprise, "If I didn't keep treating you as a friend, why would I do so many things for you?" My Xue Xue Anda, you won't bow to you for ninety-nine years, but you suddenly regret it when you shudder at the end, right? … Okay, you will watch with wide eyes tomorrow, how I will lead more than 10,000 brothers to fight a bloody way out of the 200,000-odd army of Detached, all the way to the Yellow Banner Fort..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."Xue Xue stopped retreating and shook her head weakly. The huge disparity in the strength of the two sides is the biggest problem facing Zhu Chongjiu. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time with Tokhtar, but he still couldn't get a result...

And let himself send his henchmen to lead the way for him with the command flag, and burn his own military rations. No matter what Xue Xue thought, she couldn't help but feel that this move was ridiculous. From ancient times to the present, have there been generals who have done this? Even if you have a deep hatred with the coach, it is impossible to make such a heartless move...

"This is the best solution I can think of, it's good for you and for me..."Zhu Chongjiu didn't feel that his request was too much, and slowly took a step forward, explaining very patiently, "According to businessmen, this is called a win-win situation." After the deed is done, Tokhtar can only lead the army to retreat in stride, and there will be no chance to demolish your record again. And on my side, I have also successfully achieved the goal of repelling him, and I can calmly return to Huai'an..."

"You think it's beautiful...", thinking that her record would be broken at any time, Xue Xue's heart kept sinking. Gripping the hay on the ground with his hands, he gasped with difficulty, "Take off and retreat, you just happened to follow and kill." Yizhou, Weizhou, and Jinan will fall into your hands in a blink of an eye. At the beginning, I was simply overjoyed. Zhu Chongjiu, you treacherous villain who kills pigs and sells meat. Why didn't I see what you were up to? …”

"This is not the way you do business..."Zhu Chongjiu was not angry, smiled, and retorted very patiently, "The emphasis on doing business is to only count whether you make money or not, and don't look at how much others make." Do you dare to say that after the defeat of Tokhtar, there will be no other benefit to you? Don't tell me, you really wanted to help him when you came here..."

"I, I, you profiteer..."Xue Xue raised her fist and smashed it at the dry grass. When I led the army, of course, it wasn't to help escape. And after the defeat of the Tokhtar army, it was easy for the court to solve him again. It's just that it's just 240,000 troops, and the 240,000 army has no food, how can the whole division retreat. After Zhu Chongjiu took the advantage, how could he stop halfway?

"And your algorithm just now is obviously wrong...?" Zhu Chongjiu took another step forward slowly, and shook his head with a wry smile. "You don't want to think about how many soldiers and horses I have under my command, how can I go and snatch Jinan and other places back. It's easy to fight, but I'm going to defend it, right? Now that the city is mine, I'll have to send a civil servant to govern it... The common people have no food, and I can't watch them starve to death. I just got a Guide and a Suzhou, am I not big enough? Am I crazy, or am I fed up and making trouble for myself? ”

"This" Xue Xue did not take into account the fact that the Huai'an army was expanding too fast and was on the verge of dying. The hand that was pounding the ground stopped in mid-air, and his eyes widened.

"Do you know the battle of Guandu? Yuan Shao's grain was burned by Cao Cao's fire, didn't he also retreat with the whole division. Why didn't Cao Cao chase after the Yellow River, wasn't it just that he couldn't do it? Zhu Chongjiu slowly moved to Xue Xue's side and gave an example with a smile.

Influenced by his big butterfly, Luo Guanzhong was doing a good job as a prefect in Yangzhou, and he didn't have time to write the world-famous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Therefore, the world has not been too misled by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the history of the Three Kingdoms struggle for hegemony at the end of the Han Dynasty. Xue Xue has received a fairly complete education in Sinology and knows all the allusions in the official history "Three Kingdoms". In particular, the course and results of several famous battles are simply familiar.

In the battle of Guandu, although Cao Cao relied on his proper command, he gave Yuan Shao a blow to the head. After that, he did not have the ability to follow and kill, and continued to expand the results. In terms of overall strength, the Yuan family army was still stronger than the Cao family army, and even in the second year of the Battle of Guandu, he pacified the civil strife under his rule, regrouped, and prepared to fight Cao Cao again.

It's just that God really favored Cao Cao, so that Yuan Shao suddenly fell ill and died. And his two sons are too incompetitive and cannibalistic. In the end, the guide zhì was broken by Cao Cao, and the tragic ending of his death and annihilation.

And the current situation, isn't it very similar to Cao Jun and Yuan Jun back then? Cao Cao was lucky to win and established his prestige, but his foundation and strength were still far from Yuan Shao's. And as long as Yuan Shao's side does not have the death of the lord and the tragedy of the two sons vying for the throne, there may not be a day when they will make a comeback.

Zhu Chongjiu only had half of Henan and Denglai prefectures, while the imperial court had 20 times his territory and 100 times his population. After eradicating the powerful minister, the decree was unimpeded, and the top and bottom worked together, and within a year, an army of 300,000 could be reorganized and killed in Huai'an again

A bright flame gradually burned under Xue Xue's eyes. The world in the woods is no longer dim and lightless. He knew that Zhu Chongjiu was right just now, and this was a win-win choice. One side wins in the present, and the other side wins the whole future...

"I have no grievances with you Xue Xue, and I am even very close to you..."Afraid that Xue Xue would not be shaken completely enough, Zhu Chongjiu slowly took another step forward and said in a very low voice, "The reason why I want to kill Tofu is because he sent people to blow up the Yellow River, causing more than a million Li Shu to die in the belly of the fish." But I have no undying enmity with you, or with the other Mongols. As long as Tokhtar is cornered, I can return to Huai'an immediately. If you still feel at a loss, I can promise you that after the deed is completed, within a year, my Huai'an army will only be half a step in Weishui..."

"Really?" Xue Xue's eyes instantly began to glow, and there was a cold flame hunting and burning. raised his head and stared at Zhu Chongjiu, lest what he had just heard was wrong.

The Weishui River originates from Jiwu Mountain in Juxian County, flows through Juxian, Yishui and Wulian, enters Weizhou from the north of Wulian, and finally flows into the sea from Changyi. The east and west roads of Shandong are divided into two from south to north, and to the west, there are rich and dangerous places such as Yidu, Jinan and Banyang. To the east, there are only Dengzhou, Laizhou and Jiaozhou, which are small fishing villages where birds don't poop.

If the Huai'an army only trapped Denglai, it would pose no threat to the rest of Zhongshu Province. And even if this battle is commanded by Toto, and continues to fight for a whole year, I am afraid that it will be the same result. With strong ships and artillery, the Huai'an army can constantly mobilize troops and horses in Laizhou and Jiaozhou, and can even transport reinforcements directly from Huai'an. And even if he knows how to fight well, he is helpless against Zhu Chongjiu, who takes Laizhou and Jiaozhou as the horns and can't defend against the sea.

"What I told you before, has there ever been a time when I haven't fulfilled it?" Zhu Chongjiu didn't answer Xue Xue's words directly, but asked with a smile.

This question made Xue Xue completely determined. Zhu Chongjiu is indeed a devil, and he is indeed good at demagogy, but he, the devil, is a man of his word. Therefore, at the moment of life and death, Xue Xue would rather give her back to this enemy than choose her own kind...

"No—" Looking at Zhu Chongjiu's eyes, he gritted his teeth and nodded. You are indeed a very trustworthy person..."

With that, he jerked up, like a gambler with a red eye, jumped up, stretched out his palm, and the veins on the back of his hand jumped suddenly. "How many people, you name it. I'll send my henchmen to pick it up tomorrow evening... Remember, this is the last time. From now on, let's clear the two..."

"Deal..."Zhu Chongjiu smiled and stretched out his hand, hitting Xue Xue's hand in mid-air.

"Smack... Syllable... "In the dark night, the high-five sounded particularly loud...
