Meng Shu was waiting for the thunder to strike, but Zhang Ye was not in a hurry or slow, it was like a tour of the mountains and rivers all day long, and the goal seemed to be getting more and more away from Wutuo Mountain.

Zhang Ye is not in a hurry, Niutang is in a hurry, this guy has to waste such an army of 20,000 people, how much grain and grass does he have to transport!

Niu Tang had to remind: "Emperor Zun, let's travel like this all day long, is it a little out of track, Vulture Bone and Duo Si have already sent someone to deliver a letter a few days ago to say that they have taken the Ugo Kingdom and the Bald Dragon Cave." ”

Zhang Ye sighed, these people are too decent, and they haven't practiced shameless skills at all, so they will naturally suffer.

If you want to say that the first shameless person in the Three Kingdoms, it has to be Cao Cao, this guy can say that Ning Jiao I am responsible for the world, which shows how thick his skin can be.

Zhang Ye doesn't blame Niu Tang, there will definitely be many people who don't understand his approach in this era, obviously he is going to Wutuo Mountain, the art of war is expensive and fast, and Meng Shu has already gone back, but he still doesn't have the slightest intention of speeding up the march.

But Zhang Ye has Zhang Ye's intentions, he only has 20,000 people in his hands, although the vulture bone and Duo Si have successfully recaptured what belongs to them, but they still need a certain amount of time to rest.

It is not impossible for Zhang Ye's 20,000 people to touch Meng Shu's 50,000 people, but if this continues, it will definitely cause great casualties, which is inconsistent with Zhang Ye's strategy.

Moreover, Meng returned from a big victory, and at this moment, whether his morale or prestige was at the commanding heights, he definitely wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to strike a blow and decide the victory with Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye wouldn't be so stupid to run over and be cannon fodder!

He doesn't have many resources in his hands, but the population ceiling is almost there, and the main thing is that there are no gold mines left, and without this source, there are very few gold coins that can be increased, except for plunder.

However, now Zhang Ye has two-thirds of the Southern Barbarian Land, and it is somewhat unreasonable to plunder his own things.

That's why Zhang Ye arranged such a march, and he naturally had his reasons.

"Report! Emperor Zun, less than ten miles ahead is Ma'er Mountain, the Ma'er tribe is gathered here, due to the reason of the defeat, at this moment the Ma'er warriors are less than 3,000. ”

"Good!" Zhang Ye shouted, frightening everyone around him a little confused, they didn't understand why such a weak cave made Zhang Ye so happy.

"We're going to fight this Maltese today, and let them provide us with food and shelter and water!" Zhang Ye continued.

The fierce bull slapped his head and closed his eyes, Niu Tang also turned his head to the side, shrinking his head and buttoning his nails, Qiao Lao couldn't bear to look at this side

Everyone sighed in their hearts: It turns out that the good in the emperor's mouth refers to this meaning, it is just a tribe of 3,000 people, is it worth being so happy to bully the small?

Zhang Ye didn't care what kind of reaction everyone had, anyway, he was very excited to personally command an army of 20,000 to attack this small tribe.

It didn't last long before the Maltese surrendered, providing not only food to eat, but also some water.

Zhang Ye's army of 20,000 was fully rested

After the patriarch of the Ma'er tribe personally entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Ye asked directly: "Ma'er patriarch, what other forces are there around here?" ”

The patriarch of the Ma'er tribe said cautiously: "Emperor Zun, twenty miles to the west is the territory of the Snow Leopard Clan, they still have more than 5,000 warriors, and fifty miles to the south is the Black Ant Clan, and there are still 8,000 warriors who can fight."

"Wait, what I'm going to ask is if there are only two or three thousand warriors like the Maltes, or even less!!"

"Huh?"

After Zhang Ye asked, the patriarch of the Maer clan was directly stupid, isn't it that the more people are destroyed, the greater the race, the more prestige it has? Why does this emperor look like he is bullying the weak.

The patriarch of the Maer clan didn't dare to look at Zhang Ye, but he looked around, wanting to see something else.

The fierce bull covered his face with his hands and kept rubbing his face, not knowing what he had bitten.

Niu Tang: "I'll go out to see my Kodo beast, this guy eats a lot, I don't know if he's full"

Shrinking his head and hurriedly said, "It just so happens that I'm going with you, I like that big guy the most." ”

Qiao Lao wanted to go with them, but he was a step too slow, and suddenly he had a whim, thinking of his ghost wolf, and he also said: "I'm also going to see my ghost wolf, I don't know if it's full?" ”

The entire Chinese army tent will leave after a while, and the fierce bull will be left, but the fierce bull has been covering his face, without a trace of looking at it.

The patriarch of the Ma'er clan was already crying, he couldn't figure out what Zhang Ye meant, what was this emperor going to do? And the generals under him are also running faster than they came.

The gang all ran away, and the remaining fierce bull did not look at him, and the patriarch of the Maer tribe was also helpless, so he had to say: "There is a small cave thirty miles northwest, called Huya Cave, which is basically full of old and weak women and children, but there are less than 2,000 warriors. ”

Zhang Ye was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was even inferior to the Maer tribe, and they were basically old and weak, women and children, which was good, and it was estimated that he would be able to win it soon.

Immediately, Zhang Ye said: "Okay, let's fight this tiger tooth hole next." ”

As soon as the words fell, the fierce bull snapped and slapped himself in the face again: "Why are there so many insects in this account, it seems that my old cow needs to go out and hide." ”

After finishing speaking, the fierce bull walked out of the Chinese army's tent quickly

For several days, Zhang Ye did not stop, he kept going between the small caves, sometimes he could connect several small caves in a day, but Zhang Ye just didn't mean to go to the asbestos cave.

These few days are not without results, Zhang Ye has subdued more than 10,000 soldiers who can fight, and every day is to surrender these small caves to manage food and drink, Zhang Ye has not paid a drop of food here.

The force is like a snowball, and gradually the seventy-two holes of Nanban, Zhang Ye has already obtained more than forty holes in his hands, and the twenty or so holes belonging to Meng Shu are now decreasing at a visible rate.

Zhang Ye's combatable soldiers have gradually changed to 30,000, and along the way, in addition to leaving some necessary combatable soldiers for those patriarchs, the remaining soldiers have been included in Zhang Ye's fire dissolving army.

Wutuo Mountain Asbestos Cave.

Meng Yu received military reports every day, his teeth were itching, Zhang Ye had no intention of coming to fight him at all, but kept fighting the idea of the surrounding small caves.

Slapped the table next to him with his hand, Meng Shu said: "No, we can't wait, if we continue like this, we will be surrounded by Zhang Ye, and when the time comes, everyone will betray and leave, and there will be no chance of winning at all." ”

Meng Jie pondered: "Maybe Zhang Ye is using this trick to provoke you out, second brother, the asbestos cave is our foundation, who can guard the asbestos cave after you leave?" What should we do in case Ichino sends an army to sneak attack? ”
