Mu Zhen walked out of the big tent, looked at the heavy rain curtain, looked at the hazy distant mountains in the distance, and showed a gloating smile on his face, and muttered: "With such a heavy rain, see how long you can hold on?" The general Vanne walked through the rain curtain to Mu Jin, and he was already soaked after a few steps. He saluted, "General, you called me?" ”

Mujin turned and walked into the tent, and Vanne hurriedly followed.

Mu Zhen walked to the top and sat down. Vanne stood below, wiping the rain from his face with his hand.

Mu Zhen said: "You immediately take people to the grain and grass storage land, dig ditches and drain the water, and don't let the water flood the grain and grass!" As soon as the weather improves, immediately open the warehouse to dry! Whether our army can win this time depends on these grains and grasses! Vanne said yes and ran down, and the figure disappeared into the rain at once.

Another general, Saito, rushed in and gave a chest salute from the Western Regions, "General, the envoys to various countries have returned." Mu Zhen hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Saito said with an angry face: "Those wall grasses find all kinds of reasons to shirk it!" I heard news that several of these countries had secretly provided food and grass to the Han army! ”

Mu Zhen's face was gloomy; "They're looking for death!" After a pause, he said to Saito: "Send someone to warn them, don't hook up with the Han army, otherwise once our army defeats the Han army, we will never forgive them!" Saito said yes and retreated.

At this time, the kings and ministers of the Western Regions countries are in a state of restlessness, and they can only rely on one strong man to survive, but now that the two strong countries are fighting each other on their land, these small countries don't know what to do! Help the Great Moon Clan, and worry that the Han Army will not spare them once it wins, but if you want to help the Han Army, what if the Great Moon Clan wins? Some kings came up with a way to secretly send messengers to both ends to show their loyalty.

It rained heavily for three days and three nights, and the turbid waves of the Tarim River were emptied, and even if the Han army wanted to force the Tarim River at this time, it would be impossible! In order to avoid being affected by the flood, the armies of both sides retreated more than ten miles one after another and chose to camp on high places.

The heavy rain was only heard for one night, and the next day the heavy rain came again.

In the sound of the sudden wind and rain, accompanied by lightning and thunder, the huge military camp seemed to be destroyed at any time in the storm. Zhang Liao stood in front of the map of the big tent, looking at the map, his brows furrowed. A few days have passed, but there is no news of the general, which makes him very uneasy, will the majestic rain trap the general? If that's the case, it's not good! The general only carried a few days of grain and grass, and if he was trapped by the flood, the consequences would be unimaginable!

……

Tens of thousands of iron horsemen stared at the majestic shower, galloping in the heavy night, the sound of the torrential rain drowned out the sound of horses' hooves, all the horses were already soaked, and the soldiers looked very tired.

Zhang Lang grabbed the reins of the horse and asked, "Where is this?" ”

The deputy general, who was originally under Zhang Jian's command and now serves as a guide for Zhang Lang, looked around and said to Zhang Lang: "The rain is too heavy, and it's really unclear at night!" However, the Green Ridge River, which we read in the evening, walked north for most of the night, and should be almost to Wensu.

Zhang Lang looked around, and faintly saw that there was a few miles behind the rain curtain in front of him, so he said to Ma Chao: "The army entered the woods to rest for a while, and sprinkled scouts to find the location of Wensu." Ma Chao hugged his fists and promised, and rode his horse down.

A moment later, the army entered the woods, and the exhausted soldiers sat down to rest and brought out dry rations to eat. At the same time, several scouts rushed out of the woods and sped away in three directions, northeast and west.

One night passed, and the rain finally stopped. The fog in the woods after the rain is very hazy and damp, and people feel as if they are immersed in water. The cough was remembered from time to time, and the medical officer handed the boiled decoction to everyone, and a bowl of hot decoction was put into the stomach, and the damp cold on the body immediately subsided a lot.

The sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the woods, and a scout rode in. came straight to Zhang Lang, turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said, "General, I have found Wensu." ”

Zhang Lang's eyes lit up, "Where is it?" ”

The scout said, "It's more than thirty miles southeast of this forest. ”

Zhang Lang was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked Yang Kun to bring the map to look at, and pointed to a place more than thirty miles northwest, "We are here." I didn't expect it to surpass Wensu. Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "The enemy army must be unprepared, I am willing to lead 10,000 cavalry to raid Wensu." Zhang Lang nodded, "Let's go immediately." ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and promised.

……

Mu Zhen was entertaining several envoys from several Western Regions countries who were closer to the Otsutsuki clan. Everyone talked happily, Mu Zhen's tone was quite attentive to those countries, and the envoys expressed great respect and admiration for the Otsuki clan.

At this moment, a herald rushed in in a hurry, "Great, general......" Seeing several messengers around him, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Mu Zhen was displeased, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The herald looked at the messengers around him, and he looked like he wanted to say something. Mu Zhen said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it!" It's all friends, no outsiders! ”

The herald hurriedly said, "Wensu is lost!" ”

Everyone present was stunned. Mu Zhen came back to his senses and scolded angrily: "Nonsense! Do you dare to lie about the military situation? The herald hurriedly said, "The subordinates don't dare!" Wensu is indeed lost! It was said by the officers and soldiers who fled back from Wensu! ”

Mu Zhen was stunned for a long time, and shouted angrily: "Wensu is behind our army, how can it be lost?" Could it be that the Han army will not be able to fly? The herald said: "Listen to the defeated soldiers of Wensu, the Han army is coming from the northwest of Wensu!" Mu Zhen shook his head in disbelief: "This is even more impossible! ”

The envoys in the big tent were also a little flustered, and these countries that had pressed the treasure on the Great Moon Clan now found that they might have made a mistake!

Mu Zhen glanced at the envoys and said, "I hope that all countries will act according to what we have just agreed." The messengers replied haphazardly, and they all got up to take their leave.

Mu Zhen frowned, stood up, walked to the herald, and asked in a deep voice, "Which army attacked Wensu?" Who leads? How many people are there? ”

"Listening to the report of the defeated army, it was Zhang Lang, the general of the Han people, who personally led the army, with a number of sixty or seventy thousand, all of them were assault cavalry!"

Mu Zhen was taken aback and muttered, "How is this possible? Isn't the battle flag of the Han army general on the other side? He walked quickly to the map, looked at the map and frowned, and said, "How did they get around?" Turning around, "Call the people to the Great Tent at once!" The herald said yes and ran down. A moment later the generals gathered together in the great tent.
