Cicada Moult 5 Section 5
In the fifth section, Wu Ming couldn't help but ask, "Why?" Now what is dragging down our army is those cattle and sheep, and the baggage is heavy. These things were meant to be returned to Pabri. The fact that the Persians have come to consult with us by letter proves that they are not sure of what they are dealing with us now. If you give up these burdens and deal with them, you can at least be invincible. ”
Li Yuan said loudly on the side: "That's it, those burdens are Pabri's old boy anyway, and now they are saving his life, and he has nothing to say if he loses it, as long as the team is maneuvering, don't look at those elephants, see if I don't play it around." Besides, isn't the receiving force of the Southern Barbarians about to arrive? When the time comes, their emperor will be in our hands, and the Persians are going to arrest their emperor again, and they will definitely find the Persians desperately, hehe......" Speaking of this, he laughed proudly.
Wu Ming suddenly felt a chill, Li Yuan was thick and fine, which he knew when the prince asked him to arrest him during the Southern Expedition, and this time he learned a good lesson.
Tao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Master Li, I'm afraid the Nanban troops you said are gone." The letter makes it clear that the Pegasus Legion has been blocked by the Persians outside the valley of Wangxiang, and the two sides are engaged in battle. ”
Wu Ming exclaimed: "Why are there so many Persians all of a sudden?" Are they going to go on a crusade again? ”
Tao Yu said: "In the future, the danger of this Daya Snow Mountain is estimated to be a thing of the past." In order to force me to surrender the Nanban Emperor, the Persians made it clear in their letter that they had discovered a cave hidden in the mountains, traversing the Daya Snow Mountains. Their follow-up troops will come over one after another. ”
"And such a thing?" Even if Wu Ming was calm by nature, he also screamed at this time.
Like a giant dragon, Daya Snow Mountain curls up and hovers in the southwest of the continent, separating Persia from the Southern Barbarians and the Eastern Han Dynasty. Every time the belligerent Persians invaded the southern barbarians in order to conquer the south, they had to choose to invade from the slower part of the southern foothills of the snow-capped mountains. Since the establishment of the fortress of Dun, even this invasion route has been blocked. Now the appearance of this cave may have stimulated the aggressive ambitions of the Persians.
Tao Yu smiled lightly: "Perhaps, the appearance of this cave is an opportunity for us." ”
Nanban and Persia have become a feud, and the appearance of this cave is nothing less than adding fuel to the fire. Tao Yu meant that Pabri's energy was attracted to Persia, and she had time to rectify the interior of the Eastern Han Dynasty. And time is what they lack the most right now.
Wu Ming shook his head and said, "But first of all, we have to get through the difficulties in front of us, the first is to get rid of these Persian entanglements, and the second is to send Pabri back safely." ”
Several people discussed for a long time, but they really couldn't find a good way. The thousands of people on the other side seem to be the vanguard troops, and they may have seen the strict appearance of the Black Armor Army just now, so they didn't dare to act rashly. But as the Persians grew stronger, their last scruples would surely disappear as their forces grew. can be the current strength of the other side, and attacking the opponent will definitely outweigh the losses, and it will be difficult to run. It's a dead knot.
Tao Yu finally said: "A few people, after discussing for a long time, there is no specific way. Go down and think about it, if there is a good way. Remember to inform me, it's really not possible, at noon tonight, retreat to the court side on time. ”
She's going to take a gamble.
But there is no way out, and now that the Persians have discovered the crowd, the longer they stay, the more reinforcements the enemy will have. When the time comes, I'm afraid that even if I want to leave, I won't have a chance.
Several people answered in unison, "Yes." Wu Ming glanced at Liao Gang and found that he looked up and glanced at the curtain, looking like he wanted to say something and stopped. Probably wanted to say something grateful, he couldn't help but admire Tao Yu even more.
Li Yuan and Liao Gang gave a salute and then retreated. Wu Ming walked last, and when he walked out of the camp, Tao Yu's voice came intermittently through the curtain, as if he was speaking under the water: "Lord Wu, you say, if I give Pabri to the Persians, will you agree?" ”
Wu Ming's body shook, he stood up straight, turned his head, and said to the black shadow behind the curtain: "Niangniang, Your Highness will not agree to you doing this." ”
Tao Yu sighed softly, as if he was talking to himself, and muttered to Wu Ming: "Yes, he won't agree, he won't agree......"
When he returned to his camp, it was already evening, and Wu Ming was not in the mood to eat. He took out the "Seven Explanations of Marksmanship" from his chest and flipped through it, hoping to find a good way. It's just that most of this book talks about gun skills and some drills on the battlefield, but there is almost zero strategy. stared blankly at the first sentence of the book: "Do big things, don't be informal." Mercy on the common people, the first priority for all sentient beings. Thinking about what Tao Yu said just now, his mind had already become a pot of porridge, and he could sort out half of the clues.
Perhaps, from Tao Yu's heart, she is more inclined to break Pabri's body into ten thousand pieces. Only at that moment just now did he feel that he had truly touched the true heart of the Eastern Han Dynasty Crown Princess, the heart that was becoming more and more lonely.
Just thinking about it, a gust of wind blew, and the curtain in the tent was lifted high, and the book was suddenly turned over by the autumn wind, as if there was an invisible hand. There was a thin old man, talking to him.
Suddenly, someone outside shouted, "Is Lord Wu here?" ”
The voice was a little timid, Wu Ming hurriedly wiped his face and said, "Come in." ”
The curtain was lifted, but it was Liao Gang who came in. He stood at the door, a little hesitant, Wu Ming said, "Young Governor, is there anything to do with me?" ”
Liao Gang walked in, his face was a little red, and said, "Lord Wu, I have thought of a way, but I don't know if it is feasible or not." ”
Wu Ming couldn't help but want to laugh a little, Tao Yu asked Liao Gang to discuss, but it was only the most important thing to woo, after all, the content of their discussion, although it was confidential, Liao Gang was now living in the guard camp, almost all of them were under Wu Ming's nose, even if he wanted to pass on some information, it was impossible. This kind of benefit without cost, Tao Yu is naturally happy to give more, and he also has to make a good fate. I thought that the other party was really energetic. He didn't listen to it, but after thinking about it, he had to do a full set of plays, and if he was impatient now, wouldn't he be sorry for Tao Yu's hard work.
So he smiled and said, "Say, what is the young governor's plan?" ”
Liao Gang was a little hesitant, but at this time he was encouraged, and his face showed joy, and said: "My lord, when I was a child, I lived in Nanban for a long time, and hunting has become a big hobby of mine, and hunters track wild beasts, and most of them rely on footprints to determine the direction......"
Wu Mingman thought that he could come up with a slightly more reliable idea, but he didn't expect it to be about hunting, so he looked at him with a little irony and said, "But, does this help us get out of the current predicament?" ”
Liao Gang said: "Yes, for example, a hare, in the process of escaping, deliberately left messy footprints to mislead the hunter's sight, while the real body went in the other direction, jumped out of the distance, and then fled." ”
Wu Ming felt a little sleepy, yawned, and said, "What does this true and false footprint have to do with us?" ”
Liao Gang snorted: "We still have a large herd of cattle and sheep, baggage, these are fake footprints......
Although he said it quietly, Wu Ming's mind was suddenly like a lightning bolt, and he suddenly lost his sleepiness, stood up suddenly, and said, "Footprints ......"
Liao Gang nodded and said, "Exactly, there are so many cattle and sheep now, and they are heavy." I'm going to lose it anyway. Wouldn't it be very expensive to just leave it in place? We can run away overnight, separate a small group of people, drive cattle, sheep, and baggage, and flee disguised as a large army. The elephants of the Persians are very slow, and they will definitely not be able to catch up for a while, and by the time they react, our main force will probably be there long ago. ”
Wu Mingdao: "Exactly, the Persians definitely didn't expect us to come to such a hand, once they get to the court, they chase after it, it is equivalent to declaring war with two countries at the same time, there must be something taboo." He took a few steps through the camp, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it worked. Said: "Young Governor, this method is really good, I'll go and tell Niangniang now, if you can get away this time, you will be the first credit." ”
Liao Gang's face was also extremely excited, and he said, "Thank you, Lord Wu." ”
Wu Ming asked Liao Gang to go back to prepare first, and he went to report to Tao Yu first. According to Liao Gang, if you put in a little effort, you should be able to deceive the Persians. It's just that this thing is easy to say, but there are many things to be arranged. And once escaped, how to send Pabri back is also a problem. These things need to come up with a detailed charter, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, stood up, and walked out of the camp.
When I got outside, I met He Yi, and the two were stunned at the same time, He Yi said: "Still going out so late?" "In the past few days, Wu Ming has had some problems with his practice, and during this time, He Yi has come to visit him almost every night.
Wu Ming said: "There is still a little urgency to discuss with Niangniang, Xiaoyi, you go and rest, it's always good to sleep a little longer." ”
He Yi was stunned: "What, is there going to be a war again?" Didn't the Persians withdraw their troops today? Wu Ming sighed lightly and said, "If nothing else, there should be a retreat overnight at night, so you can go and prepare." ”
He Yi lowered his head, looked at his hands, and said after a while: "Oh, you also pay attention to your body." ”
The night is as dark as an abyss. He walked over, gently hugged the other party, felt the heat of the Yiren in his arms, and muttered, "I'm going to be home soon, and I'll be fine as soon as I get home." ”
