Chapter 53: Division of Troops
"Go to Chu State?" Mu Ming was a little puzzled. In Mu Ming's heart, Chu State is not the first choice, it is right that this place is closest to Chu State, but there is no reason for Dead Wood not to know, and there will definitely be heavy troops along the road, and it is strange that more than 10,000 of them go to Chu State without being discovered.
"That's right, in the early years, I had some friendship with the magician, and he is now the general of the Chu State, and I think he may be able to help us a little. ”
As soon as Mo Wuji's words fell, the people around him looked at him, what a magician, a living legend, if Mo Wuji has a friendship with him and can get his help, not to mention that the Ji family is no longer in charge, even if he is in charge, Mo Wuji wants to ascend the throne, the Ji family probably doesn't dare to say anything.
Because the state of Chu is the only vassal state that has not been controlled by the hermit family, and it is also the only kingdom that dares to argue with the hermit family.
"Then why didn't you directly find out this relationship before, so that Your Highness, you would not be exiled to Mobei for 12 years. Shan Lei couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
At this time, Mo Wuji showed a look of embarrassment.
"After all, it's been a long time, and I don't know if it will work, so I wasn't embarrassed to mention it at the beginning. ”
Knowing that Mo Wuji meant some luck, Mu Ming said:
"If this is the case, I still suggest that Your Highness do not go to the Chu State first. ”
Mo Wuji asked, "Why?"
Mu Ming immediately expressed his doubts, and everyone echoed him: "Yes, Mr. is not unreasonable to worry about, so many of us went to Chu Country together, not only is the movement big, but the speed will definitely not be very fast, coupled with the siege of dead wood, I am afraid that even if we arrive in Chu State, we will not have many people left." ”
Mo Wuji seemed to have already considered: "What if we divide our troops? I, my husband and Yiyang will take a small number of people to the Chu State and attract the attention of the dead wood at the same time, while General Sun, General Shan Lei, and General Qian Sen will lead a large group of men and horses to take the opportunity to evacuate to the north. ”
Sun Yu still disagreed: "Even if you can attract the attention of the dead wood, the movement of the large army will definitely not be small, and sooner or later it will be discovered by the dead wood, and when the time comes, we will fight separately, and I am afraid that we will be destroyed faster." ”
Indeed, after all, there are too many people, no matter how hidden they are, they will leave traces, and the dead wood will definitely track down Sun Yu and them in the end.
"But even if we don't divide our troops, how long does General Sun think we can last together?" Mo Wuji asked rhetorically.
"This ......," Sun Yu couldn't answer.
Mo Wuji continued: "Divide the troops, as long as the generals can hold out until I get the help of the magician, the deadwood naturally does not pose a threat, if you don't divide the troops, you will definitely die." ”
Everyone was speechless, because Mo Wuji was not sure if he could get the help of the magician, but what Mo Wuji said also made sense, there was at least a glimmer of hope in dividing the troops, but after the division of the troops, where should they hide?
Mu Ming thought differently from the generals, and he suddenly asked, "How sure is Your Highness about magicians?"
Mo Wuji was stunned, and then understood what Mu Ming was asking.
"About sixty percent. Mo Wuji was unsure, in fact, he felt that it was a bit exaggerated.
"Sixty percent? More than four achievements have a chance to be sure, after all, we don't have to pay any price for this. ”
Without waiting for the generals to refute, Mu Ming began to arrange things: "General Shan Lei, you lead 500 people to leave from the east, and try to make traces of 10,000 people leaving." General Chanson, you led 500 people to leave from the west, and like General Shan Lei, you made traces of 10,000 people leaving, and the two generals must remember that the traces must be realistic, and do not let the enemy see through them easily. ”
After solemnly explaining Shan Lei and Qian Sen, Mu Ming set his eyes on Mo Wuji again: "Then it's me, His Highness and Yi Yang to lead 500 people to Chu State, during which it is best not to fight with the enemy, but let them discover us." ”
"Finally, General Sun Yu, the rest of the people are led by you, you don't need to deliberately hide your tracks, march quickly, retreat to fifty miles north of Wolf Mountain, and then quickly return to Wolf Mountain. On the way back, you must carefully hide your tracks, preferring to be slow or to make yourself disappear. The grass and shrubs on the north side of Wolf Mountain, and under the nose of dead wood, it is dark under the lamp, which should allow you to hide for a long time. ”
Mu Ming's arrangement was orderly, which made the big stone in the hearts of the generals settle down a lot, and he immediately shouted: "Yes!"
Mo Wuji also showed a smile on his face, and said, "Without further ado, let's divide our troops now." ”
Shan Lei and Qian Sen each led 500 people to set off, and Mu Ming also selected 500 people, and was about to say goodbye to Sun Yu at this time.
"General Sun, in fact, what I'm most worried about is on your side, after all, Shan Lei and General Qian Sen have fewer people and are suitable for hiding, but you have 10,000 people on your side, which is easy to be discovered, and I hope the general will be careful and careful. ”
Sun Yu hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, Mr., Sun Yu must be more careful and live up to Mr.'s trust." ”
Mu Ming nodded and continued: "When the general arrives fifty miles north of Wolf Mountain, he must turn back immediately, and at this time, he must be more careful, once the traces of your return are discovered, it will fall short. ”
"The last will understand. ”
Mu Ming patted Sun Yu on the shoulder heavily, and said, "General take care, when I see you again, I will definitely kill you on Wolf Mountain and drink a few cups." ”
In the end, the two went against each other.
Mu Ming and Mo Wuji's first task is to attract the enemy, but the enemy can't find out their specific number, which is a little more difficult.
First of all, Mu Ming sent a few clever brothers to explore the way, while the rest of the people hid and waited for news.
It didn't take long for the brothers sent to return one after another. When everyone came back, Mu Ming asked, "How?"
"Tell Your Highness and Sir, most of us are looking for our traces everywhere in the dense forest, and some of us have even gone in the direction of Qian Sen and General Shan Lei who have already set off first. As for General Sun Yu's side, because it is in the opposite direction from us, it is not known whether anyone has found their traces. ”
Mu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said softly: "Very good, find out where they are stationed?"
The brothers who came back shook their heads one after another, since it was a search, they would definitely have to move around, where there would be a station.
"But there was one place where the enemy didn't seem to be moving much, as if they were resting. ”
Mu Ming asked eagerly, "How many people?"
"About 5,000 people. ”
Mu Ming was a little disappointed and muttered, "It's only 5,000 people, a little less." ”
The soldiers looked at each other, they were only 500 people, 5,000 people is already a lot, okay.
Mu Ming didn't seem to notice the expressions of these people, and said directly to Mo Wuji: "Your Highness, you and Yi Yang take Ruitong and Xiao Laosan and a few shrewd brothers to leave first, and I and the rest of the brothers will do something and chase you." ”
Mo Wuji hesitated: "Sir, what are you going to do? I'll accompany you!"
Mu Ming hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "No need, Your Highness just take them away, and be careful not to be discovered." ”
Mo Wuji struggled for a while, and finally agreed to Mu Ming to take a step first.
