Mangshan Barracks.

In the past few days, scouts have been returning from Mangshan and bringing back news about the mountain barbarians one after another.

This time, the mountain barbarians did not hide their whereabouts, they sent 100,000 troops, and almost swaggered out of the deep mountains.

"Grandmaster, the barbarians have traveled a hundred miles away, and the number is more than 100,000."

"Grandmaster, the barbarians have arrived fifty miles away, and they have sent a large number of falcons." Falcon is a scout of the domesticated animals of the mountain barbarians, with sharp eyes and can fly thousands of meters high, but they can clearly see the ground.

Looking up from the Mangshan barracks, you can see falcons flying over the mountains and forests from time to time, it can be said that the situation in the Mangshan barracks is under the control of the mountain barbarians, and the trick of intercepting and sneaking in halfway is completely unworkable.

What's even more terrifying is that there are only 50,000 people in the Mangshan military camp, and in the face of the attack of 100,000 barbarians, even if there are military camps and various fortifications as support, the barbarians are brave, although these preparations are complete, but they still make people feel empty.

The generals of the barracks tensed their nerves one by one, stationed in their positions, and did not dare to relax for a moment, and the sergeants had no smiles on their faces, and their faces were gloomy.

No one knows who will survive this battle, but everyone has a common understanding that this battle will be extremely tragic, many people will die, and even the generals in the army will feel that their fate is slim.

Faced with the oppression of an army of 100,000 barbarians, the entire barracks was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

But at this time, Su Ke's tent was a different scene, where there was a warm stove, delicate side dishes were placed on the table, and Cai Qing, a famous man, sat opposite, the two were talking and laughing, drinking and drinking, and there was no tension before the war.

To be precise, Su Ke was not a little nervous, but the smile on Cai Qing's face became more and more reluctant.

After eating a few bites of fried yam tablets unique to the Mangshan region, seeing that Su Ke had not talked about military affairs, Cai Qing finally couldn't hold it back, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said solemnly: "Grandmaster, the barbarian army is approaching, and the military strength is twice as strong as ours." The grandmaster is a marshal in the army, and it is probably not appropriate to talk about poetry and essays with Qing, a scholar, here. ”

The scout kept reporting the news of the mountain barbarians, and he was trembling when he heard it, and he was ready to flee in defeat, and the person on the other side was still like no one, this is like a child's play!

"Am I mistaken about him? In the war, if the situation is unfavorable, with the ability of the other party's grandmaster, it is natural to leave as soon as he wants, and no one can stop him. But these 50,000 troops are afraid that the consequences are unpredictable! ”

There are some situations that he doesn't dare to think about, but if the situation is unfavorable, it is possible to be completely annihilated.

Su Ke laughed, picked up the wine cup, took another sip, and then sighed with satisfaction: "Although the wine in the army is turbid, it is as strong as fire, which is really happy!" ”

"Grandmaster!" Cai Qing's face sank, and the other party's performance confirmed his conjecture more and more, could it be that this person was really ready to break the jar and break it?

If the other party is just one person, he doesn't bother to care, but the other party is responsible for the fate of the army, and he really can't stand it.

Seeing that Cai Qingzhen was about to turn his face if it continued like this, Su Ke finally put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Cai, don't worry. Let me ask you, the number of barbarians does not exceed 500,000, and the army of 100,000 is sent out, I'm afraid it has already come out, right? ”

Five people out of one combatable soldier, this proportion is very, very high, in the Central Plains, it is estimated that there is only one combatable soldier in twenty people, this is indeed the situation of the clan, on this point, Cai Qing nodded and admitted: "Yes." ”

"In this battle, I can't wait for the army of Great Wei, even if it is defeated, Great Wei still has at least a million troops, and if the barbarians are defeated, I am afraid they will not be able to turn over within thirty years, right?" Su Ke asked again.

Cai Qing thought for a while and said cautiously: "It depends on the damage of the barbarians, if the damage is too much, I am afraid that as you said, I will not be able to watch the Central Plains in thirty years." ”

Su Ke continued: "The barbarian king Capricorn is extremely ambitious, he went out of Mangshan, not only robbed grain and iron, but also robbed the people of my Central Plains, especially the farmers who farmed the land, and the down-and-out literati, I heard that he even imitated my Great Wei official system in the tribe. This person is afraid that he has the ambition to enter the world. ”

As soon as he heard this, Cai Qing was furious and slapped his palm on the table: "The barbarians also want to dominate my Huaxia, it's really wishful thinking!" ”

However, after being angry, Cai Qing quickly calmed down and asked again: "But my Central Plains is full of chaos, and I am at the time of weakness, this barbarian king is afraid that it is really a big trouble!" ”

Su Ke nodded and continued to analyze: "Since this is a great ambition, and the barbarian warriors are the greatest reliance of the barbarian king, these 100,000 troops, the barbarian king will definitely use them carefully, and it is absolutely impossible to confront us head-on." ”

Cai Qing was a little puzzled: "But the barbarian army came and didn't hide their tracks, how can this be used?" ”

He believed that the barbarian king would not dare to take risks easily, but the movements shown by the barbarian king were invisible, which was clearly a posture of a decisive battle. Could it be that the other party is bluffing? But this is too stupid to take them for fools, the 100,000 army is not hidden, and it will always show its tracks.

Su Ke laughed, poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all, and breathed a long sigh of relief, he seemed to see the thoughts in Cai Qing's heart, and continued: "It's not enough to bluff, the barbarian king will definitely lead the army to attack." However, I heard that the barbarians have a warrior, named Mu Sangjun, who is extremely martial arts, and is not inferior to a grandmaster. If my guess is correct, when the barbarian army arrives, it will be besieged but not attacked, and this man will invite me to fight first. ”

Cai Qing was stunned, his mind turned very fast, and he quickly understood the trick: "Grandmaster, you are the commander of the army, this Mu Sangjun defeats you one-on-one, the morale of our army will be low, if the grandmaster has a misfortune, I am afraid that it is"

If Su Ke has an accident and the barbarian king takes advantage of the situation to attack, it will be a big victory, even if the barbarian warriors will have some losses, but it will definitely be within the acceptable range.

The safest way is naturally to keep the door closed, but the barbarians will inevitably insist on inviting the battle, and it is estimated that when the time comes, as long as they can hit the morale of the army, they will use it, and the situation will only become more and more unfavorable over time.

Moreover, the food of the army is also limited, and it can only last for two months at most, and the location of Mangshan is remote, and the Central Plains is chaotic, so don't count on reinforcements, and it is estimated that it will be finished in the end.

Cai Qing thought for a long time, and finally could only say: "If this barbarian invites a battle, how will the grandmaster deal with it?" What are the odds? ”

"Naturally, it's a response." Su Ke said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that the barbarians have been prepared for a long time, and I heard that the barbarians have witchcraft skills, and I'm afraid that this Mu Sangjun will not be able to deal with it at that time." Cai Qing said worriedly.

Su Ke laughed, Bai Su came back and told him, this Mu Sangjun really used witchcraft to improve his strength, if he didn't have the Dafa of Guiyuan Adjustment, maybe he really wouldn't be an opponent when he ran into him.

But now, the two should be evenly matched.

However, Su Ke was not ready to win at all, if he won, the barbarian king would retract, and the barbarian plague would last forever.

He smiled and said: "Mu Sangjun invited the battle, I came out in response to the battle, pretended to be defeated and retreated, and attracted the army of the barbarian king, and in one battle, the trouble of the barbarians can be pacified!" ”

'Bang' Cai Qing originally wanted to take a sip of wine to moisten his throat, but when he heard Su Ke's words, the wine glass in his hand fell directly to the ground and shattered.

He pondered Su Ke's words carefully, and said for a long time: "Grandmaster's clever calculation, I can't do it." ”
