Chapter 593: Provocation
"Damn the dog man, Lao Tzu is here to pick up relatives, hurry up and open your broken fence, otherwise Lao Tzu will take someone to pick up people directly!"
At the gate of the Apocalypse Guard's barracks, dozens of men with sabers in their hands shouted loudly for the Apocalypse Guard to hand over Princess Qixia to them, but the surrounding Apocalypse Guards were all expressionless and ignored them at all.
In fact, the soldiers were not surprised, when the team met with the Apocalypse, the messenger proposed that according to the rules of the grassland, the Apocalypse should directly hand over the princess to them.
However, Xu Rui insisted that according to the rules of the Han people, the princess was not allowed to leave her mother's house unless she was polite, let alone meet Wuliji in advance.
Lin Shaodong presided over the staff group and the grassland envoys, and the two sides had a good dispute, and finally broke up unhappily.
The next day, the army that received relatives blocked the road of Tianqiwei's northward march early in the morning, trying to use a saber to force Xu Rui to submit.
But what they didn't expect was that Xu Rui expected that the grassland people would not dare to fight, at least not at this time, so they simply took advantage of the fact that the grassland people were encircled and set up camp on the spot.
Xu Rui has been on the road for most of the year, but he walked very slowly, leaving enough time for logistics and supplies.
Long before the Apocalypse Guard's army arrived at Tianqi Pass, An Ge secretly established a long supply line in the name of the developer road.
Stimulated by a large sum of silver, the caravans did not need anyone to organize, they bought materials in groups, and then delivered them to Tianqi Pass, and then the Galaxy Group led by An Ge was responsible for unified inspection, purchase, settlement, and finally transferred to the army.
Everything is maintained by the power of capital, and in addition to spending money like running water, both the efficiency and quality of logistics are much higher than those of the army's own transportation.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be in Tianqi Pass, after the stopper, it will be the world of the grassland people, and at this stage, Xu Rui's logistics baggage has been taken over by the baggage battalion.
At present, the army has just come out of the fortress, and the supply line is not long, Xu Rui has full confidence to fight against the grassland people.
However, this time it will be anxious for the grassland people who take care of their relatives, they are on a mission when they come, and if it drags on for too long, it will be difficult for Uliji to explain.
Moreover, before leaving, Uligi had given a strict order, and if there was a conflict, he would have to come to see him.
In order to grab Princess Qixia as soon as possible, the grassland people were also forced to be anxious, so they simply sent a small force to disguise themselves as horse bandits to rob Xu Rui's baggage.
One of the baggage was soon snatched by the steppe people who came and went, but fortunately it was all some food, and the loss was not large, and there were not many casualties.
After Lin Shaodong learned of this, he immediately sent someone to negotiate with the grassland envoy, but the grassland envoy played a trick, no matter what he said, he pushed all the responsibility on the horse bandits, and he didn't know anything.
The generals of the Apocalypse Guard suffered a loss and were furious, but Xu Rui was overjoyed, so that the elite of the army dressed up in disguise and hid in the team transporting grain, and when the grassland people reappeared, they would fight back mercilessly.
With the blessing of grenades and repeating crossbows, the skirmishes were almost one-sided, and the nine-way "horse bandits" sent out by the steppe people were almost wiped out, so angry that Mandu almost overturned the table.
But since they have said before that everything is done by horse bandits, the grassland people have no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of their own brewing if they want to ask Xu Ruixing for their guilt.
As a result, the two sides were at a stalemate on the grassland, and the grassland people had no other way to think than to send people to the gate of Xu Rui's camp every day to scold.
"Smack"
The black piece landed on the board and captured a large piece of white, and the remaining position of the white piece was also in jeopardy.
Xiao Hu smiled and looked at Xu Rui, who was sitting opposite, and said, "This game of chess of yours is not very good." ”
Xu Rui looked at the chessboard and muttered for a moment, and suddenly fell in the corner, and the originally precarious situation was stabilized in an instant.
"How can you be sure you can win until the last minute?"
Xu Rui looked at Xiao Hu with interest and said.
"Tsk......"
Xiao Hu smashed his mouth, and the voice of the grassland people insulting Xu Rui happened to be heard in his ears, so he smiled and said: "You took advantage of the encirclement of the grassland people and forcibly stopped the army here, but I am afraid that it will be delayed for a while, but it will not be delayed for a lifetime, right?" ”
Xu Rui shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "It's a while to be able to delay for a while, anyway, I'm not in a hurry." ”
Xiao Hu dropped a son on the chessboard and said: "It's not a way to drag it down, I understand that you don't want to give up your lover into someone else's arms, but people are under the eaves, how can you not bow your head?" Sooner or later, this day will come. ”
Xu Rui also dropped a white piece on the chessboard and said lightly: "Really? Then let the day come later. ”
Xiaohu frowned: "You are playing with fire, aren't you afraid that Uliji's patience is limited, and he will mobilize an army to destroy you?" ”
Xu Rui shook his head and smiled: "It's easy in this way, I'll wait for him to make a move." ”
Xiao Hu was slightly stunned, and suddenly said: "I understand, in addition to Princess Qixia, Wu Liji also wants to use this matter to establish his authority and solve those untimely voices in the grassland." ”
Xu Rui nodded: "This is a good deal, he can declare his wisdom to the entire grassland without a single sword, so that everyone can see that he can lead the grassland to defeat the Great Wei, so no matter what, he will promote this peace." ”
"So you're taking advantage of his psychology and constantly provoking him?"
Xiao Hu smiled very thiefly.
Xu Rui shook his head: "It's not a provocation, it's a temptation, I'm testing him, and he's testing me." ”
"But if you go back and forth like this, it's easy to make things deadlocked, how are you going to end up then?"
Xiao Hu gloated.
Xu Rui dropped a white piece on the chessboard and shook his head: "When we all get what we want, it won't be difficult to end." ”
Xiao Hu looked down at the chessboard, and was slightly stunned, only to see that the black chess pieces that were originally in a good situation were broken clean by Xu Rui in a few steps, and now they are dead.
"This ......"
Xiao Hu looked at Xu Rui in surprise.
Xu Rui threw the white child in his hand onto the chessboard, and said lightly: "Let's go, now that the heat is almost over, it's time to move forward." ”
As he spoke, Xu Rui stood up, and Qin Fei immediately put on a white coat for him.
The wind was strong on the grassland, and the big sword was draped on Xu Rui's body and immediately flew with the wind, quite a bit of heroism, and Xiao Hu's heart was shocked.
"You Han people are like pheasants on the grassland, when you see your grandfather, you only dare to hide in the hole as a shrinking turtle, there is no one with a seed, and you are not as tough as the girls in my tent, hahaha!"
Outside the camp gate, a strong man from the five big and three thick grasslands shouted and cursed, and everyone around him burst into laughter when they heard this.
The man proudly shouted at the camp gate: "Hey, go and call your eighth marquis out, Lao Tzu wants to ask him why he is so afraid of death, and would rather give his beloved woman obediently with his hands than dare to fight with our Great Khan?" ”
When the grassland people heard this, they burst into laughter again.
The soldier standing guard on the platform was furious in his heart, gritting his teeth and about to draw his knife, his companion quickly grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive, the commander has an order, let them scold, and don't fight back." ”
"But he insulted the handsome!"
The soldier gritted his teeth.
The companion glanced at those steppe people and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, one day the handsome man will take us back to get back all the humiliation we suffered today!" ”
"There is no need to have a day, today Ben Shuai will get it back!"
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from behind the two.
The two looked back and saw that Xu Rui had come to the camp gate surrounded by generals at some point.
"Ah, see the big handsome!"
When the surrounding soldiers saw Xu Rui, they hurriedly saluted.
Xu Rui waved his hand and said, "Everyone has suffered in the past few days, but it's worth it to watch a good show, open the door." ”
"Open the door!"
The herald shouted loudly, and the gate of the camp, which had been closed for many days, finally slowly opened.
The men who were scolding outside the door saw the opening of the camp at first glance, and thought that the Wei army was planning to sneak attack, and they were startled, until they saw a heroic young man slowly walking out surrounded by everyone.
"Who are you?"
The man who had scolded before asked loudly.
"Bold! The Great Wei Champion Hou, the Squire of the Military Department, the Commander of the Apocalypse Guard, and the Marriage Envoy Xu Rui and Lord Xu are here, and you still don't want to salute? ! ”
The herald shouted.
When the grassland people heard that this was Xu Rui, they immediately laughed and leaned back and forth.
The man who scolded before glanced at Xu Rui with slanted eyes and said, "You are the living king who gave his beloved girl to the Great Khan?" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the generals were angry, but it was only because of Xu Rui's presence that they did not rush up and dismantle him without authorization.
And Xu Rui couldn't see a trace of anger on his face, just nodded lightly: "The person you said is me, but I'm not Wang Ba!" ”
When the grassland people heard this, they laughed again.
