Chapter 525: The two armies face each other
Xiao Heng was angry in his heart, and he was inexplicably disgusted when he saw Yueji, but he had to be tied to Yueji, and at the moment, he could only discuss this matter with Yueji, and there was no other way.
"Since we retreat to Yecheng, we must defend this city well, Xiao Guo is not peaceful at the moment, Xiao Mohan does not have much time to spend here, as long as we defend it strictly, they will not be able to attack it."
Tsukihime tried to be as calm as possible, although the current situation was not in their favor, but the more this time, the more they could not mess with themselves, and they had to think in the long run.
"You underestimate Xiao Mohan too much, when the nine sons took the heir, if it weren't for him, now Xiao Guo doesn't know who is in charge, what he wants, there is nothing he can't get, if we keep standing still and hiding in this Yecheng, sooner or later we will be eradicated by him."
Xiao Heng had been entangled with Xiao Mohan a lot before, so he knew Xiao Mohan well, he never dared to underestimate the enemy, let alone take chances, he understood that in Xiao Mohan, there was no word "luck" at all.
"Why are you so afraid of Xiao Mohan now? If you still want to get the throne of Xiao Guo, just with your guts, a Xiao Mohan will make you afraid of being like this, not to mention the throne, it would be good to be able to keep your life. ”
Yueji sneered, with a hint of mockery in her eyes, and glanced at Xiao Heng up and down, no matter whether her words were sincere or false, the stimulation to Xiao Heng was not small.
"Hmph, do you think Xiao Mohan will let you go? Don't think that with the support of the central country, you can sit back and relax, if the central country is broken and falls into the hands of Xiao Mohan, your fate will definitely not be as good as mine. ”
Xiao Heng didn't get angry, but sneered coldly, he and Yueji are not in harmony inside and out now, and sometimes they don't even bother to pretend, so they speak unceremoniously.
"You ......"
Yueji glared at Xiao Heng fiercely, the words came to her lips, but she swallowed, now is not the time to fight, Xiao Mohan is their common enemy, they can't fight their own people.
"Don't be angry, now that you're in this situation, none of us can get any benefits, if you have any ideas, just say it, let's calm down, let's discuss, dealing with Xiao Mohan is the most important thing."
Yueji lowered her eyes, her long and thick eyelashes blocked the emotions under her eyes, she suppressed the disgust for Xiao Heng in her heart, and her tone was more normal.
"I think at this time, we have to divide our troops into two ways, you are guarding Yecheng here, I will lead people to break out and attack Dingyuan City, Xiao Mohan's backyard is on fire, he will be distracted, and we will be saved at that time."
Xiao Heng pondered in his heart, and after a while, he slowly spoke, his eyes were deep, making people unable to see the end at a glance, but there was always a bit of unspeakable danger.
Yueji is not a vegetarian, Xiao Heng's idea is good, but this is not a good thing for Yangguo, if Xiao Heng takes people and never returns, then Yecheng is afraid that it will not be able to hold it.
"Lord Wang, what you said is true? Now that we're in the same boat, you can't think of anything else. ”
Yueji looked Xiao Heng up and down, with a hint of strange light in her eyes, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her eyebrows were full of temptation.
"What else can I do? Now that Xiao Mohan is menacing, even if it is for my own sake, I can't part ways with you. ”
Xiao Heng said lightly, his situation is not good at the moment, and Yueji is not very good, so he can only huddle together to keep warm, and get through this difficulty first.
"Okay, just do as you say."
In this case, Yueji has nothing to say, and she can't think of a better idea at the moment, so she can only listen to Xiao Heng first.
"But I've lost a lot of people, and if you want to break through, you may not have enough manpower, so you have to send me some manpower, otherwise this matter can't be done."
Xiao Heng changed his words and mentioned this, Yueji's face suddenly changed, and even her eyes became cold.
"I fought dozens of battles with Xiao Mohan before, and more than half of my people were killed or injured, if I send it out again, I'm afraid this Yecheng will not be able to hold it, so can this matter be discussed again."
Yueji didn't dare to offend Xiao Heng easily, so she lowered her head, her arrogance was much less, and she glanced at Xiao Heng, her face full of embarrassment.
"Let's discuss it again, it's the same, we don't have much time now, once Xiao Mohan attacks the city, we will have no chance, so we have to catch up with him, what should we do, you have to think about it."
As soon as Xiao Heng's voice fell, he turned around and walked out, without looking at Yueji at all, and invisibly gave all the mess to Yueji, and asked Yueji to clean up slowly.
Yueji stared at Xiao Heng's back, her hands clenched into fists, her teeth itched with hatred, if it weren't for Xiao Heng's still useful value now, she wouldn't have been so accommodating, and she would have let Xiao Heng return to the west a long time ago.
Barrack.
Xiao Mohan sat in the middle of the proposition, with a black cloak behind him, and a map and a military book on the table, he was going to decide on this Yecheng, and within ten days, it must be taken, there could be no accidents.
"General, Xiao Heng and Yueji have been at odds, in the past two days, Xiao Heng has been on the move, as if he wants to break out of the city, should we send someone to intercept him?"
Yu Feng came in and saluted Xiao Mohan, and lowered his voice, he followed Xiao Mohan to fight in the south and the north, and he was also a good hand at finding out the news, so the movements of Yecheng couldn't hide from him.
"No need, just let them think that we didn't find out, and when the siege comes, we will catch them off guard."
Xiao Mohan raised his head, sat slightly lazy, lifted his thin lips, his voice was low, and his face was full of the vicissitudes of marching and fighting, becoming more and more mature and calm.
"Yes, after what happened last time, they must be more vigilant now, and they will strictly defend this Yecheng, and our troops and grain and grass have been consumed a lot, so we must fight quickly."
Yu Feng arched his hand, just now Xiao Mohan instructed him to count the soldiers, horses, grain and grass, this way down, consumption is inevitable, but they must first figure out the chips in their hands.
"This Yecheng is not big, it is not small, but the city is mountainous, the city is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yueji should also know this, so he retreated here, but even so, if you want to take this city, it is not a difficult matter, you order to go down, let the soldiers practice diligently, as for when to attack the city, then make a decision."
Xiao Mohan remained silent, speaking lightly, there was no superfluous look on his face, and his every move was indescribably sharp.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it."
Although Yu Feng did not get a specific deployment plan from Xiao Mohan, he believed that Xiao Mohan arranged it freely, and Xiao Mohan had experienced so many battles, and there were many more things in his mind than he imagined.
"What's going on in the capital right now?"
Xiao Mohan thought about it and asked about this, although he was busy fighting abroad, he did not relax his vigilance at all, and kept paying attention to the movements of the capital, he didn't want to get the central country, but he lost the Xiao country.
"The situation has stabilized, those enemy troops have been driven out of the capital, and now Ling Zi'an is leading people to encircle and suppress, Li Huai committed suicide in fear of crime, his son is still outside, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he will be caught."
Yufeng reported on 1510, Xiao Mohan really didn't see the wrong person, Ling Zi'an is a person with a great talent, now that the national disaster is at hand, Ling Zi'an will not sit idly by, and once he takes care of it, it will be impressive, and even Yufeng was surprised.
"That's good, send a message to the capital, so that Ling Zi'an doesn't have to show mercy to his subordinates, and all those who rebel will be killed."
Xiao Mohan's thin lips were lightly hooked, such heavy words, but he said lightly, this time, he will definitely eradicate all those disasters.
"Yes."
Yu Feng saluted, then turned around and retreated, the moonlight outside was slightly cool, I don't know if the moonlight of this central country is the same as Xiao Guo?
Qian Qianqian stood in front of the window, the cool breeze slowly poured in, stirring the broken hair on her sideburns, the cloak on her body was exactly the same as Xiao Mohan's, but one big and one small, it seemed that she was a bird.
This is the ink fox skin that Xiao Mohan once hunted, and sent someone to make two cloaks, one for Qian Qianqian, and she also knew that there were also "couple clothes" in ancient times. ”
At present, Dingyuan City has gradually calmed down, Xue Hua cremated all the corpses of those people in the central country according to her instructions, and burned them cleanly, and the people worked together to clean up the long streets in the city, and the whole city was the same as before.
It's just that Xiao Mohan won't come back, he led his troops all the way to the northwest and entered the central country, if he doesn't take the entire central country, he will never come back, Qian Qianqian can't go with him, he can only look at the bright moon here and send lovesickness.
It didn't take long for Mu Tianyue's letter to arrive, the letter said that he had a lot of grain there, which was kept and secretly sent to Xiao Mohan, so in addition to the one given by the imperial court, there was also a share from Mu Tianyue, Xiao Mohan really took precautions.
It's just that even so, this grain must be safely transported to Xiao Mohan's hands, if something happens in the process of transportation, and the grain is robbed, it will not be good.
So Qian Qianqian thought about it and decided to plant some grain in this Dingyuan City, this Xinjiang can't grow rice, so she planted wheat and sweet potatoes, although they are coarse grains, but it can also ensure that the people and soldiers are not hungry.
"What? Growing food? Miss Qian, now that you are at war, let alone whether you can find vacant land, even if you have land, you can't hire a farmer. ”
Xue Yi was very surprised when she heard the news, her face was a little embarrassed, and her smile was far-fetched.
"There are no young men, then settle for the second, as long as we are willing to find, the people who farm the land are not a problem, this battle has to be fought for a few years, if we have no reserves at all, and there is an accident, it will be too late."
Qian Qianqian had made up her mind, she was very determined, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were full of indescribable stubbornness.
"But at the moment, the city is still very chaotic, and this is not as fertile as the capital, there is no such fertile land, and most of the people here eat grain transported from outside, if you want to farm here, I am afraid it is not very suitable."
Xue Yi then explained, her face was not slack, she knew that Qian Qianqian couldn't be idle, but she didn't expect Qian Qianqian to be so able to think about it, which simply overwhelmed her.
"I know that the land here is sandy, and it is indeed not suitable for growing food, but that doesn't mean that you can't grow anything else here, you go out with me to have a look, if it's really not suitable, the matter will be stopped."
