Chapter 25: Rendezvous

Shi Hu saw that there were Tocharian troops everywhere outside Youzhou City, and hurriedly sent several teams of scouts to investigate the military situation.

Half a day later, a scout came to report that the Tocharian army was attacking the city, and Youzhou City had not been broken. Although these scouts were clever, they couldn't escape the nose of the wolf warriors, and most of them were damaged in the city, and only a few people came back to report the news.

When Shi Hu heard that Youzhou City was not broken, he was relieved and led his army to aid Youzhou City. The Tocharian army was flanked from inside and outside, and the governor had no choice but to withdraw. The wolf cavalry came and went without a trace, and after a short time, they scattered in many groups.

General Liu of the Zhiwei Army was struggling to support himself in the city, and he was relieved to see that the Xuanjia Army had finally come to rendezvous. The Zhewei army was originally stationed at the border of Lingzhou, which is adjacent to Youzhou, so the Xuanjia army arrived in Youzhou City on the tenth day, but it was suddenly besieged by the Tocharian army five days ago, and the city has lost 50,000 soldiers in the past few days, which shows the fierceness of the Tocharian army.

Liu Yuanshan welcomed Shi Hu and Mu Yi into the city, and a banquet was indispensable. General Liu was born as an officer, and these politeness are indispensable. Shi Hu also exterminated several stray soldiers and relieved the siege of Youzhou, but he was drunk at the banquet regardless of the possibility of the enemy attacking again. Mu Yi couldn't help frowning, it's okay for such a person to be a striker, if he is the boss, it will really be a disaster for the three armies.

General Shi was drunk for a day and a night, and only woke up the next night. He knew that he was greedy for a cup and misunderstood, and he was afraid of being punished, so he rushed to visit the coach Liu Yuanshan overnight, and it happened that Mu Yi was also discussing countermeasures in General Liu's account, and the three of them discussed the next plan together.

"The last general thinks that we should divide our troops into three ways to encircle and suppress this thief army. The Tocharian army was in groups of tens of thousands, so it was just right to annihilate them one by one. "Shi Hu is more than brave, but he lacks strategy, and he only thinks about going straight to kill.

"The last general thinks that it is impossible, the wolf cavalry is very mobile, and the 500,000 enemy troops outside Youzhou City also came and went suddenly. We will divide our troops and go forward, and if the Tocharian army is united and attacks our army, we will inevitably be annihilated one by one. At this time, the only way to defend this Youzhou city is to defend it first, and then send an army to clear it and an army to respond. The best way to do it is to do it. Mu Yi had already discussed countermeasures with Liu Yuanshan, and spoke out unhurriedly.

"You've fought a few more battles, and you're making noise here. Shi Hu glanced at Mu Yi with contempt, "If you are afraid of death, stay and defend the city, and I will go with General Liu to clear it." ”

"I think what General Mu said is not unreasonable," In fact, Liu Yuanshan had already discussed with Mu Yi, and this idea was originally from him, but he just said it through Mu Yi's mouth, so as not to be called cowardly and cowardly, "I led an army of 400,000 to defend the city for five days, and I lost 50,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Hmph," Shi Hu disdained, "If I, the Xuanjia Army, were guarding the city, how could I have these losses." Those barbarians must be taught to come and go. ”

Although Liu Yuanshan was extremely deep in the city, Shi Hu belittled his Zhiwei army nakedly, and his face couldn't help but sink: "How did I hear General Mu say that General Shi's Xuanjia army was killed by tens of thousands of barbarians and lost its armor, and it lost 30,000 elite cavalry in less than half an hour." ”

Shi Hu's face flushed, and he glared at Mu Yi fiercely and said, "The last general saw these barbarians' wolf riders for the first time, and this is the way to go." Besides, His Majesty ordered us to encircle and suppress the thief army, and we didn't come to defend the city, so we should go out of the city to find the enemy. ”

"Our soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, just to keep the people safe, there are more than one million people in this Youzhou city, and most of the people nearby have come to take refuge. As long as you hold this Youzhou City, you will be able to defend most of Youzhou County. What's more, we still need to raise military rations in the city, and if we lose the city, won't we have a way to retreat? Liu Yuanshan was displeased.

"Since you are going to war, you should fight to the death, so why care about these retreats. After we wait for more than ten days to rush south, we can go to Jizhou City, and it is not too late to raise military rations at that time. ”

"Enough, since I am the commander of this army, I should have given military orders. Your Majesty doesn't seem to have given you the right to act freely without military orders. Liu Yuanshan couldn't help but be angry when he saw that Shi Hu was stubborn.

Shi Hu saw that Liu Yuanshan was angry, and he had to shut up, he was just a deputy marshal, if he did not obey the military order in the army, he would be beheaded.

"I led 300,000 troops to defend the city. General Shi, you lead the Xuanjia army to chase down the thief army. General Mu led 50,000 Zhiwei troops and 20,000 Xuanjia troops to respond. I don't know what General Mu thinks. After that, Liu Yuanshan didn't look at Shi Hu, but asked Mu Yi's opinion.

This is because Mu Yi has the power not to be ordered by the military, and secondly, Liu Yuanshan, the old fox, also knows that Mu Yi has the support of the crown prince and the second prince in the court. Mu Yi is well-behaved and obedient, he is naturally very polite to Mu Yi.

"Obey the orders of the General. Mu Yi said busily.

Liu Yuanshan nodded, and ordered the two of them to go down to prepare and fight another day. When Shi Hu came out of the account, Mu Yi's eyes were a little more resentful.

Mu Yi complained in his heart, this was all Liu Yuanshan's idea, but he became a scapegoat, it seems that it is not easy to deal with these old foxes.

After leaving the tent, Mu Yi went to Zhewei and received 50,000 soldiers. This Liu Yuanshan is really good to him. Although the combat strength of the Zhiwei army is not high, it still handed over the most elite 50,000 people to him, but the Zhiwei army was originally to clear the pirates, and there were very few cavalry, and they were all Liu Yuanshan's personal guards. The 50,000 people given to Mu Yi can only be infantry.

After Mu Yi finished these things, he also went back to his camp to discuss with Yue Ting how to use the troops tomorrow. While they were talking, the herald came to report that several soldiers claiming to be Mu Yi's fellow villagers were coming to see him. The two of them are also strange, there are no acquaintances in this army, and they don't know where they come from, so they send people to see them.

"Brother Mu, Brother Yue, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet fellow villagers in this army. Before they could see anyone, they heard a familiar voice from outside the tent. When Yue Ting saw the comer, he immediately became angry, and hurriedly asked the sergeant to drag these people out and beat them with twenty military sticks.

It turned out that these people were none other than the Wednesday boys who bullied Mu Yi in the academy. These people failed to pass the state test repeatedly, and they knew that they had little hope, so they voted for the Weijun to run for a future. Wednesday is a good worker, and he is also a powerful man in the army, and he has won over a group of brothers, which can be regarded as a hegemon in this army. Hearing that Mu Yi actually became a general, he still felt that Mu Yi was weak and could be bullied, and he actually wanted to get a half-official position.

When several people saw Yue Ting say that they would fight, they immediately panicked. Only on Wednesday he scolded Mu Yi for not talking about the friendship of his fellow villagers and the communiqué of personal vendettas, and said that he had no right to deal with the soldiers of the Zhiwei Army, and he was still unconvinced until the twenty military sticks were beaten.

Mu Yi actually didn't care about the old past for a long time, but he also knew that these people were wild and untamable, and it was difficult to reuse them without beating, so he sneered: "If you are still not convinced, then you will beat fifty more military sticks." In this tent, he took off his pants and beat me to death. Who dares to deal with this military law lightly!"

The army listened to this, and opened the pants of Wednesday and others, and beat them to the death. Several of Wednesday's subordinates kept shouting for mercy, and Wednesday himself was also stubborn, relying on kung fu to hold on, even if his butt blossomed, he never screamed, and finally fainted directly.

Yue Ting couldn't bear to see it, he originally just wanted to teach these people a lesson, but he didn't expect Mu Yi to come back, so he persuaded him: "Second brother, these people are also fellow villagers, so they were killed like this, and in the future, their family will find Old Man Mu, and we will not look good." ”

"Big brother, you only know strategy, but you don't know how to use people. These ruffians have long been lawless in the camp, and if you don't really make them afraid, how can you stop them? ”

After that, he ordered the sergeant to splash cold water on Wednesday and the others, and said to their faces: "It's almost over." Come on, drag me out to feed the wolves, and you must see them eaten by the wolves. When the army received the order, they went forward and dragged a few people out.

The attendants were immediately so frightened that they couldn't speak, and their heads touched the ground and kowtowed. Wednesday was also frightened, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "General Mu, Master Mu, Grandpa Mu, they are all small with eyes and don't know Mount Tai, they were really blind at the beginning." I also hope that Grandpa Mu will spare my dog's life, so that you can lead the horse and fall for the master, and be a cow and a horse. After speaking, he ignored the sergeant's drag, but just kowtowed desperately, and his head broke blood.

Mu Yi saw that it was almost over, so he waved his hand to let the sergeant retreat, and said, "Do you think that General Ben will be angry with you for a trivial matter in his childhood?"

Wednesday hurriedly kowtowed: "There are a lot of masters, so naturally they won't care about small ones." ”

"Call me master, you can only call the general in this army, otherwise you will be beaten with fifty more sticks!"

"Yes, General. On Wednesday, he thought that Mu Yi beat him because of his title, and he complained bitterly in his heart.

"Someone, bring some chairs. Mu Yi shouted. Several sergeants moved the chairs and asked a few people to sit down, but these people were all skinned and couldn't get up, how could they sit, but they were afraid that Mu Yi would be angry, so they had to drag the chair and barely lie on it, grinning in pain if they weren't careful. Only on Wednesday was he barely able to rely on his arm strength to support the sides of the chair and "sit" on the chair.

"I don't know how many of the 50,000 Zhiwei army there are in my Lingzhou clan. Mu Yi didn't seem to know that these people were uncomfortable, and asked intently.

Wednesday Yanzi was drenched in blood, his arms were shaking tiredly, and he quickly replied: "General Hui, there are about 10,000 people in Lingzhou, and there are more than 1,000 people in Anchuan alone. ”

"Okay, then I will appoint you as the commander of ten thousand now, and I will pick out these ten thousand people and organize them into an army, and follow me by my side. ”

"Huh?" Wednesday was stunned, he had to be dragged out to feed the wolf just now, and this would suddenly rise to the rank of captain, and he couldn't react.

This commander of 1,000 commanders, 10,000 commanders, who was not an official position of the imperial court, was temporarily assigned by the commander of the army before the war to assist the lieutenant in managing the army. Although there is no imperial court, he has real power in his hands, and when he collects the spoils of war, he can fill his pockets by the way, and the oil and water are no worse than those captains.

"Why, if you don't want to, then I'll find another candidate. Mu Yi frowned.

"Yes, yes, little willing. Thank you to the general, the small one will go and allocate manpower. Wednesday was so excited that he forgot that his butt hurt, and he let go of the chair with both hands, and suddenly his butt burned and hurt, and he knelt down and kowtowed a few times before limping out of the tent.

"Wait, this is my warrant, you only have half an hour, otherwise you won't have to come back. ”

"Yes, little one understands. "I came back on Wednesday and kowtowed, took the warrant, and jumped out of the house.

Mu Yi then asked the sergeant to carry the remaining people to their respective camps, and these people were like being amnestied, and even said that they didn't dare to bother the military master, so they crawled back.

Yue Ting was stunned, and waited for no one else in the tent to ask: "You really dare, directly seal this kid on Wednesday as the captain of ten thousand years." I'm not afraid of him backing the water. ”

"If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, his family is all in Anchuan, and he won't dare to have any bad intentions. I asked him to gather all the people of Lingzhou into an army, which is also what I meant. I can't control this army at all, and it is not easy to control this 10,000 people with the convenience of this fellow countryman. On Wednesday, this person is disobedient to discipline, and you have to give him something to be powerful, and then give him some benefits to try before he can help you do something. ”

"I didn't expect you to still have two hands, amazing, amazing. Yue Ting was a little surprised.

"There's no way around it, we have few soldiers and no foundation, so we have to find a way to find someone who can be trusted. Mu Yi smiled bitterly.

This Wednesday, he was tortured by Mu Yi, and he was almost dragged to be a wild wolf, can he still do things for Mu Yi sincerely?
