Chapter 535: Counting is Counting
"If you don't say it, you're begging!" Wang Hui feigned anger.
Xie Yunxiao laughed, "Say, how can you not say it?" ”
The two walked into the barracks, and along the way, Xie Yunxiao told everything that happened tonight.
When Wang Hui heard this, the tiger's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands again and again.
Xie Yunxiao only found three granaries and deliberately set them on fire, the purpose was to let Xiang Yan send people to protect the other granaries in a hurry.
In this way, there is no need to look for other granaries, just follow them and set them on fire.
How many capable people thought of such a strategy at that time?
"What do you think they're going to do next?" Wang Hui asked.
Xie Yunxiao said: "Those two granaries, they have no problem supporting them for about four days, according to the convention, they will attack in front!" ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for them!" Wang Hui's eyes were filled with a fierce light, and there was a strong look of expectation in between.
In Xie Yunxiao's eyes, there is naturally a look of expectation, but what he is looking forward to is probably different from what Wang Hui is looking forward to.
Around midnight on the second day, the Chu army attacked in a big way, Wang Hui waved his troops to meet the attack, and the two armies started a big battle, and the fierce battle lasted for nearly an hour, and the Chu army retreated.
The Chu army now has no food and grass, and they hope to win quickly, while the Ning army is not in a hurry in comparison, and after the war begins, the Ning army is mostly defensive.
In this way, the confrontation between the Chu army and the Ning army, although fierce, was not tragic.
After the troops were collected, Xie Yunxiao and Wang Hui were in the camp at this time.
"Brother Xie, although they attacked as scheduled, it was not the kind of attack they expected!" Wang Hui said.
Xie Yunxiao said, "What did you expect the attack to look like?" ”
"How can I tell you? It's that although they seem to be eager to win, I always feel that that kind of appearance is just made, Xiang Yan has always been scheming, he must have some conspiracy! Wang Hui said.
Xie Yunxiao chuckled, "Even you can see it, it seems that this delay is really a superfluous move!" ”
Wang Hui was stunned for a moment, "Brother Xie has long seen that there is something wrong with them?" ”
Xie Yunxiao said: "It's hard to say, but they didn't fight hard, so naturally there is a reason not to fight!" ”
"If their food and grass are enough to support many days, such a move is reasonable!" Wang Hui said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "If this is just to confuse you and me, then there will definitely be another action, remember the speculation when we decided to burn grain and grass at that time?" ”
When Wang Hui heard this, his eyes couldn't help changing, and at that moment, his eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and said: "Perhaps, I know what's going on!" ”
Xie Yunxiao just smiled indifferently, the two armies are fighting, fighting wits and strength, who can achieve the final victory, it's really hard to say.
"Be careful, lest our grain and grass also be destroyed!" Xie Yunxiao reminded.
Wang Hui smiled confidently, "Don't worry, if they burn the grain and grass, then wouldn't it be a big joke for me?" ”
Xie Yunxiao glanced at Wang Hui sideways, "Is it strange that you have become a big joke?" ”
"Get out!" Wang Hui rolled his eyes, this guy is very difficult to listen to.
Xie Yunxiao laughed, turned around and walked out of the camp.
In the next two days, the Chu army launched a full-scale attack.
The situation is similar to the first day, so some of Xie Yunxiao and Wang Hui's speculations are obviously inseparable.
"Brother Xie, look at it like this, we can come up with a plan!" Wang Hui said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "In the past few days, we have also cooperated with them very much, since they like to play conspiracy and tricks, and now in this situation, there is nothing wrong with the plan!" ”
"It seems that Brother Xie has thought of it a long time ago!" Wang Hui said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "Just thinking about it, but not doing it, you can't do anything!" ”
"The people you sent out a few days ago were just here to check this?" Wang Hui said.
Xie Yunxiao smiled: "You didn't ask them what they were going out for?" ”
"Am I the kind of person who asks everything?" Wang Hui said.
Xie Yunxiao looked at Wang Hui and said, "You are!" ”
Wang Hui laughed, "I knew that I couldn't hide anything from you!" ”
Xie Yunxiao smiled: "Do you have the slightest idea of hiding from me?" ”
Wang Hui coughed dryly, rolled his eyes a few times, and said, "It's going to be lunch soon!" ”
"Are you hungry?" Xie Yunxiao said.
Wang Hui said: "I've been hungry for a long time! ”
At this moment, the scout who had gone out to inquire about the news had returned.
Xie Yunxiao and Wang Hui listened to their report, Xie Yunxiao pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that you have to eat by yourself!" ”
"It's like I can't eat without you!" Wang Hui had a smile on his face.
Xie Yunxiao said: "You can eat, but it will definitely not be very fragrant, but depending on the current situation, I will give you this big dish to eat, I hope you can eat satisfactorily!" ”
After speaking, Xie Yunxiao turned around and left the tent.
If this dish is to be done well, the time must be grasped well, so naturally he did not continue to talk to Wang Hui.
According to Xiang Yan's plan, the Chu army collected grain around, and in less than three days, the harvest was not small.
In order to ensure that the grain can be safely delivered to the barracks, the person who escorted the grain and grass was Xiang Liang, the number two person in the army.
After the battle that night, although Xiang Liang has recovered, his face is still very pale.
The crack in the tiger's mouth is now scarred.
Xiang Liang didn't wrap the wound, he did this to tell himself that he had to step into the Nine Realms quickly.
After stopping at the peak of the Eight Realms for a long time, Xiang Liang still hasn't found a way to step into the Nine Realms, and it can be seen from here that he is inferior to Xiang Yan in terms of cultivation talent.
"General, after this forest, it is less than ten miles away from the barracks, so we might as well rest here!" A soldier ran up to him, panting.
Along the way, in order to ensure the safety of grain and grass, Xiang Liang asked the soldiers to rush non-stop, and many soldiers also knew the importance of grain and grass, and they had no complaints in their hearts.
Now that they are about to arrive at the barracks, it makes sense that they want to take a break.
"The grain and grass have not been transported to the barracks, it is still dangerous, there is only a distance of more than ten miles, brothers, let's go faster, at most half an hour, and then we can rest!" Xiang Liang said.
The grain and grass were escorted by ordinary carriages, and the long convoy was like a long dragon moving slowly on the ground, no matter how fast it was, it would naturally not be much faster.
When the soldiers heard this, they also felt very reasonable, and now they quickened their pace and continued on their way.
But at this moment, on the road ahead, Xie Yunxiao was standing in the middle of the road.
"General Xiang is really a good strategy, launching a full-scale attack, just to confuse us, the real purpose is to send people to find food and grass nearby, what a strategy, but didn't he see it? We're just going to do it! ”
Xie Yunxiao's voice was not very loud, but with the blessing of True Yuan Qi, it was extremely penetrating.
At this moment, many soldiers were trembling.
But these people didn't know Xie Yunxiao, and that night, although Xie Yunxiao burned the grain and grass of the Chu army, the military camp was too big, and many people had never seen him.
But Xiang Liang knew Xie Yunxiao, and the familiar voice made him a little crazy, and he had a thought at the moment, that is, to turn around and run away.
But if he Xiang Liang escaped, then these grains and grasses would be gone.
In this way, the Chu army is really dangerous.
"He's only one man, and we'll rush over!" Xiang Liang shouted loudly, his thoughts at this time, that is, how much of these grains can be saved.
In addition, it was only more than ten miles away from the Chu army barracks, and the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass ran in the direction of the barracks, and Xiang Yan would definitely send people to support them immediately.
It is impossible to keep all the grain and grass, but how much can be saved depends on the cooperation of many soldiers.
The people who were selected to escort the grain and grass were naturally not ordinary people, and in a moment, they already understood the meaning of Xiang Liang's words.
At this time, some Chu troops fled with the carriage, while some soldiers abandoned the carriage and ran in the direction of the barracks.
Xie Yunxiao looked at these soldiers, and his eyes were filled with appreciation.
But now is not the time for him to be soft-hearted, so he didn't think much about it, the Heavenly Gong of the Fusion Dao was running, and the Fire Dao Law of Bi Fang was exerted.
In an instant, a few wisps of flame shot out from Xie Yunxiao's fingertips.
Throughout the forest, the burner was burning brightly.
Those running Chu State soldiers, even if they can go out of the forest, the grain and grass in the forest are obviously completely finished.
Xie Yunxiao tossed and walked out of the forest.
Looking at the raging fire, there was a slight regret in his eyes.
If this grain and grass can be moved back, it is a plan from above, but in the current situation, it is impossible to do it.
Unless he, Xie Yunxiao, can move mountains and reclaim the sea, and instantly move these grains and grasses to work.
"Goodbye, everyone!" Xie Yunxiao's voice came out, but the others were already far away.
It was not very far from the military camp of the Chu State, the fire was burning, and the smoke was filled, Xiang Yan found that there was a fire here, so he sent someone to check it.
Unexpectedly, his grain and grass would be burned by Xie Yunxiao like this.
In the Chu army camp, the atmosphere is very solemn, and many generals are there at the moment, but the grain and grass are gone, and they really have no good way.
"This Xie Yunxiao is really hateful!" A general said, between his words, there was a fierce murderous intent.
"If you don't kill Xie Yunxiao, the Chu army will not be at peace!" Another general said nonsense, but it was also true.
Murong Su opened his mouth and said: "The current situation is very unfavorable to us, and the only way is to withdraw the army!" ”
"Retirement? Once we retreat, they will advance forward, and in this way, won't the territory of our Chu State be occupied by the Ning army? Yin Hong said.
Murong Su said: "The grain and grass are only enough for one day, retreat, we can still find grain and grass, we can also avoid conflicts with the Ning army, and we can also accumulate strength, and the Ning army will fight, if we are hard, as soon as the grain and grass for tomorrow are finished, we will completely fall into passivity!" ”
Xiang Yan heard this, his eyes were full of helplessness.
After a stalemate with Ning Jun for a long time, how could Xiang Yan have thought that there would be such a result?
"General, you can't retreat, you can't retreat a step!" Yin Hong said.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xiang Yan's eyes flashed with determination, and he said, "Retreat, retreat to Three Rivers City!" ”
