Chapter 228: Cutting off his food and grass
On the second day, I thought that the other side would stop fighting for a few days, but I didn't expect the horn to blow again.
The prince walked to Mo Xuan's side with a solemn face.
"Mo Xuan, what do you say the other party is going to do? Do you really want to die? ”
Mo Xuan shook his head, he was also very puzzled by the other party's behavior, it stands to reason that he should avoid the edge, and he actually started a war in a row.
"You say, could something happen to the other party?"
Mo Xuan suddenly thought of something, and suddenly spoke.
The crown prince frowned and thought, "Could it be civil strife or palace change?" ”
Mo Xuan's heart jumped, it couldn't be so coincidental, right?
Not to mention, it's such a coincidence.
The fourth prince of Zhao made waves here with them, but he didn't expect his backyard to catch fire and have a bigger problem.
In the country of Zhao, the strength of the Heavenly Family is not as good as that of some vassal kings, and there are even vassal kings who are stationed in the capital and are always eyeing the palace.
In addition to the fourth prince of Zhao, there is only one 12-year-old 7 princes left, and the remaining princes are proud and complacent, acting arrogantly, oppressing the people, and the people in the territory are miserable.
Although the fourth prince of Zhao always wrote to the emperor to implement benevolent government and love the people, there was little support from the court.
The feudal kings were even more happy to see the excitement.
This time it was because the crown prince of Zhao fell in love with a folk woman and was about to be included in the harem, and as a prince of the vassal king, he also liked this woman.
This became a feud between uncle and nephew, and even a big fight.
After a battle between the two, the vassal king was victorious, and the prince refused to accept it and decided to assassinate the vassal king.
If it succeeded, it was fine, but it didn't succeed, but it was discovered by the vassal king, and he directly crippled the people and the prince.
The crown prince is the prince of the country, the future emperor, but the prince was deposed, and at this time, all the ambitious and unambitious stood up.
Not to mention supporting the Fourth Prince of Zhao, one by one hurriedly asked the Fourth Prince of Zhao to go back.
When he returned to the country, there were constant assassinations in the open and in the dark, and he was alone, but there was no suitable helper.
At this time, he was awkward in his heart, he originally looked down on other countries, but the palace changes in other countries did not make the country chaotic, and there were still subordinates, as well as the loyal god of war, and his younger brother was his absolute support.
Looking at himself, not to mention other brothers, even his own subordinates he couldn't believe it, for fear of betrayal.
Mo Xuan and the prince didn't expect to guess the truth, so they just complained casually.
When the three of them came to the big tent, General Li had already gotten up, wearing armor energetically, and was discussing with the lieutenant generals.
He felt full of energy now, and when he saw the two of them, he said with a smile, "Your Highness, Nephew Mo is awake, come here, just wait for you." ”
The crown prince and the prince were also dressed in armor, only Mo Xuan was special, wearing a black robe.
Mo Xuan was not afraid of everyone's gaze, he didn't need him to go to the battlefield, so he naturally dressed casually.
In the middle of the night, everyone suddenly sounded, and the person in front of them was the person who took Imperial Doctor Chen to escape countless assassinations and find the antidote from the cliff, and his martial arts were extraordinary.
Old General Li naturally guessed everyone's tentative thoughts, he was not worried, and yesterday he saw Mo Xuan with a thick cocoon on his hands, he must have often danced with swords!
"The adjutant general thinks that the other side must have some conspiracy to lead us to fight against it for a long time."
"The adjutant general agrees, but will it affect our morale if we don't fight for a long time?"
"If you want me to say, let's go straight up and beat the people so that they don't dare to come out and cower within their walls."
Everyone was gossiping about their opinions.
Old General Li pondered for a long time, "Your Highness, I don't know what you think?" ”
The prince said with a serious face, "This situation does not match the style of the previous main general, so I think that the other party is only afraid that it will be a temporary change of general." ”
Everyone was silent for a while, it is true, the two sides fought evenly before, and since yesterday, the other party's means are too low-level.
"But what will make the Lord go back?"
Li Cheng couldn't help but ask.
Mo Xuan opened his mouth and said, "The prince and I guess, I'm afraid that there will be some chaos in their country, since the other party is in a hurry to send troops, I'm afraid that there will be insufficient food and grass, and they will not be able to maintain a protracted war!" ”
Everyone's faces changed slightly, if they can't fight for a long time, the other party will inevitably have to fight hard, consume more people, and it is best to kill some more enemy soldiers, I am afraid that the large army will retreat.
There will be no war when the large forces retreat for a while and a half.
Everyone couldn't help but rejoice, the two sides have become a tacit understanding for many years, and every year there will be a winter break to recuperate, and wait for the next year to fight again.
If you can enter earlier this year, you will have a longer break.
General Li made up his mind, "Fight, fight hard today, kill them directly, it's best to let them withdraw directly." ”
After withdrawing the troops, he can go to see his grandson, at least he doesn't have to worry about the war at the border pass.
The tactics were finalized, but the prince and Mo Xuan did not follow everyone to leave, and even stopped all of them at the same time.
Mo Xuan and the prince glanced at each other, and the prince said with a smile, "Xuan'er will speak first." ”
Mo Xuan nodded, and was not polite, and said directly, "General, there is still one matter for the lower officer, I want to apply for 100 sergeants, I want to destroy the other party's grain and grass." ”
The prince nodded, "Lonely, that's what it means, it just so happens that I will go with Mo Xuan, and when the time comes, I will do it, and he will command." ”
The two had surprisingly the same idea and thought together.
The prince did not shy away from saying that he let Mo Xuan command, and Mo Xuan's natural appearance seemed to be used to it.
As the saying goes, when the troops are sent out, the grain and grass go first, even if there is a war, it is impossible to make the soldiers hungry, and the other party's city wall is not close, it takes at least two days to come and go, plus one day of the big tent, at least more than three days.
I have already come once yesterday, and I came again today, and the other party definitely did not return to the city walls, so there will be no shortage of food and grass.
The grain and grass were destroyed, and these people had to go back, back and forth several times, and how much grain and grass were available to the other party? Wouldn't it be faster to withdraw troops when the time comes?
General Li touched his beard, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the two of them packed up the talents who marched and fought the war, but unfortunately one was a person from heaven, and the other had a high official position, so neither of them could win over.
"Okay, General Ben agreed, you pay attention to safety, I will transfer 500 more sergeants to you, and you will be ready to answer at any time!"
"General Xie!"
The two agreed, all the tactics were finalized, General Li led people to meet the battle, and the prince Moxuan Shizi left from the other side of the city wall with six hundred soldiers.
Grain and grass are the top priority, and they must be protected in the rear.
Circling from the flank to the enemy's rear, a large number of men and horses hid in a wood.
The three of them poked their heads out, and the enemy not far away was encamped, and the tents stood in them, heavily guarded, and they couldn't see the strength in them.
Mo Xuan spoke, "In this way, when the soldiers in front are defeated, let's change into the armor of the enemy soldiers, blend in, find the location of the grain and grass, and burn it." ”
Mo Xuan's eyes were slightly cold, he was never a good person, especially to the enemy, he would not be merciful.
