Chapter 32: Little Brother and Big Brother
Hong Shan sat there, looking at the drawing and thinking.
Emperor Yan said there: "Since it is not suitable to set up ambushes here, it is fair to both sides. You can take a good look and see what the hell Chi You is up to. However, this fairness is tilted in favor of our coalition army. β
looked at Hong Shan here: "Because there is the city lord of Hong, those armies in his hands." Although the terrain was not conducive to cavalry, its soldiers were still extremely lethal when they dismounted. β
"Only from the last battle, according to several spies repeatedly confirmed, the number of Chiyou troops is only half left. That is, there are less than 30,000 troops. Now, the scales of victory are on our side. And Chi You came over this time to take the initiative to provoke, aren't you afraid, we don't care about the lives of those prisoners. Take an offensive and directly cover the army to kill him. Emperor Yan raised the questions in his heart and alerted everyone.
This is also a question that Hong Shan has been thinking about in recent days.
Emperor Yan picked up the simple version of charcoal and drew a big Γ on the side of the circle at the place where they met.
continued: "According to the information found by the scouts on the side of the Hong City Lord, Chi You has been in contact with several large tribes in the north. "This is actually top-secret information sent back by an undercover agent sent before. For the sake of secrecy, he was deliberately said to be a scout by Hong Shan.
"Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that Chiyou has formed an alliance army with those tribes this time, and he wants to take this opportunity to annex us in one bite."
Then on the north side of the cowhide map, a large circle was drawn: "We are trying to find out the number of troops sent by the northern tribes. But on the outskirts of this forest, there has always been a large number of Chiyou troops, guarding there, and it is difficult for our spies to pass through. β
What Emperor Yan said, Hong Shan already knew in advance. In terms of intelligence gathering, Hongshan attaches great importance to it. So when the Union Army sends spies to investigate, the scouts on their side will definitely go over. In this way, it is also convenient for you to make a comprehensive comparison.
The army of the Chiyou tribe seemed to know that the alliance army would send spies to investigate, and it was very tightly defended on this side. aroused Hongshan's suspicions more and more, as well as his inner uneasiness.
Chiyou has fought in the north and south for so many years, and has defeated many tribes. The title of the god of war is not in vain. The last time Hongshan was able to win, it was because Chiyou himself was careless and arrogant, and he didn't know enough about Hongshan, which was caused by several reasons. Since you dare to take the initiative to come to the war this time, you must rely on it, and the plan is not small.
For such an opponent, Hong Shan can't be careless, let alone despise it.
We will meet here in two days, and the information is asymmetrical. So Hong Shan didn't have the confidence to strategize this time, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart. I didn't speak at the meeting, and I listened to several leaders chatting about their opinions.
Today's abnormality in Hongshan also made the Yellow Emperor see it. During the short break in the meeting, he took Emperor Yan with him and came over to ask the reason.
Hong Shan did not reserve it, and told them all his worries. Several other leaders on the side also heard it, and they gathered around quietly with their faces like ink, listening to Hong Shan continue to speak.
Today's military meeting was not a success, although a tactical plan was worked out, and what each person was responsible for. But everyone was affected by the suspicion that Hong Shan said, and felt that the situation was not optimistic.
It may be that in some armies, such as Hongshan's behavior, it is a typical pre-war disturbance of the army's morale, and it is necessary to be pushed out by the commander to behead the public. But everyone knows about Hongshan, leading troops to fight, and there is nothing to say about the grasp of the battlefield.
After the meeting, Hong Shan stood in front of the drawing and stared at it for a long time.
Having said that, what should be prepared for these two days is still going according to plan. Today is the time for the Confederate Army to leave, because it will take another day to get to the meeting point, and it will be necessary to leave early.
Dozens of miles ahead, scouts and Union spies rolled around the area. The army was divided into the forward battalion, the front army, the middle army, and the rear army in an orderly manner.
The alliance army made it all the way to the meeting point without incident. Set up camp and roll tents, open and secret sentinels, and send men and horses to disperse and patrol. The night passed so peacefully, nothing happened.
Until the early hours of the morning, Hong Shan lay there without sleep. He simply got up and quietly looked at the cowhide drawing again. Wait, no, there's definitely something wrong somewhere.
Hong Shan felt as if an alarm bell was ringing in his mind. Tell the guards to go out and invite several leaders of the Union Army over. Pick up a simple charcoal pen and quickly replenish the drawing.
At this time, everyone is here. When he came in, he saw Hong Shan continuing to draw there, and he didn't make a sound to disturb him, and gathered around to watch. I guessed that if I shouted now, something big would happen, and everyone was a little nervous.
Hong Shan finished painting and sighed. In a low tone: "Look at these places, the circles I added, the arrows, and the numbers marked below. Go ahead and arrange it as soon as possibleγγγγγγ β
When it was time to meet Chi You, according to the agreement, both sides had to wait far behind.
Hong Shan arrived early, standing on the hillside, looking at the sky in the distance, sighing, time flies so fast, there are too many things to deal with every day, all of them are troubles. It's still the same little hunter as before, simple and happy.
Chi You also arrived, standing there from afar and looking at Hongshan. I thought: Oh, alas. If this were my own son, then the world would have belonged to my Chiyou Jiuli tribe.
Well, this abacus is so good.
"Leader Chiyou."
"Sonγγγγγγ Lord Hong City. β
The two greeted each other calmly, as if they were a pair of forgetful friends, and they met each other with a faint reminiscence.
Hong Shan didn't bother to go around in circles: "Leader Chiyou, I don't know what your intention is to ask me to come here to meet?" β
"It's nothing, I, Chiyou, have led the Jiuli tribe to fight for many years and have won the battle for a lifetime. As a result, the boat capsized in the gutter with you. So I'm curious about what kind of person my opponent is, and I want to make friends with him. β
"Brother Chi, you are my best friend now. You're older than me, so don't mind if I call you big brother. Since we are friends and you are my eldest brother, can you be accommodating in letting go of the soldiers of the younger brother, and I will invite the eldest brother to eat roast beef. "Hong Shan is thick-skinned, and he beats the snake with the stick.
Chi You's inner drama monologue, it's so cold, this joke.
Then he said: "Big brother wants your bow making method now, I don't know what little brother Hong thinks about my proposal?" β
"Okay, so how do we exchange? Please speak. Hong Shan looked pained and asked seriously.
This sentence made Chi You stunned, this kid doesn't speak according to common sense. Shouldn't it be that after a righteous refusal, we will tear our faces and fight?
Or is it a tactful request to negotiate, a mutual tug-of-war to negotiate terms, and finally. Well, Chi You is in a mess right now.
Chi You said sincerely: "Well, little brother, you give me the method first, and after I go back to study it, I'll release him." Don't worry, big brother, I promise to do what I say. β
"Believe in you, big brother, give it, I have already drawn it, you can take it and take a look." Hong Shan threw a piece of parchment over with all his might.
After Chi You took it, he opened it and asked with a confused face: "Little brother, what is in your drawing, I didn't see the production method." β
Hong Shan prompted: "Big brother, do you see that there is a person inside?" β
"yes, it looks like someone is lying down."
"Then big brother, do you see that thing on his head that looks like a white cloud floating in the sky?"
Chi You was puzzled: "Ah, I see, the little brother's drawing level is really high." But what does this have to do with the method of making the bow? β
"Big brother, that's a dream, there's everything in the dream."
Chiyou: "γγγγγγ "This time the swear words are omitted by 500 words.
"Big brother, in the military, the younger brother really admires you sincerely, the god of war for many years does have two brushes. Your design is really a ring in the loop. It wasn't until the early hours of this morning that I woke up. After Hong Shan finished speaking, he stood there respectfully and bent down to salute.
It made Chiyou a little embarrassed and circled his head. He can tell Hong Shan, and he still hopes that he can be his son. Chi You also admires this kid very much, and he can't fight anymore when he talks like this.
"Little brother, surrender. How about coming to my Jiuli tribe, I will make you the deputy leader. Under me, manage the entire affairs of the tribe. Or be my godson and inherit everything from me in the future. "Well, Chiyou has finally said his wish.
Hong Shan was speechless, fighting is fighting, can you not spit, it's disgusting. I can't talk about this.
"Big brother, let's not be idle, let's fight first, eat well, how about it?" Hong Shan said politely.
Chi You is also polite: "Okay, little brother, you wait." β
In Hong Shan's mind, a song from the future world suddenly popped up:
"I am sad to see the crimson dancing, and I remember the first time I met at the bottom of the flower. I can't help but hang my head and cry, this time the moon is hazy, how to control my sorrow, the sorrow is the same, if the affection can be communicated, there is no need to send each other. β
The two exchanged cherishes with smiles and smiles, and turned back to their respective teams three times in one step.
Hong Shan's sixth sense is very spiritual, and his inner turmoil has become a reality.
In the early hours of this morning, the drawing shown to the leaders of the alliance army, there was a large circle in the east, which was the base camp of the Yellow Emperor tribe. The numbers marked below are eight days, walking trips.
In the southeast, there is also an extra circle, which is the base camp of the Yandi tribe. The numbers marked below are six days, walking trips.
There are multiple circles on the south side of the drawing, which is Hongcheng, and the marked number is three days, and the horseback riding itinerary.
There are also a few new circles, which are the tribes of the other leaders of the Confederate Army, and the walk is between six and ten days.
The alliance army copied Chiyou once, and now everyone's back road, the tribe will be copied by Chiyou. No, strictly speaking, it was Chiyou who united many tribes in the north and copied it together.
Chi You used himself and the Jiuli tribe as bait, and played a big game of chess in the next game of chess.
