Wen Short led the infantry to withdraw from the valley first, and then broke off the cavalry.

The next day, Zhou He let Zhou Mei lead his troops into the valley.

Zhou Mei and his cavalry searched the valley, but found only dozens of charred wagons, some scattered cloth bags containing coarse grains, and a small pile of wild vegetables spread on the ground.

There was not much food on the ground, and there was not much grain in the sack.

There were corpses next to the carriage, and among the corpses were flying snake flags.

The earth slope is piled with gravel, and there are some stoves with firewood that have not been burned out, and there are many of them.

Zhou He, who was sitting in the chariot, sighed for a moment with a strange face after listening to Zhou Miao's report.

"This article is short, it is not that the soldiers are divided into two routes, all the way to transport grain back to the station, and all the way to the valley mouth. ”

"No, it won't. ”

Shaking his head, Zhou He frowned, lowered his head and muttered to himself in thought.

"If he really divides his soldiers into two ways, how fast can the soldiers and horses run with grain and grass along the way. ”

"If he is overtaken by our cavalry, how can his whole army retreat, is it not in vain? ”

Raising his head, Zhou He, who had a fierce face, looked at Zhou He.

"You led the cavalry to follow Wen Short's department immediately, and placed more scouts on the trails and mountains around it. ”

"General. ”

Zhou Miao, who knelt on one knee in front of the car, had a trace of doubt flashing on his face.

"Grain and grass are heavy, and you have to take the road smoothly. ”

"What is the reason for our army to explore the path?"

"Humph!"

Zhou He, who was elegantly splashed and pursed his lips under his long beard as white as snow, and his eyes suddenly burst with fine light, stretched out his right hand and put it on the erected wheel in front of him.

"I know he won't be carrying grain from the trail. ”

"But I think even more, this kid can burn food!"

The right hand tightened suddenly, and the knuckles of the five fingers on the back of the hand holding Yuanmu turned white, and Yuanmu, who was overwhelmed, made a piercing "squeak" sound.

"Since the two armies have become enemies, we must know that it is difficult to transport grain. ”

"Burning the surplus grain that cannot be carried can not only speed up the soldier's march, but also destroy the evidence of his robbery of the grain truck. ”

Zhou He gritted his teeth and puffed out his cheeks, and the resentment in his eyes was highlighted.

"Our army, like other troops, is short of food, and since there is a war, how can we retreat without seeing food and grass. ”

"Wen Short must have seen through this, and after burning the grain and grass, he can gather the army and attack my tired soldiers. ”

The brilliant yellow mangs circulated in his hands.

On the sturdy wood, there was a "crackling" sound.

Dense as a spider's web, but the staggered cracks spread rapidly from the withered and shriveled fingertips of the hand holding Yuanmu.

"And I, I had to go into the army. ”

Letting go of the right hand holding the wheel, Zhou He's eyes were full of emotion, and his expression was depressed.

"If I don't enter the army, after the whole army returns to the garrison, the grain and grass will soon run out, and the grain and grass in my county will not be available for a long time. ”

"General. ”

Zhou Mei lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

"The grain and grass in our county should be delivered soon, it is better to rest the sword soldiers first, wait for the food to arrive, and then send troops to recruit the short text. ”

“......”

After being silent for a moment, Zhou Hezhong shook his head.

"In this battle, although Wen Short lost a lot of elite soldiers, most of his army was still there. ”

"Relying on the grain and straw he had, before his grain and grass arrived, it was not difficult for his soldiers and slaves to endure. ”

"And what about us?"

His face was slightly bitter, and the look in Zhou He's eyes was firm.

"If we have no food, the soldiers will be distracted, and the slaves will riot. ”

"When the grain of my county arrives, I am afraid that our army will no longer be able to conquer Wen Short, but Wen Short will raise troops to attack me. ”

"So. ”

Zhou He raised his hand and gently patted the cracks on the wood, and the palms covered with thick calluses were thin but still soft, caressing them in the most dense cracks.

A thick and inmovable feeling of rocking, attached to the constantly flowing air, spread from the wood to the surroundings.

"This battle will continue. ”

Removing his palm, Zhou He looked at the wood, a touch of earthy brown wood in a gray brown, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Let the whole army enter the valley, you lead the cavalry in front, and arrange more scouts. ”

"Yes. ”

Zhou Mian got up, straightened the ring iron armor on his shoulder, and turned around and left with a blue face.

Outside the valley, among the green hills, there is no trace of people.

There are many kinds of barbarians, and the clan where the chief is located, who lives in the mountains all year round, is the mountain barbarians.

Since you are begging for a life in the mountains, of course you must know the mountains.

The Chi chief knows the mountains very well.

The mountain road is what he led people to find.

The road is rugged and steep, difficult for ordinary people to walk, but very hidden.

Among the five thousand ordinary people, Liu Heng and Yougen, two outliers, took care of them one after the other, but they didn't lose much.

Only a few horses with bamboo chips in their mouths, still disobedient, swayed their bodies in fear and panic when they walked between the narrow walls, causing their legs to slip and unfortunately roll down the foothills.

There is a horse with a bald hair on his head, always at the end of the line.

A thick mist mixed with moist water vapor between the mountains squirmed and crawled blood-sucking locusts among the powdery soil.

The unknown bird opened its throat and howled hoarsely in the forest, its voice was terrible and gloomy, but it was strangely full of life.

Hidden in the clear water between the mountain walls, you will hear a chaotic and shrill croaking of frogs, and you will hear a hoarse snake or two in between.

Hiding from the insects and ants under his feet, he gathered his vitality in his ears, listening to the sound from the side of the mountain road, and the absurd feeling of being in the downtown area arose in his heart.

The team walked all night, and at dawn the next day, they finally descended the mountain.

The morning light shimmered through the black curtain, and the end of the gray dome took on a deep purple-red.

The sunset shines through the mountains and rises slowly from behind the mountains.

Yougen turned around and looked up, quietly looking at the rising sun that gradually rose into the sky, and smiled.

The soldiers who walked down the mountain rested in place, and the stone brain held the lotus leaf loaded with clear water and walked to Yougen's side.

Yougen turned around and took it with a smile.

At noon, the hot sun hung in the sky.

Five thousand men sat at the foot of the mountain, and ate the raw millet and the flesh with blood that had been fed to the horses.

Liu Heng called Yougen and said to Yougen: "The spies have already gotten the news." ”

"Oh. ”

Yougen's face was stunned, and he suddenly showed excitement.

"Which way did they really go?"

"Yes. ”

Liu Heng nodded, his face was also very excited.

"As you might expect, they did take the nearest road. ”

"Huh. ”

Hearing this, Yougen chuckled.

"There must be a lot of grain and grass transported by the two counties this time, and if they are robbed, the general will definitely be able to break the garrison of the two counties. ”

"Huh. ”

Liu Heng, who was excited, also laughed, and his hands trembled slightly because of this.

"In your opinion, after our army robs the grain, which county should be hit?"

Hearing this, Yougen shook his head and said, "General, I see, none of us have to fight." ”

"When they hear that we have robbed the grain and grass, they must be troubled. ”

"We could have asked one of them to come out for a decisive battle, and I don't expect them to come. ”

"If we provoke civil strife in its county, or avoid fighting and set up a defense outside the Yinshui Array, it will be defeated in the future. ”

In this book, I believe readers have also seen that Nihan intends to use it to practice writing after the application of 50,000 words is not successful.

The potential contract has been signed, although I know that the contract is not very good, but I am not too prisoner, and you can rest assured.

As for making money and the like, this book is muddy and cold, and I have to think about it as the next one.

As for the shelves and the like, the mud cold will be on the table, but wait until the plot is rolled out.

Liu Heng hasn't hung up yet, the Yinshui array hasn't been slaughtered yet, the male No. 1 has not yet worn an iron mask, Brahma has not died, and Wugen has not yet appeared.

It's on the shelves now, and it's a little early.
