Chapter 813: The Division Of Labor Between The 2 Armies

Xiao Ruxue's face was still pale, and he said: "I killed a lot of people today, and some even brought out their internal organs, it seems that there are intestines, blood even sprayed half of my armor... "

When Xiao Ruxue said this, her face turned even paler. When Xu Qing heard Xiao Ruxue's words, she couldn't help but think of what she saw on the battlefield today, and her face turned pale. Then the two looked at each other, and then immediately turned their heads towards Spit out in one direction at the same time.

Xiao Ye, who had just finished writing the battle report, saw such a scene when he walked out of the tent.

Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue looked at each other, then turned their heads and vomited up today's dinner.

Xiao Ye came over with the battle report in his hand, looked at Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue and asked, "Why do you despise each other so much today?"

Xiao Ruxue snorted, "I never dislike Xu Qing!"

Xiao Ye: "Isn't it disgusting to throw up after just looking at it?"

Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and said, "Brother Xiao, you haven't been to the battlefield a few times, have you? Why is your condition so good?"

Xiao Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know, I killed half of the cattle in the family."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ye added another sentence: "I killed him after falling to death."

Xu Qing waved his hand: "There's no need to explain, it's tacit understanding, and I understand everything I understand."

At this moment, a pawn came over in a panic, knelt on the ground with a cupped fist and said, "His Royal Highness! It's not good!"

Xiao Ye turned his head to look at the pawn and asked, "What happened?"

The pawn said, "One of the two snake heads we caught yesterday is missing!"

The third prince and the fourth prince are now partners who have turned from the dark to the bright, and are no longer prisoners, so the two caught later should be the ones who ran away.

This prisoner should have taken advantage of the disorderly escape.

But Xiao Ye had already obtained enough information from the third prince. Let alone one of the two escaped, even if both escaped, it would only reduce the labor force by two, it didn't matter.

Since the army led by Xiao Ye needed to continue northward to attack the tribes on the grassland to wipe out the remnants of the enemy army, they did not have the conditions to detain the prisoners, so Xiao Ye sent two teams of cavalry to escort the prisoners back to the camp on the second day. The horse sent the battle report back.

Today is a rare sunny day, but it is not a good weather for the army.

Because it's summer now, wearing armor on such a sunny day is simply killing people.

Fortunately, the Chu army sent out ice cubes. Although the amount was not much, it was better than nothing.

Zhou Guo didn't have such a good treatment, and they couldn't make ice by themselves.

Because the two armies met and Chu State was kind to Zhou State at this time, so today Su Zhong took the initiative to bring two personal guards to the Chu State camp to discuss the next step with Chu State.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Su Zhong looked at Xiao Ye and said with a smile; "Your Majesty is really better than blue. Even the virtuous king of your country never hit the hinterland of the grassland at his age."

Xiao Ye said with a smile: "The power of the whole country is for it, and I dare not covet the achievements of heaven."

Su Chong smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so modest, the future of Chu State may be limitless."

Xiao Ye smiled and said, "I don't dare to do it, but the Chu State will definitely go to a higher level."

Su Zhong continued, "Aside from thanking your country for saving us, we also want to discuss the next move. Should we join forces to attack or divide our troops into two groups?"

Xiao Ye said: "I think it's better to divide the troops into two groups. Most of your country's troops have been lost, and it's a bit difficult to attack large tribes. Why don't you hand them over to Chu, and your country can do what it can. Choose to recover some small and medium-sized tribes, so that the division of labor is clear, what does Marshal Su think?"

When Su Zhong heard this, he naturally understood the meaning of Xiao Ye's words.

If the two countries join forces to attack the big tribes, then the state of Zhou will definitely take away a share of the spoils, whether it is population or cattle and sheep. Now that the state of Chu is fully capable of destroying the three major tribes by itself, why should it cooperate with the state of Zhou?

But since Zhou Guo invaded, it is impossible to return empty-handed, but 5,000 people can't defeat any of the three major tribes, so they can only deal with the small and medium tribes.

The three major tribes concentrated most of the grassland's population and cattle and sheep, and the resource population of the remaining small and medium-sized tribes was far worse than the three major tribes.

However, Chu State obviously would not hand over the three major tribes to Zhou State. Chu State wished to have all the resources of the three major tribes!

Zhou Guo is currently short of troops, so naturally he is not qualified to challenge the Chu cavalry commanded by Xiao Ye. It is not easy for Zhou Guo to get a sip of soup when Chu eats meat, so Su Zhong did not question Xiao Ye's words .

After Su Zhong left, Xiao Ye stood up and stretched his body. Sooner or later, the three major tribes will be in the pocket of Chu State. Zhou Guo wants to share a piece of the pie with Chu State, which is simply wishful thinking.

Impossible!

Just after Su Zhong left, Xu Qing walked in. After seeing Xu Qing, Xiao Ye was overjoyed and his mind could rest again.

Talking every day, and imitating those literati to say some polite words, he was almost exhausted.

Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and asked, "What did Marshal Su from the Zhou Kingdom do here?"

Xiao Ye said proudly; "Zhou Guo had a good plan and wanted to share the benefits of the three major tribes with my Chu State, but I blocked it back."

Xu Qing nodded and said: "The grassland has been defeated one after another. At this time, the Chu State actually has the strength to fight against the grassland alone. Zhou Guo probably never thought of negotiating with Brother Xiao to attack the three major tribes together. The surrender of some of the small and medium-sized tribes is not a small result for Zhou Guo, and I'm sure that Zhou will copy the way we deal with grassland tribes in the future, so that those grassland tribes can completely return to their hearts."

Xiao Ye laughed when he heard this; "It seems that Zhou Guo's ambition is not small."

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, so our state of Chu must be more ambitious than that of Zhou. If we lose our ambition and blood, Zhao will be a lesson from the past."

Xiao Ye sighed and said: "I still can't understand how the Zhao country is so rich and the treasury can't hold it, how they manage such a rich and affluent country like this, if it is me, I will lose money What kind of money? Five thousand heavy cavalry can be built in minutes, and tens of thousands of heavy armored infantry can be built, and with firearms, they can even sweep the Central Plains."

Xu Qing said; "So, Brother Xiao, you must warn your younger generations that no matter where you save money, you can't save money from the army. Otherwise, the money saved will become old coins that are lost. The truth is always within the range of firearms." within."
