Chapter 807: Expedition
As for what will happen on the battlefield, let's talk about it.
If at this time because they can't give them a satisfactory explanation, Dalaibu and Pantubu temporarily betrayed the water, that would be a disaster.
Even if the army on the grasslands is no longer able to compete with the two countries, there is no problem if it is only for self-protection.
But now that so many troops have been lost, it seems a bit stretched to face the invasion of two countries.
After dismissing the two chiefs, Wanyan Khan ordered the third and fourth princes to be sent to the border. There was no other way, this was impossible to cheat.
Wanyan Khan himself was also angry, and he also wanted to eat these two little beasts alive, but after all, he was his own, so there was nothing he could do about it.
After dismissing the third and fourth princes, Wanyan Khan summoned his advisers to think of ways to defeat the enemy.
But now that the grassland has lost its momentum, all the counselors who have been arguing with each other on weekdays don't know what to say at this time, and one of them even expressed the strategy of surrendering to the Chu State and bowing their heads.
Wanyan Khan immediately ordered someone to drag him out and kill him.
He hasn't been a khan for a long time, how can he be a courtier of others so easily?
In the end, Agula said, "Khan, now we have insufficient troops in the grassland, and it is impossible to take care of both sides. I think we must concentrate our superior forces to defeat one side first, and then we can take care of the other side."
Wanyan Khan looked at Agula and asked, "What trick does Agula have?"
Agula said, "Reporting to Khan, there was a plan to reduce the number of stoves in the Warring States of the Central Plains in ancient times, which made the enemy think they were defeated, but this time I want to use this plan as a plan to increase stoves. But in the range that the scouts of Chu State can detect, set up more tents and generate more cooking smoke, so as to confuse the Chu army.
However, its superior force is going to attack Zhou State's cavalry that goes deep into the grassland. Zhou State's cavalry is far inferior to Chu State, and it is even more difficult to compete with our grassland.
By the way, when the troops are deployed, they must be deployed at night, and the words during the day cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Chu people. "
Wanyan Khan nodded when he heard Agula's plan and said, "Agula is right, so I will do as you said this time, and destroy Zhou State first!"
...
Chu army camp
The three days passed quickly, and it was time for the army to set off.
Today's war drums were beating loudly inside the camp, and outside the camp were groups of majestic and murderous cavalry.
When Xiao Ye knew that King Xian wanted to temporarily add Xu Qing, he was very happy. With Brother Xu in the army, at least 60% to 70% of his brains could be saved, and the journey would not be too boring.
But when Xiao Ye knew that Xiao Ruxue was going with him, he was not so happy. There are so many good men in Chu State, and if they let women go to the battlefield, where would Chu State put his face?
What's more, the battlefield is quite dangerous. If you get hurt, how should you explain to your mother and concubine?
The last and most important point is that others may not know the relationship between the two of them, but Xiao Ye knows it well!
With these two next to him, he estimated that he could save half of the dry food along the way.
But since it was the military order set by his father, Xiao Ye had no choice but to let Xiao Ruxue follow.
Amid the beating of war drums, the army finally set off slowly, but the leader changed from one to three.
The old royal court of the Wanyan tribe is in the north of the grassland, and they are nomads with tents. It can be said that they have the ability to move at any time, so whether the Wanyan tribe can stay where they are and wait for them to pass is still a question, but their The army has been under the surveillance of Chu army scouts.
Although the grassland is vast, these scouts will report news every five days. The grassland army does not have much activity, and there is no problem even if they report every five days.
The terrain on the grassland is flat, which is good for horses. These days Xiao Ye has been ordering a hasty march, trying to fight the decisive battle with the Wanyan tribe as soon as possible, so that they can rest assured as soon as possible.
After a few days of hard marching, Xiao Ye could see the tents where the prairie army was stationed from a distance through the binoculars.
These tents are set up in an orderly manner, row upon row, which shows the strict military discipline, and there is still smoke rising from the cooking.
Even the prairie army is not full of meat every day, and must be accompanied by things like steamed buns, otherwise no one can afford such a huge amount of meat.
But there was so much cooking smoke, it seemed that the prairie people had prepared a generous gift for them.
Xiao Ye ordered to set up camp in the distance, rest first and then wait for the opportunity to move.
The cavalry of Chu State had been marching for several days, and they were quite exhausted. Naturally, they had to take a good rest and recharge their batteries to face head-to-head with the wolves on the grassland.
Although Xiao Ye kept saying on the surface that the cavalry in the grassland were a bunch of cowards and would only keep retreating when things went wrong, but that was to encourage the cavalry of Chu State.
Because they were able to win consecutive battles these days because of firearms. It had rained several times when they came, and the air was quite humid. Using firearms was wishful thinking.
In hand-to-hand combat, high morale is a particularly important factor for victory.
After all, it is a nation on horseback, and the cavalry has led the Central Plains by how many years.
In Xiao Ye's heart, he actually attached great importance to it.
But what Brother Xu said is to despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically.
Now that the grassland barracks are neat and orderly, Xiao Ye naturally has to pay attention to it.
After the tent was set up, Xiao Ruxue got into Xu Qing's tent, took off her armor and threw it aside, kicked off her boots, and rolled onto the blanket on the ground to stretch her body. .
Xu Qing is also in charge of the slogans and patrols in the camp, after all, he is already proficient in the business.
For Xiao Ruxue stretching her youthful and energetic body wantonly at his booth, Xu Qing didn't have any evil thoughts in her heart.
If it were a different person, for example, if it was Long Binger stretching her body so wantonly, Xu Qing might have had a hot nose, because this can show the woman's uneven figure to the greatest extent, especially Long Binger's The body of the foul is even more fatal.
But it's Xiao Ruxue who is rolling on his blanket and stretching his body wantonly, so it's fine...
She was not much different from her figure, and Xu Qing was calm in her heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.
Xiao Ruxue lay on the Xu Qing blanket and looked at Xu Qing who suddenly stood up and walked out, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"
Xu Qing shook the rice paper in his hand and said, "Ask brother Xiao to arrange camp patrol."
Xiao Ruxue immediately jumped up and said, "Then I will go with you."
