As soon as Hong Jianhua came in, he met his own prince's displeased eyes, and the impetuousness all over his body subsided completely. He subconsciously shook his body, and after a while, he regained his own consciousness. He had reprimanded others before, but now he Also made the same mistake.
"My lord..." His words were a little lacking.
"General Hong, you are the oldest old man in the army, why are you so frantic? The soldiers can't get in touch with this king, so your words and deeds all represent the meaning of this king, so reckless, let the soldiers below see What do you think?" Xiao Xu's cold voice spoke directly to Hong Jianhua, completely ignoring the embarrassed and embarrassed expressions of the generals behind him.
Hong Jianhua immediately regained his expression, raised his shirt, knelt down, straightened his back, and said with extreme shame, "It's the last general who didn't lead his head, the last general is guilty, please punish the general."
Xiao Xu glanced lightly before raising his hand slightly to get him up, "Remember, this is not an example."
Only then did Hong Jianhua stand up gratefully, and his face became more and more serious.
"What happened?" Xiao Xu got to the point.
After being instructed, Hong Jianhua immediately reported the news he had received, "As soon as the sun went down, Xiao Ran launched an attack again, and it was aggressive. It seemed that he would not give up until we were forced into the mountains."
Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you guess this long ago, why are you still so flustered?"
A general who followed Hong Jianhua immediately replied, "It's not just that, the mountains are already surrounded, if we do enter the mountains, we will be trapped and unable to move, and our food and grass have not yet arrived. , The current food and grass are not enough to last for three days. Entering the mountain is equivalent to running out of food. There is one more important thing. The small team sent half an hour ago went into the mountain to explore the road, and was later found dead in the cave. Given by the beast…”
At the end, the faces of several people were very ugly, "My lord, there are beasts in the mountains, I'm afraid there are more than one or two, this Xiao Ran wants to trap us in the mountains, not only to cut off our back road, but also Wants us to mingle with the beast, who sits in the back and enjoys the fisherman's advantage."
Xiao Xu squinted his eyes, is that just that
At this time, the people who received the news came to the military tent one after another. After Chu Qingyan heard Jinxin's report, she appeared in the tent immediately.
"Then what should we do now? Go directly into the mountain?" Gao Hao asked the person in front of him.
Xiao Xu's expression was indifferent, making it impossible to see what he was thinking, "It's enough to rest, you bring people into the mountains, restrain the people in your hands, and don't make any mistakes."
"Yes."
Although it was clear that it was a sea of swords and flames, they were convinced of the prince's order, and at this time they obeyed the order.
Everyone had the army in their hands, and they all retreated to make arrangements. In the end, only Chu Qingyan was left, because her army was still escorting the food and grass.
"Big ice cube, I suspect Xiao Ran has other purposes." Chu Qingyan expressed her concerns, and after feeling his encouraging gaze, she took a sip of tea and continued, "Although we are currently besieged by them , but we have a lot of people. It is impossible to trap our 100,000-strong army on the mountain. The rabbit will bite people in a hurry, not to mention that we are not rabbits. Once we are provoked, we will end up with a lose-lose outcome, but this It's not good for Xiao Ran."
Because she doesn't have an army for the time being, unlike other generals who are busy before and after, they can get out and take a look at the overall situation, so she can see it more thoroughly than others.
"The husband and wife see the same thing!" Xiao Xu reached out and scratched her nose, and then continued her words, "After all, Concubine Yue has spent so much effort to cultivate a person, and he is studious and smart. Strength, I didn't show it in front of me before, but now I'm ruthless, but I have the shadow of my father. But on the battlefield, it's all about strength, and I can see if he's qualified to be an opponent."
Brothers and wives are not to be deceived.
This is an unforgivable mistake made by Xiao Ran, and a mistake that Xiao Xu cannot forgive him.
Regardless of the relationship, the brotherhood of more than ten years was destroyed in one fell swoop.
This time, he won't show mercy.
After Chu Qingyan heard these words, she nodded in agreement, "Big ice cube, don't worry, even if he has a lot of back-ups behind him, don't be afraid, we also have back-ups."
Saying that, she winked mischievously at him.
Xiao Xu chuckled, "It's just you ghosts!"
As Xiao Ran expected, Xiao Xu's army was approached into the mountain.
"All exits have been surrounded by our people, so I'm not afraid of them escaping." After receiving the news, Yan Shi immediately reported back to Xiao Ran.
At this time, Xiao Ran was sitting in the tent, and when he heard the words, he could not help but walk out, followed by Yan Shi.
After standing on the top of the mountain, Xiao Ran looked into the distance, the dark mountain forest was as bright as day at this time, and he knew that it was where the imperial brother's army was.
The corners of his lips rose, and they had stepped into his plan step by step.
Lu Bai had already sent a message, Qingyan was kicked out of the army, her beast army was useless, and the eldest brother seemed to have broken his wings. With these 100,000 soldiers and horses alone, if he wanted to drag him, he could take it away. They dragged to death.
"His Royal Highness, when will we start?" Yan Shi asked, standing behind him.
"Don't worry, they are most heavily guarded now and can't achieve the best results. You send the order and let the army rest for a while. There is still a tough battle to fight." Xiao Ran stroked his cuff with one hand and replied calmly. .
Yan Shi nodded, turned his head and gave orders to the generals behind him. When he turned back, he saw a red figure with firelight and his back turned to him. He suddenly felt a little dazed. , has grown into a terrifying general who scolded Fang Qiu today.
Experience can change a person.
What happened in the palace, he was entangled in the grievances and grievances of Xiao Xuchu's face, and he heard a little about it, and it was inevitable that he would sigh.
At this moment, one sentence brought him back to reality from his memory.
"Two hours later, act!"
Yan Shi settled down, determined that what he said just now was not a hallucination, and immediately took the order.
Listening to the sound of footsteps leaving behind, Xiao Ran instructed the guards around him, "She was driven out not long ago, I believe she won't be far away, you send a team to find her, and bring her back no matter what means."
"Yes."
After giving the order, Xiao Ran felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and after looking at the forest for a while, he turned and left resolutely.
Two hours later, on the top of the mountain, rows of archers were waiting in line, drawing their bows and winding their bows. The difference was that the arrows were poured with kerosene, and at this time they were aiming at the deep mountain of Xiao Xu's army.
Needless to say, there are the most trees in the deep mountains. It is conceivable that so many rockets are enough to destroy the forest.
"put!"
