The generals all gathered in the tent, but they were unable to fill the small main tent, because some of them followed Wu Lin to capture the so-called remnant and are now trapped, while the other part was damaged in the first two. In the breakout of Rihai Yucheng, the brothers who fought side by side were lost, and the atmosphere of the entire camp was very low.
The generals who are sitting here now can be counted with one slap.
"Everyone is here?" Xiao Xu lifted his shirt, sat down in the main seat, glanced at the subordinates present, his eyes stopped on the empty seats, and a touch of pain crossed the bottom of his eyes.
Tu Ling stepped forward and replied, "It's all here."
Xiao Xu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had regained clarity and calm, "Tell me about the current situation."
Tu Ling nodded, "We have 20,000 troops on hand, and the troops on General Wu's side don't know what's going on. Now we are about 100 miles away from where General Wu is. We can get there in a day if we hurry up, but Xiao Ran's troops are ten miles away from us. He has 30,000 troops, plus 20,000,000 reinforcements, which is far more than us. And between us and General Wu, there are also three people sent by Xiao Ran to besiege General Wu. Thousands of horses."
If they rush to reinforce Wu Lin now, then Xiao Ran's people will follow closely, and those who encircle and suppress Wu Lin will immediately rush forward. At that time, they may be attacked from both sides. With their 20,000 horses, they have little chance of winning. .
"How's the situation on General Lu's side?" Xiao Xu rubbed the thumb and index finger of his left hand, his expression was calm, no one could see his mood at the moment.
"Our food and grass," Tu Ling lowered his head and took a deep breath, "has been destroyed."
Even though everyone present was mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the news.
One bad news after another, each a fatal blow.
Xiao Xu leaned on the back of the chair, raised his hand and rubbed his aching eyebrows. The emperor had already started to make arrangements. He knew his temperament and knew that he would not stay for long after defeating the Nancang army, and would continue to go to the front line of other sides. When the food and grass went first, the emperor sent people to watch, and after Xiao Ran had completely fought with him, he immediately started to burn his food and grass.
Because he had prepared enough food and grass earlier, the emperor could not take it with him for a while, and he was afraid that he would snatch it back, which would ruin it. In recent years, the cost of Xixuan's income has dropped. To be able to burn so much food and grass with a heart, it can be seen how much he hates him, and he can't wait to let him disappear from this world immediately.
Although the current situation is very unfavorable for them, it can be said that they are being roasted on the fire, but the generals present have not been in chaos because of this, because it is not that they have not experienced such a desperate situation, and that general The person they pulled out of the quagmire is right in front of them, so as long as they follow the prince, they will have a chance of survival. They have always believed in this.
At this time, Xiao Xu was silent, as if he was thinking. Everyone was careful not to make any noise to disturb him. After a while, the man who was as quiet as a statue moved. His eyes were glittering and his sharp edge was shining. He stood up and faced the The map froze.
The crowd gathered around following his actions.
Xiao Xu pointed at Xiao Ran's current position and said, "They are holding their troops now. It seems that they are waiting for our next plan, but there will be some action when there is uncertainty, so we can't stay here for too long."
He took a little bit of Wu Lin's position, "Wulin has 30,000 people on hand, and they want to eat it, it's not that easy. So send a letter to him first, let him hold on for a few more days, and hold back the 30,000 soldiers and horses. ."
Someone should come down.
The rest is 20,000 to 50,000, Xiao Xu licked the corners of his lips that were shedding skin, and his eyes showed a bloodthirsty light, "Actually, we shouldn't have only 20,000 horses and let people spread the news in the Fengqi Army, Emperor. Because this king, Gao Zhenzhu, will get rid of this king before the national crisis is lifted, I believe it will be difficult for them to return to the imperial court."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and one of them said, "Is your lord planning to bring Feng Qijun back?"
Feng Qijun was the army that Xiao Xu had called in his name before, and Xiao Ran was asked to leave the military talisman not long ago.
"They came from the people, and they were recruited in the name of the prince. When I heard this, I would definitely not see it. If they all came to support, our manpower would be equal to Xiao Ran immediately!" One person said.
Xiao Xu said lightly, "Don't incite, just ask if you are willing to follow this king, and everything is voluntary."
He didn't want these people to turn around and blame themselves.
"Master, leave this matter to your subordinates!" Liu Guang and several valiant knights stood up and asked for their orders.
This recruitment and training are all through their hands, and there is no one more suitable than them, Xiao Xu nodded in agreement.
"But we can't pin all our hopes on Feng Qijun, we need to prepare with both hands," Xiao Xu paused and clicked on a place on the map, "The mountains here are steep and there are not many trees, so it can be said that one person is in charge. Guan Wanfu is not open, after nightfall, we will walk from the mountain road to this place, at least we can delay the army behind us, not confront them head-on, and then use the terrain to fight a local war, just like a tiger ping back then It's like a war."
Hupingguan battle? That was the battle in which the prince became famous in the first battle. Fewer wins more, and it is also such a situation where the strength of the enemy and us is disparate. It is no wonder that the words of the prince were familiar to them just now. It turned out that they had heard it before.
The morale was lifted all of a sudden, and the previous depression was swept away, and everyone eagerly waited for the order.
Xiao Xu glanced at everyone present with satisfaction. These were veterans who had followed him for many years, and they were all capable. He gave orders one by one, and soon everyone received their own orders.
"But this action will inevitably arouse Xiao Ran's discovery. Someone must lead the troops to distract them, so that the large troops can be transferred smoothly."
Xiao Xu's eyes fell on the people present, everyone had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and it was impossible to tell who was responsible for this matter.
"Master, let this subordinate do it!" Tu Ling stood up and offered himself.
Xiao Xu shook his head without hesitation, "No, you're not familiar with this place, it's going to be bad luck, I'm afraid there will be no return."
To stop Tu Ling from wanting to speak again, Xiao Xu was thinking about suitable candidates. This is a dangerous move. If you don't know the terrain, know how to use troops, have strong adaptability, and have a strong psychological quality, otherwise you will not be able to complete the task at all, and the task will fail. On the one hand, it may eventually wipe out the entire army and drag down the transfer of large troops.
But no one in the tent was competent, Xiao Xu thought about it for a while, and planned to go into battle by himself.
However, at this moment, a strange and familiar voice came from outside the tent, "Let me go!"
Everyone was surprised when they didn't know who was outside.
On the other hand, Xiao Xu, who was in the main seat, tensed in his heart, and looked at the curtain that was about to be lifted in shock.
