Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 114 Dispute
When Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi rushed to the Xiliang army camp, the people in the camp were neighing and huddling together.

Shen Yuexi looked at everything in front of her, and a word flashed in her mind.

Pull out the camp and set up the stronghold.

The news that Xiliang Wang Meicheng was besieged by the Xirong army in the isolated city, Mei Pu obviously also knew about it.

Cavalry came and went in and out of the tent, and some people poured water on the fire, sending out sizzling smoke.Some people put saddles on the horses, some people took off the weapons from the weapons racks, and the whole camp was filled with the tense atmosphere before the war.

"It's almost dusk now," she looked at Xiao Zhuo, "Are they going to rescue the King of Xiliang overnight?"

Xiao Zhuo nodded and said: "Exactly, the King of Xiliang is currently under siege by Xirong. If he goes late, the city may be destroyed. However, Mei Pu's move was too hasty..."

Shen Yuexi was puzzled, Xiao Zhuo said that Meipu was too hasty, did he mean that he should not rush to rescue him?
She didn't understand the twists and turns of fighting, so she simply didn't think about it.

The two walked through the crowd and walked towards the tent of the Chinese army commander.

Maple's stand-in general is patrolling around, waving to the soldiers.Seeing Xiao Zhuo coming, he still made a gesture of invitation like the previous one, and quickly walked ahead to lead the way.

Entering the handsome tent, Shen Yuexi saw the table case with half of the corner cut off at a glance, and Mei Pu stood with his back facing them, holding his sword and bowing his head.

The stand-in general walked up to him and whispered something.

"Xiao Zhuo, you came just in time." Mei Pu turned around and waved his hand to order the stand-in general to retreat, "My father is in danger, will you help or not?"

He seemed to be irritable, not polite, and even his tone was much stiffer.

Shen Yuexi was a little puzzled at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood.

The king of Xiliang didn't want Meipu to send troops to Langya Pass, but Meipu led [-] cavalry privately for friendship, so the king of Xiliang must be at a disadvantage.The Xirong army is not stupid, and will definitely take the opportunity to attack.The king of Xiliang did not have Xiao Zhuo's commanding ability to win more with less.Part of his crushing defeat was due to Maple's disobedience.

No wonder Miep was so irritable, maybe he was regretting his actions, and he couldn't tell.

Xiao Zhuo said, "Tell me first what is the current situation in Xiliang King's place?"

Mei Pu threw the long sword on the ground and made a clanging sound: "We lost more than [-] in one battle. My father planned to lead the army to retreat to Yongwei County, but was cut off by Xirong, so he had to go to Leshan County. Xirong followed surrounded the city."

"Leshan County?" Xiao Zhuo closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes again and said, "It would be fine if it was Yongwei County, but the city walls of Leshan are old and low and in disrepair. If Xi Rong attacks for a long time, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it."

"That's why I'm in a hurry!" Mei Pu walked over quickly and grabbed Xiao Zhuo's sleeve, "Xiao Zhuo, I have helped you retreat from the enemy here. If my father is defeated and killed, I will go to the Nine Springs I can't rest in peace."

Xiao Zhuo glanced at Shen Yuexi, and slowly said to Meipu: "If you listen to my arrangement, I will help you."

After Meipu heard this, he went back to the desk without further ado, grabbed the commander's seal, turned around and walked back, saying: "I originally meant that, just ask you to do it."

Xiao Zhuo took the commander's seal and said to Mei Pu: "Mei Pu, if you stay here, Yuexi will heal you."

"What?" Shen Yuexi and Meipu called out together.

Shen Yuexi still wanted to go with Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao would not let her go and wanted her to stay here.

Seeing Xiao Zhuo's attitude of not being able to refuse, she didn't make a request.But Mape raised his voice and said: "The trapped person is my father, how can I not go."

"You can't fight like this at all," Xiao Zhuo refused politely, "I'll just go, your illness is already very dangerous, only Yuexi can save your life."

Mei Pu still needs to be distinguished, Xiao Zhuo waved his hand and interrupted: "If you don't agree, you can lead the army back by yourself."

Shen Yuexi felt that Xiao Zhuo was quite greedy and wanted both.He wants to save the king of Xiliang, but also wants to save Mei Pu's life.There is an army of [-] in Xirong. I don't know if the [-] cavalry can break the siege.

She definitely wouldn't believe it if it was someone else, but if Xiao Zhuo led the army, she would be full of confidence.The only thing I don't quite understand is why Xiao Zhuo insisted on keeping Maple?

Mei Pu hesitated for a while, then looked up at Xiao Zhuo and said, "Okay."

"One hour later, your stand-in general and I will lead the army. You and Yuexi will return to Xiaogang Village for treatment, and I will leave Qiu Liming and five hundred soldiers to guard you."

"You don't need so many," Maple said anxiously, "Your father needs an army even more, I..."

"Although Xirong has just retreated, it may come to harass again later, it is a safe strategy to leave five hundred guards here," Xiao Zhuo interrupted him impatiently, "Don't worry, I will try my best to rescue the King of Xiliang."

Mape had nothing to say, so he nodded in agreement.Walking to the entrance of the tent and looking towards the east of the camp, there was a dark crowd, squatting or sitting, guarded by hundreds of Xiliang cavalry holding weapons.

"There is another question, how to deal with the five thousand Xirong captives?"

After being reminded by Mei Pu, Shen Yuexi remembered that the Xirong Army still had [-] prisoners locked up in the camp.What are they going to do?
Xiao Zhuo said coldly: "Kill it."

Shen Yuexi was taken aback, before she had time to think, she rushed forward and said, "What are you talking about! This is 5000 people, and they have already surrendered, why kill them?"

She didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to say such harsh words suddenly.

In the history she has learned, she has also seen the murder of soldiers.She always felt that it was too cruel, but she didn't expect it to be her turn to face it in person.

Xiao Zhuo said expressionlessly: "Yuexi, don't forget. There is no food in the camp to supply these five thousand captives."

"Don't the Xiliang cavalry have food and grass?" Shen Yuexi grabbed Xiao Zhuo's arm to prevent him from giving orders, and turned to Meipu, "Give them some."

Mei Pu seemed afraid to look at Shen Yuexi, lowered his head and said, "We came here to rescue and traveled lightly. Everyone only brought five days of rations. Now there are only three days left. If we distribute them to prisoners, we will have nothing to eat." gone."

"Then we can't kill them." Shen Yuexi came up with an idea in a hurry, "It's better to let them go and let them go back to Xirong."

"It will take at least ten days to walk back to Xirong from here." Xiao Zhuo reminded her, "We don't have any extra horses to share with them. The five thousand enemy troops have no food, so they can't march. If they take advantage of us to leave, rush What should I do if I enter Xiaogang Village?"

Shen Yuexi was speechless for a moment.

What Xiao Zhuo said is reasonable, if he continues to be imprisoned, there will be no food in this big camp.Once the Xiliang cavalry left, the 5000 people rose up, and Qiu Liming's few hundred sergeants could not resist at all.

If they were released early, the five thousand captives would have nothing to eat, and they would not be able to walk back to Xirong on foot.In order to survive, they had no choice but to loot nearby villages.It is equivalent to releasing a bandit of 5000 people.Then it will be woe to all peoples.

It won't work if you let it go, and it won't work if you don't let it go.

"That can't kill them," Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo pleadingly, "Let me figure out a way."

In fact, there was nothing in her mind.But she instinctively felt that since she had already surrendered, these five thousand lives should not have been lost like this.No matter how reasonable it is, she cannot accept it emotionally.

"No, I can't take the risk," Xiao Zhuo ignored her insistence, "If you let them go, not only Xiaogang Village will be devastated, but also Dongji Town and other surrounding villages will be the same. Even you... I'm afraid you will not be spared."

Mei Pu persuaded: "Miss Shen, this move is a helpless strategy. Besides, the Xirong people are wolves who plunder everywhere, and there is no problem in killing them."

"Quickly order the sergeant to dig a deep pit outside the camp." Xiao Zhuo said to Mei Pu, "We must leave as soon as possible."

Shen Yuexi rushed to the door of the tent, turned around and opened her arms to stop the two, and shouted to Xiao Zhuo: "If you kill them, I will never talk to you again."

Xiao Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then turned to Shen Yuexi with Rudian eyes: "Are you threatening me?"
