Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 124
At the junction of the dusky grassland and the blue sky, several thick black smoke pierced straight into the sky.

A round of bloody sunset reflected in the sparkling long river.Thousands of war horses huddled in the shallows of the river to drink water, and on the farther bank, groups of soldiers gathered around campfires to keep warm.

In mid-September of the 21st year of Yongde, [-] Xiliang cavalry led by Xiao Zhuo went deep into the hinterland of Xirong and stopped to rest by the Wulun River.

The general Meng Yue reined in his horse in front of Xiao Zhuo, jumped down neatly, and threw the reins to the sergeant beside him.

After days of fighting, his battle armor was covered with dust.

"My lord, the nearest Xirong army is in the southwest of us, two days away from us," Meng Yue rubbed his shoulders that were numb from whipping, "They have been frightened by us, and they dare not send cavalry to pursue them alone. "

After hearing this, Xiao Zhuo clasped his hands behind his back, looked at Song Zhen who was standing beside him, and said, "Put a pebble here."

Song Zhen bent down to pick up a stone on the ground and put it on the boulder in front of him.

On the boulder, a single red stone is located in the center.In its south, it is surrounded by four stones in a fan shape.The stone that Song Zhen just put down was the closest to the red one.

"My lord, although the enemy moves slowly, the position they pinch is very important." Song Zhen pointed to the layout of the stones, "We don't know the terrain as well as they do. If we venture to pass between the two Xirong armies, we will definitely be attacked." Flank."

"The opponent is fighting steadily and steadily, and seems to want to push us all the way to the north," Xiao Zhuo murmured, "King Doma gave up the siege of Leshan, it should be because someone gave him advice..."

Meng Yue was holding a water bag to drink water, when he heard that he put down the water bag, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said: "According to the captives, it was a centurion named Xiu Muye who gave King Doma an idea, and King Doma returned the idea. He was promoted, and now he is the commander-in-chief."

"Xiu Muye?" Xiao Zhuo raised his eyebrows, "So he went to King Doma."

Song Zhen looked at Xiao Zhuo: "Master, do you know this person?"

"I have dealt with you before," Xiao Zhuo said with downcast eyes, "This man's son once led troops to plunder Xiaogang Village, and I killed him."

"The beasts of Xirong will be slaughtered as soon as they are slaughtered," Meng Yue said indifferently, "My lord, we have now relieved the siege of Leshan. The King of Xiliang...cough, he didn't send troops to help us either."

He originally wanted to say that the king of Xiliang was a coward, but he held back considering that he was surrounded by cavalry from Xiliang.

Xirong's [-] troops came out to surround them. The lord Xiao Zhuo had already decided to attack the king of Xiliang back and forth, and only waited for the king of Xiliang to send troops.

As a result, Wang Meicheng of Xiliang must have been terrified. Not only did he not dare to send troops to attack the enemy's rear, but he led the army and fled all the way back to Yongwei County, and came behind closed doors.

This wave of operations is speechless.

The friendly army rescued him and attracted the attention of all the enemy troops.And not only did he not help the friendly army, he even escaped first.

"It's okay, I have promised Meipu to help him break the siege of Leshan." Xiao Zhuo waved his hand to signal Meng Yue to stop talking, "Now find a way to get away from the enemy army and return to the territory of Dayan."

Song Zhen picked up the fan with only a few feathers left and slapped it twice, and said, "My lord, given the current situation, I think the only plan for now is to continue going up Hebei and wait for the enemy to show up."

"Continue to go north?" Meng Yue interjected, "Continue to go north, and the barbarian kings of Xirong will definitely come to surround them when they see an opportunity. At that time, we will be unable to fly."

Xiao Zhuo said: "What General Meng said is very true, we can't continue to go north. First raise the army rations, and then look for a breakthrough."

Seeing that Xiao Zhuo had come to a conclusion, Song Zhen stopped insisting, and pointed his fan to the north of the red stone on the boulder:

"My lord, there is a Xirong village [-] miles north of us. The scale is acceptable. We can go there to plunder and gather food and grass for a few days."

The weather has entered late autumn, and the pastures on the grassland have begun to wither in large areas.War horses can still find food though.But the eight thousand cavalry under Xiao Zhuo still needed to eat.

Fortunately, the scout had scouted the surrounding terrain for hundreds of miles, so he could make a judgment based on the scout's intelligence.

Meng Yue agreed very much and said: "Master, let's go now."

In his opinion, with the character of the lord, he will definitely adopt the idea of ​​the military division.

When Beidi was first conquered, the lord often led cavalry deep into the hinterland of Beidi.Cavalry is expensive in mobility, and it is impossible to carry a large amount of food.They all plundered the nearby Beidi villages to supply themselves.Only in this way can the combat effectiveness of the army be guaranteed.

Zhuzhu just relied on this kind of flexible tactics to win repeated battles, which made Beidi terrified.Everything today is just a reappearance of Beidi.

All this he has already been familiar with.

"Is there any other way?" Xiao Zhuo did not agree, but asked Song Zhen.

Song Zhen was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to ask such a question, he hesitated for a moment and said, "If my lord doesn't want to plunder that village, there is another way, but it's a bit dangerous."

Xiao Zhuo didn't change his face, and said lightly: "What way?"

"Go out of the village and continue to the northeast for fifty miles. Xirong has a large grain storage camp there. I don't know how many troops there are." Song Zhen picked up a stone and placed it to the northeast of the red stone.

"Let's go there to grab grain." Xiao Zhuo pointed to the location of the grain storage camp.

Meng Yue was taken aback, and said to Xiao Zhuo: "Master, you can't do this."

The villages are close to each other, and they are all villagers, so even if they plunder, they will not encounter any resistance.If you forsake the near and seek far to attack the enemy's camp, you will definitely lose your troops and generals.They now have only 8000 men and horses, no reinforcements, and no food.If you can avoid fighting, you should avoid fighting.

What the hell happened to the lord, instead of doing the easy and happy looting, he actually wanted to take the initiative to fight the enemy.

Xiao Zhuo said in a deep voice, "Follow our military orders."

Meng Yue cupped his hands helplessly: "Obey."

He wondered as he turned around, the lord seemed to have changed.The previous lords didn't need to be reminded by a military advisor, they just did it naturally.Could it be that Shen Yuexi influenced him?
Speaking of the lord's wife, she is also an amazing person who can make such a powerful weapon as the Liannu.It's just that the character is not ruthless enough.

Meng Yue was about to order his sergeants to command the army, when a horse galloped from afar and stopped him.The war horse let out a long neigh, its front hooves lifted off the ground, and it snorted heavily.

A scout jumped off the horse, ran to Xiao Zhuo, and knelt down on one knee:

"My lord, I just got the news. Among the four groups of troops in Xirong, [-] of the [-] army led by King Doma went south. The leader is Su Mo Nai, the general of the [-]-man team. He has raised his troops for a day."

Meng Yue and Song Zhen looked at each other in blank dismay, but they couldn't figure it out.

Isn't their goal to capture the lord? Why did they suddenly send an army south?
Xiao Zhuo shook his body, waved his hands and said, "Explore again."

"Decree." The scout got up and was about to get on his horse, when another rider came in the distance.

Someone got off the saddle and grabbed Xiao Zhuo in front of him and said:

"My lord, I have made a thorough investigation. King Doma divided his troops into [-] troops, led by General Su Mo Nai and Deputy General Xiu Muye. They set up troops yesterday, aiming at Langya Pass."

Xiao Zhuo raised his palm and slapped it heavily on the boulder:
"I see!"
