Just as everyone was discussing the next action, Tan Ma suddenly reported outside the tent: "Report to... Marshal, urgent military report!"
"Come in!"
Tan Ma galloped into the tent, knelt down and reported, "Xiruo Zanzhuo led his men and horses to set up camp in Qishan."
Gao Jun asked: "How many people and horses?"
"Rough calculation, there are 60,000 people."
Gao Yun frowned and glanced at Lu Zuo, "I didn't expect Xiruozandra to be able to gather 50,000 troops in such a short two days!"
Lu Zuo thought: "It will be difficult for him to summon all the troops from all over the country at once. I think these 60,000 troops are already all the troops near Wuhai. Once these tens of thousands of troops are defeated, Tibet will have to be convinced." ”
Lu Xiuyuan asked: "Then will they stand still and wait for other reinforcements from the country? Then they will defeat us while waiting for work?"
"Probably not. This way they will take more risks. You must know that Xiruozandhuo's entire army has been wiped out in Shanzhou. If they use all their strength to fight us again, then Tibet will also be afraid of the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole. Behind you." Lu Zuo said.
"Are you talking about the oriole of Qita Kingdom?"
Lu Zuo nodded, "So the first thing they want to seduce right now is the Qita Kingdom."
An Shiqing said: "Then according to what the senior said just now, the Qita Kingdom will definitely not come to the rescue. Does that mean they will be alone this time?"
"Logically speaking, it should be right." Lu Zuo said, "I guess Xiruozandra will also think of this, so he will definitely seek a quick victory."
Lu Xiuyuan said otherwise: "That's not necessarily the case. Now that we are deep into Dafeichuan, if the opponent uses delaying tactics again, it will be very detrimental to us. After all, our logistics supply line is too long, and it is us who want a quick victory."
Lu Zuodao: "But they also need a quick victory, and it is very likely that they will come to attack the camp tonight. "
"Zor, why are you so sure?"
Lu Zuo frowned. It felt like he was confident, but also like he was giving it a try. No one except Lu Xiuyuan could see anything abnormal about the change in that moment. Then he smiled and said: "Because of past mistakes..."
Everyone was half-informed. Huo Yan had already heard enough of their noise, "Why are you talking about those useless things? Since they may attack the camp at night, we have to arrange our troops now!"
Qin Fu pointed at Huo Yan and joked: "Huo Yan, I didn't expect that a young boy like you, Jing'an, would have such a mind."
Everyone laughed after hearing this. Huo Yan pouted and said, "Are you laughing too much? Am I right?"
Qishan is located between Dafeichuan and Wuhai City. By bypassing the rugged Qishan, you can directly point to Wuhai City. That's why Xiruo Zanzhuo gathered people and horses to intercept Qishan in a short period of time to prevent the Han from doing so. The army crossed Qishan to prevent Wuhai from being directly exposed to the Han army. The most important reason why they chose to camp in Qishan was that if the Qita Kingdom was willing to send troops, reinforcements would be available soon at Qishan, so As early as the day Shanzhou was defeated, Xiruozandra had already sent people to seek help from the Qita Kingdom, so he was not in a hurry to attack. The only thing he had to do at this moment was to wait for news from the Qita Kingdom.
After waiting for a day, Xiruozandhuo was already impatient. The messenger he sent out should have returned at noon today, but it was already evening, which gave Xiruozandra, who was sitting in the central military tent, a headache. . He began to stand up uneasily, pacing back and forth in the camp. Seeing all the generals present hanging their heads listlessly, the fire of ignorance in his heart intensified, and he said angrily: "You losers, you don't know how to do it." Can you help me think of a solution?"
The air in the camp suddenly solidified, so people held their breath, blushed, and wished they could crawl into a crack in the ground and escape. They also understood that the marshal really lost his mind this time. The calm and composed coach in the past, Because this failure really made him angry. If you offer advice now, it's fine. If it doesn't suit him, then you may get a scolding, so everyone would rather endure the coach's criticism together. , and didn’t want to be picked out alone and scolded.
"You are a bunch of corpse-ridden wine-bags and rice-bags. You usually act like a tyrant, but when you go to the battlefield, every one of you is mute!" I am more than that!"
"Report..."
But when he heard someone shouting outside the camp, Xiruozandra's heart moved. He thought it was the messenger he had sent out who had returned. He was excited and worried at the same time, "Come in quickly!"
The messenger ran to the camp, knelt in the center, and reported back: "Marshal, your message has been received, but..."
Xiruozandra frowned, "But what?"
"But they are unwilling to send troops!"
"What?" Xiruozandra stared, ran to the messenger in a few steps, leaned over and grabbed his collar, and asked, "How did you tell others, why don't they send troops?"
The messenger was trembling with fear, clasping his fists with both hands, and said to Qiqi Ai Ai: "Little... I just followed your instructions! As long as the Han army is defeated, we will take back Shanzhou and Lanzhou with them. Then, every year will pay tribute and the benefits will be divided equally! "
"Then how did their marshal respond to you?"
"Their marshal said that we broke our promise last time and captured Shanzhou. He deliberately made excuses and never fulfilled his promise."
"When they replied this, didn't I ask you to answer them: Didn't the reason for the previous attack be that the Han army would send reinforcements to wait for the Han army to be defeated before carving it up?"
"My subordinates followed your instructions!" The messenger said tremblingly, "They said we were treating them as three-year-old children, and they said they would never be fooled by us again!"
Xiruozandra was silent for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand and murmured: "This is unreasonable. I think the Qita people are tired of living." Then he asked the messenger, "Did the Han army also send messengers to lobby the Qita Kingdom?" ?”
The messenger frowned and said, "Reply to the marshal, no?"
"you sure?"
"My subordinate is sure. I even asked Marshal Qita's confidants, so I'm sure there isn't one. Even if there is, he may not have arrived yet."
Xi Ruozanzhuo's veins twitched, "Whether it is there or not, it is not important to us now. You should step back first!"
At this moment, the camp fell into a dead silence again. Originally, everyone was expecting the messenger to bring back good news, hoping that it would make the coach calm down. Unexpectedly, what was waiting for him was bad news. This news is now nothing more than a surprise to everyone. It was a bolt from the blue, but just when everyone thought that the coach would be furious, Xiruozandra laughed uncharacteristically. The generals present looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
Xiruo Chanzhuo sat back down thoughtfully, with a fierce look in his eyes, and said: "When I take care of the Han army, I must destroy the Qita Kingdom." After pondering for a moment, he said, "Since they are unwilling to send troops, we Can't wait any longer. Looks like we have to do something tonight."
One of his subordinates hurriedly asked, "Marshal, what do you mean..."
Xiruozandra stood up and walked to the camp entrance. He looked at the night outside the tent. The moon was dark tonight and the wind was high. It seemed that the time was right. He secretly made up his mind to turn around.
