Selfishness

When we rushed to Youguan non-stop, the troops promised by various countries also headed towards Youguan.

"Lord Xiao really trusted me, and even showed me Xiao Guo's letter." I returned the letter Xiao Han handed me to her, and at the same time did not forget to tease her.

I thought she would give me a cold glance, but she actually smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the major general may not believe it, but this king felt that the major general was trustworthy the first time I saw the major general. After a few days of contact, it is also a verification." got this idea."

"Master Xiao is not trying to win me over, is he?"

Xiao Han frowned, and said seriously: "The general thinks too much, it's just that they were born as soldiers, so they are a little close."

I don't know why, but I always feel that Xiao Han looks deflated.Could it be that you really want to make friends with me, but I suspect that you have other plans, so you can't save face?Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing.Xiao Han looked at me inexplicably, so I had no choice but to explain: "It was just a joke, I didn't doubt Xiao Guozhu. I always like to make some weird jokes and say some silly things, I hope Xiao Guozhu doesn't mind. "

Xiao Han was taken aback for a moment, as if thinking of something, he said with a smile: "I used to know a person who likes to say strange things. He is obviously a child, but he always likes to pretend to be an adult."

Could it be me she was talking about?What is pretending to be an adult?I would have been an adult!

"It sounds like I should be very close to her. I don't know where this person is now?"

Xiao Han's expression darkened a little, and he said: "The last time I met her was in Youguan. At that time, she was seriously injured, and I was forced to leave because of the imperial order. Since then, I have never seen each other again."

It turned out to be me!I am very happy to be able to leave a little impression on this high-ranking person.

"We will meet by chance."

But even if we meet, we may not be able to recognize each other.Just like now, you can't recognize me sitting in front of it.

"I heard that she has been recuperating in the secluded pass, and after the secluded pass was broken, she disappeared."

"Blessed people have their own appearance, presumably that one will be safe and sound."

"If she is really alive, I hope to see you again."

"Lord Xiao really loves her." I always thought it was funny, I sat in front of her, but she was still lamenting that we would never see each other that day, and I was still comforting her.

"I like it very much."

When I heard this, I couldn't help laughing, and Xiao Han looked at me inexplicably.

"Does Lord Xiao want to recruit her into the palace?"

"No!" Xiao Han stared wide-eyed, as if frightened, and hurriedly explained to me, "This king just wants to make friends with her. Of course, if she is willing to become an official in the court, I also welcome her very much. Only That's all! This king is not Chu Yuan, and I have absolutely no unreasonable thoughts!"

Xiao Han was really frightened by me, and I was also frightened by her performance—no, it should be surprise.I didn't expect that Xiao Han's expression could be so rich, and his behavior was already comparable to that of An Feng when he was young!

"Isn't Lord Xiao shy?"

"This king is not!" Xiao Han was very serious - except for his blushing face.

"Okay, okay, Lord Xiao, don't get excited. I know you are an upright person, and you are definitely not like Chu Yuan."

Xiao Han seemed to finally realize that it was all my joke just now, not a serious question, so he snorted softly and said: "When I was in Zhonghu City, I didn't realize that the general was so witty."

"That's because you treat Master Xiao as a confidant, so you show your true nature?" I blinked—because she might not be able to see it because of the mask, and said to Xiao Han in a brisk voice.

Xiao Han coughed lightly, and asked my opinion on the previous letter.

"Yuan Ming has always been suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and the troops he sends must be carefully guarded against." Regarding the sudden change of subject, I answered Xiao Han with a noncommittal smile.

"The Major General also suspects him?"

"The Nan tribe only attacked your country of Xiao, but never crossed the border of the country of Yuan. How can this not make people suspicious?"

"Yuan Ming is deeply scheming, so he will reveal such obvious flaws?"

When Xiao Han said this, I suddenly felt that I was a bit arbitrary.

"If there is no secret deal, is it because the Nan tribe is deliberately sowing discord?" I also doubt it.The Nan nationality is straightforward, and they mainly fight forward bravely.Those Central Plains people have twists and turns, they are rarely involved.But it does not rule out that they learn our distance meter.

"The Nan people fight bravely, and their tactics are adaptable immediately, but their strategy is superficial. They have always fought one battle after another, without strategic intentions. And this plan of separation is obviously to split the princes of the Central Plains. This kind of long-term plan is indeed not like theirs. plan of."

"The world is in chaos, and talented people emerge in endlessly. It is inevitable that some people will go to the desert to help them."

Xiao Han nodded, propped his chin and thought for a while and said: "If Yuan Ming's troops are not handled properly, it will not only fail to attack Youguan, but it may also make Xiao country guilty of framing other countries."

Xiao State and Yuan State had been in constant conflicts, if Yuan State seized the handle here, war between the two countries would be inevitable.Is Yuan Ming for this purpose?

"The troops from all over the world are gathered in Youguan, and it will be quite troublesome to lead them. I'm afraid that Yuan Ming will make trouble from it."

"Just put the troops of the three countries together and let them monitor and fight each other."

Although this is a feasible method, Chen Hui's troops are also inside.If the loss is too much, how can I explain it?

Xiao Han and I thought of many ways that night, but none of them seemed effective.In the end, I decided to make plans after seeing those troops.

After several days of driving, we finally arrived at the frontier border.

"My lord, you are back!" As soon as we arrived at the gate of the city, a man dressed as a general ran towards us happily.And when she saw me, she immediately said with some vigilance: "This must be Zhonghu City Major General Mo Xu."

"Yes, may I ask what the general's name is?"

"Lead the army in Lower Xiao Kingdom, Annan."

"Annan? Then you should go to the south, this secluded pass is in the west, it doesn't feel suitable for you."

"You!" The leader pointed at me angrily, as if he was going to kick me off the horse in the next second.

"Annan!" Xiao Han's scolding voice stopped Annan's pace, "It's just a joke from the major general, how can you be so irritable as a leader!"

After Annan was reprimanded by Xiao Han, he bowed his head and apologized to me.But the eyes that stared at me were still burning, which made me laugh-this man who blew his hair is really interesting.

"General An, don't be angry, it was just a joke." Apparently Annan didn't believe it, so he snorted coldly at me after hearing it.In the end, Xiao Han reprimanded him again, bowed his head aggrieved and stopped speaking.The two masters and servants are similar, they are both very funny, and suddenly feel that the jokes of this trip have to be borne by these two people.

"Major General, let's go to Xingyuan first."

We followed Annan and came to the front line.Xingyuan is located in a small town. Because it was captured not long ago, a lot of waste is waiting to be done. The villagers and soldiers are repairing the town non-stop.Because of this, the Xingyuan also looks a bit dilapidated, and the walls are being rebuilt in many places.Even Xiao Han's desk desk is in a small earthen hut, and his residence is also a narrow hut with earthen walls.

This Xiao Han deserves to be guarding the border all the year round, among the few kings who can live here safely, she must be the only one.

"Master Xiao really endured hardships, and he can accept such a dilapidated place calmly."

"Hmph! Our lord is not those pampered princes and kings, nor are they pompous generals." Annan looked at me disdainfully and said.

"Annan! Why are you so rude!"

"General An, do you like your master scolding you very much?" I tilted my head and looked at this burly soldier.

"nonsense!"

"Annan!"

"Pfft! If not, why do you always run on me? Didn't you realize that every time you run on me, your master will reprimand you? Could it be that you like your master calling you by your name?"

"You!" Annan's dark face was flushed, and he couldn't say a second word after looking at me for a long time.

"Major General." Xiao Han looked at me unkindly and said, "Is it enough to joke around? If it's enough, come over and look at the map."

Xiao Han was full of black air, trying his best to restrain his trembling eyebrows.

"Praise Lord Xiao's subordinates for their loyalty from the bottom up." Xiao Han gave him a cold stare as soon as I finished speaking, and I quickly added, "The battle is important, let's look at the map!"

I ran to Xiao Han's side, and seriously looked at the blueprint in Xiao Han's hand

"Master! How can you let her see our military division map!"

"Annan, the Major General is here to help us, of course we can watch."

"General An, there is a dispute between us, but now the war is urgent, can we let go of our prejudices and seriously discuss countermeasures?" I persuaded Annan earnestly—even though he was pretending, his expression was very serious—and suppressed a smile , which made Annan suddenly unaccustomed to it.He muttered something, then stood aside uncomfortably and stopped talking.

"How does the Major General think we are going to attack Youguan?"

"The city wall of Youguan is tall, and there are many ambush points along the way. It is really difficult to conquer." Annan whispered: "Nonsense." Then Xiao Han gave him a cold look.I smiled and ignored him, and continued: "Using troops to attack the heart is the first priority, and attacking the city is the second. We will catch him by surprise!"

"How about this?"

"There are three ways to go to Youguan, two are through the flat fields, and one is through the valley. It is not easy to set up an ambush in a flat place, but it will take a lot of time. Although the valley is short, it is an ambush point. If you set up an ambush again We will suffer heavy losses." I looked at Annan and said, "Which route does General An think we should take?"

Annan didn't expect me to ask such a question, and looked at me with some surprises, but after seeing Xiao Han's eyes, he still said seriously: "In my opinion, I should take the mountain road to the north. The terrain there is flat and it's not easy to set up an ambush. It is shorter than the mountain road to the south."

"But the mountain road to the north has to pass through the forest, what if we set up an ambush?"

"Send scouts to investigate, march carefully."

"If you march carefully, the time will have to increase."

"The south is full of small roads. If the enemy blocks the road, our army can't even form a formation. And the Nan people are good at individual combat and attack freely. From this point of view, the south is even more unfavorable. Could it be that the major general wants to go south? Annan looked at me with disdain and said.

"The road to the south is really not suitable." I said after thinking carefully for a while.

For Annan's cold snort this time, Xiao Han did not reprimand him, which made him intensify, so he said to me: "It is so obvious that the young general who uses troops like a god still needs to think so long?"

Annan's proud demeanor reminded me of Alaska begging for praise from the master, as if there was a wildly wagging tail behind it.

"Annan..." Xiao Han said helplessly, rubbing his temples.

"Master Xiao's general is really interesting." I looked at Xiao Han amusedly and said, "General An's choice is very correct, but that's not what I want to say."

"What does the Major General's voice mean?" Xiao Han looked at me suspiciously and said.

"These three roads are the only way for us to go to Youguan. If we had to choose which one to take, we would naturally choose to go north. In this way, the enemy thinks the same way - we must go north. "I said inscrutablely, "Just now Mo Xu said that we will be caught off guard if we want to hit them. And the enemy will naturally want to catch us by surprise, so setting up an ambush on the road must be an excellent choice."

"Then we may encounter ambushes if we go south or north?" Xiao Han frowned and said, "It seems that we have to fight a battle first if we choose that side."

"We are more likely to win by going to the north! If the enemy sends a small force, the ambush resistance will be small, and our army's losses will be small. If the enemy sends a heavy army to guard, that's just right! We can wipe out most of the enemy's elite soldiers." Annan He said proudly.

"General An is really full of vigor, and Lord Xiao's soldiers are really good." Without this kind of momentum, no matter what, I would not be able to conquer Youguan, so this time I sincerely praised An Nan, but he was too prejudiced and disdainful towards me. Said: "The commander is like this, so is the soldier."

"So let's go north?" Xiao Han seemed to know that I had something to say, so he used interrogative sentences.

"What questions do you have?" Annan said first.

"No, I choose to go in the middle!" I pointed to the section on the map that crossed the canyon, and said firmly.

As soon as these words came out, not only Annan, but also Xiao Han was shocked.She probably thought that I had other ways to deal with the ambush, but she didn't expect that I would choose the middle—the most dangerous path.

"Hmph! It's really ostentatious!" This time, Annan was not only disdainful, but even angry.

"Don't worry, General An, I have a reason." I looked at Xiao Han and said, "When we formulate our tactics, we will think about what the other party thinks, right? Then what will the enemy think about us? They must think that we will go north and south. One, or split into two groups. Does this mean that they think we must not go in the middle?"

"Bullshit! Who would go if it's so dangerous?" Annan snorted coldly.

"Yes! It's so dangerous in the middle, why would someone go? We think so, doesn't the enemy think so?"

"What does the major general mean, that the enemy won't lay an ambush in the middle?" Xiao Han said in disbelief.

"That's what I mean. The enemy's military strength is not much. Dividing into two routes to guard the north and south is already the limit. If you guard the middle, there will be basically no soldiers in the city. Therefore, if you want to set up an ambush, you will definitely not choose to set up an ambush on all three routes. "

"How do you know they won't set up an ambush in the middle? It's so easy to set up an ambush there, I must be guarding it." Annan looked into my eyes, as if telling me that I was crazy.

"I can't guarantee that they won't set up an ambush, so I can only gamble." I laughed, and I admit that I look crazy now.

"You're crazy! Isn't that telling the soldiers to die?" Annan yelled at me angrily.

"Lord Xiao." I looked at Xiao Han who was still in astonishment and said, "The army of the Xiao Kingdom has momentum and determination, but it cannot be won only by harmony. Without the right time, no matter how elite the army is, it will be useless." .”

Xiao Han was deep in thought, but didn't return to me.And Annan has already started yelling.I looked at An Nan who was jumping, and continued: "If God is on our side, we will win this battle. If not, it doesn't matter which side we go. Xiao Guo mainly wants to gamble on his own luck?"

If you don't gamble, you won't know whether you are destined to be an emperor.

"Bet a fart! You are a goddamn stick!"

"Hey, General An's remark is wrong. Do you have to recite the name of a magic stick if you have a good plan?"

"The magic trick is a fart!"

"Stop arguing!" Xiao Han glared at Annan, and Annan - the person who was so arrogant just now, became discouraged in an instant.

Xiao Han looked at me and said, "This march can be said to be a national effort, that's why Annan is so careful, Major General, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry." I smiled and looked at Xiao Han and said, "Compared with the north-south road, the road in the middle saves more than one day of time. That is to say, when we attack Youguan, it will take at least half a day for the troops in ambush on both sides to catch up." Come back to rescue. Moreover, if we suddenly appear in front of the enemy, we will overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum."

"Indeed..."

"Fart! If someone sets up an ambush, we will lose more than half before we reach Youguan!"

"This goes back to what I said before, is Lord Xiao willing to gamble on his own luck?" I looked at Xiao Han with a slight smile, saw her silent, and continued, "If Lord Xiao agrees, Mo Xu is willing to take the Mohist army with him." Walk in the middle, and the king leads the team to the north."

"Hmph! You go to die."

"What fear is there in the shroud of horse leather? If you can conquer Youguan, Mo Xu doesn't care about his own life. Besides, Mo Xu believes in his own luck."

Xiao Han stared straight at me for a long time, then shook his head and laughed at the end, sighed softly and said: "Young General is indeed a great talent."

"Master! She is clearly an enemy spy!" Poof!This sentence made me fall to the ground laughing.

"Annan!" Xiao Han scolded Annan severely, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"The lord!"

"Pfft." I couldn't help laughing out loud, so I guided both of them to me, "Don't mind, I just lament the deep love between the two masters and servants."

"Hmph!" Annan said arrogantly.

Seeing this, Xiao Han shook his head helplessly and said, "Annan is too straightforward, Major General, don't mind."

"General An's military spirit, Mo Xu admires it very much." I looked at An Nan and said, "However, it is true that General An misunderstood me. I am not afraid of the shadow, and General An can always monitor me to dispel my worries."

"Major General, why are you messing around with him?"

"This trust is very important. If there is a gap in the heart, it will do no harm to the upcoming battle."

"What the major general said makes sense. How about this? Let the major general be responsible for the training on the march."

"Master!" Annan was about to object, but Xiao Han stopped him with a look.

"It seems that Lord Xiao has determined the route?" I smiled and looked at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han chuckled, and said, "I believe in my own luck, and I also believe in the Major General." Xiao Han looked at me firmly, without hesitation in his eyes, and said, "Let's go in the middle!"

The author has something to say:

I didn't expect to have so many chapters of nonsense, and I will write more chapters in the future...
