I didn't expect you to be such a white moonlight

The plains are rolling with clothes, the yellow sand is full of the setting sun, and the foot of Nanshan Mountain is full of depression and dilapidation.There has just been a fierce battle here, and there is no time to tidy it up. There are broken corpses and incomplete iron clothes everywhere, and crooked banners can be seen everywhere.

It means that they lost this battle.

This was Ji Huaimo's first battle when he came to Nanmu. He was full of confidence and thought he could win the first battle.But after all, he overestimated himself, and this group of recruits who had never been on the battlefield.

At this time, he was walking on the wind-ravaged plain, stepping on the blood and corpses on the ground, and finally realized the "good intentions" of Emperor Anping.

The entire Second Route Reinforcement Army does not have a veteran, does not have a seasoned staff officer, and being placed in such a place hastily is tantamount to death.

Although Ji Huaimo knew before that this was a road of no return, what he didn't expect was that Emperor Anping not only wanted him to die alone, but also wanted the entire army of the two reinforcements to be wiped out, and it was best not to return any of them.Because, among the 10 people, the private soldiers of the Eighth Route County King accounted for the majority.

If he is defeated, don’t even leave a single one behind. Not only will he severely injure the eight-way vassals who have always been a confidant in his heart, but he will also weaken their reputation and make the people of the world realize that only the royal family is their reliance. Advance his plan to cut down the feudal clan.

The most urgent thing now is to...

"marshal."

"Have you found it?"

"The whole mountain has been searched, but there is still no trace of the First Route Army."

"A good army, why don't you disappear if you don't see it?" Qin Chao walked slowly behind Ji Huaimo, frowning and said.

"Also, didn't the Twelve Princes disappear as if they disappeared out of thin air? Did the First Route Army disappear with the Twelve Princes, or did the Twelve Princes disappear with them?"

"Is there any difference between these two statements?"

"Of course it's different." Song Qifei shook his head, "The first argument means that the Twelve Princes disappeared first, and then the First Army also disappeared on the way to find him. For the prince himself, the First Route Army is just incidental. Then what about the second type..."

"It means that the opponent intends to use the whole team!"

"Smart. Marshal, what should we do now?"

"There is no outsider here, please call me by my name, it's so weird."

"Huai Mo, are you also awkward?"

"I used to be called Father Marshal in front of outsiders in northern Hebei, but I'm still not used to it after so many years. It's just called Shengfen."

"Okay then, Huai Mo, what do you think should be done now?"

"First, continue to send teams to search for the whereabouts of the Twelve Princes. If this mountain is missing, go to the next mountain to find it. Second, collect as much information as possible about the mysterious high priest. Third, truce."

"truce?"

"Yes. If we rush to fight when we don't know anything, the end will only be the same as this time, or even worse."

"That makes sense. Then I'll sneak into the city myself. Many Qili people have already settled there. Maybe I can get some useful information from them."

"Ah."

"Then I'll go and order them to hang up their immunity card!" Qin Chao said, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, Qin Chao."

"Marshal, what else do you want?"

"What has been said about me in the barracks these two days?"

"This..." Qin Chao's complexion changed immediately, and the corners of his mouth that were originally raised also drooped down, and he looked at Ji Huaimo in front of him with embarrassment.

"What? It's hard to say? You can tell from your expression that it's not a good thing to say." Although he has only been here for a month, Ji Huaimo is obviously different from when he was in Luodu, whether it is his aura or temperament.Looking at Qin Chao lightly like this already made him feel pressured.

This made him afraid to speak easily, so he had to turn his eyes to Song Qifei for help.It's a pity that Song Qifei couldn't accept his eyes at all. At this time, he was bowing his head and thinking about his plan to enter the city tomorrow.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "It's... nothing, it's just..."

"The new marshal is a piece of trash. He's a piece of shit with gold and jade on the outside? He can only defeat Zhan. Oh, maybe I will add another sentence tomorrow. He will just hide in the camp like a coward and not fight?"

"How did you know?"

!!!

Qin Chao shouted these words quickly, and then realized that he was exposed, so he covered his mouth and looked at Ji Huaimo in horror.

Ji Huaimo still had that half-smile expression, showing neither anger nor shame, but just answered his question calmly, "Because I was right behind them when they were discussing."

"This..." Qin Chao hurriedly went through those people who had said "gossip" in his mind, thinking about how they would die.

"What's your expression?" Ji Huaimo looked at him very strangely, suddenly, as if remembering something, he smiled and said, "You don't think I'm the kind who will wear small shoes for them, do you?"

"..." Don't you?But Qin Chao didn't dare to say these words.

"Don't worry, I just understand the military situation so that I can prescribe the right medicine."

"Huai Mo, don't worry, it won't take long for them to see what you are capable of."

"..." Ji Huaimo looked at the dozen or so soldiers who were bending over to clean the battlefield and collect the corpses not far away, and responded lightly, "Yes."

Ji Huaimo knew that an unpopular general would have a fatal impact on the entire army.He is working to change that, but with little success.

"Report-"

"Say."

"Qili is coming, it's already ten miles away! It has been copied from the north!"

"Report-Marshal! There are also in the east!"

"Report-Marshal! There are also in the west!"

"I... Damn it! Can't you stop for a while?" Qin Chao yelled angrily, "I'm going to fight!"

"Wait a minute. You forgot, we just said a truce."

"But do we have a strong barrier? How can we avoid war in this situation?"

"Yes, what if they attack by force?"

"..." Ji Huaimo silently put the robbing of a city on the agenda in his heart.

"Send the order, and the whole army will immediately retreat to Nanshan."

"Why? Huai Mo, this is a very dangerous decision, in case they attack with fire..."

"Look around here, what's there?"

"water?"

"Yes, Nanshan is surrounded by water, they can't get through, trust me, go!"

"Okay!" Qin Chao summoned a horse and rode him back to the barracks to quickly pass on Ji Huaimo's order, and quickly retreated to Nanshan with one, two, three, four or four teams.

Time was running out and there were too many people. When all the transfers were completed, Qili's field soldiers had already arrived at the foot of the mountain, looking at them across the stream.

Qin Chao still didn't believe it at this time, he asked Ji Huaimo: "How can a few jade belts of water block their footsteps?"
