Chapter 257 Ming Xiu Plank Road, Darkness Chen Cang!
Hearing such a decisive answer from the spy, Chang Yao was slightly relieved. Because according to his understanding of Xinan Village, this small amount of troops could not do anything to Xinan Village.
Although Chang Yao is not a person with outstanding military abilities, even he understands that King Youxian's attack focused on "surprise attack"!
He first used Prince Wulu to attract Lu Xu's attention. If Lu Xu could focus his defense on Prince Wulu, and even mobilize a large number of troops from Xinan Village to support Wei'an Fort, then he would send out
That elite force may complete a fatal blow to Xinanzhai.
"It's quite a beautiful thought!"
Chang Yao sneered: "It's a pity that his tricks couldn't be hidden from our adults after all!"
Chang Yao had great admiration for Lu Xu's ability. Now that he had experienced Lu Xu's two reminders, he was even more shocked.
In his mind, this is probably the feeling of strategizing and winning from thousands of miles away. In fact, he still feels like "I am so lucky to be able to serve under Mr. Lu."
But no matter how surprised he was? He still had to complete the task assigned to him by Lu Xu.
In addition to asking him to evacuate his original position in time, Lu Xu also ordered him to find out the enemy's strength as much as possible and then report it to Niu Er.
Now that he knew King Youxian's general troop deployment, Chang Yao immediately sent someone to report the news to Niu Er.
By the time Niu Er got the news, it was already a day and a half after Lu Xu sent someone out.
Both Lu Xu's envoy and Chang Yao's envoy were one person and three horses, and they did not stop at any time. However, the mountain road to Xin'anzhai was too rugged, and the speed of spreading the news was really slow.
Fortunately, these lightly charioted and simple envoys could not run fast, and neither could King Youxian's large army. Therefore, when Niu Er received the news, there was not even a shadow of King Youxian's soldiers and horses.
Niu Er sneered at King Youxian's wishful thinking!
Lu Xu has been running Xinan Village for so long, and the place has already become strong with troops. Not to mention that he sent more than 10,000 people, even if he sent all the soldiers and horses in his hands, Niu Er was not afraid!
However, Niu Er still kept Lu Xu's teachings in mind, despising his opponents strategically, and paying attention to his opponents tactically. He had already begun to prepare for a big war.
An obvious question is that King Youxian did modify the battle plan according to the agreement between him and Prince Wulu.
But this modification method was not what Prince Wulu expected. Prince Wulu thought that King Youxian would let the subsequent troops attack Wei'an Fort later, giving him enough time to find a way to kill Suler.
King Youxian directly sent the troops originally prepared to attack Wei'an Fort to Xin'an Village.
In other words, there is no danger that Prince Wulu’s secret will be exposed in a short period of time. But Prince Wulu doesn’t know! He thought his side was in danger.
What I have to say is that King Youxian’s move is really powerful!
On the one hand, he did fulfill his promise to Prince Wulu. On the other hand, he actually used Prince Wulu and made him work hard for his plan.
even!
He didn't have to worry about his troops suffering too much losses. He lent Prince Wulu three guardsmen, and it seemed like he was doing his best to help Prince Wulu. But what was the reality?
The Three Guards Army has its own way of disobeying orders from above, and King Youxian took the lead in formulating this method. Of course he is very clear about this!
He should be very clear that if he does not give Prince Ulu the order to execute his slaves, it will be impossible for the Iron Guard and the Eagle Guard to faithfully carry out Prince Ulu's order once the war goes unfavorably.
Then, his intention to only lend troops and not give him the power of life and death is very obvious.
During this day and a half, Prince Wulu also tried several times to launch an attack on Wei'an Fort. But all failed.
Just kidding, both the Iron Guard and the Eagle Guard saw that Wei'an Castle was not easy to mess with. Prince Wulu was not their master, nor could he help them get rid of their slave status.
According to the laws of the Beiting Khanate, only the slave owner himself can grant freedom to the slaves. In other words, no matter how much contribution the Iron Guards made on the battlefield, and no matter how grateful Prince Wulu was to the Iron Guards, he would
There is no authority to grant freedom to the Iron Guard.
In this case, how could the Iron Guard and the Eagle Guard help Prince Wulu fight to the death?
It’s not that Prince Wulu has never thought about killing one or two people to establish his authority. But firstly, King Youxian did not give him such power. Secondly, the last time he showed murderous intentions, he was discovered by the Iron Guard Commander. How could he
Maybe give him a chance to kill himself?
More importantly, if it is a slave of an ordinary family, even if the master does not give authorization, he, Prince Wulu, will be killed as long as he is a prince.
But not the slaves of King Youxian!
Because these slaves are the treasures of King Youxian, and King Youxian is Prince Wulu’s most important supporter. Prince Wulu has to worry about King Youxian, so now he really feels like he can’t command the Iron Guard and Eagle Guard.
.
Today, Prince Wulu has come to his senses a little bit. He also has a vague feeling, as if he has been given up by King Youxian.
Seeing that Prince Wulu's offensive failed to gain momentum, Lu Xu said with a smile: "It seems that Prince Wulu finally understands King Youxian's thoughts."
Surel, who was next to Lu Xu, had a look of despair. He didn't know why Lu Xu had brought him here again? What information did he want to get from him?
When Lu Xu saw Suler's expression, he just smiled slightly, and then continued: "For the current King Youxian, the most important thing is not to kill you."
"You are an obstacle to Prince Wulu, but not to King Youxian. If Prince Wulu fails to compete for the throne, it will definitely be a dead end."
"But with King Youxian's strength, he can be the one who makes the final decision when the outcome is about to be decided. Then after the next Great Khan succeeds to the throne, he can continue his life of glory and wealth."
"So, you are not important to him! I am not important to him either. The reason why he pays attention to me is because I occupy Xin'an Village. If there was no Xin'an Village, he would never look at me twice.
"
"After Prince Wulu was defeated by me, he asked King Youxian for help. He thought he got help from King Youxian, but in fact King Youxian just used him to hold me back."
"As long as the more than 3,000 people outside the city are still there, it will be difficult for me to leave Wei'an Fort. Even if I can defeat them, I will not be able to eliminate them."
"Even if I want to return to Xin'anzhai to aid, I will be harassed by them. I don't even need to be told by King Youxian about this. As long as you are still in my hands, Prince Wulu will lead his people to bite me.
Don’t let go.”
"I have to say, your Prince Wulu dares to cooperate with King Youxian? That's really like seeking the skin of a tiger!"
