Someone immediately said: "If Yecheng is flooded, how can we retreat? How can we continue to provide food and grass?"
"I think it's better to go to the territory of the King of Minnan and plunder it first. When we have enough food and grass, we can come back and attack Juyong Pass." Some barbarian generals suggested.
There was chaos in the camp.
Everyone was talking a lot.
Saihan, who had strongly advocated attacking Juyong Pass, also fell silent.
Although he is radical, he is not stupid.
What does it mean if the way back is cut off?
As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he knows the results better than anyone else.
Therefore, Saihan was rarely silent.
But he was Saihan after all. Soon, he sneered, "The Jingyang people must have used a cunning trick. Do they think I will give up attacking Juyong Pass like this?"
"dream!"
"This can only mean that Jingyang people can no longer hold on!"
After that, Saihan returned to his position as commander again and prepared to send orders to attack the city.
However, the other soldiers were unwilling, and someone immediately reported: "Now that the retreat has been cut off, if we continue to attack Juyongguan, it will definitely be a disaster!"
Anyway, attacking a city is death, and admonishing is also death.
He still chose to remonstrate first and then die.
Mudd!
You, Saihan, personally commanded, but you failed to capture Juyong Pass.
Now, like driving a donkey to a grinding mill, let us attack Juyong Pass one by one. Only if we are mentally ill will we really attack Juyong Pass.
Saihan looked at him coldly, "Don't you understand my command?"
The general replied: "Of course I understand, but the food and grass in Suicheng cannot last even a month."
"If Juyong Pass cannot be taken within half a month, our soldiers will definitely end up in chaos without fighting, and the 200,000 barbarians will definitely die without a burial place!"
Shen Nong once said: There is a stone city ten feet long, a pond a hundred steps long, a million armored men, and no food, so it is impossible to defend it!
It means that as long as the army has no food, it will be useless even if you have nuclear bombs.
Because people are not machines, they have to eat.
Just like a certain big country with enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world, people still have to queue up to buy bread.
Finally, it needs to be cool.
The same principle has been the same since ancient times.
Therefore, once food and grass are in short supply, it basically means that defeat is not far away, which is why the soldiers are anxious.
Saihan couldn't listen. He was only thinking about taking Juyongguan, so he said coldly: "You think I don't understand?"
"I tell you, if we can capture Juyong Pass, Xunyang will have enough food to feed the soldiers for a year and a half!"
"The top priority now is to capture Juyongguan. Do you have any questions?"
This statement was irrefutable to everyone.
At this time, a weak voice asked: "What if the King of Southern Fujian also takes action? How should we respond?"
Yes, if the King of Southern Fujian also takes action, wouldn't it become a flanking attack?
How do the barbarians deal with a two-front war?
Many people agreed with this statement.
"If we want to attack the King of Minnan, it is better to attack early. When he is ready to defend himself, we will have to expend a lot of effort when we attack again."
A general said.
These words quickly attracted everyone's nods.
Obviously, the idea of attacking the weaker King of Southern Fujian and abandoning the difficult Juyong Pass was more united with the generals' ideas.
Saihan also fell silent after hearing this.
If Juyong Pass cannot be attacked for a long time, and the King of Minnan takes the opportunity to make a sneak attack, or in other words, wait until he is ready.
Those people didn't even have a way out.
For a moment, he didn't know how to make a decision.
Before, the King of Minnan had mentioned that he wanted to seek peace, but he never responded.
Is it time to consider it now?
It's just that things are different now.
Will the King of Minnan still agree?
Saihan fell into thinking alone.
…
After arriving at Changyuan.
The number of barbarians is increasing.
And there are more and more rumors about Zhao Xiaole.
Many people say that the floods in the South were caused by the anger of the Dragon King. They not only flooded Yecheng but also Zhangchuan River.
He also sent the Third Prince ashore to kill people.
Kill everyone on sight!
If it's a woman, I won't kill him.
Why?
Hey, bring it back to the Dragon Palace to give birth to a little dragon!
I'll fuck you!
Someone immediately retorted.
"Don't spread rumors. Is that the third prince of the Dragon King? Have you seen it clearly?"
"Then it's obviously the Taibai Venus that descended to earth!"
"I saw it right then."
"Good guy, that Taibai Jinxing's face is so dazzling that I can't even open my eyes. Fortunately, I have good eyesight."
"I barely saw it. The god's face is indeed golden, and he also has such a thick beard."
As he spoke, he also made gestures with his fingers.
It means, that man's beard is really that thick.
In short, from Yecheng to Juyongguan, there were all rumors about Zhao Xiaole and the two thousand cavalry he led.
From shrimp soldiers and crab generals to heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, his identity changed back and forth several times.
Zhao Xiaole and others, of course, turned a deaf ear to these rumors.
Who cares about these things!
He and the soldiers were very tired.
I kept running around for a day and a night.
Many people can fall asleep while sitting on a horse or just walking.
Fortunately, the autumn rain has stopped.
The sun also came out.
Zhao Xiaole took a breath and asked everyone to find a hillside and sit down on the ground to rest for a while.
He would continue to look for the enemy's weaknesses, how to advance into Suiyang, and burn Saihan's army supplies, forcing him to have no way out.
The best way is to continuously hunt down barbarian patrols.
Obtain information from the other party.
Unfortunately, most people have no useful information at all.
Considering that there are still tough battles to be fought in the future, we should let the soldiers continue to rest and recharge their batteries.
The queen was very tired after a long journey.
But she likes to be clean by nature and doesn't want to sit on the floor.
How could Zhao Xiaole pay attention to her?
Love to sit or not.
He leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes and rested.
The queen whipped her whip onto the big tree behind him, awakening Zhao Xiaole, "You bitches, why did you murder your own husband?"
The queen's whip has barbs, and Zhao Xiaole is very aware of how many barbarian lives it has harvested along the way.
Therefore, the whip only grazed his scalp.
It still startled him.
The Queen snorted coldly, "Take off your clothes and use them as a mat for me!"
grass!
Sabi stuff.
Just keep making noise!
Zhao Xiaole closed his eyes and wanted to rest again.
A smile flashed in the Queen's eyes, and she whipped again.
In the end, Zhao Xiaole couldn't bear it any more. He cursed and took off his coat. He only wore a single coat and rested with his arms in his arms.
However, this scene has already made many soldiers jealous.
But the queen didn't like their clothes at all. The result was that the flowers fell deliberately but the water flowed ruthlessly.
Not long after Zhao Xiaole rested, a sentry suddenly came to report, "Master Hou, there is a team of the King of Southern Fujian passing in front, and they are also heading towards Suicheng."
