More than 200,000 vanguard troops finally reached the Dongtu Department.
After arriving at the Winter Picture Department, the eldest prince finally determined one thing.
The border troops have definitely left the border, and they have come out in full force. At least 40,000 to 50,000 people from the six battalions have come. Otherwise, they would not have taken away all the food and grass.
What is a famous general? Prince Alepeng is a famous general.
When it was replaced by another general, it turned out that all the food and supplies of the army had been stolen. There were only two choices, either to withdraw the troops and go back to prepare food and grass again, or to speed up the march and get the food and grass back.
The famous general Alepeng did not withdraw, but he ordered the rear to continue sending food and grass, and did not speed up the march, because he knew that there must be an ambush in the Chang army. As for what kind of ambush, he could not think of it for the time being. The Chang army could come out at most five or six times.
Thousands of people want to start a war with more than 200,000 people on the grassland. It is completely out of their minds. But Chang's army is not crazy, so it must be lying in wait somewhere, and there is an extremely cunning plan.
He fell into the trap and waited for him to get in with his army.
In the military tent, the eldest prince looked at the map and guessed what kind of trap Chang's army had set.
A captain of ten thousand men came in and said angrily: "If you can't get through, you still can't get through. The Chang army has mobilized a lot of men and horses, and the exploration horses can't get through their encirclement."
"How many men and horses?"
"About ten thousand people were stationed at six positions to support each other."
The eldest prince smiled: "With only ten thousand people, there is no way to stop the steps of the grassland warriors. Don't worry, if the army advances, they will retreat. No matter what tricks the Chang people play, I will not fall into their trap."
The captain showed admiration and smiled. Otherwise, he was a great prince. With this mentality, in one word, he was as steady as an old dog. If he went on an expedition with such a general, how could he not win the battle?
The old man next to him was slightly worried: "But what to do with the food and grass? If we delay it for one more day, it will be consumed a lot by the people of Chang."
"How much can they consume? There are no lost horses, cattle and sheep on the road, which means they have spent all their grain, grass, cattle and sheep..."
The eldest prince looked at the map and pointed to the location of the Peregrine Falcon Tribe: "It should be placed here."
"But what if they transport this food and grass back to their city walls."
"No, this would greatly delay their march. If this were the case, they would not intercept and kill the spies, let alone our spies, but then light a fire at night to lure the slaves to the army.
In the direction of Hayabusa, he wants us to go and grab some food and fodder, but I won’t fall into their ambush. We must maintain our formation and shrink our formation. The slave army must not pursue the enemy, nor pursue the enemy in depth, or rush them to death.”
The old man fell silent.
Although he felt something was wrong, the analysis by the eldest prince was correct and impeccable, leaving him unable to refute.
Not to mention, the eldest prince was really worried to death by Chu Qing.
Chu Qing, who had returned to the Peregrine Falcon Division, was extremely anxious, worried about the eldest prince's IQ.
As for the situation of the Pioneer Army, even the Fu brothers couldn't figure it out.
Chu Qing also completely gave up the idea of letting the herdsmen and common people act as frontier troops. Knowing that the vanguard army was still in the camps of the Dongtu Department, he asked everyone to quickly run back with supplies.
This is all because the eldest prince gave everyone time to run away. This favor must be accepted.
Sheng Zhaojun led more than 8,000 spies from behind to intercept and kill the vanguard army. Time was extremely tight, and no one knew whether any lucky spies would break through the blockade and run over by accident.
Chu Qing was also looking at the map and calculating the time.
The two fools of the Fu family whispered to each other.
Fu Yongkang said in a low voice: "I think the generals in the frontier army are just commonplaces."
Fu Baobao replied in a low voice: "But the Liang bandits' generals are worse than them."
"No wonder the two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years and neither can destroy the other."
"Rice bucket to bucket bin."
Fu Yongkang: "We meet our opponent in chess."
Fu Baobao: "You will meet a good talent."
"Wine bag versus rice bag."
"A loser versus a loser."
Chu Qing turned around: "Shut up!"
Tian Hailong and Xiao Yi didn't pay attention to these two things. Ever since the Fu family's two fools came up with the plan, their salary has been rising steadily. If nothing else, when they eliminated people, everyone except Chu Qing pretended not to listen.
Come on, besides the two of them also have this capital, who would have thought that the two bodyguards who thought they were just making up the numbers would actually know the art of war?
Although the plan has gone awry now, the results are good so far. Furthermore, no one expected that the Great Prince of the Grassland could be so bad. He had no supplies and food and grass, yet he was still slowly moving forward.
With his hands behind his back, Chu Qing pretended to be a private person, looked at the map, and murmured: "If we follow this marching speed, we can get here in three to four days. If the people and herdsmen want to transport all the supplies back, then
It will take six to ten days.”
Fu Yongkang said cheerfully: "After the Winter Picture Department, the cool thieves will find out that they have been tricked."
"What's the meaning?"
The one who spoke was Fu Bao Bao. He tilted his head and walked towards the map, pointing at it casually.
"On the south side of the Dongtu Department, you can see endless, flat rivers as far as the eye can see. You can see everything at a glance..."
"Let's get down to business!"
There was no need to explain to the guards, Fu San's expression changed slightly: "The prairie prince did not dare to advance because the enemy's situation was unclear and he was afraid of being ambushed. To the south of the Dongtu Department, the view is wide and there is no place for an ambush, let alone an ambush of tens of thousands."
people."
Chu Qing understood.
Just like what Fu Baobao said, after passing the Dongtu Department, you can see an endless horizon, a horse... In short, when you see the horizon at a glance, it is all plains, and there is not even a shadow of a ghost, you will immediately realize that you have been tricked, and you will realize that you have been tricked.
After being fooled, he would order a full-speed pursuit. The most important thing was that the spies who used the terrain to form an encirclement to intercept the vanguard army would no longer be able to do so.
Looking at the map again, Chu Qing frowned like Li from the Eight Gates. Three days, at least three more days are needed, at least three days.
"Hua Wen Hua Wu!"
Chu Qing turned around, looked at the two brothers of the Fu family, and clasped his fists: "I'm begging you as my little brother. Just give it a try and think of a way to hold them off for three days."
Everyone in the tent looked at the two fools of the Fu family, full of expectations.
Nangong Ping sighed.
The lives of tens of thousands of people and the food and fodder of more than 200,000 enemy thieves were all pinned on two fools?
Fu Yongkang and Fu Baobao looked at each other, and both of them showed strange smiles.
Chu Qing's eyes lit up: "Is there any way?"
Fu Yongkang and Fu Baobao said in unison: "No!"
Chu Qing: "..."
At this moment, Chu Qing's heart hit rock bottom.
From heaven to hell, it takes just an instant.
Although the speed of the vanguard army was slower than I expected, the problem was that the speed of the common people and herdsmen was even slower than I expected.
The people in Guanzhong were not nomads and could not drive sheep or cattle, and Chu Qing was also very ambitious and did not want to leave even a beef pellet for the vanguard army. This also caused delays on the way for the people and herdsmen who were not fast.
Even longer, the team at the front has not reached the sacred grass department yet.
Now Chu Qing is just like buying stocks, taking out loans to speculate in real estate, and borrowing money to open a physical store when the city is closed. He is no longer filled with regrets and wants to give himself a slap in the face. If he had known this, it would be just
After taking away one-third of the supplies, everyone should be almost at the water pasture.
Staring at the second fool of the Fu family, Chu Qing scolded: "Trash, what do you want to do for food?"
There was no surprise on Fu Yongkang's face, and he laughed loudly: "I knew you were turning your back on me."
Fu Baobao agreed: "It's a good thing I didn't teach you idiots how to solve this problem."
Chu Qing was stunned.
The two brothers looked at each other again and smiled.
Chu Qing's face changed drastically, and he changed his face in an instant. His face was full of flattery, and he directly raised his fists: "Uncle, Second Master, from now on you will be my eldest brother, and I will be your younger brother. Come on, teach me how to delay the cold thief."
Vanguard Army?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and they couldn't figure out how the two fools of the Fu family could hold back the vanguard army in the endless plains.
Fu Yongkang, like an elder, patted Chu Qing's shoulder: "Brother Chu, tell me, how long do you want to hold off the thief?"
Chu Qing's eyes shone: "Three days, it will be done in three days."
Fu Yongkang shook his head: "Three days, no."
Chu Qing gritted his teeth: "Then two days, two days is fine."
Fu Yongkang: "Ten days, at least ten days."
Chu Qing was dumbfounded and felt that Fu Yongkang was playing tricks on him.
Fu Baobao began to shake his head again: "Once this plan is used, it will last at least fifteen days."
Chu Qing was sure that these two bastards were just playing with him.
