"The war must be fought." Xiao Chuan said: "Boda will either go to fight the Xiao family army, or he will turn around and fight us."
Shen Yu glanced at the furnishings in the tent and said, "I'm afraid the fighting has started in the front, but Boda is in the middle, preventing the news from getting out or getting in. Our military reports can only be sent back to Yanliang Pass , and then send it from Yanliangguan to Chihe and then pass it on."
It's quite complicated to say, mainly because if you go around like this, the time will have to be pushed back a few days. Time on the battlefield is crucial in an instant, let alone a few days.
Although the Charisong camp that was captured this time cannot be left behind, there are still other gains.
Shen Yu spread out the map of Xijue on the floor and looked at it for a while.
Xiao Chuan was also watching. He crossed his fingers on the map one by one, "This is the place we passed by, so we rule out that Boda and Xiao Jiajun will appear here."
Shen Yu nodded, "The Xiao family army must have its back to Chihe River to ensure that the baggage line in the rear is unobstructed. Boda must have thought of this, so their battle line should be here."
She pointed at several places.
Xiao Chuan crossed out a few more places and narrowed the scope. "It's impossible to go to these places. They are too deep to retreat. Tsk, but there is still a big place. Where are they?"
Shen Yu stared at the map and thought for a while, then turned her head and called out: "Bring in some Xijue prisoners."
The soldiers outside responded, and within a moment, seven or eight Xijue prisoners were brought in, with their arms tied behind their backs.
The soldier kicked the prisoners in the legs, causing them to kneel on the ground.
"You son of a bitch from Zhou Dynasty, bah!"
"You only know how to conspire, and you have the ability to fight us head-on!"
"Say something back." Shen Yu stood up and walked over, "I don't even understand the principle of a soldier never getting tired of deception. He just rushes forward blindly. The same goes for animals."
The Xijue prisoners were still shouting, "Fuck you, I'm bah--"
Before the final note could be finished, Xiao Chuan slapped a scabbard on his mouth, knocking out two teeth, and his instantly swollen mouth was filled with blood.
Xiao Chuan wiped the scabbard on the man's shoulder in disgust and said, "This is our Princess Beilin. Keep your mouth clean. If you don't know how to speak well, don't say anything. Let's find someone else, you."
He reached out and clicked one.
The Xijue prisoner who was named raised his neck and said, "I——"
Xiao Chuan shook the scabbard gently and said, "Speak carefully."
The man suddenly took a deep breath and said, "I would rather die than surrender."
"Oh." Xiao Chuan said carelessly: "Since you want to die so much, drag him out and kill him with a knife. We don't torture prisoners, and our main goal is to respond to every request."
Shen Yu almost laughed.
The Xijue prisoners were immediately dragged out, still kicking their legs and howling.
The shouts outside suddenly stopped, and the Xijue prisoners in the tent shrank in unison as they looked at each other.
"Who else wants to die?" Xiao Chuan pointed his knife at the Xijue soldiers one by one, "If you want to die, just tell me quickly, and you can still go on the road together."
All the Xijue prisoners remained silent.
"That's right." Xiao Chuan sat on the horse, "I will respond to your requests, and you will respond to my requests. This is called reciprocity. Isn't it good for everyone to be happy?"
Xiao Chuan said: "Let me ask you, where is Boda? Who can tell you first, entertain you with good wine and good food, and let you go back? I, Xiao Chuan, don't lie."
The Xijue prisoners looked at each other from left to right, and it was obvious that some of them had begun to waver in their hearts.
"us……"
"Don't say it!" A Xijue prisoner reprimanded loudly, "Don't believe them. The Zhou people are insidious and cunning. If we tell them, they will still kill us. If we tell them, the leader will not let us go!"
Xiao Chuan threatened and induced, "I didn't tell you that you would die, but I told you that you still have a chance. Don't you want to see your family?"
None of the prisoners spoke.
Xiao Chuan put the knife on the neck of a Xijue prisoner, "You really don't want to tell me?"
The prisoner gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
Xiao Chuan looked at Shen Yu, who shook her head slightly and said, "Take them all down and lock them up."
"You won't kill us?" asked the leading prisoner before, "Why don't you kill us?"
Shen Yu lowered her eyes and looked at the few people, "I respect you as a man. I will not kill prisoners."
Xiao Chuan frowned, "Princess, the Xijue dogs have killed so many of us, we can't let them go."
"Take it down." Shen Yu allowed no room for doubt.
Xiao Chuan's chest was panting, but he didn't say anything more.
The heat in the tent made people's cheeks heat up, and their minds began to feel slack.
Shen Yu put on a big cloak and said, "I'm going out for a walk to wake up."
Shen Yu raised the curtain and went out. Xiao Chuan pushed the knife at his waist half an inch away with his thumb and then took it back. He repeated this process several times and finally couldn't help but leave the tent and chase after her.
"princess."
Shen Yu looked back in the snow, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Chuan said: "If we don't kill these people and keep them, they will only waste food."
Shen Yu didn't answer and just said: "We must withdraw our troops."
"Why?" Xiao Chuan raised his voice, "Why did you suddenly withdraw your troops?"
Shen Yu walked slowly on the snow, "The Xijue people don't speak. We don't have a guide. If we continue deeper, we will lose our way in the snow. It's too risky."
"But we have already fought here and captured the Charisong camp." Xiao Chuan became more and more excited as he spoke, "We have won several games in a row. It is when the morale of the soldiers is greatly increased that we should take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack."
Shen Yu stopped and looked at Xiao Chuan, and her tone became serious, "Writing depends not only on morale, but also on the right time and place and the right people and we are short of two. God has blessed us until now. Luck cannot always be on our side. "
Xiao Chuan refused, "We have never fought so deeply. Now Boda is attacked from both sides. We cannot give up this opportunity in vain."
"You are brave and foolish!" Shen Yu said sternly: "Have you ever thought that if the subsequent baggage line cannot keep up, it is the best result for us to get to this point."
Xiao Chuan: "But..."
"There is no but." Shen Yu looked at him, "We can't defend Charisong. Once the news that we captured Charisong reaches Boda, if Boda retreats, it will pose a huge threat to us. We must tomorrow Break camp and return to Yanliang Pass."
"I don't accept it." Xiao Chuan said loudly: "The princess insists on going her own way. This will miss a great opportunity."
"Not convinced? Then wait until you become the commander-in-chief."
Shen Yu left without looking back.
Xiao Chuan stared at her back for a while, then suddenly took off the knife and threw it on the ground. He lay down in the snow, looked up to the sky and cursed "fuck".
