Chapter 1112: Fighting too fast, not enough people
"The strength of the Xuanjia Army and the concession and forbearance of the Guanzhong Army have aroused the disgust and anger of the young and strong sects in the Guanzhong Army, so these young and strong sects took the initiative to plan an attack."
"But they planned this attack not to die, but to create an excuse before the war, and the purpose was to fight between the two sides. In this way, they had never seen the Xuanjia Army siege the city and the land, and they really felt that the outcome was still unknown."
"What the son of the general of the Zhang family wanted was to fight between the two armies, but he certainly did not expect that the Xuanjia Army he selected was only one-tenth of the number of people, but was just a small team that went out to patrol. When they were attacked by sneak attacks, they could still burst out with combat power beyond imagination, and instead annihilate the son of the general!"
"But, although this man died, in a sense, his plan was successful, and it was better than he had expected. After all, in the plan of the son of the general, his death must have not been included in it, and this matter was tantamount to completely angering the Southern Army."
"The current situation is that the military struggle cannot be over in just a few words. Let's not mention the face of the court for now. If the general's mansion forces the court to bow his head, it will be very unfavorable to the general's reputation."
After learning about the general situation from Gao Bing, Wang Gou and Lu Chen came to the camp prepared for them, sorted out the current situation, and then became worried.
Ran Zhan had already taken the man to the south, and the excuses at present seemed to be similar, but Wang Gou and Lu Chen knew very well that such things always depend on how scholars put their pens on them. If they talk about the general's mansion, Ran Zhan's behavior was at most reckless, but if they stood on the Guanzhong court and followed closely behind the criticism of Youzhou Group, it would be inevitable.
More importantly, the two of them ordered their missions to go on duty, which seemed difficult to do.
After discussion, they decided to write a letter to Chen Zhi first, explain the situation, and then understand Ran Zhan's progress, so as to decide what to do next.
After the situation was written, the letter was handed over to the interrogators in the army, allowing them to pass the message through the carrier pigeons.
The communication method of the pigeon has been gradually understood by some spies from forces recently and has begun to imitate it, but in a short period of time, there is no need to worry about the emergence of too many competitors.
"I heard that those three envoys will also be on their way tomorrow and will be forced to Jinyang." After doing this, Wang Gou suddenly thought of something, "Brother Lu thinks, do you want to meet again?"
"No need to meet, what the other party can say, you and I know what you have. Didn't you say it very clearly in front of Gao Bing and others before?" Lu Chen shook his head, "It's better to give the general a headache."
Unified opinions, Wang Gou nodded: "Since that's the case, let's wait for the battle report ahead. Brother Lu, how much success do you think the Captain Ran will have when he goes south this time? Will he win?"
Lu Chen pondered for a moment and said, "From the record of Xuanjia Army in the north, victory will definitely be able to win, but this time, for Xuanjia Army, it was a sudden incident and was not prepared. Although I had never brought any troops, I knew that fighting between the two sides not only depends on the battlefield, but also test the logistics supply. Xuanjia came from Youzhou, from north to south, swept across Bingzhou. Although it was invincible, the northern and southern fronts were too long, and transporting food and grass was a problem. Even if many counties surrendered, it would take a lot of energy and time to sort it out, let alone crossing the north and south of Bingzhou, supporting Captain Ran to use troops south."
"It makes sense," Wang Gou agreed, "This is also the idea. Although the Xuanjia Army is the best in the world, the soldiers and soldiers are unable to cultivate themselves and are afraid they are exhausted. This time, the commander Ran went south and could win the battlefield. He would probably find it difficult to truly occupy the counties and counties, and would not allow the Southern Army to retreat. If the two sides confront each other, it would be detrimental to the Xuanjia Army!"
Lu Chenze said: "But at that time, it was also the time when we were trying to dissuade Captain Ran from his troops. The confrontation between the two sides was just right for you and I to come forward to discuss the severance with the south."
With such a consensus, the two of them came to rest assured and waited for the subsequent development, but they didn't wait long before the news came back soon, but the content surprised the two.
"Liang Zhan won one after another, and the enemy was defeated. Captain Ran and his men occupied nearly half of the county town of Pingyang County, and then sent a letter of help."
Listening to Gao Bing's news, Wang Gou and Lu Chen were lost. This was too different from the outcome they predicted, and the final result was completely different.
But when they heard Gao Bing's last sentence, they still understood.
"But because the front line is too long, the logistics supply is no longer sustainable?" Lu Chen asked bluntly.
"It's not like that," Gao Bing shook his head, "The main reason is that the captain has fewer troops this time and can only occupy the current territory. If the troops are divided, it will be too scattered and cannot form an array, so he wants Captain Yang to send troops to support him."
"This..." Wang Gou and Lu Chen were dumbfounded, and they really didn't know how to evaluate it.
After all, they didn't know enough about the Xuanjia Army.
When the Xuanjia Army was out of power, they happened to be under house arrest, so they were misjudged. At this point, many surrounding forces have a common language with them.
Fortunately, the two of them were in Youzhou camp. After the misjudgment, they were not afraid, but instead asked for details.
On the other hand, before coming, the two of them had read the relevant files and books and were mentally prepared. However, the description on paper was not as shocking as they experienced personally.
"The two of you are going south to negotiate, and you will not hide that matter from you, so that you can feel confident when you negotiate," Gao Bing said, and took the two to the military camp, but saw wooden carved cattle and horses displaying them, but there were not four legs, but wheels. "Our logistics supply is based on the help of these wooden cattle and horses."
"So it's this thing!" Wang Gou suddenly realized when he saw it. "I heard that this thing was first created by Wu Hou and was later lost. It can transport food, grass and supplies, and is not afraid of long roads and does not consume people's strength. Unexpectedly, there are also people in the army!"
Lu Chen said, "I have mentioned one or two sentences in the previous book, but we have not paid attention to it."
Gao Bing said, "This thing is different from the thing created by Wuhou. It was proposed by the general. It was made by Mohist craftsmen. It can carry heavy objects and travel a hundred miles. With this help, there will be endless food and grass!"
"No wonder Captain Ran is so powerful," Wang Gou's eyes lit up and he nodded, "But in this case, the war will probably take a long time, so how can Guanzhong give up?"
