On the long wilderness, the army of Jingguo marched forward.Si Zuo rode a tall horse, walking at the front of the line, and nine other people were also tall horses, and they were lined up behind him, some were young, some were middle-aged, and some were old, these were the other nine pre-days.After that, there are the 30,000 elite divisions they brought with them on this trip.The procession walked slowly, unhurriedly, in unison, and from time to time someone walked back and forth in the queue, as if they were patrolling something, as if they were passing on some news.At this moment, two figures suddenly fell in front of the team.Seeing this, Si Zuo raised his hand slightly, and spit out a word in his mouth: "Stop!"
”The team behind him stopped.Si Zuo got off his horse, took two steps forward, and came to the two people who were falling in front of him: "Lord Pi Shizhen, Lord Bian Rong, how is the situation ahead?"
”The two people who fell in front of them were the other two Qiantian who were with them, who were assigned by Si Zuo to go to the front to investigate the situation, and now they have returned after the investigation.Pi Shizhen and Bian Rong arched their hands towards Si Zuo, and then said: "We went forward for fifty or sixty miles, passed through seven or eight cities, and did not see a single person along the way, we also went to the city to check it, judging from the situation inside, the people in the city should have left in a hurry, many belongings did not have time to bring, some people did not finish the cooking of the food, judging from the appearance of the meal, it should have been just made in the past few days......"
After listening to the situation of the two, Si Zuo fell into a deep groan: "These people, what the hell?"
Because of the rebellion of wild beasts, a third of the land has been abandoned tomorrow, and now so much land has been abandoned, is it to give up resistance?
”Among the nine heavens behind him, a young man couldn't help but jump off his horse when he heard their words, and stepped forward, it was Si Zuo's cousin Si Qing.But I heard Si Qing say disdainfully: "What else can you do?"
We have so many advance days, and we have led 30,000 elite divisions, they know that they can't resist, and they will definitely flee behind.However, these people are also naïve, thinking that it will be okay to flee to the back?
Hum!
”Si Zuo thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be so simple, those two people are not this kind of character, I always feel that there seems to be a great conspiracy waiting for us in front." ”Although he had decided to change his overly cautious strategy, Si Zuo's cautious nature made him still have some doubts about the road ahead.Si Qing disagreed: "Cousin, don't think so much, what kind of conspiracy, in the face of absolute power, no trick is good!"
As for those two people, although they are pre-heavenly, Nanshan Kingdom may not be able to speak before they speak. ”Si Zuo nodded: "Yes, those two people may want to resist, but the people of Nanshan Country may not listen to them, and they only have the strength of two people, and they may not be able to control the overall situation."
However......"
Si Zuo looked at Pi Shizhen and Bian Rong in front of him, he was still very relieved that these two pre-heavens could put down the shelf and go ahead to explore the way.Not all pre-days can be like them.Si Zuo said to the two: "Lord Pi, Lord Bian, the two of you have worked hard, but you have to trouble the two of you to run again."
This time, ask the two of you to peek inside a little more until there is a city with people.I'd like to see how far back they go.In addition, in addition to the city, you have to trouble the two of you to go to the wilderness to check to see if they have any ambushes in the wilderness. ”"Lord Si Zuo is polite!"
The two of them spoke, turned around, first walked a few steps, then flew up, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.Si Zuo remounted the tall horse and led the army to continue to advance.…… When it was dark, the army of Jingguo stopped and set up camp on the spot.Si Zuo was thinking about Pi and Bian, and he didn't know how they were doing when they were investigating the situation before.However, he also knew that this time the two of them had to explore some more inside, and they also had to explore the situation in the wilderness, and it was estimated that they would not be able to come back today.After eating something casually, Si Zuo didn't talk to the other pre-heavens, and left the main account by himself.He had to think carefully about what to do next.The emperor did not blame the failure of the Beishan Kingdom.However, he knew that the emperor had already written down this account for him.This expedition to Nanshan Kingdom is that the emperor gave him a chance to make up for his mistakes.If he failed again, he felt that he would completely lose the emperor's trust.So, this time, you can only win, not lose.As soon as the Jingguo army entered the scene, the defenders of Nanshan and the surrounding cities immediately retreated, which seemed to be a good thing.However, there was one thing he couldn't figure out, whether the defenders of Nanshan Country and the surrounding cities fled because they were afraid, or whether they retreated strategically?
If it is to escape, then it is easy to say, even if they retreat to the rear, as soon as the Jingguo army arrives, they will have no way to retreat, and it is estimated that there is only one way to surrender.Even if some people want to resist, but the people are not aligned, there is nothing to fear.But what if it's a strategic retreat?
In the hinterland of Nanshan Country, it is said that there are several dangerous passes, which are the birthplace of Nanshan Kingdom.It is said that a long time ago, the Xing State was powerful, and in addition to making the surrounding countries bow down, it also fought against the Nanshan Kingdom.Nanshan Kingdom relied on several passes in the hinterland, and it was strictly defended, and Xing Guo could not attack it for a long time.Later, several surrounding vassal countries rebelled, and Xing had to withdraw its army, while Nanshan took the opportunity to recover the lost territory.If this time, Nanshan Kingdom still relies on these dangerous passes, can't shrink out, and strictly guards against it, what good way does he have?
Cross-border expeditions, which cannot be delayed.If it drags on for a long time, the logistics and supplies will not be able to keep up, and the soldiers will also have a feeling of slacking off because they have been away from home for too long, and they are not accustomed to the water and soil.At the beginning, because of the failure of the Beishan Kingdom, I was eager to make up for it, but I didn't expect so much.Now that he thinks about it, Si Zuo has a headache.If people rely on dangerous passes and cannot defend them, the 30,000 soldiers they bring, although they are known as elite divisions, may not be so easy to attack.At that time, I am afraid that it will be up to them to implement the strategy of "capturing the king" by relying on their twelve advance days.As long as they capture, or kill Lu Zhen and the others, the rest of the crowd will be leaderless and their hearts will be scattered, and they can take advantage of the weakness to enter.The strategy of capturing the king sounds easy, they have twelve advance days, and the Nanshan Kingdom may not be ten.However, after all, the pre-heaven is not really congenital, although it has the ability to fly, but if it falls into the trap, it can also be caught or killed and killed.They don't know much about the internal situation in Nanshan Kingdom, and they can't take this risk until they have to.As for the last resort, there is no way.The defeat of the army was abandoned by the emperor, but it was better to be in danger.As for the danger of the army, someone may be caught, and even someone may die, and he can't care so much.Si Zuo thought silently, and had a plan in his heart.
