Chapter 87 A win-win situation "Solve the last stroke of Tuotuo in one stroke," Xuexue said with a head of grass clippings on her head, dreamily, repeating slowly along with Zhu Chongjiu's words.
By getting rid of Tuotuo, he would have completed more than half of the tasks assigned to him by Tuohuan Timur.
Then he would go back to the capital city and never have to face this devilish Butcher Zhu again.
As for who will lead the troops south next time, it has nothing to do with me anymore.
However, the last bit of reason persisted in her heart, insisting on reminding Xuexue not to be deceived.
Butcher Zhu would not let him go just like that.
Every suggestion he made seemed to be beneficial to him, but in the end, he dragged himself into a trap step by step.
He hates the imperial court and all Mongols.
He is ready to revolutionize the emperor's life and revolutionize everyone's life.
"I don't."
Using the last strength of her body, Xuexue pushed Zhu Chongjiu away, shivering and moving back with her knees, "I can't help you kill your own people.
You, you kill me now, kill me quickly.
Even if you kill me, I can't help you kill your own people."
As he spoke, he grabbed the ground with his head and cried loudly.
"Who said you should kill your own people?"
Zhu Chongjiu glanced at him, tilted his head and stood up slowly.
"I rarely harm the Mongolians I capture.
It's not like you don't know how to cry.
Don't cry.
You're a man.
Crying is nothing.
If you don't want to make a deal with me, just leave.
I promise not to stop you.
Wait for Tuotuo I'm ready, I hope he can be as easy to talk to as me."
"No" Xuexue fell down weakly again, tears welling up in her eyes.
Zhu Chongjiu was not bloodthirsty, which was a fact recognized by everyone in the court.
The reason why I am alive till now is precisely because of this.
But Tuotuo wished that he, Hama and others could be reduced to ashes, even though the latter was closer to him than Butcher Zhu in terms of blood relationship.
"How else can I say you are confused?"
Zhu Chongjiu sighed, squatted down again, picked up a towel from the ground, and wiped the snot and tears from Xuexue's face, "To end the battle, you must kill someone.
There are many ways to end the battle. , brothers have no fighting spirit , I don't want to fight anymore.
The leader is jealous of his lord, and he orders his troops.
The simplest thing is that the supply of food and supplies is not enough, and the morale of the army is unstable.
Why do you just withdraw if you don't want to?
Think about killing people.”
"You said, interrupt Tuotuo's supply of food and grass."
Xuexue raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
The army has no fighting spirit.
Now that the more than 200,000 troops under his command have indeed long been tired of war.
The emperor and his ministers believed that if Tuohuan Timur still trusted Tuituo, he would not send himself here.
However, neither of these two items can make Tuotuo withdraw his troops, because Tuotuo himself knows very well that if he returns to the court without achieving any results, what awaits him will definitely be a disaster.
Therefore, the only way is to cut off the army's supply of food and grass.
The imperial court could not do this, and officials did not dare to do it, but it was most appropriate to let Zhu Chongjiu do it.
"The food and fodder for the two hundred thousand army is not a small amount.
It will definitely be stored in a safe place.

And this place cannot be more than one day's journey from the front line.
If there is a waterway, it is best.
If there is no waterway, it must be unobstructed from the front line.
Along the way There can't be too many mountains and rivers."
While he was hesitating, Zhu Chongjiu's words rang in his ears again, each word like a heavy hammer, hitting the last line of defense in his heart.
"You tell me where it is, and I'll send someone to set a fire.
Tuotuo has no choice but to withdraw his troops."
"Huangqi Fort" Xue Xue waved her hands while quickly shrinking her body back until her butt was pressed against a wild tree, "The military rations are in Huangqi Fort.
But you don't want to think about it.
All the bridges on the Wei River are heavily guarded.
Between Huangqi Fort and the defense areas of each battalion, there are beacon towers one after another.
As soon as they get up, Tuotuo's army will attack from all directions."
"My scouts also believe that the granary should be there.
After all, it was the place where Huaiyin Hou Han Xin ordered his troops, and Tuotuo likes to be arty."
As if he didn't hear Xuexue's words at all, Zhu Chongjiu analyzed with a smile.
"You, are you ready to attack?"
Xuexue raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and asked in surprise.
After telling the location of the army's granary, he felt much relieved.
But at the same time, he began to worry about gains and losses.
If Zhu Chongjiu fails to burn the grain but is defeated by Tuotuo, he will be completely betrayed.
With the power of victory, Tuotuo will definitely continue to make great progress.
And if any of the Huai'an army failed to live up to expectations and surrendered to the court after the defeat, all the transactions between him and Zhu Tutu would be exposed in broad daylight.
"Why should I attack by force and let the brothers put on the clothes of the Yuan army and sneak over secretly?
Xuexue, you don't even have a flag to pass, right?"
She was slightly stunned by Xuexue's question.
Zhu Chongjiu looked at him and responded naturally.
"No, it's impossible."
Xuexue, who had just recovered a little strength, quickly collapsed to the ground again.
Using his hands and feet, he walked around the tree trunk and continued to retreat, "Impossible, I can't give you the command flag and let your people burn my own rations.
What do you think of me?
Why should I risk my life to help you?"
" "A good friend, isn't it?"
Zhu Chongjiu lowered his head and continued to look at Xuexue in surprise, "If I didn't treat you as a friend all the time, why would I have done so many things for you?
My Xuexue Anda, you don't know how to nine I prayed nineteen times , it’s just the last moment when you trembled and you suddenly regretted it, right?
Tomorrow you will open your eyes wide and watch how I, with more than 10,000 brothers, fought my way out of the Tuotuo army of more than 200,000 people. , fight all the way to the foot of Huangqi Fort."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible" Xuexue stopped retreating and shook her head weakly.
The disparity in military strength between the two sides was the biggest problem facing Zhu Chongjiu.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so long with Tuotuo but still couldn't get a result.
Instead, let yourself send your confidants to lead the way with the command flag and burn your own rations.
No matter how Xuexue thought about it, she couldn't help but feel that this move was ridiculous.
From ancient times to the present, have there been any generals who have done this?
Even if they have a deep hatred for their coach, they would not be able to do such a crazy thing.
"This is the best solution I can think of.
It is good for you and me."
Zhu Chongjiu did not feel that his request was excessive at all.

He slowly took a step forward and explained very patiently, "According to the businessman's statement , This is called a win-win.
After this is accomplished, Tuotuo can only lead the army to retreat in a big step, and there will be no chance to expose your record.
But on my side, I have successfully achieved the goal of repelling him, and can return to Huai'an calmly."
"You have a good idea."
Xuexue's heart kept sinking when she thought that her record would be exposed by Tuotuo at any time.
Holding the hay on the ground, he gasped hard, "As soon as Tuotuo retreated, you just followed and chased me.
Yizhou, Weizhou, and Jinan will fall into your hands again in the blink of an eye.
I was so happy at first.
There was a fight.
Zhu Chongjiu, you are a treacherous villain who kills pigs and sells meat.
Why didn’t I see your plan before?”
"This is not the way to do business."
Zhu Chongjiu was not angry, smiled, and retorted very patiently, "The key to doing business is to only consider whether you have made a profit, and don't be jealous of how much others make.
You dare to say that you are free After the defeat, will there be no other benefits to you?
Don’t tell me that you really wanted to help him when you came here."
"I, I, you profiteer" Xuexue raised her fist and smashed it against the dry grass.
Of course, he didn't lead the army here to help Tuotuo.
After Tuotuo's defeat, it was easy for the court to deal with him.
However, it is only an army of 240,000.
How could the entire army of 240,000 retreat without food?
After Zhu Chongjiu had gained all the advantages, how could he stop midway?
"And your algorithm just now is obviously wrong."
Zhu Chongjiu slowly took another step forward, shaking his head with a wry smile.
"Don't even think about it.
I only have so many soldiers and horses in total.
How can I go and take back Jinan and other places?
It's easy to defeat it, but I have to divide my troops to defend it.
Now that the city belongs to me, I have to send civilian officials to govern it.
People There is no food to eat.
I can't just watch them starve to death.
I just got a Guide and a Suzhou, and my territory is not big enough.
Am I crazy?
I am still too full to make trouble for myself."
"This" Xuexue did not consider that the Huai'an army expanded too fast and was on the verge of collapse.
The hand that was beating the ground stopped in mid-air, and his eyes widened.
"In the Battle of Guandu, did you know that Yuan Shao's food was burned by Cao Cao, and he retreated with all his troops?
Why didn't Cao Cao pursue him across the Yellow River?
Isn't it because he was too weak to catch him?"
Zhu Chongjiu slowly moved to Xuexue was beside her, smiling and giving examples.
Affected by his big butterfly, Luo Guanzhong was doing a great job as the prefect of Yangzhou and had no time to write the world-famous Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Therefore, the world has not been too misled by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms about the history of the Three Kingdoms' struggle for hegemony in the late Han Dynasty.
Xuexue has received a fairly complete Sinology education and is very familiar with the allusions in the official history of the Three Kingdoms.
In particular, the processes and results of several famous battles are all familiar.
In the Battle of Guandu, although Cao Cao gave Yuan Shao a blow in the head due to his good command.
Afterwards, he was unable to follow and pursue him and continue to expand his results.

In terms of overall strength, the Yuan family's army was still stronger than the Cao family's army.
Even in the second year of the Battle of Guandu, they calmed down the civil strife under their rule, regrouped, and prepared for a rematch with Cao Cao.
It's just that God really favored Cao Cao and allowed Yuan Shao to suddenly die of illness.
And his two sons were so unsatisfactory that they killed each other.
Only then did they end up being defeated one by one by Cao Cao, leading to the tragic ending of death and annihilation of the entire clan.
And the current situation, isn't it just like the Cao Army and Yuan Army back then?
Cao Cao won by luck and established his reputation, but his foundation and strength are still far behind Yuan Shao.
And as long as Yuan Shao's side does not have the tragedy of the death of the master and the two sons fighting for the throne, the day may not come back.
Zhu Chongjiu only had half of Henan and several states in Denglai, but the imperial court had twenty times his territory and a hundred times his population.
After the powerful official Tuo Tuo was eradicated, the government orders were smooth and the top and bottom were united.
Within a year, an army of 300,000 people could be reorganized to attack Huai'an again.
A bright flame gradually burned in Xuexue's eyes.
The world in the woods is no longer dark and lightless.
He knew that Zhu Chongjiu was right what he just said, this was a win-win choice.
One side wins now, but the other side wins the entire future.
"I have no grievances with you Xuexue, and we are even very close to each other."
Lest Xuexue was not shaken completely enough, Zhu Chongjiu slowly took another step forward and said in a very low voice, "The reason why I want to kill Tuotuo , because he sent people to blow up the Yellow River, killing more than a million people.
But I don't have an undying feud with you or the other Mongols.
As long as Tuotuo is driven to a dead end, I can return to Huai'an immediately.
If you still feel that you are at a disadvantage, I can promise you that. , within one year, our Huai'an army can only take half a step to Weishui."
"Seriously" Xuexue's eyes instantly began to shine, and there was a cold flame burning.
He raised his head and stared at Zhu Chongjiu, fearing that what he just heard was wrong.
The Weishui River originates from Jiwu Mountain in Ju County, flows up through Ju County, Yishui, and Wulian, enters Weizhou from the north of Wulian, and finally flows into the sea from Changyi.
The east and west roads of Shandong are divided into two parts from south to north.
To the west are Yidu, Jinan, Banyang and other rich and dangerous places.
To the east, only a few small fishing villages like Dengzhou, Laizhou and Jiaozhou are left.
If the Huai'an army is only trapped in Denglai, it will not pose any threat to other areas of Zhongshu Province.
And even if this battle is commanded by Tuotuo and continues for a whole year, I am afraid it will have the same result.
With strong ships and artillery, the Huai'an army could constantly mobilize troops and horses in Laizhou and Jiaozhou, and could even transport reinforcements directly from Huai'an.
Even if Tuotuo knew how to fight, he would still be helpless against Zhu Chongjiu, who had Laizhou and Jiaozhou as his horns and could not escape with the sea at his back.
"What I told you before, there were times when I failed to fulfill it."
Zhu Chongjiu did not directly answer Xuexue's words, but asked with a smile.
This question made Xuexue completely determined.
Zhu Chongjiu is indeed a devil, and he is indeed good at deceiving people, but as a devil, he always sticks to his word.
Therefore, at the moment of life and death, Xuexue would rather hand over her back to this enemy than choose those of her own race.
"No."
Looking into Zhu Chongjiu's eyes, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"You are indeed very trustworthy."
After that, he stood up suddenly, jumped up like a gambler who lost his money, stretched out his palm, and the blood vessels on the back of his hand jumped wildly.
"How many people, please tell me.
I will send my confidants to pick them up tomorrow evening.
Remember, this is the last time.
From now on, we will be clear."
"Deal" Zhu Chongjiu smiled and stretched out his hand, hitting Xuexue's hand in mid-air.
"Bah bang bang" In the dark night, the claps sounded particularly loud:
