C2877 Who Was the Abandoned Child?
Chu Bai and Qi Feng did not get an answer. They noticed that Jiang Ting was ignoring them, so they quickly lowered their heads and stood by the side. They accompanied Jiang Ting to look at the sky and the earth under the night sky. They accompanied... the night wind.
They only felt that Jiang Ting's scheme was unfathomable. Up until now, they still didn't know what Jiang Ting was going to do.
According to their understanding of Jiang Ting's personality, he definitely would not use the strength of the ten thousand troops of Ke Yang... But in fact, after Ming Jin withdrew his troops today, they were sent to Ke Yang's army camp personally.
The mission was also very simple. Jiang Ting wanted to mobilize the ten thousand troops.
But... what was the use of mobilizing the ten thousand troops? Even with those ten thousand troops, it would not be able to completely reverse the situation. It would only slightly reduce the losses of Jiang Ting's army.
What they could not understand the most was that although Jiang Ting had moved... according to Jiang Ting's message, Ke Yang's ten thousand soldiers would not enter the battlefield at all.
Compared to Yang Wei's intimidation, some of the losses should be... totally incomparable.
An hour quickly passed in the midst of their confused thoughts.
During this time, the three of them had been blowing the night wind.
As soon as the time passed, Jiang Ting turned around. "Return to the military camp."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ting jumped off the city wall and rode his horse away.
Qi Feng and Chu Bai saw this and hurriedly jumped off the city wall as well. Then, they mounted their horses and followed.
...
Iron Dragon Pass, a few miles away.
Ke Yang's ten thousand soldiers were stationed there. The military camp was filled with killing intent and killing intent. Ten thousand soldiers, at least five thousand of them, had countless wounds on their bodies.
These were the veterans under Ke Yang, the elite soldiers who had survived dozens of battles between the two armies.
In the center, in the big tent.
Many generals that Jiang Ting did not recognize stood there. The atmosphere was rather dull.
After an unknown period of time, a person dressed like a strategist held a feather fan and said softly, "What does King Yun Jiang want to do? I have a feeling that he might be plotting something. "
"The Zhao army has a hundred thousand soldiers to suppress the rebellion. He can't defeat them, so he naturally needs help." A few of the tall and sturdy generals laughed.
"The scouts reported that in today's battle, the Jiang army lost three thousand men, and the Zhao army lost fifteen thousand men. The casualties on both sides are negligible..."
After a pause, the strategist narrowed his eyes. "One-to-five losses. Even if the Zhao army had one hundred thousand soldiers, they would still lose the new recruits of the Zhao and Jiang armies. If nothing unexpected happens, if the following battles are like today... In five days at most, the 100 thousand soldiers of the Zhao Army would be killed. "As for the Jiang army, they will have at least ten thousand elites left."
The tent's breathing quickened.
After a while, the bearded man shook his head. "The king has said that he wants us to cooperate with him with all our might. Now that the Duke of Yun Jiang has sent a message, can we reject him? "
The other generals nodded their heads in agreement. "Indeed. No matter what King Yun Jiang's plan is, we will do our best to cooperate with him and obey his orders. After that, we will return. " No matter what schemes he has, he won't be able to plot against us. "
When the strategist saw this, his feather fan trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed a gloomy expression. As a strategist, he always felt that Jiang Ting had a plot, but what exactly it was, he couldn't think of nor understand.
After a long silence, he could only sigh. "Now, this is the only thing we can do. Our Jiangyuan Prefecture is short of grain. Apart from King Yunjiang, the other powers are not willing to provide unlimited grain. Even if there is a plot, we can only step in..."
...
Jiang Ting's army camp.
In the central tent.
When Jiang Ting returned with Chu Bai and Qi Feng, Han Zhuo, Gai Yi, and the other generals were still in the tent.
"King." The generals stood up.
Jiang Ting nodded slightly and returned to his seat in the depths of the tent.
After he sat down, he said, "How's the discussion going?"
Everyone glanced at each other, and Gai Yi stood up. "King, I will lead the front troops to engage in small-scale battles with the Zhao army tomorrow. At the same time, I will pretend to be defeated."
Han Zhuo also said, "I will lead ten thousand troops to hide in the mountains. If the Zhao army enters the mountains, I will lead the army to entangle with the Zhao army. After that, set the mountain on fire! "
"It seems that you have adopted this king's plan."
Before he could reply, Jiang Ting's eyes became strange." I thought that you wouldn't use this poisonous plan. "
"You must be joking, King. Destroying the enemy is a good plan." Many generals stood up and bowed.
Jiang Ting smiled and changed the topic. "What should we do after this? "Even if we destroy the Zhao army by setting fire to the mountains, ten thousand of our comrades will be buried in the sea of fire. If this gets out, I'm afraid it will chill the heart of the army."
Hiding the news?
It could not be hidden... Burning the mountain was not something one or two people could do. At least hundreds of people needed to ignite the fire at the same time in order to seal the mountain with the sea of fire, so that the Zhao army could not escape.
As for those hundreds of people, as long as one person leaked the news... it would be the same as spreading the news to the entire army.
Many generals were silent for a while. Lu Yuan said softly, "This general will lead people to lead the fire... After the battle, this general will naturally apologize and be willing to be punished by military law."
Jiang Ting's eyes became strange when he saw this. He was suddenly curious as to how Su Jiu had brainwashed him.
These people had preserved many of their thoughts, but they were also like men of sacrifice, throwing life and death out of their minds.
However... this news could not be leaked.
Even if Su Jiu's brainwashing ability was very strong... However, this was still the era of the Cultivationless Cold Weapon. It was just some brainwashing methods. If the true teachings were spread out, the morale of the army would definitely be unstable.
After all, they could abandon their subordinates as chess pieces. There would be a second time, and there would be countless times.
Human nature was complicated to begin with.
It would be fine if he died in battle, but if he died in the hands of his comrades...
"Burning a mountain?" Chu Bai and Qi Feng were stunned. Suddenly, they thought of something and their faces became overwhelmed with shock.
As if he knew what they were thinking, Jiang Ting looked at everyone and suddenly smiled. "Tell them what I asked you to do at dusk."
"Gulp..."
Chu Bai and Jiang Ting swallowed their saliva first before speaking. "We will go to the Sun Zhenyang Wang Jun Camp and send a message to Ke Yang's ten thousand strong army to set up camp tomorrow and head to the mountain range to hide. If... if the Zhao army enters the mountain, they will fight with the Zhao army for at least two days."
The generals were stunned at first, then their faces were filled with shock.
Xie Hong even stammered, "The Zhenyang King... The army of the Zhenyang King is... the abandoned one?"
What was abandoned? In Jiang Ting's scheme, he needed it. There were people fighting with the Zhao army in the forest, and those who fought with the Zhao army would die along with the fire, along with the Zhao army in the sea of fire.
The corner of Jiang Ting's mouth revealed a playful smile. "If not, would this king really use this king's army as bait?"
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became relaxed.
However, in the next moment, Han Zhuo said with hesitation, "But... but what about the Sun Suppressing King? The Sun Suppressing King sent ten thousand soldiers to guard the Iron Dragon Pass as reinforcements, but we plotted against the ten thousand soldiers and killed them all. Once the Sun Suppressing King finds out, won't he destroy the alliance?"0
