Chapter 849

On the tower of the city.

Zhang Xiu is now sitting on the upper floor of the city of chanxian, living in a room in the city. On the one hand, he arranged for the royal guards to inquire about King mulu and the southern barbarians, on the other hand, he was here.

One day later, the county returned to calm.

The night was deep.

The cool moonlight came down, making the night of the whole county hazy.

When Zhang Xiuzheng was reading, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

Zhang Xiu said, "come in!"

Creak!

The door was pushed open, but Wang entered in a hurry, with a dignified look on his face.

Zhang Xiu looked up to see Wang Yue and asked, "but what's the latest news?"

Wang Yue solemnly said: "during the day today, our spies around the county found that the southern barbarian soldiers were searching for people everywhere. According to the rough statistics of the Sentinels lurking outside the Nanman camp, today's Nanman soldiers have arrested about 100 people. "

"Son of a bitch!"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu yelled.

Wang Yue sighed in his heart and continued: "nowadays, there are still many Nanman soldiers who have not returned to the camp and have a rest outside. According to the sentry's speculation, these people may continue to capture the people in the county after a night's rest. "

Zhang Xiu's face changed again and again, showing a sense of desperation and coldness.

As soon as he heard Wang Yue's report, he thought that Meng mastiff was ready to use the people to threaten. Once Meng mastiff with countless people came to the outside of the county, at that time, what should Zhang Xiu do?

On the one hand, it is the innocent people in the county, on the other hand, it is the overall situation of the battlefield.

It's a dilemma.

Zhang Xiu made use of the hostage threat several times. She knew that in the current situation, once threatened, the consequences would be extremely serious. This is an unbearable result.

Zhang Xiu inquired: "now, only a hundred people have been arrested?"

"Yes

Wang Yue nodded and answered.

Zhang xiudao said: "the previous plan was to defeat the southern barbarians, recruit them, and then take them back for their own use. After all, the southern barbarians are not like the foreigners like Wuhuan, Hun and Xianbei. Now, it seems that Nanmeng mastiff is the real man. In that case, there is no need to worry about destroying them directly. "

"Somebody

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

In an instant, soldiers came in and saluted respectfully.

Zhang Xiu said, "send someone to inform Sima Yi, Pang Tong and Zhang song to discuss the matter."

"Here it is

The soldier went to inform immediately.

After a while, Sima Yi, Pang Tong and Zhang Song entered the room together.

Zhang Xiu did not beat around the Bush, directly said the current situation, and finally said: "Meng mastiff mobilized Nanman soldiers to search and arrest the people in the territory of the county, and put the people in custody."

"In Wang's opinion, Meng mastiff's intention is to drive out the common people as a protective umbrella while preparing for the attack. Or, they use the people to coerce the king. Once this happens, it will be quite dangerous. "

Zhang Xiu said: "so Wang decided to send troops tonight to break the camp of the southern barbarians."

Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "when I was a student, I heard that some of the southern barbarians could drive beasts. Today, some of the southern barbarians shook their bells, blew their whistles and controlled the tigers to rush out. So I'm afraid that as soon as we get close to the camp of the southern barbarians, it's night again, and the king of wood deer drives the beast, which will have a huge impact on us. "

Zhang Xiu shook her head and confidently said, "I've been on guard for this. I've known for a long time that some of the southern barbarians drive beasts. Along the way, I asked Hu Mo to arrange for people to prepare sulfur powder, realgar wine, and ground garlic to soak in water. These scattered outside the camp of the southern barbarians are enough to disperse poisonous snakes and the like. "

After a pause, Zhang Xiu said, "Zhang song!"

"I'm in a humble position!"

Zhang Song answered immediately.

Zhang Xiu said, "go to Zhang Ren and ask him to lead the soldiers to the warehouse to get the prepared sulfur and realgar wine. Together with Zhang Ren's loyal army, you quietly rush to the camp of the southern barbarians and stay outside the camp. "

After a pause, Zhang Xiu said: "where the army is stationed, sprinkle sulfur powder, pour realgar wine, etc., in order to avoid poisonous snakes running around. You lie in ambush outside the camp, ready to attack the southerners who escape from the camp. "

"Here!"

Zhang Song immediately threw his fist.

Zhang Xiu said, "Sima Yi!"

"Yes

Sima Yi immediately stood up and bowed.

Zhang Xiu said: "you go to see Hu Mo and ask him to arrange the soldiers of the flying eagle camp to prepare for the attack. As long as the flying eagle camp is over the southern barbarians, it will project a fire pot and ignite the entire southern barbarian camp. "

"Here it is

Sima Yi immediately responded.

For this war, Sima Yi did not find it difficult. The only worry is that the southern barbarians have some unknown means. Besides, they are easy to escape into the mountains and not easy to catch up.

Zhang Xiu finally said, "Pang Tong!""I'm in a humble position!"

Pang Tong also stood up.

Zhang Xiu said: "you go to find Zhang Ya and ask him to dispatch his troops to bypass the camp of the southern barbarians and go to the retreat road behind the southern barbarians to ambush and cut off the retreat road of the southern barbarians. This time, I will destroy all the southern barbarians. If they dare to arrest our Han people, they must be ready to be slaughtered. "

Originally, Zhang Xiu's plan was to recruit Southern barbarians.

It's all population, after all.

Having population means increasing strength. But in the current situation, Meng mastiff wanted to capture ordinary people. Such a move is equivalent to touching the scale of Zhang Xiu.

It is a tacit rule of the armed forces that the two armies fight and do not kill envoys.

It is also the most basic moral principle for the two armies to fight without harming innocent people. Once the war has begun, people can be plundered as a threat, and people can be slaughtered at will. It is not a war, but an unbridled killing.

This is Zhang Xiu's most irritated.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu did not hesitate to order the destruction of the whole Nanman.

The whole army, move quickly.

After Zhang haodang and Zhang haoxiu go to the south of the county, they leave the camp.

It was a smooth journey.

In fact, even if Zhang Xiu was ambushed, he was not afraid. In the current situation, if the southern barbarians fight him head-on and don't take other measures, Zhang Xiu will definitely win.

During the day, if you don't consider the means of King mulu, Zhang Xiu will kill directly. The news that the army was sent out was found by the sentry of the southern barbarians, and then the sentry left quickly.

But the sentinel saw that after Zhang Xiu's army left, all the bees left. This situation led them to only see Zhang Ren's army leave, but they didn't notice that Zhang Yan's army also quietly left the county soon after.

What's more, in the end, the soldiers of Feiying camp, led by Hu Mo, took off slowly in a hot-air balloon and began to go to the camp of the southern barbarians.

In the camp of the southern barbarians.

When the sentinel sent back the news, Meng mastiff was overjoyed. He immediately arranged for people to call King mulu, King dorsi, and Wu Tugu.

When the crowd gathered, Meng mastiff looked very excited and said, "I just got the news that the army led by Zhang Xiu has quietly come to the camp. Zhang Xiu came to attack at night. This is our chance to deal with Zhang Xiu. In the evening, the poisonous snakes under the command of mulu are the most effective

Mu Lu said with a smile: "yes, during the day, Zhang Xiu killed my beast. Tonight, I will make Zhang Xiu pay the price and regret her actions during the day. "

His face was full of smiles.

He thinks tonight is the night to win.

After all, it's dark at night, and I can't see it clearly in many places. But the snake under his command can quickly shuttle on the ground and attack Zhang Xiu's soldiers.
