1192 Selfishness
Although Kusao left the boundaries of Tokyo, he still didn't dare to be careless, and he was cautious when he marched, and he was also quite concerned about Tokyo after leaving. It wasn't until Kusuo learned that the emperor had also left the castle safely that he breathed a sigh of relief and began to urge the army to hurry up.
What Kusuo didn't know was that when he didn't pay attention to the emperor anymore, he was already in great trouble. The Dongjiang Army arrived in Tokyo two days earlier than the emperor had expected.
This also means that less than a day after the emperor left the city, the vanguard of the Dongjiang Army had already arrived. For this reason, the emperor began to worry again.
It was still the fat man who advised him: "Emperor, the matter has come to this point, and it is unnecessary to worry. Why don't we speed up and leave, as long as we stay away from this place of right and wrong, won't we be allowed to fly the day after tomorrow? ”
Although the emperor felt justified, his heart could not be calmed. The vanguard of the Dongjiang Army arrived at the city of Tokyo, which brought him great shock and pressure.
"Strategist, don't you think that the Dongjiang Army will immediately come after us? After all, our exit from the city this time was too smooth, and it was a little too smooth, as if the Dongjiang Army was deliberately letting us out of the city safely. The Emperor stopped his horse and said with a worried look on his face.
The military advisor frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "I can't rule out this possibility, but we have no way back. Emperor, now is not the time to worry, the time to come will come, and we can't hide if we want to. Therefore, it is better for us to concentrate on hurrying for now, and if we continue to delay like this, it will only make it easier for the Dongjiang Army to catch up with us. ”
Seeing that persuasion had no effect, the military advisor simply used the method of threatening. Not to mention, in this way, the emperor was enlightened, and without saying a word, he immediately gave the order to hurry up the whole army.
Unbeknownst to the Emperor, a hot air balloon was staring at them above the clouds high above them. The secret guards who followed them had already sent their whereabouts to Chen Jisheng in the city of Tokyo in pigeons.
The pioneer battalion only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, but it is definitely the elite soldiers in the Dongjiang Army. There are also the war horses that were captured from the Japanese Kou last time, and the Dongjiang Army already has nearly 10,000 war horses at their disposal.
The 3,000 soldiers and horses of the pioneer battalion have all been equipped with war horses and have become cavalry battalions. This is because Mao Wenlong took into account the mobility of the pioneer battalion, so he matched the pioneer battalion with war horses.
After Chen Jisheng received the news of the whereabouts of the Japanese army, he was immediately overjoyed, and he drank 3,000 troops to prepare to start pursuing the Japanese army. Last time, it was to pursue the Japanese army, and the vanguard battalion was almost wiped out. Chen Jisheng has never forgotten this revenge, he will kill all the widows and avenge the big tiger who died in battle.
After the 3,000 pioneer battalion was slightly reorganized, it immediately set out to chase after the Japanese army. Chen Jisheng dared to do this, and it was also with Mao Wenlong's consent, otherwise he would not dare to rashly pursue the Japanese army.
The 3,000 cavalry of the vanguard battalion wanted to chase and kill the 30,000 Japanese soldiers, which was obviously inappropriate, but Chen Jisheng actually just followed up, not really wanted to fight the Japanese invaders.
The mobility of the cavalry was good, and it took a day to catch up with the Japanese army. Chen Jisheng didn't dare to act rashly, he kept following the Japanese army, and then looked for any opportunity to sneak attack.
The Japanese army was still very vigilant in its march, and the emperor did not dare to be sloppy. He had already learned the power of the Dongjiang Army before, and if he didn't have a long memory now, then he would just be a stupid person.
Four days passed, and the emperor did not wait for the pursuit of the Dongjiang army, and the nerves that had been tense were finally relaxed a little. And the four-day rapid march is finally about to catch up with the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Caoxiong in front.
As long as the two armies converged and there were 60,000 soldiers and horses, the emperor would no longer be afraid of the pursuit of the Dongjiang army, and his safety would be guaranteed.
"Strategist, is there any news from the grass in front of you?" Although the emperor's heart was a little more relaxed, he couldn't help but ask Kusuo about their news again.
"It hasn't been delivered yet, but it's not hard to know from yesterday's news that we just need to continue on our journey tonight, and we can join up with the grass and the others tomorrow." The military advisor said indifferently.
The emperor's nervousness can easily affect the military spirit of the already frightened bird, but he is not easy to preach.
Nodding, the emperor was a little more relieved.
At this moment, a fast horse suddenly galloped in front of the army, and the emperor looked up and saw a fast horse coming straight towards him.
"Report, there are traces of the Dongjiang Army ahead!" The messenger shouted directly.
"What, the Dongjiang Army is coming......" The emperor suddenly realized that his performance was inappropriate, and his exclamation stopped abruptly.
"Have you found how many soldiers and horses are coming from the Dongjiang Army?" The military advisor did not wait for the emperor to ask, so he asked in a cold voice first.
"I don't know yet, I only saw the Dongjiang Army's scouts staring in front of our army, and I didn't see a large army of the Dongjiang Army appearing." The messenger responds quickly.
When the military advisor heard this, he waved the messenger back, and then said: "Emperor, it seems that the Dongjiang Army should make some moves tonight, we can't march again tonight, we must be stationed and take all precautions." ”
The Emperor immediately frowned, he really didn't want to stop, if he could, he preferred to continue the march directly. Then, after the convergence of the grass and the male, there was no longer any need to fear any pursuit of the Dongjiang army.
After some deep thought, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Strategist, if you don't stay behind with half of your soldiers and horses after nightfall, you will deal with the pursuers of the Dongjiang Army. And the emperor rushed to join the grass and the male with the remaining half of the soldiers and horses, and the military division only needed to hold out for two days, and then the emperor could bring troops to rescue you. ”
A trace of disappointment quickly flashed in the military advisor's eyes, as a person close to the emperor, he naturally understood the other meaning of the emperor's words. It's just that he just wants him to stay and die, and it's just a matter of sending him to death or breaking off, but the emperor actually wants to take half of the soldiers and horses. This is completely regardless of his life and death, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die.
But this is on the premise of voluntariness, and he is not willing at all in such a situation as the military advisor is now. But he is the emperor, he is just a military advisor, no matter how unwilling he is in his heart, he can only obey orders.
"Yes, Emperor!" The military advisor hesitated for a while, but finally agreed happily.
The Emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was indeed a little embarrassed to say such a thing. Compared with his own life, this little thing on the face is not enough to worry about!
