"Strategist!" A subordinate general rushed into the big tent and hugged his fists with a happy face.

Xu Shu, who was writing something, asked indifferently without raising his head: "Has the enemy retreated?" ”

The general replied: "Retreat!" In this battle, they lost at least 10,000 people! We had no more than 200 dead or wounded! The general's face was full of excitement and some contempt.

Xu Shu wrote down the things in his hand, folded them, put them aside, and smiled without surprise: "Although these tribes are numerous, they are extremely poorly equipped, and although they are also heroic, they cannot be compared with our army after all!" This is not a surprise! ”

The subordinate general nodded approvingly, and eagerly asked for battle: "Military division, it is better to let the last general lead an army to kill it and defeat it in one fell swoop!" ”

Xu Shu smiled, stood up, patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, but shook his head and said: "Although the overall combat power of the other party is not strong, after all, there are 50,000 people, and there are nearly 40,000 after today's loss!" The reason why there is such a huge disparity between the casualties of the enemy and us in this battle is also because our army stands on the advantage of defense, and if we attack, due to the huge disparity in strength, even if our army is strong, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not lose! ”

"So what do we do next?" The ministry general asked.

Xu Shu only said one word, "Wait!" ”

Two more days passed, during which the tribal coalition led by Yi Nan launched another round of offensive, which resulted in another fiasco, and then there were more and more voices in the tribal coalition that questioned Yi Nan, and many clan leaders were privately discussing how to withdraw from this battle that seemed hopeless to them.

"How? What did the patriarch of the eastern part of Yi say? Yi Nan asked with a look of hope in the big tent.

There was a person standing in front of him, this was Yi Nan's cronies who had been sent to the eastern tribe of Yi not long ago, in order to contact the army of the eastern Yi tribe to counterattack the Wei army together.

The cronies said indignantly: "Chief, what the Yidong patriarch said is good, but he just doesn't move!" Leader, I think they just want us to be consumed with the Wei army, and they finally come to clean us up with the Wei people! ”

Yi Nan couldn't help but be surprised. Immediately became furious, kicked over a wooden pier in front of him, and scolded: "What a Muzhu, I worked hard to save him from the Eastern Clan, and he actually gave me a trick!" ”

"Chief, go on like this. I'm afraid that even if we defeat the Wei army, we will eventually be wiped out by them! They have always wanted to destroy us and dominate Yizhou! A general beside Yi Nan said angrily.

Yi Nan snorted coldly and paced back and forth in the big tent, and gradually Yi Nan calmed down, and said hesitantly: "At present, the great enemy is current, we can't rashly fall in the face with Yi Dong, otherwise, it will be the Wei people who will benefit, and we will also be finished!" ”

Several cronies present looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a headache.

That's when it happened. A scout rushed into the big tent in a panic and reported: "Chief, no, a large number of Wei troops have appeared behind us!" ”

Several people present were shocked, and Yi Nan hurriedly walked in front of the scout, grabbed the scout, and shouted with a hideous face: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could there still be Wei troops running to our side? ”

The scout was startled and said urgently, "I'm not talking nonsense!" Indeed it is! ”

Yi Nan threw the scout away. He led a group of cronies and more than 100 soldiers to hurry out of the big tent and came to a higher place in the camp and looked northeast in the direction of the scout's guidance. I couldn't help but be surprised, and saw tens of thousands of Wei troops in black clothes and black armor building camps according to the mountain.

At the same time that Yi Nan was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Wei army, the soldiers of the coalition army who discovered this situation could not help but tremble. The news spread rapidly through the barracks as if it had grown wings.

Yi Nan returned to the big tent, and at this time, another scout rushed in in a hurry.

Yi Nan, who was in a very bad mood, roared angrily: "What happened again? ”

The scout was startled and came to his senses. hurriedly replied: "Chief, it's not good, our tribe has been captured by the Wei army!" ”

Yi Nan only felt a thunderbolt hit his head, and the whole person almost fainted. It was not easy to stabilize his body, and he asked angrily, "What is going on?" ”

The scout hurriedly presented a flying pigeon biography.

Yi Nan snatched the handbook. Glancing at the familiar mark on the outside of the heirloom sleeve, it was a mark known only to the closest ones.

Yi Nan hurriedly opened the book and read it. The whole person's complexion changed suddenly, and he sat back in a daze, and the cronies looked at Yi Nan in their hearts.

"Chief, what happened?" One general couldn't help but ask, and the other generals looked at Yi Nan in a daze.

Yi Nan came back to his senses, and said with trembling lips: "The Wei army has captured us and a neighboring tribe, and all our relatives have fallen into their hands, and this letter is from the Wei people who asked me to come!" ”

The night before the allied army led by Yi Nan arrived here, the Wei army sent a cavalry of 1,000 men around the location of their headquarters, and the day before, they successively captured several tribes, including the Yi Nan tribe.

"Then we have to go back and save them!" One of the generals spoke urgently, and the others echoed in unison.

At this time, Yi Nan had calmed down a little and reassured everyone: "You don't have to worry too much! The Wei didn't want to kill them! ”

"And what exactly do they want to do?" A subordinate general roared angrily.

Subsequently, Yi Nan convened the tribal brains to meet in the big tent, Yi Nan explained the current situation to everyone, and everyone who was already worried was shocked, and the scene became chaotic.

Yi Nan finally quieted everyone down, and said to everyone with some frustration: "The current situation is extremely critical, what do you all think should be done?" ”

The crowd shouted again, saying everything, but most of them demanded that they be returned.

At the moment when everyone was arguing, a small leader hurriedly rushed into the big tent, and the scene was quiet again, staring at the little leader who came in one by one.

The little leader couldn't help but feel the strangeness of the atmosphere and couldn't help but get nervous.

"Chief, the envoy of the Wei army asks to see you!" The small boss reported.

A look of surprise flashed across everyone's faces, and then they turned their heads to look at Yi Nan.

Yi Nan came back to his senses and quickly stood up, "Quick, please!" ”

Early the next morning, Yi Nan led a group of tribal leaders, escorted by more than 100 personal soldiers, to meet Xu Shu between the two camps.

The apprehensive Yi Nan and the others thought that the other party would give them a dismount, but they didn't want the other party to be very kind.

"Master Xu, we are willing to surrender to Great Wei, but Great Wei is the first to look forward!" Yi Nan said to Xu Shu on behalf of everyone with a sincere face.

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Our Great Wei will never treat those who are loyal to our Great Wei!" There are many foreign soldiers in my Great Wei army, and now they are all loyal and brave warriors of my Great Wei! ”

Hearing Xu Shu say this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. (To be continued.) )
