Chapter 373 This is a misunderstanding
Liu Yu's desire to return became more and more urgent. After walking along the way, Liu Yu's original desire to win became a little confused.
In fact, the Tubo people invaded the Shunchao border just to take advantage of the situation. The conflict between Tubo and Loulan is not suitable for Shunchao to be involved in the current conflict.
If you win this and that, in the end, the world will be invincible to occupy the entire earth?
The Westerners have already begun a great voyage, and their fleets will travel everywhere in the sea. Even in the Western Regions, they will extend their trade. Liu Yu thought about it and suddenly felt very tired. At this time, a heavy rain on the grassland came unexpectedly.
This is the worst marching conditions that Liu Yu has encountered since he led his troops. The rain seemed to be pouring water, and the ground went from mud to no marching at all. Liu Yu knew that mud was easily formed in places with soft mud on the grassland, just like bottomless pits, and it was impossible for horses and people to come out again if they were trapped in.
"Let's rest for now." After passing by a high terrain, Liu Yu ordered.
It was less than a day since he set out, and he had not walked far along the way. Liu Yu looked at the dark sky, which was breathless, wondering if the front and rear troops would lose their composure. When Shunchao went to fight against the Turks, Min Shaoqing's strategy of division of troops was also a sudden loss. The water accumulation on the ground was heavy, and no one knew where it would be a quagmire, or that it was all quagmire, a country of marsh.
"General, you can't leave." Zhang Wuzhu glanced at Liu Yu's side, and was also anxiously shaking. "It seems like a vast ocean in front of me, and I don't know when the rain will stop."
Liu Yu nodded, and he thought for a while. There were about 1,000 troops and horses starting first, which looked more than 100 miles away from the central army. Because the pioneer vanguard army was marching urgently, the weather affected them would be less affected.
Liu Yu poked the cleavage shoulder with his hand and asked, "When will your Loulan soldiers catch up?"
Chetu hesitated and said, "This section of the road is too flat. If there is heavy rain in the rainy season, the road cannot be carried out. I am afraid that it will have to wait until the rain stops."
Liu Yu looked at the dead tree stumps on the roadside and asked, "There should be all trees here, but unfortunately you Loulan people cut down almost the same amount of water. If you can't store water, you will probably destroy yourself in a few years."
Qi Tu's face was puzzled. What Liu Yu said was as obscure as a book of heaven to her.
"Is there a tree? Is there such a big difference?" Che Tu asked.
Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said nothing. He couldn't explain some things clearly. He was covered in water. Before the tent was set up, he had already gotten into the tent. Although it was a little leaking, he finally had a warm atmosphere in the tent.
The climate is wet and cannot catch fire. Soldiers can only eat dry food and meat, and a bunch of people are crowded in tents to keep warm. On rainy days, Liu Yu also has to go to each tent to inspect the situation. This is a marshal's most basic concern for the soldiers. Fortunately, most of the new troops are from poor people. They are not as pretentious as rich families, and can be calm when they encounter bad climates. When they see the commander checking the camp, the soldiers greeted each other and laughed.
The rain stopped until midnight, and Liu Yu woke up. It was already bright moon outside. Under the bright moon, the grassland in front of him seemed like a lake, and the water sparkled with a charming and terrifying feeling. The high terrain of the garrison was like an isolated island in the lake. The soldiers in charge of the night watch were exploring the depth of the water below. Although the water accumulation was not too deep, it was very dangerous to march under such conditions.
"Let's stop for a day, wait until the water fades!" Liu Yu gave the order again, "Have a meeting! Be cheered up and don't be like a dead mother!"
The military meeting was held overnight, mainly to convey Liu Yu's orders. The entire army should stay and stationed, and sentries should travel in groups when traveling. If an accident occurs, they should support each other. After receiving this news, Chetu seemed very calm. However, when facing Liu Yu, she sighed: "The sky is dead, Loulan."
Liu Yu thought to himself that this stubborn woman had figured out the impact of the damage to the natural environment on her country? After asking, I realized that it was Qi Tu who thought that this time, the lost land that could not be rescued by Loulan might be attacked by Tubo, and the people of Shunchao would also fail together.
"Miss Chetu, why bother to worry so much? We can't move forward, can the Tubo people come here? It seems that they are all infantrymen, and infantry wading through the water is really interesting, unless they are swimming." Liu Yu said with a smile.
"Is it ridiculous?" Qi Tu said in a bad tone, "Don't you worry about the men you sent out first? After passing this low-lying land, they will definitely be trapped by the Tubo people. How many of them can fight against the Tubo people? Maybe now, they are being besieged and waiting for your rescue."
Liu Yu originally thought that the slash was really calm, but now it seems that he was trying to take a different way to make him risk marching.
"I said Miss Chetu, you look down on our cavalry in Shunchao too much, or you look down on the Tubo people too much. With such heavy rain, even if they besieged our vanguard army, who will suffer in the end!"
Originally, Liu Yu wanted to start the march after the water was slightly fading. Since Qi Tu was so anxious, Liu Yu was even more calm. Now it was just a matter of discussing the details of the "alliance". The army was out, and Shunchao also fulfilled his promise when borrowing grain. Now it was because of the weather. If the army was blocked, it would not be better to negotiate with the Loulan envoy at this time. Liu Yu felt that he was losing money.
After all, it is a grassland, and the soil layer is very thin. The water quickly seeps into the soil or flows along the low-lying areas. The entire grassland shows mottled trenches and ravines. It looks like wrinkles on the earth. Liu Yu easily asked the soldiers to dig trenches, which is equivalent to practicing how to quickly face the enemy on the grassland and treat marching as training.
Liu Yu was not in a hurry, and he was very anxious about the cuts.
"Didn't you say you're going to take a day off? You haven't set off yet?" Che asked Liu Yu.
Liu Yu looked up at the sky. It was sunny and bright. If you want to say that the climate on the grassland is also changing, it is difficult to find a cloud in the sky if the rain stops.
"Miss Chetu, why are you anxious? Look, your Loulan soldiers didn't follow you. It was agreed that the coalition forces would set out and that you will always give you Loulan people a chance to save their homes."
Liu Yu's words made Qi feel angry. Is this what a commander said?
So Chetu went directly to Zhang Wuzhu, and she felt that letting Zhang Wuzhu lead his troops to set off was also effective.
"We are here, the commander has the final say!"
After returning, she had to put down her figure and go to see Liu Yu. Her biggest purpose now is to force this guy to send troops, regardless of means.
"Your vanguard army is probably wiped out now!" Qi Tu said alarmistly.
"Is that true? If the entire army is wiped out, how could the remaining soldiers escape? Look, there are not a single remaining soldiers now. Maybe there is no soldiers in front of you. Please wait patiently."
Then Qi Tu remembered a key point. When Liu Yurangshun set out towards the vanguard army, he said he was going to the "three-point position". Where are these three-point positions? Maybe this hateful man did not let his troops go to the front line at all, but found a place to station him so that he could wait for the Loulan army to take the lead.
"Pity that we Loulan people trust you so much, you actually play with us!" Thinking of this, Ji Tu said nothing and did not give Liu Yu a chance to explain, tears immediately flowed out, "You demon who is in the court, just wait for retribution!"
After saying that, Qi suddenly left the central army tent in anger, letting Liu Yu sit there and think for a long time, but he was still confused.
"Where did I offend her? She reacted so much? Isn't it just that it rained a little and I'll take a break on the road?"
Liu Yu felt guilty and thought he wanted to explain to this Fanbang woman who was strong on the outside but actually weak on the inside. However, outside the tent of Chetu, he was stopped by a few followers who Chetu had only taken.
"Get out of the way!" Liu Yu was very angry when he saw these Loulan people blocking the road. This was the military camp of Shunchao, and there was still a place where the commander could not go?
The Loulan envoy's follower could not understand Liu Yu's words, and just blocked the door. Liu Yu immediately pulled out the short gun into his arms. As soon as the short gun was taken out, the Loulan people thought that Liu Yu was going to use the magic trick, so they hurriedly fled to the side. Liu Yu directly entered the tent of the tent. At this time, the tent was sitting on a blanket on the floor with his back facing Liu Yu, as if wiping tears.
"Miss Chetu, can we say something well?" Liu Yu walked forward, Chetu ignored him and sat with his back to him.
"What else do you want to say?" Qi Tuyu said with a sob, "I kidnapped you to Loulan. You have to take revenge, even if the revenge is on me. The Loulan people destroyed the country, and we Loulan people cannot make a revenge. You just borrowed the way of our Loulan people, and if you borrow some food, you will not make a sacrifice for us."
Liu Yuxin said that this was just an angry thing. If she really didn't care, could she hide in the tent and cry secretly? She could force a strong Loulan national teacher to cry. Liu Yuxin said that her level of bullying women was one step further.
"I didn't say I couldn't send troops."
"Then you come out!" Chetto turned his head, his eyes were red, and I looked pitiful. She was really different from the strong woman Liu Yu remembered.
"This is not over."
Chettu thought Liu Yu was using her for fun again, and said with an angry look on his face: "So you stop the troops here and wait for us Loulan people to go up and die by themselves?"
Liu Yu knew that he couldn't explain it clearly to this woman, so he had no reason to explain it to her. Some things were the Qing Dynasty who came from the Qing Dynasty. In fact, Liu Yu had already transferred other troops besides the central army to the past, and now there were only more than 1,000 central army. In other words, there were 2,000 cavalrymen who had passed through this low-lying area before the heavy rain.
Liu Yu did not want to use his fast march to cause uneasiness among the Loulan people. After all, the speed of his army's marching speed is not a joke. It is a piece of cake to travel 600 miles a day. Liu Yu didn't want to be so tired, so he found an excuse to stay in the central army to rest, while walking slowly, and lay out the ground for the previous battlefield. This made Qibun, who was in the central army, think that he did nothing.
