Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

After that, he had said so much to ___, as if he was trying to convince the general to live on. In other words, he wanted to show the world that his killing intent wasn't that strong. At least, he had a high chance of survival for the general!    

After setting up the plan, he walked forward.    

He opened up the distance between them.    

If there were any subordinates who were excited, or if he himself rushed over to save them with the help of his horse, or if he insisted on saving them...    

The horses were galloping, shaking the heavens and the earth!    

The large spear that was originally not stable on the ground would immediately fall down and cut off the neck of the deputy general in an instant!    

If it was broken in half and blood spurted out crazily, it would be even more tragic if the person held his neck and struggled to call for help.    

In this way, they would become the ones who killed the deputy general!    

Although the colonels would die in the end, the difference between dying in Xiao Yun's hands and dying in their hands, be it because of negligence or something else, was like heaven and earth!    

The only thing they could do was to silence Xiao Yun so that no one else would know. However, the strength that Xiao Yun displayed told them all the time, "If I want to leave, I can leave at any time!"    

This time, they were forced into a dead end.    

Even if they returned with a great victory, they would not be able to escape death. Not only would they die, but their families would also be implicated.    

On the contrary, it would be better for them to die together with the colonels.    

He would either fight to the death, or run away, and then hide his identity.    

Other than that, there seemed to be no other way.    

Was it simple? This setup was very simple, even more basic than the most basic trap.    

But it almost succeeded!    

It was precisely because it was simple, so simple that it was arranged in front of everyone, no one would think that it was a huge trap.    

Tuoba Hong's face turned ashen.    

If he was still shocked by Xiao Yun's martial arts before, now he was even more shocked by his resourcefulness.    

This fellow had actually been thinking of taking care of his three thousand cavalry!    

The most terrifying thing was that everything he did was done in a carefree manner. In front of everyone, he had casually set up a huge trap. If one was not careful, it would be hard to guard against it.    

Such an opponent was truly too terrifying.    

He took a deep breath. Finally, he got off his horse as well.    

Because of the shaky spear in front of him, he felt that this horse that had accompanied him for almost ten years was dangerous.    

After hesitating for a while, he still walked in front of Xiao Yun.    

"It's impossible to surrender without putting up a fight!"    

"En." Xiao Yun nodded his head in satisfaction and smiled. "This is the attitude that should be shown during negotiations. There should be a round of negotiation."    

"What do you think we should do?"    

Xiao Yun turned to look at the deputy general and said with a smile, "Why don't you tell me who he is first."    

Tuoba Hong sighed and said, "He is an extremely important person to me. You don't need to know his exact identity."    

"I see."    

Xiao Yun touched his nose.    

Everyone knew how to bargain.    

They were afraid of the consequences, but Xiao Yun was the same.    

There were so many influential people in Qin Country, and Shangguan Qing'er and a few others who were close to him were all his weak points.    

Xiao Yun thought for a moment and said, "Let me make a deduction first. You see if what I said is right or not. If it's not right, just pretend that I didn't say anything. If it's right, let's fight for a win-win situation."    

"A win-win situation?"    

Tuoba Hong frowned.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "You don't need to be so confused. The purpose of many negotiations is not to squeeze one side out of the other. It can also be a win-win situation. Both sides will get some benefits."    

"Hmph." Tuoba Hong sneered.    

"There is a problem with your attitude!" Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said, "That's what I'm thinking. Your Northern Wei has discovered the movement of the Great Qin. Yes! However, the situation was urgent. Hundreds of thousands of troops, millions of troops, and so on... It was easy to say, but how could it be easy to deploy them? North of here, a thousand miles of wilderness! Even if one were to walk, it would cost an unknown amount of supplies and horses. Such a scale of war could only be achieved after decades of accumulation. As for the current North Wei, hehe, it's not that I'm looking down on all of you. It's just that this matter is impossible to begin with."    

He paused for a moment before saying, "I feel that even if all of you send out an army, there has to be a limit to your numbers. I feel that it's fifty thousand, what do you think?"    

The corners of Tuoba Hong's eyes twitched.    

Xiao Yun smiled and continued, "This should be the number of border guards. Let's gather from the nearby cities. It should be about the same, but it's not a simple matter. The cost of defending the city is the cost of marching outside. It could not be mentioned in the same breath. With a temporary deployment, the number was almost the same. As for your three thousand cavalry, they should be well-prepared. It was precisely because of this that the three thousand cavalry were able to travel between the various borders of the prefecture. That's why I sent you here as the vanguard to take a look at the situation in the Great Qin. Is that right? "    

Tuoba Hong lowered his head to hide the shock in his heart.    

Although what Xiao Yun said was not completely correct, it was not much different!    

Before the army and horses moved, grain would be the first to be moved. Anyone could say that, but to use grain to judge the scale and operation of the army was already the capital of a general!    

More importantly, these numbers.    

This was the secret of Northern Wei Country!    

If the enemy knew about this matter and how they deployed and how many soldiers they had, they would be able to break through their weaknesses and defeat them easily.    

But how did Xiao Yun know? Could it be that the border had leaked the information? That was impossible. If the secret was leaked, how could the Great Qin not know about the movements of the North Wei? It was impossible for them to be unprepared now.    

Could it be that this kid had analyzed it? He had guessed it?    

If that was the case...    

Tuoba Hong raised his head and looked at Xiao Yun with a murderous look in his eyes.    

Xiao Yun was a professional when it came to verbal sparring. Naturally, he could understand the look in Xiao Yun's eyes. He curled his lips and sneered. He said, "As a general, there is no color in happiness or anger. Your feelings are written all over your face. How did you climb up to this position? By relying on honesty? "    

Tuoba Hong was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly turned red.    

He was angry.    

Xiao Yun continued to analyze, "So as the vanguard, you guys are only trying to come in and give it a try. If you have the advantage, you can also use the initiative. I'll let you take over a border city first and use it as your base. From there, you can transport grain to gather troops and test it out bit by bit. There will always be a fight. However, I'm afraid that we'll have to fight for a few years. "    

Tuoba Hong took a deep breath and said, "What's the use of saying so much?"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Then let me ask you another question. Is the North Wei Imperial Court incompatible with the civil and military? I heard that the North Wei values civil and military more than military. I believe that this is also the cause of the many problems that have been caused during this expedition, right? "    

"What exactly do you want to say?"    

There was no need for an answer. Tuoba Hong's expression had already given Xiao Yun the answer.    

Xiao Yun nodded his head in satisfaction, then said, "Like I said, how could the entire North Wei be filled with idiots? Indeed, it's because of mutual exploitation and struggles. "    

Tuoba Hong was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.    

" What do you want to say? "    

He had asked this question several times, but this time, he asked it sincerely.    

Xiao Yun said, "The invasion from the south. Three thousand cavalry. They look majestic. Normally, when cavalry went out, they naturally wanted to fight to raise the morale of the army. If we go out for a long distance, we will need two or even three horses per person. What they pursued was mobility. They would plunder wherever they went. But looking at you guys, not to mention going in alone, it would be even more fatal. Right now, the entire northern region was afraid that the people had lost their homes, and their homes were no longer there. You raised war with war? The only thing they could do was eat people! Then how long can he walk? When the Great Qin comes back to their senses and pincers us from all sides, all we need to do is block the border of the Northern Lands. If we surround and block them, you will all die here sooner or later!"    

"This... is impossible!"    

"Hehe, you are sending troops. It seems like you are taking advantage of my illness to take my life. He came with the intention of taking advantage of the situation, but first of all, there was nothing to take advantage of here. Secondly, your army's allocation is not perfect. In my opinion... You guys are more like a bunch of clowns, a suicide squad. Rushing in and causing chaos, but it is of no use at all. No one with a macroscopic vision would come up with such a tactic. "    

" You're talking nonsense! "    

Tuoba Hong roared angrily.    

After that, Xiao Yun glanced at the lieutenant from the corner of his eye, then smiled and said, "Looks like this lieutenant is quite an important person!"    

Tuoba Hong's pupils instantly shrank. He sat there with a shocked expression and was drenched in sweat.
