"I'd like to teleport my troops directly to the tent of the cavalry general. Is that okay?" Ouyang Shuo used the military token to make his first request to the Provision Officer.
"..."
The provisions officer was slightly speechless towards Ouyang Shuo's exorbitant demands. He didn't expect that the Marquis opposite him, who had a high status, was even more shameless than him.
"Those who achieve great things don't care about trifles?"
The officer cursed in his heart and replied stiffly, "You must be joking, Marquis!"
"Can't I?" Ouyang Shuo was a little disappointed and said, "Alright, I'll take a step back. Can you revive all the Divine Martial Guards that died in battle?"
For Ouyang Shuo, the three thousand Divine Martial Guards were the biggest trump card of this battle. If the Divine Martial Guards could be restored to full strength, it would be of great help to him to implement the strategy of "using war to nurture war".
The first request was just Ouyang Shuo's joke.
The second request was his real goal.
After asking the question, Ouyang Shuo looked nervously at the grain officer opposite him.
The officer hesitated, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. After keeping Ouyang Shuo in suspense, he said unhurriedly, "Sure."
"Phew ~ ~ ~"
Ouyang Shuo let out a long sigh of relief and cursed in his heart, "Damn you."
He even suspected that the officer was purposely making fun of him.
Ouyang Shuo's heart moved when he saw the Provision Officer looking at the token in his hand fervently. He gripped the token tightly and said, "Can I make a small request?"
"You can only make one request with one token," the grain officer answered without hesitation.
"Then forget it. The previous request is invalid."
Ouyang Shuo said and was about to put the token into his interspatial pouch. He was certain that the other party was determined to obtain the token and wouldn't give up so easily since they had rushed over in the middle of the night.
As expected, a bitter smile flashed across the grain officer's face. He said in a hoarse voice, "Marquis, please do not make things difficult for me. How about this, Marquis, please tell me what your request is. I will see if I can help."
"Straightforward!" Ouyang Shuo said with a smile. "I want anything from the White Cavalry General."
Ouyang Shuo's request was rather strange, and it caught the grain officer somewhat unprepared. To him, it wasn't a difficult task.
As a special NPC, the scope of his abilities was not something players could fathom.
However, he could not break the rules set by Gaia, nor did he dare to break them.
"How about this? Lord Marquis, please hand over the remaining fifty battle resource points. This lowly one will comply with your request. How about it?" The ration officer said politely.
"Deal!"
Ouyang Shuo naturally knew when to stop.
"The Marquis is wise!"
The transaction went smoothly, and the grain officer was extremely excited. His fat belly bounced up and down.
The two old foxes chuckled, feeling that they had gained a great advantage.
The Rations Officer bade farewell and left. Ouyang Shuo held a pair of socks in his hand. It was what the White Cavalry General, Huo Qubing, had used to replace it.
Even though Huo Qubing was a General of Light Cavalry and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the smell of his socks was unspeakable. Ouyang Shuo even suspected that the goddamn grain officer didn't forget to play a trick on him in the end.
Who would have thought that it would be a lucky hit?
With a smile on his face, Ouyang Shuo yelled at the tent, "Little White, come out!"
"Howl ~ ~ ~"
Little White walked out reluctantly. Its injuries had already healed.
Ouyang Shuo handed Huo Qubing's smelly socks to Little White. "Smell it. Can you track it?"
"Howl ~ ~ ~"
Little White sniffed and rolled its eyes in a very human-like manner.
A wolf's nose was much more sensitive than a human's. An ordinary wolf or dog's sense of smell was more than forty times that of a human's. A spirit beast like Little White's sense of smell was a million times stronger than that of a human's.
That's right, it was a million times stronger than a human's.
Therefore, the socks were only smelly to Ouyang Shuo's nose, but to Little White, it was unbearably smelly. It almost fainted from the smell.
Even the genius general of his generation, Huo Qubing, had a time when he was despised.
"Can you track it?" Ouyang Shuo asked again.
"Howl ~ ~"
Little White raised its head proudly.
"I'll leave it to you tomorrow, buddy!"
Ouyang Shuo seemed to understand Little White's meaning. He smiled and patted its head.
"Howl ~ ~ Howl ~ ~"
Little White nodded and rubbed against Ouyang Shuo before returning to the tent proudly.
"Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing, you can't run away this time!"
Ouyang Shuo raised his head and looked at the horizon in the distance. He smiled.
The next morning, the army set off again.
The Divine Martial Guards who had died in battle had all been resurrected. Both the Divine Martial Guards and the surrendered Xiong Nu soldiers turned a blind eye to this strange phenomenon.
Ordinary people could not fathom the greatness of God Gaia.
After a round of selection, only five hundred surrendered Xiong Nu soldiers were able to travel with the army.
The rest were naturally left in the camp.
Fortunately, this was the territory of the Xiong Nu, so their lives were not in danger. As for the contribution points, it was not enough for Ouyang Shuo to go back on his promise.
After they set off, Little White walked at the front of the army.
With Little White's sense of smell, even if Huo Qubing was a thousand miles away, he would not be able to escape from Little White's tracking.
This time, the army was not walking blindly. They were moving forward with a destination in mind. Even without the "Exquisite Military Map", the Divine Martial Guards could accurately locate the Han army.
Along the way, from time to time, they would encounter defeated Xiong Nu cavalry from the frontline.
Huo Qubing's fame often rang in Ouyang Shuo's ears through the cavalry's songs. It made him yearn for the Divine General that he had never met before. It made him even more determined to recruit Huo Qubing.
The three thousand Divine Martial Guards were fully restored.
Ouyang Shuo himself had completely eliminated the side effects of the [Bloodthirst Talisman].
There was no reason to be polite to these Xiong Nu cavalry. There was only one word: kill!
As long as the enemy was less than ten thousand, they would not be a match for the Divine Martial Guards.
As they swept through the army, Ouyang Shuo's contribution points kept increasing. Two days after they set off, his contribution points had already exceeded the hundred thousand mark. Moreover, it was still increasing rapidly.
The Xiong Nu soldiers in the army were also changed batch after batch.
With the strength of the Divine Martial Guards, it was not difficult for them to control three thousand Xiong Nu soldiers.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had to choose a group of elites from the surrendered soldiers to join the camp of the surrendered soldiers. And in every battle, it was these surrendered soldiers who charged at the front.
Once the surrendered soldiers were injured, they would immediately be replenished.
Zhao Kuo's suggestion of using war to nurture war was carried out very well.
The effect was also very obvious.
Towards the end, the Divine Martial Guards did not even need to personally go into battle. Ordinary battles could be settled by the surrendered soldiers.
As a result, the Divine Martial Guards gradually became a strategic deterrent force.
Ouyang Shuo was using the Xiong Nu soldiers to kill the Xiong Nu cavalry to earn contribution points.
This method was indeed very satisfying.
As a result, the losses of the Divine Martial Guards were greatly reduced. After more than ten battles, the total losses of the Divine Martial Guards were less than five hundred people.
If Huo Qubing's troops were the nightmare of the Xiong Nu tribes, then the army of Shanhai City that followed closely behind them was the lingering nightmare of the defeated soldiers.
The army of Shanhai City was like a bulldozer that wreaked havoc on the Great Plains.
In an instant, the valiant Xiong Nu tribes were like sick cats.
Towards the end, it seemed to have become a habit. Under the command of the Divine Martial Guards, the surrendered Xiong Nu soldiers killed their own kind in exchange for a chance to survive.
Ouyang Shuo even made an empty promise that he would record the surrendered Xiong Nu soldiers who fought well and performed meritorious deeds. He would then report it to the cavalry general and request for them to be rewarded.
As a result, the surrendered Xiong Nu soldiers became even more motivated.
Ouyang Shuo successfully replicated Huo Qubing's tactics on the Great Plains.
Of course, Ouyang Shuo did not get carried away even though the battle was going smoothly. He did not forget that the main purpose of this trip was to catch up to Huo Qubing's troops.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo avoided unnecessary battles in the later stages of the war.
The cavalry advanced like a hurricane and chased after the main force of the Han army led by Huo Qubing.
According to Little White, the distance between the two sides was gradually shortening. If everything went smoothly, they would catch up to Huo Qubing's troops in four days.
Ouyang Shuo was invigorated when he heard that.
"Am I finally going to meet that legendary general?"
Among the good news, there was also something that worried Ouyang Shuo.
The day before yesterday, Ouyang Shuo led his troops to the previously agreed rendezvous point. When he arrived there, he did not see the figures of Lingxi City and Longxun City.
Because of this, Ouyang Shuo rested here for a whole day. He even sent out scouts to investigate in all directions, but they did not see any signs of them.
Helpless, Ouyang Shuo could only arrange for ten Divine Martial Guards to wait here.
The main force set off again.
The two sides communicated with each other through hummingbirds.
This battle was a race.
Ouyang Shuo could not delay for too long just to wait for his allies. He did not know what difficulties Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong had encountered.
The next day, another interesting thing happened.
The scouts that were sent out did not find the allies, but they unexpectedly found traces of Di Chen's troops.
When Ouyang Shuo received the news, he made a prompt decision to give Di Chen a big gift.
As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate.
Since the Yan Huang Alliance was able to ambush him, then Ouyang Shuo would naturally be able to do the exact opposite.
Right now, the army of Shanhai City was at its peak.
With the help of the Xiong Nu soldiers, even if Di Chen's troops were unharmed, they would still be defeated.
Needless to say, Ouyang Shuo brought Huyan Qiu with him.
This guide was not overshadowed by Little White's existence. Without Huyan Qiu's translation, Shanhai City would not be able to obtain any information from the Xiong Nu soldiers.
As for recruiting the soldiers, it was even more impossible.
