Chapter 78: Enlightenment
During the reign of Mingchuan Jiayu, the failure of diplomacy with Zhou De angered Emperor Zhou De, which directly led to a further rupture of relations between the two sides in that era when the imperial power led the society.
According to historical records, the two sides stationed hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border at that time, and a war broke out in the 11th year of Jiayu.
I don't know how many wars this is between the two sides.
The battle lasted for two emperors until decades later, when Emperor Youren of the Mingchuan Dynasty ascended to the throne. He actively reformed politically, recruited good generals in the military, and vigorously supported shamanic forces, and the Mingchuan Dynasty finally gained the upper hand in the war. Emperor Youren was not happy with the continuation of the war, so by the end of the war, the scale of the war between the two sides had become small, and the divergence of interests was put on the negotiating table.
In the seventh year of Youren, Mingchuan Zhenbei Hou was found to be secretly colluding with the Zhou De Khanate, and as a last resort, he had to flee to Zhou De with his family across the border.
On the one hand, Zhou De ordered the army of Nantianguan to advance to the Mingchuan border to put pressure on the Mingchuan border, and on the other hand, he sent a hussar brigade to sneak into the territory of Mingchuan to meet the Zhenbei Hou.
And these are all pretenses, in fact, Zhou De's side has already sent people to secretly defend it, inquired about the military deployment on the Mingchuan border and the direction of the roundup of Zhenbeihou, and sent a message that Zhenbeihou was smuggled out of the desert of Crescent Pass in the west, which can be described as deliberate.
At that time, the Mingchuan Dynasty only had a thousand soldiers and horses at the Crescent Pass, but there was a young general who had already made a name for himself on the border-
Li Jing!
And Zhou De's side also sent a tiger general to lead more than a dozen personal guards to secretly cross the border to meet the north of the town. This tiger general is also quite famous, he once led tens of thousands of hussars to attack the Mingchuan army and returned with a great victory, which can be regarded as brave.
Eagle Song Mountainββ
It's one of the few oases in the desert where merchants stop for supplies.
Zou Ci rode a huge horse-like camel beast, wrapped in a yellow cloak, his ears and nose were wrapped in gauze, and his eyes involuntarily narrowed to avoid the wind and sand. He was accompanied by a dozen riders, all dressed in similar costumes, leaving a series of huge footprints in the desert, but in the blink of an eye, they were annihilated in the wind and sand.
It's hard to go against the wind.
Such a team was very conspicuous in the desert, because the group of people was not carrying goods, not wrapped in leather jackets, and third did not reveal their identities, and it was obvious that they were neither ordinary merchants nor desert dwellers, nor even patrol officers.
And their seemingly loose yellow cloak occasionally reveals fine armor, and the weapon is extremely abrupt on the camel beast, and the fierce temperament cannot be hidden, if the past merchants encounter them, it is estimated that they will immediately choose to stay away.
"General, there is Eagle Singing Mountain in front of you!"
"Well, if nothing else, Zhong Zang's family should have arrived a long time ago, let's go around. Zou Ci said.
"But we're running out of water and food, and we don't know if they're going to have enough supplies with them. Otherwise, we won't be comfortable on the way back!"
"Then send someone to the oasis to replenish supplies, and the others will go to the eastern part of Yingming Mountain with me to pick up Zhong Zang!" Zou Ci frowned, he was tall, and his voice was also very loud, quite a bit of a taste of not being angry and arrogant, "Although the intelligence shows that there is no change in the Crescent Pass, this is Mingchuan's territory after all, be careful not to cause trouble, if you are slaughtered, you will be slaughtered, and the matter is important!"
"Yes!" said the captain of the guard, who rode his horse back, found a clever young man, and told him everything.
Soon, the guard took two more horses and left the group with a loud whip.
It was already afternoon when they reached the east of Yingming Mountain, and the wind was much stronger than in the morning, and the wind and sand disturbed people, and at the worst they could not even see clearly, and they had to cover their eyes with their hands. And the desert looks almost identical, there are no markers, and they don't know where Zhenbei Hou is waiting for them to the east of Yingming Mountain, so they can only rely on the sun to identify the general direction, and then slowly look for it.
Not long after, the captain of the guard covered his mouth and said to Zou Ci: "General, there seems to be someone in front!"
Zou Ci barely discerned his words from the wind and sand, nodded and looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw a few shadows in the wind and sand, standing there still.
He suddenly frowned: "It seems a little weird!"
The captain of the guard also said: "They didn't ride horses, nor did they have carriages, not like the people waiting in the north of the town." β
"It's just a dozen people, go over and take a look!" Zou Ci took the lead to speed up, he was very confident in the strength of his group, "It's impossible for the people of Crescent Pass to move, if someone else is in the way, we will slaughter it!"
"Yes!"
But when they approached the pedestrian, they gradually saw the dozen or so people clearly, and their pupils suddenly shrank.
I saw that the leading person was about 1.85 meters tall, well-proportioned, wearing a pair of stainless steel light armor, standing upright on the sand and watching Zou Ci and others coming. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that his angular face is somewhat similar to General Li, but he seems to be much younger, with a lot less vicissitudes, and his body shape is far worse than that of General Li.
He didn't cover his face with gauze, but let the wind and sand sweep around him, and he didn't blink his eyes.
All around is the sound of whirring wind!
Finally, the captain of the personal guard beside Zou Ci couldn't hold his breath and shouted: "Crescent Pass, Jing-Li!"
General Li's voice was low: "Exactly!"
The captain of the guard didn't speak again, but silently drew the sword at his waist, and at the same time took off the round shield beside the giant horse, and looked at General Li with gloomy eyes...... And with his movements, for a while, everyone in the entire squad was ready for battle!
At the same time, everyone behind General Li also drew their swords, holding them in both hands, silent, but ready for a life-and-death fight!
And General Li still had a calm face, stood straight, and raised his head slightly to look at the leader opposite.
"Wolf Rider General, Cizou?"
"Yes!" Zou Ci ripped off his face towel, raised his head slightly to look at the straight General Li, and then sneered, "You actually found out!"
"Today's Mingchuan is stronger than you, and he is stronger than you in all aspects. General Li replied lightly.
"Heh!" Zou Ci sneered again, and looked around again, "What about Zhong Zang?"
"It's almost time to reach the capital. β
"You are moving faster than we thought, and you are more subtle than we thought, but I underestimate you!" Zou Ci said, "But you secretly left from the crescent moon pass so that you concealed our eyeliner?"
"I didn't hide it from them, I was just faster than them. General Lee pointed to the sky.
When Zou Ci heard this, he looked up and saw a group of huge eagles hovering overhead at some point! It's just that they were covered by the wind and sand and only a series of vague outlines, and they really couldn't be found if they didn't look closely.
He was a little surprised: "Rotten Eagle!"
General Lee did not speak.
At that moment, a giant eagle swooped down from the sky and flew almost close to the ground, but flapped its wings to slow down as it approached the ground. Two armored soldiers jumped off the eagle's back carrying something and rolled around on the ground to stabilize their figures.
"Smack!"
The two soldiers threw the things in their hands on the ground, and Zou Ci and the others looked at it, and it was the head of the guard who had just gone to the oasis to replenish it!
Zou Ci's face remained unchanged, and he only said: "I didn't expect Emperor Youren to be willing to send the rotten eagle out to enjoy this battle, and Zou is afraid that he will have a little more capital to brag about when he goes back." β
General Li only said calmly: "You can't go back." β
"Really?" Zou Ci raised his head, "You came here on purpose just to keep me?"
"Yes!" said General Li, "the Mingchuan Zhoude War is not over, but as an enemy general, you have already crossed the border...... No matter how empty the desert defense is, not everyone can enter and exit the border of my Mingchuan at will!"
"Are you ready to fall here?" Zou Ci said as he pulled out a spear next to him.
"They say that as long as I bring your head back, they will allow me to return to my homeland. General Li said, shaking his head, "So I won't die here." β
"Is what you said true?" Zou Ci laughed instead, he had no hatred for Li Jing, but the two sides belonged differently, but when he heard Li Jing say this, he suddenly became interested, "You finally became a young general, but you want to return to your hometown?"
"Zhou De's defeat is a foregone conclusion, although you have been arrogant in the past two years, you are actually unable to cross the border. In the past, there were still Zhenbei Hou secretly supporting you, but now that Zhenbei Hou is gone, it is time for this war to subside. Your Majesty is benevolent by nature, and he will probably not take the initiative to stir up trouble again, and the country in Mingchuan should be peaceful for a while, and I have long been disgusted with this kind of life of fighting all day long. β
"If there is no war, will you go back to plant corn?" Zou Ci narrowed his eyes, he really couldn't understand, if the soldiers didn't rely on war to glorify their ancestors, what else could they rely on?
"It's better to grow corn than to fight. β
"They're going to let you go so easily?"
"So I want your head!"
"Heh! Interesting and interesting! You Li Jing just made a little famous, so you want to use my head in exchange for your idle life, hahahaha!"
"And that's not all. General Li said lightly, lifted the big sword, and pulled out a bright and sharp war knife from his waist, and for a moment his voice seemed to be low-
"You first plotted against our marquis, and then openly crossed the border in armor, and the royal family's face was greatly damaged, and an explanation is needed above, otherwise it will inevitably declare troops against Zhou De again to maintain Tianwei! I don't want to give those warmongers an excuse to restart the war! I don't want to tolerate your trespassing on my borders!"
"Brush!"
The sword reflects the snow brightly!
β¦β¦
As the sun set, the wind and sand gradually stopped, the sun dyed the desert golden, and several giant eagles screamed into the sky, leaving behind a dozen corpses and red sand on the desert.
It won't be long before the wolves will clean up the carcass, and tomorrow morning, new sand will cover up the traces of today.
**********************
When Cheng Yun woke up, he felt a feeling of grogginess in the back of his head, like the feeling after a hangover.
Sure enough, he dreamed of General Lee. Although the General Li in the dream is very different from the current General Li, and he did not get the answer from the dream, he can confirm that it is General Li.
Until now, Cheng Yun still can't figure out the law of this dream, only knowing that it still exists, but he doesn't do it every day. Sometimes it allows him to see a lot, and sometimes it's just a brief picture, or a single scene, but these are not directly related to how tired he is the next morning.
For example, now, he sees the picture very clearly, and he remembers it vividly, and he has a terrible headache.
The picture in the dream was a bit abrupt, and Cheng Yun also spent a lot of brainpower to figure out what kind of story it told, but such a single scene obviously did not allow him to determine General Li's character and character at once.
According to the picture in the dream, he had some understanding of the situation before General Li's world from the side-
At least he determined that the Mingchuan world was not an ordinary ancient feudal world, but an existence with extraordinary power. This transcendent power is in the hands of a shaman, priest, or prophet, who translates it directly into a shaman after a little thought. However, the shaman's own body is very weak, and even due to the sequelae of using this power, he is weak and sick, and his life span is not long. As a result, they have gained a high status and respect in this world, but they are not destined to become stable rulers.
By this time, the shamans who possessed their own powerful forces had long since disappeared, and most of the remaining shamans worked for the imperial power, because it could be easier to exchange for glory and wealth.
They infuse this power into mortals or weapons through a way of carving runes, allowing normal mortals to gain stronger force, such as great strength, hard defense, etc. General Lee's armor has such runes on it.
Cheng Yun speculated that General Li's drastic change in size might also have something to do with it, because apart from the complex shamans of such characters, there seemed to be nothing extraordinary about that world.
Huge eagles are clearly not among them.
He sat on the bed and thought about it a lot, until the alarm went off for the second time, then shook his head, put on his slippers and began to wash.
Yin Woman, a child who will not stay up late to play with his mobile phone and is energetic all day long, naturally got up earlier than him, and when he went out, Yin Womanxia had already mopped the ground clean, and was sitting on the stairs on the third floor with a mop, playing with his mobile phone. General Lee, who had probably never experienced the hustle and bustle of the modern night, got up early.
Cheng Yun quietly pushed open the door of the hostel, looked inside, and found that there were two guests sleeping inside, while General Li sat on a chair on the balcony and looked out in a distraction.
He couldn't help coughing lightly: "Ahem." β
When General Lee turned around, he beckoned to him and walked to his room.
General Lee followed him.
"I'm going to start preparing breakfast, so stay in my room for the time being. I also have a balcony and the view is similar. Cheng Yun said as he pushed open the door of his room, "By the way, I'll turn on the TV for you, first, you can use it to pass the boring time, and second, you can also learn about our world accordingly." β
"It's troublesome for the stationmaster. β
"Not necessarily. β
Cheng Yun motioned for him to sit on the sofa, turned on the LCD TV, and tuned to a toddler channel.
The tower-like General Li sat on the sofa in an orderly manner, put his hands on his knees, and stared intently at the tablet in front of him that suddenly showed a picture, his eyes full of sluggishness and surprise.
Accompanied by the beast standing on the screen, a deep voice sounded: "Today, Xiong Da came to tell the children, what should I do if I suddenly meet a bad guy on the road......
