Chapter 9: The Temptation of Strawberry Flavor
Seeing that Li Qiu was unmoved, General Pan thought for a moment and persuaded him with interests: "Uncle said that this battle, as long as the credit for winning is considered to be the general, you alone, if there are some small setbacks, he will personally carry the black pot after this incident, and you will never be implicated." ”
Li Qiu said in his heart, this is to play him like a three-year-old child, he wants to deceive him desperately, and what kind of small setbacks do he say, if he is really unlucky to bump into the shadow thief group, I am afraid that he will have to transform into a rotten chrysanthemum general if he does not die.
No matter how good the words are, in the end, I don't want to make him cannon fodder.
Seeing that Li Qiu was silent and didn't speak, General Pan had no choice but to persuade him with emotion: "The general doesn't have to worry too much...... The Shadow Thieves Regiment has always been very alert, as long as they see that our army in Changzhi City is too late to dodge, where do you dare to fight back, when the time comes, you only need to kill a few bandits casually, and you can easily take credit when you come back. ”
Li Qiu asked in disbelief, "What you said is true?"
Junior General Pan nodded and said: "It's true, in fact, my uncle didn't think that he could exterminate the Shadow Thief Group at one time, but since the Lancang State has taken action, if we don't take some measures, and when the Ministry of War will be held accountable in the future, everyone will definitely not end well." ”
Li Qiu understands the truth, he still has to do superficial work, but he really doesn't want to risk his own life, and he is not an iron-headed baby who is not willing to do things that are much more risky than rewards.
General Pan continued with a smile: "Actually, my uncle has always been worried that the general will not have a good time in the barracks, and has always wanted to transfer you back to Changzhi City to enjoy happiness, but there must be a serious reason, if you make war achievements this time, then everything is easy to say, and other officials in the city can't find any reason even if they want to oppose it." ”
Hearing that he could be transferred back to Changzhi City, Li Qiu's eyes lit up, and his eyes shot with excitement, Dongzhou's military laws are extremely strict, and no general who leads troops outside is allowed to leave the military camp under his jurisdiction without authorization. Even if Li Qiu, as the son of a general, wants to use his privileges to evade the law, there is no possibility, and Li Pojun has always strictly enforced the law, especially likes to chop off the heads of his subordinates with tears, he will definitely not stand on Li Qiu's side.
General Pan looked at Li Qiu and smiled, licked his lips and said with a fatal blow: "The beauties of our Changzhi City are different from Daliang City, but they have a different flavor, and they are all fragrant strawberry flavors...... Strawberry flavor. ”
Thinking of the young lady who smelled of strawberries in the milk bath, Li Qiu was suddenly a little excited, and he laughed out loud with Xiao Jiang Pan.
For the sake of the future of the civilians of Changzhi City, and for the sake of the imperial righteousness in Li Qiu's heart, he gritted his teeth and took over the errand of attacking the Shadow Thieves.
Li Qiu really didn't want to stay in the border guards for one more day, but he would never admit that his willingness to send troops had anything to do with the beauties in Changzhi City who exuded a tempting strawberry smell.

The sun in late autumn is not as powerful as in summer, and the dust and sand are flying in the great wilderness, and the already sparse trees have long since withered and withered. From time to time, strong winds blow, and the dust swept on people's faces, making people feel very unhappy.
An army of undisciplined and unmotivated ready to lie down and die is encamping in the depths of the Great Wasteland.
A dozen dejected soldiers were patrolling the barracks at turtle speed.
In the big tent of the Chinese army of the vanguard army, Li Qiu walked back and forth restlessly, he was like an ant in a hot pot.
Li Qiu sighed depressedly, and asked the herald anxiously: "Why hasn't the main army sent by Pan Taishou to meet us come to join us, and how long will we have to wait here?"
The herald shrugged his head weakly, and said in frustration: "Alas, General, the main army of Changzhi City can no longer come, as soon as they entered the Great Wasteland, they were attacked by the Shadow Thief Regiment, and now the whole army has withdrawn to Changzhi City to hide and refuse to come out again." ”
Hearing the bad news that the herald and the detectives heard, Li Qiu's heart was cold, and he lost half of his soul, these defenders of Changzhi City are a group of pigs, and they can't be defeated so quickly...... Li Qiu has seen someone who sells his teammates, but he has never seen someone who sells so openly and madly.
Li Qiu had a headache thinking about his current situation, all the soldiers under his command were light infantry, and now they were in the hinterland of the Great Wilderness, there was not much food left in the army, and the waste soldiers under his command could not count on the war at all, and they were like reincarnated starving ghosts when they ate food, and they were like ghosts like dead fathers when they couldn't eat enough for a meal.
Li Qiu originally expected to insist on waiting until the main army of Changzhi City, and then withdraw back to the border with a few people, but he didn't expect that the main army was more shameless than him, and he was really willing to bow down.
If Li Qiu is allowed to run into the elusive shadow thief group at this time, I am afraid that before he can return the fire, his soldiers will have to rush to surrender.
Seeing that it was dark outside the camp and the temperature had plummeted, Li Qiu could only wait until tomorrow morning even if he wanted to withdraw his troops.
The more Li Qiu thought about it, the more angry he became, he waved his hand irritably, and ordered the heralds: "Pass my military order, all the soldiers pack their bags, and we will withdraw early tomorrow morning and return to the border camp." ”
Now Li Qiu no longer has any illusions about the benefits that General Pan said, and he only hopes that God will bless him and let him lead his troops back to the border alive.
The herald retreated as he was told, and Li Qiu sat down and stood up in the tent, back and forth, back and forth several times.
Li Qiu's mood was extremely depressed, he walked around the tent to vent his dissatisfaction, thinking that even if he withdrew safely this time, he would have to continue to be trapped at the border in vain, which really made him extremely discouraged.
There is a more critical problem that plagues Li Qiu, according to his calculations of the distance of the whole army back to Changzhi City, it will take him at least fifteen days or so, but now the food carried by these soldiers under his command can last for five days at most, is it really necessary for them to collectively eat excrement and persist in holding on after five days.
Problems emerge one after another, each one gives Li Qiu a headache, Li Qiu patted his head vigorously, he really couldn't think of a good solution, he simply stopped thinking about it, turned around and picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.
Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and he can't do anything if there is no road, Li Qiu held the wine glass bitterly, and drank the spirits one after another.
Outside the camp, a dozen demoralized soldiers on guard were yawning, listlessly looking up at the starry sky and talking nonsense.
"The general finally got his senses, and knew that if we stayed any longer, we would be looking for our own death, and we could finally leave this hellish place. One of the patrolmen complained loudly.
"That's it, if you stay here every day, you can't eat or sleep well, the shadow thief group cares about our, and the credit for winning the battle is all the Taishou and the general, why let us suffer. ”
"You two don't say a few words, one of them is too guarded and the other is a general, and neither of them can offend a small soldier like us. ”
A gust of wind blew, and the soldiers gave a cool breeze on their bodies, and they couldn't help but shiver all over their bodies.
"Hmm...... Hey, do you smell anything?" a patrolman shook his head, sniffing the air around him.
"It smells so bad...... Let's say it's any of you who stinks and is shameless, and take the opportunity to fart in the wind. A veteran yelled loudly.
As soon as the veteran's words fell, there was a slight vibration on the ground.
The veteran looked ahead, and in the faint starlight, at the end of his vision, dust and smoke were billowing up, and a large number of figures rushed in the direction of the barracks.
", enemy attack, report to the general quickly. The soldiers turned pale with fear.
When people are unlucky, they drink cold water and can drink urine stones, which is a truth that Li Qiu has known for a long time, but he never thought that when he was really unlucky, he would be so caught off guard.
The herald stumbled, and fell into the big tent with a disgraced face, and in a tone in which his whole family was being cremated, he cried and shouted: "General, the bandits of the Shadow Thieves have been killed, and the brothers are going to be cool." ”
Li Qiu was shocked when he heard the ghostly screams of the heralds, and the wine glass in his hand almost shattered on the ground, and he hurriedly asked, "How many people are coming from the other party?"
Li Qiu knew that he had never been a person with good luck, who said that generals who love to laugh will not have bad luck, and now Li Qiu's face is full of wry smiles, and his luck is so bad that it explodes.
"There are at least five thousand people on sight, and judging by the speed of their march, there are at most three teas left before they reach our barracks. The herald's face turned pale with fright, and there was not a trace of blood.
Li Qiu patted his forehead in despair and said loudly: "Send the order to go down and put the whole army on alert, so that the brothers don't panic and get ready to meet the enemy." ”
The herald took the order with a bitter face, and Li Qiu knew that it was absolutely impossible to expect his soldiers to not panic and remain calm. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the soldiers outside the tent to give Li Qiu a lot of face, and their howls of ghosts and wolves had reached Li Qiu's ears.
The barracks instantly became a funeral ground, full of filial sons who were crying out for heaven and earth.
The screams of the soldiers were like a talisman, and they kept smashing into Li Qiu's heart again and again, and Li Qiu lamented that he really poured the blood mold of the eighteenth generation of his ancestors.
Li Qiu quickly analyzed the gap between the enemy and us in his heart, he had a thousand combat power under his command that was infinitely close to zero, and he was completely a waste soldier waiting for the Shadow Thief Regiment to brush his head...... And the other side is menacing, all murderous and bloodthirsty bandits, and also has some highly mobile cavalry.
Retreating with all your body is tantamount to a fool's dream, and it is an impossible hellish task to organize an effective defense to repel the Shadow Thieves.
Li Qiu turned his heart sideways, thinking that he would simply leave these cumbersome soldiers behind and run away quietly.
