Act 182 [Before the Decisive Battle] (II)
When Yun Fan arrived at the camp of the Shuguo Kingdom outside Liuyun City, Meng Ge was sitting alone in the wind and snow, washing his sword with frost and snow. At the same moment, Sinzaima hung his head on the sidelines, not knowing what he was thinking.
However, when he saw Yun Fan arrive here with the army of the Suguo Kingdom, Sinzaima showed great enthusiasm, while Meng Ge still sat alone in the wind and snow, as if he had not seen Yun Fan.
For the scene of Meng Ge coldly looking at Yun Fan with cold eyes, Xin Zaima would often see it when he was in the Northern Desert before. Although Meng Ge didn't seem to even want Yun Fan, who was the prince of the Sa Tribe, every time Yun Fan gave him some extremely harsh tasks that were difficult to complete, Meng Ge not only would not refuse, but could always complete the task satisfactorily.
If "Yin" is the dagger that Yun Fan hides in his sleeve, Gu Yina is his brain, and Akzati is the longbow behind his back, then Meng Ge is the long knife "Heavenly Fang" in his hand, which is used to tear through the hardest and most difficult armor in the world.
At this time, the Shuguo military camp is more like the Sabu military camp to be precise. The scale of the entire military camp must not be able to accommodate the current army of the Suguo and the Sabu Iron Cavalry that Meng Ge set off first.
As the vanguard of the Shuguo Kingdom that arrived outside Liuyun City in advance, Xin Zaima could have built to accommodate such a large number of troops at this moment according to Gu Yina's instructions. However, when Mongo learned of this, he stopped Sinzaima.
As for the reason, there are two points.
The first point is that building such a large-scale military camp without the arrival of the large army will easily make it easy for the enemy army to find out that they are already stationed outside Liuyun City.
The second point is that Mungo didn't want to set up camp for these Dongzhou people at all. Out of historical legacies, as well as Mungo's disdain and contempt for these Dongzhou people.
These two points, Xia Hui and Han Ji, who were following behind Yun Fan, quickly became aware of them after seeing the scale of this camp. Therefore, when Yun Fan entered here with the iron horsemen who followed Yun Fan from Bright Moon City, Xia Hui and Han Wei were very interested in not following with the frost swords, and not far from this military camp, they set up a camp belonging to their long-cherished people.
Seeing Meng Ge after this scene, he slowly raised his eyes and looked coldly at Yun Fan who stopped in front of him. Then, Yun Fan's gaze turned to Xia Hui and Han Ji, and said lightly: "Are you deliberately putting them together, or are you deliberately making things difficult for me." ”
When Mungo heard this, he put his sword back in his sheath and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Yun Fan asked Meng Ge: "Where is your knife?"
Mungo didn't turn around, but said coldly, "Lost." ”
Yun Fan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where did you lose it?"
This time, Meng Ge did not answer Yun Fan.
Xin Zaima on the side stepped forward to lead the horse for Yun Fan, and asked him curiously: "Junhou, when will we have a pre-war meeting next?"
Yun Fan's gaze fell on Meng Ge's distant back, and then said thoughtfully: "When the military camp of our long-cherished country over there is set up, we can prepare for this matter." ”
......
After Xia Hui and Han Wei set up the military camp, they unanimously surrendered their eyes to the direction of Liuyun City. For the next battle in Liuyun City, the two of them have a lot of doubts in their hearts that have not yet been explained. For example, when they left the country this time, they did not prepare any siege equipment, even Meng Ge and others, who were the first to set off to arrive here and set up camp, at most arranged food and grass in advance.
In the snowstorm, Han Yu asked Xia Hui: "Later, Yun Fan should discuss the next strategic deployment with us, right?
Xia Hui adjusted her armor in silence, and then responded to Han Yu casually: "You have asked me all the way this question, anyway, it will definitely not be without preparing anything, just take us directly to attack Liuyun City." ”
Between the words, Xia Hui's gaze turned to the southwest of Liuyun City, and he frowned slightly and asked Han Wei: "Look there, is there a military camp?"
After hearing this, Han Yu looked at the place where Xia Hui was pointing. As a result, he saw the fluttering banner of the Xia Kingdom from the snow. After a moment of silence, Han Yu subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and then said solemnly: "You read it right, it's the military camp." And it is the military camp of the Xia Kingdom. ”
Xia Hui was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
At the same moment, Xin Zaima hurried over and informed Xia Hui and Han Yu about the arrangements for the next battle in Liuyun City. Xia Hui and Han Yu glanced at each other, and then followed Xin Zaima to the Chinese army camp that had already been built.
After handing over some trivial affairs, Yun Fan and Meng Ge sat down in the camp of the Chinese army, waiting for several important generals in the next battle. In the process, Yun Fan and Meng Ge were speechless. Maybe Meng Ge was not embarrassed by this, but Yun Fan got goosebumps because of Meng Ge's silence.
After a long silence, Yun Fan finally couldn't help but ask Meng Ge, "When you went back to Bright Moon City some time ago, I didn't have time to ask you how the matter went, so you slipped away. Later, when I asked Gu Yina, she told me that you had successfully completed the task, but ......"
"Does the prince mean to review that matter with me now?" Meng Ge looked at Yun Fan indifferently, as if he had expected what Yun Fan would say next.
Yun Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I just want to know if you have encountered any tricky things in the process, such as ......"
"For example, are there some people who don't want to admit that they are still the remnants of the Ember Dynasty, and when I find them, they try to kill me?" Looking at Yun Fan's hesitant appearance, Meng Ge bluntly said Yun Fan's doubts, "When the prince was in the Northern Desert, he was not like now, he only spoke and acted submissively. ”
"Is there one?" Yun Fan was stunned for a moment, and turned away from Meng Ge's gaze, but his question attracted Meng Ge's rhetorical question: "Isn't it?" ”
"Hahahaha!"
Yun Fan smiled awkwardly, but listened to Meng Ge say calmly: "The prince and these Dongzhou Chinese are too close. After all, we are not the same as them. The prince knows this better than I should know. ”
Yun Fan sighed: "I haven't forgotten it for a moment. ”
Mungo: "So what's next for the prince?"
Yun Fan was stunned and said, "Step by step." ”
Mungo questioned, "I hope so." ”
After a moment of silence, Yun Fan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Let's not talk about this for a moment, how many of those people on the list are still loyal to us, and how many have betrayed. ”
"At the moment, most of them have apostasy. Meng Ge sighed and continued, "A small number of people who are still finally leaving the bloodline of the clan, because the frost and snow that has swept through Jibei now are basically unable to help the next battle in Liuyun City. ”
"In other words, we're on our own now, aren't we? Yun Fan looked at Meng Ge with a solemn expression, and Meng Ge paused and responded: "Now waiting for them to send troops to support us is obviously an unrealistic fantasy, but there is no big problem in providing some information. ”
Hearing this, Yun Fan became interested: "For example?"
As the words fell, Mungo got up and walked slowly to the war sand table that had been laid out long ago. He didn't answer Yun Fan's question at the first time, but Yun Fan had already guessed what event Meng Ge would roughly focus on next.
In silence, Meng Ge pointed to Liuyun City in the sand table and said to Yun Fan: "Now, I know all the information about this city. ”
After hearing this, Yun Fan's brows furrowed slightly: "You mean to say that there are actually our own people in this city?"
Meng Ge smiled, and did not face Yun Fan's doubts, but turned to say: "Not only that, but the current movements of the Xia Kingdom, as well as the situation in Yaoguang City, and the recent events in the Thousand Thunder Kingdom, I basically know about it. ”
Meng Ge's words made Yun Fan fall into a longer silence. Without waiting for Yun Fan to speak, Meng Ge continued with what he had just not finished: "At this time, the remnants who are still loyal to the bloodline of the Li clan have footprints all over the world. Whether it is in Dongji or Xiji, as long as the prince reveals his identity, our great Ember Dynasty will be reborn on the ruins of the thief. ”
"Do you just want to be a hero of the establishment, General Meng?" Yun Fan's words did not mean any ridicule. He just said it in a very calm tone.
"I'm just reminding you that time is ticking. Meng Ge paused and continued, "The last general doesn't know how many lives he has left, and he can go to the soup for the prince. I only hope that the prince can not forget his original intention. ”
"It's not time to identify yourself. Yun Fan's gaze gradually deepened, "Although many people in the entire Dongzhou already know the mystery of my background, as long as I recover the entire Jibei before this heavy snow stops, and inherit the position of the lord of the Su Kingdom, then everyone's joint efforts will not be in vain." ”
After saying this, Yun Fan fell into deep thought.
Looking at Yun Fan's appearance at this moment, Meng Ge didn't say anything more. He knew what Yun Fan meant by what he had just said. He also knows what Yun Fan has experienced over the years, and what they have experienced together.
If it weren't for Yun Fan, these Sa soldiers in the barracks would still be living in this world as slaves. It was Yun Fan who broke their shackles and gave them freedom and dignity, and it was also Yun Fan who took them away from the Northern Desert, which was full of blood and tears, and tried to take root in the land of Dongzhou.
Yun Fan didn't know how long he had been silent like this, and just when he was about to talk to Meng Ge about some of his next layouts and arrangements in advance, Xia Hui and Han Wei had already followed Xin Zaima to the Chinese army camp.
So, Yun Fan turned to remind Meng Gedao,
"Now that we're all together, let's get started. ”
