Volume 1: Frontier Crisis Chapter 41: Deliberations in the Accounts
The dawn of dawn silently dispelled the boundless darkness of the night.
The sky gradually dawned, and the earth was hazy, like a light veil shrouded in silver-gray.
Squeak......
Meng Zhize changed into a clean white robe, walked slowly to the window, and gently pushed the window open with both hands.
With a morning breeze blowing in his face, Meng Zhize closed his eyes, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then showed a satisfied smile.
There are a lot of lotus flowers on the lake that bloom delicately, and the morning breeze comes from time to time to tease the lotus flowers of this tender stamen, causing a commotion on the lake.
Under the lotus leaves, in the grass, from time to time there are a few insects or frogs sounding, accompanied by the sound of chickens crowing in the distance, a few fish also jump out of the water from time to time, splashing ripples.
"I'm not a filial son, I haven't seen my mother for many years. Meng Zhize's face had a trace of guilt, he looked at the fish playing on the lake, and whispered to himself.
"I didn't drink much wine last night, why did I feel a little thirsty in my mouth early in the morning?" Meng Zhize walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and poured the tea into his mouth when he raised his head. In the next second, a large mouthful of tea "fluttered" and sprayed all over the table and soaked.
He frowned, covering his nose with one hand and his chest with the other, and his body trembled slightly with a violent cough.
Tuk, tuk, tuk, suddenly there was a soft knock at the door.
"Big brother, are you okay?" Yue Ye stood at the door of Meng Zhize's guest room at some point, his tone full of concern.
Meng Zhize was smooth, walked to the door, opened the door, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I choked on drinking water just now." However, his heart was secretly frightened, and he secretly said to himself in his heart: "When he broke through the siege of Yulang City, he used all his strength to fight to the death, and under the forbidden pressure of Sima Mao's gold-level earth warriors, he didn't want his vitality to be really injured. ”
"It's okay, I just walked to your door early in the morning and heard your cough outside. The moonlit night also smiled slightly, and when he looked up, he saw that the table in Meng Zhize's guest room was wet with tea, turned his head to look at Meng Zhize, and said in a calm tone: "It is not easy to drink overnight herbal tea in the early morning, which is not good for your health." ”
"Well, big brother knows. Meng Zhize nodded, and then smiled: "Don't be stunned at the door, come in and sit." By the way, brother, why did you get up so early?" Meng Zhize walked to the table and took a sweat towel to wipe the water stains off the table.
"For so many years, I have used to fishing and catching shrimp in Luanshui early in the morning, and then selling them in the market to earn some money. Moonlit Night sat down on a wooden bench next to the table.
"My brother is a hard-working child, and he has been wronged a lot after thinking about it for so many years. Meng Zhize sat beside Yue Ye, and gently patted Yue Ye's shoulder with his right hand.
"Big brother misunderstood. The younger brother fishes and catches shrimp by the Luanshui every morning, enjoying the endless pleasure of nature, which is a beautiful thing. What's more, every time my fish and shrimp arrive at the market, they will be snapped up. You can do whatever you want with the money you earn, and your life will be full and happy. "When it comes to the interest of the moonlit night, it is even more proud of the spring breeze and full of a sense of achievement.
"Oh, the eldest brother has entered the Limo Hall since he was a child, and every day he is practicing literature and martial arts, and he has learned the discipline of earth warriors. Later, when he came to Yulang City, although he also got up early every day, he was tired of training soldiers and horses every day, or he was practicing marksmanship skills, and he had no time to fish and catch shrimp. Meng Zhize's cheeks were faintly filled with a hint of envy and yearning.
"If you blindly practice hard and tired, the eldest brother's daily life will be boring. The moonlit night couldn't help but raise the bar.
Hearing this, Meng Zhize blinked, coughed dryly and changed the topic: "Since we are all up, it is better to clean up, let's leave, Wuyan Town is still a long way away from my mother's mother's home." ”
Yueye nodded and responded, "Listen to the eldest brother." ”
The two tidied up a little, had breakfast in Wuyan Town, and hired a carriage to go all the way south.
The terrain of the Narong Hill is undulating, the carriage runs all the way and bumps endlessly, although the official road is spacious, but the horseman does not dare to hurry, after all, the hilly terrain is also a great loss to the carriage.
......
In the border city of Xulang, Sima Mao's big tent of the Chinese army, a cadre of generals was divided into two columns and stood straight in front of Sima Mao.
Sima Mao sat peacefully on the marshal's chair in the big tent of the Chinese army, Sima Yun was wearing a military uniform and light armor, with a knife on his waist, standing majestically beside Sima Mao, facing the generals' waist pole straight.
Next to Sima Mao's marshal chair, there were two vermilion lacquered wooden rattan chairs on the left and right, and Dongfang Yufu and Hei Qilin sat on the vermilion lacquered wooden rattan chairs with a serious face.
"According to the report from the spies, the Northwest Army, which was formed by the Cyanide King's Division under the Yi Army and the Third Army, had marched rapidly yesterday and was rushing towards the border city of Yulang. It is estimated that in a few days, they will arrive at the border city of Langlang. Sima Mao glanced at the soldiers in the big tent who were silent at the moment, and finished saying this sentence in a calm tone.
"The elite army of my Dagu Empire, 100,000 wolves riding golden armor is entrenched here, why are you afraid of his Northwest Army? Brother Sima doesn't need to worry. The black unicorn slapped his thigh, his voice was like a bell, and his tone was very excited.
"What Brother Hei said is true, the elite division of my Dagu Empire, the wolf riding the golden armor, has always been invincible, and he is naturally not afraid of any army on the Demon Continent. Oriental Fu said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
"I am the elite division of the Dagu Empire, and I have been on the battlefield for decades, so I am naturally fearless. However, Dongfang, Brother Qilin, our 100,000 people eat, drink and Lazar every day, how should this logistical supply be solved?" Sima Mao glanced at Dongfang Yufu and Black Qilin, paused for a moment, and continued: "It is said that the Cyan Kingdom also sent Guo Shuai, the head of the Staff Office, to personally lead the Sixth Group to be responsible for the support and supply of the Northwest Army. ”
"This ......"
As soon as Sima Mao said this, there was a commotion in the big tent. Dongfang Yufu and Black Qilin glanced at each other, and they all bowed their heads and stopped talking.
The noise of discussion suddenly rose, and Sima Mao suddenly stood up, revealing an invisible majesty in him. He deliberately coughed dryly, and all the soldiers were suddenly silent.
Sima Mao's gaze swept over the generals again, he sighed fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "All the soldiers have followed me all the way to the battlefield, all of them have outstanding military achievements, and they are all meritorious generals of my Dagu Empire. The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, this time we made a detour to the northwest desert to expedition to the border city of Yulang in the Cyanide Kingdom, if we talked about tactics, it was a taboo for soldiers. But why did we take such a detour? Maybe some of you already have the answer in mind. ”
