Yu Zhuyong's impact on the 16th was blocked by Xinlan, and because the former was more tempted than killed, the assumption of Xinlan and the others was confirmed.

Well, all that's left is to actively prepare.

It's just that Yu Zhuyong is very lucky, he has embarked on a lonely road alone, but there are still people in Gumeng who have not forgotten his strategic concept.

"What needs to make Da Song jealous is not only Lord Yizhu!"

The Jin Kingdom attacked with both wings, and they thought that the Great Song could not deal with them much now, and before those people rushed over, they could give the Great Song a severe blow.

"Whatever you want. ”

Yu Zhuyong had no objections, but he was not optimistic about the actions of the two from the bottom of his heart.

There is no other reason, if they still have the vast land between the Huai River and the Yangtze River, the attack of the two wings of the Jin State can indeed give the enemy a heavy blow. But now their battle lines have shrunk, and the distance between the opponent's strongest points has also decreased.

In order to harass, the wings of the Jin Kingdom were divided into two teams to attack, so they couldn't beat Yue Fei, Xie Xuan'an's words were not easy to say, he didn't show his true strength. If it is the troops of Han Shi, Xie Haoling and others, they can only adopt the combat method of "passing by", and there are still weaker troops, but the eastern front is so long, no matter how detailed it is, they can hold on to other troops to support.

What about the south? What about the west?

The Yang family seems to have only Yang Jing, but the Flying Dragon troops are faster than other troops, and Li Yaoshi's large array is not something they can deal with alone, Lei Tianhua and Zhang Gongjin's troops are very weak alone, but after the battle line shrank, they adopted the method of being horns for each other, and when they cooperated, it was a weakened version of the single wing of the Jin Kingdom......

Not to mention the west, none of Liu Tian, Xie Xinlan, and Yang Yu are weak.

The only one who can really pose a threat is Zhu Yong himself.

However, he didn't stop it, because only if the two of them failed, he could better twist Gu Meng's power into a ball, so that he could have more strength to meet the upcoming decisive battle.

It's just that Yi Zhuyong expected the defeat of the wings of the Jin Kingdom, but he didn't expect it to be in that form.

……

A small mountain village near Runan.

"Ah Niu, Ah Niu, it's going to be a war again, hide quickly. ”

An old man ran home panting, urging the giant man to close the door.

The giant man was as burly as a little giant, and he went straight to the ceiling of the old man's house, and what was surprising was that his face was wearing a heavy iron mask, only his eyes, nose and mouth were exposed, but from the hideous skin exposed from his neck, it could be guessed that his mask must be extremely ugly.

"Hmm. ”

The giant man nodded, and immediately acted, and after a busy meal, all the valuables in the house were packed - there was not much in fact, and the two hurriedly went to take refuge in the tunnel dug collectively in the village.

"Ah Niu, I'm glad to have you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. The old man looked at the big man and said in a tone that did not look like a compliment.

Yes, Ah Niu is not the son of the old man, and now he has to talk about it, he can be regarded as an adopted son.

The old man used to have a son, but he died during the civil war last year, and was drowned by the Yellow River water that broke the embankment of the "imperial army" at that time.

The new court gave compensation, but the old man's hope in this life, the only son died, what is the use of compensation? Yes, the compensation and follow-up arrangements given by the holy woman are enough for him to live for a long time, but the old man just doesn't want to accept it.

"War cannot be solved by compensation!"

He left alone, and the officials in charge also sent someone to protect him for a while, but after all, he acted for the sake of the mission, and he went back not long after.

The old man became alone again, and his life was extremely difficult, but he hated that the court had taken everything away from him, but he didn't hate that his life had become so miserable, and he refused to use the court's money to help the villagers...... With such a strange thinking, the people in the village didn't know how to help him.

Of course, it's not that I don't understand, but it's useless to understand.

"All I want is my son coming back, nothing else!"

No matter how the times progress, the lives of the people at the bottom can always be more difficult than ordinary people imagine, especially stubborn people like the old man, not to mention.

Just as the old man was about to fall to death, he found a giant man who had fallen in a ravine.

He silently dragged the giant man home and gave him what little food he had left.

"Wake up, wake up and leave, there's only so much I can help you. The old man spread his shriveled lips and spread his hands.

But the giant man just glanced at the old man's home silently, and decided to stay for the time being.

"I said, I don't need anything in return, can I understand human speech?

The giant man just silently didn't say anything.

"That's fine, I've received the reward, and I'll do the rest when my son comes back. ”

The old man was not crazy, of course he knew that his son was no longer there, he just gave the giant a reason to leave.

But at this moment, the ancient Mongolian invaded, and the people of the village discussed it and decided to hide in the ravine.

The giant man spoke for the first time.

"Where's your son?"

Unlike the huge appearance, under the iron mask was a slightly younger voice, which evoked the old man's memories and his disgust with war.

"There are no sons, my son is drowned! by the damned war...... Damn, who cares about your internal wars and external wars, why is there a war in this world, isn't the saint very powerful? Why didn't you strangle the war!"

The giant man suddenly became angry and lifted the old man up, but soon, he put the old man down and knelt on the ground at the same time.

"Peace cannot be made by one person alone. ”

After that, he stopped talking, and silently led the old man into the mountains with the villagers, and no matter how the old man hurried, he silently stayed by his side to take care of him.

The old man was stubborn, but he found out—

It's a matter of taking what you need.

This giant man also lost his father.

Gradually, even if the old man was unwilling, the villagers all tacitly accepted that the giant man was the adopted son picked up by the old man. And the old man gradually overlapped the figures of the giant man and his son, filling in the hole in his heart.

The two lived like this, and after a long time, combined with the size of the giant, the old man gave him the name "Ah Niu".

The old man doesn't care about the affairs of the world, but the villagers ...... At least the village chief is concerned, after all, the ravine cannot live for a lifetime.

And Ah Niu is in the ravine, but he is extremely concerned about the affairs of the world.

Hearing that the ancient Mongolian army was heading south, his eyes were ugly, and people felt terrible when they saw it.

But he didn't leave.

Hearing that Yue Jianghong was killed in battle, Ah Niu laughed a few times, but immediately stopped.

It is not funny that the man who saved the country from the time of its collapse was the instigator of the civil war, the criminal.

He still didn't act.

After that, there was a lot of happy and sad news, and Ah Niu never showed great sadness and joy.

But the eyes don't deceive, the old man can see.

At the same time, he also knew that Ah Niu had secretly run out to cultivate at night, moving mountains and seas in a way that he and even the people in the village could not imagine in his life, and helping them eliminate the bandit deserters who approached the mountain village in places they didn't know.

A few days ago, new news came, and Ah Niu smiled softly, but also showed a melancholy look.

The old man felt that he could not go on like this.

Indeed, he willfully regarded Ah Niu as a substitute for his son, but Ah Niu is only Ah Niu after all.

"It's time to go, I'm fine, you see I can run this way. ”

Niu shook his head.

"Enough, I, don't need your atonement. ”

Ah Niu's eyes under the mask showed a hint of panic.

"Really, don't be stupid, you're from the court, I don't know which side you are......" The old man smiled lightly, and then straightened his face, "But it doesn't matter which side it is, it doesn't matter if you make amends, I don't need it, but there are still people in need in the world, and more importantly, only you can make people like us in this world no longer appear!"
