Chapter 401: Analyzing the Enemy Situation
As the night wore on, the crescent moon slowly revealed its silhouette in the sky, echoing the campfires and whispers of the camp, with a touch of ease and serenity.
On the school field, Mu Shan sat on the ground casually, holding his chin with one hand, boredly looking at the boring figure repeating the same action on the field, yawning and saying: "Wenyuan, it's been so many days, why are you practicing the simple moves of chopping, chopping, and chopping every night, it shouldn't be because you're afraid of being stolen by others, so you hide it?" ”
"Any advanced martial arts mystery is derived from these most basic moves, only by constantly practicing, constantly understanding, and integrating them into the instinct of the body, can you detect magical changes from decay, didn't your master teach you?"
Zhang Liao stopped the halberd in his hand, walked to Mu Shan and sat down, wiped the sweat on his face, and said: "My qualifications are not as good as General Lu, and I believe that there are a large number of wizards in the world who are more suitable for martial arts training than me, so if I want to compete with them, I must double my efforts and use more sweat and time to redeem my congenital disadvantages." I, Zhang Wenyuan, since I was born in this world, I will not always be just a mediocre person with no name! ”
"Hehe, I originally thought that I was greedy enough for fame, but I didn't expect your desire in this area to be stronger than mine." Mu Shan looked Zhang Liao up and down, sighed, and said, "Maybe you won't believe it." Before I practiced martial arts, I was just a mountain kid with brute strength, and I knew how to drill into the mountains all day long. When I grew up, my mother told me everywhere in the village, but because my family was poor and I had no ability, I was rejected by others, so my mother couldn't hold her head up in the village. So I made up my mind that I must make a career out of the city, return to the village in style, and let those who mocked my mother at the beginning obediently shut up! ”
"Fortunately, now, I am also a small captain, and I can be regarded as taking the first step in life. I am still young, and I will still have a lot to do in the future, and I believe that it is not a problem to pay homage to the prime minister. Mu Shan turned his head, stared at Zhang Liao, and said, "What about you?" Could it be that like me, it was because I was too poor to find a daughter-in-law, so I decided to risk my life to gain fame? ”
“…… Belch. Zhang Liao never imagined that the belief that supported Mu Shan would be so simple and simple, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "I ......." You're a lot luckier than I am. Originally, my surname was not Zhang, but Nie. The ancestor's name is Nie Yi, who was a wealthy merchant in Yanmen Mayi County during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty were amicable on the surface, but secretly they kept sending troops to raid the Han border, making the people miserable. The ancestor was so worried about this, so he suggested to Emperor Wu through the general Wang Hui at that time that the Han Dynasty had won the trust of the Xiongnu after making peace, and as long as it was tempted to benefit, it would definitely be defeated. ”
"So your ancestor was once a ranger who was worried about state affairs?" Mu Shan's eyes were filled with admiration, and he looked at Zhang Liao deeply, and said, "So you are also a loyal martyr, why do you want to change your ancestor's surname?" ”
"Hehe, if you have the heart to serve the country, you may not be able to end up well. After listening to the following story, you may understand why I value merit so much that I forget to die when I fight the enemy! ”
Zhang Liao's tone gradually became heroic and generous, as if he had experienced that period of turbulent years: "The ancestor was ordered to use himself as bait, personally went to the Xiongnu camp, and surrendered to the Xiongnu at that time, and even claimed that he could kill the county order of Mayi, force the city of Mayi to surrender, and then get all the property of the city." The Xiongnu believed the words of their ancestors and immediately planned to raise troops. After the ancestor returned to the Han Dynasty, he falsely called the head of the chief of the Mayi with the head of a criminal to show that the time had come, and lured the Xiongnu army deep into the land. ”
Hearing this, Mu Shan held his breath nervously, as if he had seen the scene of the tragic battle at that time, as if he was about to witness the arrival of a big victory.
"It's a pity ......" The light in Zhang Liao's eyes gradually dimmed, his voice suddenly turned low, and he sighed: "When the Xiongnu were marching, they found that there were only livestock between the cities and fields, and there was no one in sight, so they became suspicious. He sent troops to capture a pillbox and captured a lieutenant. The greedy and fearful of death Wei Shi exposed the truth that there were already more than 300,000 Han troops ambushed near Mayi, and the Xiongnu, who saw through the conspiracy, retreated in shock, and the Han army was useless in setting up ambushes. ”
"Damn soft bones!" Mu Shan clenched his fists and scolded angrily, deeply angry at Wei Shi's undisciplined conduct, and also deeply regretted Nie Yi's failure, but after thinking about it, he thought of the consequences that Nie Yi might face, looked at Zhang Liao's gaze, and immediately brought great sympathy: "Then your ancestor ......, he ......"
"Hehe, what else, of course it's a mouse in the bellows, and I'm angry at both ends." Zhang Liao grinned bitterly, smiling with great melancholy and sadness: "The ancestors designed the Huns, and the Huns were eager to skin and tear him apart." On the other hand, the Han army, with a lot of fanfare of more than 300,000 horses, huge military losses, and returned in vain, secretly doubting whether the ancestors betrayed the Han army at a critical juncture, so whether it was the Xiongnu or the Han army, or even the heroes of the rivers and lakes at that time, they all hated their ancestors to the core, and wanted to kill them quickly. Because of this, the ancestor had to give up his surname and change his surname to Zhang, like a rat crossing the street, hiding from all sides of the hunt everywhere. ”
"To this day, I still have the surname Zhang, and I dare not change my surname back to Nie, so as not to expose the affairs of my ancestors and affect my family. However......" Zhang Liao's self-pity only lasted for a short moment, and in the blink of an eye, the gloom at the corner of his eyebrows melted away, and he was full of pride and fighting spirit again, and declared loudly: "In my generation, no matter how much difficulty and danger there will be ahead, no matter how much sacrifice and price I pay, I will win the fame that will go down in history, and then I will go to the court to clear the grievances of my ancestors, and change my surname back to Nie in a dignified manner!" ”
"Good ambition!" Mu Shan only felt that Zhang Liao at this moment seemed to be exuding a kind of light all over his body, which was brighter and brighter than the crescent moon above his head: "Even so, this state will be a good place for you to show your skills." ”
"No, it's not me, it's us!" Zhang Liao's big hand pressed tightly on Mu Shan's shoulder, and said in an unquestionable tone: "There is no father and son on the battlefield, only brothers who depend on each other in life and death, and whose lives are entrusted. As long as the two of us join forces, we will definitely be invincible! ”
"Brother!" Mu Shan was enthusiastically boiled by Zhang Liao's words, and he couldn't wait to worship him at this moment: "We will all get our wish!" ”
After bidding farewell to Zhang Liao, Mu Shan was still uneasy, and walked towards Yu Ban's tent by the bright moonlight.
"Wen Ze, are you sleeping?"
"You're back?"
"Well, Zhang Chun may launch a large army to attack him, and now I have to rush back overnight, do you want to go with me?"
"Together? There is always someone to stay with Ding Tingshi, and there is someone better suited to go with you than I am. ”
"Hehe, your kid's eyes are really getting more and more vicious." The corners of Mu Shan's mouth raised, and he smiled understandingly: "Sleep well, there are not a few days of free time like this." ”
Hurriedly getting together, and parting in a hurry, compared to the ban, Mu Shan really wants to go with Sima Yuchen, maybe because Sima Yuchen's martial arts are higher, maybe because the cadres and Mo Ye can work together to exert greater power, maybe because of ......, in short, the real reason, Mu Shan already knows it in his heart, but he doesn't want to think about it.
Standing outside Sima Yuchen's tent, Mu Shan pinched his nose and shouted in a pretentious tone: "Yuchen, come out and see who is back." ”
Sima Yuchen lifted the tent curtains, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I heard Dingbang say, a deserter full of big words came back from the barracks today, does it refer to you?" ”
"Don't listen to that girl's nonsense, how could a person as wise and martial as me become a deserter." Mu Shan put on a look of thinking that he was Yushu Lingfengyu, and said: "I need a person with extraordinary skills and excellent knowledge to go deep into the tiger's den with me to investigate the movements in Feiru County, I don't know if the heroine will appreciate her face?" ”
Sima Yuchen put down the tent, turned around and went into the tent: "I'm not free, I want to sleep!" ”
"Uh......" Mu Shan ate a closed door, still standing there without giving up.
A moment later, the tent was lifted again, and Sima Yuchen appeared again with a package, and the two stared at each other, and suddenly Qi Qi couldn't help laughing.
