Chapter Forty-Eight: Who Protects the Security of the Country
The camp of the Rainbow Alliance
After learning the news that all the soldiers and horses brought by Li Wensong and Bai Yin were killed in battle, the atmosphere of the Yang Yu coalition army became extremely heavy. They were well aware that if the Wolf King continued to move forward and then flank them, then they would be in a dilemma.
100,000 Fengyu cavalry appeared in the snow field of Chen Guo to fight against the wolf king, the wolf king was killed on the spot, and the remaining soldiers and horses of the wolf king's army were less than 10,000. ”
The messenger's words spread throughout the tent, and every general frowned when they heard it, for it was the first good news they had heard for themselves in so many days. Only Feng Mo heard the envoy's words, raised his head and looked at the envoy, and walked out of the tent without saying anything. When Yumo saw it, he immediately followed from behind.
"Feng Mo, is it the soldiers you asked the Tang State Lord to send?"
"It's not. ”
"The Wind Feather Cavalry is really powerful, and as soon as the troops are dispatched, they will get rid of the wolf king, so we will have no worries. ”
"Maybe, but I always felt in my heart that we were caught in a trap. ”
Before Yumo could answer, a soldier came to report, saying that five miles from the rear, a troop was rapidly approaching.
The two immediately sorted out their equipment, flew on their horses, and led the troops there.
"Who's coming?"
"The Wolf King. ”
"Didn't the wolf king just be killed, how can there be another wolf king?" Feng Mo had a sneer on his face.
"I am the new wolf king personally supported by Master Yun. ”
"Who is Master Yunguo?"
"Tang Guoshi's cloud envoy. ”
Hearing these two words, Feng Mo completely understood why the East was particularly peaceful, and why almost the entire army of Feng Yu cavalry would appear on the snow field of Chen State.
Seeing that Feng Mo didn't speak, the Wolf King motioned to his subordinates to bring Bai Yin to Feng Mo, "This time I came to return this person to you by the order of the Yun Guoshi." With that, the wolf king withdrew with his troops to the north.
Liang Fei wanted to send troops to chase and kill, but was stopped by Feng Mo. In Feng Mo's opinion, the wolf king troops in front of him could no longer pose a threat to Yang Yu, and he didn't want to increase the killing.
Feng Mo stepped forward to pick up Bai Yin and took him back to the camp. At this time, Tang Chen had already woken up, but he was wrapped in bandages in many places on his body, he had already learned from Yuan Bing about Bai Yin's trip to Chen Guo, and later heard the news that he had died in battle, Tang Chen, who had just recovered from his injuries, fainted to the ground again.
When Tang Chen saw Bai Yin in Feng Mo's arms, the joy and excitement in his heart could no longer be suppressed, he ran to the front, grabbed Bai Yin's hands, and shouted loudly, "Bai Yin!
But Bai Yin was still asleep, and there was no change. Yuan Li and Yun Shiyu, who rushed to hear the news, immediately began to treat Bai Yin, and after half an hour, the two looked at each other and shook their heads. Seeing this, Tang Chen immediately rushed up and grabbed Yun Shiyu's hand, "Bai Yin, how is he?"
"Tang Chen, me. Seeing Tang Chen's anxious expression, Yun Shiyu was a little scared, and she was also hesitant to speak.
"I'll tell you. Yuan Li separated the two, "Bai Yin's external injury, Miss Yun and I have already healed him, and he only needs to rest for a while to heal." However, he suffered severe injuries in his body and needed an herb to heal. ”
"What herbs, I'll go find him?" Tang Chen asked anxiously.
"Soul Grass. This herb grows in only one place, on the cliff mountain, ten miles west of the national capital. Yuan Li shook his head, "Tang Chen, we all want to save Bai Yin, but now, if there is no Soul Nian Grass, no one can save him." He could only sleep all the time."
When Tang Chen heard Yuan Li's words, he took two steps back, his eyes full of regret. He knew that it was because his "death" stimulated Bai Yin that he would fight to the death on the battlefield, and if he had come back from Zhufeng Pass earlier, maybe Bai Yin would have been fine.
The people in the tent sighed a few times, and they all retreated one after another, leaving only Yun Shiyu and Tang Chen to stay by their side.
"Shi Yu, what Doctor Yuan said, is it true?"
"Yes, the three souls are damaged, and without the soul thought grass, it is impossible to wake up. Yun Shiyu replied while boiling the decoction.
"Can you tell me how to get to the capital?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Bai Yin is my good brother, he put himself in a desperate situation because of me, and I want to save him. ”
"Do you want to go and fetch the Soul Nian Grass by yourself?"
"Yes. ”
"Are you crazy? Now that you have entered the realm of leaving the country, how many people will want to kill you and go to Moko to ask for credit?"
"I know, but I can't watch my brother lie here all the time, and if one day the enemy kills him, he won't even have a chance to escape. On the battlefield, as he is now, death is almost certain. I can't allow that to happen. ”
"I won't allow you to go. Yun Shiyu's gaze was firm.
"I don't allow it either. The curtain of the tent was opened, Yuan Bing quickly walked to Tang Chen's side, and grabbed Tang Chen's arm, "You still said that you want to protect me, you are gone, what should I do?"
"General Feng is here, you'll be fine?"
"What about me?" Yun Shiyu's tears slipped unconsciously, "This place is very strange to me, it's only because of you that I'm here, you're gone, so where am I going?"
"Tang Chen won't leave, you can also treat this place as your home, we are all your elders. Feng Mo pushed open the curtain, and Yumo followed behind, "Tang Chen, don't forget, you are the commander of the vanguard force. ”
"But?"
"There's nothing to do, according to my estimate, in less than ten days, we'll be going to battle Moko. If he wins at that time, he will drive straight in, pointing directly to leaving the national capital, and curing Bai Yin is a trivial matter. If we lose, we will all die in battle, so what if we save Bai Yin now?"
Hearing Feng Mo's words, Tang Chen dispelled the thoughts in his heart and sat in the corner silently.
Feng Mo exchanged a few words with the teenagers and walked out.
"It's a good feeling to be able to live and die for a friend. Unfortunately, we can't go back. ”
"Yes, when we become famous generals, we will not only enjoy his glory, but also bear his shackles. ”
"I used to pursue my own desires, and after I got them, I realized how unbearable the desires in my heart were. ”
"But at least we can defend one side and keep everyone else safe. ”
"Yumo, it is never the generals who really protect the peace of the country, but the soldiers. They have suffered from us, but we have enjoyed their glory. We forget that when we were soldiers, we faced the trembling hands of the enemy, and when we became generals, we used those who were like us as bargaining chips for our way forward. Feng Mo stood in the clearing, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and the back behind him was full of perseverance.
"Don't think about it, we can't escape our fate. Now that it's been like this, there's nothing we can do to change it. All you can do is make your soldiers sacrifice less. ”
