The little soldier, who was still energetic just now, seemed to have lost his soul at the moment, his expression was in a trance, his eyes were dull, and he didn't even react at all when his saber fell to the ground.

Lin Yuan had already heard the "third brother" he had just shouted, and seeing his expression at this time, he couldn't help but sink his face and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

The little soldier suddenly came back to his senses, knelt on the ground with a bent knee, and leaned over and kowtowed to Lin Yuan, "Vice General Lin, please make your words clear!" Which adult was raided? Whose head is in this brocade box? ”

He kept his head down, unable to see the look on his face.

Lin Yuan was taken aback when he saw him perform such a big gift, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, "It was Mrs. Xie's mansion that was raided, and in this box is the head of the sinner Xie Yu." ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the little soldier's body trembling slightly on the ground, Lin Yuan had a guess in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "You are so nervous, but you have parents and relatives who are on an errand in Xie Mansion?" ”

The soldier's shoulders trembled, but he refused to look up to answer him.

Lin Yuan was helpless, so he had to look at Zhou Yi, "General, look at this ......"

Zhou Yi raised his hand to him, signaled him not to speak first, and then said softly to the little soldier: "You raise your head first, I have something to ask you." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Bing buried his face in his elbow and rubbed it vigorously, and then slowly raised his head. I saw that his eyes were moist and he looked sad.

Lin Yuan was a little surprised.

Zhou Yi frowned slightly, carefully looking at the little soldier.

Xiao Bing was about fifteen years old, his body was thin, his face was red from the cold, and his skin was chapped in many places, but despite this, it was still possible to see his originally handsome appearance.

"What's your name?" Zhou Yi asked thoughtfully.

The little soldier said Mu Ran: "Xie Jue." ”

"But Xie Jue, the fourth son of the Xie family?" Zhou Yi said again.

Lin Yuan's eyes widened, and he saw that the little soldier slowly straightened his back.

"Exactly."

Zhou Yi smiled, "I didn't know that there was actually an uncle under my command, who fought in front of the battle in the past, and recently he was hungry and cold, which really made Uncle Guo feel wronged." ”

Xie Jue didn't answer his words, but said expressionlessly: "My sister and my third brother wouldn't do anything like that." ”

"You're here, how do you know they won't do anything like that?" Zhou Yi asked rhetorically.

Xie Jue was dumbfounded, he naturally couldn't find evidence that could prove the innocence of his brother and sister now, so he only said in a muffled voice: "I believe them." ”

Zhou Yi shook his head and chuckled when he heard this: "It's useless to believe only if you believe them, the important thing is whether the emperor believes it or not." Since ancient times, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. The emperor has only beheaded one Xie Yu now, and the rest of the Xie family is just imprisoned, which is already an extrajudicial favor. ”

Xie Jue's hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist, and the chilblains at his knuckles cracked open again, oozing red blood, but he was numb at this time, and only said with red eyes: "The emperor is deceived by the villain, and when I return to Beijing, I will naturally write a letter to present my feelings, and ask the emperor to investigate this case thoroughly!" Give me back the Xie family, my sister, and my third brother a truth! ”

"Huh." Zhou Yi let out a light sneer from his mouth, "Back to Beijing, how do you return it?" ”

Xie Jue was stunned, "Is the general going to kill me here to show his loyalty to the emperor?" ”

"Nope." Zhou Yi shook his head slowly, "I don't know what your brother and sister are, I only know that you are a good man who dares to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, just this point, I won't kill you." ”

"In that case, why can't I go back?" Xie Jue was puzzled.

Zhou Yi stood up, his eyes swept over the young man who was standing upright and stubborn, and swept over Lin Yuan, who was kneeling on the side, holding the brocade box in his hand, and also looked puzzled, and gradually threw himself out of the tent.

"I just said that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. The emperor let me die, how can I survive? It's a pity that the brothers can't go back. ”

Xie Jue's face was full of shock.

"General!" Lin Yuan didn't wait for Xie Jue to speak, and had already preemptively shouted, "What do you mean by this?" How could the emperor have ever made such a will? ”

"Lin Yuan." Zhou Yi looked at him, his eyes were unwavering, "Why don't you understand?" The emperor asked you to bring back Xie Yu's head, saying that he wanted to give an explanation to his brothers. But today, what is the use of us asking for this one explanation? Can it protect against the cold? Can you wrap your belly? What about cotton clothing, food and grass? Why don't you let people escort cotton, clothing, food, and grass to come? ”

"The emperor said that the cotton clothes, grain and grass are still being prepared, and in two days, they will definitely be delivered!" Lin Yuan said eagerly.

"Two more days? Two days after two and two days later. The corners of Zhou Yi's mouth were slightly slanted, "How many days can the brothers survive now?" If my guess is correct, I'm afraid the emperor won't send any more grain and grass. ”

"Why?" This question came from Xie Jue's mouth.

Zhou Yi said patiently: "The Qin army is now stationed outside the valley, and they regard us as turtles in the urn. They didn't know that I sent Lin Yuan to Beijing to ask for help, so naturally they would not be wary, as long as the emperor sent troops to surround them secretly at this time, he could attack them unprepared and kill them by surprise. In this way, we have become a waste chess, so why should the emperor save us again? ”

Lin Yuan and Xie Jue were dumbfounded, and they were already stunned.

"Get up, all of you." Zhou Yi raised his hand at them, "Go and call the brothers, we have endured it for so many days, and we will let out a bad breath tonight!" ”

Lin Yuan looked at his resolute expression, gritted his teeth hard, and stood up suddenly, "Okay! I'll go! ”

With that, he took two steps back, turned and walked out. After taking two steps, his footsteps paused again, turned around, walked back to Xie Jue, who was still kneeling, and gently placed the brocade box in his hand in front of him.

Xie Jue's body trembled slightly.

Lin Yuan looked at him deeply, didn't say a word after all, turned around and strode away.

Xie Jue's hand trembled and slowly stroked the brocade box.

Zhou Yi sighed secretly, but his tone was a little stern when he spoke, "Stand up!" You're a soldier! You are still on the battlefield, how can you be so slack! Go and set up your brother's head, and gather in front of the tent. ”

Let him place the third brother's head by himself? Xie Jue was stunned.

The emperor said that he wanted to give an explanation to the soldiers, and Xie Jue could guess the deep meaning of this without thinking about it. Regardless of whether the case of reselling military supplies was committed by the third brother and sister, just because of this incident, the soldiers lacked food and clothing, starved and suffered from frostbite, this explanation was inevitable, and the emperor asked Vice General Lin to bring the head of the third brother to the barracks, which could not only make the soldiers angry and appease the army, but also show their own fairness and strictness, killing two birds with one stone.

In that case, why didn't General Zhou do the same?

What he can think of, can't General Zhou think of? Xie Jue didn't believe it.

The expression on his face was wonderful. Zhou Yi looked at the puzzlement, suspicion and vigilance that flashed on Xie Jue's face, and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Why don't you go quickly?" Can't you even do this little thing? ”

Bagatelle? Xie Jue was stunned, isn't this dismantling the emperor's platform?

Zhou Yi snorted coldly at this time, and then closed his eyelids slightly, obviously not planning to say more to him.

Xie Jue is naturally an acquaintance.

"Anyway......" he took a deep breath and bowed slowly.

"I'm acting for the third brother, General Xie."

—————————————————————

It was night, dark clouds were rising, and the stars were two or three.

The soldiers of the Jinghe Army stood in front of the main tent in line, looking at General Zhou and Deputy General Lin standing in front of them, listening to what they said, they only felt that their heads were dizzy and could not understand.

The wind was so cold, and their heads were sluggish. A soldier shook his head to make himself sober, and when he saw that the people around him were not paying attention to him, he carefully bumped his arm against the person next to him, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xie, did I hear it wrong?" General Zhou said that our military supplies were not sent? ”

Xie Jue said in a sullen voice: "No." ”

"I think I misheard! Vice General Lin went in person, how could he not ......" The soldier hehehe ”

Xie Jue opened his lips a little unbearably, but before he could explain the situation clearly, the soldiers standing in front of him became noisy.

"General, what do you mean by that? What about our cotton clothes and food? ”

"yes, yes! How could there not be? ”

"Vice Admiral Lin! Vice Admiral Lin! Didn't you go there in person? ”

"Many brothers have died, and we ...... too," shouted one of the soldiers, mixed with the voices of others, loud but clearly amplified in everyone's ears, and everyone fell silent.

The man's voice gradually lowered, and there was a little choked in his tone, "We can't hold it anymore!" ”

Everyone's expressions became sad.

Lin Yuan's eyes were hot, and he subconsciously took a step forward, but there was a pressure on his shoulders.

Zhou Yi pressed his shoulder, shook his head gently, his lips moved slightly, and said silently: "Stand down." ”

Lin Yuan stared at him, and finally gritted his teeth helplessly and retreated behind him.

The wind was blowing, and the flames in the brazier were fluttering, illuminating the desperate expressions of the soldiers.

Zhou Yi frowned slightly.

"What's the panic?" He said, his tone was light, as usual.

The soldiers bowed their heads in silence.

After a long time, someone was bold and said, "General, are we going to die?" Are you going to be trapped alive? ”

Zhou Yi snorted lightly, "We're going to die." ”

Really. The soldiers' faces turned pale.

Xie Jue's expression became a little strange when he heard this-although it was true, General Zhou actually said it so lightly?

"But......" Zhou Yi's tone suddenly became sharp, "We are not trapped to death, nor are we starving, let alone freezing to death!" We are soldiers, we will only die in battle! Even if we die, we will take the enemy to the funeral! If any of you dare to say anything that is so useless as trapping death, it is not my Zhou Yi's soldiers! It's not our Jinghe Army's people! ”

The soldiers' expressions were solemn, they were soldiers, they had the pride of soldiers, they had fought for so many years, they had been injured and helped their brothers who died in battle to collect the corpses, they had already looked down on life and death, in their eyes, death in battle was a very glorious thing. The momentary panic of having no cotton clothes and no food gradually dissipated.

Zhou Yi kept talking, "There are no people in our Jinghe Army who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Let me ask you, I will ask for the life of the Qin army tonight, which of you dares to conspire? If you dare, report your name! The martyr's monument will remember you one! If you don't dare, hide on the mountain road, worship the mountain gods more, and beg them to bless you to be a girl in the next life! ”

Be a...... The soldiers' eyes widened in astonishment, when did General Zhou speak as vulgar as they did?

"I dare!"

Everyone was stunned, and one person had already shouted first, his voice was a little hoarse, and he obviously began to change his voice.

The people looked back and saw a young man standing straight.

Sure enough, it's a hairless one. Everyone laughed.

Xie Jue snorted, kept a straight face and didn't speak, only looked at Zhou Yi at the front with blazing eyes.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and asked loudly, "Which one are you?" Get your name in! ”

"Go to Beijing, Xie Jue!"

"Good!" Zhou Yi nodded and shouted: "There are many girl-like sons in the capital like bedbugs, you are a rare one who is not a nest!" Good! ”

What do you say...... Everyone was stunned again, how could they remember that General Zhou was also the son of Shangjing before he joined the army......

When the first person comes forward, naturally the second and third people stand up.

"Lecheng, Yang Ping!"

"Huxian, Li Dacheng!"

"Pinghu, Zhang Xian!"

More and more people declared their names, and the love of the soldiers was ignited all at once.

"Pull the Qin army to accompany the funeral!"

"I'd rather be a ghost who died in battle than a slave who died in the country!"

"Let Qin Jun's grandsons know how powerful their grandfathers are!"

The cries are endless.

Lin Yuan hid in the elongated shadow of the flames, tears in his eyes.

————————————————————

The Qin soldiers stationed in the valley seemed to hear the cry of the cold wind.

"Did you hear anything?" One of the soldiers gathered around the campfire to keep warm listened attentively, "How do I hear someone shouting in the valley?" ”

The person next to him pursed his lips and sneered, "Did you hear me wrong?" The people in the valley have been hungry for so many days, where do they still have the strength to shout? ”

"That's it!" Immediately, someone said angrily: "No matter how powerful Jinghe Army is, he can't survive this cold day!" If you want me to say, it's better for them to die early! We've got rid of this drudgery early! The rulers are sitting in their tents. A few of our brothers are unlucky, sitting on this tuyere and guarding the damn people below! ”

The main tent of the Qin army was far away from the valley mouth, and their conversation could not reach the ears of the commander, so everyone heard his disrespectful words and did not stop him, and some people laughed and made fun of him: "Haha, I think you want a woman, right?" ”

Everyone around them burst into laughter.

"Eh, eh! Don't make noise, don't make noise! The soldier who had said he had heard the sound suddenly stood up, drew his legs, and ran up the cliff. When he saw the red in the valley, he couldn't help but pause.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Seeing him stunned on the edge of the cliff, everyone hurriedly asked questions, and several older soldiers glanced at each other, got up and chased after him.

The soldier turned abruptly and stumbled back.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!" The soldier shouted, and kept running in the direction of the main tent, "The Jin army camp is on fire!" ”

On fire? Everyone was stunned, and then they were all happy, their hard days finally came to an end!
