Chapter 27: The Assassination

One can imagine how shocked the female generals were when this sentence came out, they all stayed in the local area, and this dead silence lasted for a long time before one of them finally stammered: "What...... How so? ”

My mother said slowly: "The country of Yu in the Eighteen-Nation Alliance, privately made peace with Heggis, and the [***] camp was stationed next to our army, called Fangying, but secretly borrowed the road to Hejis, causing our army to be surrounded by 100,000 horses and horses of the Hegis Army, although it was fought to the death, it was finally damaged!" ”

This sentence was even more like water in a pot of oil, and several female generals shouted with red eyes: "General, send troops, we swear to avenge the dead sisters and kill the mongrels of Hegis cleanly!" Some people also said loudly: "The most hateful thing is the Eighteen-Nation Alliance, let's go and finish their nest first!" ”

My mother waved her hand and said: "It's too early to say this, the situation is still unclear, we only know that the country has surrendered to the enemy, and the attitude of the other seventeen countries is not clear for the time being." ”

Someone said angrily: "The Eighteen Nations Alliance is all a raccoon dog, what good birds can there be, I think they will all be killed!" ”

My mother said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I am as sad and angry as everyone else, but this is useless, we are soldiers, and the duty of a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country, if we are now determined to expand the contradiction that is in the arms of Hejis, Hegis soldiers are pointing directly at the federal continent, needless to say, the situation at this time is that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the internal strife is together, the federal continent will never be peaceful, my daughter country will be dragged down and dragged to death sooner or later, and it is not ashamed for soldiers to die on the battlefield, and the most shameful thing is to lose power and humiliate the country, On that day, what will we be to see our daughter's country, the people of the country and the emperor? ”

The generals were silent for a while, but they were all indignant.

My mother summoned one of the guards and said, "Go and find the person who delivered the letter, I have something to ask her." ”

After a while, two guards walked in with the female soldier who delivered the letter, she had already changed her clothes and eaten something, and she looked a little bloody, and as soon as she arrived at the door, this person flew in and knelt on the ground and cried: "General, find a way to save General Zhang and his sistersβ€”β€”"

Mom's eyes flashed and she said, "What did you say?" ”

The female soldier burst into tears and said: "General Zhang and tens of thousands of sisters were trapped on the mountain by Hegis's 100,000 army, and the grain and grass were only enough for one month, so I asked the general to send troops to rescue them quickly." ”

Mom hurriedly took a step forward and said, "So they are not dead yet?" ”

The female soldier said with a blank face: "Who said they were dead?" ”

My mother hurriedly opened the military report on the table: "Didn't it say that my 50,000 Feifeng Army was wiped out?" ”

"This ...... Can I take a look? The old mother handed her the military report, and the female soldier read it carefully and said: "This is strange, when Hegis came to attack, General Zhang led all the sisters to break through desperately, and when she wrote this military report, we had already rushed to a mountain." ”

Mom said, "What's going on, you tell me in detail." ”

The female soldier breathed a sigh of relief and said: "General Zhang has always been worried about Yu [***], so he secretly added two shifts of secret posts, we were not completely caught off guard before the attack of Hejis, the general took us to fight and retreat, and finally landed on an unknown mountain, and now Hegis 100,000 horses trapped us on the mountain, and the general and sisters are anxious for the general to come to the rescue." ”

My mother said: "Then why does the military newspaper say that your army is completely annihilated?" ”

The female soldier read the military newspaper again, and it was also unclear, so Ma Jing took it over and looked at it for a while, and hesitated: "This military newspaper is very sloppy, and I won't say anything about the typos, and there are several vague places. ”

The generals were stunned for a moment, and said one after another: "It should be like this." ”

The old mother breathed a sigh of relief, her mood improved, and she said with a smile: "Zhang Qianhu, this little rabbit cub, is clever in leading troops, but unfortunately he doesn't learn and has no skills, and several military newspapers have been written inexplicably, and this time he 'almost wiped out' my 50,000 Feifeng Army." ”

All the generals were relieved and laughed.

The old mother's expression was frozen, and she asked the female soldier again: "You said that you were trapped on the mountain, what are your conditions now?" ”

The female soldier said: "General Zhang sent people to hold the main road, the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not much for the time being, but there is only one month of grain and grass, and there are still ......" The female soldier said sadly, "We don't have 50,000 people now, and when we break through, Vice General Wang will bring 3,000 people to cover for us, all of them ...... sacrificed my life for the country, in order to let me break through the siege and send a letter, the 1,000 Guards sisters under General Zhang also died on the battlefield, I, I ......" She didn't say a word after that, and fell to the ground crying again.

General Yigan said in a hurry: "General, let me lead the troops to save General Zhang!" ”

The old mother waved her hand to stop everyone's gossip, and said solemnly: "This matter must be considered in the long run, the commander of the Heggis Army, if it is not a wine bag and a rice bag, he will definitely rearrange it and wait for us to enter, we will break in recklessly, just like a wolf in a pocket, and the loss will be even greater at that time." ”

Then they said, "What should we do now?" ”

My mother asked the female soldier who sent the letter: "Yu [***] has defected to the enemy, what about the other seventeen countries?" ”

The female soldier said: "The other countries seem to want to surrender but can't make up their minds, and they are suspicious, and when we are at war with Hajis, they each secluded themselves, and neither sent troops to help us, nor did they let the Heggis army enter the city. ”

The female generals quarreled again: "I just said that they don't have a good thing." ”

My mother coughed and said: "It's no wonder that they, the seventeen countries are small and weak, and they don't have a backbone, and now the top priority is to unite them." The old mother cleared her throat and said, "The generals will obey the order!" ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately fell silent, and the old mother said loudly: "Ma Jing listens to the order!" ”

Ma Jing took a step forward and said, "The end will be!" ”

"You quickly lead people to the Seventeen Kingdoms, and you must persuade them to hold on to the city and not let Hegis enter the city with a single soldier, and you tell them that the army of the daughter country will arrive before they say, and if they resist the enemy, my Feifeng Army will be their backup; If they surrender to the enemy, it is our enemy, our army will not give up with them, and you have to explain to them the stakes, the ambition of the wolf of Hegis is tantamount to luring the wolf into the house for a while, and sincere cooperation with my daughter country will have a way to live, how to say it yourself, this matter is very important, only success is allowed not to fail! ”

Ma Jing said: "Obey!" ”

"Wang Qing!"

A 40-year-old female general walked out of the queue and said: "The end will be!" ”

"You hold my tiger talisman to mobilize all the troops of the two border provinces to be stationed at the junction of the eighteen countries and my daughter country, in case the eighteen countries defect, you are my first line of defense, and you must block the enemy outside the daughter country."

Wang Qingdao: "Obey!" ”

"Zhao Deli!"

"The last general!"

"I will hand over all matters of grain and grass to you, once the war starts, you must keep the blood of our army unimpeded, only generals who die in battle, no soldiers who starve to death, if there is a half-point difference, the military law will not be spared!"

"Yes!"

"Li Wei!"

"The last general!"

"I ordered you to train new soldiers."

"This ......," Li Wei was puzzled: "General, training recruits has always been the responsibility of a special person. ”

"What I let you train is not an ordinary soldier, although my Feifeng Army is elite, but the number is too small, I order you to select top soldiers from the army from all over the country and then train them, and supplement them to the Feifeng Army, the number of people will be controlled at about 30,000, remember, the first purpose of joining my Feifeng Army is voluntary, and those who are forcibly recruited are not wanted."

"Yes!"

"The other generals will go back to the headquarters to rectify the personnel and wait for the dispatch, and after three days, they will follow the commander in person."

All the generals bowed down and clasped their fists together: "Obey!" ”

My mother arranged the matters of defense, logistics, and recruiting new soldiers in a few words, and each of them will follow them one by one.

After dealing with the military, Wang Qing's eyes swept left and right, and he said cautiously: "General, I heard that Mr. Sword God is staying in the General's Mansion, I wonder if you can let us meet?" ”

My mother was stunned for a moment, then pointed at me and said, "This is it." ”

The generals looked at me together, there was both surprise and surprise in their eyes, they probably didn't expect that the sword god was actually a young man like me, I was still holding half a bowl of noodles in my hand, and when I saw countless pairs of eyes looking at me intently, I couldn't help but be embarrassed and said: "Generals eat something and then leave?" ”

A group of people were stunned, they are all martial arts students, I heard that the sword god is inevitably curious here, and his state of mind is probably like a person who makes a living by codewords has met a Nobel Prize winner, but I don't know if they will be disappointed when they see me like this...... Wang Qing lost his mind for a moment and said with a smile: "If Mr. is willing to appreciate his face, I don't know if he can teach a few tricks?" ”

"This ......" people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, I expected such a situation, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, how do you want me to tell her? The dignified sword god doesn't know martial arts? If she is the kind of sister who has practiced taekwondo for two days and wants to try her hand with others, it will be okay, at most let her kick twice, but this is a general in the ace army, and the guaranteed level is a swordsman, just give me a punch and I will be qualified to be disabled.

Fortunately, Ma Jing got along with me quite well, and came out to relieve the siege and said: "Mr. Sword God has an empty rank now, and if General Wang wants to ask for advice, he will have to wait for Mr. to come back next time." She told the truth, and finally said about Kumei, and a few of those generals really whispered: "So, hasn't he become our ancestor?" ”

Wang Qing said regretfully: "Since this is the case, then I have to do it next time." ”

…… After the generals left, my mother walked around the house twice with her eyebrows twisted, and I asked her, "How are you going to save those people?" ”

My mother said: "Let's take a step at a time, except for the country of Qiu, the attitude of the seventeen countries is very important, of course, with or without their support, I must save these people, 50,000 people, a quarter of the Feifeng Army, equivalent to one-eighth of the national defense force of the daughter country, whether from the overall situation or morality, this expedition is a sure thing." ”

I said: "Well, it's equivalent to Zakin Flower, a small half of the family has been staked in, no matter how the other side shouts, we have to accompany us, otherwise we will have to go out!" ”

"Your analogy is also appropriate-" The old mother suddenly glared and said, "You kid has been eating, drinking, and gambling all these years?" ”

I smiled and said, "Wronged, I learned the last two items when I arrived in my daughter's country." ”

My mother and I gossiped a few words, and the depression decreased slightly, but there was always a touch of melancholy between the eyebrows, 50,000 Feifeng troops were trapped in the mountains, and the daughter country took the initiative to lose, and the burden on her shoulders as a general was not light.

My mother pondered for a while, took out a pen and paper, and began to write a letter, and I asked, "What do you write?" ”

"Please, this defeat is a mistake in my decision, and I want to resign from the empress as a general."

I was surprised: "Aren't you going to go to the army in three days?" ”

The old mother said: "Don't worry, the empress won't agree, I'm just going to cover the mouths of those historians, no one can be responsible for such a big mistake, I can't let the empress fall behind." ”

I said, "What if the Empress really agrees?" ”

My mother smiled bitterly: "Then I will be relieved." ”

My mother didn't close my eyes all night, stayed in the war room and discussed with a few staff officers on the map all night until noon the next day, from the look, there was no result, after lunch, the empress's holy decree finally came, the empress scolded my mother in the holy decree, saying that you Zhao Fanghua, as a general, even ' Victory or defeat is the soldier's consciousness of common things, he resigned when he suffered a loss, and put me and the people where he was, etc., in short, everyone can see that it is not so much a scolding, but a comfort and a relieved heart, only at the end of the holy decree said that he would be fined three months, which is also blocking other people's mouths, and the double reed of the monarch and the minister sang it with a plywood and meticulous eyes.

It was Aunt Cao who came to announce the decree, and after reading the decree, she privately took her mother's hand and said: "The emperor's salary for punishing the general is nothing more than for others to see, and she hopes that the general will not mind." ”

My mother sighed and said, "I naturally understand. ”

Aunt Cao said: "The emperor didn't sleep all night yesterday, one is worried about the soldiers who are trapped on the front line, and the other is the body of the general with a big heart, she said, 'The general is probably a hundred times more uncomfortable than me, those soldiers Yu I am a monarch and minister, and the general Yu is a sister, it doesn't matter if I don't sleep all night, the general is afraid that he will not sleep for several nights in a row." These are the emperor's original words, and she wants me to tell you that all life and death in this expedition are all done by the general, and any difficulties and requirements can be mentioned. ”

The old mother's eyes were red and said: "Tired aunt plays the Ming Sheng, Zhao Fanghua has no place to be ashamed, and can only repay with death." ”

Aunt Cao turned to me again and said: "The emperor is also very concerned about Mr. Sword God, and repeatedly asked me to convey my respect to Mr. Yun, Prince Yun wrote that her side is basically in order, and she will send Mr. back tomorrow, I hope Mr. can go back quickly, and my daughter is grateful." ”

I said, "You reassure the emperor, I will definitely rush back like a wild dog." ”

Aunt Cao: "...... That's good. ”

Sent her away, my mother has no time to sleep, the heralds in the general's mansion and the commanders of various departments come and go, all kinds of matters about the expedition need to be dealt with by my mother, overnight my mother is a lot older, the hair on her sideburns is white as if dyed by frost, I feel sorry for her, and I secretly persuade her to take a break, but my mother took my hand guiltily and said: "Yangyang, you are leaving tomorrow, my mother should accompany you more, but unfortunately we don't have much time, you have to live well after you go back, as for my business...... Don't tell your dad. ”

Before I could say anything, someone came to report the military situation, so my mother had to pick up her spirits and deal with it.

At this moment, there was a great chaos at the gate of the General's Mansion, and the shouts of the guards and the sound of weapons intersecting were faintly heard, as if someone was breaking into the General's Mansion with open fire. In a moment, Zhao Escort arrived with a team of guards, and his mother looked at the military newspaper with one hand, and said without raising her head: "What's the matter?" ”

Escort Zhao knelt down on one knee and said succinctly: "General, there are assassins!" ”

Mom looked up at her and said in the same tone, "Oh? So bold, they want to kill me in broad daylight, how many of them are there? ”

Zhao Huwei said: "More than 10, the details are not clear." ”

"Can you take it alive?"

Zhao Huwei said with a scowl on his face: "General, I'm afraid it will be difficult, the assassins are extremely skilled in martial arts, and they are all dead soldiers, we have seriously injured two of them, but they both bit their tongues and committed suicide." ”

My mother said lightly: "Then let's kill it, anyway, it's not difficult to guess who wants my life." ”

"Yes!" Escort Zhao answered, and her mother looked at her again and asked, "Can you withstand it?" ”

Zhao Huwei said loudly: "Yes! ”

"Okay." Mom started reading the military newspaper again.

Zhao Huwei said: "For the sake of safety, please also ask the general to stay away for the time being." ”

Mom waved her hand and said, "Since I can resist what else I can avoid, let the people of Hajith see the joke?" ”

Escort Zhao said with a flushed face: "Yes!" She got up and drew her knife and stood beside her mother, the guards in the general's mansion were not flustered, some people kept running to the front to support, and there were also a group of guards who surrounded the courtyard where we were in an orderly manner, and the knife was unsheathed and the bow was wound, waiting for the development of the situation ahead.

At this time, the noise in front was louder, the sound of the collision of soldiers and iron came wave after wave, from time to time you could hear someone snorting and silent, in addition to the fact that no one shouted loudly, the other party's martial arts were obviously very strong, and several times the sound of fighting had gradually approached our location, but they were all pressed back, although the scene of the fight could not be seen, but this thrilling was better than seeing it in person.

I have never seen ruffians fight in groups, but this is the first time I have experienced such an occasion, I can't help but be three points afraid and seven points nervous, my hands trembled slightly unconsciously, to show General Wang that they see what I look like now, they are afraid that they will even have to laugh off their big teeth, they probably haven't even heard of such a sword god, right? But I can't blame me, ruffians fight, some people have first-class intestines, and they immediately scatter as birds and beasts, and now they are dying every second!

Gradually, the sound of the fight became quieter, and after a long time, it finally came to Cen Lonely, and a squad leader covered in blood ran to us, knelt on the ground and said: "Report to the general, all fourteen assassins have been ambushed." She was slashed in the forehead, and she was still bleeding, but her face was resolute, and the woman of this daughter country was ruthless, and she was really better than the man.

Mom said, "What about our people?" ”

The squad leader said gloomily: "Dead 132, injured ...... Numerous injuries. ”

My mother looked pained: "1 to 10? It seems that these are all ruthless characters. ”

The squad leader said: "According to the observation of the humble position, no less than 5 of them are at the early level of the sword master, and the others have not had time to take a closer look, so they will not be bad." ”

My mother snorted coldly and said, "Sending 14 swordsmen to assassinate me at a time can be regarded as a bloody capital, go, take me to see." ”

I want three shifts today, can I have a monthly pass of 100?
