Chapter 265: The Valley of Evil

Three days later, the temperature on Tianzhu Mountain and the temperature at the bottom of the valley began to drop significantly, and its cold was no longer ordinary clothes that could keep out the cold.

But the Dongxun soldiers who were besieged in the valley did not have such treatment, three days passed, and those Dongxun soldiers who suffered arrow wounds were also frozen to death at the same time as the temperature plummeted in the past three days, and the cold wind that blew now faintly carried a touch of blood, and ah, where are the clothes on them?

There is no other clothing except for the cold and frosty armor, and ah, in this season, even if they drill wood to make fire, in this valley within a radius of more than ten miles, they must be able to find enough firewood for so many of them?

Even if they did, most of the branches that could be used as firewood had already been damp due to the weather, and there was no way to use them to make a fire for warmth.

It can be said that in the past three days, the days of these Dongxun soldiers who were trapped in the valley can be said to be difficult, if it weren't for the fact that they still had some dry food on them, maybe they had already begun to eat people in this valley by now.

It's not like this kind of thing has never happened on the mainland, but ah, all countries have tacitly hidden this phenomenon very well, after all, this can be said to be a huge scandal that will set off monstrous waves once it is exposed.

Cannibalism?

This kind of thing, no matter which country it is, whether it is a dynastic country or an empire country, there is no way for each country to deal with the revelation of this scandal.

Three days ago, there were more than 10,000 people still alive, but after three days, there were less than 5,000 people left to breathe.

Among the more than 5,000 people, there are still those who have the strength to pick up weapons, and it is estimated that there are only more than 2,000 soldiers.

These soldiers are now all huddled in a small area, huddled together to keep warm.

You know, just yesterday, Tianzhu Mountain still had a downpour, after the heavy rain, it was a light rain that lasted for half a day, after the rain and dew, the temperature of this valley has already dropped to below zero, early in the morning, the frost all over the ground has already explained the temperature of this valley from the side, is it these poor Dongxun soldiers can stand it?

And on the valley, the soldiers of Nanli each roasted a fire, and the sound of laughter was also the curling smoke rising from the fire, and it was time to eat at this hour.

Although the temperature of the Nanli soldiers in the past three days was not very pleasant, but looking at the enemy soldiers in the valley, there will always be some comfort in the bottom of my heart because of the contrast.

Not to mention, there is still a river not far from Tianzhu Mountain, so ah, these Nanli soldiers are the happiest every day in the past three days, and it is almost time to eat.

The grilled fish is grilled on the fire, and the aroma of the grilled fish is also blowing to the valley below with the cold wind, just kidding.

Tearing the meat of the grilled fish in his mouth, and looking at the Dongxun soldiers who were curled up in a ball and shivering and looking at them, how could he feel so good in his heart?

This is also what Xiang Yan specially instructed, if nothing else, it is just some small means, which can be disgusting and disgusting, and in terms of mood, the psychological defense line of those Dongxun soldiers will be defeated again.

Why not do this kind of effortless means?

Zhou Dunyi sighed, took the big piece handed over by Xiang Yan on the side and draped it on his body, took a breath with both hands, and then spit out a white mist, and slowly walked up the hillside with a slow pace.

Not long after, when Zhou Dunyi and Xiang Yan came to the hillside, not far from them, the Lord Prison was also standing there, but ah, just looking at his trembling legs, he already knew that this Lord Prison had been here for a while, otherwise, there would not be some frost on his shoulders.

Hey, after seeing Zhou Dunyi and Xiang Yan for several hours before coming here, he snorted disdainfully, and then turned to a flattering general next to him who nodded to him and whispered something, while saying that this prison lord still stretched out a finger from time to time to point at Zhou Dunyi intentionally or unintentionally.

And all this, naturally, was also in Xiang Yan's view, he frowned, for this prison army, if it weren't for some other reasons now, he really wanted to go over and give the donkey who was underbeaten by the prison army a heavy punch in the face.

"Lord Wang, three days have arrived, how to deal with these Dongxun soldiers, please give an order."

Fortunately, Xiang Yan endured the anger in his heart, took a deep breath of cold air, and after coughing twice, he asked Zhou Dunyi respectfully

"If you want to resign in the future, not only will the prison army not be able to say it, but even some generals and colonels in the army will have some complaints about you, Lord Wang, please think twice."

Xiang Yan can see that since the supervisor with His Majesty's handwritten letter appeared in the army, this Shangzhou garrison has also appeared from time to time Some of His Majesty's generals and captains have appeared.

It's just that on weekdays, before this prison soldier appeared, their identities and ranks were far from having enough say to allow them to show their positions.

However, after the appearance of this overseer, these generals and captains who belonged to His Majesty also popped up one after another, as if they could have some rich rewards if they jumped out in time to stand up at this time, in Xiang Yan's opinion, these guys, one by one, were some ungrateful white-eyed wolves.

It is also thanks to the forces of Zhou Dunyi and Zhou Wangfu that they have been vigorously supporting and helping the comprehensive development of a huge state in Shangzhou over the years.

That is, because of the strong power of the Zhou Palace, after so many years, this has not made the whole of a huge Shangzhou look new, and it is already due to the previous evaluation of those poor and remote wilderness.

In the current Shangzhou, the momentum of development has long been unstoppable, but isn't the reason for all this because of the help of the forces of Zhou Wangfu?

It's a pity, it's a pity, these generals and captains of the Shangzhou garrison, who were born and raised in Shangzhou, fell into the command of His Majesty one by one without hesitation, and they didn't have any affection for this Zhou prince who had dedicated so much to Shangzhou.

Even if there is nothing wrong with their move, because they are first of all from Nanli, and secondly, they are from Shangzhou, as Nanli generals and captains, they have to be loyal, and there is indeed only one emperor from the past dynasties, Zhou Dunyi, no matter what his identity is, what his level is, he is still just a prince, and these generals and captains are not the retainers of Zhou Wangye, they and Zhou Dunyi can be said to have no intersection with Zhou Dunyi before the start of this war. How can we express our loyalty to Zhou Dunyi, a prince, instead of declaring loyalty like Emperor Li Dunmin?

There is nothing wrong with this, and Xiang Yan also knows this, but the reason why Xiang Yan feels disgusted with those guys in his heart is because, as generals and captains in the army, who has better military strategy between Zhou Wang Ye and the supervising army, will they not be able to see this kind of thing?

As far as the military strategy level of the supervising army is concerned, Xiang Yan has never thought that the so-called supervising army has any military strategic level to talk about, so at this time, but in the war period, don't they know that the more they are at this moment, the more they have to obey the orders of the military master?

Moreover, their military master, but Zhou Dunyi, one of the two famous marshals of the Nanli Empire, made Zhou Dunyi, who was frightened by all countries, become so vulnerable in front of a prison army from His Majesty's side.

The reason why Shangzhou can become what it is now, and the role played by Zhou Dunyi, in Xiang Yan's opinion, should account for at least more than fifty percent, which is no exaggeration.

Even if you are loyal to Your Majesty in your heart, this is nothing, but you can't be like now, like a wall grass, drifting in the wind?

As soon as this prison army came out, he didn't say anything, and you all put it on the pole one by one, and hurriedly showed his loyalty to Xiang Yan, which made Xiang Yan really nauseated.

Some reactions can be seen from the scene in front of us now.

Zhou Dunyi, who is the real leader of this Nanli army, only has Xiang Yan and a dozen Nanli soldiers by his side, and there are no other generals beside Zhou Dunyi.

And what about the prison lord's side?

Most of the generals and captains of this Nanli army stood behind the overseer with a smile on their faces, patiently listening to what the overseer said, and from time to time they expressed their approval.

Hehe, isn't this a white-eyed wolf?

These guys really think that now that the victory is in hand, there is no need to leave him any affection in front of Zhou Dunyi, the military master, so they are simply not happy to continue to stay by the side of this military master, and they hurriedly can't wait to follow this military master all day long, that flattering demeanor, hehe.

Xiang Yan was also at this time, and she missed Cheng Pu and a few of them.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were sent by Zhou Dunyi four days ago, and each took his Nanli soldiers to carry out a task that only they and Zhou Wangye and the three of them knew.

Although Xiang Yan didn't know what Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were sent to do by Zhou Wangye, according to his understanding of Zhou Wangye, this Zhou Wangye must have sent Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to lay out the next move in advance.

As for Tai Shi Ci, Xiang Yan still has a good impression of this young Jingzhou Navy Captain, although they have not known each other for a long time, but Xiang Yan is still surprisingly good for Tai Shi Ci's impression.

As early as the end of the battle under Yueyang City that day, Tai Shici left with a tall man with a handsome face and armor, Xiang Yan didn't know who the handsome tall man was, and he also asked Cheng Pu and Huang Gai about it, after all, the snickering expressions of these two guys at that time made Xiang Yan seem that these two guys must know the identity of the handsome man.

However, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai just prevaricated a few words casually at that time, and directly fooled the past, and in the end, they didn't tell Xiang Yan who the handsome and tall man was.

However, looking at the bearing and aura of that handsome and tall man, Xiang Yan always felt that this handsome tall man had a good identity.

Yes, after all, Xiang Yan didn't know that the tall man who was handsome in his eyes, but Zhou Yu, the governor of Jingzhou Naval Division of the Nanli Empire, had an extraordinary bearing, and the title of a beautiful man in Jingzhou was not a title that could be crowned casually.

Isn't that what's wrong, Zhou Yu Zhou Gongjin, nicknamed Jingzhou Beautiful Man, is only in his twenties until now, and he has even been on the list of hidden dragons in the Nanli Empire.

And although Xiang Yan and Zhou Yu have only seen that side, the impression left in his heart by this handsome and unspoken tall man is still extremely profound.

If Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Tai Shi Ci and the three of them were still here, Xiang Yan's mood would at least not be as bad as it is now, and his scalp was numb now by those white-eyed wolves, and he couldn't wait to punch each of them.

Zhou Dunyi sighed slightly, his eyes never glanced at the prison soldiers on the hill not far away, his gaze, since he stepped on the hillside, his eyes have not moved away from the valley, among the Dongxun soldiers who are huddled in the corner of the valley, Zhou Dunyi is still not giving up, still looking for that familiar face.

After looking around for a long time to confirm that he didn't see that familiar face, Zhou Dunyi nodded and said softly

"Order to move the boulder, the Dongxun soldiers in the valley, if they are willing to surrender, they will be escorted to Yueyang County, here, it is not suitable for recreation and killing."

After Zhou Dunyi finished saying this, he swallowed his saliva, and then waved his hand and flicked a fallen leaf on his shoulder, now his mood Even if three days have passed, he can tell himself clearly in his heart.

Even after three days, he didn't let himself get out of that state of mind, but after experiencing these three days, he felt a little irritable.

Zhou Dunyi exhaled slightly, and after giving this order, he turned around and walked down the hillside, and on the hillside, there were only a dozen Nanli soldiers left.

Naturally, Xiang Yan was also following behind Zhou Dunyi at this time, and in this place where Zhou Dunyi was not there, he never wanted to stay with the yin and yang prison army and those wall grass.

If Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are here, Xiang Yan will have someone to talk to, but what?

Cheng Pu Huang Gai and they were all sent by Zhou Wangye to carry out secret missions, Tai Shici also followed the handsome tall man and left, and now Zhou Wangye doesn't know what's going on, and suddenly it's like a different person.

In the entire Shangzhou garrison, Xiang Yan didn't have anyone who could let down his guard and talk to him.

And after Zhou Dunyi and Xiang Yan both disappeared on the hillside, on the hill not far away, the prison lord looked at Zhou Dunyi's departing back with a playful smile, and said with a contemptuous smile

"Hey, this fat-faced cat, sooner or later you will experience the means of experiencing prison, and when the war is over, Your Majesty, I won't forget to say a few kind words for you, hey."

Yin and Yang said these words in a strange way, the whole face of this supervisor was distorted, of course, this remark naturally made the generals of the Shangzhou garrison who were beside this supervisor feel a little unbelievable.

Could it be that this Lord Prison and Lord Zhou still have some unknown grievances in private?

Why is it that this prison lord's resentment towards Lord Zhou has become more and more big in the past few days, just like yes, as if these two people have already formed some grudges.

Naturally, although they had such a curious idea in their hearts, they were not stupid, and they were not stupid enough to directly ask why this Lord of the Prison Army hated Lord Zhou so much.

At the same time, in the valley, the captain of the Tosuni leaned against the wall with a pale face and listened to the words of a gray-faced Tosundai soldier next to him.

After listening to what the soldier said, the face of the captain of the East Xun school became even more pale, he gasped, swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva in succession, bit his lip, closed his eyes and thought for a while, he slowly exhaled a breath, and said in a trembling voice

"How many people in the army know about this?"

The Dongxun soldier hurriedly shook his head vigorously, his whole body was trembling, and after carefully observing the surroundings, the Dongxun soldier replied in a low voice

"Lord Captain, the person who knows about this matter is the little one, the other brothers have stayed here these days, and they haven't moved, and the little one went to see if there was any firewood that could be used this morning, so he went over and found out about that scene, Lord Captain, you say, there shouldn't really be any evil place in this place, right?"

When he said this, the Dongxun soldier only felt that he was feeling cold all over his body, not the kind that was frozen by the temperature, but the kind of cold that emanated from the bottom of his heart from the inside out.

"Silence! This kind of thing, this kind of thing, this captain will go over with you later, and this matter must not be introduced to the army until it is really conclusive. ”
