As we enter October, the early autumn nights begin to grow.

Niu Yong took advantage of the last rays of the sunset to stagger in the pile of dead people to find the half bowl of porridge that he drank at noon.

Picking aside the already cold corpses, he carefully looked at the blood-soaked black earth beneath them.

He clearly remembered that this was the place where the big tent of his soldiers and horses was located, and he would never be wrong. Otherwise, how could the soldiers lying on the ground all have kitchen knives or axes in their hands?

Finally, after trying again and again, Niu Yong still found the bowl of porridge, and the bowl of porridge was miraculously rested on a wooden shelf, although several people also lay down under the wooden shelf, but there was no trace of spilling in the porridge except for a layer of dust.

Niu Yong trembled and stretched out his hand to take off the clear porridge, and after staring at the dust in the porridge, he suddenly turned his head to look at the mountains of corpses piled up on the hillside.

Immediately, after showing a trace of regret in his eyes, Niu Yong raised his head and drank the bowl of porridge.

"I lost Ye San, you are right."

After muttering, Niu Yong sat on the ground and looked at Muyang City, which looked a little hideous in the darkness in the distance, and was stunned.

In the haze, he seemed to see the brethren looking at him again, their eyes full of anticipation, expecting their commander to give the order to withdraw their troops.

But Niu Yong still didn't speak, although he also wanted to give the order that could make everyone cheer, but the horn of the withdrawal had not sounded, and the reinforcements had not yet arrived, how could he order the retreat without authorization.

"Brothers, don't blame me." Niu Yong whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

After a day of hard fighting, Niu Yong's 5,000-strong army had been wiped out. So when night fell, after the Rong army withdrew from this battlefield that was too small but full of corpses, there were less than 100 soldiers left who could stand with Niu Yong and not die.

In fact, it was easy for the people to kill Niu Yong, but they didn't do that, as for the reason, Niu Yong didn't want to think about it. For for him, there is no difference between dying today and dying tomorrow.

The water behind him was still flowing quietly, there used to be all Niu Yong's hopes, but now Niu Yong didn't even want to look at him again.

It was as if with the shattering of his hopes, all the beliefs that Niu Yong insisted on also collapsed, and the quiet bathing water could not wash away the dust that fell on Niu Yong's heart.

"Brothers, let's go. You don't have to wait here to die. You're all good. ”

In a few words, Niu Yong said it extremely easily, so much so that Niu Yong suddenly found that this was the most comfortable order he gave when he joined the service of Lihua.

No longer have to worry about military orders, no longer have to weigh gains and losses, no longer have to calculate wins and losses. A few simple words saved the lives of hundreds of people, so Niu Yong couldn't help but suddenly be happy.

He watched as the exhausted soldiers supported each other in the direction of Huangyin City after receiving his orders, and they were silent and did not even leave a word as they left.

Niu Yong suddenly felt a little lost, he originally thought that these soldiers would say goodbye to him, and it would be best to say some impassioned words, but what he was expecting did not happen, just like the people and boats he was looking forward to on the water, which never appeared.

Suddenly, Niu Yong began to laugh "haha", and this laughter suddenly made some crows attracted by the thick fishy smell emitted by the sea of corpse mountains and blood startled.

After laughing for a long time, Niu Yong picked up the weapon on the ground who didn't know who, and he struggled to stand up with the weapon.

He turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him who had long disappeared into the night, then turned his head to look at Muyang City in the distance, and said to himself:

"The injuries on my body are so painful, I originally wanted to wait until tomorrow to kill a few more Rong people.

Alas, forget it. I'm really tired.

Mother, the child is coming. ”

As he spoke, Niu Yong used all his strength to stab the weapon in his hand into his heart, which was already in tattered armor, exposing his chest.

"Poof", only to hear the sound of Changge's sharp blade piercing into the flesh immediately reached Niu Yong's ears, and Niu Yong also let out a miserable scream.

"Ah, it hurts."

Niu Yong suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have been a butcher, and that killing countless creatures every day had caused countless living beings to suffer the pain he had suffered at this time. He still regretted a little, regretting why he didn't go find a sword to wipe his neck off.

But the pain had finally appeared, and the helpless Niu Yong had no choice but to endure the pain and put the bottom end of Changge against the soil, grinning and shouting again, and threw himself forward with all his strength.

The roar quickly disappeared completely in the night, and Niu Yong's body also stood upright on the top of the dirt slope, facing the direction of Muyang City, and his feet were covered with his robes and the corpses of those Rong people.

At this time, a crow's scream of "wow wow" landed on Niu Yong's shoulder.

But not long after, the sound of paddles suddenly came from Mushui in the distance, and the crow that was about to peck at the corpse was also frightened and flew into the dark sky.

Not long after, behind the dirt slope where Niu Yong's army was originally camped, more than 100 light boats appeared on the calm water.

.......

"Zuo Daren, I set out early yesterday morning to prepare to meet General Niu, but I didn't expect that those Rong people had already set up a wooden barrier in Mushui, it seems that they had been preparing for us to attack Muyang City from the waterway a long time ago.

In the following half a day, the last general sent people to clear the obstacles in the water, and at the same time sent thousands of light horsemen to Muyang from the land to pick up General Niu, but he did not expect to encounter the Kunpeng cavalry from Muyin City on the way to guard General Niu's retreat.

The last general saw that the Kunpeng army was outnumbered, and the strong attack would not help at all, so he had to withdraw the light cavalry and concentrate on repairing the Mushui waterway.

When the sun went down and it was just getting dark, we finally broke down a wooden barrier and successfully reached the place where General Niu was.

However, we found that the soldiers and horses under General Niu had been wiped out, and General Niu had also been martyred.

Because the place where General Niu was martyred was too close to Muyang City, after the last general sent General Niu's body to the boat, he took advantage of the night to rescue more than 300 seriously injured brothers in the pile of dead and hurriedly returned.

However, when we returned to Huangyin, we found that nearly half of our brothers who were seriously injured had died on the way. ”

Liang Qingshu lowered his head and told Lihua about how he went to rescue Niu Yong and his party, but Gao Yunce and the rest of the generals clearly saw that Liang Qingshu's tone when he spoke was flat, as if he was not telling the sadness that his entire army should be destroyed, but as if he was talking about the annihilation of a whole army that had nothing to do with him.

This is a world away from Xi Zihui's earlier description of the annihilation of Huang Yunhe's army.

But it was this calmness that everyone could feel, Liang Qingshu seemed to be trying his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, and once this emotion broke out, it would definitely be able to release the power of Wanjun.

"Well, Ben knows better."

Zhu Lihua waved his big hand and said softly as if he was a little sad.

"You and General Xizi have worked hard this time. Ben will definitely do a good job for you.

General Gao, I order you to bury General Niu and those soldiers who died in battle, and let the three armies in Huangyin City go to see them off. They are all heroes, and their death in exchange for General Wei's smooth entry into Lishan can be said to have made an immortal achievement, and they will all become models for future generations to follow.

In addition, go and send a military report to Yaoping, and ask the king to give them a knighthood and reward. ”

"Whoa!"

After Lihua's words fell, Gao Yunce, who had been ordered, immediately turned around and left Lihua's mansion, and the generals looked at Lihua and seemed to be extremely sad and lowered their heads after a long silence, and then they all said goodbye and left, except for Liang Qingshu.

Everyone knew about the relationship between Liang Qingshu and Lihua, so seeing that he didn't plan to leave Lihua's mansion, everyone didn't think there was anything abnormal. Besides, they knew that Liang Qingshu must have been holding back his stomach and wanted to make it clear to Zhu Lihua.

Because he only looked at Liang Qingshu's abnormality, he knew that this important person who was in charge of all the soldiers, horses, grain and grass logistics in Hedong County must have wanted to say something to Lihua alone.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Zhu Lihua suddenly looked up at Liang Qingshu and said:

"Why didn't Brother Liang go to rest, do you have something to say to me?" ，

Liang Qingshu's words suddenly made Liang Qingshu angry. He snorted coldly and said:

"Zuo Daren, in the future, Brother Liang's title must not be mentioned again, you and I are different from each other, and adults must not lose their dignity and inferiority.

Don't forget, my lord, although I am also the deputy general of a country, I am only a common man after all, and my lord's aristocratic status is hereditary, how can I be called a brother and sister to a pariah? ”

Looking at Liang Qingshu, who was furious, Zhu Lihua raised his hand and pointed to the case in front of him and said: "Why is Brother Liang suddenly angry, I am also very sad that General Niu died, this is by no means a hypocrisy, why should Brother Liang be sarcastic to me."

Does Brother Liang think that I, Lihua, cares about the common people and nobles? ”

"Hahaha".

As soon as Lihua's words fell, he heard Liang Qingshu suddenly laugh, as if he had heard extremely ridiculous words, he couldn't close his mouth with laughter, and tears of laughter flowed all over his face.

"Smack!"

Suddenly, I heard Lihua slam the table, and then he pointed at Liang Qingshu and shouted urgently: "Liang Qingshu, you can say anything, why be crazy here."

Do you know that now you have the grain and baggage of all the soldiers and horses of Great Qin, and I am the commander of the three armies of Great Qin.

You and I are crazy here, if people listen to it, let the soldiers listen to what kind of results! ”

The angry shouts of Lihua not only frightened the two Sumeru wolves at the door and hurriedly ran in, but when they were about to grin their teeth, they saw that the object of their master's angry rebuke in the house turned out to be Liang Qingshu, who was quite familiar to them on weekdays.

So for a while, they had to keep looking at Liang Lihua and Liang Qingshu at a loss.

And the several pro-soldiers who rushed into the house with the two wolves were also like the two white wolves, and after the initial nervousness, they also looked at a loss.
