A feast was dispersed, even if it was a light and turbid wine, Liu Wuzhou seemed to be drunk. He was helped back to his residence by several guards.

Liu Wuzhou's residence in Cloud City was not particular in the first place. When he went on the expedition, the coach was even more shabby to a certain extent.

This lower place is a room at the back of the hall, narrow but can accommodate four or five people, a bed is supported, and a brazier is placed under the bed, but there is nothing else. Liu Wuzhou also often asked people to take out the brazier and hand it over to the guards on duty outside to keep warm, and at night, the room was often as cold as an ice cellar.

Yuan Junzhang watched as several guards supported Liu Wuzhou to return, and arranged guards along the way as he walked. The hall was cleaned and Liu Wuzhou was sent directly to the check-in center. Several guards put Liu Wuzhou on the couch and pulled a few skins to help him cover it. Liu Wuzhou's mouth was full of wine, muttering that he didn't know what he was saying, and muttered a few words vaguely, then turned over and snored loudly.

Yuan Junzhang waved his hand and withdrew with the guards. Walk around the hall and go outside. I saw that in the Renwu Village, the shadows on the wall were full of sergeants patrolling at night. And within the wall, around this hall built a circle of wooden fences, inside and outside the wooden fence, there are guards. The torches were blazing everywhere, and where Liu Wuzhou's Chinese army was, not even a single fly could fly in.

Yuan Junzhang nodded, and said to these personal guards: "You guys stay outside, I'll go and see the eagle strike." ”

These personal guards, all of whom came back from Goryeo with Liu Wuzhou and Yuan Junzhang, just nodded, didn't ask a word, and pressed their sabers to go around the village to monitor the night vigilance. And Yuan Junzhang had a calm face, walked back to the hall, and went straight to Liu Wuzhou's place.

The hall, which had been bustling with activity just a moment ago, was as quiet as a tomb. Only one torch remained, and the faint light of fire flickered in the hall. Yuan Junzhang's face was dark and uncertain, just like his heart.

With the sound of footsteps whispering, Yuan Junzhang had already walked into the inner room. Liu Wuzhou, who was still asleep, had already gotten up and sat on the couch, covering his face with his hands and his elbows on his knees, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yuan Junzhang stood in front of Liu Wuzhou, Liu Wuzhou was still motionless, the two were in such a stalemate for a long time, and Yuan Junzhang's voice broke the deathly silence: "Eagle strike." ”

Liu Wuzhou put down his hands and looked at Yuan Junzhang fixedly, his eyes were dark and unfathomable.

Yuan Junzhang said quietly: "The people have already brought, they have figured out the road, and they have chosen reliable guards, can their subordinates set off?" ”

Liu Wuzhou didn't say a word, and slowly lowered his head.

Yuan Junzhang suddenly erupted: "Eagle Strike, do you know what the situation is now?" We didn't have a baggage squad behind us, we had no food! ”

If the Hengan Eagle Yang Mansion army was here, they would all be so shocked that they couldn't speak.

For a long time, Liu Wuzhou has always told his subordinates that Yunzhong City still has March food. And Liu Wuzhou has never said a word of nonsense over the years, and everyone believes that what Liu Wuzhou said has the weight of iron and stone.

Although the food for March is meager, it gives people a little room to turn around, and there is a little time to toss and turn around to resolve the current crisis. This is also one of the confidence that everyone can barely survive.

But I didn't expect that now there is no food!

It's normal to think about it, Liu Wuzhou forcibly expanded thousands of soldiers in the land of clouds, and also restored the defense line of the border military village, and the army tried its best to collect war horses, mules and other livestock, and one war horse is worth the food of ten people. Tens of thousands of people are short of food, and they also rely on Yunzhong City to live, and they originally wanted to rely on the autumn gathering to hoard some grain, but they were disturbed by the matter of the Nine Surnames Alliance. In this way, in Yunzhong City, there is no food shortage, and Yuan Junzhang is already good at dancing with long sleeves, and he has a good schedule!

In this northern expedition, why can the striker only send six hundred horsemen. It is also because there is no food, and the food for the expedition is twice as much as the food for the camp in peacetime. The grain that can be dispatched for a while is only enough to support such a striker attack, otherwise how could Liu Wuzhou not want to bring more troops? And the Xuanjia cavalry went out to fight, and he also relied on his own accumulated family funds, otherwise Liu Wuzhou could only have three hundred Heng'an armor riders!

And Yuan Junzhang was in Yunzhong City, and he was poor, so he supported more than 1,500 troops and horses to go out to meet him. He also brought less than ten days' worth of food with him, but he said that there was a large team of baggage behind him. But in fact, the inside story is that the baggage team kept up, and it was just an empty car!

Yuan Junzhang forced again: "Eagle Strike!" ”

Liu Wuzhou's figure, which was like a clay carved wood sculpture, finally moved, he just looked at his feet, and said softly: "The main force of the executive force has been destroyed this time, and the morale has fallen to the bottom. The whole army attacked, and when they could quickly drive Zhibihe back to the grassland, they would not dare to peep south for several years............ Is there still a chance to break the game? ”

Yuan Junzhang snorted coldly: "Then you can conjure food?" This winter, we still have to go hungry! We can only go down the path we have agreed upon! After all these years of hard work, I just gave up halfway? ”

Liu Wuzhou was silent, and froze there, not moving for a long time, and even his breathing became slight.

Yuan Junzhang clenched his fists and waved violently in this room: "A certain is unwilling!" In this life, do we all have to succumb to the children of a family like Wang Rengong, let them send, let them command, if you want us to live, if you want us to die, you will die! We came back alive from Goryeo and experienced so many lives and deaths, so it was easy to get to where we are today. The world is in turmoil, and the opportunity to soar is just around the corner, just because of the reputation, I will die, I am unwilling! ”

He looked at Liu Wuzhou fixedly, his voice lowered, and it was as cold as ice: "Eagle Strike, are you willing?" ”

Liu Wuzhou's originally somewhat scattered gaze, after this sentence, gradually condensed until it was as cold as ice.

This............ But how can you be willing!

Why are they, those who work hard for the sake of the Great Sui, but because of their background, they can only be subservient! Even if he returns to Zhenmayi on the orders of the Son of Heaven, he is still despised and humiliated by those sons of the family, and he can't wait for them to die, just because they may steal the position of their family!

They wanted him Liu Wuzhou to be a dog, and he Liu Wuzhou didn't want to do it, it was as simple as that.

That's all!

Liu Wuzhou slowly stood up and looked directly at Yuan Junzhang: "Go!" Be careful along the way............ They are the people who forced us to go down this path! ”

Yuan Junzhang didn't say anything more, bowed deeply to Liu Wuzhou, and turned around in stride.

And Liu Wuzhou looked at Yuan Junzhang's back blankly, sat back on the couch in a dejected manner, and covered his face with his hands again. The firelight thrown in from outside, no matter how it seems, could not tear through the darkness that shrouded Liu Wuzhou's side.

Until he completely merged with the darkness of this era.
