Now Huo Shiqi has no sleep, his bloodshot eyes are wide open, his cloudy eyes are staring at the fire in a daze, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. Duan Si sat for a long time, felt that his body was a little stiff and couldn't stand up, stood up and twisted his arms and kicked his legs and walked a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Seventeen, do you want to eat something and sleep again?" ”

As soon as he said this, Huo Shiqi also felt that his stomach was empty and hungry, licked his dry lips, and asked, "What else can I eat besides mutton?" ”

"You wait." Duan Si went with a smile as he spoke. After a while, he came back with a few pieces of buns and cakes, divided two cakes to Huo Shiqi, and said with a smile, "I know that you can't stand the smell of mutton now, so I will sandwich a few pieces of dried beef for you." There are also two gourds here, and we divide them. "Pick a gourd from your waist and hand it to Huo Shiqi first. Huo Shiqi only drank two sips and returned the gourd to Duan Si, saying: "I'm not good at wine, just have two sips to get rid of the chill, you can drink the rest." I'll eat this meat pie. Duan Siyi smiled, and no longer persuaded him, took the gourd and wiped it, then raised his head and swallowed a few mouthfuls, took a sip of wine, and sat down, took a meat stuffed bun and chewed it.

Huo Shiqi didn't speak, just silently tore the cake and chewed it slowly. Through the conversation just now, he has already seen that although this Duan Si is not surprising in appearance, his talent must be extremely high, although his vision is not wide, he has experience and some insight, and he may have read some books, but he was dragged down by the stinky temper of hob meat and the disrespectful mouth of the upper and lower levels, so ordinary people only treated him as a ruffian in the past. Fortunately, the monk had the vision to promote him, and slowly sharpened it for a little time, maybe it was also the creation of Qian Laosan Zheng Qi. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's a shame that Duan Si met a monk, otherwise this life would really be buried......

The emotion quickly turned into a long sigh. It's been a day and a half since I left Mogan, and I don't know what the situation is over there, after the monk personally led the troops, did he escape or not? If the monk has a good ......

Phew! He immediately spat himself several times for his wrong thoughts. What kind of character is a monk, how could he fall into Mogan's broken village?

But the more I don't let myself think about it, the more my thoughts stick to it and tear it apart. His strengths lie in official correspondence and money and grain account books, and it is absolutely no problem to plan grain and grass for the army to collect and distribute people, and to support logistics, but he is completely a layman in military affairs. He knew that the situation in Mogan was extremely dangerous now, but how dangerous it was, whether the army would be broken and sunk, and whether it was possible for the monk to escape...... He couldn't estimate any of these things. I didn't have the essentials for a long time thinking about the half-pulled cake, so I had to find Duan Si for advice.

Duan Si stopped eating and drinking, raised his face and thought for a while, and said, "Uncle Seventeen, if I say that the Great General Jiren Tianxiang will definitely be able to kill Chengxiang, it would be a lie to you." But if I tell you that the general is a strong man and will never return, it is also a lie to you......"

Huo Shiqi smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, just say whatever you think." ”

Duan Si put the bun and gourd in his hand to his lap, his face was stiff for a long time, one hand slowly pulled the joint of the other hand, and when he was done, he changed his hand and continued to pull, and the clicking sound of one after another made Huo Shiqi's heart thump. In a distraught, I listened to Duan Si's voice calm and empty: "It will definitely be difficult to break after this break, this is needless to say." We only have less than 10,000 people in Mogan, and we are stationed in three places, but the enemy has 25,000 in the west of Heishui, 15,000 in the west of Heishui, 5,000 in the White Wolf Mountain, and even the remnants of Mogan in the north and the defenders of Heishui City are at least 5,000. The enemy is all cavalry, our cavalry is only 3,000, and we are dragging more than 1,000 people......" He shook his head with a wry smile and let out a long sigh, "If you want the whole army to retreat to the old camp in Luhe, the gods can't do it." ”

With Duan Si's words, Huo Shiqi felt a cold air spread from head to foot, and his heart gradually sank. That's how the monk is done?

A voice immediately cried out in his heart: No! That's impossible! When pigs fly! Because he would never believe that the monk was finished!

Although he couldn't accept it emotionally, reason told him that the monk's chances of survival were indeed very small. He finally understood now why Shang Cheng gave so many orders in a row yesterday afternoon, why he promoted himself and Sun Zhongshan unusually, and why he promoted Sun Huan and Shao Chuan. Even with it, he finally believed that Shang Cheng had made up his mind to kill Li Shenyi, and the monk himself knew that there was little hope of returning to Yanshan, and that series of personnel appointments was actually arranging the aftermath...... In this way, no matter who succeeds the monk in Yanshan in the future, as long as Sun Zhongshan, Sun Huan and Shao Chuan are there, the monk's hard work and hard work in the armyization of Yanshan for more than a year can be saved; And to deal with Li Shen is also to get rid of this scourge for Yanshanwei, squeeze out this pus, and remove a roadblock for the Yanshan Admiral behind. He can even appreciate the monk's maintenance and pure friendship with him. With Sun Zhongshan and Sun Huan maintaining them, there will be no major twists and turns in the future when the Huo family is broken; The new Admiral is grateful for his favor in getting rid of Li Shen, and he will also look at himself differently......

A hot current swelled up in his heart, and his eyes immediately filled with tears......

Monk!

“…… Of course, it is not without the slightest opportunity. Duan Si paused and said.

These words are simply the most wonderful sounds of heaven that Huo Shiqi has heard in his life! He asked directly: "Can the monk escape with his life?" Because he was too surprised, he didn't even care about respecting Shang Cheng in front of people, and of course he wouldn't pursue Duan Si's speech. He didn't notice at all that Duan Si's pause was first suppressed and then raised, which was obviously the usual technique of the artists who talked about big books in the tea shop and restaurant when they mobilized the audience's emotions, which was called "pinching the guanzi" one by one.

Duan Si nodded very firmly: "There is a great opportunity." The general issued several military orders yesterday, and no things were allowed to be left in the camps of Heishui Ferry and White Wolf Mountain, but the mountains of grain and grass in Moganzhai were not allowed to be carried, let alone burned, Uncle Seventeen thought, what did the general do this? ”

Huo Shiqi was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. For what? What the hell is going on! He just needs the monk to come out of the grassland alive!

"This is a suspicious tactic!" Duan Si said. It's a pity that there is no "yes" as a footnote, which is a fly in the ointment. It's a pity that it's the middle of the night, and he's in the camp, and his voice is still low, lacking the heroic momentum that everyone is shocked by in one sentence. "You think, the enemy on the west bank of the Heishui River has been frightened by the general, and has suffered a lot of losses, and now it must be a cup of bow and snake shadow, and the shadow of the snake will not be able to live all day; The king of Donglu Valley lived in the White Wolf Mountain for more than ten days, there was a strong enemy blocking the road in front of him, but there were no Zhao soldiers behind him to follow and pursue, if there were no chasing soldiers, why would the general be a praying mantis blocking the car? After thinking about it, the king of Donglu Valley will inevitably be suspicious; He is suspicious, and naturally he will be more cautious; He became more and more cautious, of course, he did not dare to rashly pursue the general, and he had to consider the causes and consequences clearly before he dared to take any measures......"

Duan Si talks about the "big book" at an average level, and his speech is also half-literate and half-plain, and the words used in many places are inappropriate, but the meaning is clear after all. He was only halfway through his speech, and Huo Shiqi already understood. He can't do it militarily, it's not that he doesn't even understand the truth of the strategy of doubting the soldiers, he has been by Shang Cheng's side for more than half a year, and he has not heard people explain the war examples, such as the war, and he thinks about it himself, and he also thinks that Duan Si's words are reasonable. Although Shang Cheng is still in danger, there is also a chance after all.

As long as there is a chance! With the monk's composure and alertness, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out of the grassland!

Thinking about it this way, the heavy stone that weighed on his heart was a little more stable.

Only then did he realize that Duan Si was taking the opportunity of talking about military affairs to give him a "big book", and he smiled calmly while learning the general's demeanor while sitting on the felt carpet, and said with a straight face: "The book is good, but there is no fragrant tea and soup, so I can't give you a reward." ”

Duan Si was also happy, sat down again, picked up the bun and patted the ashes and continued to eat.

Huo Shiqi asked him: "Have you ever read?" ”

Duan Si shook his head: "No." There was no smoke on the ancestral grave, and there was no money for me to study. He also said, "My father and mother died early, and I didn't go with them because of the stuttering of the neighbors." When he was a teenager, he didn't do anything more, and he sold illegal salt on the grassland several times, and later the head of the illegal salt was identified in Duanzhou, and a group of people were all arrested and put in prison. I was young at the time, not yet fifteen, and the officers who came to arrest me were kind, so they didn't arrest me. After that, I didn't dare to sell smuggled salt anymore, so I went back to West Malaysia and became a hunter until the year before last when I entered the grassland with the general. He took a sip of wine, handed the gourd to Huo Shiqi, and when Huo Shiqi shook his head, he withdrew his hand and continued, "Reading is still last year's. At that time, I lived in the same room with Tian Xiaowu and Suza. As you know, those who serve as soldiers are hard, and the difference is on duty, and one station is four or five hours like a wooden stake; In addition to training, training is training, which can suffocate people to death. It is not allowed to drink and play money in the barracks, and without the officer's warrant, you can't go out of the camp gate, let alone wander around the streets, so you can only stare at Fang Liang in the house in a daze. I haven't been disciplined by my elders since I was a child, where can I stand this idleness? When I got bored, I watched the two of them read and write with books all day long, so I followed along to pass the time. Saying that, he grinned, "Don't hide it from you, I know more words than Suza and Tian Xiaowu, and it's no problem to read a document now, but there are often words that are not true when I write." Oh, by the way, words can't be seen one by one," he raised his hand and opened five fingers downward, "it's similar to Wang Ba climbing." ”

Huo Shiqi raised his head and smiled. His characters used to be Wang Ba climbing, last year's Mid-Autumn Festival grinding Shang Cheng wrote a set of regular script stickers, than the book stickers copied for a few months, and now I can finally take it out to meet people. Because he had the experience of being ugly and afraid to see people, he felt extremely cordial when he heard Duan Si talk about it.

He smiled and asked, "You said that you are more literate than Tian Xiaowu, and I see that your knowledge is not lower than his, so why don't you go down and lead the troops like him?" ”

"The Great General asked me before. I don't want to lead the troops just yet. ”

"Oh, you don't want to lead the troops? What's the argument in this? Huo Shiqi asked with some curiosity.

"I'm not in a hurry about leading troops. The general said that the battle with the Tuqi people is not over with the king of Donglu Valley or Heishui City, and it will definitely not be a result in a year or two, maybe it will take a few years or more to fight, or even decades. So I don't worry about not fighting, and I don't have to worry about not having the opportunity to earn credit. I think about it, the general can't always be in Yanshan, and it is impossible to keep me by his side all the time, so I have to seize this opportunity to stay by the general's side for a while longer. Speaking of this, the four also laughed. He said, "By following the general, you can learn more, and it is better than going down to lead the troops." Leading soldiers is a grind, here is ......" he rubbed his hands and didn't know what to say. After a while, he made an analogy, "This is like reading in a county school and a state school." If you go down to lead the troops to study in the county, then following the general is almost studying in the state. He immediately felt that the metaphor was inappropriate. How can it be "almost" with the general? This is obviously better than state learning! What was better than the state school, he didn't remember.

Scratching his chin, Duan Si said again: "In addition, I still have a thought, I want to take advantage of the two years I have been in the general to read more books." He suddenly became writhing, and after a long time he said, "I am fascinated by the people and things that are written in books." Of course, there was more to his heart than that. He had a lot more on his mind.

Although Duan Si didn't say it, Huo Shiqi also understood what he was thinking. The Great Zhao military system, ordinary people from the captain to the general is extremely difficult and harsh, if it is not for the particularly outstanding military achievements, then it must be repeatedly investigated and screened by the Ministry of Officials, and where is the mysterious difference, just look at Shao Chuan's affairs can understand a little. There are two things that Shao Chuan is well-known in the Yanshan Guard, one is that he has not been able to advance in the rank for ten years, and the other is that he is illiterate......
