Volume 1: The Beacon of the Deer Chapter 12: The Eve of the Great War

The expeditionary force stopped camping before sunset in a group of small hills five miles outside the city of Daguan County, which were not high, and were occupied by all light green tents.

At the top of the hill, looking into the distance towards Daguan County, the bluestone city wall of Daguan County City appeared in the eye.

Guangyuan looked at this bustling city, and a desire to conquer was about to move.

Zeng joined the army cautiously followed behind and asked cautiously.

"Why didn't the general go ahead and storm Daguan in one go? How could they not have thought that the 200,000-strong army would directly attack the city without repairing it. Catch them off guard. ”

"Caught off guard?

Zeng joined the army and realized that his advice was a decision, and he didn't speak.

At this time, a herald ran to Guangyuan and ordered: "General, Zhou Boguang and Han Ning have already arrived in the air, and His Royal Highness the Great Prince has arrived with them, and the three of them are commanding the tent and waiting for the general. ”

"Oh, the eldest prince is also coming to the front line?" Guangyuan was a little strange, and hurried towards the command tent.

In the tent, the eldest prince was dressed in golden light armor, with a young appearance, tall and strong, and at first glance he was a person who often practiced martial arts, and was by no means comparable to those gentlemen. Changing the caution when serving tea and water that day, he looked majestic at this time, and a royal and wealthy cold temperament spontaneously appeared.

Another young man sat on the side, this person had clean skin, a slender figure, a handsome face, clear and flawless eyes, holding a mountain green ink folding fan in one hand, gently shaking it at this time, and then wearing a white robe like a handsome boy of a family. provoked the charming woman standing behind the prince with a goose egg face and an emerald green smoke gauze loose flower skirt, and a pair of big eyes with pale red hook eyeliner frequently flattering her eyes and bowing her head.

The eldest prince held General Guangyuan, who was about to kneel, and Guangyuan was not hypocritical, and stood up straight and hugged his fists.

"I've seen His Royal Highness!"

Then he nodded to the white-robed man and the charming woman.

"Hard work General Guangyuan. The eldest prince also returned the salute with his fists, and then introduced Zhou Boyue and Han Ning next to him.

"I'm here this time, I really can't rest assured that this Daguan battle, of course, this is not questioning General Guangyuan's ability, it is too critical to entrust this Daguan battle, because the speed of this battle is directly related to the speed of a continent in the future. ”

"Moreover, there are many variables in this grand view now, and it is not optimistic. ”

Guangyuan understood the deep meaning of these words, a war involving cultivators would involve many forces, and the existence and destruction of Daguan County would become very complicated and variable.

In other words: the water in Daguan City is so deep that ordinary people can't see the bottom at all.

But the identity of a soldier made Guangyuan dare not have the slightest fear, he assured at the moment.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Daguan County is not to be feared. ”

The eldest prince patted Guangyuan on the shoulder, quite a natural imperial aura.

"I believe in you, General Guangyuan. ”

"You don't have to worry too much about the cultivators, everything is left to us, you just break through the city gate and hang the flag of the expeditionary force on the city wall. ”

After a brief conversation, the eldest prince and Zhou Boyue immediately left the tent.

There was some pungent fragrance in the tent, which made Guangyuan very uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to show it until a few people left the tent before he sneezed twice.

Guangyuan pushes up in front of the sand table, constantly fiddling with the position of the wooden villain of various colors and engraved on his chest in the sand table of Daguan County.

Zhou Boyue, who walked out of the tent, was still followed by Han Ning, ignoring Han Ning's hot eyes. He inquired about the location of Sheng Jun's healing wounds and walked in that direction.

The Grand Prince returned to his tent and began to wipe the hammer the size of his head, over and over again.

In another tent, two cultivators who had arrived two days earlier were sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing their eyes and recuperating.

On the side of the expeditionary force, all the cultivators had gathered, waiting for the drums of the charge.

The red-clothed Nie Ying sat bored on the city wall, swaying a pair of long legs, looking at the group of white-clothed women who conjured up precious cowhide tents out of thin air.

What a group of fairies! Nie Ying, who is also a woman, also had to sigh.

After the women set up their tents and placed a few glowing stones around the tent, the tent became blurred.

"The Ten Thousand Blades Sword Sect is really arrogant, and it also carries the rune array stone, when will my stingy master be able to be generous like this." ”

The formation stone of the Ten Thousand Blades Sword Sect reminded Nie Ying of his stingy master, and his face was full of envy.

"If Miss Nie wants, I can borrow a few array stones from Miss Nie, don't worry, you don't have to pay it back. A thin young man with a sword on his back walked up to the city. The young man with a sword on his back hung a gourd wine jug, dressed in a slightly tattered linen shirt. There is an age-inappropriate beard on his thin cheeks.

Nie Ying glanced back at the young man with the sword on his back, and immediately said in disgust:

"You prodigal, don't pay attention to this girl. Aren't you afraid that a set of rune array stones will empty all your belongings?"

The man with the sword on his back smiled and patted his chest.

"If Miss Nie likes it, even if my Qiaonan Village Ah Yuan goes bankrupt, I will make Miss Bo smile. Manly man, he does what he says. ”

Nie Ying only felt a wave of nausea.

"Bah! Believe your word for ghosts. ”

Ah Yuan didn't seem to hear Nie Ying's taunt, lying on the head of the city, stretching his neck to stare at the tent below, and muttered to himself with an obscene expression.

"These fairy sisters are really beautiful, especially the back of Na Li Yun, looking at it makes people think about it, it's beautiful, it's beautiful. ”

Nie Ying on the side retched again and again, and unceremoniously 'praised':

"Ascend to the disciple!

Ah Yuan turned a deaf ear, still widening his eyes with an expression of enjoyment, and from time to time he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips.

Suddenly, a grain of ice slag mixed with sword qi shot out of the tent and hovered in the center of Ah Yuan's eyebrows.

Ah Yuan subconsciously raised his head and stepped back, raised his hands motionlessly, and stared at the ice slag with a cross-eyed.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!"

Nie Yingle on the side leaned forward and backwards, attracting the soldiers of the squad who passed by to sort out their weapons and equipment.

Wait until the ice slag sword qi dissipates and turns into a drop of water falling to the ground. Ah Yuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva happily.

The bright moonlight shone on the city wall of Daguan County, the city wall looked at the mountain full of lights, there were soldiers sitting on the ground, their backs to the city wall, their minds traveling, and their inner worries made them look up from time to time at the soldiers who were observing the flag of the city on the high place.

Wengcheng has not yet been warned, and although it is tense at this moment, it is so quiet.

The camp of the Tun army in the city not far away was not sleepy at this time, and the irascible leader of the general killed several soldiers who fled with tears, and chased the two panicked soldiers who escaped from another camp gate non-stop.

An Da sat cross-legged in the dark, watching all this indifferently, and more eyes looked at the tent from time to time like Ah Yuan.

In another corner of the city wall, a burly man snored like thunder.

Qiao Nan Ah Yuan chose a hidden position and hung it on the wall of blue bricks, even if he stuck out his head and peeked at the tent where the candlelight was fading, he would not be found.

Nie Ying was still swaying his legs, buttoning his nails boringly, and looking curiously at Huangfu Junjie who was standing silently on the city wall out of the corner of his eyes.

Huangfu Junjie stood on the city wall, looking at the lights of the expeditionary force in the distance, his eyes were deep.

On the side of Daguan City, all the cultivators have also arrived, and they are also waiting for the drums of the expeditionary force.

Far away in the capital of Daxing, in a luxurious mansion on the street near the gate of the imperial palace.

"These little dolls have all arrived?" The national teacher dressed in a Taoist robe sat in the study, holding a book with no title in his hand.

"Back to the master, it's here! Several people reported by the saucer have appeared. The young Taoist priest replied as he stood aside.

"Well, what's the use? It's for Daxingguo to see? It proves that they are officially going to stand on the opposite side of us. Or do they do it for the people of the world? It proves that they care about the people of Luming. Or is it for the people of the mountains to show that they are going to lead this new era that is coming. What do you say?" asked the national teacher, placing the book on the table and gently touching the table with his fingers.

"Will they all be?" replied the young Taoist priest after thinking about it seriously.

"You, you're given three choices, and you choose between those three choices, haven't you thought about anything else?"

The young Taoist priest clasped his hands and made a compilation: "Please also ask the master to make it clear!"

"Will they let these little dolls prove that the people behind them are going to be united? For the sake of the coming era! Of course, what I just said is also proved by the way. ”

The young Taoist priest suddenly realized and nodded again and again.

The national teacher continued: "But what's the use? Isn't it still in my plan? ”

Pondered for a moment.

"Have you figured out all the dishes that have been mixed into the capital?"

"I've sent someone to do this, don't worry, master! They all have a pair of eyes behind them now. ”

"Okay! You've done a good job. ”

"I don't know what the use of these people is, why don't you just kill them all, it's a hundred. ”

The national teacher hated not to become steel, and the knuckles of his two fingers were slightly bent, knocking towards the head of the young Taoist priest.

The young Taoist priest hugged his head in pain, and his mouth uttered "Si, Si." Voice.

"How many times have I told you that killing people is not the only way to solve the problem. Make the best use of things, make the best use of people, people are used for use, and if you kill them all, how can I use them?"

"Master, apprentice understands. I get it. The young Taoist priest rubbed his head and said aggrievedly.

"So, you do it this way......"

The night breeze rose, and with a hint of coolness, he entered countless tents, and the soldiers with their own thoughts helplessly wrapped the thin quilts covering their bodies.

In the dark night, a special warm feeling passed over Tian Mao's body, and he couldn't catch it, Tian Mao, who was sitting on the marching bed, opened his eyes and was drowsy.
