The black warriors did not know the details, and the offensive was suspended.

The emperor knew the details, and the offensive was suspended.

As the emperor expected, if there is a large number of heavenly thunder in his hands, let alone winning this battle, even if he has hope of destroying the black martial arts, at this moment, the emperor feels that the pattern of the world will change because of the appearance of a certain thing, this world is too big, so big that he can see it with his vision, but in case, this world is too small, and it may only change the world because of one person and one thing.

Standing on the wall of another ancient city, watching the black martial army re-formed in the distance to encircle the water of the other ancient city, in fact, the emperor knew very well that even if there was a big killing weapon like Tianlei to deter, the black warriors would not hesitate for too long.

For the black warriors, the battle of taking him as soon as possible as the Emperor of Daning is considered a victory, no matter how much land is lost, Emperor Ning dies or is captured alive, this battle will be the key to turning things around.

"Look at those black warriors."

The Emperor pointed out of the city.

"Most of them are actually ordinary people, but because of their hearts, they have become soldiers."

Pei Tingshan bowed his head: "So Your Majesty was right to order to curb the entry of Zen Buddhism into the Central Plains, religion has too much influence on the people, and once the people are deeply involved, they will lose their nature, and they will feel that they will really be invulnerable, and they will feel that the so-called gods will protect them for a lifetime." ”

"Why don't I dare to relax, my ancestors and even my father and brother, and the successive Daning emperors did not dare to relax, because they all know that if they want to make the people's hearts remain unchanged, they should let the people believe in Daning in their hearts, not what demons and monsters or gods and Buddhas, the people's faith in their hearts remains unchanged, and Daning is Yongchang, but it is not the people themselves who change the belief in the hearts of the people, but Daning, if Daning is weak, then the people will be weak, and the people's faith will be shaken, and Daning will be difficult."

The emperor let out a breath: "I am holding back my strength to fight the momentum that Daning has not seen for hundreds of years, but also to make the people's faith firm in their hearts. ”

Pei Tingshan bowed his head: "The minister is not as far away as His Majesty, and the minister is not as much as His Majesty, the minister only knows one thing to keep in mind at all times, that is, no matter what His Majesty decides, the minister will accompany His Majesty, the direction of His Majesty's finger is the direction in which the minister moves forward with the sword soldiers, and the minister trains the soldiers, and always says to the soldiers that the sword soldiers who do not attack are not qualified, because the minister knows that His Majesty needs a team of people, always moving forward, someone can enter, someone can defend, someone can retreat, and the minister is the person who can enter. ”

The emperor heard something from Pei Tingshan's words, and turned his head to look at him: "You should understand that I would rather lose this hard-won land than want something to happen to you. ”

Pei Tingshan smiled: "The minister has been in the field for so many years, and he will have the heart of death before every fight, so Your Majesty don't have to worry, the old minister spares his life, so he will not be afraid of death in battle, the minister understands the battlefield, and the more he is not afraid of death on the battlefield, the longer he lives." ”

The emperor shook his head slightly: "The battle of invincibility is not what I want, what is victory?" It's not how many enemies you kill, it's that you and I are still there. ”

Pei Tingshan bowed his head: "Minister, remember it in your heart." ”

Half an hour later, in a small courtyard that was cleaned up, Pei Tingshan leaned on a chair and sat under the tree to enjoy the shade, and his personal soldiers led Shen Leng to walk in from outside the courtyard.

But he has that qualification.

"Boy, come and sit."

Pei Tingshan waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to retreat, leaving only him and Shen Leng in the courtyard.

"Sit down and talk a few words, today I will rest in the city for the night, and tomorrow I will go back to the sword camp outside the city."

Pei Tingshan glanced at Shen Leng and pointed to the pu fan placed next to him: "The weather is very hot, shake the fan for me." ”

Shen Leng sat down in front of Pei Tingshan, took a pu fan to fan Pei Tingshan, Pei Tingshan smiled with satisfaction, although he was still arrogant, but there was a flash of relief in his eyes.

Say

Say, what is your impression of me? ”

He asked Shen Leng.

"A role model for seniors."

Shen Leng replied.

Pei Tingshan pouted: "Don't fucking fart nonsense, do you think I don't know what you think?" At the beginning, I sent someone to kill Meng Changan, and I also wanted to send someone to kill you, and I was a model for my predecessors, if you two hadn't scolded my ancestors for eighteen generations in your hearts, I would have your surname. ”

Shen Leng smiled wryly, it was really difficult to answer.

Pei Tingshan snorted: "What else did you really scold?" ”

Shen sneered even more embarrassed.

Pei Tingshan glared at him: "Make a little effort, weak like a girl." ”

Shen Leng fanned his speed immediately.

Pei Tingshan breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, made himself more comfortable on the chair, closed his eyes and stopped talking, Shen Leng waited for a while and found that Pei Tingshan was actually asleep, and it didn't take long for him to snore, the sound was not small, Shen Leng did not leave, the hand-cranked pu fan remained very stable and even, the right hand was sour, the left hand was changed, and the left hand was sore and the right hand was replaced.

Pei Tingshan's personal soldiers outside the door looked back from time to time, and they didn't know what everyone was thinking in their hearts.

For a full hour, Pei Tingshan, who said that he wanted to talk a few words, seemed to sleep very soundly, and after an hour, he woke up, opened his eyes and looked at Shen Leng, and the first thing he saw was the sweat on Shen Leng's forehead.

The arrogant old man was even more arrogant and smiled proudly.

"Look, that's the weight of the general."

Pei Tingshan glanced at Shen Leng: "You can't get used to me, but you have to fan me." ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "I don't look down on the general, it's just that people are far and near, I and Meng Changan are brothers, so I will naturally be on his side, no matter what happened to Meng Changan and Pei Xiao at the beginning, the general is my predecessor, and the seniors in the army are like my father and brother, and it is reasonable for me to shake a fan for my father and brother." ”

"Really?"

"I really think so."

Shen Leng replied seriously: "If the general still wants to kill Meng Changan, I still have to fight against the general, if there is no such thing, I am willing to shake the fan for the general at any time." ”

Pei Tingshan laughed: "Okay, good, you are not discouraged, and you are not hypocritical." ”

He sat up straight: "Are your hands sore?" ”

Shen Leng nodded: "Sour." ”

Pei Tingshan said: "Keep shaking, until you go back." ”

Shen Leng nodded again: "Okay." ”

Pei Tingshan was silent for a while, reached out and picked up the pipe from the side, stuffed some tobacco into it, glanced at the fire sickle next to him with his eyes, Shen Leng put down the pu fan and lit the pipe for Pei Tingshan, Pei Tingshan took a deep breath and spit out the smoke very comfortably, as if he was satisfied to the extreme.

"Okay, don't shake it, I'll treat it as if I don't lose."

Pei Tingshan closed his eyes again, but he didn't have the arrogance on his face.

"I have a son who died, and you lit a cigarette and a fan for me at this time, and I counted you as making up for me."

Pei Tingshan closed his eyes and said, "Since then, you and I have no grudges. ”

Shen Leng was shocked in his heart.

Pei Tingshan continued: "You are a wizard who leads the troops, don't tell me that you didn't understand this battle. ”

"Got it."

"Then tell me, what do you see?"

"In five days, if Wu Xinyu doesn't come, our army will be defeated, and Your Majesty will have to worry about life and death."

"Your Majesty will not worry about life and death, because I am here."

Pei Tingshan let out a long breath of smoke: "You can see it, Meng Changan can also see it, Your Majesty can naturally see it, if this battle continues and there are no reinforcements, we will indeed lose, but if the soldiers of Daning let Your Majesty suffer here, it will be a bunch of waste...... I'll tell you what you think, and you'll see if I'm right. ”

Pei Tingshan leaned back in his chair

He opened his eyes and looked at Shen Leng's eyes: "You and Meng Changan must have discussed, if the city is undefendable, the two of you, one will lead the troops to block the black army, and the other will lead all the cavalry to protect His Majesty to break through, right?" ”

Shen Leng didn't answer, and if he didn't answer, it was already the answer.

Pei Tingshan said: "It's not that I can't trust you two young people, but it's not your turn." ”

Shen Leng's eyes widened suddenly.

Pei Tingshan took a deep breath and spit it out again, swallowing clouds and spitting out fog like an old monster who has become a master, but he is no longer a scary old monster.

"I am a general, I am a brother of His Majesty, if I want to die for Your Majesty, I will be the first."

Pei Tingshan said: "Besides, I can't believe that you can protect Your Majesty's back...... What kind of product are you now? ”

"Zheng Sanpin."

"I am a Zhengyipin, and there are few Zhengyipin in the Daning Army."

Pei Tingshan said: "So I'm not consulting with you, but giving you an order....... After holding on for a few more days, if Wu Xinyu's reinforcements are not available, I will give you all the cavalry of the sword soldiers, and I will bring the infantry to cut off for Your Majesty, if Your Majesty does not leave, you will tie Your Majesty away, remember? ”

Shen Leng was just about to speak, Pei Tingshan shook his head: "I said it, this is a military order." ”

Shen Leng stood up and bowed.

Pei Tingshan smiled: "Why don't you come here and see off the old man in advance?" The old man may not die, how many years have the black warriors wanted to kill me, and they haven't watched the old man live well...... However, if I die, you and Meng Changan will kowtow to me. ”

"Yes!"

Shen Leng's eyes were red, and he stood solemnly and saluted.

"It's still a military salute."

Pei Tingshan said with a smile: "You two are not yet at the age of seeing through life and death, even I haven't seen through it, how can you really see through it, what I firmly believe is that the two of you can die for each other, but I don't trust the two of you to guard the way back for Your Majesty, I am Your Majesty's brother...... Forget it, don't kowtow to me, if I die, you two will give a military salute to the place where I died in battle, and the old man will be happy. ”

He closed his eyes again: "Go back, I'm done with what I want to say, both of you remember to the old man, if the death of the old man can't be exchanged for the peace of Your Majesty, I will not let you go when I die, and I will turn into evil ghosts, so that the two of you die without a place to be buried." ”

"Remember!"

Shen Leng bowed again.

"."

Pei Tingshan waved his hand: "It's still unpleasant to look at you...... No matter how bad Pei Xiao is, he is also my son, and his step-son is also a son, I still look at him pleasing to the eye, don't dangle in front of the old man, worry. ”

Shen Leng nodded, turned around and walked out, took a few steps and stopped, and looked back at the general.

"Soldier, don't grind."

Pei Tingshan, who had his eyes closed, seemed to see Shen Leng stop, with an impatient expression: "You shake the fan, it's really not as good as Pei Xiao shaking the fan under my knees back then, how old was he that year?" I don't remember exactly, six or seven years old...... I sat in the rocking chair and he knelt beside me and gave me a fan to ask for it, and he said uncle...... Take me to the battlefield, I want to be a good soldier, and the men of the Pei family will go to the battlefield. ”

Pei Tingshan's eyes were moist.

"It's my fault that he didn't think he was a good soldier......."

Shen Leng's shoulders trembled slightly.

Pei Tingshan laughed, with a bitter smile: "I can't really forgive you, close my eyes, I can see that little face in front of me, those little hands holding fans and fanning me hard....... I don't forgive, but I know that you are worthy of trust, you are all Daning's soldiers, and you are all Your Majesty's soldiers. ”

"Shen Leng."

The old general sighed: "Don't live up to it." ”

"Yes!"
