Chapter 157: How tragic
The army continued to march, as the battle reports came, Chen Feng's heart became more and more heavy, the peace of the people has not yet been seen, those are all illusory things, but the casualties in front of him are straight to the bone marrow, even if he is unwilling to accept it, but there is no way to escape in his heart, he knows that all this is pushed by himself, but he is helpless, the torrent of history pushes all things in heaven and earth forward.
Chen Feng never thought of retreating, he thought that he might not be able to accept the casualties on the battlefield, and he also did enough psychological construction for himself when death was close at hand, but now he has not yet reached the battlefield, and he heard that the Eastern and Western Turks have their own victories and defeats, and the casualties have exceeded 10,000, 10,000! The number still weighed on his heart and left him breathless.
Looking at the people around him, who had been frowning, Jieli Khan laughed teasingly, "The shopkeeper can persuade me to put the lives of 20,000 cavalry at risk, isn't it that I can't accept it at this time?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Feng was also stunned, yes, all this has already been budgeted, not only will the Eastern and Western Turks have losses, but even the Tang Dynasty will have certain casualties, all of this, isn't it already in mind, why do you have to accept incompetence at this time?
"Tell the truth." Chen Feng sighed, "There is some truth in what the Great Khan said, he is not a military general, he has never been on the battlefield, and he doesn't know much about the war. Chen Feng said quietly.
"So, was the shopkeeper frightened by the casualties at this time?" Jieli Khan asked with a smile.
"To tell you the truth, it's really a bit unacceptable." Chen Feng smiled awkwardly.
In this regard, in fact, Jieli Khan had already guessed in his heart, Chen Feng's current performance was the most reassuring to him, if this person was a businessman, but he could accept the bloody wind and rain on the battlefield and not change his face, he felt that all this was not normal.
You must know that when he killed someone for the first time, he was so scared that he didn't dare to close his eyes for two or three days, and when he went to the battlefield for the first time, he faced the bloody rain and bloody wind, and when the swords and soldiers met, he fought bravely, but after the class returned to the court, he didn't dare to sleep alone for more than a month, and he didn't even dare to eat tea and rice.
When he closes his eyes, he will see the slaughter on the battlefield, full of scarlet, and even in the meal, if he sees meat, he will instinctively think that the severed arms and stumps flying on the battlefield, the clear tea or the goat's milk he wants to get will also turn into a blood red, as if blood is slowly flowing out of the human body or gushing out.
"Have you ever seen a sheep slaughtered before?" Jieli Khan asked thoughtlessly.
Slaughtering sheep and cattle? Is this a consolation? Do you want to treat those casualties on the battlefield as cattle and sheep? It's incredible! However, "I have never seen it." ”
"What about killing chickens?"
Chicken? It's even more outrageous, "I've never seen it." Chen Feng shook his head.
"Why don't you go back to the court first?" Jieli Khan hesitated for a moment and looked at Chen Feng's slightly pale face, he knew that this was not a sickness, but a fright, simply put, a fright.
"Thank you Khan for your concern, it's okay to be here." Chen Feng understood what Jieli Khan meant, but at this time, he really couldn't just return to the court, first, the plan still needed him to follow at all times, and second, if he returned to the court at this time, he was afraid that it would arouse Jieli Khan's suspicion.
"Is the shopkeeper really fine?" Jieli Khan glanced at it suspiciously, he was already like this before he arrived at the battlefield, it was difficult to imagine how tragic he would be after seeing life and death on the battlefield.
"Great Khan, now is the first step, there are still many days to fight on the battlefield in the future, if you can't even overcome the first step, how can you walk the world with the Great Khan in the future?" There was a little helplessness in Chen Feng's voice, but it was more firm.
Jieli Khan can also be regarded as relieved, although it seems that he is very reluctant, but at this moment, when this person forces himself to accept all this, people still can't help but want to praise it, and Chen Feng's sincerity makes him even more unable to doubt it.
"Besides, my young lady won't go back." In the end, Chen Feng straightened his back and added.
Jieli Khan's originally praised eyes instantly became unkind, and he originally thought that this person was in his heart, but he wanted to follow so desperately, but in order to protect his young lady, his heartfelt person was not himself, but Li Zhen'er.
If it weren't for this time, the two didn't have much communication, and the eye contact between Chen Feng and Li Zhen'er was too ordinary, and they couldn't see any other taste, but they were afraid that Jieli Khan would think that Chen Feng had a deep love for Li Zhen'er, so he came to the Turks from Fengcheng without hesitation.
But facts have proved that Chen Feng does not have the slightest ambiguous thoughts about Li Zhen'er, and the reason why he has always been concerned is that he is afraid that it is really because Chen Feng firmly remembers the entrustment of the young city lord of their family.
"I would venture to ask." Jieli Khan didn't know what he was thinking, and his eyes when he looked at Chen Feng instantly became strange.
"Great Khan, please." Chen Feng's head was already muddy at this time, where was he still in the mood to consider whether this Jieli Khan had some crooked ideas, and jumped down even if he followed the pit given by others.
"Shopkeeper, go back and wait for the world to decide, when our class teacher returns to the court, how about I reward you with a few beauties?" Jieli Khan didn't seem to expect Chen Feng to be so easy to speak, but looking at his face, even if he had some doubts in his heart, he couldn't ask blatantly, so he chose a more tactful way.
"Ahh Chen Feng seemed to be taken aback, "This is not necessary, there is no need!" Chen Feng grabbed the reins with his right hand, and his left hand kept swinging.
"Oh......" Seeing this, Jieli Khan stretched out his voice, and there was finally an ambiguity in Chen Feng's eyes that Chen Feng was unwilling to accept, "Is there a place in the heart?" "Well, and gossip.
This time, Chen Feng paused for a while, and a girl's smiling appearance appeared in his mind, sometimes with red sleeves and fragrant gentleness, sometimes delicate and willful cuteness, and the corners of his lips involuntarily hooked up an arc.
Seeing this arc, Jieli Khan can be regarded as understanding why this person takes such care of his young lady, and why he has a pious face when he mentions the young city lord of their family, it turns out that this young man really has a heart.
"Is your young city lord good to you?" Jieli Khan then asked.
Chen Feng couldn't keep up with Jieli Khan's thinking, but he still responded with a smile, "The young city lord is really good to me, he gave me a lot of help when I was doing business, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am today." As he spoke, the shyness brought up by the previous question had not subsided.
