The night is vast, the cold and snow are vicissitudes, the wind is like a knife, the howl is like a wolf, Xu Zhen is stumbling, he is in a panic and flees, the shadows behind him are like clouds and mist like ghost light, he can vaguely see people's faces, he chases and bites tightly, his feet are like a quagmire, Xu Zhen, who is weak, finally stumbles on the ground, his hand touches his waist, the long knife is not around, and he suddenly panics!

The thousands of ghostly faces were fierce, like a tide and waves, completely drowning Xu Zhen in the darkness!

"Ah!!h

Xu Zhen suddenly exclaimed, the white light in front of him flickered, only to realize that he had a nightmare just now, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, he let out a long breath of turbidity, but he sighed lightly.

In the battle a few days ago, Brother Salle and Brother Rouran were killed and wounded, and most of the Yongwu Battalion was damaged, Xu Zhen had more than ten injuries on his back, and his hands and feet were numb and cold every night at first, and he couldn't sleep for a while, and then he finally borrowed Moya to apply a calming medicine to disperse, so that he could sleep for three or two hours, but he couldn't escape this damn nightmare.

The drowsiness was dispelled in an instant, Xu Zhen wiped his face, put on a robe, took a long knife, and walked leisurely in Zhangye City, looking up at the star dome, and a little desolation swelled in his heart.

He has been in bed for three days to recuperate, the wound has begun to heal, although his fists and feet cannot be used, but his actions are free, but Gao Zhensheng has led a large army to enter Zhangye, and is discussing with Qi Bi He Li the plan to support Li Jing.

This Gao Zhensheng is worthy of being a good person, he did not entrust the recruits who had no combat power to Xu Zhen that day, but picked a brave battalion with force but no discipline, so that Xu Zhen could not control the situation, could not suppress the brothers of the brave battalion, even if he won the raid, the credit would also need to be divided by the governor of the capital, and the brothers under his command were dissatisfied, but they could only slander each other.

When the soldiers in the army saw Xu Zhen's arrival, they all cast their eyes in respect, and the soldiers of the Chebi Department had seen the funeral of Xu Allah holding the two parts of Sar and Rouran a few days earlier, and Xu Zhen, as a Zoroastrian priest, presided over the flying ceremony, sang the Bible, and shook the heart.

When the tone dragged on, and the chant with its own rhythm gradually dispersed, the surviving brothers of the second division of Sale Rouran sang and sang the scriptures along with the rhythm, which attracted the hearts of the fire worshippers in the Qibi tribe, and then when they saw Xu Zhen, they would bow down and salute and call Yerbo.

Among them, there are many people who have heard of Xu Zhen's achievements, and secretly took a name for Xu Zhen, called the firewood burner, which means that where he has passed, the divine fire burns all the barbaric firewood, so that the enemy hears the wind and scatters his courage, and he goes everywhere and has no disadvantage!

The woodburner is the most expressive, not the identity of the gods, is the long knife ear in Xu Zhen's hand, this knife is not in line with the system, it is narrower and longer than the horizontal knife, slightly curved but not like the wild knife bend, throughout the army, only this one owns, as if it has become the logo of Xu Zhen, plus Yinzong and Gao Heshu and other brothers preach the miracle of walking on the water and summoning fire in the void, and the superstitious people of Xu Zhen in the Qibi Department are increasing day by day.

Zhou Cangzheng was fighting with Qin Guang, and when he saw Xu Zhen coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, for fear that the latter would harm the wind and cold and erode the old wounds, but Xu Zhen waved his hand to show that he was okay and continued to inspect the brothers' barracks.

After this battle, the brothers of Xu Zhen's headquarters and the remnants of the Yongwu Battalion became more and more harmonious, although they were not satisfied on the surface, but they admired each other more, the former had the sympathy of not fighting and not knowing each other, the latter was even more side by side through life and death, and Gao Zhensheng shamelessly took some credit, and many brothers were also regarded as the same enemy, standing on the united front.

Gao Heshu picked up the famous soldier blade of the enemy chieftain on the same day, and wanted to return it to Qin Guang, after all, it was Qin Guang who killed the warrior.

However, Qin Guang was accustomed to double swords, and his arm strength was not as good as Gao Heshu, and he could only destroy the heavens when he took this iron thistle terrestris bone, so he gave it generously, and Gao He Shu could not repay it, so he gave Yuan Rong a crossbow on his body, Qin Guang had already seen the power of the crossbow, and accepted it without shyness.

This may also be Xu Zhen's luckiest, every time he experiences a battle to the death, the brothers not only did not abandon him, but became more and more condensed around him, this loyalty and friendship, made him feel guilty in the heart of the lord with a sheep's head, if he was not resolute enough, the brothers would not have died and injured so tragically.

Zhou Cang and Qin Guangsheng were afraid of touching Xu Zhen, so they didn't dare to say more, but they followed silently, Xu Zhen felt ashamed of his brothers, and he didn't drive them away, but the brothers behind him spontaneously followed, gathering more and more, and slowly converging into a long dragon, solemn and heavy.

Xu Zhen took the lead that day, covered in blood, fighting with the enemy like a mad dog desperately fighting, none of the brothers was unconvinced, the winner was like this, what more could the husband ask for?

When they arrived at the headquarters camp, Yinzong and others all stood up to greet each other, and the brothers behind Xu Zhen gathered together one by one, surrounding Xu Zhen in the camp, although they did not speak, but let Xu Zhen feel their understanding and support, iron-blooded good men, no need to say a word, but in the most clumsy way, to their main general, to express their loyalty and understanding.

Shi Zan and Hou Poyu and Zhang Shenzhi were all in the camp, standing in front, seeing that their morale was low, but their eyes could not hide their suppressed anger, the three of them immediately looked at each other and sneered, and then saluted Xu Zhen and said: "Du Wei, you want to avenge the dead brothers!" ”

Xu Zhen couldn't help sneering in his heart, if he wants revenge, it is also a matter for me Xu Zhen and my brothers, how can the three of you have a brother in my Xu Zhen department?

However, the other brothers were worried about the dead heroic soul all day long, and their anger could not be vented, and they were either dull and healing their wounds all day long, or fighting to vent their anger, and the words of Duan Zan and the three of them were tantamount to pouring boiling oil on top of the smoldering fire!

"Captain's revenge! Revenge! ”

Many brothers responded one after another, the sound became more and more loud, and the neat shouts were shocking, so that Xu Zhen was particularly unbearable, he felt something, the original cold heart, slowly warmed up, this hot current continued to surge, gathered in his eyes, and his eyes were red, he looked around at the brothers, and couldn't say words of gratitude, but slowly pulled out the long knife, looked northwest, his chest rose and fell, and he cut his hair to swear and say: "Revenge!" ”

Many brothers were bloody, their chests burned with rage, and their eyes were red and they shouted in unison with their lords: "Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! ”

When the soldiers of the other battalions in the city heard the movement, they thought that there had been a camp mutiny, and they raised troops to surround it, gathering people to make noise late at night, which was a serious crime against military discipline.

However, he did not stop his own lord, even if he stopped Xu Zhen, he could not stop this group of angry brothers, if the lord did not act like this, it is impossible to say that the hatred and anger squeezed in the hearts of the brothers could not be vented, and then it would really lead to the rebellion of the camp.

Xu Zhen saw that the soldiers of the other battalions gathered around, and his mind instantly calmed down, and most of his subordinate brothers were unruly, especially the Yongwu battalion with the heaviest casualties in this battle, if Xu Zhen did the eggless coward who didn't dare to take revenge, they wouldn't follow Xu Zhen anymore!

At this time, the anger in the hearts of the brothers had just been ignited by Duan Zan and the others, but the other sergeants were swords against them, and the brothers who were about to lose their minds grabbed their respective blades!

At this point, Xu Zhencai's heart was cold, he didn't expect that he almost pushed the brothers from his headquarters out of the fire pit with a single thought, and he was even more disgusted and hated by the Hou Duan trio, no wonder Gao Zhensheng continued to place these three people in his battalion!

Glaring at the three of them fiercely, Xu Zhen slowly walked to the front of the formation, stood in front of many brothers, raised the long knife flatly, and the shouting of the brothers stopped, but he held down the head of the knife and glared angrily at the Tang soldiers around him.

Qi Bi He Li is the head of Zhangye, hurriedly came to see, and he blamed Xu Zhen for being reckless, if he was caught by Gao Zhensheng and insisted on letting go, the guilt was not light, and he Qi Bi He Li might not be able to suppress it, and besides, this Xu Zhenbu seemed to be really suspected of mutiny and bombing the camp at this time!

Seventeen prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings in the army are not child's play!

Sure enough, after not seeing for a long time, Gao Zhensheng, the governor of Lizhou, was surrounded by many pro-soldiers, and he came with a fierce look in his eyes, which was obviously very displeased.

"Xu Zhen! What are you going to do! It can be seen how to deal with violating military discipline, and it is difficult to wait for you to take credit for yourself! Gao Zhensheng scolded angrily, and immediately put Xu Zhen on the hat of self-reliance.

Many brothers have long been dissatisfied with Gao Zhensheng's strategy and behavior, if he hadn't pressed the army in Jie Dan and drove Xu Zhenbu to go alone, Xu Zhen would not have taken the risk to choose to steal the camp, and the brothers would not have died tragically on the battlefield.

Xu Zhen's heart turned sharply, and he was bound to suppress the anger of the brothers, otherwise there would really be a conflict tonight, and everything in the past would be wiped out.

"Please forgive me, the former has many sons and daughters charging into battle, risking more swords and arrows, robes and killing the enemy, and there is a lot of anger in his heart, and he swears tonight, but he asks the two generals for his life, and allows my battalion and brigade to go north to attack the enemy to avenge the blood!"

When many brothers saw that Xu Zhen really asked the general for his life, the more angry they became, and they shouted in unison: "Go north to take revenge!" Revenge in the north! ”

Gao Zhensheng subconsciously glanced at Hou Duan and the others, knowing that his treacherous plan succeeded, he sneered in his heart, although this Xu Zhen has the courage to learn, he is actually a brainless stream, and now his brigade headquarters has suffered a heavy blow, and the rest are only five or six hundred people, and he really wants to ask for his life to go north, which is an ending of death.

This Xu Zhen has violated military discipline not once or twice all the way, and every stroke has been recorded by Hou Poyu, plus the mistake of plotting to bomb the camp tonight, after winning the class, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the army for a long time!

With the friendship between Xu Zhen and Li Mingda, the latter is bound to move any available forces to protect Xu Zhen, and then it will be involved, and then wait for the opportunity to remove Li Mingda, and then be able to eliminate all the fighting forces in one pot, this is the core of Hou Junji's plan!

Sure enough, seeing that Xu Zhen had no choice but to ask for his life, Qi Bi He Li hurriedly mediated and mediated, and said undoubtedly: "Brother Xu really has a lot of loyal and brave men under his command, He Li is about to send troops north to investigate the situation in the horse farm of the Ashina Military Headquarters, why don't you let Xu Duwei take over this important matter, okay?" ”

Xu Zhen knew that Qi Bi He Li was protecting himself, and he didn't wait for Gao Zhensheng to speak, so he immediately bowed and said: "Xu Zhen will not disgrace his life!" ”

Seeing that Qi Qi He Li nodded, Xu Zhen continued: "General, a certain tour department has been traumatized, the soldiers have been sharply reduced, the structure should be streamlined, and there is no need for too many captains, I don't know if I can cut it myself?" ”

He Li knew the past of Hou Duan and Zhang from it, and immediately understood Xu Zhen's picture, and resolved loudly: "Xu Duwei is loyal to the country, and he is a model in the army. ”

Gao Zhensheng snorted coldly, there was a lot of displeasure on the surface, but the strategy had already begun to take effect and ferment, what was needed was just time, it was better to take Hou Poyu and the others back, so as not to change halfway, and if Hou Junji, the precious son, was broken, he couldn't afford the latter's anger.

Now that the order has been obtained, many brothers have also been appeased by Zhou Cang, Qin Guangyinzong, Gao Heshu and other backbones to return to the camp without mentioning it, but Xu Zhen frowned and began to think about his plan to go north to kill himself.
