Chapter 178: Tortoise and Hare Race
Pei Yuanshao led his troops into the city, and those who surrendered along the road were not killed, and those who dared to resist were all slashed.
Pei Yuanshao sent someone to take care of the horse shed and fenced it off to prevent people from approaching, and he himself led the team to kill the other city gates.
Li Chuan slowly picked up the dead corpses in the rear! He had dismissed the soldiers and wandered alone, devouring the vitality of the dead corpses everywhere.
The amount of vitality at the dantian skyrocketed, and it was estimated that he would devour more than fifty dead corpses on the east gate, and he could not find the dead corpses, so he could only go to other gates.
"Looks like I'm going to have to open another vein."
Li Chuan walked on the road, there was too much vitality in the dantian, and if the dantian did not open up the capacity space in time, he might suffer internal injuries, so Li Chuan planned to open another hole.
The last time I opened the acupoint was the Neiguan acupoint, so this time I will open the outer Guan acupoint.
When Li Chuan was walking on the road, he had already intentionally or unintentionally begun to guide the vitality in the dantian to flow into the outer guan acupoints, open up the meridians, and seal the vitality.
The city was already in chaos, but most of them were soldiers running, and ordinary people didn't dare to go to their homes at all, so they all hid in their homes and shivered.
By the time Li Chuan came to the West Gate, Pei Yuanshao had already controlled all the city gates, and when he saw Li Chuan coming, he hurriedly went over to say goodbye, saying:
"Military advisor, the guard general Tian Guang left Changheng from the south gate with about a thousand soldiers, what should I do now?"
Li Chuan looked around and saw that the big guys were all drenched in the torrential rain, so he said in a loud voice: "Gather all the soldiers, as well as those who surrendered, let them take us back to the barracks to rest, and we won't chase them tonight." ”
"Understood." Pei Yuanshao nodded, and then went to gather the soldiers.
Li Chuan instructed the four centurions to send someone to transport the dead bodies to him, and no one doubted any excuse.
Gather the corpses, burn them tomorrow, beware of the plague, look at this excuse, there is nothing wrong with it.
More than 200 people died tonight, which is not too much, because most of them surrendered at the first time, and Li Chuan was even more surprised that he did not die, but there were quite a lot of injured people.
The other three soldiers were unscathed, and they followed Pei Yuanshao's way, and were slightly injured during the siege.
Li Chuan came to a big shed, there was no problem to shelter from the rain, there was a big push of corpses in front of him, Li Chuan endured nausea and nausea, and put his hands on it one by one to absorb it.
In this way, the Devouring Realm must devour the dead corpse, and you have to use the palm of your hand to channel the spirit, as a medium, in order to absorb the residual vitality in the dead corpse.
"In order to improve his strength, Lao Tzu also fights."
Li Chuan's eyes were shining, and he was devouring his vitality frantically.
Why does Devouring Others' Vitality increase so quickly?
Because these vitality qi were all incorporated into the dantian after the hard work of others, Li Chuan could directly incorporate them into his own dantian after devouring them, without going through too much refining.
To put it bluntly, it is to forcibly devour most of the cultivation of the dead corpse before its death, and use it to increase its own cultivation, and the Dafa of Swallowing Yuan is so domineering.
"Strategist, the soldiers have all gone down to rest, are there any arrangements next?" Pei Yuanshao came to Li Chuan's side and saw that he was practicing, so he asked softly.
"Huh!" The corners of Li Chuan's mouth rose slightly, he opened his eyes and glanced at Pei Yuanshao, and said, "Yuanshao, are you unwilling to let Tian Guang go like this?" ”
"Ahem......" Pei Yuanshao, who said the central matter, laughed a few times, then nodded, looked at Li Chuan and explained, "I have this idea, but I also know that the poor Kou Mo chases." ”
"Neither nor not!" Li Chuan shook his head lightly, he naturally knew Pei Yuanshao's thoughts, which was nothing more than wanting to kill the enemy generals and make military merits, which was normal, most generals thought like this, so he asked, "Yuan Shao, have you heard the story of the tortoise and rabbit race?" ”
"Aha?" Pei Yuanshao was stunned, shook his head and said, "What tortoise and rabbit race?" I don't read much, I haven't heard of it, and I hope that the military teacher will give me advice. ”
"There's nothing to teach or not teach, it's actually just a little story." Li Chuan smiled and said, "Since you haven't heard of it, then I'll tell you about it!" ”
Once upon a time, there was an argument between a tortoise and a rabbit, and they both said that they were faster than each other.
So, the hare and the tortoise made an appointment to have a running race, and they competed in the competition.
Before the start of the game.
The hare laughed at the tortoise and said, "Tortoise, tortoise, you have a short stride and a slow climber, how can you outrun me?" You'd better throw in the towel! ”
But the turtle said firmly: "I will definitely win." ”
The rabbit said contemptuously, "Then let's start the game now!" ”
Pei Yuanshao heard it, but Li Chuan didn't say anything, looked at Pei Yuanshao with a smile and asked, "Yuanshao, do you think the rabbit can win or the turtle can win?" ”
Pei Yuanshao pondered for a moment and replied: "Generally speaking, it must be the rabbit that can win, but what the military advisor said must have a deep meaning, maybe the turtle can win." ”
Li Chuan nodded, and then continued to tell the unfinished story.
So the turtle crawled and crawled and crawled desperately!
The rabbit thought it was too easy to beat the tortoise, and decided to take a nap and then catch up with the tortoise, as if that would show that it was even better.
The tortoise kept trying to crawl forward, and by the time the hare woke up, the tortoise had reached the end.
"What does this little story tell us?" Li Chuan asked calmly.
Pei Yuanshao knew that Li Chuan had the intention to test him, so he thought seriously for a few minutes before he spoke: "Don't despise others, you will definitely win the victory if you are steady." ”
"Hmmm! That's a good point. Li Chuan nodded, and said with a smile, "Don't look at it as just a small story, there are actually a lot of implied revelations, but in fact, they are quite applicable to our current situation, do you know what I mean?" ”
Pei Yuanshao fell into deep thought, and Li Chuan devoured his vitality without distraction.
After a long time, Pei Yuanshao raised his head, looked at Li Chuan and said, "The military advisor means that Tian Guang and the others who escaped are like turtles, and we are like rabbits. ”
"By the way, don't you think that's a good description?" Li Chuan said.
"Marching under this kind of rain and wind is indeed a great hindrance, in fact, it is almost like a turtle running."
After Pei Yuanshao comprehended what Li Chuan was going to say, his respect for Li Chuan rose to a higher level, which was not admiration for strength, but respect for knowledge.
"If you are quick and persistent, you will definitely be able to defeat your opponent who is steady and slow."
Li Chuan smiled lightly, said another revelation, and then waved his hand and said,
"Yuan Shao, you should also go down and rest! I'm going to cultivate.
Remember, when the rain stops, that's when the cavalry goes out of the city in pursuit.
Whether you can catch it or not depends on how long this rainstorm will last. ”
Pei Yuanshao nodded heavily, and then left the big shed, he had to go down and arrange it before he could rest.
