Chapter 66: Look at which side God is on
"My lord, don't you want me to die?" This sentence frightened Hao Jian all of a sudden, I really want you to return to your fiancé, why did it become that I want you to die?
However, when he saw the helplessness, desolation, grief and indignation in Qi Xuan's expression, he suddenly understood, and knew that what he said just now was really a bit Meng Lang.
This is not a modern world, but an ancient world, although it is not the ancient world he knows, but it should also be a world where rituals and religions prevail.
Just imagine, a twenty-eight-year-old girl fell into the hands of horse thieves, the whole family died, but you yourself didn't die, even if you returned to your fiancé, would her fiancé, who was a general of the court, still want her? Will you still marry her? I'm afraid that it would be enlightened not to force her to commit suicide to show her chastity.
People are terrible, even if she doesn't go back to her fiancé and returns to her hometown, the contemptuous eyes and vicious words of the villagers who know that she has been in a den of thieves will make her collapse.
A woman who has been trapped in a den of thieves, who will believe you if you say you are innocent? All people will feel that you are dead to prove your innocence.
This is the ugliness of cannibalism.
Thinking of this, Hao Jian was really shocked into a cold sweat, if he really insisted on sending her away, it would really be murder.
"It's me Meng Lang, so I won't mention it in the future. If you want to stay, you can stay forever. If you want to leave, you can do so at any time. I am here in the land of freedom, and I will not restrict your freedom. Hao Jian sincerely apologized.
Looking at the sincere man in front of him, Qi Xuan suddenly felt that his heart, which was about to be completely annihilated by despair and pain, suddenly breathed some fresh air, and his face showed a trace of gratitude.
"Thank you, sir." Qi Xuan gently got rid of Hao Jian's hand holding her arm, bowed lightly, and then turned to leave.
Looking at her slender back, Hao Jian sighed and turned back to the conference hall.
This is the tragedy of the whole era, there are so many such things, how many can he save?
If we really want to save more innocent people, we need to change the world completely.
How to radically change? The most fundamental way is to become the most powerful person in the world to make the biggest change.
How long this road is, I don't know how big this world is, I think about it a little too much, young man, let's eat first, Hao Jian shook his head self-deprecatingly and returned to the dining table and began to eat.
It's just that because of Qi Xuan's incident just now, this meal tastes a bit like chewing wax.
However, he still tries to let himself eat more, he wants to make his body stronger, a strong body can carry a strong will, can carry a heavier mission, and let him bravely face all the difficulties and dangers in the future, bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
Stuffing the last bite of food into his mouth and wiping the corners of his mouth with a cloth towel, Hao Jian suddenly remembered Ran Wu, I don't know how he went to reconnoiter the battlefield, and it was almost time to come back.
"My lord, my subordinates are back." Just as he was thinking about it, heavy and powerful footsteps sounded in the courtyard, Hao Jian turned his head and looked, which one was not Ran Wu?
hurriedly greeted him and pulled Ran Wu closer to the council hall.
"Don't worry, eat first. Come and serve a meal to Commander Ran. Hao Jian shouted outside.
Soon, a maid came up with the same meal as Hao Jian just now.
Hao Jian and the generals ate the same meals, and they never had any small stove treatment.
Ran Wu was not polite, gobbled up the food, wiped his mouth and began to report the situation of this battlefield reconnaissance.
"My lord, after careful investigation by his subordinates, the terrain of this wild boar slope is basically the same as what the military advisor said, and it is summer now, and the woods on both sides of the mountain road are more lush, if there are people and horses hidden in it, if you don't walk to the front, you can't see any clues from the outside." Ran Wu said in a deep voice.
"That's the best, and with this terrain, we've got a good location. But what else have you discovered? Hao Jian clapped his hands excitedly and asked again.
"Just as I was about to report to the adults, my subordinates found several groups of Tartars passing through the wild boar slope valley and heading southwest, obviously heading for Datong City. After careful observation, the subordinates found that these Tartars did not have the awareness to search the dense forests on both sides at all, and they all directly hit the horses, and it seems that as the military advisor said, these Tartars did not think that anyone would set up an ambush here. There was even some excitement in Ran Wu's voice.
"Great, this discovery is very important, so if the Tartar is not hit, it will not be tolerated. You've been gone for two days, and a lot has happened. Hao Jian raised his eyebrows, said with great joy, and told Ran Wu about Hai Dongqing's surrender and the arrival of the Tartar envoy.
"In this way, God really helps the lord, the time and place are favorable, and this battle will definitely be won." Ran Wu said excitedly.
"Not bad. Therefore, this time we can only win and not lose, otherwise the situation in the future will be very passive. I've thought about it carefully, and when the time comes, the main force responsible for the ambush will be commanded by you, and you can just cut off the camera. I took the cavalry and mixed in with the horse thieves to support the baggage team led by the Tartar Tong Yangxing.
Let's let go of their main force this time, and we will specially pack up their baggage. When the time comes, we will echo inside and out, and we will definitely wipe out the Tartars' baggage troops in one fell swoop. As long as the Tartar grain and grass are lost, let's give them some condiments, the Tartars will inevitably shake the hearts of the army, and if the Datong City is not good to attack the city again, the possibility of the Tartars withdrawing will inevitably increase. ”
Hao Jian went through his own arrangements one by one, and then carefully deduced some details with Ran Wu, and felt that there were basically no major loopholes before stopping.
"My lord, I hope that we have spent so much effort this time, and Datong City will not be lost." Ran Wu suddenly said.
"The matter of war is to plan things in people, and we have made all preparations, but if God wants to stand on the side of the Tartars, there is no way to do it. We have done everything that needs to be done, and I only hope that the defenders of Datong City will not be too hasty, otherwise it will be in vain for our hard work. Hao Jian leaned back in his chair and sighed.
Indeed, nothing is foolproof in this world. And this time, in order to ensure that Datong is not lost, I can't talk to the Datong defenders about what I have done, so I can't talk about any coordinated operations. Although the two sides were actually friendly forces, the Datong defenders were unaware of their existence at all.
So this battle really depends on God on that side.
