Chapter 142 Jiangshan Road

Wan Yan Shuo saw everyone standing up, and shouted solemnly: "Do you have other countermeasures to prepare grain and grass for the 150,000 army?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

In the crowd, only Liang Jian still raised his head and looked at Wan Yanshuo.

Wan Yanshuo frowned when he saw this, looked at Liang Jian, and his eyes gradually became cold.

The atmosphere became more oppressive, and even Wang Huaiyi felt that there was a dull frightening feeling in the air.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and just when everyone was about to lose it, they only listened to Yan Shuo slowly speak, and said, "Wang Huaiyi!" ”

Wang Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and arched his hand, and said in a loud voice: "My subordinates are here!" ”

Wan Yanshuo looked at him and said coldly: "Have you remembered what I just said?" ”

After hearing this, Wang Huaiyi first quietly glanced at Liang Jian before replying loudly: "Subordinates keep it in mind!" ”

Wan Yanshuo nodded and said to Wang Huaiyi:

"According to my instructions, leave immediately, give you three days, if you can't prepare the required food and grass, come to me!"

Wang Huaiyi's body was shocked, and he was about to agree loudly, but before he could say anything, he saw that he was struggling, and he seemed to stop talking.

Wan Yanshuo's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Wang Huaiyi hurriedly replied: "My subordinates want to ask, in case the people are short of food and grass."

Wan Yan Shuo didn't wait for him to finish, then waved his hand and said, "In Dingbian City, there is a large population, can't you support these displaced people?" ”

Wang Huaiyi hurriedly nodded in response, but a trace of inexplicable love flashed in the depths of his eyes, and after a little contemplation, he replied: "Subordinate, you must complete the task!" ”

Wan Yan Shuo saw that the expression of the former Yingge veteran was a little reluctant, and his eyes flashed strangely, but he didn't have anything else to say, but nodded, and said: "If there is no doubt, you can go down and prepare, and strive to raise food as soon as possible, and the army will rush to Zhongliang and Yaonan at the end of the rainy season." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and said to everyone: "That's all for today, in addition to arranging the city defense and preparing for the Northern Expedition, you must do your best to help Wang Huaiyi and raise enough grain and grass!" ”

Everyone bowed their hands at the same time and replied, "Yes!" ”

Wan Yanshuo nodded and said to everyone: "Do what I tell you." ”

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, as if after hearing these words, they permeated the air for a long time, and the heaviness that made them feel depressed instantly dissipated a lot.

Everyone got up, saluted and left.

For a time, in the huge conference hall, only the main generals of the Northern Expedition and the two route armies, Wan Yanshuo and Liang Jian, were left.

Seeing that everyone's figures slowly disappeared at the door and gradually moved away, Liang Jian, who had been standing stubbornly, suddenly sighed, it was these people in this room, after they went out, they could decide the life and death of many people.

The people have no ants, how despicable!

He suddenly felt a trace of sadness in his heart, gritted his teeth with hatred, and remembered that his life's ambition was just to maintain the peaceful life of the people, but now he deviated from it again and again.

It's as if you've never been on the right path.

But fate is a joke, how can I be willing to walk these many roads?

How unjust Heaven is to him!

I don't know how long it took, when the grief and anger in Liang Jian's heart continued to spread, so that it was difficult to suppress himself, Wan Yanshuo's low voice suddenly sounded:

"Liang Jian, I know that you can't bear to let innocent people be implicated and starve to death in the end, but you should understand that I am already the best way to do this."

After hearing this, Liang Jian hesitated slightly, then nodded, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Wan Yan Shuo looked at his stubborn expression, and suddenly showed a rare look of tiredness on his face, he returned to the chair, looked at Liang Jian, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Sit down." ”

Liang Jian sat down as he said.

Wan Yan Shuo leaned forward, casually pulled over the center of the table, the sign on the map of the city streets in Dingbian City, and after playing with it in his hand, he looked at Liang Jiandao:

"In another hundred years, this city will still be there, but the people who live in it come and go, I don't know how many, today General Liang, you are sitting here, a few months later, I don't know who is sitting here."

Liang Jian frowned, not knowing what Yan Shuo meant.

Wan Yan Shuo suddenly smiled bitterly, leaned back, clenched his fists, the mark in his hand was almost crushed by him, he gritted his teeth and hissed:

"If you want to be in this city, in this land, in this entire continent, no matter how cold or hot, no matter how many thousands of years, if you want the world to remember you, there is only one way to go war, and now the mainland is constantly strife, and the dark tide is surging, for me, it is a great opportunity, so as long as it is beneficial to the Northern Expedition, whether it is the people or the ministers, as long as it blocks my way, as long as it can help me, I will not be merciless, even if I give up the lives of all of them, I will not hesitate, Lord Liang, do you understand?"

Liang Jian frowned, took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "I understand, but I don't agree." ”

Wan Yanshuo nodded and said with a smile:

"People have their own ambitions, Lord Liang wants to be a capable minister of the country, I am full of Yan Shuo to be a hero of the world, with different paths, but also the same end, in fact, they are all for the sake of the country, seeking a stable life for the people, Lord Liang, as long as you and I do not have a mustard heart in the future, and then work together as in the past, after breaking the Yan Kingdom, the people of the two countries will no longer have the scourge of war, and they will be able to enjoy peace forever, what do you say?"

Liang Jian's eyes flashed, and he nodded slowly.

Wan Yanshuo's face turned slightly pale, and then said:

"If our army is allowed to lack food, not only can we not march north, the enemy will even take the opportunity to counterattack, our army is short of food and grass, and cannot resist, once the 150,000 army is annihilated, then the border is in danger, the peace is in danger, the empire is in danger, and the people are in danger!"

After speaking, he turned his hand to the south and pointed in the direction of Pingyan City, as if in an instant, a momentum that looked at the world was re-emanated from him, and said: "Since I am going north, I will never allow the defeat to turn back!" ”

Although Liang Jian was silent, his body trembled slightly.

The two were silent, and after a while, Liang Jian was just about to get up and say goodbye, when he suddenly shook his head, as if he remembered something, frowned, and said to Yan Shuo:

"My lord, this time on the grounds of lack of food and grass, I am afraid that the plundering of the people has been in your plan a long time ago?"

He didn't wait for Yan Shuo to speak, he sneered and continued:

"If it is as expected, the grain and grass of the people of Yan Kingdom entering the city is not enough for my army at all, I am afraid that there are soldiers escorting grain and grass from the direction of Pingyan, and it may not be long before it will arrive."

Wan Yan Shuo's eyes flashed, turned his head, and looked at Liang Jian with a stubborn look in front of him, his face was gentle as usual, but his eyes were like a blade breaking through the air, looking at Liang Jian, and said lightly: "If there are other people present, if you say this, I will kill you without hesitation." ”

Liang Jian hadn't spoken yet, but after listening to Yan Shuo, he had already continued:

"You're right, my purpose is not just for those grains, what I want is for the Yan army to lose its reputation in Dingbian City and even in the entire Yan Kingdom."

Liang Jian was silent, and let Yan Shuo's words continue to sound: "If His Royal Highness Liu Xiu were to sit here, he would do the same as me." ”

When Liang Jian heard this, he suddenly lowered his head and smiled bitterly, turned his head and said to Wan Yan Shuo:

"No, you are wrong, being a king and a general is a man, His Highness's art of governing the world is by no means bloody, in this matter, he will never kill the people, leaving no way back."

Wan Yan Shuo's eyes tightened-

Outside the Dingbian city, a hundred miles away, is a mountainous area, every early winter when the wind and yellow sand weather, the people from all over the country will pass through the Dingbian city, leave the village where they have lived for a long time, and come to the mountains to avoid the wind and sand, and survive the cold winter.

Dingbian is an important military town, in order to prevent the people from following the people in and out of the city, stealing information, the Dingbian defenders will strictly restrict the people from entering and leaving the city, and if they want to travel from north to south and return to the village, the whole process is extremely cumbersome, so the people will generally bring enough food in order to live steadily in the mountainous area, so as not to frequently enter and leave the city and get into trouble.

It is precisely because of this that the people in the mountainous areas do not grasp the news of what happened in Dingbian in a timely manner, and even because the news is blocked, everyone only knows what happened in the winter after returning home in spring.

Year after year, there has never been a change, and although the people in the mountains are inconvenient and have a very hard life, they can finally survive the hardships.

Originally, they treated their sins in the previous life, and in this life, they paid off their sinful bodies, and God punished them, so that they could be reincarnated in a good place after their past reincarnation.

The people are so easily satisfied, as long as they can let themselves and their families live, they can endure the great pain without complaining.

In the night, when everyone was asleep, only a few valleys were sporadic fires that reflected the place red.

The night breeze was blowing, and the light of the torches was uncertain, and the weather was gloomy, as if it was going to rain again.

It was cold in winter and windy at night, Zhang Kui, who was keeping vigil at the mouth of the valley, suddenly sneezed and wrapped his body tightly, as if disturbing the sweet dream of Li Zhuang who was sleeping next to him, the latter turned over and muttered: "Fuck, I'm scared to death, you fuck, you can't be honest." ”

Zhang Kui was already unhappy because of the cold, and after hearing Li Zhuang's words, he was even more annoyed, he stood up, walked in front of Li Zhuang, grabbed Li Zhuang's hair, and pulled him up.

Li Zhuang was in pain, woke up from the dream, he was in unbearable pain, waved his hands wildly, and finally grabbed Zhang Kui's palm, wanting to break Zhang Kui's fingers, but after trying for a while, it was useless, at this time Li Zhuang completely woke up, and scolded in his mouth:

"Zhang Kui, you're fucking crazy! Let go of Lao Tzu! ”

Zhang Kui smiled, his fingers were forceful, and he grabbed Li Zhuang's hair tighter, and scolded in his mouth: "Fuck, you dare to be fierce to Lao Tzu, call Lao Tzu twice Grandpa, Lao Tzu will let you go, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”R1058
