Chapter 277: Don't be a pawn
The next day, Song Qi took Mingyu to inspect the walls of Tiema Pass, and then climbed to the top of the mountain from the secret ladder.
They walked all the way, chatted all the way.
From Mingyu's mouth, Song Qi learned that Marshal Jin had indeed withdrawn, and his army had indeed been abandoned by Marshal Jin.
He was maddened. Hands slapped against the green bricks on the battlements of the city wall in protest.
He didn't know why Marshal Kim did this? Even if you want to withdraw from the army, you have to remind me so that I won't be so aggressive. Even if you want me to stay in Weiguo and be your pawn, you can explain it to me, and I can formulate corresponding countermeasures, try to stay in Weiguo, and come back again after you finish Chen Guo's affairs. You'd better withdraw the army without saying a word.
Luckily, I've won a few battles in quick succession, and if I lose, I won't even have a way back!
From Mingyu's mouth, he learned that the general of Donghai County, Kai Yu, led 50,000 troops to besiege Xuanwu County. Xuanwu County guard Qiu Gang only had 5,000 Chen soldiers on hand, held on for two days, and killed more than 2,000 in battle.
Song Qi had goosebumps on his back. At this time, he was climbing on the ladder, and when he heard this, he almost fell off the ladder by mistake.
If this is the case, then their army will be attacked on both sides, and there will really be no way to return - no, not no way to return, but no place to die.
This Marshal Jin actually regarded me as a pawn crossing the river, regardless of it, he was too inconsiderate, too inauthentic, and too unbenevolent!
Mingyu heard from Song Qi's mouth that Qiu Erji's ballista and stone-throwing car were powerful, not only was he a little frightened. From the ruined walls and the collapsed houses in the city that have not yet been repaired, you can see the great power and lethality of the stone throwing trucks.
When they reached the top of the mountain, the two of them leaned side by side on the battlements of the city wall on the top of the mountain, and their four eyes looked down on the entire Iron Horse Pass. In the face of the great rivers and mountains, both of them had no intention of looking at the scenery, and were thinking about what to do next.
Song Qi's hands either kept touching his nose or rubbing his temples from time to time.
Mingyu held her chin in her hand and thought quietly.
After a while, Mingyu seemed to have an idea, she turned her face to Song Qi and suggested: "Brother Song, since Marshal Jin has withdrawn to the Chen State, I am afraid that it will be difficult for his cause of revenge to continue. Why don't we withdraw our soldiers and horses to Xuanwu County. With these soldiers and horses in our hands, plus General Qiu Gang's men and horses, Xuanwu County should be safe. Besides, Xuanwu County is close to the border of the Chen State, and once there is a disturbance, we can quickly return to the Chen State. ”
"You're right! I don't want to be a pawn either! Song Qi waved his hand irritably, "But there is no need to retreat to Xuanwu County." Although Marshal Jin's revenge cause is unsustainable, we still have to avenge your father. Now, we have more than 100,000 troops on hand, which is not a small force. When Marshal Jin set out from Changning City, he only had 100,000 soldiers on his hands. Besides, although the Chur machine is powerful, I have already thought of a way to break him. I believe that we don't need Marshal Jin, we can also fight to Do'an Mansion and avenge your father. Of course, by the way, also take revenge on Marshal Kim. ”
Song Qi said that he would not be a chess piece, and he did not mean to betray Kim Jong-lei. Kim Jong-lei has the grace of knowing him, and he will engrave this in his heart. He felt that he didn't have to wait for others to arrange everything like a pawn. Whether Kim Jong-lei is there or not, he has to hold up this sky and fight this situation.
"Brother Song, since you insist on fighting, I support you!" Mingyu nodded. She recalled that the four towns such as Tongque Pass passed along the way were all in good order, and the captains guarding the customs were all impressed by Song Qi, and Song Qi's words were not said out of thin air, and now he has the strength to say such things.
Song Qi stretched out his hand and patted Mingyu's shoulder, and said proudly: "With your support, I will definitely be invincible!" ”
Mingyu's eyes looked at the golden dome on the Iron Horse Pass General's Mansion, and suddenly turned his head, frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "I heard that in the past few days, there have been incidents of the rebellion of the generals and the departure of the captain from the team in the Iron Horse Pass, if these things are not handled well, I am afraid that the same thing will happen." Although you have 100,000 troops in your hands, I am afraid that you will soon run out. ”
"Thanks for the reminder." Song Qi wiped his face and said with a big grin: "However, you don't have to worry, I have already thought of a way to deal with these two things satisfactorily!" ”
Mingyu smiled and said, "I hope so!" ”
The next morning, it was a sunny morning. The sun had just risen over the eastern sky, and the air was quite fresh.
Nearly 100,000 soldiers gathered in the ironclad barracks and school yards, lined up in hundreds of columns, looking up at the point platform, waiting to see Mingyu's appearance of the country, and also waiting for Song Qi's lecture.
They didn't know what the country looked like, and they didn't know what General Song was going to say.
On one side of the school yard close to the foot of the mountain, a boulder protrudes from the mountainside, and several pillars are built with blue bricks underneath the boulder. The boulder is very flat and can accommodate hundreds of people standing on it, which is the point platform of the Iron Horse Pass.
Song Qi wore silver armor and strode up to the point platform from the stone steps built by the mountain, standing facing the stage, heroic and high-spirited.
Song Qi's eyes were raised, and he slowly swept over the heads of the 100,000 soldiers in the audience, from the far left to the far right. Looking at the black head below and everyone's expectant eyes, Song Qi's heart was surging and full of emotion.
This was the first meeting of 100,000 people in his life, and he was inevitably a little excited. Last time in Xuanwu County, the audience below was only 20,000.
He took a deep breath, walked to the front of the stage, waved his hand vigorously to the bottom of the stage, and said loudly: "Brothers, everyone! ”
"Hello General Song!" 100,000 soldiers shouted in unison. The voices of 100,000 people converge together, what kind of concept is that, I'm afraid it is louder than hitting a hundred Jiao Lei. Frightened, the birds on the mountainside fluttered out of the forest and flew in all directions over the school field.
After everyone shouted, Song Qi waved his hand to the audience, signaling everyone to be quiet. For a while, everyone was quiet, and the school field was quiet, and everyone could hear each other's breathing.
Everyone didn't know what Song Qi was going to say, they all opened their eyes wide, looked up at the stage, and their eyes were full of expectation.
Of course, they were more looking forward to the appearance of that beautiful general.
Song Qi moved a few more steps to the edge of the platform, facing the 100,000 soldiers under the stage, and said generously: "In the past two days, there have been successive incidents of Lai Qu's rebellion and Solo Luo's private departure from the army. Both of these things are very serious. It has had a certain impact on our army. Why is this happening? It may be because they have listened to Chun Doo's words of sowing discord and decided that Marshal Kim has abandoned us. I would like to tell you the fact that Marshal Kim has an urgent military mission to return to Chen Guo temporarily, but he will be back soon. Marshal Jin will not abandon us, he has laid a heavy army in Xuanwu County, which can be used as a solid backup for us. The most important thing is that Marshal Jin sent the brave and warlike General Mingyu to personally lead his troops to Tiema Pass to aid us. In fact, we are very strong now, and even if we don't have assistance, we can fight all the way to Do'an Mansion, but the arrival of General Mingyu still makes us deeply encouraged. Isn't it? ”
"Yes!" 100,000 voices roared out in unison.
Song Qi stretched out his hand behind him and said loudly: "General Mingyu is invited below!" His voice resounded throughout the schoolyard, echoing over people's heads. (To be continued.) )
