Chapter 17: The Lord
"So, except for the three hundred people when I was fighting with the third brother, the remaining seven hundred are all such old and weak soldiers?"
Low morale, sluggish military morale, numb eyes...... As well as the age of almost forty years on average!
On the dock wall, looking down at Yu Ban who was still dutifully leading these people to carry out a weight-bearing trial, so as to truly test their physical condition, Li Cheng asked Li Yi who came to deliver the dock guard with an expressionless face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, Li Cheng already has the capital that he doesn't have to respect Li Yi.
Because of Xiahou Ba standing beside him.
"The second son should also understand the difficulties of the head of the family, after all, Li Jiawu is the root of our Li family, and we can't lose our Li family's own family because of a Northern Yan's Eastern Crusade."
Li Yi responded very calmly.
But what he didn't say was: Just a little, in addition to Li Cheng's own hundred private soldiers, Li Ding even planned to take back the two hundred people he sent during the battle!
Looking back at Li Yi deeply, Li Cheng said coldly: "I'm afraid that these people are all willing to join the team because they know that they will die, but because they were promised by their father that their loved ones will be taken care of, right?" ”
"Why did the second son say this? Those who contribute to my Li Jiawu, our Li family will naturally treat them well. ”
"What a touching dock master!"
Li Cheng waved his hand impatiently, and he was no longer interested in politely saying some official words with Li Yi.
"All right, go back and tell my good father, these people, since they were given to me, are mine. People, what kind of goods they are, I don't bother to care; But the equipment, grain, and grass must be prepared for me. Before Beiyan came to summon them, I had to train them well every day. ”
"Grain and grass equipment, naturally, the second son's ...... Then, Li Yi retired. ”
Li Yi, who knew that he was not popular, also chose to leave as soon as possible. In short, the delivery of these 700 people is completed, and the rest is the second son's own business.
"We only have a month at most, Zhongquan."
Li Cheng held the dock wall with both hands, exhaled a long breath, and said in a deep voice.
No matter how incompetent the Northern Yan Imperial Court is, it will not drag out too much in the face of the threat of Liaoxi County.
A small number of elite forward troops must already be on their way to western Liaoning. And the miscellaneous army drawn from the local Haoqiang, as well as a large number of infantry mixed with Hu and Han, are now just sorting out the relationship between the commander and the commander and preparing the grain, which is a little slower.
It is only a month at most, in late spring and early summer. After the muddy and difficult stage when the spring snow first melts, and it is the season of little rain, it is very convenient to march and transport.
But only for a month...... It's not enough to change the face of a weak soldier!
Although there is ambition and pride, when a person who is completely different from this era faces such a naked law of the jungle for the first time, there will always be a trace of confusion.
Really, can it go so smoothly? Can you really do it yourself?
If you talk about the method of battle formation, you can also cheat through the game; The confidence of both grace and power is also borrowed from the name of Li Jiawu's second son; Then when you go to the three counties of the East Pole, you are really a lone army......
A lone army that is extremely scattered.
The only way to survive is to keep fighting and winning; Like a vicious wolf that can never fill his stomach, he maintains his hunger and aggressiveness, and uses continuous forcible growth to offset the possible loss of troops, so as to establish his own prestige enough to gain a foothold!
"Zhongquan, we can do it......"
Behind him was silence.
"Zhongquan?"
Li Cheng turned around and looked, and what he saw was Xiahouba's sluggish face, and after immediately reacting, he hugged his fists apologetically:
"I'm sorry son, I just remembered that I fled into Shu at that time, but I lost my way in Yinping, I ran out of food, and I didn't know that my life would be safe tomorrow...... At that time, there was only one thought: it is good to be able to live. I don't know how to spend my life at all......"
The corners of Xiahouba's mouth floated with a smile of memory.
"I still remember when I was first summoned by Childe in this world, Ba, and I had doubts about Childe. It was Childe's words that made me want to believe and filled me with strength...... Every word of that sentence is engraved in my mind! Childe said, I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate, in short, the situation is that the two of us got together as travelers in the same world...... What is there to think about? We're all just ......"
“…… We are all just people who have nothing to lose or lose except our dreams! ”
Li Cheng followed Xiahou Ba's tone and spoke at the same time, saying together.
Smile knowingly.
"Thanks, Zhongquan."
Li Cheng stretched out his right hand without pretentiousness, from the heart, like a brother, and patted Xiahou Ba's arm.
"That's right! Even if you lose this gamble, as long as you are still there, as long as your dreams are still there, you can still win them all back for me! But...... It's better to win or win directly, the taste of losing shouldn't belong to our group, rare dreamers! ”
"Although on this road, many lives may be sacrificed, and even many principles may be sacrificed...... Cao Gong once wanted to be the general of the Han Dynasty, but in the end he usurped the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty; He once lamented the rebellion of the Yellow Turban and Dong Zhuo, which made the north barren, but in the end, he still set up a rule that those who surround and surrender will not be forgiven......"
"After all, when we are on the right path, all known and unknown hardships are worth bearing!"
Looking at Li Cheng with a complicated expression, he regained his confidence and walked down the dock wall, Xiahou Ba reached out and gently touched the place that was photographed by Li Cheng just now.
"The king of Wei is in the same vein, so that he treats me personally; On the Shu Han side, treat me with strange goods; The Sima clan treats me as an enemy...... Father, I often hear you say that as a military general, it is your luck to follow King Wei in your life. Perhaps the biggest confusion in my life is that as a military general, I don't have a lord worthy of allegiance......"
After pondering silently for a long time, the dock door suddenly opened, attracting Xiahouba's attention:
I saw Li Cheng riding in the dust, full of energy, and rushed to the direction of the forbidden place.
"Perhaps it is a blessing to die for the kingdom you have created, father...... That's a feeling I want to experience. ”
"Since you've already done something that will make you scold, if you have one more, you shouldn't scold it twice, right?"
Xiahou Ba turned around with a smile, and his figure disappeared on the dock wall, but in the end, he left a witty sentence that did not conform to his usual appearance:
"Of course, that Huang Hansheng ...... Although the child can't beat it, if you want to come to the child, you will always try your best to satisfy the mood of me, the first old minister to follow, right? Rest assured, father. The child will definitely help you and get revenge! ”
