Chapter 247: The Chess Piece's Sigh
"Kim Jong-lei!" Mingyu screamed, "Why are you here?" Go away, I don't want to see you! ”
Kim Jong-lei didn't mind Mingyu's attitude, he looked indifferent, and said with a smile: "If I wasn't here, you would either become a delicacy for tigers in the mountains, or a meal for crocodiles in the river!" ”
"So, you saved me?" Mingyu pursed the corners of her mouth and lowered her head embarrassedly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although she has a lot of opinions about Kim Jong-lei, if he saved her life and she is so unfriendly to him, it seems that she is too unruly.
"It just happened." Kim Jong-lei reached out and picked up a branch from the ground and put it in the fire. The newly added branches were burned by the scorching fire, and immediately there was a crackling sound and sparks splashing everywhere.
"Thank you!" "I'm sorry!"
The two of them spoke almost in unison, and then they both shut up at the same time, waiting for the other to speak.
The two of them didn't speak again for a long time, and they both looked at the blazing fire in a daze. Only the crackling sound of burning branches and the clatter of horses grazing.
"Mingyu, I'm sorry, I talked to you a little too much last time!" Kim Jong-lei finally sighed and spoke. Looking at the way he lowered his head, it seemed that the apology was sincere.
At this moment, Mingyu has long forgotten about Kim Jong-lei's accusation of so-called "immorality", and she is now dissatisfied that Kim Jong-lei himself secretly withdrew his troops and returned to China, but sent Song Qi and a lone army to defend the country and conquer the city, but said that he was entrusted with a heavy task. What is the difference between this and deception!
Mingyu stared at the red flames on the fire, and said angrily, "You have done more than this!" ”
"Oh, so I have such a bad impression in your mind." Kim Zhenglei chuckled and shook his head, "Which one else?" ”
"You're still pretending to be confused!" Mingyu raised his eyelashes, glanced at Jin Zhenglei, and said hatefully: "You yourself quietly withdrew your troops and returned to China with more than 200,000 troops, but you sent Song Qi alone to attack the city, what kind of heart do you have?" Didn't you deliberately send him to death! ”
"Oh, that's what you said!" Kim Jong-lei turned his head to look at Mingyu, who blushed at the sight of his burning eyes, and turned his head to look at his grazing horse, leaving him with a beautiful side. "I also had to do this because I received the emperor's secret order to withdraw from the army, and I had no choice!"
The fire grew stronger and stronger, and the scorching people were so hot that they were all hot.
Mingyu's delicate body changed to a sitting position on the stone, so that the other half's still wet clothes could be roasted until the fire. She raised her hand to pull her still wet hair back to the back of her head, and at the same time questioned Kim Jong-lei, "You can't do it?" Can't you let Song Qi retreat with him? ”
Kim Jong-lei also moved on the stone, face to face with Mingyu, and he let out a long sigh, "Alas! You know, I have endured humiliation and burdens in Chen Guo for 18 years, just to take revenge! Now I finally hit Xuanwu County, and suddenly there is an unexpected situation where the Chu State has invaded the territory, and the emperor wants me to withdraw my troops and return to China! You say, can I watch my painstaking revenge business die down and give up halfway when I am about to have some eyebrows? ”
Mingyu raised her pretty eyebrows and looked at Kim Jong-lei with confusion in her eyes.
Kim Jong-lei looked sideways at the whirring flames, "The emperor told me to withdraw my troops, and I had to withdraw!" But if I withdraw all the troops to the Chen State, then I don't know when I will raise troops and defend them again in the future! Maybe maybe not even a chance! Therefore, I had to leave an army in advance to defend the country! I think Song Qi's ability is capable of such a mission! In this way, after I defeat the Chu soldiers, I can return to defend the country and resume the cause of revenge! ”
Mingyu looked at Jin Zhenglei with wide open eyes, as if she didn't know him, she wasn't sure whether to scold him or beat him, and said in a fierce voice: "So, you will leave Song Qi in Weiguo!" You didn't treat him as a general at all, but as a pawn! ”
"What you say is not unreasonable." Kim Jonglei did not deny it, he covered his face with his hands and said indignantly: "Actually, I am not a chess piece!" I have to do whatever the emperor tells me to do! I, the marshal, am not a marshal at all! It's just a war machine in the hands of the emperor! ”
Mingyu's eyebrows tightened, and he said angrily: "I'm so disappointed in you!" For the sake of your so-called career, you don't care about the life and death of others. Aren't you afraid that Song Qi's lone army will be wiped out and your wishful thinking will come to naught? ”
Jin Zhenglei narrowed his eyes slightly, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, and he spread his hands and said, "How do you say that he is alone?" I did not completely evacuate the country, I have a certain number of defenders in the Xuanwu County and other cities we occupy. These were the strong backing of Song Qi's army. ”
Mingyu nailed Kim Jong-lei with disdain, "Once the Guardians know that your army has withdrawn, their soldiers will surely make a comeback." What's the use of those insignificant soldiers you have left? If you can't defend the city, what can you talk about as a strong backing? Then he got up from the stone and walked towards his horse without looking back. . .

Iron Horse Pass General's Mansion.
Song Qi sat behind the handsome case that originally belonged to Zang Long, holding his cheeks in his hand and bowing his head in contemplation. On the table was a piece of brown paper that had only been written "Marshal Jin Taijian" and stopped, leaving a large blank space, and next to the paper was a tiger-headed pen holder, on which rested a wolf pen full of thick ink, and a few drops of ink on the tip of the pen were dripping on the rabbit blanket spread on the table.
He didn't know what was going on with Marshal Kim, he hadn't received any instructions and orders from Marshal Kim since he sent his troops.
The documents he sent to Xuanwu County, including good news, documents asking for merit for his soldiers, letters appointing generals to guard the pass, urgent documents, letters asking for help, and letters urging grain, were all like mud cattle entering the sea, and they did not receive any reply from Marshal Jin. It seems that Marshal Kim is extremely relieved and trusting of him, to the point where he is resigned to carte blanche and does not interfere.
However, at present, he can't afford to be such a trust and reassurance as Marshal Jin!
He smiled wryly and shook his head slightly.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to take the five towns of Weiguo, he would have been able to get grain on the spot because of the grain, and his army would have starved to death several times due to lack of food and grass.
If it weren't for the fact that he was lucky enough to take five guan towns, and sent Captain Chen Guo to lead troops to guard the five guan towns, temporarily stabilizing the rear, his army would have been attacked and wiped out by the patriotic army on both sides.
At this moment, Song Qi didn't know that he had become a lone army, an abandoned army. If he knew the truth, maybe it would be difficult for him to pass the level, break through five levels in a row, and achieve victory, and he would not have the courage to face Zang Long's serial ironclad army and win the crucial victory of the Iron Horse Pass with a difficult and strange raid...
