Fire oil is becoming more and more scarce, because I didn't go to the village to loot in Hecun, I didn't get any fire oil, and now, only my camp tent can still light oil lamps at night, and the other deputy battalion leaders have been deprived of this treatment, except for the patrol sergeants.

The rain crackled on the roof of the tent, because of the excessive rest during the day, I didn't feel sleepy at all this night, I didn't stand, I didn't sit, I didn't sleep, I just wanted a woman here, I had a big job, and my heart was also very irritable.

The rain stopped for a while, Huo Gaoling and Huo Lu, and Huo Dashan came to my camp, I should have seen my camp on fire, I thought I hadn't fallen asleep yet, the two of them came in and called me, I nodded and motioned, let them sit at will, there would be no good place to sit, the ground was earth and stones, and the grass that had been cut, and there were a few stools.

Huo Gaoling and the three of them looked at the stool, they didn't mean to sit, they would rather stand more comfortably, Huo Dashan said first: "I saw that the camp leader's tent was still burning, and I couldn't sleep, so I came to take a look." ”

"Your tent has no lights, but it's not comfortable." I asked.

"It's fine, it's nothing compared to what I'm worried about." Huo Gaoling said instead of Huo Dashan, I actually asked Huo Gaoling when I asked, and my eyes were looking at him.

"Gao Ling, are you worried that our two thousand sergeants will be eaten by the White Turban Army?" I looked at Huo Gaoling and said, Huo Gaoling at this time is in a complicated mood for me, I used to be an outsider, but now I can't imagine that I have climbed on his head and become his top boss, it's really strange.

Huo Gaoling didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Hailing County, Wu County, and Nanwang County are all guarded by the White Turban Army's sergeants, we are really hasty in marching so rashly, once we encounter an ambush and are dragged down, when the large army comes, we will never recover." ”

I fell into deep thought, what Huo Gaoling said was the truth, and this is what I was worried about, however, there was a better way for me, if I led my troops to merge with the soldiers and horses of Donghai City, then I could not understand the fate of the Fire Moon Sergeant, and die on the walls of the city, would I be able to do that, wouldn't it be extremely stupid.

After a long time, I said: "We have no way out, going to Donghai City will only make us die faster, and entering Hailing County may be an unexpected result, and this victory is a good start, Gaoling, what else do you have to worry about." ”

"This time it's just luck, and it's really hard to dispel my worries." Huo Gaoling said bitterly.

"The main force of the White Turban Army is either stationed in Qiyang County, west of Donghai County, or has been transferred to Donghai City to besiege it, and the sergeants who remain in Hailing County and the surrounding areas are some non-combatant soldiers, why be afraid, the White Turban Army has only been in rebellion for a few months, and it is impossible to train an army with extraordinary combat power, this is a good time for us to make meritorious contributions, Gao Ling," I said excitedly and generously, "Great merits are waiting for us to pick them, sacrifice is inevitable, as long as they die well, we will avenge them, Looking up is worthy of the sky, and bowing down to the ground is a true hero who stands up to the sky. ”

"Believe me, we will work together, advance and retreat together, we will surely achieve victory and get the honor and status we deserve, and then it will definitely not be the current situation, at the mercy of others." I said bitterly.

"I trust you, but what about the others." Huo Gaoling asked rhetorically.

I smiled and said, "Huolu General Banner, didn't the captain of Huodashan also believe me, otherwise they wouldn't have come together." ”

Huo Lu and Huo Dashan were silent, which was a tacit acquiescence to my opinion, however, this acquiescence seemed far-fetched, and it was my self-righteousness.

I asked, "Demon Moon, what complaints do you have about Huo Thin dragging them?" ”

After being silent for a while, Huo Gaoling said, "I didn't hear what they said to hold their breath. ”

It's not necessarily a good thing to not hold your breath, it's better if you show it, at least you know how to remedy and prevent it in time, and if it's buried in your heart, no one knows when something will go wrong.

Tokai City.

The rain seemed to be heavier, especially in the middle of the night, when the shallow water on the pavement crackled, and in front of the eaves, the water column on the roof fell to the ground, and the water droplets splashed on the steps two meters away, wetting the trouser legs of the guards standing guard, and wetting them to their knees.

The four gatekeepers stood in the doorway with their heads held high, unoblivious to the pouring rain, unable to see any expressions, as if it were their turn to do so.

Two huge lanterns are hung on the beams, the firelight is sprinkled down, the door is bright, and the three big characters "Taishou Mansion" are pasted above the gate, reflecting the glory under the illumination of the firelight, showing the endless majesty and supremacy of this Taishou Mansion.

The nearby houses are dark and dark, and there is no place to find a bright place, only here the lights are shining with a cane, and the guards are in good spirits.

There was a calm all around, suddenly, a horse neighing in the night sky broke the peace around him, the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, after a while, a bright light appeared around the corner, and with the bright light completely appeared on the street in the rain, it could be seen that it was a knight riding a war horse back, after the first knight appeared, and then another one appeared behind, eight knights appeared in a row, at this time the front knight had come to the front of the steps of the Taishou Mansion.

The first knight turned over and dismounted, ran up the steps quickly, held the lantern high, and shone on his companions behind, the second knight turned over and dismounted, led the first knight's horse, and walked to the left side of the gate, and three more knights each led two horses to the left in the darkness.

At this time, the knight who walked in the fourth place walked up the steps, followed by three knights, obviously this is the supreme leader, I saw him walk to the side of the guard, the guard immediately knelt on one knee and shouted in unison: "I have seen General Law." ”

"Get up." Lao Bushen walked into the door as he spoke, and walked up to the corridor without looking back, and walked quickly inside, there was a lantern hanging on the corridor at a distance, and the road was bright, so that in the dark night, people could also walk quickly and steadily.

Walk along the verandah, brave the rain through the garden path, step on the corridor of the pavilion, look at the alleys of the back garden, the pace of Lao Bu Shen is getting faster and faster, sweeping away the pain and old state of the past, when he sees that the exquisite small house in the back garden is still lit up, Lao Bu Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

Lao Zhang couldn't sleep more and more, not because he wasn't tired, every night, he had to call some officials and generals to the Taishou Mansion to discuss political affairs, sometimes a discussion came late at night, the content of the discussion was nothing more than how to break the enemy's strategy, and the discussion lasted for several days, but it didn't seem to have a good result.

Lao Zhang was in a bad mood when he was concerned about this matter, summoned his subordinates, and always told his subordinates: "Don't relax, in this time when the offense and defense are divided into winners and losers." ”

"My subordinates understand that since the appearance of the White Turban Army outside the city, they have arranged for the trappers to patrol the streets every day, and once they find people with suspicious traces, they would rather miss them than let them go, and they don't dare to do anything wrong." Du Wei Khan Sui was a middle-aged man with a fair face, a prominent forehead, shiny oil, a round face, and when he was not smiling, he was very approachable, and he did not look like a big official in charge of the arrest of thieves and murderers in the entire Donghai County.

"Still there's no news of the White Turbans?" Lao Zhang found out earlier that there were people in the city secretly communicating with the White Turban Army, and wanted to find out the details.

"The gates of the city should have been closed earlier, and those who fled should not have entered the city, but the meticulous work of the White Turban Army was mixed with those who fled and entered the city, and they made the mistake of being a woman, and now they cannot regret it." Lao Zhang said reproachfully.

"There has been no abnormal situation in the past few days, and my subordinates have sent a lot of trappers to investigate, and there is no white turban army in the city." Khan Sui defended himself and said that he couldn't take the responsibility on his shoulders.

"It's just because I didn't find out that it's terrible, which shows that those fine works have been waiting for opportunities in the shadows, and they have been premeditated, and I underestimated the ambitions and conspiracy of the White Turban Army, which led to today's unfavorable situation." Lao Zhang said bitterly that he had realized the consequences of the power struggle for him.

"The subordinates must investigate carefully, and they must find out the identity of the detailed work, so don't worry." Khan Sui didn't expect Gongzi to be so worried, grasp the problem and hold on, he thought that he could get through this problem in one stroke, he had arranged for his subordinates to investigate strictly, but there was no clue at all, as if there was really no fine work in the city.

"Captain Khan, the security and stability of Donghai City, you must always pay attention to precautions, there must be no chaos at this time, as long as you dare to make trouble, kill on the spot, no need to say more." Lao Zhang admonished.
