Chapter 624: The Aftermath
"Well... ”
Listening to Zhuge Jianlong's opinion, Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help but stagnate. However, compared with the reaction of Yang Shou and others, his expression was much calmer.
After a while, he said quietly:
"What Mr. Zhuge said is true. ”
"This official was originally a cloth cloth, but fortunately it was recommended by the Governor Huo Feiran, and the appreciation of today's saints, so that he has today's status and glory... ”
"Your Majesty has a great kindness to this official. ”
"Now that Beijun is in trouble, how can this official sit idly by?"
"Come, give the order... Let the three armies prepare, cook tomorrow, and officially start the army when the army is officially launched. ”
Looking at Situ Xing, who had a solemn face and a look of determination in his eyes, Yang Shou, Fan Gou'er and the others could only step forward and salute and nod their heads even if they were unwilling in their hearts.
"Yang Shou stayed, you all went back to the camp to arrange military affairs, and the army will start on time tomorrow... ”
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
One person left with a pale face, and some hurriedly assigned various tasks to his subordinates.
Yang Shou's eyes kept flickering, and he stood there looking at Situ Xing in some surprise, and for some reason, he was left alone.
"My lord, let the last general stay alone, I don't know what to order?"
Situ Xing didn't speak immediately, but just sat on the Taishi chair, slowly sipping tea, about half an hour later, when everyone had already walked away, and only himself and Yang Shou were left in the hall.
Only then did Situ Xing signal Yang Shou to step forward and sit down.
Yang Shou looked at Situ Xing's mysterious appearance, his eyes couldn't help but stagnate, although he was surprised in his heart, he still didn't hesitate to take a few steps forward, sat in Situ Xing's lower position, his buttocks were only a third of the way, his neck was stretched forward, his ears were open, and his face showed a listening look.
"Your Excellency, please command!"
Situ Xing looked at Yang Shou's respectful appearance, his eyes couldn't help but show satisfaction, nodded secretly, and after a while, he said faintly:
"This time you go out to conquer the king of Qin, you don't want to follow the big army... ”
Hearing Situ Xing's order, Yang Shou's face couldn't help but stiffen, his eyes kept flickering, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to explain something.
Situ Xing waved his hand lightly, suppressed Yang Shou's words to his lips again, and continued:
"Don't you want to ask, why don't you follow the army ... ”
"The official also has his own considerations. ”
"Now Daqian seems to be thriving, but in fact it is walking on thin ice, with Fanbang peeping outside, and the sect lying on its side inside... If you are not careful, the stars will shift, and the dragon and snake will take off!"
"In this case, Zhibei County is particularly important to us. ”
"After all, this is where I started, and it is also a place to settle down. ”
"No matter how bad the situation outside is, with such a place in hand, we can wait for our lives!"
"This!"
Yang Shou, who had a birthmark on his face and looked like a demon, kept flashing his eyes, and his face was even more shocked.
Although he also has his own judgment on the situation of the great cadres.
But I never imagined that the current situation in Daqian would be so strange and dangerous.
"Knowing the importance of Bei County, this official doesn't say much. ”
"You are from Jiangmen, you have been nurtured since childhood, you are proficient in Wentao and martial arts, and you are a rare handsome talent!"
"Because of this ... ”
"Zhibei County, you must come to the town... ”
Situ Xing looked at Yang Shou, whose face had changed greatly, and said with a serious face.
"This... ”
Yang Shou's eyes kept flickering, although he knew in his heart that what Situ Xing said was reasonable, he still didn't want to stay in Zhibei County.
After all, the battlefield is still the fate of military generals.
"I know you don't want to stay in Zhibei County. ”
"But, apart from you, who has the ability and prestige to suppress it instead of this official?"
"Xue Li, this person is talented, he has been taught by different people since he was a child, Wen Taowu is not under you, and he is also a rare handsome talent. But it's a pity that he is too young and lacks seniority and prestige. Staying alone in Zhibei County, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress those wealthy squires who are about to move. ”
Situ Xing glanced at Yang Shou, as if it was a roundworm in his stomach, and he knew his thoughts well, nodded lightly, and analyzed with a serious and objective face.
Yang Shou heard Situ Xing's evaluation of Xue Li, and couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart.
If he said that he was a family scholar, he inherited the military book and war strategy of the Yang family of the former dynasty.
Then, Xue Li is gifted and lucky, not only was he born with bones that are different from ordinary people, but he was discovered by strangers at a very young age, and he entered the deep mountains to learn literature and martial arts. He is more proficient in many formations, and a few days ago he took the stage to march and set up the formation, and "Snake Pan Array" impressed everyone.
It's just that I'm still young and inexperienced, and I'm not enough to take charge on my own.
"Fan Gou'er, fierce is fierce, but he lacks wisdom, he is just a general, and he can't be handsome!"
At the mention of Fan Gou'er, Situ Xing couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and said with some amusement.
"Although the dog is short-tempered, he is the most innocent in his mind. ”
"It is a rare fierce general, as long as it is used properly, it will definitely be a sharp knife into the heart of the enemy. ”
Thinking of Fan Gou'er's babbling appearance, Yang Shou couldn't help but shake his head lightly and laughed gloomily.
"If you let him sit in Zhibei County... ”
It is estimated that the entire Zhibei County can be turned upside down by him, and there are only a few wealthy families left in Zhibei County. ”
"Not bad!"
"So he doesn't fit either!"
Situ Xing took a sip of tea, nodded lightly, and said without any hesitation.
"Among the four captains, three have already been said, and in the end, there is only one Li Ling left!"
"Li Ling is the captain of the Suzaku Battalion. ”
"This is the descendant of the former Chaofei general Li Shuhu. ”
"He was also born in Jiangmen and is skilled in bows and horses, but the Li family and the Yang family are different from the generals in the court, and the Li family has declined after the second generation. ”
"Moreover, even General Fei has never been a marquis in his life. ”
"When it comes to heritage, there is still a lot of gap between the Li family and the Yang family!"
"Yes!"
Yang Shou, who had a cyan birthmark on his face, nodded heavily, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he couldn't help revealing a hint of arrogance.
"Ancestor Yang Lao Linggong is a famous general of the previous dynasty!"
"The Yang family army under his command is even more invincible, which makes all the foreign clans terrified!"
"After Yang Lao ordered Gong to drive the crane west, there were seven sons in the army, and these seven sons were heroes, all of them were martial arts saints, and they were more proficient in military books and war strategies. ”
"Although he did not surpass Yang Lao Linggong, he did not fall into the majesty of Yang Gate!"
Later, the seventh son died in battle, and the old lady personally recruited, and there were several female generals of the Yang Sect who did not let the women shave their eyebrows. ”
"It is precisely because Tianjiao is born in every generation that our Yang family has been inherited for hundreds of years and has been prosperous for a long time!"
"In terms of heritage, their Li family is naturally inferior to our Yang family. ”
Yang Shou said the glory of Yang Men, and a touch of red couldn't help but appear on his blue cheeks, and he said with a proud face.
Situ Xing bowed his head lightly, with a look of agreement, and then continued:
"In terms of force, Li Ling is no match for Fan Gou'er!"
"On the court, the background, Li Ling can't compare to you... ”
"On chance, on talent, "Li Ling can't compare to Xue Li!"
"It is precisely because of these reasons that Li Ling has always been ranked at the bottom of the four major generals!"
"However, Li Ling also has an advantage that none of you can compare, that is, he is bold and careful. ”
"He is the most suitable to be a scout, a pioneer officer, open mountains when encountering mountains, and build bridges when encountering water... ”
"So this official has been repeated, and you are the only one who can stay in Zhibei County. ”
"This... ”
Looking at Situ's gaze, Yang Shou felt embarrassed in his heart. From his heart, he didn't want to stay behind. However, among the four major generals, he is indeed the only one who is the most suitable to sit in Zhibei County,。。 That's why he's so embarrassed.
"It's easy to fight the country... The hard thing is to defend the country!"
Situ Xing sighed faintly and said with emotion.
"Your Excellency!"
"My subordinates are willing to stay in Zhibei County!"
"As long as the last general lives, Zhibei County will definitely not fall into the hands of others. ”
Looking at the expected Situ punishment, Yang Shou suddenly made a decision in his heart, suddenly stood up with a solemn face, put a fist on his chest with one hand, and looked at the sky as if he had sworn and said very solemnly.
。。。。。。
An unknown winding and deep alley in Zhibei County.
The body was strong, the whole body was full of iron and blood, and his face was shrouded in a coarse cloth cloak, and Ma Zhou walked cautiously.
Different from the cautious and nervous when he first came, this time his expression was obviously much more relaxed, and he even stopped where there was a hidden stake and bowed his head gently.
Turning left and right, and without knowing how many narrow alleys he had passed, his pupils once again reflected the familiar scenery that often appeared in his dreams.
Under the erosion of time, the metallic color of the door panels, which looked a little black, has faded, leaving only moss-like mottled spots and red copper.
Syllable!
Syllable!
Syllable!
The crisp sound was heard far and wide in the empty alleys.
The door that had been sealed for a long time was opened again.
A young man with a roe deer and a thief's eyes poked his head out, and when he saw Ma Zhou, his eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy. Said with a smile:
"Brother Ma!"
"Brother Ma is here... Please come in, the altar owner has been waiting for a long time. ”
Ma Zhou glanced around vigilantly, and after seeing that no one was following him, let alone peeping, he took off the cloak covering his head, revealing his cheeks covered with beards.
"Brother Ma is still so vigilant and cautious... ”
Walking into the courtyard, seeing that Ma Zhou was still looking around vigilantly, the young man said with a dry smile.
"There is no way ... ”
"I'm used to it... ”
Ma Zhou also realized his gaffe, smiled dryly, and said with some concealment. The two of them walked around the somewhat dilapidated mansion, passed through the bright door for several months, and finally came to the small house hidden at the back of the rockery.
Compared to last time, the temperature in the house seems to be even colder.
The iron blue color on Wang Dayu's face was even stronger, and there was an indescribable and inexplicable aura wrapped around his body.
"Meet the altar master!"
Ma Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greeted loudly.
"It's all my own brothers... ”
"No need to be so polite!"
"What's the news coming out of the barracks?"
Wang Dayu, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Ma Zhou saluting, a trace of joy couldn't help but rise on his face, and he asked with some excitement.
"Enlighten the altar master. ”
"Today, the order was suddenly received in the barracks. ”
"Tomorrow I will get up at midnight to make food, and I will start on time, and it is expected that in three days, the team will be able to arrive in Beijun!"
Ma Zhou looked at Wang Dayu, who was full of corpse stench, his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of disgust, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat. However, he rationally abandoned this thought, lay his head on the ground, and said with a respectful face.
"Tomorrow will be the time to cook, and the time will be opened, but the news is accurate?"
"Why did you suddenly advance, but what happened?"
After Wang Dayu heard the news, the light in his eyes kept flickering, and he asked with some curiosity and some suspicion.
"The Lord of the Altar of Enlightenment... ”
"I heard the generals say that it was because Beijun was besieged by thieves and was in danger, and an urgent letter came from Shangfeng, ordering the soldiers of the surrounding counties and counties to serve the king as soon as possible to relieve the siege of the state capital!"
"It is precisely for this reason that the county lord of Situ is able to disregard public opinion, regardless of the opposition of the generals, and insists on sending troops... ”
Seeing Wang Dayu asking, Ma Zhou hurriedly explained.
"For this matter, the generals also have a lot of criticism in private. After all, this place is thousands of miles away from the North County, and you need to travel through the wild region... There are many difficulties and dangers. If you are not careful, you may be wiped out!"
"So the generals don't approve of the North Army!"
"Haha... ”
Hearing Ma Zhou's explanation, Wang Dayu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something ridiculous, and he laughed maniacally.
"Hahahaha... ”
"I didn't expect that our world-famous Situ County Lord turned out to be a great loyal minister. ”
"It's ridiculous. ”
"It's pedantic!"
"Now the great dry luck seems to be fried and cooked, but in fact it is stormy... This Lord Situ is still dreaming of being a loyal minister. ”
"But it also cheapens us. ”
"After the army is opened, the guards in the city will be empty, and when the time comes, we will be able to take Zhibei County into our pockets. ”
"At that time, Situ will be a tree without roots and water without a source。。。。。 ”
"What the Lord of the altar said is ... ”
"At that time, we will definitely be able to build a supreme paradise here!"
Ma Zhou seemed to be infected by Wang Dayu's plan, and shouted loudly with an excited face.
"Since the army is about to be marched out, you should not go back. ”
"According to the report from the spies of the Divine Sect, the Zhang family's father and son have already made a pocket formation outside the city, just waiting for the officers and soldiers in the city to throw themselves into the net. ”
"You don't want to go back and die!"
"Stay in the altar to be a fragrant head, and the true altar master, you will be indispensable in the future!"
Wang Dayu laughed for a while, his face became iron and old-fashioned again, and he looked at Ma Zhou lying on the ground, flattering Ma Zhou, and commanded with a smile.
Hearing Wang Dayu's words, Ma Zhou's eyes flashed a few times, but he hid it very well, and even Wang Dayu, who was close at hand, didn't notice it.
