Since he figured out this layer in the fifteenth section, Wu Ming also put his mind at ease, and said to Liao Xiongsheng: "General Liao, behind us, Master Li is returning with thousands of brothers to protect his mother, and I have to trouble you to inform Tingya and greet you." ”

Liao Xiongsheng was taken aback, and then said a little embarrassed: "Okay, I'll go and inform you, but the eldest prince is not empty now." Whether you can please move him depends on your ability, Lord Wu. ”

Wu Ming was already relieved, and he could hear the other party say this at this time. It's inevitable to be a little puzzled, this Liao Sheng's shelf is so big? When the crown princess arrived, he dared not greet him? Listening to the tone of Liao Xiongsheng's words, it seems that he is entangled in something important. He couldn't help but wonder, "What, is there something wrong?" ”

Liao Xiongsheng didn't answer, and said to the others: "I'll go and inform Lu Dudu, you protect the third prince and Lord Wu, and as soon as there is news, I will come to pick you up immediately." After giving the order, he patted the horse, and the horse suddenly turned his head and walked away with one man and one horse.

This Liao Xiongsheng is really not revealing anything, it seems that he can't get his mind right, so he reported to his superiors. Most of the people who stayed behind also had the meaning of surveillance. Wu Ming didn't think it was angry, the soldier named Xiao Jiang saw that Liao Xiongsheng had run away, so he came up again and said, "Lord Wu, the Southern Expeditionary Army will escape, you are a little younger?" ”

Wu Ming thought for a while and said, "It should be, the others are not clear." "How much he escaped, it is estimated that Pabri knows best, but the other party will definitely not say, and of course Wu Ming will not be stupid enough to ask.

"I remember that His Royal Highness swore to go south at that time, a total of 200,000 people, Lang started it, and they were all about to die, it was really ......" Speaking of this, he slammed his mouth.

Wu Ming was a little sad and said, "Yes, they are almost dead." ”

"The Southern Barbarians have a lot of tenders, and they are ...... mixed up"

Until now, it was obvious that he didn't believe it on his face, and Wu Ming couldn't see much sadness or sympathy, more than that, he was gloating.

Although he felt that it was unreasonable to be angry with this kind of small soldier, Wu Ming still said: "The Southern Barbarians are much more powerful than they imagined...... |

"Is it tender?" Xiao Jiang pursed his lips, although he didn't say anything else, but Wu Ming knew that he was probably a little disappreciative in his heart.

From the establishment of the Green Wolf Army to the present, in addition to suppressing all kinds of rebellion in the early stage, in the later period, it was mostly friction with the Southern Barbarians, but under the leadership of Liao Qing, it was more victories and fewer defeats, perhaps, Xiao Jiang believes that the failure of the Southern Expeditionary Army is mostly related to the prince's decision-making mistakes. However, most of the people in the Green Wolf Army are adapted from Shengfan, so naturally they don't have much respect for the imperial court, and it may be a bit difficult for them to maintain respect for the imperial court like other troops.

Wu Ming didn't want to entangle more with the other party on this issue, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "General Liao went to report, how long will it take to get a reply?" ”

Xiao Jiang thought for a while and said, "I don't know about this, it depends on the specific situation." Lord Wu, if you don't think it's funny, you can go to our camp to sit first, and wait a long time to get old. ”

Liao Gang, surrounded by more than a dozen other soldiers, talked and laughed. Several people walked all the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived at their camp. Someone shouted from afar: "Xiao Jiang, who are they, why did Captain Liao run away?" ”

Xiao Jiang said: "I brought the third prince and Lord Wu of the Southern Expeditionary Army's guard battalion, and Captain Liao went to inform the governor of Ludu." ”

There was a commotion in the camp, and they were probably taken aback. When they walked into the camp, there were already some people gathered inside, and they were surrounded by them as soon as they entered the door. A soldier shouted, "Is this really Lord Wu?" "Obviously, this Lord Wu seems to be even more surprised than the third prince.

Wu Ming responded, and those people suddenly surrounded Wu Ming with a hula and asked this and that. Wu Ming already felt a little tired, and these people asked and asked, just a few sentences over and over again, many of them still spoke in jerky and difficult dialects, and he sounded even bigger, and after talking for a while, he was already sweating profusely. Although Xiao Jiang's words were a little more, he was still quite clever, and hurriedly jumped out to relieve the siege and said: "Come on, come on, don't ask, Eagle Fatty, you go to order barley tea on the hour, let the third prince and Lord Wu drink Ha, you guys go away one by one, what are you doing when you get up and down?" ”

The eagle fat man responded: "Okay, okay, Lord Wu, you and the third prince wait a little, I'll go and serve it immediately." "And then he shook his fat ass and went.

Xiao Jiang said: "Third son, your old man and Lord Wu will be more responsible, and Captain Haliao will come back later." Look at what the Governor of Ludu said. ”

The camp is very simple, Wu Ming and Liao Gang are both sitting on the cushion made of saddles, it seems that these wolf soldiers usually have no stools to sit on at all, Wu Ming is nothing, Liao Gang is also used to sleeping in the open during this time, naturally he will not really complain about the other party, after a while, the eagle fat man came out with two pots of barley tea, handed them to the two and said: "Third son, Lord Wu, please taste." ”

Wu Ming took a sip, only to feel that this barley tea was not much different from rice wine, and there was a faint sweetness when drinking, which was also very different from the barley wine on the earth before. I couldn't help but take a few more sips. Liao Gang drank it all after a few sips, then wiped his mouth and said, "It's still delicious from my hometown." ”

He drank very quickly, and these soldiers were a little dumbfounded, maybe in their opinion, the sons of the family are mostly pampered, and it is good to be able to drink this thing, so there is such a thing. Xiao Jiang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say, "You guys look so tender, you look like you've never drunk in eight lifetimes." ”

The fat eagle shook his buttocks, put on a smile and said, "Third son, Master Wu, don't care, he's like this, he doesn't cover his mouth." Lord Wu, now tell us about your southern expedition. ”

Wu Ming took another sip of barley tea, and then said slowly: "The prince has attacked Xinhe City for more than ten days......" He just said it briefly, including the many hardships along the way. I can hear that these green wolf armies are also sighing for a long time. When they said that the Chinese army was broken by elephant soldiers and the prince was killed in battle, they were also embarrassed. Wu Ming's heart really let go of his heart, these ordinary soldiers of the Green Wolf Army are not as ancient as the outside world rumores, at least they still regard themselves as a member of the Eastern Han Dynasty. As long as there is this concept, Liao Qing really wants to be independent, and it will be very difficult.

That Xiao Jiang couldn't help but say: "This southern barbarian is good for the bad, Nenmen has what the messenger said some time ago, obviously deceiving, I ......" The eagle fat man suddenly became anxious, and glanced at him, Xiao Jiang realized that he had said that he had revealed his mouth again, and hurriedly closed his mouth.

Although he closed his mouth quickly, Wu Ming still heard a rough idea, it seems that the Southern Barbarians really sent people here, but I don't know what the result is, whether it was before Liao Qing left, or after he left. After such a hiatus, everyone was a little dumbfounded, and Wu Ming lost interest in continuing to talk, and the scene suddenly cooled down.

At this moment, someone outside shouted, "Where have they all gone?" It was Liao Xiongsheng's voice. Everyone ran out, Wu Ming and Liao Gang also walked out of the camp, but saw that Liao Xiongsheng had already returned, followed by a few soldiers. These people ran in a hurry, sweating profusely, and they didn't know whether they were in a hurry or flowing.

As soon as Liao Xiongsheng saw Wu Ming, he nodded and said, "Lord Wu, we have already informed Lu Du just now, and he said that he will go to prepare for the relevant greeting matters immediately, but if you want to invite the eldest prince, it is best for Lord Wu and the third prince to go in person, and he is not good to say." ”

Wu Ming saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and his heart was even more curious, what was this eldest prince doing, so that these people didn't dare to invite him. He nodded, and Liao Xiongsheng said, "Then please trouble Lord Wu and the third prince to go to Tingya with me." Then he turned to the soldiers and said, "Get out of your mounts." ”

The soldiers jumped off their horses and stood aside, and Wu Ming and Liao Gang immediately rode up. Liao Xiongsheng greeted these people and rode away with Wu Ming and the others. Before leaving, he said to the fat eagle: "You should be careful one by one, if you don't make it, the Persians will be killed, and if there is any abnormal movement, immediately Pegasus will tell you." ”

He said this is not unreasonable, the Persians this crusade to the east, nominally still attack the southern barbarians. But now that the Eastern Han Dynasty is in civil strife, God knows if these Persians will take advantage of the chaos. Wu Ming's heart was relieved, this Liao Xiongsheng could say this, which proved that the Green Wolf Army still had a sense of distress.

Several people galloped along the Tianqing River, and the scenery on both sides quickly retreated backwards, and when they were on the way, Liao Gang looked at the scenery on both sides, and kept muttering: "How can this be, how can this be?" ”

Heading north, the road is lined with rags of cloth and household garbage, and occasionally a few people scatter along the road, rummaging through these things. From time to time, there were many women and children, young and old, who could not walk, huddled on both sides of the road, numbly watching a few people speeding by.

A little boy hugged his mother and shouted "Mommy." Her mother was lying on the side of the road, still holding a broken bowl with the mouth facing the road. But I'm afraid I'll never wake up. The farther north he went, the more and more of these refugees there were, and Wu Ming looked at these scenes, but there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

"Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer. "War, the harm it brings, it is always the people who bear the consequences. This Persian invasion of the east, before the Eastern Han Dynasty, caused the displacement of so many people with just one retreat. Not to mention the two countries involved?

Liao Gang walked for a while, and couldn't help but reprimand angrily: "So many people have not been settled, what are you doing to eat?" ”

Liao Xiongsheng didn't look at it, but just said in a muffled voice: "There are so many people, and they can't be saved, besides, the eldest prince said that all armies must strictly guard their posts and not help the rebellious people privately to prevent changes." ”

"How unreasonable!" Liao Gang's lips trembled, and he was speechless.
