Before writing verse 28, I will say a few words, the role of Maggie, at first only slightly mentioned in my outline, originally did not write much clearly, but a sentence said by Brother Dong inspired me a lot, in troubled times, women and men, beautiful and no status are inferior. It really makes sense, so I decided to bring this poor Qinglou woman to life and explain the heaviness and helplessness of life from another angle.

I hope the readers don't jump their feet, but the readers who can catch up here are great, and I think they can be regarded as adapting to the faint heaviness of my pen. But please rest assured, although I abuse the master more ruthlessly than others, I always let him grow, and the protagonist will end up well.

At the same time, I hope that readers will have great ideas and opinions to put forward in the book review area, maybe one of your opinions, one sentence, will create a vivid character.

This is something more magical than Nuwa's creation of a man.

※※※ The moon is missing again!

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and everywhere there was the mournful cry of the autumn queen grasshopper. There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air, weaving a strange web with the moonlight, covering all the scenery inside. All the eyes came into contact with were the things covered with this net, the tents and the plants and trees, which were not as realistic as they were in the daytime, and seemed to smell of blood.

Wu Ming looked at the bright moon in the sky with his hands in his hands, and couldn't help but sigh.

When she was round, she should be on the way to the west. It was late at night, and the soldiers were already camping. Occasionally, a group or two of patrolling soldiers walked around the camp with spears and torches. Although he won a big battle today, there was an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.

He shook his head, and then slipped into Left Shadow's tent. The people of the left shadow have changed a lot, but his simple style has not changed. His tent was no different from an ordinary little general, if it weren't for the two servants standing next to him, Wu Ming would have suspected that he had gone to the wrong place.

The lights were lit in the tent, and the lights jumped suddenly, making Wu Ming, who had just walked in from under the moonlight, very uncomfortable. It took him a long time to get used to the light. The left shadow is sitting on a stool, reading a book with his head down in the light. Now every time Wu Ming sees him, the most he sees is that he is flipping through a book. He sighed and said slowly: "Zuo Changshi, what's the matter with me looking for me so late?" ”

Zuo Ying glanced up at Wu Ming, put down the book and said, "Lord Wu, you are the chief general of the first army, and it is said that I should visit you, but the lower official is inconvenient and has trespassed." As he spoke, waving his hand, the two servants bowed and bowed, and then slowly withdrew.

After the two of them left the tent, Wu Ming found a chair, sat opposite Zuo Ying and said, "Xiaoying, now there is no third person in the tent, so we don't need to be so polite." If you have something to say, say it openly. ”

Hearing Wu Ming say this, Zuo Ying's hand shook. The discoloration on his face flashed, but disappeared immediately. Still said lightly: "Lord Wu is polite, the lower officials invited you here today to discuss the next plan of action with you." ”

Wu Ming looked at his silent face, and sighed in his heart, knowing that the relationship between the two would never be restored to before. He said straight to the point: "Today's big victory is all thanks to Zuo Changshi's planning. After a pause, he said with great regret: "It's a pity that Liao Sheng's reinforcements arrived at a critical time." ”

Zuo Ying smiled: "Lord Wu is polite, this victory is all thanks to the brothers of the Guards Battalion. However, this operation, although due to the timely arrival of Liao Sheng's reinforcements, failed to achieve full success. However, the goal of severely inflicting a blow on Liao Shi has been basically achieved, and this great victory in the first battle has a great effect on the morale of the army. And Liao Sheng's reinforcements arrived, which was both unexpected and reasonable, but it was just faster than expected. ”

Looking at his calm appearance, he is obviously confident. Wu Ming frowned and said, "According to the statistics of the baggage battalion, the enemy's casualties today are about 11,000, counting those who fled halfway. Liao Shi still has nearly 10,000 remaining troops, and according to the news obtained by scouts, the troops of Liao Sheng's reinforcement this time are about 20,000, that is. We are facing more enemies than ever before. Although this time the victory was resounding, the Guards Battalion also suffered several hundred casualties, and the ratio of forces between the two sides had increased from nearly two to one to more than two to one. ”

Zuo Ying didn't answer his question, but said: "Lord Wu, General Jian's soybeans are chaotic enemies, which can be said to be a stroke of genius. And this is exactly what you came up with at that time, you can think of such a brilliant idea, you must have a plan for the next battle, why should you hide it in front of your subordinates? ”

Hearing him compliment, Wu Ming's face was a little unnatural. These expressions naturally fell in Zuo Ying's eyes, he pretended not to see them, and continued: "The comparison of the forces of the two sides now seems to be even more disparity than before, but the war is not only about the strength of the troops. The strength of the army may be a constraint on the current enemy. ”

He said neither humbly nor arrogantly, and Wu Ming also calmed down and became a loyal and good listener. At the right time, he asked: "Oh, Lord Zuo, let's talk about it, the enemy has more troops, why is it hindered?" ”

"The so-called constraints are mainly two points. The first is that the orders are different, and the contradiction between Liao Shi and his brother Liao Sheng is known to everyone. Now that Liao Shi is defeated, he is even more jealous of his brother. As soon as Liao Sheng's reinforcements came, I am afraid that it was not us who he guarded the most, but Liao Sheng. In order to prevent Liao Shengjiu from occupying the magpie's nest, he would even come up with various reasons to prevent the arrival of Liao Sheng's successor reinforcements. In this way, the opponent's position is in chaos, and the soldiers are powerful, which is the most important point of marching and fighting. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled: "This is also an important reason why I ask Lord Wu to spare Liao Shi's life once I meet him." Once Liao Shi is killed, Liao Sheng will use his position to immediately grasp the military and political power of Chengzhou firmly in his hands. In this way, we will be able to deal with it with half the effort. ”

He spoke eloquently and confidently. Wu Ming couldn't help but ask, "What about the second point?" ”

"Next? The combat strength of the Guards Battalion has already frightened Liao Shi, and their troops can be said to have no fighting spirit. Let them unite as one first, these defeated Chinese and Western soldiers will definitely try their best to brag about the strength of our cavalry in order to cover up the shame of defeat, so that they will become warless. When this fear spreads, the morale of the other party will naturally be low. Once this happens, the enemy's combat power will also be greatly reduced. ”

Wu Ming nodded secretly, and pondered for a long time before saying: "But even so, the other party still has nearly 30,000 people, if we really have the heart to defend it strictly, we will definitely have no chance." ”

Zuo Ying said: "Lord Wu, what is the most important thing in cavalry combat?" ”

This is mentioned in the "Twenty-four Questions on the Marching Strategy", and when he was leaving, Yang Xiong also suggested to him, Wu Ming said without thinking: "Of course, it is morale and mobility. As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized and understood what Zuo Ying meant. In this battle, the Chinese and Western sides suffered heavy casualties, and they will definitely be more careful, at least for a short time, they will definitely break off the idea of competing with their own side on the grassland. In this way, in this vast grassland, the host and guest changed positions, the shape was reversed, and the offensive power was in the hands of the Southern Han.

Looking at Wu Ming's thoughtful appearance, Zuo Ying showed a smile on his face, and continued: "At present, the enemy's morale is low, and the orders are different, and the initiative is in our hands. How this battle will be fought is not up to us. ”

Wu Ming said: "But even if this is the case, what if the enemy blindly defends and refuses to fight?" ”

Left Shadow played a trick and took out a paper tube from under his chair. The paper tube was about a cubit long, the thickness of a wrist, and a layer of black paper tightly wrapped around it, and I don't know what it was. He took it out, then clapped his hands and said, "Someone." ”

One of the servants came in and asked, "Is there something wrong, sir?" ”

"Push me out."

One of Zuo Ying's legs is useless, although he has a wheelchair, but his movement is inconvenient, and now he has a special person to serve him in his daily life. These two servants were specially appointed by the prime minister to serve Zuo Ying. Hearing him say this, the servant saluted, pushed the left shadow, and went out of the tent. Zuo Ying turned his head and said to Wu Ming, "Lord Wu, go out with me." ”

Wu Ming stood up and said a little inexplicably: "What are you doing?" ”

The servant had already pushed the left shadow to the door of the tent, "Isn't it boring to sit in the tent and talk about such a good night?" I'm going to ask Kure-sama to watch the fireworks! ”

※※※"Ouch, it hurts to death." ”

Liao Shi was bare-chested, half of his nose was collapsed, his face was swollen into a pig's head, and under the light, his facial features were even more unusually hideous. But this time he was not lying down, but lying on the bed and humming. With his call, the fat on his body also trembled up and down, undulating like a wave. A medical officer was medicating his back, and as soon as he applied the potion, Liao Shi called out like a pig again: "Ouch, hey, it hurts Lao Tzu." Don't you know how to lighten up? ”

The doctor's hand shook, and the medicine bottle in his hand fell on his back. He suddenly screamed like a pig again: "Ah, come on, drag this old boy out to play a twenty-big board first, and then talk about it, so as to see the after-effects." Immediately, two five big and three thick soldiers rushed in, pulled up the medical officer and dragged him out, and the medical officer shouted wronged. made Liao's second son even more annoyed, and said even more fiercely: "Pull it down and beat it hard, whether you live or die." ”

Seeing the medical officer's screams, Liao Shi's depression eased a little. He exhaled and said to Mei Ji, who was sitting next to him and weeping silently: "Don't cry, beauty, when you cry, I not only have a pain in my back, but also a pain in my heart." As he spoke, he pointed to his bloody back and said, "Come, you can give me some medicine." ”

The wound on his back was severe, with hardly a single piece of epidermis intact.

He was shot by Wu Ming and fell off his horse, and the most serious injury should have been his face. But when he fell to the ground, there was chaos all around, and his two personal soldiers didn't know that Wu Ming would not take Liao Shi's life, so when the other two were covering, they pulled up Liao Shi and ran.

Maggie stepped forward and bent down to pick up the bottle that the Medic had dropped on the floor. Then he stretched out his five fingers, poured some powder in the palm of his hand, carefully sprinkled it on Liao Shi's back, and said in a greasy voice: "Second son, is this better?" ”

Liao Shi snorted a few times, "Sure enough, it's much better, the beauty is really extraordinary." Everything is comforting and tight. Even this medicine is much better than the clumsy quack. Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, looked out of the tent with some anxiety, and whispered: "You should be careful these days, and try not to wander around the camp as much as possible......"

Mei Ji's eyes fluttered, and she pouted and said, "Second son, you promised others not to interfere with their freedom, why do you regret it now?" Mmmmmmmm......mm

How could Liao Shi resist it, and said again and again: "Don't cry, don't cry, my words will naturally count, but now that my son is in a big defeat, there are not many troops in his hands, Liao Sheng's kid is a typical guy who thinks about problems with his lower body, in case he sees you." I'm afraid, I'm afraid ......" He originally wanted to say, worried that Liao Sheng would have a bad heart when he saw Mei Ji's charming appearance, and he really wanted to take advantage of the situation to snatch it, and with his current strength, he might not be able to protect it. But when the words came to his mouth, as soon as he saw Mei Ji's crying appearance, he immediately softened and changed his words: "Don't worry, even if I don't want to fight hard, I have to protect you." ”

Mei Ji burst into tears and smiled, threw a wink at Liao Shi, and said coquettishly: "Second son, please rest assured, although he is just a concubine, he also knows the truth from the beginning to the end." In the past three years, the heroism of the second son has been deeply rooted in the hearts of others, and he can no longer tolerate others......"

When Liao Shi heard this, it was more refreshing than drinking ice water on dog days, and said with a smile: "It's good to know......" Just as he wanted to move his hands and feet, he suddenly pulled the injury on his back, so he had to barn his teeth and say: "Beauty, you go down first." When my son's injury heals, I'll come to play with you again, okay? ”

Maggie stood up, bowed, and said, "Yes." Then he walked out of the way. When he walked to the door, Liao Shi was a little uneasy after all, and instructed: "Be careful, I'll let the soldiers send you down." ”

As he spoke, Mei Ji was not allowed to speak, so he roared: "Liao Eryang! ”

The soldier named Liao Eryang said outside the tent: "Son, the villain is here." ”

"You send me to the camp to rest, but nothing will go wrong."

Liao Eryang said: "Son, rest assured, I promise that I will not lose a single hair of my wife." ”

Coming out of the tent, Liao Eryang escorted Mei Ji and walked all the way to the left.

Originally, according to Liao Shi's meaning, he directly arranged Mei Ji in his own camp. But it was resolutely opposed by Wei Lin, and if he really wanted to do so, I am afraid that this Liao Shi would be even more ridiculous. When the time comes, let alone fighting, whether you can get up every day is a question. Even his tent, I'm afraid few people dare to break in. Liao Shi finally had to compromise, so he set up a pink tent for Mei Ji and invited two maids.

In this way, although there is still a bit of suspicion of stealing the bell, Liao Shi is still messing with this Mei Ji most of the time, but every time Wei Lin asks to see Liao Shi, he can always ask Mei Ji if she is there, so that the soldiers can be clear, but it will also be a lot less embarrassing.

It was late at night, but the whole camp was still noisy, and there were wounded and wailing soldiers everywhere, and it was a mess. If it weren't for the timely arrival of reinforcements this time, Liao Shi would have been chased by the Southern Han Iron Cavalry all the way, and most of these people would have become battlefield ghosts.

Liao Eryang shouted all the way: "Disperse, disperse." Ran into Mrs. Maggie, and see that the second son does not pull out your skin. As soon as the soldiers saw the two of them, they dared to stop them, and they flashed to the side, staring at Meggie and swallowing their saliva.

Chinese and Western soldiers, most of them are raw. Not to mention wartime, it is rare to see such a bewitching beauty even in peacetime. The second son's woman can't be touched, and it's always not illegal to see if it's always illegal.

Although Liao Shi and Mei Ji's tent were not far apart, Mei Ji moved lightly, but she walked very slowly. Maggie is used to this kind of scene, and she doesn't feel anything about it all the way. Liao Eryang walked for a while, and felt that these soldiers were looking at him with green eyes one by one, but they were a little like a man. He was no longer majestic, and whispered a reminder in the back: "Madam, for safety, let's go faster." ”
