Chapter 3: No Clothes (5b)

All those who have been through a hundred battles, together with their vigilant hearts, the coercion will naturally be revealed. How strong the murderous aura accumulated in this bloody rain and bloody wind was, not only Shi Lan could feel it, but even the war horses under the crotches of the two of them were frightened and restless. The black wind let out a low roar, its hooves tense, and as soon as the master on his back lifted the reins, he rushed half of the electricity towards the blade. However, the peach blossom skull that Erya was riding was screaming, trying to move his body a few feet away.

"Qiyu will ......" Zhou Daniu and Guo Fang rushed back to pay the order, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so they were so frightened that they couldn't say the second half of the sentence for a while, and stood five feet away in a daze.

"What's the matter?" Li Xu quickly adjusted his mentality, took his hand off the hilt, and asked with a smile.

"General, the old and weak in the cottage said that the general promised not to kill a single person, and they were willing to open the door and surrender. Otherwise, it would be better to burn all the jade! Guo Fang wiped the sweat on his forehead, which he didn't know whether he was tired or frightened, and answered first.

"Answer them, I will not kill old people, women and children, as for men, since they have raised their knives, they should know that there will be such a day!" Li Xu forcibly suppressed the irritability in his heart and replied coldly.

"Yes, the last general will go to the herald immediately!" Guo Fang didn't know why Li Xu was angry just now, but his scalp was numb because of the powerful momentum on the other party's body, so he couldn't wait to stay away.

"You're not busy yet!" Before he could turn around, Li Xu added in a deep voice, "Tell the bandits in the village that I will not bargain with them anymore, nor will I kill innocents indiscriminately." If they're still men, they know what to do! ”

"Honor!" Guo Fang agreed and galloped away. Li Xu waited for him to go far away, looked at the big bull who was at a loss on the side, and asked with a frown: "Has General Zhang started to collect troops?" Why haven't you seen him turn around? What about the casualties of the brothers, and are the results of the count? ”

"Prisoners, too many prisoners. General Zhang escorted them and was slowly rushing back. If the general needs him to come as soon as possible, I will immediately send a horse to urge him. Fang Changshi has already counted the casualties of the brothers, and he will send them soon. If the general needs to know urgently, I will pass it on to you! Zhou Daniu didn't think about it and replied quickly.

"No, you take a few people to send Madame back to the camp. I'll personally pick up General Zhang! Li Xu shook his head and commanded loudly.

knew that Er Ya was unwilling to leave, but Zhou Daniu did not dare to disobey the boss's order, so he had to urge the mount to step forward and gently pull the reins of the peach blossom skull. Er Ya was also frightened by Li Xu's appearance just now, and without saying a word, he let Zhou Daniu take himself and his mount away from the battlefield. After walking hundreds of steps, he couldn't bear it anymore, and the big tears rolled down his face one by one.

Seeing that his wife was crying, Zhou Daniu didn't persuade him, nor did he persuade him, he only held back the bruises on his forehead before he muttered a comforting word, "The bloody atmosphere on the battlefield is heavy, so people are inevitably irritable." The general's fire may not be directed at you, madam, don't think too much! ”

"I know he's worried about state affairs!" Shi Lan wiped away her tears and said in a low voice. "But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty don't care whether the country is lost or not, how much he can manage alone. He always thinks that the heroes of the world are as old-fashioned and enthusiastic as him, but he doesn't know that people's hearts are separated by stomachs, how can he guess what others are asking for at this time! ”

Zhou Daniu listened to Shi Lan's words with a lot of resentment, and suddenly felt embarrassed. It is indeed not a rational choice for his own general to lead his troops to compete with Wagang at this moment. But it is precisely because the general is a hot-blooded man that he follows him with all his heart. Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice to persuade: "What Madame said just now, the general may not have thought of it. It's just a matter between men, and the lady may not understand, so it's better not to interfere as much as possible! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shi Lan was stunned by the big bull, put away her tears, and asked angrily.

"Madame must also know that the general came from a humble background, and he doesn't have so many relatives and friends left by his father to help him! To be able to get to such a field today, it is all made with a knife. Zhou Daniu thought about it and replied.

The generals in the army, he is one of the few who has been following Li Xu since the Xiongwu Battalion, so he is clear about Li Xu's growth experience over the years. In his spare time, he also dreamed that he was Li Xu and could dominate the situation like him. But the longer he followed the other party, the more he respected Li Xu. I know that even if I am in the same position and have the same opportunities, I can't do as well as the general.

Over the years, there have been countless guys in the army who started at the same time as General Li, whose family background is ten times better than that of General Li, and who are ten times smarter than General Li, who are either unknown or completely lose power, but General Li has always walked up step by step, and this situation must not be described by the word "luck". It is the concentrated embodiment of a person's talent, ability, and ability to accurately grasp and judge the situation. None of the choices seem to be the smartest, but all the choices connected are much more effective than being clever at a single stage.

"You're right! If he has a lot of resourceful people around him, I don't have to worry about him so much! Hearing what Da Niu said mysteriously, Erya's attention was slightly attracted, and the grievances in her heart suddenly felt much lighter, and she responded with a pair of teary eyes.

Zhou Daniu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Those so-called wise men are very powerful, before the general rises, which of them is willing to follow sincerely?" With a sigh, he continued: "Even if they are willing to follow, the idea must be that most of them are vicious and vicious, and if the general listens, it will be bad. ”

"And why?" Shi Lan was completely stunned by Zhou Daniu, and asked with teary eyes.

"Take the matter in front of you as an example, Zhao Sima, Cui Taishou, including Wu Tongshou of Qi County, who has never persuaded the general to temporarily give up the idea of avenging Boss Zhang and wait and see how the situation changes." Zhou Daniu looked around and found that there were no irrelevant people eavesdropping on the side, explaining in a very small voice. "But Mr. Zhang is kind to our general, if his head is hung on Wagang Mountain and exposed to the wind and sun and the general ignores it, Madam, please think about the heroes and heroes of the world, what will you think of our general?"

"Moreover, His Majesty has repeatedly promoted generals without exception, although he has failed the world, he has never failed him. If the general refuses to come south, those who know will know that he has not received the decree at all, and those who do not know will think that he has seen that the situation is not good and has become a turtle with a shrunken head. What will the imperial examination scholars who once had high hopes for the great generals think? Do they still think that there is any difference between the great general and those children of wealthy families? Zhou Da Newn paused and continued to add.

Because of the speed of his speech, his breathing became very uneven, and his face was extremely red. But every word was to the point, and the other party couldn't help but nod his head again and again.

"Madame, please think that those who are now following under the command of the general are more or less coming for his name. If he doesn't go south, it will be unrighteous for Boss Zhang, and for His Majesty, it will be disloyalty. Even if it's a lady, would you like to live a lifetime with such a man in the bag?! ”

"Zhou, General Zhou is right, I, I do see shallow!" Shi Lan was angry at the question, lowered her head, and responded in a gnat-like voice.

"Not only that, nearly half of the generals in our Boling army are from Qi County. If the general refuses to stand up for Mr. Zhang, what will the generals think of him, and can the army still be at peace? The six counties of Boling are a place of four wars, and it has been less than two years since the general took over, and the time and place are not there, and all that can be relied on is people. If the army is in turmoil, can the six counties of Boling still be saved? To tell you the truth, I have followed the general for so many years, and I have hesitated when I saw him make a decision, but I have never seen it so difficult as this one. So if Madame wants to help him, it's better not to disturb his state of mind! ”

"I, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of ......." Shi Lan wanted to say that he was afraid that someone would attack Li Xu behind his back for the sake of everyone's future, but he was afraid of upsetting Zhou Daniu after saying it, so he hesitated and couldn't answer for a long time.

"No matter what Madame is afraid of, she can only do it quietly for the general, and she can't just say it. Otherwise, the brethren will think that the general thinks that a woman is more important than the lives of all of them combined, and that it is a bad thing for the general! Zhou Daniu turned his body and said very solemnly.

"General Zhou is very right! I know what to do! Shi Lan is also a smart woman, knowing that Zhou Daniu was completely out of kindness, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and responded with a smile.

"I followed the general in the second expedition to Liao, and I believe that the general is not a stupid person. Madame had better believe the general as well, otherwise it will only make things more and more chaotic! Seeing that Shi Lan had fully accepted his suggestion, Zhou Daniu smiled and concluded.

Since you have become his woman, believe in him and do what he has missed. Shi Lan nodded, thinking silently in her heart. She found that she now understood very well why after learning that Li Xu was about to go south, instead of stopping her, she prepared food and grass for her husband who shared them. That is the wisdom of being a woman that has been passed down from generations of the family, and I have just opened the door, and I still need to learn a lot......

"Where did you learn these ways, and did the general tell you to tell me these words?" After chewing Zhou Daniu's advice a few times, she raised her head a little confused and asked.

"No, it's not!" Zhou Daniu suddenly panicked and stammered and replied, "I saw it myself, Madame, remember that these words should not be mentioned to anyone at all." Otherwise, it will not only cause the general, but also you, your unborn children, and me, and invite countless troubles! ”
