Chapter 102: Thunder
Nanshan was the last to arrive at the camp on horseback, and the three horsemen who followed Zhu Yunfeng obviously didn't get any courtesy, not even a single sergeant who came to pick up and lead the horse.
"Vomit-" After Nanshan turned over and dismounted, he almost crawled to the side of the firewood pile, and while holding his body steady, he vomited without caring about the image.
This move finally provoked some sergeants to look over here, and the horses they left for the three people to ride did belong to the cavalry battalion under Zhu Yunfeng's command, so the sergeants would not doubt their identities, but seeing the appearance of the three people clearly, everyone couldn't help but start to wonder.
"Who is this?" One of the guards at the bottom of the lookout turned his head and whispered to his companion who was standing guard beside him.
"Who knows...... The general has been fighting for many years, and he has never brought a female dependant with him......" The other guard replied in a quieter voice, shaking his head.
"And an old man, look at his thin arms, I don't know if I can lift the sword at my waist......" The guard continued to exchange his head, and inadvertently, the "old man" in his mouth had already looked at him.
"That guy looks pretty good, he should be in good shape."
The guy he mentioned was Zhang Yingying, who strode behind Nanshan at this time, and asked with some concern, "Nan ...... Miss Nan, why don't I help you to sit over there and rest, right? ”
In the season of nine cold days, Zhang Yingying was wearing a loose and loose shirt, light and fluttering linen material, and only two buttons were buttoned on his chest.
Nanshan didn't even drink much water along the way, and he really couldn't vomit anything at this time, so he only retched as if he was going to vomit all the liver and gallbladder, and his face turned red.
"Huh? It shouldn't be......" Zhu Yunfeng wiped his face with a white handkerchief, and walked out of the big tent in the middle of the camp, seeing Nanshan's embarrassed appearance, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "When did you become so delicate?" I'm willing to take you with me because you're pretty good-looking......"
As soon as he said this, Nanshan felt that the eyes of the whole camp were suddenly on her, but unfortunately she could only frown slightly, and weakly gestured on her neck with a hand knife, hinting to Zhu Yunfeng: "If you dare to say more nonsense, the old lady will cut ......you immediately."
But such a threat couldn't frighten Zhu Yunfeng at all, he snorted twice and said, "Don't say it's me if you look like that, I'm afraid that even the enemy will salivate when you see it, right?" When the time comes, if we lose the battle and want to withdraw, we will hang you on the flagpole and beg others to let us live...... Guaranteed to be unpleasant. ”
As he spoke, he also blinked at Nanshan very firmly, so angry that Nanshan almost fainted.
After settling down, Nanshan naturally couldn't allow him to continue to be so open-mouthed, speaking of which, she wasn't really unable to deal with such a thing as a long-distance run, in fact, she only needed to use some thoughts a little to maintain a state of concentration, not to mention riding a horse for three or four hours, even if she was allowed to stand on the horse for a day and a night, it was extremely easy.
But only if the horses can stand it.
And she was reluctant to use her mind, because she didn't know where the front-line war would develop, and she didn't know what kind of danger she would encounter, so she might inevitably have to do the Origin Forbidden Spectrum technique again to watch the stars, in order to find a more accurate and stable response.
It's not easy to accumulate this thing, and if she uses this hard-won idea just to relieve the discomfort caused by horseback riding, then she'd rather be a little embarrassed and miserable.
Zhu Yunfeng had already walked to her side, looked sideways at Zhang Yingying, and suddenly smiled: "Look, your little follower is in a very good state." ”
"I'm not an acolyte!" Zhang Yingying's eyes widened and he roared.
Although he no longer despised Nanshan as much as before, he did not have much humility, and along the way he kept convincing himself that this action was to follow his master into battle to kill the enemy, even if his master refused to say a word to him now, he still did not change his original intention.
Zhu Yunfeng frowned, and said with a surprised look: "Oh? Don't you even have a reason to come with us? Old General Fu made it very clear last night, and further on is the Shura battlefield, a place that you half-grown child soldiers can go to casually. ”
"What do you say?" Zhang Yingying stared at Zhu Yunfeng's sharp and piercing eyes, and his five fingers had been pinched into an iron fist.
"Alright, you go get some rest, we don't have much time to spend here." Nanshan patted his chest to ease himself, and hurriedly stood in front of Zhang Yingying to persuade.
"Yes, there are some food ...... prepared in the tent" Zhu Yunfeng looked up at the position of the sun, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now you still have half an hour left to rest." ”
So, half an hour later, the four of them stepped on their horses again, and the next journey would take longer than the previous section, so the camp specially prepared dry food and water bags for the four people, and the horses of Nanshan and the others were also replaced with strong horses in the Western Regions.
It's just that Nanshan was surprised to find that Zhu Yunfeng didn't change his horses, he still rode his previous snow-white tall horse, which looked very outstanding.
Perhaps he gradually got used to the state of riding a horse, and became more and more energetic in the next few days of Nanshan, on the contrary, Zhang Yingying suffered a lot from Fu Hong all the way, and the whole person fell into a kind of "who am I, what am I doing here, why do I come to ......" entanglement, and he can't extricate himself.
Finally, the four of them arrived at Lizhou County half a day before the original plan.
And this small county town, which was originally peaceful and comfortable, has now become the first line of defense under the fierce battlefield of fire and blood.
The 300,000 royal troops that came with Qingyue were not stationed here, and it is said that they were originally going to send some of the royal army over, but several of Qingyue's advisers thought that it was impossible to disperse their forces now, because the Dongxia army that was about to confront it was also led by the monarch himself, and I heard that they were still gathering and recruiting soldiers, trying to assemble a huge army of up to 500,000 people.
The most elite First Legion under Zhu Yunfeng's command was assigned to be stationed here before, and Zhu Yunfeng blew a sip of slightly hot tea in the cup with an indifferent expression, while listening to the recent military reports of the corps commander and deputy commander.
"General, according to the subordinates, the battlefield is likely to move more than 20 miles eastward, and the king has been fighting all the way east, and the good news has been repeated, and by the way, he has also recovered Sangzhou Province, Qizhou Province and Zhezhou Province occupied by Dongzhixia along the way......" The bearded commander said excitedly.
"The day before yesterday, I received a message that Wang Jun had arrived at the port of Songji in Saizhou Province, and was now assembling warships and preparing to cross the river." The deputy commander's hand kept pointing and drawing on the map, and the expression on his face was very happy.
Zhu Yunfeng looked at the various marks on the map, but he didn't say a word, he, like Qingyue, didn't believe in gods or numerology, although Qingyue sometimes took the initiative to ask about the stars of Nanshan, but just with a kind of respect, or simply looking for a common topic between the two.
Therefore, this time, he also did not believe Nanshan's "alarmist" "death match".
Death match, as the name suggests, is that the two sides are evenly matched, and they fight to the death in a certain time and place, but now it seems that Qingyue seems to be smooth sailing, if Wang Jun is allowed to board a boat from Gilda Port to cross the river, the other side of the river is already the land of Dongzhixia.
"Originally, it was enough to resist foreign invasion, but the king ...... Why rush to cross the river? ”
Zhu Yunfeng took a sip of tea and stared directly at a meandering stream of water from north to south on the map, which was a large river that forcibly separated the two countries, originating in the land of the extreme northern glaciers, running all the way through the southern continents of the two countries, rushing and roaring towards the southernmost vast sea.
"Lord Fang said that it is necessary to rush to attack before the recruitment of the 500,000 legions of the Eastern Xia Emperor is completed, and see if he can take some advantages." The deputy commander quickly responded, and the Lord Fang he mentioned was none other than the chief strategist of the Qingyue Imperial Front, the right Zaifu Fang Yu.
And the other Zuo Zaifu, who is known as the Qingzhiyue National Scholar Shuangbi with Fang Yu, is holding the jade seal of the prison country at the moment, sticking to the cabinet of the royal capital.
If it weren't for absolute trust, Qingyue, as the king of a country, would not dare to rush to the front line in person.
It's just that Zhu Yunfeng scoffed at this, he didn't believe in absolute loyalty, nor did he believe in the trust given by Qingyue's face, he only recognized the power in his hands, at least whether it was Zuo Zaifu or Right Zaifu, he didn't have any military power in his hands, even if he was a first-class general in front of the emperor, he only mastered a bunch of border garrisons with mediocre strength.
"Heh, he also believes Fang Yu's little old man's words, aren't you afraid that if you are not careful, you will be pushed into the river by him?" Zhu Yunfeng said what he thought unabashedly.
The faces of the two commanders showed embarrassed looks at the same time, and it was not the first day that their generals were outspoken, but they casually labeled the first product of the court Zaisuke as a "little old man", and cursed the king endlessly......
The commander and the deputy commander looked at each other blankly, and immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to answer, almost lowering their heads into the creaky nest.
Zhu Yunfeng felt funny, shook his head nonchalantly and said, "You are all wrong, where is the king so stupid, I guess he took this risk...... Probably for the sake of merit. ”
"Obvious? Manifestation? The commander of the legion felt that he couldn't keep up with General Zhu's thinking, tilted his head and repeated.
"Whose merit is it to show? To whom...... Who is meritorious? The deputy commander also asked.
In their opinion, they are already the supreme position of a country, do they still need to risk the possibility of complete defeat or even the annihilation of the entire army to make meritorious achievements?
Could it be that he wants to show merit to the people of Limin?
Zhu Yunfeng's eyes suddenly narrowed, waved his hand to signal the two commanders to come over, and then said softly in the ears of the two people: "The king and the south hall have made a bet, if the king can return this time without relying on the south hall's star asking technique, the south hall will ...... Hehe, she willingly sat on the throne of the queen......"
A completely marginal nonsense, to the ears of the two commanders at this moment, it was like a thunderbolt in the cold and severe winter, blowing the two of them into a charred black mass from head to toe.
