Chapter 261: Great Victory
At this time, less than half of Thunder's men and horses were left, except for the wounded soldiers who went back, there were only about 20,000, and this operation must not be lost, and he sent a team to explore the way.
The journey was calm, and it was too smooth, which made him feel uneasy, Da'an really forgot about this? Or do you selectively not want to remember?
The reconnaissance team came back and said that everything was normal ahead, there were no traps, no signs of human activity, and the weeds were growing tall.
"How far have you come? Is there half of it in the valley? ”
"Back to Dashuai, I walked for more than half of it, and it didn't look like there was anyone inside." Thunder was finally relieved, and with a wave of his big hand, he moved forward at full speed.
"After the valley, there is a flat river in front of you, and the mountain villages are one after another, and when the time comes, the brothers don't have to be polite, just grab whatever they want!"
Hearing these vicious words, the soldiers cheered, and the frustration and exhaustion of the days were swept away. Everyone quickened their pace, but they never expected that this beautiful valley in front of them would be a point of no return.
The team quickly walked into the hinterland, and suddenly, Thunder heard a strange sound, which seemed to be a stone rolling! When I looked up, I was so frightened that my soul was scattered, and the slopes on both sides were full of stones at some point!
"The back team becomes the front team, turn around and run!"
He cried out, terrified! But it was too late, the stones at both ends rolled down first, and soon, the road was blocked, and then the small stones fell like rain, and the screams were endless, and there were no more commanders and soldiers here, and the stones did not recognize people.
Iron Bull stood on the hillside, laughing happily,
"Thunder, do you know? Grandpa, how long have I been waiting for you? It's been ten days, insect bites, cold, hunger, and I'm dying of thirst, we didn't dare to move, hahaha, big brother, the iron bull has avenged you!! ”
He laughed almost maniacally, tears streaming uncontrollably, and watched as the stone rolled down, and gradually, there was no more sound underneath.
A few days later, Manqing knew the whole process, and she only lamented in her heart, she only designed to trap them, who knew that this would be the end in the end,
"You can't blame Tie Niu for this, it's my order, there are too many prisoners, we can't control it at all, if there is a mutiny, the consequences are immeasurable." King Ding explained to her, and Manqing also understood that war was so cruel!
The good news was transmitted back to the imperial court, the emperor was excited and didn't sleep all night, the yellow sand castle was his taboo, the biggest shame in this life, and now in this way he avenged Da'an, and the castle built by the ancestors was also taken back.
The next day, the emperor was the first to go to the court, and the first order to be proposed was to commend them, in addition to the king and them, there was also the lord of Minghui, and the kung fu of returning to his hometown could make this great achievement.
The war is over, but the drought is still the same, Manqing, who returned to Da'an, is in Yangling Village, and she is discussing the matter of planting millet with the village chief.
"Although the yield of millet is not high, it is particularly resistant to drought, and now it is rushed, and the harvest will be in three months, and if it rains, wheat can be planted in autumn."
The village chief took the seeds, and was very grateful, although they still had food, but so many people still had to plan for next year.
Back to Sujia Village, under the command of the second grandfather, all the millet was planted, at this time, every family is carrying water to water the ground, since there is a waterwheel, this work has basically not been done, but in order to survive, no one dares to be lazy at this time.
"The young people of the village have returned? There are a lot of people in the field. ”
"Yes, the border pass is a great victory, they have run back when they hear the letter, there is no war, of course they have to come back to fight the drought, and our river has not stopped."
The second grandfather laughed, he even told Man Qing that he wanted his youngest son to come back too,
"I left the second uncle, do I really need him to help me, is the second grandfather reluctant?"
"He can help you, I can't wait for it, who in the clan hasn't thanked you all these years, how many things have you done for us? You can use him, hehe, isn't this afraid that he will cause trouble for you? ”
These days, she wanders around the fields, and actually adds some stream water to the water, and with its moisture, not to mention the harvest, at least it will not be lost.
The given king also left a large number of seeds, and asked him to promote them in the north, and said that he would repay the seed money after the harvest, and with this batch of grain, a large-scale famine should not occur, of course, provided that the weather does not continue to drought.
Two months later, in the midst of the greenery, her carriage was about to return, and it was no surprise that in a month, the grain would be harvested, and the delightful ears of grain had begun to be displayed.
"You go back, and after a while, let Brother Wen send you to the capital, and stay a few more days this time." She plans to buy a small courtyard for her second grandfather, and come to live in the capital when she is not busy.
"Okay, when the new grain is laid, I'll give you some to taste, if it weren't for your blessing, we would have to save haha."
When the car was out of sight, the old man walked back, constantly greeting all the way.
"Be diligent, water more to harvest well, and you can't live up to the kindness of the county lord."
The carriage was galloping on the official road, she had been out for almost three months, and it was already early summer, because of the drought, there were not many weeds on the roadside, and the carriage galloped by, raising a cloud of dust.
Suddenly, it was getting dark, was it going to rain? I haven't had a drop in these three months.
"Master, it's almost dark outside, let's find a place to take refuge." Ma Yuan's eyes were pitch black, and he hurriedly grabbed the reins,
Man Qing opened the curtains and was stunned when he saw the outside, it was just noon, even if it was going to rain, it didn't have to be so dark.
was in shock, the car suddenly moved, as if flying into the air, Man Qing knew in his heart that if he could do this, he was definitely not an ordinary person, could it be that his punishment came?
She lifted the curtain, and Ma Yuan was already lying on the wheel, surrounded by a white fog, and she couldn't see anything clearly, but fortunately, the carriage was still stable, and there was no bump.
That is, from the country, then Anzhi, she asked herself if she had used any special means, to say that the valley ambush soldiers, that is also the idea of the king, but the thunder is in the urn by itself! And this can happen on the territory of Daan.
"Girl, if the opponent is too strong, you can hide by yourself and leave us alone." Although Ah Shuang looked afraid, she still decided that she couldn't drag down her master.
"If you want to run, you must bring it with you, how can you two be left behind? However, I don't think it's going to be okay. Her premonition had always been very accurate, and sure enough, at the same time as the car landed, a voice sounded,
"Haha, I'm sorry, I take the liberty to invite you to come over, someone inquire." The attitude is very good, it is indeed very presumptuous, after hearing this, Manqing's heart is still a little fixed.
"You, who are you? Stay back! Girl, beware! ”
