Chapter 21: First Sight
Zhen Jili hurriedly pulled Ji Yu to avoid the side of the road, and before she could react, she was pressed on the head.
The team swept in front of him like a gust of wind, and Ji Yu was choked with a nose of ash.
Everyone passed, Zhen Jili was still holding her, and she was just about to break away, when she heard him grit his teeth and whisper: "Don't move!" ”
At this moment, a horse's hooves clattered and stopped beside the two.
A slightly chilly voice came from above his head.
"Why are there women here?"
Ji Yu's heart instantly lifted.
Zhen Jili also stumbled nervously: "Hui general, general, this is the villain's sister, there is an urgent matter at home, she came to find the villain......"
In front of him was a black horse, without a wisp of variegated color, but its four hooves were like stepping on snow, and it was very good.
On horseback sat a tall man, dressed in a dark brocade robe, with dark armor, a long sword at his waist, leather boots, and the arm that pulled the reins, and the faint outline of the muscles could be seen.
Ji Yu hurriedly glanced at it, and her eyes stopped at the belly of the horse, and she didn't dare to look up again.
But after a pause, the voice resounded.
"Get out as soon as possible."
The four words that came out of his mouth in a low and short voice, with some kind of wordless deterrence, came out of his mouth and were military orders.
Zhen Jili hurriedly knelt on one knee: "Yes! The villain will send the person away! ”
The man on the horse said no more, and turned his horse's head to enter the camp.
Ji Yu noticed that Zhen Jili on the side was obviously more nervous, her wheezing was rough and urgent, and she could even hear the sound of swallowing saliva.
Tilting his head slightly, I saw that he was sweating profusely, his eyebrows were tangled, and his eyes were moving rapidly, which is the reaction that people only have when faced with difficult decisions.
What is he going to do?
As soon as this thought came to him, he saw Zhen Jili suddenly stand up, gallop a few steps and spread his arms in front of the horse, and shouted loudly:
"The general stays, please listen to the villain!"
The horse was forced to stop.
Zhen Jili wiped the sweat on his head indiscriminately, and tried to stabilize his voice trembling with excitement: "General, general, villain has a way, but, can solve the trouble in the general's heart, can solve the urgent needs of Da and Da Zhou......"
Ji Yu hung her head and stood in place, already stunned at this moment.
She didn't expect Zhen Jili to be so bold, just based on her own words, she didn't try it anymore, and dared to give advice in front of the biggest boss in the barracks! I thought he would skip the level, but I didn't think he would cross the level so big!
Zhen Jili did plan to go back to study the research recipe first, and then find some soldiers to try it out when the finished product is made, and then report it after making sure that it is correct.
But at that moment, he didn't know what was wrong with him, and he was impulsive......
At this moment, a cold sweat broke out, and the two trembled, but they did not intend to retreat.
It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and talk to the general.
If he misses this opportunity, he will know a few lieutenant generals, and the other party may not be able to dedicate it for him, and even if he does, he may not take the credit, and his hard work will not be in vain?
There was a frightening silence, and Zhen Jili boldly raised his head slightly, facing the general's gaze.
He trembled, could no longer resist the pressure, silently stepped aside, and got out of the way.
I kept thinking in my heart: I'm really reckless when it's over, how can the general pay attention to a little person like me if the military doctor knows about it......
The general rode past and glanced at him and Ji Yu, who had not looked up from beginning to end.
"Settle down your sister and come to my tent to talk in detail."
It was only after all the men and horses behind him entered the barracks that Zhen Jili recovered from his astonishment.
"The general believes me? The general believes me?! The general believed me!! ”
He asked three times in a row, turned around and held Ji Yu's shoulders excitedly: "I'm going to succeed!" Sister, I'm going to make it! Do you hear me, sister, I can finally ......"
He was incoherent, a sister, and even cried as he spoke.
Ji Yu pushed him away and rubbed his aching shoulder: "Don't get too deep into the play, comrade, who is your sister." ”
Zhen Jili wiped away her tears, and didn't care what was too deep in the play, she thanked her indiscriminately and ran to the barracks, and disappeared as soon as she slipped away.
Ji Yu returned along the way she came, and waited on the hillside for a while before waiting for Uncle Xie.
Not surprisingly, he didn't find out anything.
"Two years ago, General Kou was still guarding Liaodong, and our side was led by the son of General Nie, and at that time it was the time of the fierce fight, and many people died, maybe ......"
Ji Yu didn't speak, in fact, she had this expectation in her heart.
"The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years", but in the final analysis, how many people can return?
She sighed a little in her heart, and felt that it was right to sell the hand cream to the barracks.
After all, if this battle continues, in addition to spending a lot of financial and material resources, I don't know how many casualties there will be.
Not to mention far away, what should I do if I have to be conscripted again?
The second son of Widow Xie's family has also reached the age range of conscription, how many tragedies like the sixth grandmother's family will occur at that time?
And if the Great Zhou is defeated, the Northern Liang will drive straight in, and the first to become slaves of the country is their Guanbei people.
Looking at it this way, she has done her best, although her original intention is only to make money.
When she went back, the carriage was empty, and Ji Yu sat cross-legged on the carriage board, watching the barracks gradually shrink at the end of the line of sight until it became a small black dot.
She suddenly remembered the general on the horse.
Although she hadn't seen her true face just now, the killing momentum that could only be tempered after years of galloping on the battlefield really made her break out in a cold sweat.
That should be Kou Changqing.
I heard that he put on armor and went into battle at the age of thirteen, and he had the courage to be a husband; Before the age of 20, he recovered the seven states of Liaodong that were occupied by the Dongyue State in the early days of the reign of the first emperor, and made immortal achievements; During the five years of guarding Liaodong, the enemy army was invincible and did not dare to attack again.
In contrast, the Kanbei side has lost one after another.
The imperial court first sent General Nie to guard it, but it was a pity that the hero was old, and he was bloody soon after. changed the son of General Nie, but unexpectedly, the tiger father and dog son could only talk on paper.
I heard that in the end, it was Zhang Ge Lao who overrode the public opinion in the DPRK and let Kou Changqing concurrently serve as the commander of Guanbei, hoping that he could turn the tide.
Zhang Ge won the bet.
In just a few months, the Zhou army won victory after victory, not only reversing the decline, but also beating the Northern Liang without the power to parry. If it weren't for the fact that the other party has recently changed a rather powerful coach, I'm afraid that the war would have ended long ago.
Beiliang is in ice and snow all the year round, and is accustomed to fighting in an extremely cold climate, so it deliberately delays until winter, hoping to complete its work in one battle.
At least half of the soldiers on the side of the Great Zhou were recruited from the south, and when their hands and feet were covered with frostbite, their combat effectiveness was weakened by more than half, and the situation was greatly unfavorable.
If this problem can be solved, maybe Da Zhou's side will not have to wait hard to wait until the spring of the next year.
Ji Yu was hoping that hand cream could really help.
I hope that this god of war in Liaodong can also become the protector of their Kanbei.
