The new emperor of Meng succeeded to the throne, the old general Liu, the pillar of the country, was disarmed and returned to the field, and Prime Minister Yao was sentenced to be beheaded. The two pillars of literature and martial arts have collapsed one after another. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the ambition of Murong Mingde, the monarch of the Liang State, to expand his territory is ready to move again.

In 623 Puqing, Meng and Liang tore up the peace treaty and fought at Shiyuan Mountain.

In a tea house a hundred miles outside Shiyuan Mountain.

"Phew, you said that this old thief of Liang State Murong is too despicable, as soon as he got the news that General Liu was disarmed and returned to the field, he immediately tore up the peace treaty and attacked Liaoyang Mansion on the border of my Bangladesh State." A big man with a beard rubbed his hands together and spat as he spoke.

"Not really! You said that the emperor is true, even if General Liu is old, but with him, other countries will at least be a little jealous. At this time, how can you agree to his disarmament and return to the field? The old general has been unarmed, doesn't he still have a son? A thin, square-faced, small-eyed peddler-like man said.

"It's a shame that you can figure it out, General Liu's family already has two sons who sacrificed their lives for the country, and there is only the fourth son left, and he didn't let him embark on the road of military generals at all."

"I heard that this General Xu sent this time has no experience in leading troops at all, this battle is hanging!" The peddler-like man shook his head and sighed.

"Shhhhh Don't you know if the wall has ears? Talking about state affairs here, how many lives do you have enough to die? If you want to die and go away, don't bother my little tea house. A middle-aged uncle with a white rag on his shoulder, holding a tea tray with two bowls of tea on it, looked around vigilantly and whispered to the two of them.

"I'm sorry, shopkeeper, I just can't control my mouth." The big man with a beard said to the boss in a curt.

"The battle in Shiyuan Mountain is tight, and it is not safe here. My business in the tea house has been done today. I'm going to leave soon. When you're done, let's go. ”

"Boss, in such a hurry? Did you get any reliable information? The hawker-like man asked curiously.

"Don't ask again, be careful of the misfortune coming out of your mouth!" The boss looked serious and kept silent.

The man who looked like a peddler also stopped asking.

In a large camp at the foot of Shiyuan Mountain.

"General Yuan, how many casualties were there in the last battle?" A young commander sat in the center of the camp, frowning and holding his forehead.

"Report to General Xu, in the last battle, our side sacrificed 800 people, seriously injured 2,000 people, and lightly injured 4,000 people, and the losses were quite heavy." General Yuan bowed and replied.

"How many troops does the other side have left?" General Xu's eyebrows seemed to be tied into a dead knot.

"About 50,000 more." General Yuan's face was also very ugly.

"What about us?" Hearing this number, General Xu's heart was half cold.

"In the early 20,000s." General Yuan replied with difficulty, and he was very reluctant to say this chilling number.

"What do you have to do?" General Xu was in a hurry to ask the doctor.

"This" General Yuan thought to himself, are you the boss or am I the boss? Don't you think much about this kind of major event related to the life of the country? Ask me? If I'm so good, will it be your turn to sit in that position?

"If General Liu encounters this situation, what do you think he will do?"

"I'm not very familiar with General Liu, I may not be able to answer you about this, not to mention that no matter how familiar he is, it's not him, how do you think he will do it?"

"You said that if we invited him out of the mountain, would the situation be different?"

"General Xu. At this time, you should analyze the war with peace of mind. General Liu, he is not very invited when the emperor comes. "I always want to rely on others for everything, but I don't face the reality and don't work hard. This battle is difficult, unless there is a miracle. Whether you will survive or not is still unknown, or should you plan for yourself earlier?

When General Yuan saw General Xu's performance, he couldn't help but worry about his life.

"Report! General Yuan, something is wrong! The little ones found that there was something wrong with the grain on the grain truck! A soldier hurried in, got down on one knee, and clasped his hands into fists.

"What's wrong with the food?" General Xu's mind was in turmoil.

"Please General Xu and Xiao Ji to take a look."

"Lead the way."

The three of them walked to the grain truck. It was found that a small hole had been poked in the sack on the grain truck in front of them. But only a small amount of rice leaked out of the holes, and more was dead grass, grass roots, and crushed sand.

"Bastard! In the end, the one who dared to transfer the military rations was daring! Hurry up and send someone to report to the emperor! "General Xu's heart is cold, could it be that this is the day to kill me?

The soldier had not even taken two steps before he was killed by General Yuan. He is agile and decisive in killing. All the soldiers present were slashed by his sword.

"Yuan Huilan, are you going to rebel?" General Xu wanted to stop it, but his actions were not as fast as others.

"This matter must not be leaked out, otherwise it will shake the morale of the army.

Kill them because only the mouth of the dead is the densest!

You can repair another letter to the emperor and send someone else to deliver it, but you must not let these people go! ”

When General Xu heard General Yuan's explanation, he thought about it and felt that it seemed to make sense. But his face couldn't pull it down, so he snorted coldly and walked away.

"Hmph, this nerd, it's hard to make a big deal." General Yuan looked at General Xu and didn't understand his performance, and was very dissatisfied with him in his heart.

General Yuan thought in his heart that now he was really about to reach the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted and the ammunition and food were exhausted.

Do you want to go or stay? If you leave, you will have to stay incognito for the rest of your life, and your family will be affected. If you stay, sooner or later you will die. It's hard to choose.

When General Xu returned to his room, he began to rummage through the cabinets, hoping to find some useful classics that could help his current predicament.

However, after searching for a long time, he found nothing.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion and noise outside the account, and he was about to open the curtain to see what was going on, but he saw a rain of fire shooting towards this side.

"Enemy attack!" I don't know who shouted.

General Xu couldn't dodge it, so he could only lie down on the spot. He watched as his soldiers were overwhelmed by the fire, but there was nothing he could do.

His tent soon burned because of the rain of fire. The fire burned his skin mercilessly, and the smell of burning came to his nose. He struggled and rolled until he had no strength.

In the blazing firelight, he seemed to see a cloud of black gas, floating in his direction.

I don't know if it's because I inhaled too much smoke, and I have hallucinations in front of my eyes.

The black smoke that flew towards him turned into a human form, and the outline of that human form became clearer and clearer.

Out of the smoke came a suave boy.

Maybe it's a ghost in the underworld. Pick yourself up.

The man asked in the firelight, "Do you want to be reborn?" ”
