Chapter 398: The Great War is Imminent
Yu Sufu was dressed in military uniform, wearing battle armor and holding a heavy sword, standing outside the barracks of the Houjin Right Wing Army. The wind was cold, but his eyes were even colder.
He looked at the soldiers under his command, raised his eyes and looked at the sky in the distance, only to see that the black clouds on the horizon were overcast, and it was gloomy. It seems that today is not a good weather, Yu Sufu thought to himself.
Sure enough, the big war is coming, and even God knows that he closes his eyes and doesn't want to look at this world where blood is about to appear.
In fact, he felt that he was not a good king, because he had never had any special ambitions like other kings.
He was full of expectations, just to make his people's lives more stable. If it weren't for Xie Wanqing this time, according to his temper, he would never have come to this troubled water between Houjin and Da Chu.
As long as there is a war, it is the people who will suffer in the end. All the so-called upper classes have to pay is just lip service.
But those who shed blood and sweat on the battlefield and charged into battle are all children of poor families, Yu Sufu has been walking for many years, and has seen a lot of hardships, so he naturally knows that they are not easy.
But this is the way of the world, and you can't avoid it.
In the days when he became the commander of the right-wing army, the soldiers under him loved him very much, and no one looked down on him because of his humble background.
This made Yu Sufu very moved, he thought that he was just an ordinary soldier at the beginning, and even if he became a commander, he would be excluded everywhere, but this was not the case.
Looking at his group of subordinates now, an inexplicable sadness and guilt suddenly surged in his heart.
Today, they are certain to be defeated, and one of the main culprits is himself. But they knew nothing about it, and looked at him with a smile as usual.
I don't know if I can bring them back safely after taking them out this time? He gritted his teeth and secretly made up his mind that no matter what today, he must minimize the casualties of the group of men and horses under his command.
"General, when are we leaving?" Those Houjin soldiers still didn't see the current situation clearly, they just felt very enthusiastically that Houjin would definitely win this battle, so they both asked hurriedly.
"Wait." Yu Sufu cleaned up his emotions, collected the look in his eyes, and changed to a dignified and calm appearance on weekdays. "We will obey the king's command."
He looked at the soldiers, some of whom were still children with childish faces, and they were being dragged to this cruel battlefield.
He said in a deep voice, "No matter what happens today, you must obey my commands. It is my duty to take you out and I will do my best to bring you back. But remember, don't take matters personally. ”
"Yes!" The soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound was deafening.
Yu Sufu nodded in satisfaction and stopped talking.
Suddenly, a soldier came running from a distance, with a look of urgency on his face.
When he ran closer, he dodged and knelt on the ground, stopped in front of Yu Sufu, and then clasped his fists and said to him: "Your Excellency, the king has told you to go to the king's tent and say that there is something important to discuss with you."
"Okay, I'll do it now." After Yu Sufu finished speaking, he glanced at his soldiers again, and then he followed the little soldier and walked in the direction of the king's tent.
It seems that the order to fight is about to be issued, so the King of Houjin hereby summons him back to the king's tent, Yu Sufu thought to himself, and then he took a deep breath quietly, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.
Entering the king's tent, Yu Sufu found that almost all the junior generals had arrived here at this moment.
The King of Houjin was wearing golden armor, standing in front of a huge topographical map, gesturing something.
Seeing him come in, King Houjin said, "Okay, the people have arrived, let's finally determine today's battle plan." In this battle, we will win Houjin!"
Those generals were also excited, and they all echoed: "Houjin will win!" All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the king's tent was extremely hot.
Yu Sufu has always been a cold person who is quiet and quiet, and he doesn't like to talk much on weekdays, so he showed a very indifferent look at this time, but no one cared.
King Houjin nodded with satisfaction, and then began to assign tasks to everyone. These things have been discussed since many days ago, and everyone has already known them by heart, and has been explained many times, and now it is only a final confirmation.
"Do you remember it clearly?" King Houjin asked in a deep voice, and everyone replied in unison: "I have remembered it clearly, please rest assured, king."
"Okay." King Houjin flicked his cloak and pressed his hand on the sword at his waist. said: "Then today, let's go and kill those Great Chu people without leaving a piece of armor!"
Yu Sufu looked coldly at all this that happened in the king's tent, and after listening to the words of King Houjin, he felt a sadness in his heart again.
They are still kept in the dark, especially the Houjin King, who is even more pitiful. He didn't know that he had relied on trust and entrusted him with important tasks for many days was actually a spy.
Even the little five girls he likes, her real identity is the wife of the chief general of Da Chu.
If these truths were all revealed in front of the Houjin King in the end, what a bloody and painful picture it would be. Yu Sufu thought so, and couldn't help but fight a cold war.
Fortunately, the person who was kept in the dark was not himself.
The thing he hated most in his life was betrayal, but now he has become such a person.
But when he thought about it, he couldn't say that. I was not deceived by others, but I pushed myself in with my own hands, and I couldn't pull it out again.
obviously knew that Xie Wanqing couldn't belong to herself, but she wanted to plunge into this quagmire, who could blame her? He smiled self-deprecatingly, a hint of bitterness on his face.
When he returned to the barracks of the Right Wing Army, the capable guards beside him brought horses for him. It was a war horse covered in pitch black, with only a little white on its forehead. The horse was tall and strong, and it was clear at first glance that it must be a good horse.
"Brothers, let's go, please follow me on the expedition!" He raised his sword aloft and shouted at the men below.
At this time, not only their right flank army, but also the forward army and the left flank army, they were also ready to set off at this time.
For a time, the entire Houjin military camp poured out, mighty. Hundreds of thousands of people rushed towards the border of Da Chu and Houjin in an orderly manner, and from a distance, it seemed that the formation was like a dark cloud pressing down, which made people shudder when they saw it.
At this time, the same is true for Da Chu's side.
The number of troops stationed at the border in Dachu is actually not as large as the number of troops in Houjin. In addition, the original Great Chu people were not as good at fighting as the Houjin people.
In this way, in fact, if the two sides were to go to war, the advantage would obviously be on the side of Houjin.
This is also the reason why Xie Wanqing, despite Yu Sufu's persuasion, had to stay in the Houjin military camp to be a spy. She had already understood the form of this battlefield, and she knew that if she had to fight hard, the Great Chu army would have absolutely no chance of winning.
What a smart woman. A shallow smile curled into the corner of Yu Sufu's mouth.
The border post of Da Chu saw from a distance that Hou Jin's army was attacking this side. They soon raised wolf smoke, beat gongs and drums loudly, and soon carried the news to the main tent.
"It's finally here." Han Hao said coldly, and then a very imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Since you are here, then I will accompany you to have a good time, otherwise I will really be sorry for our planning for so many days." ”
The generals of Great Chu are also gathering in the main tent at this moment. After the baptism a few days ago, those people who Houjin had placed in the Great Chu military camp had all been pulled out by Han Hao.
The people sitting in the tent at the moment are all his trusted henchmen.
