Chapter 24: The Rebellion of the Hearts of the People
As soon as the sky was bright, Kun Ba was back from the state of cultivation, he couldn't sleep all night and always thought about whether Li Jing would find the team by himself, and he had such an expectation in his heart, but there was no picture of his hope, gradually, the sun had already shown its head from the horizon, and the team had already packed up their things at this time, and it could be seen that everyone hadn't slept well last night, Yang Hao dragged his heavy sword weakly, and slowly carried it to his back.
"Alright! Cheer up! We're going to catch up with the last trip today!"
Everyone followed in the footsteps of Kun Ba and began to move forward, leaving a deep and shallow footprint on the ground, and when he didn't do much, Kun Ba ordered to speed up, because he was always worried that those people before him would appear again, so speeding up was the best thing to do.
In the White Blade Army
"General Mu Hao!
A familiar voice came from outside, it was still Xue Biqi and them, they had stayed in the Bai Feng military camp for the past few days, and had not entered the fortress. Today I still came to the central camp tent as usual, although it was said that it was a little calmer, but these days were very difficult for these generals, because there was no order from the marshal, according to normal times, they should be patrolling nearby, but now it is different from the past, if you act alone with the army, it is easy to be surrounded and suppressed by the enemy who does not know what is coming out there. So for a few days, I pressed it down and quietly did a good job of defense.
On the other hand, it is precisely because of this gap that the generals gathered in the past to discuss the recent events and countermeasures.
"Therefore, if we can try to get in touch with the Western Army and the Eastern Army at this time, we can not say that we can change the current situation, but at the very least, we don't have to be so passive, after all, the general is outside, if the marshal has no way to restore command, then we must take some way to deal with it. "It was Lianghe who spoke, he had sorted out what had happened in the past few days, and had deduced the movements and purposes of the enemy's army, and the western army and the eastern army he said in his mouth referred to the west and east of the northern front, after all, from the map, they were located in the middle of the northern line, if they got in touch with the east and west, and determined the next line of defense, at least it was a reassuring approach.
"However, now that our intelligence transmission has obviously been disrupted, should we continue to send out the adjutant general to lead the team to pass on the order?" Xue Biqi asked his own question.
"This method, we can't do it too many times......" Luo Gu was also a little drumming in his heart, after all, the adjutant general led the team to pass the order, this kind of practice, it can't be said that there is none, but it is really ....... to be as decisive as Bai Fengjun
"No, we can't send a lieutenant general, let alone a lieutenant general, we can't even move around the captain level of the squad in the past now. What he didn't expect was that Mu Hao directly refuted this approach.
"Well, but if we don't do anything now, we're no different from being alone. Although it seems to be a combination of several armies..."Lianghe was also very distressed, and the military advisors in the other armies also nodded one after another, in response to his statement, the generals of the army were also discussing with their own military advisors, but at this time, Wu Mingkun thought that he didn't hear their words, staring at the marching map hanging there.
"Master, your opinion?"
Mu Hao asked in a low voice, but Wu Mingkun still didn't react.
Seeing Wu Mingkun's distraction, Mu Hao also looked at the marching map, but he couldn't see anything. Then he asked in a low voice.
Wu Mingkun's face was expressionless, but one hand kept pulling the armrest of the chair. Seeing his strange appearance, the other generals also looked over, not knowing what Wu Mingkun was thinking.
Suddenly realizing the silence in the tent, Wu Mingkun came back to his senses and looked at the generals who were looking at him around him, and his face was not very good.
"What we should ..... think about now is how ....... retreat. ”
Hearing this, the generals were not only dumbfounded.
"Master Wu! Behind us is the fortress! If this place is breached, the east and west directions will also follow together passively! At that time, there will be no fortresses on the front line, and soon, the fortresses on the rear front line will become the front line, and the area on our northern front will be even less!"
It can be said that the formation of such a large territory today is the result of generations of spirit masters, and now they don't want to defend it, but they have to give up, how can they accept Mu Hao?
"Nonsense, I don't know yet? Back then, Lao Tzu and the brothers didn't know how many times they fought with Lingling. ”
"Then how can you give up this fortress now?"
Forts are very important in stabilizing a piece of land, and once they are taken by the Spirits, the Spirits will also use these fortresses as a point of attack. And in the long-term battle between the spirit master and the spirit, in fact, there are already many fortresses that have been taken away by the spirit. As early as hundreds of years ago, there was a powerful marshal in the northern front, who led the spirit army at that time to conquer many territories and establish many fortresses. But gradually, because the marshal behind did not succeed in keeping it, many of the fortresses in the spirit spirit spirit at that time were actually owned by the spirit masters at that time, just like the fortress that Mu Hao and they wanted to lay the foundation to build before, there was a 'Heyuan Fortress' more than 800 miles in front of it
It was a fortress that was captured by the spirit more than 100 years ago, and it has not been recaptured.
"Let me ask you a question, if we stay here, how much impact do you think we can withstand? Simply put, how many spirits do you think we can withstand?"
"Hmph! If we fight again, I am willing to lead our army to kill the spirit again with the courage of Mu Yang!
On the other side, there was a general who was obviously dissatisfied with Wu Mingkun's approach.
"And then?"
Wu Mingkun continued to ask
"You're dead, who are we going to die next?"
"How many more times can we die?"
"Besides, marching and fighting, have you calculated how much grain and grass we have consumed so far?"
"When we are exhausted, do you think we can still have a relationship with the spirit?"
A series of questions, the generals present were speechless.
"The current situation is very unfavorable for us, so if we rashly cut off our troops here, then I might as well give this fortress to the spirit, do you think the spirit master is so easy to cultivate?"
I have to say that although I don't like this approach, no one refutes Wu Mingkun's words, because as a person who has come over, it is obvious that his perspective is more thorough than the generals present, and now is no longer the time to be rash, choosing the right path is the key, however, this choice is very important, so everyone did not express their position, and in the end, everyone returned to their respective camps in frustration.
When Wu Mingkun was about to leave, Mu Hao grabbed him, and after everyone left, he walked out of the camp tent, whispered a few words to the guards at the door, and returned to the camp tent.
"Master Wu, it's a pity to let go of the fortress like this....." Mu Hao said while pouring tea. But outside of his body, there was an undercurrent of spiritual power, waiting to explode at any time.
"Of course I know, but I'm still the same sentence, if the spirit attacks again, how can we resist?"
"But you, who have always been fearless of war, how can you be like this? and ......."
"And what?"
"I've always wondered why the Imperial Army was able to come to the front line less than three months after it was formed, and you personally led the team..... The air was inadvertently filled with a chill, and Mu Hao had a conjecture in his heart at this time, but Wu Mingkun was still there.
"Hahaha!"
Wu Mingkun suddenly laughed, and then walked towards Mu Hao, which couldn't help but make his nerves tense. Wu Mingkun suddenly flashed to Mu Hao's side, and thundered ........ patted Mu Hao's shoulder. At that moment, Mu Hao's cold sweat came out, because he completely understood how big his gap was.
"I know what you're thinking, I have to say, you became a general at your age, it's really different, you don't let go of any possibility, and you dare to ask me when you're alone, but, I think you should think, even if you die, if your guess is right, then I'm an internal ghost, if I kill you, now I'm in the barracks, if the other generals encircle and suppress, I must not be able to leave, let the other generals go back first, and you can also avoid cleaning me up at one time, don't you think so?”
"Master Wu....you ....."
"Hahahaha~ The future is terrifying! You, you are really a good material!"
Then there was silence for a while, staring at Mu Hao for a long time before he said a word.
"Go and put the curtain down and be quiet. ”
Looking at his suddenly changed expression, Mu Hao was also confused by the second monk, but he still did it, his inner thoughts had been exposed, even if Wu Mingkun was really an inner ghost, if he wanted to kill himself now, he couldn't hide, thinking of this, Mu Hao was calm.
When Mu Hao put down the curtain and turned to look at Wu Mingkun, he saw a flash of inspiration in Wu Mingkun's hand, and an enchantment enveloped the two of them.
"Come here, see for yourself. ”
As he spoke, Wu Mingkun took out an envelope from his shirt, and the envelope was golden and shining.
Mu Hao took it and saw the word 'secret order' written on the envelope. Mu Hao reacted, this was a secret order given by the marshal. At this time, the envelope has been unsealed, and it can be seen that the envelope has been sealed before, and only those who know the solution can unseal the letter.
Mu Hao took out a letter from the envelope, opened it, and saw the secret order, but it was better to say that it was a letter than a secret order. It reads:
Brother Mingkun:
In the territory of my northern front, the front-line generals are all brave and good at fighting, but the open guns are easy to dodge, and the hidden arrows are difficult to defend, you and I are people who have been looking for things, I feel that there is a treachery in this matter, this time is a big matter, I have felt fearful, there can be no one in the front line to lead the formation, if it is in the truth, you bring your own people who should be protected, remember, do not act in a disorder, if necessary, abandon the ground to protect my elite army is always there.
Self-cherished
huge
In just a few words, it can be seen that it was written at a time when the situation was unknown, and it should have started on the northern front
Before the chaos, the marshal wrote down this secret order and acted in secret, and after knowing this matter, Mu Hao also came back to his senses, and it turned out that his Bai Feng army had already been prepared for difficulties. And Wu Mingkun's rescue was also arranged a long time ago. But he didn't know why the marshal was so sure that something would happen here.
"Do you think the marshal is really like a god? In fact, there are such secret orders, and the commanders of the east and west sides are assigned respectively. The marshal also didn't know when and what army would have problems, so he arranged it early. ”
"Master, what does it mean to find something in this?"
"Alas, that was decades ago. ”
Wu Mingkun said in a deep voice, listening to his narration, a period of old time unfolded in front of Mu Hao's eyes.
It was a few decades ago, there was a strange talent in the spiritual monastery, who fused spiritual power and spiritual energy, and researched his own faction, but how did the spiritual masters accept it? The most important thing is that in the end, the strange man's body was able to turn against his master, so that the person lost his heart, and in a fighting skill conference, he was also hunted down by the spiritual institute, and at this time, several mysterious organizations appeared out of nowhere, and targeted obstruction of the pursuit and killing of the spiritual monastery, the most famous of which is ' The Black Eagle Society's so the Spiritual Retreat is tantamount to fighting against several forces at the same time. And the most special thing is that the leaders of these organizations are very mysterious, and no one knows their information, so Wu Mingkun and Marshal Pang, who were just 'Guan Jiangwei' at that time, were ordered to investigate the matter, and it was with the investigation that both of them saw a lot of dark sides that ordinary people could not see. Many people do whatever it takes for their own selfish desires. Even in the end, they found that some of their senior brothers had betrayed themselves, just to satisfy their male and female desires, so Wu Mingkun did not hesitate at all when he started.
By the time Wu Mingkun finished speaking, it was already evening, and after listening to everything he said, Mu Hao fell into deep thought, he had actually thought about this, but when he heard what the witnesses had said, it still gave him a great impact. In the past, in his cognition, he always felt that he would choose to be the enemy of others if he had a special purpose, but after listening to what Wu Mingkun said, he knew that sometimes some people don't even need a reason.
I'm still too tender......
"Then, why didn't the master just take out the secret order?"
"Stupid? The secret order is taken out casually, how do you know that the inner ghost is not in us? Let them know that we are actually prepared, let them dismantle the trick?"
“..........”
Sure enough, it's still too tender.
"What should we do now? Do you really want to retreat?"
"Probably so, but I'd like to wait for them to come back. ”
The sunset was shining gently, and the sky was all golden, and Mu Hao couldn't help but be worried at this time.
I hope they arrive safely, and Yang Hao must not be fine.
"Alas, people's hearts are separated from their bellies....." Wu Mingkun put away the secret order and told Mu Hao that he must not reveal it, and when he left the tent, the aroma of the food came to his face, tempting people's appetite.
The sunset on the horizon was also dizzy as if drunk
