"Zhou boy, you're going to go on an expedition tomorrow, don't you say goodbye to me?" Chen Yuanhou's voice sounded behind him, Zhou Zhe relieved himself from his thoughts, and looked at Lao Chen, who was dressed as a Confucian student. The surrounding sergeants have been dismissed.

"Dashuai!" Zhou Zhe clenched his fists.

"No formality. Chen Yuanhou shook the itch on his hand, "Have you always been so forward-looking and wavering? ”

"I!" Before Zhou Zhe finished speaking, Lao Chen continued.

"When you are your age, Yang Jue has already been able to capture the flag in front of the battle, and I have already walked the world. There is not so much time to hesitate, as long as you aim at the path that you think is right, and go on without hesitation, I know that you also think that this battle is dangerous, and you are afraid that your sergeants will lose their lives, and you are afraid that this is not necessary. ”

"What is necessary?"

"It's necessary to do it! If the Psychic Mountain doesn't go today, he will go sooner or later, it is impossible to watch the orcs in the Northern Plains grow stronger day by day, even if it is worth paying some sacrifices, not for anyone's wealth, but for all sentient beings. If you can't do both, then you can't do anything. Chen Yuanhou tickled and pointed to the farmers working outside Longquan Pass and said meaningfully.

"I know the truth, but I don't know. ”

"You know, you're unwilling, unwilling, unbearable. Chen Yuanhou stared at Zhou Zhe's eyes, as if he wanted to see through people's hearts.

"If a thousand people die and ten thousand people are saved, it is the righteousness of the ten thousand people to do this thing, and it is the benevolence of the thousand people not to do it. In fact, whether you do it or not, someone has to do it, and if you do it better and die less, it is great benevolence and righteousness. ”

"Yes! Zhou Zhe let out a long breath.

"Child, Xin Chai was scolded by the people of the world, and her family was also scolded by the people of the world, but did her heart hesitate?

"Taught, Sir!"

"Right now, you're on the cusp of making a choice. I was in the courtyard next door just now, and what I said to them was your kindness to your brother, and I have no objection to that. But as the commander of Longquan Pass, you should be beheaded. Because the soldiers of Longquan Pass all eat this bowl of rice, what will be the consequences if everyone is like this? I hope you will behave yourself in the future. Chen Yuanhou pointed at himself and then at Zhou Zhe

"Handsome?"

"You and I both live in this world, we all have our own ways, my way is to try my best to make the world live a better life, you should also have your own way, if you come back

Enlightened, come to me. Chen Yuanhou then patted Zhou Zhe on the shoulder and left the watchtower.

When Longquan closed the door, Zhou Zhe had been in the sentry tower, watching the sergeants return to Longquan Pass again, walk into the long corridor, and then to the small courtyards, and the imaginary deserters did not appear.

It's not because I don't dare, or I don't want to, it is estimated that there is really no other way out, so I can only fight a bloody way. War is like this, training the beast to be human, like a giant wolf, like a war horse, again

Forcing people into beasts, bloodthirsty and ruthless. Zhou Zhe seems to see a road, a bloody road, if there is only one way to kill, then come!

When the early morning sun shines on Longquan Pass again, the north gate of Longquan Pass is wide open, a team of light cavalry fish out, the retaliatory counterattack called spring training is officially launched, the earliest departure is the various departments of the light cavalry battalion, the head is like two sharp swords straight into the various tribe gathering places north of Longquan Pass, Zhou Zhe's 1,500 people followed, only waiting for the Beiyuan departments to gather to protect each other, straight into the direction of the glacier. Yang Jue and Gao Shancai will lead the heavy cavalry and auxiliary troops in the afternoon to start the operation, and will build a forward military village in the north of Longquan Pass, responsible for the transfer of grain and grass and the mobilization of the army.

Although Zhou Zhe's 1,500-strong team is small, it is full of organs, Ma Dabao is in charge of scouting, Lao Wei is in charge of logistics, and Wang Rui is nominally the highest commander, but from top to bottom, even Longquan Pass

The high-level knew that the command was actually in the hands of Zhou Zhe, and Wang Rui's trust in Zhou Zhe was overwhelming. What's even more commendable is that he never covets fame, he just wants his comrades to live and win. Yuan Fang

The brother is very familiar with the chatty Liu beard, and Xin Chai has disguised himself as a soldier on Zhou Zhe's side in order to facilitate the exit. The group looked at the map without hurry, and moved forward according to the scout's message

Walk slowly.

In three days, Zhou Zhe's thousand-man team did not fight a single battle, and everyone knew that their mission was the Spirit Medium Mountain north of the glacier, and they occasionally saw a half-orc gathering place that had been burned to the ground, as well as a corpse that had turned to ashes, and even some of the corpses were obviously short, which should be half-orc cubs. The crowd was just a little dull, and they didn't feel much guilt, at least the orcs didn't care if they killed their relatives, whether it was a man or a woman, or a young age. The deeper he went into the Northern Plains, the less ruins he encountered, and according to the information exchanged with the scouts of other troops, Zhou Zhe judged that the small tribes should be gathered, which was a positive measure to effectively prevent them from being broken by each one.

On the tenth day, after Ma Dabao replied that he had not met with the scouts of the other troops, Zhou Zhe was sure that they had moved away from the friendly front and had truly become a lone army deep behind enemy lines. Zhou Zhe was very careful, even at night, he sent a large number of scouts, nearly two hundred veterans were sent out to take turns on duty, he didn't want to spend his precious combat power in a war of attrition with the tribe's half-orcs before crossing the river, he was a blade, and he should appear in the most critical part of the enemy.

"Zhou Zhe, why are you hiding it from me!" Xin Chai finally stopped being silent after camping on the tenth day, and asked the doubts in his heart.

"When did I hide it from you? My room is full of maps and materials, can't you see that I have made so many preparations?" Zhou Zhe was inexplicable, he didn't expect Xin Chai to be a killer, and he was also a woman, just like if you bought a gift for her with private money, she wouldn't ask you what you bought at the first time, but would ask you how dare to hide private money.

"You won't tell me if I don't ask?"

"If you don't ask me, why should I tell you. Zhou Zhe vividly expressed the thinking of the straight man of steel at this time. Lin Xiaoer, who was watching from the edge of the camp, muttered

Both of them muttered riddles. ”

"Hmm~~~~" Wang Rui hummed for a long time, and was silent again as expected in everyone's expectant eyes.

"There are few people in our camp who can guess this, let me tell you, people like Brother Zhou are pointy and use their fingers. Liu Dabeard gestured to a few recruits, "You can calculate whether the half-orcs are male or female." Then he began to talk endlessly about the battle of the previous year, Wang Rui was generally silent, he knew that Liu Dabeard was strengthening the authority of the commander, and Wang Rui's wisdom was not to fight and not to be jealous.

"I also participated in the battle a year ago, but it was only the big formation that controlled Longquan Pass, and assisted Uncle Shi to repel Mengge's charging formation. I didn't expect you guys to be so lively there. Fang Fang originally knew from Qu Hui and Yang Jue's mouth that it was only approximate, and this time he even talked about the ambush in detail.

"Brother Zhou is really extraordinary, no wonder Uncle Shi is full of praise. Yuan Yuan was also amazed.

"Alas~~Alas~~ There's a fight over there. Lin Xiaoer pointed in the direction of Zhou Zhe, and everyone looked at where the fight was going on, Zhou Zhe had been pressed on his back by Xin Chai with his arm twisted and a big foot pressed on his back!

"You don't need to look at it, it's okay to look at it, Brother Zhou's bodyguard, the kind that doesn't leave his side when he sleeps!!" Liu Dabeard glanced back and continued to chat with the sergeants.

"Senior Brother Yuan, do you say that the senior brothers of our Tianshumen have peach blossom tribulations, you look at Yang Jue and Qu Hui, and then look at the little junior brothers who have not yet started. Fang Fang asked Yuan Yuan in a low voice.

"This! That little junior sister in our capital is not a peach blossom. Yuan Yuan was embarrassed.

"Well, it's a peach pit at most!"

Everyone didn't pay attention to the quarrel between Zhou Zhe and Xin Chai, anyway, the two have been getting along for a month, and there are not a few things to dispute, Zhou Zhe belongs to a donkey, that is, he has a strong temper, Xin Chai said that he can only do it, Zhou Zhe was pressed for a while, and then he was let go by Xin Chai,

"Zhou Zhe has never seen such a bastard as you, let me go and listen to the reality of the Spirit Medium Mountain before attacking, are you your dog when I am it?"

"Anyway, we're all here, why can't we work together! This northern plain is not the south, and there are not so many eyes and ears of the family. ”

"I'm not going, I'm going to go, you let Ma Dabao go!"

"Ma Dabao is in charge of perimeter guarding, don't you want our back road to be robbed!

"Okay, just once, then you lend me the rabbitskin gloves. ”

"Don't borrow it, it was given by someone else's girl, I'll give it to you again, Lao Wei didn't look for me when he saw it. ”

"Believe it or not, I want your life now!" Zhou Zhe was once again cut off his hands.

"You let go, stinky feet away, or I'll move my mouth." ”。。。。。。

One night, the two had a fierce competition over why Zhou Zhe didn't tell Xin Chai in advance that he was going to the Medium Mountain and a series of trivial matters, and finally the two re-examined the friendly relationship between the two and reached a consensus. The dinner was held in a friendly atmosphere, and the startled recruits were stunned.

After marching alone for five days, they have reached the south bank of the glacier, although the glacier is not a big river, but it is also nearly a mile wide, that is, 500 meters, fortunately, the temperature has not risen particularly high, and the glacier at this time can barely cross people. Zhou Zhe did not rush to cross the river, but asked Ma Dabao to divide the scouts into two halves, one part crossed the river to investigate, and the other part spread out behind him, at least be careful.

The team of 1,500 people is not much, plus the horses carrying heavy loads, it is also a lot, Zhou Zhe chose to cross the river in batches in a range of one mile long, and in a quarter of an hour, all the staff spent it safely, and then looked back at the ice surface, there were already a few cracks, if it was a few days late, it was estimated that something would happen. Ma Dabao's scouts had already traveled all over a radius of fifty miles in the morning, and did not find a single place of people, and it was not until near evening that a small gathering place was discovered, and Zhou Zhe did not hesitate to directly order a siege.

"Liu Dabeard, you go to ask, someone who is familiar with the nearby road comes out to answer and tell them that we are the Longquanguan sergeant who is lost in the south, and now we just want to find out the location. Zhou Zhe whispered to Liu Dabeard, and waited for the result with peace of mind. Liu Dabeard asked separately according to Zhou Zhe's instructions. After a while, Liu Dabeard rode back

"Brother Zhou, it turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to in this question, but the question is out, we are here now. There are at least ten days to go until the Medium Mountain. A few of them said differently, and they all gave me a knife. Liu Dabeard licked his tongue and reported the specific situation after the questioning.

"Wang Rui, do you say it's better to kill them or not?"

"Hmm!" Wang Rui was still groaning, and Zhou Zhe gave Liu Dabeard a look. Liu Dabeard did not hesitate, and with a wave of his hand, a killing unfolded.

"Zhou Zhe, you trick me again!" Wang Rui was speechless, he was not against this decision, but he was tricked by Zhou Zhe a lot, and the more routines he had, the easier it was to be tricked.

"No way! It's not that I'm a thirst for killing, the recruits want to see blood and be brave, and we can't keep tails!" Zhou Zhe sighed as he looked at the bloody scene.
