[338] Appointment
When the ghost mother heard this, she lowered her head slightly and pondered.
All the ghosts present except for Changqin, all of them have led soldiers to fight, and after a little thought, they also feel that Changqin's proposal is feasible, after all, Xuanshui is an old ghost with rich combat experience, not to mention, he is also one of the senior disciples who came out of Xiao Shizhu's hand, so they all nodded slightly and seconded the proposal, and also silently waited for the ghost mother to decide.
At the same time, I also have some admiration for Changqin.
In the lampstand on the table, the wick surrounded by the firelight of the bean made a "crackling" sound.
"Are you saying that after letting Xuanshui lead the army away, attack and defend the area near the Devil's Cry Beach?" After a moment, she looked up at Changqin.
"Yes. Changqin nodded his head and said with certainty: "After all, the lord is a bold and cautious ghost, and if he dares to hand over the position of commander to Wu Xiaoshen and Bai Qi for the time being, then it means that he must have a move." ”。
Although he didn't know where Xiao Shizhu went because of this, he also firmly believed that Xiao Shizhu dared to take such a risk, and he must have thought of a countermeasure.
"As for General Xuanshui's support, it doesn't have to be to go to Ghost Cry Pass to defend it. After a pause, Changqin analyzed again: "After the enemy's army approached the pass, the nearby towns of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom must be empty, and General Xuanshui is good at attacking quickly, burning a grain road, and it is also okay to hit a nearby town to surprise Song Dingbo." ”。
The ghost mother fell into deep thought, Changqin's method is good, after all, Song Dingbo has a cautious temperament, once there is a fire in the rear, he can't ignore it, how can he divide his troops to solve the hidden dangers in the rear. In this way, it is equivalent to reducing the pressure of Ghost Cry.
But it can't be done once and for all, if you want to completely solve the trouble of Song Dingbo, you can only pin your hopes on Xiao Shizhu, who is far away in Yunmengzhou.
Since Xiao Shizhu advanced to Yunmeng Mountain for ten days, he hasn't been in contact again, and now even the ghost mother doesn't know what the situation is on his side?
But when she thought of Xiao Shizhu, the apprehension and nervousness in the ghost mother's heart suddenly decreased a little, and her husband knew that although he liked to take risks often, he was by no means a ghost who would be brave. As for not contacting her, it should just be that she is too busy to discuss the matter of borrowing troops, and it may not be that something has gone wrong.
What's more, Xiao Shizhu's ghost spirit, even if there is anything wrong, with his shrewdness and cheekiness, he will definitely be able to save the day.
After thinking of this, she didn't think much about it, and after nodding hurriedly, she turned her head and explained to Chunyun: "Let the fungus people pass on my message, and let Xuanshui and the soldiers of Jiuzhi Mountain, who are about to go south tomorrow, quietly enter the area of Ghost Crying Beach under his command, carry out a large-scale attack on the rear of Song Dingbo's army, and implement encirclement and reinforcement." ”。
"No. Chunyun responded.
At the same time, Chenruo's voice came from the door again: "Mother of the country, the fungus on duty at night asks to see." ”。
"Please. A hint of anxiety flashed across the ghost mother's face, and she raised her eyes to the direction of the gate.
Then the ghosts saw a young fungus man, rushed in, jumped on the sand table table, and after saluting the ghost mother, they didn't care about the many ghosts present, and said urgently: "Returning to the mother, the lord of Fang Cai sent a message that he has become the leader of Sanmiao, and the specific details will not be repeated; ”。
As soon as these words came out, the ghosts immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they also silently admired Xiao Shizhu in their hearts, but deep down in their hearts, they were more curious about how he ended up in Yunmengzhou these days, and how did he become the leader of the three seedlings.
However, all the ghosts present knew the identity of his son of the gods, and after thinking for a while, he guessed whether Xiao Shizhu had revealed his identity.
How could he know that Xiao Shizhu was over there, and before he could fully reveal his identity and explain his intentions, he met Emperor Xudu, the sworn enemy of Yuanying?
The ghost mother also took a long breath, and her face was still full of solemnity, and her eyebrows instantly became a little more happy.
"In addition, my lord also said that he also knows the current situation of Shuoyue Island, but let you not worry about it, he has his own way to relieve the siege of Shuoyue Island within a month. The fungus man looked around at the ghosts and paused, looked at the ghost mother's face, raised his hand and beckoned, and said with a smile: "Please come over with your ears to the mother of the country, and the lord will let me send you a special whisper." ”。
Seeing his mysterious smile, the ghost mother was a little confused, and the fool could see that what she was going to say was not like something related to confidentiality, but she still walked slowly to the side of the fungus man and bent over.
"The lord said that everything is fine with the little master, so you and Mrs. Lai can rest assured. The fungus man coughed twice, raised his hand and scratched his hairless head, and after showing a little embarrassment, he whispered in her ear: "Also, he misses you, and reports to you, although the three Miao female ghosts are graceful and delicate, but he really didn't mess with flowers and grass outside this time, and his mind was full of you." ”。
This is Xiao Shizhu's original words, and the fungus man conveyed it to the ghost mother word for word.
"Damn Xiao Shizhu, when did he still say this. After hearing this, the ghost mother's eyes widened suddenly, she straightened up after being stunned, and scolded angrily between her feet, and at the same time, her cheeks were slightly red, and a little happiness slowly appeared in her eyes.
Although the ministers present didn't hear what the fungus people said, most of them had been messing with Xiao Shizhu for a long time, and although the ghost mother looked slightly angry, her eyes continued to glow with happiness and pleasure, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and after guessing what Xiao Shizhu said in her heart, Chunyun coughed with a smile.
After Changqin and Lu Wu looked at each other and smiled, they hurriedly put on a face and pretended to be deep, feeling so tired.
Only the two brothers, black and white, looked at each other but saw each other's suspicions lingering on their faces.
"Okay, got it. The ghost mother nodded her head and said to the fungus man: "Pass the order Xuanshui, let him prepare for battle............
The Howling Plains, where many canals have been built outside the towns, are still desolate. Except for the towns and the scattered oases, the only places that can be found everywhere are the laterite hills and the red rocks that stand on them.
At this time, he was immersed in darkness, and let the wind that had become cold at night sweep up the sand and dust violently.
The city of Langyu on the southern border of the plain did not fall silent after nightfall, because it was a border city, and because of the current war in the vicinity, the city was full of patrolling Yin soldiers and ghosts, carrying lanterns made of white paper, patrolling back and forth in groups on the streets.
Many merchants in the city saw the business opportunities from this, so they all started a supper business on the street, which made Langji City even more lively.
In the middle of the city, under the yellow and green tree with a pitch-black and shiny trunk, there was a simple shed, with straw as the roof, and the walls were empty, and on the banner hanging at the door, a large "face" character was embroidered, and it was swaying in the wind.
In the shed, four sets of square tables and sixteen benches were neatly arranged, and in the deepest part of the ground, near the Lang Yu tree, three tables were placed in a triangular shape.
One had been made into a stove, and on top of it was a large cauldron in which hot broth was boiling, and the smell of the boiling meat permeated every corner of the shed. One with a clean panel and rolling pin, as well as kneaded dough. On top of the other, there are dishes and some condiments, as well as cooked and sliced beef.
A white-bearded and silver-haired, wrinkled but clean-handed three-body ghost stood in the middle of the three tables, one of whom was facing the soup pot and holding a spoon to boil the soup. The other body is facing the table on the panel, and his hands are rolling out the dough.
Finally, this person is carrying a kitchen knife and is cutting beef.
The three bodies worked together to cook a bowl of hot noodle soup that would have taken a few moments of effort, and it only took a few dozen breaths to cook.
Xiao Er, who was outside the table, shuttled between the table and the table with a towel on his shoulder, serving a hot noodle soup that had just come out of the pot for the guests, and he was very busy.
After midnight, a few guests who were still sitting in the shed before were full of food and drink, so they got up with a full burp, said hello to the three-body ghost standing in the middle of the stage, put down the money and left.
As soon as the guests left, the shed immediately fell silent, and the three-body ghost took a long breath, looked at the quiet street outside the shed, listened to the whirring wind and waves, and was thinking that they could take a break, when a cross-sword general wearing armor strode in.
"Lao Yao, you give me a whole bowl of hot noodle soup, put more beef and green onions, and don't want coriander. This pair of arms like iron rods and two eyes like copper bells, as soon as he entered the shed, he shouted at the three ghosts: "Bring me another pot of Qingtian wine." ”。
So saying, he walked to the square table closest to the table and sat down.
The three-body ghost named Lao Yao looked at it fixedly, and immediately recognized that the ghost was General Xuanshui, who often came to his place, and hurriedly said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Xuanshui; ”。
"You don't know that the lord himself gave the order. Suddenly, his other body had already begun to roll out, and he waved his hands again and again against Xuanshui's body, and continued to say: "Anyone who sells wine to officials and sergeants who are in official affairs and sergeants who are in military affairs will not only be punished by the officials and sergeants, but even we will not be able to get rid of it; ”。
"Put a hundred hearts on me, I'll be on vacation for three days from now on. Xuanshui shouted, took off the helmet on his head, and after putting it on the table, he took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder and held it in his hand.
The rolled noodles had already been put into the pot, and Lao Yao looked at the armor on his body neatly and neatly put on his body, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
The discipline of the Jiuyou National Army is strict, and the soldiers do not take off their armor while they are in military affairs, and the sergeants on leave are not allowed to wear armor and go out of the camp. Therefore, Lao Yao saw that Xuanshui had complete armor on his body, and he was worried that the other party would deceive him.
"Really, I kid you not. Xuanshui smiled, looked as far as the disbelieving old Yao could see, but after seeing the heart guard on his chest, he immediately knew what Lao Yao was worried about, so he smiled again: "Didn't I just finish my errand and haven't had time to change it?"
As soon as these words came out, Lao Yao thought about it under his urging, and then took out a small bottle of wine from under the table and handed it to the shopkeeper who was still stunned: "Send it to the general." ”。
"Warm it up for me. Without waiting for the little two to respond, Xuanshui stared at the small wine jug and shouted. After speaking, the Adam's apple moved and swallowed violently.
At the same time, a group of sergeants dressed in mountain pattern chain mail strode towards the small noodle shop, and as soon as they entered the shed, they went straight to Xuanshui.
"What's the matter?" Xuan Shui also hurriedly turned his head and looked at the team of sergeants and asked. Judging by their costumes, they are guards who guard the thrush too much. And the way they came was the direction of the city defense battalion.
Presumably he went there first, and after learning that Xuanshui was out of the camp on leave, and after inquiring about where he would go, he came over.
"General, I have an order to cancel your vacation and go to Shouhua City immediately. The military attache at the head bowed to Xuanshui and said loudly: "The flying mount is ready for the general, please leave immediately." ”。
