Chapter 278: Fewer People Die

In the first battle of the Puqiu Kingdom, the Xuanzhen Royal and the Dugu family had their own losses, but in comparison, the losses on the Xuanzhen royal side were smaller than those on the Lonely family's side, and they were able to successfully occupy the border passes, which was indeed a great victory for Xingliuyun, as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, but in the long river of history, I always feel that this matter came too easily, which is also a problem that Xiao Cong has been thinking about, just now when Xingliuyun reported the casualties just counted to Xiao Cong, Xiao Cong was really taken aback when he heard it, this number is too far from what he expectedAlthough the hundreds of thousands of people who were brought into the country were all injured without exception, there were less than 20,000 dead, which is really a small drop compared to the tragic battle last night, and in Xiao Cong's prediction, there must be 50,000 or 60,000 people to be considered normal.

This is indeed a gratifying thing for him as a cultivator, no matter which side it is, it is always good to have fewer dead people, but things can't get carried away because of a little joy, prepare in advance and summarize afterwards, this is an indispensable and irreplaceable process, Xiao Cong sat at a jujube wood table in the temporary camp, holding a book in one hand, stroking his nose with the other, thinking quietly with his eyes blank, suddenly, he smiled,

"This Zhuge family is really interesting. ”

The army of the Xuanzhen royal family rested at the pass for three full days, leaving 10,000 people to guard the pass, and made a series of more rigorous military deployments before leaving, Xingliuyun is really ruthless enough, if it does not break Loulan, it will not be returned, with the mentality of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, it is even arranged on both sides of the pass, which even the Dugu family does not dare to make means, this guy is categorical when he gives the order, and he didn't even shake his mother's eyelids, Xiao Cong was standing aside at the time, looking at it in his eyes, admiring it in his heart, and thinking with a slight smile,

"The boss is still the boss!"

After this battle, the morale of the Xuanzhen royal army was high, and the vast soup continued to support the country.

After marching for several days, passing through several empty cities, although the Nebula had a clear order, no one was allowed to step into the empty city, and those who violated the order were killed. But Xiao Cong has been itching since he listened to the incoherent narration of Hongxiang following Xingliuyun and Yuwen to sneak into the Fuyan Kingdom and come back, the temporary ban issued by Xingliuyun is to bind the soldiers under him, and he Xiao Cong is not a soldier under Xingliuyun, so he doesn't have to take care of this set, besides, Xingliuyun's whole play is just to stabilize the army's heart- The most important thing for soldiers to fight is to be calm, and they must not have half of their emotions, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and the bloody battles of soldiers are only for the sake of obeying orders and have nothing to do with them, Xingliuyun does not want to stimulate the emotions of the soldiers with the so-called sympathy and sympathy for each other, perhaps this can really greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in this battle, and the proud soldiers will be defeated and the mourning soldiers will win, but what about the resentful soldiers? In the long run, this will certainly do more harm than good.

But then again, whether the royal army is an arrogant soldier, a mourning soldier or a resentful soldier really has nothing to do with him.

So in the path of the first empty city

That night, Xiao Cong avoided a series of bright and dark sentinels arranged by Xingliuyun, quietly mixed out of the military tent station, and spread his star-picking wings to fly towards the empty city.

Flying over the city wall, looking down through the quiet moonlight, but did not see the tragic scenes told by Hongxiang at that time, it seems that this place has been abandoned for a long time, and a few spots of white appear from time to time in the gray and black, Xiao Cong took a closer look and found that it was a pile of scattered white bones!

Xiao Cong fell down, along the strange and silent street, while walking and watching, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy in his heart, these straight goosebumps are not because of piles of white bones - he has seen more human bones! But if there is a pile of cooking fire next to this pair of white bones, then the feeling is very different, people eat people, and eat so cleanly, how can they eat it!

As he walked, Xiao Cong was stunned, his gaze fixed on a pile of bones that looked the same as other white bones, but there was a white bone block the size of half an adult fist on the edge of the pile of bones, which seemed to blink, it should be a baby's skull.

After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Cong exhaled a long breath, his clenched fists and clenched teeth slowly loosened, and he continued to walk forward, his eyes were sad.

In the space of two hours, he walked through every main street of the empty city, and also walked around every large courtyard, where there were many traces of fighting, and the traces were not very obvious, and it was easy to analyze what kind of method the fighters used in the fightβ€”the primitive, savage, and cruel way of fighting, biting, tangling, and pulling hard...... There is no skill to speak of. From this point of view, Hongxiang was right that day, at that time, this place had indeed become a human purgatory, refining not only human **, but also human nature!

Returned to the barracks, lying straight on the felt in the tent, unable to sleep for a long time, pictures derived from memories kept playing out in his mind, he found that he just couldn't control them, the more he controlled, the more intense, so strong that his heart was like a knife and the thought of strangulation was like a burn, "Ice Heart Jue" has been run for many weeks, and the various feelings in his heart, one after another, made him feel that he was almost about to fall apart!

What a long and torturous hour!

Since then, Xiao Cong has never been to the empty city where the royal army passed by, not because he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare, he is afraid that he will not be able to help it if he sees too much, he is afraid that if he can't help it, he will break the big thing, he is afraid that after the big thing is broken, the Xiao family will have no hope of reviving, and the Xiao family will have no hope of reviving, then he is a sinner! In the final analysis, in the end, he still fell on his own selfish desires, this fact made him feel more painful, even more self-ashamed, and he couldn't remember what he had heard from a sage before- In addition to the current Gou and the distant Gou in life, now that I think about it, it seems that it is really like that.

Since everyone lives in a reluctant way, then let him be reluctant to do so! Heh, what else can he say to himself? The grievances and grievances in this world are not something that he can control alone, so he himself thinks too much of it

Myself, haha, it's really funny!

A month later, Xiao Cong followed the army of Xingliuyun and marched into the interior of the country, and there was no inexplicable military advisor Mr. Qin in the team, Yuwenfeng was naturally suspicious, but this fire was not directly sprinkled on Xiao Cong, so our young and promising young marshal Xingliuyun suffered as a matter of course, I don't know if this girl was prepared or her brain turned fast enough, and she actually lied to Yu Wenfeng that Xiao Cong was the secret weapon he arranged, in order to avoid revealing the news, so he couldn't show it easily, and what made people even more speechless was that Yuwenfeng actually believed itHowever, in view of Xiao Cong's unexpected miraculous performance that night, Xingliuyun's blindness is reasonable, but then again, even if Xingliuyun directly admits that he is teaming up with Xiao Cong to deliberately deceive him, what can Yuwenfeng say when he encounters this kind of scoundrel?

And so the matter was over.

The soldiers are very fast, the army of the Xuanzhen royal family travels hundreds of miles a day, and finally approaches the military tent camp of the Dugu family stationed in the territory of the Fujiao country, and the ancient cities along the way have become dead cities.

Xingliuyun ordered the army to camp thirty miles outside the ancient city where the Dugu family military hub was located, and at the same time sent Xinma back to Puqiu, so that the Huangfu Mausoleum sent someone to send millions of stone grain, maybe in his opinion, in this situation first, the time and place are favorable, his side is all occupied, Dugu family will definitely not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle easily, so he deliberately picked hundreds of soldiers with loud voices, and gave them a good job of going out to fight every day, planning to use psychological tactics to defeat without attacking, although human life is at stake, he spent one more day with Dugu's family outside, and many more people died in the city, but after all, it is necessary to pay attention to tactics in the war, besides, it is human beings who help the people who are suffering in the country, The soldiers under his Xingliuyun are also people! They are all old and young people who take their lives to support their families, and no one deserves to die.

He thought it through, but what happened in reality was not like that.

On the seventh day, a group of soldiers on the side of the Xuanzhen royal family stood in front of the tall and closed city gate in three columns, holding Xingliuyun in their hands to prepare a catchy attack on the heart, and ripped open the broken gong throat.

Xiao Cong and Yu Wenfeng are both on both sides, Xiao Cong is dressed in a light blue suit, his hands are naturally drooping, and his face is slightly embarrassed. Yuwen Fengdu was dressed in silver Yanling light armor, standing with a sword, his face was joyless and sad, the reason why these two goods were standing was not because they didn't give them a seat, and the two chairs were placed quietly behind them, but these two goods may just not like to sit.

Xingliuyun glanced at each of the two beside him, frowned and complained:

"I said two, you two just stand like this, don't get tired, don't worry, it's all this step in the field, what waves can the Dugu family turn over, although you are careful to make the boat of ten thousand years, but everything has to have a degree, you two are so careful, it makes me nervous, come, listen."

Mine, sit down and have a cup of tea, if not, let's make a bet, within three days, the Dugu family will definitely abandon their weapons and surrender!"

Xiao Cong glanced at Xingliuyun with a smile, and said lightly:

"Since ancient times, there have been many defeats, I said boss, your state is not a good sign. ”

Xingliuyun also grinned a few times without smiling, and the yin and yang strange qi said:

"Fourth Young Master Xiao's eyes are like torches, I am an arrogant soldier, but you are not, so the odds are still on our side. ”

Xiao Cong turned his head and glanced at Xingliuyun when he heard this, and scolded with a smile:

"Virtue!"

Yuwen Fengdu looked into the distance from beginning to end, motionless, and after a while, finally floated out an inexplicable sentence,

"The people who died in front of them seem to be a little less ......"

Hearing this, Xingliuyun leaned forward, and the tea he had just drunk into his mouth was sprayed into a waterfall, he raised his hand and wiped his mouth, looked at Yuwen Fengdu strangely, and said angrily:

"Then how much do you want to die? I said Yuwen demeanor, you're crazy!"

Regarding Xingliuyun's emotional excitement, Yuwen Fengdu still looked as cold as ice that did not melt for ten thousand years, and ignored it.

Hearing this, Xiao Cong slowly stroked the bridge of his nose with his right hand, with a thoughtful look, Xingliuyun looked at Xiao Cong, who frowned slightly, and turned his face to Yu Wenfeng and said:

"In the end, send the Buddha to the west, only say half a sentence, you think you're cool like this, right, no matter how cool you are, can you have this young master cool!"

Xiao Cong glanced at Xingliuyun when he heard this, and then chewed his mouth a few times, Yuwenfeng continued to ignore Xingliuyun, and tilted his head slightly to the other side, vaguely seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, this Xingliuyun is really becoming more and more unpopular when he makes a mistake.

After a while, Xiao Cong put down his hand and asked softly:

"You...... Have you explored every empty city you pass through? ”

Yu Wenfeng didn't turn his head, just nodded his chin slightly, Xiao Cong saw it, and suddenly had a bad premonition, but where did this bad premonition come from, and he had no clue, maybe it was really like that, or it could be due to the psychology of not knowing it.

This Yu Wenfeng is only halfway to talk, and there is no follow-up like this, it seems to be really infuriating!

Xingliuyun and Xiao Cong looked at Yuwen Fengdu with his face facing the other side fixedly, his expression was very different, one of his eyes shrank slightly, his face was slightly embarrassed, and the other tilted his head and pouted, his expression looked like he had bad intentions, like a hooligan who was accumulating bad things in the alley.

Yuwen Fengdu said coldly as if he had eyes on the back of his head:

"You don't have to look at me like that, it's useless to talk about it now, because it won't be long before the answer will be known, so wait. ”

As he spoke, he sighed in a rare light.

Xingliuyun was open-minded, hearing this, he just pouted helplessly, slowly straightened up, leaned on the back of the chair and snorted softly, and then stopped talking, Xiao Cong put down his hand, turned his gaze back into the distance, couldn't help but sigh softly, and muttered:

"I'm afraid something big is going to happen......"
