Chapter 457: Reprimand
Then he went back to the house.
The cup that was placed on the ground disappeared with a swish, as if it had been dragged into the ground by something.
The corners of the yard are back to normal.
¥¥¥¥¥
He Lingchuan blinked, looked at the hole in the roof, and it took a long time to realize that he was in the soul country.
The starry sky of reality and dream soul land is equally bright.
He sat up and stretched.
The Broken Knife Squad, like the rest of the Panlong Army, had already left the capital of the Xiqi Kingdom and arrived at the easternmost city of the former Xiqi Kingdom, only one step away from the border.
With a permanent population of more than 90,000, it is the fourth largest city in Xiqi, and can barely support the garrison needs of the Panlong Army. Of course, Xiqi has perished. According to Zhong Shengguang's request, General Hong renamed this place Yuheng City.
"Yuheng Star is the brightest of the Big Dipper, and every night, it illuminates the way home for the soldiers of Panlong City."
The army was here for two days and was ready to advance eastward.
As soon as he stretched his waist, a wicker called outside: "Hey, come out and eat dumplings, you slackers!"
He Lingchuan turned over and jumped up and walked out, and the door panel that was originally leaning against the corner and snoring ran faster than him.
A large pot was set up in the open space outside, and the white and chubby dumplings tumbled up and down in the boiling water, and a few of them burst, coating the soup with a layer of bright oil.
Looking at this pot, you can know that the wicker's cooking ability is probably the same as He Lingchuan's. The door panel sat down and scooped up a few dumplings to eat, and while being burned, he praised the wicker for a good job.
Her daughter-in-law has to boast about herself.
No matter how thick the wicker's skin is, it is also a little red: "I have several broken bags, and these good ones are all wrapped by Daddy Liu."
The gut-piercing belly is all covered by her.
Daddy Liu is on the side, in his fifties, dark and thin, with a somewhat rickety figure and a headscarf tied around his head, which is very in line with He Lingchuan's impression of working people being industrious and simple.
He brought two more drawers of raw dumplings over, put them on the side of the pot, and smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Eat more, there are!"
"Daddy Liu is hard."
As soon as He Lingchuan sat down, Daddy Liu scooped up a bowl of dumplings for him, but the one who fished for the wicker was so full that it was about to overflow.
The Broken Knife squad sat down and feasted on large chunks.
It stands to reason that the army's food was very simple, consisting of a large amount of radish gnocchi soup, steamed buns with dead noodles, a little jerky and pickles.
However, the father and elder of Xiluo, who rushed to hear the news nearby, led the pigs and sheep, carried bread and delivered food, and sent things to the Panlong army.
So Panlongjun got several additional meals. Tonight's dead noodle steamed buns have also been replaced with dumplings, and there are even two flavors of pork, green onions, and carrots and eggs.
Wicker and Arlo went over to help make dumplings in the afternoon, and the finished products were brought out, each half the size of a palm, fat and solid, and a mouth full of oil when they took a bite.
Father Liu, who traveled more than 20 miles to deliver meat and vegetables, was from Rongshan, and he liked it very much when he saw wicker, so he had to recognize her as a goddaughter. Later, everyone learned that he came to Xiqian from the Panlong Wasteland in his early years, and his wife and only daughter died in the Rongshan riot a few years ago.
His kindness, no one can bear to refuse.
In the past two days, Yuheng City has been full of laughter.
Although everyone is on the front line.
To the east is another small country, Jinhan.
However, the country was frightened by the Panlong army's attack on Xiqian, and now it is heavily stationed on the border to confront the Panlong army.
If He Lingchuan had climbed the tree now, he would have been able to see the light of the fire on the other side of the line.
That's Kim's army.
It is said that the whole country of Jinchou has been mobilized and is ready to defend the country at all costs.
The two sides are so staring at each other that they may not be able to spark.
He Lingchuan understood that the reason why the Panlong army attacked Xiqi as if it had entered a no-man's land was nothing more than to occupy the word "fast", and before the other party could react, it had already crossed the Xiqi Mountains and entered the plain where there was no danger to defend.
In He Lingchuan's opinion, now
The Golden Prayer is both wary and prepared, and it is also a mountainous area. It is quite difficult for the Panlong Army to win as quickly as before and suffer fewer injuries.
It can be said that the pace of the Panlong army's return to the east will only meet real resistance from now on.
Zhong Shengguang and other high-level executives should know this best.
It depends on how they plan.
He Lingchuan half sat up, and there was still fire and human voices nearby.
Because of the previous big victory, the mood of the whole army was high.
He heard one of the soldiers say, "Last year, I accompanied my uncle through the Dragon's Throat Pass, and when a little leader saw that we were from Panlong City, he asked us to take it
More than 600 pieces of goods on the car were all moved down, and the prohibition was checked! There was a bit of a conflict, and he spat at us. Hehe, how can it be so coincidental, I ran into him on the street yesterday!
"How do you clean him up?"
"I followed him home, and then said that the neighbors had reported him for hiding weapons!" The man laughed, "He was so scared that he almost fell to his knees, and I asked him to move out for me to check on the housestuffs. Hey, don't say it, you really found two long knives! Then his whole family knelt down for me!"
There was laughter all around.
He Lingchuan knew that it was the other squads of the Panlong Army.
The Panlong army was stationed in the western city of Yuheng. Many of the high gates and courtyards here were inhabited by wealthy people, and were later temporarily requisitioned as camps by the Panlong Army so as not to disturb the lives of the ordinary people in the city.
General Hong also specially issued an announcement that as long as he was a good citizen, his life in Yuheng City could be protected.
Of course, the subtext is that the final interpretation of the words "good people" belongs to Panlongjun.
In the past so many days, several main cities have resumed normal life and operation under the watchful eyes of Panlong Army, the shops on the streets have opened for business, and the flow of people in the market has gradually increased.
The city began to get back on track, as if the battle for the kingdom that had lasted for more than half a month had not happened.
In fact, due to the rapid siege of the Panlong army, only the royal palace was the only one who resisted, and even the infrastructure and ecology of the capital city were only slightly damaged, and it was relatively easy to repair.
After the Panlong army finished resting and replenishing supplies in Yuheng City, it was about to set off and continue to return east. General Red has already sent several scouts to spy on Jin Han's military situation.
This has also been the focus of heated discussions from top to bottom of the army in recent days. A big victory at a small cost makes everyone full of anticipation for the return journey to their homeland.
War is by no means simple, but He Lingchuan understands that the truth is far more complicated than that.
After eating dumplings and drinking soup, He Lingchuan climbed back to the roof and began to blow.
The rats passing by the roof beams listened to a stumbling sound.
As a beginner, he still lacks sound and rhythm.
Hu Min rolled his eyes and said to the door panel, "Here we go again. The boss won't let us go for the past few nights."
The door panel also whispered, "He's better to play the flute."
Xun doesn't blow well like a ghost scream, and it's quite appropriate on this battlefield where people die all day long.
After the battle, killing people, and taking medicine, He Lingchuan will start practicing musical instruments when he is idle, and he is called a musical adjustment for military life.
There's no way, after I go back this time, my grandson will have to take the exam.
The other teams also wanted to protest, but when they got closer, they found that it was the broken knife that was screaming, no, it was blowing, and it turned on its heels and went back.
Combat heroes are always privileged.
Fortunately, the broken knife didn't poison them for too long tonight, because a series of military whistles suddenly sounded in front of them:
"Assemble, assemble, read out the military intelligence!"
Major military intelligence? Everyone threw down the guys in their hands and quickly rushed to the west square of the city to assemble.
There were originally many buildings here, but most of them were destroyed in the street battles, and the Panlong army simply sent people to raze them to the ground and launch a square that could accommodate thousands of people.
Soon, thousands of people were in place, the torches were blazing, everyone was standing straight, and the audience was silent.
The Red General walked out with a man dressed in military uniform.
The color of this person's clothes is different from that of Panlong City and Yuan Xiqi.
Under the firelight, his expression was very uneasy.
"This is an envoy sent from the capital. Come to us first, and then send a message to Panlong City!" The Red General raised a few words of introduction, and then said to the messenger, "Come, please read the king's decree aloud!"
Yes? When the envoy heard the second half of her words, he was stunned: "General, this order is only issued to you and Commander Zhong."
"Oh?" General Red held out his hand to him, "Then give it to me."
The messenger was dissatisfied: "Kneel down and accept it!"
As soon as General Red stretched out her hand to snatch the edict, it was so fast that the messenger could not react, and she unfolded it and read it aloud.
It turned out that the envoy of the monarch ordered the envoy to come day and night to convey a piece of reprimand, reprimanding Zhong Shengguang for raising troops without permission, corrupting diplomatic relations, and passing through Xiqi not to promote the prestige of Xiluo, but to harass friendly neighbors and build strong enemies on all sides, unable to understand the heart of the monarch and father, and even trapped in the mother country in war and strife.
It is also said that Xiluo never issued a relocation order to Panlong City, therefore;
"The Panlong army will immediately return westward, suppress my territory, and not trample on friendly countries!" At the end of the sentence, General Red spread his hands, "I'm done."
There was a commotion in the audience, everyone's eyes widened, and even the most disciplined Dafeng army couldn't help but look at each other.
There is such a thing! They actively returned to the country, and the monarch actually ordered a reprimand!
They sent troops quickly, they were invincible, and their mother country was not proud but ashamed!
The king wants them to go back!
Return to an isolated environment surrounded by enemies.
Wicker whispered, "No, really?"
The voice of the door panel was dull: "Dog X, don't let us go back!"
Complaints like this spread rapidly in the army, and they didn't care what the occasion was.
The Ciro envoy in front couldn't stand the angry gaze they cast, and reached out to wipe his sweat. "This is not in line with the etiquette system, general, you have transgressed!"
It is better to hear than to see, this red general's arrogance is even more arrogant than rumored, and he actually recited the monarch's edict directly to the big-headed soldiers!
This is a major matter of the military aircraft and the country, and the monarch specially ordered him to ask Zhong Shengguang to retreat left and right, and no third person can be present.
That's good, that's good, thousands of ears have heard!
These big-headed soldiers are all tendons, what do they know about national strategy?
He must report it truthfully when he goes back! General Red ignored him and only asked the soldiers in the audience, "Did you all hear clearly?"
