Chapter Seventy-Five: The Battlefield
Gu Sheng set up a recliner at the bow of the boat, there is no such thing in this world, so he naturally painted it.
From time to time, a strong wind was drawn, pushing the ship forward quickly, causing the people on both sides of the boat to exclaim, but they did not know what was going on.
Yan Ruyu was wearing her previous face and was busy preparing to eat in the cabin.
Anyway, the two of them looked at each other awkwardly, and after a few days of intimacy, they became tired of looking at each other.
After all, Gu Sheng couldn't be eager for his previous face, and he was not a pervert.
Yan Ruyu is the same, facing an ugly face she doesn't know, she can't wait to hide from eight zhang away, even if she knows that this is her own son.
The ship walked downstream for another half a day, and it was all the way to the checkpoint, collecting taxes layer by layer.
Although the two of them didn't have anything on the boat, their faces couldn't see people, thanks to the human skin drawn by Gu Sheng.
Otherwise, the two of them will have to break up the boat, cross the shore at night, and then draw a boat.
After passing through a few checkpoints, when passing through the waterfront, Gu Sheng turned into the waterfront to the northwest, walked for a day and then turned to the northeast, and finally entered the Nulong River after half a day.
After another day's walk, it was not far from Dongyang, and it was a hundred miles to the north.
Before we reached Dongyang, there were hardly many people on the northern coast.
First there was a great drought, then a big flood, two days in a row, either starving to death, or revolting to become a thief army, now even if the water news has passed, there are no people for ten miles, and occasionally you can see the white bones of Sensen on the riverside.
Even Seti flew to the bow of the ship.
"Although the plague has begun to dissipate, it is still strong. I could sense that the plague was heading in that direction. ”
Seti looked northeast.
Gu Sheng thought about it, the northeast direction should be the direction of Xinchang Mansion, Qingyang County and other places, it stands to reason that Xinchang Mansion has been defeated by the thief army, how can the disaster surge in that direction?
A thought popped up in Gu Sheng's heart, could it be the army of the imperial court to quell the rebellion?
This may be quite big, the thief army in Dongyang is not small, affecting several prefectures, and the imperial army will naturally come to clean it up.
Gu Sheng looked up and saw that Seti was looking at him steadily, although he didn't speak, the meaning in his eyes was very clear.
For this human early warning aircraft, Gu Sheng still attaches great importance to it.
Setty is useless in battle, also because her strength is too low, she is just a newborn god, if her strength is improved, with her strange means of disaster reduction, it can be of great use.
Not to mention that Zhu Yushu still has to borrow strength from her.
Not to mention these two points, there is almost no need for it along the way, it is rare to be so eager to do so, Gu Sheng also has to think about it.
Hongqiao Mansion suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the atmosphere of disaster was extremely strong, which made Seti gain a lot. On the battlefield of at least hundreds of thousands of troops on the side of Xinchangfu, the disaster is even more terrifying, and only staying for a few days can also make Seti have a lot of benefits.
"What happened to the Flower of Calamity on my body?" Gu Sheng asked.
"It's withered, it's not growing anymore." Setty replied.
"That is, the other party is chasing in the wrong direction......" Gu Sheng nodded: "Then go to Xinchangfu, if you see the flower of calamity growing on my body, remind me." ”
After walking five or six hundred miles to the east, Gu Sheng and Yan Ruyu stuffed everything into the Qiankun bag and jumped off the boat.
Behind him, the passenger ship dissipated like a dream bubble.
This is a rocky beach, and there is a barren mountain in front of it, but it does not affect the hurry, the two of them put on the magic talisman, and the speed is very fast, and they rushed to the vicinity of Xinning Mansion in just one day.
As soon as she arrived in the plains, Seti was flying in the air, and Gu Sheng always felt that she was drawing 8 characters.
I saw Seti extract the gray calamity breath from the air, weave it into butterflies in her hands, and flutter around it.
"Go that way." Seti points to the northeast.
"Let's go!" Gu Sheng took Yan Ruyu and continued to hurry, the more he walked, the more cold he felt in his heart, this place was already in Qingyang County, but he couldn't see anyone at all.
During this time, I passed through a village, and saw that it was full of mess, broken houses, and a few rotting and smelly corpses, but there were no living people.
When passing by Qingyang County, Gu Sheng glanced at it from a distance, and saw a large black crow hovering over the city, and Gu Sheng's heart suddenly jumped.
"It's over!" This thought popped up in Gu Sheng's mind, and he hurried to Qingyang County under his feet, and jumped directly onto the wall seven or eight meters high, but what he saw made Gu Sheng's heart even colder.
The whole city was empty, and there was not the slightest sign of the living, and there were piles of rotting bones everywhere along the roadside, and crows hovered in the air.
Even the air smells rancid.
This Qingyang County is already a dead city.
"How so?" When Yan Ruyu saw this scene, her face also changed miserably.
Gu Sheng's heart was almost filled with anger, no matter what, his predecessor had lived here for more than ten years, and those memories were left to him. Although he had only been here for a month, he was extremely familiar with all parts of Qingyang County.
Even if I had heard that the rebel army had hit this before, I didn't expect it to be such a tragic scene.
No matter how much it is described in the book, no matter how much you imagine it in your mind, it is not as impactful as what you see in front of you, and it is not as terrible as what you see in front of you.
Feeling Yan Ruyu holding his hand tightly, Gu Sheng gradually calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "People are not dead, some people should be coerced into the chaotic army." ”
"Let's go."
Gu Sheng didn't want to look at it anymore, turned around and jumped off the wall.
"Setty, lend me some strength." As Gu Sheng spoke, he took out the paper and tore out the two villains, then put them on his chest and pulled them out, only to see that the villain had been dyed with a little yellow-green color.
This is the plague.
The great plague will be followed by a great plague, which is caused by the dead being left unburied.
Gu Sheng did this on Yan Ruyu again, and then burned the two villains.
On the next road, Gu Sheng could see small groups of rebels from time to time, looking for villages everywhere to search and loot, it can be seen that those people were originally farmers, digging in the fields, but now they are no different from the most cruel wolves.
Gu Sheng just watched from a distance every time, and didn't get close, so he turned around and left.
He thought that the people who were still alive in Qingyang County had probably become like this.
After driving for most of the day, I passed through the area where Qingyunguan was located, and finally stopped near the Ning River.
"This is the place, the disaster here is the strongest, and many people will die." Setty floated in the air, looking in a good mood.
Gu Sheng looked around, there was a forest on this side of the river, in addition to a flat river, and on the other side, there were some mounds and hills.
"Half-crossed? No, it's digging a river to release water? After Gu Sheng looked around carefully, this thought popped up in his mind.
The terrain on this side of the river is low, if someone is storing water upstream, or there is simply a Taoist master begging for rain upstream, as soon as the water is released, this side of the river will be immediately flooded by the water, even if it does not drown, it will become a swamp, and then row a small boat to cover it, it is really like killing chickens and dogs.
Of course, this is also Gu Sheng's speculation that he knows that many people will die here, and it does not mean that he really knows the art of war.
In fact, he only knew the familiar ones about the thirty-six schemes.
For example, the beauty plan.
For example, the color lure meter.
For example, I can't bear to let my mother-in-law trap a wolf.
"Let's go to the hill over there." Gu Sheng turned around and walked towards the mountain in the southeast, which should belong to the edge of the battlefield and was suitable for hiding.
