Chapter 33: Rebellion in the Army's Heart

Konoha has been very busy in the past two days, with 3,000 dead and wounded in the army that night, and a lot of war horses also injured.

She was busy all day long, checking the military situation, comforting the wounded soldiers, distributing military food, and did not have a moment to rest.

Konoha is skillful in these things, but these soldiers are not brought out by her own hands, and there are people who secretly stir up trouble, and disputes in the army often occur.

It is not too troublesome to deal with, but it is a tricky matter to stabilize the morale of the military impartially.

Konoha knew in his heart that the Nanwan army would soon be in chaos, although the military rations were still urgent, but the rations of the fallen soldiers were evenly divided, the wounded military horses were slaughtered, and some camels were sent to the livestock, and these days could be survived.

But I am afraid that some people in the army will spread rumors and disturb the morale of the army.

The army's heart is in chaos, and it is difficult to control it depending on how high Konoha is.

After Konoha figured out that Han Lin and Nan Wan were colluding, she knew that if even Han Lin could do such a thing, then the soldiers and generals under her command would have this possibility.

Sure enough, people with bad intentions tried to make trouble, but Konoha never showed mercy, and strictly ordered those who disturbed the morale of the army to be killed several times.

The situation was slightly better in the past two days, and there were many fewer disputes in the army.

Konoha was a little idle, but he didn't dare to relax in his heart.

"County Lord, you've been hungry for a busy day, eat quickly." Mu Yun held a copper plate in his hand, which contained a palm-sized piece of dried meat and a mare's milk.

Konoha stretched out his hand to take it, took out the dagger on his waist and split the dried meat in two, picked up half of it himself, and then pushed the copper plate to Mu Yun: "You have been running with me for a day, eat some." โ€

"How dare the last general divide the county lord's food! The county lord Jin Zun is noble, and he shouldn't have suffered like this. Mu Yun hurriedly pushed the copper plate back.

"Don't be humble, eat quickly, I'll let you run errands after eating." Konoha spoke softly, with a firmness that could not be refused.

Mu Yun choked and took it, just took two bites, and suddenly stopped: "County Lord, listen!" โ€

The mountain wind was howling, and the sound of fighting could be faintly heard, and in this quiet twilight moment, a dull howl came one after another, clearly recognizable and creepy.

Konoha listened intently for a moment, his eyebrows stood up, and a rare burst of fierce and undisguised murderous aura erupted, Huo Ran jumped up, lifted the bright silver spear and rushed out.

Mu Yun followed, leading the Chinese army to patrol the camp and follow Konoha to the door of a military tent in the middle of the circle.

A strange smell of flesh wafted out of the tent door, and the terrible cry was no longer audible, so quiet that it was frightening.

There were many soldiers around the military tent, and everyone had a strange expression on their faces, as if they were frightened and crazy.

Konoha opened the tent door with a gun and strode in.

Everyone patrolling the camp followed Mu Yun into the tent together, and the moment they saw the scene in the tent, they were all dumbfounded.

On the straw mat in the middle of the military tent, there were two bloody corpses, the limbs had turned into bloodshot white skeletons, and the blood was bubbling in the iron helmets hanging from the firewood pile.

The tent was steaming with mist, and as if they didn't feel the heat, four or five soldiers directly reached out to fish out the still red meat from the boiling water and gnawed on it.

Their faces were distorted and distorted, as monstrous as beasts.

Mu Yun pointed to the corpse and roared: "They eat the wounded soldiers!" โ€

"Kill them all!" Konoha shouted, and the spear was handed forward, nailing a carnivore to the ground.

Mu Yun led the people patrolling the camp to rush up and executed all the meat eaters in an instant.

Konoha was trembling with anger, these people really did everything to shake the morale of the army.

They chose the middle of the circle to let all the soldiers know that the army was so short of food that they needed to eat people.

They succeeded in igniting a flame called panic in the army.

And Konoha couldn't extinguish it.

There is no time to wait for the civil strife in Nanwan, only to break through as soon as possible, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

"Mu Yun," Konoha called in a low voice, "the order goes down, and all the livestock carrying the supplies will be executed, including the wounded military horses." After everyone had eaten their fills, we broke through in the second half of the night. โ€

Mu Yun was shocked: "County Lord, do you want to think about it again?" โ€

"Besides," Konoha ignored his questioning, "move smaller, don't let the Nanwan people notice." โ€

After finishing speaking, Konoha turned around and walked out of the military tent, and finally left a sentence: "After the arrangements are made, you and Wolf Qi will come to me." โ€

Mu Yun didn't dare to delay, and after the general's order was delivered, he came to Konoha with Wolf Qi.

"I will take seven hundred heavy cavalry to attack the exit of Su Muyu's town, and if his people can't hold it, they will call the Lieyue Army to come over for reinforcements, and the two of you will wait for this opportunity to rush out from the valley."

Seeing that the two had something to say, Konoha raised his hand to interrupt and motioned for the two of them to continue to listen to their own arrangements: "The entrance to the valley is narrow, be sure not to light the lamp and not alarm Nanwan, and go directly to the winter pass after leaving Tanglong Valley." The two of you, especially Mu Yun, can't show up in front of Han Lin's eyes, and Han Lin won't embarrass ordinary generals. โ€

"County Lord!" Mu Yun knelt on the ground, "There is no life in breaking through, the villain is willing to go, and he asks the county lord to agree." โ€

Konoha smiled and patted Mu Yun's shoulder to get him up: "I won't die, Su Muyu doesn't dare to let me die." You don't have to argue with me about this. โ€

Wolf Qi also knelt down: "County Lord, among all the people trapped in the valley now, the county lord is the most noble and the least likely to have an accident, and the brothers should protect the county lord to escape, how can it be the other way around?" โ€

The two knelt firmly, as if Konoha did not agree with the two of them, so they refused to get up.

Konoha was slightly moved in his heart, but he was helpless, and patiently explained to the two: "The person Su Muyu wants is me, so no matter where I am, he must catch me before he stops." โ€

She paused, and then spoke: "Besides, I took 700 people in exchange for the lives of the remaining 10,000 soldiers, what a worthy deal!" โ€

Mu Yun retorted: "Why did the county lord say this, you alone are more important than all of us else, your words are too inappropriate." โ€

In fact, Mu Yun is right, a handsome talent must be far more important than tens of thousands of ordinary generals, but Konoha doesn't see it that way.

Originally, she also thought so, at that time, Konoha was proud and self-contained, she was originally very capable, and Gu Yunlie and the Lieyue generals around her all doted on her, and they turned her from the poor orphan girl in the Prime Minister's Mansion to a deputy marshal with no one in her eyes.

At that time, she felt that the soldiers should obey the general's orders, let them charge, and let some of them be used as bait to die for the sake of the battle situation, which was also for the sake of the overall situation, and there was nothing wrong with it.

She gave generous compensation to the families of the fallen soldiers, and she felt that she was worthy of being treated well.

Gu Yunlie had said her a few times, but she never understood.

It wasn't until after a rebellion had been put down, when the people lined up to meet the Burning Moon Army, and when she rode on a tall horse, she saw an old lady in the crowd crying sadly, and she dismounted with great kindness and asked the old woman why she was sad.

"The handsome man was naturally happy when he returned victorious, but the old woman's three sons went out with the handsome, but none of them returned."

The old woman's tears struck her heart like hammers, shattering her arrogance.

Human life is the most precious thing in the world, and the rich and poor in life never distinguish between the rich and the poor in the face of death.

Since then, Konoha has never felt more noble than his soldiers, and he has never used human life as bait.

There are seven hundred heavy cavalry, and only these seven hundred people can tear apart Su Muyu's arrow array. It was really helpless to sacrifice them, they were selected and trained by Konoha, and they were also the people that Konoha could trust at this time.

But now, she didn't plan to tell this story to Mu Yun and Wolf Qi, so she only said in a stern tone: "I have made up my mind, you two don't have to say more, just do what I order." โ€

Even when she said this, the two refused to get up.

Konoha was a little annoyed: "You two don't lose your temper at this time, I naturally have my plan to do this." โ€

Mu Yun still wanted to speak, but Konoha threw an eye knife over and made him shut up.

Konoha was satisfied to see that the two of them no longer refutated, and suddenly remembered one more thing: "Mu Yun, tonight you ride a thousand miles of smoke and clouds, I want to snow and snow." โ€

"County Lord!" Mu Yun roared anxiously: "Kyaukxue is not as good as a thousand miles of smoke and clouds, His Royal Highness wants to break through, so he can ride a good horse." โ€

Konoha waited for him to finish roaring, and explained unhurriedly: "Kyaukxue is also my war horse, but I don't ride it often." You don't know, Su Muyu's eyes have been hot for a long time, I would rather be punished by Emperor Jianzhao than be willing to give it to him, and I can't ask him to pick up this cheap today. โ€

Mu Yun listened to this explanation, blocked his breath, and held back a sentence for a long time: "The county lord forgot?" Your horse won't let me come close. โ€

Konoha ignored him anymore and turned to Wolf Seven: "It's all ready outside?" โ€

Wolf Qi nodded: "Everything is ready, just wait for the county lord's order." โ€

Konoha shook off his robe and walked out of the military tent. Outside the tent, 700 heavily armored cavalry were waiting in line.

She took her thousand-mile smoke cloud cover, put her arms around the horse's neck and whispered a few words in its ear, and then handed the reins to Mu Yun's hands.

Qianli Smoke Cloud Cover snorted a few times, although he looked impatient, he no longer resisted Mu Yun.

Konoha Fei took on the snow skull, and ordered at the seven hundred heavy cavalry: "Brothers of the heavy cavalry battalion, follow me to break through!" "Point the spear at you instead of the military order.

Seven hundred people shouted in unison: "Follow the county lord and swear to break through!" โ€

Then they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the earth wailed and sang an elegy.

Everything in the Danchen army tonight was seen by Gu Yunlie.

When Konoha set up camp, he chose a location close to the valley mouth, almost under Gu Yunlie's nose.

Qi Yu and a few of them also heard the miserable howl, and they all rushed over and stood on the cliff to see what happened in the Danchen army.

They couldn't see what was going on in the army, but they could recognize the faint smell of meat.

"They eat wounded soldiers?!" Qingyi was shocked, "But I see that the crescent moon has been very well scheduled these days, and it is far from this point." โ€

Gu Yunlie frowned, knowing that someone must be secretly making trouble, and I am afraid that it will not be calm tonight.

Sure enough, after Konoha executed those people, Danchen's army got busy, slaughtering livestock and burying pots to make rice.

This is a common occurrence these days, but a closer look reveals that tonight is on a larger scale than usual.

Qi Yu squinted and looked at it for a long time: "Is the crescent moon planning to break through?" โ€

Gu Yunlie nodded, in agreement, and turned his head and asked, "Su Muyu didn't get any news over there, right?" โ€

"How smart the crescent moon is, the tent is set up under us, far away from the valley mouth that Su Muyu guards, he can't see it." Qi Yu's tone was filled with pride.

Gu Yunlie ordered: "Send the brothers to watch, if someone in her army wants to report to the other side, shoot them directly." โ€

Qingyi simply agreed and went down to find someone.

Qi Yu was still standing beside Gu Yunlie, hesitated for a while, and still asked: "According to the temperament of the crescent moon, it is inevitable to fight Su Muyu face to face, shall we help her, or ยทยทยทยทยทยท?"

There was a long silence, so long that Qi Yu began to wonder if he had asked this sentence at all.

"But I hope that with her ability, she can escape from Su Muyu's hands." Gu Yunlie's voice was very soft, and it could be easily blown away by the night wind.
