Chapter 62: Sand and Dust

As long as Cook Shu can be on the throne, with the assistance of strategists like them, why can't he destroy Da Liang and enter the Central Plains.

As for why Liu Shengming is reluctant to serve Da Liang, the reason is simple, Da Rong and Da Liang, one is like a powerful young man like Kong Wu, and the other is an old man who is getting weaker.

Who to choose, it goes without saying.

If the Cook technique can really destroy the Great Liang, with their merits, they will not be able to leave their names in history, and they will be written in the history books of Rongguo.

Those who have great talents, who don't want to show their talents in this troubled era, great achievements, and a hundred generations, this is also the pursuit of readers.

"Your Highness is right, but the Liangren army that went out of the city this time is indeed not a cause for concern, but if you let it go, I'm afraid it will be some trouble."

In response to Liu Shengming's reminder, Cook Shu nodded, his face did not change at all, and he said unhurriedly.

"Sir's worries, this king understands, but those people this king really doesn't look at it, thousands of people and horses go out of the city to receive reinforcements, not to mention the long distance, just the bad environment, they have to be trapped for a while."

"When the reinforcements return to Zhenjuncheng, Zhenjuncheng at that time is already a dead city."

Liu Shengming's eyes froze, as if he was thinking of something, and hesitated, "Your Highness is thinking..."

"Although the city is high and the walls are thick, but the water source, hehe, you Liangren have a good saying, no poison is not husband, this is a war, as long as it can be won, any means can be used."

"This king has already arranged manpower, just wait and see."

Liu Shengming nodded, respectfully bowed his hand to the Cook technique, turned around and retreated.

This is the person Liu Shengming is worth following, he has the means, the strategy, and the critical moment is ruthless enough, so why worry about such a person not succeeding in a great cause.

Just as Liu Shengming was about to step out of the big tent, the voice of Cook Shu sounded in Du.

"By the way, sir, there is something that this king wants to tell you, according to the information that this king has obtained, the genius marksman who came out of Zhenjun City is called Su Qi'an, and it seems that he is from a person called Lingbei County in Xizhou."

"Sir, the place where you lurked before, if this king remembers correctly, it seems to be called Lingbei County, Mr. has been lurking for so long, and he hasn't found such a character, Mr. has made mistakes."

Cook's voice was very soft, but it made Liu Shengming's body stiffen, and his face changed.

This kind of inquiry, which seems to be an inquiry, is actually a kind of accountability.

Cook's accountability is different from others, the more important the accountability, the more there is no resentment, and it is very peaceful.

But this attitude is enough to make all subordinates tremble, if you don't give a satisfactory explanation, look at it, within three days, you will definitely disappear quietly.

To be honest, this kind of negligence is indeed Liu Shengming's responsibility, he has been in Lingbei County for several years, how could he not know the name Su Qi'an.

You must know that he is leaving the mountain, and the Dongzi Mountain he occupies was exterminated by Su Qi'an and Xie Cang.

Regarding Su Qi'an, Liu Shengming only thinks that he is a literati student with great talent like him, and the results of his investigation are also this kind of show.

Even if he comes to Ningzhou, he is at most a staff member and plays the role of a military advisor.

Liu Shengming once thought that if he really ran into Su Qi'an, the two could compete in strategy.

Who knows, this Su Qi'an has not yet shown his extraordinary strategy, but he has shown his amazing force.

It is a terrible thing for a person who is both civil and military to appear on the battlefield in Ningzhou.

Being able to hide his force for so long, it can be seen from this that Su Qi'an must be an extremely delicate and calm person.

If this person does not solve it, it will be a big problem for them.

After a moment of accountability in Cook's Technique, Liu Shengming's mind spun rapidly, and he knelt down in front of Cook's Technique, and hurriedly said.

"Your Highness, this matter is a dereliction of duty on the part of your subordinates, and your subordinates are willing to be punished in any way, but I just hope that Your Highness can give your subordinates a chance, and your subordinates will definitely guarantee that this matter will be resolved, and Su Qi'an will definitely not be an obstacle to our army."

It was quiet inside the tent, but it wasn't long before the sound of Cook's art rang out.

"Harm, Mr. doesn't have to blame himself so much, just understand this matter clearly, since Mr. is so promised, this king won't say much, as long as Mr. can handle this matter well, this matter will pass."

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates retire." Liu Shengming nodded again and again, and then quickly left.

Liu Shengming walked out of the big tent and looked at the hazy Zhenjun City in front of him, his face was constantly changing.

But Liu Shengming quickly calmed his mood and muttered softly, "Su Qi'an, you'd better not become an obstacle to my army's iron cavalry, otherwise, Ningzhou will be your burial place!"

……

At this time, Su Qi'an and Zheng Liang, who had successfully left the city, after passing through the wind and sand, after identifying the direction, the two divided their troops and left in two directions.

This time, Su Qi'an and Zheng Liang both received the task, and they had to respond to at least three military cities before they could return.

Because of Zhou Yan's escape from the battle, Xie Cang left Tong Zhan by Su Qi'an's side.

With Tong Zhan by his side, Xie Cang can feel more at ease.

The 2,500 soldiers led by Su Qi'an and Tong Zhan galloped wildly along the way, and the whole army maintained a combat mode.

In order to prepare for the attack of the Daei army, but they walked forty or fifty miles, but they did not encounter an attack.

This made Su Qi'an's heart feel a little calmer, although the soldiers who went out of the city put life and death aside, but if they really ran into it, with their numbers, it would really be more than lucky.

Moreover, the soldiers and horses under the command of Su Qi'an are not one, but multi-army armies.

There are the Xiao cavalry and Yan cavalry under the command of Liu Zhen and Chen Zhi before, as well as some of the remaining tiger troops under Zhou Yan.

With such a soldier composed of three services, Su Qi'an's heart was still a little empty, but fortunately, he was not attacked by the enemy along the way.

After running for another forty or fifty miles in the yellow sand in the sky, Su Qi'an decided to find a sheltered position and rest.

According to the map, the location of the military city that Su Qi'an was going to meet was two or three hundred miles away from the town military city.

Even if those soldiers of the military city have already set out, it will take at least two or three days to march in this sky full of yellow sand.

Su Qi'an's troops are not many, and once they encounter the enemy, not to mention crushing, they will definitely have the upper hand.

So along the way, ensuring your own safety is the first priority.

After stepping out of the town military city, Su Qi'an really knew the desolation of Ningzhou.

Along the way, except for the yellow sand, there is not even vegetation to be seen along the way, and everyone is like being in a desert.

The only temporary resting place that can be found is a dilapidated inn that has been abandoned for many years.

There was nothing in the inn, it was empty, except for the surrounding earthen walls that seemed to shelter from the wind, and the houses inside had long been dilapidated and uninhabitable.

Although the interior is dilapidated, at least it is sheltered from the wind, which is good, and it is already dark by this time.

Traveling at night is the most dangerous, not to mention the sudden drop in temperature, if you encounter a sandstorm, it is really hopeless.

Su Qi'an dismounted and quickly entered the post station, and the surrounding Tucheng arranged for soldiers to patrol early, but fortunately, before leaving the city, each soldier was carrying some dry firewood.

The firewood is gathered together and lit, the flame rises, and a wave of warmth is released.

In the post station, bonfires were lit everywhere, the soldiers sat together, the cold wind was whistling in their ears, the fire was swaying, and from time to time the sound of dry wood explosions sounded, and the soldiers sitting close together, a tired look spread, and soon snoring sounded.

And beside a bonfire in the middle, Su Qi'an's face was solemn, and with the faint spark, he looked at the military map in his hand.

Tong Zhan on the side persuaded Su Qi'an to rest, but was refused.

At this time, Su Qi'an, where did he have the heart to rest, this was the first time he commanded an army in a war.

Although there are many different types of troops, it is also an army, and the lives of more than 2,000 people are in his hands.

As a commander, protecting their lives is the first priority.

Su Qi'an had to think about every step he did next, and unconsciously, after stepping into the battlefield of Ningzhou, even Su Qi'an didn't expect that he, an outsider who was originally a spectator, gradually integrated into this group of soldiers.

The night passed quickly, and the darkness of the night was replaced by the faint light of the sky.

Su Qi'an woke up early, sat on the horse, and felt the cool breeze blowing in his ears, Su Qi'an suddenly sobered up a lot.

It was a cold night, but at least it wasn't a big deal.

After a quarter of an hour's rest, the army quickly assembled and soon went in one direction.

Good luck rested safely for the night, but this good luck did not always favor Su Qi'an.

After the army had walked twenty or thirty miles, suddenly, some bright sky suddenly darkened.

The cool breeze that blew in immediately became cold, and the yellow sand in the sky gathered in one direction.

In the distance, a gray thing like a wave, obscuring the skyline, came quickly.

Everyone looked at this scene, and their faces changed instantly.

"It's not good, it's a sandstorm, run!"

"Don't mess around! Obey my orders, the whole army immediately dismounts, quickly surround together, quick!"

Su Qi'an looked at the somewhat flustered soldier and immediately shouted.

The soldiers immediately dismounted, and according to the different branches of the army, the heavy armor and shield bearers were outside, and the cavalry and archers were included, forming a large circle.

In fact, this is also a way to have no choice, if you gallop on a horse and can't run far, you will be overturned by the sand city storm in the distance.

Simply apply for the group, even if the chance of escape is small, but at least there is hope.

The sandstorm that gathered quickly swallowed Su Qi'an and other 2,500 soldiers at the fastest speed.

The wind was howling, and there was no picture to be seen, but vaguely visible, some of the soldiers were swept up into the air by the sandstorm and headed into the distance.

The sudden sandstorm lasted for half an hour before it gradually disappeared.

After the dust, Su Qi'an and the others, who were standing in place to report to the group, where were there still traces of them, only a thick yellow sand.

They disappeared as if they had never appeared.

I don't know how long it took, but somewhere, in a desert-like place, a piece of yellow sand flowed.

Gradually, one hand stretched out from the yellow sand, and then a soldier in armor crawled out of the yellow sand.
