Grape wine luminous cup, want to drink the pipa immediately urge, drunk lying on the battlefield Jun Mo smiled, the ancient battle of a few people back.

When you embark on the road of the Northern Expedition, you are destined to be blood-stained on the battlefield.

In the sound of the desolate horn, the army of Yan went all the way north, and seven days later, the boundless cold water river was already in sight.

Along the way, what Yun Que saw in front of him was more and more desolate.

The closer you get to the Hanshui River, the more empty the villages and towns along the road become, and many villages have only houses left, but not a single living person in sight.

The villagers of Biansai have either fled long ago, or have died under the barbarian sword.

Yun Que had visited two larger villages.

There were only a few old men left in the village, their cloudy eyes blank and empty.

After inquiry, it was learned that most of the men in the village had been killed by the barbarians, while the women and children had been captured by the barbarians and taken to the north bank as slaves.

After a seven-day march, Yu Guogong, as the commander, no longer had a trace of a smile, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Everyone can see that this old prince is already angry to the extreme!

Kill my people, kidnap my sons, this hatred is not shared!

At the rear of the army, in the most luxurious carriage, the emperor still sang songs night and night, ignoring the marching matters, as if it was not him, the Yuan Ming Emperor, who was personally driving. Look at the book

Every time at midnight they heard the sound of silk and bamboo, which was very contrasting with the atmosphere of the army, the soldiers had a feeling of discouragement, and wanted to throw away their swords and turn home.

Such an emperor is simply mediocre!

At dusk, the two pioneer battalions arrived at a small village called 'Hedi Village'.

Hedi Village is less than five miles away from the Hanshui River, it is a desolate border place, and it stands to reason that the villagers here should have no life left, but when Yun Que arrived, he found that there were some villagers living in the small village.

Outside the village, two pioneer battalions were assembled in one.

The Northern Expedition was divided into three vanguards, Yun Que was the pioneer on the left, and the pioneer on the right was named Gao Sheng, who was a brave and warlike deputy general in the army, and Lan Yu's most trusted subordinate.

The mid lane vanguard belongs to the Ethereal Pavilion and is led by the Iron Hand.

said to be the pioneer in the middle of the road, the people of the Ethereal Pavilion have been wandering in the army since they set out on the expedition, and without the order of the national teacher, they have no intention of going out at all, let alone exploring the way.

"How can there be living people here? Isn't he so poor that even a barbarian can't look down on him?"

The pioneer on the right side drove his horse to a high slope, and looked at the village with a pergola, full of doubts.

Yun Que also walked up the hill and looked up.

In the village not far away, there were scattered figures swaying and moving slowly, as if they were all old people.

"Let's see." Yun Que commanded.

Immediately, scouts rushed down the dirt slope and went straight to the entrance of the village.

"Yunhou is too careful, such a small village, at best, there are a hundred and ten people, even if they are all barbarians pretending, what can they do, they can still stop the Northern Expedition of a million troops!" Ascension arrogant and awe-inspiring way.

Yun Que smiled, noncommittal.

He has dealt with Gao Sheng several times in the past few days, and he is familiar with it.

Gao Sheng is cultivated, not an ordinary general, the realm is in the late stage of qi refining, he specializes in using heavy swords, his strength is heavy, and he has nothing to say in terms of force, so he has a few chances of winning when he challenges the sword of the Sword Palace.

But Gao Sheng has a problem, he is too proud, and he doesn't look down on barbarians in his heart.

Since ancient times, soldiers have summed up the truth that those who underestimate the enemy are easy to lose.

After a short time, the scouts reported that the village was full of old people, and there was no danger.

"The terrain here is good, it is the most suitable place to set up camp, Yunhou, let's go to the village and take a look!"

Gao Sheng had to go into the village in person.

Wu Dachuan, who was following Yun Que, muttered, "Could there be fraud? There are blood barbarians among the barbarians, and it will be difficult for ordinary soldiers to deal with them."

The soldiers are not tired of deceit, especially since it is too close to the Hanshui River, and it is easy for the barbarians to use it as an ambush point.

After careful recuperation, Wu Dachuan had recovered at this time, and with the existence of Lei Linggen, he even had a layer of qi refining

of the cultivation.

Maybe it was the experience in the transformation realm that made him more and more cautious.

Gao Sheng didn't care at all when he heard this, and said proudly: "How can Yunhou's guards be cowardly, when they go into battle to kill the enemy, this kind of courage is not good, no matter if he is bloody and savage, he has to be a ghost under my sword!"

Picking up two heavy knives, Gao Sheng rushed into the village with a dozen guards.

He is a right-lane pioneer officer, and Wu Dachuan is just a big-headed soldier, so he naturally doesn't dare to say anything.

"Yunhou, do we want to go along? I always felt like this village was a trap." Wu Dachuan worried.

"It doesn't matter."

Yun Que smiled and walked into the village after ascending.

The village is dilapidated, with thatched huts and dirt roads, which shows how difficult the living conditions here are.

If it weren't for the cold water river that could fish and satisfy hunger, I'm afraid that the people here would have starved to death.

The village is quiet.

Except for dozens of old people, there are no living creatures, not a single chicken, duck, cat or dog.

In a vacant lot in the village, an old man was giving Gao Sheng a succession.

"Your Excellency spares your life! We really don't have food in Hedi Village, we haven't eaten for three days, so let us go."

Gao Sheng stuck two heavy knives into the ground, hugged his arms and said loudly:

"Open your old eyes and see clearly! I am Dayan's general, not a barbarian! The Northern Expedition has arrived, so you don't have to be afraid anymore!"

"Huh? Our Yan Kingdom has finally sent troops?" The old man hurriedly rubbed his eyes, looked carefully at everyone's armor, and suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Great! We are saved, we are saved!"

When the other villagers heard that the Yan army had arrived, they gathered around one after another, smiling happily and not speaking, and their old faces were smiling like flowers.

Gao Sheng was quite proud, and this savior-like feeling made him refreshed.

However, looking at the smiles of this group of old men, Wu Dachuan's hairs stood up, and he always felt an indescribable weirdness.

"Settle your belongings, requisition this place as a camp, and when we leave, we don't care if we lose anything." Gao Sheng ordered.

"Good! Good! Adults can live as they please, and there is nothing of value in Hedi Village except for us old guys." The old man replied.

"You're Muramasa." Yun Que asked.

"Yes, I'm the village chief of Hedi Village, and adults call me Lao Niu." The old village chief said with a smile.

"I think you're full of energy, but you don't look like you haven't eaten for three days, old cow, you should have just eaten." Yun Que looked at the other party with a smile and said, "And I ate a lot."

The village chief, who claimed to be Lao Niu, stiffened with a smile on his face and said:

"I actually drank water, no way, except for water, there is really nothing left in the village, hey, no, I drank too much water, I urgently urinated, I will go first to facilitate and convenient."

After saying that, the old village chief turned around and ran, his steps were fast, not the speed that an old man should have, and he slipped into one of the largest thatched huts.

After entering the door, the old village chief looked back at the crowd, a strange smile appeared on his face, and then closed the door with a bang.

"Why doesn't this guy look right?" Gao Shenghu was suspicious, he also noticed the strangeness of the old village chief.

Then Gao Sheng grabbed an old villager, wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, "Say! What the hell is there to eat in your village! That old cow just now, I guess it's a human who can't eat it!"

The old man who was caught had a sad face and said tremblingly:

"Hui, Hui, the village chief, he has a granddaughter named Niu Tong, who hasn't been out of the house for a few days, maybe, maybe the village chief is too hungry......

Gao Sheng's face sank, pushed the old villager away, grabbed two heavy knives and strode towards the thatched hut where the old village chief was hiding.
