Chapter 400: No Different

"I have heard a poem written by Dayu people before, one of which is called: Roll up the flag and rob the single in the account at night, and cut off the beard and lack the treasure knife, but today we are going to rewrite this poem." On the Qingjie Yan Ancient Road in the moonlit night, someone in the long line of invisible people said with a smile.

And this person is the real commander of the grassland army, Mu Hua Li Falcon.

"Those damn Dayu literati like to write these poems to belittle our steppe tribes, but I don't know if they can write such poems so hard when we put a long knife on their necks." Wan Qi Yuele said with a disdainful expression on his horse.

"You may be underestimating the so-called character of those Dayu literati." Murong Tongwei said.

"Haha, I hate those hard bones the most, so every time I catch this kind of person in Grass Valley, I will kill them directly so as not to waste food." Wan Qiyue laughed strangely.

"It's a terrible thing!" Murong Tong said with a slight sneer.

"They can't be used by me, what am I going to do with them?" Wan Qi Yuele said disapprovingly. In this regard, Murong Tongwei didn't want to defend him anymore.

Although they both belong to the grassland tribe, in the final analysis, they are also enemies, once their grassland tribe can really enter the Central Plains, there will inevitably be a war between them.

Therefore, Murong Tongwei felt that there was no need to teach him the art of controlling people.

"Lord Shaman, this time we have the threat of the Mighty Army behind us, and the next battle will not be easy to fight!" Murong Tong slightly changed the topic.

Mu Hua Li Falcon rode on the war horse, looking at the dense grass and trees on both sides of the Qingjie Yan Ancient Road, and listening to the tapping sound of the war horse's hooves stepping on the stone slab, but his mood was very calm.

"Dayu is really a good place!" Mu Huali Falcon replied to the question.

"Compared to the bitter cold of our grassland, this is simply a treasure of nature, and these trees still give people a sense of vitality even if they have fallen their autumn leaves." Muhua Li Falcon reached out and pulled a branch from the tree beside the road.

"Yes, so many tall and large trees could not be used to make siege engines." Wan Qi Yuele also looked at the trees around the road, and his eyes were very hot.

You have to know how difficult it is to find trees in their steppes to make siege machines. And any of these trees growing on the side of the road in front of me can be used to make siege equipment.

"The people of the Dayu Dynasty all use these trees to build houses, you see, the palaces and gardens of the Dayu Dynasty are all built with these trees, if our people can also live in such houses, even if the white disaster is big in winter, it doesn't matter." Murong Tongwei squinted at Wan Qi Yue Le with disdain, and said.

In his opinion, Wan Qi Yuele is a madman who only knows about war. It's okay for such a person to fight the world at all, but it's not okay for him to rule the world at all.

Therefore, like Wan Qi Yuele, when the grassland tribe attacked the Dayu Dynasty in an all-out way in the future, he could only be a general who charged into battle.

And the triumphant Murong Tongwei didn't notice that Wan Qi Yuele at this time also had a disdainful smile on his face.

"You two guys are really sweeping Yaxing, can't these trees grow here safely except for building houses and siege equipment?" Mu Hua Li Falcon looked at the two of them with disgust and said.

When the two of them saw Mu Hua Li Falcon say this, they immediately shut their mouths. So the steppe army marching on the green step inkstone became quiet again.

All that remains of the deep ancient road is the sound of horseshoe stepping on stones, the occasional cry of night owls and the melodious howl of wolves in the woods.

However, the steppe army was not afraid of this. On the contrary, they all think that it is a good omen.

Because wolves are ancestors and gods in their culture. So they thought that the wolf howl was a hymn that their ancestors sang for them.

The bad mood of these grassland soldiers who were originally persecuted by the Weisheng Army suddenly improved a lot. Although they didn't know how difficult it would be to attack Jinling City next, their worries about the unknown slowly dissipated under the howl of wolves and the howl of wolves.

Unlike these grassland soldiers, Jing Zizheng and others can be regarded as in a hurry along the way. Since they didn't know what happened to Li Yi and them on the other side of Jinling City, he decided to let everyone hurry up and arrive in Jinling City in front of the grassland army.

Therefore, Jing Zizheng and others chose to take the official road instead of the more hidden Qingjie Yan Ancient Road. At this time, the moonlight was like water, quietly sprinkled on the yellowed official road, making the ground appear a cold pale.

Jingzi and others were riding horses and pulling carriages and galloping all the way on the official road. Although the carriage was a little bumpy, no one complained, after all, now they are not only chasing the road, but also chasing life.

"Jing Gongzi, now that the grassland army is all marching to Jinling City, I don't know what the situation is on the other side of Jinling City." In the carriage, Guo Li said with some concern.

On this trip, he and Huang Budo were originally going to Jinling City to find the old King Huainan. I think that the old Huainan King also had the grace of reinvention for the two of them, and the two also worshipped him as a teacher, so the two of them still took the safety of the old Huainan King more seriously.

"Before, my junior brother had already expelled all the people of Sizhou County out of the city, and according to my guess, a large part of these people had already entered Jinling City." Jing Zizheng saw Guo Li's worries, so he was relieved.

"Even so, I'm still worried that after all, according to your inference, this time the grassland army went south because the imperial court planned to eliminate Zongzheng." When they were on the way, Jing Zizheng had already told Huang Budo and Guo Li all their speculations.

In this regard, Huang Budo agreed with Jing Zizheng and their speculation from the beginning, but Guo Li was always unwilling to believe it.

It wasn't until Jingzi was telling him about the bloody battle with the grassland army in Yuyang County that Guo Li had to believe it.

In fact, this is not to say that Guo Li is not smart enough to understand these things. The reason why he didn't believe it at first was because he couldn't accept this fact himself.

In his opinion, Emperor Shengheng doing such a thing is simply self-destructing the Great Wall, and as a monarch, this is the last mistake he should make.

But he forgot the importance of power to the emperor, and at the same time, he also forgot that the current power of Zongzheng Temple has begun to faintly threaten the imperial power.

"Your worries are actually right, according to reason, this time Emperor Shengheng has invested so much money in order to get rid of Zongzheng Temple, then he will definitely install an inside line in Jinling City, so that he can be foolproof." Jing Zizheng also thinks that Guo Li's worries are very reasonable.

"So I'm very worried about Jinling City now, I'm afraid it's completely messed up at the moment." Although the grassland army seemed to be frightened out of the city by the Shengwei army they pretended, whether it was Jing Zizheng or Guo Li, they all knew very well that the reason why the grassland army left from Sizhou County was not frightened by the name of the Shengwei army, and the reason was more because they already knew that Neiying on the side of Jinling City should have already started to act.

"Brother Guo, this time, you and Brother Huang went to Jinling City, in addition to protecting the old King Huainan, do you also want to participate in the defense of Jinling City?" Jingzizheng changed the topic and asked in order to alleviate Guo Li's worries.

"Although we have already withdrawn from the army, it is still the duty of our Dayu people to defend the country and defend the country, and this time the grassland army went south to attack Jinling City, which is really too deceitful, so Huang Budo and I have decided to join the guards of Jinling City on the spot." Guo Li said directly without thinking about it.

Keiko couldn't help but be a little silent after hearing this.

"I don't know what Gongzi Jing and your brothers think?" Guo Li saw through the cold moonlight outside the window that Jing Zizheng's facial muscles were trembling slightly, and he knew that Jing Zizheng must have some thoughts in his heart now.

"Humph! Our idea is very simple, in the final analysis, this matter is actually a family affair of the royal family, although it is with the help of the grassland power, but after all, this is still the will of Emperor Shengheng, so we do not participate. Keiko thought about it and said slowly.

He spoke slowly and firmly.

"Isn't Jing Gongzi considered for the people?" Guo Li was very surprised by Jing Zizheng's answer.

He didn't expect that Jing Zizheng, a person who could try his best to deal with the grassland army for the sake of an ordinary person, chose to stand by and watch when the grassland army attacked Jinling City.

"Brother Guo, don't use the people to kidnap us morally!" At this time, Qi Ning, who was sitting in the carriage, said with a sneer.

Guo Li couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that Jing Zizheng's idea might be just an exception in this group of people, after all, everyone is a Dayu person, and everyone will more or less have a heart to protect their family and defend the country when their country's cities are attacked by the grassland army.

However, Qi Ning's words made him understand that most of this group of people might not want to participate in the defensive battle of Jinling City this time.

"May I ask why you two are reluctant to help Jinling City defend?" Guo Li was very curious why Jing Zizheng and Qi Ning would choose to stand by and watch.

"It's very simple because they went through the same thing, but it turned out to be completely chilling for them." After being asked why, Jing Zizheng and Qi Ning were silent.

It's not that they are too embarrassed to say why, on the contrary, they are so cold that they don't want to talk about this sad past again.

However, Haiyin, who was sitting in the carriage, opened his mouth without any psychological burden.

"Same experience?"

"That's right, basically the same experience, and they did everything they could, even risking their lives to help defend the city, but the result was that the city was ruined, and those soldiers who died in battle almost became scapegoats for the imperial court." Although Hai Yin hadn't experienced all this, he had heard An Su carefully explain the whole process of the whole thing afterwards.

And in this regard, as the enemy, he also felt that Emperor Shengheng and the Dayu Imperial Court had done too much to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

"Did you join the guards of the northern frontier before?" When Guo Li heard this, he immediately thought of the fact that the three county towns in the northern border were captured by the grassland army.

"Yes, we were in Yuyang County at the time." Keiko calmed down for a moment and then replied.

"Yuyang County? Are you a member of the Pengzhou Army? When it comes to Yuyang County and then thinks of the so-called scapegoat that Hai Yin said just now, Guo Li immediately thought of Pengzhou Jun.

"The Pengzhou army has all been killed, and there is not a single deserter among them, we are not the Pengzhou army." When Jingzi heard Guo Li ask if he was a Pengzhou army, he immediately and solemnly affirmed that he was not a Pengzhou army.

"Everyone in Pengzhou is an iron-clad man, and every one of them is a role model for my Dayu people." Qi Ning also said righteously.

Guo Li immediately realized that he was indeed suspected of defiling the Pengzhou Army by asking such a question.

"I'm sorry, I just thought of the Pengzhou Army when I heard you talk about Yuyang County, and every one of them is indeed a good man who stands up to the sky." Guo Li said immediately.

"Although we are not the Pengzhou Army, we did fight with the Pengzhou Army at the beginning, and we also have relatives who are members of the Pengzhou Army." Although he was very reluctant to recall the painful past, Keiko still had to tell the story.

Because he knows that only by telling the story can the world know the greatness of the Pengzhou Army and let the Pengzhou Army live forever in people's hearts.

When Guo Li heard this, he immediately became solemn.

"What happened to Yuyang County at the beginning, and why did the Pengzhou army choose to die in the end?" Although Guo Li heard about Pengzhou Jun through some channels.

But for various reasons he had heard a variety of claims, but none of them seemed to him to be reliable at all.

At this time, Huang Budo, who was outside the carriage, also heard the conversation in the carriage. He was also very curious about it. So he got his horse and came to the carriage and listened carefully.

"This matter is very simple, and the fact that all the three county towns of Biansai were lost was actually expected by Emperor Shengheng from the beginning, and the Pengzhou army was the scapegoat chosen by Emperor Shengheng in order to cover up his plan······" Guo Li's inquiry seemed to ignite the anger in Qi Ning's chest all of a sudden, and she immediately told the original story.

When Guo Li and Huang Budo listened to Qi Ning's story, they all gasped. Originally, they just thought that the loss of the northern border fortress was a dereliction of duty on the part of the North Division and the military department, but now they realized that things were much more terrible than they imagined.

"According to you, the fundamental reason for the loss of the three county towns in the northern border is that Emperor Shengheng wants to use the hands of the grassland army to destroy the Zongzheng Temple?" Guo Li felt that his brain was a little insufficient at this time.

He tried to keep himself calm, but he still felt a buzzing in his ears.

And his brain seemed to be cut off from his body, and he felt like he was dizzy.

The impact of this news on him was too great.

"Damn it, I'll just tell you why the northern border fortress is so badly lost, it turns out that this is a conspiracy at all!" Huang Budo, who was riding a horse outside the carriage, also gritted his teeth angrily after listening to Qi Ning's story.

At this point, he also felt like something was blocked in his chest.

"That's right, we couldn't believe it at first, when my junior brother made this guess, we all thought he was crazy, but the facts proved step by step that what he said was completely true." Keiko said helplessly.
