Chapter 18: The Mist
Guan Cheng put his hands behind his back, the crown on his head was respectfully held in his hands by Wu Chengju, his wide sleeved robe hung down on his legs, and his eyes were deep and brisk.
"Sometimes I don't know if it's better to die alone, or if this Datong world shouldn't be extinct, or if Datong has blocked all the merits of the alien race for hundreds of years to repay future generations?"
Wu Chengju didn't know what Guan Cheng meant, but everyone in a position of power also acquiesced in these things in their hearts, and the reason why the aliens outside the Saiwai were so enthusiastic about you was just because of the blood-stained sword in the hands of the tiger wolf of Datong.
On the grassland, there is no boundless, and countless chariots have trampled on many royal courts to have peace in the hinterland of the Central Plains for a hundred years, and the price paid for this is the lives of more than 300,000 heroic souls and dozens of Datong princes.
However, since the princes were strong, there was no longer a large army far out of the outside of the Saiwai, and the northernmost Qiang Zhao heard that in recent years, he had been very close to the people outside the Saiwai, and had been recognized and supported by many tribes.
Guan Cheng's voice floated in Wu Chengju's thoughts: "Over the years, there has been a voice in Lone's head telling Lone what to do, what is right, and what is the most basic essence. ”
Guan Cheng's hand pointed lightly and said, "Look, isn't this it?" ”
"Neglected forces are always the most terrifying!"
"Even the mountains and the Yangtze River are unstoppable."
The sound of laughter in the hustle and bustle gradually overshadowed the panic and apprehension.
The children soon regained their playful nature after they had eaten enough, chasing in groups, and the dense military tents in the barracks became their best playground, and the adults were long overdue for scolding, except for a few unlucky ones who were caught on the buttocks and snapped a few times.
Guan Cheng couldn't help but smile.
"Unconsciously, Gu has said so much, one day Gu will come back here, and at that time, these people will remember today."
"General Wu."
"The minister is here."
"Do you believe that day?"
Wu Chengju smiled and said: "Your Highness said yes, then you can, the minister will always follow this Highness!" ”
Guan Cheng chuckled.
Hearing that the news came from all over the country, the common people were still rushing towards the place of hope, and gradually gathered on the main road, and the countryside, which was originally depressed by the war, once again showed his due popularity.
But this situation was also quickly discovered by the Golden Soldier scouts.
In the evening, Lin Zhiming, who was more than sixty miles away, looked pensive.
Unlike Ruan Jin's kind of waste who is afraid of death, Lin Zhiming is a real meritorious general, in this era of shame of the word, Lin Zhiming is definitely the existence of the glorious ancestors, and he has experienced countless battles of life and death before climbing to the position of captain.
At present, the scuffle between the three kingdoms, it stands to reason that the common people have long run out, how can there be so many suddenly?
Lin Zhiming hadn't read much of the book, so he didn't know that there must be a demon when things went wrong, but he instinctively felt that there must be changes in it.
And it's not a small thing.
The scout has been scattered, and there is no news for the time being, but for a qualified general, judgment is also very important, what the scout brings is more of a reference, what the eyes see is not necessarily true, and it may also be a maze deliberately laid by the enemy.
The soldiers in Lin Zhiming's camp beat the torches, and today the wind blew the torches.
After a tiring day, the soldiers sat around the fire eating dry food, and boasted about the day's harvest with water bags and robes in one hand.
Even the wounded soldiers were full of arms.
Yan Tao's reliance on Lin Zhiming is undisguised, and the most ruthless battles are also the most ruthless wealth, and the losses of Lin Zhiming's subordinates in the previous battle have reached more than thirty percent, if it were not for the merciless killing of more than a dozen people by the supervising team at the critical moment, the C-shaped brigade is likely to be defeated under the huge casualties.
After the war, Yan Tao deliberately handed over Guangyang County, the richest county in Peng State, to him in order to make up for this elite, for which Ruan Jin was really red all day.
At this time, Lin Zhiming's camp was at the junction of Guangyang County and Jia County, less than 70 miles away from Hewei County, where Guan Cheng and others were located.
Lin Zhiming didn't think about whether something had happened to Miss Ruan in the west, but after thinking about it, what could happen if Yan Tao himself followed with his personal guards, and the armies of Peng Shu and Shu could not do anything but hold on now.
The sound of the chariot galloping came to his ears, and Lin Zhiming walked out of the account, and he instinctively felt that the matter was very important.
The scout jumped down out of breath, ran to Lin Zhiming's side and began to bite his ears.
Lin Zhiming's eyes were instantly filled with disbelief.
He grabbed the scout by the collar and dragged him into the big tent, and only after confirming that there was no one around him did he shout and ask: "It is a capital crime for the kid to pass on fake military information, and the captain of this school can kill you now!" ”
The scout's eyes were full of horror, and he shook his head vigorously, and his voice was full of crying: "Lord Captain, you don't dare to lie even if you give 10,000 little cowards!" This news is absolutely true, it is seen with his own eyes, and there will be absolutely no falsehood. ”
Lin Zhiming stared at it for a long time before he dared to make sure that the scout was not lying, threw it on the ground and said, "Say what you saw again, and don't hide a word." ”
"Yes, yes, the little one will tell the truth."
"Tell me!"
The scout was frightened and hurriedly said: "So that the captain knows that the little one followed the direction of those homeless people all the way to the horse, and when he walked more than forty miles, the number of homeless people became more numerous, and there were three or four thousand people walking together, and when they saw the small ones, they were all frightened and ran around, and the little ones were afraid of the snakes, so they hid the carriage in the woods and left a brother to guard, and then the little ones also changed into a kudzu coat to chase after them again." ”
"I walked more than 20 miles, and I followed the homeless people and saw a big camp, where there were 10,000 homeless people, from the big camp to the outside of the big camp, and I saw them carrying a bag of fine out, but there were soldiers on duty at the door who couldn't get in."
Lin Zhiming raised his hand to interrupt the scout's words and asked, "Are those soldiers wearing the armor of Peng or Shu or my Jin country?" ”
The scout thought for a moment before saying, "No, the Jin Ziwang banner they played is a soldier from Zhili County." ”
"Zhili County?" Lin Zhiming's eyebrows were twisted together, very incomprehensible, "Did you see clearly?" ”
The scout hurriedly nodded and said: "It's really not Peng Shu's armor, the little one has been to Zhili County twice, and he still has a little impression that he should be a soldier of Zhili County." ”
Lin Zhiming pressed the doubt in his heart and said in a deep voice: "You continue." ”
"Yes."
"The small one later got mixed in while someone was in trouble, but there were a lot of my Dajin's banner armor in the camp, and some brothers were captured and imprisoned, and the small one secretly found a person to know, it turned out that this King of Jin was the original crown prince Guan Cheng, but I don't know why the emperor took the crown prince and demoted him to the King of Jin, I heard that the fief is thousands of miles away from here, as if it needs to pass through some Shu country or something."
"The little one asked what was going on here, and the brothers all said that General Yan had taken a fancy to King Jin's jewels and snatched them over, and then King Jin was not convinced, and that night he raided the camp and caught General Yan off guard, and I heard that even Captain Ling and Captain Ruan were killed."
"What about Zuo Sima?" Lin Zhiming asked anxiously.
"Zuo Sima should be fine, the little one asked several people, some said that Zuo Sima was killed by the enemy, but some said that Zuo Sima took advantage of the chaos to escape, and he didn't find Zuo Sima in the camp."
Lin Zhiming nodded, and said, "If there is no news, then it should be fine." ”
"Left and right!" Lin Zhiming called out of the tent and quickly walked into the two soldiers.
"In the herald scouts, scatter everyone out, and find Zuo Sima and reward 100 gold."
"You go on and say, have you found anything else, the enemy's strength, disposition, etc."
"There are probably more than 700 armored soldiers in the battalion, the crossbowmen don't see much, and there are more than 30 chariots, but most of them are captured by us, and there are hundreds of large carts, and the other small ones have not been able to be probed out."
"Have you explored within a radius of ten miles?"
The scout was a little panicked and said, "Back to the captain, no." ”
Lin Zhiming waved his hand a little impatiently and said, "That's it, time is urgent, and I don't think there will be many enemy troops." ”
"You go by car early tomorrow morning, and you must find out if the enemy has reinforcements, and the captain will follow with the army."
Soon the scouts retreated, and silence returned to the military tent, but Lin Zhiming felt an unprecedented boredom.
The King of Jin who suddenly appeared, the defeated main general, and the civilians gathered from all directions, what is behind this heavy and heavy?
He was not even sure of the strength of the enemy army now, and his eyes were blackened.
The scout told him that there were only a few hundred enemy troops, but experience had told him that hundreds would not have such courage.
