Section 744: Qin Jiajun
When Qin Guyue was in the League, he said that Duan Jiuxiao's talent would lead an army in the future, but now it was said by the Prince of Wuye himself.
It must be known that if the prince of Wuye succeeds this time, he will be the next king of Tianzhou, and Chrysostom is not joking.
In other words, after the matter is completed, Duan Jiuxiao's status is likely to be a military marquis like the Marquis of Lanling, at least he is also a general of the first army, and it is definitely not like Qin Guyue's current military position of the third-grade deputy general Yulin who has no real power.
Duan Jiuxiao's face was full of joy, and he replied repeatedly: "I am willing to serve His Highness." ”
In the faint smile, the prince of Wuye raised his head, glanced at the night sky, and suddenly said: "The days of King Linxi must not be easy now!"
It can be said that the Prince of Nightless is half right.
In the big tent of King Linxi, which was far away from the military tent of Ying Tianjun, many of the generals present did not say a word, and almost all of them focused their eyes on the middle-aged man sitting in the center of the big tent.
But this person, who was noticed by the famous generals of the Quartet, leaned on the table with one hand, supported his head with his right hand, and his eyes were slightly wide, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.
If it weren't for the fact that his fingers still buckled the carved mahogany table from time to time, it would really make people think that he was asleep.
Compared with the indifference of King Linxi, the attitude of the generals is quite not calm.
They were talking to each other, as if trying to dispel the panic caused by the unfavorable situation of the battle.
Indeed, the current situation is really terrible.
The five people who were still sitting here last night were all famous generals who used to be on the Xuanhe side, and now three of them have become ghosts, and two of them may have defected to the enemy, and their lives and deaths are unknown until now, and the generals who went into battle today are all injured.
With a lack of 4,000 troops, it is even worse for the already unfavorable Linxi Wang army.
Finally, King Linxi opened his eyes, looked at the people in the big tent, and said sharply: "If anyone thinks that this king will lose, you can take your people away now!"
Hearing his words, almost all the generals who spoke were stunned.
There was even a stunned young man who actually asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go to that hairy boy...... King Linxi snorted coldly and said: "It's a few hundred steps away from the big tent, you should know the way!"
It's a joke that no one laughs out loud.
"Lord Wang, you are laughing...... a general next to him quickly pulled the corner of his stunned clothes and said with a smile.
"What I say is true, if you will not believe this king...... There is no suspense about this victory. King Linxi looked at the generals below and said coldly.
For a moment, the generals were dumbfounded.
"Okay......" King Linxi looked at the generals under his command and said, "Go back and pacify your soldiers, and the battle will turn around tomorrow......
Tomorrow?
The generals of the Linxi Wangjun also heard almost the same words last night, but in fact, when the Linxi Wangjun launched a surprise attack on the Prince of Wuye in the early morning, everyone was indeed enthusiastic, and the good news was repeated...... But it turned out that this was just a calculation by the Prince of the Nightless, and Yunjing City was just a bait, a bait to cover up the movements of the 100,000 Ying Heavenly Army.
The current Linxi Wang Army is like a beast that has stepped on a trap, in a dilemma.
Seeing that the generals did not speak, and the attitude of believing and skeptical, King Linxi raised his hand, waved it and said, "Let's retreat...... Strictly prevent fire candles, soldiers are not allowed to take off their armor for a long time!"
The so-called half-rest means that half of the soldiers can rest, half of them have to keep vigil, and they change shifts with sub-hours as the boundary, and the soldiers maintain a fighting state, and they are not allowed to take off their armor, and they can only sleep in their clothes.
It's not that you have to be prepared for a night attack or a night battle to give such an order.
To be precise, King Linxi was very cautious in his use of troops, and those who followed him knew that "the soldiers were half-resting, the people did not take off their armor, and the horses did not unsaddle", which had almost become his habit of leading troops.
When many generals retreated, it was still King Linxi and Qin Zhantian who stayed.
It can be said that now that the battle situation has reached such a situation, the pressure on Qin Zhantian's shoulders is no less than that of King Linxi.
Just as King Tonglinxi said on the first day, Qin Zhantian really felt very powerless now, as if he was doing something that seriously violated his heart, but he had to do something. Now he was in a state of anxiety and a kind of remorse that bordered on self-pity.
Originally, when Yasheng Chu Fengge published the "Social Commentary", he chose the side of King Linxi in line with the attitude of being responsible for Jiangshan Sheji, but the promise he promised was that after His Majesty Wulie was a thousand years old, he would support King Linxi instead of supporting Prince Wuye.
This was originally an almost empty promise, His Majesty Wu Lie's body is still very strong, and it is a sure thing to live for ten or twenty years, who knows what changes will occur at that time?
But King Linxi actually used such a means to directly tie Qin Zhantian to the chariot - assassinate His Majesty Wu Lie!
His Majesty Wu Lie and Qin Zhantian have always been friends with each other, it can be said that if it wasn't for Qin Zhantian who made the decision to support King Linxi, he would not have dared to make such a ruthless move, indirectly, it was Qin Zhantian who personally cut off His Majesty Wu Lie's life.
Although speaking of which, everyone has seen that it was Qin Zhantian who desperately rescued His Majesty Wu Lie and Prince Wuye from the alien space of the Human and Demon Palace, and he was a rare loyal minister with great courage - even if he had a different position from Prince Wuye, who knew that he was one of the driving forces behind this assassination?
His brows were tightly knit, and he almost unabashedly told King Linxi that he was in an ambivalent state of mind now.
So King Linxi took out a marching wine jug, gently threw it to Qin Zhantian and said, "Zhantian, if you're in a bad mood, just drink a few glasses!"
Qin Zhantian took the wine jug, only to see that this wine jug was not porcelain, nor leather, but made of iron...... Tianzhou is generally short of iron, but there are many iron ores in the Northern Army, which is a marching wine pot in the Northern Army.
"This is an old thing from the Battle of Haishan Pass......" Seeing Qin Zhantian staring at the marching wine jug in his hand in a daze, he said: "Back then, the Evil Soul Sect surrounded Haishan Pass with 300,000 people, and this king and you were still able to talk and laugh about the world with this pot of turbid wine, and plan to break the enemy, why are you so sullen today?"
Qin Zhantian heard that this was an artifact from the time of Haishan Pass, and couldn't help but raise his hand, pull up the cork, take a sip, smash his mouth, and said: "What a strong wine......
"Twenty years ago, the wine ......," King Linxi smiled. "Twenty years ago, you and I fought side by side to defeat a strong enemy and establish immortal feats, what is this today?"
Qin Zhantian naturally understood the original intention of King Linxi, and sighed: "This time and that time ......."
"If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the Qin family!" King Linxi saw that the emotional offensive didn't seem to have much effect on Qin Zhantian, and couldn't help but straighten his face slightly and said: "Think about it, if you lose, what will happen to the thousands of people up and down the Qin family?" Your son, who is the future son-in-law of this king, Qin Aofeng...... What is he going to do?"
"Proud Wind...... Aofeng ......" Qin Zhantian couldn't help but raise his hand when he mentioned this name, and poured a sip of strong wine, as if to extinguish the endless troubles in his chest.
King Linxi saw Qin Zhantian's reaction, he was a master of scheming, and naturally knew that he had poked Qin Zhantian's sore spot, looked at Qin Zhantian and said: "This king has also seen it, Aofeng, this kid is very similar to you, he should also be a person with a destiny, as long as he has the opportunity to cultivate well, he is at least a star-level powerhouse, but if the Qin family can't maintain his current state, how can he give him the best conditions to develop himself?"
However, King Linxi's words were exchanged for another sentence from Qin Zhantian.
"If the lonely moon is in ...... That's it!"
At this moment, what he thought of was his eldest son Qin Guyue, who was originally considered useless and unsuccessful.
"Zhan Tian ......" King Linxi was stunned for a moment, then moistened his throat, and persuaded: "Guyue Xian's nephew has been missing for almost two years, if he is still alive, there will definitely be news back, these years, this king has also asked people to collect clues about the virtuous nephew, but nothing has been found, you ...... You should mourn. ”
"No......" Qin Zhantian shook his head and said, "Gu Yue should still be alive, he can't die so easily!"
"But with our intelligence network, it is impossible to be alone for more than two years without the slightest message!" King Linxi deliberately raised his voice and said to Qin Zhantian: "Zhantian, you shouldn't think about the eldest son who has not been heard from for many years now, but how to protect your second son with outstanding talent and such a big Qin family behind you!"
Qin Zhantian was silent.
King Linxi smiled, took out an identical military wine jug from his sleeve, compared it to Qin Zhantian, uncovered the bottle cap, took a sip of it, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, this king hopes that you will be able to make a move!"
"With the strength of a half-step Xinghao, to kill an ordinary Yingtian Army soldier?" Qin Zhantian muttered to himself.
"Success or failure, since ancient times, it has been a king and a loser......" King Linxi heard Qin Zhantian's words, and couldn't help but say: "This point, you and I are very clear, soldiers, treacherous, no one will deliberately lose to the other party because the opponent abides by the rules, all we need is victory, victory after victory!"
Qin Zhantian heard King Linxi's words, but shook his head.
"This is not in line with my true heart...... Qin Zhantian shook his head and sighed: "If I do this, my strength may regress, and it may even affect my future cultivation, reaching a situation like mine, if I go against my heart and do things that go against the peace of heaven, I am afraid that I will be punished by heaven." ”
"Heavenly Damnation?" King Linxi sneered and said: "Sect Master of the Evil Soul Sect, I don't know how many innocent people I have slaughtered in my Holy Dynasty to cultivate demonic skills, and I don't see what Heavenly Punishment has happened to him, now I am afraid that he is one step earlier than you, and he is already in the Xinghao realm, what are you doing this cocooning for?"
