There is a Qingli River in the Wuli Mountains, which has an abundant source of water, and flash floods erupt every time it rains. At this moment, under a mountain stream and waterfall, Luo Chong soaked in the clear pool water and closed his eyes to recuperate, and a biochemical warrior with a height of more than two meters stood next to him as a servant, serving him tea and wine.

This biochemical warrior's name is Duan Hongli, who was once the leader of the Wind Driving Horse Thieves, and earlier, he was a member of the Xia Dynasty and a four-rank military general, who was persecuted by traitors and almost died, so he changed his name and surname to Luocao for Kou.

Although he was a horse thief, his patriotic spirit was not extinguished, and he no longer committed crimes within his own country, but specialized in cross-border crimes, harming the Tang and Song dynasties. He believes that this is a disguised killing of the enemy, and no matter how many people are killed, it is not called cruelty.

From the point of view of the #11 person, this idea must be quite extreme, but the Tang and Song Dynasty realms are life farms under the belief of demon gods, not to mention the people in the military, even many ordinary people take killing people seriously

This can also be reflected in the laws of the state, such as "there is a burglar, the master is not guilty of killing", "there are robbers in the street, passers-by kill them, they are not guilty, the government praises, and so on."

Farms encourage breeding and slaughter. After thousands of years of ideological education, it is no wonder that the people's customs are not strong.

This mountain stream is less than ten miles away from Helin Fort, separated by a few hills, and vaguely, it seems that you can hear the sound of the sofa attacking the fort on that side.

At this moment, seeing that Luo Chong opened his eyes, Duan Hongli dared to speak to his master, so he asked in a low voice, "Master, don't you care about the vanguard army?"

As a demonic servant, he, a former patriotic horse thief, has long since rebelled, or rather, his original soul state has changed beyond recognition. As soon as the master gave an order, even if he was his own son, he would be cut alive with a knife, but his mind and reason were quite sober.

This is the terrible thing about demons, playing with hearts and enslaving souls.

It's just that Luo Chong is not so ruthless as to let a slave kill his relatives with his own hands, this kind of practice is too vicious and cruel to the extreme.

"Leave Him Alone"

Luo Chong raised his hand to take the big cigar that Duan Hongli sent to him, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "If the vanguard army is too miserable, I am worried that He Wanli will be frightened to stop, at this stage, I don't want to go to the Xia Dynasty to fight." ”

"Master, I once served under He Wanli, and I know him well. ”

What did Duan Hongli say, out of the most thorough loyalty, he would not be afraid of being reprimanded by his master for telling the truth: "I think that even if the vanguard army is completely annihilated, He Wanli will not retreat, and the spirit of the Zhenxi Army will move forward bravely and never give up." ”

"It's fine. ”

Luo Chong waved his hand: "Anyway, Na Herin Fort has nothing to do with me, if you lose it, you will lose it, it will not hurt." It's better to wait until the Zhenxi Army arrives in Dengzhou City, let's catch it all again. The main thing is that this is how we can maximize the merits we have created. ”

"Why does the master value the merits recognized by the Song Dynasty so much?"

Duan Hongli couldn't figure this out, and he didn't even know what the master of Lu Dao chose to help the Song Dynasty instead of the Xia Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

Although the biochemical warriors are the most trusted slaves, since they have just been transformed, they have never had the opportunity to communicate with Luo Chong alone like this at this moment. Therefore, for Luo Chong's conquest plan, the biochemical warriors are all ignorant of the way.

They have wisdom and thoughts, and naturally they maintain the most instinctive curiosity of the world's creatures.

"Don't talk about the Song Dynasty. ”

Luo Chong would not be angry because of the curiosity of his subordinates, so he patiently explained: "Conquering the Three Kingdoms and conquering the heavens and the earth is something I must do, but at the same time, it is also a game that I enjoy." The game, everyone's interest is bound to be different, as far as my personal interests, I want to experience a civilian, a general, a general, the power of the government and the opposition, proud of the crowd, until the process of conquering the world. It's just the process that's fun, and it's just the result, and how interesting it can be. ”

"Got it......"

Duan Hongli nodded and said: "The master's plan is to first repel the Xia army, go to the capital of the Song Dynasty with merit, help the three princes on the dragon chair, and then sweep the world with the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, right?"

"Generalissimo?"

Luo Chong smiled at Ha Luha: "That's okay, okay, after getting rid of the Zhenxi Army, I will go to the capital of the Song Dynasty to clean up the gang of traitors, and by the way, I will drag the faint monarch off the dragon chair...... Hongli, do you find this game interesting?

"Fun is fun, but this kind of game is only the owner can afford to play. ”

Duan Hongli sighed in a low voice: "In my previous thinking, in any of these links, there may be a catastrophe of killing heads and exterminating the clan, which is simply risking everyone's net worth." These things must be trembling and cautious when they are pressed on anyone's head, and they dare not make the slightest mistake until today, and all this is just a game in the eyes of the master. ”

"Is this a compliment, or an accusal?"

Luo Chong turned his head and squinted at him.

Although they are slaves, Luo Chong allows them to say anything in front of him, otherwise, they will become a group of emotionless robots who are forbidden by order.

"It's not a compliment, it's not an accusation, it's just emotion. ”

Duan Hongli's swarthy and vicious face showed a smile, although it was ugly, it was full of sincerity: "There is no doubt that following the master's side will definitely be extremely wonderful in the future." ”

"Try this cigar. ”

Luo Chong handed him the cigar, turned his head and slowly sank into the water: "The taste is also wonderful, you must not have experienced it." ”

Duan Hongli took the cigar, took a deep breath following the master's movements, and was almost choked, but fortunately, the biochemical warrior had inhuman resistance, and he held it back.

What's so good about it?

It seems that you have to take your time to appreciate it.

There was no such thing as tobacco in the Tang and Song dynasties, and it was indeed the first time that he, the leader of the horse thieves, had tasted this kind of taste that it was unclear whether it was good or bad......

In less than an hour, the Zhenxi Pioneer Army also took Helinbao, but the ironclad heavy cavalry did not appear, and the division Luoyin couldn't say whether it should be happy or disappointed, but at least, the first task of the vanguard army was completed.

Leaving 300 people to guard the Song army in the fort, Shi Luoyin led the army to continue to go deeper, if there is no accident, it will appear under the city of Dengzhou one day earlier than He Dashuai.

All the way out, although carefully guarding against the heavy cavalry, they still arrived at Dengzhou City smoothly. Five miles away from the northern city wall, Shi Luoyin ordered to set up camp, and did not intend to attack the city, but sent a large number of sentinels, striving to explore the radius of Dengzhou City for dozens of miles before the arrival of the army tomorrow.

In Dengzhou City, Governor Chen, Deng Hai and others once again stood on the city wall worriedly, accompanied by those low-strength garrison battalion sergeants, less than two thousand people, even if they were just defending the northern city wall, they were a little dissatisfied.

This time to defend the city, even the young and strong people in the city, Governor Chen was too lazy to mobilize, anyway, he didn't have the determination to die in the city, he had already made up his mind, if the situation was not good, then abandon the city and flee, if he couldn't escape, he could only surrender.

"General Deng, it seems that the Zhenxi Vanguard Army has not been intercepted by General Luo. ”

Governor Chen whispered: "Will General Luo have already withdrawn?" I think we must also make plans in advance, if we wait until tomorrow, the city will be besieged, and we will not be able to leave if we want to." ”

"Won't"

Deng Hai's eyes were complicated, but he still shook his head vigorously: "General Luo is definitely not the kind of despicable villain who harms others and is not beneficial to himself, if he wants to leave, he can tell the truth, there is no need to lie to us." Anyway, he doesn't have the duty to guard Dengzhou City, as long as he doesn't leave the first line of the North Road, any reason for suppressing bandits can explain the past, and there is no need for us to carry any black pot. ”

"That's just as well. ”

Governor Chen first nodded, and then shook his head: "But even so, it's quite risky to bet all the bets on him." ”

"Lord Chen, you and I can't afford to flee without a fight, and if you don't want to be killed, you can only stay

Deng Hai said with a serious expression: "If you flee without a fight, you will definitely die in the future, even if General Luo can't create a miracle, we surrender to the Zhenxi Army, but we will not necessarily die." You say, is that so?

"Surrender, ......"

Governor Chen's face was bitter, once he became a subordinate, he didn't know how to go in the future.

"Lord Chen, General Naluo once vaguely revealed to me that this war can no longer be a small fight, and it may develop into a war to destroy the country, and the opponent of our dynasty is not a single Xia Dynasty......

Deng Hai whispered in Governor Chen's ear: "If someone who can turn the tide does not appear, my dynasty will definitely not be protected." This minister of the dead country will be decided if he doesn't do it well. ”

"What do you mean......"

Governor Chen took a deep breath and tried his best to restrain the trembling of his body: "General Luo is the one who turned the tide."

"If he hadn't, I can't imagine anyone else would. ”

Deng Hai clenched his fists and hammered the wall, as if he had made up his mind: "I am not a person who understands, but I know that General Luo must be the one who understands, and I still have this vision." I just need to follow him, he asked me to escape, I escaped, he asked me to stay, I stayed anyway, this is not the first time I have gambled my life. ”

"I am"

Governor Chen sighed secretly: "In the past, I was only gambling on the future, and it was the first time to gamble with my life." ”

There is no way, if Deng Hai doesn't leave, he will escape from the city with his family as a Wenchen, and he will definitely be discovered and intercepted by the sentinels of the Zhenxi Vanguard Army, and he will be taken prisoner.

Governor Chen thought well, and the division of the vanguard army sent at least a thousand sentinels and search teams, which served three purposes: one was to investigate the surrounding situation, the second was to intercept the heralds and important people coming out of the city, and the third was to find out all the information related to the heavy cavalry.

In contrast, Shi Luoyin paid more attention to the third item, because he was basically sure that the resistance that the Dengzhou garrison battalion could organize was very small, and the only thing that could make people worry was the ironclad heavy cavalry

Shi Luoyin hopes to find out the news about them through the mouths of the surrounding farmers: where do they come from, where are they usually stationed, and where are they hiding now?
