Chapter 269: The Food That Comes to You
The day will break.
In front of the Northern Zhou military camp, two uninvited guests came.
Xue Bao and Xue Pipi, one black and one white, stood a hundred feet away from the barracks, looked at the barracks not far away, and stopped.
Poison Saint Xue Pipi said, "Healers, cure diseases and save people." If you go on a killing spree, aren't you afraid that you will fall into the devil's path like me?"
The corners of Xue Bao's mouth showed a look of disdain, and he said slowly, "Back then, the Yellow River burst its banks and the plague was rampant, and I saved tens of thousands of people in Henan Mansion in March, and I didn't ascend to immortality. Nowadays, the two armies are at war, and killing people is saving people. What's more, killing 10,000 people can save 100,000 people in Yinyang, and this account is very cost-effective. ”
Xue Pipi said, "Even so, do you really think that if you do something to kill, those people in the Hidden Sun will think of you?"
Xue Bao shook his head, "I killed people, not for the people of Yinyang, but for the sake of this world." This world, sick. ”
This sentence made Sheppip a little baffled.
Xue Bao looked at the mountain in the south, and then said, "Whether it is the Northern Zhou Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, this world is slowly sliding into the abyss, if it is really as Lu Xuanji expected back then, the way of heaven is coming, coming to the world, these people will die sooner or later, I can't sit idly by, I should return the favor of Yuwen Tianlu." ”
Sheppipe asked, "Do you really think his method works?"
"Someone has to do it or not, right?"
Xue Pipi looked at this brother of the same clan, a little incomprehensible to him, for a medical saint authenticity, the two have been fighting for most of their lives, what he thinks about all the time is how to beat Xue Bao, who expected Xue Bao's thoughts, but it is far more than that. I had to sigh, "When it comes to killing, maybe you are not as good as me, but if you pretend to be forced, I can't reach it." ”
Whoosh!
Two sharp arrows were shot at their feet. A team of Northern Zhou sentinels found two figures.
The leader shouted, "Who is the one who broke into the camp at night?"
Sheppi said, "The living." ”
Where there are the living, there are the dead. The Doctor and the Poison Saint are living people, so that group of sentinels becomes dead.
Xue Bao and Xue Pipi walked side by side, like ghosts in the night, passing side by side in the camp of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
It's getting dark.
Xue Pipi glanced back at the Northern Zhou camp, someone had already noticed something strange in the barracks, and began to make a mess, Xue Pipi asked, "It's quite lively in the back, don't you look back?"
Xue Bao still continued to move forward, and said, "Killing people is not saving people, what is there to see?" After that, he left the city with the medicine box on his back.
Xue Pipi smiled bitterly and followed.
In the battle of Yinyang, the siege of the city by 100,000 troops of Tuoba Niuren, although it was not a must-win situation, but it also occupied an absolute certainty, and in an inconspicuous early morning, 20,000 Northern Zhou troops died inexplicably, becoming an unsolved mystery in this war.
Some people say that it was the Northern Zhou army that offended the gods and led to the punishment of the heavenly generals, but there is a more theory that the city lord of Yinyang, Zhao Lanjiang, knew how to demons, turned into ghosts in the middle of the night, and took the lives of these people.
No one knew that a few months ago, the Metropolitan Governor Yuwen Tianlu found Xue Bao and Xue Pipi and locked them up in a dry well for three days and three nights.
......
Zhao Lanjiang dragged his tired body back to the City Lord's Mansion, and when he woke up, it was already noon. Hearing bursts of cheers outside, it didn't take long for Li Xianzhong to push the door in.

"The Northern Zhou has withdrawn!"
Zhao Lanjiang felt strange, "Withdraw the troops?"
"Today, our spies caught a Northern Zhou Tong soldier and intercepted a letter from the regent of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Tuoba Niuren, which said that Xue Huai, the king of Dingbei, occupied Shenxian Ditch, and the southern line of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was lost, and the Tuoba Niu people were asked to return to Beijing as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Lanjiang was determined.
Yuwen Tianlu sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to conquer the west, planned a shocking situation, and used himself as a bait to transfer the Tuoba cattle to Hengduan Mountain, all of which was as Yuwen Tianlu expected.
And what Zhao Lanjiang has to do is to defend Yinyang City, drag the Tuoba Niuren, and buy time for the king of Dingbei on the northern line.
Li Xianzhong said, "We also got the news that last night, 20,000 troops in the Northern Zhou military camp died inexplicably, which may also be one of the reasons for the withdrawal of the Tuoba Niu people." ”
Zhao Lanjiang and Li Xianzhong came to the top of the city.
Five miles away, the Northern Zhou army began to pull out the village, at the front, there were 20,000 soldiers and horses lined up to prepare for battle, to prevent the sneak attack of the soldiers and horses of Yinyang City, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were being evacuated in an orderly manner. Tuoba cattle people are well versed in the way of war, and will never make mistakes at such moments.
Li Yuanhu, one of the four commanders, took the initiative to ask for battle, "City Lord, the Northern Zhou Dynasty withdraws the army, and the last general is willing to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to go out of the city to pursue!"
Zhao said, "Wait." ”
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Zhao Lanjiang still disagreed, "As long as we hold Yinyang City, we will be the victors in this battle." ”
Li Yuanhu said angrily, "Six thousand brothers outside the city, their bones are not cold, don't they have to avenge their revenge?"
Li Yuanhu's two cousins, who had previously been captured by the Northern Zhou army, had died under the city walls a few days earlier. In the past few days, Li Yuanhu has been emotionally unstable and bent on going out of the city to kill the enemy.
Chai Gongwang, the chief of staff on the side, didn't think so, and said, "20,000 people died in the Northern Zhou camp outside the city last night, isn't this revenge?"
Chai Gongwang was the chief of staff before, and after he appeared with a few wild men last night, Zhao Lanjiang did not express any objections, and with his face, he consciously took on the position of chief of staff again.
Li Yuanhu couldn't get used to him, "What kind of revenge is this?"
Chai Gongwang glanced at Zhao Lanjiang, and a sycophant hurriedly sent it, "Last night, the city lord of Zhao was powerful and killed 20,000 Northern Zhou troops, doesn't Commander Li know?"
Zhao Lanjiang was a little embarrassed, "I've been sleeping since I came back last night. ”
Chai Gongwang said again, "This is the power of the city lord, I heard that the 20,000 Northern Zhou soldiers died very peacefully, it must be the city lord of Zhao who took away the souls of these people in his sleep last night." ”
Li Yuanhu sneered, "Sycophant!"
Chai Gongwang felt that it was an opportunity, Hidden Yang City needed a hero, he needed a new master to display his talents, and said: "Now that the morale in the city is low, if this matter spreads throughout the city, the prestige of the city lord will definitely reach a higher level!"
Li Xianzhong reminded, "Last night, the two seniors of the Medical Saint and Poison Saint appeared in Hidden Yang City, if nothing else, it should be the handiwork of the two. ”
"They didn't come back, anyway, no one knows who did it, it was Zhao Cheng's main doing. ”
"Don't forget, when they spoke, the same Lang Zhong you found last night was there. ”
Chai Gongwang smiled, "They take my money to do things, and they will definitely not go out and talk nonsense." ”
Zhao Lanjiang said, "Nonsense." ”
Chai Gongwang bowed to the end, "Obey the order! With that, he ran down the castle tower and went to his team, ready to hype up the matter.

In the Northern Zhou camp, the last group of soldiers began to retreat.
As the commander of the troops, among the last group of Tuoba Niuren, the handsome flag is particularly dazzling. Before leaving, the Tuoba cattle rode their horses to the city.
Everyone was about to shoot arrows, but Zhao Lanjiang waved his hand to stop them. Tuoba Niuren is the god of war in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and with his cultivation, these archers can't help him at all.
Tuoba Niu said, "City Lord Zhao, let's get acquainted with each other, why don't you go out of the city, drink a glass of water and wine, and say goodbye?"
Zhao Lanjiang laughed, "Marshal Tuoba is really interested, 20,000 brothers died last night, and I am still in the mood to drink today, if it were me, I would have already committed suicide by jumping into the river." ”
Tuoba Niuren disagreed, "People can't be resurrected after death, I don't drink, they are also dead, I drink, they still die, since the ending can't be changed, why don't you have a drink? ”
Zhao Lanjiang had already guessed his thoughts, shook his head with a smile, and said: "I won't give you this opportunity, you are known as the undefeated god of war, after this battle, this undefeated title, I'm afraid it will have to be changed." It won't be long before the whole world, the entire rivers and lakes, will know that your Tuoba Niu people have been defeated by Zhao Lanjiang. ”
This sentence poked at the pain point of the Tuoba cattle people.
If he loses to Yuwen Tianlu, Tuoba Niuren can still be reasonable, but if he loses to Zhao Lanjiang, how will he mix up in the future?
A person as good as him should have lived a brilliant life.
Who would have expected that a lifetime of fame would be ruined.
Tuoba Niuren understood that since the moment he left Shenxian Gou and came to Hengduan Mountain, Northern Zhou had fallen into the trap of Yuwen Tianlu.
He was unwilling, but the imperial court order had been issued, and he wanted to take this opportunity to provoke Zhao Lanjiang, with his understanding of Zhao Lanjiang's fiery temper, he would inevitably not be able to withstand the stimulation, and at that time, he would still have a chance to fight.
Kill Zhao Lanjiang, even if you withdraw your troops, you have to leave with dignity.
Tuoba Niu said, "It was Lao Tzu who took the initiative to withdraw his troops, and it wasn't you who won, what is there to brag about?"
"The reason doesn't matter, we look at the results, if you retreat, you will lose. ”
Tuoba Niuren was a little indignant, unconvinced, and scolded: "Lao Tzu killed tens of thousands of you, but you are like the turtle surnamed Xue, hiding in the city and not daring to come out, and you are not afraid of the world's jokes!"
Having said that, it was the shrunken turtle in his mouth that now led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Phoenix Ridge and occupy Shenxian Gully. Fortunately, it is autumn now, and the cold season is approaching, and the Dingbei army does not dare to rush north, otherwise, Xue Huai has already led the army to break through.
Zhao Lanjiang turned over and jumped, sat on top of a battlement, found a more comfortable position to sit down, and said, "You continue, you have the ability to scold for three days and three nights." ”
Li Xianzhong leaned into Zhao Lanjiang's ear and said, "He is delaying time, and the spies have reported that the Northern Zhou army has retreated to the Broken Head Slope and is about to cross the Chishui." ”
After crossing Chishui, they could return to the first line of heaven, and within three days, they could withdraw to the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Tuoba Niuren did this, seemingly venting their personal anger, but in fact, it was really painstaking to retain the strength of the Northern Zhou army. "If you have the ability, you come down, Lao Tzu will fight with you for three days and three nights. ”
It was already half an hour, Zhao Lanjiang was hungry in his stomach, and a subordinate sent a chicken leg, Zhao Lanjiang took a bite and said with a smile: "I heard that you like to eat chicken legs, and the chickens within a radius of dozens of miles have been cleaned by you?"
"So what?"
"I've been scolding for a long time, and now I'm hungry, right?" Zhao Lanjiang threw the chicken leg into the city, "Wow, come and eat!"
