Chapter 282: Stealing Half a Day's Peace
In the council chamber of the City Lord's Mansion, the generals of the three parties sat opposite each other. Faintly, Ah Ning and Bai Zimo are one faction, and Bai Wuyang sits down alone.
Although Bai Wuyang led 10,000 horses and was a generation older than the two, he was only the temporary acting general after all, and there was a gap between the new army and the left and right armies.
Not to mention anything else, the existence of the new army has taken up the weapons and materials of the left and right armies, and when there were wars some time ago, there were some problems due to the shortage of food and weapons.
"Our spies have reported that Chen Guo has also supported 10,000 troops, and now that we have the same military strength, this cold city should be fine. Bai Wuyang spoke, he was also taken aback when he first came to Cold City.
There were bones waiting to be burned everywhere, ashes were scattered all over the city, and some of the recruits fainted on the spot.
"General Bai's words are wrong, war is not a simple problem of a small number of people, in terms of military strength alone, we have a cold city to defend, although the military strength is about 20,000, we have the advantage. "Ah Ning also knows that Bai Wuyang, a member of the Bai clan, has always been the commander of the army, and has always guarded Bai Capital and Wangcheng.
In general, although the position is not low, there is not much experience in war.
"It's just that we now need to face a difficult problem that cannot be solved by a small number of people. Ah Ning still has some words to say, that is, most of the troops and horses transferred by Chen Guo are well-trained soldiers, and the new army is just hastily established. There was only the original 2,000 troops with combat effectiveness.
"What's the problem? When I came, the king said that everything is subject to General Xu's orders, so we might as well say it and let's discuss it. Bai Wuyang's words were sincere, and he couldn't wait to go into battle immediately to make meritorious contributions.
Bai Zimo looked at Bai Wuyang coldly, he was so energetic just to wait for the position of the chief general of the new army to be completely secured after the war. As long as he has military exploits, Bai Boxian can justifiably support Bai Wuyang to take the position.
Bai Zimo was not worth Bai Yingwu, he desperately defended the cold city, but in exchange for suspicion.
Bai Wuyang's attitude is Bai Boxian's attitude, they treat Bai Yingwu as a big stone pressed against their mouths, even if he is dead, they must completely cross out the left army to feel at ease.
The national strength of the White State can only maintain two large armies, and the new army was established during the war, and the establishment of the new army will definitely be retained after the war and the position of the chief general of Bai Wuyang will be determined.
Now that the Left Army has been disabled and Bai Yingwu has been killed, the Left Army and Bai Zimo have been completely marginalized.
"Chen Meng, the general of the Chen Kingdom, is a realm qi refiner. Compared with the problem of the combat effectiveness of the new army, Ah Ning is more worried about Chen Meng.
"He's just one person, can he still break through my 10,000-strong army formation?" Bai Wuyang was noncommittal, if the Qi Refiner could be an enemy country alone, then what else would the army do?
"Chen Meng just hand it over to me. Bai Zimo left directly after speaking, he didn't want to see Bai Wuyang.
If it weren't for his father who had been in front of Chen Meng, Chen Meng would have broken through the cold city and entered the White Capital.
It is true that the Qi Refiner of the Realm cannot defeat ten thousand with one person, but he can plunge into his own military formation like a sharp knife.
A general who was not brave enough to rush in the middle of the enemy line wounded his morale
Bai Wuyang had never seen how great the harm was, and besides, Chen Meng was not alone.
"Hey, young general......" Bai Wuyang made a gesture to stop, and when he saw that Bai Zimo had made up his mind, he put down his outstretched hand.
Although Bai Wuyang was not angry in his heart, he covered it up very well, he was also a disciple of the Bai family, and his status with Bai Zimo was not comparable.
No matter how you say it, Bai Zimo is the grandson of the first king, and he is just a relative. However, without the Zuo Army in the future, he Bai Zimo is just a royal child with a respected status.
Bai Zimo went out of the City Lord's Mansion and had nowhere to vent his resentment, and before the cold city was defended, he was going to intrigue with Bai Wuyang there.
Well, now Baek Baek-hyun got his wish, and many people got his wish, because his father died in battle.
"Go have a drink?" Bai Zimo turned to see You leaning against the pillar in the courtyard, although they all called him a ghost general now, but after all, there was no official paperwork, and You could not participate in the military meetings within Bai Guo.
But You didn't care, he didn't come to help Bai Guo fight.
"Where did you get the money for wine?" Bai Zimo asked subconsciously, You's food and clothing came from the military camp, and there was no military salary to pay him.
"Please. You walked over and stretched out his hand to put his hand on Bai Zimo's shoulder, and pulled him outside.
"Heh!" Bai Zimo laughed angrily, but he didn't refuse, he knew that it was especially kind, and he really needed to distract himself.
There were still some residents of the cold city, many of whom died that night. After all, the elites of the left army and the right army cannot be spared in the hands of so many undead, let alone some civilians?
The two walked all the way to the Drunken Jun Building, which was already closed and not open at this time. But Bai Zimo knew that Lu Cheng hadn't left yet, and only wine could be obtained from his family's wine cellar.
The door of the Drunken Jun Building was tightly closed, Bai Zimo went up and knocked, and soon a voice came from inside.
Lu Cheng looked haggard, every time he was worried since the start of the war, he had even experienced the siege of the undead, and he was so scared that he was about to have a heart attack.
"Major General, you're here. He saw from the crack in the door that it was Bai Zimo and You, so he opened the door and let them in.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Lu. Bai Zimo shook it to the end.
Lu Cheng hugged him: "I can't help it, young general." ”
There was a thin layer of ash on the floor, and it looked like it hadn't been taken care of for days. Lu Cheng led the two of them inside, and the backyard was where he lived.
Lu Cheng took a cloth and wiped it on a table: "Guys, all run away, I'm closed here, but I'll get whatever you want to eat." ”
"Uncle Lu, you better go to Baidu, the cold city is too dangerous. Bai Zimo said solemnly, he had persuaded Lu Cheng a long time ago, but he was very stubborn.
"The foundation of my Lu family for several generations is here, and I may not be able to come back if I leave. Lu Cheng sighed, it's not that he is too wealthy, but because it is too difficult to gain a foothold in this world.
Some people are princes and princesses, and some people are digging in the field. The drunken monarch building built by his Lu family for several generations cannot be lost in his hands.
"If you have something, you will be sad. "Lu Jun knows
He sent a few letters, asking him to tie up his father to Baidu, because he couldn't persuade Lu Cheng.
But Bai Zimo was in a coma for a long time after the accident, and he didn't care about it, and now he said that he was drinking, so he wanted to do it by the way.
"That bastard boy, if I don't open a store, where can he go to school, but he will discipline me!" Lu Cheng thought about it in pieces, although he was scolding, but he was safe.
He's old, and he doesn't understand anything. Everything in this world is made by hard work, and sometimes it takes your life to fight.
Bai Zimo was helpless, he couldn't really tie up Lu Cheng, but he didn't have the best of both worlds.
"Don't talk about that, I still have a few white geese, I'll kill one for you. Lu Cheng waved his hand and was about to go to the back kitchen.
"I'm here to help, too. Bai Zimo hurriedly stood up, there are no guest officers and shops today, only uncles and nephews.
"It's okay, when you were a child, you and Junzhi were mischievous, and the goose ran all over the yard, and you were a general in the blink of an eye. Lu Cheng touched his beard and recalled that time always slipped away inadvertently.
"Don't be idle, Uncle Lu's wine cellar is there, you go and move two jars of wine out. Bai Zimo kicked You's chair, and You followed the direction he pointed to the wine cellar to get wine.
The kitchen was busy, and Bai Zimo was even more neat than the guys in the store before. Lu Cheng personally took charge of the kitchen and fried several side dishes.
You wanted to help, but she didn't know where to start, so she was disgusted by Bai Zimo and asked him to stay.
You looked at Bai Zimo, who was busy coming and going, and saw him sharp at first. I don't know when he became calm and introverted.
"Roast goose out of the pot, be careful of scalding. Lu Cheng trotted out of the kitchen with the roast goose, and there were already a few small dishes on the table.
Bai Zimo washed his hands and took three bowls over: "Uncle Lu's treasure knife is not old, and when you ask about the fragrance, you will know that it is still the taste of childhood." ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Lu Cheng smiled and waved his hand, he used to be the chef of the restaurant, and he was hired later, and he hadn't cooked for a long time.
"Eat, eat, don't be restrained by this little brother, just treat it as your own home. Lu Cheng greeted You.
You sat upright, he originally came to rub Bai Zimo's wine, and he didn't have any burden in his heart. But now, I look at it, and I feel like I'm in a hurry to go to the neighbor's house and they're eating.
Are you embarrassed that your neighbor let you serve the table?
"Uncle Lu, you can't let him, he doesn't have anything else, but he can eat it, and as soon as you let the two of us, we won't eat it. Bai Zimo pretended to be stingy, which made Lu Cheng laugh, and You also relaxed.
"you, you're slander!" You stretched out his chopsticks and snatched the piece in front of Bai Zimo and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Zimo, in fact, if you don't come today, I will also go to see you. Lu Cheng looked at Bai Zimo who was grabbing vegetables with You, it seemed that he was talking and laughing, but there was always a pain in his eyes that could not be healed.
"Thank you Uncle Lu for your concern, but Zimo neglected to take care of Uncle Lu. "White
Zimo heard the meaning of Lu Cheng's words, seemed to think of something again, and drank all the wine in the bowl.
"General Bai's death in battle is really the sorrow of my Bai country, and when I first heard about it, I and other small people were also very sad. Lu Cheng knew the pain in Bai Zimo's heart, and he hated to share it with him.
"Zimo only hated not being able to stand by his father's side and let him defend against the enemy alone. The liquor entered his throat, and Bai Zimo's eyes were red. The pain and evil aura that has accumulated in the bottom of my heart are permeating it.
This is a big hand patted Bai Zimo's shoulder, but it was You: "Ling Zun won't blame you, during these times when you were unconscious, he was very worried about you, you can wake up, I believe he will be relieved under Jiuquan." ”
"What Brother You said is reasonable, the general must also hope that you can cheer up, and he will be sad to see you like this. Lu Cheng filled the three of them with wine again: "The deceased is gone, let's give the general a glass." ”
The three of them stood up and poured a glass of wine out of the cold city. Bai Zimo knelt down in the direction of his father's death: "The child promises you, live up to the king's life, live up to the white country!"
Bai Yingwu's death, Bai Boxian has a lot of responsibility. But Bai Yingwu told Bai Zimo before his death that no matter what Bai Boxian did, he and Bai Zimo were all descendants of the Bai family, shouldering the rise and fall of the Bai Kingdom.
Now that Bai Yingwu has passed away, the heavy responsibility of guarding the cold city falls on Bai Zimo. He secretly told himself that he would not let Bai Yingwu die in vain.
In the distance, Chen Guo's camp.
Chen Meng removed the fixing plate tied to his arm, it was time, before the first snow arrived, he would be triumphant!
