Everyone has different thoughts and moods at different stages.

No one changes for no reason, and no one stays the same forever.

When the dark clouds in the fields in the distance cleared, and the sky above the Daoren City swept away the haze of the previous days, ushering in a grand sunrise, the embers in the entire city gradually extinguished. The Northern Wei sergeants in the streets and alleys were cleaning up the corpses and burying the corpses of the Northern Wei sergeants outside the city, but no one knew what to do with the corpses of the Southern Dynasty sergeants who were gradually piling up.

The news that Xiao Donghuang was seriously injured and dying could not be hidden, even if the military intelligence of the great victory on the Sicheng side had already come, the haze in the hearts of these Xiao Donghuang's subordinates had become thicker.

......

Later, most of the Tiece army on the march received the latest military information from the front.

Wei Guanxing's rank in this Tiece army is not the highest, but any confidential documents naturally arrived in his hands as soon as possible.

Everyone knows that except for Lin Yi, he is actually the supreme general of this Tiece army.

The loss of Daoren City had long been foreseen for Lin Yi, Qi Zhuji and the others, but for an army like them that was more rear, there were not many signs.

The successive losses of Daoren City and Sicheng were extremely shocking even for generals like Wei Guanxing.

According to the normal means of unifying the army, any military situation that is too unfavorable will be covered up, so that the morale of the army will not be weakened and it will not be able to restrain it.

It's just that Wei Guanxing has never been a general who follows the rules, and this is not his favorite means of unifying the army.

When this Tiece army stopped to rest as usual, he did not use any embellishment, and calmly told all the Tiece army sergeants the latest military information, and then told himself in the same calm tone that he still wanted to take them to Zhongli next, and then he began to explain the reason directly.

"To die for something like something that can go down in history forever will always seem foolish and ridiculous to me. ”

He looked at these unsightly sergeants and said in a slow but powerful voice: "I managed to become the general of your iron army, firstly, because Lin Yi is the most courageous and eclectic general I have ever seen, and perhaps because he is destined to be a very accomplished cultivator, he doesn't care much about promotions. But the other most important reason is that he, like me, doesn't feel that some people's lives are worth and some people's lives are not. ”

"So for an old border soldier like me, even if it makes those high-ranking military officials look at me more unhappy, I will still find some ways to prevent my subordinates from dying. ”

Wei Guanxing smiled self-deprecatingly, "For you, honor should not be compared to marrying a wife, giving birth to some big fat boys, and living a peaceful and stable life." If it weren't for the situation, you wouldn't have licked the blood on the edge of Tie Ce's saber, but for a cultivator like me, of course, there would be more choices, even if I leave it now, I should be able to live well, at least there is no problem in being incognito and being a rich gentry in the countryside. Therefore, a cultivator like me has some pursuit to stay in the army. ”

"In the past, I was thinking about cultivation in the army, thinking that I could change the world with my own ability, at least change the course of some war. Later, it will be simpler, take revenge, and not let the enemy army wantonly kill, and also, with my temperament, if the Northern Wei Dynasty really fights, when the time comes, they will be arrogant and do not put us Southern Dynasties in their eyes, and when they have the final say in everything, they may not be able to bear it. ”

"In the world of cultivators, there are also many cultivators who are so-called masters of escapism, they only practice in the cultivation place, but it is a pity that their stability and superiority are also fought by the front-line army, in case our front-line army is completely defeated, the Southern Dynasty is gone, and the north and south have become Wei, then these practitioners only have two choices, either they also draw their knives and do it, or they also clamp their tails and bow their heads to be people. ”

"Everyone has their own different way of living, when I was a child, I never thought that I would become such a general, I am afraid that most of you would not think that you would become such a sergeant of the Tiece Army, but everyone has different experiences for everyone, at this point, since you are soldiers and I am a general, in front of us, what we should do is to fight, is to see if we can win the war. ”

Wei Guanxing was the same as when he was in the border army in the past, he said whatever he thought of, he didn't even deliberately think about the logic before and after, and think about whether these words were meaningful or not, and whether they could have a good effect.

In his opinion, the most sincere emotions and words that come from nature should be the most moving.

The iron army in front of him naturally quieted down.

"I'm afraid any of you don't think we have a chance of going to Zhongli City right now, but I really don't think so. I have faith in a person .... Now the military situation has not arrived, but you know that I am still well-informed in the border army, and I know that there is a person who is leading the army to Zhongli, if it were not for that general, I am afraid that I would not choose to go to Zhongli now. But because I know how powerful that person is, I wonder if I can hold Zhongli before he arrives, so that when his army arrives, we have many important fortresses, and maybe we can block the army of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying here in one fell swoop, and then counterattack. ”

"Maybe we're going to die a lot of people, maybe I'm going to die too. But I think it's fitting that I chose to do something like this at this time, and of course, what gives me confidence... There are many cultivators in our Tiece army, and although most of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying has a large number of cultivators, they may not have many advantages after so many battle formations. ”

"I'm done. ”

Wei Guanxing looked at everyone calmly and said, "If you want to go to Zhongli with me, just go on, if you feel inappropriate, you can go home, there will be no problems." ”

The whole process was very calm, and even after he finished speaking at this moment, there was no wave in the entire ranking.

Not a single person left.

Wei Guanxing turned around, he didn't say anything stupid like I'm proud of you, his gaze fell on one of the carriages in the team.

The carriage contained a serpent armor.

The voice that sounded in his heart now was Lin Yi, you don't want to die.

In his heart, a very special cultivator like Lin Yi is also an important part of being able to keep Zhongli.

......

At the end of this procession, there were several carriages with their doors closed and their curtains hanging at all times.

Shortly after Wei Guanxing had finished speaking to the Tie Ce Army sergeants, Wang Pingyang stepped out of one of the carriages as usual, poured some of the treated medicine residue and sewage into the pond on the side of the road, then took some clean water and returned to the carriage where the unconscious medical officer was housed.

The medical officer was still unconscious and appeared to have lost some weight.

However, when Wang Pingyang wiped some of the thick sores on his body due to dampness and heat and internal qi imbalance with water, Wang Pingyang's eyes had a strange light.

The medical officer's forehead was noticeably hotter than usual.
