Chapter 121: The General on the Clear Water (Third Update)
Lin Yi carefully described the previous battle between the two half-saints, how he met the Liutong Army, and how he captured the Baosheng King.
In addition to deducing that the Northern Wei Dynasty was very likely to have the traces of the cultivators, he also directly stated his inference that the real purpose of the Meishan Battle of the Northern Wei Dynasty was not only in the elixir, but also in capturing an important person.
Listening to the young man's narration, the expression in Xu Su's eyes became more and more complicated.
If it is all true, then this young man has experienced too many things since he entered Meishan, and it is too big.
"You're sure every word you say is true?"
He looked at Lin Yi's still somewhat green face, suppressed the shock in his heart, and then felt that his tone was a little wrong, and added gently, "It's not that I doubt your character, but King Baosheng... There is also the situation of the Northern Wei Dynasty that is too involved, and it has to be meticulous. ”
"I am the only one who has seen the previous half-saint battle, but the cultivator who died in my dynasty is called Li Qingming, I remember his face, and I also took this black jade talisman from him. Lin Yi told Xu Su about Li Qingming's facial features, and then nodded at Xue Jiu, Zhou Jingzong and others behind him, and said, "As for the Baosheng King who fought with the Liutong Army later, they can all prove it." ”
Xu Su nodded, he didn't skip any links, and talked with Xue Jiu, Zhou Jingzong and others alone for a while before returning to Lin Yi.
"This military situation is very important, and I will send someone to deal with it immediately. ”
He looked at Lin Yi, the expression in his eyes became more and more gentle, but his tone was a few points heavier, "I want to congratulate you, I will truthfully report these military achievements, Gao Ce will definitely not take the first credit." Regardless of whether this military situation can be effective in the end, just because you saved the Liutong Army and cut King Baosheng's feet and captured them alive, when the military merits are rewarded, your official rank should be higher than mine. ”
"So I thank you in advance. ”
Lin Yi bowed down and thanked him, if he could get out of Meishan alive and be promoted, it would naturally be a good thing, the more military merits he had, the more he might be able to help his father who was assigned to the border pass, but at the moment he should be most concerned about his own situation and the war around him.
"I asked Xue Jiu, when we arrived here, we wanted to accept the dispatch of the Shangfeng generals here, so now it is you, General Xu. His delicate brows frowned slightly, looked at Xu Su, and asked sincerely, "I don't know what the general will do to us next?"
"According to the current military information transmitted here, there are a few options. ”
Xu Su groaned slightly, and said: "There is a place, according to the latest military information, a lot of earth immortals have been discovered, and your Tiece Army has already searched for and excavated in the past, but according to the latest military information, the Northern Wei Dynasty has also had an army operating on that side. That area is not far from here, more than twenty miles. In another place, there is an army asking for help, they should be caught between two Wei armies, I am afraid that the cultivators need to be too able to get out of trouble. There is another place that is similar to ours here, but the military information is not transmitted here on time, and if there is either an accident there, or the person who transmits the military information has an accident, someone needs to find out. ”
Lin Yi's complexion did not change, but his eyes were full of sincere gratitude.
In Xu Su's words, those three places were not directly mentioned, this is because these are all confidential military information, and according to the convention, it is absolutely impossible for the generals of Shangfeng to give military orders to have several choices for their subordinates to choose, let alone the dispatch of Tie Ce Army by Su Guards like him.
"Of these three places, which one is more likely to be useful for the military situation I reported today?" he looked at Xu Su, not hiding his true thoughts, "I guess it's either the Chen family or the Xiao family, and whether it's the Chen family or the Xiao family, if the two I imagined were my former classmates, even if I could deliver these messages to them as quickly as possible, I might be able to help them." ”
Xu Su also looked at him carefully, as if judging the truth of what he said.
"If you weren't Lin Yi, I'd still wonder if you wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix. He looked at Lin Yi, and after saying this, he didn't say anything more, but said lightly, "Since you think so, I think you should go and discover the place where the Earth Immortal Weng is." As far as I know, the armies and practitioners who were active in that area before were all from Jiankang City. ”
"Then I'll go there. Xu Su said it vaguely, but Lin Yi felt that what he said was clear enough.
Perhaps the cultivators and troops who were active in that area before were related to the Chen family or the Xiao family.
"Although it is only more than twenty miles from here to that place, since last night, there seem to be many cultivators fighting in the mountains and forests along the way, and I don't know the specific military situation. Xu Su quietly looked at the young man's face and said, "Your perception is extraordinary, in my opinion, it is safer for you to go alone, and the rest of these Tiece Army sergeants can stay and transport the wounded back." Many of these wounded are cultivators, and although these people you left behind are only cooperating, they should also remember a lot of military exploits. ”
Lin Yi bowed to the general again, he was really grateful to the other party, and then he couldn't help but ask softly, "How do you know me, do you know that I will come here?"
"Your Tiece army will naturally be in the military situation, but it is mentioned that the leader of the army will be Lin Yi, a freshman from the Southern Heavenly Academy, so I paid attention to it, I was a border army in my early years. Xu Su's face showed a faint emotion, "I am Huang Ya in the border army, and I happened to be under your father's subordinates at the time, although I haven't met your father, but strictly speaking, I also obtained military merits under his subordinates, and later transferred to Bingzhou to train troops, and finally transferred to the Su Guard." ”
"Thank you, General, for remembering the old days. Lin Yi said sincerely.
The corners of Xu Su's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile, and then he whispered a few words to Lin Yi, that was the specific location on the map.
The military order was soon issued.
Xue Jiu and the others did not object.
Although the contact time was short, they believed that Xu Su's decision was correct, there were many wounded to deal with, and Lin Yi was indeed much safer alone than them acting together.
They had also marched and fought with some cultivators of the Tie Ce Army before, but none of those cultivators' perceptions seemed to be as amazing as Lin Yi.
"Can I go with you?"
But Zhou Jingzong came to Lin Yi's side, saluted, and then said softly very sincerely: "If I follow the clues and look for the elixir, I may be useful." Tracing and searching for traces is all subtle and different, and we are afraid that our experience will be more than that of most cultivators and sergeants. ”
Lin Yi was not stubborn, he frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then agreed to Zhou Jingzong's request.
The mountains and forests are always there, but the cultivators and the army are alive, and the army and the cultivators are walking within the range of dozens of miles of mountains and forests, and he may not be able to meet them soon, and having a person like Zhou Jingzong may save him a lot of time searching.
After making this decision, he didn't see Xu Su in this camp.
He thought that Xu Su might be going to deal with the emergency military situation, so he didn't care, for this kind of going alone or taking someone with him, this did not need Xu Su's permission, because the personnel of the Tie Ce Army were under his control, and Xu Su only suggested that it was safer for him to go alone.
......
Xu Su has already descended this hillside.
At the bottom of the hillside, there is a depression on the north side.
There is a lot of clear water in the depression.
There are no wild beasts around, and there are many dense aquatic plants growing on the bottom of the water.
The water looks very clear, but near the surface of the water, there are countless mosquito larvae swimming, and it looks disgusting.
At the edge of this depression, a general sits.
This general, Lin Yi, had met before, and he was one of the guerrillas who brought them to Meishan.
It's just that this general is not a high rank in the guerrilla army, so he is not noticeable.
Xu Su walked to the general's side, smiled slightly, and said softly: "As you wish, Lin Yi has come." ”
