Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 237 Dilemma
Geng Zhong has been fully cooperating with Xiang Bei to strengthen the defense of Jinsha City during this time. After Chang Poyu left with Lu Jichuan, Xiang Bei simply moved the entire camp into the newly expanded North Gate Urn City.
Of course, they also know that Chang Po's intentions are good, these homeless people can only stop here, they can neither enter the city nor go out of the city, and they are still under the banner of Li Heng and Xiao Zhu to distribute supplies to the homeless camp.
But Geng Zhong privately discussed with Xiang Bei, and in the name of treating Ji Chang'an's injuries, he and his eldest grandson sisters were taken to Geng Zhong's lieutenant camp to settle down.
Seeing that Geng Zhong was particularly interested in the eldest grandson, Xiang Bei deliberately tempted, "Brother Geng, when did you fall in love with the second eldest grandson?"
Geng Zhong looked like a rough man, but he was suddenly shy by this question,
"Maybe it's fate, it was her elixir that healed my injuries at that time?"
"Your wounds, your ass?"
"Brother, can we stop talking about this?"
Xiang Bei was silent for a while, and asked Geng Zhong rhetorically, "Brother Geng, you still remember Sister Mei'er, and Brother Tangshan......"
Geng Zhong knew Xiang Bei's thoughts, "I understand, brother, don't forget, we promised General Chang that Jinsha can't be broken!"
This is not because of shyness, at the moment of the great enemy, Geng Zhong does not want to distract his brothers who are fully deployed because of his children's personal affairs. Although, he also understood Xiang Bei's intentions, and was worried that he and his eldest grandson would repeat the mistakes of Tangshan and Zhao Meier.
"Besides, I'm just a rough martial artist, Miss Eldest Sun is a golden branch and jade leaf, brother, don't make fun of me......"
When it comes to men and women, Xiang Bei is indeed not good at it. Especially when he himself was in a mess, but when he saw Geng Zhong and his eldest grandson leaving together, he inexplicably remembered the bloody wedding between Tangshan and Zhao Meier, and he always felt that it was a regret, although he didn't understand that Zhao Meier's desire for marriage was actually a kind of fate for all women.
If it weren't for Ji Chang'an's efforts to dissuade him, Changsun Li would also want to devote himself to the defense of Jinsha. Although Chang Po took away the troops in Jinsha City quietly at night, it still touched the nerves of the sensitive people of Jinsha, and people began to inquire about each other on the streets, and even a kind of suspicion and uneasiness filled the air.
In order to appease the people, Xiang Bei asked Shen Moyan to lead his subordinates to cover the Xuanjia inside the coat, and put the military uniform of Daxia on the outside, increasing the patrol density on the street, so that no additional incidents occurred.
But when he saw Xiang Bei, Changsun Li couldn't help but mention it again, wanting to participate in the defense of the city.
Ji Chang'an on the side couldn't help but ask, "I heard that General Chang withdrew the main force of Jinsha, leaving only our Xuanjia army to defend Jinsha, Xiang Bei, I also want to return to the team of our Xuanjia brothers, you see that my injuries are almost healed." ”
Xiang Bei had no choice but to appease them one by one, after all, the eldest grandson sister still needs Ji Chang'an's protection, and he looked for the eldest grandson to leave, mainly to ask her what she thought of Geng Zhong.
"No, absolutely not!" the eldest grandson said quickly, shaking his head like a rattle.
Xiang Bei was a little puzzled, "Sister Eldest Sun, don't you like Brother Geng? ”
"That's not ......"
"Then, what do you think of Brother Geng's identity?"
"Alas, Xiang Bei, since our Beiliang lost General Xiang Sheng, the pillar of protecting the country, how can Beiliang still have any identity at all. My father's eldest grandson, Wujiang, married us sisters to Xiqiang and Nanjun respectively, and his old man even bore a humiliating infamy for this. However, the two of us sisters sent people under the fence, but we were also in fear all day long, like lost dogs. If it weren't for Captain Geng's willingness to take him in, we would only be afraid of being different from those unclothed homeless people. ”
The eldest grandson on the side was also sad when she heard it, she was more calm than her sister, and she didn't even talk much on weekdays, but she sighed slightly. This time, she rarely separated Ji Changan and her sister, leaving Xiang Bei alone to question,
"I can't think of General Xiang, you young hero, I hope to see the day when you can re-hold up a piece of the sky in our Beiliang. Seeing that Xiang Bei was silent, she also understood that this captain of Daxia had deeper feelings for Beiliang, but this was not the focus of what she wanted to ask, so she changed her words and brought up the matter of Changsun Li and Geng Zhong again.
"I've also heard you tell you the story of Zhao Meier and Captain Tangshan. Indeed, life is like duckweed, and the army of monsters that are eyeing each other may launch a surprise attack at any time. What woman does not long for a home to rely on. ”
"That is, the second miss does not have that kind of ...... for Brother Geng"
"No, General Xiang, I know this second sister best, she is far from the age difference between her and the Xiqiang Marquis Yebucuo, and she can't talk about any feelings, and the Xiqiang people are fierce, and the sisters are making things difficult in every way, and the younger sister is just more hostages there. ”
Regarding the grievances between the eldest grandson and the Xiang family, Xiang Bei already knew it after reading General Xiang Sheng's suicide note, and he could also realize that the misfortune of the eldest grandson family was no less than that of the Xiang family.
The second sister was thanks to the care of Lord Geng Zhong during this time, and when she talked about Lord Geng, she also revealed that she liked it. ”
"Then why doesn't she want to admit it?"
"The second sister doesn't admit that she likes Lord Geng Zhong, but she doesn't want to be on the cusp of this kind of situation, because her children's private affairs distract Master Geng. And ,......"
The eldest grandson hesitated for a moment, saw that Xiang Bei listened with a serious face, and simply said, "My second sister has been widowed for three years and has not arrived, and Yebucuo has lost her life again, she is afraid that she will bring bad luck to General Geng Zhong." ”
The words of the eldest grandson made Xiang Bei's heart shake, he couldn't bear to see the tragedy of Tangshan and Zhao Meier repeated, but he felt that this matter did seem to be beyond the scope of his understanding.
Simply, he brought the thoughts of the eldest grandson Li to Geng Zhong, so he no longer dwelled on this matter, just continued to strengthen the layout of the urn city and the main city, and from time to time he had to meet with Tian'en to discuss how to integrate the magic circle laid by Tian'en with the entire Jinsha city defense.
As long as you can hold on for one more day, there will be more hope when Chang Po returns victoriously.
Chang Poyu also knows this, time is too precious for Daxia Changsheng, he took Lu Jichuan and Ma Zheng everyone, marched all the way to the front line of Northern Xinjiang, but he had to think about how to use the shortest time to counterattack the Northern Wilderness Ranger, so as to return to Jinsha.
The Northern Army of Great Xia is often victorious, and there is no longer the 100,000 elite cavalry that swept the world when Tiankuihou was alive. Today's Great Xia Emperor Hua Sizhen does not have the iron-blooded mind of Taizu Hua Yuanqi and Gaozu Hua Yangchi, and under the soft grinding and hard consumption of a group of Wenchen, he has simply transferred the silver taels of the maintenance horse team into those luxurious tall buildings in Sheng'an City. Lord Huo even praised that if you win the surrender of the four seas with the luxury of this majestic city in the world, it should be better than swords and blood.
As a result, most of the elites of the Jinsha that Chang Bao can rely on at present are mainly infantry, and the horse team is only responsible for assisting in the attack or covering.
Chang Polu constantly urged the weary warriors to speed up their marches, and sometimes even gave up his horses to soldiers with weak legs, but even so, he was quite dissatisfied with the speed of the march. Under his constant whipping, those miserable Jinsha soldiers also began to express their dissatisfaction with the military order in private.
These dissatisfaction not only come from Ma Zheng, but also many low-level generals, and these non-commissioned officers are the force that directly leads the soldiers to charge, and Ma Zheng firmly holds these people in his hands.
Several generals got together privately and discussed finding Ma Zheng to vent their dissatisfaction.
"Master Ma, you have to be the master of the brothers, and if you continue to run like this, don't say that you will charge into battle, but you will kill many brothers on the road. ”
"You wine bags and rice bags, don't you see that our generals have also given up their mounts to carry their baggage and walk with you? Even the old man who Chang Po captured was also on foot? Why, you are not even as good as an old man, and you are embarrassed to shout?"
"Master Ma, that's not what we meant. You say, this Chang Po was frightened by the beast wolf ride, it is said that he was almost taken away by those war cunning in Shekou Gorge, and now when he burns his eyebrows, he does not let us guard his homeland, but takes us on such a long run, it should be that he wants to avoid the war cunning wolf ride and escape with us in the name of the northern attack rangers. ”
"Hmph!" Ma Zheng snorted coldly from his nose and stopped talking. Everyone saw that his face was pale, and they didn't dare to speak indiscriminately for fear of touching his moldy head.
"Since you can't rest assured, then hurry up and pack up the Northern Wilderness Ranger for me. How can those rabble who fled from South County do everything they can to protect our Sands?"
In front of his own people, Ma Zheng no longer concealed his contempt for Xiangbei's army of the dead country, Xuanjia Shence.
"Master Ma, desperately, the brothers have never been ambiguous. It's just that if we let that old man dictate to us, I'm afraid that the soldiers will be slowly played to death by him! Lord Lu, he has concerns, let us be bullied by that old guy, Lord Ma, you have to call the shots for your brothers. ”
Ma Zheng flew up and kicked the talking leader's buttocks, kicked him to a stagger, threw a few steps forward, and finally stood unsteadily, and knelt on the ground with a pop, staring at Ma Zheng with wide eyes.
Ma Zheng's eyes widened, even more fierce than that guy, "What are you staring at! Lord Lu is the boss of our Jinsha, if you dare to be disrespectful to him again, I will pull your teeth off one by one!"
These little leaders are all the hardcore of Ma Zheng's subordinates, knowing that Ma Zheng said this is just to scare and scare them, the person who spoke got up from the ground, patted the dust on his pants, and flattered him with a hippie smile, "Master Ma, don't worry, the brothers will definitely listen to you." Master Lu is the leading big brother of our Sands. ”
Ma Zheng actually understands that Chang Poyu's idea of wanting to fight fast is right. However, Great Xia often won against the Northern Wilderness Rangers, that is, the steady defense of the infantry against the fierce offensive of the Rangers, and only by relying on the high walls of the fortified city could it have a chance of winning. So when to fight, the rhythm of the battle, these are all in the hands of the dominant Northern Wilderness rangers.
