Chapter 236: The most bitter thing is the human heart
If you ask who Xu Hu and Sun Xiansheng are most afraid of in this world, the first is their respective Lao Tzu, and the second is the current king, but no matter how you count them, the Qin generals in front of them can definitely enter the top ten.
Seeing that General Qin was really angry, Jiang Zhongyou still wanted to argue a few words, Xu Hu and Sun Xiansheng were just guys who had entered the Yanwu Hall with money, and they naturally knew exactly what would happen if they provoked the big officials in Xianyang City with their own petty officials. So at this moment, even the grumpy Sun Xiansheng could only suppress his temperament and bow his head and remain silent.
"You two still don't tell the secret of Xu Ao's five or six hundred guards in front of General Qin! You must know that this matter is related to the life and death of my North Road army, and if you keep silent, you are plotting against my North Road army, and you are deliberately sending our generals here to death, and you are even more disloyal to Great Qin!" General Wang was even more proud at this time when he saw the silent support of General Qin.
His nephew and grandson were far away in the Western Route Army at this time, and all the actions were naturally not transmitted to the Northern Route Army. For these little ghosts, in fact, General Wang is already very unhappy openly and secretly. At this moment, if you pick up a chance to fall into a well, how can there be a reason not to die and throw a stone into it. If one is stoned to death, his nephew will be able to have one less obstacle after he comes out of the martial arts hall, and he will be one step closer to his high position. What's more, the generals in the tent have already made an appointment, no matter who first asks the secret of the five or six hundred guards, each family will give certain benefits after returning to Xianyang. This good opportunity to win the kindness of all families should of course belong to my royal family.
Jiang Zhongyou came a little late, no, it should be said that most of their generation came a little late, except for a few people such as General Pony. When the big guy came in, he noticed the slightly indifferent expressions of the generals who had come in earlier. In addition, now that General Qin is actually helping General Wang to stop the quarrel between the two sides, Jiang Zhongyu still doesn't understand the truth of the situation. His neck stretched a few times, but he finally swallowed the words in his throat back into his stomach. He sighed and sat back on the floor.
Although many junior generals have different expressions, most of them have hidden relatives. Although they are both generals, who of the older generation of regular generals has ever taken these imps who have been temporarily granted official positions in their eyes? Don't you see that at this time, for the sake of the secrets of these juniors, a group of old guys who are almost 1,000 years old together actually joined hands to force Xu Hu and Sun Xiansheng to reveal their brothers' secrets? Who knows if this scene will happen to them in the future?
Seeing that Xu Hu and Sun Xiansheng still didn't speak, General Wang was about to get angry with his white eyebrows. At this time, the herald outside the tent came to report that hundreds of Beidi cavalry were found hundreds of miles away, and the spies arrived, and the army must have been not far away.
General Qin got up and suppressed the panic that had erupted in the tent. He pushed open the curtain of the tent with his own hands, pointed outside and said to Xu Hu and Sun Xiansheng, "Look. ”
Looking out of the tent, I only felt that the night sky above was endless, and the stars in the sky were even more palpable. The bonfires below are dotted with stars, like the Milky Way falling downside down in the sky. Looking far away, the lights stretch for dozens of miles. It is conceivable that there are three or five Qin Yan soldiers full of grief around every bonfire at this moment, and they don't know who they are thinking about in the distance.
The bonfire, which should be glorious, also looks sad at the moment.
"Do you know that when the army went north, it was also passing by here, what did I see?" General Qin's gaze looked to the north: "It is the majestic and mighty Qin soldiers, the blooming sparks, the red-faced faces around the bonfire, and the longing and hope for the future." At that time, a few of you were chattering around the bonfire discussing how different Yan and Qin were there. In the middle of the river, it was even more because of Sun Xiansheng's sentence 'Yanbei is the first-class bow and strong horse in the world' that almost fought with you. At that time, I saw a vigorous spirit. I said to myself, these children, these soldiers of Daqin, came to Yanbei with me, and came here to train through the suffering of other countries. I'm going to bring them back in their entirety, and at the same time I won't let the suffering of other countries happen to my own country. ”
"General!" the crowd in the tent behind him muttered.
"Listen to me quietly. General Qin didn't look back, just nodded into the distance. He didn't even look at the extinguished frenzy and the desolation in the eyes of everyone behind him: "I sat here all night. This is not the first time I've led troops to war, and I've seen too many wives separated by war. I've seen too many wars that have left them without support. I have even seen pregnant women holding the corpses of dead babies with blood on their hands, naked and dragged into the woods by brutes. The despair of that moment, I swear never to repeat it to you. ”
"General, don't say any more. Behind them, the two of them only felt an invisible blade stirring in their chests, and their whole bodies hurt.
General Qin didn't pay attention to them at all, and just said to himself: "Now that I pass by here again, I also sat here all night and didn't sleep. What I saw was no longer the mighty and majestic Qin army full of anticipation for the future, but the wounded soldiers whose bewildered faces and the crackling sound of the bonfire would wake up. I asked myself if it was worth it or not. For the sake of an ethereal Heavenly Demon invasion in everyone's eyes, it is worth it or not to pull so many hot-blooded men from Daqin to the barren land of Yanbei to die. I sat for most of the night, still without an answer. ”
General Qin turned to look at the two figures with their heads bowed, and sighed: "If you can, please let my big Qin man's blood be less bleeding." ”
