Volume 1 Jianghu Chapter 74 Last Wish

"Compared to this news, I'm more curious about how you learned that the person who led the troops this time was Zhao Jiansoul, could it be that you can install a spy on the Western Xia side without coming to Xichu for half a year?"

Xue Pingchuan stared directly at the man in front of him, if an ordinary person gave him such a look, he was afraid that the coercion he suffered would be honestly explained without the general doing it again.

It's a pity that he is facing this man in green shirts.

Sima Yun didn't care about the words of the general in front of him, he was not angry or annoyed, he just smiled faintly.

"In fact, the general should have known it in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it, or he didn't want to announce this fact to shake the hearts of the army, not long ago, a strange soldier in the Western Xia didn't want to die, no, it should be said that it was a way of fighting by cutting off children and grandchildren, who else could take out this kind of trick except Zhao Jiansoul? The Emperor of Western Xia has released this person now, which shows that it is inevitable to win this war, and Zhao Jiansoul Although he reads soldiers and horses, he is unpredictable, and he uses soldiers like gods, if it is not because it is too fearful, if the Emperor of Western Xia reuses this person, I am afraid that the border of Western Chu has long been not peaceful, Zhao Jiansoul is out, the situation is not optimistic, borrowing troops from Xuanyuan Hongtu, at most half a year, at least two months, if Zhao Jiansoul comes again, has the general ever thought about how to resist?

Xue Pingchuan's face was solemn when he heard this, and the ancient saying is that the cloud soldiers are noble and fast, if the Western Xia Zhao Sword Soul commands the troops, there is a chance that they will attack again, and at that time, the Tiger and Wolf Pass can really be defended?

"Zhao Jiansoul is also benevolent enough, did not attack in the New Year's season, and finally let the soldiers have a good New Year, this is probably one of the few benevolent and righteous things that this famous general of Western Xia has done, now let's not talk about Western Xia, even if we don't know about the Western Xia border defense fifty miles away, how to win this battle? The war came too fast, there was no expectation at all, there seemed to be a big hand behind the back, and the troubled times were coming. ”

Sima Yun seemed worried, but after all, he was not as dignified as Xue Pingchuan.

Xue Pingchuan said softly.

"It's normal not to know about Western Xia, Western Xia has always been incompatible with the other two countries in my Central Plains, and the other two countries are not open to the territory of Western Xia, even a few powerful people in Western Xia have never really met, as for the Western Xia emperor even looks like is not clear, only know that Western Xia has been in the northernmost part of the Central Plains, the land is barren, mostly barbarians, nothing else knows, now Zhang Mingyue led a hundred horses into the territory of Western Xia, maybe he can send us back a little news, even a little bit of news may make us no longer in a passive state, at least, but also let us know what Western Xia looks like。 ”

"Is it possible for the general to think that these hundred horsemen can come back alive?"

Sima Yun is finally no longer as calm and light as he has always been.

"In the land of Saibei, the weather is cold, even if you use carrier pigeons, it is difficult to survive in such a harsh environment, only use people to pass on the message, Zhang Mingyue is now a knife has reached the second-grade realm, even if others can't survive, he should have hope to survive, right?"

Xue Pingchuan smiled meaningfully.

"The general knows it very well. ”

Sima Yun glanced at Xue Pingchuan.

"No matter what, you shouldn't be too optimistic, after all, general, you should also know that there are some things that can be done and some things that must not be done. ”

"Of course, I just want him to come back safely. As for the rest, they dare not ask for extravagance. ”

Outside the tent, there was a sudden commotion.

The two walked out of the camp side by side, it seems that there is no snow in the winter night in Saibei, once it is dawn and it is a cold and snowy place, so these days the snow falls, the snow is enough to submerge the knees, if it is not for the camp every day there are soldiers to clean, I am afraid that the camp tent of the march on this side of the territory will be buried in the snow, it is the moon dark and the wind is high, the general looks at it, in the dark night, the north is red through half of the sky, almost half of the soldiers in the entire military camp are watching from afar, the ranger Er Guyue is not as strong as these soldiers, so he can only be put on the neck by the battalion commander who has no right arm, the two are very different in size, and they have made way when they see that the general is coming。

"A vision from heaven?"

Xue Pingchuan couldn't help frowning.

"It's not a vision from the sky, but a fire, there was a big fire in Xixia, and it wouldn't be a village if it could trigger such a big fire, because no one would be stupid enough to build a village at the border, of course, the old people who couldn't walk in Tiger Wolf Pass were an exception, except for the Xixia military camp under the ice and snow, I couldn't think of any other place. Sima Yun explained.

"Someone set a fire to the camp of the Western Xia soldiers, it may still be a grain and grass camp, presumably Zhao Jiansoul has already stationed troops on the border. ”

"Could it be them, you say, the ones who set the fire?"

"Nine times out of ten, apart from them, could it be that the two armies also sent other people to the territory of Western Xia?"

"That's not true, if it really burns down the Xixia grain and grass camp, then wouldn't our strange army be a party? It seems that we have to give them a credit, but I don't know how many brothers will come back alive. ”

The grain and grass camp was burned, and the soldiers of Xixia were stationed, and the good and bad news fell into the ears of the soldiers guarding the border, but they all closed their mouths as if they had only heard the good news.

Even Xue Pingchuan was smiling.

"I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will be very happy if he hears this news, it can be burned like this, it is enough to see the amount of grain and grass, I am afraid that Zhao Jiansoul will not be able to organize a large-scale attack in a short period of time, but why do you not look happy at all. ”

Among the hundreds of sergeants, Sima Yun was the only one who was too eye-catching, because instead of being happy, he was even more worried.

"General, have you forgotten who our opponent is?"

Sima Yun said coldly.

"What we have to face is the unpredictable Zhao Jian Soul, with Zhao Jian Soul's means, the grain and grass camp is really so easy to be burned? If he really wants to protect the grain and grass, do you think they can complete this task with just a hundred people? Zhao Jian Soul, I'm afraid there will be a big move. ”

Zhao Jiansoul.

The whole army was in an uproar.

"What do you mean?"

Xue Pingchuan asked in a deep voice.

"I can't be sure for the time being, wait for someone to come back. ”

"Waiting for whom?"

"Who do you think we're missing in our camp?"

Xue Pingchuan looked around at this time, and there were familiar faces, but the one-armed little old man was missing.

"When did Senior Li go out?"

"After the departure of the hundred-man horse. ”

β€”β€”

Zhang Mingyue, who was scarred and had no strength to resist, was brought into the grain and grass camp by Zhao Jiansoul, although the soldiers tried their best to put out the fire, but they couldn't help the fire snake ravage, all the grain and grass were almost burned to the ground, and a thousand elite soldiers were only less than three hundred left, the original barracks had almost become a ruin, more than a hundred women only survived thirty or forty of them all took advantage of the chaos to escape, originally thought that burning the grain and grass camp could allow the Western Xia Army to suspend the attack, Zhang Mingyue never thought that the general named Zhao Jiansoul in front of him turned out to be doing this on purpose, and he no longer had the idea of excitement, but because the grain and grass camp was burned, Zhao Jiansoul decided to attack in advance and was worried。

Zhao Jiansoul is as his name suggests, although there is only one eye left, his whole person still has the potential of a sheathed sword, Zhang Mingyue can't help but think silently in his heart, if this guy's two eyes are intact, he must also be the dragon among people, but this person's methods are too appalling, it is really difficult to generate a good feeling, after all, there is never a shortage of enemies in this world to become friends.

Zhao Jiansoul's face was cold, he couldn't see joy and sorrow, the soldiers fighting the fire continued, the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, but they couldn't pose any threat to the fire at all.

"Don't you feel sorry for the death of so many soldiers?"

Regaining a little strength, Zhang Mingyue grinned forcibly, and then pulled the facial muscles in pain.

"Distressed? Soldiers are born to die for war, do you think I will feel distressed? What's more, my soldiers will not die in vain, and they will exchange their lives for the Tiger Wolf Pass, this deal is very cost-effective. ”

Zhao Jiansoul didn't seem to be in a bad mood, but even had the heart to chat with the young man behind him who was lying on horseback and couldn't move.

It's just that Zhang Mingyue didn't think that this guy who could condone soldiers to rob women and poison crossbow arrows, and in order to arouse the fighting spirit of soldiers, burned half a year's grain and grass of 100,000 troops, could have such a good mind, Zhang Mingyue coughed twice to confirm that it was more comfortable, and then snorted coldly.

"You know I used to be in business, but not as crazy as you. ”

"Yes, then it seems that we are also in the same way? I admire you more and more, kid, you are still in the mood to chat with me, an enemy general, when you are dying, you don't have to expect your companions to take my Xixia military plane out, under the search of my 10,000 army, don't say that it is a person, even a bird may not be able to fly out, do you believe it or not?"

Zhao Jian's soul words could not fall for more than a dozen breaths, and the Western Xia army that was sent out to search for Li Qiushu before rolled in the ice and snow, compared to Zhang Mingyue, the scholar's treatment was much better, not only was he dragged, but he also prepared a horse for him.

Zhang Mingyue was completely desperate.

"Li Qiushu, you bastard, Lao Tzu didn't let you run quickly, you fucking waste. ”

Zhang Mingyue couldn't help but scold, saying that it was scolding, but in fact, the voice was no more than the size of the usual voice at most.

Li Qiushu probably knew what kind of fate he would face, he got off the horse and staggered, although he was on a horse, he could still see that he was afraid that he would be beaten when he was discovered, and he was embarrassed, and the scholar smiled bitterly.

"Do you think I think I'm going to outrun my mother's two fucking legs on four legs? Fortunately, we set fire to the grain and grass camp before we were caught, and we didn't lose too much of a damn loss. ”

Li Qiushu went to his death with a benevolent attitude, Zhang Mingyue didn't bother to explain so much to this scholar, I thought that the two of them could do something to reduce the pressure on the border pass when they entered the north of the country, but they never thought that they would force the border pass to a critical situation, but they saw that the scholar took advantage of the fact that he didn't pay attention to him, and then he understood, I am afraid that the map with the fifty miles of the Western Xia landform has been hidden by him, but there is not much difference between hiding and not hiding in the ice and snow, even if it is hidden, it is impossible for the border guards to rush across the border line of the Western Xia to find this map。

"How do you two want to die?"

"Don't want to die. ”

The scholar scratched his head.

"Who the hell is so young and willing to die is either crazy or stupid, you see the two of us are not crazy fools at all, right? I just don't want to die and have no choice but to die, I just hope you can let us live a little longer. ”

"What? What other words do you have to confess?"

Zhao Jiansoul was also slightly surprised, this seemingly weak scholar who actually completed the arson and re-enactment said so much before he died, after all, most people either cried and begged for mercy when they knew that they were going to die, or scolded and scolded the enemy a thousand times and ten thousand times, but I had never heard of someone talking so calmly with the enemy before dying, these two young people, one of them had hard bones, and the other was not hard bones, but they also had some scholarly temperament.

This is probably the most interesting couple he has encountered since his career.

"There is no last word, but there is one wish, that is, this guy kicked Lao Tzu in the ass before I ran for my life, originally Lao Tzu thought that if he could survive, forget it, he should be flattened, but since Lao Tzu is destined not to live, then the revenge of this kick must be avenged. ”

Zhang Mingyue smiled dumbly.

"You guy, you have a grudge, or you're going to die, let out any anger you have, so as not to be comfortable when you can't walk on the road. ”
