Chapter 64: Before the Great War 1
Under Jiangling City, many corpses of Cao Jun and Wu soldiers were lying in a strewn pattern. They had just experienced a small-scale battle, and both sides had casualties.
A hole was opened in the corridor outside the city, and the corpses of the two soldiers were stacked on top of it. Not long ago, the two sides had a battle for the corridor, resulting in many casualties. In the end, no one took advantage.
Now the two sides have a tacit agreement to collect the corpses of their comrades without carrying weapons. The soldiers on both sides even talk to each other. It is hard to imagine that they were life-and-death enemies before.
Song Xin couldn't help but sigh. In his past memories, during the First World War, hostile British and German soldiers would give each other small gifts when cleaning the battlefield, and even hold football matches on Christmas. Then they would go back to the trenches to continue fighting. War has always been
It does not belong to the common people, but they are always the ones who sacrifice the most.
Song Xin and Song Ya mixed into the team collecting the corpses. As the city gate opened, the two men suddenly got up and ran over. When the Cao Jun soldiers guarding the gate saw two people running over, they quickly shouted and fired arrows.
"Song Ya, Song Xin returns to camp, don't shoot arrows!" Song Ya shouted.
The small school on the top of the city heard this and asked quickly, "But Song Ya and Song Xinhu are under General Wei Ziming?"
Song Ya shouted: "Exactly, we have military information to report to General Cao, let us enter the city immediately."
"Put away your bows and arrows and open the door!" the primary school officer ordered. It turned out that the primary school officer had been instructed a long time ago. Once Song Xin and his wife returned to the city, they should not be embarrassed and let them in immediately.
The two entered the city, each with a fast horse, and ran towards Cao Ren's mansion. The soldier watching the gate saw two men dressed as Wu soldiers rushing in, and was about to stop them. At this time, a broad-shouldered general came out, and Song Xin took a look
, it is Niujin.
"General Niu, Song Ya and Song Xin have returned from Jiangnan."
"How come you two have been in such a mess these past few days? Come into the mansion quickly." Niu Jin ordered the soldiers to retreat and let the two of them enter the mansion. Song Ya and the two looked really embarrassed at the moment, with their faces covered in black and gray.
His body was still stained with blood from when he moved the dead person.
"Go get two sets of clothes and throw away this skin." Niu Jin said again.
The two of them changed their clothes and washed their faces. They looked a little cleaner, but they still smelled sour. Niu Jin didn't care about this and pulled them into the hall.
Cao Renzheng and Xu Huang were watching the situation on the sand table and were very happy to see Song Xin and others coming in.
"You two have worked hard all the way, but have you heard about Liu Bei and Zhou Yu's movements?"
"I found out, this time
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Consistent with General Gongming's speculation, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu with 2,000 light cavalry to bypass our rear from the west of Jiangling, and ordered Zhang Fei to lead 2,500 troops to block the passage between me and Xiakou. He himself led 20,000 troops in Jiangnan,
Stationed near the mouth of Youjiang River. My cousin and I sneaked into Zhao Yun's camp. Liu Bei went south, and Zhao Yun's three thousand men were the vanguard."
"Guan Yunchang only brought two thousand men and horses and he dared to cut off my food route? Two thousand are light cavalry?" The generals were surprised after hearing this. You must know that the prime minister has nearly one hundred thousand elite soldiers on the front line of Jiangling in Xiangyang.
Cao Ren said: "This is in line with Guan Yunchang's temper. Back then, he dared to attack Yan Liang's formation with dozens of cavalry. Now he has two thousand light cavalry in his hands, which is enough to withstand ten thousand elite soldiers. At least he can hold him back.
We have tens of thousands of troops. This situation must be reported to the Prime Minister as soon as possible so that several generals can take precautions."
Xu Huang added: "Yun Chang leads an army of two thousand, and his main purpose is to harass our food routes, and will not engage in a decisive battle with our army. If our army sends people to chase, not only will it be exhausted, but it will also be easily defeated by him one by one."
Cao Ren then asked: "Is there any movement about Zhang Fei?"
Song Xin shook his head and said: "It was not mentioned in the letter. But I heard from a man named Shu Chang next to Zhao Yun that he wanted to cross the river to the west of Xiakou."
"It turns out that Ma Liang is in Zhao Yun's army. It seems that Liu Bei is determined to win Jingnan." Cao Ren said.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Ren said: "Well, Cao will write a letter and report everything, and strengthen the guards of the three fortresses of Ming'e. Brothers, you have worked hard all the way. You can rest in this mansion for a while, I will
Send someone else to deliver the letter." Cao Ren finally said.
Song Ya asked: "General, is there any war in the near future? The two of us are willing to do our best."
Cao Ren said: "In three days, our army will fight Zhou Yu's army outside the city."
"Song Ya is willing to serve as a pawn"
"Song Xin is also willing to go."
"Wei Ziming made a special statement before returning to Xiangyang that Song Xin is still young and cannot go into battle. So, little brother Song Xin, you can just watch the battle at the top of the city. Brother Song Ya, I think your riding and martial arts are not bad, you can follow me, Lao Niu
Go kill some Nangou." Niu Jin patted Song Ya on the shoulder like a big brother.
"Song Ya will live up to his mission, cousin, this time you will watch from the top of the city. Don't come out."
Song Xin shook his head and said: "Cousin, if I don't make many meritorious deeds, it will be difficult to clear my family's grievances, so let me go."
Niu Jin laughed loudly and said: "You are not old, but you are very courageous. Do you know that once you rush into the enemy's position, you will be in a hail of bullets and arrows, and you will almost die."

Song Xin said: "Even so, I'm not afraid."
Song Ya said: "Cousin, you can watch from the top of the city first. If you need help, it won't be too late for you to come out."
"In that case, General Niu, Cousin, and Song Xin will be carrying wine at the top of the city to greet the victorious few." After Song Xin finished speaking, he bowed to the two of them to show respect.
Song Xin and Song Ya returned to their residence. He took out a few diamond talismans and handed them to Song Ya, "Cousin, these two talismans belonged to Zhang Xiuyang that day. You can take them and pat them on your chest in times of crisis.
, each one can protect your brother from injury for a quarter of an hour. If you fall into the enemy's formation, just slap it on your body, and then just run into the city."
"Well, cousin, I have seen the power of this talisman. It turns out that you are an alchemist. No wonder the monster was killed by you." Song Ya happily took the talisman and carefully collected it.
"Cousin, I have never told you clearly about my freedom difficulties, so please keep it a secret for me."
"Don't worry, cousin. In fact, Brother Wei Tong and I have guessed it, and we won't tell it. You and I both went to have a rest. We are very tired after walking for two days."
In Song Xin's room, there was already a big basin filled with water. He took off his dirty clothes and jumped in to wash. Since he was imprisoned in the dark prison and returned today, he had not taken a bath for a long time. His body was already sour and smelly.
The water in the basin quickly became turbid.
However, Song Xin didn't care about this. Being able to take a bath at this time was already a special concern of General Cao. It would have been impossible for ordinary soldiers. Several generals were also able to wipe their faces and bodies with some water every day.
"Wow, Song Xin, you are playing with water, Xiaoyu is playing with you."
When Song Xin heard this, he was startled. At the same time, his face turned red and he said, "How can you look at a man taking a shower? Turn your head quickly."
"Why can't you watch it?"
"Okay, okay, Xiaoyu, I'm not even dressed. It's not good to see me like this. Don't come to see me take a shower in the future. You'd better go back first. How about I talk to you after I've dressed?"
"Well, okay, don't lie to me." After saying that, there was no sound.
Song Xin didn't use the Eye of Consciousness, so naturally he couldn't see her, but he knew she was right next to him. He probably had looked at himself all over. This ghost Xiaoyu was still a child at heart, and didn't understand the taboo between men and women at all.
Song Xin knew that Xiaoyu was nearby, so he didn't dare to wash anymore. He got up and hurriedly dried his body, changed into new clothes, and meditated on the bed.
