"I'm not afraid that you will laugh. Back then, I followed the late emperor to fight Beidi and lost. Of the forty thousand army, there were only less than five thousand people left, and they fled all the way back. I was holding a knife in my hand, for fear that I would run too slowly.
He will be beheaded by the Di people on horseback."
"I could only hide in the woods on the mountain like a wild dog for seven or eight days."
"I thought at that time, when will our Daji be able to defeat Beidi?"
Pulling up the reins, there was light in Lian Yong's eyes.
"I understand now that it's not that the Di people are strong, but that I, the Ji people, are weak. Little boss, please wait for me. I will give you the first step in defeating Di."
Xu Mu firmly clasped his fists.
It was actually very dangerous for Lian Yong to go with the remnants of his army. After all, they were only 20,000 light cavalry, followed by more than 10,000 Xiaofeng battalion infantry.
If the speed is slower, the body will be chopped into pieces by the long knife.
Five thousand old soldiers gradually moved further and further away in Xu Mu's eyes.
"The great man has seven million dollars, so he can stop fighting and die."
Turning around, Xu Mu's face turned cold and cold. He drew his sword and raised it in the night wind. Along the way, he struggled to survive, like a dog, like a rootless duckweed, like fish on a knife.
Until now, he finally commanded an army of tens of thousands. Amidst the wind and smoke at the border, he fought for something that was once out of reach.
"Everyone has his own destiny, but my destiny is the greatest in the world!"
"Listen to my general's order, the bowmen enter the forest, the spearmen lie down, and with a strong posture, they lead three thousand cavalry and prepare to take the retreat!"
The tens of thousands of people who surrounded him raised their swords and roared towards the sky, only to disappear again in the darkness of the night.
…
After taking a sip of kumiss, Zhao Qingyun raised his head, his eyes full of sadness.
He missed the newly built general's mansion, missed Xinna's third concubine, and missed the half-eaten dried venison.
"I'm probably a rebel."
After laughing at himself, Zhao Qingyun's face suddenly became cold again.
At the top of Hezhou City, a man who looked like a general, holding a halberd in one hand and wearing a white cloak, glanced at him coldly and met his eyes.
"Shou Yuwen, a former third-grade Golden Sword Guard, abandoned his official position to follow the little master." Huang Daochun half-squinted his eyes, "I don't understand what the little master is capable of."
"Probably Zao is more powerful." Zhao Qingyun said expressionlessly.
"General Zhao, don't mention it again!"
"Remember, this is your fault. Even if you go to the Saibei Grassland, don't blame it on me." Zhao Qingyun's voice was slightly angry, and he was thinking of adding a few words. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a horse racing.
.
"General, Wangzhou City is destroyed! I saw the smoke of the city being destroyed!"
A horseman came to investigate and rode back with a face full of ecstasy.
Startled for a moment, Zhao Qingyun's face turned red instantly. Wangzhou City was broken, which meant that the army of Beidi people would rush to Hezhou City soon.
"Whatever, it's all right." Huang Daochun smiled, "It's only a matter of time before the armies join forces and capture Hezhou City."
"General Zhao, at this time, I need to say it again. I really only missed one move at that time..."
Zhao Qingyun didn't listen carefully. He suddenly remembered something and looked up at the sentry in front of him.
"How about the 20,000 veteran camp in Wangzhou? And where is the little boss?"
"Back to the general, I didn't go too far. I could only see the smoke at the top of Wangzhou City from a distance. Logically speaking, if Wangzhou City was destroyed, the defenders should be dead, just like the original ones.
Ziying——"
The whistle suddenly stopped.
"Get lost." Zhao Qingyun's originally excited face turned a little unhappy.
"Wangzhou City has been fighting fiercely for many years, and the city gates have long been in dilapidated condition. The destruction of the city is indeed expected. As soon as the army from the rear comes, Hezhou City will definitely be taken down."
"Huang Daochun, if I return to the grassland, will I still have the prince?"
"Looking at General Zhao's performance, it's the best. He will make more great contributions when the time comes. After entering the inner city, General Zhao will be named the prince of the three states." Huang Daochun narrowed his smile.
"You smile so sinisterly."
Zhao Qingyun frowned and turned around. After losing Hezhou, he always felt like a lost dog. When King Zuo Khan arrived, he didn't have even an inch of military merit, which made him feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.
"General Zhao!"
Another Tanshao ride returned to the camp. As soon as the horse stopped, the Tanshao was immediately overjoyed.
"About ten miles behind, we found the remnants of the old soldier camp!"
"really?"
"I can see it clearly. The leader is riding an old horse, it is the veteran Lian Yong!"
"Several people?"
"Less than five thousand, they are all remnants of the defeated army."
"good!"
Zhao Qingyun was instantly overjoyed. In the current situation, he could only lead his army to Beidi. The guys under his left and right hands were also bastards. Cutting off the head of veteran Lian Yong was not a great achievement, but it was still a great achievement.
At least there is an explanation.
"General Zhao, if we don't investigate again, the little master will eventually see the person in life and the body in death. Don't forget, you also said that the little master is not simple." Huang Daochun persuaded hesitantly.
Zhao Qingyun sneered, "Of course I know he is not simple. But if the little boss is not dead, why don't you go with the old pawn camp? Are you afraid that I will get this military honor? Or do you want to get it yourself? Besides, I hope
If the city is destroyed and the old soldiers flee, is there any problem?"
"No problem...but I finally surrounded Hezhou. My suggestion is to wait for the army to come over first."
"When the army comes, who should get the military glory?"
Huang Daochun frowned.
"General, the old pawn camp has discovered our siege and is going back into the mountains!"
Listening to the military report from the sentry again, Zhao Qingyun could no longer care. He quickly got on his horse and led the army in pursuit.
Huang Daochun was silent for a while and then got on the horse.
To be honest, by this time, his mission had been completed and there was no problem in leaving Xiaofeng Camp.
But for some reason, he was dissatisfied with losing to that little boss. It was like playing with an eagle on the grassland for half a lifetime, but suddenly a young eagle pecked its eyes.
How should the staff circle in Saibei Grassland view him?
The horses were galloping, and the night outside Hezhou City was disturbed by the sound of horse hooves. Even the crescent moon on the treetops was so startled that it disappeared into the clouds.
Vaguely, only the lantern hanging under the horse's neck provided some light.
Zhao Qingyun raised his head, and through the light of the lantern, he could vaguely see the scenery in front of him.
Scattered flying arrows were fired from the front as if hastily responding to a challenge.
"Hang the lantern, hunt down the old soldier camp!" Zhao Qingyun gritted his teeth.
In an instant, he saw Lian Yong's face clearly. That pale old face once made him admire him one drunken night.
"Your Majesty is destined to defeat General Lian Yong!" Zhao Qingyun's face quickly filled with ecstasy.
In front of him, the chaotic and hasty footsteps were more like a death signal.
The small boss and the villagers who were once familiar with him all called him a greedy dog. So what, the world is in chaos, and the wealth and power he has acquired are the most important.
In the next life, in the next life, just be a loyal and righteous person!
