The white smoke gradually turned into black smoke. What kind of smoke was it? It was obviously the smoke of a wolf! Qing Meng broke through this sentence and then added: "Is this trying to lure us over? The smoke must rise from the mountain gate."
"Shi Yuan is a mediocre man. Besides, Shi Ren doesn't survey the terrain, so he can't understand the military situation at all, and he can't quickly arrive at the battlefield to ambush. What is there to be afraid of?" Before Lou Ning left, he took a pair of straw sandals as a spare, waved his hand and marched, Mu Ming
Rui followed him without letting him notice.
But there was one thing that Lou Ning did not expect. That was that Zhang Cai first learned about the 80,000 soldiers who sneaked back to defend the country, and then learned that Chang Yun was killed by him. According to his speculation, Lou Ning must have seen it.
The inside story.
Zhang Cai pretended to be panic and broke into Wang Fu's palace. At this time, Wang Fu was dancing with his sword. The sudden opening of the door startled him. Zhang Cai knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crime!" After saying this,
, tears fell like rain. Wang Fu was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly helped Zhang Cai: "Why is Prime Minister Zhang like this? Get up quickly and tell me." Zhang Cai wiped away his tears with his old bark-like hands, and then used his regretful words to express his regret.
He said in a tone of voice: "I shouldn't have recommended this Lou Ning, but who would have thought that he was so ambitious that he sent 80,000 soldiers back to the court to usurp the throne!"
Wang Fu's hand trembled, and his sword was stuck on the ground. "Lou Ning holds the army of the whole country, what can I do to stop him!" Wang Fu sat on the bed frustrated and said with his hands down. Zhang Cai curled his lips and walked away.
He stepped forward and said, pretending to be consoling, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this. The old minister has a plan. I wonder if Your Majesty can use it."
"Speak quickly, Prime Minister." Wang Fu looked at him as if he was seeing a savior.
Zhang Cai was silent;
"Let's talk. What should we do?" Wang Fu said, pulling Zhang Cai's clothes.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Cai said slowly: "We can first test whether General Lou really has a rebellious heart. If General Lou is ordered to take back the soldiers, if he obeys, it will not be rebellion; if he insists on leading the troops back to the court, it will not be rebellion."
So he put his wife, children, and children under house arrest. By then he will no longer be able to help him." Wang Fu had already been shocked and lost his mind, so how could he care about anything else? Wang Fu repeatedly promised and immediately ordered that Lou Ning's wife, children, and children be put under house arrest.
Under house arrest.
Of course, Lou Ning, who was far in the north, did not notice this. Marching outside the mountain pass, he hesitated. He remembered that what Qing Meng had just said seemed to make some sense. He wanted to stretch his head and take a look, but he was overwhelmed by the mountains full of rocks and mountains.
The winding mountains block the view.
"What Zhang Qingmeng said just now is indeed reasonable. If Shi Yuan ambush on the mountain pass, I will be in a dilemma and will definitely lose." But when he looked back, the soldiers were serious and did not dare to rest. Everything was exhausted.
It is Lou Ning's strict military laws that keep everything in order no matter how many troops there are.
Lou Ning gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: "How can Zhang Qingmeng be so satisfied? Look at me crossing this mountain pass." The sound of marching footsteps echoed throughout the mountain.
The autumn wind always comes without any holiday, and there is another gust of cold wind. Lou Ning's face and hands are so cold that they crack and bleed, but he does not say a word at all, because he knows that every word and deed of a general may have an impact.
He didn't want the morale of the entire army to be unstable because of him. He could only use his frozen hands to gently touch the wounds on his face.
"It's freezing..." Lou Ning exhaled and said with a smile. The other hand was holding the reins, as if they were glued to each other. After a while, Lou Ning looked back and saw a naked soldier.
I don't know where my feet and helmet fell. My feet were covered in blood and I was moving with difficulty.
Lou Ning couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he pulled away his hands that seemed to be frozen on the reins, jumped off the horse, and signaled to stop marching. Just when everyone was confused, Lou Ning did something that shocked everyone - as a general,
He actually gave the helmet and leather boots to the shivering, barefoot, unknown soldier. The soldier quickly knelt down and said, "How dare I, an ordinary soldier, dirty the general's leather boots and helmet?"
"Soldiers and generals all have the same parents and skin. Your parents entrusted you to me, and you are all my children. Seeing your children suffering will make your parents heartbroken. How can I bear it..." Lou Ning insisted...
He had to give him boots and a helmet, and he personally put on the boots and helmet for him.
"But, I put on my leather boots, where are you, general?" the soldier said worriedly.
"Me? I have a pair of straw sandals with me. As for the helmet, I won't wear it. It's very heavy." Lou Ning took out a pair of straw sandals from his pocket and tied them on his feet: "Look, do they fit well?"
Generals should be rare!" Lou Ning looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, turning back to mount his horse. Although the bodies of the soldiers were cold, their hearts were warm because of the "straw-shoe general" smiling. Unknowingly,
After a while, the affectionate title "General Straw Shoes" quickly spread.
Justifiable

When this team was marching in high spirits, countless arrows suddenly flew from all directions. Everyone was caught off guard and had no time to escape, resulting in heavy casualties. Lou Ning drew his sword to fend off the fierce locusts, but in an instant,
A straight arrow suddenly hit Lou Ning's right shoulder. Lou Ning yelled in pain, turned over and fell off his horse.
He turned over with all his strength, gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow. Red blood was flowing at the arrowhead. "Hahaha, I didn't expect that there would be another idiot defeated by me on this mountain pass!" Lou Ning
Looking up, he saw this man wrapped in silver armor, with a face like a wooden stake and a sinister brow and rat eyes. Lou Ning endured the pain and yelled: "Who is coming?"
"Xiao Bei Wang Shi Ren!" This roar like a thunderous explosion echoed in the valley, and everyone present was frightened. Lou Ning even shivered and collapsed on the ground with blood flowing from his mouth. "Shi Ren... I didn't expect...
I didn’t expect that I would fall into your trap today…”
"Don't coax me. Normal people should understand that there are easily ambushes on the mountain pass trail, but a fool like you took the bait!" Shi Ren explained arrogantly: "Is it difficult to understand why I came to Yongzhou so quickly? It's because of something.
I was stationed in the city from the beginning, and what was spread was just false news, that is to say, all my soldiers from across the country were stationed in Yongzhou." Lou Ning angrily held a handful of soil with his left hand, but unfortunately his body felt as if he had been electrocuted.
Paralysis, difficulty moving.
Shi Ren opened his eyes wide and said in a mocking tone: "I rewarded you with a poisonous arrow. Remember to thank me when you get down there~" Lou Ning was naturally furious and regretful, but it was already irreversible. He
I closed my despairing eyes, one step away from death.
"Hey!" A horse's thundering roar frightened everyone's hearts. They saw a golden-armored general holding a golden gun and riding a black horse. He rushed towards the military formation regardless of the danger. He cut a bloody path and the black horse galloped.
Like lightning; the golden general reined in the reins, and the black horse stopped beside Lou Ning's right hand, panting.
"General Lou, how are you?" Lou Ning raised his head with difficulty and took a look. He was wearing a golden armor and a handsome face. Under the slightly convex brows, he had a pair of pupils that were as deep as thousand-year-old ice. His thin lips were slightly soft.
Looking cold - it is General Mu Mingrui.
"Shi Yuan, come on! Get rid of him!" Shi Ren ordered, pulling out his sword and retreating. Shi Yuan roared like a bear, jumped on his horse, swung his huge mace and rushed over.
.
When Mu Mingrui saw that Lou Ning couldn't move, he knew that he couldn't let the battle rest. Before Shi Ren's army could adjust, Mu Mingrui lifted Lou Ning onto his horse with an upside-down golden hook and rushed straight out of the mountain pass.
But who would have thought that Shi Yuan's horse was also a good horse, and he caught up with Mu Mingrui within a short while. The big mace came swinging towards him, and Mu Mingrui hurriedly lowered his head, turned around and stabbed him with a "Che!"
This manic beast.
Just when he was about to pierce Shi Yuan's heart, Shi Yuan jumped into the air with a "Whoop!", swung the mace with both hands and knocked Mu Mingrui away with a heavy blow. The golden-armored general was mercilessly thrown to the ground.
On the boulder on the side, Lou Ning lost his balance and couldn't hold on, and fell off the horse. The two horses just panted on the spot and kicked their legs.
"Good job, Shi Yuan, tear him to pieces!" Shi Ren shouted cheers from the side, which greatly inspired Shi Yuan's stupidity, raised his mace and ran towards Mu Mingrui.
Mu Mingrui felt a stream of hot blood pouring into his mouth, mixed with saliva and slowly flowing down uncontrollably. "Suffer death!" As the crisis approached step by step, Mu Mingrui held his hand on the plate.
Long Jinqiang stood up with difficulty, breathing heavily, staring at Shi Yuan with his cold eyes.
"Ahhhhh!" Mu Mingrui opened his bloody mouth and vowed to fight the ferocious beast in front of him to the end. With the roar, Mu Mingrui pulled out the Coiling Dragon Golden Spear, like a warrior who calmly faced death.
He rushed forward as well.
"Cang!" The two solid weapons collided together. Shi Yuan got mad and swung the mace again. Every impact was extremely heavy and difficult to withstand, as heavy as a meteor falling to the ground. Although Mu Mingrui
He barely managed to fend off a few blows, but as the shocks came one after another, his strength became less and less. Finally, he could not withstand the last shock and was shaken back a few steps.
Shi Yuan knew how to seize the opportunity, or he may have been fighting randomly. He took advantage of the moment of retreat and hit his left rib. Mu Mingrui spat out blood and fell to the ground with a scream.
He slowly opened his eyes. The world in front of him had become dark, as if covered with a layer of fog and frost. The shadow of the beast had become blurry in his field of vision. He tried his best to stand up.
, breathing heavily, but his injured body could not support his only simple wish to stand up.
At this time, a thought flashed through his mind: Die! If you die, you won't have to endure such pain, and you won't have to suffer in this era of intrigues and fame and fortune.

Exhausted...
Shi Yuan walked up to him, stepped on Mu Mingrui's head, and smiled in a contemptuous tone: "Boy, are you dead now?" Shi Yuan opened his arms again and shouted at the entire army: "
Is this the famous general of the Haibo Empire? He is so weak!" There was a smile of victory at the corner of his mouth. Looking back, Mu Mingrui was slowly getting up while supporting his body with his hands.
"Go to hell!" Shi Yuan kicked Mu Mingrui mercilessly and rolled him aside. "Ah!" Mu Mingrui roared desperately. It turned out that Shi Yuan's kick was premeditated - he
He kicked Mu Mingrui's injured left rib squarely!
Although he was wearing golden armor, the spikes on the mace could not hurt him to any extent. But the powerful shocks were enough to make him miserable. The blood on his hair fell drop by drop, flowing into the
In his eyes, Mu Mingrui gave up resistance. Resistance was futile anyway. He might as well just accept his fate. This was his own strength. He completely collapsed in a pool of blood. At this moment, his life was not dead. He
My heart is dead.
Shi Yuan raised his mace and looked back to see Lou Ning still breathing heavily. "Okay, I'll kill you first, and then I'll kill this general in name only!" Shi Yuan walked over step by step.
, Lou Ning's heart was beating wildly, and every footsteps was as shocking as an earthquake, but he still stared fiercely at the beast in front of him - he hadn't given in yet!
"I will...send you to hell to rest in peace now!" Lou Ning saw the ruthless hammer gradually approaching him, but his eyes remained firm, without giving in at all.
"I'll fight you!" A soldier wearing leather boots and holding a dagger shouted wildly and pushed Shi Yuan away, dragging Lou Ning aside little by little.
Just a few minutes ago, they were attacked by flying arrows. He saw Lou Ning being hit by flying arrows, but he still did not dare to step forward. His inner inferiority and fear took over. He stepped on like a madman.
He was holding the soldiers of his own army and wanted to escape from here; just when he was only one step away from escaping the siege, he was shaken; he remembered what had just happened, and remembered that the general's skin was cracked by the cold but he was willing to put his leather boots and helmet on.
Leave it to him. Thinking of this, he ran back desperately. What was left on his face could not be distinguished from sweat or tears.
Shi Yuan raised the mace again and was so angry that he broke a steel tooth: "Who are you? How dare a soldier go against me without running for his life!"
"If I run away, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!" the soldier shouted. No one thought that this introverted and cowardly soldier would actually give his life to save others.
"Want to be a hero? Then I will help you!" Shi Yuan rushed forward. A gust of wind blew, and a dark cloud rushed over from the northern sky, mixed with streaks of lightning and bursts of thunder. In an instant, strong winds and dark clouds
It filled the sky, and then huge raindrops fell from the sky, and there was another thunderbolt, deafening. In an instant, the raindrops connected into a line, and with a crash, the heavy rain poured down from the sky like the sky collapsed.
When we came down, the big trees on the mountain were broken by the violent wind and rolled down the mountain.
Shi Yuan was not discouraged. He grabbed the edge of the sword and kicked the soldier down with another horizontal kick. Shi Yuan broke the dagger with his hand and kept kicking the soldier mercilessly with his feet. The soldier kicked Shi Yuan away while crying.
, stood up and fought with him. But how could this thin soldier be a match for a strong beast? Shi Yuan threw him to the ground with a shoulder throw, picked up the mace and walked towards Lou Ning. The soldier did not flinch.
Meaning, his throat cried out blood, his hands were shaking, he picked up a stone and hit Shi Yuan on the head, leaving blood on his head. Shi Yuan angrily struck the soldier with a mace,
"Bang!" Suddenly, the soldier was shaken and flew up. His mouth was bleeding. Lou Ning cried loudly: "You idiot! Why do you have to come up?" There was another thunder, and the soldier would
Turning his head towards Lou Ning, he smiled...
"No!" Lou Ning cried out. He desperately wanted to stand up, but the poison had already begun to take effect and became more and more powerful.
"It's so touching, hahahahaha!" Shi Ren stood in the rain, clapped his hands and said happily: "Give him the final blow, quickly."
Mu Mingrui looked helplessly at an extremely ordinary soldier who could still fight to the last moment for others. Mu Mingrui lowered his head.
In front of others, he is just a stupid soldier who is desperate for his life. But in Mu Mingrui's view, he has defeated his fear, he can risk his life to fight for others, he is a hero; who would have thought that in
In this thin body, a heroic heart beat. Shi Yuan pointed at the dying Lou Ning and raised the mace.
But at this time, Mu Mingrui raised his blood-stained hand and tightened his grip on the Coiling Dragon Golden Spear that was still shining in the rain...
