At the end of his speech, Li Dao looked at Hou Yuanliang and said, "General Hou, there should be no problem with my explanation."
Hou Yuanliang gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "I don't think as thoroughly as you do. Your explanation is much more comprehensive than mine."
After Zhao Tong and others heard these words, the injustice in their hearts calmed down. As long as the barbarians who escaped felt uncomfortable.
At this time, Hou Yuanliang suddenly said, "Commander, since the Northern Barbarian army has been defeated, you can figure out how to arrange it next."
Li Dao said bluntly, "Old General Hou, the Northern Barbarian army has been defeated. I, the temporary commander, should be returned to you."
Hou Yuanliang smiled slightly, waved his hands and said, "Let's forget it. I've struggled with my old bones for so long and I've had enough. It's better to leave these things to you young people."
"Is this appropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate."
Hou Yuanliang glanced at the others and asked directly, "Do you think it's appropriate?"
Hearing this, one of the disabled generals from Fufeng Pass nodded and said, "Of course."
Looking at nothing else but his strength, Li Dao has already conquered everyone present.
Hearing this, Li Dao glanced at the generals of Fufeng Pass, and finally landed on Hou Yuanliang, then he clasped his fists and said, "Since you all express your love, Li will no longer refuse."
He looked at the small snowflakes slowly falling from the sky and said, "It's going to snow again soon. You should go back to the city first."
"Yes, Commander!"
...
Soon after, under the leadership of Li Dao, the group entered Fufeng Pass.
This is not the first time he has come to Fufeng Pass. He also passed by Fufeng Pass on his way to report to the camp in Huangsha Town, but he didn't make any stop because he was in a hurry. Only now did he get a formal glimpse of Fufeng Pass.
After entering Fufeng Pass, Li Dao suddenly noticed that many buildings had been dismantled.
After noticing Li Dao's gaze, a general explained, "At that time, in order to survive, we had to demolish the house to go out in the cold."
Li Dao nodded, and then said, "Then there is no need to dismantle it later."
"Don't dismantle it?"
The general explained, "If we don't dismantle it, what will happen in a few days?"
Li Dao paused and then said, "Aren't the corpses outside the customs not used for making fire and heating?"
"With more than 10,000 corpses, we should be able to burn them for a long time."
All the soldiers: "???"
...
Soon, the group arrived in front of a mansion in Fufeng Pass.
As soon as they arrived outside the mansion, a figure suddenly walked out of the mansion.
"Barbarian, I will fight with you today!"
The figure rushed out, holding a long gun in his hand and shouting.
Outside the door, Li Dao and others were startled when they saw the people rushing out.
Among them, after Zhao Tong saw the figure clearly, he couldn't help but joked, "Mr. Zheng, what kind of trick are you playing?"
The person who came was none other than the old military doctor who stayed in the mansion to treat the serious illness.
At this moment, he was no longer as mature and steady as before. Holding a long knife in his hand, he seemed to have turned into a qualified iron-blooded old soldier at this moment. He was full of murderous aura but still had the appearance of a military doctor.
"you......"
Under Zhao Tong's words, Mr. Zheng came to his senses, looked at the people in front of him with a look of disbelief, and said, "Didn't you already go to fight with the barbarians? Why are you here?"
"Is it possible that you are already dead? Are you here just to wait for me to go on the road with you?"
At this point, the old military doctor suddenly became murderous again, and said bluntly, "You guys wait here first, I have to take away a few barbarians temporarily."
As a result, before he took two steps, Zhao Tong quickly grabbed his hand and stopped him, "I said Mr. Zheng, we are not dead yet, and there is no need for you to take away a few barbarians, because the barbarians have already been killed." .”
"Retired?"
"Uh-huh."
Zhao Tong nodded repeatedly.
Mr. Zheng sensed the physical feeling and was sure that the person in front of him was alive, but he continued to ask another question, "The barbarians have tens of thousands of troops. What did you use to kill them?"
Zhao Tong explained, "It depends on our new commander. If you don't believe me, just ask General Hou and the others."
Mr. Zheng looked and found that Hou Yuanliang and others nodded to him.
Finally, his eyes fell on Li Dao.
"You are their new commander-in-chief? So young?"
Suddenly, Mr. Zheng frowned, his cloudy eyes condensed, and he muttered to himself, "Why do you look so familiar to me?"
Hearing this, Li Dao did not speak, but smiled slightly and stretched out his wrist in front of Mr. Zheng.
Mr. Zheng habitually put two fingers on Li Dao's wrist. His expression was stunned for a second, and he looked at Li Dao with disbelief and said, "It's you!"
"Recognize it?"
"Of course I recognize it. I have felt the pulse for so many years, and you have the strongest pulse."
This scene stunned the surrounding people.
They have seen people recognize women by smelling their scent, but they have never seen anyone recognize them by their pulse. Today, they have become more knowledgeable.
At this time, Mr. Zheng suddenly looked stunned and said, "If I remember correctly, you just joined the army a few months ago, how could you suddenly become the new commander-in-chief?"
Li Dao couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He could only say that everything happened suddenly.
Suddenly, Mr. Zheng didn't know what he thought of, and he exclaimed, "It's not good!"
Li Dao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zheng Laoyi clapped his hands and said, "It's General Shen who is in trouble!"
"What?"
Before Li Dao could react, the remaining generals at Fufeng Pass had already begun to get nervous.
Hou Yuanliang stood up and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zheng, what happened to General Shen?"
Mr. Zheng explained, "Just a few hours ago, that kid Qi Sheng suddenly ran back."
Qi Sheng!
Hearing Mr. Zheng mention this name, everyone remembered that there was another person who ran away when they were struggling to guard the gate.
Then, Mr. Zheng continued, "As soon as Qi Sheng came back, he told him that Fufeng Pass was broken by barbarians, and then he wanted to take General Shen away."
"so......"
Mr. Zheng nodded helplessly, "What I said was wrong was that I was talking about Qi Sheng taking away General Shen."
Hou Yuanliang's face darkened and he said bluntly, "How dare he! Doesn't he know that General Shen is seriously poisoned and is already dying? In this case, he dares to take people away casually."
Mr. Zheng sighed and said, "Normally speaking, Qi Sheng's approach is not wrong. If you didn't hold Fufeng Pass, it would be useless to stay here in General Shen's situation. The problem now is that you have already guarded Fufeng Pass. In this way, Come on, that kid is just tormenting General Shen in vain."
Hou Yuanliang quickly continued to ask, "Will it affect General Shen?"
Mr. Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded, "How can there be no impact? If you stay here and any special circumstances arise, I can still take care of it. If General Shen is taken away, then everything can only be said to be left to fate."
Upon hearing this, Hou Yuanliang and others became even more angry.
Zhao Tong suddenly asked, "Mr. Zheng, how long has Qi Sheng been away?"
"About three hours."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly lost hope.
Three hours was enough for Qi Sheng to reach a position where they couldn't catch up.
"It's better to send someone to catch up."
At this time, Li Dao on the side suddenly spoke.
Hou Yuanliang smiled bitterly and said, "Commander, it's already too late. In three hours, Qi Sheng will probably reach Yunqi City."
Li Dao looked at the crowd and said slowly, "If this is the case, then we should pursue them even more."
"Although I don't know who this Qi Sheng you are talking about is, he ran away when you were in a desperate situation. When he ran away, he not only took away General Shen, but also brought some bad things with him. Information."
After hearing this, Hou Yuanliang and others understood instantly.
This Qi Sheng still has the words "defeated at Fufeng Pass" on his body. If anything happens, they at Fufeng Pass will be embarrassed.
A group of people immediately clasped their fists and said, "Commander, please give the order."
Li Dao scanned the crowd and selected a general who was not seriously injured to be responsible for pursuing Qi Sheng.
...
at the same time.
On the road from Fufeng Pass to Yunqi City, a horse was galloping on it.
There are two figures sitting on the horse, one is driving the horse in front, and the other is tied and leaning in the back.
These two figures were none other than Qi Sheng and Shen Chong who had escaped from Fufeng Pass three hours ago.
After riding for a while, he controlled the horse and slowly stopped at the side of the road and dismounted.
He looked back at the direction of Fufeng Pass and said to himself, "No one will catch up for now."
Afterwards, he took out a water bag from his horse and opened it, and a faint scent of wine came out.
The reason why it is wine instead of water is because winter goes better with wine.
"call!"
He raised his head and took a big sip, exhaling a long breath of white air.
Maybe it was because the alcohol was a bit strong and he drank a bit too hard, so his face quickly turned red.
"Damn Northern Barbarians."
Under the influence of Jiu Jin and what he had experienced during this period, Qi Sheng felt very stressed. He could no longer control himself and cursed in a vented manner.
Originally, he thought that he would take over the position of his master, and then work quietly for a few years, gilding his qualifications, and then find connections to be transferred back to the imperial capital to find a good position.
But he never thought that Beiman would cause such a big trouble for him.
Thinking of his anger, he picked up the wine bag and took another sip.
This bite reminded him of the scene outside Fufeng Pass not long ago.
This time he couldn't help but yelled, "A bunch of bastards, really a bunch of bastards."
"You've obviously lost, why are you still standing there? Wouldn't it be better to run with me? Does staying there make you look noble?"
"No! You are just a bunch of fools, idiots."
At this time, from the corner of his eye, he saw the heavy body on the horse that was seriously injured and unconscious. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly couldn't help laughing. He laughed and said to himself with red eyes, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I should have said You guys died a good death, a very good death."
"How can you help me if you don't die?"
"How can I make up stories if you don't die!"
"Watch, when I bring the heavy weight back, not only will I not be held responsible for leaving the prison, but I will be honored."
"And you will just turn into pieces of wooden signs."
After that, Qi Sheng let himself go more and more as he drank strong drinks.
Not only did he start muttering to himself, insulting and complaining about the Northern Barbarians and the soldiers who defended Fufeng Pass to the death.
In the end, even the heavy person who was unconscious next to him did not let go.
It wasn't until he drank all the wine in the wine bag that he gradually calmed down.
As a gust of cold wind blew by, Qi Sheng, who had been dazed by strong alcoholic drinks, gradually came to his senses.
Thinking that he still had to hurry, he used the innate Qi in his body to dissolve the alcohol.
"call!"
Sighing out the breath of alcohol, Qi Sheng got back on his horse.
After tying up the unconscious Shen Sheng, he said slowly, "Shen Heng, you must not die too early. If you die too early, my achievements will be greatly reduced."
After saying this, he flicked his whip and the horses continued to head towards Yunqi City along the ancient road.
However, what Qi Sheng didn't notice was that when he spoke, his heavily closed eyelids trembled slightly.
