The report of the attack by the leader of the Five Jue who lived on the top of Nangong Mountain finally returned to the imperial capital with the remaining Five-Level Army. Although many of the Five-Level Army were lost in this battle, and all the Knocking Mountain Bows were destroyed, the officials in the DPRK obviously It was time to calm down; the snow flakes in the past two days seemed to be coming one after another, and it was like winter turning to spring, slowly thinning out, and there were only a few scattered pieces of documents sent from the extremely far distance from the imperial city every day, which was quite a surprise. The imperial city defenders felt uncomfortable for a while and leaned on the city wall doing nothing.
"Brother Gao, we have been under lockdown in Huixi for nearly ten days. Many merchants and officials have been blocked outside the imperial city. It seems to be a little inconvenient. I don't know when I will be able to escape this storm. It's too bad. Now." The guard sergeant stretched his waist and legs and said to the man holding a sword beside him, bored.
"Wait a minute, who told you that my surname is Gao?" The man holding the sword asked the sergeant to frown and replied angrily.
But the young sergeant didn't take it seriously. He grinned and said, "Except ordinary soldiers like us who are guarding the imperial city, and then there are you masters. If the master brother calls me Shunsui, of course he is brother Gao. Is there nothing wrong with him?"
The man holding the sword was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. Yi Zhang has always been very strict in running the army. From the generals and commanders down to the ordinary soldiers, most of them have resolute faces and the smell of blood in their bodies. But now that I have been in Yi Zhang for several years, I find that Yi Zhang's military armor seems to be more elegant than elsewhere. He wanted to be more lively, so he also deliberately laughed with the young sergeant and said, "Come on, I can't see that in two days, Yizhang will be lifted from the ban. What a wise and generous king he is, who can Jin Yi goes out on patrol during the most turbulent time of the year, and now that most of the chaos has been resolved, it’s not too far to leave the city.”
The sergeant curled his lips and said, "Come on, I think we are still far away from Kaicheng. We have to wait until all the news about this matter has passed before we can open the city gate. Anyone in this world can take risks, but how can any monarch personally take risks?" reason?"
The man holding the sword was stunned, turned around and asked, "Why can't the monarch alone take risks?"
"Brother Gao is a cultivator, so it is best to be free from worries. All he wants is the word Tao. Of course, he has no way of knowing things in the world, or he is far away from the world." The young sergeant took out a coin from his arms. He threw the green and hard berries into his mouth, chewed them hard, and said vaguely, "The leader of the family must not fall, otherwise his wife, children, and children will starve to death. The general of an army must not escape, otherwise the army will be demoralized and the battle will not be fought." , in a country, the king does not tolerate danger. If the king goes wrong, the country is not far from destruction."
The man thought for a moment and realized that this seemed to be the case, so he smiled and said, "That makes sense, did you think of it yourself?"
"Anyone who intercepts Yizhang's army will know this truth. Except for the young masters who came to the palace of princes and officials to put gold paper on the army, no one started from a humble soldier. In fact, ordinary people understand this little truth. , It’s just that noble princes and practitioners like you have never put themselves in the situation of the common people.”
The berries seemed to have some juice, but they couldn't be chewed at all, let alone swallowed. However, the sergeant still chewed them with gusto, his cheeks kept moving, and he said cheerfully, "Don't be unwilling to listen, I This is just a few words, why do you, a cultivator, stand in the position of ordinary people? When I say it, you feel happy, just like me chewing this fruit, not trying to resist hunger, just sipping the taste."
The man holding the sword nodded, "My name is Zhuang Dao."
The sergeant chuckled and said, "My name is Doctor Wu. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you."
Zhuang Dao looked outside the city and smiled slightly, "It seems that I have a better chance of winning this time."
Outside the imperial city, tens of thousands of troops were marching, and dust was flying.
Looking from the top of the city, we can see that the flags cover the sky, the soldiers are like thorns, and the horse paths for dozens or hundreds of miles outside the city are filled to the brim. The shining armor can reflect the sun.
The means that Emperor Quan sent to Nangong Mountain were that in addition to the five-scale army knocking mountain crossbows, there were still 100,000 heavy armor stationed outside Nangong Mountain.
"This is the handiwork of our Majesty Yizhang." Doctor Wu took a deep breath, but when Zhuang Dao looked at him, the young sergeant's face was filled with a ferocious smile, "Even if Nangong Mountain is destroyed by others, ten The bows and crossbows carried by Ten Thousand Heavy Armors can still make several holes in the opponent's body. It is a dream of the Spring and Autumn Period to get an advantage in Yizhang territory and escape intact."
"You are right, boy. It is indeed a great dream of the Spring and Autumn Period." Two figures suddenly appeared on the top of the city, one old and one young. The young man's eyebrows were cold and hard, but the old man was kind and patted Doctor Wu on the shoulder, "I Zhi Yi Zhang, I am really lucky to have sergeants like you."
Doctor Wu, who was still grinning ferociously just now, bowed his head when he heard the old man's words.
The old man smiled heartily and said, "There are no outsiders on the city wall, and I don't wear yellow robes. I am just a plain man, so I don't need to worry about the complicated etiquette. After all, Yizhang is not at peace these days. It's you guys who are doing the hard work."
The man holding the sword also bowed and saluted, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Doctor Wu actually getting up and standing next to the old emperor Yizhang, and he immediately felt a little strange.
Where are these little pawns who don’t understand the world? Emperor Quan stood up immediately after being asked to stand up. Normally, he had to hold on for two breaths no matter what, and then raised his head. How could there be such a person who stood up in such a hurry just after he opened his mouth?
But Doctor Wu just got up and smiled with the old man who held the most power in the country, "Your Majesty, of course our city guards are not tired. At most, it's because of the city's closure. The supply of fresh Huailang fruit is in short supply. All the brothers in the army are addicted to food, so now they have no choice but to choose sun-dried fruits to satisfy their craving for the time being, but other than that, I have no other complaints."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Doctor Wu looked embarrassed, quickly turned his head, spit out the tasteless Huailangguo into his palm, and then bowed again.
This move made the old man shrug his shoulders and laugh again, "Boy, when I was in the army, I also enjoyed chewing this Huailang fruit. But as I got older, I realized that this fruit is indeed addictive. But my teeth are very bad, otherwise with my strong body, I wouldn’t have any taboos, so it’s better to eat less.”
The young sergeant nodded and raised his hand, "The villain will give away those Huailangguos he secretly hid after the battle to get rid of this addiction."
"That's right." After saying this, the old man climbed up to the top of the city tower, rushed toward the outside of the city and waved lightly.
The hundred thousand heavy armors gathered from all over Yizhang, like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea. After the old man waved his hand, they dispersed like hundreds of rivers flowing back to all parts of Yizhang.
With one hand hundreds of rivers converge, with the other hand wars disperse.
Not a single stick of incense was left, and the corridor outside the city was empty, except for the smoke and dust that lingered around.
"I actually came to see Zhuang Dao today to discuss something. Tomorrow, I will go to the Army and Horse Department to collect the reward. If I remember correctly, you have been a captain for many years. You are capable enough to command troops. By the way, you will be promoted. Level one.”
Doctor Wu kowtowed again.
It was clearly an ordinary small school guarding the city, but the old man remembered it flawlessly.
It seems that I have been talking about it for many years.
