When there was no truce between Yifeng and Zhige, the envoy from Hongliang did not panic. Instead, he said: "The weak need weapons to give themselves courage, but the truly strong do not need them. Am I right?"
There were three or four people standing in the small thatched house. Except for the two generals brought by Hongliang, there was also a Yifeng man who brought them in. At this time, there was no happy emotion on his face after hearing Hongliang's words.
The messenger invisibly relaxed his posture, suppressing his deeper fear of the person in front of him.
"No need, I didn't say I didn't want it." Zang Qi took out the machete from his waist and threw it on the table, "It's okay to kill the sheep and cut the meat."
The scimitar clinked, and the envoy pinched his flesh without showing a panicked expression. After stabilizing his twitching flesh, Zang Qi continued: "It only takes one sword to kill a traitor... But I heard that you can kill two with your sword. It won’t stop.”
It was clearly a sword from the Hongliang Kingdom, but the envoy felt like he was holding a sheep-killing knife around his neck.
Others don't know, but the envoy knows very well in his heart that Yifeng's sword is not very good at forging, it all relies on thickness, but thickness means emphasis, but the tiger who can dance such a heavy sword with great success is not the only one in Hongliang Kingdom. Not many people.
Not many people can kill two of them with one sword.
"My emperor's army needs horses. Zhige is the closest, but if Yifeng can also provide the weapons, it can be transported here with just a word."
The murmuring messenger suddenly calmed down and added, as if he had found some inspiration, "Besides, Yifeng has always respected strength. If you want this weapon, shouldn't you be the one to grab it yourself?"
The weapons were in Zhige, and they didn't stop them.
Zang Qi smiled at the messenger's words, "You are right, the most important thing I should do now is to kill the traitor Solomon first, so that I can tell the world..."
Zang Qi had a smile on his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, "There is never any rule on the grassland!"
Yifeng, whether before or in the future, will be the overlord on the grassland!
The messenger was shocked.
He came here to encourage Yifeng to attack Chengzhou, but why did he now pit Yifeng against Zhige? !
If Zhige is allowed to destroy Yifeng by then or both parties are exhausted, who will attract hatred for them? How will we win the hearts and minds of those people then?
"...Good weapons are used to fight for territory, but is there only place on the grassland in this world? Those four cities to the north are the real treasures!"
The envoy wanted to turn things around, but he heard Zang Qi sneer: "To the north? Isn't that the place that Hongliang, who has good weapons, likes? Why, you guys are also helping Solomon to kill us."
The tone behind the envoy did not sound like a question, which was not a good thing to say in a grassland like Yifeng. The two soldiers behind the envoy tensed up, and the envoy said slowly: "What Hongliang Kingdom wants is Chengzhou." Guo Dan has absolutely no intention of participating in the struggle for hegemony on the grassland! But I don’t need to tell you how big the territory of Cheng Zhou is..."
"After all, don't you just want me, Yifeng, to send troops to form a Zhou Dynasty?" Zang Qi's words stopped the envoy's unspoken encouragement.
He hasn't talked about the humiliation of Yifeng's peace negotiation that year, and he hasn't talked about the arrogance of Chengzhou and the others. Why...
Everyone knows that Solomon took away the wise men, and Zhige is the only wisdom on the grassland, but now it seems...
"Give me Yifeng as many weapons as you gave Zhige, no less than one." Zang Qi sat up straight and stared at the messenger in front of him, "If you want me to make a spear from Yifeng, prepare everything."
The messenger looked at the pair of pitch-black pupils in front of him and froze, not daring to move.
It was even more frightening than the tiger in the cage he saw that year.
"well"
Zang Qi laughed in response to this, and the envoy finally recovered from his laughter. Thinking of the majesty of Emperor Liang, his scalp went numb.
This time, he did not let Yifeng become a wolf that was torn into pieces, but instead added weapons first...
"The weapons in Zhige are all replaced by horses..."
Zang Qi looked at the envoy's words and continued involuntarily: "It is reasonable for Yifeng to send troops for Hongliang Kingdom, and Hongliang Kingdom to send weapons, but now Hongliang Kingdom is also tight on weapons... Send half of it first, and then the rest. It will be sent after the war begins."
Lezhou outer city.
Before the prescription was confirmed, the news that the food was coming to the city came first.
The elders of the Bai family ordered twenty-seven doctors to accompany him into the Eighty-fourth City, and they only waited for the food to come in.
However, the day before the food arrived in the city, seven doctors were found to have high fevers. For a while, it was difficult to maintain peace in the city. The depression for many days caused many soldiers to collapse and cry.
The doctors are outsiders who came to the city. The fact that they have been infected and collapsed in the outer city shows that the current condition has not improved at all and is still spreading!
And it's only a matter of time before they do it!
Yi Jian, Li Cheng and other soldiers all came to Bai Guo to report. Bai Guo was silent for a while and said: "Let's cook a pot of mutton soup tonight and distribute it. We will pass it on. Tomorrow we will start ordering the soldiers and horses who will enter the eighty-four cities. Those who wish will choose." , Don’t force yourself if your heart is at peace.”
Only when Yan Ren is in it can he truly understand Lezhou's helplessness.
Isolated from the world, I don’t know what year it is, but the fireworks in the south of the city every day are like the king of hell laughing.
They were at a loss what to do and they were comforting the people day by day to prevent them from rioting and leaving the city. They were also transporting the cold corpses away. Occasionally Yan Ren lowered his head to look at the things passing by his hands. He would be in a trance when seeing corpses, and he would find it unbelievable.
It's just a disease, how can more people die than those on the battlefield?
If days like this continued, Yan Ren felt that he would definitely feel like a zombie, so when recording whether he was willing to enter the Eighty-fourth City, Yan Rencong refused in his heart.
His original intention was not to enter the city, he should not have appeared here in the first place.
He should return to Kyoto now, and he should prepare for the Yan family's big responsibilities...
"Who is going this time?"
"Zhang Zi, Gou Sheng, that stupid young man, and..."
"Li Cheng next to Supervisor Bai also joins?"
"Yes, there are also the nuns beside the Queen Mother and General Huang. They are all coming in."
Yan Ren heard the muffled conversation of the soldiers warming themselves by the fire in the distance. There was a long silence after the conversation.
Yan Ren felt relieved. This time, Bai Guo's chess move might not go as expected.
She thought that as long as these people went in, the soldiers would be able to overcome everything, but she didn't want to think about how people could not be afraid of death?
The fear of the past few days has already exhausted all their original foolishness and courage.
"Where's Supervisor Bai?"
"The message has been sent, but Supervisor Bai will not go. There is no list of Supervisor Bai at the doctor's side. This time Supervisor Bai will stay here."
"That's right, there is Zhizhou in the rear, but if someone breaks through here, they can go straight to Huizhou."
Silence gathered again.
Yan Ren's heart moved.
Now can be said to be a moment when all the soldiers are really in unison. If he leaves quietly at this time, other soldiers will think that he has entered Inner Eighty-Four City, and the people in Inner Eighty-Four City will think that he is staying with Bai Guo to guard. !
"General Yan, will you go in?"
Yan Ren frowned when he heard someone asking him.
Before that, he couldn't leak the news about whether he wanted to go or not, otherwise when the time came...
"I don't know. Supervisor Bai said it's voluntary."
"Then he probably won't go."
Yan Ren was stunned. He didn't understand how the words he had not yet spoken or even the things he wanted to cover up had been known to these people in advance.
"Then I'll go into town."
"I'm going to town too."
"I'm going to town too."
"I'm going to town too."
…
I don't know how many soldiers and generals in other places spoke at this time. They simply put their lives in danger.
Yan Ren didn't know how to react to the echoes one after another, and he didn't know how to speak out among the echoes one after another.
The mutton soup in his hand seemed to have cooled down, but the mutton soup in his stomach made his body unusually warm. He couldn't pretend to be frozen even if he wanted to.
Yan Ren couldn't ask why.
He knew it in his heart.
Compared with Pang Yang, he is the one who has been in the military camp the longest. He has seen far more than Pang Yang has seen. How could he not understand this scene now?
Can……
Yan Ren was confused for a moment.
Why was he born into the Yan family, which had been loyal for generations, inferior to these small soldiers and generals at this time?
Does he lack bravery? Is he afraid of death? Is he afraid of leaving his body in the wilderness?
How many plagues has he fought off on the battlefield?
Then why didn't he go to Inner Eighty-Four City?
Yan Ren's eyes gradually changed.
The reason he didn't go to Inner Eighty-Four City was because the Yan family no longer wanted to be a military commander.
The Yan family no longer wants to fight on the battlefield to maintain its current honor.
If a whole family of loyal men cannot be exchanged for a marquis, then he will kill him!
"Everyone wants to leave a way out for themselves, but there are so many stupid people." Girl Seventeen stood in front of the window and watched this scene for a long time before sighing, "They just know that if they take a step forward, there will be no one behind. Only then can we feel safe.”
Gingguo placed the newly processed herbs next to him, and the prescription in his hand was once again missing a medicine.
"Then who do you think is the smart person?"
Bai Guo's question made Girl Seventeen turn around and look at Bai Guo, "I should ask you this, right?!"
Bai Guo put down the pen in his hand, "You should ask them this."
After the girl was stunned for a moment, she really thought about it. She really wanted to ask them what they thought.
"Who is going to be with you? Li Cheng? Can I ask him?"
Ging Guo rubbed his swollen temples, "He's right outside."
Girl Seventeen walked out of the inner room and into the outer room in a few steps. Li Cheng's ears were so good that he had already heard it before Girl Seventeen came out, but when Girl Seventeen stood in front of him, he still had no answer.
Who is the smart person?
Are they left behind?
If you were really smart, why would you choose to come in?
People from outside the city?
How smart are they?
Li Cheng couldn't answer, so he subconsciously avoided the eyes of the seventeenth girl, but he heard the seventeenth girl ask him: "Have you eaten?"
Li Cheng paused and replied: "I just drank mutton soup."
