When we arrived outside the large military camp again, the sky gradually became lighter, a new morning came, and the air became fresher. Except for a few groups of soldiers patrolling back and forth, the camp was quiet, and a few wisps of silk drifted from the extinguished campfire from time to time. cigarette.
Pulling the reins in front of the camp, the hunchback slowed down and I let out a long yawn. Although I slept from noon to night yesterday, I was starting to feel a little sleepy after a busy night...
Slowly entering the camp, I found Zhou Guangquan at the team member's tent, asked him for a big steamed bun for breakfast, and asked him to find Yan Yangyi, and he left in compliance.
After leaving the tent, I poured some cold water on my face to keep myself awake. I took the steamed buns and gave them to Euxu and Xiaoyan. They had no appetite, so I found a rock to sit down and started chewing.
I don’t know if he is really hungry, but the steamed buns are getting more and more fragrant as he chews them. He is gnawing vigorously, and Yan Yangyi comes over with Zhou Guangquan. Lao Yi looks at me with an uneasy expression, his legs are shaking slightly, and his walking posture is a bit weird. Especially when I looked at him, his movements became even weirder. He almost walked with the same feet and hands... Was he nervous?
When he came to me, he trembled all over for a few times, then suddenly threw himself on the ground and grabbed my thigh: "Master Luantong, it was my fault before, na na na, I thought about it again and again last night, I find you are the person I admire the most in my life! If I had listened to you earlier, so many soldiers would not have been injured. From now on, I will listen to you all the time..." He said so excitedly.
Oh my god! ~I was so shocked that the steamed buns almost flew away! Is this a serious thigh hug? It’s too direct! ~
I quickly stood up and helped him: "Master Yi, you don't have to be like this... Oops!~" I was hit by a stone, my foot slipped, I lost my balance, and I threw myself at him...
"Bang!~" I threw a dog to grab the food, and put one hand on Lao Yi's body. I quickly got up and patted the dust on my body in embarrassment.
Hey~ Where is my remaining half of the steamed bun?
Lao Yi was chewing something in his mouth and looked at me sheepishly...
Damn, the steamed bun was stuffed directly into his mouth? This, this, this...
Zhou Guangquan stood next to him with his eyes wide open. Yu Xu and Xiaoyan stared at me in surprise, as if they were asking: Did you do this on purpose? ~
"City Lord Yi, I want to ask you for help with something..." I hurriedly diverted everyone's attention.
"Uh-huh, %...*%%￥" Lao Yi slurred while chewing the steamed bun.
I scratched the back of my head: "Well, you go pick a few reliable confidants. There is an important matter that I need you to cooperate with."
"Hmm, um, um..." Lao Yi seemed to be choked and kept patting his chest.
Zhou Guangquan quickly went back to the tent and got a glass of water for him. He took it and drank it down: "Ah~ so happy~" He put down the cup and bowed slightly to me respectfully: "Yes, as long as you ask me, I will do my best." . Well, sir, there is no need to be polite, just call me Lao Yi."
Haha, Lao Yi really has principles. Once he turns a corner, he will move forward bravely; by the way, I have always called you Lao Yi in my heart.
"Can you find three suits of armor suitable for the generals we wear? The kind that are not too conspicuous." I pointed at myself, Yu Xu and Xiao Yan.
"This is easy to handle. There are many of them in the army." Lao Yi replied.
"What about that? I still know a little bit about strategy and tactics, but this military affairs... First of all, I don't know your army very well. Secondly, I am also a big girl who has been on the sedan chair for a while. How about you give me some help? Can I explain it in detail?" I looked at Lao Yi slightly embarrassed.
Lao Yi hesitated for a moment: "Well... well, I can't explain it clearly for a while... Well, I'll recommend someone to you. He wanted to make friends with you after the battle last night. My friend, you've been chatting with me for a long time. He is a master here and can give you a shot. I'll be back as soon as I go." He said and ran quickly towards the army camp.
yeah? Is there such a thing?
"Brother Zhou, go gather the brothers and make some preparations." I said to Zhou Guangquan.
"Yeah, okay." Zhou Guangquan turned around and walked towards the team members' camp.
After a while, Lao Yi came over with a middle-aged man. This man was holding a goose feather fan. He had elegant eyebrows and an extraordinary bearing. You could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.
"Sir, this is Yan Dan, who was originally a military advisor and the most respected person in the army. Unfortunately, after Fuluo usurped the throne, he eliminated dissidents and focused on his own subordinates. He was suppressed by that villain Yan Zhenyun at every turn! Now you have the final say. , just leave all the affairs of the army to him." Lao Yibi introduced me to me with his hands covered with an aggrieved look.
Ha, Lao Yi is considered to be thoughtful and knows what I want; however, since Lao Yi knows what Fu Ruo has done, it is really difficult for him to do it because of his character. This Fu Ruo is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he can get the right answers for all kinds of things. The "lifeblood" of the city lord... Humph! ~No matter what she takes, I just need to take her!
Yan Dan came up and bowed deeply to me first, and said humbly and politely: "Yan Dan has met your Excellency. Your strategy, courage, and martial arts really make me admire you. Not only me, but all the officers and men in the army admire me." I have great respect for you, sir.”
I quickly returned the salute: "There is no need to be polite as a military advisor. I will ask you for more help in the future."
"Yes, sir, I will go all out!~" His attitude was humble, but he spoke impassionedly.
"Um... there is something I want the military advisor to handle right now." I looked at the army camp.
"Sir, please speak." Yan Dan bent down slightly.
I stretched out my hand to help him up: "We are all brothers from now on, and the military advisors do not need to be so restrained. Go and ask the soldiers to find the hunchback that was let go last night. I have seen the terrain of this area. Although it is wide, there are cliffs and rocks in the distance. Come on, those mounts can't climb up the rocky mountain. It shouldn't be difficult to find them. I'll ask people to help you. It's at least more than three hundred miles from here to Yin'ao, so it's not safe for everyone to get there..."
Yan Dan raised his head and was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Thank you, sir, for thinking about all the soldiers. This is how it should be."
I guess he didn't understand the word "ham" at first. I said it smoothly and didn't pay much attention...
He paused: "It's just..."
"What's wrong?" I didn't know what he meant.
"I see that your face is gray and there are some dark circles under your eyes. I think you have been busy all night and haven't slept. It's better for you to take a rest and regain your energy before you can direct the action. If you have any other matters, please feel free to leave them to me and I will go with you. Do it." He looked at me sincerely.
That's right, you really can't force yourself to do it. If something goes wrong due to fatigue, that would be very bad.
"The military advisor is absolutely right. I will go and take a rest in a moment. But there is one thing. Many soldiers were injured last night. I would like to ask the military advisor to count the number of wounded soldiers and count the number of minor and serious injuries. Let me know. , let the wounded rest where they are without joining the queue... Ask other soldiers to help retrieve their mounts..." I felt a little guilty, lowered my head and said softly.
Yan Dan saw through my thoughts, raised his hands in the air, and said loudly: "Yesterday, you and I fought separately. It was because we had no choice. Moreover, your Excellency has shown mercy. There are no dead soldiers in the army. The soldiers are all right." You are grateful and you don’t have to blame yourself.”
I clasped my fists in embarrassment and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I will be responsible for these two things."
"Take your orders!~" Yan Dan returned the courtesy, turned around and strode towards the military camp. He was so energetic that he felt like he was feeling windy when he walked.
Yan Dan is not only observant and insightful, but also has a broad mind. The key is that he admires me... It seems that we will become good friends in the future.
"Haha, you are popular everywhere." Euxu and Xiaoyan said simultaneously, both looking at me with smiles.
"Haha, blah blah blah..." I smiled silly and touched the back of my head.
Hey~ The two of them really understand each other better and better... They almost speak and move at the same frequency! ~
After a while, the sound of drums came, and the soldiers quickly began to line up. In a blink of an eye, the army had assembled. "Tsk, tsk, tsk~" It is indeed a regular army.
Yan Dan began to convey the order. As he spoke, the flag bearer kept waving the flag. Oh, it should be the flag language. It turns out that so many people can hear the order. Look at this! ~I just said there was no loudspeaker. How could all the soldiers hear clearly last night?
"Yes!~Yes!~Yes!~" The soldiers shouted loudly.
"Action!~" Yan Tang waved his arms, and everyone dispersed, starting to look for the owl and camel. The ground suddenly boiled again.
Zhou Guangquan led the team members over: "Xiao Feng, what do you need to do now?"
"Brother Zhou, let everyone take off the wolf skin from the camel, and ride on the cavalry to help them catch the camel. This will make it faster; haha~ After gathering, we will set off to Yin'ao City together. Haha~" I'm too sleepy, I Started to yawn non-stop.
"Okay, I'll do it now. Everyone has rested for two hours last night. Go and get some sleep." Zhou Guangquan patted my shoulder with concern and turned around to lead his brothers to help.
I waved to Xiaoyan and Euxu: "You've been tired all night, you should go and have some rest."
"Yeah." They nodded.
At this time, Lao Yi ran over: "Sir, I'll go find the hunchback first. I'll do what you ordered when I get back."
"Well, but remember, the cronies you choose must be reliable, and you can take care of the rest." My brain started to short-circuit...
"Yes, sir, don't worry!" After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
I walked into the tent and gave the mats to them. I spread a blanket on the ground and lay down directly. They were really tired. They murmured like babies as soon as they lay down. Looking at their tired figures, I felt sad in my heart, ugh~ It's all my fault... I feel so bad! ~
I gradually fell asleep in my wild thoughts. I don’t know how long it took, but the surroundings darkened. A few wisps of black energy came out from behind me, slowly forming a strangely dressed human figure. He turned around slowly and looked at me with a smile. I, mutter something in my mouth...
Huh! ~This is... You Moujun! Why is he here! I struggled to stand up...! ! When were you tied up? The Xuan Gang Qi cannot be adjusted out!
You Moujun suddenly had a dagger in his hand! ~My body swayed, and the cold light hit my face, X! ~Do you want my life? ~
Suddenly, a delicate body flashed in front of me, and the dagger plunged into her belly... She collapsed in my arms without a sound, the rosy color on her face gradually faded, and her complexion began to turn pale. Wait until I see her face clearly! ! ! Mu Xunwei! ~What's going on! How could it be her?
I was shocked, "Ah!~" I yelled, and I woke up... I went, it turned out to be a dream... I looked at the time and slept for about three hours, and my energy was restored.
Euxu and Xiaoyan looked at me with confused eyes, "What happened?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I had a nightmare..." He rubbed his temples and said, "You guys can sleep a little longer, and I'll go out and take a look." He got up and got out of the tent.
They followed out: "No sleep! We've almost rested, so we don't have to wait for you to leave us and run away."
"Haha, that won't happen..." I hurriedly explained.
There was a lot of people outside the tent. They stretched and looked around. The tents in the camp had been cleaned up. The army returned to the camp one after another. Some soldiers began to feed the camels. Lao Yi and more than 20 people were waiting outside the tent.
Seeing me coming out, he led someone to greet me: "Sir, these are the three pieces of armor you want. However, your two ladies are too thin and don't have the right ones, so we can only make do with them."
"Um...haha, it's okay, it's okay, as long as you can wear it." I originally wanted to explain that they were not my wives, but when I saw the smiles of Yu Xu and Xiao Yan, I quickly held it back.
Me, Yu Xu, and Xiaoyan took the armors and put them on each.
Turning around, the team members were getting ready in the open space next to them. Zhou Guangquan came over and said, "Xiao Feng, it's done, brothers are ready."
"Okay, got it." I nodded.
Yan Dan came from the military camp and handed over his hand: "Sir, there are a total of 14,732 injured soldiers. There are no serious injuries. They are just superficial injuries. We can still fight. How will we arrange it?"
I touched my chin and thought for a moment, then pointed at Zhou Guangquan and the team members: "Let the injured soldiers go back to the base camp with them to prepare; pass on the order, so that everyone must obey Brother Zhou's orders; also, please ask the military advisor to assemble the army and follow me to Yin." Aocheng."
"Got it!~" Yan Dan clasped his fists, and then used his goose feather fan to make a gesture of invitation to Zhou Guangquan.
I turned to Zhou Guangquan: "Brother Zhou, you and your brothers will go to the base camp with the wounded and prepare all kinds of baggage and siege equipment. When I notify you, we may take action at any time in the next few days!~"
"Okay, take care of yourself!" He and his team members followed Yan Dan to the opposite side, and soon they set off first with 14,000 wounded people.
With drums beating and flags waving, Yan Dan began to assemble a large group of people and arrange their queues. In a short time, more than 50,000 heroes were in formation.
Wow! ~This aura is much more powerful than last night~ This military advisor is so resolute and resolute, he is not sloppy at all, he is indeed a talent! ~
Yan Dan came over and saluted me: "Sir, everything is ready, please give the order." I cupped my fists and said, "Thank you, military advisor."
Lao Yi and the soldiers brought their mounts and everyone turned over on their camels.
Riding a camel, I slowly walked to the front of the military formation, wow! ~This battle can no longer be described as dense, there is an overwhelming shock.
At this time, the soldiers all looked at me, their hot eyes were full of respect, and an inexplicable feeling of pride came over me. I suddenly felt a little bit elated, no, no, no, calm, pride makes people fail!
It seems that what Yan Dan said is true. The soldiers do respect me, so I can't be embarrassed! ~
Shaking his head gently, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart, he waved one hand and shouted loudly: "All officers and men obey the order! ~ March to Yin'ao City! ~"
"Dong~dong~dong~dong~" the drum sounded, "woo~woo~" the horn sounded, the flag was waved, the soldiers lined up in neat queues and began to move, drink! ~This is the authentic grandeur! ~
I was extremely excited at this point! ~"Drive!~" He raised his whip and led Xiaoyan and Yuxu to the front of the army! ~He was very high-spirited for a moment! ~
The whole army began to gallop, and a huge strong wind suddenly emerged, carrying the flying dust and flying back quickly.
Speeding along the winding mountain road, passing through two mountains, we came to a small peak with a lower mountain. Under the peak was a flat river. In the distance, a super city lay quietly on the ground. ~" Pulling the reins, I waved my hand: "Stop!" After a burst of hoofbeats, the army stopped immediately, and there was silence for an instant.
I was slightly surprised. The quality of the soldiers was so good. Ha, then I would be more confident about my future plans!
This city is much larger than all the cities I have seen in Huanshan before... The city is surrounded by a moat, with roads and rivers running through it. There are many buildings, and lush green willows are scattered everywhere. To the north of the city center, a palace-like building occupies a large area. You can imagine the prosperity of the city just by looking at it from a distance.
Lao Yi and Yan Dan came from behind: "Sir, what's the matter?"
"Is that Yin'ao City ahead?" I pointed to the city.
"Yes, exactly!" Yan Dan looked ahead.
"Yes." I nodded and clasped my fists at him: "Military advisor, you lead a large force from the mountain road to the back of Yin'ao City, block all roads in and out of Yin'ao City, and don't let anyone pass through for the time being, especially in the direction of Dieyin City. Come here; also, try not to have any conflicts, just find a way to delay the time, and wait for my news."
"Oh? It seems that you have a plan, sir? Then I will not disappoint you." Yan Dan fanned his goose feather fan, and without asking me why, he smiled and led the army straight away from the mountain road.
Well, I didn’t expect Yan Dan to trust me so much. I was really surprised by his character...
Lao Yi was a little dumbfounded: "Sir, aren't we going to attack the city? Are you..."
"Haha, who said we were going to attack the city? The city is so big and the walls are so strong. Not to mention that we only have more than 70,000 people in total. Even if we have 150,000, it would be difficult to attack. Besides, even if we can attack, both sides will suffer heavy casualties. , I don’t want to do this kind of thing; bring over your chosen cronies, I will assign tasks, and follow me into the city to stir up the troubled waters!" I squinted my eyes and looked at the city far below.
Lao Yi stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha, okay! It seems that you are ready to succeed. I am willing to follow you through fire and water!~"
"It's not that serious. Act according to my plan. You can advance or retreat!~" I waved my hand gently.
Hehe, there's no such danger, I'm just taking you in to make trouble; even if it fails, let alone me, with the current abilities of E Xu and Xiao Yan, I believe I can keep you safe! ~
