As they set foot on the road to Loulan, every soldier became serious.
Although that Loulan country only had 50,000 elite soldiers who had fled back home, these infantry were vulnerable in their eyes.
However, they were still very solemn and serious.
Because they knew that the real culprit who killed more than 200,000 of their people was the Loulan Kingdom.
The previous attacks against the Luo Bu Kingdom and the Hami Kingdom were just preparations for the attack on the Loulan Kingdom.
For Luo Bu and Hami, their methods were relatively gentle. They only captured each other's kings and royal families alive, plundered property, and even massacred them all by the slave people.
But for Loulan, they have an unforgettable hatred.
Especially the Zhenbei Army. They had wiped out the Loulan Army for three days and three nights.
They also saw too many tragedies in the world, the village with corpses everywhere, the wailing of the woman and the screams of the children, all lingering in their ears.
At that time, they wanted to enter Loulan and let their people have a taste of it.
This time, Zhao Long's order only had six words.
Destroy their country and destroy their species.
The army marched neither too fast nor too slowly. After marching for another day, the army set up camp.
It was late in the evening when it was dark in the Western Region. Zhao Long and Xie Xing were sitting in the commander's tent, looking at the map of Loulan Kingdom and discussing tactics.
At this moment, outside the camp, a guard reported,
"Let me tell you, Marshal Zhao, Suo Dutou is back and wants to see you."
Hearing this, Zhao Long said doubtfully,
"Suo Dutou... didn't he escort the king of Luobu Kingdom back to Yumen to close it? Why is he back? Let him in quickly."
"As commanded."
Soon, a man wearing armor walked into the camp with a woman on his head.
When Zhao Long saw this, he immediately frowned and asked,
"Why are you back? And you're bringing a woman with you?"
"The general will pay homage to Marshal Zhao. This woman was brought by Marshal Nie himself, and the Marquis also agreed."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Nadu Tou took out two letters and a jade pendant from his arms, put them on the handsome case, and said,
"Commander, this is the message jade pendant given to you by the Marquis. It can protect you and can also transmit messages to him at any time. The Marquis said that if nothing can be done, you can choose to retreat. If you are in danger, you can ask him for help immediately. .
This is a letter from Lord Marquis to you, and this is a letter from Nie Shuai to you. "
Hearing this, Zhao Long looked at Xie Xing and smiled proudly,
"Look, the Marquis still cares about me."
Xie Xing sneered and turned away proudly.
Zhao Long took the jade pendant and brought it to his neck solemnly. He also patted his chest and saw that the jade pendant was indeed lit up with a layer of light.
That's the function of protection.
"Let me first read the letter the Marquis wrote to me."
Zhao Long picked up the envelope, opened it, and looked at the envelope.
Soon, Zhao Long's eyes turned red.
Seeing this, Xie Xing teased and said,
"Yo? What did the Marquis write that moved you like this?"
"The king raised his troops and repaired my spear..."
Zhao Long murmured this sentence, then handed the envelope to Xie Xing and said,
"The Marquis did not blame us for taking action without authorization. He will support us unconditionally."
After Xie Xing read it, he smiled heartily, patted Zhao Long on the shoulder and said,
"You are so lucky to have a good boss who can support you unconditionally, understand you, and provide you with protection.
Back then, when Marshal Yue was alive, I was happier than you. Why did I need to consider so many things? I would just fight wherever the Marshal asked me to fight. I would always be invincible and always have good wine and good meat to eat.
It's a pity that the marshal was killed by a female gangster.
You are better than me. At least, Lord Zhenbei doesn’t have to worry about being harmed by villains. No one in this world can harm him, even
The court also has to look at his face. "
Zhao Long sighed and did not answer the question. Instead, he took the letter and handed it to the pen clerk next to him who was helping with military affairs and registration, and said,
"Copy this letter and circulate it to the whole army, so that every soldier can memorize it. Tell them that this is written by the Marquis."
"I obey, little man."
Then, Zhao Long looked at the woman and asked,
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"Citizen girl Zhang Mengqi, pays homage to the general."
Zhang Mengqi gave a blessing and then said,
"Folk girls are here to find a husband."
"Husband? Which army and battalion is your husband from? What is your name?"
At this time, Suo Dutou said quickly,
"Shuai Zhao, you will understand everything after reading the letter written by Nie Shuai."
Zhao Long nodded and opened Nie Ze's letter again. Xie Xing turned to read it together.
They read this letter for a long time, and after reading it, they were silent for a long time.
Zhang Mengqi was worried and looked directly at them with her big eyes. Her fingers, which were rough from years of work, were digging into each other, and her nervousness could be seen.
After all, although Nie Shuai and Marquis promised that she could come, she also knew that she would not accept the order of the emperor.
If the two generals didn't allow her to follow them, she might have to go back.
After Zhao Long was silent for a while, he looked at Zhang Mengqi and said,
"Don't worry, when we get to Loulan City, we will help you find Zhang Xiaoyu and hand him over to you.
You stay in the camp first. The camp is full of big-headed men and rough guys. It may be a little inconvenient. Please be patient. "
"Suodou, go and arrange a separate tent for her to live in. Take care of her food and clothing. Don't let her suffer any injustice."
"I obey, little man."
"Daughter of the people, thank you, General."
Zhang Mengqi was overjoyed and immediately bowed and thanked him.
"Well, let's go down."
Zhang Mengqi was led by Suo Du towards the outside of the camp, and then she heard what Zhao Long said to Xie Xing behind her.
"When the time comes to defeat Loulan City, restrain your soldiers not to massacre the city. Don't accidentally injure our hero. Find him first."
After listening to Zhao Long's words, Zhang Mengqi felt a little confused.
hero?
Isn’t Zhang Xiaoyu a traitor?
How did you become a hero?
She was smart and immediately thought of the joints.
Zhang Xiaoyu did not betray Dachuan, he must have secretly helped Dachuan in Loulan Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mengqi became energetic. Her husband was not a traitor and did not betray her and Dachuan. He was enduring humiliation and doing dangerous things. .
But while she was proud, she was also even more uneasy.
He has always been in the enemy's territory. Now that the army is about to attack the city, will the enemy let him go?
What if he is exposed?
Could he be in danger?
Under the leadership of Suo Dutou, she was arranged to live in a camp. Suddenly there was a woman in the army, which aroused the curiosity of many people. When everyone saw Zhang Mengqi, they would look at it curiously and guess this woman. identity of.
What's more, he went directly to find Suo Dutou and asked what was going on. Suo Dutou couldn't say much because he didn't know much. He only said that Nie Shuai and Marquis personally ordered him to be taken to Loulan Kingdom. .
