The two people in the camp fell into silence for a long time.
"This time the Yan Wei Regiment has no choice but to retreat. The people under my command have asked me to ask you, when are you planning to set off?" Chu Tianhe asked.
Yan Mo ignored Chu Tianhe's question and asked, "Do you know why I never agreed to him before and let the Yan Guards go to Jiuzhou?"
Chu Tianhe looked at Yan Mo with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Because he wants me to use the Yan Guards as the front army!" Yan Mo said coldly.
This short sentence made Chu Tianhe feel like he was struck by lightning.
Let the Yan Guards serve as the front army?
Isn't this just asking them to be cannon fodder?
You must know that in a battle, the front army suffers the most casualties. Whether it is charging into battle or attacking a city, the front army needs to bear huge losses and risks.
When encountering a city that is difficult to capture, it is usually the front troops who draw firepower and open a breakthrough.
When encountering an unexpected ambush, it is usually the front troops who go to take the lives of the rear troops and cover their evacuation.
No matter what the dirty work was, it was all done by former soldiers, and they had to do it with their heads in their waistbands.
The front army is generally composed of weaker troops in the army, and almost no one would waste or fight the elite troops like this.
Chu Tianhe could already imagine that if the Yanwei regiment was really used as a frontline army, then it would probably be defeated in Yuzhou and there would not be many people left in the Yanwei regiment!
"This...this...does this mean that our Yan Guard Group will be completely wiped out?" Chu Tianhe took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice.
"He gave me two choices. One is that I don't join the war and stay in Chang'an. He personally leads the Yan Guards into battle and marches in person. In this way, the Yan Guards can sit with him in the rear. The other is that I join the war and lead the army. The Yan Guard Regiment commands the entire army, but... the Yan Guard Regiment must be in front of the army." Yan Mo sighed.
Chu Tianhe had a sad look on his face, and his thoughts were completely confused at this moment.
Originally, he was still thinking about why Yan Mo was reluctant to lead the troops. You must know that all the generals of the Yan Guard Regiment could no longer restrain their loneliness with no battle to fight, and they all wanted to live a life of throwing their lives and blood on the battlefield.
The battlefield is like a big dye vat. Once you enter, you can no longer wash away the sins in your heart.
It is easy to pick up a weapon, but it is difficult to put down a weapon.
The generals of the Yanwei Regiment are all strong men who have emerged from the battlefield with bloody nirvana, and it is even more difficult for the strong to bear this kind of dull and boring life day after day, because these days will sharpen their edges and corners from the battlefield. and sharpness are all smoothed away.
They are people born for the battlefield, and the battlefield is their destination.
But now, this destination is full of murderous intent.
Death opened its arms and welcomed their return with the highest courtesy of a warrior.
"This...is there still room for maneuver? Do we really want us old guys to die?"
Chu Tianhe asked a nonsense question, which even he thought was meaningless, but he still said it.
Just like the soldiers who are facing a desperate situation and charging at the front on the battlefield, they all use various reasons to launch the last charge. Even though they know that there is almost no chance of survival, they still want to bet on a miracle for themselves. Appear.
This is called thinking.
Always remember, there will be reverberations.
Chu Tianhe thought of a soldier he had seen on the battlefield.
The reason why he was deeply impressed by this soldier was that he ran back from Zhenshi Pass.
At that time, he was ordered to lead the army to garrison in a small city on the border of Yongzhou.
As a result, late one night, the soldier was suddenly discovered outside the city.
When he was discovered, the soldier had only one breath left and was lying quietly on the ground. Two hungry wolves were gnawing at his arms, but he couldn't even open his eyes. He just kept muttering something in his mouth.
He was skinny and skinny, without any blood, and his feet
The soles were completely worn away, and a thin layer of new flesh growing out of the soles of the feet covered the bones to prevent them from falling.
There was also a penetrating wound on his chest. It seemed that some monster with sharp claws had pierced his chest with a claw.
The lungs in his chest had long since rotted, and the area around the wound was filled with pus and smelly.
While Chu Tianhe searched the soldier to see if he could find any information about the soldier, he listened carefully to what the soldier had been saying.
"Chang'an, Chang'an..."
The soldier was still muttering about Chang'an Chang'an until his death.
In the arms of the soldier, there was a letter written to his parents who lived in Chang'an City, and an identity token for the soldiers guarding the city at Zhenshi Pass.
He was deeply shocked.
Zhenshi Pass is thousands of miles away, and he actually walked all the way? !
This soldier was only a second-grade warrior. Logically speaking, he should have died long ago after being seriously injured to that extent.
But he walked thousands of miles!
No one knows how he got here, and no one knows how long he walked.
The wind blows and the rain blows, wild beasts run rampant, and people are hungry, thirsty and trapped...
Even if a normal second-grade warrior is asked to walk, he may not be able to walk down.
In the end, Chu Tianhe did not open the soldier's family letter, but buried it together with the soldier's body.
He didn't know what the soldier wrote in his letter home. He only knew that rather than telling his old parents this cruel fact, it would be better for them to retain a little hope in the troubled times.
In that dark and chaotic era, people must have some desire to survive...

"What is supposed to come will always come, and what is supposed to go cannot be kept. I have already promised him that I will go on the expedition in the spring of next year." Yan Mo said calmly, "This is fate, everything you get from the battlefield will be returned to you. The battlefield and a peaceful old age and death are an extreme luxury for those of us."
…………
Until much later, Chu Tianhe did not remember how he walked out of Yan Mo's camp after learning the news of the expedition that day, nor did he know how he told the news to the people who were eagerly waiting for him outside the camp. general.
He only remembered that the moon that night was very round and bright. Under such a moon, the faces of the surrounding soldiers seemed to be coated with a layer of white.
The black curtain and the white glow complement each other, weaving a harbinger of death.
…………
Yuzhou, somewhere in a small valley.
A group of people were sitting around the small fire.
It was Ling Meng, Jiang Xianfeng and others.
Liao Meng sat cross-legged, with a mahogany sword on his knees, but the tip of the sword half a foot away was already pitch black, like the dark waves of the deep sea, which formed a sharp contrast with the beautiful pink color of the sword body.
Jiang Xianfeng on the side was hugging his knees with his hands and a gloomy look on his face. His stomach growled from time to time, and he was obviously hungry.
"Sister, I only had one meal today..." Jiang Xianfeng said weakly, touching his flat belly.
He had eaten a large bowl of noodles at the Fugui Tavern in Chang'an City this morning. After that, he had no water or rice, and now his stomach was empty.
Jiang Zhiyuan could only touch his head distressedly and comfort him, "Hold on for a while longer. When I find a place to eat tomorrow, I will take you to eat delicious food! Go to sleep first, go to bed first, and then fall asleep." You're not hungry anymore, maybe when you wake up, we'll be at the place to eat..."
Jiang Zhiyuan gently hugged Jiang Xianfeng's body, rested his head on her thigh, and coaxed her to sleep.
"Then I want to eat soy sauce pig trotters, braised pig scalp, braised pork knuckles, braised pig ears, Baiyun pork knuckles, braised pig trotters, braised pig tails with peanuts, braised pig heart, fried pork liver, braised pork belly, braised pork intestines, pork ribs Braised Bawang flower in a pot, pork backbone in chicken soup, stir-fried pork loin with chili, watercress and pork lung soup..."
Jiang Xianfeng's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally fell asleep with tears still streaming from the corners of his mouth.
As for the pig demon lying on the ground beside him, he originally looked sick, but after hearing Jiang Xianfeng's mutterings, he suddenly became energetic.
At first, he just thought these words sounded interesting and wanted to write them all down so that he could try them all when he had the chance.
However, when it suddenly saw Jiang Zhiyuan looking at it thoughtfully, it remembered that wasn't it just a pig demon?
No wonder the names of the dishes mentioned by Jiang Xianfeng are all related to pigs. He really wants to swallow himself whole!
Thinking of this, the pig demon suddenly lost his temper. It didn't matter that he was suppressed by the little Taoist priest on weekdays. After all, the little Taoist priest also had some skills, and with the demon pet contract, they couldn't do anything to him.
But how could this ordinary young man with no cultivation dare to have evil thoughts towards a sixth-grade demon?
You know, a hundred years ago, an ordinary man could eat hundreds of them in one meal!
Besides, this woman actually dared to stare at it!
Even though they were the heirs of Prince Jiang, Prince Jiang had already passed away, and the two of them were hunted down so much that they had to hide their heads and tail.
Now we still have to rely on these two big demons to escort us. If the current Emperor of Humanity had not thought that they would conceal their demonic aura as a condition, they would not have agreed to take on this job!
Thinking of this, the pig demon became even more angry.
Although he promised the Human Emperor to protect the siblings with all his strength, it is okay to teach them a lesson himself.
However, the pig demon looked at Jiang Zhiyuan's cold face and couldn't help but think of the time when she dared to attack Chang'an City alone and angrily criticized the Human Emperor, who was the lord of the Nine Provinces. This made it a little undecided for a moment.
The pig demon shook its body slightly, shaking Yiniao who was sleeping on it to wake up.
"What do you want to do? Are you trying to find me? I'm eating and drinking in my dream! You've disturbed my dream. Be careful, I'll fill my stomach with you later!" Yi Niao muttered dissatisfiedly.
The pig demon whispered, "The way these siblings looked at me just now was very wrong. I suspect they want to attack me. What do you think, I'll strike first and beat these siblings up?" ?”
Yiniao stared at the pig demon's eyes for a long time with a look that looked like a retard, then looked at its fat body, swallowed, and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, if you dare to do this It's time to take action against them, and this Jiuzhou will definitely be in chaos... When the time comes, your portrait will definitely be hung in the Hall of Heroes of the Demon Clan for the demons to admire, and your story will also be compiled into a book by the Demon Clan and passed down through the ages. The book's The name is a pig that has been lurking for hundreds of years and kidnapped Daozi from Qingcheng Mountain, and took Daozi away from Chang'an City to Prince Jiang's heirs. Finally, he was about to attack them, but unfortunately he was discovered by a passing human master, and he had no choice but to die with them. , causing a melee among the Kyushu humans!"
When the pig demon heard this, he trembled all over and couldn't help but retreat in his heart.
Yes, this pair of siblings is not a fuel-saving lamp. There may be many people watching them secretly! I also took over the task of protecting them. If I take action against them, someone sees me, or I seize the opportunity to assassinate them, and then put the blame on them...
The pig demon thought for a while and felt a chill running down his back.
"Whenever you want to take action, say hello to me. I will run away early and collect the body for you later. But you'd better take action early. This girl's cultivation level has recovered to less than half. In another ten days, she will probably be dead." Everything has been restored. You have to think clearly, she also has nearly six levels of cultivation. I guess you may not be able to beat her by then! I am so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back. It is better to take advantage of me than to take advantage of others. If you can't beat me then, don't blame me for annihilating my relatives out of righteousness!" Yiniao swallowed again and stared at the meat on the pig demon's body, his eyes widening.
The pig demon withdrew its gaze from Jiang Zhiyuan and lay down to take a nap, ignoring Yi Niao's persistent inquiries about when it would start.
