Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 370. Chapter 369.

After fourteen days away, Li Zhen ran through ten places in Hongnong County and returned to Shang County.

And today is No.16.

No. On the 15th, he worked with AutoNavi to plow the land in Shang County.

At the same time, a record was set.

Because the original plan of ten days had passed, Li Laodao, who was getting more and more anxious, didn't eat at all, and ran with Du Ruhui for three consecutive days.

Then, after farming the land of Shang County and entering the city, he created a feat of eating twelve pancakes for one person, seven bowls of mutton soup and one pot of meat.

No way, I'm too hungry.

Ordinary people would be bored if they were hungry for three days, and the two of them could go to the city to drink soup purely because the practitioners had a good physique.

And after leaving the city, there was no time to rest, so the two of them wanted to go to Shangluo.

Shang County belongs to the fork of Hongnong leading to other places.

All the way to the south is Shangluo.

All the way to the east is Longmen.

The fork in the road is not far away, and it is less than twenty miles away along the city gate.

At this moment, the two of them were looking at the soldiers who shouted "Urgently urgent" while asking them to get out of the way. It was the first time Li Zhen had seen this battle, but Du Ruhui's reaction was not slow.

In an instant, the Oolong Zou, who was in control of his crotch, got off the official road and gave way to the road.

He also called out to Li Zhen:
"Daozhang, get out of the way!"

"..."

Instinctively, Li Zhen moved aside, and the man and horses, with the sound of hooves, passed the two of them and ran into the distance.

There was a cloud of smoke and dust.

He frowned and looked at Du Ruhui.

For more than half a month of getting along, Gao De is like an encyclopedia to Li Laodao.

Knowing astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom is amazing.

Seeing him looking at him, Du Ruhui also frowned and thought about it, then shook his head:

"I can't figure it out...why is there a war here? Hongnong, you and I haven't seen any bandits along the way, and the county has been safe all the way, how could there be...huh?"

"..."

Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Li Laodao couldn't help saying:
"If you want dramatic effects... I advise you that you don't have to..."

After so many days, Li Laodao got used to Du Ruhui being good at being a teacher, and Du Ruhui was also used to the occasional words that he didn't understand coming out of the mouth of Shouchu Daoist.

So just keep meditating.

Then, after a few breaths, he said:
"Could it be... the river east side?"

When he mentioned it, Li Zhen suddenly remembered it.

The history books say... From the winter of the 11th year to the spring of the 12th year of Daye, Li Yuan, who served as the consolation ambassador in Hedong, Shanxi, encountered the rebel Wu Duan'er in Hedong. The two armies met, and a great battle broke out. .

The heads of the bandits were cut into Jingguan and placed on the side of the road as an example to others.

Have you calmed down the rebel bandits who were repeatedly jumping around under the emperor's nose?
But this must not be said to Du Ruhui, but it does not prevent him from using Du Ruhui as a weapon.

In order to confirm, he urged the other party:

"Old Du, why don't you... chase after him and ask?"

"..."

Du Ruhui immediately looked at him with a crazy expression on his face:
"Does the Daoist have any deep hatred for this subordinate? With an arrow in his back, one man with two horses, it must be an urgent report from the military. Chase him up? Let alone catch up, he just shouted to stop from a distance, and was reported to the court by that soldier After investigation, my Du family is probably the fault of the Yi people. Why is this?"

"Haha, just kidding~just kidding~"

Li Zhen shook his head, controlled the chasing thunder and returned to the official path:

"Let's go."

"……Um."

Du Ruhui glanced in the direction of the north again, said nothing, and quickened his pace with Li Zhen.

It is true that the banditry in the east of the river is difficult and the people are stable.

But on the Shangluo side, the spring plowing has come to an end now, if the speed is not faster, more people will be delayed.

Which is more important, he can naturally tell.

……

Hedong, Huozhou.

"dong dong dong dong..."

With the ringing of the bell, the city gate slowly closed.

Outside the city of Huozhou, corpses are everywhere.

Most of the corpses died with their backs to Huozhou.If experienced generals see this scene, they don't need to judge by military uniforms. They just need to look at it to know who is attacking and defending, and who is winning and who is losing.

And as Mingjin retreated, those soldiers on the battlefield who were obviously better equipped than their opponents also began to retreat, helping their companions to heal their injuries, or sitting on the ground to rest panting.

Two miles outside Huozhou city.

Chinese army tent.

The half-old child named "Yuanba" yawned.

"Ha... um."

He seemed bored and seemed sleepy.

After yawning, his eyes fell on a young man in armor in the military tent who seemed to be somewhat mature.

But the young man didn't see his gaze, but stood beside the middle-aged general, staring at the animal skin map on the table with him.

Seeing this, the half-grown child curled his lips helplessly, and then looked at the woman sitting in the direction of several generals, wearing a big cloak, with eyebrows like swords like knives.

There was unconcealed curiosity in his eyes.

Sensing his gaze, Sun Jingchan showed a polite and warm smile.

Not shy.

On the contrary, there is a kind of heroic spirit that does not give way to men.

The half-grown child suddenly became interested, and his two thick eyebrows moved rhythmically as if they were alive.

like waves.

Sun Jingchan was taken aback...Looking at the grimacing child in front of him...Maybe it was because the other person's thick eyebrows, big eyes, wide nose and wide mouth matched this expression so much fun, and there was a smile in his breath.

Seeing this, the half-grown child became even more excited.

But just when he was about to play a trick with this...unidentifiable male and female guest, the sound of horns outside suddenly rose.

The people who instantly attracted the entire military tent cast their eyes outside.

The half-grown child didn't dare to play around anymore, and even glanced at his father with a guilty conscience.

Then, after a hundred breaths.

Footsteps sounded.

A voice sounded outside the door:
"General."

"Enter."

With the voice of the middle-aged general, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and a young general with blood on his body walked in with his helmet between his hands.

"elder brother!"

The half-grown child couldn't help but yelled.

After the young general nodded slightly, he clasped his fists at the middle-aged general:
"General, Huozhou's enemy general Ming Jin withdrew his troops. In this battle, we lost a hundred and seven cavalry, and we lost six hundred cavalry. It is about to kill the enemy..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused for some reason, and then said:
"Nine hundred. Although the enemy's equipment is behind ours, they are tenacious and cannot be underestimated."

170 cavalry, [-] tribes, only killed [-] enemies.

Although it is not a defeat, it cannot be said to be a victory.

But after hearing his words, the eyes of the middle-aged general flickered with light.

For a moment, he nodded:
"Well, it's hard work. It's done."

The old and young people on the side hurriedly cupped their hands:
"General."

"After inspecting the battlefield with the supervising army, prepare a table and play it."

"Leader!"

After the old man bowed his head and nodded, he said to a fat superintendent who looked very friendly beside him:
"Supervisor, please."

For some reason, the fat supervisor smiled brightly, nodded and said:

"Don't dare, please, my lord."

The two went out together.

"The armies set up camp and garrisoned, sent out the sentry posts, and fought again tomorrow."

"Leader!"

The generals in the room responded with a shout and came out neatly.

In an instant, there were only four people left in the room.

That half-old kid.

Sun Jingchan.

young general.

There are also middle-aged generals who are sitting firmly in the camp.

But no one said anything, but waited until the people at the door walked away before the middle-aged general looked at the young general:

"How about casualties?"

he asked again.

But this time, the numbers in the mouth of the young general became a little more subtle:

"Back to my father, the cavalry was injured 240 times, and [-] people died. More than [-] infantrymen were killed in battle. The enemy killed [-], and the opponent could have pursued him again when the opponent called for gold, but the boy was afraid of being cheated, so he ordered the troops to retreat."

"..."

Hearing this, the middle-aged general was silent for a moment, and said:

"Rang Jiancheng is giving a hundred gold. Let the fat man report the broken horse as a mount for Pegasus City."

"Yes!"

After finishing speaking, the young general smiled at the half-grown child and said:

"Yuanba, brother brought you back a big knife, let's go and have a look."

The half-grown child's eyes lit up in an instant, and he forgot to say hello. He cheered and followed him out of the tent.

In an instant, there were only two people left in the tent.

The middle-aged general looked at Sun Jingchan and said unhurriedly:
"I wonder if the young suzerain is satisfied with this treatment?"

Sun Jingchan bowed her hand:
"Li Gong's words are serious. Jing Chan just heard about the battle in Hedong and asked for help, so he came here to support Li Gong with sincerity. My horses in Pegasus City were originally given to Li Gong... Li Gong can arrange it."

Hearing this, the middle-aged general shook his head:
"Army and horses are precious, and they belong to His Majesty. I dare not have selfish thoughts. Since it is for His Majesty's concern, the horses of the three schools of Pegasus City are famous all over the world, so they are extremely important to victory in the war."

After the specious words were finished, Sun Jingchan nodded:

"Jing Chan is ashamed to be praised by Mr. Li. Then... that's how it is today. My disciples from the three sects are full of strength after this night's training. Tomorrow, I will be sent by Mr. Li... Jing Chan will leave."

"Well, the general wants to deduce the military plane, so I won't send it off."

"Don't dare, Li Gong stay behind."

With a bow, Sun Jingchan walked out of the military tent.

Before walking a few steps, a soldier came over and came to her side:
"Young Sect Master, the Second Young Master has an invitation."

"Thank you for leading the way."

"Don't dare, please."

Following the soldiers all the way to a camp, Sun Jingchan saw the half-grown child squatting on the ground with eyes full of frustration, looking extremely wronged.

And the young general just now was still comforting in a gentle voice.

Beside the two of them, a long knife that looked like it was made of refined iron was broken into two pieces for some unknown reason, and it was thrown on the ground.

I only heard the half-grown child muttering with eyes filled with grievance:
"It's so light, it doesn't need to be squeezed at all! I really didn't use any force...Brother, I really didn't use any force, it...it broke as soon as I pulled it..."

"..."

Hearing this sound, Sun Jingchan was looking at the wound where the fracture was like a rag torn, his pupils shrank slightly, but immediately returned to normal, and coughed lightly:
"Cough cough."

Hearing the movement, the young general turned his head to look, got up quickly, and bowed his hands:
"Li Shimin has met the Young Sovereign. The Young Sovereign came to visit, and I was far away from welcoming him. Please forgive me."
