Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

Quiet, the scene is extremely quiet.

After Lu Yan's voice of pleading guilty sounded, there was no more sound at the scene, everyone was watching, only the cold wind kept ringing in their ears.

Chapter 1515

I don't know how long the quiet scene lasted in the Gobi.

Wang Lin didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, his gaze was taken away from Lu Yan, Duan Hu, and the tens of thousands of Yunnan troops.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Lin said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Pass down the order, the army rests on the spot, makes a fire and cooks, eats and drinks enough, and goes on the road together to the Huns' Dragon City, put down the Huns' army, and then destroy the last place the Huns garrisoned!"

While speaking, the order has been conveyed.

The generals and soldiers below ordered and prohibited them to rest on the spot and cook for food. After a while, the scene was already filled with smoke and the smell of rice.

In this cold winter, the smell of steaming rice is enough to arouse anyone's appetite.

The [-] troops from Yunnan, as well as Duan Hu and Lu Yan, all looked at this scene in puzzlement.

Wang Lin didn't seem to have the idea of ​​blaming anyone, and he didn't even talk to this side from the beginning.

But Wang Lin didn't leave either. From the beginning to the end, until now, even though he got off his horse, he was still in front of the crowd, looking at them, making it unclear what he meant.

"Generalissimo, if we are guilty, I ask the Generalissimo to quickly drop the punishment!"

That kind of inexplicable torment came to Lu Yan's heart again, and he didn't like this kind of tormented waiting very much.

Youdao means quick battle and quick decision, whether it is life or death, it is a matter of one sentence.

The head fell off, but there was a big scar on the mouth of the bowl, dragging it like this is the biggest torture for a person.

Wang Lin's gaze focused on Lu Yan again. Suddenly, he shook his head and said, "I told you, let you take the brothers below to eat and drink first, and then set off again!"

Said, Wang Lin looked around again, those haggard-looking army from Yunnan, shook his head and said: "These days, everyone must not have had a good meal!"

Everyone looked at Wang Lin puzzled, yes, these days, no one had a good meal.

After all, with such a big defeat in front of them, they almost lost everything, and there was not a single soldier left on the other side, and they all died in battle.

With such a defeat in front of him, who would be in the mood to eat?

These days, they are more annoyed, blamed, and uneasy.

None of them knew what was waiting for them after this defeat.

Daqin's military punishment must be inevitable, but no one knows how severe the punishment will be.

"Great Marshal, the general of the defeated army, how can he be entitled to enjoy the Daqin meal?"

Lu Yan lowered his head with a pained look on his face.

"Hehe, the defeated general, why can't he enjoy my Daqin meal?"

"It's one thing for a child who has made a mistake, to be punished by his parents, but it's not like he's kicked out of the house, never admits it, and doesn't give him food, right?"

"My Daqin generals, no matter how many battles they lose, as long as they haven't betrayed my Daqin, how my Daqin punishes them is my Daqin's business, but it's not so bad that they are not my own family!"

"As a general, it doesn't matter if you don't eat or drink, but how can you starve the following brothers and soldiers who swear to follow you to the death?"

Wang Lin shook his head and smiled suddenly, and when he said something, it was like drinking a bowl of Laba porridge into everyone's stomach in this cold winter.

Tens of thousands of Dian soldiers who had been waiting in torment before the big defeat, whose hearts had been so cold and whose bodies had been frozen, suddenly felt a burst of warmth in their hearts.

In an instant, it was as if the blood in their bodies became hot.

When people are weak, especially when they make mistakes, they are hateful in the eyes of others, but in fact, they are the ones who are really pitiful.

At this moment, they are terrified and afraid.

The reprimand at this time, to them, is tantamount to scraping a bone with an ice blade.But a heart-warming word can move people to tears.

Unconsciously, tens of thousands of people have red eyes, and water mist keeps appearing in their eyes.

"Get up, defeat is defeat, pleading guilty is useless!"

"Killing generals in front of the battle, this kind of thing is impossible for me to do. When the war is over and the world is settled, merits and demerits can be judged by themselves. At that time, it will not be too late to talk about punishment and rewards!"

Wang Lin spoke again, and the meaning of these words was already obvious.

He never thought of punishing these people in front of him, at least, now is not the time for punishment.

Even if you want to punish, you have to wait until after the war.

Everyone's heart was inexplicably tense, but they couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

He breathed a sigh of relief because the punishment seemed to be temporarily waived.Nervous, because of such a punishment, it seems that I have to wait.

But everyone has nothing to say, after all, others have done their best, and they are still at fault.

From the beginning to the end, Duan Hu, who didn't say a word, suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Lin.

"Why, the Generalissimo said that he didn't want to kill the generals before the battle, so he was going to bypass me and wait for the defeated generals?"

"That's right, this battle has nothing to do with the brothers below, and it has nothing to do with Lu Yan. From the beginning to the end, it was all because of my connivance that led to successive defeats in the battle!"

"Nowadays, it doesn't matter who the marshal bypasses, so he won't even let me go, Duan Hu?"

This was the first sentence Duan Hu uttered. It was obvious that although he hadn't spoken, he had never thought of excuses himself.

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that one person was ready to bear all the charges.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? If you want to be punished, let me live and wait. Only those who are alive are eligible to be punished. The next battle may be more difficult. Why not die now?" Do something before you die?"

Wang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Duan Hu, his tone was indifferent, without any emotion.

His words were very particular, and he didn't say to let Duan Hu go, but he didn't punish Duan Hu either.

However, as soon as these words came out, Duan Hu's heart trembled.

To Duan Hu, these words were no less heart-warming than the previous words to many soldiers.

Duan Hu is always a proud person no matter what.

After this defeat, it seemed that his pride had been shattered, but in fact, it was just an appearance.

His arrogance still exists, such as not escaping, this is his arrogance.

Others, such as Lu Yan, waited for the punishment quietly because they had great ambitions, and because of this defeat, his mistakes were not too many, and it was not even his fault at all.

Therefore, for the sake of his ambition, and because it was not his fault, Lu Yan could wait.

The same is true for the soldiers below. Even if they are punished, they cannot die, so they can face it.

But Duan Hu is different, he is the wrong caster, he is basically mortal.If you were an ordinary person, why would you be foolishly waiting to die?

Duan Hu is not stupid, but his arrogance does not allow him to avoid his mistakes.

Chapter 1516 Gan Hong is Here

Now, Wang Lin's words not only fulfilled his pride, but also allowed him to escape.

That's right, Wang Lin didn't say to let him go, nor did he say why he temporarily bypassed him. For a proud person, this is satisfaction.

It means that I don't pity you, I just want to use you.

In the end, it was just a sentence, to give Duan Hu the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, but he didn't say it clearly.

Duan Hu's heart warmed up, his inexplicable eyes turned red, and he cupped his hands and said: "I see, since this is the case, Duan Hu will take this severed head, and then even the marshal will go to hell!"

With that said, Duan Hu turned around abruptly and left here.

Not long after, the meal was ready, and after the hundreds of thousands of troops had enjoyed it, it was still early.

Hundreds of thousands of troops packed up their luggage, and after Wang Lin's order, they set off again and headed straight for the Xiongnu Dragon City.

……

"Drive by..."

On the other side, war horses are galloping and flying in the snow.

It is no longer known how many war horses Gan Hong has changed.

In this Xiongnu prairie, everything is lacking, except that there is no shortage of horses and livestock.

Since the defeat in the battle, Gan Hong has been rushing all the way. Before reaching the Xiongnu prairie, the horse under his crotch was already exhausted and died of exhaustion on the spot.

In the end, he came to the grassland on foot, so he could not stay behind, snatched the horses on the grassland, and continued to gallop.

Along the way, he hardly had a good meal. When robbing war horses, he would snatch everything if he had something to eat. Then he ate and went on the road.

However, because he was not familiar with the Xiongnu prairie, he still took a lot of detours. Now, he just came slowly and arrived outside Longcheng.

Seeing the city pier standing on the grassland from afar, Gan Hong reined in his horse and stopped.

He took out a piece of boiled beef from the backpack in his arms, put it in his mouth and chewed it in large pieces.

Because of the cold weather, even though he covered the piece of beef with his body, at this moment, it was still as frozen as ice, very stiff.

He was already old, and logically, most old people at his age would not be able to speak fluently.

However, he still ate very vigorously.

While eating, he also took a water bag from the horse's back, which contained the most common kumiss on the grassland, and raised his head and took two gulps, with a satisfied expression on his face.

He is also the general of the defeated army, but at this moment, Gan Hong is completely different from Duan Hu and others.

Duan Hu and the others were waiting to die in torment, but Gan Hong was dying in a heroic way.

Duan Hu and the others knew that if they lost a battle, they would only have to wait for the Generalissimo to come, so they must be dead, so they were suffering, so they waited.

On the other hand, Gan Hong, on weekdays, is not as bold and arrogant as Duan Hu, but gives people a feeling of being old.

But at this time, no one could see it better than him.

It seems that life and death are no longer important to Gan Hong.

That's right, he no longer cared about life and death, and he came here to die this time only for the sake of the young master.

For Gan Hong, it was satisfying and lucky for him to exchange his crippled body for the young master to stay out of the matter.

Therefore, he didn't care at all whether he was going to Dragon City this time, whether it was life or death.

As for the things that he discussed with Mao Dun at the beginning, he didn't take it seriously. It's good to have a chance, but if there is no chance, that's it.

Of course, if you die, you will die, how can you treat yourself badly?

The death row inmates in the prison, when they are about to execute, still have a bowl of meal.

The farewell meal was not rich, but it was definitely not shabby either.

At least, ordinary people, even during the Chinese New Year, can't afford this kind of food.

Send off meal, this is everyone's last meal, basically eat and drink well, and then go on the road.

Even if this is the case for a death row prisoner, Gan Hong is a general after all, and there is no one to restrain him for the time being, how can he treat himself badly?

Now, finally arrived at Dragon City, he was going to plead guilty in front of the imperial concubine, but he didn't know what the consequences would be.

It may be life, it may be death, or it may be life is worse than death.

But whether you die from immortality, prepare for death, eat and drink enough first, at least not to be a starving ghost after death, that is also good.

In the wind and snow, a sip of wine and a sip of meat, although cold, warms the heart.

After eating and drinking enough, Gan Hong looked at his greasy hands, smiled suddenly, didn't care, wiped his body, and rode his horse again, heading straight for Longcheng.

……

In the vice city, outside the General's Mansion, on the third alley to the east, the battle has gradually come to an end.

After a great battle, more than a dozen people fought side by side, the wind was violent, and wherever they passed, it was as if the might of heaven swept across, and no one could do anything.

The surrounding walls and buildings have been beaten into dilapidated condition.A good alley has been beaten into ruins.
