Dry Dream

Of course, the sooner the better. "Yun Qingtong's complexion changed, and he said very seriously: "One day later, General Zhang's troops will lose hundreds of people!" "

Yun Qingtong's words made my heart sink, and I nodded and said: "Then I will leave now."

Following Yun Qingtong and General Cheng out of the main hall to order the troops, remembering that the commander's secret order was still at Ziluo's place, he couldn't help turning his face to look at the gate of the village worriedly.I didn't even greet Ziluo when I returned to the camp, but he hasn't come to me until now, and he hasn't even sent someone to ask. Is he angry with me?Or was he entangled by that woman and unable to escape?

When the soldiers heard that they were going to fight with me, they all geared up excitedly, and all looked at us with longing eyes.Of course, some of those recruits were also afraid of death, hiding behind others for fear of being hit on his head.

Soon, 8000 people were ordered. Yun Qingtong was still very soft-hearted, and he didn't order those who seemed obviously unwilling to go.

After counting the men and horses, a soldier came to report that the dry rations were ready, Yun Qingtong ordered the soldiers who accompanied me to get the dry rations and marching supplies, and I went back to the wing room in the yard to put on brand new armor.

This armor is Yun Qingtong's. It's a little too big for me, but it's better than nothing.After changing the armor and returning to the main hall to take a seat, Yun Qingtong looked me up and down for a while, and then said that I really looked like a general.

I roll my eyes.

He also said that if the rescue was successful this time, there would be no need to come back, just go back to Beijing to receive the emperor's award and have a celebration banquet.I don't know what to do, I'm a little confused, and I'm worried about Ziluo.

Before leaving, Yun Qingtong sent me to the gate of the village and asked me in a low voice if I was nervous leading the army for the first time.I shook my head, my heart was not on this at all, I had already flown to Ziluo's tent.

Yun Qingtong was a little annoyed, but she still politely bid me farewell.

Because I didn't know the way, I promoted Zhao Yong, who was familiar with me and knew the way, as my lieutenant general.Zhao Yong was naturally overjoyed, but that big fat man Lin Kuo didn't dare to come at all.He is more afraid of death, and he joined the army just to earn a living.

To my surprise, Fang Dong disappeared.I remember that when I first went up the mountain, he was still following me on a horse. When did he disappear?

The heavy snow is still falling, it seems that God wants to turn thousands of miles of mountains and rivers into snow.On the way down the mountain, there was indeed a wide road for a large group of people, just beside the small mountain road.I asked Zhao Yong to bring soldiers and horses down the mountain from the main road, and I went down the small mountain road to find Ziluo.But Zhao Yong stopped me, saying that with such heavy snow, it was too dangerous to walk on the small mountain road, and it was easy to roll down the mountain with people and horses.

I heard what he said was reasonable, so I abandoned my horse and walked down the mountain by using my lightness kung fu.

169. Midnight White Clothes

Post time: 07/022010

Standing in the empty and messy snow field, I stared blankly at the front where a tent had been set up, but now there was only an open space covered with snow and full of debris.

It's only half a day's work, how come people go to pay for it?

After standing for a while, I suddenly remembered that there were eighteen thousand soldiers waiting for me in the snow, so I hurriedly turned around and rushed to meet at the foot of the front mountain.Ziluo is gone, but the token has not been obtained, how to deploy troops?With only less than 2 horses, how to fight against the 8 horses of the rebels?

At the foot of the former mountain, more than 1 soldiers stood there in high spirits and neatly dressed in cotton cloaks, waiting.Seeing me coming back, Zhao Yong led his horse to meet me and said, "General, you're back, maybe you're leaving?"

I took the rein and nodded, "Well, let's go."

Get on your horse and lead your army westward.It is less than two days away from Changpo Ridge, but now that it is snowing heavily, I am afraid that we have to go slowly.

When it was getting dark, we had just stepped out of the area of ​​Nagasaki Mountain, because we had already delayed nearly half a day in the cottage camp.Send an order to station there, because the heavy snow is still falling, people will freeze to death if they drive at night.

The soldiers organized their own camps and set up tents, and then dug holes in the tents to light a fire and cook.In such a cold day, we must eat hot food.Anyway, there is ready-made snow to use, but there is no need to worry about finding water.

Now that I am a general, I will naturally have personal guards to serve me.They have a good meal to bring, which is a special benefit of the general.I saw that they were all carrying dry food, so I wanted to eat the same thing as them.

At the beginning, the soldiers disagreed with life and death, so I said that I was not allowed to eat the same meals as them, so I would not eat.Several soldiers saw that I was so determined, so they had to take out their dry food and eat with me.Seeing me like this, Zhao Yong had no choice but to eat the corn bread dry food brought by the soldiers with me.

This cornbread tastes much better than the rice bran pancakes eaten at that time.I figured it out, even if I don't have a token, I still have to borrow soldiers to try.It would be better if I can borrow it. If I can't, I will use my meal to boost the morale of the soldiers, and then meet with General Zhang to discuss a clever plan to win more with less!

This is one of them.

Second, share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and they will be convinced of me. This is not in the military books, but I saw it in the wild books and unofficial history.

I only ate half of the Wotou, and then filled my stomach with hot water.It's not that I can be full by eating such a small amount, but that I really have no appetite to eat.

I don't know why, but I feel very confused and uneasy.It seemed like something was about to happen.

That night, I couldn't fall asleep anyway, so I finally had to meditate on the floor.

I woke up before dawn, and felt very energetic and clear-headed all night after meditating.Turning his head to look at Zhao Yong, who was lying soundly sleeping beside him, he quietly went to the fire pit to add some firewood inside, then pulled aside the tied curtains and got out of the tent.

When the guards at the gate saw me coming out, they wanted to greet me. I hurriedly signaled them to be silent, but they just saluted without making a sound.

The snow had stopped, and the night watchmen in the camp wandered slowly around with their spears in hand.One after another, the sound of snoring resounded through the sky, mixed with the sound of gnashing of teeth and talking in sleep.

Take a deep breath of the cold air, slowly walk outside the camp, stand in the snow and look into the distance.

Everywhere is a piece of white, white dazzling.

Inadvertently, it seemed that a figure on the hill in the distance disappeared in a flash.Alarmed in my heart, I immediately raised my heart and ran towards the hill.I once had the experience of catching a spy at night. Could it be another spy this time?

After being chased to a hill, he stopped and looked around, but he didn't see any living creatures.Looking down at the snow, I finally saw some footprints.The footprints are so faint that you can't see them if you don't pay attention.Can't help but sink in my heart, this is a master!

Who could be spying on our army?

I raised my vigilance to 120 points, and slowly turned my head to look around.When he saw a pine forest in the distance, he saw a light figure in white clothes disappearing in the forest in a flash.

Without thinking too much, he immediately chased after him.

The pine forest is not dense, and the white shadow ghosts are floating in front of it.Although he was as light as snow, his speed was not very fast, and I caught up with him without much effort.

"Stop!" I yelled and landed in front of the white shadow, "Who are you! Why are you spying on our army in the middle of the night?"

That white shadow obediently stopped in his tracks, and a pair of bright and energetic eyes pierced my face straight.He was wearing a snow-white mask, except for the two narrow slits where his eyes were, the whole mask was a blank slate.He was dressed in snow-white fox fur, with a pointed hat of white fluff on his head, and two fist-thick white fluffy long ornaments with white pompoms hanging down from his cheeks and sideburns under the brim of the hat.

I couldn't help but widen my eyes curiously, this man's attire is simply a barbarian.And he has a ghostly temperament, just like a snow demon.

He walked up to me slowly, took out a neatly folded note from his sleeve and put it in my hand, then turned around and jumped up to leave.

"Stop going!" I quickly stuffed the note into my arms, jumped up, reached out and grabbed his shoulder, Dantian took a deep breath, and the two of us fell to the ground heavily with a "communication".

The man in white shook his head helplessly, turned his face and said, "General, please put me down and leave, I'm just here to deliver a letter."

I shivered in fright, and let go of my hand in a hurry.Because the man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like the whispering of a wounded beast in the mountains.Seeing that I let go, the man in white jumped up again, and said, "General, it's not too late, come back quickly..."

I didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately came to my senses and jumped up to catch up with him again, but he couldn't avoid it, so I had to catch him again.

I'm very surprised, this person's lightness kungfu is so strange, why is he so helpless against me?

"Hey, why didn't the general put him down and leave?" The man in white turned around and said to me helplessly, and raised his hand to hold my hand that was holding his shoulder.

My heart jumped twice, and I stared at his snow-white hands with wide eyes in amazement.The feeling of being held by this hand is so familiar...

The man in white was frightened by my expression, and hurriedly let go of his hand and took a step back and said, "General, take your leave." After saying that, he jumped up in a panic.

"Don't go! Who are you?" I shouted loudly, and jumped to catch up.I saw the man in white suddenly waved his hand behind him, and a puff of white smoke rushed towards my face.

This white smoke smells so good...

A gust of warm water hit my face, and I suddenly woke up. I immediately sat up and stared around. It turned out that I was in my tent.

"General, why are you unconscious in the pine forest?" Zhao Yong asked worriedly, while wiping the water off my face with a sweat towel.

I grabbed the sweat towel and wiped it twice indiscriminately, then threw the sweat towel aside, reached into my arms, and found the neatly folded piece of paper.

Open the note, only to see that it says: Tune the tiger away from the mountain, return quickly.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain?

I looked at Zhao who was kneeling by the side in amazement.
