Should the soul

In the middle of the night, on the cold grassland in the north, the icy cold wind rolled up the withered grass. Countless people gathered around and held torches.

Three priests in white robes stood in a triangular shape, staring at the high altar. He Ruo Khan and the generals stood behind them in traditional grassland prayer costumes. During the dance, a gorgeously dressed girl was bound behind her back and led onto the altar. Her mouth was gagged, and she stared at the scene at her feet with a pair of huge clear eyes, tears streaming from her eyes.

The major events of the country lie in sacrifice and Rong.Not only the Central Plains, but also the grasslands.

With the end of a series of tedious prayer ceremonies, He Ruo Khan personally raised the torch. With solemn eyes and majestic steps, he threw the first flame to the altar while the girl was shaking her head and crying. The believer threw the torch in his hand onto the altar, and the flammable dark green liquid ignited a magnificent flame.

In the year of the grassland, at the beginning of winter, He Ruo Khan presented the daughter of the Yan family to the sky.

At the beginning of the night, it snowed heavily.

·

Strong wind, blizzard, cold, war.

As if it was a catastrophe that would destroy the world, a woman screamed sharply in a trance. She kicked her legs while crying, and a wave like a lake surged in the cold snow, holding the wrath of the sky, and then suddenly shook There was an avalanche of snow waves, as if a giant of heaven and earth suddenly knelt down, and with a bang, everything was submerged in the wind and snow.

Zhou Yin gasped and sat up abruptly.

"What's wrong……"

Tang Fang rubbed his eyes and sat up. He was wrapped in a thick blanket. He woke up when he heard the strange movement around him. "Having a nightmare again? What is the dream this time?"

Zhou Yin squeezed the roots of the mountain wearily, and shook his head: "It's okay, it's still those."

Big floods, big storms, blood, bloody massacres, and sometimes dead relatives appear in dreams, all of which are bloody and bizarre dreams.A few days ago, Zhou Yin had a dream and Tang Fang thought he was under a lot of pressure, but he thought that it was not enough. He had just crossed the border and hadn't started fighting yet. Mr. Zhou's mental quality is so bad now?Later, when I asked those generals, they said that they also dreamed, but each person's level was different. Only then did Tang Fang understand that the skills of the Baishen Sect are also available here.

"Disturbing the mind," Tang Fang summed it up in place: "There is no actual lethality, just add more soothing incense."

Tang Fang tossed his hair, went barefoot to light some tranquilizing incense, looked at the faint skylight penetrating into the tent, thought that their guards would wake them up after half a cup of tea, and asked in his heart: "Little Kong Jie, did you dream last night?"

Kong Jie: "No, I slept pretty well."

Tang Fang turned around and said to Zhou Yin: "It may be about the bracelet, Kong Jie has never dreamed about it."

Originally, Tang Fang's dream was connected with Kong Jie, but recently he spends most of the night in his body.

Kong Jie took the initiative to say: "Let's return the bracelet to the Duke. I don't have anything to do, and it's useless to carry it."

Tang Fang smiled: "No, a few dreams can't do anything to him."

In fact, Zhou Yin doesn’t wear fox fur anymore once he crosses the border. As a commander, he needs to make sure that his body temperature perception is the same as that of the soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield, and determine how far his soldiers can rush in such weather. To what degree of severe cold can it withstand, and whether it will affect the confrontation between the two armies because of the cold, he must be aware of these details. If this is really not a dream, the soldiers are still dreaming. status, that would be troublesome.

Tang Fang opened the big tent, went out with Zhou Yin, and raised his eyes to look at the gray sky in the distance: "I don't know when that guy Qu Tu will come, whether he can make it in time."

This is the northern foot of Saihanba, facing the Shenyan Lake, and is located on the eastern edge of the Hunshandake Sandy Land. In the distance, there are mountains stretching, not very high, altar-shaped, and not steep. There are sparse and dense.Their large army was stationed along the direction of Saihanba. At a glance, there were twelve coalition camps covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres. The military flags were unfurled, and there were bursts of shouts and shouts.

Tang Fang's eyes fell on the chaotic skyline in the distance: This is the seventh day that the sun has not risen.The clouds were so thick that he couldn't see the specific situation of the sky at all. Even he had to admit at this moment that he already felt some mysterious power controlling the battlefield.

At this time, Yining suddenly walked over with a hurried expression, and whispered something to Zhou Yin.

Zhou Yin said to Tang Fang: "Another batch of chickens and ducks in the kitchen have died."

Tang Fang frowned.Yining also looked at him.

Tang Fang: "I can't wait any longer, the morale of the army will start to be chaotic."

In war, it is important to observe the time and wait for action, and do not move when the time is right. Generally speaking, the army should not act so hastily, but now that the opponent's invisible "tricks" have come, in order to prevent the situation from worsening for one's own side, they can only act first.

Tang Fang: "I'll try a small-scale attack first to see if it goes well. If it goes well, I'll solve the problem of Baishen Sect first."

It would be fine if the Baishen Sect only engages in these gods and ghosts, but if there is something they do later, they can contact them first and give Zhou Yin feedback at that time.This is a major event that will affect 20 troops, so we must be cautious.

Zhou Yin: "Okay."

Yining was about to leave after finishing his business, but Tang Fang suddenly called to him: "Hey Yining, I want to ask you something!"

Yining turned around.

Tang Fang smiled: "Are you dreaming?"

Yining was a little confused: "No."

Tang Fang opened his eyes wide: "Are you wearing an amulet?"

Yining rubbed his chest, and smiled: "Yes, my wife begged for me before going out to fight, and enshrined the mantra that I recited for a long time in front of the Buddha."

God, a person like Yi Ning, who doesn't eat oil, salt, or raw food, actually laughed when he said this.Tang Fang quickly waved his hand to let him go to work, "Very good, it's all right, let's go!"

When there were no outsiders in front of the tent, Zhou Yin and Tang Fang looked at each other silently.

Tang Fang asked Zhou Yin a little embarrassedly: "Is it too late for me to ask you for one now?"

Zhou Yin: ...

Little Kong Jie was very curious about what would happen in the barracks before he set off. He thought that if he followed the Duke and His Highness, it must be a turbulent day.

No results, it’s been seven days, and they haven’t even had a thrilling thing. Every day, they just hold a meeting in the sand table, bicker, and then each go to see how their soldiers are training. It feels more like a change. This place is preparing for war, and even the preparations at this time are not as tense as they were in Beijing.

And His Highness resumed his leisurely style, swaying his arms around the barracks all day long, even worse than when he was in Dongdu, stuffed with earplugs, looking like he couldn't wake up, doing nothing in various places. Walking around in the military camp, not only visiting your own camp, but also visiting other people's camps, is a state where a lot of hatred can be drawn out by walking around.

The generals above the colonel in the military tent are all famous generals. The older ones have experienced many battles, while the younger ones are the elites with a sharp knife. Only "Kong Jie" is an unknown generation. At first, I didn't understand where this No. [-] person came from. On the day of setting up the camp, I saw that "Kong Jie" didn't even want the tent in his own camp. He stopped, and stared at a group of people in a daze.

They suddenly understood something, and then suddenly they didn't understand it even more.

After further inquiry, this person has no actual combat experience, and was ordered by His Majesty and the Duke.

They breathed a sigh of relief and became even more depressed. Didn't this person bow down to His Majesty and Duke?

If it is an ordinary person, if someone obviously shouldn't live together in the military camp and spend the night together, they must come to persuade them, but that is the Duke, they only dare to worry and dare not speak, so they are all silently considering this matter What is the right time to choose the right time to speak to the public.

A few older people, such as Yang Gong and others, did not react as strongly as the young people. When they saw "Kong Jie"'s cloak and gun, they fell into an intriguing silence, expressing that they did not intend to get involved in this matter. I also advised them not to use this matter to cause trouble in front of the Duke.

But these young people who are waiting to make military exploits can't be so Buddhist, and finally they got together to reach a basic consensus, that is, any of them can be the vanguard, anyway, it can't be "Kong Jie" as the vanguard, and now He Ruo's vanguard They have already reached the north bank of the Luan River, and they can all win this first victory, only "Kong Jie" can't. If the Duke dares to use this matter as nepotism, then they will have to make it clear at the conference table.

"Kong Jie" turned a blind eye to their hostility and did not shy away from it at all. He swaggered and slept in the Duke's big tent all day long, sleeping with him, what should he do, what to eat, what to sleep, what to do. Go shopping, arrive on time for the daily regular meeting, and discuss with people without blushing.

"He Ruo has formed an alliance with Alan Little Khan, and a total of 20 cavalry are actively preparing for battle."

"A lot of things have happened in the army recently. The generals comforted the soldiers under their command. Those who couldn't sleep well went to get the peace talisman and soothing powder from Taichang Temple."

"The scouts went deep into the sand dunes in the northwest, and they still haven't locked the location of the White God Sect."

"We have no disagreement on the general direction of thinking: in order to avoid the morale of the army being shaken, we should first pull out the nails of the White God Sect, but now we can't lock the position, and it's not an option to waste time. Commander, do you want to make a move first by fighting and practicing?"

"The scout sent a message that He Ruo Khan burned his daughter who was related to him by blood five days ago, and asked the White God to descend the power of the gods."

"Why are the gods in their grassland so bloody? I really feel sorry for He Ruo's daughter, who has such a father."

"Too unscrupulous."

"It's unscrupulous. Maybe He Ruo and the others think they can win. After all, it is really difficult to fight against divine power with human power."

A snort suddenly came from the end of the conference table.

Tang Fang accepted the words with a smile: "Destroying humanity in order to seek divinity, he is not afraid that if things fail today, they will be punished by God in the future."

Everyone paused, looked at him involuntarily, and fell into a moment of silence.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, the big tent was opened, and Wen Hongyuan walked in quickly to report that soldiers outside Dongying had fought.Zhou Yin asked whose team it was.Wen Hongyuan looked at Tang Fang: "General Kong's."

Tang Fang was not ashamed, and immediately slapped the table and laughed: "This group of talented people, I know they are causing trouble!"

The people on the table looked at him again, and the complex emotions that had turned in their hearts just now were shattered again, and they were speechless for a while.

Tang Fang asked Wen Hongyuan what was going on outside, and Wen Hongyuan said flatly and straight-forward, saying that Jiao Shen, General Kong’s subordinate, led people to ask for a change of general, and that General Kong was because of his relationship with the Duke of Guo. Those who lead the army only because of their relationship, either you go to explain to them, or change to another general, they don't want to fight with the one who walked through the back door, and then the two groups started a dispute.

"Go through the back door..."

Tang Fang repeated these three words, pursed his lips and smiled.Little Kong Jie couldn't remember the head at all, and asked him who and who it was in his heart, Tang Fang explained to him in his heart, saying that it was the "old three hundred" who brought a group of people with reason and evidence because they were not satisfied with him. He asked for a change of generals, and "Shanshoumei" wanted to maintain discipline, but he clashed with the "old three hundred", and now the two sides are fighting.

Tang Fang raised his head and asked, "Is there any reaction to 'one bubble'?"

Wen Hongyuan frowned: "Who is that?"

Tang Fang compared the corners of his mouth, "There is a bubble here that hasn't disappeared yet."

Wen Hongyuan: "I didn't pay attention."

The thing is like this, it’s not that someone else gives you a title and you will be stable. Even if a person has a background, if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu wants to promote him, he still has to rely on his strength to speak in front of everyone.The young generals all showed expressions of disdain, while Tang Fang frowned, said "Oh", and then looked at the conference table: "I made everyone laugh, let's continue the meeting."

Generals:? ? ?

They glared at him in shock: The noise outside is almost entering the handsome tent, what's going on with you?Can't get up with your butt against the chair?

At this time, there was another burst of noise outside, and Zhou Yin, who had been drawing pictures of mountains and rivers with his head down, finally raised his head at this moment, raised his hand with a pen in his hand and nodded: "Kong Jie, go out and take care of it."

Tang Fang stood up with a smile and began to raise the price: "Commander, I can take care of it, but I don't have military merits, so I can't hold them down. They must be making trouble."

Zhou Yin looked at him quietly: "Then what are you going to do?"

Tang Fang smiled: "Let's fight the first battle! He Ruo's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is in the Luanhe River! Whoever is not convinced, everyone will be convinced after winning the battle!"

There were a few faint laughs, and someone showed a contemptuous expression, thinking, you are a person who can't even lead soldiers, and you still have to fight against the tiger and leopard cavalry to win.

Tang Fang didn't look at Zhou Yin at this time, but only looked at the rest of the people on the table, and said with a smile: "Everyone, my team is not easy to lead, please be considerate, if I don't make it, you can go again!"

This time, no one spoke anymore, and no one expressed any objection. If the first army can't be defeated, the second wave will go up again. Such a contribution will indeed appear greater.Zhou Yin lowered his head and waved his hands, telling him to go quickly as if he thought he was bothering him. Tang Fang immediately said "Hey!" and strode out with a happy smile: "The humble job brought people away!" After walking out, everyone He could still hear his arrogant roar outside the tent: "Where are those rebellious bastards?!"

The big tent maintained a few snaps of silence, and all the generals did not speak, but a young general on the conference table laughed softly, and asked jokingly: "Our golden boy just left? It won't be impossible to come back. ?”

Zhou Yin didn't speak, and several senior commanders of the Xiang army didn't speak. Yan Shigu thought for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and looked over, saying: "Don't underestimate him. You will be frightened by him."
