Chapter 33 The heart is not ancient
"Have you tasted roasted termites? That's the delicacy I still miss!" Yun Zheng picked up a glass of wine and toasted the black bone poison, then drank it dry in one sip.
"I know what you are afraid of, and I also know what fear feels like. After I ran away the leopard, I felt exhausted and felt uncomfortable all over. I dragged two bundles of firewood and moved back to the village step by step and just wanted to have a big sleep. But it didn't work. My brother hadn't eaten yet, so I resisted my fear and cooked for him. It was not until the brat fell asleep that I watched the moon cry for half the night.
You and I are both men, and this life does not necessarily belong to us. When we have no choice, we can only protect our vitals with both hands and rush forward with our eyes closed. Whether we are dead or alive, we are not pitying us.
You must want to die at this time, but you don’t dare to die. In fact, it’s easy to die. Just look for a knife to touch the neck and just finish it. The problem is what should you do if your wife and children are left behind after death? There are a lot of troubles. No matter what the decision is, have you ever made one thing really decided for yourself?”
The black bone poison let out a long breath. I don’t know how long it had been in his chest. Yun Zheng thought he was going to spit out the air and suffocate himself to death. Fortunately, he started to inhale again, sucking so greedily that there was even a hissing sound from the corner of his mouth.
The breathless black bone poison immediately came to the front of the short table, held the wine jar and drank half of the jar, and finally stuffed the jar into Yun Zheng's hand and said, "From now on, I will be a dead person, and anything I do has nothing to do with the black bone poison."
The monkey knew his son's obsession with cleanliness, so he took the jar of wine from the son without showing any silence. He took a jar of wine again and put it in the young master's hand. After pouring the wine bowl in front of Wu Gu Du, he smiled and said, "Drink another sip. The wine is a good thing to restore the yang energy. Now that the yin energy is full of the sky, you must live in the yang world and not be contaminated with too much filthy energy."
Wugu Du drank it dry without thinking, threw down the wine bowl and roared at the monkey: "Full up!" There was a bit of the heroic spirit of the Liao nobles. He turned his head and said to Yun Zheng: "Can you be a ghost? Will you be a ghost who blesses your wife and children to continue to live?"
Yun Zheng sighed and said, "I have been doing this kind of ghost for a long time."
Wugu Du said with tears in his eyes: "I should have died. When I was in the border gate several times, I used the body of my guards as my shield to survive. One of them was my half-brother. It was just that his mother was a slave, so he could not become a nobleman. He was smarter than me since he was a child. I was afraid that he would take my property and could not kill him. I promised my father to give him a bowl of rice. I always thought he hated me very much and always wanted to kill me. Unexpectedly, he lent me the horse at the last moment..."
"Are you sure you will kill Xiao Huoer?" After drinking a few bowls of wine, the eyes of the black bone poison were covered with blood, which was very obvious in the rising sun.
"Xiao Huoer can't escape the fate of becoming a wax man..."
Wugu Du threw the dried wine jar out of the tent and shouted: "Since that's the case, we will go and kill Guo Hengchuan today!"
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, remember to go to Hequ to pick your guards away. Maybe your half-brother is not dead. I will give you a warrant. As long as it is your guard, you can take it away, and your armor and weapons will be returned to you. As for others, they will be sent back to Tokyo to become slaves!"
Wugu Du knelt down and thanked him. Yun Zheng smiled with satisfaction and left his military tent with his hands behind his back. A desperate person always gave him the most reason to survive. This guy couldn't untie his knot and always felt that he was sorry for the Beijing Army. In fact, the biggest reason for thinking this way was because he needed to find an excuse to continue living. He always felt that he was a little unreliable and had a little bit of relief for himself. Yun Zheng said it very differently. The reason why he betrayed his clan members was because he also had his wife, children, and even his half-brother who needed to take care of or repay him.
The black bone poison at this time must be a person who loves his family very much. You can't associate him with the black bone poison that left his wife and concubine three months ago and fled.
This is Xiong Erduo Mountain, and it is also the garrison of Yun Zheng's tent. It is less than forty miles away from Shibapan. It is the only mountain outside Yanmen Pass that can barely station the army. In the past, Guo Hengchuan's central army tent was established here. Later, the weather continued to heat up. It was impossible for 200,000 infantrymen to stay in this small mountain village, and there was insufficient water source. In order to kill the enemy nearby, Guo Hengchuan's central army also entered Shibapan.
A clearing was opened by the Liao people by the stream. After ten thousand Song troops were stationed in, they seemed empty. Everyone was sleeping quickly and preparing for the upcoming hard battle. They could only sit next to the stream and stuff their feet into the stream, but their eyes were facing the flying eagles in the sky. He didn't like heat, and didn't like it at all. He took off his favorite fur and put on the clothes of the Han family. He always felt something was wrong. He never thought it would be so hot here, so whenever he had the chance, he would squat in the shade of the tree and stick out his tongue.
Even with such relaxed time, he couldn't enjoy it for long. After a while, he was driven aside by Ge Qiuyan and helped her with Su Shi. Since the first sight of the stream, she really wanted to take a shower.
After Yun Zheng woke up, he quickly washed his face and started sitting in the military tent waiting for the news. In a short while, the scout came back.
"The team led by Wugu Du has reached the 18th plate. It is now handing over the grain. Wugu Du doesn't want to see Guo Hengchuan, and Guo Hengchuan seems to be unwilling to see Wugu Du. He just sent a relative general named Guo Rufeng to receive the grain. Everything is normal at present."
"The three thousand elite cavalry led by Xiaolin have pulled out the post of the Liao people on Gouzhu Mountain and safely arrived at the hidden valley. As long as the cannon sounds from the mouth of Shibapangu, they will be covered and killed."
"Peng Jiu's cavalry has also pretended to be Wu Gu Du's subordinates and camped outside Shiba Pan, and together with Wu Jie, they acted as the main force to capture the city. As long as Wu Gu Du is proposed to enter Shiba Pan tomorrow, they will quickly follow up and take the opportunity to seize the city gate established by the Liao people."
"The baggage team led by Liang Ji is about to arrive at Xionger Mountain. They will not stop at Xionger Mountain and are preparing to march towards the 18 Pan overnight. Tomorrow evening, the baggage team will definitely reach the 18 Pan."
"Li Dongchu already knew the intention of the army at Tiegou Gate. From tonight, he started to beat drums to disturb the Liao people. If necessary, he would send a small group of troops to harass the Liao army and prevent Guo Hengchuan from leaving Tiegou Gate easily."
"The young army's cavalry has been patrolling the road between Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass. The scout has been placed at the city of Ningwu Pass as far as the time, and Jiang Zhe has also received a war report sent by Hai Dongqing, and replied that he would hold Yelu Dagu tightly and prevent him from returning to Yanmen Pass."
Su Shi wiped the sweat from his head, sorted out all the military newspapers and reported them to Yun Zheng, who was thinking about her with his eyes closed.
After a while, Yun Zheng opened his eyes and said, "It's time to really compete for strength. Guo Hengchuan has worked hard to manage this capital army over the years, and he doesn't know what the combat power is. Last time we caught him off guard with crossbow arrows and gunpowder. However, even in the end, those people didn't surrender much, and it seemed that their combat power was still considerable.
Su Shi ordered that each soldier's gunpowder and crossbow arrows should be doubled. As long as he can kill the enemy with long-range weapons, try not to use hand-to-hand combat. Gunpowder should also be ambushed at the entrance of the valley, and try to cut off or block Guo Hengchuan's attack front. The narrower the attack front, the more beneficial it will be to us. As for how many capital troops can be eaten in the end, it depends on God's arrangement."
Su Shi hurriedly left the military tent and went to convey the commander's order. Ge Qiuyan grabbed his wet hair with his hand and lay on the guard's tent and peeked at him. He found that Yun Zheng was the only one inside, so he slipped in and sat aside to comb his hair.
"When your hair is dry, put on your armor. From now on, it has entered wartime. You can no longer walk in women's clothing in the army. After the Yanmen War is over, you will go back to Tokyo. It is not good to stay in the army. Besides, Qianqian is still young and cannot do without her mother."
Yun Zheng looked down at the report and silenced at Ge Qiu's smoke.
Ge Qiuyan smiled and said, "Didn't I just take a shower here? As for chasing me back?"
"It's not your bathing thing, it's that the female family members in our army were relatively relaxed a few days ago, so I didn't let you leave. Haha, I'm not a qualified general myself. How to govern my subordinates, the next one is a hard battle. The outcome is often in the blink of an eye. It's difficult to live a peaceful life in the future. I can't stand you for hardship. Hardship is a matter for men, and war requires women to walk away."
Ge Qiuyan stood up and hugged her husband and smiled, "When it comes to suffering, you may not have suffered a lot than I have. If you don't bother you, you will put on your hair and put on armor to be your little soldier. Hanniu is no match for me, and you underestimate me too much."
Yun Zheng and his wife were tender and sweet. Guo Hengchuan was in front of the fire-like Tiewomen Village, and his chest was so desolate that he was in front of the fire. Just now, his rebellious son actually personally took the Eight Niu Crossbow to shoot at him. Yun Zheng, who was sitting on the high platform, even applauded and laughed. The Song army on the city wall also laughed loudly. The rebellious son, who was doing such a beast, actually laughed loudly, and said that he would cut off his head himself.
No matter how powerful the Eight Niu Crossbow is, it can't do anything to him at a distance of about a hundred feet. However, although the arrow failed, Guo Hengchuan still felt that the arrow hit his heart.
This rebellious son cannot be allowed to live one more day. As long as he lives one more day, the morale of his army will be depressed. No matter what, he must lure and kill this rebellious son. (To be continued...)
