After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 458 The First Effort

Unanimous voice: "Listen clearly!"

The voice was like thunder, approaching the sky, startling many night herons.

The envoy swallowed, and saw the red general throwing the decree back to him: "Come here, take the envoy down to have a rest. He will take this decree to Panlong City tomorrow."

Two soldiers stepped forward and led the messenger away.

The Red General held his waist knife and stood facing Panlong Army.

What she wore today was a ghost head mask, which was particularly ferocious under the light of the dancing fire.

A gust of night wind blows.

She didn't move, and thousands of people stood still.

After a while, the Red General ordered in a deep voice: "Wait for Commander Zhong to make a final decision. Disband now, go back and rest!"

The crowd remained motionless.

The Red General turned around and strode away.

It wasn't until her back disappeared into the darkness that there was a bang in the west square of the city, and she was almost blown over by the scolding.

The Panlong Army's anger was almost higher than the torches held by everyone.

There were sounds of spitting and cursing everywhere, and He Lingchuan heard that someone beside him had already greeted the No. 19 ancestor of the monarch.

How disrespectful.

The door panel did not bring a shield, so he could only stomp his feet on the ground: "Mahle... Those gangsters in the capital are cowards, and they have sons who don't have prickly eyes!"

Hu Min spat into the hole he stepped on: "Why don't we go all the way back to Xiluo and take down the capital, so as not to be splinted here!"

Arlo hissed him: "Don't talk nonsense."

Liu Tiao asked He Lingchuan: "Broken knife, what's wrong with us fighting all the way back? I don't need a soldier from the mother country to help. Why, why..." The monarch couldn't continue, she took a deep breath in anger, I am smooth.

"Why are you afraid that we will go back?" He Lingchuan said lightly, "We are too strong, while the mother country is too weak."

Everyone looked at each other, thinking back to the decree read by General Hong just now, it sounded condescending and majestic, but it was filled with unbearable exasperation.

"Defending against the border people in the northwest is more important than defending against the enemy."

"Exactly!" Soldiers from other teams nearby heard it, and echoed loudly, "Defending the border people in the northwest is better than defending the enemy. Mother is defending us, us!"

Having stayed alone in the enclave for more than ten years, but being so jealous, suspicious and excluded by the mother country, no one's heart is cold.

"That's right, the mother country would rather borrow troops from the Beja country than let us go back!"

"It's better not to have such a mother country!"

There was a commotion all around.

After an unknown amount of time, He Lingchuan finally heard the most crucial sentence:

"It's better not to return to such a mother country!"

Soon someone responded:
"Yeah, when I go back, I will be ostracized and looked down upon by others. It's better to stay in the Chipa Plateau."

"You have to figure it out, it's the adults who will be excluded when you go back, what has it to do with us? We are soldiers, how can we not be used?"

"Go back to be cannon fodder?" Someone retorted bluntly, "The [-] elites who were transferred away by their home country last time were all good men here. Run, see how much is left now? What about elite soldiers, you and I have gone back, and this is the end of everything!"

"Will the monarch love soldiers like sons like Mr. Zhong, and will he move soldiers like a god like the Red General? Look at their domestic chaos, the more peaceful the more chaos!"

"Yeah, the soldiers love one, and they will love a nest. If we go back like this, it will be the grass in the troubled times at most, how can we be rich on the Chipa Plateau!"

He Lingchuan let out a soft breath when he heard the noise in his ears.

So, King Xiluo's reaction was really within Panlong City's expectations, right?
Everything Panlong City did was based on the "fear" of King Xiluo.

Before the monarch issued the relocation order, Panlong City ran away, this is impatient;

The Panlong Army did not follow the Jinxi Corridor given by the Baling Kingdom at all, but found another way to fight all the way back from the Xiyu Kingdom.
It takes only a few days to destroy a country, but Xi Luo is far from being able to do it, this is a proud soldier;
The above traits are superimposed, which king is not afraid?
If Zhong Shengguang returns to Xiluo with such an army, who can be his opponent in the whole country?
Wouldn't it be easy for such an army to take down the capital of Xiluo?
Therefore, even if the monarch hesitated before, after hearing Zhong Shengguang's news of the great victory in Xi'an, he finally made up his mind:

Never let them come back!

Relocation order?no more.

Originally, some courtiers opposed Qian'an, thinking that the Panlong Wasteland was the land of Xiluo and the foundation of the ancestors, and could not be ceded at will.

Then in the name of righteousness, order the Panlong Army to guard the border area and the territory of Yongzhen!
He Lingchuan even doubted when the Red General uploaded the victory report.

If they waited until the Xiluo Palace was conquered and then sent news to the mother country, it would take at least ten days for the news to come and go, then it was impossible for the envoys from Xiluo Capital to arrive at Yuheng City so quickly.

That is to say, the Red General first passed the good news to Xi Luo, and then led the army to besiege Xiluo Palace in a leisurely manner.

The Red General, or in other words, the god of heaven, really didn't pay attention to the two countries of Xilong and Xiluo.

In the west of Yuheng City tonight, the Panlong Army is destined to spend a sleepless night.

He Lingchuan looked towards the direction where the Red General had disappeared before.

This should be the strategy of Zhong Shengguang and the Red General.

They know very well that public opinion cannot be violated or blocked, but they can be guided, so the questioning and anger of the generals and the people have been directed to the Xiluo Kingdom.

This is called, advance as retreat.

In fact, the Xiluo Kingdom is the culprit, and there is nothing wrong with this blame.

If it weren't for its weakness and cowardice, the soldiers and civilians of Panlong would not have suffered so much.

And Zhong Shengguang and others don't know what price they will pay in the future if they choose to stay in the Panlong Wasteland!
If you insist on returning to China at this time, can you avoid the heroism of more than ten years later?Can everyone live in peace?

Because of the emperor's reprimand, Panlong's army postponed its return to the east, and continued to station in Yuheng City, confronting Jin Yu's army.

The envoy of Xiluo hastened his horse and went to Panlong City to find Zhong Shengguang.

Obviously, the Red General and his army must wait for Panlong City's final decision.

……

At dawn, He Lingchuan went to fetch water with a bucket, but saw several figures by the river.

One is by the river, and the others are far away.

Just by looking at his back, he could confirm that the man by the river was the Red General.

Her aura is too strong.

"Who?" The guards behind the Red General were impressed, and glanced over sharply.

The Red General's voice was very peaceful: "It's okay, let's get you some water."

Without looking back, she knew what he was going to do.

He Lingchuan stepped forward, rinsed the bucket in the river, and asked, "Why doesn't the general rest?"

The Red General stood facing east, looking at the white mist floating on the river:
"I do not need."

That's right, He Lingchuan just remembered that she has been transformed into a demigod through divine power, and she doesn't need to eat, drink and sleep like ordinary creatures to maintain her physical fitness.

There are people behind her, but it feels to He Lingchuan that she is isolated from the world and isolated from the whole world.

"General."

The Red General didn't say a word, but turned his mask slightly.

"Even if the monarch objects, the army can still fight all the way back?"

"If you call back, do you know what we will face?"

He Lingchuan shook his head: "I only know that we don't have to face anything."

"Oh?"

"After returning to China, at least we don't have to face the joint attack of Baling and Xianyou, and we are no longer alone and helpless."

The Red General nodded: "And then?"

then……

"Even if you can return to the country, do you think that the Panlong Army and these millions of civilians can live a life of stability and prosperity, away from war?" The Red General said indifferently, "That's impossible. There is no such pure land in the world."

But they can be saved from destruction, and the story of Panlong Wasteland will not end with the most tragic ending.Of course, He Lingchuan couldn't say this, so he could only say categorically: "It's worth a try! At least in Xiluo Kingdom, there are still two things worth striving for!"

"What is it?"

"Future and hope!" and a chance to escape fate.

The Red General raised his head slightly, as if touched.

"Do you think that the future and hope will be in Xiluo?" Her voice was indifferent, and the sarcasm hidden in it could only be discerned by listening carefully.

"Could it be that the Panlong Wasteland is surrounded by enemies?" He Lingchuan said bluntly, "Even if Master Zhong goes back to seize the country, the foundation he laid is better than that in the wasteland?"

The Red General smiled: "Dare to speak out? He Lingchuan, you are very courageous." In China, if you dare to make such remarks without killing your head, you will lose half your life.

"What I said was just what the Panlong Army thought." He Lingchuan took a deep breath and solemnly asked, "General, please take us back to China!"

The Red General didn't reply, but turned to look east again.

After crossing the river and walking for a few miles, we will reach the border guarded by heavy troops of the Jinyu Kingdom.

He Lingchuan felt that she was also at war with heaven and man in her heart?

"Get some water and go back."

So He Lingchuan saluted her, filled a bucket of clear river water, and left without looking back.

Anyway, he tried.

But even if he joined the Gale Army, he is still very soft-spoken now, and the Red General doesn't listen to his opinions.

This opportunity to reverse the final fate of Panlong City may have been missed just like this.

He Lingchuan sighed helplessly, and then remembered the conversation between King Yuan and his nephew Shao Jian that he had heard in the ruins of Qianxing City.

King Yuan firmly believed that the three things he asked his nephew to send to Zhong Shengguang were more important than himself and the whole country of Yuan.

What about Zhong Shengguang?

Would he feel the same way?

After returning, He Lingchuan lay back in the dilapidated house and looked up at the starry sky through the big hole in the roof.

The deeper he immerses himself in this soulland, the more he cares about things, the less he wants it to come to a predestined end.

But this history is extremely stubborn, and it seems very difficult for him to change the ending.

After dawn, everything was as usual.

Hu Min said to everyone: "Let's open a handicap. Who guesses going east, who guesses going west?"

"Is your gambling addiction infected by the skinny man?" Liu Tiao snorted, "For a tael of silver, I bet that the Red General will continue to advance eastward. It's all here, how can there be any reason to return after being disappointed?"

Hu Min sneered at He Lingchuan: "Captain, what about you?"

"I will return west."
