the enlightener says

"In fact, many people may not have suppressed their small hearts." Gao Yishui had just won a small game at that time. According to his habit, no matter whether he won or lost, he was only within ten taels of silver, so Qin Ke didn't forcefully drag him out of the gambling house. go out.

He stretched lazily, and continued: "It is human nature to follow the crowd, but this is not a bad thing, because most people do not have the ability to make the right choice. In this case, it is better to follow the pace of most people go."

He blinked mysteriously, and said with a smile: "But from the beginning to the end, the outcome is [-]-[-], isn't it?"

In fact, the current situation is similar, even if Wang Nan leads his men out to shout and drink, and can make a few people believe that Wang Xuanwei's reinforcements have arrived, how long can such a voice last in the vast crowd?

"Then what should we do?" Wang Nan said in a rough voice: "People won't believe me even if we shouted loudly. If we don't say anything, they won't know. Anyway, no one will believe what we say. Could it be that we have to grab that surnamed Lin by the neck and let him speak?"

Guo Kai looked at him seriously, nodded and said: "You are right."

Wang Nan's eyes widened.

Guo Kai continued: "The only solution now is to let Lin Xin...no, as long as any rebel general admits in front of everyone that the reinforcements have arrived, the current situation can be resolved."

"How is this possible?" Wang Nan pointed to the direction outside the stables, and said, "Let them say that the reinforcements are waiting for us outside Pinggu? Isn't it obvious that they want to slap themselves in the face? They did it because they didn't have any reinforcements." It’s wrong, now it’s all wrong, can’t you still hold your head and come back to apologize?”

"Of course not." Guo Kai said: "So we have to force him to speak..."

Qin Ke felt Guo Kai's burning gaze, and felt a chill run down his spine, and hurriedly said, "What do you mean? Just say what you have to say, don't look at me like that..."

Guo Kai raised his hand suddenly, folded his hands and bowed to the end: "Little brother, this matter...maybe only you can do it."

Qin Ke was flustered by Guo Kai's big gift, waved his hands repeatedly, and took several steps back.

"Being able to climb up from such a steep cliff proves that the little brother's cultivation is really good." Of course Guo Kai knew Qin Ke's concerns, and gently relieved: "The practitioners in the army are all familiar with it, and the little brother You have a strange face, I think they won't be on guard against you..."

"Okay, okay...I know what you want to say." Qin Ke covered his face, his slightly painful and tangled expression was covered under his palms, "It's very difficult for me to get in here, now It’s not a question of whether it’s difficult or not, it’s just courting death.”

"I didn't ask you to kill the general from the army." Guo laughed, "I just want the little brother to cooperate with us in a play..."

Outside the stables, soldiers on both sides were resting at a distance of about 150 steps.

In fact, this distance is still within the range of each other's bows and arrows, but not every Mohist cavalry has a hand crossbow as powerful as the black cavalry, and not every cavalry can move freely like the northern barbarians. Immediately open the bow and lead the arrow like a flat ground.

But this does not mean that the battle between the two sides is not fierce. On the contrary, when all the collisions become pure hand-to-hand combat and the interlacing of iron tools, the bloody meaning will only be stronger than the hail of guns and arrows.

Standing on a high place, Lin Xin looked at the tightly guarded stables, his teeth itching with hatred, if it wasn't for those few people who insisted on tea to assassinate Guo Kai, how could they let that soft bastard let him go ?

As soon as Guo Kai ran away, all his plans were messed up.

Now the sky is getting darker and darker. Once night falls, the attack will become more difficult. At the same time, the time limit for surrender he promised to the Tang army envoy will be delayed again and again.

"What's wrong with that guy, Lao Zhang? He procrastinated and didn't lead his troops out." Lin Xin was in a hot temper. While listening to his subordinate's report, he was discussing the offensive strategy with the two thousand-man generals beside him, and finally said In the middle of it, I couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled: "Lao Zhang won't back down in battle, right? He has the same virtue as tea, and he's also a softie!"

"Don't say that." Beside him, Hu Tian shook his head, "Things have come to this point, can he be allowed to retreat? Outside Pinggu, the Tang army is guarding him, and he himself has nowhere to go. If you want to survive, you can only follow us."

After hearing Hu Tian's words, Lin Xin felt a little relieved, but he still felt a little resentful, and said, "I called people to report three times, but I haven't brought anyone here yet. If it weren't for the fact that we only have Four thousand troops, I'm afraid that old man Guo Kai will be caught out long ago! And Wang Nan, a bastard, because of the little bit of hatred he had with the people of Tang, he would never surrender... Heh, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid. Burning firewood, my life is almost gone, and I still want to avenge my family and the country!"

Hu Tian also smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "Wang Nan...has always been an upright person. He can stick to his heart until now, which is his ambition. As for Zhang Jiuxin...he probably needs to integrate the people below, After all, many of his subordinates have been favored by Guo Kai for promotion, although they are suffocated this time, but if they really want to take a knife to rebel, they still have to weigh it."

"Hmph." Lin Xin sneered, "I don't have the patience to wait forever. I'll wait another quarter of an hour. If he can't bring anyone back, I'll go find him myself."

Suddenly, the wide fence of the stable in front of him was cracked by the voices from the opposite side, and a rough voice cursed loudly: "Your surname is Lin! You bastard bastard!"

Lin Xin suddenly became angry, and of course he recognized that the voice was Wang Nan's, and immediately shouted: "Wang Nan! Don't be arrogant! You and Guo Kai, that old man, will die at my hands sooner or later! "

"My surname is Lin! Come here! I'm afraid you won't succeed?" Wang Nan's figure gradually appeared in the gap, with soldiers holding crossbow arrows on both sides.

Lin Xin didn't dare to act rashly. After all, Wang Nan held [-]% of the crossbows in the army. This is why Lin Xin and Hu Tian didn't think carefully beforehand.

But when he took a closer look at the situation in the gap, he found that there were several staggering soldiers standing in front of Wang Nan, each with their heads bowed.

Unceremoniously, Wang Nan kicked a soldier on the back. After such a kick, the soldier couldn't stand upright and fell to the ground.

"Get up! God damned dog! Get up for me! Take the knife again! Take the knife and chop me!"

Apparently, Wang Nan left a little bit of strength in that kick, but his mercilessness was not out of compassion, but to let Lin Xin on the opposite side see more clearly, he roared loudly: "The one surnamed Lin Your methods are really low, and you still don’t forget to send assassins like me at this time. What a pity, you send assassins and you don’t send someone with better skills. You specially found these silly and bold people to amuse my brother and me?"

Standing on a high place, Lin Xin looked at the soldiers who were constantly being driven forward, and remained silent.

The two armies faced each other and could not attack for a long time. At this time, it would be unusual for him not to send people into the interior and wait for an opportunity to assassinate.

Although Guo Kai has the cultivation base of the first stage, as long as he finds the right time, it will still be white knives in and red knives out.

Once Guo Kai died, Wang Nan could not support himself alone, and the remaining generals with the surname of Lu were not worth mentioning. Naturally, this stable can be destroyed without attack.

It's just that Guo Kai and Wang Nan resisted desperately and guarded the stables, and at the same time, they captured all the assassins they had mixed in in such a short time.

In a few breaths, Wang Nan had already driven the people to the front of the formation, lined up, and several soldiers under his command kicked them down to their knees.

"Listen!" Wang Nan shouted to Lin Xin and Hu Tian's army, "Don't be fooled by this Lin man! Think about it carefully, how many Mohists have been killed by the Tang army this time? Common people? Zhao Kuan’s [-] soldiers were burned, and none of the remaining captives survived to this day? Now you have to lay down your weapons and hand over your life to those executioners... Really think that you are lucky Fate is big, can you sit back and relax?"

This was the uneasiness in everyone's hearts. After all, no one knew what kind of results everyone would get after surrendering to the Tang army. As he shouted more and more passionately, the soldiers sitting on the ground resting on Lin Xin's side also whispered.

Seeing that the army's heart was shaken, Lin Xin immediately retorted: "Don't listen to his nonsense! It is said that the Tang army killed prisoners in Jinzhou City, but which of you saw this with your own eyes? It's all rumors! The Tang army envoy has promised me that as long as we let go The weapon must give us a way to survive!"

"Fart!" Wang Nan interrupted him from the air, "Even if it is a desperate fight, at least you can die on the battlefield, at least you can leave a good reputation of dying for the country, but you voted for the Tang army this time, even if you saved your life How? Don’t forget, your wives, children, parents are all still in the Mohist family, how will you go to see them in the future? Even, if you vote for the Tang army, they might lose their heads!”

Although the laws of the Mohists are not very strict, no matter whether Confucianism or Legalism, they are merciless towards those who treason and surrender to the enemy.Once the news of their surrender is spread back to the countryside, the relatives in the family will be hated and disgusted by the neighbors at least, or they will be made things difficult by the government and held accountable.

Wang Nan saw that the soldiers on the opposite side were whispering more and more, and the expression on his face became hesitant, so he nodded secretly.

But this is not his ultimate goal.

When Lin Xin heard this, he sneered and said, "Scaremongering. What do we have to do with our family when we surrender to the Tang army? The Mohist school has never had such a precedent of implicating and punishing crimes. Besides, this battle will have a result sooner or later. When the time comes, the Mohist family will rule the world." Is it the same as it is today? It is still unknown. At least one life is left, and I can still see the end, and you..."

Wang Nan also sneered, and said: "The world of the Mo family... It turns out that you have already harbored a rebellious heart. Unexpectedly, you have eaten the rice of the Mo family for so many years, and now you want to connect with the rice that gave birth to you and raised you." Has the cauldron been smashed?"

Lin Xin was not ashamed, and raised his voice: "If you want to blame, you can blame that old man Guo Kai. I thought I could earn some credit by following him, but who ever wanted to die with him? What about serving the country, what about comrades ! Will the same robe drag the soldiers of the three armies to such a desperate situation?"

"If you are afraid of death, don't get involved with the soldiers of the three armies." Night finally fell, and the torches lit everywhere flickered. Wang Nan still couldn't see Lin Xin's face clearly. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "I and you This traitor has nothing to say, and I will return the people you sent to you now!"

After speaking, he waved his hand.

As Lin Xin opened his mouth to cry out, the soldiers beside Wang Nan flashed their swords, and five large heads shot up into the sky, blood splattered, staining the high fence of the stable red.

Of the six assassins, five of them had their heads cut off in a short period of time. Probably the smell of blood stimulated the numb nerves of everyone. Everyone was a little frightened.

But when the broadsword was raised high and was about to fall on the back of the last assassin's neck, Wang Nan raised his hand abruptly to stop the soldier's movement.

Chapter 489 The Walking Dead

"Here, I'll come in person." Wang Nan walked over slowly, stood behind the assassin, held the handle of the knife with one hand, and slowly drew the knife.

But before the long knife was unsheathed, he frowned slightly, and then took a big step back vigilantly. At this time, everyone saw the assassin who was kneeling on the ground with his hands bound He broke free from the shackles and stood up!

The assassin's speed was also very fast. While knocking away the stunned soldiers beside him, he snatched his long knife, a silvery white flashed in the fire, and the long knife slashed towards Wang Nan fiercely!

"General... General..." The soldier who fell on the ground uttered in shock. In his eyes, he just saw the long knife fall on Wang Nan's shoulder... Maybe Wang Nan is a practitioner, but he can't bear it. With such a knife, there is no way out, right?

But the next moment, he saw Wang Nan suddenly raised a leg, aimed at the assassin, and kicked him flying!

The assassin soared into the air, with blood gushing from his mouth, his facial features twisted and squeezed together.

"Damn it." Wang Nan glanced at his iron shoulder guard. He hadn't had time to pull out the knife just now, and it was the iron shoulder guard that helped him stop the assassin's fatal knife.

Seeing that the assassin was still struggling to get up on the ground, Wang Nan showed an indifferent smile on his face, raised his chin, and said, "It was almost done by you. But it doesn't feel good to be kicked by Lao Tzu, right?"

Then he grabbed the assassin's back collar and threw it towards the open space where the two armies faced each other.

"The surname is Lin! This guy, I'll give it back to you too!" Looking at the assassin who was clearly exhaling too much and not breathing in, Wang Nan looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Doctor! Doctor!" The camp tent had just been lifted, but the anxious general opened his mouth and shouted, and the four soldiers carrying the stretcher followed closely behind him.

Wearing a rough cloth shirt, the blood-stained military doctor was originally standing in front of a mat, instructing a few shabby soldiers to bandage their wounds, scolding them for not being able to do even small things, but when they heard the shouts at the door, their ears Immediately, he stood upright and trotted all the way.

Seeing the military doctor, Bai Jiang felt refreshed, and while calling his subordinates to put down the stretcher, he said, "Look at him, is he still alive?"

The military doctor didn't talk nonsense, first he stretched out a hand, touched the wounded man's neck, frowned immediately, and said, "Where is the injury?"

"It was a kick in the chest." Bai Jiang thought for a while, then hurriedly added, "It's not an ordinary kick."

"Nonsense, if an ordinary kick can kick people like this? I think it's only one breath away from death..." the military doctor said cursingly.

The pulse of the person on this stretcher has been weakened to a negligible level. If he hadn't practiced medicine for many years and has rich experience, he might doubt that the person carried in by the generals is a dead person at all.

With a kick like this, I think there is no one else except practitioners.

When the general heard the military doctor say this, his face was a little ugly, and he said, "Is it really hopeless?"

The military doctor shook his head, seeing the worry of the general, and thought that the person on the stretcher was the descendant of the general's relatives, everyone has compassion, even doctors are no exception, he sighed and said: "I'll give it a try, maybe I have a chance. You all go out, this place is very crowded, which affects my work."

The hundred generals also nodded, not knowing that the military doctor had misunderstood him. In fact, he had nothing to do with the wounded man lying on the stretcher. The reason why he was so anxious was that General Lin had issued a strict order to revive this man.

After all, this man is considered loyal and brave. After being captured, he still thought of finding an opportunity to kill Wang Nan at the moment of life and death. He and Hu Tian looked at each other, even though the face was covered with blood, it was almost impossible to distinguish the human appearance , but they immediately decided to make some gestures to buy people's hearts.

And more importantly, this assassin was the only one who "retrieved a life" from Guo Kai, allowing him to die silently like this seemed to let go of a great opportunity to snoop on the other party's internal news.

Bai Jiang wiped off the blood on the face of the person on the stretcher, looked at the young and immature face, sighed and closed his eyes.

Just a kid.

Afterwards, he bowed his hands solemnly to the military doctor, and said, "Then please leave it to the doctor."

After the hundred generals left with the men, the military tent became busy. The military doctor ordered two soldiers to help untie the man's armor on the stretcher, but as soon as the hands of the soldiers touched the man's body, the man lay on the stretcher. The dying person suddenly opened his eyes!

Before the military doctor and the pawns could react, in the blink of an eye, the man straightened up and stood upright.

The military doctor opened his mouth wide, and the soldiers took several steps back in fright.

A lot of folk tricks suddenly appeared in the minds of several people. The military doctor yelled and took the lead to run out of the camp. Even the wounded who had been lying on the mat and groaning before, also leaned on crutches and supported them. escaped.

While running, everyone shouted: "It's killing me! Walking dead!"

Walking corpses, this is a terrible situation in folklore. Most of them happen on thunderstorm nights. During thunderstorms, the corpses lying on the bed or in the coffin will be inexplicably aroused and sit up straight.

It is said that the soul of this kind of walking corpse still stays in the corpse and cannot escape, and it is suffering endlessly, so it will try every means to attack others and suck their flesh and blood, so as to get a moment's relief.

Of course, this is just a saying passed down from generation to generation of old people, and no one has seen it with their own eyes, but it does not prevent the people in the camp from feeling fearful.

"Walking corpse?" On the stretcher, the wounded who had just "resurrected from the dead" looked at the group of soldiers and military doctors who were swarming away in fright.

The young man on the stretcher is naturally Qin Ke.

In fact, from the very beginning, the scolding and killing before the battle was a scene.

Of course, those assassins whose heads were beheaded were real, but Guo Kai was still thinking about whether he could dig out something from those people and kill them again, but this time he could make them more useful. No need for nothing.

And Wang Nan's kick might seem powerful to others, but it's not enough to hurt Qin Ke. However, for the sake of effect, Qin Ke still condensed his blood on his chest and swallowed the kick forcefully. , by the way, spitting blood from the mouth and covering the face, that's why he looked so seriously injured that he was about to die.

The weak pulse detected by the military doctor is just that Qin Ke suppressed his blood, slowed down the flow of blood, and minimized all physical signs.

"We have to hurry up." Qin Ke spat bloody saliva on the ground. The stench of horse blood in his mouth could not be eliminated for a while. He suppressed his nausea and looked around.

The next moment, his figure disappeared in front of the military tent.

In Zhang Jiuxin's big camp, more than [-] people had assembled long ago, but they had lined up for a long time, but they didn't get any order, so they just stood there stupidly, looking at each other helplessly.

On the felt on one side of the tent, Zhang Jiuxin silently watched the dancing flames in the charcoal stove, and a pair of white palms that did not look like warriors on the battlefield hung above the charcoal stove, slightly roasting.

He has been roasting for a long, long time, but he has not withdrawn his hands while tossing and turning, not knowing what is going on in his heart.

If the hands are cold, the fire will naturally warm them.

If the heart is cold, what is the use of warming up?

A cold light suddenly flashed in the darkness of the tent, and then stayed in front of his neck.

"Who are you?" Zhang Jiuxin was still warming up, his voice was cold.

4 Chapter Ninety

The firelight reflected on Qin Ke's young and handsome face, showing a reddish outline. He was also observing the person in front of him, but doubts arose in his heart.

His master taught him the method of restraining his breath, and with the Xunfeng technique, he can even cover up all his voices, but even so, this General Zhang's reaction was too calm. Know that you will come normally.

"Is it General Zhang?" Qin Ke asked softly with the dagger in his hand steady.

"My surname is Zhang." Zhang Jiuxin smiled slightly, "But I don't know if this is the person you are looking for."

Qin Ke frowned, not very used to this kind of literati-like words, but he had a mission and didn't intend to waste too much time talking.

"General Zhang, are you controlling the army outside?"

"It's me." Zhang Jiuxin nodded, completely ignoring the coldness of the dagger around his neck, "Are you sent by Mr. Guo? Or...Lin Xin?"

Qin Ke was slightly taken aback: "General Lin? Hey, aren't you in the same group? Why did he send someone to kill you?"

Zhang Jiuxin heard Qin Ke's doubts, smiled slightly, and said: "It seems that you were sent by Mr. Guo. As for why Lin Xin wanted to kill me...of course it's because I haven't sent troops to support him yet. With his shrewdness, he will naturally suspect that I have treasonous intentions. There are more than [-] people gathered under my command, if I betray him, wouldn't he be the enemy?"

Qin Ke hurriedly asked: "Then what are your plans now?"

"How do you plan?" General Zhang smiled wryly, and finally put down his hands warming the fire, "I don't know..."
