Ruthless debt

It is said that the sun will be shining brightly three days later, which happens to be a good day for marching. All the generals came to report one by one early in the morning, saying that the soldiers and horses have finished on the hour and only wait for Qian Che to issue an order.As soon as he raised his hand, the sound of drums shook the sky instantly, and all the soldiers came down the mountain like a tiger, and the mountain shouted: "We must win, we must win..." His voice was as strong as mountains and rivers, and his eardrums were about to burst.

Qian Che and the generals all wore leather armor and led the team towards the desert with halberds in hand.

Eight hundred camels walked to the left side of the army at intervals, and water bags were carried between the humps for the soldiers to take at any time.Another two hundred camels carried food and grass to the end of the team.

After doing this for five days, the morale was still high, and there were so many impatient people, the marching speed was inevitably a bit slow.The soldiers who lived in the south had never been to the desert, so naturally they had to talk about it along the way. Some said the desert was beautiful, and some said it was too desolate and barren.Although Qian Che and Zuo Qi revisited their old places, the scenery in front of them is still unfamiliar. Back then, they only cared about how to survive, so they didn't have the leisure to watch the sunset in the desert. Today, if you take a closer look, it is really special. Each has its own beauty, even in this uninhabited desert, there is no lack of praise for it.

When the two returned to the tent at night, Zuo Qi saw that Qian Che's face was pale, with cold sweat breaking out from time to time, touching his forehead was really hot.I hurriedly went to the military doctor to see it, and after some diagnosis and treatment, I found out that I had suffered from some wind and cold.Zuo Qi remembered that he watched the stars outside the tent last night, he didn't know how to ask him to wear more clothes, and now he has contracted a disease, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He ordered someone to cook the medicine, Zuo Qi watched him take the medicine and hurriedly urged him to sleep, just as he was tucking in the corner of the quilt, he suddenly heard someone from outside the tent reported that the generals asked the leader of the country to discuss the attack tomorrow one thing.Qian Che was eager to get up and leave the tent, but Zuo Qi pressed him down: "Don't move, if you have to make a decision later, I'll come over and ask you, just lie down for me now, the wind outside the tent will blow you away." You just took the medicine again, so don't catch a cold again."

What is the relationship between the two of them? Everyone has already understood in their hearts. On the surface, one is the captain of the guard and the other is the lord of the imperial conquest, but in private, the two are actually one body. It is not the same who presides over the discussion tonight.

When everyone saw Zuo Qi coming, they performed military salutes one after another, and asked where Qian Che was now, Zuo Qi only told the truth, and the generals knew that he had come to replace Qian Che, so they stopped talking and got straight to the point.

In the army tent, there was a temporary sand table on the ground, and it was clear where the two armies were. Cheng Huo pointed to a certain city and said: "This city is the one that our army wants to take first. Because it is the northern border city, Mu Xuanqing must have taken precautions and sent heavy troops to guard it, if this is the case, then the first battle will be tough."

Zuo Qi said: "Everyone has heard that there was a plague in this city a few months ago."

Cheng Huo said: "I have heard about this matter, but I only think it is a rumor!"

Zuo Qidao: "It's true. Your Majesty and I fled that day. We were going to enter the desert through this city. Because of the plague in the city, we made a detour. Now that we don't know the situation in the city, we want to prevent it from happening. Why not abandon this city and take a detour? Our army only needs to be on guard, and we are not afraid that he will follow and attack."

Liu Weidao: "Master Zuo is very right. If the plague still exists in the city, our army will undoubtedly fall into the fire pit when entering the city. No matter what, it is all based on what Master Zuo said." As a surefire solution, they nodded in agreement one by one.

Now that the city has been ignored, everyone continued to discuss the rest of the matter, only to see Cheng Huo pointing to another city road: "This city is the only way our army must pass, and it is bound to be taken in one fell swoop."

Lu Zhan said: "If he sticks to the defense, our army can only attack by force, but if he attacks by force, casualties are inevitable."

Another person said: "If you attack it with a ladder and add flint, you can take it even if it is as strong as gold. The last general is not talented. I think that siege is my strong point. If I go forward with the last general, I will definitely be able to reduce the casualties. to the minimum."

Another person said: "Our army came here this time with a strong crossbow. When the time comes, ten thousand arrows will be fired, and I will be able to help the general..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a feathered arrow piercing his throat, cutting off the following words.

Seeing this scene, everyone reacted immediately, drew their knives out one after another, and then countless feathered arrows broke into the tent, and several people fell down in an instant.Zuo Qi also drew out his knife, and dodged left and right to avoid several cold arrows coming towards him, but the sky outside the tent was already full of eruptions, and amidst the noise, someone could only be heard shouting: "There is a sneak attack."

Zuo Qi couldn't help being distracted for a moment because he was concerned about the people in the tent next door, but he didn't prevent a cold arrow from hitting him directly on the left knee.

Zuo Qi cried out in pain, then fell to his knees, countless feathered arrows shot at him from all directions, he swung his knife to block them one by one.After struggling for a while, he saw a person walking towards him in the distance, and blocked many arrows for him.

When the man came to him, Zuo Qi thought he was here to help him, but when he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw that man raised a cold long knife and slashed at him.

Zuo Qi opened his eyes wide, his face was full of astonishment, his head rolled to the ground when he raised the knife in his hand.
