Selfishness

On the second day, according to the plan, we did not convey the order to take the middle road until we reached the fork of the three roads.

"Ahead is the entrance of the valley." Xiao Han said to me after looking at the map.

"Have you sent scouts to check the road ahead?" I said looking at the deep valley.

"A few days ago, people were sent to the north and south to explore. At present, the scouts from the south have returned and reported nothing abnormal."

"All the scouts are back?"

"The road survey between the north and the south is only halfway through, so only one person came back to deliver the letter."

The spies in the north and south are just "blurring the eyes" - after all, the enemy has also guessed that we will send people to investigate, and it is not good not to follow their guess.

"Then we're ready to start betting our lives?" I smiled playfully and turned to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han looked at me and smiled and said, "Why do you gamble on your life? Just obey the destiny."

I looked at An Nan with a sad face and said, "General An, fate is hard to break, so don't be so sad." After finishing speaking, I laughed and walked leisurely towards the valley, and the Mohist army behind me Also calmly followed me forward.

Annan didn't forget to snort me at this time, but this time Xiao Han didn't scold him, but said with a smile: "The soldiers of the Major General are like her, they are fearless before the natural danger."

"My lord, why are you always facing her?" Annan said puzzledly, "Annan is also very obedient, isn't he?"

"How obedient are you? Didn't you always object before?" Xiao Han said speechlessly.

"That is Annan's responsibility! Annan only wants to ensure the safety of the king!"

"Then the Mohist army didn't protect the major general? Why didn't they object?"

Annan said in horror: "The last general will never have the heart of rebellion!"

Xiao Han looked at Annan yelling and had a headache.And I, who was walking in front, snickered, it's not easy to have Xiao Han's tolerance.If he questioned his country's lord like Annan, he might lose his head several times, but Xiao Han was born as a general, and he has a better understanding of the orders of the generals abroad, which is much higher than those of the nobles of the family, so the disobedience of the generals is even more serious. tolerate.Of course, it is impossible to be tolerant blindly, but Annan is indeed loyal and has good military capabilities.I'm afraid these reasons are the reasons why Xiao Han really tolerated it.

The entrance of the valley is in front of me, I stood at the intersection and waited for Xiao Han to pass on the order.

"Why didn't the major general leave?" Annan came to me and said coldly.

"Does General An like cold snorting? Then I will call you General Hun from now on. I hope you find your General Ha as soon as possible!" I couldn't help laughing when I said this.Speaking of which, in Sichuan dialect, this "Ha" general has a lot of meaning.

"You!" Annan pointed at me and wanted to open his mouth to curse, but I stepped forward and said: "General An, don't forget, your master said that there should be no gaps when the war is imminent."

"That's obviously what you said!"

"But your master agreed." I looked at Annan in surprise and said, "She agreed, and soon it will represent me right? As the most loyal general, don't you think so?"

"You! Sow discord again!"

Looking at An Nan who was in a panic, he felt very happy, so he patted Xunfeng, and ran towards the valley happily, and the Mohist army behind him also trotted up neatly.

"What are you doing running so fast!" Annan said cursingly, "Grandma! I lost to you?" After speaking, Annan rode his horse and chased me.As soon as Xiao Han turned his head, he found that we had rushed into the valley.She shook her head helplessly, and immediately let the soldiers quickly follow.

Walking in the valley, I have to admit that I am still guilty.The towering cliffs on both sides all reveal danger.But I have already decided to take a gamble, so no matter how dangerous it is, I will not regret it.So I bit the bullet—but I was still very indifferent in face, leading the Mohist army to the forefront.

"This valley..." Xiao Han stopped Annan's words before he finished speaking.

"General An, calm down." I made calm breathing movements and told Annan to be calm - although I was a little flustered in my heart.But looking at Xiao Han, he was calm and calm, and commanded the troops across the valley with a well-thought-out plan.I sighed secretly in my heart, even if I pretended it was too similar.Xiao Han's calm demeanor quickly calmed down the guilty soldiers.

"Your master must have that fate." I said to Annan with certainty, "We will win the next battle. General An, let us leave with confidence."

An Nan looked at Xiao Han, and gave me a cold snort very proudly.I smiled and continued to lead the team away, feeling full of confidence in my heart.Because I feel from the bottom of my heart that Xiao Han's calmness is not pretending, she really thinks that she has that destiny.Something so determined must come true.

This was also proved afterwards. After walking out of the valley, I asked Xiao Han if he was comforting the soldiers with his confidence at that time.And she looked forward proudly and said: "No! This king firmly believes that this path is correct, and he firmly believes that I will not be defeated by this."

People who are afraid of hands and feet, afraid of this and that, will definitely not be able to be the overlord.

"Lord Xiao's fortune won't stop here." I laughed and said, "Lord Xiao, let's attack Youguan now."

Xiao Han nodded, and immediately ordered Annan to rectify the army and launch an attack on Youguan.

The enemy really didn't expect us to go in the middle, so they gathered elite soldiers and waited for us in the north.When the news was heard, it was too late.The generals who stayed at Youguan had no choice but to personally lead the team to the valley to meet us.Unexpectedly, before we reached the mountain pass, we saw us rushing towards us in a murderous spirit, and we were so frightened that we immediately returned to the city gate not far away to line up to resist.Even in the initial rush, many soldiers were shot by the rain of arrows.But because of the excitement of walking out of the valley safely, all the soldiers charged forward bravely without any fear.Soon, the fighting turned into hand-to-hand combat.

"My lord! Youguan's troops are only half, and there are basically no elite soldiers." Annan told Xiao Han excitedly.

"What did I say, General An? Going in the middle is definitely the best policy!" I laughed out loud and praised my wit.

"Hmph! That's the figure of a nobleman full of purple energy! How could a born dragon be defeated!" This loyal dog is really hopeless.

"Yeah! How can the emperor go to the battlefield?" As I said that, I pulled the rein back, Xunfeng immediately raised his front hooves, and rushed forward with a neighing sound. I laughed and said, "Then today Fight the dead heroic spirits for the Son of Heaven!"

I led the Mohist army into the fight.Annan also seemed unconvinced, and followed me to join the attack.And Xiao Han, as the coach, naturally didn't necessarily have to go to the battlefield, but it was probably due to the soldier's blood in his bones, and it didn't take long for her to follow.

We jumped off the horse and killed the enemy separately, but we gradually got closer and closer, and even had a tendency to rely on each other.

"Major General's gun is pretty good." Annan, who had his back to me, turned around and said to me while killing the enemy.

"Hey! General An actually praised me! I'm so flattered!" I pretended to be surprised and said, "But General An doesn't know something, and this general's sword is also very good!"

"Bah! Push your nose on your face!"

"This is still a war, can you be more serious?" Xiao Han leaned over and said after beheading one person.

"Hmph! How happy is this freak?" Annan said disgustedly, "You won't become bloodthirsty."

"General An, I can't stand compliments, so this is your fault."

"Hey! You shameless!" Annan roared and rushed into the enemy group.For a moment, I regretted those enemies who were beheaded. They all seemed to die because of me.Thinking about this, I killed a few more enemies.I have to admit that the killing I hated before has become so handy now.Sure enough, there is no bottom line and no time limit for people's changes.

Under the fierce fighting between the Mohist army and the Xiao State army, the enemy was soon defeated, and we also took advantage of the victory to pursue and enter the Youguan.The enemy is probably thinking that since there is a dead end, they should take a few more when they leave.

Human beings in despair are really terrifying. The enemy's battle with trapped beasts also made us very embarrassed for a while, and the speed of attack was also much slower.But fortunately, the momentum is not bad, the enemy army is still being wiped out by us bit by bit.

"My lord! Now there are only enemies on the city wall. But the enemy's reinforcements seem to have arrived, and the troops deployed in advance are resisting." Annan said to Xiao Han covered in blood.At this time, Xiao Han was also not very tidy, the hair that he had tied up had been loosened, and the armor was also full of blood.

"Annan, take a team to wipe out the enemies on the city wall, and set up your defense immediately." Xiao Han said as he took the hemp rope handed over by the soldiers, got on his horse, and at the same time pulled me onto the horse and said, "The rest of the people and The major general and I went to the front to stop the enemy."

Everything happened so fast, before An Nan and I could react, Xiao Han and I drove out of Youguan.

"Lord Xiao! I have a horse!" I sat in the back and said dizzily.

"It's too late, you didn't even know where you went, Xunfeng." Hey, that guy didn't know where to graze again!Although Xunfeng ran very fast, every time I got off the horse, it went to find water or fertile grass to rest by itself.I scolded it more than once, but it got worse and often disappeared for a long time before returning to me.Alas, the people and animals around me are masters, so I can only serve them.

"Then you slow down!" Because I ran too fast, I was dizzy again, and I hugged Xiao Han unconsciously.

"Oh! What are you doing!" Huh?Did you hear Jiaochen just now?

After I tried my best to regain some concentration, I realized that I was hugging Xiao Han a little tight, so I said awkwardly: "It can't be my fault, you run so fast, if I don't hold on tightly, you will fall off?"

Xiao Han turned his head slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Young General, you can sit still."

I don't know if it's my illusion, but the horse seems to run faster, Xiao Han's face seems a little red whether it's blood stains or sunlight.Shouldn't she be embarrassed?

"Lord Xiao, are you embarrassed that I hugged you?"

"roll!"

"You ride so fast, I thought you wanted me to hold you tighter!" I laughed irresponsibly behind the horse.But Xiao Han didn't say anything, he just slammed on the brakes - causing me to bump my head on Xiao Han's shoulder.

"Master Xiao! Don't stop like this! Do you really think that I practice iron head skills and need to hit the head with heavy objects every day?"

Xiao Han said helplessly after hearing the words: "Young General, we are here."

I jumped off the horse in embarrassment, and then said with a dog-legged smile: "Thank you Lord Xiao for your horse, thank you Lord Xiao for willing to bring Mo Xu over here." Xiao Han rolled his eyes angrily and said, "This is a dangerous war, I hope the general will stop joking."

Seeing the dark face of the Lord, I had no choice but to put away my indecency and look at the enemy in front of me seriously.

"Lord Xiao! The enemy's elite soldiers have arrived, and we may not be able to resist for long!" After seeing us, the leading soldiers immediately came to report.

Xiao Han frowned and said: "Let the rear line up immediately! Don't mess up!" After hearing this, the soldiers immediately went to execute.And I asked curiously: "Who is that person? Is it the enemy general?"

Xiao Han heard the words and looked, it was a woman with long braids.She wears light armor and wields a clumsy sword out of proportion to her.The woman's face was already covered with blood, and the light armor on her body was also dripping with blood, but her movement of wielding the broadsword did not stop at all.With one swing of the knife, our soldiers fell to the ground.Even the soldiers with heavy shields were overturned to the ground, and some even flew a certain distance.

"That person seems to be Beiluo, the general guarding the city of Youguan this time. I heard that this person is extremely powerful and can throw a strong man several meters away."

"No wonder it looks so slender but can handle such a big knife."

"The figure of the major general doesn't look like a person with strong martial arts." Just call me short!I really don't know why women in this era are so tall!One or two are looking down on me!Not to mention Chen Hui Xiao Han, he practiced martial arts since he was a child, but that Chu Yuan is half a head taller than me!That embroidered pillow is taller than me!Why!Did I exercise less since I was a child?

"Hmph! I hate you for judging people by their appearance!" I snorted dissatisfied.

Xiao Han was a little surprised, then smiled and said: "Let's think about how to stop them first."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Lord Xiao, look at those wolf-like eyes, do you think they are afraid of death? Do you think they can be repelled today?"

Xiao Han frowned and said in surprise: "The major general wants to retreat?"

"Yes! While defending, slowly evacuate backwards."

Xiao Han didn't ask why in a hurry, but after taking a serious look at Beiluo, he summoned the leader and said: "The shield soldiers form an formation to defend, once they are dispersed, the spearmen and saber soldiers behind will make up for it. After forming a good formation, retreat immediately. Repeat this, and when you get close to the range of Youguan, immediately retreat to Youguan.”

"I'm afraid the spearmen won't be able to stop Beiluo's sword, so let me go."

"The Mohist army is not here, this king has the responsibility to protect the major general's safety."

"Why does Lord Xiao think that I can't stop it?" I said a little funny, "I'm not going to kill her, I just need to resist a little." The battle preparation of Youguan still needs some time, I don't know who attacked inside Youguan just now Mohist army, will they find out that I am gone and come to rescue me?Those heartless people chased the enemy all the way by themselves, left me aside, and went back to deal with them.

Xiao Han glanced at me and said: "Then let's go together." She seemed to know that I was going to refuse, so she immediately said: "I am the coach, you listen to me and don't have any objections."

At this time it is very powerful!However, there is nothing you can do about living under the fence.I followed Xiao Han obediently, hid behind the shield soldiers, and used the gun to attack the approaching enemies from the gap in the shield.

Beiluo's strength was indeed not small, and the shield soldiers were beaten to pieces very quickly. Fortunately, none of them were seriously injured, so after getting up, they went to the rear to continue forming the formation.And Xiao Han and I led the soldiers to resist the enemy and retreat in an orderly manner.

"Ouch! Sister, you look gentle, why are you so ruthless!" Bei Luo's slash made my mouth go numb, even more powerful than Yao Chan's!

"This must be the Major General of Zhonghu City." Bei Luo glanced at me vigilantly, and distanced herself from me.

"It's down."

"In Xiabeiluo, the guard of Youguan."

"I'm Mo Xu." I replied politely, "The general doesn't seem to be a person who doesn't understand etiquette, why is he with the reckless man of the Nan tribe?"

Beiluo seems to be a member of the northern tribe, and the northern tribe has been bullied by the southern tribe all year round, so it is inevitable that they will feel resentment in their hearts. It would be great if they could instigate rebellion.

"You don't need to say much, Major General, let's see what happens!" Bei Luo didn't give me a chance to continue lobbying, and directly slashed at me.I quickly dodged when I saw the situation.The knife cut a deep crack in the ground.Seeing this, I didn't dare to take it too seriously, and hurriedly dealt with her on the basis of gossip luck and Tai Chi.And Xiao Han helped me block the surrounding enemy troops.

No matter how stupid Bei Luo was in the formation of the shield soldiers back and forth several times, she could see that we were stalling for time.So their offensive became more fierce, and they gave priority to attacking shield soldiers.For a while, the casualties of the shield soldiers also increased.

The secluded pass is getting closer and closer, and the casualties are getting bigger and bigger.That Beiluo seemed to be desperate for her life. Apart from attacking me fiercely, she didn't dodge my offensive at all.Soon we were both wounded a lot.

Xiao Han's side was not easy either, those soldiers were like hungry wolves rushing to tigers, they saw Xiao Han, the lord of the country, and attacked fiercely.Xiao Han's personal guards also lost a lot because of this.

"General Bei, we just want to take back our land! Why do you have to listen to that wolfish and ambitious Southern tribe!" I said with difficulty while resisting the pressing sword.

"The land that the major general mentioned is not ours? You want to live, but we don't?" Bei Luo roared and threw me to the ground.

"Young General!" Seeing this, Xiao Han immediately rushed to my side, blocking Bei Luo's attack for me.

"No oil or salt!" I stood up and attacked Beiluo.

Under the joint attack of Xiao Han and I, Beiluo's physical strength is good, but she can't help using such brute force continuously.Soon, we seized the opportunity, and I overturned Beiluo with a spearman.In an instant, there was a sense of revenge!

But just when I was happy, from the corner of my eye, I suddenly found a fallen enemy who was taking out a small pistol from his arms and pointing it at Xiao Han.

"Behind Xiao Han!" I rushed over, knocked out the arrow, and kicked the weapon at my feet.The villain who hates this kind of sneak attack the most!

I don't know if it was because I moved too fast, or because Xiao Han was too tired, but she froze for a moment.But at this time, I couldn't wake her up, because Bei Luo had already rushed over, so I had to touch Xiao Han with the handle of the gun, telling her to leave quickly, and immediately danced with thunder to deal with Bei Luo.

"Come on!" Just when we were tired of coping, Annan's lion roar came from behind.At the same time, thousands of arrows from Youguan fired at the enemy in the rear.

Under the cover of Annan and the defenders of Youguan, we finally withdrew to Youguan, and the enemy army also retreated when it was too late.
