Chuan Shan squatted on the ground drinking thin porridge while looking at the desolate wilderness in the distance.

They had camped here for four months, waiting for winter to pass and spring to come.This period of time can be said to be his most leisurely time period in the past two years.There is no war, so he doesn't have to go into battle against his conscience to kill the "enemy"; he doesn't have to worry about hearing and sending out news.

Ugh……!

Chuan Shan let out a long sigh.Doing this job meticulously is really not something normal people can survive.Harmful to others and self-inflicted, until the end of doing it, I don't know whether I am righteous or evil.

I think it took him a month to learn how to make a detailed work.In terms of skills, it is as big as how to kill invisible, as small as stealing stealthily; Fang Rijiu's psychological shake after falling in love, etc.; after studying, he realized that he had been fooled.

Are these things that can be learned in a month?

What does it mean to explore everything by yourself in the future?

What does it mean to think about the good days in the future, and you will feel that the current life is not difficult?

What's more, what does it mean to be confused and let go?

It was the last master who taught him to listen to the words he said when he left: careful work does not mean death, life can be preserved as much as possible, and nothing will be lost after death.

It was this sentence that made him last until now.

Speaking of which, since he joined the Lang army until now, he has successfully sent messages nine times.Three of them played a decisive role -- Chuanshan firmly refused to admit that his moldy physique had affected the Langguo army.Three news and four battles caused the already overwhelming Lang army to be repeatedly frustrated, and they had to spit out the six cities they had originally won.

General Sha Chongming of the Lang Kingdom didn't know what was going on, and he only thought that General Wang Biaowang, who had been promoted to the leading general of the Northern Army, had capable people under his command, maybe they were those half-immortals who could pinch and count.For this reason, Sha Chongming solemnly made a request to the monarch of the Lang Kingdom, requesting that the national teacher come out to break the opponent's way.

Ming Juezi, the national teacher of the Lang Kingdom, is said to have come from the lineage of the Yinzong Qingyun Sect, and is an expert with great supernatural powers.It is said that its ability is so high that not only can it know the past and the future, but it is also a trivial matter to make clouds and rain, not to mention spreading beans to form soldiers.The most frightening thing is that it is said that he can take the head of a person thousands of miles away.

Of course, these are all legends, at least Chuan Shan has never seen it with his own eyes.But don't people often say that nothing can come out of nothing, and there can be no smoke without fire. If this national teacher doesn't have one or two means, it is impossible for Lang Guo to regard him as a national teacher.

"Bazi, why are you squatting here to drink porridge?"

"The wind and the scenery are good." Chuanshan didn't turn his head, and he knew from the voice that it was Qianhuchang Tianshi, who was on the same level as him.This person can be regarded as one of the people he gets along with in the Lang country army.

That's right, Chuan Shan has climbed to the position of head of a thousand households in charge of a battalion.Now he is a senior official, with nearly 360 people under his command.

"Tsk, you didn't eat the meat buns for breakfast, did you? The Third Highness was sympathetic to us and asked the guys to make them specially. The meat is full of meat, and the skin is soaked in oil and water. It's delicious. Soldiers alone One, and two above the head of a thousand households. Hiss..." Tian Shi sucked in his saliva recalling the deliciousness of the meat buns.

"Third Highness? When did he come here?"

Chuanshan also wanted to eat steamed stuffed buns, but the problem with the Third Highness was more serious.You said that the national teacher came to help out, but what is the third prince Xue Chaoyuan, who is said to be the most likely to become the prince of the Lang Kingdom, here?

"One step slower than the national teacher. He arrived at Haishi last night. It is better for His Highness the Third Highness. I hope that the Third Highness will become the crown prince. You see, he arrived so late last night. He got up early in the morning to discuss matters with the general, and he can still Remember us soldiers. You can't find such a good prince in the whole world!"

"Yes, yes."

Chuanshan agreed casually.I wondered if the division of power among the upper echelons of the Lang Kingdom had changed?I haven't heard of any prince who is more favored these days.Could it be that he was in the barracks, so the news was a little bit blocked?

"Don't just drink the porridge here, hurry back now, maybe there are still steamed stuffed buns. If you don't want to eat, bring them to me." The sentimental guy came here specially to ask for steamed stuffed buns?

"Good idea! I want Baozi to exchange your dagger."

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.After two years, plus his deliberate making friends, he naturally gathered a bunch of friends around him.Seeing the companions who called him brothers and sisters die or be disabled for life one by one because of him, this kind of feeling is really fucking...!

But it is impossible to say that there is no hatred.Seeing the soldiers of the state of Lang beheading the people of the state of Xi and plundering the wealth and children of the state of Xi, how can he, as a person of the state of Xi, not hate it?

do not care!Chuan Shan raised his neck and drank the last mouthful of gruel before standing up.

After finding out about the method that the Lang Guo Guoshi intends to deal with the Xi Guo army this time, he should propose to Wang Tou to return to the camp.This delicate work can no longer be done.If he continued to suffer like this, he was afraid that he would not have entered the way of the devil, but would have to enter the way of ghosts—just wipe his neck.

"Hey! You bastard, why don't you stutter now? You just want to exchange two buns for my dagger, aren't you too black-hearted?"

Along the way, the two had a very in-depth discussion on whether buns and daggers were equivalent.As for the conclusion...

"Does this Hu Yu really want to cooperate with us, or is it a trick to lure the enemy?" Sha Chongming frowned.

His Highness smiled and turned his head, "What do you think, National Teacher?"

Ming Juezi brushed his long beard, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "If we analyze this from the current situation of Xi Kingdom, it's [-]% credible."

"Oh?" General Sha made a gesture of wanting to hear more about it.

Ming Juezi stopped talking, but the Third Highness took it with a good temper.

"Zhu Yi, the ruler of the Xi Kingdom, pursues the Tao with all his heart, and wants to live forever. It has been a long time since he asked about the state affairs. According to the news from the spies, after taking the so-called elixir, Zhu Yi is on the verge of death. However, the three princes of the Xi Kingdom, Xiao One is small, one is weak, and one is mentally handicapped. The other royal families of the Xi Kingdom who have royal blood are naturally moved."

"Then what does this have to do with Hu Yu, the prime minister of the Xi Kingdom? Could it be that he is afraid that if the monarch is changed, he will not be able to be the prime minister?"

"Hehehe, General Sha is dedicated to the country and loyal, so naturally he can't imagine how big Hu Yusi's desire is."

"His Royal Highness. You mean...?"

"He doesn't just want to keep the prime minister's position. In his opinion, since Xiguo wants to change the emperor, it's better to just replace him."

"What?" Sha Chongming had already thought in his heart, but he was still very surprised.Although the Third Highness praised him for his loyalty, he knew that every move at this time was very important.It is better for a man in charge of a large army to fight the brains of the enemy than to show intelligence.

"Hu Yu wants to cooperate with our country of Lang and share the water with us. He promises that all the land north of the Grand Canal will belong to our country of Lang, and he will proclaim himself emperor in the south of the Grand Canal." His Highness further explained.

"Then he is not afraid that we will destroy the bridge? If we take the land north of the Grand Canal, we can naturally attack across the river in one go."

His Royal Highness shook his head, "Hu Yunas would naturally think of this. But General Sha, have you ever thought about it? If the people of the country continue to harass the rear, our army will be in a disadvantageous situation. Therefore, if our army wants to attack the south, it must wait for several years or even decades to completely settle in the rear, to ensure that the rebels of the Xi Kingdom do not cause trouble, and at the same time provide food and grass. Only after the supply is no problem can we start.”

Sha Chongming nodded, and also understood what His Royal Highness said: "Yes, with this buffer time, although our country is stable, it is impossible for Hu Yu not to make the slightest preparations. His calculations are right. good."

"Hehe, we have the intention of taking the south, so why doesn't he have the intention of counterattacking and crossing the river?"

"That being said, what if what Hu Yu did was really a trick to lure the enemy?"

"It doesn't matter. I have asked his envoy to send back a message. If he wants my country to help, he has to show sincerity." Xue Chaoyuan smiled confidently.

To satisfy the Third Highness, this kind of sincerity may not be taken lightly.Sha Chongming thought to himself.

"When he really shows his sincerity, our army of the Lang Kingdom can join forces with him inside and outside to take down the Xi Kingdom in one fell swoop!"

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Highness is wise." Sha Chongming praised quickly.

"General Sha." Ming Juezi, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly said.

"What do you want from the national teacher?" Sha Chongming asked respectfully.

"Why do you say that the six cities were wronged? You can tell the story to the poor Taoist."

"Yes." It's fine if you don't mention this matter, but when you mention the six lost cities, Sha Chongming is furious.

After carefully thinking about how to describe it properly, Sha Chongming said:

"At that time, the lower official was preparing to attack Liyang. Because of insufficient troops, he mobilized the troops of Pingpan and Changliu City from the six cities that had already been taken, leaving only a few people for display. This matter is extremely confidential, and the lower official also Prepare for a quick battle, and catch Liyang by surprise. Unexpectedly..."

Sha Chongming slapped the armrest fiercely, "Liyang has already secretly prepared for the battle, our army was not on guard, and fell into a fierce battle with Liyang. However, the northern army of Xi State did not know where to get the news, secretly sent troops to bypass our army, and began to attack Pingpan And Changliu. Later, although Xiaguan noticed the movement of the Xi army, he was entangled in the battle of Liyang. When Xiaguan arranged for manpower to return to the defense, but suddenly encountered a heavy rain, it was already too late. Pingpan and Changliu It was captured by the Xi army. Afterwards, the subordinate officials had to abandon Liyang for fear of being attacked by the enemy.”

Ming Juezi was noncommittal, and signaled Sha Chongming to continue.

Sha Chongming's thoughts turned quickly. No matter how great his previous military achievements were, it is a fact that the two years of fighting have been unfavorable.Although Chaozhong didn't voice his desire to be replaced by others, he couldn't be careless.Who knows if the old and new accounts will be settled together when the war ends in the future, and Sha Chongming will be cooked to death.

"The two cities of Xingcheng and Anbao are even more strange." Sha Chongming sighed.

"First, the stables in Xingcheng were on fire, causing the horses to flee. One of the leading horses was the bravest. It trampled countless soldiers and fled into the city streets. Later, the officers and soldiers who were chasing the horse had no choice but to shoot it. Unexpectedly, the shooter was dodged by the horses beside him. In the chaos, he shot and killed Governor Liu, the supreme commander who stayed behind in Xingcheng. This should have ended here. Who would have thought... Alas! "

Ming Juezi and the Third Highness looked at each other.

"What happened next?"

"The officials did not dare to hide this matter, and have already reported it to the imperial court. His Highness the Third also knows about it."

Xue Chaoyuan nodded, "This Zhezi Bengong saw it, two words──absurd!"

Sha Chongming lowered his head in shame.

Xue Chaoyuan quickly comforted him, "This matter has nothing to do with General Sha, General Sha does not need to blame himself."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity. But this is also because this official is not strict with his subordinates. I am ashamed, I am ashamed. National Teacher, let the official explain this matter to you in detail." Sha Chongming smiled wryly.

"The archer who mistakenly shot Governor Liu was under Deputy Governor Cao, and the cavalry and archery team belonged to Deputy Governor Cao. The two governors, Liu and Cao, had long been at odds, and they had quarreled several times in secret, but because the quarrel was not serious, they The two are indeed capable, and the subordinate officials only punished them lightly, not severely. I didn't expect that this time, they made a big mistake."

"Because Governor Liu was shot to death, his subordinates thought that Deputy Governor Cao had intentionally retaliated and took advantage of the chaos to kill people, so they asked Deputy Governor Cao to hand over the murderer. If Deputy Governor Cao handed over this person, the matter might be settled But the archer happened to be the nephew of Deputy Governor Cao, so it was impossible to hand it over. This incident became more and more troublesome, and the two parties actually fought in the city."

"During the chaos, Vice-Governor Cao and his nephew were beaten to death, and the city lost two commanders at once. Fortunately, there were still some sensible people who knew the seriousness of the matter, so they quietly left the city and quickly reported it to the officer. The officer Immediately after getting the news, we sent people there, but we met the army of Xi State who came to attack Xingcheng."

When Sha Chongming thought about what happened later, his face was full of bitterness, he adjusted his mood, and said: "The officers and soldiers staying in Xingcheng saw that the two commanders were dead, and I don't know who was bewitched by them, and they are afraid of military punishment. Most of them abandoned the city and fled. And most of these people were captured by the Xi army. The most hateful thing is that after the Xi army took down Xingcheng, which had almost no resistance, some soldiers put on our army uniforms and pretended to be us. The army tricked Anbao City into opening the city gate. In this way, our army lost two more cities in a row. After taking four cities, the Xi Army attacked the remaining two cities in one go. But during that time, the officials were dismissed, officials...uh , the old disease relapsed, and Wang Biaonasi took the opportunity to take back the two cities of Wufang and Tianding."

After hearing the story of the loss of the six cities, Ming Juezi, who is the national teacher, was also a little speechless.No wonder Sha Chongming swallowed a fly as soon as he mentioned this matter, probably no one would be comfortable with it.It is too wrong to lose these six cities, especially the two in the middle.

"It's really ridiculous."

Sha Chongming laughed, more and more afraid to tell the truth.In fact, during that period of time, it wasn't a relapse of his old illness, but he was out hunting and relaxing. He met a hunter's daughter, who rebelled against her, but was kicked in the lower body by the opponent, and almost never lifted.During that time, he couldn't even walk, so how could he get on his horse and command?Afterwards, he was afraid that the revelation of this matter would affect his future and even his life, so he killed all the insiders who knew about it, including the three members of the Orion family and the two guards, except his bodyguards.

Although the facts had been buried by him, Sha Chongming was still a little worried, for fear that the half-celestial being beside him would see something.

Ming Juezi, who had an inscrutable and profound expression on his face, wondered if he had seen General Sha's secret, and asked some detailed questions, and finally concluded: "There must be secret work of the Xi Kingdom in the army."

"Yes. The lower official thinks so too. Otherwise, no matter how clever Wang Biaonasi is, it is impossible to grasp the timing so well! Hmph, if the killer's secret work is caught by the lower official, the lower official will definitely flay him and cramp his bones." Ashes! No, this is too cheap for him, the officials must let him live but not die..." Sha Chongming hated that spy to the death, if it wasn't for him, he would not have fallen into the prestige , Every day is like walking on eggshells.

"This secret work is indeed abominable. But he can know so much information, so he should have a high status in the army. I don't know if General Sha has a bottom line in his heart?"

"This..." Sha Chongming shook his head, "Your Majesty has some suspects, but there is no evidence. You can't arrest people casually, causing the army's morale to be unstable. Please give your highness and the national teacher a lot of advice, so that our army can get rid of this pest as soon as possible. !"

Ming Juezi plucked three strands of long beard, and said: "Since Pindao is here, he will help General Sha. Pindao has a plan, which can attack the prestige of Xi Kingdom's northern army, or take the opportunity to let the enemy's army attack carefully." Show your feet."

His Highness and Sha Chongming cheered up, and said in unison:

"Appreciate further details."
