Otherworldly Days

Chapter 480

贺城

Although we won the two battles with Zenu, we only won at a high price each time.

There are not many soldiers and horses in Zinu, but the advantage is that the soldiers are tall and strong, good at riding and shooting. They grew up on horseback since they were young, and horseback is their world.The soldiers of the Feng Dynasty could not benefit from their hands, the only advantage was that they had more people than Zinu, so they were not defeated and retreated.

Although our side won the two battles, the number of dead soldiers was more than Zinu's.So although the battle was won, it was also lost.

It's just that the one who photographed the fifth prince, Mani, praised the fifth prince for being extravagant, like the reincarnated General Li, invincible, and sent letters back to Fengdu City to report good news.Everyone in the court thought that this time they must drive Zinu back to the grassland as before, so that they could sleep peacefully.

The people on both sides had a temporary truce, and both retreated to their respective entrenched territories.

Hecheng is not peaceful either. In a small Hecheng, there are several parties gathering here. The most taboo thing in war is disagreement.

At that time, the fifth prince Feng Lingrui was one step late with the reinforcements, and the gates of the town had already been taken by Zinu.If it is to be held accountable, it is impossible for the Fifth Prince to escape being held accountable?But what is the identity of the fifth prince?This is very likely to be the prince of their Feng Dynasty, the future emperor, who dares to hold him accountable?

From Bingma Road, where he fled from the town gate, to meeting the reinforcements, people from both parties showed their identities. Here, they must be familiar with people who have been at the town gate for a long time. After discussion, Feng Lingrui also listened to this The words of the soldiers on the side brought people into Hecheng.

When the fifth prince brought people to Hecheng, Wang Dahu and his party brought people into Hecheng first, but now that General Li is gone, the identity of the fifth prince here is Jing Gao, and they have to obey the fifth prince .

He Cheng was originally guarded by generals and soldiers, and these people were nothing but fools. As soon as Wu Kongzi came, they fell to the faction of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince.Who has stayed in this ghostly place for so many years and doesn't want to go out, doesn't want to go to Fengdu City to see the bustling city, and eat and drink spicy food with a good master?

This human heart is the most complicated thing in the world.

The people standing in the crowd watched Zhou Chou follow the fifth prince into the prince's tent, Wang Dahu said "It's a dog!" He felt aggrieved in his heart.Those veterans who used to follow General Li were oppressed by the fifth prince's faction, but they still dared to be angry and dared not speak up.

Liu Baishu pulled him back and gave Wang Dahu a warning look, and he immediately became honest.

Cao Gang came along with him, but he was no longer the former General Cao, he became a soldier following Wang Dahu.His figure was taller than the average person, so he deliberately hunched his back, and he couldn't see the original face with a dirty face. Standing in the crowd like this, he was as unobtrusive as everyone else.

If you look carefully, you will find that this person's eyes and eyes are a little different from ordinary people. His face is more determined and his eyes are firm. This is a person whose mind is firmer than ordinary people.

He came here to repay General Li's kindness back then, not to serve the imperial court.General Li's opinion has not yet been found out, Cao Gang didn't believe that General Li would die in a fire like that.

Seeing Zhou Chou following Feng Lingrui like a dog, they all knew that Zhou Chou was following the fifth prince as his lackey, and brought the rest of the soldiers and generals under the command of the fifth prince.

Now Zhou Chou has become a popular person beside the fifth prince. He follows the fifth prince wherever he goes, obeys the command of the fifth prince, helps the fifth prince to "eliminate dissidents", and eliminates all dissidents who disobey the fifth prince. people.

Seeing Zhou Chou follow him in, Wang Dahu felt in his heart that the old general accepted such a thing because he was blind.

After seeing the fifth prince and his party, they went in, and those who stood outside were not qualified to enter the tent of the fifth prince.

In the tent

Most of the people who followed here were people from Fengdu City, and they were all close friends of Feng Lingrui, many of them were sons and young masters of aristocratic families, few of them were really talented and educated, but there were a lot of embroidered pillows.

Feng Lingrui sat on the main seat, and the people below sat down one by one.He looked around, feeling very satisfied with the submission of these people.

One of the important purposes of his coming here is to take over the soldiers who bought here at Zhenmen. At that time, we have to find a way to kill people.

Heh, Feng Lingxiao, didn't your Li family army also fall into the hands of me, Feng Lingrui, in the end?Sooner or later, this world will belong to me, Feng Lingrui, and it has nothing to do with you, Feng Lingxiao!Feng Lingrui had already thought about what to do with his brothers when he became the emperor!Especially those who have been fighting with him for the crown prince for so long, he will definitely "treat" his brothers well!

After winning these two battles, Feng Lingrui suddenly felt a little light.

"...Our Highness is going out, not to mention driving Zinu out of the grassland, it is not a problem to drive Zinu out of the Tianshan Mountains."

"At that time, it will be owned by the grassland and our Feng Dynasty. At that time, for a hundred years, future generations will remember that our highness fought on the battlefield and defeated Zinu, and the historians will write down our highness's name on it. To be passed down to future generations."

This group of embroidered pillows doesn't have much skill, and few people can match Ma Chen's skill.

The flag gate has not yet returned, and it is even more impossible to drive Zinu out of the grassland. From their mouths, it seems real.

"His Royal Highness." Zhou Chou bowed his body and offered up the things in his hand.

Following the Great Five Emperors, the guards serving His Highness went up to take the things Zhou Chou handed over and presented them to their master.Feng Lingrui took it, it was a pamphlet, it recorded the generals who followed General Li back then, he opened it, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he glanced at Zhou Chou who was kneeling in front of him.

Just when Zhou Chou raised his eyes, he met the fifth prince's gaze, and quickly lowered his head again.

"Zhou Chou, you've done a good job. His Highness is very satisfied with what you've done." Feng Lingrui was smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.To him, Zhouchou is nothing more than a dog who betrayed his original master, followed him, and was used by him, but such a person does not need to be used in vain, as long as you give him a little benefit, he will contact you to do things with all his heart up.

Some things are difficult for him to do, so it would be best to let Zhou Chou do it this week.

"Thank you Your Highness, Your Highness, you have praised me, these are things that no general should do." Zhou Chou replied.

Sunset at dusk, the sunset here is a little later than in Fenshui, the sky is blood-red, just like their dead brothers, the blood stained the whole land red, their brothers died on the battlefield, There is no way to go back to my hometown.

For dinner, I ate porridge with coarse grains and a little cabbage, which didn't have any oil or water in it.

The food here is not good, even the generals’ food is only a little better than that of ordinary soldiers. There are a few more grains of rice in the porridge, and each person has a cornbread made of coarse grains. Just can't get enough.

When there is no war, there are two meals a day, and the food is thin. When there is a war, the soldiers eat half the meal, three meals a day, and it is good to eat half full.

The smell of boiled meat spread from the kitchen, and the soldiers who smelled the meat outside kept swallowing. The meat made by the cook was sent to the prince's tent. They only had to watch it, and it was impossible for them to take their turn. eat.

Smelling the smell of meat, Wang Dahu knew that it was for the people in the prince's camp. He remembered that the old general had eaten with the soldiers for so many years, and he had never had such special treatment. The fifth prince and the people from Fengdu City were even more dissatisfied, no wonder so many people lined up to lick that prince's toes!

"I bother!"

I am used to eating good food in Cao's Village, and when I come to eat these coarse grains and wild vegetables, even Wang Dahu, who is not very picky about food, finds it difficult to swallow. Seeing the people who follow him around him, he seems to have lost a lot of weight, and he feels a little bit in his heart. Distressed, he handed over the two bites of Wowotou and said, "Here, you eat."

It doesn't matter if I'm hungry, my daughter-in-law must have a full stomach, and if you lose weight like this, it will be very painful to hug.

Liu Baishu glanced at it and smiled.The person who was laughed at was a little embarrassed, and he patted his head foolishly, and Liu Baishu said softly, "You can eat it, I don't need it. I've had enough, you can eat this too."

The two of them got close, and he said in a voice that only they could hear him, "You, be careful what you say in the future, this temper will change. I, I want to spend more time with you, you can understand ?"

If they could live to grow old together, who would want to bury their lives here early?How could he be willing to die not on the battlefield, but in the conspiracy of those people?

Things were even worse than they had expected. Looking at the fifth prince's appearance, he was afraid that he wanted to subdue all the people under the old general. Those people would find them here sooner or later.If that day really came, he could do whatever he wanted in this world, he just wanted to spend more time with this person in the quiet little village on the side of Caojia Village.

It's just that those people won't let them go.

Cao Ci, who was sitting next to him, raised his head and glanced at the two of them.Liu Baishu raised his eyes and met Cao Gang's eyes. The two were speechless, but they both understood what the other was thinking.

They didn't want to believe that the old general left just like that. They must ask Chu to find out what's hidden in it.

After dinner, the last cloud in the west disappeared, and night came.

It was the quietest time of the day in the barracks at this time. The soldiers who were tired all day went back to the camp early to lie down and fell asleep, and the patrolling soldiers were patrolling.

The two people sitting on the leeward slope whispered to him in a voice that only they could hear.

"Everything is careful."

"Hey……"
