MTL - After the Fairy Disappeared-Chapter 458 first effort
Unanimous voice: "Listen clearly!"
The sound was like thunder, approaching the sky, startling many night herons.
The envoy swallowed, and saw the red general throwing the decree back to him: "Come here, take the envoy down to have a rest. He will take this decree to Panlong City tomorrow."
Two soldiers stepped forward and led the messenger away.
The red general held his waist knife and stood facing the Panlong army.
What she wore today was a ghost head mask, which was particularly ferocious under the light of the dancing fire.
A gust of night wind blows.
She didn't move, and thousands of people stood still.
After a while, the Red General ordered in a deep voice: "Wait for Commander Zhong to make a final decision. Disband now, everyone go back to rest!"
Everyone remained motionless.
General Hong turned around and strode away.
It wasn't until her back disappeared into the darkness that there was a bang in the west square of the city, and she was almost blown over by the scolding.
The anger of the Panlong army was almost higher than the torches held by everyone.
There were sounds of spitting and cursing everywhere, and He Lingchuan heard that someone beside him had already greeted the nineteenth generation ancestor of the monarch.
Really disrespectful.
The door panel came without a shield, so he could only stomp his feet on the ground: "Mahle...the gang in the capital are cowards, they have a son who doesn't have a prickly eye!"
Hu Min spat into the hole he stepped on: "Why don't we go all the way back to Xiluo and take down the capital, so as not to be splinted here!"
Arlo hissed him: "Don't talk nonsense."
Liu Tiao asked He Lingchuan: "Broken knife, what's wrong with us fighting all the way back? I don't need a soldier from the mother country to help. Why, why..." The monarch couldn't continue, she took a deep breath in anger, and gave herself a sigh of relief. Shun Shun Qi.
"Why are you afraid that we will go back?" He Lingchuan said lightly, "We are too strong, while the mother country is too weak."
Everyone looked at each other, thinking back to the decree read by General Hong just now, it sounded condescending and majestic, but the whole article was full of unbearable exasperation.
"Defending against the border residents in the northwest is more important than defending against the enemy."
"Exactly!" Soldiers from other teams nearby heard it and echoed loudly, "Defending the border people in the northwest is better than defending the enemy. The mother is defending us, us!"
Guarding the enclave alone for more than ten years, but being so jealous, suspicious and excluded by the mother country, no one's heart is cold.
"Yes, the mother country would rather borrow troops from Beja than let us go back!"
"It is better not to have such a mother country!"
There was a lot of noise around.
After an unknown amount of time, He Lingchuan finally heard the most crucial sentence:
"It's better not to return to such a mother country!"
Soon someone responded:
"Yeah, when I go back, I will be ostracized and looked down upon by others. I might as well stay in the Chipa Plateau."
"You understand, the adults who will be excluded when you go back are the adults. What has it to do with us? We are soldiers, how can we not be used?"
"Go back to be cannon fodder?" Someone retorted bluntly, "The 40,000 elites who were transferred away by their home country last time were all good men here. Run, see how much is left now? What about elite soldiers, you and I have gone back, and this is the end of everything!"
"Will the monarch love soldiers like sons like Lord Zhong, and move soldiers like gods like the Red General? Look at their domestic chaos, the more peaceful the more chaos!"
"Yeah, the soldiers love one, and they will love a nest. If we go back like this, at most it will be the grass in the troubled times, how can we be rich on the Chipa Plateau!"
He Lingchuan listened to the noise in his ear, and let out a soft breath.
So, King Xiluo's reaction was really within Panlong City's expectations, right?
Panlong City's actions are based on the "fear" of King Xiluo.
Before the monarch issued the relocation order, Panlong City ran away, this is impatient;
Panlong Army did not follow the Jinxi Corridor given by the Baling Kingdom at all, but found another way to fight all the way back from the Xiyu Kingdom.
It takes only a few days to destroy a country, but Xiluo is far from being able to do it. This is a proud soldier;
The above traits are superimposed, which king is not afraid?
If Zhong Shengguang returns to Xiluo with such an army, who can be his opponent in the whole country?
With such an army, is it easy to conquer the capital of Xiluo?
Even though the monarch had hesitated before, after hearing the great victory of Xijiu passed back by Zhong Shengguang, he finally made up his mind:
Never let them come back!
Relocation order? no more.
Originally, there were courtiers who opposed Qian'an, thinking that the Panlong Wasteland was the land of Xiluo and the foundation of the ancestors, and could not be ceded at will.
Then in the name of justice, order the Panlong Army to guard the border area and the territory of Yongzhen!
He Lingchuan even doubted when the Red General uploaded the victory report.
If they waited until the Xiluo Palace was conquered before sending news to the mother country, it would take at least ten days for the news to come and go, then the envoys from the capital city of Xiluo would not be able to arrive at Yuheng City so quickly.
That is to say, the Red General first passed the good news to Xi Luo, and then led the army to besiege the Xiluo Palace in a leisurely manner.
General Hong, or in other words, the **** of heaven, really didn't pay attention to the two countries of Xixiang and Xiluo.
Tonight in the west of Yuheng City, the Panlong Army is destined to spend a sleepless night.
He Lingchuan looked towards the direction where the Red General had disappeared.
This should be the strategy of Zhong Shengguang and the Red General.
They know very well that public opinion cannot be violated or blocked, but they can be guided, so the questioning and anger of the generals and the people are all directed to the Xiluo Kingdom.
This is called, advance as retreat.
Actually, the Xiluo Kingdom is the culprit, and there is nothing wrong with this blame.
If it weren't for its weakness and cowardice, the soldiers and civilians of Panlong would not have suffered so much.
And Zhong Shengguang and others don't know what price they will pay in the future if they choose to stay in the Panlong Wasteland!
If you insist on returning to China at this time, can you avoid the heroism of more than ten years later? Can everyone live in peace?
Because of the monarch's rebuke, the Panlong Army postponed its return to the east, and continued to station in Yuheng City, confronting Jin's army.
The envoy of Xiluo hastened his horse and went to Panlong City to find Zhong Shengguang.
Obviously, the Red General and his army must wait for Panlong City's final decision.
…
When it was daylight, He Lingchuan went to fetch water with a bucket, but saw several figures by the river.
One is by the river, and the others are far away.
Just by looking at his back, he could confirm that the man by the river was the Red General.
Her aura is too strong.
"Who?" The guards behind the Red General were impressed, and glanced over sharply.
Red General's voice was very peaceful: "It's okay, let's get your water."
She knew what he was going to do without looking back.
He Lingchuan stepped forward, rinsed the bucket in the river, and asked, "Why doesn't the general take a rest?"
The Red General stood facing east, looking at the white mist floating on the river:
"I do not need."
That's right, He Lingchuan just remembered that she has been transformed into a demigod by divine power, and she doesn't need to eat, drink and sleep like ordinary creatures to maintain her physical fitness.
There are people behind her, but it feels to He Lingchuan that she is isolated from the world and isolated from the whole world.
"General."
General Red didn't say a word, but turned his mask slightly.
"Even if the monarch opposes it, the army can still fight back all the way?"
"If you call back, do you know what we will face?"
He Lingchuan shook his head: "I only know that we don't have to face anything."
"oh?"
"After returning to China, at least we no longer have to face the joint attack of Baling and Xianyou, and we are no longer alone and helpless."
General Hong nodded: "And then?"
Then…
"Even if you can return to the country, do you think that the Panlong Army and these millions of civilians can live a life of stability and prosperity, away from war?" The Red General said lightly, "That's impossible. There is no such pure land in the world."
But they can be saved from destruction, and the story of Panlong Wasteland will not end with the most tragic ending. Of course, He Lingchuan couldn't say this, so he could only say categorically: "It's worth a try! At least in Xiluo Kingdom, there are still two things worth striving for!"
"What is it?"
"Future and hope!" and a chance to escape fate.
General Hong raised his head slightly, as if touched.
"Do you think that the future and hope will be in the country of Xiluo?" Her voice was indifferent, and the sarcasm hidden in it could only be discerned by listening carefully.
"Could it be that the Panlong Wasteland is surrounded by enemies?" He Lingchuan said bluntly, "Even if Lord Zhong goes back to seize the country, the foundation he laid is better than that in the wasteland?"
General Hong smiled: "Dare to speak out about madness? He Lingchuan, you are very courageous." In China, if you dare to make such remarks without killing your head, you will lose half your life.
"What I said was just what Panlong Army thought." He Lingchuan took a deep breath and solemnly asked, "General, please take us back to China!"
General Hong did not reply, but turned to look east again.
Crossing the river and walking for a few miles is the border guarded by heavy soldiers of the Jin Dynasty.
He Lingchuan felt that she was also at war with heaven and man in her heart?
"Go back after fetching water."
So He Lingchuan saluted her, filled a bucket of clear river water, and left without looking back.
Anyway, he tried.
But even if he joined the Gale Army, he is still a soft-spoken person now, and the Red General does not listen to his opinions.
This opportunity to reverse the final fate of Panlong City may have been missed just like this.
He Lingchuan sighed helplessly, and then remembered the conversation between King Yuan and his nephew Shao Jian that he had heard in the ruins of Qianxing City.
King Yuan firmly believed that the three things he asked his nephew to send to Zhong Shengguang were more important than himself and the entire Yuan Kingdom.
Where is Zhong Shengguang?
Would he think so too?
After returning, He Lingchuan lay back in the dilapidated house and looked up at the starry sky through the big hole in the roof.
The deeper he immerses himself in this soulland, the more he cares about things, the less he wants it to come to a predestined end.
But this history is extremely stubborn, and it seems very difficult for him to change the ending.
After dawn, everything is as usual.
Hu Min said to everyone: "Let's open a handicap. Who guesses going east and who guesses going west?"
"Is your gambling addiction infected by the skinny man?" Liu Tiao snorted, "For a tael of silver, I bet that the Red General will continue to advance eastward. It's all here. How can there be any reason to come back disappointed?"
Hu Min slapped He Lingchuan: "Captain, what about you?"
"I will return west."
February, hello.
