MTL - After the Fairy Disappeared-Chapter 478 Yiren is still here
Chapter 478 Yiren is still alive
"Of course it's Baishahou." He Lingchuan turned his neck and let out a click, "I have a hunch that something good will happen there soon."
He needs to be smarter and more careful.
More calm.
"By the way, the investigation of Shida Township has come to an end. You send someone to pass the information here to Fu Shanyue."
¥¥¥¥¥¥
Bang, bang, knock on the door.
When He Lingchuan opened his eyes, he saw the familiar wooden beams again.
A solitary spider is spinning a web on a beam.
He sat up and rubbed his face, knowing that he had returned to the Coiling Dragon dreamland.
Haven’t come in for a few days, this time he appeared directly in his cabin. It seems that the army led by the Red General finally gave up and returned to Panlong City.
Even though he was mentally prepared, He Lingchuan still let out a long sigh, deeply disappointed.
The opportunity to change the fate of everyone in Panlong City just slipped away.
"Broken Knife!" Someone shouted outside, "Drink, do you want to go?"
"go."
He Lingchuan opened the door, and saw eleven or twelve comrades in arms standing outside, including Hu Min, Liu Tiao and Shouzi.
Everyone found a nearby tavern, ordered a few jars of old wine and a few small dishes, and then set it up.
He Lingchuan chatted with everyone and found out that after he went offline in his dream last time, King Xiluo issued four orders in succession to urge the Panlong Army to return to the wasteland, each with stricter words than the last.
This is mainly because after the destruction of Xiluo, the next two countries on the way to the east of the Panlong Army were frightened and frightened. While preparing their troops, they also put pressure on the Xiluo Kingdom, and at the same time promised to help the Xiluo Kingdom fight against the southwest rebels.
They border on the territory of the southwest rebels. As long as they make trouble on the border, the southwestern rebels will definitely be scruples.
What's even more ridiculous is that after the news that the Panlong Army was preparing to return to the east came back to China, the rebels from all walks of life actually stopped a lot!
He Lingchuan took a sip of crispy salted peanuts: "Why?"
"Why else!" Liu Tiao angrily said, "I'm afraid we will go back to the country to pick their peaches! These rebels are not a good thing, no one is thinking of the common people!"
Hu Min also said: "Whoever conquers the capital will become the target of public criticism. Seeing that the Panlong Army is about to return to the country, no one is willing to make great efforts."
The capital city is not so easy to fight, Xi Luo will stay there with his last effort, and the capital city is guarded by the big demon Taurus. After killing 1,000 enemies and injuring 800, how can you face the competition from other rebels?
Now even the Panlong Army is about to return to China. Faced with the pressure brought by the brave division, all forces have begun to cherish their wings.
They stopped, and the pressure on the capital of Xiluo was greatly reduced, and they immediately felt that they could do it again, especially the decision not to let the Panlong Army return to the east was extremely wise.
It is best to let this knife hang over the heads of the enemies.
Deterrence is far more useful than action.
He Lingchuan spun his wine glass: "Master Zhong withdrew his troops because of this?"
"There are still twists and turns in this matter." The thin man said, "We stayed on the front line for too long, and as a result, Baling teamed up to attack the Panlong Wasteland, but was repulsed by Master Zhong twice. Later, Xianyou and Baling teamed up in the wasteland. The troops on the edge continued to increase, gathered and set up camps, and the number of people gathered to about 100,000, preparing for a large-scale invasion. Mr. Zhong thought over and over again, so he had to call us back."
"Northern Demon Kingdom and Baling Kingdom have always supported these small countries, especially Xilong travels thousands of miles to pay tribute to the Northern Demon Kingdom every year, otherwise how would they have the guts to clamor against Panlong City? Now that Xifei is suddenly wiped out, It’s not easy for them to sit idly by.”
There is a lot of resistance to the eastward advance, the small country is determined to fight to the death, and the mother country Xiluo strictly refuses; the old enemy invades the west again, and the Panlong army faces the enemy from the front and back, it is really not easy to leave Panlong City alone and continue the eastward march.
Liu Tiao said angrily: "From this point of view, Baling Kingdom originally opened the Jinxi Passage to us, which is also hypocritical. As soon as our army walks in front, they will come to attack. Otherwise, how could it be so easy for a 100,000 army to gather? Alliance!"
It is said that the army has not moved, food and grass go first, and an army of 100,000 people will be mobilized. I don’t know how much preparation work has been done before and after. It is all money and detailed accounts.
What's more, the two countries of Xianyou and Baling have always been at odds. This time they hit it off and dispatched the coalition forces. Was it not a premeditated plan?
The reactions of these small countries on the East Road, the reactions of Xiluo, and the reactions of Baling and Xianyou were all caught by Red General/Mi Tian and Zhong Sheng.
He Lingchuan glanced at her: "Did you analyze these?"
Wicke was stunned, a little embarrassed: "Can't it, can't it?"
After all, she is a cheerful girl, she pursed her lips and said: "Okay, okay, I didn't come up with it, it was analyzed by the masters of Asking Xiantang. Around these issues, the recent Asking Xiantang has been very lively. General Lu came to start the class, and all he talked about was war, and everyone had to be an hour in advance to get their seats. Oh, last time General Ling confronted people openly in class."
Panlong Army turned around to the east and returned to the base camp. After experiencing such a turmoil, the floating people's hearts have once again settled down.
Now the common people already know that it's not that the top officials of Panlong City don't want to go back, but that it's impossible to do anything.
Wicker took out a few ingots of silver and pushed them in front of He Lingchuan.
"This is?"
"I would like to bet and admit defeat. This is for me and the door panel." When they were in Yuheng City, they bet that the Panlong army would continue to advance eastward, while Aluo and the thin man followed He Lingchuan, betting on returning westward. "Divide the money among yourself."
He Lingchuan shook his head and pushed the money back: "It's no fun holding this money."
It was just a win, and things turned out to be unpleasant. What's the point of bringing the lottery head?
He Lingchuan changed the subject casually: "You just said, where did the door panel go?"
"I went to see his fellow villager." Liu Tiao was not pretentious, and put away the money, "Didn't you hear? His fellow villager is also a shaft, and he actually petitioned in public in Yuheng City, begging the Red General to continue the Eastern Expedition and return to the country."
He Lingchuan was startled: "In public? Isn't it a gathering?"
"No, he's the only one. Otherwise, he will be executed as the leader of the mutiny!" Submissive, this is a taboo in the army, the thin man smiled wryly, "I stood behind that man, and when the Red General glanced over, my back hurt. Stiff."
"What happened next?" The Panlong Army has strict discipline, and soldiers are required to obey unconditionally during wartime. It's not surprising that the man lost his head when he openly threatened the Red General.
"The Red General remembers his sixty military sticks, and he will execute them after returning to the city. He hasn't joined the Gale Army, otherwise he will be punished more severely." Liu Tiao shrugged, "I finished the board the day before yesterday, and my flesh and blood are bad. I will have to stay in bed next time. Door panel Send him rice noodles and soup medicine."
He Lingchuan was silent. Military sticks are not easy to handle, and some guards died without even hitting twenty boards.
Sixty notes, the Red General is quite angry.
Everyone was sulking, and returned after drinking until they were very drunk.
…
He Lingchuan returned to his residence, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard someone behind him say:
"It smells so heavy."
He turned around and saw Sun Fuling lying on top of the wall, looking sideways at him.
With a sweet smile and a dimple on her cheek, she is pretty enough to be a painting without any poses.
He Lingchuan immediately thought of the bone flute in that portrait.
Yi Ren is still here, very good.
Being stared at by him, Sun Fuling looked around and then at herself: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'm sorry for fuming you." He Lingchuan scratched his head and walked to the kitchen, "I'm going to wash up."
When he came out, Sun Fuling had already placed a basket of fruit on the table in the courtyard, and grabbed two pears from it:
"Try it? It is said to be a new variety in the eastern Chipa Plateau."
Pears are very fat, each can weigh a pound, and the peel is brown, which is not very eye-catching. He Lingchuan felt dry mouth after drinking too much wine, took a bite, but his mouth was full of sweetness, delicate and less scum.
"tasty."
"Drinking with Hu Min and the others?" Sun Fuling pulled out a dagger and peeled off a pear, and ate a piece. "These days, there has been a lot of resentment in the city."
"No one will be happy to return in vain."
"Taking the opportunity to capture Xixiang also weakened the threat from the east." Sun Fuling said leisurely, "It might be a good thing."
"Yeah, but I always feel sorry."
Sun Fuling asked him: "If you were the Red General, would you march east or return west?"
"Eastern Expedition."
"Why?" Sun Fuling raised an eyebrow, "Then you don't care about Panlong City behind? The Eastern Expeditionary Army is just an advance, and there are millions of women and children behind."
Because, no matter what price the Eastern Expedition has to pay, it is better than the final city destruction. Of course, this is an afterthought. From the standpoint at the time, the decision of the Red General to lead his troops back to the west was a deliberate consideration and it was correct.
These words can only be thought in the heart, but He Lingchuan had to say on the surface:
"Master Zhong is sitting in the rear. Besides, war is nothing more than an actuarial art. To fight or not to fight, to return or not to return, depends on how much you are willing to pay for the goal."
Sun Fuling blinked: "Actuarial? Who said that?"
He Lingchuan remained silent.
During the Battle of the Han River, he was swept away by the soaring water. It was only a few months later that he learned the result of the battle from Li Qingge, and he was greatly shocked.
Both the Yuan army and the Xunzhou army suffered heavy losses, with countless casualties, but the generals on both sides wrote letters to show their merits, saying that the victory is mine and the "combat goal" has been reached.
Isn’t this the result of “actuarial calculation”?
Sun Fuling sneered again: "The price? Are you willing to pay that price, and are the old, weak, women and children willing to pay that price?"
He Lingchuan gnawed a pear: "If people want to return, maybe they will?"
"No, people have their own thoughts, but I hope that the price will be paid by others, and the results will be enjoyed by myself." Sun Fuling said lightly, "Human nature is like this, even the people of Panlong City are the same."
He Lingchuan shook his head: "I just think it's a pity to lose this opportunity to return east."
"Forget it, if you can't change it, you can only accept it." Sun Fuling peeled off the pear and tasted it slowly, "Maybe there will be a chance later?"
He Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, but she acted as if nothing had happened, as if she was just saying something casually.
"I heard that Baling and Xianyou have united again. This is a very bad omen." Sun Fuling said softly, "There is also a gap between the two countries. There was a battle last spring, and each had casualties. together."
