burning nations

Chapter 125

In the cold winter in the north, on the grassland, a large-scale cavalry unit was heading southward against the wind, snow and ice.

A thousand cavalry commander couldn't bear his son's cold, so he rode his horse up to communicate with the commander.

"Gu Hu is bald, stop! Please stop for the sake of Changshengtian's believers! Look at how big the snow is now! If you continue like this, all the warriors will go to see Changshengtian!"

The Qianqi Commander named Gu Hutu said: "Maimati, what are you talking about! No! Absolutely no! Don't you see what time it is now? The Zhagu people have assembled heavy troops in the south of Helan Mountain, and they are arresting people in many places. Conscripting slaves, Liu Fa's old goat's Shengding army is buying beans, salt, and dried meat. Even a blind woman can see the intention of seizing the pasture! How many warriors went south to investigate before winter was hunted by the Zhagu army In this case, if you don’t find out the reality of the Zhagu people, how can you keep the pasture? How can Marshal Du defeat the damn Zaku people!”

Maimaiti said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you are the child born by the wise man in Asahi, and I am the child born by Eji before the banquet. You don't have to teach me! Anyway, you are our commander. We just listen to you, Qianqichang, anyway, if something happens, Changshengtian will also punish you, Gu Hubald."

Gu Hubald ignored him: "Where are we now?"

Maimaiti said decisively: "We are almost at the root village of the Zhagu people."

Under the command of Gu Hutu, their team of cavalry braved the cold wind and heavy snow. Since they set off, they have not been spotted by the soldiers of Zhagu's army, and they have already penetrated three hundred miles.

Gu Hubald nodded: "Keep moving forward, before reaching Xiong'an Village and entering Helan Mountain, we must not let the Zhagu people find out!"

The snow fell bigger and bigger, covering the footprints of the wolves sneaking in.
At the end of the 41st year of Zhangwu, on New Year's Eve, on this day and the day before, Lin Yang's tense strings were slightly loosened, and the soldiers who had been training for a long time were released by their respective commanders. Slowly tired body.

After all, Lin Yang has been following Tan Yang's butt for a long time, so it's not that he doesn't know the reason for his relaxation.

Lin Yang didn't care about things in the hot spring village, so Zhang Cai took the decision for Lin Yang, slaughtered two cows and ten sheep, and divided up the cut meat. Both ordinary people and big-headed soldiers got a very small piece of meat.Although the pieces of meat are small, they all think of Lin Zhizhai's goodness, and say that Lin Yang is benevolent and righteous!

Really Nimad, Zhang Cai has nowhere to reason.

In short, the village is full of celebrations. Ordinary soldiers have meat but no wine, but the generals must have meat and wine. Taking advantage of the great festive atmosphere, I have a cup with Ma Peng, Wang Chang, Qin Yuan, Yi Shang, and Zheng Wei. Changing lamps greatly increases feelings.

The men were drinking in the prefect's mansion, while the woman Zhang Cai went up to the wall of the village to search alone.It is one thing to comfort the soldiers who are still on guard. It is just to blow the cold wind to calm yourself down, and to have less unnecessary and troublesome emotions in your heart.

Raising Qiong's forehead to stare at the bright cold moon, there seems to be a man's shadow reflected in the beautiful eyes, and the moonlight shines on the jade face, lengthening her lonely shadow.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Cai suddenly smelled the smell of alcohol, and turned around to see Lin Yang walking up the wall of the village unsteadily, with soldiers supporting him on both sides.

"Don't help me, I'm not drunk, what should I do!"

Lin Yang broke free and drove away all the soldiers, and gave Zhang Cai a frivolous smile.

Lin Yunji hadn't been frivolous for a long time since he became a knowledgeable villager.

"Beauty under the moon, who are you waiting for?"

Zhang Cai avoided answering: "Did you think of me after drinking?"

Lin Yang hehe: "That's true. You look so lonely, don't you?"

Zhang Cai heard that he didn't answer.

Lin Yang paused for a moment, and said tentatively, "Do you want to go back to the Imperial Capital? Find Zhu Ruopan and the others?"

Zhang Cai shook his head with a wry smile: "What are you doing back in the capital? Marry? Give birth? Take care of your husband and raise your children? I'll stay in the frontier."

"Zhang Cai, you..." Lin Yang was speechless, "How about we learn from each other?"

Zhang Cai sneered and said, "It's midnight in the middle of the night. You're really not afraid of fighting during this time. It's unlucky for the coming year?"

Just as Lin Yang was about to speak, he suddenly felt the corners of his eyes brighten up.

"Why is the west side so bright?!" Lin Yang shouted in surprise.

"It's Huoguang!" Zhang Cai immediately made a judgment, "Something happened to the west! What villages are there in the west? Is it root village?"

Later, the soldiers stationed on the watchtower reported that there was a fire about less than 20 miles to the west, and it seemed that something happened to the Zhagen village next to it.

Lin Yang hurriedly took Zhang Cai to the west, boarded the towering lookout tower, climbed up and looked far away, a big fireball was burning on the quiet snowy field in the dark night, and the reflection was very bright.It also alarmed Ma Peng, Wang Chang and others. People who practice martial arts have good hearing, and there seems to be the sound of fighting, indistinct and intermittent.

[Something must have happened!It must be that Zhagenzhai was broken!Damn it!Where did the iron man come from in his thirties?How did the iron man break the root village? 】

Not allowing Lin Yang to think too much, he staggered and walked downstairs quickly, wanting to beat drums to gather generals, but was stopped by Zhang Caisheng.

"Why are you panicking in Zhizhai? Know what's going on? What if Zingenzhai is flooded? Even if there is an iron man, you can see what's going on at night? The outside is the most suitable place now." Iron man fighting! Don't be impulsive in Zhizhai, and please be responsible for the countless soldiers and people in Wenquanzhai!" Zhang Cai spat.

Lin Yang became drunk: "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case, I'm going to have a look!"

Zhang Cai obstructed: "Zhizhai, no matter how anxious you are, you have to wait until dawn!"

During the conversation, Ma Peng, Wang Chang and others were coming, and the five of them persuaded together after knowing the situation, and they all agreed with Zhang Cai's opinion, it is not good to go out at night, wait for the sun to come out.

Lin Yang was persuaded by inside and outside and had no choice but to give up.

Of course, it was also because he drank too much.

On the first day of the New Year in the 42nd year of Zhangwu, he ignored all traditional customs. Lin Yang sent scouts to investigate after sobering up, and the scouts escaped with injuries within half an hour.

"Report to Zhizhai, the Zhagenzhai is over. It is full of iron cavalry, only half of the wall is left in the military village, full of dead people and charred corpses, the village is empty, the granaries and arsenals have been emptied, and there is no one alive."

"Besides, yesterday's heavy snow covered the horseshoe prints, so it's impossible to tell where Iron Man came from!"

"The villain is observing outside. There are more than a thousand cavalry of the Iron Man, and there are about two or three thousand cavalry."

When Lin Yang heard the scout's investigation report, he became furious!
[Grandma's!Dare to massacre and destroy villages under my nose, Lin Yang and Lin Yunji!Don't you take me, Lin Yunji, seriously!Treat Lao Tzu as air! 】

It is time to summon soldiers and horses to give Iron Man a ruthless blow!
Zhang Cai quickly pulled back: "Zhizhai, didn't you hear what the scouts said? About two or three thousand iron man cavalry, Zhizhai thought that all the soldiers and horses in the village would go out to fight in the field, what effect would it have? Zhizhai wants to avenge the root village , didn't die with Zha Genzhai!"

Lin Yang asked back: "Then what do you say?"

Zhang Caiyan said: "If there are more than [-] cavalry in Zhizhai, my subordinates would like to fight with Zhizhai in a field battle! But there are no thousands of cavalry in the village, so it is a fool to hit a stone with an egg. What Zhizhai should do It is to report to know, and notify the surrounding villages to strengthen their vigilance! Defending the village will not be the next one!"

"Okay." Lin Yang said unwillingly.

Zhang Cai was afraid that Lin Yang would not be able to make it through, so he comforted him, "Don't be sad at Zhizhai. Zhizhai is just a Zhizhai, and the only thing he can manage is the soldiers and horses of the hot spring village. When Zhizhai is the General Jiedu's side, there are more than [-] troops in charge. , I won’t feel aggrieved today.”

"I know I know."

The incident had already happened, and Lin Yang hadn't drank badly in the next few days, and his horse never left his saddle.However, after a few days, not only was there no Iron Man attack, even the Iron Man was gone.Lin Yang sent scouts to investigate again, but there was not a single soldier within a hundred miles.

"Where is the iron man? How could he just disappear?!" Lin Yang paced back and forth in Zhizhai's mansion anxiously, "Could it be that he flew up into the sky?!"

"I said Yunji, can you calm down? It dazzled my eyes." Zhang Cai lightly drank a cup of milk tea, "It's normal for Iron Man to come. Don't forget that General Liu is preparing for battle. The village has done a lot of fine work in destroying the Iron Man, and this time the Iron Man cavalry should also come to spy on General Liu."

"It's just how did the iron man cavalry come here? Where did they go? Why didn't the villages in the north give warning? If you go south, you go to Xiong'an? Then why didn't the military villages along this road give warning?" Zhang Caifen frowned slightly.

Zhang Cai really couldn't figure it out, the Iron Man Cavalry came as they came, and they would come countless times every year, it didn't matter anyway, but where did they come from?There are many roads, but given the time the empire has taken root here and the density of military fortresses, could a certain path be missed for Iron Man to take advantage of?

The more unknown, the more dangerous it is!
Fortunately, the next day, the trace of the Iron Man Cavalry was located again.
