I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 113 The silence is deafening!

As he cursed, Gongsun Jingsheng felt more and more miserable and couldn't help but cover his face and cry.

Damn it, who did I offend?

I had been living a good life. My father was one of the Nine Ministers and the Minister of the Imperial Household, and he was also the Marquis of Nanhuan, with a fief of 1,300 households.

I was married at a young age. If nothing unexpected happened, I would have had many good days ahead of me. How did I end up being used as a shield?
What's the difference between me now and these exiled soldiers? I don't want to die yet...

However, this scene appeared completely different to the soldiers in the camp.

"This new general...he treats us as human beings..."

"He wept bitterly for us?"

"He was willing to use his own food to fill the army's rations, just to let us have a few full meals..."

"There are generals in the world who love their soldiers like their own sons, even though we are the lowest of low... exiled soldiers."

"He knows that I was a burden to others and was wronged by cruel officials. Although my life has come to this point, I am able to follow such a general before I leave. It can be regarded as a blessing from God..."

"..."

For a moment, Gongsun Jingsheng inadvertently touched most of the exiled soldiers in the Xiandeng camp while he was suffering.

These ragged soldiers gradually gathered forward, surrounded Gongsun Jingsheng and Zhang Chao, and looked at the fat man who was crying bitterly in silence.

"Whatever you are going to do?"

"You want to rebel? You don't want to live anymore!"

The junior officers in the barracks were also frightened by this scene and ran over to shout loudly, but the whips in their hands were just for threatening purposes and they did not dare to actually whip these exiled soldiers.

To say that you are not afraid is absolutely a lie!

If they accidentally beat these exiled soldiers and caused a mutiny, these officers would not have enough time to escape.

Even if they were lucky enough to escape under the cover of night, they would definitely not end up well for causing such a big trouble on the first day of the expedition. They would inevitably be punished by military law to enforce military discipline.

"?!"

While crying bitterly, Gongsun Jingsheng finally realized that something was wrong. He raised his round face with tears and snot streaming down his face in surprise, and then took three steps back in fear.

next moment.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft..."

All the exiled soldiers knelt down.

At this moment, even the junior officers stopped cursing and all stood there in a daze, staring at this incredible scene.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The flickering campfire illuminated the dim camp. Mottled black shadows rose and fell, and the only sound was the quiet sobbing of everyone in misery.

This is a group of truly miserable soldiers.

The abandoned people of the country are the pariahs of the country.

I don't mourn for the country, I only mourn for myself.

"you……"

At this moment, Gongsun Jingsheng was also stunned.

Although when he was in Chang'an, he was the son of the Grand Coachman and the nephew of the Queen and the General, people often bowed and scraped to him in order to please him.

But he could still clearly feel that these exiled soldiers this time were completely different from those in the past.

They were not trying to please him or ask anything of him, but were kneeling down in worship with all their heart.

They had no intentions towards him, they were just purely grateful and thankful, just because of such a tiny favor that seemed insignificant to him...

At this moment, Gongsun Jingsheng suddenly felt that he completely understood them, just as he was understood by them. He didn't need to say anything.

They don't have to say anything.

The night wind, the campfire, the tent, the moonlight, the shadows, and the boiling soup in the pot are all talking quietly and silently.

He couldn't hear it before, but now he can hear it clearly.

They heard it clearly too.

This silent confession is clearly deafening.

But the person who should have heard it, because he was sitting too high and looking too far away, could not hear anything...

"Everyone, get up, the water is boiling, put the rice in and cook the porridge. You guys can continue to cook the porridge."

Gongsun Jingsheng didn't know what was wrong with him. Suddenly, a sour feeling even stronger than before surged into his nose, and he quickly turned his face away.

But the sound he made could not escape the tone of uncontrollable crying.

"General..."

The cries of the exiled soldiers gradually became louder.

Zhang Chao and a group of grassroots officers were also touched. They silently put down their whips and turned their backs quietly:

"Captain Gongsun's crying is really a good way to win people's hearts. When I first saw him today, I thought he was a fool. I was too blind..."

……

One month later.

North of Huangshui River.

The stone royal city of the Xianling Qiang, which can only be described as simple compared to the Weiyang Palace, is located here.

In the royal court.

The Xianling Qiang leader Liangzhang, the Fengyang Qiang leader Nacuo, and the Laozu Qiang leader Dangji gathered together.

There was another person who was dressed very differently from them and had very different facial features. He was sitting at the same level as them.

——Wukun, the Tuye commander of the Xiongnu.

"My dear leaders, I have received news that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty has sent a total of 35,000 soldiers and horses, and they are divided into two groups to attack us."

Wu Kun took out a piece of bamboo slips from his pocket and said seriously,

"Only 15,000 soldiers from one route have arrived at the outskirts of Daxia County in the northern part of Han Longyou County and have been camped there for several days."

"Another group of 20,000 soldiers, supervised by the Crown Prince of Han, have also entered Wuwei County. In a few days, they will reach Cangsong County, south of Wuwei County."

"It is not difficult to see that the Han army intends to attack you from both north and south this time..."

At this point, the Xianling Qiang leader Liang Zhang suddenly interrupted him and said with a nonchalant smile:

"With only 35,000 Han troops, they dared to split into two groups. They really don't take the Qiang people seriously!"

"Chief Nacuo, Chief Dangji, I have a suggestion. Why don't we lead the Qiang army together and attack the 20,000 Han troops supervised by the Han crown prince? If we can capture the Han crown prince, won't the Han country immediately surrender to me and kowtow to me?"

The Fengyang Qiang leader Nacuo and the Laozu Qiang leader Dangji also laughed:
"Leader Liangzhang is right. Previously, we only heard that small countries in southern Xinjiang offered hostages to the Han Kingdom. If we capture the Han crown prince, then the Han Kingdom will offer hostages to us Qiang people. Who is stronger and who is weaker will be judged by all. Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Kun frowned and advised helplessly:
"Think carefully, three leaders. We, the Xiongnu, have fought against the Han Kingdom for many years, and we have a good understanding of the situation of the Han army."

"Although the three leaders have gathered nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, their training level and weapons and equipment are far behind those of the Han army."

"Besides, the Crown Prince of Han is personally supervising the army, so the Han Kingdom will not be without defense. I expect that the 20,000 soldiers and horses accompanying the Crown Prince of Han must be the elite of the elite. I am afraid that even if the three leaders mobilize all their forces, it will be difficult to achieve results in the short term."

"Therefore, I think the three leaders should lead their troops to attack the 15,000 Han troops first."

"After swallowing it quickly, we can wait for an opportunity to go north and besiege the Han crown prince's troops. This way, no Han army can come to rescue in the short term, avoiding a stalemate and being attacked from both sides, which is exactly what the Han State wants."

　Thanks to Mr. [Wuyin Guke] for his reward and support.
