Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 3385 Empty

"Order! 』

Han Gun from the military academy shouted, "Enter the mountain!" 』

Under the command, a group of hussars entered the Yanshan area along the valley.

Han Gun turned around and saluted Zhang He. Zhang He nodded and returned the half salute.

Tuoba clan on the side shouted: "Han Junhou, I wish you will come back victorious as soon as possible, so that you can treat everyone to a drink!" 』

Han Gun laughed and said, "I accept your good advice!" 』

If Zhang He doesn't move, he will be fine. If he moves, he will make a huge noise. Not only did he quickly defeat Cao Jun's soldiers and horses outside Gubeikou, he also swept away several nearby Cao Jun troops, and made a posture of launching a large-scale attack. Before entering Gubeikou Pass, Zhang He asked Han Gun to Lead a partial army along the trail.

Along with Han Gun, there was also a native of Youzhou, Liu Fu.

In the desert, the view is still broad, but once inside Yanshan Mountain, it immediately becomes cramped and embarrassing. At the same time, because of the mountain cover, even the night seems to come faster and darker than in the desert.

Liu Fu walked forward, becoming more and more silent as he walked.

Han Gun noticed this change, and when they were camping at night, he called Liu Fu, sat together by the campfire, and then asked Liu Fu why he went into the mountain. This was the case.

Liu Fu was stunned for a moment, "I...did I show it so obviously?" 』

Han Gun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Although Liu Fu was the one who shouted loudest to regain Youzhou when he was in the Northern Territory, many things cannot be judged based on the loudness of his voice. Han Gun, as a partial army, is between reality and reality. Whether it turns from reality to reality or from reality to reality depends on the actual situation. The one who can provide him with this actual situation is You. Liu Fu, a native of the state, is a local snake.

Therefore, Han Gun was naturally more concerned about Liu Fu's condition.

The night was gradually falling, Liu Fu stared at the bonfire, his face was slightly shaking and distorted under the beating light of the fire.

"I will never forget it... That fire turned all the savings of my family for hundreds of years into ashes..." Liu Fu said slowly, "The fire and smoke rose into the sky and connected with the sky. Everything is burned, burned... Han Junhou, do you know that I am actually of the Liu family's royal blood... but it is very thin now... But I have always thought that our family is doing it for the big man. I am guarding the border..."

Han Gun did not interrupt Liu Fu.

The flames of the bonfire swayed, causing the air above the flames to sway as well, as if something void was swaying above the flames.

"My eldest father was stationed in the land of Youyan. At that time, Xianbei often invaded Youzhou. My eldest father often said..." Liu Fu's voice was a little low and slow, "Protect the family and the country... protect the family, It is to protect our own home, to defend the country, to defend the country of Han... Then my eldest father died on the battlefield... That year, I was only three years old..."

"...I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be a hero!" Han Gun handed over a cowhide bag and said, "I'm going to use this water instead of wine to honor those ancestors who shrouded their bodies in horse leather for the country!" 』

"good! "Liu Fu took it, poured some on the ground, and then took a few sips. The expression on his face became more relaxed. "Later, my father also picked up a sword and a gun and went to the battlefield. According to my father's words, the big man's surname is Liu. So if no one named Liu goes to the battlefield to protect the big man, who can we count on? 』

"Well said! ” Han Gun high-fived and sighed, “If all the princes in the Han Dynasty were like this, the Han Dynasty would not be in such a situation today! 』

"Um? Liu Fu turned to look at Han Gun, "Do you know about my father?" 』

"ah? Han Gun shook his head, "What's the matter?" I don't know! 』

"Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you knew about my father..." Liu Fu shook his head and sighed.

"..." Han Gun was a little curious, but he felt that it was probably sad, and it was obviously impolite to blindly inquire about the other person's sadness.

After a moment of silence, Liu Fu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm familiar with this place, and not only the terrain of Youzhou, but also many veterans and old military schools in Youzhou. I'm familiar with it... After all, if... , can’t fight either! 』

Han Gun asked: "You mean those stationed on these mountain trails are all veterans of Youzhou?" Wouldn't there be elites in Cao's army, or middle leaders and middle protectors? 』

"There are definitely some, but certainly not many. Liu Fu said with a smile, "How many Cao Jun would be willing to come to a place like this where it is inconvenient to eat, drink, or take a shower?" Even if they come, they are mostly fringe figures... The serious Cao family's children are all in the city. It is already considered a great thing to be in Yuyang City. More are in Jixian and Yijing, so they cannot be prepared at any time. Withdraw to Jizhou and Yuzhou...』

Han Gun said: "You... I heard... this Cao Zihe... isn't that what you said, is it?" 』

"Haha, that's right! But Cao Zihe is Cao Zihe, and how many Cao Zihe are there in Youzhou? Cao Zihe is not a good person, but he is not too bad either! ” Liu Fu shook his head and sighed, “If all the Cao family members were like Cao Zihe... Huh, forget it, it’s sad to mention it, so don’t mention it! 』

When Han Gun saw this, he knew that Liu Fu was just timid about his hometown and it was not any other question, so he stopped asking any more questions.

There was nothing to say all night, but early the next morning, a group of troops continued to move forward, and in the direction of Han Gun and Liu Fu's advance, it happened to be the position guarded by Cao Jun Lei Zhong...

…

…

The war is right around the corner again, but the supplies from Jizhou that have been said to be coming since last year have never come.

Just like delayed justice is bullshit, late supplies are also rubbish.

So much so that now, Lei Zhong and others no longer care much about whether the rear can provide support or whether there are supplies. I just hope that this violent and chaotic world can stop soon. No matter what the final fate is, I will just have to accept it!

Lei Zhong climbed to the top of the mountain with several strides, then sat down on the ground with a groan, panting heavily.

When ordinary people climb mountains, even carrying a mobile phone and a bottle of water feels extremely heavy. But they not only have to bring knives and guns, but also all kinds of equipment for camping at home.

Mules and horses?

Sorry, they are not in Rome, but they are mules and horses.

So they carry everything themselves.

After gasping for breath for a long time, Lei Zhong dropped his baggage on the ground, turned around and looked at the mountainside and bottom. He saw scattered soldiers, one in the east and one in the west, all struggling to climb up. Lei Zhong wanted to shout, but after thinking about it, he forgot it. He sat back again, took out the water hyacinth from his waist, opened the cork and took a sip, holding it in his mouth for a long time without moving, and then slowly , swallow this water bit by bit down your throat.

Doing this is of course a sign of experience, but isn't it "cheating" your body? In order to survive, in order to be able to persist longer, is this kind of "deception" a good thing or a bad thing?

Lei Zhong didn't understand this, but he knew that this was the only water in the gourd. If they couldn't hold on to the next water point, they might collapse in the mountains without a fight!

That's right, the most important thing to defend on this kind of mountain trail is not to guard the mountain tops, but to guard the water points.

Which mountain is completely unclimbable?

If you really want to walk, you can go anywhere, but there are not many places where you can get water.

Lei Zhong looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting darker and darker, and there were many soldiers of Cao's army crawling slowly on the road behind him.

He endured it again and again, but in the end Lei Zhong couldn't bear it anymore. He turned around and shouted towards the mountainside, "Xie Nianglie, are you guys planning to sleep on the mountainside?" ! 』

Lei Zhong actually didn't shout loudly, but because Yanshan Mountain was empty, the sound echoed in layers, as if many people were shouting in the mountain at once.

With Lei Zhong's shout, the Cao soldiers following Lei Zhong sped up a bit, and managed to climb to the top of the mountain before it got completely dark.

Lei Zhong stood on the top of the mountain and ordered the soldiers of Cao's army who climbed up first to find a place sheltered from wind and light to make a fire and cook. At the same time, he scolded those soldiers of Cao's army who were left behind, "You cowards!" If it were in the hands of a nearby military academy, they would all be hacked to death by the supervising team on the mountain road, and not even the flesh would be left! 』

One of the veterans of the Cao Army seemed to be familiar with Lei Zhong, so he laughed and said, "Everyone knows that Lieutenant Lei is kind-hearted, so that's why they rushed to follow Lieutenant Lei!" It is our blessing to follow Captain Lei! 』

Lei Zhong and several Cao Jun military academies led their own people and spread out into Yanshan Mountain like a net or an early warning sentry. Although it is said that soldiers cannot choose who is the leader of the military academy, old soldiers naturally have their own tricks, otherwise wouldn't their years have been in vain?

"You old man. 』

Lei Zhong smiled and cursed, and said no more.

What the old **** said is right. Following the right person is a very important thing for a little person.

If you encounter some military schools that don't take the lives of the people at the bottom seriously, not to mention killing a few backward soldiers, but also doing something like working hard for thirty days, bleeding and sweating to complete a critical battle, etc., it is extremely normal. ’ matter. Even if the damage rate of mules and horses is higher, as long as the final goal is achieved, it is not a big deal. At most, the implementation method is simple and crude, and someone can write a 300-word review on their behalf. That's it.

Make rice by burying the pot.

Just as I was getting ready to eat, disaster struck.

I don't know if it was because they were discovered by the hussars a long time ago, or because Lei Zhong's voice attracted attention, but when Lei Zhong and others were about to eat dinner, the soldiers on guard suddenly let out a shrill cry. Voice: "Enemy, enemy attack!" It's a hussar, a hussar! 』

As soon as Lei Zhong let go of his hand, the gourd in his hand fell to the ground and rolled out. He didn't care, he jumped up quickly and looked in the direction pointed by the guard.

I saw only torches lighting up in the mountains, and the three-color flags looked so dazzling in the night.

"The hussars...are really here..."

Lei Zhong murmured.

"Captain Lei, are you okay? "A man flashed out from under the tricolor flag of the Cavalry opposite, and illuminated himself with a torch, "Old friend is here, would you like to come and chat with us? 』

Lei Zhong's face was ugly, "He...how did he know that I was here?" 』

The team leader responsible for arranging the watch lowered his head, "I just realized that Xiao Liuzi, who was originally sent out for patrol, did not come back..."

"Fuck!" ” Lei cursed heavily and looked around at the large and small non-commissioned officers, “What do you think? 』

The surrounding non-commissioned officers all remained silent.

"You guys..." Lei pointed at these guys, "Then I won't go..."

"Don't, don't, don't!" 』

"Captain Lei, at least listen first and then talk!" 』

"That's right!" 』

"Youdao is the envoy of the two countries who are at war without killing each other..."

Lei Zhong was so angry that he said, "With us like this, what kind of two countries are there?" Aren't you worried that I won't come back? 』

Everyone was silent again, and then someone murmured for a while: "Didn't I tell you that we would meet old friends again?" 』

"Old friend?" ” Lei Zhong sighed, “These days, there are so many people who want money rather than their lives... The more old friends we are, the more ruthless they will be... ”

Although the big man didn't have the skills to kill big data, Cao Cao showed no mercy when killing his old friends.

"This guy..." Lei Zhong sighed, "You may have heard of it before... He was originally the Queen of Hejian and Liu Situ's son. He had a great future back then... His father also had great opportunities... 』

Congzi, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, one could go up or down.

Pang Tong was the disciple of Duke Pang De.

Liu Feng was an adopted son. If his original surname was Liu, he could also be regarded as an adopted son.

Therefore, Congzi is from the same clan first and foremost, and his bloodline is relatively similar. He is closer than the nephews in later generations. To a certain extent, he can be regarded as his own child...

"Stop talking," Lei Zhong looked around again, "If you want me to go, that's actually the result... Are you sure?" 』

Everyone was silent again.

Liu Fu on the opposite mountain was not in a hurry, he seemed to be setting up a mat slowly.

Although there is only one mat and no matching table, having a seat in this wilderness is considered a relatively high-end entertainment.

After another moment of silence, a commander next to Lei Zhong whispered: "I haven't received enough military pay for a long time... I don't know who I am fighting for now..."

"That's it, now...beating, beating, spanking! Hey, have you heard everything about Xiao Linzi just a few days ago? 』

"Xiao Linzi?" 』

"Oh, I see..."

"What's going on?" 』

"It's not the same as before!" The top people are talking high-key, and the people below are doing it. General Cao is not bad, but the guys below him are..."

"Have you not heard what others have said? This is called fighting when there is a fight, and fighting when there is no fight." 』

"General Cao is busy..."

"Hey, don't say that. Cao Zihe must know what's going on. If he doesn't know, wouldn't it mean that he has lost control of his men? Then why fight?" If you know... hmph, that's the same thing, why fight? 』

When this last question was raised, everyone fell silent.

Everyone knows that Cao Chun is busy right now.

Youzhou is now in danger, and everyone knows it.

The Hussars are watching eagerly outside, and everyone knows it...

But what's the use of knowing, or just knowing?

In fact, many things are often done to cover up something, just like the leather shoe knocked on the podium. What the public sees is a broken shoe, but who knows it is to cover up the other shoe!

This kind of thing is not uncommon, but the point now is that Youzhou is still competing with the Hussar, and it does not have a huge advantage. Whether it is from the outside or internally, Youzhou is facing so much pressure, but why At such a time, something like this happened. Is this intentional or intentional and careless?

No one can tell.

But some things are not always unclear, or they can be made clear just by pretending to be clear.

Just like now, some things are unclear, so Lei Zhong and others also don't know what to do.

An enemy, a friend, or something else.

Lei Zhong looked at the faces of the military academy sergeants around him one by one, looking very carefully.

The vast majority of these people are grassroots non-commissioned officers, veterans who have crawled out of the dead.

Their attitude towards this matter can be said to represent the current attitude of the soldiers in Youzhou who are not directly under the Cao family...

At first, everyone was still avoiding Lei Zhong's gaze, but soon some people straightened their backs and faced Lei Zhong's scrutiny without hesitation, and then more people began to look at Lei Zhong, even with a look in their eyes. Some enthusiasm emerged.

They had all heard about the treatment of the Hussars.

The reason why I haven't thought about this before is because I haven't given up yet, right?

When the blood subsides and the heart is completely dead, the original standards of good and evil will no longer be so important.

They didn't say anything before because they knew no one would care if they did.

Knowing the law and breaking the law, not correcting the mistakes, the Spring and Autumn writing style, avoiding the important and choosing the light, aren't they traditional arts in Shandong?

At most, a harmless notice would be enough and the matter would be over.

It’s all taken care of, what else do you want?

But is this just one thing? Is it just one thing?

In the land of Shandong, since the time of Huan Ling, how many people have insulted the soldiers on the frontier as brainless warriors and insulted the gentlemen?

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, people begged their grandfather to sue their grandmother, but when the rebellion subsided, they immediately turned their backs and disowned them. How many people did that happen?

As for other greed for fame and fame, waiting to get cards, there are too many to mention.

When pots of cold water or even ice water are poured down, the hot molten steel will condense into gray-black iron blocks in the bursts of white smoke that make it difficult to see.

These Youzhou soldiers don’t want to fight.

At least, I don’t want to fight for Cao Jun...

"Um. ” Lei Dian nodded, “Okay, since that’s what everyone means...then I’ll go.” 』

The initially tense atmosphere among the crowd suddenly became lively.

Originally, the people above had asked them to bear all the burdens placed on these soldiers of Cao's army, but now that they didn't want to bear it for these guys above, they suddenly felt that it was very important. Relaxed.

"Boss, we are all following you anyway!" 』

"Yes, Captain Lei is our leader!" 』

"Don't call him a captain. This time, at least he is a school captain!" 』

"By the way, boss, help us get more money!" 』

Lei Zhong was a little strange. He turned to the sergeant who asked for money and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask for money?" 』

"Haha, these days, you don't have to think about getting promoted. My wife ran away with someone, and I'm left with nothing!" Isn’t there just a little extra money left? How else to live? 』
