Back Off, Let Me Come

boom!

An object flew towards him and hit him on the forehead.

The bearded man also had a stubborn temper. He endured the blow without dodging, and looked stubbornly at the old general sitting at the top.

The blood flowing from the wound on his forehead blurred his vision. A nameless anger surged through his chest and blurted out.

"She's not a spy!"

The atmosphere in the main tent was extremely tense.

All the soldiers and generals could feel the cold chill emanating from the old general. The bearded men couldn't understand the old general's intentions for a while, but they were clear observers and knew in their hearts that the old general was wiping his son's butt. But this son didn't appreciate it.

Emmm…

Young people are more likely to be stupid than adoptive brothers.

With the size of my sworn brother's brain, he probably wouldn't have thought of this level.

Thinking of this, the young man looked at his adoptive brother with a more mocking look, and he also felt sympathy for his adoptive father. All my sons are such "filial" good eldest sons. It's true -

God's way is reincarnation!

The young man lowered his eyes and suppressed the slight fluctuation in his eyes.

Old General: "Do you understand what you are talking about?"

The bearded man scratched his neck and insisted on "fighting for reputation without steaming the steamed buns" and insisted on confronting him.

"I know! She is the daughter of my son's nanny, and her identity and family background couldn't be more innocent. What a spy, it's all framed!"

The old general's eyes darkened.

The atmosphere in the main tent was even colder than before.

The two were in a stalemate for a few more breaths. The old general suddenly raised his hand and waved. Seeing this, the confidants around him understood and went out for a while.

After a while, he came in with a bowl of food and placed it in front of the bearded man. The bearded man lowered his head and saw that the soup in the bowl was turbid, with some oily flowers floating in it, and two pieces of meat with a strange sour smell sinking under the oily flowers. He was only confused for a moment, and immediately realized what it was, and his whole face was violently distorted.

He shouted sternly: "Get out of here, get out of here!"

The old general still had that kind and kind face, but what he said made everyone present shudder. He said coldly: "You said 'get out'? Your father is not dead yet. It is not your turn to say this word to him. Open his mouth and force it in!"

The confidant sighed inwardly and did as he was told.

He has followed the old general for many years. He was a member of the private tribe when he was young, and he is a close confidant who can never be kissed again. It is estimated that few people in the world know better than him the coldness and violence beneath the old general's kind exterior. If the son in front of me is ignorant, he will really die!

The bearded man struggled: "If you don't eat, what can you do to me?"

The old general was also very straightforward. He directly pulled out the knife from his waist and threw it to the ground in front of him with a thud, which was regarded as an ultimatum.

Bearded man: "..."

He looked at the old general in disbelief.

Although he often complained that the old man favored the young man, secretly speculated that the young man was the bastard of the old man and some wild girl, and complained that he was being treated unfairly... But he knew one thing in his heart -

Partiality is partiality, this father treats these sons with care and gentleness, without ever touching his true character. The harshness is limited to words, and even if he is beaten and scolded, it will not be too severe.

Which brave warrior didn't grow up with injuries?

Those beatings and scoldings were nothing.

At this moment, she actually had the intention to kill him...

There are two choices before you, you can only choose one!

The bearded man looked down, then looked up at his ruthless old father, and finally stretched his trembling fingers toward the bowl in his confidant's hand. Seeing this, his confidants breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his hand and pulled out the knife, holding it far away, fearing that the bearded man might lose his mind and commit suicide. But it was obvious that he didn't know enough about the old general's son.

The young man is nothing but the choice of his step-brother.

This sworn brother is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

When I had a quarrel with the old general before, I was sure that he would not really kill his son. But I took a step back and said that he was just talking back. At most, he would be beaten with a military stick and grounded. He was not afraid of it because of his rough skin and thick flesh!

Who would have thought that the old general would act out of character and catch him off guard!

With his eyes closed and his heart pounding, the bearded man endured the endless nausea and ate the two pieces of meat, and then drank the soup under the gaze of the old general. The salty taste lingered on his taste buds, his throat spasmed several times, and the strong nausea made his eyes watery.

The old general let him go: "Go down and sit down."

The bearded man staggered to his feet and sat back down in his seat with a pale face. His ears were buzzing and he didn't pay attention to what the people around him said. When he came to his senses again, there was a strange figure in the camp. The old general was very respectful to this person.

The bearded man looked up.

My hands and feet suddenly felt cold.

This person...he had met him once.

It is said that he is an aide of Zheng Zhi, nicknamed "King She".

Oh, the so-called "Pig King" is the Zheng Qiao brother who takes a sow as his wife and a piglet as his son. Folks jokingly call him the "Pig King", and because of his name, Zheng Qiao named him the "Pig King".

Why are King She's confidants here too?

With the blessing of his soul, he suddenly understood why the old man suddenly forced him to admit that his concubine was a spy. It was probably because of the existence of this henchman of the Pig King, and he was putting on a show for people to see? Not only did he not feel warm and regretful that he had misunderstood his old father, but he felt strong hatred and murderous intent in his heart, and his back molars grinded loudly.

Why is this so?

Because in his opinion, he was blocking trouble for the barbarians.

The traitor who burned the baggage was brought by the barbarian, and this is the culprit! In the end, he only targeted himself and didn't mention anything about Barbarian's mistakes. After thinking about it for a moment, he guessed that the old man was reluctant to bear the injustice of the barbarian, so he used his concubine to take the blame!

When he thought of his beloved concubine who died tragically, the hatred and killing intent in the bearded man's heart was like boiling water, bubbling.

However, no one here cared about his thoughts.

He also didn't hear that the young man had received an eighty military stick.

There are also categories of military sticks, some for ordinary soldiers and some for brave warriors. The strength of the latter is extraordinary. Three or five sticks can beat ordinary people to death, and thirty or fifty sticks can beat the courageous warriors until their butts are bruised and difficult to get off the ground, let alone the eighty military sticks!

The old general asked the young man: "Are you dissatisfied?"

The young man lowered his head and said with a respectful expression in front of the envoys: "My son will accept everything, and it all depends on his father's decision."

The staff messenger also knew not to suppress too much, so he smiled and said to the old general: "At present, the enemy is huge. How about delaying the military stick, Major General? After Xiaocheng is captured, it will not be too late to use the military stick..."

The old general winked at the adopted son.

The young man stood up and thanked the messenger for interceding.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the person commanding the battle this time was not an old general who had been on the battlefield for many years, but a staff messenger sent by King She. The young man observed secretly - the envoy was not young in appearance, he looked to be in his thirties or forties, and his temples were a little gray. He was wearing a dark patterned Confucian shirt, a square scarf on his head, and an exquisite vermilion heart hanging from his waist. Monogram.

Apart from his good appearance, gentle temperament, and looks better than ordinary people, there is nothing special about him.

only--

The moment the young man's eyes met with the envoy's, he realized that his idea was wrong. This man's eyes were terribly dark, dull and lifeless. As soon as I looked at him, I felt an indescribable chill that spread from the soles of my feet to my whole body, which was very frightening.

According to the process, the next step is to discuss how to attack the city.

In the young man's opinion, Xiaocheng's defenses were weak and the garrison's defenses were sparse. If he attacked one gate with all his strength, he could break through it in an hour or two. Our own military strength is already three or four times that of Xiaocheng, and the baggage and food supplies have been fully replenished with the arrival of additional troops.

Take Xiaocheng?

Easy as a piece of cake!

However, the words of the staff envoy made the generals confused.

His proposal was to besiege but not attack!

The bearded man immediately couldn't sit still and questioned aloud.

"Why is this? Our army has sufficient strength. Give me three hours, no, one hour. If you can't break through Xiaocheng, the general will be willing to come and see you! How much food and grass will be consumed if we only besiege but not attack?"

This is fighting, not playing house!

Don’t you know that soldiers are valuable and quick?

What can be finished in one day must not be postponed to the next day!

He also wanted to use this to achieve merit, so it would be best to knock down the barbarian and let everyone see who is more powerful. A courageous warrior doesn't just need to fight, he also needs brains.

In terms of resourcefulness, he will never be weaker than Barbarian!

The staff envoy said: "It has its own purpose."

The four words of understatement made the bearded man speechless. He actually wanted to choke back - the soldiers used in the war were theirs, not the envoy's. The envoy didn't feel bad, he did!

But he didn't dare. The staff member who could securely sit in the top position next to King She knew with his toes that he was a ruthless person!

The old general sighed and said, "All you have to do is follow the envoy's orders."

The staff envoy said: "There is more."

The old general asked: "Envoy, please give me your instructions."

"Those people brought back will be sent to Xiaocheng."

The old general was startled.

He knew that the "those people" mentioned by the staff were all infected with the epidemic. They were captured from the plague-infected villages under the order of King Pig, and he specifically told the old general to take them with him.

The old general was unwilling at first. He was joking and took a group of patients infected with the disease to fight on the front line? ? ?

Before reaching the front line, one of our own died of illness first!

He is crazy to do this!

But in the end, he couldn't defeat the Pig King.

The current King of Pig is no longer the elegant prince and strong competitor to the crown prince that he was before, who was knowledgeable and well-known by the outside world. Now he is sinister, suspicious and violent. He has zero tolerance for betrayal, disobedience and questioning.

Fortunately, this staff messenger had a special ability, which seemed to be able to limit the disease to certain individuals. In addition, the soldiers took proper precautions, so the disease did not spread to the soldiers.

The old general asked: "How to send it into the city?"

All entrances and exits of Xiaocheng have been closed.

The staff member said: "Anything will do."

The old general choked.

The staff made a cold suggestion, which made people frown: "Or put them into a trebuchet and throw them into the city. As long as they can be sent into the city, it doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive."

Old general: "..."

There was no reaction on the young man's face, but his eyes widened in shock. Hearing what the staff messenger meant... was he preparing for a plague to break out in Xiaocheng? Let the corpses of common people carrying the disease infect other people? Artificially creating a plague?

He lowered his head and narrowed his eyes.

The staff asked: "Do you have any questions?"

The old general said: "No."

At this time, the bearded man asked: "How long will it take for Xiaocheng to die from the plague if it is too big or too small? Our army's food and grass cannot last that long! The messenger wants Xiaocheng to die. If you only need to break through the city gates and enter the city, you can kill them cleanly in as little as one or two days, or as long as two or three days..."

He wanted to complain that the staff messenger was too ink.

If you don't know how to fight, don't give random orders here. They are responsible for charging into battle. What's the point of a literary scholar dictating?

However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly lost his voice.

The bearded man quickly understood and his face was livid.

Speech is banned!

The strong sense of humiliation made his eyes open in anger!

After all, he was a general who became famous at a young age and had been fighting for several years. However, he was silenced and silenced by an unknown literary scholar in the camp. This was tantamount to slapping him in public!

It's just that no one sympathized with his anger and no one cared about it. Even the old guy agreed to the absurd suggestion of the staff messenger.

The staff member added: "The general would like to remind you of the next thing."

The young man's eyelids twitched fiercely.

The staff member had an expressionless face: "Xiaocheng is not big or small, but the people we brought here are not enough."

The old general asked: "What does the messenger mean?"

The staff member smiled and said, "Please, veteran general, arrest some people."

The old general also felt his heart pounding.

"Messenger, I'm afraid..."

The staff member smiled and explained: "The old general has misunderstood. I am not arresting your soldiers. They are all heroes who opened up the territory for our lord. No one can sacrifice them. This will chill the soldiers." I mean, the old general can send people to arrest some old and weak ordinary people. These people are not as strong as young people and are extremely susceptible to diseases..."

Emphasis on "the old and the weak" and "ordinary people".

Old General: "..."

I couldn't help cursing inside.

The young man was sitting at the bottom, and the more he listened, the more chilled he became.

The words of the staff messenger were clearly a threat.

Instead of arresting ordinary people, they would use soldiers under tents to make up the numbers.

Thinking of this, he secretly let out a breath.

If I had known that the outside world was so filthy, I would have stayed in my homeland. It would be better to guard the graves of everyone than to look at these monsters and monsters.

After a while, the young man was called by his staff.

The staff envoy looked at him with a smile and asked, "How about leaving this matter to the Major General? It's also an opportunity to make a difference."

youth:"……"

Now he just wants to scold his staff and envoys and his entire clan!

"As you command." Despite his sworn brother's murderous jealous look, he resisted the urge to lift the table and kill people, and took on the "errand".

————————

Bad news came one after another. When they heard the news that the rebels had increased their troops, Gong Shuwu and Gong Shuwu's emotions sank to the bottom.

The short-lived fire like a meteor last night brought hope to Xiaocheng, but as soon as the day broke, the slim hope was crushed by reality. The two of them have not found the whereabouts of Lin Feng and Tu Rong, and the destruction of Xiaocheng is imminent, and the atmosphere is breathless.

However, reality is far more magical than imagination.

Chu Yao speculated that the rebels would attack the city in the afternoon or evening.

Unexpectedly, as night fell, there was no movement in the rebel camp.

What medicine are the rebels selling in their gourds?

The garrison soldiers didn't care. They only knew that they could survive for another day, and their tense nerves were relieved for a moment.

Little did he know that this was the calm before the storm.

At the zenith of the moon, the soldiers on the sentry tower observed that there was finally movement in the rebel camp, and immediately passed on the message. The soldiers on the city wall cheered up one by one, either actively or passively, and were determined to die, waiting for the final battle!
