Chapter 3 No Clothes (12)
Generally, people who have experienced many battles have a vigilant heart and their pressure will naturally emerge. The murderous aura accumulated in the bloody storm is so strong that Shi Lan can not only feel it, but even the war horses under the two of them are frightened and restless. Heifeng roared softly, and his four hooves were tense. Just as the master on his back lifted the reins, he rushed half of the electricity towards the pointing of the blade. However, the peach blossom constellation that Erya rode "shoulder" and tried to move his body several feet away from the distance.
"Report to General..." Zhou Daniu and Guo Fang rushed back to sue the order, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so he was stunned. The second half of the sentence was speechless and stood blankly five feet away.
"What's the matter?" Li Xu quickly adjusted his mindset, took his hand away from the hilt of the knife, and asked with a smile.
"Report to the general, the old and weak in the village said that the general would not kill one person before they could open the door to surrender. Otherwise, they would rather burn them together!" Guo Fang wiped his forehead, not knowing whether he was tired or scared, and answered first.
"Answer them, I won't kill the elderly, women and children. As for men, since they lifted the knife, they should know that there will be such a day!" Li Xu suppressed his annoyance and replied coldly.
"Yes, I will send the order immediately!" Guo Fang didn't know why Li Xu was angry just now, but his scalp was numb by the strong aura of the other party, so he was eager to hide from a distance.
"Don't be busy for now!" Before he could turn around, Li Xu added in a deep voice, "Tell the bandits in the village that I will not bargain with them anymore, nor will I kill innocent people. If they are still men, I know what to do!"
"Respect!" Guo Fang agreed and galloped away. Li Xu waited for him to go far, then looked at the helpless bull on the side, frowned and asked, "Have General Zhang started to withdraw his troops? Why haven't he turned around yet? What are the casualties of brothers? Is the results of the counting results?"
"Prison, there are too many prisoners. General Zhang is escorting them slowly. If the general needs him to come to see him as soon as possible, I will immediately rush to urge him. Changshi Fang has already counted the casualties of his brothers and will be sent to him soon. If the general needs to know urgently, I will also pass on the way!" Zhou Daniu answered quickly without thinking.
"No need, you bring a few people to send your wife back to the camp. I will go to pick up General Zhang in person!" Li Xu shook his head and shouted.
Although he knew Erya was unwilling to leave, Zhou Daniu did not dare to disobey the commander's order, so he had to urge his mount to move forward and gently pull the reins of Taohua Cong. Erya was also scared by Li Xu's appearance just now. He did not say a word, allowing Zhou Daniu to take him and his mount away from the battlefield. After walking hundreds of steps, he could no longer bear it. He drank teardrops one by one from the other, and rolled down from his face.
Seeing that the wife was crying, Zhou Daniu was not persuaded, nor was he not persuaded. He only held her forehead so that her blue veins burst out, and then murmured with comfort, "The smell of blood on the battlefield is heavy, so people are inevitably irritable. The general's fire may not be aimed at you, Mrs. Don't think too much!"
"I know he is worried about national affairs!" Shi Lan wiped his tears and whispered. "But all the civil and military officials in the court don't care whether the country is lost. How much can he control alone? He always thinks that all the heroes in the world are as warm as him, but he doesn't know that people's hearts are separated by their stomachs. How can he guess what others are asking for at this time!"
Zhou Daniu heard Shi Lan's words with resentment and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. It was indeed not a rational choice for his own general to lead troops to compete with Wagang at this moment. But it was precisely because the general was a passionate man that he followed him wholeheartedly. Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice to persuade him: "The general may not have thought of what the lady said just now. It is just a matter between men, and the lady may not understand it, so it is better not to interfere!"
"What do you mean?" Shi Lan was stunned by the big bull, put away her tears, and asked angrily.
"Madam must also know that the general was born in a humble background and did not have so many relatives and friends left by his father's generation to help him! He was able to reach such a field today, all of which were shot out by one knife." Zhou Daniu thought for a while and replied.
Among the few generals in the army who have been following Li Xu since Xiongwu Camp, he is very clear about Li Xu's growth experience over the years. In his spare time, he dreamed that he was Li Xu and could be as powerful as him. But the longer he followed the other party, the more he respected Li Xu. He knew that even if he was in the same position and had the same opportunity, he would not be as good as the general.
Over the years, countless people in the army started at the same time as General Li, and their family backgrounds were ten times better than General Li, and they were ten times smarter than General Li, either unknown or completely lost power. Only General Li always moved up step by step. This situation cannot be described by the word "luck". It is a concentrated reflection of a person's talent, ability, accurate grasp and judgment of the situation. Every choice does not seem to be the smartest, but all choices are much better than playing cleverness in a single stage.
"That's right! If there are many resourceful and decisive people around him, I don't have to worry about him like this!" Erya heard Daniu's mysterious words, her attention was slightly attracted, and she felt a little aggrieved in her heart. She suddenly felt much lighter, and she responded with her tears in her eyes.
Zhou Daniu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Those so-called wise men are very snobbish. Before the general rises, which one of them is willing to follow him sincerely?" With a sigh, he continued: "Even if they are willing to follow him, the idea must be mostly vicious. If the general listens, it will be a bad thing."
"Why is that?" Shi Lan was completely dizzy by Zhou Daniuluo and asked with tears in her eyes.
"Take the things in front of you, Zhao Sima, Cui Taishou, including Wu Tongshou of Qi County, who has never persuaded the general to give up his thoughts of avenging Mr. Zhang for the time being and watch the changes in the times." Zhou Daniu looked around and found that there were no irrelevant people eavesdropping beside him, explaining in a very low voice. "But Mr. Zhang recreated our general's kindness. If his head was kept hanging on the Wagang Mountain and was blown by the sun and the general ignored him, please think about the heroes of the world, how would he think of our general?"
"Besides, Your Majesty has repeatedly promoted the general without any exception. Although he was defeated by the world, he never let him down. If the general refused to come south, those who knew knew understood that he had not received the imperial edict at all, and those who didn't know would think that he would turn a turtle when he saw the situation was not good. What would those imperial examination scholars who had high hopes for the general think? Do they still think that the general is different from those rich children?" Zhou Da Newton paused and continued to add.
Because his speech was too fast, his breathing became very uneven and his face turned extremely red. But every word and sentence was at the point, and the other party couldn't help but nod.
"Madam, please think, how many of the brothers who are following the general are now coming for his name? If he doesn't go south, it will be unrighteous to Mr. Zhang. For Your Majesty, it will be unfaithful. Can a person who is unfaithful and unrighteous and courageless, convince the brothers? Even if it is a wife, can she live her life with such a cowardly man?!"
"Zhou, General Zhou said, I, I really see it lightly!" Shi Lan was furious when asked, lowered her head and responded with a mosquito-like voice.
"Not only that, nearly half of the generals in our Boling army are from Qi County. If the general refuses to stand up for Mr. Zhang, what will the generals think of him? Will the morale of the army be peaceful? The six counties of Boling are a place of four battles. The generals have taken over less than two years, and the time and place are not there, and the only people can be relied on. If the morale of the army is in chaos, can the six counties of Boling be safe? To be honest, I have followed the general for so many years and hesitated when I see him making a decision, but I have never seen him as difficult as this time. So if the lady wants to help him, it is better not to disturb his mood!"
"I, I'm afraid, afraid..." Shi Lan wanted to say that she was afraid that someone would attack Li Xu for her future, but she was afraid that Zhou Daniu would be unhappy after saying it. She hesitated and couldn't answer half of the conversation for a long time.
"No matter what the lady is afraid of, she can only do it for the general quietly, and cannot say it casually. Otherwise, the brothers will feel that the general regards a woman as more important than the lives of all of them, and instead ruins the general's affairs!" Zhou Daniu turned his body and advised him very solemnly.
"General Zhou said it very well! I know what to do!" Shi Lan was also a smart woman. He knew that Zhou Daniu was completely out of kindness, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and responded with a smile.
"I followed the general in the second time I conquered Liao. I believe that the general is not a stupid person. It is best for the wife to believe in the general, otherwise it will only make things more and more chaotic!" Zhou Daniu saw that Shi Lan completely accepted his suggestions, smiled and summarized.
‘Since he is his woman, believe him and then do the things he missed for him.’ Shi Lan nodded and thought silently. She found that she now understands why Qi'er, after learning that Li Xu was about to go south, not only did she not stop him, but instead prepared food and supplies for her common husband. That is the wisdom of being a woman passed down from generation to generation of aristocratic families. She just had a lesson and needed to learn a lot...
"Where did you learn these tricks? Did the general ask you to tell me?" After chewing Zhou Daniu's advice several times, she raised her head in confusion and asked.
