C44 (1/2)
Wei Qingfeng held a candle in his hand, and was lying on the floor and looking at the map in the tent carefully. He thought for a long time, then raised his head, and looked at the moxibustion Monk who was sitting there leisurely, gulping down his wine, and asked: ”Great Monk, I've also finished learning your martial arts, why aren't you going back to Jiangbei? ”You just had to follow me to fight.”
The moxibustion turned his head and looked at him, then chuckled: ”No, Sprinkler wants to keep an eye on you, in case you run away, who the hell would the Sprinkler find to get someone to become his Flag Owner?”
Listening to him speak, Wei Qingfeng said snappily: ”Don't tell me that if I haven't agreed to your request for a day, you want to follow me for it?”
moxibustion said while grinning: ”That's right.”
Wei Qingfeng felt that his head was growing bigger, and thought that this Monk Jiu Rou was indeed very persistent. Just as he was thinking about this, he heard someone call out from the door: ”Brother Wei.” Hearing the voice being Ren Boan, Wei Qingfeng responded, ”Brother Ren, come in.”
Ren Boan walked in and saw Wei Qingfeng lying on the ground and looking at a map. Monks who had been following him around drinking wine all day, he said softly, ”Brother Wei, I'll go check on our food … ”Our rations …”
Hearing his tone, Wei Qingfeng immediately understood in his heart. He stood up, sighed, and asked: ”Brother Ren, how many days do we have left?”
Ren Boan became gloomy and replied in a low voice: ”At most three days.” He then shouted angrily, ”The imperial court is truly a place where unconscious officials rule. We have issued dozens of reports urging people to feed the city, but we have not found a single grain to transport it. We have served the country, but these people are still doing nothing and are still leaving us to fend for ourselves.”
Wei Qingfeng heard him get angry, he shook his head and said: ”Brother Ren, looks like within three days, we have to attack Phoenix City, if not, before we use our enemies, we will starve to death.”
Hearing him say that, Ren Boan also sighed: ”Brother Wei, we have been fighting our way over from the north, we have been invincible and have defeated everything. Why did you let General Hu Tie lead 80,000 troops to retreat and defend, otherwise our chances of winning would be higher with more troops and horses.”
Wei Qingfeng made a sound of acknowledgement, remembering that when Qian Er followed Iron back, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her voice could not be stopped, he sighed and said in a heavy voice, ”Brother Ren, do you still remember the game we played with that white-haired Old Taoist at the top of Yinshan's mountain? That game of chess was conducted by Bai Zi alone, and after the final strike, we were surrounded by Hei Zi. ”When we took down the Larchu River, although we were able to march smoothly, our provisions were no longer able to keep up, and most of the soldiers were exhausted. In the midst of the enemy forces, I suddenly felt that we were like white stones on a chessboard.”
Hearing him talk about that game of chess, Ren Boan's heart moved, he remembered that the Brother Wei's method of dealing with the game of chess was the same as the one before, and he said suddenly: ”So that's how it is. So, Brother Wei, you told General Hu Tie to lead the troops to defend the Jiede channel and the Jinshan Road, and even Miss Qian Er to lead a portion of the troops to defend the Full Moon City, just like how she did that day when she played chess with him. You sent a disciple to each of the wings behind your back, and even added a son behind your back to stabilize the rear, the worst case scenario would be that you would not lose out in a short period of time, wouldn't that be? ”
Wei Qingfeng nodded his head, and heard Ren Boan say in shock: ”Then the chess piece we have here is the chess piece that rushed into Hei Zi's path, the chess piece on this path … ”This chess piece …”
Wei Qingfeng nodded his head with a bitter smile, and said: ”That's right, this chess piece is a chess piece that knows the path to death, and must charge in to fight the enemy to the death. Brother Ren, I'm sorry, but I've caused you to take such a huge risk together with me.”
Ren Boan puffed his chest and said: ”Brother Wei, you overestimated me by allowing me to be your chess piece in the middle of the path. However, you are the son of the Great General and the future Prince Consort of the imperial court. ”Sigh.”
How could Wei Qingfeng say that it was because the Emperor wanted him to go to the Phoenix City to save the next woman that he had ordered these seventy thousand soldiers to take the risk and attack together with him? He could only shake his head and say, ”I am the main general, so I will naturally charge in front. Since we are already fighting, let's not think about whether we can return alive.”
Ren Boan listened to him speak and nodded with all his might, his gaze looking at him with admiration. Wei Qingfeng thought for a while, then said: ”We do not have enough food, so we will attack first thing in the morning. As for our journey here, we will not meet any large-scale battles, so the barbarians must have focused their forces on the Phoenix City.
Ren Boan nodded his head and also walked to the side of the map. He squatted down and pointed to the map: ”There are mountains on three sides of the Phoenix City, and behind them is the Mount Hulun with the Barbarian Son. On the east is the jade mountain, on the west is the Hordeum, and below the mountain is the Sai Ye River.
Wei Qingfeng nodded his head, he was also staring at the map below him. After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of something, laughed out loud, and turned around: ”Great Monk, this time, you have to help me.”
moxibustion was drinking wine, hearing his words, his expression stunned, and he asked blankly: Sprinkler does not know about battles, what can Sprinkler do?
Wei Qingfeng smiled and pointed to the map: ”You won't fight, but with your heart of dead wood's inner force, you should be able to do the diving and holding your breath.”
moxibustion was stunned and confused: ”Dive?”
