Chapter 5 Bloody Battle of Niutoushan II
All that remains of the former friendship is a simple straw mat and a leather bag.
It’s been a year since my wedding, and it’s only today that I discovered that Tashi’s tenacity looks like the ruggedness and boldness of a prairie man, but is so delicate in his heart.
Thinking of all the joys of Fengshan's friendship, Jinggan burst into tears. Only today did he realize that not all relationships are as beautiful as they seem.
Among them, he was right about only one thing, and that was Fengmei's indifferent look when she sent Tashi back.
The beautiful tribe's important place, Tinghou Mansion, was in ruins.
Every time you pass a street intersection, you can hear the frightened shouts of the homeless people who are still alive. Every time you pass a shop, you can see the miserable conditions inside.
Next to the fire at Futai Street, there was a teenage child, rubbing his eyes and looking at the fire, shirtless in the cold winter.
Jing Qian saw it from a distance, as if he saw holly, walked to him, and put his coat on his shoulders with concern. The child turned around, looked at Jing Qian with a fearful look, and pushed him away.
"No, I don't want your clothes! I want my mother back. I only have one mother left!"
After every war, the seemingly glamorous world is torn to pieces by just one demand voiced by a group of people at the bottom.
One of his men shouted: "You little brat, how dare you contradict us, Captain!"
Jing Gan turned his eyes and stared at his men, slapped him hard on the face and asked: "You may never know what despair is! But I can tell you, the face and pain that my slap tore off is far less than his." One ten thousandth now!”
The child kept twitching and looked at Jingqian coldly: "My mother said that all the people in the tribe are relatives, but I watched helplessly as my mother was chopped off her hands and feet with knives and thrown into the fire..."
Before he finished speaking, the child burst into tears.
The child's words completely angered Jingqian from the bottom of his heart. In the face of righteousness, all he followed were meaningless rules of the world.
He squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "Tashi!"
Three days later.
In the training camp of the Duwei Mansion, Jing Gan personally directed the combat route.
"If you cut in from behind Niutoushan, you must pass through the territory of Sanlaohui. Now I don't know which way to turn the Sanlaohui sign. This won't work!"
Jingqian directly rejected Di Qi's battle plan.
Since it was the first time he faced such a problem, and the other party was the person most accustomed to fighting, Jinggan was extra cautious.
He raised the flag and looked at the sand table. He lost his mind for a moment, and his mind was filled with images of Tashi and the child, as well as Fengshan and the current Tinghou Mansion.
"Captain! Make a decision. If you don't know, the other party has already set up an ambush on the route."
Jingqian suddenly woke up and remembered what Tashi said before: There is no way to lead troops in war, as long as you are worthy and the soldiers have high fighting spirit!
He patted the raised flag on the case and looked at the vanguard officers firmly: "I have made up my mind about this battle. There is no need for all parties to panic. I am just testing your fighting spirit! Okay, not much to say. , set off immediately! We will camp at Laemamatan, ten miles away from Niutoushan today!"
When the generals heard this, they immediately got excited and immediately took orders to gather and set off.
After leaving the city, there had just been a heavy snowfall, and the snow on the road was very dazzling.
After passing the first pass and exchanging customs clearance orders, Jinggan led the team and continued walking forward. When they reached the path at the foot of Beishan Mountain, they seemed to hear someone shouting on the mountain.
After Jinggan gave the order to stop, he put his hands on the pergola and looked towards the mountain. He said with great joy: "It's the horse army!"
After getting off the horse, he rolled up his robe and ran towards the mountain.
Ma Jun shouted to stop Jing Gan, waved his hand in the distance and said: "The leader has issued a military order. You can't come up, and I can't come down either!"
Jingqian reluctantly put down his clothes.
Ma Jun continued to shout: "Jing Gan! Don't hold a grudge against Tashi! You know him well! Tell him that when he changes his mind, we will have to make up for his meal..."
These words may seem a bit plain to others, but when Jing Gan heard it, he felt sad in his heart. It was so simple that even Ma Jun could see through it. Why could he not trust his brother because of some of the things he had seen?
"Don't worry!"
On the way to the expedition, Jinggan kept lying to himself, Tashi would definitely be able to turn around!
But in a blink of an eye, he looked back at the marching team and said to himself with a wry smile: Ma Jingqian, Ma Jingqian, I have known Tashi for so many years, what has he regretted and what has he turned back!
My mood was extremely low for a time, and it was not until late in the evening that I arrived at Lame Horse Beach.
After setting up camp, he arranged for his three pioneer officers to take care of his brothers, and then hurriedly went to the upper reaches of Laimatan to survey the terrain. He did not return to the camp until there were no problems at all.
At night, the starry sky shines.
In the general's camp in Niutoushan, Tashi had been drinking heavily all afternoon.
Taking advantage of wine to soothe his sorrows and make them worse, he left the camp and looked at the stars in the sky.
Fengmei was also sitting on the grassy beach outside the tent. When she saw Tashi coming out of the camp, she removed the sadness on her face, smiled and hugged Tashi.
"It's been a year, and today is the only time I am you!"
What Tashi said deeply touched Fengmei's heart. She was sad, she didn't want to be like this, but she couldn't find the answer from beginning to end.
Tashi's expression suddenly changed, and he pointed to the horizon and asked, "Mei, do you believe what the ancients said?"
Fengmei responded: "They are all rumors, don't take them too seriously!"
"But I heard what the old man said, if the fire from the sky cuts across the earth, there will be casualties!"
Fengmei lightly punched Tashi on the shoulder: "How can there be such a strange thing? You are talking nonsense! Don't always talk about immortality, it is so ugly."
"I hope so!"
The two were affectionate for a long time, and Fengmei said: "If you speak with your conscience, do we still need to be together?"
When Tashi heard this, he felt a little depressed: "I have put so much effort just to be with you!"
"There is always a wall between us. You can't walk through it, and neither can I."
Tears fell from Fengmei's eyes, and she continued: "I hate myself so much, and I hate you so much!"
Lame Horse Beach, outside the camp, under the moonlight.
A pot of wine, a knife, and a person.
Jing Gan drank alone, with two cups beside him. After finishing one cup, he poured the other cup down with the knife.
The war is coming, no drinking is allowed!
What bullshit rules! The more Jinggan thought about the rules and regulations set by the world, the angrier he became. If it weren't for these so-called Jianghu favors, he wouldn't be so trembling. If it weren't for these so-called Jianghu favors, the world would not be what it is today.
After drinking the wine, he sat up from the ground, pulled out the knife on the ground and slashed the wine bottle in half. Now he felt comfortable and shouted: "It feels good!"
Dicky in the camp showed half of his head and cursed: "What a bastard, disturbing your dreams in the middle of the night!"
When Jingqian heard this, he turned around and pointed his knife at the tent: "The one the wolf is eating is your father, Ma Jingqian!"
Di Qi from the camp put on some clothes and came out with a grin. Everyone said that the captain never uttered any curse words, which was really a rare thing.
Jing Gan turned his face horizontally and pointed the blade at Di Qi.
Di Qi fell in love with the knife at a glance, and touched the knife without looking at Jing Qian's face.
Chapter completed!
