Chapter 1581 Under the afterglow, people travel far away
"Although I had expected it, when I actually saw it, it was still a little hard to accept..."
Outside Chengdu, in an unknown villa somewhere, a group of people were gathered at the entrance of the manor——
Outside the manor was a team of baggage trains ready to go. The expressions on each of their faces were a bit indescribable. They probably had the same feeling as Ma Dai who saw the situation inside the manor, right?
"Liu Zhang...how much military rations has he embezzled over the years?"
"But this...isn't this too strange?
They are obviously his own troops... If he deducts rations from his own army, isn't he digging a hole for himself?"
Zhen Luo couldn't understand Liu Zhang's behavior...
Diao Chan was busy counting on the side - "This batch totals two thousand stones, okay, no problem, brother, you can set off!"
"Well...Thank you Miss Biyue...Brothers! Let's set off on our journey! We must go out of the hundred miles before dark!"
The person shouting was a certain captain of the baggage team. Judging from his dark skin and rough face, it was not difficult to guess that he should be a farmer farming in the farmland on weekdays. Most of the baggage team made up the majority of people like him.
, usually go home and farm when there is no war. How can the government, especially people like Liu Zhang, support a group of idlers like them?
When it comes to wartime, we have to push carts and pull oxcarts into battle to transport military rations and equipment to the front line...
But despite the fact that the corps commander was shouting so excitedly just now, in fact he was just trying to keep his spirits up.
Anyone who sees the extremely wealthy scene in the manor will become depressed, right?
They were working for such a guy before, working for such a guy who didn't care about the life and death of the people.
In fact, Cai Zhaoji sees this very clearly.
They are not the same type of people as Liu Zhang from beginning to end. The reason why they cooperate with Liu Zhang is just for the future development of Yizhou. I believe that if Yi Xiaotian were here, he would despise Liu Zhang in terms of personality.
"Don't worry about this kind of thing now."
Pang Xi walked up to him with a calm face and said to everyone.
"After all the dust settles, Liu Zhang will get the justice he deserves. At the moment, we still have to work together to get through the difficulties first."
"Now it seems that with this food and grass, General Zhang and the others are definitely enough to survive this autumn. As long as Liu Bei and the others can be held back, neither Sun Quan in the east of the Yangtze River nor Cao Cao in the north will let go of this good man who is attacking Jingnan.
Opportunity."
Pang Xi's strategic vision is still good. He learned that Sun Quan and Liu Bei had just experienced a big battle in Jiangdong. Although Liu Bei's desperate surprise attack on Yizhou did catch them off guard, when Jiangdong and Cao Cao in the north recovered, they
Will definitely take action.
Pang Xi's primary goal is to survive until that time without defeating Liu Bei...
"So, in addition to looking at Ma Dai's performance this time... Brother Ma, your new weapon must show its ability to defeat a hundred!"
He turned his head and looked at Ma Jun, who had been silent all the time - in fact, most people had ignored the other soul figure who came to Luo County's aid this time, Ma Jun... His invention was silently developing from the beginning.
play a role.
And this time, it was his chance to make a splash.
"Don't count on me. I'm pretty good at making farm tools, but when it comes to making new weapons, the gap between me and the boss is like a galaxy..."
"...Brother Ma, you've been talking for a whole day, who is this shop owner?"
"Huang Yueying, the daughter of Huang Chengyan in Xiangyang, is also the owner of the craftsman's workshop in our villa. The one you have in your hand is just a slight improvement on the owner's invention. I did not invent this
The ability of things.”
"Female...female again?"
"how?
Do you have any opinion?"
Upon hearing that Pang Xi seemed to be complaining, everyone in Youjian Villa gathered around him, and Pang Xi was so frightened that he quickly explained:
"No, no, no... I didn't mean that... I just sighed... Ujian Villa is really... it's really a place where women are prosperous... ah hahaha——"
Having said that, after Pang Xi learned about Huang Yueying, he couldn't help but have two doubts about Yi Xiaotian, the legendary owner of Youjian Villa.
One is, of course, where did Yi Xiaotian find so many talented women and beauties with their own unique skills...
In addition...he also had some doubts about Yi Xiaotian's own hobbies...
Is this gentleman whom everyone calls the co-author actually a libertine who is addicted to women?
——
"Okay, don't give it away."
In the evening of that day, before the sun had set, after seeing off the last batch of baggage teams, Ma Dai led the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion to get ready for departure.
Logically speaking, they should have set off first, but considering that the enemy had already figured out their baggage route, Pang Xi deliberately rearranged the food transport route and arranged for Ma Dai to set off last to protect the main force transporting food.
Ma Dai had no complaints about this, but since the arrangements were made to the end, the night march could not be delayed for a moment.
"Ma Dai, remember, don't rush into anything to gain credit. No one is allowed to..." before you meet your husband.
"Don't worry, eldest sister, who am I - Deheng, I'm going to go right now, you remember to take care of my sisters while I'm away."
"Yeah, I'll try my best."
Ma Jun nodded dullly, but it was not because he lacked confidence, but because he felt the weight of this trust, which was a promise between men.
"Although it is a little unlucky to say this, Pang Pang...if there is no good news from the front line in three days, please be prepared to flee Chengdu."
"I see…"
Pang Xi also nodded.
What Ma Dai said is very realistic. There is never a guarantee of victory when they rush to rescue, and whether they will succeed or fail is still unknown to this day.
Pang Xi is now very close to them and can be regarded as their ally in Yizhou. Ma Dai went on this trip with a view to death, saying that he wanted Pang Xi and others to be prepared, but where could they escape to?
If Chengdu is really broken, everyone will just wait to die - no one can say this.
Facing the setting sun, Ma Dai waved behind him and led the brothers from Shenjian Camp out of Chengdu.
Cai Zhaoji kept looking at Ma Dai's back from a distance, probably praying for something in her heart.
Everyone walking together was silent, and everyone's mood was like the afterglow of the setting sun. Although it was bright, it was inevitably cast into shadows.
Again, the situation is not optimistic.
——
At the same time, when Ma Dai went to help Luo County and resist Liu Bei's army.
In Yuexun County, near Gufu City, Yong Kai's scouts finally encountered Meng Huo's army's spies.
The first battle was successful, but Meng Huojun's spies suffered heavy casualties and only one person escaped.
Of course, he also brought back valuable information...
At this moment, those sitting in the tent were Meng Huo, Zhu Ronghuan, Yi Xiaotian, Zhu Rongshuang and several others. Next to them were Ah Hui Nan Mai Yi Mi and other subordinate generals. Everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.
