After leaving Changting County, the fleet followed the wind and sailed quickly. The big sails, filled with wind, pushed the ship through the water waves and sailed forward steadily.
When they were still two hundred miles away from Cangzhou, Liu Ling ordered the ship to dock.
Leaving Zhao Da on the boat, Liu Ling took fifty supervisors, Xu Sheng, and Mr. Nie who had been curious to learn about Liu Ling along the way. The big boat carried war horses. Although not many, it was enough for these five people.
More than ten people rode. Liu Ling left the Black Panther on the boat and rode the Teller's Red Lion on the road with the others.
When the red lion got off the boat, he snorted at the enemy very arrogantly, which seemed to be provoking and showing off. Liu Ling had been riding a black panther in the past few days, which made the red lion a little jealous.
.The black panther finally saw land, jumped down and stuck to Liu Ling's side, refusing to leave.
Liu Ling didn't bring him to break the enemy because he was afraid of exposing his identity. But think about it, there is no human habitation within a hundred miles of Cangzhou. The Khitan wolf cavalry has been surrounding Cangzhou for more than ten days, and all the people who could escape have long since disappeared.
.Furthermore, no one among the common people will provide intelligence to the Khitan people. As for the enemy's scouts, dodge them if you can. If you can't, then kill them. When the enemy is around, killing people will be easier.
Seeing through the enemy's aggrieved look, his expression was very humane. Liu Ling smiled and said, "If you want to follow, just follow. Don't run around."
Po Di rubbed its huge head against Liu Ling's body, acting as obedient as a cat.
"Would you like to ride on it and try it?"
Liu Ling asked Nie She.
Nie She glanced at Po Enemy, then at the Red Lion, and jumped on the horse without saying a word, ignoring Liu Ling's provocative eyes. The Red Lion had never been ridden by a stranger, so he was very disgusted with this man in white.
Ruoxue's guy behaved so rudely. The red lion shaped like fire immediately became violent, but was suppressed by Nie She and could not jump up. Liu Ling walked over and patted the red lion's head and said: "He is me
My friend, please feel aggrieved."
As expected, the red lion calmed down, but he still looked very unhappy. Liu Ling looked at Nie She and laughed and said, "You need to use communication, do you understand?"
As if Liu Ling was stunned, Nie She urged the red lion to run out first. Liu Ling laughed, mounted a black panther to defeat the enemy, and set off in the direction of Cangzhou with fifty supervisors in black. After they set off
, the big ship started to move slowly, and after traveling for about a hundred miles, Zhao Da followed Liu Ling's instructions and docked the ship on the shore, no longer approaching Cangzhou.
Both Liu Ling and Zhao Da knew that the arrival of the fleet could not be concealed. Since Yeluji wanted to attract a few big shots from the Central Plains, he must have kept a close surveillance on the surrounding areas of Cangzhou. Of course, if the surveillance arrived
A hundred miles away, the effect is almost zero. The role of scouts is not omnipotent. Furthermore, how many scouts are needed to monitor a hundred miles range?
The Oversight Council has always been careful in its work. After careful consideration, Baili was determined as a dividing point. The big ship parked there, somewhat ostentatious, waiting for the Khitan scouts to find it. As for the distance of Baili, it would be reported after the scouts found it, and then to
Yeluji took action, and Liu Ling and his party had arrived not far from Cangzhou. In fact, everyone under Liu Ling, including Zhao Da, was opposed to this plan. But this time Liu Ling fully fulfilled the four words of going his own way.
, his attitude is very firm. He is the prince, he is the leader, and in the end, he has the final say.
Zhao Da said: "The prince has said before that he will not enter Cangzhou City. How can the prince go back on his words?"
He used Liu Ling's words to block Liu Ling. Obviously, he was destined to fail.
Liu Ling said seriously: "The prince is also a human being, and the prince does not keep his words, and no one can control him."
Therefore, Liu Ling set out with only fifty-one subordinates, plus the unparalleled Master Nie.
Even if Mr. Nie is by Liu Ling's side, Zhao Da is still worried. Even if the strongest swordsman in the world is used, what's the use among thousands of troops? Under thousands of feathers and arrows, not to mention the swordsman, even if he is an immortal
, I am afraid that he will also be shot into the mortal world. But he has to listen to Liu Ling's orders. Every minute on the big ship is torture for those who stay behind. Whether Zhao Da or those elite soldiers, their
Their ideals in life and their future are all pinned on the prince. The prince is their god. If anything happens to the prince, their lives will end.
The black panther happily ran ahead of the enemy, and the only one who could keep up with its speed was the red lion. Every time these two guys came out together, no one was convinced by the other, especially in terms of speed. The red lion had no opponent before.
Now that it encountered a stranger, it aroused its competitive spirit even more. If it weren't for the fear of leaving the supervisory guards behind too far, Liu Ling and Nie She would have disappeared long ago.
"What a fine war horse!"
Nie She couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
He glanced at the black panther where Liu Ling was sitting, and couldn't help but sigh again: "What a big black-haired beast!"
In Liu Ling's eyes, Nie She's first impression of him was that of being cold and proud, but as the two became more and more familiar with each other, he discovered that Mr. Nie was not as cold and cold as he seemed on the surface. Liu Ling discovered
Mr. Nie is a very complicated person, especially in terms of his personality. When he is cheerful, he is like the sunshine in spring, but most of the time, he is as cold as the haze of winter snow.
Liu Ling knew that this was due to the huge gap in personality caused by Nie She's hallucinations. If it had been anyone else, he would have already suffered a mental breakdown.
While walking through the wilderness, Black Panther took the time to kill a lone wolf. He threw the rather strong wolf corpse aside with disdain, and roared demonstratively at the red lion. Although the red lion
It is not afraid of wild beasts, but it is indeed not as good as the black panther when it comes to killing wolves. It has no choice but to snort at the provocation of the black panther, not knowing what it means.
The black panther gained the upper hand and jumped more solidly. However, after running for twenty or thirty miles, the black panther's lack of endurance gradually became apparent. At first they were running in tandem, but later the red lion was firmly in the lead. Now
, it was Nie She's turn to feel depressed about the big black-haired beast in his mouth.
There was no rush to enter Cangzhou, so Liu Ling ordered his troops to rest. The people of the Supervisory Council skillfully arranged defenses, secret posts, and patrol posts. Liu Ling, Nie She, and Xu Sheng found a place to sit down under a big tree. Not far away, there was
There was a small stream, and both the Black Panther and the Red Lion went to the stream to draw water. The other war horses were drinking water far away, and seemed reluctant to get close to the Black Panther.
Nie She was a little surprised by Liu Ling's rash behavior. He seemed to be particularly interested in Liu Ling. Perhaps because he was the only one who knew Liu Ling's true identity, he was always interested in Liu Ling's every move.
Curiosity. He just wanted to know and understand what a person from the future would be like. He just wanted to understand and would not interfere with any of Liu Ling's decisions. Just like on the ship, Liu Ling ordered the massacre of the water thieves
At that time, he was obviously disgusted with the killing, but he did not stop it.
He had seen that hallucination, and he knew that all the hallucinations he had seen were real. So he firmly believed that Liu Ling could create that world.
In his illusion, the world is peaceful, happy and prosperous.
He just wanted to see with his own eyes how Liu Ling did it.
Seeing a person create miracles with your own eyes is something to be proud of, isn't it?
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Nie She asked Liu Ling.
Liu Ling signaled Xu Sheng to bring over the kettle. After Xu Sheng left, he asked Nie She: "Am I dead in the future you see?"
Nie Shedao: "At least you won't die before the end of the troubled times."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "That's fine, what else am I afraid of? With a great prophet by my side, there are no taboos."
Nie She suddenly became very angry, very angry.
"Just because of this? How dare you come out rashly with fifty people? How dare you run to Cangzhou to face the Khitan army of 300,000 people? How dare you believe that you will not die? How can you be so rash! If you die
,Who in the world will save me!"
Liu Ling smiled calmly and said: "If I die, it means that the fantasy you saw is unreal. Then... you don't have to worry. For you, it is a good thing."
Nie She glared at Liu Ling fiercely and said, "You are an idiot!"
Liu Ling nodded: "Yes, he has always been an idiot and has never been surpassed."
"When you go to Cangzhou, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"
"No"
"Then what are you going to do!"
"Go and take a look. If you don't take a look, how can you come up with a solution?"
"idiot!"
"Thanks!"
"Shameless!"
"Thanks."
Liu Ling finally handed the kettle that Xu Sheng handed over to Nie She, but Nie She simply ignored him. Liu Ling chuckled, drank half of the kettle of water, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "There are some things that you know very well."
It's dangerous but I still have to do it. If this is the definition of idiot, then I admit that I have always been an idiot."
He leaned against the big tree, looked at the lush branches and said: "From the time I first led the army twelve years ago, everything I did was done even though I knew it was dangerous.
For example... on that Mid-Autumn Festival night, I slapped the prince Liu Zheng. For example... I helped the late emperor ascend the throne."
He smiled, a little bitterly.
"Since ancient times, there has never been a good outcome between powerful ministers and emperors. Either the minister's achievements are so great that the master plots to kill the master, or the master is suspicious of the minister and finally executes the minister. I already know that,
Second brother will change when he becomes emperor, but he still did it."
Liu Ling did not shy away from Xu Sheng when he said this, and it was also the first time he commented on Jiafeng Emperor Liu Zhuo.
If Xu Sheng were a smart man, he would choose to shut up, leave, ignore and pretend not to hear anything. But obviously, in his eyes, the dead Emperor Xiao was not very worthy.
He respects.
"The prince...should have ascended the throne back then."
He expressed his thoughts directly.
Liu Ling did not blame Xu Sheng, but explained with a smile: "Actually, being an emperor is not a good thing."
He pointed at the red lion in the distance and said: "Being an emperor will have many constraints. For example, when I took the Shura camp to kill the party members on the grassland in the west, I would never be able to do it if I became an emperor.
I am good at killing the enemy in battle. I am not good at being an emperor. It was the most suitable choice to help the second brother sit in that position. First of all, his temperament is calm and cautious, and it is undeniable that the second brother is the best in history.
The most diligent emperor. If it were me, facing tens of thousands of memorials every day, I might have a headache, right?"
Nie She nodded and said seriously: "You are an idiot, a very lazy idiot."
Well, Mr. Nie summed up Liu Ling’s past and future in five words. (To be continued)
