Everyone in Qingniu Mountain was in danger that night. Everyone felt like there was a knife hanging above their heads, and they didn't know when it would fall.
"Brother, I've added two more posts in the back mountain. Let the brothers take turns on duty tonight." Gao Feibao came in from outside.
"Let the brothers be smarter today, and copy my guy whenever there is any trouble." When he said this, Gao Feihu subconsciously touched the back of his head. Ever since he saw the tragic scene of Zhujiazhai being massacred today, he had
This habit.
After returning to the village, he immediately stepped up his vigilance, but even so, he was still a little uneasy, fearing that someone might chop off his head with a knife when he fell asleep in the middle of the night.
"Military advisor, what do you think? Are there any other oversights?" Gao Feihu asked Yu Qiuran.
"The boss has made such an arrangement, so there shouldn't be anything wrong. He's just telling everyone to be careful. As long as they can survive these three days, everything should be fine by the time they pass by the foot of the mountain."
Gao Feihu naturally knew who "they" were in Yu Qiuran's mouth. He sat slumped on the chair and said: "I originally wanted to rob these birthday gifts. Brothers have spent this winter steadily. Who would have thought that Lu
Humph, he was so ruthless and slaughtered Zhujiazhai with blood. Fortunately, he attacked Zhujiazhai. If he had attacked our Feihu Village, I would have lost my head now."
Having said this, he touched the back of his head again, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What's the news from Cheng Dalei?"
"Hey, brother, please don't mention him. That kid was so frightened that he fell ill when he returned to the mountain. Now he is still confinement in bed like a girl." Gao Feibao said with disdain.
"Well, after all, I'm too young. If I've ever seen such a tragic situation, it's because Lu Heng was too cruel. Don't talk about him, I was also scared today." Gao Feihu said and touched the back of his head again, feeling a chill there.
It's cold, and I'm destined to have insomnia tonight.
…
Toad Village.
After Li Xingzai came back, he also told Li Waner what happened in Zhujiazhai. After hearing this, Li Waner remained silent for a long time and then said slowly: "Even killing children, even though he is a bandit, Lu Heng's actions are too extraordinary."
Li Xingzai sighed: "I heard people say in the past that hundreds of thousands of people died in a battle. But today I realized that killing people is really not a fun thing."
"Brother, let's find an opportunity to leave. It's not very safe here now." Li Waner.
"Well, when we leave, let's leave quietly without disturbing them." Li Xingzai said.
"Hey, we're chatting, haven't you slept yet?"
At this moment, the door opened and Cheng Dalei walked in. Li Xingzai and Li Xingzai were shocked, and they didn't know if he heard the conversation just now.
"Master, I heard you were sick, why did you come here?" Li Waner saw that Cheng Dalei's face was still a little pale.
"It's not too serious if I catch a little cold." Cheng Dalei sat down on the kang and said to Li Xingzai, "I still want to talk to you."
"What are we talking about today?" Li Xingzai.
"Let's talk about the past of the empire. Just talk casually."
After more than ten days of communication, Cheng Dalei already had a vague impression of the locations of the 108 cities in the thirteen states of the empire. What he had learned from Li Xingzai in the past few days was the history of the empire.
Li Waner turned on the wick, and under the lamp Li Xingzai talked eloquently about the three thousand years of history of the empire. Cheng Dalei carefully remembered it in his heart.
When he first came to this world, it can be said that Cheng Dalei had a dark eye on this world, and he didn't know that today's history could correspond to that period in his previous life. Now, after listening to Li Xingzai talk so much, he finally has a sense of this world.
A vague impression.
This world is the same as Cheng Dalei's previous life. Pangu created the sky, Nuwa created humans, then the three emperors ruled the world, and the five emperors established their relationships. After that, the five hegemons of Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn were in chaos, until the unification of Qin, the struggle between Chu and Han for hegemony, and the founding of the Han Dynasty for 400 years.
Year, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, Shi Changshi's rebellion, Dong Zhuo's chaos...
It was at this time that history went awry. Cao Cao was named, but he was caught and killed when he assassinated Dong Zhuo, and did not cause much splash in history.
Therefore, there was no longer the Three Kingdoms fighting for hegemony, but instead... the Nineteen Kingdoms were divided and competed for the world.
Some of the names of famous people or generals that Cheng Dalei was familiar with were there, and some were not. For example, there was no Wuhou Zhuge, no Liu Guanzhang, no five tiger generals of Cao Wei... no Zhao Yun and Diao Chan.
Then history became a mess, with the Nineteen Kingdoms constantly in conflict, fighting, fighting, and fighting, followed by dead people, dead people, and non-stop dead people... until the founding of the country by Dawu, until now.
Cheng Dalei deduced based on the time that this almost corresponded to the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the previous life, but in fact it didn't match up. The history was a mess and the geographical location was also full of errors.
"...Although the Rong tribe was driven out in the end, they have continued to invade the border over the years and there has been constant friction." Li Xingzai was eloquent and talked endlessly. As he talked, he talked about the battle of the Rong tribe's invasion thirty years ago.
.
"How much military expenditure does the empire invest in the border army every year, but it still suffers repeated defeats, and the defeat is a complete mess. Brother, you said that we have been fighting against the Rong tribe for so many years, but why can't we win." Li Waner said with emotion.
"It's not like the generals of the border army are just a bunch of losers who only know how to line their own pockets and do nothing in the military!" When he said this, Li Xingzai looked extremely angry.
Cheng Dalei looked over: "Why are you so angry?"
"Ha, it's just based on my feelings. In the battles with the Rong tribe in the past few years, it can be said that I have lost ten of them in ten battles. Moreover, I have falsely reported my military merits. Hundreds of people died in a battle. Instead, I have to report to the empire that I have killed five enemies.
Ten... In this way, there are more and more victories, but the combat effectiveness of the frontier army is getting lower and lower." Li Xingzai said and glanced at Cheng Dalei: "Master, in your opinion, the battle between the empire and the Rong tribe,
How can the Empire win?”
Cheng Dalei sneezed: "How do I know? I'm just a bandit."
Li Xingzai said: "Someone once said to me that the world's armies can be divided into three levels. The lowest level fights for survival. Every soldier only cares about his own life and will scatter as soon as he encounters the enemy; the second level fights for profit.
When fighting, when you win a battle, your morale is like a rainbow, but once you encounter a defeat, you will feel panic. The first thing you should do is fight for glory, and be proud of dying on the battlefield. That is the real elite division."
"Are these words meant for you?" Cheng Dalei said suddenly.
"Uh..." Li Xingzai raised his head and saw Cheng Dalei looking at him with bright eyes: "Just an old man."
"So are you sure he's not deceiving you?" Cheng Dalei asked seriously.
"..." Li Xingzai was speechless again. How could he tell Cheng Dalei that the person who said these words to him was the current Marshal of the Empire.
