Four hundred and thirtieth eight chapters why the war
Everyone will have different thoughts and moods at different stages.
No one changes without reason, and no one stays the same forever.
When the dark clouds in the distant fields cleared away, and the sky above Taoren City swept away the haze of the previous few days, ushering in a grand sunrise, the embers in the entire city gradually extinguished. The soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were cleaning up the streets.
They carried the corpses and buried the corpses of the Northern Wei sergeants outside the city. As for the corpses of the Southern Dynasty sergeants that gradually piled up, no one knew what to do with them.
The news that Xiao Donghuang was seriously injured and dying could not be concealed. Even though the military information about the great victory in Sicheng had been reported, the gloom in the hearts of Xiao Donghuang's subordinates became thicker.
Much later, most of the Tiece Army on the march received the latest military information from the front.
Wei Guanxing did not hold the highest rank among the Iron Ce Army, but any confidential documents naturally came into his hands immediately.
Everyone knows that, except for Lin Yi, he is actually the top general of this iron strategy army.
The fall of Taoren City was something that Lin Yi, Qi Zhuji and others had long foreseen, but for the troops further back like them, there were not many signs.
The continuous losses of Taoren City and Sicheng were a huge psychological shock even to a general like Wei Guanxing.
According to normal military command methods, any military situation that is too unfavorable will be covered up to prevent the military from being distracted and unable to restrain it.
It's just that Wei Guanxing has never been a general who follows the rules, and this is not the method he likes to unite the army.
When the Tiece Army stopped to rest as usual, he calmly and clearly told all the Tiece Army sergeants the latest military information without any modification, and then informed them in the same calm tone.
He still wanted to take them to Zhongli next, and then he began to directly explain the reasons.
"To die for some slogans that can be immortalized in history will always be foolish and ridiculous in my opinion."
He looked at these ugly-looking sergeants and said in a slow but powerful voice: "I managed to become the general of your iron policy army, firstly because Lin Yi is the most bold and unconventional I have ever seen.
A qualified general, perhaps because he is destined to be a very accomplished practitioner, so he doesn’t care much about promotion. But the other most important reason is that, like me, he doesn’t think that some people
Life is valuable, but some people’s lives are not.”
"So for an old frontier soldier like me, even if the senior military officials are more unhappy with me, I will still find some ways to prevent my men from dying."
Wei Guanxing smiled self-deprecatingly, "For you, things like honor should not be compared with marrying a sweet wife, having fat boys, and living a peaceful life. If it were not forced by the situation, you should also
I won’t lick blood from the edge of Tiece’s sword, but for a practitioner like me, there will of course be more choices. Even if I leave now, I should be able to live a good life, at least anonymously, doing
There is nothing wrong with being a rich gentry in the country. So for a practitioner like me, staying in the army is somewhat of a pursuit."
"I used to think about practicing in the army, thinking that with my own abilities I could make some changes in the world, at least change the course of some wars. Later, it became simpler, revenge, not letting the enemy kill wantonly, and
That is, with my temperament, if the Northern Wei Dynasty really comes and they are so arrogant that they don't take us Southern Dynasties seriously and have the final say in everything, I may not be able to bear it even if I want to."
"In the world of practitioners, there are also many practitioners who are so-called secluded masters. They just practice in the practice place. It's a pity that their stability and superiority are also produced by the frontline army. If our frontline army is completely defeated,
The Southern Dynasty is gone, and both the north and the south have become Wei. Then these practitioners have only two choices, either to draw their swords and do it, or to tuck their tail between their legs and bow their heads."
"Everyone has a different way of living. When I was a child, I never imagined that I would become such a general. I am afraid that most of you would not imagine that you would become such a sergeant of the Iron Army. But everyone has his own
At this stage, since you are the soldiers and I am the general, what we have to do is to fight and see if we can win the war."
Wei Guanxing, just like before when he was commanding the frontier army, said whatever came to his mind. He did not even deliberately think about the logic before and after, and whether these words had any meaning or whether they could have good effects.
In his opinion, the most sincere emotions and words from nature should be the most touching.
The Tie Ce army in front of him naturally became quiet.
"I'm afraid any of you now think that we have no chance of winning when we go to Zhongli City, but I really don't think so. I have confidence in a person. The military situation is not yet available, but you know that I am fairly well-informed in the border army.
I know that someone is leading an army towards Zhongli. If it weren’t for that general, I probably wouldn’t have chosen to go to Zhongli now. But because I know how powerful that person is, I wonder if I can guard Zhongli before he arrives, so that he
When the army arrives, our many important fortresses may be able to block the army of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying here in one fell swoop, and then counterattack."
"Perhaps many of us will die, and maybe I will die too. But I think it is appropriate for me to choose to do such a thing at this time. Of course, what also makes me confident is that there are many practitioners in our Iron Ce Army. Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan
Although most of us have a lot of practitioners, we may not have much advantage after going through so many battles."
"I'm done."
Wei Guanxing looked at everyone calmly and said: "If you want to go to Zhongli with me, just go ahead. If you think it's inappropriate, you can go home. There won't be any problems."
The whole process was very calm, and even after he finished speaking, there was no ripple in the entire procession.
No one left.
Wei Guanxing turned around. He didn't say anything stupid like I'm proud of you. His eyes fell on one of the carriages in the team.
That carriage contained a Soaring Serpent heavy armor.
The voice that sounded in his heart now was, Lin Yi, please don't die.
In his mind, an extremely special practitioner like Lin Yi was also an important part of being able to protect Zhongli.
At the end of the procession, there were several carriages whose doors were always closed and their curtains were hung.
Shortly after Wei Guanxing finished speaking to these Tiecei Army sergeants, Wang Pingyang walked out of one of the carriages as usual. He poured some treated medicinal residues and sewage into the pond beside the road, and then took some
He took some water and returned to the carriage where the unconscious medical officer was placed.
The medical officer was still unconscious and seemed to have lost some weight.
However, when Wang Pingyang wiped some thick sores on his body caused by dampness, heat and imbalance of internal energy with clean water, Wang Pingyang's eyes had a strange light.
The medical officer's forehead was obviously hotter than usual.
