Chapter 1149： Rumors are stronger than tigers

Chapter 1149 Rumors are stronger than tigers

Jiang Cheng shook his head repeatedly and said, "Master Marquis, please give me two more days. No matter how urgent you are, you still need this little effort! Moreover, the barbarians are at the end of their game and are barely surviving. As long as we push forward, they will definitely collapse and completely retreat to the grassland..."

Li Laosi patted him on the shoulder, interrupted his words, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, stop nagging. The Marquis is also the leader of the battle when he goes on an expedition. I lead the vanguard battalion, how can I tire the Marquis?"

Hold on waiting for us to come back. Today is a test, and we will have to gather together to discuss matters in the evening. "

Jiang Cheng didn’t say anything. He sighed and stepped forward to help Wei Erniu...

Soon, Li Laosi led two thousand people from the Pioneer Battalion and rushed out of the camp first.

The Marquis was dressed in golden armor, sitting high on his horse, with a sword hanging on his side. He followed with two thousand soldiers to help the vanguard camp plunder the formation.

The soldiers in the whole camp saw this and breathed a long sigh of relief.

There is no secret that can be kept in the world!

Although a silence order was issued, too many people saw that the Marquis was hit by an arrow.

No matter how much precautions were taken, the news slowly spread in the camp.

The thing that is scary about people's words is that when a thing passes through different people's mouths, they will add their own understanding and ideas, and it gradually changes its appearance.

In the end, a cat is said to be a tiger.

Sometimes, a cat may turn into a man, doting on his concubine and destroying his wife. The wife eventually remarries the leader of the Tiger Gang, and then the man is chopped into pieces!

Maybe it’s an exaggeration, but it definitely doesn’t happen.

In the past few days, there has been a temporary truce in the camp. The soldiers and generals have nothing else to do except training and patrolling, so their heads have been given space to use.

Some people said that the general had an arm cut off, some said that the Marquis was not injured at all, and this was to confuse the enemy. Of course, some people said... the Marquis died in the battle!

Now, the Marquis is on the expedition in good condition, and all rumors are instantly shattered!

Tianwu’s God of War is still there, and the Bei Zhengjun’s Dinghai Shenzhen has not fallen!

This is more important than anything else!

As a result, the patrolling soldiers raised their heads and chests, becoming more and more proud, and the training soldiers worked harder and harder.

Even the chefs in the cooking camp scooped up two extra ladles of rice noodles and poured them into the pot!

Li Laosi has always been brave and invincible. In the Northern Expedition Army, he had long overshadowed the Marquis.

The vanguard army is most willing to follow him out to fight, not for anything else but for the pleasure.

No matter how many barbarians you encounter, they are just like chopping melons and vegetables!

Speaking of it, the fifth prince of the barbarians was unlucky. If the marquis had not been injured last time, he would have been hung on a pole to dry by now.

In the past few days, the old man king was restricted by him. After that, he had been frightened, and he couldn't bear to find out to find out.

Li Laosi and his men approached the border gate for fifty miles, and even looked at the wall of the border gate from a distance, when they met the fifth prince and 500 barbarians.

It’s not that the fifth prince didn’t want to bring in more men. In fact, after so many years of fighting with Tianwu, all the grassland subjects who were originally pitiful had died.

Otherwise, how could they have allowed the Northern Expedition Army to call a truce in the past few days? They would have been knocking on the door a long time ago.

It will take at least half a month to mobilize reinforcements from deep in the grassland!

Li Laosi was so happy that he was hunting rabbits in the grass. He was so lucky.

With a single order, the vanguard army rushed over.

The fifth prince was not really careless. It was obvious that the people on his side would suffer less, so he turned around and ran away.

The vanguard army was like a cat chasing a mouse, intercepting them left and right, and followed behind them, killing one after another. Finally, the fifth prince ran away with more than a dozen people.

Jia Dun swung his riding whip angrily and shouted, "Let this kid run away again!"

Another captain who was friends with him rolled his eyes and cursed, "Idiot! The general let this kid go on purpose!"

"Ah!" Jia Dun couldn't understand, "Why, why didn't you kill him?"

Li Laosi swung the reins, slapped him lightly, and said with a smile, "If all your children and grandchildren were killed by the enemy, would you go all out and fight for revenge?

If you have a grandson left by your side, and the soldiers on the opposite side are pressing down on the border, do you just think that the green hills are still there, so you are not afraid of running out of firewood, and the most important thing is to take a step back to preserve your bloodline? ”Jia Dun blinked twice, as if he understood.

The captain couldn't see it, so he had to explain it to him.

“We have been marching north for so many years, and we are about to drive the barbarians out of the border. Victory is in sight.

Neither the marquis nor the general wanted to suffer too many casualties, so they left a prince for the Khan. He would only retreat to the grassland if he had any scruples. Instead of overwhelming everyone and fighting to the death with us! "

Jia Dun was unconvinced and retorted, "It's impossible. All the troops were killed in the battle. What will happen to the grassland in the future? King Khan will definitely not do this!"

“King Khan’s whole family is dead, so he doesn’t care about the grassland. Maybe he will be reborn as a Tianwu people in his next life!” Li Laosi added, which made the surrounding soldiers laugh.

After the battlefield was cleaned up, the Marquis also arrived with his team.

The surrounding terrain has been surveyed a long time ago, and the Marquis knew it well. Now he said, "How is it? Have you found anything new?"

Li Laosi told the story of the fifth prince's escape, and finally pulled out a bag of dry food that had been torn off the corpse of a barbarian, and said, "Master Marquis, the barbarians have nothing to eat! These people are following the fifth prince, and they are better than ordinary people." The food for the soldiers and slaves is good, but it’s just grass seed powder and no dried meat!”

After the Marquis looked at it carefully, he also nodded.

“In the past ten years, although we in Tianwu have retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, we have high-yield grains and our national strength has not declined. On the contrary, we have recuperated and become much stronger.

“It’s true that the barbarians have occupied the north of the Yangtze River. They don’t know how to grow crops and produce food, and most of the people are here to enjoy themselves. There is no one to graze cattle and sheep on the grassland.

“One thing goes up and the other goes down, so it’s not surprising that things are happening now.

"Go back, discuss matters at night, and try to drive the barbarians out of the pass for a hundred miles in one go. Eliminate as many barbarians as possible, so that they will not be able to recover in twenty years, and to ensure that Tianwu is safe for twenty years!"

Li Laosi responded, "I hope so, that is..."

There were many people around, so it was difficult for him to explain clearly, but he still asked, "Even if that person is not found, he is always a hidden danger. Do you want to wait a little longer..."

"We can't wait any longer. The opportunity is fleeting." The Marquis waved his hands and looked at the distant border with a deep and persistent gaze.

"That person was targeting me. Even if something really happened, it was only me. Compared with the ten years of the Northern Expedition and the imminent recovery of the mountains and rivers, my own safety is nothing to worry about!"

Li Laosi still wanted to persuade him, but in the end he swallowed his words.

The Marquis treats him like a brother and has great trust in him.

But whatever the Marquis decides, once he says it, it will never change.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of his daughter.

If my daughter were here, she would definitely make the Marquis change his mind.

pity…

As soon as everyone returned to the camp, Ye Shan brought news about Xindu.

The Queen has passed away!

Li Laosi sighed at that time, he had no reason to persuade the Marquis anymore.

Since the man in the palace has released the news of the queen's death, it means that he has done everything he wanted to do.

After the Queen’s funeral, the first one to bear the brunt was definitely the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Whether it's through underhanded assassination or blatantly seizing power and credit, it's all extremely troublesome.

Now, the best response is to do nothing without stopping, immediately drive the barbarians out of the border and end the Northern Expedition!

“Dong! Dong! Dong!” The dull gathering drum sounded, and the lights in the main tent were brightly lit!
