Shen Tang's experiences along the way are not unique.
The other two groups of the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces also encountered the same situation, and half of Yanzhou's effective forces were transferred away. All that was left to the Union forces were land that could not be moved, burned buildings, and the old and the weak who were holding them back. Dealing with the old and the weak became a problem.
There is a shortage of food everywhere.
The Alliance Army also had a hard time fighting.
Taking care of these old and weak people, they can only wait to be dragged down.
Unlike Shen Tang, they did not work hard and rest for four years, and they had more or less saved a fortune. Shen Tang had the confidence to insist on his kindness, but they had no choice. Even though the choice is very difficult, I can only cruelly choose to abandon it.
Those who still have enough energy can be given a few days of solid food to make a living. Life or death depends on God's will; those who are powerless can only choose to stay out of sight. But people always have to keep their eyes open to look at the road. Does it mean that some pictures can disappear if they cannot be seen?
The three soldiers and horses are in different places, but their moods are highly consistent.
Gu Ren has the help of his Yue family and a group of brothers who are very sincere and sincere. He is quite wealthy among the coalition forces. Evening out some food and grass will not hurt his vitality. This matter was also left to the twelfth brother Chao Lian and the thirteenth brother Shaochong, so as to gain some reputation for them.
It was only within two days that he discovered that Shaochong was depressed.
I usually eat two buckets in one meal, but now I can't even eat half a bucket.
"Thirteen, but someone bullied you?" Even though Shaochong's mind gradually recovered, Gu Ren still used to treat him as a child. Children will become depressed if they are bullied outside.
Shaochong sat sulking, with unused food in front of him. Gu Ren gently advised him to eat two more bites: "Thirteen is still growing. Only by eating more can you grow taller." Only a strong man can win the battle for his elder brother. Do you think this is true?"
Shaochong pursed his lips and resisted silently.
Gu Ren had to go to his twelfth brother to understand the situation.
Chao Lian knew what Shaochong was thinking: "Brother, Thirteen feels that he has eaten too much and wants to eat some."
Gu Ren knew the crux of the problem as soon as he heard it.
Ask: "What did Shisan see when I went out with you?"
Chao Lian punched the ground with his fist and confided everything.
Things were not complicated at all. That day, the brothers went out and saw an old man crawling tremblingly toward half of a coffin in a ruins that was mostly burned and the remaining half was crumbling. It was said to be half a pair, because most of the coffin was also burned.
The old man crawled in and lay down, motionless.
Shaochong gave the old man the food he brought with him.
The old man weakly raised his hand to refuse.
【No, don’t eat, don’t eat. 】
Shao Chong saw him Ya Shao: [You can soak it until soft and then eat it. 】
The old man slurred his words: [... After eating, the old man couldn't bear to die... He couldn't bear to die... But he was still hungry, so he had to eat dirt... eat grass... The old man didn't go out for seven days, seven days... It's so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable. 】
As he spoke, his hands and feet suddenly moved wildly, as if he was having a flashback.
After that, he drooped from exhaustion.
Chao Lian raised his hand to cover Shao Chong's eyes, and couldn't bear to say: [Thirteen, stop looking, let the old man have a good sleep, let's not disturb him, be good and be obedient, okay? 】
Shaochong was stunned for a moment, then obeyed obediently: [Oh. 】
After the two brothers left, it started to rain continuously. Shaochong asked: "Brother Twelve, is he dead?" 】
Chao Lian said: [The calamity has been completed, and I have gone to bliss. 】
Shaochong asked again: 【Can I eat enough there? 】
Chao Lian: 【There will be too much food that I don’t want to eat. 】
He walked for a while and didn't hear Shaochong's steps. He turned his head and looked, but saw the thirteenth brother's eyes looking elsewhere.
Chao Lian also followed his gaze and looked over.
It was a small broken house in the corner. At this time, the door was slightly opened, and two figures, one high and one low, were vaguely visible.
Chao Lian stepped forward and pushed it gently. He felt something blocking the door. He looked down and saw a small stone.
The people hanging the beams are an old man and a young man, a grandson and grandson.
The two of them had their tongues hanging out extremely long, their deaths were extremely painful, and their exposed skin was covered with corpse spots. When Chao Lian pushed the door open a little, the strong smell of corpses hit his face and made him raise his hands to cover his nose. Shaochong asked him: "Have they also successfully experienced the tribulation?" 】
Chao Lian gently closed the door: [Yeah. 】
On the way back, you can still see old and weak people sitting in the corner with numb faces, motionless to save energy, some of them maintain a curled-up stiff posture, and their chests do not rise or fall. Shaochong had seen this kind of scene more than once, but it was the first time he faced it after his mental growth. Before, he could just look at it and forget about it. At most, he was curious about why these people were sleeping on the roadside.
Now that his mind has grown, he understands the heaviness.
[Brother Twelve, I don’t feel this way when I kill people...] Shaochong raised his hand and touched his chest, looking down at his fingers, as if there was still the enemy’s blood on them, [I just He feels happy, but he is also a dead person. Why now...】
But he feels like someone is constantly pouring bitter water into his mouth?
Chao Lian could not give an answer.
After that, Shaochong started to act abnormally.
Hearing this, Gu Ren sighed: "It's like this - I don't know if Thirteen's recovery of mind is a good thing or a bad thing. If you are ignorant of pain, you won't understand what hurt is."
Chao Lian: "Brother, do you want to enlighten Thirteen again?"
Gu Ren shook his head: "Let him figure it out on his own."
This is something you have to get used to if you are born in this era.
Banzhou is easily captured.
The three-way Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces successfully joined forces.
Although it was a great victory, no one could laugh.
Partly because of what they saw and heard along the way, they felt heavy and couldn't laugh. The other part was because these places needed people but no one, money but no money, no food... to win the war but no one. The slightest benefit is no more than being teased and slapped by Zheng Qiao.
Shen Tang was the last to arrive.
To be precise, Shen Tang and Qian Yong arrived last.
Zhang He and Tao Yan arrived one day earlier.
The eyes of everyone in the Alliance Army looking at Shen Tang were weirder and more complicated than before. Some admired and some laughed at, but without exception, no one questioned Shen Tang's reputation for kindness. Because this reputation cannot bring her substantial benefits, but what she has to pay is real benefits. Gu Ren said in a low voice: "Gu has heard about Mr. Shen's good deeds. If you have any difficulties, please tell me."
If Tang is short of food, he can borrow some within his ability.
Shen Tang smiled rarely these days.
She said: "If you really have difficulties, you must speak up."
Gu Ren's eyes fell on Huang Lie's main rider Yun Ce who followed Shen Tang. He frowned in his heart and spoke directly: "Gu remembers that this boy seems to be the main rider of Alliance Leader Huang? How can he follow Mr. Shen?" ?" Shen Tang said with a bitter smile: "Council leader Huang was worried that I was short of manpower, so he sent him here specially to help. The original intention was to reduce our pressure, but the enemy did not act according to common sense..."
I didn’t encounter any decent resistance along the way.
In fact, except for the first two captured cities, which were defended by veterans, almost all the subsequent counties and cities were abandoned, and the veterans also robbed things and escaped. What Shen Tang and others saw were desolate ruins: "...all the surnames are destined to die...one hundred people will survive...Alas, Shen sometimes wonders what the meaning of the existence of this rolling world of mortals is..." ”
The life of a man in power is magnificent, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, but when they fall on the common people, they are always deadly knives.
Gu Ren avoided Shen Tang’s emotion because he didn’t know the answer either, and Shen Tang’s original intention of emotion was not to get the answer from him. He just said meaningfully: "When did Alliance Leader Huang treat Mr. Shen so well? He is so considerate..."
Shen Tang: "I have no personal relationship with him."
Two Jiaming is an ally on the surface, but has no contact in private.
Gu Ren said with a smile: "That's not what Gu meant..."
He meant that Shen Tang should be wary of Huang Lie. This guy and Zhang He, one is playing voodoo and the other is playing medicine, but they are not very clean at all. Especially the alliance leader Huang Lie, the opponent's main force of heavy shield warriors basically did not contribute much on the battlefield and always hid their strength. As Shen Tang is closely related to the Gongxi clan, Huang Lie's show of kindness to Shen Tang most likely has no good intentions.
Shen Tang did not embarrass Gu Ren.
He said: "I know, I will be careful."
In this way, Gu Ren said no more.
I believe that with Shen Jun's ability, he will not fall into the trap easily.
Although the Dragon Slaying Bureau Alliance Army has different ideas, at this moment, they can only temporarily abandon their opinions and devote themselves to the tough battle ahead. The fact that they could easily capture the remaining half of Yanzhou does not mean that Zheng Qiao is easy to bully. On the contrary, it is evidence that he has shrunk and concentrated his forces. What the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces will face next will be greater and heavier pressure than the battle at Chaoliguan!
Besides, the long-famous sixteenth-level Grand Master is a lingering cloud in their hearts.
The opponent only uses one incarnation to bring the pressure of destruction.
What should I do if I face my true self?
Everyone has no idea.
But they know that there is no way out now.
In the entire Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition, only Wei Shou knew the sixteenth-level great master best, so some people wanted to start with him to find out some of the sixteenth-level great master's weaknesses. Unexpectedly, Wei Shou's answer shocked everyone: "He? He has no weaknesses."
"Have you ever fought against each other?" Huang Lie asked.
Wei Shou said: "No."
Then someone said: "Since you have never fought against each other, why do you assert that this person has no weaknesses? He has the ambition of others!"
If you can use the same method to instigate Wei Shou, you can instigate the rebellion of the sixteenth-level grand master. , then we can attack Huanglong without any bloodshed. Some people had pretty good ideas, but Wei Shou's answer extinguished their dreams: "You probably don't know about his past affairs. If you did, you wouldn't question my words."
There was once someone He used a trick to kidnap the wives and children of the sixteenth-level master, using his old mother as a threat, and his answer was even more shocking: "Women are like clothes. Old clothes can be worn away and new ones can be worn. A real man Why worry about wearing beautiful clothes when you have made great achievements? If you have endless clothes, why worry about your children? As for the old lady, she has been suffering from a long-term illness. If she can be relieved, it will be considered as a sign of filial piety. 】
What he said inside and outside said——
Kill them all if you have the ability.
The enemy suspected that he said this on purpose. After the two armies started fighting, they pushed the old and the weak in front of the battle to continue the threat and at the same time undermine the morale of the other side's troops. However, the sixteenth-level superior was still not threatened and killed them all with one arrow.
【Think you can deceive the world with just a few fakes? 】
Say it, take the lead!
The enemy was confused by his operation.
Of course the hostages are not fake.
He did not regret or feel sad at all for killing his blood relative. On that day, the wife and daughter of the defeated general were given a grand feast to entertain themselves at the celebration banquet. Wei Shou initially thought that the other party was pretending, but after a closer look, he found that the other party was really happy.
While drunk, he showed off proudly.
【There is no weakness in martial arts. 】
After listening to Wei Shou’s story, everyone was silent for a while.
Although they are cruel, they are not so cruel as to disregard the life of their biological mother, let alone abandon their wives and children easily. People who can do this can indeed be said to have "no weaknesses." For a time, the tent was filled with contempt and criticism of this sixteenth-level great master. Calling this man a beast is an insult to the word beast. Sheep have the grace of kneeling to breastfeed, crows have the grace of feeding back, but this man has nothing!
As for money, fame and the like...
It goes without saying.
Zheng Qiao can give it.
This person can only be taken down by force.
Huang Lie looked at Shen Tang and Shao Chong.
"With such a powerful enemy, can Mr. Shen be confident?"
Gu Ren did not wait for Shen Tang's answer and interjected: "Leader Huang, the gap between the sixteenth-level great masters and the fifteenth-level juniors is too big. In Gu's humble opinion, it's better to attack them in groups or with vehicles. The only way to have a chance of winning is by spending every round of battle."
Shen Tang's role is quite special. He is both a military commander who rushes in front of the battle, and he is also the leader of a force. Regardless of Huang Lie's questions, Shen Tang can answer them with confidence. Still not sure, not happy either. Gu Ren doesn't mind selling Shen Tang a favor.
Some words are more appropriate for him to say than Shen Tang.
Gu Ren's eyes fell on the black-robed warrior behind Huang Lie.
The latter always lowered his eyes and said nothing.
At this time, someone murmured.
"Only a slight chance of winning? Is the gap really that big?"
Gu Ren smiled bitterly, it's really that big.
This gap is not only the realm gap between brave warriors, but also the national seal. If one's side goes to fight on someone else's military fortress, its strength will be suppressed, while the opponent's strength will be increased. The gap is much larger than normal...
The only good thing is that Zheng Qiao's national luck may not be very good, otherwise, the Dragon Slaying Bureau would have been a fart, and he would have been slaughtered by the other party. Everyone in the coalition army was gloomy for a moment, until someone slapped the table, and the sudden sound shocked them.
Shen Tang shouted: "Why are you all so embarrassed?"
Waiting from door to door to go to the funeral?
"Such a powerful enemy..."
Shen Tang interrupted: "Such a powerful enemy? So what if such a powerful enemy? If the enemy is strong, this battle will not be fought?"
She thought this group of people was really interesting.
Fighting all the way, we finally reached the enemy's lair. The enemy on the other side also gathered heavy troops to prepare for the final battle. But at the end of the battle, he said that he had frequent and urgent urination... What did he do earlier?
Shen Tang said with fierce eyes: "Zheng Qiao can live one more day in this world because of our incompetence! This battle must not only be fought, but also pushed all the way to Zheng Qiao's ancestral graves, and his ancestral graves must be destroyed one by one. Dig it out, crush the bones and stir up the ashes to soak in wine. He has done so many evil things in the world that the Lord of Hell will spend days and nights thinking about his crimes... He single-handedly created the hell on earth in Yanzhou."
He. You should use your life to atone for your sins!
Gu Ren responded with a smile: "Mr. Shen's words are reasonable."
Zheng Qiao has the right to do evil.
They also have the right to send him to see the King of Hell!
This world should not be like this.
