It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 37

This night, everyone in Qingniu Mountain was in danger, and everyone felt like a knife was hanging over their heads, and they didn't know when it would fall.

"Brother, I have added two more posts in the back mountain, and let the brothers take turns on duty tonight." Gao Feibao came in from outside.

"Let the brothers be smart today, and give me a copy whenever there is any trouble." When he said this, Gao Feihu subconsciously touched the back of his head. He had this habit since he saw the tragic situation of Zhujiazhai being slaughtered today.

After returning to the cottage, he immediately strengthened his vigilance, but even so, he was still a little worried, for fear that when he fell asleep in the middle of the night, a knife would chop off his head.

"Master, what do you think, is there any other negligence?" Gao Feihu asked Yu Qiuran.

"With this arrangement, there shouldn't be any mistakes, and it's nothing more than telling everyone to be careful. As long as they can survive these three days, they should be fine when they pass down the mountain."

Gao Feihu naturally knew who Yu Qiuran was referring to as "they", he sat down in his chair and said, "I originally wanted to rob this batch of birthday gifts. Humph, it's so ruthless, the blood slaughtered Zhujiazhai, but it's a pity to attack Zhujiazhai, if I attacked our Feihu Village, I would have moved my head now."

Having said that, he touched the back of his head again, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What news from Cheng Dalei?"

"Yo, big brother, don't mention him. That kid was scared to pee. I heard that he fell ill when he returned to the mountain. Now he is confinement on the bed like a girl." Gao Feibao said with disdain.

"Hey, after all, I'm too young. I've seen such a tragic situation, but Lu Heng is too cruel. Don't talk about him, I was scared today." The cold air, tonight, is doomed to insomnia.

...

Toad Village.

After Li Xingzai returned, he also told Li Waner what happened in Zhujiazhai. After Li Wan'er listened to it, she was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Even the children are killed. Although he is a bandit, Lu Hen's work is too extreme."

Li Xingzai sighed: "I heard people say that in a war, more than 100,000 people died in a battle, but today I saw it and realized that killing people is really not a fun thing."

"Brother, let's find a chance to go, it's not very safe here." Li Wan'er.

"Well, we leave quietly when we leave, and don't disturb them." Li Xingzai said.

"Yo, chatting, haven't you slept yet?"

At this moment, the door opened and Cheng Dalei walked in. Li Xingzai and the two were shocked, and he didn't know if he heard the conversation just now.

"Master, I heard that you are ill, why did you come here?" Li Wan'er saw that Cheng Dalei's face was still a little pale.

"It's not too serious to catch a little wind chill." 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 chat casually."

After more than ten days of communication, Cheng Dalei already had a vague impression of the location of the 108 cities in the thirteen states of the empire. What Li Xingzai learned about these days was the history of the empire.

Li Wan'er lit the wick, and under the lamp Li Xingzai talked freely about the three thousand years of the empire's history, Cheng Dalei took it seriously in his heart.

When he first came to this world, Cheng Dalei could be said to have a black eye on this world, and he did not know that the current history could correspond to the period in the previous life. Now, after listening to Li Xingzai chatting so much, I finally have a vague impression of this world.

This world is the same as Cheng Dalei’s previous life. Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa created man, then three emperors ruled the world, and five emperors established Lun, then Xia, Shang, Zhou, Chunqiu, and five hegemonies in the world, until Qin unified, Chu and Han competed, and Han established four hundred states In the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in great chaos, the chaos of the ten permanent servants, and Dong Zhuo's chaos...

It was at this time that history went wrong. There is the name of Cao Cao, but he was caught and killed when he stabbed Dong Zhuo, which did not make much splash in history.

Therefore, there is no longer the Three Kingdoms hegemony, but... the nineteen countries are divided and compete for the world.

The names of those celebrities or generals that Cheng Dalei is familiar with also have some and some do not. For example, without Wuhou Zhuge, without Liu Guanzhang, without Cao Wei and Five Tiger Generals... without Zhao Yun and Diaochan.

Then history is a mess, the Nineteen Kingdoms are constantly fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting non-stop, and with them are the dead, the dead, the non-stop dead... Until the great military established the country, until now.

Cheng Dalei deduced from time that this almost corresponds to the Sui and Tang dynasties in the previous life, but in fact it does not match, the history is a mess, and the geographical location is also a thousand and one wrong.

"...In the end, although the Rong tribe was kicked out, they still committed many crimes over the years, and there were constant frictions." Li Xingzai spoke eloquently and talked endlessly, talking about the battle of the Rong tribe's invasion 30 years ago. .

"How much the empire spends a year on the frontier army, but it is still defeated after repeated battles, and the defeat is a mess. Brother, you said that we have fought against the Rong for so many years, why can't we win." Li Wan'er said with emotion.

"It's not that the frontier generals are all a bunch of wine sacks and rice sacks. They only know that they are full of personal pockets and perfunctory military affairs!" Speaking of this, Li Xingzai looked extremely angry.

Cheng Dalei cast his eyes: "Why are you so angry?"

"Ha, it's just a feeling. The battles with the Rong clan in these years can be said to be ten defeats in ten battles, and they have falsely reported their military exploits. Hundreds of people died in one battle, but they have to report to the empire, saying that they 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 glanced at Cheng Dalei: "Master, according to 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 army in the world can be divided into three classes, the lowest class fights for survival, each soldier only cares about his own life, and when he encounters the enemy, he will be scattered; the second class is for profit. In battle, when you win a battle, your morale is like a rainbow, and when you encounter a defeat, you will feel panic. The first class is to fight for glory, and to be proud of dying in battle, that is the real elite teacher."

"Is this for you?" Cheng Dalei suddenly asked.

"Uh..." Li Xingzai raised his head and saw Cheng Dalei's big eyes staring at him: "It's just an old man."

"Then are you sure that he's not fooling you?" Cheng Dalei asked seriously.

"..." Li Xingzai was speechless again, how did he tell Cheng Dalei that the person who said this to himself was the current imperial marshal.
