The bonfire is burning brightly.
It was already dark at this time, but no one here looked like they were going to sleep.
The eyes were wide open, but there was no life in them.
Meng Ao looked at these soldiers who looked like corpses. Even though he had crawled out of a pile of corpses, he still felt chilled.
The only thing scarier than a dead person is someone who comes back to life after dying.
However, thanks to the tiger talisman, these soldiers did not do anything else along the way. They just followed Meng Ao's orders, or rather, the orders of the tiger talisman.
"Come here, you two boys." Meng Ao looked at Wei Liao and Meng Wu, who had somewhat ugly expressions on their faces in the distance.
They are somewhat inexperienced and have not climbed enough piles of dead bodies on the battlefield. Now, these two people are trembling in their hearts.
It wasn't so strong during the day, but at night it was already a bit unbearable.
If there hadn't been a bonfire burning, the two of them would have collapsed.
"General." Wei Liao and Meng Wu ran over happily and sat down next to Meng Ao.
It’s strange to say, only here in Mengao is it somewhat warm, while other places are even colder than winter, and it’s so cold that it penetrates the heart.
"Can't you two bear it?" Meng Ao saw the two boys' faces turned pale, and he knew that they might not be able to resist this evil spirit.
"I don't know if it's because I didn't get enough rest last night, but I feel extra cold today." Wei Liao smiled awkwardly. In the army, failure is the biggest laugh point.
Especially the Qin soldiers, they had to charge forward even if they had no other choice, to achieve merit and make a name for themselves.
The Wei family has been in decline for a long time. If it were not for the remaining glory of his ancestor and the protection of Meng Ao and Wang He, Wei Liao would not have had the chance to be the left minister, let alone the lord of twenty or five hundred.
How risky could it be to encircle and suppress the Mohists now? If he was frozen back by the severe cold at night, Wei Liao would not have to go to the battlefield. He could just stay in Xianyang and spend the rest of his life holding the position of Zuo Shuchang.
Meng Wu originally wanted to say that it was a bit cold, but when he saw Wei Liao said so, he swallowed his words. After all, he was ten years older than Wei Liao.
"Don't worry, General, we two can still hold on." There is no father-son relationship in the army. Even Meng Wu can only call Meng Ao the general instead of his father.
"If you can't do it, just tell me. I won't blame you." Meng Ao frowned. "These soldiers are all from the afterlife. They are not something you two can withstand even though you have fought many battles."
In Meng Ao's eyes, Wei Liao and Meng Wu were indeed like children who had not fought many battles.
He was a little hesitant now, wondering whether to teach the martial arts to these two boys, but he didn't dare to do so without Ying Zheng's order.
Meng Wu was not too worried, but he was afraid of Wei Liao. After all, although Wei Liao grew up in Xianyang and was raised by them, he was not as close to them as his own family.
In the end, I still didn't show any mercy. It's best not to spread this kind of thing. After all, the meaning of this thing is more than just the concept of immortality.
Even though both Meng Tian and Meng Yi were taught martial arts, and even the boy from the Li family was educated, it would not be impossible to add Meng Wuwei Liao.
But at the banquet that day, Ying Zheng could remember the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi, so how could he not remember Meng Wu?
In the final analysis, Meng Wu was not considered a confidant, so he could not be of great use.
If Meng Ao passes on the knowledge now, perhaps these two will get ahead, but as long as Ying Zheng finds out, who can say for sure what will happen next?
Meng Ao had served four dynasties, so he knew about this kind of thing. As for why he had such thoughts just now, it was just that he was confused for a moment and was captured by this evil spirit.
"Forget it, you two can just sleep here. You don't need to be on duty tonight, so go to sleep first." After all, he had to be soft-hearted, because he was his own son, his legitimate son.
In the future, his title and honor will be inherited by Meng Wu. Meng Que has already established his own family, and Meng Tian and Meng Yi are still young. Judging from Ying Zheng's attitude, his future is probably much better than Meng Wu's.
His son was useless after all. At least compared with the other members of the Meng family and the backbone of the current army, he was still a little bit inferior.
If I hurt myself again here, I'm afraid there will be no chance of recovery.
As for Wei Liao, he was just a side job. After all, it was just a friendship from the previous generation. His position as Zuo Shuzhang should be exhausted.
"Don't say any more, just go to sleep." Meng Ao took a look and felt that the two would chatter for a while longer, so he frowned and scolded them, "This is a military order."
Wei Liao Mengwu didn't dare to speak anymore. He just lay down, closed his eyes, and seemed to fall asleep.
Meng Ao no longer looked at the two of them, but just looked up in the direction of Yongcheng.
It was also because these soldiers were tireless and marched very quickly, otherwise they would not have reached Yongcheng by dusk.
The reason why we didn't enter the city overnight today was just to see the Mohist reaction.
There should be no Mohist spies in Xianyang. Besides, if it is an ordinary person, his travel to and from Xianyang and Yongcheng will always be registered, so there is no need to worry about the so-called tip-off.
But it is better not to do anything that would alert the enemy. There are only more than 10,000 soldiers here. Even though they are all elite soldiers and brave generals, they cannot surround the entire Yongcheng after all.
If any Mohist were allowed to escape, it would probably be Meng Ao's fault. Regardless of other places, as long as anyone escaped in Yongcheng, it would be Meng Ao's responsibility.
After all, when he left Xianyang, he signed a military order, saying that no one from the Mohist school in Yongcheng would be allowed to escape.
