Chapter 186: How can the mountains and rivers be stable? 4
Xiao Hao didn't know what the system was doing, and was afraid that Shi Zhixuan would misunderstand that he brought the system with him. He crumpled the letter in front of Shi Zhixuan, racked his brains and said with difficulty: "You don't have to care about these things..."
Shi Zhixuan smiled, as if he didn't take it to heart, and said casually: "Is this the letter from the person above?"
Xiao Hao nodded reluctantly. He really couldn't explain how to explain the existence of the system for a while. Shi Zhixuan's guess was not wrong, so he just responded like this for the time being.
He criticized the system in his heart for many times. The system said aggrievedly: [Hero, you are repaying kindness with resentment. 】
Xiao Hao replied in his heart unhappily: "Don't do unnecessary things, be dedicated to being a power leveling system."
The system immediately retorted: [Hero, this system has always been very dedicated, this is also my job! 】
Xiao Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "Including giving me horse grass for life and death?"
The system chattered a few times, [Hero needs a big gift package of love, the system can provide [True Orange Heart], [Oath of Love], [Endless Love]...]
Xiao Hao sneered in his heart, "How do you know I will definitely agree to Shi Zhixuan?"
The system was silent for a while, and replied: [Then...Hero, you work hard, the system can provide [Strengthening Soup][Strengthening Soup][Strengthening Soup]...]
Xiao Hao: "..." Get lost! Doesn't he look that different from the ones above!
"What the hell are you?"
The system said seriously: [Hero, you will know soon, but now is not the time.]
Xiao Hao's mind sank, and he felt that he seemed to have grasped the key problem, and asked: "What do you mean by now is not the time?"
[Ding! Insufficient authority, access denied.]
Xiao Hao: "..."
[Hero, don't be discouraged, the system has high hopes for you.]
Xiao Hao chuckled twice and was too lazy to pay attention to it. The tone of the system made him vaguely feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but this sense of familiarity came so long ago that Xiao Hao really couldn't find the corresponding thing from his memory.
He thought of a slip of the tongue of the system a long time ago, and asked casually, "Can I ask you what 'eating food' means?"
[……] This time it was the system that was silent for a long time. Xiao Hao thought it would start to play dead, and it replied cautiously: [Hero, this is not my fault. Who told me to bind to the Pure Love Channel in the first place?]
???
[Hero, do you still remember the full name of this system?]
The first generation of the King of Force, the Big JJ three-generation training system...?
[Hero, you are so concerned about this system, this system is very grateful. In return, the [Changkong Order] has been sent to your messenger column, please check it in time.]
Xiao Hao was confused, and when he asked more, the system was unwilling to say a word.
Xiao Hao always felt that he seemed to have inadvertently touched upon some truths about this journey, but these clues were too obscure for him to sort out for the time being.
Shi Zhixuan saw that he frowned for a while, and was filled with righteous indignation for a while, and guessed whether he was silently talking to "that person". He silently observed Xiao Hao's every move, and did not even notice that the horse grass in his hand was eaten up by Ba Hongchen.
After opening the warehouse to release grain, Li Yan and Hong Niangzi set fire to the county government office. The people cheered, and many people joined their team. Xiao Hao and Shi Zhixuan went with him. When they heard that King Chan had rushed from Luoyang to Kaifeng, they turned east to meet King Chan.
This journey was not as joyful as when Xiao Hao first arrived in Luoyang. Luoyang had just been saved by the righteous army just like Li Yan and his men, so although the people were poor, they all had happy expressions on their faces, knowing that good days were coming. The east was still controlled by the government, and the further they went, the more shocking the scene on the roadside was.
Starving people were everywhere, and many people on the roadside were digging tree roots and weeds in the mountains. However, the grass and trees they could find were limited after all. Going further ahead, there was no grass growing on the ground.
An old woman knelt alone beside a dead body on the roadside, trembling as she scraped off the bones and flesh from his body, cooking and crying.
Although Shi Zhixuan had already become open-minded about the life and death of these mortals, he still frowned when he saw this scene.
Xiao Hao had already stopped and walked over. He didn't care if it burned his hands. He took out all the meat in the pot, gathered it up carefully, and wrapped it up with a silk handkerchief. He emptied the pot and threw the remaining meat and spring water in the package into it.
After sending the sisters away, there was no meat left in groups in his bag. This pot of meat could only feed the old woman. But the old woman's tears had already burst out. She couldn't even speak a complete sentence. She just cried while holding the piece of flesh and bones: "Son..."
Xiao Hao was in a complicated mood. He returned to the team without saying a word and followed Li Yan and the others forward.
Shi Zhixuan saw him coming back and stood silently beside him. Xiao Hao knew that this was the best comfort for him, and he looked at Shi Zhixuan with gratitude.
Li Yan had long been accustomed to the plight of these hungry people. He patted Xiao Hao's shoulder and comforted him: "Brother Xiao, this is your first time out of the mountains. After seeing more in the future, you will naturally be able to let go."
Xiao Hao shook his head: "You can't be indifferent after seeing too much. If you can help, it's only once."
Li Yan was slightly startled, then shook his head in shame, a bit self-deprecating. They always felt that helping someone in such a deserted place would not only fail to help, but might also cause them harm because of poor control over the size of the favor. However, they had been worried for a long time, and when they encountered
someone who could really help, they would shrink back and risk someone's life.
Li Yan suddenly had some different thoughts in his mind. He began to hope that Xiao Hao could really build a force as he said and put an end to all the injustices in the world.
King Ke was also a benevolent and righteous teacher with a great reputation, but he was a bandit in the post house after all.
But the young man in front of him was obviously well educated like himself, and he had the style of a general in terms of martial arts, character, and behavior.
Li Yan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Xiao Hao firmly: "Brother Xiao will one day become a man who makes the world turbulent."
Xiao Hao glanced at him, stretched out his lips and smiled faintly: "Thank you for your good words, brother Li."
He needs a genius military strategist, and the war must be fought. Even if there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, he will not let the people suffer. As for Li Zicheng... Xiao Hao has foreseen that sooner or later, he will have to fight with this man.
When they arrived outside Kaifeng, they were warmly welcomed by King Ke. King Ke and Li Yan had met each other too late, and they hit it off immediately. Xiao Hao enthusiastically accepted them into the army. When Xiao Hao heard that one of them said, "The general is so kind, I am willing to follow in his footsteps," and the other said, "You are a man of great courage and strategy, and you will surely work with me to establish a career and start a business," he leaned next to Ba Hongchen with a gun in his arms, looking very careful, like he was standing guard.
Hong Niangzi and Shi Zhixuan came together. Seeing him standing at the door of the big tent, Yingying smiled and said, "Why didn't Brother Xiao go in?"
Xiao Hao said, "Brother Li is discussing with King Li Ke about taking Kaifeng City."
Shi Zhixuan didn't even look inside and said to Xiao Hao, "I went to the army to ask around. They said that King Li Ke had attacked Kaifeng City three times. There were powerful firearms on the top of the city. They suffered heavy losses. Although they besieged Kaifeng City, they couldn't take it down."
Xiao Hao thought, "Kaifeng was the old capital of the Song Dynasty. The city walls are thick and the moats are deep. It is very strong and cannot be conquered by force. "
Hong Niangzi continued: "That's right. King Qian has lost three battles in a row and his morale is low. We came to help. Although most of the soldiers greeted us with smiles, they were still worried about this matter. They were originally unstoppable and had a smooth journey to Kaifeng, but they were blocked here. They were somewhat upset. In addition, the artillery fire on the city wall was fierce, and there were many casualties. The militiamen began to retreat and dared not rush forward. "
Xiao Hao frowned, "The battlefield changes rapidly, how can we be timid."
Hong Niangzi said helplessly: "Brother Xiao, you are a courageous person . , but we don’t have your superb martial arts, and most of us are from ordinary people. We rebelled because we were forced into a desperate situation. When our lives are at stake, if there is no trustworthy person to guide us, we will definitely be a mess.”
Xiao Hao was surprised at how well she knew her subordinates, and praised her sincerely: “Female generals are as brave as men, and they are no less capable than men in leading troops in battle.”
Hong Niang smiled and said: “Don’t praise me to the sky. I just know myself and know their nature. Although I am a woman, I am the same Riding horses and drawing bows, fighting on the battlefield, in this army, what is the difference between men and women? Master Li is a scholar, he should be the one planning and strategizing in the military tent, but the task of breaking through the enemy's defenses still has to be handed over to us soldiers."
Xiao Hao vaguely heard that she had already regarded herself as a soldier, and his heart moved slightly, and suddenly asked: "How many people do you have now?"
Hong Niangzi was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said: "There are still thousands."
Shi Zhixuan had already understood what Xiao Hao meant, and smiled faintly, found an open space, and set up a fire rack.
Xiao Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw his expression, and handed him two pots of Yanchun, as if holding some treasure, and said: "I bought this from the pawnshop in Tiance Mansion a few years ago. There are only five pots in total. If it's gone, it's gone."
Shi Zhixuan took the wine, warmed it up and nodded, "Then Ah Hao needs to hurry up, otherwise they will all end up in my stomach."
Xiao Hao said to Hong Niangzi: "General, I'm going to fight you bravely. Can you lend me fifty men? "
Hongniangzi finally realized what he was going to do, and took a breath of cold air and said, "Are you crazy? ! The artillery on the top of Kaifeng City can fry bones and flesh, are you going to die with fifty men? ! "
Xiao Hao said seriously, "For these fifty men, I need some kung fu, preferably those who can ride horses, and those who are determined to obey orders. If there are those who are greedy and afraid of death, Even if there are less than 50 people, I won't bring them to make up the number."
Hong Niang was stunned and hesitated for a long time before she said, "No! I will never lend it to you! You may be skilled and brave, or you may not be afraid of death, but I won't let you take this risk!"
Xiao Hao wanted to test her, "Oh?" She said, "But if the general doesn't lend it to me, I will go by myself. If we capture the city before they come to a conclusion, When I came back, I was just about to serve the wine. It was a great pleasure, wasn't it?"
Seeing that he was calm and composed while talking, Hongniang frowned and said, "How confident are you? Tell me the tactics first."
Xiao Hao pondered and said, "If it can be done within two quarters of an hour, then it will be done."
Hongniang asked quickly, "What if it doesn't work?"
Xiao Hao laughed and said, "Then continue for another two quarters of an hour." It's thunder. If the buff is not enough in half an hour, just strike again.
Hong Niangzi: "..."
She pressed her forehead with a headache, but she didn't dare to let Xiao Hao sneak out to challenge the Kaifeng garrison alone. Shi Zhixuan had already boiled some wine. It was getting dark, and the firewood was crackling in the twilight. He said leisurely: "Ahao, the wine will be hot in a while."
Hong Niangzi made up her mind and said through gritted teeth: "I'll go with you!"
