Qu Yunmie's mind drifted away, but was instantly pulled back by these words: "...well, you say."
Xiao Rong crossed his arms and looked at the end of the bed. After a while, he said, "If the situation changes, at the critical moment... can you be a deserter for once?"
Qu Yunmie: “…………”
Xiao Rong straightened up. He knew that he was making things difficult for others. Instead of letting Qu Yunmie become a deserter, it would be better to let him die directly. So Xiao Rong spoke with great trepidation. He looked at Qu Yunmie silently, but did not intend to take back his words.
Qu Yunmie was silenced by him. He never expected that there would be a day in his life when he would be asked to desert. What he never expected was that he did not refuse immediately.
After a long while, Qu Yunmie finally spoke carefully: "Arong, I won't be a deserter."
Knowing this was the answer, Xiao Rong looked away.
The next second, Qu Yunmie said, "Abandoning your comrades and weapons and running away is desertion. I will never do that. But if the situation on the battlefield changes and the enemy is superior and we are inferior, I will not fight them to the death. I will retreat with the others."
When Xiao Rong mentioned deserters, he was referring to the second situation. He was worried that Qu Yunmie would become too obsessed with killing and no longer care about the people behind him. When he heard Qu Yunmie say this, he was still worried: "You can do this when the battle is in full swing?" Qu Yunmie nodded.
Xiao Rong: “Haha.”
Qu Yunmie: “…………”
He didn't know how to explain it. As the commander-in-chief, he would inevitably go to the battlefield, but he didn't intend to do it himself like he did in Xianbei. This time he brought so many generals with him, and if each of them showed their skills once, they would almost be able to push open the gate of Jinling. He liked a truly hearty battle, but he didn't like this kind of crushing attack. After all, he had no mortal hatred with Jinling, so there was no need for him to go into battle himself.
Besides, as the saying goes, swords and knives have no eyes on the battlefield. Now he dare not get seriously injured again. Just look at his hands and you will know. Once he is injured, Xiao Rong will watch him every day, make gloves for him and apply medicine for him. Although these extra treatments make him feel good, they are not given to him every day. Instead, it is Xiao Rong's silent gaze that can always penetrate his flesh and blood and hit his most fragile heart.
When Qu Yunmie didn't know how to explain, he would shut his mouth, look at Xiao Rong with an indescribable look, and say something inappropriate. At this time, he was like a dog, unable to speak, so he could only look at him silently, hoping that he could understand what he meant from his eyes.
Whether Xiao Rong understood or not, only he knew it. In Qu Yunmie's eyes, he watched Xiao Rong take a deep breath helplessly. When his shoulders slowly slumped down with the exhalation, Xiao Rong patted his legs and said, "Go to sleep."
Qu Yunmie: “…”
Then they lay down together, and a moment later the candle burned out, and in an instant the light in the room was gone.
The next day, Di Fazeng led the troops to the battle in place of Yu Shaocheng.
Xiao Rong called him over and spoke to him for a few words. He kept emphasizing the danger of Han Qing. Others could escape, but Han Qing must be found even if they had to dig deep into the ground. Killing him was the first priority, and clearing out the miscellaneous troops was the second priority.
Xiao Rong had already given up on watching Han Qing die with his own eyes. As long as he killed him, it would be the same to look at the corpse later.
Di Fa Zeng: "..."
Although he knew that Han Qing's escape had little to do with him, it had to be said that Xiao Rong's attitude towards Han Qing and Han Qing's actions after he left had made Di Fazeng have a strong desire to win. He didn't want to lose to such a person, and he didn't want this person to affect his career.
He didn't care that he couldn't participate in the Battle of Nanjing. The King of Zhenbei cared about the Battle of Nanjing, but it was obvious that Xiao Situ cared about Han Qing. As long as he caught this man, he would be the greatest contributor in Xiao Situ's eyes. According to his observations over the past few days, getting Xiao Situ to treat him differently would have the same effect as getting the King of Zhenbei to treat him differently. ...
Difazeng led 50,000 people away first, and on the third day, Qu Yunmie led another 50,000 people away.
Qu Yunmie said that he would lead an army of 200,000, but these 200,000 would not leave on the same day. After all, the soldiers had just been dispersed, and the logistics troops could not keep up for a while. Usually, the logistics would be supplied first, and then the army would set out. This time, if they wanted to seize the opportunity, they could only come in batches, so as to reduce the pressure on logistics.
Xiao Rong had already said everything he should have said before, and when it was time to see off, in front of so many people, the most he could say to Qu Yunmie was "Wishing the King a Triumphant Return." But obviously this was not what Qu Yunmie wanted to hear, so Xiao Rong didn't even stand there. He stood on the newly built city wall, looking down at Qu Yunmie and Gao Xunzhi talking to them. After Qu Yunmie ordered the army to march off, he only had to turn around to see the man in the red cloak on the city wall.
Xiao Rong didn't like red clothes. Gao Xunzhi made one for him, but he never wore it once. Later, people gradually understood his preference. But now he deliberately took out the red clothes just because it was conspicuous and eye-catching enough.
Qu Yunmie saw Xiao Rong and could recognize him at a glance, but in the densely packed army, Xiao Rong could no longer catch sight of Qu Yunmie. Just when Qu Yunmie completely left Xiao Rong's field of vision, Xiao Rong suddenly felt a familiar yet unfamiliar dizziness. ...
A few months seemed like several years, and Xiao Rong almost forgot what it felt like to be reminded by the system.
When dizziness came over him, Xiao Rong reflexively grabbed the battlement of the city wall. He didn't know whether Qu Yunmie could still see him, but he didn't want to gamble on that possibility.
He still understood the principle of making a concerted effort. If the troops withdrew right after setting out, the morale would be greatly reduced, and the commander's inconsistency would also leave a bad impression on others.
What's more, it was just dizziness, not fainting, nor vomiting blood, which means that the obstacle ahead is just a trivial matter, at least in the eyes of the system. As long as Qu Yunmiebie is impulsive, the outcome of this war will not change.
He is no longer as dependent on the system as he was in the past. The system also has its drawbacks, and he does not want to become part of an Oedipal plot.
Ah Shu looked at him worriedly. He waved to Ah Shu and waited until all the troops had left before the two of them walked down the city wall. *
Only a God's perspective can give you the full picture. Xiao Rong will never know why he felt dizzy at that time. There are too many possibilities and no one can guess what happened. In fact, it is very simple. Han Qing came over.
Everyone thought that Han Qing should be with Huang Yanjiong or King Nankang, but Han Qing left after bribing Huang Yanjiong with the things of Qingfeng Sect. His face was exposed, so it was difficult for him to show up. He had to cooperate with others and hand over the task to others at the risk of being betrayed.
It's ironic. In the official history, Han Qing secretly plotted to kill Zhou Liang's entire family, but now Zhou Liang has become Han Qing's helper. Zhou Liang is not someone who can be easily brainwashed. Han Qing paid a price to win him over. They agreed to jointly nominate King Nankang as the emperor, and then the two of them would jointly govern the court. What moved Zhou Liang was that Han Qing promised to get rid of Huang Yanjiong, who had a grudge against Zhou Liang and was his mortal enemy.
These alone would not make Zhou Liang truly join the group. He could not grasp Han Qing's psychology, so he had to grasp something else.
For example, Han Qing's son. ...
Unlike Zhou Liang, Han Qing cares a lot about his offspring. However, compared with the general situation of the world, he doesn't seem to care that much. No matter what Zhou Liang's temperament is, his ability is unquestionable. Han Qing is racing against time at this time, and a capable helper will increase his chances of winning.
