Chapter 911: Liu Yan

One point that Chen Bushi has always criticized Chen Wuji for is that he is too concerned about feelings.

Regarding this point, Chen Wuji was unable to refute it. The old indecent third uncle of the same generation spoke too much to the point.

If it weren't for the feelings between him and Zhang Lao, the matter of Ciji Zhai would have been solved a long time ago and would never have been dragged until now.

However, Chen Wuji always believed that caring about feelings was not a bad thing.

In a lifetime, the weight of the two words "feelings" is too great.

He has already been a human for two lifetimes and cannot do everything with a purpose and for the sake of profit.

The star river hangs low, like a dream, hanging above the mysterious Shenxianling, as if they are attracting each other and echoing each other.

Kong Jianshi left Shenxianling under the cover of night with an unprecedented mission.

Chen Wuji sent him off personally.

Old Kong is too honest, so it is appropriate to take care of his emotions when there is spare energy.

"The night is really good tonight, suitable for a midnight snack," Chen Wuji said as he watched Kong Jianshi leave. He didn't rush back to the tent but sat down on a thick dead tree, pondering what to eat for a midnight snack.

Such a scene of stars and moon shining together and the Milky Way is not something that can be seen at any time, and it is a happy mood, suitable for a small midnight snack and a little wine to be a little comfortable.

Chen Li said, "I saw that they seemed to have gotten some river fresh food today, and there are quite a few mushrooms. Should I bring them over and roast them?"

"There is still wild game left today?" Chen Wuji asked in surprise.

For a period of time, the army would send soldiers into the mountains to hunt every day to supplement the grain and grass, and also to change the taste for everyone.

The days of eating dry fried noodles were long, and no one liked to eat them. The wild game they hit in the mountains was in short supply every day, and basically, it was snatched up.

Chen Li smiled. "The few boys in the logistics camp secretly kept it. I happened to see it when I was patrolling the camp."

"These boys actually dare to hide private goods. Hurry up and get them, let's have a midnight snack," Chen Wuji laughed heartily. Bullying the soldiers occasionally is a very good entertainment activity.

"Yes!"

Chen Li responded, ordered a personal guard to get the ingredients, and he himself piled up a pile of firewood and hugged it over. Then he dug a hole in the river beach full of gravel and started a fire.

Because of Chen Wuji's habit of eating and drinking everywhere, his fire-starting skills and those of Chen Wushuang and others were quite superb.

The flames soon jumped up, and the personal guard also brought the ingredients.

Chen Wuji personally started roasting. These ingredients had already been handled properly by the soldiers in the logistics camp. He only needed to pass them through the water simply, and he could start roasting directly.

Soon, the tempting aroma floated in the camp.

"If there is no war, such scenery must be very comfortable," Chen Wuji sat in the Hu bed, looking up and counting the star river in the sky. He had studied the twenty-eight constellations seriously, but now he couldn't recognize a few, and he couldn't even determine the range of the four symbols.

Chen Li added firewood to the campfire and said, "It may be a bit difficult for the Lord to want the comfort without war. Once this step is taken, it is not something we can give up if we want to."

"Who says it isn't!" Chen Wuji sighed. "When it reaches this point, unless I want to die, otherwise, the road that should be taken cannot be less."

By his current status, what pushes him is no longer the former purpose, or any pursuit, but the general trend of the world and the twenty thousand soldiers following behind him.

The ideal of the four sentences of Hengqu is very great, and every time you hear it, it makes people's blood boil.

But Chen Wuji never thought of achieving any of them.

It is too difficult, for him, those are completely impossible things.

But when he reaches this position, if he wants long-term governance, wants to go safer and further, he must walk in the direction of the four sentences of Hengqu.

Life is a hundred years, who can predict the changes in the world?

Some things, when they reach a certain point, are really not something that individual will can change.

In the distance, there was a muffled password sound. Chen Wuji turned his head and saw a scout rushing through the darkness, and the corners of his mouth instantly collapsed. "The beautiful mood will probably end here."

The news brought by the scout at this time is generally not good news.

Chen Li stood up straight, his honest and kind eyes like a farmer instantly converged, as if he had become a stone without any emotion.

The scout rushed over. "Report to the Lord, Liu Yan led his troops to suddenly counterattack the rebel army under his command at sunset, won a great victory, beheaded all the rebel soldiers, and then crossed the mountain and headed south."

"Is there a road on the sinkhole side?" Chen Wuji asked.

In the intelligence obtained earlier, there seemed to be no road to walk south of that sinkhole.

"No road, Liu Yan sent a vanguard of more than three thousand people to explore the road in the mountains," the scout replied. "In addition, my subordinates explored that there was originally an isolated village named Cai Jia Zhuang in the sinkhole, with hundreds of villagers. Liu Yan should have used these villagers to obtain food supplies."

Chen Wuji's eyes sank. "If this is the case, then everything makes sense. Is there any other news?"

"Report to the Lord, that's all for now."

"Have you ever guessed Liu Yan's purpose in marching south?"

"... Yes."

"Tell me."

The scout was a bit afraid, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My subordinates suspect that Liu Yan wants to cross the area where our army is stationed, cross the ancient riverbed, and then go south from the Gengxin Ancient Road to the Southern County, raiding Yunan."

"Good, you have all worked hard, go down and rest early!"

"Yes!" The scout responded loudly and added shyly, "Serving the Lord, not tired!"

"Go." Chen Wuji waved his hand with a smile.

Still shyly flattering.

"How does Eleventh Uncle see it?" Chen Wuji asked.

Chen Li said in a deep voice, "I agree with the judgment of this scout."

"Taking the Gengxin Ancient Road to raid Yunan is far more cost-effective than taking the Cha Ma Dao. Coming out of the Gengxin Ancient Road is our village. The dock wall is not high, the defense force is weak, and it is our rear, where the ancestral hall is located, and there are many workshops. If the raid can be successful, it can cut off the foundation of our Chen clan."

"Although the Cha Ma Dao is close, the nearest one after coming out of the mountain is Hezhou. Hezhou is one of the many big cities in the Southern County and has heavy troops to defend it. Liu Yan takes a tired and exhausted army down, and it is absolutely difficult to break through Hezhou's defense in a short time."

"He must not dare to stay in Hezhou for too long now. He wants to fight a quick battle and catch our army off guard."

Chen Wuji nodded. "Sure enough, it's not good news. It seems that our previous judgment was correct. Liu Yan abandoned a part of the troops, and those who stayed in the sinkhole should be the core elites."

"Fighting in the night, annihilating the rebel army, this combat effectiveness is very good." ===== CHAPTER 912 =====
