Chapter 488: Together at night

Except for the confused Batulu, everyone else in the camp was a smart person. More than one person found something on his mind. When he came back to his senses, he found that Datou, Li Zhongyong and others were looking at him with doubts and concerns.

Look at him.

What I was thinking about just now was not a bright and honest matter. In order to hide my true thoughts, I had to look at Li Zhongyong pretending to be serious, "Second Senior Brother, the firearms you make are extremely powerful, whether it is to fight the enemy in front of the enemy or to attack the city.

It's very useful. There are less than fifty barrels of gunpowder in the camp right now. You and your senior and third senior brothers have business to do and can't stay in the camp for a long time. I would also like to trouble you to slightly modify the gunpowder before leaving so that it can be used easily.

Zhang Zhenren will use it to attack the city in the future."

Hearing what he said, everyone realized that this was what he had been thinking about in a trance before. They all looked away and continued to eat and drink. Li Zhongyong nodded and said, "Okay, let's stay here for one night and leave early tomorrow morning."

"You and the boss will stay here for one night," Chen Liqiu said. "The three of us have gone out. There is no one in charge of Shuzhou right now. I will rush back first and prepare the carriages and horses in advance. When you go back tomorrow, we will set off immediately.

"

He said, "Third Senior Brother, you don't have to be too anxious. We left some money with the imperial court when we left. Now that we are about to regain Hanzhong, the new army can be self-sufficient in money and food in a short time without the imperial court allocating subsidies."

Chen Liqiu looked up and did not answer.

After successfully diverting everyone's attention, I began to think about finding a reasonable reason to stay in the military camp for a few more days. To say that I stayed in the military camp for no purpose would be to deceive myself, but to say that I had a clear purpose would be unfair to a good person.

I can only say that I still have some ideas, and there are two reasons why I have certain ideas. One is what Chen Liqiu said to him on the way here, and the other is that I seem to have grown up.

To be fair, deliberately delaying in the military camp for a few days at this time is really a bit overweight, because everyone on our side had finally managed to lure the Japanese pirates back to Japan and gained some opportunities. However, the emperor was transferred to a subcontract and they could only rush back to rescue him and were delayed from Chang'an.

After a few days, I rushed to Hanzhong to assist in the battle and was delayed for several more days. The little advantage I finally gained was now running out. If I stayed in the military camp any longer, I would probably lose the opportunity completely.

Invisibly, variables and difficulties have been added to the subsequent search for and protection of earthly branches.

If military and national affairs are delayed because of indulging in children's personal affairs, is it not a case of lust and putting the cart before the horse?

But just leaving like this, it felt like something was missing. The two of them couldn't see each other often. Later, he and Datou and others would have to travel to various places in Kyushu, so seeing each other again was far away.

Just when he was hesitating and entangled, the curtain was

After opening it, Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo walked in.

Seeing the two people arriving, everyone in the tent left their seats and stood up. Before anyone could put down the food in their hands, Zhang Shan waved his hand and said, "We are all our own people, so there is no need to be polite. Go on and eat."

Although Zhang Shan had no airs, everyone in the tent still put down their food and greeted him with their hands.

Zhang Shan came here to formally thank everyone. This battle was a complete victory, and everyone in the tent should remember it as the first achievement.

Zhang Shan knew very well that everyone came to help the battle out of personal feelings rather than public motives, but he did not mention personal feelings at all, and only defined it as public affairs. He only said that he would ask for credit and reward for everyone in the victory memorial that would be presented to the emperor later.

.

After thanking Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo, they turned around and left. Everyone in the tent wanted to go out and see each other off, but Zhang Shan waved his hand to stop them.

I was already conflicted about whether to stay in the military camp for a few more days. After seeing Zhang Mo, I became more conflicted. As long as I see Zhang Mo, I will be in a good mood even if I do nothing. If I do something a little bit,

I guess I will feel better.

After lunch, everyone lay down to rest again. Batulu knew that he was snoring and was worried about disturbing everyone, so he ran to the stable of the back camp to sleep with Huo Qilin.

After lying down this time, I didn't fall asleep again. My mind was filled with Zhang Mo's voice and smile, which I couldn't get rid of.

This feeling of being restless and distracted makes me feel uncomfortable. I try hard to divert my attention and think about other things, but all my efforts are in vain. My mind seems to be confused, my thoughts cannot be coherent, and I am completely out of state when thinking about other things.

.

At sunset, everyone woke up one after another. After simply cleaning up, Chen Liqiu said goodbye to everyone. Shuzhou was leaderless and he had to rush back to Shuzhou overnight.

After leaving the tent to see Chen Liqiu off, the four of them looked at him with questioning eyes. They all knew that the situation was serious and time was running out. Now that things were going on here, they were seeking opinions on whether to leave as soon as possible.

I wanted to stay for a night on the grounds that everyone was injured, but then I thought that I was also injured. Even if I stayed for a night, I probably wouldn't have the chance to be alone with Zhang Mo. In addition, the war had just ended, and Zhang Shan, Zhang Mo and others needed to

There was no time to spend with him while he was cleaning up the aftermath and reorganizing his soldiers. There was no point in staying here all night. It was better to leave earlier.

After making up his mind, he raised his hand to Datou and the others, "Clean up and let's go."

Datou and others nodded in agreement,

Go back to the military tent and pack your luggage.

"Lao Wu, you are injured and your horses are tired, so please take care of yourself." Li Zhongyong warned with concern.

"The skin injury is not a problem," he lowered his voice at this point, "Second senior brother, there are many dangers in the ancient tombs, you should also pay attention to safety."

Li Zhongyong nodded and turned around to go, "I'll call the boss."

"Don't disturb him, let him continue sleeping." He reached out and held Li Zhongyong.

After a while, everyone packed up. Young Master Black and three horses were not far from the military tent. Big Hair called Miss Bai. Everyone rode on their horses, said goodbye to Li Zhongyong, and headed to the Chinese military tent to meet Zhang Shanhe.

Zhang Mo said goodbye.

The camp was very large, and the military tent where our troops rested was far away from the Chinese army's tent. On their way to the Chinese army's tent, the five of them discovered that Zhang Shan and a group of generals were arranging their troops to surrender on the battlefield due east of the camp.

Just when he turned the horse's head and wanted to say goodbye to Zhang Shan, Zhang Mo came over from not far away and asked, "Where are you going?"

He stood up and dismounted, "The fighting here is over, it's time for us to leave."

"You are all injured, how can you just leave?" Zhang Mo frowned.

"The matter is of great importance, and time waits for no one." He shook his head and said.

Zhang Mo knew that the others shouldered a heavy responsibility, so he did not try to persuade them to stay in vain, "Even if I have to leave, it won't take more than an hour and a half. You go back to the camp and rest for a while. Later, my brother will call you for a discussion."

Hearing Zhang Mo's words, Datou immediately answered, "Your Majesty, our mounts are not as good as Master Hei's, and they cannot run fast day and night. We will set out first. You can handle the military affairs here and then join us in Shenzhou, okay?"

He didn't answer immediately after hearing this, because he wasn't sure if Datou's words were just casual or had a deeper meaning.

Without waiting to speak, Yang Kai and the others nodded in agreement, "Yes, in order to save time, let's go first."

"That's fine." He nodded in agreement.

After receiving his consent, Datou and others said goodbye to Zhang Mo, then each rode on horseback and left the camp to go north.

Watching everyone go away, Zhang Mo walked to his side and said, "Brother didn't keep you here to discuss matters, it was me who kept you here."

He was young and thin-skinned. Hearing Zhang Mo's words made him feel embarrassed. "They also noticed it."

Zhang Mo smiled and said, "There is a lot of noise in the camp, so go for a walk."

He nodded in agreement and walked forward slowly with Zhang Mo.

"You have an injury on your leg, so you'd better ride a horse." Zhang

Mo said.

"No, it's nothing serious." He shook his head and said.

At this time, our own soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield with torches, and a large amount of loot was continuously transported back to the camp, including weapons, horses, clothes and armor. Among the rebels were rhinoceros soldiers. Although the rhinoceros armor worn by the rhinoceros soldiers who died in the battle had Although they were damaged, they were also ripped off. These rhinoceros armors can still be used after being repaired.

The two had been separated for a long time, and for a moment they didn't know what to say to Zhang Mo. Just when he was thinking about how to speak, a carriage carrying the body of an ox passed by the two of them.

"Where did the cow come from?" he asked casually.

"Not only are we short of horses, the rebels are also short of horses. They use ox carts to carry their supplies," Zhang Mo said.

"What are you doing bringing back a dead cow?" he asked again.

"Eat it." Zhang Mo said.

Hearing Zhang Mo's words, he frowned. Although the Taoist priests in the Shangqing Dynasty could not help eating meat, they did not eat four things, namely cows, dogs, black fish, and wild geese.

Seeing the frown, Zhang Mo explained casually, "Don't do to others what you want to do to yourself. We are Taoist priests, but soldiers are not Taoist priests. Although we don't eat beef, we shouldn't prohibit soldiers from eating it."

Hearing this, he nodded slowly. What Zhang Mo said did make sense. As the saying goes, seek common ground while reserving differences. You can abide by some rules, but you should not force others to follow them.

While the two were talking, they came outside the camp gate. Zhang Mo casually took off the reins of a war horse and turned to get on the horse.

Not sure why, he tilted his head to look at her.

Zhang Mo said, "You have an injury on your leg, let's just ride a horse."

After hearing what Zhang Mo said, he got on his horse and walked alongside Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo did not go east, but rode south.

After a while, the two gradually moved away from the camp, turned around and looked back at the camp and the battlefield, "How many soldiers did we lose in this battle?"

"More than thirty thousand." Zhang Mo replied.

"The new army lacks training, and once it is put into actual combat, its shortcomings will become apparent," he said. "Fortunately, we have recruited hundreds of thousands of surrendered soldiers. I am also worried that the surrendered soldiers will defect during the subsequent siege battle, so I just

They will be warned sternly so that they will not dare to be rebellious again."

"You have thought carefully." Zhang Mo nodded.

He has never been with the opposite sex before, and he doesn’t know what to say in this situation. He doesn’t know how to sweet talk, and he disdains the oath of love, because in his opinion, any words spoken will be frivolous, and true love should not be
