Chapter 427: Black Tablet

Chapter 430

After experiencing the fear of death and finally ushering in victory, it is also appropriate to be so presumptuous.

But there are people in the cottage who are so drunk that they can need people to guard against incoming enemies. Cheng Dalei left the street alone and walked to the head of the city to check the city defense.

There were guards patrolling the city, always guarding against incoming enemies, and when they saw Cheng Dalei appearing, they immediately straightened their waists and clenched the spears in their hands.

"Big boss!"

Cheng Dalei nodded, straightened the hat for the other party, it was still winter, and he had to stand on the head of the city to resist a gust of wind. It wasn't a good job, but luckily everyone was on high alert and didn't slack off because of the hardships.

"Today is a celebration party, you work harder, wait for the change of guard, and go for a drink. "Cheng Dalei.

"Yes!" a team of ten people puffed out their chests at the same time.

In fact, Cheng Dalei doesn't know what their names are, I don't know if they were summoned by themselves, or the children of the displaced people who migrated here, but after all, it doesn't matter, since they came here, they are their own brothers, and Cheng Dalei is now responsible for them.

"Big boss, when are we going to fight again?"

"Do you like ...... Fighting?" Cheng Dalei looked a little confused.

"Well, when will we go to Chang'an, and also give those officials some color to see. The guard excitedly.

Cheng Dalei shook his head helplessly and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Report to the great master, seventeen. ”

"I'm only seventeen years old. Cheng Dalei sighed and patted him on the shoulder with his hand: "Work hard, when you can contribute." ”

"Yes. ”

Cheng Dalei walked down the city alone, did not return to the city, but walked to the wasteland outside the city. It is the time of winter and spring, and the endless wasteland, although there are plants and trees emerging new green in the black earth, the weather is still terrifyingly cold.

Outside the city, there is a cemetery in Toad City.

After the cremation of the brothers who died in battle, old age, disease, and wounds, the ashes are buried here, and there are tombstones erected on the ground, and their places of origin and names are engraved on the black granite. Many people's bodies could not be found at all, that is, a few pieces of clothing they had before they were buried. As long as you are buried with your brothers, you can be considered home.

This time the city of Toads won another battle, and again, a new tombstone was erected in the cemetery. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Cheng Dalei never exaggerated this matter, but he would always come over to take a look when he had time.

On the wasteland, there is a forest of black steles that cannot be seen at a glance, and the names engraved on it represent a young or old life. Compared with three years ago, Toad City is indeed getting stronger and stronger, and with it, more and more black monuments have been erected.

Cheng Dalei met Liu Bei in the Forest of Steles, he was wrapped in a sheepskin jacket and drank silently alone. When Cheng Dalei walked over, he didn't say anything, just handed over the wine gourd.

Cheng Dalei took a sip and handed it back to him. The two sat side by side for a while, Liu Bei yawned, and stopped talking.

"Big Boss ......"

A voice broke the silence of the stele forest, and He Shen walked over quickly and came to Cheng Dalei's side.

Some people get drunk at the celebration banquet, but there are also people who stay awake at all times. Liu Bei, Cheng Dalei, and He Shen are all this kind of people.

"I guessed that the big boss was here, so I came here on purpose. "And Shen Dao.

"Uh...... What's the matter?" Cheng Dalei was a little absent-minded.

"Great boss, I have already sent someone to count the amount of loot, and this time we can say that we have a good harvest. There is another thing that I must report to the big boss. In front of me, it's a rare opportunity......"

"What chance?"

He Shen came in a hurry, and obviously gasped for breath at this moment.

"Big boss, Song Bokang sent 100,000 people to Chang'an, and now the remaining troops in Liangzhou City are only 50,000, and after this battle, we have eliminated a lot. Now, the defense of Liangzhou City is empty, if we take the opportunity to attack, we will definitely be able to take Liangzhou City in one fell swoop. After that, the other forces in Liangzhou will be purged, and the entire Liangzhou will be our world. ”

Tut......

Cheng Dalei gasped, if it wasn't for He Shen's reminder, he would have forgotten about it.

The world is in turmoil, the word "court" is already in name only, and the struggle between various forces is not stopped.

Now Cheng Dalei has a lot of soldiers in his hands, and after this battle, his combat effectiveness is not weak. If you want to take Liangzhou City, it is indeed the best opportunity in front of you.

"Liangzhou City is a big city, and it is not easy to defeat it. Moreover, the people of other cities may not be able to rush to help, and when the time comes, we will be attacked by the enemy, but we will be in danger?"

"Don't worry about this matter, we have already inquired about the specific situation. There are seven cities in Liangzhou, and there are five passes on the border with the Rong people, of course, the original Qinchuan Pass is also one of them. These twelve forces, logically speaking, are all under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou Mu. But this is not the case, among them there are also people from the General's Palace. Let's send someone to infiltrate Liangzhou City first, with Bai Yuanfei here, this is not too much of a problem. Then launch a strong attack to settle the battle in a short time, and other cities may not react. ”

He Shen said in detail, it seems that he has made a lot of preparations before, and He Shen's ambition is not small, and he began to fight the idea of the entire Liangzhou very early.

But the problem is that Cheng Dalei has no such ambitions, and he is the first time he has begun to think about it. Heshen's method is not necessarily impossible, of course, you need to take some risks, but the greater the risk, the greater the gain.

However, Cheng Dalei has not made up his mind for a while.

"Big boss......" He Shen called.

Cheng Dalei, who was suddenly distracted, reacted, pondered for a moment and said: "This matter should be slow rather than urgent, once Liangzhou City is defeated, the balance of power in Liangzhou will inevitably be broken." At that time, a chaotic Liangzhou may not be what we want to see. The reaction of the refugees and other forces should be taken into account, and this matter should be considered in the long run. ”

He Shen understood Cheng Dalei's hesitation, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Now that the matter is now, what does the big boss want, should we tell us, and we have a way to go." ”

Cheng Dalei was stunned, he naturally understood He Shen's words. In fact, at the very beginning, He Shen asked this question about Cheng Da Lei.

The troubled times are just around the corner, does Cheng Dalei want to chase the world, or choose the master...... He has a direction, and his subordinates have a direction. Today's Toad City can already have a full meal, but after eating a full meal, he began to think about something that he didn't have, and he was crowned the king and worshiped the prime minister, and expanded his territory......

The problem is that Cheng Dalei didn't think about it himself. He doesn't have the feelings to help the world, he wants to be alone.

But troubled times are a zero-sum game, either you take it all, or you have nothing.
