Chapter 534 He is Shen Changgong
In the subconscious of this Jianghu man, the Qi army was either dead or incorporated. How could the Qi army still exist?
He immediately became interested in the veteran's story.
"Brother, can you tell me about your experience? I'll buy you a drink."
"What do you mean by treat or not? I still have some money, so I don't need it. My experience is a joke if I tell you about it, but it's all in the past. I'll tell you about it, and you can laugh at it if you want."
At this time, the dishes were served. They were the dishes ordered by the old soldier, and he invited the wanderers to eat together.
It was very quiet on the side of Shen Changgong and others. Most people were looking at the old soldier, waiting for him to tell his story.
He also wanted to know why a disabled veteran of the Qi army, who had clearly escaped, did not go home but instead fled to the border.
The old soldier took a bite of the food and said while eating,
"I'm not from here. I'm from Heqi County."
"Heqi County? Isn't that the northernmost county? How did you end up in Shanghuai County, the southernmost county?"
"Because... my home is gone."
The old soldier's eyes were full of vicissitudes of life, and he said,
"I'm originally from Heqi County. My parents died a long time ago, so I couldn't get married and was left alone. Later, when they recruited young men, I signed up and served in the army for several years. I was always a local soldier.
Later, he was transferred to Xingyang Pass to guard against the Yan army's southward advance.
It is said that the army sent out to fight was destroyed by the Yan army.
We followed our commander Cui Xin back to the county seat of Heqi Commandery and fought there.
Before the Yan army crossed the river, Cui Xin sent me to Pushin County to inform the army there, and he also gave me a horse, which is the horse outside.
But when I was almost at Pushin County and passed by my village, I found that everyone there had died, the houses had been demolished, and all the food had been looted."
The Jianghu guest frowned when he heard this.
"Did the Yan people do it? Don't the Yan people kill civilians?"
The old soldier smiled bitterly and said,
"You're not listening carefully. I told you, the Yan people hadn't crossed the river yet. How could they possibly massacre the village?"
Hearing this, the Jianghu guest's eyes narrowed sharply and he asked angrily,
"Was it the Qi army who did it?"
As soon as he said this, the restaurant instantly became quiet.
Those who come here to eat at this time are generally relatively free and have nothing to do, so they naturally listen to the veterans' stories.
The old soldier sighed and said,
"With a sorrowful heart, I went to Pushin County and reported the enemy situation to the general there.
Then I carefully asked what was going on.
In the end, the general slapped me twice and said I didn't understand the concept of fortifying the city and clearing the countryside, and that I couldn't leave any food for the Yan army.
The Jianghu guest sighed deeply and said,
"Damn it, just to stop giving food to the Yan army, you're going to rob the people of their food?
In order to prevent the Yan army from killing the civilians, he killed all the civilians himself?
Is this general's brain full of shit? What a fucking beast.
The Yan people didn't kill the civilians, but it was the Qi army that did."
Not only were the Jianghu guests cursing, but the guests in the southern half of the lobby also started cursing.
Even the waiter sitting at the door looked indignant.
The old soldier sighed and drank another glass of wine, finally letting go of his burden and opening up.
"At that time, I was filled with grief and anger. Although my parents had passed away, the villagers and old neighbors, all these familiar faces, were gone.
I had no choice but to sit in a corner and cry, but after crying I had to continue serving in the army."
Hearing this, a hot-tempered man in the distance slammed the table and stood up, pointing at the old soldier and shouting,
"Are you still a man? The villagers haven't been killed yet, and you're still serving them as a soldier?
If one day all the villagers in Luyao Town were killed, I would risk my life to avenge them."
The old soldier smiled bitterly and said,
"If it was the Yan people who killed them, I would definitely risk my life to avenge them, but it was the Qi people who killed them.
I am just a soldier, so I can only do whatever the general tells me to do.
To put it nicely, I have to defend my country.
To be honest, I can't do anything else except serve in the army. I have to eat."
Everyone sighed.
The Jianghu guest said,
"Brother, ignore them and continue talking."
"Two days later, I rode back to report, and I happened to see General Cui Xin opening the city and surrendering.
I understand him, he doesn't want his fellow villagers to die.
Xingyang County was lost, Xingyang Pass was lost, we suffered another defeat, and Heqi County was also lost.
I had no choice but to return to Pushin County, and was almost caught up by the scouts of the Yan army.
After returning to Pushin County, I continued to serve in the army and prepare for war.
The Yan army attacked again, with five or six hundred thousand people, divided into nine troops, attacking nine cities in two counties in one breath.
Each one took a day to capture the city.
We lost again. I have a horse that runs fast.
Haha, my old friend has saved my life time and time again."
The old soldier smiled bitterly.
"I ran all the way to Linzi, where I was accepted and allowed to fight.
Later, the emperor was about to flee, taking 150,000 people with him and leaving 150,000 behind.
The damn emperor threw his wife, the queen, to Linzi and let her lead the troops to fight.
As for me, I was assigned to the emperor's team and followed him south.
As a result, the Yan army did not attack Linzi, but instead attacked him in the middle of the night.
It was then that I realized that the emperor had received the news in advance and fled, leaving us as cannon fodder.
We were defeated again in a night attack.
There is no way. The Yan army’s divine thunder can kill dozens of people at once, and the Yan army’s artillery can fire several miles away.
The cavalry of the Yan army was invincible and no army could stop it.
I was defeated again and again, and I ran faster than the wind, riding my horse all the way south.
Most of the Qi State was lost just like that.
Later, I ran to Xuzhou, where our team was, and I went to join Marshal Tong.
News came from the north that the queen had also been defeated and had defected to the Yan army, becoming a general of the Yan army.
What kind of world is this? Even women can become generals, and even the queen can defect to the enemy."
Everyone sighed again and discussed the matter in a low voice.
Someone shouted,
"Old soldier, tell me quickly, what happened next? Did you fight with the Yan army?"
"Hit, beaten."
The old soldier smiled bitterly and drank.
"Later, I followed General Tong to Weishan Commandery, where he told me that the Wei army had broken into Xuzhou and killed the emperor.
Everyone was shouting to avenge the emperor, and I joined in the shouting in a daze, but I didn't know why I was shouting.
Then, General Tong died, and I was stationed in Xuzhou.
Then a month later, the Yan people attacked again."
Someone asked,
"The Yan people attacked us. Did you fight back? How did you fight? Did you win?"
"Win?"
The veteran's eyes were filled with deep fear and despair.
"Haha, how can we win? That's Shen Changgong.
The commander-in-chief of Dayan, Lanling King Shen Changgong, was invincible and unstoppable.
No one in this world can defeat him.
He is Shen Changgong..."
