Chapter 396 You even lied to yourself
Fairy Meiyan pouted her rosy lips and snorted coldly,
"You are such a cold-hearted person. You are the one with the most twisted ideas."
"Hahaha."
Looking at her cute appearance, Shen Changgong couldn't help but bend down and bite her lips.
Gongsun Wan'er happened to run in at this time and said after seeing this scene,
"It seems I came at the wrong time."
"No, you came just in time."
Shen Changgong pulled her over and held her in his arms again.
……
The next day, the army continued its advance, carrying dozens of Yellow Turban captives.
These people were untied and pushed carts like slaves, doing the most tiring and dirty work.
They pushed carts during the march, cleaned toilets during the camp, ate leftovers, and slept in leaky tents.
It can be described as extremely miserable.
They were always surrounded by fully armed soldiers guarding them. They couldn't run away even if they wanted to, and any attempt to commit suicide would only result in beatings.
Later in the journey, the Yan army encountered two waves of small-scale ambushes, but they were discovered early by the hot air balloons, and then a large army was sent to kill or capture them alive.
These people are not even willing to use yellow earth and green grass to disguise themselves.
It can be seen that there is no common sense of counter-reconnaissance at all.
Soon the number of prisoners reached several hundred.
Like their predecessors, these people did the most tiring work, went to the county town with the Yan army, and then waited to be killed.
Seven days later, the army finally arrived outside the county seat of Shuozhou County.
The county town was located in a large flat land, and there was also rare flat land outside. The Yan army set up camp and began to send scouts to patrol the surrounding area.
It was getting late today, so they decided not to attack the city first. Shen Changgong took the generals and took a quick look at the city defenses.
On the tall city walls of the county town, the long-lost Kun Kingdom Fire Phoenix flag appeared, filled with densely packed yellow heads.
Shen Changgong took a telescope and observed these people.
Common yellow turbans are the most numerous, there are also quite a few small yellow croakers, and a few large yellow croakers.
According to intelligence, the small yellow croakers are all at the level of a thousand-man captain, and the big yellow croakers are the eight flying generals.
The pale-faced, weak young man in the middle wearing a yellow dragon robe should be their puppet emperor.
The little emperor looked fair and tender, and indeed looked like a rich young master, but his face was pale and he looked very weak.
Sitting next to him was a man with an immortal look that looked like a Taoist priest. He had a few strands of white hair on his temples and was holding a cane in his hand.
He should be the leader of the Yellow Croaker Sect, and now the national teacher of the pseudo Kun Kingdom.
The imperial teacher obviously noticed Shen Changgong as well. He picked up the crutch in his hand and poked Shen Changgong hard from a distance.
Shen Changgong, holding the telescope, sneered.
"Exposed domineering attitude, seeking death!"
At this time, a little yellow croaker came running over from the top of the city wall and said to the national teacher,
"Master, that man is Shen Changgong, there's no doubt about it. During the battle in Yangbei County last year, I saw him from afar, and he looked exactly like this."
The Imperial Master looked at him coldly and said,
"What are you afraid of? Shen Changgong only has two arms and a head. He will die if his head is chopped off. Why don't we just go into battle tomorrow and kill him?"
"But...but that's the Yan army, that's the Yan army..."
The old soldier was obviously frightened during the battle of Yangbei County.
He had seen the power of the artillery with his own eyes. That one shot could directly break down the city gate.
So he immediately told the imperial teacher this information.
The Imperial Master snorted coldly, drew the sword from his waist, and stabbed the little yellow croaker to death with one blow.
"Hmph, you are spreading lies to confuse the people and deceive the soldiers. All you know is nonsense all day long. What can break down the city gate? Even a catapult has a gate hole to protect it.
My Dakun Yellow Turban Army is invulnerable to swords and spears, so why would I be afraid of their tiny Yan army?
Anyone who misleads the army again will be executed without mercy!"
Lying is not terrible, but some people believe the lies they tell.
You can fool your friends, but don’t fool yourself.
Now the leader is in a difficult situation. He must convince himself that they are invulnerable.
If even he is shaken, the morale of the army will be lost.
As for the artillery, in the leader's opinion, it was complete nonsense. How could there be something in the world that could shoot two miles away? How could there be something that could destroy the city gate in one go?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
I have never seen it = it does not exist in this world.
Many ignorant frogs in the well have this understanding.
It's not just the leader.
At this time, the surrounding soldiers, hearing what the leader said, were also greatly encouraged. They followed the leader, facing the western sun, raised their right fists, excitedly with tears in their eyes, and shouted in unison,
"Loyalty! Loyalty! Loyalty!"
The leader nodded in satisfaction, and then said to the trembling little emperor beside him,
"Your Majesty, you are tired. I will take you back to rest."
"well."
The little emperor Yuan Xun nodded repeatedly.
The two men went down the city wall and got on the carriage.
The little emperor's face was pale, his mind full of the endless Yan army camp outside, which was filled with the black Yan army.
He looked so scared.
Now, his mind was filled with the images of those ferocious Yan soldiers rushing into the city and hacking him to death.
After returning to the Imperial Palace (government office), the county governor Zhao De hurriedly came forward and clasped his hands and said,
"Greetings to His Majesty, Imperial Master. How is the Yan army? Is it vulnerable?"
The Imperial Master nodded and said,
"Yes, they are too weak. We can defeat them in just one day tomorrow."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Zhao De nodded repeatedly, but secretly groaned in his heart.
He is not a Kun person, but a Yan person.
After he arrived here and became the county magistrate, the Yellow Croaker Cult began to send him money. He fell for this sugar-coated inducement and felt that the Yellow Croaker Cult had to be sensible.
Unexpectedly, the Yellow Croaker Cult grew bigger and bigger, and he collected more and more money. He was already in a difficult situation and was firmly tied to the Yellow Croaker Cult's warship.
Everything in this world has a price tag. You have to pay as much as you get.
The imperial teacher and the little emperor came into the bedroom.
The little emperor sat on the bed and asked timidly,
"National Master, can we really defeat the Yan army?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. The Yan army is nothing but a bunch of dirt and clay dogs. They are vulnerable to attack. Tomorrow, I will take Shen Changgong's head and bring it to you."
"Forget it. I'm afraid of seeing dead people."
"Your Majesty, you cannot be so weak. How can you govern Dakun and be the ruler of a country in the future?"
"Then...should I be tougher?"
The little emperor raised his head and said timidly.
The Imperial Master looked at his cowardly appearance and suddenly smiled.
"Forget it, this is fine too. You just need to listen to me."
"Yes, yes, I will listen to you. Whatever the Imperial Master says is what I will do."
"That's good. Come, Your Majesty, take off your pants and let me help you with your magic."
"Okay, Imperial Master, please be gentle."
