-Ten days before Hanzhou City in the seventeenth year of Gude-
Wei Lin never understood why Jiang was so angry. Some words just can't come out of his mouth, just like he doesn't want to spit out the meat he eats. He didn't want Jiang to follow him to support Qinguan, he just didn't want Jiang to have an accident. Even if Xue Ziqin took him with him at the time, with his old injury still unhealed, he was not fully sure that he could protect Jiang Ye well.
After Jiang Ye left, he was always worried, and he couldn't know what happened on the front line. He dreamed several times that Jiang Ye stood in front of him drenched in blood, and then fell down and never woke up.
After Xue Ziqin took the people away, except for the remaining 500 elite soldiers, no one else was allowed to leave the camp. Min Qiu often strolled around the camp—to be honest, there was absolutely nothing to do. The wounded soldiers recuperate, and the logistics take care of their lives. Instead, he is a lieutenant, and he has nothing else to do every day except watch them not let them out.
On weekdays, wars, training, these things are used to, and now Min Qiu is idle, he just feels uncomfortable, completely unable to enjoy the fun of "I am the biggest in the military camp" after Xue Ziqin left.
However, this matter was still kept secret. It was the same with the soldiers that General Xue was injured and rested in the tent. No one should disturb him. Guo Linchong was sent to the city to get medicinal materials to treat the general.
In the middle of the night, Wei Lin was sitting in the open space of the military camp listening to Zhong Yi bragging, while Luo Yansheng sat obediently by the side, using a branch to pick the firewood in the fire, and he didn't know if he was listening to them.
In the absence of the general, Zhong Yi was more daring when drinking, often holding the jug in his hand and taking two sips as he spoke.
Wei Lin propped his head up and doodled on the ground with a branch. He was sitting on a rock, and there were many bumps on the rock, which made his butt hurt, but he would rather have a fire outside and chat, rather than being alone.
Zhong Yi looked at him and asked casually, "What? You're so listless when your sweetheart isn't here?"
"I said that kid, the one surnamed Jiang." Zhong Yi said, suddenly approached Wei Lin and whispered, "Didn't he go with Xiao Xue."
Only Min Qiu and Zhong Yi knew about Xue Ziqin's departure. If Wei Lin hadn't been with him in the tent that day, Wei Lin might not have known about it.
Only then did Wei Lin understand who Zhong Yi was talking about. He nodded and sighed bitterly: "Oh..." After thinking about it, he got the wrong point and asked, "Why do you call the general Xiao Xue... "
Zhong Yi smiled but didn't answer, Luo Yansheng raised his eyes and looked at Wei Lin, his eyes seemed to think he was making a fuss. Wei Lin still asked, "No, do you dare to call him that in front of him?"
"Yeah, why don't you call?" Zhong Yi said while picking up the jug, took a big sip, and continued, "I usually call the general, but in front of your group of soldiers, give him a drink. face."
Just as the two were chatting vigorously, Min Qiu passed by. He first nodded, greeted Zhong Yi, and then prepared to leave. Wei Lin grabbed the hem of his clothes: "Sit down and talk, Lieutenant General Min."
If it was changed to normal, Min Qiu would never gossip outside, especially with Wei Lin, a troublemaker. But this time is not the other time. Xue Ziqin is not there, and there is nothing in the barracks. If you can chat, that is also a good way to play time. Thinking like this, Min Qiu nodded, without making any pretense, he sat down next to Wei Lin: "What are you talking about?"
Wei Lin thief replied, "Talking about Xiao Xue."
Min Qiu was puzzled: "Xiao Xue?"
"That's right, Xiao Xue." Wei Lin seemed to take the name Zhong Yi said as his own, and his expression was serious, as if he was Xue Ziqin's elder.
Min Qiu couldn't believe it and asked tentatively, "You mean General Xue?"
"That's right, the general didn't come out... uh!" Wei Lin replied smoothly, his voice was not small, so scared that Min Qiu quickly covered his mouth: "What nonsense is it? Keep it secret!" Min Qiu lowered his voice and said, Wei Lin struggled for a while, then nodded like a smashed garlic, and Min Qiu let him go.
"Bah... Deputy General Min, I've eaten all the ashes from your hands!" Wei Lin complained. This statement made Min Qiu playful and added with a smile, "I just went to dig a hole to bury the garbage, and I didn't wash my hands."
"No vomit..." Wei Lin gestured to vomit.
Zhong Yi looked at him like that, and didn't know if it was because he was drinking or just because of Wei Lin's funny appearance, he laughed out loud.
Min Qiu did not forget to remind Wei Lin: "This matter is kept secret, don't talk nonsense."
"Why keep it a secret? It's such a big deal." Wei Lin said, "Going to support is not going to prostitutes."
Min Qiu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, so he tapped Wei Lin on the forehead: "Why are you so ignorant, you unlucky child?"
Zhong Yi was still laughing, but he was patiently explaining to Wei Lin, "Secret is that you don't want people to know."
"The old doctor in the battlefield, what you said is equivalent to saying it in vain." Wei Lin rolled his eyes.
Min Qiu reluctantly said: "In short, it's a secret, you... didn't tell anyone?" He looked at Wei Lin cautiously, wanting to get a good answer. Unexpectedly, Wei Lin scratched his hair and thought seriously: "Well..."
"Isn't there?" Min Qiu's face fell instantly.
I saw Wei Lin thought for a while, then laughed and started laughing: "Hey, it's alright, I just told one of my brothers, I didn't tell anyone else, don't worry, I'll tell him tomorrow to keep it a secret."
As soon as Wei Lin said this, Min Qiu only felt a chill behind him. He got up immediately, intending to inform the patrols and guards, and be more careful.
Min Qiu got up this time, only to realize that there were more people beside him.
"Lieutenant General Min, why are you chatting with this?" the man said. Wei Lin and Zhong Yi heard the voice and turned to see who it was. Wei Lin turned his head and smiled: "Cao Zhong, haven't you slept yet?"
Cao Zhong replied to Wei Lin with a smile: "You haven't slept here, haven't you?"
Wei Lin looked at Min Qiu again, and extended his hand to greet him: "Don't panic, this is my buddy, I just told him, don't worry, it's absolutely confidential, isn't it Cao Zhong?"
Cao Zhong smiled and did not answer.
It was too late, but it was fast. The camp was originally quiet, and no one moved except the patrollers. Suddenly, footsteps came from all directions.
In a short time, the masters of the script voice appeared - all the soldiers of the Sui country in armor.
Min Qiu's hand was already on the hilt of the knife at his waist. Wei Lin's injury had not yet healed, so he sat there, a little dazed, Zhong Yi hurriedly grabbed Luo Yansheng's hand and pulled him behind him to protect him. Then look at the person who is coming.
Then Cao Zhong said slowly: "Brother Wei didn't tell me sooner, I've already said it!"
Of course Min Qiu knew what was going on in his heart. If he could kill Cao Zhong at this moment, maybe things could be turned around. Thinking of this, he moved very lightly and wanted to draw the knife very slowly, but Cao Zhong's eyes were so good, he grabbed Min Qiu's hand holding the hilt of the knife, and Cao Zhong pushed back the knife that had just been unsheathed.
Cao Zhong said: "Deputy General Min has been marching for many years, and he knows the rule that he will never die."
Wei Lin didn't understand what was going on at this time, but he seemed to be able to guess a little bit. He hesitated, looked at Cao Zhong hesitantly and asked, "This? What's the situation?"
Min Qiu really wanted to strangle this brainless thing to death, and roared at Wei Lin: "This motherfucker is a meticulous work!"
Hearing these words, Wei Lin stood up excitedly, and he was injured by pulling at once, and his facial features were wrinkled in pain, and shouted at Cao Zhong: "Fuck you! You actually deceived my feelings!"
During the conversation, the soldiers who were still sleeping were woken up by the Sui army. They all carried knives around their necks and were taken to the center of the camp, overwhelming a large crowd.
Two soldiers immediately walked to Cao Zhong's side, saluted respectfully, and shouted loudly, "General Cao, the patrols and defenders of the city have all been dealt with, what to do with the rest?"
When Min Qiu heard the other party's name, he sneered: "This really gives us enough face, General Cao has personally involved in danger, and it is very powerful."
Cao Zhong smiled nonchalantly: "I've won the prize."
Instead, he said solemnly to his subordinates: "Throw them all to the prisoner of war camp for me, and wait for the release."
"Yes!"
As soon as the voice fell, someone came and held up the few people who were chatting just now.
The two came up from behind to hold Min Qiu, but Cao Zhong expected that Min Qiu would definitely not resist for the life of the soldiers, and had already turned around and planned to leave. Min Qiu saw this opportunity, and suddenly squatted down, pressed against the ground, and swept his legs backwards. Min Qiu took this opportunity to draw his knife quickly, grabbed Wei Lin with the other hand, and threw it to the shadow beside him.
Wei Lin never knew that Min Qiu was so strong that he was thrown into a corner and was thrown to the ground.
The commotion was strange, Cao Zhong turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that Min Qiu had already charged at the sergeant who was being held hostage with a big sword, "swoosh" with two knives, slashing the two leading Sui soldiers to the ground.
"Brothers copy the guys! Hack these bastards to death!"
The most fearful thing in a war is to be unprepared, but now, Cao Zhong and his men, who thought they were winning, didn't expect that they would still resist under a huge disadvantage.
Cao Zhong calculated everything, but he missed one point - Xue Ziqin's people were just as virtuous as Xue Ziqin, and their characteristic was that they were unreasonable.
Min Qiu, as a lieutenant general, forced the situation to open, and the people below naturally understood the meaning immediately. Those who were close to the weapon racks attacked one after another, punching and kicking the soldiers of the Sui country, and then took advantage of the gap between the opponents being knocked down. He rushed to fight. There are also people who have no weapons in their hands, and they have inherited Xue Ziqin's fine tradition of taking away the weapons when they are knocked down.
The scene suddenly became a mess, and Cao Zhong turned back and was also surprised, but he quickly reacted, and he drew his sword and joined the battle.
"Lieutenant General Min is so brave! As expected of Xue Ziqin's lieutenant!"
"Over the top, General Cao is also good at strategy. It's not a loss to be the general of the Sui country, and make good use of this kind of indiscriminate tactics!"
Cao Zhong rushed in and stared at Min Qiu, and then he and Min Qiu fought together, only to hear the sound of blades colliding, and he didn't forget to speak during the fight.
Wei Lin finally regained his senses, but his back still hurts.
There was no time for hesitation in the scene. He got up from the ground and squatted on the ground. At this moment, the knife in his hand was shot down and landed in front of Wei Lin.
Wei Lin gave an irritable "tsk", picked up the knife, endured the pain, got up and rushed into the crowd: "Fuck you're going to die again, you're going to die!"
It's a pity that Cao Zhong's plan was well-planned. The number of Sui Guo soldiers who came to Hanzhou City to support was twice as many as their group of defending soldiers. The main general was not there. Even though Min Qiu tried his best to lead his men to break through, he was eventually defeated by Cao Zhong.
Overnight, the city of Hanzhou returned to the hands of the Sui Kingdom. More than 2,000 soldiers stationed in the city, including elite soldiers borrowed from Xue Changfeng, died over 60%.
