Chapter 412: It is better to die in battle than to starve to death
Most of the ground nests were deep on the ground. Molo bent over and walked into his ground nest with Wu Ling. It was very cramped inside, and the tall Molo couldn't even stretch his waist. The deepest part of the ground nest was covered with a pile of hay, covered with a few animal skins. Near the door, he built a circle with stones. Inside, most of the burned firewood was emitting green smoke, which made the ground nests smog, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.
Wu Ling didn't seem to care about Moro. After entering the ground, he threw the knife into the corner with a bang, took off his cold armor in a few seconds, and there was another jingle of armor leaves hitting, and the armor piled up on the side in a mess.
After doing all this, Wu Ling pulled out some dead grass and stuffed it into the fire, half-lying down, puffed his cheeks and blew it. After a while, the bright flames lit up, the smoke dissipated, and some warmth slowly appeared in the ground nest.
"I thought I was already in a miserable life, but I didn't expect you to be much worse than me." Looking at Wu Ling, Mo Luo sighed and said with emotion, Wu Ling, Wu Shixiong, and the two most powerful generals under Wu Xin are much younger than Wu Shixiong. In Mo Luo's image, he is a handsome young man, but now he is not much better than the skeletons outside.
Wu Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, chuckled: "Missing? This is not your fault. King, if you hadn't killed General Wu Xin, would we have fallen to this point today? I thought you must be proud of yourself now, but seeing you like this, I remembered that I had found me here, and I must have had a very unsatisfactory life. I am so happy!"
"I didn't kill Wu Xin." Mo Luo shook his head and said, "Wu Ling, at this point, I don't need to lie to you."
"The tide is born in the blue sea. Who in the world knows that this is your unique skill!" Wu Ling sneered.
Mo Luo shook his head: "Besides my master, there is another one you forgot about, Luo Yishui. You are hiding in the deep mountains, maybe you don't know about this? During the battle between Qi and Chu, Luo Yishui suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Do you know who is with him?"
"General Luo Yishui Luo!" Wu Ling exclaimed, "He is still alive?" For the soldiers of Yue Kingdom, Luo Yishui is indeed a god-like figure.
"He is not only alive, but also with Li Feng, the leader of the Taiping Army. Oh, wrong, that guy didn't call Li Feng but Qin Feng. Luo Yishui actually mingled with Qin Feng." Mo Luo shook his head and sighed: "I always thought he was dead. After all, when Qi was chasing him, all the elites were out. Even if I were the masters, I would retreat. I never expected that not only did not die, he was still alive, and even went to kill Wu Xin."
"General Luo killed General Wu Xin?" Wu Ling widened his eyes, "Why?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Mo Luo shook his head and sighed: "He is with that Qin Feng. I don't know what Qin Feng used to make his junior brother use for him, but Wu Xin must have killed him. The blue sea has tides. Apart from the master, there are only two people in the world who are Luo Yishui and I have trained."
"Luo Yishui is your junior brother. Is there any difference between him and you?" Wu Ling looked at Mo Luo fiercely.
"Is there no difference?" Mo Luo stared at Wu Ling, "If you knew that Luo Yishui killed him, would you all join forces to find me to avenge the so-called revenge? Will we both kill each other so much and suffer heavy losses?"
He smiled bitterly: "The Taiping Army was the one who got the advantage in the end. I understood it too late, but Wu Shixiong would never understand it."
"How do I know whether you said it is true or false?" Wu Ling took a deep breath.
"Luo Yishui reappeared and shook the world. Who knows, who doesn't know, oh, by the way, you really don't know in this deep mountain forest, but as long as you go out, you will know all this." Mo Luo said: "There is the Lu Yifan, you should be very familiar with it, right?"
Wu Ling nodded.
"He is now a senior general of the Taiping Army." Mo Luo said: "Wu Xin has been wise all her life, but she finally fell into the hands of this man. Now I understand why Qin Feng and Luo Yishui can accurately grasp Wu Xin's whereabouts, and why after Wu Xin's death, you would have raised troops to revenge so quickly. The role of Lu Yifan in this should be quite good!"
Wu Ling fell silent.
"What are the benefits of killing Wu Xin?" Mo Luo said: "No matter how stupid I am, I know that Wu Shixiong is Wu Xin's iron subordinate. Wouldn't he be with me if he kills him without killing you? I want to kill you, summon you to Changyang County City, and kill you easily, and there is still a lot of trouble? As long as I think about who will benefit in the end, it is not difficult to understand who is behind the scenes. Unfortunately, it is too late to say that now."
Wu Ling looked at Mo Luo who was a little depressed, and believed it 80% in his heart. But the anger in his heart did not weaken much. Looking at Mo Luo, he said coldly: "From the beginning, you just used General Wu Xin. In your heart, we former generals of the imperial court were not your confidants. If you obeyed General Wu Xin's advice from the beginning, not to attack Shayang County, but to attack Zhengyang County, we had already taken down Zhengyang County and entered the capital. At that time, Zhengyang County was extremely empty, and the heavy troops of the court confronted the Qin people at the border. This was an unprecedented good opportunity. If we could do this, the old man Liu from Shayang County would inevitably fall to our side. He was just a success. But you were going to attack Shayang County. Old man Liu's Shayang County was his own family, so it was not that easy to fight!"
Speaking of this, Wu Ling sighed, "One step is wrong, every step is wrong. Even if the Taiping Army does not appear, it will be difficult for us to take down all Shayang County. After the court reacted, the Hu Ben Army entered Zhengyang County and Yuejing City began to be on high alert, but this opportunity was gone."
Molo nodded: "When I think about it now, what Wu Xin said is right, I did make a mistake."
Wu Ling laughed: "King, don't you have the Chu people to rely on now? Why are you not doing well? Why are you here to find us refugees?"
Molo ignored Wu Ling's sarcasm, reached out and threw a piece of firewood into the fire, looked at the splashing sparks, and said, "The Chu people just want to use me. Now I am trapped in Baoqing and have to live on their charity. I have already lost the value of utilization. They have already planned to betray me."
Wu Ling was keen and understood the truth after thinking for a moment: "The Chu people wanted to stab the people in the back. You don't have this ability, but now the Taiping Army has it, so they began to contact the Taiping Army. If they want to unite with the Taiping Army, you must get rid of you, right?"
"You're right. Do you know that Qin Feng, the leader of the Taiping Army, was the Qin Feng who was the death camp of the western border army in the Chu army? Princess Zhaohua is now his wife, and she has also followed him to Taiping City." Mo Luo said: "The Chu people are going to destroy me and please Qin Feng, it's very obvious. How can I sit and wait for death?"
"What are you looking for me with Chu Renhuo?" Wu Ling poked the fire with a stick and the sparks scattered.
Molo spread his hands and said frankly: "I can't beat them."
Wu Ling laughed: "You still have so many people who can't beat them. Is this little man enough for them to get stuck in their teeth? Look at my soldiers, how much strength do they have to fight?"
"That's not necessarily!" Molo picked up a stick and drew it on the ground for a while, "This is Baoqing map. This is Baoqing Port, and here is Shangqinglin where I am stationed now, and you, Jigongling, here." Throwing away the stick, Molo looked at Wuling and said, "Now there are five thousand people in Baoqing, about three thousand people stationed opposite me, one thousand people stationed between Baoqing and Baoxing to guard against the Taiping Army, and the other thousand people are in Baoqing Port."
Looking at the map, Wu Ling's eyes slowly lit up: "My head is empty."
"In their eyes, you no longer exist, or they think that troops like the Shuntian Army will inevitably collapse once they fail, and you have been hiding in the deep mountains and forests and never showed up. If they can't find you, they will determine that you have dispersed. This is an opportunity. I will forcibly attack from the front, and as long as you see the opportunity, penetrate into Baoqing's hinterland, and then attack their backs, we will win this battle."
Wu Ling's bright eyes dimmed again: "Why should I go to fight hard for you? So what if I win the Chu army?"
"Sales a bite of food and seeking a way to survive!" Molo took a deep breath: "Look at your soldiers, are they still humans? If this continues, they will starve to death. You have already started eating human flesh. Don't you know? If this continues, are they still humans? Now they only eat dead people, and after a while, they will eat living people. Don't you want to find a way to survive for them?"
Wu Ling's breathing became heavier.
"As long as we work together, we can take over Baoqing Port, where there are piles of materials and grains. With these, we can eat well and launch a fierce attack on Baoxing's Taiping Army. As long as we can break out of Baoqing, we have a way out. And like now, you will be starved to death, and I will be betrayed by the Chu people. The left and right are dead, why not fight? It's not for anyone, but for being able to survive."
Wu Ling stood up, walked to the door of the earthen nest, poked out half of his body, looked at the dense earthen nests and the moving skeleton racks, and after a while, he finally turned around.
"It's a knife to stretch your head, and a knife to shrink your head. I did it this time, but after I captured Baoqing, I would leave after I got the grain I deserved. With this grain, I can survive this winter. After this winter, we will find a way out and I will not follow you anymore."
"No problem, I will give you one more at that time, and then you can leave it alone." Molo's eyes lit up, "But how many soldiers do you still have combat power now?"
