Chapter 177 Ruan Shiping Goes Crazy
Chapter 177 Ruan Shiping Goes Crazy
At Xiyu Pass, soldiers who had just retreated from the battlefield gathered together in groups of three or four, found a piece of flat ground, and fell asleep.
"What did you say? Qingshui County was occupied by a few thousand Qingrong bastards? They even burned and massacred the village?"
In a drowsy state, Ruan Shiping heard Shen Zhizui's loud voice, but he could not hear it clearly, only a few words including "Qingshui County", "burning the village" and "massacre of the village".
"Qingshui County!" After thinking it over, Ruan Shiping suddenly became clear-headed.
"Deputy General Shen, the Qingshui County you just mentioned is the Qingshui County under Lulin Prefecture?"
"Yes! It's Qingshui County, General Ruan's hometown." Shen Zhizui nodded dully.
"What happened in Qingshui County?"
Shen Zhizui looked at him with pity and hesitated for a while. "Six thousand Qingrong soldiers suddenly appeared in Qingshui County. They burned and slaughtered several villages below."
"what!"
Ruan Shiping jumped up suddenly, "Then my family is..."
"Don't worry, General Ruan. The situation is not clear yet. I have sent someone to investigate."
Ruan Shiping had no patience to listen to this, so he strode out of the tent and headed straight for General Ling's tent.
"General Ling, I would like to ask for two months' leave."
Ling Bomin rubbed his swollen temples, "Did you hear any news?"
"That's right." Ruan Shiping said bluntly, "I want to go back and see if my family is okay. Even if... I can help them rest in peace."
As he spoke, Ruan Shiping's eyes turned red.
"Ruan Shiping!" Ling Bomin shouted.
"Here!" Ruan Shiping forced back the tears in his eyes, stood up straight, and answered loudly.
"Tell me first, what is your current status?"
"The general guarding the border at Xiyu Pass."
"Okay! Since you still remember that you are the border guard general of Xiyu Pass, then tell me what your duties are?"
"Resist the barbarians and defend our country!"
"Have the barbarians been subdued now? Have they withdrawn their troops?"
"No."
"You're still asking for leave without me! Do you think our Yunqing won't perish fast enough?" Ling Bomin stood up and yelled at him.
"I am here to guard the border, but my hometown has been invaded by foreigners. General, I feel sad!"
Ling Bomin walked up to him and patted his shoulder. "I understand your feelings very well. But we are soldiers and we are the solid backing of the people of Yunqing behind us. We cannot retreat!"
"But I want to go home and take a look, just one look!" Ruan Shiping pleaded.
"You are a brave general in Xiyu Pass! Now the enemy and us are in a stalemate. If you are not here, not only will the morale of the army be unstable, but it will also give the barbarians an opportunity to take advantage. Do you want Jiangxia to become the second Qingshui County?"
Ling Bomin looked directly at Ruan Shiping with a pair of intimidating eyes.
"If I have lost my home, why should I guard the border?" Ruan Shiping would not listen to any truth.
"Okay! If you want to go back, if you want leave, this general will grant it to you, provided that the barbarians can retreat three steps!" Seeing that he was unmoved, Ling Bomin gave him an opportunity that was not an opportunity.
"General, you must keep your word!" When Ruan Shiping heard Ling Bomin's agreement, he looked at him with burning eyes.
"Once this general speaks, he cannot take it back!"
"Okay! I'll take my leave!" Ruan Shiping walked out of the tent in high spirits.
That night he called Zhang Qiuming, Shen Zhizui and others.
"I know you all have some friendship with my eldest sister. Now the situation in Zaoziling is unclear. I want to go home to visit my relatives, but the general won't allow it. However, he promised that if we can make the barbarians retreat, he will allow me to go home."
Shen Zhizui knew that the little guy in front of him was a tough guy in battle, so he couldn't help but ask him, "What do you want to do?"
"Sneak into the barbarian camp at night and kill their leader. I don't believe they dare to be so arrogant without their commander!" Ruan Shiping said with shining eyes.
"Aren't you being a little too impulsive?" Zhang Qiuming disapproved.
Shen Zhizui asked: "What do you want us to do?"
"After the mission is accomplished, I will allow your soldiers from Zaoziling to return home with me."
"No problem!" Shen Zhizui touched the letter on his sleeve and nodded.
"But you need our assistance. We also want to end this war as soon as possible." Shen Zhizui asked after hesitating.
"Okay, then you come with me to see General Ling."
That night, Ruan Shiping and others discussed for a long time in Ling Bomin's tent before dispersing.
The next day, Ruan Shiping, Shen Zhizui, Zhang Qiuming and others walked out of the military camp carrying their bags.
"Three generals, what are you doing?"
"Qingshui County was attacked, we will go back to visit, don't worry! We will be back quickly! And General Ling has already approved it." Ruan Shiping shook the token in his hand.
The gatekeeper dared not refuse to let him go.
Ruan Shiping and others left quickly, each on a horse.
Seven days later, the barbarians outside Xiyu Pass were in chaos.
Ling Bomin saw the opportunity and attacked, driving them out of the pass. All the soldiers in Xiyu Pass cheered. They had been fighting for almost two years, and this was the most satisfying!
But when they saw three bloody people slowly walking out from the direction of the barbarians, everyone was stunned.
Only the Chi family army recognized their own general.
"Little General!" They ran towards Ruan Shiping excitedly.
"Where is the Chi family army?" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded on the empty sand.
"The Chi family army is here!"
"Tie up Li Zai for me!"
The Chi family army was stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards Ling Boming at lightning speed.
Seeing this, Li Zai, who was standing next to Ling Bomin, hurriedly hid behind General Ling.
"General, save me! Ruan Shiping is crazy!"
"Li Zai, you betrayed your comrades, how can you sleep peacefully at night?"
Ruan Shiping looked like a ghost that had crawled out of hell, with a row of human heads around his waist, all of which had their eyes wide open. The blood on some of the heads had dried up, while on others the blood was dripping down, which was very scary.
At this moment, Ruan Shiping's eyes were as cold as ice, staring at Li Zai and walking towards him step by step.
"What do you mean by betraying your comrades?" Li Zai dodged and explained to General Ling, "General, I am innocent!"
"Fuck you, General Chi and his son General Chi were killed by you and the barbarians. When the two sides were fighting, you could have killed them, but why did you let the barbarians capture General Chi alive and torture him to death?"
When Shen Zhizui thought of the barbarian general's explanation, his anger surged.
"And it's you who leaked our battle plans to the barbarians every time! I'm wondering why we always suffer a big loss every time we fight." Zhang Qiuming was also angry.
Ling Bomin looked at Li Zai who was running away in disbelief, "Is what they said true?"
"General, how could I betray General Chi and his men? We have no grudges against each other, so how could I harm him? Moreover, I saved General Chi's life! General Ruan must have listened to the barbarians' instigation. As for leaking the battle plan, that is nonsense. How could I leak military information when I have never left the camp?"
Ruan Shiping threw the many heads hanging around his waist to the ground, and like a cheetah in the mountains, he grabbed Li Zai and threw him to the ground over his shoulder before everyone could react.
He stepped on Li Zai's chest, wishing he could eat him alive, "You didn't leave the barracks, but you often wandered around the moat!"
