Pig Killer

Chapter 341

"Oh, by the way, before my father died, he asked me to become sworn brothers with Mr. Huang." General Yu thought about it and looked at Mr. Zeng and said, "I haven't decided whether to do so or not."

"You kid, you should have sworn brotherhood when you were in Taoqiu." Mr. Zeng sighed and said, "What a great opportunity to win you over!"

"They were lucky, like a blind cat catching a dead mouse." Major General Yu said angrily, "If they had come to help two days earlier, my father would not have died." He said with tears in his eyes.

"Alas..." Mr. Zeng looked at him crying like a child and patted his shoulder, "The dead cannot be resurrected." He persuaded, "Anyway, he saved more than 2,000 of our brothers and let you meet the general for the last time." He complained, "How can you blame him for the late rescue? He came all the way to attend the meeting of the princes. He didn't come to rescue us. Compared with those princes we sent letters for help to, none of them came. He didn't know the military situation of Taoqiu, and didn't know the combat power of the government army. He dared to rescue alone. The difference is obvious. You don't blame the princes, but blame him."

"Cough cough..." Mr. Zeng started coughing violently.

"I was wrong, I was wrong." General Yu patted him on the back and said, "Don't be angry." He said aggrievedly, "I just hate it. It would have been better if it had happened earlier."

"This is fate, we can't change it." Mr. Zeng patted him on the back gently and said, "Without Mr. Huang's help, our army would be wiped out, and the general might not even have his body intact."

"Yes, yes." Yu Luo nodded hurriedly, "If it weren't for Mr. Huang and the others who came to rescue us, our brothers would have suffered even greater casualties."

"I know!" General Yu sniffed and pushed back his tears. "I am especially grateful to them."

"Now tell me about Mr. Huang!" Mr. Zeng sat back down and said to Yu Luo.

"They are impeccable in terms of military discipline!" Yu Luo said with a serious face, "They are also very strong in combat effectiveness. They are not the remnants of the forces we have incorporated. They don't know the formation or formation. They rush forward with hoes and sticks, without any tactics. They have received formal military training and use uniform broadswords." He said with green light in his eyes, "The swords are really sharp. I have never seen a sword chop people so neatly. Almost one sword can kill an official soldier." Then he said, "Of course, after nearly 20 days of fierce fighting, it is an indisputable fact that the combat effectiveness of the official army has declined."

"They don't even have armor." General Yu said unconvinced.

"Yes, they made armor with rattan." Yu Luo said immediately after hearing this.

"What is a rattan?" Young General Yu looked at him, not quite understanding.

"It's a basket!" Yu Luo explained, "It's the basket that the cook uses to carry food."

"That's made of rattan!" said Young General Yu with sudden realization.

"Yes!" Yu Luo nodded when he heard it.

"Can that be used as armor?" General Yu looked at him with his eyes wide open, "You are kidding."

"I didn't. I tried it. This rattan armor still has some resistance to our spear tips." Yu Luo looked at them seriously and said, "What if they are strong enough to not need armor? Apart from some minor skin injuries, there are no major casualties."

"You're talking about something so miraculous, it's impossible." General Yu said unhappily, "Many of our men have been wounded by arrows, how can they survive without armor to protect them?"

"What the young general said makes sense." Mr. Zeng said seriously, "Armor is still very strong in defending against bows and arrows."

"Don't encourage others and destroy your own prestige." General Yu stared at Yu Luo and said in a bad tone, "Is it because he saved your life that you said that?"

"I didn't! I just stated what I saw with my own eyes." Yu Luo defended himself hastily, "The Major General could also see that the troops were marching quietly and their formation did not change."

"Yeah!" General Yu nodded in agreement.

"They love farming and they love cleanliness!" Yu Luo said with a smile, "They asked if we could take a shower in our camp." He smiled and added, "They also asked us to plant more trees."

"Plant trees?" Mr. Zeng looked at him puzzledly and asked.

"The young master said along the way that there are very few trees here, all bare, unlike their home mountain which is green and very beautiful." Yu Luo said with a gentle look, "Don't wait until you come back and the trees are gone. It will be difficult to make fire and cook, and there will be no way to build a house." He smiled and said, "The wind blows yellow sand all over the sky, eat a mouthful of sand!"

"Nonsense." Major General Yu stared at him in astonishment, "You are totally out of your mind." He looked at Mr. Zeng and said, "You are not to be feared for your knowledge. What are you thinking? You are not doing your job properly."

Mr. Zeng stood up tremblingly and walked outside the tent, "Come here! Prepare the horses."

"Sir, sir, where are you going?" General Yu chased after him and said, standing in front of him, "You didn't really listen to their nonsense!"

"It would be nice to go out for a walk and have a look." Mr. Zeng looked at him calmly and said.

General Yu said impatiently, "It's not like this tree won't grow anymore." He snorted and said, "I don't have the mood to care about this right now." He looked at Yu Luo complainingly and said, "Why are you talking about this?"

"I..." Faced with the accusations from his own major general, Yu Luo looked at them at a loss.

"Don't blame him. I asked him to tell me everything." Mr. Zeng went down the steps, walked to the horse in two or three steps, took the reins and whip from the groom, stepped on the stirrups and jumped onto the horse. He looked at General Yu and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

"Oh!" General Yu replied, "Wait for me."

"I'll call the guards." Yu Luo said hurriedly after hearing this.

"No need, just take a walk outside the camp, it's not far." Mr. Zeng said to them with his clear eyes.

"We have to bring some guards." Yu Luo said firmly and hurried to find guards.

Major General Yu went to the stable, led his horse out, and followed Mr. Zeng out of the camp.

"What do you want to say?" General Yu looked at him in confusion and said, "Why do you value this kind of tree?" The whip pointed to the distance and got stuck.

"Why don't you say anything?" Mr. Zeng looked at him with amusement.

"That tree seems to be missing something." Major General Yu said embarrassedly.

"It's not just a little less, there is nothing, it's completely gone." Mr. Zeng said as he swept his eyes around.

"If we don't have it, then so be it! Let's go to a faraway place to chop wood, make a fire and cook!" Young General Yu grunted for a long time and then said with confidence.

"We have a cook! We are all men, so we are not afraid of the long journey to chop firewood. But can the elderly, the weak, the women and the children at home walk such a long way and carry the chopped firewood?" Mr. Zeng said to the young master who was not sympathetic to the people.
