Chapter 525: Going to the Battle(2/2)
The soldiers' faces also became solemn.
They know that marching in such harsh weather will undoubtedly increase difficulties and risks.
But Xi Yu and Guan Yu did not retreat because of this. They looked at each other and encouraged each other.
Then, they waved their whip and led the army forward. The strong wind blew on their faces, and the gravel hit their armor, but their pace was still firm and did not retreat.
The road ahead is rugged, and the trees on both sides sway in the wind, as if cheering for this brave army.
As night fell, the army led by Xi Yu stopped in an empty place and prepared to set up camp.
The sky was filled with stars, which shone with the bonfire in the distance, illuminating the entire camp.
The soldiers sat around the bonfire and discussed the accommodation arrangements for the evening.
A general stood up and said respectfully to Xi Yu: "King, the dew is heavy at night. For your health, we recommend that you go to a nearby inn to rest."
Xi Yu smiled and shook his head, his eyes firm and warm. "I am with you, wherever the soldiers slept, I will sleep. Share the joys and sorrows."
The general hesitated for a moment and wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Xi Yu's firm expression, he had to give up.
He nodded silently, his eyes showing admiration for Xi Yu.
Xi Yu turned around and walked towards the soldiers beside the bonfire, chatting and laughing with them, as if he had forgotten the harsh environment outside.
The campfire flashed, reflecting Xi Yu's firm face and warming the hearts of every soldier.
On this night, Xi Yu used his actions to interpret the leadership's determination to share weal and woe with the soldiers.
Several soldiers sat together and whispered.
"You guys, why did General Guan Yu come to participate in this expedition?" asked a soldier.
"Isn't I want to take advantage of it? When the king wins the battle, he can also benefit from it." Another soldier said with a pout.
"That's right, I don't see that he will not be able to do much at that time, but he will be able to gain a good reputation." The others also agreed.
These words were heard by Guan Yu soldiers patrolling nearby, and they immediately reported the matter to Guan Yu.
After hearing this, Guan Yu was very angry and his face turned gloomy.
"I, Guan Yu, are sincere, and they are so misunderstood!" Guan Yu said angrily, "I must find the king to explain it clearly."
He took a few confidants and quickly walked towards Xi Yu's camp.
The campfire reflected their angry figures.
Guan Yu came to Xi Yu's camp, took a few deep breaths, calmed down the anger in his heart, and knocked on the door and went in.
"King, I have something to tell you about it." Guan Yu said in a serious tone.
"General Guan Yu, but it's okay."
Guan Yu told Xi Yu all the discussions of the soldiers, and then watched Xi Yu and waited for his response.
Xi Yu pondered for a moment, then stood up, walked to Guan Yu, patted his shoulder and said.
"General Guan, I know your character well. Your courage and loyalty are obvious to everyone. Don't care about those rumors."
But Xi Yu decided to thoroughly investigate the matter to face the sound and stabilize the morale of the army.
He called several confidants and began to investigate secretly.
The night was shrouded in the military camp, and the light of the bonfire flashed in the darkness, illuminating Xi Yu's serious face.
After some investigation, the two casually discussed soldiers were pulled out.
Xi Yu looked at them, his eyes revealing disappointment and anger.
"Do you know how stupid your behavior is?" Xi Yu's voice was stern. "In the military camp, the stability of the morale of the army is crucial, but your words and deeds easily shake it."
The two soldiers lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Xi Yu's gaze.
They realized their mistakes, but it was too late.
Xi Yu was silent for a moment, and then issued an order: "Prepare them on the spot to serve as a warning to others."
Guan Yu looked around, his face still gloomy, but he felt respect for Xi Yu's decisiveness and justice.
In the end, the two soldiers fell to the ground. The atmosphere on the camp became solemn in an instant, and everyone realized the seriousness of military discipline.
Xi Yu looked at everyone and said loudly: "No one shall disturb the morale of the army for any reason. Violators shall be severely punished!"
His voice echoed in the night sky, and every soldier remembered it in his heart.
After many soldiers learned that Xi Yu severely punished the two casually discussed soldiers, they also understood his intentions.
They realized that Xi Yu did this not only to safeguard military discipline, but also to establish his own prestige.
Some soldiers couldn't help but sigh at the misfortune of the two soldiers, feeling that they had really hit the gun.
At this sensitive moment, any slightest movement can cause serious consequences.
At the same time, the soldiers also felt that they should be more cautious in their words and deeds and should not easily participate in these meaningless discussions.
They understand that in the army, there are some things that only need to be clear in their minds and do not have to talk nonsense.
The next morning, the sun rose slowly, illuminating the way forward of the army.
Xi Yu led the soldiers on the journey.
And today's weather has improved a lot.
As the army continued to set off, the soldiers became more and more in a heavy mood.
They realize the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, and they also understand the great responsibilities they shoulder.
This little episode made the soldiers understand the importance of silence and discipline in war.
Ouyang Linlin has been in the small Buddhist temple every day these days, and her heart is peaceful and full of expectations.
She knelt in front of the Buddha statue intently, folded her hands together, and silently prayed for Xi Yu.
In this quiet Buddhist temple, Ouyang Linlin felt a special warmth.
The smoke curled up, creating a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
Her heart gradually immersed in this tranquility, as if it was isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
She likes everything here, and loves this tranquility and peace.
Here, she can let go of her worries and worries and focus on praying for the people she loves. She believes that through pious prayer, her heart can be conveyed to Xi Yu and bring him peace and smoothness.
Every time I pray, Ouyang Linlin could feel the power in her heart being accumulated.
She hopes that Xi Yu can feel her love and care and be safe on the battlefield.
She is willing to give everything for him, as long as he can return safely.
As for the eldest lady Gan Mei, she has been immersed in the joy of having a son these days.
On this day, she held the child herself and patted the child on the back.
"Son, do you think your father will defeat the enemy?"
Ping'an naturally couldn't understand these words in the little drama.
Just keep blinking.
Gan Mei hugged him tightly, but she complained again in her heart. Although having such a father is happy, it is also worrying.
She even hopes to marry an ordinary person.
She never thought she would marry a great prince in her life.
Maybe this is fate.
A funeral was being held at Sima Yi's home. Although Sima Yi has been buried, the funeral has not been held yet.
And many people then realized that Sima Yi was killed by Cao Pi.
Sima Yi wanted to hold a funeral in a high-profile manner, just to let everyone know this.
Cao Pi soon heard about this and reported it to him if he had something to do, hoping that he could take care of it.
Cao Pi waved his hand.
"Forget it, after all, people are dead."
And he also felt sorry for Sima Yi.
Just last night, he had dreamed of Sima Yi crying to him, saying that he died particularly wronged.
He was also worried that Sima Yi's death would affect the morale of the soldiers.
He found that people are really stupid when they are impulsive.
Just like this incident, he knew that he had been framed by someone, but he still fell into the trap of others.
Suddenly a spy came to repay him, saying that he had heard the news from Chang'an. Emperor Liu Xie knew Xi Yu's expedition well, and he also encouraged him and sacrificed to the sky.
This is just following Cao Pi nakedly.
Cao Pi was very angry when he heard this.
