Castle of Black Iron

Volume 46 Chapter 14 Resignation

On the high tower in the middle of Xuanyuan Fortress, in the same room, with the same people, Zhang Tie and Zuoqiu Mingyue faced each other...

Zuoqiu Mingyue sat cross-legged next to a coffee table, resting intently, moving slowly, and making tea with a sense of ritual. With the injection of hot water, a dense and elegant tea fragrance slowly wafted in the room stand up……

For some reason, although he had met this old man many times, this time Zuoqiu Mingyue felt so strange to Zhang Tie.

The tens of millions of Taixia people who died outside the demon camp two days ago, the sorrow of crying, the blood soaking the ground, and the corpses scattered across the ground, are not in this room at all, in Zuoqiu Mingyue On the face, on the hands, leaving a slight trace.

The old man is still calm, with a calm expression, and his hands are not trembling at all, evolving the essence of Taixia tea ceremony in the room.

Zhang Tieduan sat on the other side of the coffee table, but his heart sank slowly.

Zuoqiu Mingyue pushed a cup of tea as clear and green as glass to Zhang Tie. The porcelain in the cup was as white as the moon, with the warm brilliance of the moon. Several pieces of tea were swirling, tumbling, chasing in the water, like clouds rising in the mountains , also like the mysterious law evolved by yin and yang fish, this cup of tea seems to include the whole world.

"Sit with a drink of cold water, watch the rustling dust, hold a bowl for no reason, and send it to tea lovers..." Zuoqiu Mingyue opened his mouth leisurely, then picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and enjoyed it I closed my eyes.

Zhang Tie looked at the cup of tea and didn't move. Even if he became a knight, even if he became famous all over the world, to Zhang Tie, he still didn't know how to taste tea, still didn't know how to tea ceremony. , Drink in Zhang Tiekou. They all lack some pure sweetness, which is very cheap, but Zhang Tie thinks it tastes better, at home. Zhang Tie's family members, Linda and the others all know that Zhang Tie likes to put a little sugar in the tea when he drinks tea-this is his background, and the imprint of a person's background is difficult to change, and Zhang Tie is not going to change it.

"Why..." Zhang Tie looked at Zuoqiu Mingyue Gujing's face without waves. "Why don't you save those innocent people, but watch them die in front of the demons?"

"How?" Zuoqiu Mingyue sighed, put down the teacup in her hand, and asked Zhang Tie lightly, her eyes suddenly sharp as lightning, "You want me to mobilize the knight army and demons in Xuanyuan Fortress to fight desperately, just to save those Ordinary people, let the knights die?" A smile appeared on Zuoqiu Mingyue's face, gentle but hard and cold. "In my eyes, the people of Taixia in the demon-occupied area were all dead the moment they were captured by the demons. Now, they are the war resources and tools of the demons, not the people of Taixia. , the people of Taixia are on the east side of the Weishui River and Helan Mountain. Instead of the west side, the knights of the Xuanyuan Fortress exist to protect the Weishui River and the people on the east side of Helan Mountain..."

"But they were captured by the demons,

Not voluntary. They were forced because Taixia's army couldn't protect them, so they fell into the hands of the demons..." Zhang Tie retorted a little excitedly.

"Taixia's army has done its best, and I have done my best. I am Taixia's army god, but not a god. Taixia's army and knights are also composed of thousands of ordinary people. There is no doubt that the demons are powerful. This is jihad, not a moral court!"

"You knew for a long time that the demons would definitely let those Taixia people in the captive area come to thunder?" Zhang Tie stared closely at Zuoqiu Mingyue's eyes.

"I said that in the hands of the demons, everything is their war resources and tools. Facing Taixia's new weapons and new ways of fighting, the demons will send them to the battlefield without hesitation. And as long as they go to the battlefield, it doesn't matter whether they are forced or voluntarily!" Zuoqiu Mingyue looked at Zhang Tie calmly, "During the last holy war, the demons would do anything more cruel than this." However, this is not a new thing. The difference between me and you is that you can only be responsible for your own conscience, but as the great Sima of Taixia, I must be responsible for more people in Taixia, and for Taixia. Xia’s knights and hundreds of Taixia legions in the war zone are in charge. They trust me, so I can’t live up to this trust. People in the army or the defense line, no matter who they are, no matter what the reason is to make them rush in front of the demons, I will order them to be wiped out. Every time your explosive mine is detonated, in my opinion, it will be Weakening the war potential of the demons by one point is all doing meritorious service for Taixia..."

Zhang Tie was silent, feeling a bit bitter in his mouth, he picked up the teacup, raised his head, drank the tea in the cup, then put down the teacup, smiled bitterly, "It seems that I am not suitable army……"

"No one is born suitable for the army, no one is born with a hard heart, no one is born suitable for holding a butcher's knife!" Zuoqiu Mingyue slowed down, "But we have no choice..."

"Would the same thing happen again?"

"In the past more than a month, the demons have not been idle. With the cooperation of the remnants of the Tongtian Sect, the demons are now transporting those Taixia people who are not willing to submit to the demons from the rear of the occupied area. In the barracks of the army, according to preliminary estimates, the number of people transported to the front line by the demons has reached 200 million. In the next few days, once the Wei River freezes, the demons will drive all these people to the battlefield. The lives of many people will clear the minefields we set up on the east and west banks of the Weishui River, paving the way for the attack of the demons' ground forces. Only then will the real battle begin..."

"Then my lord will definitely not let them cross the Wei River..."

"Yes!" Zuoqiu Mingyue said bluntly, "I will not let them attack the defense line on the east bank of the Weishui River, as long as these people wade through the minefield on the west bank of the Weishui River and set foot on the Weishui River, I will order the airship troops and bomber troops in the theater to dispatch , blocking it at the Weishui River..."

Zhang Tie knew that the interception that Zuoqiu Mingyue mentioned was actually annihilation, because under the current situation, as long as the airship and bomber troops in the theater can intercept the driven people on the Weishui River for two days, without supplies , Under such weather conditions, the vast majority of the Chinese people who were driven to the battlefield would either starve to death or freeze to death, and few of them could persevere.

If there is no accident, the fate of the 200 million ordinary people brought from the rear of the occupied area to the front by the demon army has already been doomed.

Zhang Tie seemed to have already seen the sight of corpses strewn across the banks of the Weishui River...

"I have served as General Weiji in the theater for almost a year. During the past year, the grain production and candle oil production in the rear have basically stabilized. As long as things continue as usual, there will be no major problems. I am in this position. , It is impossible to do more things..." Zhang Tie said, and with a move of his hand, he placed the seal of General Wei Ji that Zuoqiu Mingyue had given him, and other things on the table in front of the two of them. "So today I formally resign from my lord the position of the entrusted general!"

Zuoqiu Mingyue looked at Zhang Tie for a long time, and then sighed, "You have made too many achievements in this position, it is indeed too eye-catching, the tree is so big that even the demons feel the threat, and you want to send the Sky Knight Wanting to put you to death shows that the demons are afraid of you. This time, if you really die in Anxi City, there will be chaos in the rear. You resign from this position now, no matter for you or the entire theater. Bad thing, all states in Taixia are now preparing to establish air cavalry units. I have written a letter to Xuanyuan Hill a few days ago. His Royal Highness has agreed to formally form Taixia’s air cavalry units. In the future, the status of the Tianwu Army will be no less than that of the current Upper Fourth Army. I am going to recommend you as the commander of the Tianwu Army, General Feng Zhentian, and Captain Sima Zuo. I will let you leave the war zone and form the Tianwu Army in the rear. At that time, Taixia's air cavalry was under your command, and it was under your command. No matter what you thought about Taixia's air cavalry, you could turn it into reality. I don't know what you want..."

If the person sitting in front of Zuoqiu Mingyue at this moment is another person, the conditions Zuoqiu Mingyue put forward are enough to make others blush and heartbeat, and it is difficult to hold on to themselves, because compared with the position of general in the theater, it is Taixia's newly formed The commander of the Tianwu army, General Feng Zhentian, is in charge of forming the Taixia military army and commanding all the air cavalry in Taixia. One day in the near future, he will be able to sit on an equal footing with several commanders of the superior army. The powerful authority behind these conditions, It is enough to make people crazy, this is a more dazzling and more powerful position than General Weizheng.

This is a big step forward for Zhang Tie, and it is also a kind of affirmation of Zhang Tie's ability and credit, because when it comes to understanding the air cavalry, if anyone is a well-deserved authority in this area, Zhang Tieruo said that he is the first Second, no one dared to say that he was the number one in Taixia Horror.

Zhang Tie did not expect that the "gossip" he heard in the 46th air regiment a month ago was actually true. Taixia really wanted to form an independent air cavalry unit, and Zuoqiu Mingyue really wanted to lead it himself. This newly formed air cavalry unit...

It seems that such "gossip" is not some kind of insight into the future situation, or a kind of temptation released by Zuoqiu Mingyue.

Zuoqiu Mingyue recommended herself to be the commander of the Tianwu Army, which is both a esteem and a protection.

"Thank you, my lord. It's just that I know that my ability is limited and my qualifications are shallow. I am really not suitable for commanding an army, so I dare not accept it! If you love Zhang Tie, let Zhang Tie regain his freedom and be free in the war zone. You can be a scout again..." Zhang Tie declined...

...
