Chapter 189 Chapter Thirty-Third

Wei Shuye raised his head, and the fiery red sun came into view, the rising red was like bright blood, the wild grass was bleak, chilling and shaking.The rumbling war drums roared in his ears, and thousands of soldiers rushed towards him. The iron-gray shadows were like overwhelming tides, covering the entire battlefield little by little. He was covered in blood, his handsome face was already stained with blood, his hair was tangled and covered with stinky blood, his sword had been broken, and the legs of the horse under his crotch were trembling, already overwhelmed. A powerful enemy invaded, and the land in the Southwest fell. The mortal enemy of Daxia opened the country's gates and led the army of tigers and wolves to wreak havoc on the empire. However, except for a few defenders in the southwest, he was the only one among all the clan leaders in the entire Daxia kingdom. Lead troops south to fight against the enemy.

Along the way, he saw too many aristocratic families leading the family army to flee north, and the endless flow of people flowed north like a long dragon.They drove a carriage, wore fancy clothes, brought a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and personal guards, and even some local provincial officials fled to Zhenhuang in a hurry with the local guards. They brandished whips and spears, Those civilians who blocked the way rushed aside, their faces were full of panic, and there was no trace of their usual nobility. Wei Shuye also tried to organize these troops, and he even ordered his subordinates to block the roads, and drew swords against the fleeing officials and nobles.However, those people gave him sufficient reasons, such as defending the imperial capital, retreating strategically, rushing to the capital to prevent civil war, preserving the elite strength of the empire in order to fight the enemy, etc. In short, they would rather fight themselves than Willing to go back and fight Yan Beijun.

Someone shouted cursingly, saying that there was not a single regular defender in the Southwest left, and they were all sent back to fight the civil war by the princes. The royal family members don't want this country anymore, so why should they go to war? Faced with these noisy voices, Wei Shuye was speechless. In just two days, more than 200,000 rioters gathered on the Songjiang Plank Road.Among them, there are nobles, elites, soldiers, and common people. The southwest has already fallen, and they have fled here for thousands of miles. They are like a pack of extremely hungry wolves, staring at the soldiers blocking the way.

The roadblocks were demolished, and a mere 20,000 troops could not stop such a frenzy.A lieutenant general stood in front of the team, shouting in a hoarse voice, mobilizing people to turn around and continue fighting, but no one paid any attention to him.Wei Shuye rode on the horse, watching those dull-looking people pass by him one by one, like a group of straws that lost their lives. After everyone left, only a dozen or so children were still standing there. Some of them were fourteen or fifteen years old, some were eleven or twelve years old, and they were all boys.They timidly walked up to the hoarse-voiced lieutenant general, raised their hands and said they were willing to join the army.The lieutenant was greatly shocked, thinking that his rhetoric finally had an effect, and quickly asked the reasons why the teenagers joined the army, but realized that he had to sacrifice himself for the country at a critical moment?But the child said that his dry food was snatched by the soldiers who fled together, and they would die if they went any further, so they might as well be soldiers.

The 20,000 soldiers were collectively silent in front of the dozen or so skinny teenagers. Wei Shuye ordered the quartermaster to give them dry food and clean water, and then watched them leave happily. The setting sun shone on these seeds of the empire, like a Artemisia whose roots have been pulled out of the soil. After entering the southwest territory, the situation became even more chaotic.When passing through a small town, the entire town was deserted. The team seemed to be walking in a dead city, and could only hear the sound of their own footsteps, so heavy, one after another.However, when they walked to the small square of the small town, they were collectively stunned on the spot. This is simply a Shura field, with all kinds of weird punishments. The corpses of the dead men, and the pile of corpses as high as two people on the ground, have been burned to charcoal, and there are also a large number of naked women. It is clear at a glance that they died under such cruel means.

The whole team was dead silent. They were veterans who had experienced many battles. They licked blood with their blades and killed countless people in their lifetime. But at this moment, there are still people crying silently, shedding the tears of a man. Born as soldiers, they cannot defend their own country or protect their own people, so how can they have the value of survival. Homes were destroyed, houses were razed, fertile fields turned into scorched earth, prosperity turned into ruins, formerly prosperous and prosperous towns became uninhabited dead cities, and once-living life turned into carrion without perception. Surrounded by poison, this is a terrible disaster, and it is also a dream that cannot be woken up.

Wei Shuye couldn't imagine why the Yanbei Army would be so cruel?Huge grief and anger rampaged in his chest, he clenched the blade tightly, and his young spine was like a tall and straight battle gun. However, the successive battles that followed, the exaggerated style of play and the disorganized deployment of troops made him understand somewhat. It turned out that the first batch of people who entered the Great Xia Kingdom were not the Yanbei Army.Yan Xun opened Baizhi Pass, wiped out several military camps along the way, withdrew from Daxia, occupied the pass, and did not let a single soldier enter Daxia territory. Bandits and horse thieves in the barren land, the Helan Mountains, and the Northwest Desert share the Great Summer.

Batch after batch of horse thieves poured into Daxia's land. They were tough and brutal, coming and going like the wind.They don't have any nostalgia for the land at all, what they are keen on is killing and looting, the place they pass is a mess, burning, killing, looting, raping women, they can do things that soldiers can't do without blinking an eye.The cruel blood and blood stimulated the soldiers and nobles who originally wanted to resist. Rumors about the vicious and terrifying enemy army spread throughout the southwest, and the panic of war spread throughout the entire Longxi within a few days.As a result, the soldiers gave up resistance, the nobles gave up holding on, and the common people began to flee.Therefore, in just a few days, the entire southwest fell into the enemy's hands, and the Yanbei Army's follow-up troops did not even encounter a regular resistance!

That's a madman! In the dark night, Wei Shuye smelled the pungent stench and said secretly. He opened the gate of Daxia, opened the way for those devils, and turned all living things into hunting grounds. He didn't come to occupy, but to destroy, and let the thousands of creatures of this majestic Great Xia be the sacrifices of his Yanbei lineage. The grief-stricken 20,000 Xia army encountered the regular Yanbei army for the first time in Moon City. The 20,000 cavalry faced the 30,000 heavy armored soldiers, and it was a bloody and tough battle.Wei Shuye's army defeated the Yanbei army in one go with that mourning spirit. The angry Xia army brutally killed all the wounded and prisoners. Wei Shuye didn't stop it, because in his own heart, he also expected the same. with.

He hated, hated the invaders, hated Yanbei, hated Yan Xun, hated those ferocious horse thieves. But he hated the royal family even more, hated those aristocrats who were domineering, hated those soldiers who were enshrined but fled in danger, hated Zhao Yang who mobilized all the Southwest troops for the civil war, hated the clan, hated the clan, and even hated himself. Uncle's letters were torn up one by one by him, and the elders of the family scolded him angrily, saying that he was crazy, and even brought the family's soldiers into the southwest at this time, saying that he was a sinner of the family and a rebellion of the Wei Clan.

But this time, no matter how severe the reprimand was, he couldn't make him turn back. The enemy is attacking, the empire is trembling, the country is in civil war, the nobles are fleeing, and the people are crying. He is a soldier of the empire, he cannot retreat. After the First Battle of Moon City, this lone army that went deep caught Yanbei's attention. Within two days, nearly 70,000 troops surrounded them heavily.After a day and night of fighting, they finally exhausted. The bows and arrows are clamoring, the wound medicine is exhausted, there is not much food and grass left, and the knives and guns are curled up. The soldiers have not been able to sleep for a long time. In many cases, they can even doze off during the fight, and occasionally they are awakened by the pain. Find out where you are. The morning sun was shining again, Wei Shuye looked up at the sun in mid-air, squinted his eyes slightly, and told himself that this might be the last sunrise he saw in his life. The lieutenant general rushed forward, with a long and deep scar across his cheek, looking terrifying.His voice was already hoarse, but he still shouted to him: "General! I can't stand it any longer. The enemy has sent three reinforcement regiments. Hurry up and withdraw!" Wei Shuye didn't speak, he just looked at this man who was older than himself.He is a comrade-in-arms who followed him all the way to the north and south. He has fought more battles than himself, is more skilled in the art of war than himself, is more fierce than himself on the battlefield, and is more popular than himself.But just because he was born as a commoner, no matter how many military exploits he has made, he would not be able to get promoted. If he was not under his command, he might still be a small corps leader. But just because he has such a little support for him, he is loyal to him, rushing to the front every time he fights, defending himself from arrows and swords, but how did he know that he often looks down on these commoner children of.He deserved to enjoy their credit, and he deserved to stand behind them and wait for the result of the war. What is the difference between him and those rich nobles who fled the battle?They ran away for their own lives, but they wanted to ruin other people's lives for their own reputation. All of a sudden, thousands of thoughts came to mind. Wei Shuye knew that today was the last battle, there would be no reinforcements, there would be no turning point, Zhao Yang was still fighting Zhuge Yue, it was impossible to come to rescue him.And he also knew that even if he wasn't fighting, he wouldn't come here under such circumstances. They were a team destined to be abandoned, sleeping forever in the flames of war in troubled times. Wei Shuye pulled out his saber, with a look of fortitude on his face, he rode his horse forward, and walked up to the soldiers covered in scars. "Soldiers, today will be our last battle." The deep voice echoed on the battlefield, and thousands of bloody faces raised up to look at their commander. "Soldiers, the enemy has invaded and the country has fallen. Everyone is retreating, but you are the only one who is moving forward bravely. In just ten days, you have experienced thirteen blockade battles, eleven field battles, and two battles. Half a piece of territory, you are worthy of the title of soldier, worthy of the military uniform on your body, and the people of Daxia for thousands of generations will be proud of what you have done today!" "Today, maybe we will sleep here forever, maybe we fail, but we have to tell those invaders with the knife in our hands, tell them that Great Xia will not surrender, our blood will not freeze, all those who trample on our dignity, They will all pay a heavy price for this!" The usually gentle general suddenly shouted sharply, pointing his finger at the enemy army rushing up, and shouted angrily: "Long live the empire!" "Long live Daxia!" Thousands of broken knives pointed to the sky, and the blood of the soldiers was boiling.Wei Shuye rode his horse and rushed out of the camp, screaming wildly to kill the enemy, followed by thousands of roaring warriors, like a group of crazy bison. Ling Lie's wind blew past his ears, Wei Shuye's eyes were hurt by the blowing, the horse was galloping, he couldn't see everything around him, he just instinctively swung heavier and heavier sabers time and time again. His life became clear at this moment. He remembered many things. He grew up cautiously in the family, and under the guidance of his uncle, he ran and fought for the family time and time again. Cloudy eyes. "I don't want to be such a cowardly person who follows the iron-like order of the empire to grow up, grow old, and die gradually. One day, I will break out of the cage, throw away everything that the family has brought me, and use my only life To complete a feat, even if it is so insignificant to others, I can tell myself before I die that I have finally been brave once." He sneered at the corner of his mouth, slashed with his knife, and led his army to fight recklessly, creating blood-red waves in a sea of ​​iron gray. Not far away from the embankment of the Heng River, a cloud of smoke and dust rose up. The general in black armor watched the battle situation coldly, and suddenly ordered: "The whole army is ready." "Your Highness!" The staff frowned and said, "That's Wei Shuye's army, the Wei Clan's private army, and they are loyal to His Royal Highness the Fourteenth." The general raised his eyebrows, turned his head, with deep eyes and a low tone, and said slowly, "I don't care who the family is, I only know that those people are our fellow countrymen and comrades in arms, and they are defending my country." The staff was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "This subordinate understands." The general pulled out his saber and held it up high: "The whole army obeys orders! Follow me!" "Kill the enemy!" A huge charge sounded immediately, like a thunderous thunder, rolling in! "There are a lot of cavalry in the north!" "Extremely fast! It's rushing towards us!" "It's hard to distinguish friend from foe! The opponent has a large number of people, it looks like there are hundreds of thousands of horses!" I don't know who started to shout first, but soon, everyone noticed something strange in the northeast. The visitors all wore navy blue cloaks, and their war horses roared and galloped. In the vast loess dust, they couldn't even see the opponent's number clearly.Countless horseshoes are like turbulent sea water, rolling in the vastness of waves, the sky and the earth are a black and yellow color, the dust rises high, spreads over the towering dams, it looks like a majestic mountain and river. "Look at that banner! It's Dong Hu Jun!" A surprise cheer suddenly sounded, and in an instant, everyone was shocked. They looked in surprise, and their faces flushed with excitement. "It's Donghu Jun! It's Donghu Jun!" "It's His Royal Highness's army! It's ours!" "Long live! Long live the Seventh Highness! Long live Daxia!" Wei Shuye stayed on the horse. He never expected that at this very moment, Zhao Che, who was supposed to be attacking Zhenhuang City, would suddenly appear here. After he abandoned his friendship, obeyed the family arrangement, and supported Zhao Yang's ascension to the throne, at this critical juncture, the family abandoned him, Zhao Yang abandoned him, and the empire abandoned him, but it was the person he abandoned, Wan Li. Far away, save him from the jeopardy. He gritted his teeth, let out a roar, and smashed an enemy's skull with a single blow. "Kill the enemy!" The charge sounded again, and along with the boiling blood, it poured on the man's fighting spirit. On a messy battlefield, at dusk and sunset, the shouting and killing stopped suddenly, and the boundless wind blew by, bringing up a bloody stench. Zhao Che was dressed in military uniform, standing far above the river embankment, looking at the messy battlefield. Wei Shuye stood not far behind him, looking at his figure from a long distance, vaguely, it seemed that he had returned to many years ago, when the defeated prince returned home in embarrassment, kneeling on Ziwei Square to plead guilty.He also stood from a distance like this, looking at his firm back and forever clenched fists. So many years have passed, experienced life and death, experienced ups and downs, experienced twists and turns, experienced loyalty and betrayal, everyone's eyes and hearts have gone through the vicissitudes of life.Zhao Yang became ambitious, Zhao Song became disheartened, Zhao Qi had already died on the land of Yanbei, Yan Xun became cold-blooded, Zhuge Yue also opened his eyes from paranoia, but only He, from the beginning to the end, still has that tough and courageous appearance, never changing, never being fragile, never even showing the slightest softness. This person is a born soldier and a born guardian. He walked over slowly, stood behind him, and said, "Thank you for saving me." Zhao Che didn't turn his head, as if he knew that he was standing behind him, a calm voice came over: "I just don't want to live up to my surname." Yes, he is a descendant of Emperor Peiluo, with noble golden blood flowing from his body. He is only guarding his land and people, and has nothing to do with his position, let alone show any kindness. "Look, how beautiful it is." Zhao Che suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the Haohao Plain below with the scabbard.As the sun sets, thousands of red lights shine on the barren weeds. With the wind blowing and falling, it looks like blood dripping in gold, which looks magnificent and gorgeous. "The world has never seen a truly vast world, because it has not been created. One day, from the Shangshen Plateau in Yanbei to the Dongya Canghai in Huai Song Dynasty, from the Abdu Wasteland in the West Desert to the Jiujiang in the South Wei Qunshan will surrender at the foot of the empire, and all of this will start with my sword." He turned around, looked at Wei Shuye with shining eyes, smiled confidently, then raised a fist, and said firmly: "Big Xia will not perish." Wei Shuye looked at him and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he also showed a smile, which gradually widened and merged into eyes full of vitality. "Big Xia will not perish!" He raised his fist and hit Zhao Che's fist heavily. In the northwest sky, a gorgeous sunset slowly set. The army that had been running for a day got a temporary rest. The whole army started to light a fire and cook, and then slept as fast as possible, because they only had two hours. When the time came, they would continue to rush to the southwest. After Zhuge Yue inspected the whole army, he just returned to the tent, and saw that Chu Qiao had already packed his luggage, looking as if he was waiting for his arrival. Zhuge Yue stood at the door, looked at her silently, and did not speak for a long time. The spring wind was a bit strong, shaking the curtains of the tent, and the bright red light shone in and sprinkled on their bodies, as if they were covered with a film like a blood mist. "Have you decided?" The deep voice sounded slowly, no emotion could be heard, it just asked calmly. Chu Qiao nodded, and said seriously: "Well, I've decided." Zhuge Yue turned around and was about to leave, saying, "I'll go and prepare a war horse for you." "Zhuge Yue!" Chu Qiao immediately ran up to grab his hand, and shouted in embarrassment. The atmosphere in the tent was very gloomy, Chu Qiao lowered her head, her brows were tightly furrowed, her palms were as cold as a piece of solid ice. Finally, the man in front turned his head and looked at her seriously.After a long time, he sighed helplessly, removed the sword from her waist, hung his saber on her, then squatted down, tied a sharp dagger beside her leggings, and walked into the room again. Inner tent, took out a tough inner soft armor, took off her cloak, and put it on for her.He didn't speak all the time, but was busy quietly, sharpening the sword for her, checking her luggage, and bringing all the medicines for her... Chu Qiao's eyes were sour, she pursed her lips tightly, and lowered her head to let him be busy. "All right." The man finished everything, stood in front of her, and said, "Get ready for dinner, and we will part ways in an hour, so I can only send you here." Chu Qiao nodded, feeling a little sad, a little helpless, a little guilty, and even a little scared. She hasn't been so afraid for a long time. Sure enough, people can't have too much. Once they feel that they are very happy, they will be afraid of gains and losses. "Xing'er, promise me that you will come back to see me intact." Chu Qiao nodded quickly, raised her head to look at him, and asked, "Aren't you angry with me?" Zhuge Yue smiled wryly: "I'm angry, why don't you go?" Chu Qiao immediately lowered her head. They had already argued several times over this matter, and now that they were about to leave, she didn't want to continue this dangerous topic. "Since I can't stop you anyway, it's better to send you away." Zhuge Yue suddenly opened his arms to embrace her, put his chin on her forehead, and said softly: "Xing'er, Zhao Che led troops into the southwest, the situation is critical, I must go to meet them. Now all the way to the southwest is occupied by Yanbei army, Bian Tang The road between China and Daxia has been blocked, so I will not be able to help you in time if something happens in the future. Neither you nor I know what the situation in Biantang is like. If you want to turn back immediately, you must not take risks." Chu Qiao lay in his arms, nodding repeatedly, but remained silent. Zhuge Yue sighed, and continued: "If Bian Tang's country is in danger and the situation cannot be reversed, you can take your troops to Qinghai. I have ordered Yue Qi to return to Cuiwei Pass, and he will arrange people to be ready to meet you at any time." Chu Qiao's eye sockets were slightly moist, she sniffled and just nodded. "Okay, now that you've decided to go, don't make such a gesture again. The most important thing to lead an army in battle is momentum. How can I feel relieved when you leave like this?" Chu Qiao raised her head, smiled at him, her voice was slightly choked up, and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Zhuge Yue held her face, kissed her tenderly on the lips, and then said with a smile: "This is the aura that my Zhuge Yue's woman should have." Chu Qiao was amused by him, raised her head and said: "You have to be careful, the situation is critical this time, not only the Yanbei army, but also Zhao Yang and the princes from all walks of life, you have to be careful. Great Xia mountains and rivers are broken, foreign enemies The country is invading again, and the world is in turmoil, so we must act cautiously." "I understand." Zhuge Yue nodded: "I have been marching and fighting for so many years, and I have rarely suffered a big loss. You have to believe that your husband is the one." Chu Qiao was dressed in military attire, she looked pretty and lovely, her face blushed slightly when she heard this, and she scolded with a smile: "Whose husband are you? Have I worshiped the world with you?" Zhuge Yue snorted disdainfully: "You have entered my house long ago, but you just kept your mouth shut and refused to admit it." After finishing speaking, his eyes suddenly softened, and he said, "Xing'er, I still owe you a grand wedding." Chu Qiao's eyes were rippling, and she said softly: "I don't want any wedding, as long as you are here, I am enough." Suddenly there was a loud bugle sound outside the tent, piercing through the vast wilderness and echoing between the heaven and the earth.The surroundings became empty all of a sudden, Chu Qiao closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Zhuge Yue's lips, the lilac was lingering like water. "Zhuge Yue, we can't be bothered." "En." Zhuge Yue hugged her waist tightly. "I'm still waiting for you to marry me into your family in a good manner." The barren plank road stretched all the way, Chu Qiao led He Xiao and others on horseback, staring at the tall and handsome figure under the Qinghai flag for a long time. "Zhuge Yue! I'm leaving!" The wind blew up, kicking up dust all over the place, and Chu Qiao's cloak was raised high, revealing the pure white tough inner armor inside. Zhuge Yue's eyes were like lightning, his expression was calm, and he said loudly: "Success is coming!" Chu Qiao raised the whip in her hand, and also loudly replied: "Successful!" The rumbling drums and bugles sounded immediately, Chu Qiao lashed the horse's stock with a whip, turned the horse's head, and shouted loudly: "Drive!" The horseshoes are flying, the woman is wearing a silver kui, and the bright red red tassels are like a dancing flame, which is so eye-catching in the vast world. The parting was imminent, and before two bouts, there was no comforting exhortation, no womanly tweaking.Immediate success, only four words, nothing more. They both know what the other wants. In troubled times, life is like duckweed. Only faith can never be extinguished. "Master," Yue Liu frowned, and continued to ask without giving up: "Just letting the girl go like this, Bian Tang is so dangerous, why didn't you stop me?" Zhuge Yue turned his head, raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "If she doesn't go, will she still be her?" The sound of the horse's hooves gradually faded away, and Zhuge Yue looked into the distance, with an unspoken word in his heart. Isn't the one I love the same?How could she be imprisoned and destroyed after obtaining it? He laughed loudly, turned around and said to his subordinates who were ready to go, "Let's go!" In the first ten days of April 1882, Yanbei launched an all-out attack on Daxia. They teamed up with Princess Jing'an of Bian Tang, the Chou family, and entered Bian Tang from the Tanghu Pass opened by Princess Jing'an, and defeated Meishan with lightning speed. The Bian Tang defenders to the west opened up the way for King Jing'an's army to advance.Then before the Bian-Tang civil war broke out across the board, they quickly withdrew their troops and outflanked Daxia Baizhi Pass. Because of the outbreak of the Great Xia Civil War, the Fourteenth Prince Zhao Yang mobilized 80% of the Southwest Army in order to fight against the Qinghai and Eastern Hu armies led by Zhuge Yue and Zhao Che.Moreover, because there has been no war at Baizhi Pass for many years, there are currently only a few hundred guards here, and there are only a few hundred veterans guarding the huge pass.Therefore, facing Yanbei's tiger and wolf master, Bai Zhiguan was as fragile as a piece of window paper. Later, after Yan Xun got rid of part of the stubbornly resisting army, he opened the pass and let the horse thieves and robbers who were ignored by tigers enter the pass.In this regard, a nightmarish killing frenzy was brought to the people of the Southwest. Simon has a vast territory, numerous national factions, many no-man's lands between the borders, and thieves from all walks of life are rampant, with a considerable number, sturdy and brutal.Many big-name thieves can even fight against small-scale national troops. Relying on these people's brutal methods and reputation, the aristocratic families in the southwest region retreated one after another, the people absconded, the army was unwilling to fight, and more than 100,000 local defenders fled without fighting.The vast land in the southwest was handed over to those iron-blooded soldiers from the Yanbei Continent.In this way, Yan Xun obtained the greatest benefit at the smallest cost. In mid-April, Zhao Che led his army into the southwest and joined Wei Shuye, who was the first to enter the hinterland of the southwest.This was the first large group of Daxia's resistance army after the war broke out, including 50,000 cavalry, 60,000 infantry, 80,000 heavy armored soldiers, and Wei Shuye's 10,000 light cavalry, which was exactly 200,000 large troops.Three days later, a logistics supply line from the interior to the southwest was established under Zhuge Yue's overall planning. At the same time, Zhuge Yue also led his troops to Shengjing and personally took charge of the Shengjing camp in the southwest. But Hu watched Zhao Yang, Xi Ke monitored Yanming Pass, and Zhong Ke coordinated the operation of the country's grain and grass. In an instant, it became the political center of the country. On April 15th, the Yanbei Army finally completed its first meeting at the lower reaches of the Heng River.The Yanbei Second Army, Sixth Army, Ninth Army, Thirteenth Army, and Black Eagle Army were present at the scene. Cheng Yuan was the commander in chief. The Yanbei Army quickly assembled, and the follow-up troops were still coming in a steady stream. As many as two hundred thousand. However, Yanbei did not confront Daxia head-on, just when Zhao Che gathered all his strength and was about to fight Yanbei to the death.However, Yan Xun suddenly sent a military order from the rear, ordering the armies to disperse and follow the footsteps of the horse thieves to advance towards the northern hinterland of Daxia. In an instant, intelligence flooded in from the front line. Yanbei divided its troops into ten groups and attacked in all directions. The military staff were dazzled by the battle reports of the scout army. "" Surrounded" "Unable to contact", all kinds of bad news fell like snowflakes. Meng Feng, Zhuge Yue's powerful general, returned to his homeland all the way from the interior of Qinghai. Seeing wars everywhere, wars everywhere, the young female general was dumbfounded.In the end, he just asked in surprise: "Is Yan Xun crazy? Is he going to die with us?" Zhuge Yue looked at the map marked with various colors and pondered for a long time. Finally, he came to the military staff headquarters, pressed the map on the table, and said in a low voice: "I think, I know what he is going to do. .” "I think I've guessed what he's going to do?" In a dense forest on the Xiatang border, Chu Qiao and He Xiao had just met Bian Tang's wedding team again. Fortunately, they were hindered by the war and had not yet returned to Bian Tang, so they were able to survive in such a chaotic situation. strength. You know, there are 20,000 elite wolf troops here.Including Chu Qiao's 20,000 Xiuli Army, her current strength is already 40,000. Forty thousand, a complete line of elite soldiers.With this army, as long as it is commanded properly, Chu Qiao has the confidence to face three times as many enemies as her. Under the candlelight in the small tent, Chu Qiao was wearing soft armor, holding the helmet in one hand, and pointing to the map on the table with the other: "He is going to attack Yanming Pass." "Attack Yanming Pass?" He Xiao's younger brother He Qi frowned and asked, "My lord, they have already occupied Baizhi Pass, why are they still trying to attack Yanming Pass?" "You don't know him." Chu Qiao shook her head: "How can Yan Xun be controlled by others? He is now using Bian Tang, and the future is entirely in the hands of Princess Jing'an. Once Princess Jing'an turns her face, or the royal family of Bian Tang counterattacks, the Yanbei Army will definitely fall. In the predicament of being attacked by the enemy, and once the rear is blocked, the pressure on the army will be great. Therefore, Yan Xun must break through the Yanming Pass and open the northern gateway within the set time. At this time, Yanbei and Da The time for the summer decisive battle." Chu Qiao's brows were tightly furrowed, she took a deep breath, and sat cross-legged on the ground, in fact, she should have thought of this a long time ago, Yan Xun had been holding back before, and even deliberately showed fatigue a few times, which made Daxia Zhaoye paralyzed.Later, Gan took the risk to attack Bian Tang's grain and grass. In fact, the looting of grain and grass was fake, and the capture of the gatekeeper of the Tang household was real. Through this person, he contacted Princess Jing'an, who had long opposed her, and then sneaked in silently while taking advantage of the Great Xia civil war. Southwest, he has set up this game for a long time. "Yanbei's strength is definitely more than what it appears on the surface. What is hidden outside Yanming Pass is Yanbei's true strength." "My lord, should we inform Chief Sima Zhuge of this?" Chu Qiao shook her head: "What I can think of, can't he think of it?" She rolled up the map with her backhand, spread out the map of Biantang, and said in a deep voice: "The battle between Yanbei and Daxia is inevitable, and we are powerless to stop it. Our current task is to rush back to Biantang as soon as possible, and get the first place in the battle between Biantang and Biantang." First-hand information, to see how to help His Majesty." The deputy commander of the wolf army was named Guan Song. Hearing this, he nodded his head and said: "My lord, our scouts have been sent out for two days, and they should be back by tomorrow morning at the latest." Chu Qiao was about to speak when she heard a report from the soldiers outside: "My lord, the scouts are back." He Xiao heard the words at the door and opened the curtain, only to see three soldiers covered in dust and blood staggeringly jumped off their horses, one of them said: "My lord, the Bian Tang army is in crisis, the rebels broke through the Hanshui Pass , Fang Huaihai, deputy general of Shennan Jinji Camp, and Tian Rujia, general of the Western Yunnan Army, were captured. General Xu Su was betrayed by traitors, Yu Cangmuleng died in battle, and the Hanshui Army was completely defeated. 200,000, and now the capital has been surrounded." In an instant, everyone was shocked, Chu Qiao sat on the ground, her brows were tightly furrowed, her fists were slowly clenched a few times, and then loosened little by little. "Who is the enemy coach?" "It's Princess Jing'an." "Have you ever found out the identity of this person?" "It's been found out that this person entered Prince Jing'an's mansion four years ago. At first, she was just a dancer who was sold in by human teeth. But after being favored by King Jing'an several times, she became pregnant and gave birth smoothly. A son. King Jing'an came to have a son, loved her very much, and took her as a concubine, but a year later, she gave birth to another son, and as soon as King Jing'an was happy, he made her his concubine." He Xiao asked: "Can a slave also be a concubine?" "I don't know about this subordinate, but later Jing'an Palace was not peaceful, and several incidents happened in a row. The old concubine and two princes passed away one after another. From then on, she became the hostess in the palace. King Jing'an's mutiny failed. Afterwards, all the families were slaughtered, and she escaped under the guard of a group of followers loyal to King Jing'an. She didn't want to sneak into Tanghuguan, and survived under the guard of Tanghuguan. It is said that the princess and This adopted son of King Jing'an has an affair." Chu Qiao looked gloomy and said, "What's her name?" "This subordinate doesn't know either, but only knows that her maiden name is Qiu." "Surname Qiu?" Chu Qiao muttered in a low voice. Guan Song was anxious that the capital was besieged, and said: "My lord, Tang Jing is besieged, we have to go back and save Your Majesty!" Chu Qiao's eyes were deep, looking at the Baizhi pass firmly occupied by Yanbei in the distance, and the other side of the pass was the land of Bian Tang. She nodded and said lightly, "Yes, we should go back."
