Gu Xiao's eyes were full of admiration, not only for Jiang Ningxue's meticulous observation, but also for Shan Bin, Gao Deng and other Yanbei generals who were willing to lose their reputation in order to defeat the daughter of Jin.
"Reputation is a word that many people, no matter in the temple or in the world, value more than their lives, but they..." Gu Xiao looked at the secret letter in his hand and was not annoyed by Gordon's repeated schemes against him. Instead, he praised him.
Then he gathered his thoughts and solemnly handed the secret letter into Jiang Ningxue's hands. Before he could speak, Bai Yi heard that Bai Yi had spoken again: "Leave the matter of tracking Lu Can to me and Brother Chi Xin. Apart from taking his life, we can't save him." Brother Yang, what else do you need me to do?"
"No...no more!" Gu Xiao was speechless for a moment. What he wanted to say, Miss Jiang had already finished for him.
Looking at the woman in white telling him, Gu Xiao was in a daze. He seemed to have seen the beautiful figure in green clothes again, but then it disappeared. When he gathered his mind, he thought of Murong Wu and Xiaodouzi in the city, and said, "Miss Jiang, what's that?" Miss Murong is the key to our entry into Murong Valley."
"Where is she?"
"Yunxiang Pavilion in the city."
Jiang Ningxue nodded silently, agreed to the young man's request, and was about to turn around and leave when she heard the young man speak again: "Miss Jiang..."
Jiang Ningxue looked back in confusion and saw that the young man seemed to be hesitant to speak. After a while, she finally made up her mind and spoke: "That Lu Can is a master of the Heaven-Knowing Realm. Although he used the Can Meng Kung to force his martial arts realm to plummet... .Miss Jiang must not be careless. If his whereabouts are discovered..."
"When you arrive, it won't be too late to take action...yes or no." Jiang Ningxue only said that the young man was concerned about her, and the corners of her lips rose unconsciously. In order to calm the young man's heart, she immediately took over the young man's words.
Seeing the young man's sluggish look, Jiang Ningxue rarely showed a smile on her cold and pretty face. She looked at the young man and saw that his face was full of filth. She couldn't help but feel distressed and warned him with a stiff tone of concern.
"Fighting the enemy in front of the battlefield is not like fighting in the rivers and lakes. Even if you break the mirror and banish the immortal, you will not be able to defeat thousands of troops. Don't show off in anything. If you are unable to save...save...save your life, remember, I Still waiting... Brother Chixin and I are still waiting for you."
...
The morning sun has risen, the fog is thick, and life is always in a hurry.
Gu Xiao looked at the backs of Miss Jiang and the two horses as they rode away, then looked southward and murmured: "Master, don't blame the disciple. It's just that if the Yanbei army fails, the people will be trapped in the flames of war again. Waiting for the disciple I will help the Yanbei Army retreat from the enemy, but I will definitely take Lu Can’s life..."
After making up his mind, Gu Xiao got on his horse and chased the patrolling troops who had disappeared...
——
In the Ziyang Valley, the Yanbei army followed the orders of the mountains and forests. After losing three battles in a row, the morale of the Yanbei army was low. The generals who had gone to Yanbei City for military orders had not yet returned, and there was no general in the army. At this time, Zi In the Yanggu military tent, the generals of the Yanbei camp were sitting in two rows, and they were noisy.
"So, General Bao wants to blame my vanguard battalion for losing three formations in a row?" Yuan Xian, the general of the vanguard battalion, said with disdain on his face and stroking his beard with a sneer.
Bao Lei, the general of the left army, had a fiery temper. Yuan Xian sneered at him and immediately retorted angrily: "Isn't it true? Before the war started, did someone warn General Yuan that the Jin army was not coming here as casually as before? We should be cautious about disturbing the situation. It is best to hold on and wait until the generals return to camp... I don’t know which general insisted on leaving camp to meet the enemy. Not to mention the loss of so many troops, our army is now in this dilemma. Earth, so what?"
"Hmph, when we sent out troops to meet the enemy, why didn't we see General Bao speak so righteously...but now he's doing this as an afterthought?" Yuan Xian, however, took his time and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Bao Lei was furious, stood up abruptly, and angrily scolded Yuan Xiandao: "Idiot, who do you think is an afterthought?"
With a raised eyebrow, Yuan Xian put his hand on his waist and started to fight with the sword on his waist, without giving in. "What's the matter, do you still want to take action?"
"Shua——"
Drawing out the saber from his waist, Bao Lei jumped up and shouted at Yuan Xian: "I have heard that the Pioneer Battalion has always looked down on our left army. Bao has long wanted to learn General Yuan's clever tactics. Today is the perfect time..."
Yuan Xian was not afraid of him. He drew the knife in his hand and said with a sneer and mockery: "Okay, usually my vanguard battalion is always in charge. Your left army is just outflanking and picking up the slack. Today
Let you, a common man, see the bloody nature of my Pioneer Camp man! "
Seeing that the situation was out of control, the other generals were horrified. A powerful enemy was on the side, and the main general had not returned. Internal strife broke out among the army, and they hurriedly stood up to stop the two men.
But the two generals Lei and Yuan, who were angry, could not listen to the advice. They struggled to break free and started fighting. Just when the generals were helpless, they heard angry scoldings coming from outside the tent.
"stop!"
The generals looked outside the seal tent and saw that it was the generals of the battalions who had gone to Yanbei City to participate in military regulations.
With the backbone, everyone in the tent instantly became quiet. Even Lei and Yuan, the two generals who were about to compete just now, lost their temper in an instant and stood awkwardly in the tent with their swords.
The generals who thought they would be dealt with according to the military law, but unexpectedly, after the generals entered the camp, they did not take any action to punish them. Instead, they looked solemn. Only then did many generals in the camp realize that not only were the generals in a state of embarrassment, but they also brought them with them. Return injured.
When the generals saw that their leader had no time to care about anything else, they all shouted outside the tent, hoping to call the military medical officer into the tent for diagnosis and treatment. For a while, there were only busy figures in the tent... Bao Lei looked for him, but he was nowhere to be found. The three brothers, their generals, temporarily suppressed their anger and were about to step forward to ask, but they heard that Yuan Xian beside them had already spoken first.
"Generals, where is General Zhong of our vanguard army?" Yuan Xian had not found his general, and saw that all the generals were injured. A sense of ominousness arose in his heart, and he hurriedly asked.
All the generals knew that if they told what happened in Yanbei City, it would definitely disturb the morale of the troops, so they shook their heads and kept silent.
Bao Lei was too impatient to wait for so long. He quickly took over Yuan Xian's words and asked: "Generals, how come the three generals of our vanguard army have not returned..."
Before he finished speaking, all the generals raised their eyes angrily and shouted in unison outside the tent: "Come on, take Bao Lei to the stables and kill him!"
As soon as the order was issued, the generals in the tent were all stunned. They didn't know why the generals suddenly attacked Bao Lei. Although Yuan Xian had a verbal dispute with Bao Lei just now, he usually admired his character. The three brothers Shali, the commander of the left army, loved him the most. The soldiers were whipped. If Bao Lei had not intervened, the soldiers of the left army would have been tortured by the three Shali brothers to the point of death before the war started.
In fact, in the previous verbal dispute, Yuan Xian agreed with Bao Lei's words. There was no leader in the army. It was because he was too hasty and led the vanguard battalion to meet the enemy, which gave the Jin thieves an opportunity...
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Bao Lei shouting "Unjust". He immediately composed his mind and stepped forward to stop him: "Generals, Yuan really doesn't know why he wanted to kill General Bao."
"Mr. Yuan, you don't know the pros and cons, get out of the way!" Seeing that the little general of the vanguard camp dared to stop him, the general shouted angrily.
Yuan Xian, however, was not afraid to speak: "My lord, our army is currently fighting the Jin bandits. If we want to kill the generals in front of the formation, there must be an explanation... Besides, the commanders of our vanguard army and the left army are not here, so my lord will kill the generals on the side. Don't you want to chill the hearts of our two armies?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I, Commander Pei, am the beheading general. Is it possible that I still need to reveal the inside story to you, General Yuan?" When the general saw that the little general dared to teach him a lesson, he became angry and drew the knife from the side. He opened his eyes wide and shouted.
Bao Lei never thought that when he was about to be executed, among the generals, only Yuan Xian, who had a dispute with him, spoke out to him. The slight discomfort of the verbal dispute dissipated in an instant, and he looked at the sword-wielding general in the tent. That murderous aura didn't seem to be fake, so he hurriedly spoke.
"Old Yuan, General Pei has his own reasons for beheading me. Don't stop me anymore. Get out of the way."
Soldiers in the army have many tempers. Yuan Xian showed his stubbornness and stopped in front of Bao Lei just as he had insisted on sending troops to meet the enemy: "General Pei, even if he wants to behead, he must wait until the commander of the left army returns. It won't be too late to kill the general if we find out what he is guilty of... Generals, is it possible that you also sit idly by and ignore it?"
On a normal day, even if a general in the army commits a serious crime, there will be a general who will plead for mercy. But when Yuan Xian cast his eyes, he saw that none of the generals on the throne offered to plead for mercy, and even looked at him with murderous intent. Bao Lei...
"What...what the hell is going on?" Yuan Xian suddenly lost his mind and muttered to himself, but still stubbornly stood in front of Bao Lei.
When Commander Pei saw this, he laughed angrily: "Okay, okay! Mr. Yuan! Since you want to know, I will give you a reason.
The commander-in-chief of the army, Shalimu, and his three generals passed through the Jin Dynasty and took advantage of the military regulations to attack and kill the generals of the Yanbei camp. Fortunately, the Yanbei city was well prepared. Shalimu and his three men missed and were killed in the middle of the night. Bao Lei was one of his subordinates. Is it reasonable to kill the most proud general? "
As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the tent were dumbfounded. They finally understood why they just went back to Yanbei City to participate in the military ceremony, but the commanders of the armies came back injured. Read the book
His pupils shrank suddenly, Yuan Xian also stood there blankly, as if his soul had been sucked out, and murmured: "My general..."
Commander Pei opened his eyes slightly red, trying his best to suppress the sadness in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. Seeing this, the commander of the friendly army beside him sighed, took Commander Pei's words, and said in a deep voice: "General Ge... in the middle of the night During the attack, he blocked the enemy for us, but he died under the knife of the thief!"
After hearing the bad news, Yuan Xian swayed slightly until he leaned on the ground with the saber in his hand, and then he stopped falling, but the voice of Commander Pei came again in his ears.
"Mr. Yuan, is this reason enough? If you are worried that I will deceive you, you might as well ask the commanders of the Yanbei armies here..."
Despite this, Yuan Xian did not want Bao Lei to die unjustly. When he was thinking hard, he heard General Pei's order again: "Push it out and kill him!"
Yuan Xian was about to speak, but he heard a chaos of shouts and shouts outside the tent, and the sound of someone shouting came into the tent...
"The Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Territory has an order! His Royal Highness Prince Ning has an order!"
Hearing the words "Northern Territory Commander", both the commanders of the armies and the generals under the tent stood up in awe. In their hearts, there was only one person who deserved the position of commander-in-chief.
"General Wan is back?" Pei Shuai was overjoyed. He didn't care about beheading the general. He threw away the saber in his hand, said "Wait for General Wan to come down" and walked out of the tent in three and two steps.
The generals were overjoyed when they heard the commander's order, and came out of their tents to greet him. However, when they followed the figure of Commander Pei out of the tent, they saw only a young man with tiger eyes, holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand, coming with a dusty body. .
The generals had known for a long time that this man was the son of Yan Ruohai, the commander of the Qianqi Camp and the Grand Master of the Army Guards. He was a popular figure in the eyes of the Holy Emperor. They naturally knew what the bright yellow scroll in his hand was, and they all kowtowed to the ground and shouted long live.
Upon seeing this, the Yanbei soldiers knelt down and shouted loudly. In an instant, "Long Live" had spread throughout Ziyang Valley...
The sound gradually disappeared in the morning light, and the leader of the five thousand Jin troops who were approaching Ziyang Valley also vaguely heard it. Feng Chong approached the general beside him and asked, "Have you ever heard the shouting in Ziyang Valley?"
The general said suspiciously: "General, the general only heard the whistling wind in his ears, but he didn't hear it."
"Forget it, pass on the order, and hurry up. We must arrive outside Ziwu Valley before Mao hour! If anything goes wrong, military law will be dealt with!"
Five thousand cavalry were advancing at full speed. The roaring sound echoed the rising red sun, seeming to indicate that the war was about to begin...
