Later, General Fang died in battle, and Fang Heng buried the key under a willow tree, hoping to get the box back if he had a chance.
Unexpectedly, everything had been violently demolished long ago, and the most critical formation map was also lost to the hands of the foreign race.
Father, Father, what you left behind failed to take care of your wife and children, and now you are harming the lives of innocent soldiers on the border.
If you have a spirit in heaven, don't be angry or hateful. Your child will remember everything in his mind. He will stand and take the formation diagram back. He will cut off the head of the traitor to comfort your spirit in heaven.
Fang Heng wiped his face with his sleeves and rushed back to the imperial city at an extremely fast speed without even having time to hold the box and cry bitterly.
"Xiaowu, the formation map is lost and the border is in danger. I really want to go back." He suppressed his emotions, "I will not let the Fang family's formation map harm the people of the Dayu Dynasty. The generals of the Fang family who were defeated on the battlefield will not Even if you allow it, the souls of the ancestors of the Fang family will not allow it, and I, Fang Heng, will not allow it!"
"Give me some time and let me get the formation diagram back."
"Get the formation diagram back!" Jiang Yi, Jiang Two, Jiang Wu, Jiang Six, Jiang Qi and Jiang Eight knelt down on one knee at the same time.
Jiang Chengyuan cupped his fists and bowed, "Your Highness, please rest assured."
But obviously, not long after they came back at full speed, they stayed dormant outside the city for three full days. They couldn't eat well or sleep well, and they were extremely exhausted.
But for the life of General Jiang and the lives of tens of millions of frontier soldiers, they must hurry back.
Don't even dare to delay for a quarter of an hour.
Chang Yan's eyes were red, and for the first time he felt the responsibility of thousands of lives in his heart. Even if he felt sorry for his third brother, he still choked and nodded, "Okay."
"Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen, and have a safe journey."
No matter how much you say, time cannot withstand the delay.
There were more than a thousand people when we arrived, and there were still more than a thousand people when we left.
Fang Heng rode a red-maned horse, and Jiang Chengyuan rode a white-maned horse. The two young generals put on the cloaks that led the way. Finally, they took a deep look at the city and the people in the city, and then walked away with their whips raised.
They're gone.
Fang Heng didn't have time to deal with everyone in the Fang family and avenge his mother.
Jiang Chengyuan didn't have time to go back to Jiang's house to visit his elderly grandmother and crazy mother.
The entrance to the imperial city was suddenly empty, and even his heart was empty.
Jiang Sheng couldn't help but chase after him. As he ran, he shouted with all his strength, "Third brother...Brother, you all must come back, and you must all come back safely."
Horse hooves clattered and dust flew.
Jiang Chengyuan might not be able to hear it, but Jiang Chengfeng heard it for him.
The two brothers and sisters, who had such a tense relationship, would only call them brother every time they were called, and now they were finally willing to change their calling to brother.
Jiang Chengfeng turned his head with red eyes and whispered softly, "Brother, you have to come back and listen to it with your own ears."
From Fengjing to Northern Xinjiang, it takes one month by carriage and twenty days by horseback.
These are based on traveling during the day, resting at night, and eating three normal meals a day.
Speeding up the horse means shortening the rest time, shortening the meal time, and even eating dry food on horseback, but it still takes about ten days.
The journey was very painful, not only because of the eyes that stayed up all night, but also the blood dripping on both sides of the thighs, and the buttocks that were so numb that they lost all feeling.
In history, some people even fell asleep on the horse because they were too sleepy. In the end, they were thrown off by the horse and died on the spot.
There was also an official post where a war report was urgently reported, and the person died on the spot after delivering the envelope without resting along the way.
In order to avoid the tragedy, Fang Heng and Jiang Chengyuan agreed to force everyone to take a rest. No matter how anxious they were, they suppressed their emotions and kept silent.
"General, water." Jiang Wu handed over the bag, "Actually, everyone who can go faster is those who came off the battlefield and their bodies can withstand it."
"People can bear it, but horses can't." Fang Heng took the swig, "Xiaowu has just been in charge of the country, and the national treasury is so empty. As an elder brother, I can't add to his burden."
After all, it comes back to my beloved brother.
Jiang Wu chose to shut up.
Jiang Chengyuan heard the commotion from the side and came over with two pastries, "From Jiuzhenfang."
"Where's your Jiuzhenfang pastry?" Fang Heng was surprised, his tone turned sour, "Did Jiang Sheng give it to you?"
Jiang Chengyuan's expression was choked, and he secretly wondered why this man didn't open any pot.
"No." He said angrily, "I bought it myself."
The dignified eldest son of the Jiang family has become a powerful general of the fifth rank in the border areas. If he wants to eat his biological sister's pastries, he has to buy them secretly.
Fang Heng stopped being sour instantly and took out a piece to taste, "My sister used to prepare it specially for me. I couldn't eat a lot of it, so I gave it to them every day."
"Yes, yes, we eat it often." Jiang Ba was short-sighted and didn't know how to read words and emotions.
Jiang Chengyuan's expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot, full of anger.
But thinking about what happened back then, who could he blame? He could only lower his eyebrows sadly.
Now it was Fang Heng's turn to be impatient, and handed the remaining cakes back, and patted Jiang Chengyuan on the shoulder, "My sister never holds grudges, she only remembers the good things about others."
If you want her to be good, you have to be good to her first.
Feelings always come and go, and go and return.
After saying this, he turned around and called everyone who was resting to get on their horses again and set off.
Jiang Chengyuan clenched the remaining pastry, put it back in his arms, and hurried on.
The closer they get to the border, the more nervous everyone becomes.
Everyone knows that soldiers are valuable and quick to seize the opportunity.
The Tartars must have guessed that they would notify General Jiang, prepare warnings in advance, and modify the Fang family's troop formation.
In order to hit the target with one blow and win a complete victory, they would definitely start the war as quickly as possible.
This war is crucial.
After entering the border area, everyone did not even dare to rest and rode horses desperately, hoping to return to the military defense headquarters as soon as possible and spread the news that the Fang family's formation map was lost to General Jiang's ears.
I don't know how long it took, but these more than a thousand people couldn't even feel the existence of their legs and buttocks. There were even drops of blood on the road where their horses galloped, attracting insects and ants to climb on them.
"Almost there, hurry up, hurry up." Fang Heng's eyes were filled with determination.
He leaned down, not only to reduce resistance, but also to use the horse to support his body, and to make the final sprint with faith.
Getting closer, the garrison headquarters is right in front of you, and you can even see the sentries standing guard.
Before Fang Heng had time to smile, the war horse that had been following him for a long time suddenly let out a mournful cry and fell down unprepared.
The man and the horse fell to the ground at the same time.
The horse's big eyes were filled with exhaustion and unspeakable pain.
Fang Heng was also exhausted. He could barely hold on and rolled twice on the grass before falling in front of the fence. "Quick, someone is coming..."
"Who is it?" The sentry was startled and almost sounded the enemy report.
It wasn't until he saw Fang Heng that he ran over in panic, "It's General Fang, and General Jiang. Why are you in such a mess?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Chengyuan interrupted quickly, "Call the general. I want to see General Jiang."
He dragged his almost unconscious body forward, "Father, where is father."
"The general is not here." Another sentry came forward, "The general has gone to fight the Tartars."
