Wind and snow, endless wind and snow.
At the South City Gate outside Chenshui Pass, a mighty Xishu army arrived, shouting from heaven and earth.
The leaders were not only Fan Lu and Gongou, but also Fei Xiu from Shanyue, Si Hu who came from Chengdu in a hurry, and his staff Li Tao.
After receiving the information from Chen Shuiguan, Li Tao, who was accompanying the army, was silent for a long time before raising his head and looking at the Beiyu army in front.
According to the initial plan, he was to cooperate with Fan Lu and other reckless generals to make decisions as a military advisor and help attack the victorious army of tens of thousands.
Of course, it’s not just him, there is also his most proud disciple Han Xing in the back. He leads ten thousand people to raid the formation and will cross the river at any time to make a circuitous route. After judging Chang Sheng’s escape direction, the three groups of people are completely blocked. .
Unexpectedly, the secret message sent by the lord sent from Chenshuiguan said that the two armies had reached a truce, and that at the north gate of Chenshuiguan, Beiyu King Chang Xiaotang returned more than 100,000 Chen soldiers.
If this fight continues, there is no doubt that it will be a new round of endless fighting.
Of course, Li Tao, who was a staff member, gradually came to see the situation clearly. If there really is a fight, the situation is unclear, Chang Sheng may be defeated...but his lord may also be completely flanked and unable to escape from the Chenshui Pass area.
"What? Brother Mu won't let you hit him?" Si Hu cursed.
"Peace talks." Li Tao said in a solemn voice.
"I'm not talking about my eggs. I don't care. I'm going to kill Chang Sheng to avenge Mr. Qingfeng! I'm going to avenge Brother Ma!"
Lifting the giant axe, Si Hu rushed forward angrily.
Li Tao shouted at the top of her voice, unable to persuade this reckless tiger.
But he never thought that when he rushed near the retreating West Route Army, another man came out on horseback from the Beiyu formation.
Si Hu couldn't see his appearance clearly in the snow, but he thought he was a fighting general and screamed with joy.
"Brother Tiger!"
Si Hu was stunned for a moment, stopped his horse and paused for a long time before his voice broke out in tears.
"Hey, my Changwei boy!"
The Northern Chongqing Army is in formation.
There was a hint of unwillingness on Chang Sheng's face. If the reinforcements from Xishu had not arrived, he might be able to...
"Little strategist, do you want to--"
"Stop it, there are Shu troops outside."
Turning his head to the sky, Chang Sheng sighed, "In this battle, each has its own victory or defeat, but in reality, Xi Shu has a greater chance of winning. One foot...has already entered Beiyu."
Yan Pi, who was beside him, also sighed.
…
"Lord, it's time to leave the city."
"I know." On the top of the city, Xu Mu withdrew his distant gaze. He turned around silently, and together with Chen Sheng, they walked towards the city wall.
"Lord, these grains, grass and baggage——"
"The food and grass were taken away, and the baggage was destroyed."
Judging from the current situation, reinforcements have arrived, and even if Chang Sheng has any bad intentions, it is already too late. I heard that according to Chang Laosi's wishes, we must retreat twenty miles to the west.
In this winter battle, probably because the wind and snow were too cold, it didn't completely burn out after all. However, Xi Shu's strategic goal has taken a step forward and crossed the Dayuan Pass.
As for Kezhou, it is of little significance. After losing Chen Shuiguan, in the future, Beiyu will definitely have to deploy heavy troops for defense. This means that it is extremely difficult to move forward in the Jiangnan direction.
"Lord, if not we should bury some fire oil and use it as support for attacking the city later."
Xu Mu shook his head.
After being held back by Chen Shuiguan for so long, Chang Sheng would definitely check the repairs, and the matter of burying kerosene was meaningless.
Moreover, his and Dongfang Jing's plan was not in Jiangnan in the first place. This time, it was just to help Lao Huang that he came all the way here.
Again, the real killer move is the ship under construction in Cangwu Province.
The army with only more than 10,000 people left began to leave Chenshui Pass.
They didn't go far, riding on General Feng. When Xu Mu came out of the city, he looked up and saw many familiar faces.
Fan Lu, Gong Gou, Li Tao, and Si Hu, who was expressing his lovesickness to Chang Wei... He didn't see the puppy Fu, but Xu Mu didn't even have to think about it. He must have known that this little guy would lead a team of people and stay in the area. Beware of unexpected events in the later positions.
Qingfeng is reborn from nirvana. Starting next year, Mr. Poisonous Eagle's closed disciple will finally be revealed.
"Lord!"
"Lord!!"
All the generals and staff of Xishu gathered around him happily.
"Is the master injured?"
"It's okay." Xu Mu said with relief, turned around and looked at Chen Shuiguan in the wind and snow. Seriously speaking, Lao Huang's original plan was basically successful. This disrupted Beiyu's military strength and made Dongfang Jing stay in the direction of Dingzhou. He attacked Dayuan Pass in a surprise attack.
"Brother Mu -"
Seeing Xu Mu leaving the city, Si Hu hurriedly kicked Chang Wei away and hugged Xu Mu again.
"What's wrong, you're not at home to coax your son?" Xu Mu smiled, and gave Si Hu a soft shudder on his head.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Chang Wei beside him. Even though he was a general from Beiyu, the people on the Xishu side had no ill intentions.
Xu Mu understood the significance of Chang Wei staying at South City Gate.
"Chang Wei, do you want to go to Shu and see Shahu's son?"
"Boy Chang Wei, two new Qing dynasties have opened in Chengdu!"
Chang Wei's face was ecstatic, and he was about to agree, but suddenly turned his head and looked north.
"I won't go, I won't go. The young master is still waiting for me. If I go to Chengdu with my little boss, there will be no one to drink with the young master."
After saying this, Chang Wei felt a pain in his body, took off his tiger-head boots, and touched a piece of silver.
Xu Mu was speechless. This was so incredible. He was carved in the same mold as Si Hu.
"Brother Tiger, give me the lucky money for my little nephew... If one day I marry a wife and have a son, remember to repay the gift."
Si Hu hurriedly grabbed the money, rolled his eyes, and pretended to say "hmm" twice.
"Little boss, silly tiger, and little bow dog, I'm leaving now." Chang Wei sighed, and when he was about to mount his horse, he ran back and hugged Si Hu tearfully. Until the end, wiping away tears, the man and horse disappeared into the wind and snow.
…
"My lord brought me here just for a dip..."
"I've been shy since I was a child, so I ran farther away." Tsuneshiro shook his body and fastened his belt.
"Lord, there are woods near the army. Why did they have to run so far? They all ended up outside Chenshui Pass." The accompanying commander of the guards had a look of confusion on his face.
"You know nothing." Chang Shiro was too lazy to talk anymore, raised his head and looked at Chen Shuiguan in front of him.
Did that guy guess it? I just stayed on top of the city for so long.
"Go home and fight again next year."
Sighing, Changshiro turned around and walked into the snow.
