Before he could say a word, several people rushed out from behind him, and they had already held Yang Jinwen's arm tightly: "My lord said, tie him up, and go to clean up in the horse for a few days-" A soldier said expressionlessly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Jinwen jumped to his feet and scolded, but he was still dragged into the horse.

General Yang looked at his younger brother being escorted away, hesitated for a moment, rearranged a smile, and went into the big tent to apologize to Luo Dujian for his younger brother and admit his mistake.

The White Wolf Pass is a very small pass, as small as the cooking man and the horseman feeding the horses, there are only thirty people guarding here.

There are many such small passes, and there is one in less than fifty miles, which is densely distributed in the southwest of Dongliang Kingdom, driven into the earth like countless small nails, and firmly adheres to the southwest border of Dongliang Kingdom.

This kind of military distribution is when Bai Feng led the troops to conquer the southwestern countries, while fighting while laying out the strongholds, the border is bitter cold, the products are barren, the people are sparse, there is no ability to develop into a large city, and there is no ability to build a stronger and taller defensive city, this kind of flexible and mobile small pass is very suitable for the survival environment of the southwest border. Thirty or fifty people can be guarded in normal times, and once the enemy country invades, the wolf smoke will be lit immediately to ask for help, and the nearby passes, large and small, will be ready to meet the enemy, and the elite troops of the general battalion will immediately rush to the front line.

"Big brother, can't we just lose the white wolf?" A few hours ago, the neatly dressed Xiucai soldier was already full of embarrassment, his pants were torn open a big gap, his hair was loose, and his face was covered with dust.

The fat soldier was even more embarrassed, he was hit by a flying arrow in the corner of his forehead, and he casually wiped it with loess to stop the bleeding, leaving blood marks on his face, and he gasped for breath with thirst.

"This is also the combat strategy left by General Bai back then, if the enemy is few, we will defend, once the enemy army is too large, we are outnumbered, we will quickly light the wolf smoke and run away, our task is not to fight, but to delay time, let the wolf smoke burn for a while more - now we have completed the task - "

As he spoke, he pulled a handful of stupid Xiucai and ran.

Xiucai kept turning back, his eyes were reluctant, the White Wolf Pass was already full of wolf smoke, fighting and shaking the sky, many brothers have died, some are still alive, the gate of the pass has been broken, can the brothers survive at this time?

"This is war, there is only life and death and bloodshed, and you will naturally become numb when you see too much in the future-go quickly, I'm afraid that if it's slow, we'll have to leave our lives here-"

The two men staggered behind them.

Their front feet had just rushed to the Qinglong Pass, and the enemy army behind them had already arrived and began to attack the Qinglong Pass.

The fat man pulled Xiucai not to enter the Qinglong Pass, bypassed a mountain bag, and hid in the mountains behind.

This way back and running, along the way I saw one pass after another being breached and occupied.

Fortunately, the fat man was very familiar with the terrain, so they escaped from the enemy's sight several times and survived.

"Why haven't we seen our rescue troops for a long time? Aren't there tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the southwest camp? Didn't they receive the news? Besides, where will we go in the end if we retreat all the way? Will we be punished as deserters?" Xiucai was so tired that he was still thinking about such a big question.

"It's really a nerd, it's a book to confuse your head," the fat man was so angry that he cramped, "Let's go to the big camp to report the news, we risk death to report the news, although it is not our turn to report the news to our own town guarding the pass The Flying Dragon Army is responsible, but the pass is broken, the guard will be martyred, and the news of the Flying Dragon Army doesn't know whether it was brought to the camp or not, and it may be that they died on the way, because they took the avenue, and the enemy army chased along the avenue all the way, and we took the remote trail, so the news we brought back might be useful. Besides, we're not deserters, we're just trying to escape from the enemy—"

Time passed eternally, and the wolf smoke everywhere in the southwest became much sparser on the third day, and those small passes were broken one by one, and people died or fled or scattered, and naturally no one lit the wolf smoke to pass on the news.

On the fifth day, Xiucai and the fat man found the camp.

"It's finally here - it feels like escaping from hell - " Xiucai sighed with tears in his eyes, sticking out his dry tongue and licking his chapped and bloody lips, "Will they give us a full meal first, we're starving-" The innocent eyes were full of longing.

"Ahh

"You hide and wait first, I'll go in and see, and if the situation is normal, I'll call someone to pick you up." ”

"Why? We managed to escape, and Prison Luo should reward us immediately. Xiucai felt that the fat man was incomprehensible.

"You just listen to me once-" The fat man stared at Xiucai's thin face, "You remember, although I don't have a belly book like you, but I am a soldier left in the elite army of General Bai back then, and the old men of our Jiazi team in the White Wolf Pass are all dead, just me is alive, I am a rough person, some things can be understood by rough people but may not be able to do it well, so you have to live, remember my words, hide and wait and see, if I can't come out alive, you don't show up, run away quickly, find the camp in Beijing, and send the news to Beijing." ”

"Why bother so much, isn't it good to tell Luo Dujian directly?"

"It's really useless, it's a scholar -- can't you see the situation clearly at this time? Why can't we wait for reinforcements for a long time? Why are all the passes along the way fending for themselves and no one is rescued? Why is everything calm in this southwest battalion and there is no tense atmosphere of training to meet the enemy? It shows that the situation is not good, the situation has changed -- the time is urgent, so I went first--"

Xiucai was still dazed, but he hid himself obediently and waited for the movement in the barracks.

Until it was dark, I still didn't see the fat man come out.

Xiucai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, got up and ran forward through the night, although he didn't fully understand the deep meaning of the words that the fat man said, but the solemn look of the fat man before leaving, the melancholy eyes, the result of never returning, and the suspicious calm in the camp, everything came together and thought about it, he felt that his mind suddenly opened up.

He had to go to Beijing immediately and deliver the exact news to the Son of Heaven.

The capital of Dongliang Kingdom.

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of the first year of Zhengxi, the young emperor sat crookedly on the dragon chair in the court, looking extremely impatient at a group of Wencheng generals who were dressed up to participate in the court meeting.

"There is something to do, and there is nothing to retreat. Ming Huanglong's body said lazily.

It seems that he is in a hurry to retreat from the court immediately and rush back to the harem to sleep with his concubine in his arms.

Some ministers frowned quietly.

The emperor is becoming more and more neglected in the government, and now he is very impatient even with such a major event as the court meeting.

You must know that the things discussed at the court meeting are all important matters related to the safety of the family and the country.

"Returning to the Lord, the southwest barracks Luo Jian Fei reported, the southern border is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, this year the rain is abundant, the products are abundant, and everyone is grateful to the Lord for the blessing of God. (To be continued.) )
