Chapter Twenty-Five: Surprise Soldier and Make an Oath Again

Baisha River lies quietly among the skylight and mountains, as if a virgin is immersed in a dream. On the right bank, the moon is hazy, and the reed flowers are swaying in the wind, and on the left bank, there are several miles of camps, and the lights are dim.

At this time, in the Chinese military tent, Elder Yanqi's father and son, Princess Zixi, and Yeli and other generals sat separately and were discussing the matter of entering the army.

Yan Qiwu said: "After crossing the Baisha River, there are three more days of travel, and we will arrive at Walengguan." Tonight, let's discuss how to take the corrugated pass. ”

Wu Khan, the deputy commander of the left subordinate, said: "The humble post also walked through the corrugated pass in those years, it is west of the high mountains, east of the Yu River, although it is the Kejing tribe's border fortress pass, but it is very dangerous, if the general can give his subordinates 2,500 men and horses, the strong attack can be taken in two days." ”

When the generals heard this, they applauded one after another, praising the veteran Wu Khan's sword for not getting old and his majesty undiminished. Wu Khan was also very arrogant, and even boasted falsely.

Yan Qiwu said happily: "Okay...... The corrugated pass cannot be bypassed, so I allocated 2,500 soldiers and horses to the old general, and the vanguard must be taken in one go. ”

Yan Qiwu made up her mind to storm Corleng Pass, but the princess panicked, and she hurriedly persuaded: "Don't storm it!"

As soon as these words fell, Yan Qiwu and the generals looked at each other in astonishment, and Elder Yan Qi also looked at Princess Zixi without blinking, wanting to hear the meaning of the following. Ye Li led the troops to fight and attack the city and was a layman, so he could only sit quietly under Zixi and listen silently.

Yan Qiwu asked, "Why is that?"

"It's not good for us. Princess Zixi said, "Our army marches long distances, is exhausted, and it is a taboo for soldiers to attack fortified positions with a tired army, which is the first danger; our army has limited strength and baggage, and if it consumes too much, it will be difficult to supply supplies, and the army's spirit will be scattered, which is the second danger; if we startle the grass and snakes, alarm Sukhum, and increase the troops at the Waleng Pass, it will be even more unpredictable, and this is the third danger." There are these three dangers, so it is not advisable to storm it. ”

Princess Zixi spoke in an orderly manner, and everyone could understand it, and they couldn't help but show admiration one by one.

Elder Yanqi bowed his head and said: "The princess judges the situation and analyzes it thoroughly, she really has the style of a general! The corrugated pass is not the target we want to attack, and it is best to bypass it, but it is difficult for the five thousand men and horses to cross the border without being discovered by the enemy, so we can only 'take it by surprise and attack it unprepared' and quickly pass through the corrugated pass." ”

Uncle is right, so Zixi thinks: outwitting is the best policy. Princess Zixi said:

"How to outwit?" Yan Qiwu was puzzled.

Princess Zixi said: "There is an eagle's beak cliff in front, over it, and then walk south for a few days, you will arrive at the Yu River, and the other side of the Yu River is the corrugated pass." Zixi came from that road, but the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, and I am afraid that the baggage horses will not be able to pass. From Zixi's point of view: Brother Wu can send a hundred strong soldiers as surprise soldiers, climb over the Eagle's Beak Cliff, cross the Yu River, and then take a small road to sneak into the pass.

When the team arrived outside the corrugated pass, Brother Wu was outside the pass with beacon smoke as the number. When he saw Fengyan in the pass, he sent one person out of the pass and made an appointment to break through the gate. Such a surprise, the inside should be combined with the outside, and the corrugated pass can be breached. ”

"Good plan, good plan...... Use the strange soldiers, cross the Yu River, and then blend into the city, the inside and the outside should be combined, and it is really a good plan!" Elder Yanqi applauded and applauded, "Why didn't the old man think of this road? ”

Yan Qiwu was overjoyed and said: "I didn't expect Sister Zixi to come up with this plan, it's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go, admire and admire." ”

Princess Zixi said shyly: "Zixi studied military books with a few brothers for a few days when he was a child, and only escaped from the eagle's beak cliff with his life, so he thought of this plan for a while, and I hope the generals will not laugh." ”

"Eh, what did the princess say? This is a good plan!" the veteran Wu Khan stood up and praised, and then asked Yan Qiwu for an order, "I am willing to lead this strange soldier and blend into the pass." ”

Elder Yanqi said: "Old General Wu also walked that road back then, and he is the best candidate, who else is willing to go with the old general?"

All the generals left their seats one after another to ask for their lives, and they did not give in to each other.

Yan Qiqi was in a dilemma around noon, and he didn't know who to send with him.

Sitting quietly for a long time at night, while thinking about relieving Zixi's worries, and thinking about solving difficulties for his father, seeing that the generals could not hold each other, he stood up and stood up, and Mao recommended himself: "All the generals have military affairs, only I am an idler, let me go with the old general." ”

"No, no...... You are the second prince of Beiji Kingdom, if there is any mistake, we can't afford it. Seeing that Yeli took the initiative to ask for help, Elder Yanqi hurriedly shook his head and said.

Princess Zixi smiled and said: "The second prince is strong, agile, and knows Taoism, this miracle soldier needs his help, I think he is the most suitable to go." ”

Yeli heard Princess Zixi's praise, every bone was crackling with excitement, every pore was as comfortable as a spring breeze, and he said with joy on his face: "What the princess said is that she is willing to serve the power of dogs and horses!"

"Hahahaha...... The second prince's attitude is so sincere, he can't do it if he doesn't agree! It is really an honor to have the help of the second prince. Elder Yanqi laughed.

"Being able to quell the Kejing Rebellion is also a responsibility that Yeli should fulfill. "Yeli said, thank you to Princess Zixi.

Princess Zixi smiled silently.

Yan Qiwu said: "Since this is the case, then it is so decided, I will immediately send General Wu to select a hundred elite sergeants in the army, and follow the second prince to listen to them." After that, he sent Wu Khan to select the best soldiers overnight.

And when they had taken counsel, it was almost late at night, so they went out to camp and rest.

Yeli walked out of the Zhongjun tent and wanted to return Zixi's jewelry, so he walked a few feet behind her, and when he saw that everyone was dispersed one after another, he called: "Princess, please stay." ”

In the moonlight, Zixi knew that the night was coming, and the footsteps seemed to be stepping on her heart step by step, and her heart hit like a deer. Suddenly, when he heard Yeli's call, he stopped and looked back, "Second Prince, is there something wrong?"

Ye Li walked a few steps to catch up and faced Zixi head-on.

The moonlight was dimly shining on Princess Zixi's face, like a layer of mysterious light, soft and delicate.

Yeli didn't dare to look at it for a long time, lowered his head, took out the amber pendant from his arms and said, "Your pendant, give." ”

Princess Zixi smiled happily: "It's rare that you have the heart to help me retrieve it." Thank you. ”

"No thanks, yes. Yeli replied simply, and couldn't help scratching the back of his head, which was cute.

Princess Zixi said: "Tomorrow you have to walk the eagle's beak cliff, so you can rest early, right?" Although she said this, she wished to stay for a while at night.

Yeli hugged and said, "There is one more thing, I was about to tell the princess." If I don't tell the princess, I won't be able to sleep this night. ”

"What's the matter that will keep you awake?" Princess Zixi smiled.

"Your ...... Yours...... I couldn't get your embroidered boots back. Night Centrifugal was ashamed, swallowed.

"It's just a little bit old, so you can't sleep? It's okay, I must get this amber pendant back, and I forgot about the boots, and didn't you already buy me a pair?" Princess Zixi said with a smile.

"Why doesn't it matter! It's a big deal!" Yeli scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, "I once said: If you can't get your boots back, you will give the princess a golden table!"

"Huh...... Do you still admit it? Just talk about it, could it be that you really want to give me a golden platform?" Zixi still smiled.

"A manly man, once he says it, it's hard to chase the horse!, how can he talk about having fun?" Yeli said with a solemn expression.

"Huh...... You're here again, and you're a manly man, and it's hard to chase after a man. If you're really serious, then you're going to give me a golden platform? I'll wait!"

Seeing that Yeli looked very serious, Princess Zixi half-jokingly teased him, but her heart was already like a peach blossom in the spring breeze, with a soft and soft throbbing.

"Okay, I'll give you a golden platform!"

Although Princess Zixi only joked about it at night, she had an indescribable wonderful feeling. She couldn't help but be a little worried about revealing her daughter's thoughts, so she giggled: "Okay, okay...... It's late at night, go back and rest, tomorrow you have to take a dangerous road. After speaking, he bowed slightly and walked slowly to the camp.

If the night is reluctant, seeing that Princess Zixi walked two feet away, she suddenly called: "Princess......"

"Hmm, is there anything else?" Zixi heard the call, and a warm current welled up in his heart, turned around, and asked gently.

"No... Not...... It's okay......" Under the moonlight, Yeli looked flustered, wanting to reply, but it seemed that his throat was blocked by something.

Princess Zixi said softly: "It's late at night, beware of catching a cold, go back and rest." ”

"Huh. Yeli replied in a daze, but had no intention of leaving, his eyes watched Princess Zixi's shadow gradually drift away, and suddenly called again: "Princess! princess ......"

Princess Zixi turned around again, stared at Yeli, her heart fluttered, and she scolded slightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, and 'manly husband', why do you talk so much?"

Yeli sighed deeply and walked up to Princess Zixi.

When facing Princess Zixi, Yeli breathed like a pant again: "I... I'm leaving, you're on your own... You have to watch out for yourself. ”

As he spoke, Yeli took out the fish intestine sword from his waist, held it in front of Princess Zixi with both hands and said: "This is a sword given by my father, called the fish intestine sword, which can blow hair and break hair, and is extremely sharp, I have been with me since I was three years old, and now I will give it to you for self-defense." ”

"This, this...... This is something that your father has given you, so valuable, I... How can I ask for it?" Zixi was unexpected, and refused slightly.
