North Barracks.

The only 50,000 soldiers stood quietly outside the camp, the cold autumn wind blew, and the soldiers were motionless, their faces like ashes. The enemy is Dayan, and it is a vicious battle that cannot be won for the northern wing. Cangluan gave them two paths: either they would kill themselves by hitting the stone with an egg, or they could honestly withdraw from the territory he had demarcated.

After a night of arguing, Tulle came out of the tent with empty eyes and declared an indisputable fact: "The Huns refused to send reinforcements, and now we are the only ones left." The ancestors had a training, and the territory should be defended to the death, but if you fight hard, the northern wings are about to be wiped out. This king is not cowardly, but does not want my people to be plagued. The king respects your wishes, and I give everyone three days to consider whether to advance or retreat. ”

The Beiban people advocate integrity and are never afraid of life and death, and the soldiers shouted angrily: "Fight, what are you afraid of, I'd rather be broken than broken!" ”

The people standing outside the fence shouted: "Even if I die here, I will not leave, and I must not forget the teachings of my ancestors!" ”

Tulle looked at the soldiers and people who were united, his eyes were scarlet, the more resolute the people, the more unbearable Tule was, he was reluctant to this territory, and even more reluctant to support his Li people, he did not want to bury them with his own hands.

Once upon a time, Tulle also agreed with Youyu's view, "Life is the most important thing." ”

"Is life used to compromise and endure humiliation, the king? It's better to die! ”

"Yes, I'd rather die than give in, I'd rather die than give in..."

Tulle couldn't give up, and shouted angrily: "What about the child, what about the child! ”

Mu Lang's throat was as bitter as lead, he raised his head to stop the tears of sorrow, and then lowered his head and took a deep breath. In a flash, he saw two figures walking in the vast withered grass in the distance, his dusty eyes reappeared, his heavy heart was □□ a little relieved, and he hurriedly ran towards the grass.

Mu Lang ran to Youyu and hugged his brother who had gone and returned, and punched Youyu happily and angrily: "Didn't you go to find a water source, why did you come back?" ”

Youyu also punched Mu Lang back: "Didn't the Central Plains declare war, how can you lie to me?" ”

Muller had mixed feelings for a while, he was fortunate that the two fish were not ungrateful, and the sad thing was that they were sent to death when they returned. "Why are you coming back?"

Youyu smiled far-fetchedly, pretending to be fearless: "Just like why you let us go." ”

Mu Lang stopped Youyu and the two of them from moving forward, and urged the two of them to leave: "The Central Plains is your mother clan, and the northern wing will not trap you in unkindness and injustice, so before everyone finds out about you, go quickly, don't come back." ”

"Do I still share you and me with the northern wing, I'll be with everyone." Youyu patted Mu Lang on the shoulder, and then walked firmly towards Thule.

Feng Danmiao grabbed Mu Lang and asked, "Is the king deciding to fight or retreat?" ”

"The king's heart is inclined to emigrate, but our warriors will not back down."

"Go and sue the soldiers, it is a dead end to fight hard, and if you don't save your life, you don't even have a chance to take revenge."

Mu Lang did not accept Feng Danmiao's meaning, and resisted: "The ancestors' legacy cannot be violated, we would rather die on the battlefield than be deserters." ”

The northern bureaucrats were stubborn, and Feng Danmiao tried his best to refute: "I think you are misreading the meaning of the ancestors, what is a nomad, the nature of the herdsmen is not afraid of a comeback, what kind of national integrity and belief, to put it bluntly, you just can't afford to lose!" Have you ever been concerned about someone? If Niansha is standing in front of you now, will you take her to escape or will you take her to meet the blade of Cangluan? ”

Mu Lang was struck by the heart, and there was no refutation for a while.

Feng Danmiao sensed that her tone was too heavy, and eased her feelings: "I'm serious, forgive me for my selfishness, I don't want to have fish lying in this troubled water." ”

"Then why did you sue him for the truth and let him come back."

"Do you think I'm willing to let him come back, if I don't tell him, he will hate me for the rest of my life when the truth is revealed," Feng Danmiao said, her hands and feet at a loss, frowning tightly, her heart was tormented, and there was a tingling pain in her head immediately.

Yes, he knew a way to save the North, but...

Mu Lang hugged Feng Danmiao with concern: "Do you have a headache?" Let's go back to camp and rest for a while. ”

Feng Danmiao looked at Mu Lang's sincere eyes, his eyes were like springs, clear and clean, ethereal and beautiful. Feng Danmiao can imagine what kind of sincere life Youyu had in Beifang, and he can also imagine how depressed Youyu was after the demise of this nation.

Feng Danmiao's conscience is unreprehensible, how can this nation, which has guarded Youyu for three years, abandon it.

After encountering Youyu again, he only wants to be a selfish villain who is insensitive and insensitive, even if others say that he is out of the affairs of his family and country, and he will not let Youyu damage a single penny. The funny thing is that now, God has arranged for Youyu to return to him, and he has to face this difficult choice: save the northern wing, let go of the fish, and save the fish, let go of the northern wing.

If there are fish that know, they will definitely choose to choose the small and the big.

How he had wished that Youyu would become strong, and now how he wanted Youyu to go back to the past, to be a weak man who ran away, cowered, and hid behind himself.

Feng Danmiao swallowed heavily and said bitterly, "Do you know that there are fish that can save the Northern Wing." ”

Mu Lang was stunned: "How can Guo Tanfu save us?" ”

Feng Danmiao's eyes trembled, looked up at the sky where Beichen was, and said word by word: "Because he is the king of Chen." ”

"King Chen!"

Mu Lang was taken aback, King Chen, who was admired by tens of thousands of people, was actually their concubine. Mu Lang recalled the hint of the dumb fisherman when he was in Lucheng, and realized that the fisherman was referring to Yu Youyu! However, "Why didn't Guo Tanfu know?" ”

"Cangluan posthumously named him King Chen after Youyu's death, Youyu is a thorn in Cangluan's eyes, and Cangluan doesn't dare to blatantly deal with Youyu."

Mu Lang realized: "So if we support Guo Tanfu as the king, Cangluan will not dare to touch us?" ”

"Retreat, just when I beg you, I don't want to have a fish and a mistake when I have to. Once a fish is discovered, although Cangluan is willing to let go of the northern wing, what will happen to the fish? ”

"How about they're going to take the gotan?"

"How? Why did Youyu fall to the north, why did the Central Plains expel him, why did he need to dress up when he returned home, because the Central Plains couldn't tolerate him, and Cangluan wanted to kill him! ”

Mu Lang shook his head in surprise, not knowing what unforgivable heinous crimes a fish could commit, or if the Central Plains was simply an unreasonable place. "What did Ke Guotan do wrong?"

"The fault is that his merits are high and the people are wanting. This is the reason why Cang Luan wants to kill him, and it is also the reason why Cang Luan does not dare to move him head-on. ”

It was only today that Mu Lang realized the hardship of Youyu, but because of this, he wanted to help Youyu get justice. "Hit! For Guotan to surface, we support Guotan above board and go to crusade against Cangluan, which is justified! ”

"Why don't you understand?" Feng Danmiao tried his best to persuade him, but before Mu Lang, he only felt that his resistance was powerless, but he had to convince Mu Lang, "You are right, but Cangluan has a way to demote you to a deception and a thief." ”

Mu Lang seemed to have nodded clearly, since Youyu is the king of Chen, then he naturally understands Feng Danmiao's selfishness, but there is still one thing that he can't understand, if there is a fish to ascend to the throne of the king of the northern wing, Cangluan may be willing to retreat, and then there will be a fish to stay in the northern wing, what kind of disaster will happen to make Feng Danmiao selfish to the point that he would rather let the three armies retreat than let Youyu come forward. The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the monarch is the parent, this is the truth that three-year-old children know.

Mu Lang's tone was a little disappointed, and he took a few steps back: "I know you care about the northern wing, but the weight of the northern wing in your heart is far less than that of Guo Tanfu, right?" I thought about it, if Niansha is alive, if her life can be exchanged for peace and stability in the north, I will not tie her, I will be honored for her sacrifice, and I believe she will be proud! Like you, I can't give up Guo Tanfu, but I won't give up all the people in the north for him alone. But in spite of this, I will respect your wishes, go or stay, and I will not stop you. ”

Mu Lang didn't want to argue with Feng Danmiao on this issue, so he took a breath and said: "Even if the king orders a retreat, more than half of the subjects will stay here without authorization to defend to the end and die for the country. I know that the people of the Central Plains say that our beliefs are ignorant, but what about ignorance, faith is faith and the soul of the country. ”

If it weren't for what he heard and saw with his own eyes, Feng Danmiao was afraid that it would be difficult for him to understand their "stupidity" that went deep into the bone marrow for the rest of his life, but it was also this indomitable ignorance that Feng Danmiao really understood another meaning of serving the country and being a person - not compromising, not forbearing, and not being obedient.

Feng Danmiao sincerely respects it, if it weren't for his own compromise to ask for all the fish, he wouldn't be displaced, if he had to chase the Central Plains and ascend to the emperor in one fell swoop to ensure that the fish were safe and not bullied, then a qiē's concerns were not worth considering.

Mu Lang saw that he didn't say a word, and planned to leave and let him be quiet and weigh up. Mu Lang was just about to leave, Feng Danmiao immediately grabbed him, his dim eyes suddenly became resolute and resolute, and he made up his mind to speak: "Persuade the king to abdicate and let Youyu ascend to the king." Send another half of the men and horses to quickly sneak into the Central Plains to spread the rumor that Cangluan is attacking the northern wings to murder King Chen, which must spread to every corner of the Central Plains and must alarm every prince. ”

Feng Danmiao saw it, Mu Lang was also relieved and uncomfortable, he didn't know the pain of losing his beloved. Mu Lang wiped away the extra tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes, and asked puzzledly: "For... Why send half of the soldiers and horses. ”

Feng Danmiao looked into the distance, his eyes were like tigers, like a hungry beast that couldn't help but devour the invading enemy immediately, but his demeanor was calm and unfazed, as if he was used to it. "To murder King Chen is to be the enemy of all people, all princes may become our allies, the sooner the news spreads, the better, let the bold and ambitious princes resist Cangluan from the bottom up, we will have more strength."

"Okay, let's go back to the camp and counsel with the king."

Feng Danmiao instantly became calm and calm, and for the first time, Mu Lang felt that he was a truly brave and warlike general, not a scholar, nor a teacher.

"Wait, you can't let Youyu know that he is King Chen."

"Why?"

"The more he doesn't know, the safer."
