The wide streets and fluttering banners of Beiguan City show that it was once prosperous, but now the streets are sparsely populated by pedestrians, patrolling soldiers go one after another, and many shops are boarded, all of which are depressed. Gao Han walked down the street and looked left and right, seemingly unintentionally but skillfully avoiding the attention of the patrolling soldiers. After walking for a long time, except for a few grain stores, there were a few old farmers who carried the burden and sold vegetables, and there was no loud shouting, just walking on the street with their heads muffled.

Gao Han has seen this kind of scene too much, and every time it makes him sad, Gao Han turned a corner and saw a store that was not on the board. Gao Han stopped to look at a small rice shop, and it can be seen from the aging of the building wood that this shop has been around for some years, and Gao Han involuntarily walked in.

Lifting the heavy cotton curtain, a warmth came to his face, and an old man in front of him was refilling firewood into the stove, and on the stove was a large copper kettle that was whining, Gao Han looked around and there was no customer, coughed lightly, looked around, found a table and sat down.

"Whoa, here's a guest!" the old man turned around when he heard the voice, wiped his hands on the oily apron, took a pot of tea and put it on Gao Han's seat and poured a cup of tea for Gao Han, picked up a rag and wiped it vigorously on the originally clean table, leaving a series of water marks, Gao Han looked down and saw that the desktop was made of three boards, the black lacquer of the whole desktop was shiny, and the two fine seams on the table could be stuffed with chopsticks due to the relationship of time.

"This guest officer is from the mainland?" the old man asked, glancing at Gao Han, who was covered in wind and dust.

"My husband has good eyesight. Gao Han picked up the tea bowl and took a shallow sip.

The old man was about sixty years old but his face was full of red light, and he walked very lightly, and his hands were also very neat, but his body was a little stiff. The old man took a clean towel from the counter table, handed it to Gao Han and said, "The wind in Saibei is tight, most people have high cheekbones and deep eye sockets, and their skin is not as smooth as that of a guest officer. ”

Gao Han took the towel and wiped his face and hand, handed it back, and the old man smiled: "Oh! ”

"The little old man has lived for a long time, and he has a little bit of knowledge. Saying that, he pinched his thumb and little finger and made a gesture, and then said: "The person who ordered the meal has not yet come, what do you order, I will make it for you quickly." ”

"Do you?" Gao Han looked around and said, "You are alone in this store?"

"Hey! There was another guy before, and my son can handle it when he's busy, isn't this a war! They joined the army together! Anyway, I'm not busy now, I'm just alone, and when the battle is over, I'm looking for one." The old man replied with a smile, but Gao Han could see that the old man was worried when he mentioned his child.

"Okay, old man, you can just have three dishes. Well, another half a pound of wine, I haven't tasted the spirits of Saibei for a long time, and the rice, I don't need to be hungry. ”

"Okay, you can wait a minute, and you'll have it right away. The old man turned and walked to the back kitchen, and after a while the old man brought a pot of wine and three side dishes.

Gao Han glanced at it and it was not bad, Gao Han stretched out his hand to beckon the old man to sit down and poured a cup for the old man, and also poured himself a glass and said: "It's not interesting for the old man to drink alone, how about you not be busy drinking with the kid now?"

Most of the people in Saibei are good at wine and are arrogant and straightforward, although the old man is old, he is also greedy for the contents of this cup, and when he saw that the guest officer was intentionally inviting each other, he took the wine glass and drank it to the two of them. Wine is a good thing, the two people who have never known each other drank a glass of wine with both hands, and then it was like becoming familiar friends. Gao Han intentionally or unintentionally got a lot of the current situation from the old people, this Beiguan City has been all soldiers, and most of the young sons and daughters in the city have been conscripted into the army, but the situation is still not optimistic.

"Old Fang, come to two pots of wine and four dishes, and today the brothers will be relieved. "Four soldiers walked in, chatting with the old man and cooking around the fire. The cold had already frozen their bodies, and the fire in front of them was the only trace of heat in the day.

"A few heads are late today. With that, the old man stood up and greeted a few guests.

"What a head, it's almost pus, the damn thief won't let us live a good life. It's still an old house, you're leisurely, and you are so comfortable to pour yourself a drink. One of the soldiers said.

"Hey, this isn't..." The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to Gao Han's seat, and said lightly, "Eh, what about the guest officer who invited me to dinner?"

"Old Fang, didn't you drink too much, who is there here, miss your son!"

The old man also felt strange, and went straight to the seat just now, and thought: "I am clearly drinking with a person here and talking very happily, why is it gone?"

In the Xia Mansion, Gao Han stood in front of the gate of the mansion and the two soldiers stepped forward to ask, and when they heard Gao Han's name, the soldiers hurriedly reported inside, and immediately a housekeeper trotted over and invited Gao Han in. Xia Boyuan was having dinner in the house at this time, and when he heard that Gao Han was coming, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, greeted him, and the two met in the courtyard.

Xia Boyuan knelt down and bowed when he saw him and said: "The last general is late, don't blame the handsome man." "Most of the generals of Beiguan are the old department of the former Qin Dongguan, Gao Han, as the former Qin Dongguan marshal, is the top boss of Xia Boyuan and others, see Gao Han today, Xia Boyuan involuntarily knelt in front of Gao Han.

Gao Han stretched out his hand and said, "Gao is not a handsome man for a long time, Bo Yuan still shouldn't be so polite." ”

The two exchanged a few words of greeting, Xia Boyuan led Gao Han to the main hall, and someone had already invited Shao Gongan and Zuo Qinghou out, Gao Han saw that the two were lying on the soft collapse, and their faces were bleak, obviously seriously injured, and their hearts were also mixed, and Chen didn't know what to say. Xia Boyuan invited Gao Han to the main seat, knelt down in front of Gao Han again and said: "Presumably Lu Shuai has already informed Shuai Ye of the situation in Beiguan, and now there is no way to wait for Beiguan's internal and external troubles, and now it all depends on Shuai Ye, you can't see death and not save it!" Xia Boyuan has been worried about tea and rice these days, and the military and government of Beiguan are all tied to him, and now the arrival of Gao Han's Dinghai Shen Needle has allowed Xia Boyuan's suppressed emotions in the past few days to be vented, Xia Boyuan's words were earnest, and he had tears in his eyes, and he grabbed Gao Han's legs while talking.

Gao Han shook his head slightly, picked Xia Boyuan up and said, "Boyuan, you are also through things, even a general who can take charge alone should not cry like this." ”

Shao Gongan said: "Shuai Ye, Lao Xia has been really anxious these days, and there is no one around him to share it, please forgive Shuai Ye for being afraid of such a gaffe all day long." ”

Zuo Qinghou struggled to turn over his head and kept knocking on the bed board and said: "The last general and the handsome man have not seen each other for ten years, but now they can't meet the handsome man, and look at the handsome man for forgiveness." ”

"Alright, alright! Everything is with me, you don't have to be like this. Gao Han hurriedly reassured.

Gao Han and the three of them carefully understood the deployment of the blood clan's army, Huilong Town and Baisha Beach were already under the control of the blood clan, and Zhou Tianzi Lu Yuan was trapped in the Heiyun Mountain eighty miles northwest, and the situation was grim.

Xia Boyuan asked: "Shuai Ye, why don't we sneak attack and kill Heiyun Mountain at night, and join forces with Your Majesty to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop?"

Gao Han stroked his beard and looked at the map and said: "Not to mention whether the Beiguan army can kill Heiyun Mountain, even if the Baisha River runs for eighty miles, I am afraid that Mochuan will already know." From the previous times Yonglin fought against him, it can be seen that Mochuan's army is extremely combative, and the army of three and a half million was easily dispersed by him, and this method is probably inappropriate. ”

The three of them put forward several countermeasures in a row, but they were not good strategies, so the three of them all looked at Gao Han, not knowing what Gao Han thought in his heart.

Gao Han smiled slightly and said: "Actually, it's not difficult, since Mo Chuan trapped Lu Yuan, then Gao captured Mo Chuan." ”

Xia Boyuan hurriedly said: "Shuai Ye must not! Even if you regard the Northern Camp as nothing, but Mo Chuan is by no means an ordinary person! Lu Shuai was forced to retreat by him with one palm in the first battle with him, and the other four masters are also unfathomable, you must not take risks alone!" Shao Gongan and Zuo Qinghou have fought with the leaders of the blood clan, and they know the power of the blood clan, and the two of them persuaded each other again and again and refused to let Gao Han go.

In the midst of everyone's persuasion, Gao Han's face became more and more cold, and the sword eyebrows swept lightly and the three of them snorted coldly: "Gao was already famous all over the world when he was twenty years old, and at the age of twenty-five, he worshiped Pingbo Dinghai, the marshal of Dongguan, do you also know?"

Xia Boyuan was terrified in his heart, knelt in front of Gao Han and clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Shuai Ye is angry, I dare not disobey Shuai Ye's will, I only wish Shuai Ye success in the battle." ”

"That's it!" Gao Han shook his hand behind his back and walked out and said, "Wait here, I'll bring Lu Yuan back tomorrow." ”

"Send Shuai Ye!" Xia Boyuan trembled and didn't dare to get up.

The three of them looked at each other but didn't know what to do, Shao Gong'an took the lead in speaking: "We have followed Lu Shuai to fight in the south and the north, and we have made a lot of achievements, and we all regard ourselves as some kind of general, which is ridiculous and ridiculous." ”

Zuo Qinghou was still sobbing: "I don't know if the handsome man can succeed in this trip." ”

Xia Boyuan stood up, patted the soil on his body, took a sip of tea, calmed down, and said, "Don't talk about what happened just now, if the blood clan learns about Gao Shuai, it will be dangerous." ”

Gao Han strode out of the Xia Mansion, and wanted to chat with a few people to catch up, but when he saw the appearance of Xia Boyuan and the others, he suddenly lost his mind. Gao Han walked a few streets to find an inn that was still open and lived in, Gao Han wanted to rest and recuperate, and wait until night to explore the blood camp.

Late at night, in the big tent, Mo Chuan and the four masters were still drinking and having fun, everything had already been arranged by Mo Chuan, and only when Zhou Tianzi couldn't bear to go out of the mountain to beg for peace, it was the time when the five clans won a big victory.

More than ten elite guards outside the tent guarded the big tent, several teams of patrol soldiers passed by from time to time, Mo Chuan picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink with the four of them, only to feel in a trance The big tent was opened, and a person swaggered in.
