With the bodies of the wounded sergeants and the soldiers killed in battle, the army slowly walked towards Blackwater City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the whole team, the atmosphere was oppressive and dull, and everyone did not make a sound, just gritted their teeth. During the journey, in addition to the groans of the wounded, there was the sound of people and horses stepping on the snow.

Qu Wei inspected the situation from the back of the team, then rode to Situ Jingtian's side, looked at Situ Jingtian's silent side face, he thought about it and spoke.

"Prince, the last general has asked the sergeant to kill all the wounded and disabled war horses, and together with the war horses that have been stoned to death, they are all brought up with a temporary climbing plow, and they are all transported back to Blackwater City."

"We don't have much food anymore, and there are still so many wounded people who need to be nourished. These meat ...... and can't be wasted! ”

After a pause, Qu Wei looked at Situ Sedum's face.

"You're doing the right thing, I didn't think about it, and almost wasted this horse meat. It's an extraordinary time, these horses are disabled, and we don't have the ability to heal them, so let's let them go. In this way, we can also have some meat. ”

Seeing Qu Wei nodding approvingly, Situ Jingtian finally had some expression on his face. He raised his hand and patted Qu Wei's shoulder, and sighed softly.

"General Sun's men have all been arrested, right? After going back, you must have a good interrogation, and you must find out who sent General Sun in. ”

Today's events made Situ Jingtian very angry. He never imagined that in the face of major national affairs, there would still be people who would disregard the interests of the country and collude with the enemy.

As for who General Sun is, in fact, there is already a guess in Situ Jingtian's heart, but it is still necessary to confirm it.

Looking back at the marching procession, Situ Jingtian felt very heartbroken. When he set out, he was a high-spirited 40,000 soldiers, but in the canyon, he lost nearly 4,000 men and horses.

In fact, when General Di's people went up the mountain, they found from the traces left at the scene that there were not many people left on the mountain in Yanhuo Country at that time, that is, only a few thousand.

As for the rest of the people, they were also asked from General Sun's adjutant general. Those men and horses all withdrew through the valley early, and Yan Yanyuan only left these thousands of people, specially staying on the mountain to use Situ Sedum's strategy to attack his men and horses in turn.

First, it is to delay time and create a chance for the large army to escape; Second, in order to retaliate against Situ Sedum, he deliberately left some people to slap Situ Sedum's face.

There are a lot of rocks on the mountain, thanks to the 30,000 infantry led by General Di who came in time, so that the Yanhuo people on the mountain were jealous, so they quickly withdrew. Otherwise, the sergeants in the valley would have suffered even more heavy casualties, and even the 9,000 men and horses might be wiped out.

With more time than when they came, the army did not rest all night, and walked for nearly four hours before returning to Blackwater City when it was close to the hour.

When the soldiers defending the city saw the returning army on the wall, they immediately opened the gates and welcomed the army back.

There was grief on everyone's faces, for they had already received news from the spies who had rushed back in the early hours of the morning. Everyone already knew that the army had been ambushed by the Yanhuo Nation and suffered heavy casualties.

The matter of arranging for the sergeants to rest and heal, as well as the disposal of the bodies of the fallen soldiers, was handed over to the experienced Qu Wei and General Di, and Situ Jingtian took the rest of the generals into the county office.

"Prince, it's good to be back, you're not injured, right?"

As soon as Situ Jingtian walked into the gate of the county government, General Liu, Liu Chuyuan, and Mu Gang had already run out quickly.

General Liu took Situ Jingtian's hand and looked him up and down, which was a relieved sigh of relief.

"You're tired too, let's go in and talk. You've all worked hard, go back and rest first, and I'll talk about it later. ”

After saying something to the rest of the generals, General Liu took Situ Jingtian's arm and returned to the county government hall first.

Unlike the cold outside, there was a brazier burning in the council hall, and the warm air was blowing in his face, and it was only at this time that Situ Jingtian felt that his hands and feet were already a little stiff.

"Sit down and warm up with some hot tea."

Seeing that he was pressed to the chair by General Liu today, Mu Gang hurriedly poured Situ Sedum a cup of boiling hot ginger tea.

Liu Chuyuan was not idle, he had already stood behind Situ Jingtian and began to help him take off his armor.

After a busy time, Situ Jingtian finally changed into the clean clothes sent in by the guards, sat by the fire, and began to tell General Liu, Liu Chuyuan, and Mu Gang what happened.

"It's hateful, I didn't expect this General Sun to be a traitor, he killed well, but it was too easy for him to die!"

After listening to Situ Jingtian's narration, Liu Chuyuan immediately slapped the table angrily.

For them, the frontier guards, what they hated was the troublemaking of conspirators and the appearance of traitors. Because of the traitors, there are too many dead and wounded soldiers. Therefore, at the border pass, as long as you know who the traitor is, the traitor will definitely not end well.

"Could it be ......, do you suspect that General Sun is from the second prince's side!"

Seeing that Situ Jingtian's face was cold, and his eyes were still flashing with worry and coldness, General Liu's mind flashed with a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly asked.

"Yes, I am the one who doubts that General Sun is Zhou Zichuan, or it can be said that it is Situ Jingxuan's person. Since they were able to collude with Yan Yanyuan, they must have great intentions. I'm very worried about the situation in Anjing City now, and I don't know if Situ Jingxuan and Zhou Zichuan will do anything in Anjing City. ”

Nodding slowly, Situ Jingtian said worriedly.

"General Liu, please prepare the Flying Eagle, I will write a letter later, and let the Flying Eagle pass the information back."

"Yes, don't worry, the two flying eagles here have been trained for a long time, and their endurance and cold resistance are first-class, and they won't go wrong."

Liu Chuyuan received the order and hurriedly walked towards the eagle room where the letter eagle was raised, ready to check the state of the letter eagle in person.

After a tiring day, I didn't rest all night. Situ Jingtian was also very tired, and after eating the breakfast that Mu Gang had brought him, he was persuaded to go back to his room to rest.

By the afternoon, Liu Chuyuan, who had already fed Xinying and could leave at any time, waited for a long time and didn't see Situ Sedum come out, so he couldn't help but feel curious.

"General, the letter eagle is ready, and the prince's letter is ready. The prince has been asleep for almost six hours, why hasn't he gotten up yet? He didn't eat lunch, and he was almost done again. ”

"Indeed, the prince never slept for so long, even if he was tired, it was impossible not to eat two meals in a row."

General Liu and Mu Gang both sensed that something was not right, the two glanced at each other, and hurriedly walked towards Situ Jingtian's room. (To be continued.) )
