To the northwest of Naoer City, two military horses galloped hard in the heavy snow, and each of them rode a horse, trudging through the vast snow that could no longer see whether it was a field or a road.

Ago, I'm ...... I can't walk......

One of the sergeants lay down on his horse, pulled down the masked that protected him from the wind and snow, and said loudly, and when he opened his mouth, the wind and snow poured into his mouth, choking him so that he could not speak, and this man spoke in Diren.

The other person grabbed the reins of the horse, turned his head, pulled down the masked towel and said: Ah Ci, hold on, we are not easy to hurry, and they are even more difficult to chase!

This person also spoke Di Ren, he glanced at the end of the white expanse of the road twice, and sneered: Such a big snowstorm, all the footprints are invisible, even the hunting dogs they raise don't want to smell the smell, it is impossible to find us!

He touched his arms, and said with a smile: We have obtained such important information from Qi people, and after we go back, Da Kun (Di Yu King) will definitely have a great reward, and maybe we can also be awarded Dagan (Di Ren's official position, a higher-grade military officer). Do you still remember the great beauty of our tribe, Si Siyuan, if you become a Dagan, she will definitely be willing to be your woman.

Ah Ci listened to Ah Wu's words, his spirit couldn't help but perk, he pressed under his ribs, there was originally a knife wound there, the outside was wrapped tightly with a long belt, and the oozing blood had frozen into ice.

His body was chilling for a while, and he really couldn't hold on anymore. He didn't know if he would be able to survive to return to the Di tribe, but thinking of that charming and graceful woman, Ah Ci's heart was hot. It was as if he was full of strength again.

Drive!

The two men whipped their horses and picked up speed again.

Ah Ci and Ah Wu are brothers in life and death, and they are both Di scouts - Dongdi Red Army. When sniping at the hundred horsemen, they killed a partner, because this person was fine the day before, and it is easy to arouse suspicion if he died of a violent illness, so they claimed that this person was killed by a horse thief, and this time he was also arrested by the government.

They could not tell the difference due to the stolen goods that had been taken out of their home. He has been detained in the barracks. Today, they were originally brought in for interrogation by the enemy god machine, but because they had been interrogated several times, their defense was too lax. After the enemy god machine left temporarily, only two people were left in the tent to guard, and they broke up and injured people, and then changed the clothes of the guards. seized the war horse and mixed out of the barracks.

They carry tokens on them. Able to leave calmly, Ah Ci's injuries were sustained on the way when the officers and soldiers found the pursuit, and due to the heavy wind and snow, they finally escaped from the pursuers.

Running and running, Ah Ci's eyes were dark, he raised his hand, wanted to shout something, but just plunged headlong into the snowdrift. The empty horse continued to run after Ago in front of him.

Ah Wuhun didn't notice that Ah Ci had fallen off his horse, and he lowered his head. Covered in frost and snow, his eyes were only left with a gap, and he stared closely in the direction ahead.

The wind and snow became more and more rapid and heavier, and one man and two horses gradually disappeared into the vast snow......

In the big tent of Qiu Shenji, Qian Renjie and Qiu Shenji stood there with ugly faces, two corpses lying on the ground that had been stripped of their military uniforms, and there were two corpses of guards across the tent, and gurgling blood stained the ground. On the side, a brazier that had been kicked over in the fight was not extinguished, and a faint red light still appeared.

Qiu Shenji's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: The two people at the tent were slashed from behind with a knife, and the two people in the tent had multiple scuffle scars on their bodies, apparently the person who responded and the two scouts who were on trial should be reconciled and killed them.

When Qiu Shenji said this, the two weed-like thick eyebrows revealed a dignified murderous aura, glared at Qian Renjie and said: In your army, there are their spies!

Qian Renjie ignored Qiu Shenji's questioning, his eyes just kept moving on the four corpses in the tent and at the mouth of the tent, with a contemplative expression on his face.

The deputy general couldn't help but say: This is Qian Gong's big tent of the Chinese army, and it seems unlikely that he will be mixed with Dongdi's spies.

Qiu Shenji sneered: However, how can these four corpses be explained? You wouldn't think two bound prisoners could kill four people so calmly, would you?

Adjutant General Dao: General Qiu only put two guards at the tent?

Qiu Shenji raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this enough?" It's just two prisoners who have been captured for many days and can't even eat enough, such a heavy snow, such a cold day, and in General Qian's Chinese army tent, do you want General Ben to scatter all the guards outside as if he were facing a great enemy?

The adjutant general had nothing to say when he heard this.

Qian Renjie slowly raised his head, looked at the empty cases, and then looked at the snowflakes at the tent that were swept in by the howling wind, and said worriedly: It doesn't matter how many prisoners they escaped, what matters is how many military planes they stole by hand...... General Qiu, which pass are you reading today?

……

In the vast snowfield, birds are extinct, and animal traces are rare.

In such a snowy weather, there is a team that is trudging hard.

The cold wind swept in the fine snow particles, making it almost impossible to open your eyes. It's too cold, and when you walk for a while, the leather robe will freeze hard as iron, and when you knock it with your hand, it will make a tom-tom sound, like a leather drum.

The horse's body was covered with a layer of white sweat, and the horse's hooves were walking very slowly on the thick snow. In such weather, Yao'er rode on a horse, and like the escort team, he marched hard against the wind and snow.

Brother Mi, come in and warm up!

Yao'er poked her head out of the warm spring-like car, she was really afraid of the cold, she was born in the country of hatred of the sky since she was a child, she had never tried such a severe cold, and there were four charcoal stoves in the car, which made it warm inside.

Mi Zibian shook his head and said loudly to her: This is good, boil it, sharpen the bones, and the body will be stronger.

Yao'er still wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she choked on a mouthful of wind and snow, and couldn't help shivering, so she quickly retracted back into the car and lowered the thick curtains.

He had a layer of marmot oil on his face, neck and hands, this thing had a really good anti-freezing effect, and he really didn't experience much of the severe cold in the north, but he knew that such a severe cold was very effective for the exercise of the body and will.

It's really surprising to think that this weak and stunning demon man has such perseverance.

Distance. A small black dot appeared, and the black dot moved very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a large snow plow. Yako's team also has snow climbing plows. It's just that it's pulled by a horse, but with the help of ice and snow, it can be easier to pull heavy loads forward. Due to the slow movement of the whole team, they did not need a dog-pulled climbing plow. The oncoming climbing plow was more than a dozen of the most outstanding snow hounds, and once the snow climbing plow was pulled, it was as fast as a flying arrow.

Really. The snow plow drove unhindered until it was stopped by the guards. Soon, a secret letter and Miko get into the car. The car continued to move forward, and the climbing plough also accompanied the large group of people, and the hounds pulling the climbing plough took the opportunity to rest their bodies.

When it's windy, the thick curtains are lowered. It was dark in the carriage. Now a light is on. The lamps are placed on a few cases. The bottom is also firmly fixed to the cutting board to prevent the car from jolting.

Mi Zixuan gently pushed a letter in front of Yao'er, and said in a deep voice: Something happened!

After reading the letter, Yao'er gently put it back on the table, Yazi took it with her hand, threw it into the charcoal stove, and the fire lit up, reflecting the faces of the two of them brightly and darkly.

Yao'er asked: The situation is very strict?

Mi Zi said: The enemy god machine went to Guzhu this time. He had the mission of personally understanding the geography, military, military equipment, and people's situation of Guzhu, that day. He just checked the information of several important border cities, and these materials were taken away by the two escaped Di scouts.

Yao'er frowned and said: So what?

Instead of answering, Yakotsu turned around and pulled a flick in the corner of the siding, and with a thud, a wooden board fell in response, cutting like a knife and falling on the soft carpet. A map appeared on the wallboard, and after a few glances, Yao'er recognized it as a geographical map of Linghua, Guzhu, and Northern Xinjiang.

Here, here, and here......

Mi Zixuan pointed all the way down, pointed to five or six places in a row, and said: These places are all military passes to defend the Di people, relying on the dangerous mountain terrain, the Di people want to attack Guzhu, only from these places to attack, if one of these fortresses falls into their hands, it is equivalent to being opened by them, and the Qi country will be completely passive.

Yao'er looked at the place where Mi Zixuan pointed all the way, between the continuous desert and the lofty mountains, these cities that could communicate the territory of the Di people and the lonely bamboo were very scattered, and they were distributed within the three major military regions.

Miko said: In such weather, it is not easy to mobilize troops and horses, and there is no way to replenish enough troops in these places until the direction of the opponent's main attack cannot be determined. Once the details of these key points are grasped by the Di people, and they choose the place to attack and occupy them, their armies can continue to break through this gap.

Yao'er frowned slightly, and said: The defenders here still have to divide part of their troops to guard against Dongdi, so they have to transfer troops from the court.

Miko said: Not bad! However, the troops were transferred from the Central Plains, the distance was long, and the infantry were mainly infantry, and they traveled long distances in such weather, and they did not know how long it would take to arrive, and by the time they arrived, these places would have long since become rotten, and we might be able to drive them back again and retake these key passes, but this would cause many problems.

Yao'er Dao: First, it is natural that it is the destruction of these areas and the extravagance of labor expeditions.

Mi Zixuan nodded and said: Second, Tian Qiniang wants to send troops, and she will inevitably reuse the generals under the Tian clan, and I am afraid that the subordinates of this military power will fulfill Tian Sansi or Tian Chengqian's wishes. For the time being, it doesn't matter who the military power falls into, as long as this general is good at fighting and daring to fight, and can drive the Di people back. But in the long run, it is not suitable for the national fortune with me!

Yao'er nodded, she naturally understood the meaning of Mizi's words, if Tian Chengqian or Tian Sansi's generals had the military power, they would also spare no effort to defeat the Di people, but this military power was also in their hands, the wolves outside drove away, but there was a tiger at home, and there were endless troubles.

Yao'er thought for a while and said: Presumably there is a third?

Mi Zixuan nodded lightly, and said worriedly: I'm afraid that Yan Guo will not miss the opportunity. Once this gap is opened, it is not something that can be done in three or two months to wait until the troops are transferred from the Central Plains and then drive the Di people back and clean up the situation here.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Guzhu region, if the Yan Kingdom intervenes again, this battle may not be completed in a year, and the contradictions between the king of Dongdi and the prime minister are bound to be introduced.

In this process, if either the king of Dongdi or the great minister Qingmo has the power of the expeditionary army and wins a big battle, they will have enough capital to overwhelm the other side, then they can easily overwhelm the other side.

Or, the Great Prime Minister Qingmo turned King Dongdi into a puppet; Or, if the king of Dongdi completely deprives Qing Mo of his military power, so as to resolve the internal conflict by peaceful means, if they unify the power of the king and the prime minister without any loss, it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future.

Hearing this, Yao'er couldn't help but feel a little headache, and couldn't help but ask: What is the best way for Brother Mi?

Mi Zi was silent for a long time, and said faintly: Are you the king of Daqi today? Even if I were the king, I would have nothing to do unless I was given a man from the sky.

Yao'er couldn't help but fall silent when she heard this.

Mi Zixuan sighed and said: Qian Renjie is worthy of being a veteran guarding the border, and he has done his best to make up for it. The first is to notify all key passes to use ice and snow to strengthen the city defense; the second is to inform the guards of Gumo and Naoer, and together with him, draw troops as much as possible to supplement the key passes ahead; The third is to send someone to return to Lin'an as soon as possible and report the matter to the queen.

If the queen's side can prepare early, once there is a war here, the speed of dispatching troops and horses will be faster. In addition to this, he has no other way, it is impossible not to prepare for these things, once he is prepared, he can't hide it from the eyes of people who have a heart, so he can't play the 'empty city plan' if he wants to set up a suspicious array.

Mizi leaned back to the couch happily, and said in a low voice: Go back to Lin'an, first submit the secret military report about Guzhu, as for the matter of supporting the Xidi Eight Tribes, you can also tell the queen that there are advantages and disadvantages, and this time it is more necessary to support them, but don't mention the matter of sending troops to recapture Linghua, so once the military is delayed, I don't know how many years it will be delayed, and the longer it is delayed, the more difficult it will be......

Yao'er got off the carriage and rode on the horse, she needed to think, as if there was a fire burning in her heart, a series of changes, her heart was filled with an inexplicable resentment, but she didn't know who to vent this anger to. The wind and snow were blowing, but she couldn't feel the cold anymore, she only hoped that the wind and snow would be bigger, and the resentment in her heart could be soothed.

Yazixuan wrote a reply, and the person in the leather robe and wrapped tightly took the letter, ready to board the dog plow and leave, Yao'er suddenly thought of something, and shouted violently: Stop!

The man looked back in amazement, and his head was tightly wrapped, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Yao'er turned over and dismounted, and said to him: Wait, I still have something to say to your master!

Yao'er boarded the car, pulled the door open, and the cold wind poured into the car again.

Yao'er didn't close the door, and said loudly to Mi Zixuan in front of the four charcoal stoves that were blown by the wind and the flames were gushing: The result of this contest of strength may not be something we can decide! But can we add a variable to it? (Want to know more exciting news about "Plain Hand Dyeing Spring and Autumn"?)
