Meng struggled on the line of life and death for several days, occasionally waking up, and the bitter smell of medicine always poured into his mouth and nose.

During this period, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, failed to attack the Yan army's camp, but was attacked from front to back and fell into encirclement. The generals who led the troops to attack the battalion did not expect the Yan army to return to the division so quickly, and they were quickly defeated in a hurry, and they were no longer able to organize resistance.

It is said that the corpses in front of the Yan army camp are like mountains, and the blood is flowing like a river.

Shen Xuan alone was like a fierce god descending into the world, and the armor on his body and the spear in his hand were dyed dark red.

The murderous aura was pervasive, and neither the Southern Army nor the Yan Army dared to approach, and even the battle-hardened fierce Zhu Neng was shocked.

Where is this war, it is clearly a one-sided killing.

How many people he killed, I'm afraid Shen Xuan himself doesn't know.

Xu Huizu saw that King Yan was coming back for help, and the governor couldn't do anything, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army.

As everyone knows, it is easy to come, but it is difficult to leave.

Seeing the retreat of the southern army, Shen Xuan pulled a war horse, jumped up, and led the Yanshan guards to chase and kill all the way, biting hard.

Zhu Neng led Yanshan Zuowei to follow closely, and sighed while chasing, Shen Liang, the former Marquis of Dingyuan, was a murderer, but he didn't think that his son was more fierce than Lao Tzu! This drive, Xu Huizu is currently going to be stabbed.

This kid was ruthless before, but he didn't see it like this.

Where did Wei Guogong provoke him?

Shen Xuan chased and killed all the way, the corpses of the fallen Southern Army, and the discarded ordnance stretched for miles, and even the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Xu Huizu arranged for three strands of soldiers to break off one after another, and he didn't want to be solved by the two charges, and he couldn't buy more time for the army to retreat.

Soon, Wei Guogong's banner fell into view, Shen Xuan's eyes were red, and he pulled the reins of the horse and rushed straight up.

Zhu Neng shook off the blood stains on the long knife, and was also aroused to kill. Xu Zhong, who arrived later, licked his lips, this battle was fought, hey!

"Kill!"

Under the leadership of several main generals, the Yan army pursued and killed all the way, killing the southern army in a daze, and did not withdraw and return until noon.

In the battle, although Xu Huizu's sudden arrival failed to completely break He Fu'an's camp, it completely hit the morale of the southern army.

How is peace, what about Xu Huizu, even a veteran like He Fu is not enough to see!

Dare to attack the Yan army camp? Let's kill one by one, and kill one by two!

Shen commands mighty!

General Zhu is mighty!

His Royal Highness King Yan will definitely be able to lead everyone into Nanjing and overthrow the emperor...... No, Jing is difficult to succeed, Qingjun side!

Listening to the story of the pro-soldiers, Meng slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Touching the side of the waist, this knife was finally not in vain.

The curtain was lifted, and Dr. Zhao walked in, followed by two doctors.

One doctor put down the medicine box, and the other went outside the tent to fetch water to clean Dr. Zhao's hands.

"Meng Tongzhi can wake up, so it's fine." Doctor Zhao sat on the edge of the couch, pressed his fingers lightly on Meng's wrist, and after a long time, he smiled and said, "I know that my body is thin, and I have to be taken care of by Commander Shen, otherwise I don't know how many sins I will suffer when I march for days." ”

Meng Shi woke up from time to time, and his memory was very vague.

Shen Xuan has been taking care of him?

Subconsciously looked at the top of the tent, and sure enough, the patch he had personally put on was impressive.

This is Shen Xuan's big tent, not a wounded barracks.

"I'm tired of Dr. Zhao."

"You're welcome." Dr. Zhao carefully picked Meng up and untied the strip of cloth around his waist, the wound was not red, swollen and inflamed, and had begun to scab.

"Hiss......"

When Dr. Zhao started to change the dressing, Meng twisted his eyebrows in pain.

Thinking back to someone Tang who stuck a knife in his back, he hated to give him an old punch in front of him. But he didn't have a chance. The day after the camp was attacked, Tang Zi, the chief secretary of Pei County, and Huang Qian, the chief secretary of Pei County, and Huang Qian and others were dragged to the front of the camp and beheaded, regardless of whether they knew it or not, none of them were left.

The soldiers in charge of their care were also beaten with sticks, and the general flag was doubled.

No one complained.

The camp was attacked, the generals in the army were not there, Meng Linwei took on the heavy responsibility, organized everyone to resist the enemy, protected the grain and grass, and supported the army to help, which was tantamount to saving everyone Yiming, and everyone in the army praised it. Especially the Yan army, who was ordered to stay behind, was more grateful to Meng Huai. If the camp was broken by Wei Guogong's army, the consequence would not be as simple as losing grain and grass.

The morale of the army is bound to be in turmoil, and the rout of the whole army is possible.

Desperately hit Hebei, non-stop through Shandong, the capital is in front of you, something went wrong at this time, not to mention that King Yan and the generals in the army are strangled, and even the Huotou army and the military doctors will not be reconciled.

How much does everyone's admiration and gratitude for Meng have, and how deep their resentment is towards Xu Huizu.

There are not a few villains who smoke the soles of their shoes in the corners, and there are also those who scold Xu Huizu himself, but they dare not greet the ancestors of the Xu family. Princess Yan and Wei Guogong are brothers and sisters, and the three brothers Zhu Gaochi are Xu Huizu's nephews, who dares to greet Xu Huizu's ancestor? It's definitely tired.

After changing the wound medicine, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Meng's head.

The hands and feet are heavy, and when you move, the wound hurts.

"After using the medicine, Tongzhi has a good rest." Doctor Zhao stared at Meng pinching his nose and drank the whole bowl of soup and medicine, then nodded with satisfaction, packed up the medicine box, and said, "The army has arrived in Meishan, and it should stop for two to three days. ”

"Doctor Xie, I will definitely do it."

Enduring the bitter taste in his mouth, Meng finally said it neatly.

It's so bitter, so bitter that he has a big tongue when he speaks.

Good medicine is bitter, but it can't be bitter like this, right?

After Dr. Zhao left, Meng rinsed his mouth with half a bowl of water, moistened his throat, and barely suppressed the bitter taste. I have to drink this kind of medicine for half a month, how can I get by?

Grit your teeth, for the sake of your body, you have to endure no matter how hard you are!

The external medicine is very effective, and the wound gradually spreads a cool and very comfortable.

There seems to be a hypnotic ingredient in the decoction, or his body is too weak, Meng yawned, and his eyelids began to heavily.

Seeing that Meng was asleep again, the soldiers didn't dare to disturb him, so they walked lightly and withdrew from the big tent.

The curtain fell, obscuring the sound of the rain outside the tent, and there was only silence.

Meng Yiye slept until evening.

Half-asleep and half-awake, it was as if I smelled the aroma of food. Meng sniffled, opened his eyes with some difficulty, and a large bowl of noodle soup was placed on a low table not far from him, and the heat and aroma of the noodles wafted in the tent.

The fragrance kept rushing into his nostrils, his saliva was dripping, his stomach was roaring, and Meng Shishilang was completely awake.

"Awake?"

Just as he was about to stretch out his hand, a familiar voice sounded above his head, and when he raised his head, Ruyu's face came into view.

"Command."

"Yes."

Shen Xuan got up and picked up the big bowl on the table, sat down beside Meng, picked up a chopstick noodle in his longing gaze, and then sent it into his mouth with elegant movements.

Meng was stunned, what is the situation?

Didn't the noodles be for him?

One bite, another bite.

In normal times, it is a pleasure to watch beautiful women eat.

But now, he's a wounded, a hungry wounded! How inhumane it is to eat at the wounded who roar in the stomach!

"Command."

"What?"

"I'm hungry."

"Oh." Nodding his head and continuing to eat.

Meng Shishilang had a few green tendons popping up on his head, and he was vicious to the side of his guts, "Shen Ziyu! ”

Shen Xuan stopped his chopsticks and raised his eyebrows, "En? ”

Meng someone's breath was suddenly pierced, "...... I am hungry. ”

If you can't be strong, pretend to be pitiful, right?

The big hand suddenly held up the back of Meng's neck, and the handsome face suddenly approached, and gently rubbed the tip of his nose.

His foreheads pressed against each other, and his deep voice was filled with pity, "Twelve Lang Mo worries me like this again. ”

Listening to Shen Xuan's words, Meng's eyes were a little sour.

Is it that after being injured, you will be more fragile and become sentimental?

Shen Xuan pulled Meng into his arms, and his deep voice drowned in Meng's hair, with an emotion that almost wrapped him up, "In the future, I will protect you." ”

The heart is gripped up.

His chin rested on Shen Xuan's shoulder, rubbed it, and Meng closed his eyes.

For the first time in two lifetimes, someone said such things to him.

What to do?

How to react?

The originally clever person was a little stupid at this moment.

Sure enough, people in XX will become fools?

The stomach began to bark out of place, Meng was helpless, opened his eyes, and bit his lip, "Ziyu." ”

"Yes."

"I'll let you protect it."

"Okay."

"So, can you let me eat noodles first?"

Shen Xuan's face darkened.

The first confession in Hou's second generation was ruined by Meng Shishilang.

Good memories or something are destined to be wasted.

"Ziyu?"

Hou Erdai didn't speak, and his face was black.

"Command?"

Continue not to speak, continue to be in the black face.

After pondering for a long time, he was ruthless, and said tentatively: "The master? ”

"......" can't go on dark.

Biting the side of Meng's neck hard, Shen Xuan sighed, the person was chosen by himself, admit it.

The noodles are very strong, still hot, just in the mouth.

Picking up the chopsticks, Meng Shishilang found that his hands and feet were weak, and he didn't have much strength at all.

If you can't hold the bowl, you can't eat it on your stomach, right?

In desperation, the big bowl was taken by Shen Xuan, the chopsticks were taken away, and a chopstick noodle was directly delivered to his mouth.

Meng was suddenly a little embarrassed, unproductive! It's really unproductive!

I wanted to say something, but as soon as my mouth opened, the rich fragrance of the face instantly spread between my lips and teeth.

puffed up one cheek raiser and looked at the second generation of Hou who no longer had a black face, is this a sunny day after the rain?

"Twelve-Lang is thin-skinned, I'm in a hurry." Shen Xuan smiled gently, his fingers wiped the noodle soup from the corner of Meng's mouth and brought it to his lips, and his every move was extremely charming.

The emotion is gone, and the shyness is gone.

A cool air rose behind Meng Shishilang, the situation was not right!

A muffled thunder suddenly sounded outside the tent, Meng shuddered, and said busily; "There's no hurry, no at all!"

"Twelve Lang don't have to be reluctant."

"No, absolutely not!"

"Oh?"

"I really don't think anything else, it's just the first time I've heard someone say something like this, I'm inexperienced, and I'm a little ......"

"Experience?" Shen Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled deeper, "Who else do you want to hear from Twelve Lang?" ”

Meng's blocked head was finally straightened out and smarter, "Shen Ziyu." ”

Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Really? ”

"Nature."

"Good."

gave a satisfactory answer, Meng Shishilang was safe, and Hou Erdai continued to feed.

That night, Meng was held in Shen Xuan's arms and slept well.

When I woke up in the morning, Shen Xuan was no longer in the tent, and I carefully touched the injured waist, which seemed to be much better.

At night, Shen Xuan kept holding him, carefully avoiding the wound and not allowing him to turn over easily.

Touching his ears and sleeping well, Shen Xuan may not be able to.

When the soldiers outside the tent heard the voice, they asked, "Are you awake?" ”

"Wake up, come in."

The curtain was opened, the sun poured in, the rain continued, and people were about to get moldy, and it was rare to see a sunny day.

"Look at the mark, Tongzhi's spirit is much better."

The soldiers first brought hot water, and then brought two large bowls, a bowl of sliced stew, and a bowl of pimple soup that was not common in the army.

"What is this?"

"Returning to the same knowledge is a little bit of the heart of the fireheads." The soldiers put down the bowl, helped Meng to get up, twisted the cloth towel and handed it to him first, and then continued, "Tongzhi led everyone to guard the camp and kept the grain and grass, His Royal Highness King Yan was happy, and the fireheads also received a lot of rewards, and they were all grateful to Tongzhi. If you don't know that Tongzhi is seriously injured and can't be easily disturbed, you want to thank Tongzhi in person. ”

Got the reward of King Yan but was grateful to him?

Meng frowned, covered his face with a cloth towel, and after a while, he said, "You can help me bring a word and tell everyone that it is our duty to guard the camp." Meng is also responsible, and he doesn't need to be thanked. Everyone is loyal to the prince, and it is fundamental to serve the prince to death. ”

"Acquaintance?"

"If someone wants to thank me with you, just answer like that, and don't say anything else."

"I know, I am afraid that I will offend people in this way."

"It's okay, do as I say."

"Obey!"

Putting down the cloth towel, Meng picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, thinking in his heart while chewing, it was not enough to let the soldiers pass the word, he had to mention a few words to Commander Shen.

Suddenly remembered Shen Xuan's words last night, protecting him? What does it have to do with it?

Shaking his head, eighty percent of him was thinking too much.

It's a good thing to be appreciated by the big guys, it's not wrong to gather a few henchmen on a small scale, and it's not good to win the hearts of the people on a large scale.

The lessons of the past are not far away, working under King Yan, and being a low-key and cautious talent is the way to survive.

If you can't keep a low profile, you can only be cautious.

In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Should you thank Tang for stabbing him?

Meng Yaya, really stupid!

In King Yan's tent, Zhu Di was very happy to learn the news of Meng waking up from Shen Xuan's mouth.

"Meng Tongzhi has made great contributions, and he will be rewarded."

Shen Xuan thanked King Yan on behalf of Meng, saying that guarding the camp was the duty of a soldier, and he was worthy of being rewarded by the prince.

"Xuan'er is too careful." King Yan said with a smile, "If you have merit, you will be punished, and if you say that you are rewarded, how can you break your word?" ”

"In this way, I will thank the prince on behalf of the lowly officer."

"That's right!"

After Shen Xuan left, Zheng He, who had been ordered to visit Meng, returned to the king's tent.

"Lord Wang, Meng Tongzhi asked his soldiers to bring a message to the fireheads, saying that what he did was his duty, and he was rewarded, and he should die for the prince."

"In person?"

"Back to the prince, it was the slave and maid who listened a few ears outside the tent."

King Yan nodded, "Gu already knew that he was loyal, otherwise Xuan'er would not have protected him openly and secretly." Doctor Zhao was instructed to cure the person as soon as possible. The apprentice of Zhilu Dao was seriously injured, and the monk of Daoyana was about to chant the Sutra against Gu again. ”

"The slave obeys."

King Yan stroked his short mustache and snorted, "Lone is so careful? Thinking that if you do something in secret, Lone will alienate and suspect Xuan'er? It's too underestimated to be lonely. Who is not selfish, not excessive, and lonely does not care. But some people ...... Lone doesn't have time to take care of them now, and when Lone frees up his hand, don't even think about running away, clean up together! ”

Zheng He bowed his head and tried to find gold on the ground, as if he hadn't heard anything.

After this time, the prince attaches more importance to Commander Shen and Meng Tongzhi, and it must be even more difficult for someone to find an opportunity to attack the two of them.

Thinking of this, Zheng He pouted, the trick that our family can see through, will the prince not understand? As long as the prince doesn't pay attention to it, no matter how much effort he has, it will be in vain.

Meng Tongzhi took the opportunity to win people's hearts, and Shen commanded high and arrogant, with bad intentions? It's up to them to figure it out!

Besides, the king of Gaoyang County and the third prince are both in the army, and Shen commands this righteous son to be arrogant, what will these two think?

Or is it that on the surface, he is directed at Shen, but in fact he is heading towards these two?

Zheng He's heart moved, and he pouted again, if this was the case, he was looking for death at all.

I think I'm smart, but I'm actually stupid.

In the fourth year of Emperor Jianwen, in April, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, joined forces with the governor of Ping'an, and fought with the Yan army in Meishan.

The Yan army won the first battle, but because of the rash advance of Fang Kuan, Qiu Fu and others, they fell into the trap of the southern army, and the rear army almost lost all of them.

The three generals of the rear army were killed by Xu Huizu and Ping'an one after another, and even the deputy general was not spared. Fang Kuan was seriously injured, and Qiu Fu was shot in the left arm by an arrow, but he finally broke out of the encirclement, leaving a life.

King Yan's face was ugly, and he secretly regretted that he had smoked something, and he actually released Qiu Fu with a hot head!

At ten o'clock in the evening, the two sides collected their troops, returned to their respective camps, and planned to fight again tomorrow.

Yan Wang knew that Xu Huizu was powerful, and he didn't play the trick of sneak attack anymore, but put on a formation, planning to fight gongs and drums against drums, and compete with strength.

For three consecutive days, the sound of killing at the foot of Meishan shook the sky, and the blood flowed like a river.

The Yan army was strong in combat, and Xu Huizu and Ping'an's army were not weak.

Such a war of attrition is the last thing Zhu Di wants to see.

At the end of the battle on the fourth day, the Yan army lost several generals, but if it weren't for the inhuman performance of Shen Xuan and Zhu Neng, the southern army was deterred and led the troops to the palace, the Yan army would not have been able to retreat back to the camp.

After returning to the camp, King Yan summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures. Some generals pointed out that the army was exhausted from the hard battles one after another. In the summer rain, Yan Jun was not adaptable, and many of them were already sick. And the battle is unfavorable, it is absolutely no good to stay here and continue to fight with Xu Huizu.

"To the east of the small river, there are many cattle and sheep in the plains, and the two wheat will be ripe, so why not cross the river for the time being, so that the soldiers can rest and recuperate, and then find an opportunity to move."

Fall back?

King Yan looked around at the generals and said in a deep voice: "There is no advance or retreat in the army!" When the soldiers left Beiping, Lone had already said that this was the most difficult battle! Withdraw troops at this time, and morale will fall! Why do you say this! ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, King Yan simply ordered, "Those who want to cross the river are left, and those who don't want are right!" ”

Open voting, who would dare not give him face?

The result was beyond Zhu Di's expectations, and as soon as the words fell, most of the generals stood on the left.

The generals looked at King Yan carefully, you always ordered in person, everyone voted democratically, and the results came out, you can't talk and don't count.

Zhu Di was petrified instantly.

One or two can still be handled, a large group, he can't kill them all to boost the army's heart, right?

Grinding his teeth hard, King Yan did not announce the voting results, and said angrily: "The public will do it himself!" ”

Lao Tzu doesn't give an order, see what you do! Dare to run on your own? God give you the guts!

The Lord will play tricks, and everyone will be dumbfounded.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, who were standing next to Zhu Di, squeezed each other's eyes, rolling around and playing tricks or something, compared to their father, they were obviously far behind.

Zhu Di didn't speak, and neither did the generals standing on the left. Shen Xuan, who was also silent, suddenly moved.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Walked to the right side, stopped, clasped his hands into fists, and said firmly: "Swear to follow the prince, never retreat lightly!" ”

Zhu Neng, who had never expressed his position, also stood beside Shen Xuan, "Everyone, be spared!" Nanjing is close at hand, how can you retreat! ”

The two fierce gods raised their eyebrows and brushed at the general on the left.

The evil qi condensed, and the momentum overwhelmed the group on the left.

What is a domineering side leak? That's it!

As soon as Zhu Neng and Shen Xuan expressed their attitude, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also ran over and said in unison: "My son is willing to follow his father and will go to Nanjing!" ”

Yan Wang Da Lu smiled, "Okay! ”

After laughing, his eyes turned to the general who was still standing on the left, what's the matter, he didn't give Lao Tzu face?

Everyone looked at each other, and all the slippery ones were changed to the right.

The first democratic vote in the tent of King Yan ended successfully.

Meng was unable to participate in this vote and deeply regrets it. Considering the current predicament of the army, his eyes rolled and he laughed.

On the same day, after Shen Xuan returned to the account, he left in a hurry in less than half an hour. Immediately afterwards, Zhu Neng, Xu Zhong and others were summoned into the king's tent, but He Shou, Qiu Fu and others did not receive a notice. Thinking of the previous vote, Qiu Fu and the others retracted their gaze, if they don't call, they won't call, and it's better to hide now.

At night, several fast horses galloped out of the Yanwang camp and braved the heavy rain to run straight in the direction of Nanjing.

The rain drowned out the sound of horses' hooves, and the Confederate soldiers did not notice the team at all.

After a few days of heavy rain, the Yan army fell again, and the southern army was gradually running out of grain and grass, and they were all bottomless in their hearts when they started fighting, so they simply hung up the war-free card at the same time.

The Yan army did not untie its armor, braving the rain to build a wooden bridge over the river, the southern army scouts reported to the main general, and the camp was overjoyed, could it be that the Yan army couldn't hold on, and planned to retreat?

Xu Huizu and Ping'an looked solemn, always feeling that things would not be so simple.

A few days later, an edict from Nanjing caused both of them to change color at the same time.

"Shangwen Yan returned to the north, and the Beijing division must not be unscrupulous, summon the Duke of Wei to return to defend the capital."

"Commandment."

Xu Huizu held the holy decree in both hands, but he was silent on the surface, but there was bitterness in his heart.

What is the idea of King Yan, he finally knows what he wants.

The emperor's order cannot be violated, even if he expected that the southern army would be defeated here, Xu Huizu did not dare to say anything, packed his bags, and only took his own soldiers on the road back to Beijing.

Looking back on the way, the camp was completely shrouded in rain.

Thinking of the peace standing in front of the camp, Xu Huizu smiled bitterly, Son of Heaven, confused!

"General?"

"Let's go."

This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again.

In April of the fourth year of Jianwen, Ding Chou, the Yan army broke the peace in Meishan.

Ji Mao, Ping An and He Fu joined forces and camped in Lingbi. Shen Xuan led the cavalry to cut off its grain routes, killed thousands of southern troops, and obtained more than 500,000 quintals of grain.

In May, the Yan army defeated the southern army in Lingbi again, the general soldier He Fu was wounded and ran away, the governor was safe, the generals were Ma Pu and Xu Zhen, and the commanders Sun Sheng, Wang Gui and other 37 generals were captured.

At this point, King Yan has cleared the biggest stumbling block on the way forward, and the final victory is within reach.
