Water, water, where is the water?

Wu Chang Xue Taisui was carrying two cowhide water bags on his back, and the raw edges around the bottom corner were already mottled, obviously he had traveled hundreds of miles in a radius.

His eyes suddenly lit up, an oasis, clear water, fat cattle and sheep, and a light rain in the sky.

Xue Taisui strode forward, and a fierce man plunged into the river, trying to have a good time.

However, there is only the hustle and bustle of loess in front of you, and there is a word of pain, which is far from being happy.

Mirage, he remembered Lao Qiu in the official stable, yes, Lao Qiu is very easy-going, and it is said that he has lived for more than a hundred years. He said that when man's willpower is weak enough, he sees an illusion in the desert, called a mirage.

Although it is not a desert, it is not much different from the desert, the loess slope, lack of food and water, only the boundless loess drills into people's nostrils, making you mistakenly think that this is a dry cemetery for human beings.

With a "poof", the tall figure fell into the loess, dusty. Xue Taisui really didn't want to get up, he didn't get water and rice for seven days, this is the limit of a person, even if a martial arts master still needs to eat and drink before he reaches the Great Perfection of Heaven and Earth, not to mention that he is just an introductory martial arts style with three stages of opening the pulse.

There was only one veteran Qiu Ba behind him, who was the last of Xue Taisui's five personal soldiers.

"Xue Tou, I'm afraid we won't be able to get through." Qiu is over forty years old, and it stands to reason that he should have retired from the army and gone home to pick up his children, but his thirty years of combat experience has allowed him to stay until now.

Xue Taisui pursed his chapped lips: "Lao Qiu, you are a veteran who retired from the pioneer battalion, and when you arrive at this step of the field, you can still hold on, you are really a man." ”

Qiu Ba grinned: "Don't say it, Xue Tou, leave a mouthful of foam to moisten your throat." You are notoriously bold and careful in our military camp, and you have a life, and you will pay homage to the marquis in the future. After speaking, the thin Qiu Ba put his left hand on Xue Taisui's shoulder, and a warm current of internal force slowly flowed in, Xue Taisui gritted his teeth and stood up again, and the two limped, aimlessly embarking on the road to find a water source again. It is a shadowless thing to worship the marquis, and surviving is the goal of the two now.

One hundred and thirteen years of the Yu Dynasty, the Yu King Sun Yu Emperor ascended the throne, only sixteen years old, two auxiliary ministers, Prime Minister Zhao Wujiao, and the general Tu Bin.

Emperor Yu shook the rattle, the sound of "dong dong dong" echoed in the court, and the wrinkled dragon robe was dripping with grape juice.

On the left hand side of the main hall of the court, a white-clothed prime minister with a crown and a broad belt, his eyes slightly closed, were listening to the general's statement. Tu Bin knelt at the foot of the steps, a black armor glowing with a deep cold light, the legend is that it is made of the scale armor of the Beihai dragon, after a hundred years of forging by the great sage of the military family He Lianpo, it is said that it is a knife and a gun, even a sword and a sword can not hurt a bit.

"Prime Minister, Li Chongxin has been stationed in Loess Slope for seven months, and he can't defend Guancheng alone like this, and the Beiban will increase his troops at any time. When the time comes, there will be no food station in the inside, and there will be no rescuers outside, and a generation of myths will fall, Prime Minister. The general's black dragon armor shook the mountain, as if it could not impress the prime minister to sit firmly on Mount Tai. Seeing that there was no hope, the general knocked his head three times in a row with "bang, bang, bang", red blood stains were printed on his head, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." ”

The sound of the rattle stopped suddenly, and Emperor Yu looked at Zhao Wuyi, and then looked at the general: "Ahem, father, what about the general's question, you squeak, otherwise will the widow play this rattle or not?" ”

Zhao Wuyi's face was expressionless, he opened his eyes slightly, turned his head to Tu Bin and said slowly: "General, don't be impatient, didn't you set this plan that day, why are you so impatient today?" ”

Tu Bin still couldn't bow down: "Prime Minister, the plan that day was to eliminate the Northern Barbarian army, and now that the bait has been thrown, why is the Prime Minister unwilling to follow the plan?" ”

Zhao Wuyi snorted slightly: "The general is blaming the old man?" ”

Tu Bin hurriedly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The last general will not dare." ”

Zhao Wuji said coldly: "There are many deceitful people in the north, and the first few attacks are feints, otherwise there are only 30,000 defenders on the Loess Slope, how can they hold out for seven months without breaking the city?" If I rush to send troops, my plan will be leaked, how can a person who does great things be so hasty? The general is also a person who has been in battle for a long time, how can he not know that the soldiers are not tired of deceit? ”

Tu Bin kowtowed again and again: "Prime Minister, now the lord of the Northern Barbarian State has sent the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry to besiege the Loess Slope, this must not be fake, the scouts have been at the border for three days in a row, and I hope that the Prime Minister will send troops quickly." ”

"Oh? How did I not know about this? ”

Tu Bin let out a "ho" and stood up: "Prime Minister, military affairs, how dare the last general make a false report, I hope the Prime Minister will check the transcript of Shangshutai." ”

Zhao Wuyi straightened his clothes: "Zhao Chengqian, the secretary of the Chuanshang Desk, take the report for the past month." ”

After a while, Zhao Chengqian, who was in a green coat and a small hat, hurriedly ran up to the main hall with a large bundle of paperwork in his arms.

Zhao Wuji asked with a cold face: "Is there a military document on the Loess Slope?" ”

Zhao Chengqian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, three reports a day." ”

"Has the Northern Barbarians ever increased their troops on the Loess Slope?"

Zhao Chengqian swallowed and spitted: "Yes, a month ago, Hou Wanjing, the commander of the Northern Barbarian cavalry, personally led 10,000 Northern Yan iron cavalry to the loess slope, and the water around the city was already impassable. ”

"Bastard, why didn't you report it earlier?" Zhao Wuji waved his sleeves and looked at Zhao Chengqian viciously.

Zhao Chengqian blinked: "Didn't the prime minister have ordered him not to read anything except the military report at Baixi Pass?" said that he was afraid of disturbing His Majesty's double cultivation. ”

"Bold, this prime minister asked you, you dare to say nothing, come on, the golden gourd warrior dragged down, and the golden gourd hit the top."

"Yes!" Armored warriors on both sides had already stepped forward to rip off Zhao Chengqian's official uniform and dragged him out.

"Prime Minister, I am following your instructions, Prime Minister, spare your life, Prime Minister..."

Zhao Wuyi turned around, his face was slightly kind: "General, a layman, no wonder people say that the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, and he almost missed a major military event." ”

Tu Bin said loudly: "Prime Minister, you can send troops to save Loess Slope, right?" ”

Zhao Wuji paused slightly: "Since the Northern Barbarians sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Loess Slope, the White Rhino Pass must be empty, and the soldiers are to be sent, but go straight to the White Rhino Pass, encircle Wei and save Zhao, so that I have one more town in the border pass, which will definitely deter the Northern Barbarians, and there will be no soldiers in the next ten years." ”

Tu Bin choked up, and clenched his fists with both hands: "Prime Minister, having said that, but the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry is the one in a hundred miles, and the weakest soldiers are also warriors who open the pulse and cultivate, Marshal Hou Wanjing is known as the king of spears in the north, and he is invincible all over the Northern Barbarians." If this continues, Li Chongxin will definitely be wiped out, even if the prime minister does not pity the soldiers, does he not care about the friendship of Li Du and the palace? ”

Zhao Wuyi snorted coldly: "Li Chongxin's subordinates are all prisoners of our court, people who have made meritorious contributions to crimes, and they can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, it is already Your Majesty's imperial grace, even if the whole army is wiped out, it will buy time for the king's army in Baixi Pass, why not?" Besides, the art of war was born after death, how do you know that Li Chongxin can't turn defeat into victory? Does the general not believe in Li Du's sword cultivation skills, or can't he trust the old man's judgment? ”

Tu Bin's eyes widened, and his eyes were split: "Dare to ask the prime minister, who is the commander of the surprise attack on Baixi Pass?" ”

Zhao Wuyi straightened his clothes and knelt down under the golden steps: "Your Majesty, the minister will promote my son Zhao Jinying as the head of the march of the North Hebei Road, leading the Zhao family army of 30,000, Jingxi Rui camp of 10,000, and the Yanling army of 20,000 surprise attack on Baixi Pass, Your Majesty is worry-free." ”

Emperor Yu happily played the rattle: "Okay, okay, my hero of the Yu Dynasty personally led the army to conquer, and I am my brother-in-law, as the saying goes, what is inseparable, oh, no, it is the internal move that does not avoid relatives, and will definitely return victorious, I am worry-free, I am worry-free, everything is according to my father's orders, hahaha, I can rest with Chen Meiren again, hehe." ”

Tu Bin still kowtowed hard at this time: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Li Dudu is the pillar of the country, and there is no room for mistakes, Your Majesty ordered to send troops, and the ministers mentioned a brigade of partial divisions, only to save Li Dudu, otherwise how will the general explain to the three armies?" Your Majesty is gracious.....". The sound of kowtowing is endless.

The white-clothed prime minister snorted coldly: "General Tu, you are threatening the Lord with the orders of the three armies." ”

The man who was like an iron tower was weak at this time, and he knelt on the court with a "bang", bowed to the north, and cried: "Brother Chongxin, brother foolish did his best." ”
