After Chen Bing left, Li Mi sat alone in the big tent for a long time, holding the military report he had just received in his hand, reading and reading, getting up several times, but sitting down several times.

Eventually, she let out a long sigh, stood up, and slowly walked to the field hospital in the rear camp.

The field hospital was now very idle, and almost every camp for the wounded was empty, except for a few soldiers who had been wounded by stray arrows due to bad luck.

There was only one, and there were two female guards standing at the door.

Seeing Li Mi coming in, the two guards bowed in unison.

"How's Ge Cai?" Li Mi asked softly.

"It's fine!" A guard said: "The doctor just came to see him, and said that it is fortunate that General Ge himself has a good foundation and is strong, and although he has experienced heavy bleeding, his life is fine, and he only needs to recuperate for a while." ”

"Where's the kid?"

"After all, it is a premature baby, and the body is very weak, but as long as it is carefully cared for, there will be no major accidents, and the amount will be fine." Another guard said.

"You go and tell Dr. Kim to keep this child at all costs. If you need any medicinal herbs, if you don't have them in the camp, go straight to me. Even if it's the end of the earth, I'll get it for him. If the child has three longs and two shorts, I can't spare him. Li Mi said.

"Yes!" The female escort flew away.

Standing at the door of the big tent, Li Mi hesitated again for a while, and finally opened the curtain and entered.

Ge Cai was half-lying on the bed, with his back to the tent door, humming a nursery rhyme softly in his mouth, and the hand holding the knife was gently patting a swaddling baby on his side at the moment.

It was her and Liu Yuan's child.

When Ren Xiaonian's department was under siege, Li Mi immediately led his troops from Ezhou to help, and before leaving, Ge Caiheng lay in front of Li Mi's horse, hugged the horse's hooves, and forced Li Mi to bring her over.

When I arrived in Jiujiang, bad news kept coming, and finally, at one point, even the news was completely interrupted. Ge Cai himself is a general who leads the troops, so he can naturally understand what is happening in such a situation.

It is in this situation that the child is born.

Conceived in October, this child was born three months early.

What makes Li Mi even more scared is that Ge Cai is too fat, and when the child was born, he was bleeding profusely, and his life was almost lost. Several doctors worked tirelessly for a day and a night to bring her back from the brink of death.

Li Mi walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the little child who looked like Liu Yuan in front of his eyebrows, and said softly: "I heard that premature children will be very smart in the future. ”

Ge Cai turned around, sat up straight, leaned a cushion on his waist, and looked at Li Yu, but a smile appeared on his face: "Liu Yuan and I are both martial artists, and we can't achieve anything except our strength." How smart can this kid be? Let him be strong in the future. ”

"Isn't it best to be strong!" Li Mi stared at Ge Cai's face, which was almost half smaller, and felt a little distressed.

In the secret camp, Li Mi has always been the eldest sister, don't look at Ge Cai's fat body, she looks old, she looks a lot older than Li Mi, in fact, she is several years younger than Li Mi. The body, which was originally nearly two hundred pounds, has now shrunk significantly, and at most half is left. The clothes that used to fit were now worn on her body, empty.

"My child, born with fine clothes and fine food, was raised by his grandfather and grandmother like a baby pimple, and I tried to interfere but couldn't do it, and the more pampered he was, the more he fell ill in three days. I'm counting on him to be physically strong now. When your child is a few years older, send it to me, and I will raise it together. Can't let his grandfather and grandmother get used to it anymore. ”

Looking at Li Mi, who talked a lot today, Ge Cai's face became more and more ugly, and after a long time, she said softly: "I heard the sound of drums and trumpets of the assembled generals." ”

"Hmm!" Li Yu nodded. "Qian Shouyi ran away, in the direction of Ji'an, and was supposed to come to a siege point to send reinforcements, but it was a smart man who ran away, so there was no need to stay in Hongzhou."

Ge Cai looked at Li Mi, who was talking about him left and right, but his eyes slowly turned red, and he stretched out his hand to Li Mi: "Give it to me!" ”

Li Mi sighed, reached into his arms, took out the military report, and gently placed it in Ge Cai's hand.

"The detailed battle report has come out. Liu Yuan is gone, but because of his efforts, more than 2,000 people in Ren Xiaonian's department still persevered to the end. Li Mi said: "Liu Yuan's command in this battle is very wonderful, as a leading general, he has written a strong stroke for his combat career. Among the classic examples of our Tang army, there will inevitably be a place for him. ”

Ge Cai lowered his head and looked at the military newspaper word by word.

Liu Yuan was the supreme general who died in the Tang Dynasty this time.

Li Mi gently stroked Ge Cai's back and said, "If you want to cry, just cry out, don't hold back and suffocate your body." You're already weak, and you have to think about your children! ”

Ge Cai raised his head, but there was not a tear in his eyes: "Don't cry, there's nothing to cry about." Eldest sister, I want to go to Guzhai Town to have a look. ”

"You're not in good health, let's go later!"

"It's okay, I've always been strong."

"The child can't stand the wind!"

"He didn't go. Just stay here, and when it comes to taking care of the children, the two wet nurses you found are much more experienced than me. ”

Looking at Ge Cai, who was a little unusually calm, Li Mi felt distressed for a while.

"Since you want to go, then go, but Ge Cai, let me tell you, you have to think about the child first in everything now."

"I know." Ge Cai said.

Li Mi stood up, didn't speak again, and walked out slowly.

Not a few steps away from the tent, I heard Ge Cai shouting: "Come on, bring me food, I want to eat roast chicken, a whole one." ”

Li Mi's footsteps paused slightly, and in an instant, he quickened his pace and left.

In the city of Hongzhou, there was a panic.

Qian Shouyi would not come to the rescue, but led his troops straight to Ji'an, Hongzhou, and the news that he had become an outcast came, and the entire Hongzhou City panicked.

Everyone knows that as long as the Tang army launches a general attack, Hongzhou City will inevitably be unable to defend it.

Qian Wenxi, who stayed in Hongzhou City, gave the order even more simply and directly, and this evening, the four gates were opened together and the troops were divided to break through.

The essence of this order is actually to tell everyone that the time limit has come, and everyone should show their magic powers, use their own means, and run for their lives. If you can escape, it is luck, but if you can't escape, it is fate.

There was chaos outside, but in the Qian family temple, it was quiet.

Qian Wenxi was carefully refilling the lamp oil for the spirit tablet that occupied an entire wall in the family temple. Outside the family temple, a thousand heavily armed soldiers waited quietly for him to give the final order to break out.

These people are the last little direct elite of the Qian family left in Hongzhou, and the soldiers in them are either the children of the Qian family, or the children of the Qian family's in-law family.

They belong to the kind of people who will inevitably be liquidated as soon as the Qian family falls.

Filling the last lamp with oil, Qian Wenxi lay on the ground, knocked his head three times, and then walked out.

At this moment, the sound of shouting and killing was already sounding everywhere in Hongzhou City, there were fires everywhere, and the sound of explosions kept coming from all directions.

It is clear that the breakout operation has begun.

Qian Wenxi did not gather all the forces in the city to complete the breakthrough action, because he knew very well that even if he did, it would still be vulnerable to the Tang army, but it would give the Tang army a chance to succeed in one blow. In this case, we might as well make the whole breakout battle more chaotic and undisciplined.

If you fight a battle that you don't even know what to do, maybe more people will be able to escape.

In the face of such an unorganized and undisciplined breakthrough, I am afraid that it will be more difficult for the Tang Army to deal with it.

Standing on the top of the steps, Qian Wenxi arched his hand and said, "Everyone, I don't want to say anything else. Now those people have begun to rush to escape, and the outside has become a mess, I believe that at this moment, the Tang Army has also lost effective control, so now is your best chance to break through. After escaping, don't look back, don't stay, keep running to Ji'an, where the major general is waiting for you. ”

"Second master, aren't you going with us?" A general bowed.

Qian Wenxi smiled miserably: "I won't leave, behind me is our Qian family's family temple, I can only live and die with them." Let's go, let's go, if you don't go, it's too late! ”

The general wanted to speak and stopped, and after a while, he finally gritted his teeth, turned over the war horse, and yelled: "Let's go!" ”

A thousand elite soldiers turned over their horses one after another, swept in front of Qian Wenxi, and galloped towards the outside of the city.

The south gate of Hongzhou City was wide open, and the only well-equipped and disciplined army was like an awl, piercing the Tang army that was blocking in front.

The dense sound of horses' hooves in his ears gradually disappeared, and the smile on Qian Wenxi's face also disappeared.

Out of nowhere, several people in black came out of nowhere and gathered in front of Qian Wenxi: "Second master, we have to hurry up, don't waste the opportunity they created for us." ”

Qian Wenxi nodded, reached out and pulled out a torch beside him, and threw it into the family temple vigorously, and several black-clothed people also threw the torches in their hands into the family temple.

A moment later, the family temple was ablaze.

In this scorching flame, Qian Wenxi changed the clothes on his body, put on the same clothes as the black-clothed man beside him, and quietly walked in the direction of Dongcheng.

The elite soldiers of the Qian clan who broke through quickly attracted the attention of the Tang army. In the midst of a chaotic breakout, such an army is too conspicuous.

One after another, the Tang army surrounded from all sides, and soon, this Qian army fell into a heavy encirclement.
