Seeing Ma Yuan standing there with a panicked expression, Zhao Zhihai couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

But he thought about it again, this Ma Yuan may have never seen an official as big as himself, and it is normal for him to lose his temper for a while.

But the people he watched during the day, although he was also very nervous, he was quite calm in his words and deeds, and in terms of temperament alone, it was not comparable to Ma Yuan.

Zhao Zhihai can achieve such a high official position, which is also squeezed out of the crowd, and when the performance of Ma Yuanzhu and Lihua is compared with the performance of the two when they first met, he also had doubts about the battle report.

I'm afraid that the retreat of Yuxiao Pass was mostly due to the credit of Lihua.

Zhao Zhihai was expressionless, and just whispered to Ma Yuan in the standing room: "Ma Yuan, you tell me how Wu Meng came to your Yuxiao Pass, and how you will lead the troops to help." ”

"Ahh When Ma Yuan heard that Zhao Zhihai was going to ask him about this, his heart couldn't help but relax, and he hurriedly said yes and said:

"General Wu got lost in the mountains and fields under my Yuxiao Pass the night before yesterday, and accidentally met the outpost set up by our army under the Muqi Pass, and the soldiers in the outpost led them to Yuxiao Pass.

Originally, General Wu wanted to lead his troops back to rescue the army yesterday, but he was stopped by Dr. Li, saying that the Rong people were ready to fight, and the chances of winning with them were not great, and not only could not rescue the general and the army, but I was afraid that even the rescue soldiers would be in prison.

Therefore, after discussing with General Wu, Dr. Zhuli decided to wait for the Rong people to attack the camp early this morning, and then we will attack the Rong people's Chinese army from behind. ”

Zhao Zhihai nodded, but he was extremely shocked in his heart, this plan seemed simple, but it was calculated that the Rong people would definitely come out of the camp this morning, and it was also calculated that the soldiers of the Qin army would die and die.

This was able to directly smash Huanglong and threaten the life of General Rong, so that he had to withdraw his troops. However, the Qin army, which was born and died, was able to fight to the death in one go, not only repelling the Rong soldiers, but also achieving a rare result of defeating the strong with the weak and winning more with less.

Whether it was the time of the attack, or the mentality of the generals and soldiers on both sides of Rong and Qin, he calculated extremely accurately.

Zhao Zhihai also knew that as long as there was a little uncertainty on the way, then this morning's battle would still end in the annihilation of his own army.

After sighing that the back waves of the great river pushed the front waves, Zhao Zhihai asked Ma Yuan again: "Why do you have so many soldiers in Yuxiao Pass, as far as I know, after the last war, your troops only have less than a thousand troops. ”

Ma Yuan hurriedly smiled and said: "The general doesn't know, half a month ago, the General System Government came to report that Longde and other counties quickly recruited soldiers to change their troops, and sent reinforcements to the passes that had not yet been lost, so Longde County recruited 5,000 soldiers, and sent 3,000 soldiers to support my Yuxiao Pass, and now I have a total of 4,000 soldiers.

This morning, Dr. Zhuli led 3,000 troops, and a total of 6,000 troops went to the rescue with General Wu's 3,000 soldiers. ”

"Lihua is still a five-hundred-hundred-hundred-

Ma Yuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhao Zhihai suddenly say something that had nothing to do with what he said, and hurriedly said: "The general is right, the last time the General Government commended me, I and Doctor Lili were each promoted to one level, and now I am a thousand, and Dr. Lili is five hundred. ”

Zhao Zhihai nodded after hearing this, and muttered in his mouth: "It seems that he has been wronged." ”

Ma Yuan didn't hear what Zhao Zhihai said clearly, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to stretch his neck and look at Zhao Zhihai.

Zhao Zhihai didn't ask Ma Yuan anymore, but said softly: "Speaking of which, you can be regarded as your own person, come, help me get up and go out for a walk." ”

As soon as Ma Yuan heard this, his excitement was like a spring breeze to his bones, and his whole body instantly opened his hairs, and he was already numb.

The middle-aged man in front of him is the first person in his surname in today's Great Qin, except for the monarch and relatives. He even said that Ma Yuan was his own person.

In the end, Ma Yuan was only a young man in his early twenties, and even though he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, his face still showed a trace of pride.

Zhao Zhihai looked at this young man who was hurriedly supporting him and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, your uncle and I are also good friends, you are still young and it is commendable to be able to do this in Yuxiao Pass, and your future is limitless."

However, you should also remember to think about your mind and not to do everything too freely. ”

Ma Yuan heard Zhao Zhihai call himself "Yuan'er", and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, he quickly nodded on the side, saying "yes" in his mouth.

If the family members can hear what the general said to him, they will definitely burn incense at the ancestral hall to pay tribute and thank the ancestors for their kindness.

Ma Yuan lowered his head and carefully helped Zhao Zhihai out of the customs building.

At this time, although the sun has just set and the moon rises tomorrow, the mountains outside Yuxiao Pass are still faintly visible, and it is very beautiful.

Zhao Zhihai stopped, vaguely saw the sea of clouds in the western mountains, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, feeling as if he was suddenly separated from the world.

The sergeants inside and outside the gate saw the general come out of the gate in the moonlight and the sudden fire at the head of the city, and they all stood up from the ground. Zhao Zhihai saw this. patted Ma Yuan's hand.

Ma Yun instantly understood what Zhao Zhihai meant, and hurriedly waved his hand to the soldiers, signaling that they didn't have to salute.

Zhao Zhihai saw that Ma Yuan was also smart, so he patted the hand holding his arm lightly.

In Zhao Zhihai's heart, whether Ma Yuan is Zhang Ziyu or Gu Daoyuan's nephew, he is always his junior. Since he is a junior, he has given this middle-aged and larger life in the trough and loss a much-needed sense of intimacy that he does not want to give up.

Seeing Wu Meng and Yin Fang walking towards him in the distance, Zhao Zhihai motioned to Ma Yuan to go to the head of Guancheng, where he could observe the whole picture inside and outside the Guancheng.

Ma Yuan didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly and carefully helped Zhao Zhihai to walk slowly towards the city.

At this time, Ma Yuan suddenly had another layer of thought, he thought about it again and again, and then gritted his teeth and said to Zhao Zhihai:

"General, don't blame Yuan'er for saying more, in fact, when Yuxiao Pass encountered a crisis, everything depended on Brother Li's strategy to turn the tide, and to save the army today, it was also a strategic plan set by Brother Li. I..."

Zhao Zhihai turned his head to look at Ma Yuan, who was already blushing and red, and wanted to stop talking, and said slowly: "Lihua is very good, and you are also very good." I know everything. He didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Yin Fang and Wu Meng, who had already walked quickly to the front.

Seeing that the two of them quickly walked to Zhao Zhihai, Wu Meng hurriedly said: "General, the wind in Guancheng is strong, and your body has not healed yet, please take care of your body and go back to the building quickly." ”

Zhao Zhihai smiled slightly: "Don't get in the way, the military report can be issued?" ”

Yin Fang said: "Back to the general, I have sent someone to send military reports to General Zhao Zhiliang, the General Command, and General Wang Min.

If you want to come to General Zhao, you will receive a military report tomorrow night at the latest. ”

Zhao Zhihai nodded and said: "I heard from Lihua during the day that Zhao Zhiliang still hasn't conquered the trapped pass in the past half a month, and the General Administration has not sent a military report from Xiao Guan, so I think the war has stabilized."

The army has been running for days, and tomorrow the whole army will go to Longde for repair. ”

Wu Meng and Yin Fang responded in unison when they heard the words.

The four of them saw that most of the sergeants inside and outside the gate had already slept on the ground, and the bonfires for making fires and cooking were also burning sporadically.

Half a month ago, Long De sent another 3,000 soldiers to Yuxiao Pass, and after discussing with Ma Yuan, he re-sent troops to garrison the first four passes. The outpost under the Wooden Hedgehog Pass was also reactivated.

The Seven Passes of Sumeru are now under the Yuxiao Pass and the Mishen Pass alone, and they are still in the hands of the Qin State, so the Yuxiao Pass is bound to establish a defense again with all the personnel to deal with any danger that may occur.

But what Ling Lihua and Ma Yuan didn't expect was that the two of them did not intentionally save nearly 10,000 Qin troops and Zhao Zhihai, the general of the Central Guard.

Just when Zhao Zhihai and others were at the head of Guancheng, Zhu Lihua and Gao Yunce returned from inspecting the southernmost Shuiqi Pass.

Dressed in black and not wearing armor, he rode slowly on a black war horse, followed by two white-haired young wolves that were more than a foot long.

The two little wolves were white and fat, and because they kept running, they opened their mouths and stuck out their tongues at the moment, and they trotted all the way to follow Lihua.

When Lihua and the others arrived at Yuxiao Pass, they all dismounted and handed the horse rope to the accompanying soldiers.

Zhu Lihua and Gao Yunce took two little wolves and walked towards the Yuxiao Gate under the curious gaze of the Qin soldiers who were sleeping on the ground.

Zhao Zhihai and the four of them naturally also saw Lu Lihua and his party, and Yin Fang whispered to Wu Meng: "This Lu Lihua is young, but he has an extraordinary bearing, no wonder he can guard the pass with thousands of people and force nearly 10,000 people to retreat." It's just that young people are still a little impetuous, and they don't know how to play. ”

Although Wu Meng had a deep contact with Zhu Lihua and admired this young noble child, he also frowned when he saw the two dogs behind him.

He was a little worried that the general would be dissatisfied with Zhu Lihua, so he secretly glanced at Zhao Zhihai again and said:

"Brother Yin's words are wrong, even if he is a good dog, but he is also flawed. If it weren't for this person, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen the afterglow after this sunset. ”

Yin Fang was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Wu Meng, who was frowning and making eyes, and understood his intentions, so he smiled and said yes, and said: "Flaws are not hidden." ”

But Zhao Zhihai didn't seem to hear the words of the two, and said to Ma Yuan, who was supporting him: "Yuan'er, that's not a dog." ”

Ma Yuan lowered his head, held back the sudden pride that suddenly welled up, and said to Zhao Zhihai: "What the general said was not a dog, but a wolf. ”

Yin Fang and Wu Meng were shocked when they first heard that Zhao Zhihai called Ma Yuan "Yuan'er", glanced at each other, and felt that Ma Yuan's life experience must not be simple. Later, I was even more surprised when I heard Ma Yuan say that there was a wolf behind him.

After hearing Ma Yuanxiang explain to everyone that Li Hua met the Sumeru Wolf and later met the Rong people, escaped from the Wolf Valley, and was entrusted by the White Wolf King, not only Yin Fang and Wu Meng were dumbfounded, but even Zhao Zhihai was surprised again and again, and he attached more importance to Jie Yuan, the apprentice who explained that he must be promoted.

This son is extraordinary.

This is Zhao Zhihai's initial image of Lihua.

As the sky became darker and darker, and the mountain wind became stronger and stronger, Zhao Zhihai entered the Guanlou with Yin Fang and Wu Meng with the support of Ma Yuan.

As soon as he entered the building, he saw Zhu Lihua standing respectfully outside Zhao Zhihai's house, and when he saw Zhao Zhihai and others coming in, he lowered his head and said: "The last general, Zhu Lihua, has seen the general." ”

Zhao Zhihai said "um", and walked straight in.

Zhu Lihua looked up at Yin and Wu who were smiling at him, and then looked at Ma Yuan, who was smiling at him, and knew that Zhao Zhihai must have appreciated himself more, so that a few people had such an attitude towards him, so he relaxed and was no longer nervous.

Lihua was summoned by Zhao Zhihai and stood in the outermost part of the house.

At this time, only his martial arts rank was the smallest, so he could only stand here, but Zhu Lihua was also a sensible person, and he stopped speaking after entering the house.

Zhao Zhihai looked at Zhu Lihua and said with a smile: "Can the two Sumeru wolves of Doctor Zhu Li give one to the old man?" ”

Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard this.

Then, Yin and Wu had a sudden expression, this Sumeru wolf is only born in the Sumeru Mountains, it is an extraterritorial alien species, and the wolf with white fur is the choice of the Sumeru wolf king, and it is normal for the general to want to ask for a horse.
