The wilderness of the winter night was as silent as death, and Liu naturally rode a horse but lost Liu Ye's movements.

Originally, Liu Nature chased Liu Ye out of the barracks, but Liu Ye's personal soldiers continued to take suicidal delays in order to cover Liu Ye's escape, making it difficult for Liu Nature to speed up. Gradually, Liu was naturally distanced by Liu Ye.

And the experienced Liu Ye, in order to avoid being discovered, even extinguished the torch and hurried in the dark. Liu naturally chased dozens of miles with the faint moonlight, but unfortunately, a dark cloud floated in the sky, and even the last moonlight was obscured.

Liu was naturally a little annoyed after losing the target, he understood what it meant to Zhang Shumo to catch Liu Ye, but now he had obviously missed this opportunity, this may be the will of God.

When he thought of Providence, Liu naturally thought of his master again. Since he was a child, he has traveled to various countries with his master, but after seeing the eighty-mile Huaichuan River south of Taihang Mountain, Master expected that there would be a Chosen Son here, so he was determined to help the Chosen Son complete the unification and end the war between countries, so he and Master lived in Golden Umbrella Mountain, a branch of Taihang Mountain.

Later, the master spent his whole life burning a yin-yang cup, but he died because of the snooping of the heavenly machine. Before dying, the master only explained that the person who stepped on the Yin and Yang Bowl was the chosen son, and as a result, he went down the mountain and put the Bowl on the street, and was trampled by Zhang Shumo in less than half a day. But there is nothing surprising about this yin and yang bowl, is this the will of heaven?

Just thinking about it, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind him, and Liu naturally turned around and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

"Jiudu Zhai Zhang Xiaowen!"

Liu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Yan is me, Liu Tiantian!" ”

While speaking, Zhang Yan led a group of people to Liu Tiantian's side, and Liu Tianran sighed: "I lost it, and I don't know where Liu Ye's old thief went." ”

Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes: "In this case, let's just chase it outside Xu Liang City, if we can't find Liu Ye, we will do our best." ”

Liu naturally didn't expect Zhang Yan to be so persistent, but he still agreed, and the group ran wild on the wilderness of the winter night again.

On the side of Qinghua City, Shang Lei had already escorted the captured Northern Route Army back to the city, and the people in the city were overjoyed. Lou Zaiying asked for the first time: "Brother Shang, have you caught Liu Ye?" ”

Zhang Shumo was also concerned about this issue, so he looked at Shang Lei expectantly.

Shang Lei shook his head: "I don't know yet, Liu Ye took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the two generals, Zhang Yan and Zhang Lin, have already led people to chase after them, so we can only wait for them to come back and see." ”

Zhang Shumo's heart was half cold when he heard this, he failed to catch Liu Ye this time, and I am afraid that he will not have such a good opportunity in the future!

Sleepless all night, until noon the next day, Zhang Yan and his party were returning to Qinghua, everyone not only did not catch Liu Ye, but also brought back a big bad news, when the Western Route Army attacked Xu Liangcheng, Liu Ye's subordinate Pang Yuan with 7,000 cavalry from the flank, the West Route Army 15,000 men and horses were annihilated, and Su Chang was captured by Pang Yuan!

Hearing the news, Liang Jia spurted out a mouthful of blood, sat on the chair and beat his chest!

"It's over, it's all over! The foundation of the Su family in the northwest for decades was all destroyed! Chapter Shumo! It's all caused by your bullshit idea, if General Su sticks to the camp, he can still hold on to Liu Ye, but you have to let General Su attack Xu Liang! I'm really old and confused, how can I believe you a kid who is not as old as a weak crown! ”

Zhang Shumo was also very annoyed on the side, he slapped the table fiercely, his eyes were full of unwillingness: "Why didn't General Su Chang act according to my orders, I obviously told him that he couldn't take Xu Liang in one fell swoop, so he had to retreat to prevent a sneak attack by cavalry, why did he ......?"

Looking at the performance of the two, Zhang Yan hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't be too sad for the two adults, Liu Ye suffered a big loss in Qinghua this time, and he will definitely bring a large army to attack again in the future, we must think of the next countermeasures now." ”

After Zhang Yan's reminder, everyone calmed down. Liang Jia thought for a while, and suddenly stood up: "Let's still think about a fart!" How can we beat Liu Ye with this little bit of people, give up Qinghua, and go to the last city! ”

Hearing Liang Jia's words, everyone fell silent. Zhang Shumo shook his head, keeping himself calm, thinking about the current situation in his mind.

After this fiasco, the Western Route Army had no living force to compete with Liu Ye, and at most retreated to the previous city. As long as Liu Ye blocked the supply lines of the Western Route Army, within a year, the Western Route Army would be self-defeating. Now that Su Chang has been arrested, it is very likely that the Western Route Army will be commanded by Su Yi, and I don't know if he can withstand such a big pressure.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Liu naturally suddenly said, "I'm afraid it's going to snow this day, right?" General Zhang, do you have to rush back to Jiudu Village before the snow closes the mountain? ”

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and went to the door to look at the sky. The sky was overcast at noon, and it was clear that it was going to snow.

When Zhang Shumo heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "It seems that there is a turning point in this matter!" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Zhang Shumo, and Zhang Yan asked puzzledly, "How do you say this?" ”

"Naturally, Liu has already seen it! The heavy snow season is coming, this day is getting colder and colder, ordinary tents can't keep out the cold, as long as it snows now, the Northern Route Army must stop attacking the city, so that we still have a winter of room for turnover! ”

Liang Jia snorted coldly: "This is also called a turnaround?" It's just a little more to catch your breath. Wait until the spring of next year, Liu Ye will still come to fight you, can you conjure up tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to compete with Liu Ye in a winter? ”

Zhang Shumo asked Liang Jia rhetorically: "Isn't it just that joining the Western Route Army is also a long time to survive?" ”

"You!" Liang Jia was choked and had nothing to say, and flicked his sleeves angrily and said, "Zhang Shumo, if it weren't for you, why would we be in such a situation!" Don't you have the ability? Now that Thanh Hoa City is handed over to you, I will pack up my things and go to the last city. I'm here to see what you can do in just one winter! After speaking, Liang Jia walked straight out.

Seeing Liang Jia leaving, Zhang Yan arched his hand towards Zhang Shumo: "Mr. Zhang, the road is slippery in snow, we have to rush back to Jiudu Village before it snows, so don't say goodbye!" ”

"General Zhang, slow down!"

Zhang Shumo stopped Zhang Yan, and then arched his hand to him: "General Zhang, Jiuduzhai has offended Liu Ye this time, and the future will definitely not be easy, and when Liu Ye cuts off the supply of Jiuduzhai in the spring of next year, Jiuduzhai will become a lonely city, does General Zhang have a way to deal with it?" ”

Zhang Yan was stunned: "This, I haven't thought about it yet, let's discuss it with my father when I return to the village!" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled at him: "I have an idea, the general will wait for a while, I will repair a book, and the general will bring it to General Zhang Jun!" After speaking, Zhang Shumo ordered someone to bring a pen and paper and write quickly.

Sending off the Zhang Yan brothers, Zhang Shumo came to the city wall. Looking at the empty city, Zhang Shumo couldn't help but sigh.

Liu on the side naturally asked, "Why are you still sighing since you have a way?" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled bitterly: "I can't do this way, as for whether it works or not, I have to say another way!" If Zhang Jun agrees to my plan, then we will make a desperate bet and fight with Liu Ye! ”

As the two were talking, snowflakes drifted in the sky, and this life-saving snow finally came!
