"When the snow fell, you and I melted into the heavens and the earth, silent."

- "The Book of the White Horse"

The sky is bright, Xiping City is still in the dreamland, outside the city, an army is mighty all the way to the north.

Vice General Wang stood at the head of the city, watching them, the sky was hazy, he vaguely saw a big flag fluttering at the front of the team, he squinted his eyes, looked carefully, gradually, his pupils dilated, a little shocked, he saw a white flag flying in the wind.

The heart surged, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Long.

"The last general understands, young master!"

Vice Admiral Wang muttered in a low voice.

……

The army drifted away and slowly disappeared from sight.

……

Chang Dan led the army out of the wasteland under Xiping City and headed north, but wouldn't he encounter the main force of the Menghu people? In fact, he just wanted to see if he could meet it, because the faint uneasiness in his heart made him really uneasy, and he wanted to confirm it.

When the army marched to the foot of a mountain, Chang Dan saw that the soldiers were very tired, so he ordered to rest in place. He also dismounted, leaned against a dead tree, took out his dry food, drank water and swallowed it.

The soldiers cast surprised glances.

At this time, an officer saw it and ran in a panic.

"Young master, young master, you eat this, you can't get used to that." As he spoke, the officer held a few sheets of pancakes made of fine noodles in both hands, white and yellow, and he was very appetizing at first glance.

Chang Dan was stunned for a moment, only to find that the soldiers were looking at him blankly one by one. He quickly swallowed the fried beans in his mouth, and looked at the officer in front of him, only to see his rough and red hands holding the pancakes wrapped in a clean handkerchief.

"Why can't you get used to eating, I can eat if the soldiers can eat it!" Chang Dan pretended to be angry, grabbed a large handful of fried beans and stuffed them into his mouth, and chewed them with a clatter.

The officer first looked frightened and then slowly returned to normal, he carefully wrapped the pancakes, stuffed them into his arms, and stood aside silently as if he had something on his mind, watching Chang Dan gobble up.

The soldiers looked at Chang Dan, bowed their heads for a while, and ate silently, quietly, no one spoke, only the sound of chewing beans, and everyone's eyes were clear.

"What's your name?" Chang Dan suddenly asked the officer beside him.

"Young Master Qi, the last general Wang Yuanyi." The officer said sonorously.

"Where did your bread come from?" Chang Dan asked.

"Young master, the cake was sent by the cheap one last night......" Wang Yuanyi was taken aback and hurriedly explained.

Chang Dan was stunned, so it was.

"Oh...... That's good, have children? Chang Dan put away Fang Cai's cold tone and asked with concern.

"Hmm...... Not yet, the last general will be married for only three days. Wang Yuanyi said with a sweet smirk on his face.

"It's good, it's good, it looks like you've got a good wife." Chang Dan couldn't help but sigh.

"Thank you young master for your compliment, and I only heard that the last general was about to go on an expedition, so I sent the cake overnight." Wang Yuanyi said with a smile.

Chang Dan couldn't help laughing, he really didn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings. But when he thought about it, he felt a sense of melancholy in his heart, he was only newly married for three days, and he was going to separate, this time, life and death were uncertain, alas...... At this moment, Chang Dan suddenly felt a little self-blame.

"When I come back this time, I will grant you a month off and go back to accompany your wife."

"Huh?? Are you sure??! Wang Yuanyi was stunned by this sudden good thing.

"Of course, there is no joke in the army." Chang Dan said solemnly.

"The last general will thank the young master, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not give up!" Wang Yuanyi knelt on the ground and clenched his fists, in a word, he made a loud noise.

"Alright, it's time for us to go." Chang Dan turned over and said.

Wang Yuanyi nodded and hurriedly organized the team to set off.

……

The town is shaking at night, when the army goes out on the march.

The gentleman is wearing an iron cloak, and he is slow to leave.

The concubine took the hairpin and replaced it with a white cooking cake.

Send it outside the gate, in the dead of night.

Gu Gu was speechless, but he had to know each other.

……

Chang Dan did not ride a horse, he, like the soldiers, walked side by side, with brisk steps.

Suddenly, a fast horse in front of him came head-on, and Wang Yuanyi quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Who's coming?" Wang Yuanyi shouted.

"Ten Captains of the Scout Team of the Ganzhou Iron Cavalry Battalion." The man quickly dismounted.

"Oh? How is General Lee? When Chang Dan heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Young Master Qi, General Li is now in Hutou Mountain." The Centurion replied.

"Where is Hutou Mountain?" Chang Dan asked.

"About a hundred miles ahead." The Captain replied with difficulty, blood oozing from his chapped lips.

"What about the enemy vanguard?"

"The enemy army is camping at the foot of Hutou Mountain, preparing to besiege our army, so General Li sent me to sneak out at night to report the news."

"Okay, I see, let's go rest." Chang Dan saw that the Tenth Master was exhausted, so he didn't ask any more.

He stood there and thought for a moment.

"Keep going." Chang Dan ordered.

When the soldiers heard that there was an enemy in front of them, they cheered up.

…………

Hutou Mountain.

Hutou Mountain, as the name suggests, is like a tiger's head, there are not many trees on the mountain, but it is very steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Pharmacist Li rode here with iron that day, discarded the war horse, and escaped into this Hutou Mountain, the chasing Zhebu saw this situation, helpless, and wanted to order to go into the mountain to pursue, but after thinking about it, he still chose to be conservative, and set up camp at the exit of the mountain, ready to besiege, after all, the Menghu warriors who got off the horse, and entered the mountain to be sent to death.

So, Jebu led a large army to block the mountain.

After Pharmacist Li learned about it, he was also helpless, if he continued like this, he would inevitably starve to death in this Hutou Mountain. So he immediately sent someone to take advantage of the night, sneak down the mountain, and go out to deliver the letter.

It was also a coincidence that Chang Dan had planned to find and receive them, and this happened to happen.

……

Mountains.

The soldiers were leaning in the valley.

Yao Shi Li stood at the top of the mountain, looking at the bottom of the mountain from a distance, the camp tents of the Menghu people were connected at the bottom of the mountain, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, whether the messenger had gone out or not, today, but the last day they could support, everything they could eat had been eaten, and tomorrow, if there were still no reinforcements, then they could only fight with the enemy, and the net would be broken.

"Haven't the men sent to find the way have returned?" Pharmacist Li suddenly turned his head to the officer and asked.

"It's back, it's still the same, this Hutou Mountain is steep, behind it is a high cliff, up and down, there is only this road in front of you, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but this is a dead place." The officer said dejectedly.

"Lift my spirits!" Seeing the officer's appearance, Pharmacist Li shouted loudly.

The officer was startled, quickly raised his head and stood straight.

"Our Ganzhou battalion, there is no bad seed, it's a big deal to fight to the death with the enemy, what's so terrible!" Pharmacist Li glared at the officer, if it was in the past, he would definitely beat him with twenty military sticks.

"General, my subordinates know that they are wrong!" The officer blamed himself and secretly scolded himself, which was really a shame for the Ganzhou battalion.

Pharmacist Li nodded.

"Tell the soldiers, tonight, we will fight the enemy to the death! ...... who can live"

Pharmacist Li paused slightly.

"Remember to burn paper for your brothers."
