Yi Li Siba took dozens of people out to look for two whole days, only to bring back a bloodstained saddle and Fang Tian's painting halberd that had cut off the moon blade.

Yi Li Siba said that they searched for a radius of dozens of miles, but only found Xue Chuyu's dead mount and his weapon. The search area can no longer be expanded, otherwise it will enter the enemy's sphere of influence. During the search, they were almost discovered by enemy scouts several times.

After the Battle of Nozhenshui, the Turks retreated temporarily, but did not flee in defeat. Their camp was stationed more than twenty miles east of Nuozhenshui, eyeing the tiger.

Things have come to this point, and many people already know it. With Xue Chuyu's personality, if he hadn't been killed in battle or had been captured involuntarily, it would have been impossible for him to throw away his weapon. Especially the Xue bow that he had passed down from his ancestors. In contrast, it seems more likely that they have already died in battle, because the Turkic soldiers were equally fond of weapons, and were especially keen to take all kinds of booty from the generals of the Tang army. If they captured Xue Chuyu, there was no reason not to take his weapons with them, as well as the luxurious saddle that Xue Shao had given him in his early years.

Everyone thought of this, how could Xue Shao not think of it?

He fell into a dead silence.

Yi Li Sipping said, "Tomorrow, I'll look for it again." ”

Xue Shao didn't answer, but barely squeezed out a smile, which could be regarded as expressing his heartfelt gratitude.

"I hit it off with General Yuguan, and he is also the father-in-law of my youngest son." "I'll keep looking until I find it." ”

Xue Shao nodded silently.

"Young Marshal, General Li Duozuo has woken up!" Wu Yuan came over to report the news in surprise.

"Quick, take me to see it!" Xue Shao got up and was about to leave.

"Young Marshal Xue, forgive me for being rude to interrupt." Yi Li Sipa said, "I just want to ask, will you continue to implement the plan you set before to move south?" ”

Xue Shao stood still and looked at Yi Li Sipping seriously, "What do you think I paid an incomparably heavy price to fight this battle in Nuo Zhenshui?" ”

Yi Li Sipa nodded, "I see." ”

"I have heard that your people and the people of Tongluo have fled in panic at the beginning of the battle. It's not your fault. Xue Shao said, "But now, you and Shena Si must get people back for me." Move across the Yellow River as quickly as possible, and temporarily settle next to Fengzhou City. ”

"Understood." Yi Li nodded expressionlessly, and then said, "What about General Yuguan?" ”

"I'll arrange it." Xue Shao said, "My people already know the approximate search range, so I don't need you to lead the way." Now, go ahead and do your part. ”

"Understood." Yi Li Sipping is still these two words.

Xue Shao didn't say anything more, and followed Wu Yuan to Li Duozuo's account.

Wu Yuan, who has been doing his best to treat Li Duozuo, said that Li Duozuo had countless injuries all over his body, and there were three fatal ones alone, and the blood was almost exhausted. It was a miracle that he was able to survive and wake up so quickly!

Xue Shao came to Li Duozuo's sickbed, held one of his hands, and called softly, "Brother Li? ”

Li Duozuo was almost wrapped into a mummy, and turned his head to look at Xue Shao with difficulty, as if he wanted to smile, but the expression he made was more ugly than crying.

"Don't talk, don't move, rest well." Xue Shao tried his best to remain calm and said softly, "Don't think about anything." ”

"Then I still have to ask......" Li Duozuo's voice was very weak and hoarse, "Let's win?" ”

"Win, big win!" Xue Shao tried to squeeze out a bright smile, "The Turks were repelled by us, fled, and got out of the way!" ”

"Don't try to lie to me." Li Duozuo closed his eyes with great difficulty, "How is this possible?" ”

"If it weren't for the victory, you and I would only be able to meet in the underworld. You're right? Xue Shao said, "Wang Xiaojie brought the Anxi Tiger Division to help in the battle, don't you know yet?" ”

"Oh?" Li Duozuo opened his eyes again, "This ...... It's like, it's even more impossible, right? ”

"Talking bad things about people behind your back, it's not like a hero like you did it!" A voice sounded outside the tent, and it was Wang Xiaojie.

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "Did you hear that?" ”

"Is it really here?" Li Duozuo is still in disbelief.

"Two heroes, can I come in? All of your guards are glaring at me fiercely, as if they had seen a Turk. I'm so panicked! Wang Xiaojie said outside the tent, still like that.

Li Duozuo took a breath and closed his eyes again, "This guy still has bad breath!" ”

"If you know this, why should you have the same knowledge as him?" Xue Shao smiled and comforted Li Duozuo, and then said to Wu Yuan, "Go, please General Wang come in." ”

Wang Xiaojie came in, his expression was very strange, as if he was a little excited, and he seemed to have a little nouveau riche self-aggrandizing superiority.

Xue Shao was already surprised, he had already been born with such a virtuous character, and he couldn't change it if he killed him. I can't get to know him in the details of small things.

Wang Xiaojie first went to Li Duozuo's bedside and bent down to take a look, and said with a smile: "I heard that General Li woke up, Wang specially came to visit." I didn't bring anything with me in a hurry, so please forgive me. ”

"General Lao Wang is worried." Li Duozuo reluctantly said a word, and closed his eyes with difficulty.

Xue Shao felt funny on the side, it was not easy for this kind word to come out of Wang Xiaojie's mouth.

"Then General Li should be healthy and recuperate, and I will send someone to send some supplements and meat when I am young." Wang Xiaojie said, "Wang is inconvenient to disturb, so he will leave." ”

Li Duozuo nodded his head with difficulty as a response, and Wang Xiaojie turned around and left.

Xue Shao knew that he was looking for him, so he walked out of the tent with him.

"My scouts have found out that the enemy has suddenly increased their forces this morning." Omitting all the opening remarks, Wang Xiaojie said directly, "According to rough estimates, they now have no less than 50,000 horses. ”

Xue Shao's brows furrowed and he fell into deep thought, and then said, "Could it be that Yuanzhen is here in person?" ”

"Possibly." Wang Xiaojie said, "I interrogated a few small captives captured on the battlefield, and they said that the Tutuo cavalry that had fought with our army before had 30,000 cavalry, and they were led by Shi Yukang, a confidant under the command of Yuan Zhen. Shi Yukang was originally a native of Shi Guo surnamed Zhaowu in the Western Regions, he followed Yuan Zhen's father as a retainer very early, and he had a very good relationship with Yuan Zhen, and had the friendship of uncle and nephew. Shi Yukang died in the last battle, yes--he was smashed into the chest by your subordinate named Niu Ben, and he couldn't pull it out. It is highly likely that Yuan Zhen personally came to take revenge. ”

"That's just one of the reasons at most." Xue Shao said, "Yuanzhen will not abandon the Hebei battlefield because of a little personal grudge, and personally lead the army here to supervise the war." ”

Wang Xiaojie frowned, "Is there another reason?" ”

Xue Shao didn't intend to hide it from him, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, so he simply told him about the plan of the two servants and bones to move south.

"No wonder!" Wang Xiaojie made a frightened expression, "The big wolf went out to forage for food, but you took out his wolf den to take away the little wolf cubs, so can he hurry back and fight with you?" ”

Xue Shao couldn't help but smile, his analogy was also an image, and it was almost the same thing.

"Now I can't help but wonder, is it worth it for you to do this?" Wang Xiaojie said with a kind of sarcasm, "Your people have suffered such heavy losses. Just in exchange for a few uncivilized Mobei Diao people? ”

Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "This is my business." ”

"In other words, it's none of my business?" Wang Xiaojie sneered, "Then should I slap my ass and leave immediately?" ”

"Yes." Xue Shao said indifferently, "This is not your battlefield, I am both grateful and admired for your generosity in coming to help in the war." If you want to go, it makes sense. Xue must be respectful, nothing else. ”

"Oops! ......" Wang Xiaojie gritted his teeth and sighed, "I really can't stand it, fighting with a noble and learned aristocratic son like you!" - Why don't we say something else useful? ”

Xue Shao smiled indifferently and opened the page, and said, "I know a little bit about Yuanzhen's character. He is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and he is ruthless in his heart. He usually doesn't make a move, but if he does, he will win. If he really came to Nuo Zhenshui in person, then a big battle with thousands of dead and wounded people would be inevitable. ”

"As if I was afraid of him!" Wang Xiaojie sneered, "Actually, I came to you just to inform you." You better hurry up and take your wounded and remnants and retreat to Toyosu! ”

"And then?" Xue Shao asked calmly.

"Here, just have me!" Wang Xiaojie grinned and said with a smile, "After I kill Yuanzhen, I will go to recover the two states of the Shuo Dynasty." In this way, the front of Helong and Hebei can be connected. I can also take the brother of the Anxi Tiger Division to meet our longing for General Wang. Well, just sit in Fengzhou and do your part - yes, don't you want to take in those people from Mobei who have fled? That's right! ”

Xue Shao took a deep breath to control his emotions and said, "Wang Xiaojie, I advise you to take the battle in front of you seriously. You are too arrogant and too underestimated. ”

"To borrow a phrase from you, this is my business, and you don't have to worry too much." Wang Xiaojie sneered unmoved, and said, "In the previous battle, your men and horses suffered serious losses, and our army could only be regarded as a miserable victory at best. Don't worry, I will report everything truthfully to the court. I'm not a thief, and I won't steal your military exploits. Whatever Wang wants, he will get it with his own ability. ”

Xue Shao's brows twisted slightly, Wang Xiaojie had something to say, obviously alluding to Xuan Yunzi.

"Why, you don't believe me?" Seeing that Xue Shao didn't speak, Wang Xiaojie asked.

Xue Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "At this time, you discuss the issue of merit with me?" ”

"Oh, I almost forgot that you are a noble nobleman, indifferent to fame and fortune!" Wang Xiaojie grinned and said, "I'm different from you, I'm from a poor background. What I want is fame and fortune. Well...... And the beauty! ”
