Chapter 203: Hearing the Bad News, I Can't Calm My Heart
Night covered the land, and the Song army camp on the banks of the Hongshui River was surprisingly quiet, because everyone was ready to go!
Ye Yu sat in the big tent, using the flickering firelight to bring out the heavy expression.
He was waiting, waiting for a message, a tacit understanding between him and Xiao Duolubu!
However, until now, Ye Yu still hasn't waited!
Since Ye Yu came to this era, he has always been cautious in the world, and he has been guarding against everyone around him with the ideology of a villain.
Although he also felt that it was tiring to do so, for a person who was in the middle of a whirlpool, there was no choice.
But there is always an exception in everything, such as Xiao Duolubu, who is one of the people that Ye Yu rarely trusts.
Coming alone for thousands of miles is not only a firm belief in his own strength, but also an absolute trust in Xiao Duolubu.
The Northern Expedition of the Great Army chose to divide the troops into two routes, and he did not attack several passes nearby, but borrowed the road from Tubo to open the border defense of Western Xia from Suzhou.
And one of the intentions of this is to show his Ye Yu's sincerity enough.
At the beginning of Yulei Mountain, Ye Yu once said that he wanted to open a road for the Western Liao army, so he chose to attack the pass city on the Xialiao border.
It was in front of Xiao Duolubu's eyes that the door to the territory of Western Xia was opened, which was not only Ye Yu's way to express his sincerity, but also gave Xiao Duolubu and the Western Liao army a visual impact!
Now that he has conquered thirty-six cities, all he has to wait for is Xiao Duolubu to fulfill his promise.
Just when Ye Yu was in a state of worry, suddenly a lone wolf outside the tent came with a voice of report: "Childe! ”
"Come in!"
"Someone left this thing and instructed his subordinates to hand it over to his son in person!" As he spoke, the lone wolf held a cloth bag in both hands and placed it in front of Ye Yu.
"Huh?"
Ye Yu was slightly clustered, not waiting for Xiao Duolubu's news, but waiting for a burden of unknown origin.
Ye Yu, who was puzzled in his heart, immediately opened the burden in front of him, and then asked, "Where is this person now?" ”
"I have left, and my subordinates asked for the origin of the name, but the man did not say anything......
As he spoke, Ye Yu had already opened the cloth bag, and saw that there was a sheepskin inside, with curved lines outlined on the front, and it was not difficult to find that it was a map if he carefully identified it.
And the back did not outline the lines, but left two sentences: the army is defeated, and the Red City Castle is gone!
What does that mean?
Ye Yu looked at these two sentences and the map, and immediately began to have doubts in his heart, he really couldn't understand what the deep meaning of these two sentences was.
Then he looked up at the lone wolf and asked, "What are the characteristics of this person?" ”
"He looks like a monk, but he is crazy and uninhibited, holding a broken fan and stepping on straw sandals......"
The lone wolf tried his best to recall the appearance of the person who left the baggage, but before he could finish speaking, Ye Yu stood up.
"It's him!?"
After being surprised, Ye Yu looked down at the parchment scroll, and his mood became even more solemn at this moment.
Obviously, the crazy monk in the mouth of the lone wolf is the Jidian monk who has the grace of reinvention to Ye Yu. Ye Yu knew that Jigong would not send this map for no reason, and it must be the deep meaning hidden in it.
But at this moment, Xin Qiji outside the tent suddenly reported: "Your Highness, the army is ready for war!" ”
"Hmmm! Let's go! ”
Ye Yu stuffed the parchment roll into his arms casually, put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, and then walked out of the barracks tent.
Because tonight, he is going to lead the army to raid Liangzhou, so as to meet Wu Ting's army outside Xiliangcheng.
With an order, the army quietly rushed to Xiliang Mansion at night!
When the moon was in the sky, the war spread rapidly, and Ye Yu led an army of 40,000 people to frantically approach Xiliang Mansion, and the momentum was like a bamboo.
When he arrived at the north gate of Xiliang City, Ye Yu ordered his army to quickly seize Xiliang Mansion, because of an inexplicable faint uneasiness that haunted his heart!
However, Liangzhou is worthy of being an important pass in the Western Xia Frontier, not only the city is high and deep, but also it is heavily guarded, and it is not easy to take it lightly.
Just when Ye Yu's siege army was frantically seizing and stalemate with the Xiliang defenders, the 100,000 gold led by Liu Qianfan swooped down with a crushing momentum.
The Jin army that came from the east was overwhelming, and its momentum was enough to make people frightened!
"Your Highness, the Jin soldiers have rushed here, and now Xiliang City is difficult to conquer for a while, if you wait until the Jin soldiers will block the back road, our army will be very disadvantaged by the enemy!"
"Your Highness, in the foolish opinion of the last general, it is better to avoid the edge of the golden soldiers for the time being!"
Regarding Xin Qiji's words of advice and Wu Yuechan's words, Ye Yu began to fall into a short contemplation amid the sound of war and soldiers.
"The Jin soldiers came quickly, our army was just about to attack the city, and they arrived in time......" looked at Xiliang City, which had not yet been captured, and then continued in a deep voice: "If you are attacked by the enemy, you will be subject to others, and withdraw the army!" ”
As soon as Ye Yu's voice fell, he suddenly came to report from behind.
"Report!"
"Speak quickly!"
"In the northwest, there is a Liao army coming here!"
"Oh?"
Ye Yu groaned slightly, and his expression suddenly looked a little strange, so he had a temporary question about the purpose of this Western Liao army.
At this moment, suddenly the rear probe horse came quickly.
"Your Highness!"
As soon as the words fell, the spies on the war horses had already turned over and dismounted: "Your Highness, on the way to probe the enemy in the rear, this person ......"
The spy was about to continue, when the bloody man on horseback suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.
"Temple...... Next, ...... Withdraw ......"
The bloody man fell to the ground, ignoring his own pain, but stretched out his bloody right hand towards Ye Yu.
In the bloody hands, the bloody things are tightly clutched!
"Xiao Tianhua! It's you! ……”
Although the blood man is already unrecognizable, Ye Yu can still see some characteristics that when he and Xiao Duolubu gathered on Yulei Mountain, the person guarding in the distance was Xiao Tianhua, so Ye Yu had a lot of impressions of this person.
In surprise, Ye Yu had already turned over and dismounted, and then helped Xiao Tianhua up, and asked eagerly: "What happened!?" ”
"Lord...... Male quilt ...... Poison...... Kill...... Fast...... Walk! ”
Xiao Tianhua said weakly, the blood in his mouth couldn't stop overflowing, and after finally finishing with all his strength, he put his right hand tightly in Ye Yu's hand.
Slowly spread out, there was a blood-soaked letter, and that strange and familiar token!
That was the token that Xiao Duolubu gave to Ye Yu in Lin'an, the capital, and then Ye Yu returned the token to Xiao Duolubu, and now it has returned to his eyes after several reciprocations!
"Brother Xiao, he ......"
Ye Yu was about to continue asking, but the right hand had already fallen mercilessly......
Ye Yu, who heard the bad news, was completely stunned at this moment, he didn't want to believe the facts, he held the bloody token tightly, and faintly made the sound of bone joints running-in.
The silence is silent, but it is difficult to hide the heart that is in collapse!
"Your Highness......"
"Withdraw!"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Northern Desert!"
"Yes!"
