Finally, she finished her preparations. The scabbard came horizontally, and her hand was already gripping the hilt.

As long as she pulls out her sword and reaches out to the ground, her father's revenge can be avenged, and her hard work and humiliation will be snowed.

However, Li Qianyue hesitated at this time.

If this sword is stabbed down, Wei Changfeng will certainly die, but if the enemy army attacks again, who will stop it? Since joining the army, she has been in Wei Changfeng's team, and has seen Wei Changfeng's clever plans to retreat from the enemy several times, and she has also seen the incompetence of several senior generals. Now, the defenders of Xingcheng are only 3,000 people, although General Bai Shen is not an incompetent general, but the urgency in the face of danger is far inferior to Wei Changfeng, Xingcheng's safety, half, or even more than half of it is pinned on Wei Changfeng's body, if she really kills Wei Changfeng, is it possible that she will affect the safety of the entire Xingcheng? In that case, who is she taking revenge on? Is it to Wei Changfeng, or is it revenge on the entire Xingcheng people?

Thinking of this, Li Qianyue's hands couldn't help but tremble. She was really distraught. For a while, I thought, "What does it matter how to prosper the city, kill the enemy's hatred, and don't share the sky!" For a while, he thought again, "Actually, Wei Changfeng had no other way at that time, not to mention that he saved me twice, and I was afraid that killing him would be revenge", the hilt of the sword was cold, Li Qianyue held the hilt of the sword, and she couldn't make up her mind when she thought about it, and the hilt of the sword was a little hot.

She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't make up her mind, but her hand couldn't support it, her hand went weak, the hilt of the sword slipped, and her arm fell heavily on the bed again. Tears welled up in her eyes again, and she had to tilt her head to one side.

Wei Changfeng slept until three o'clock in the morning, only to be awakened by Li Qianyue's cough. He jumped up and looked at Li Qianyue first, seeing that Li Qianyue's face was flushed and her breathing was a little short, he hurriedly reached out to touch her forehead, feeling that although her forehead was not hot, it was full of cold sweat, and he was a little anxious for a while, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "But is it uncomfortable?" ”

Li Qianyue didn't want to pay attention to Wei Changfeng, but she didn't know what to do, so she replied: "No, it's just that I didn't sleep well." ”

Wei Changfeng was still a little uneasy, walked around the room twice, and asked, "Do you want me to ask for a doctor?" ”

Li Qianyue had to answer this time, she didn't want the doctor to look at herself anymore: "I'm fine." I just didn't sleep well. Wei Changfeng saw that Li Qianyue had to answer all questions, and he was very conscious, so he was a little relieved, bent down to clean up the quilt, and kept his body, but saw Tai'a Jian hanging on the bedside.

Wei Changfeng's body stiffened, he smiled reluctantly, took off the sword and hung it on his body, and said, "You rest, I'll go get food." ”

Li Qianyue snorted, knowing that Wei Changfeng had found out that he was going to kill him, otherwise why should he bring a sword to get food? That's fine, she didn't want to survive tonight anyway, so let's kill if you want to.

Wei Changfeng didn't think about killing Li Qianyue, he just carefully packed up all the sharp things, for two days, he was lying in the tent with his clothes closed, Li Qianyue had any movement, he would get up immediately to see what she needed no matter how heavy he slept anymore. Fortunately, Xingcheng was safe at this time, and Bai Qi knew that Wei Changfeng must be taking care of Li Qianyue, so he sent all the affairs to others, and Wei Changfeng had nothing to do, as long as he concentrated on taking care of Li Qianyue.

On the fifth day, Li Qianyue was already able to sit up reluctantly, and even walked two steps slowly. But Wei Changfeng had to go.

He is a grain transport officer, and the army must set off on the fifth day of departure to send the military grain to the front line, which is not a matter of delay, not to mention Li Qianyue's injury, he is afraid that it will not be able to get better for ten days and eight days, even if he delays the time, he will not be able to delay it for so long. In desperation, he had to ask Bai Qi to take care of Li Qianyue, and he led the team to set off to transport grain out of the city.

Li Qianyue sat on the bed, listening to Wei Changfeng's horse's hooves in the distance, and suddenly felt a little scared in her heart.

Wei Changfeng just told her and told her, instructed and instructed, and also stuffed the pillow for her on her back, but she didn't have any gratitude to Wei Changfeng in her heart, but secretly regretted that she didn't seize the opportunity to kill Wei Changfeng before, but when Wei Changfeng left, she suddenly felt that she had no support, and her heart was a little empty.

Wei Changfeng was riding on a horse, and the thousand soldiers behind him were all in good spirits, but Wei Changfeng himself was a little sluggish. It's no wonder that after five days of laying on the ground for five days in a row, and being alarmed from time to time, no one is in good spirits, but fortunately, this trip is just to transport military rations, and there is no need to kill the enemy in battle, even if there is no spirit, it is nothing.

For two days in a row, Wei Changfeng led the team all the way forward safely, and in the past two days, he slept very well and his spirit had recovered - he was the commander of the majority of the capital, commanding the whole army, and if there were any specific problems, he would naturally have a small commander to deal with, but he was a lot more leisurely. Early in the morning of the third day, the team was sorted out, and Wei Changfeng continued to lead the team forward.

After walking for more than an hour, Wei Changfeng ordered a rest, everyone sat on the side of the road, Wei Changfeng had nothing to do, looking at the distance in a daze, but thinking about Li Qianyue in his heart, I don't know how she and Bai Qi get along, whether they will assassinate Bai Qi again.

He was in a daze, but when he saw two soldiers pointing in front of him, he felt strange in his heart, and asked in a loud voice, "What are you looking at?" ”

A soldier pointed forward and said, "Wei Dutong, look, what's going on?" ”

Wei Changfeng looked forward intently, and couldn't help but be surprised.

(2) In the distance, dust and smoke were billowing up, and it seemed faintly that people were marching, looking in the direction, but they were coming towards their group.

"Is it an enemy army?" A soldier asked, a little nervously.

Wei Changfeng shook his head.

It is possible for a small number of enemy troops to appear, but judging from the smoke and dust, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people, and it is too impossible for such a large scale of enemy troops to appear in the current situation, one is that the enemy army is newly defeated, and I am afraid that it will not attack on a large scale, and second, the Han army is attacking forward, if there is such a large-scale enemy army, how can the Han army turn a blind eye?

"I'm guessing it's the cows." Another soldier said, "Sometimes the herd is startled, and the noise is amazing. ”

As soon as he said this, the other soldiers laughed and looked much more relaxed.

Wei Changfeng didn't dare to relax, he couldn't see clearly from a distance, as long as it wasn't sure that it was a herd, he still had to be careful. "Be on guard first," Wei Changfeng said, "if it's a herd, then make sense." ”

"The last general will go and see." On the side, the small capital commander Ma Wei asked for an order.

Wei Changfeng nodded. This matter is indeed something to see.

Ma Wei got on the reins and was about to set off, but Wei Changfeng grabbed him: "No need." Wei Changfeng sighed, "It's our troops." You see, that banner belongs to the Han army. ”

Ma Wei laughed: "A false alarm." ”

Wei Changfeng glanced at Ma Wei, saw that he was not joking, and thought that this little capital should end in the small capital system. He ignored Ma Wei and shouted, "All on alert! Set up the grain truck and retreat quickly! ”

Ma Wei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Wei Dutong, isn't it our army?" What do you want to ......?"

"Didn't you see them coming this way?" Wei Changfeng was a little anxious, this Ma Wei was really stupid, "They didn't advance to Jinzhou, but they came in the direction of Xingcheng, and they walked so fast, this is because they were defeated by the enemy in retreat!" ”

Ma Wei then understood, his face turned pale with surprise, and he shouted again and again that the soldiers set up the grain cart and retreated, but the grain cart was bulky, where could it go fast, seeing that the Han army was constantly approaching, and now it was clear that the flag was the Zhuzi flag, but it was slanted inside and out, and it was not a look at all, and the Han army was completely unentrenched, and the team was scattered, obviously the Han army on the left was defeated and was fleeing for its life in a hurry.

Wei Changfeng saw that the defeated troops were large and unorganized, these defeated soldiers rushed over for fear that they would not march in order, his grain carts occupied most of the road at this time, once the defeated soldiers poured in, the grain trucks would definitely block the road for the defeated soldiers to escape, and immediately ordered: "Connect the grain carts end to end, line up along the left side of the road, protect the grain carts, and get out of the way!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly pulled the grain carts aside and lined them up, and before they were lined up, the defeated soldiers had already poured over.

Wei Changfeng looked at those soldiers and felt sad in his heart. I saw that these soldiers were running one by one panting like oxen, the swords and guns had long been thrown away, most of the armor was incomplete, the horsemen on horseback were desperately beating the horses, and the ones on foot were rolling and climbing, and some soldiers ran and ran and fell down for a while, and they were immediately trampled on the ground by the people behind them, no one gave orders, no one listened to orders, and all of them had only one thing: to escape. The farther away from the enemy the better.

Is this still the high-spirited force that went to attack Jinzhou? Is it still the Han Army? The defeat was so miserable that people couldn't bear to look at it directly.

On the road, the dust and smoke brought up by the defeated soldiers became thicker and thicker, and then it almost reached the point where no one was seen on the other side, Wei Changfeng held a sword to protect the side of the grain cart, only to hear the people in the dust and smoke shouting horses neighing, crying, insulting, and crying for help poured into his ears, occasionally one or two defeated soldiers rushed to his front, but also passed by, no one asked Wei Changfeng which unit it was, no one asked them if they needed help, they were just desperately fleeing, fleeing, and fleeing again.

Wei Changfeng originally wanted to find some senior generals in the army, it was best to find General Zhu for help, they couldn't run fast with the grain cart, if they threw down these grain and grass, they would only finance the enemy, so they really needed help. However, in the dust and smoke, I can't see people clearly, but how to find the generals, not to mention that even if the generals are found, these generals are now coerced by the defeated soldiers, where to stop, they have to firmly protect the grain and grass on the side, waiting for the defeated soldiers to pass through.

The defeated brigade was finally exhausted, the dust and smoke were scattered, and the officers and men of the grain transport team were covered with ash one by one, as if they had just come out of the soil. Ma Wei hurriedly came to Wei Changfeng and asked: "Wei Dutong, are we just burning grain and grass and retreating?" ”

Wei Changfeng hesitated.

In this case, it is not a sin to burn the grain and grass and then retreat, it is inevitable, and the grain and grass must not be left to the enemy, but if the grain and grass are burned and retreated, can they run away?

Seeing Wei Changfeng hesitating, Ma Wei was anxious, and urged again: "Wei Dutong, please make a decision quickly, the enemy may arrive later." ”

As if in response to Ma Wei's words, the dust and smoke rose again in the distance, the sound of hooves rumbled, and the cavalry of the Donghu Army appeared!
