Chu Shenxia sat down again, slowly turning the cup in his hand, but his eyes didn't know where to go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Jing Yan paced around in Li Fu's posture, and said hurriedly: "I still have something!" ”

Chu Shenxia closed the book, raised his eyes and said slowly: "I can't open my grandfather's lock, but... What are you going to do in such a hurry? ”

"I'm anxious... What do you ask so much for? You're not usually so busy. A hint of suspicion flashed in Jing Min's eyes, but it was only a matter of a moment.

"Oh, I just wanted to hear you talk about your urgency so I could smile." It's rare that he has the heart to joke about Jing Yi today, if in normal times, the two will fight if they don't agree on a word.

Jing Min glanced at him and sneered, "I want to see what you can do?" Anyway, no matter how anxious I am, I'm not as anxious as you. ”

Chu Shenxia lifted his sleeve and poured himself a cup of tea, took a shallow sip, and said in a small voice: "Jing Yan, is the Toothless Set there for you?" ”

Jing Min slowly turned his head to the side, as if he wanted to avoid his inquiring gaze, and raised his voice: "How is it possible, how can the cheats of the people on the rivers and lakes fighting for their heads be on me?" ”

Chu Shenxia glanced at him obliquely, Jing Yan met his gaze, frowned, and said a little seriously: "Chu Shenxia, I can tell you, don't fight that thing's idea!" ”

Jing Min's speech has never been in tune, and when he is rarely serious, Chu Shenxia heard him say this, so he stopped asking, and said lazily: "I just ask casually." ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked to the window, the mountain wind was a little strong today, and he would definitely suffer the cold if he didn't put on a robe.

Chu Shenxia closed his eyes and faced the wind, the wind drilled desperately into his neck, his eyelashes trembled from the cold, and although his teeth chattered badly, there was no superfluous expression on his face.

The next day, when the first rays of the rising sun shone through the window, Jing Yi woke up and he was the only one left in the room.

He laughed a little helplessly: "The old man's lock still can't lock him." ”

The column led by Liu Yan, the king of Shun, marched through Xinyang, crossed Yulin Mountain, and came to Xingyang City, which was only 20 kilometers away from the lost Jiaqing Pass.

At such a close distance, neither army dared to act rashly, even though the Lu State only had 30,000 soldiers and horses, while the Song State had as many as 100,000 soldiers and horses, and had an absolute advantage in numbers.

These days are the winter solstice, and the snow is very large, covering the ground outside Xingyang City tightly, and it is impossible to see which is the river and which is the flat land. Yun Chong, the general of Lu State, scolded and shouted war under the city gate, and was killed by Pei Shudong, the deputy general known as the magic arrow, with an arrow through the heart, and the Lu army surrendered without a fight.

This victory came strangely, but it was also expected by everyone, the marching army had never been defeated, and it was precisely because of this that it gradually became a little arrogant, and a celebration banquet was set up that night.

No one expected that when everyone was drinking in the dark and relaxed their vigilance, the 30,000 prisoners of war would join forces with the 50,000 Lu troops hidden outside the city to slaughter Xingyang City.

The marching army killed the enemy all the way, and was forced to retreat all the way, and they couldn't take care of the people in Xingyang City at all. Overnight, Xingyang City turned into a dead city, with corpses paved on every road. The snow fell and fell, and it melted immediately when it fell on the warm blood, and it was unusually cold in the second half of the night, but every soldier's heart was hot, and the blood was boiling and boiling, and their eyes were as red as blood.

The Lu army was red-eyed, and the marching army was crying and red-eyed.

When the 100,000 marching troops were forced into the mountains, there were less than 40,000 troops left, and the weather was freezing cold, especially on the top of this mountain, where there was no grass, and there were less than 30% of the soldiers in combat effectiveness.

The scarce number of tents were occupied by wounded soldiers, and even the commander Liu Yan gave up the tents and huddled them in the cave with the soldiers to keep warm.

Everyone's expressions were sudden, and they had never fallen so big in the twenty years of marching on the battlefield. No one would question or blame the manager, who had been in the barracks since six years ago, so to speak, and they watched him grow up.

Liu Yan got up from the fire and took two steps inside, and Pei Shudong followed and shouted softly: "Your Highness." ”

He tilted his head slightly, seeing that his adjutant general's face was not blaming except for worry, his eyes were suddenly full of pain, he clenched his teeth and punched the mountain wall, and said in a deep voice: "Why didn't I think of it?!" ”

"Your Highness, the top priority should be to find a way to break out of the encirclement! Your Highness, our 40,000 soldiers are all dispatched by His Royal Highness, and everyone is an iron-clad man, no matter whether they live or die, they will never complain! Pei Shudong said loudly.

He said it sincerely, but Liu Yan was still stung by a few words in his words. He closed his eyes tightly, and his mind was full of lingering words such as forty thousand, complaints, and life and death.

Suddenly opened his eyes, the sadness in his eyes faded in an instant, Liu Yan turned around and said in a firm tone: "Bring the map!" ”

Pei Shudong's eyes jumped and he hurriedly responded, handed the map to him, and personally took the torch from the hands of the soldiers on the side, trying to get as close to him as possible so that he could see clearly.

"Where is Lu Jun now? How many troops are there? Liu Yan's eyebrows furrowed when he saw the map.

"There are 20,000 soldiers on the mountainside, and there are 20,000 at the foot of the mountainside, but according to their tents, it is estimated that there are 30,000 or 40,000 people." Pei Shudong pointed out a few points on the map to him.

Liu Yan was silent for a while with a solemn expression before saying: "The east slope and the south slope are land, and the north and west sides are surrounded by the Changlin River. There shouldn't be a lot of troops in the northwest, and we can evacuate from there, along the Changlin River to Yulin Mountain. Reinforcements converge at Yulin Mountain and Xinyang. ”

Pei Shudong's eyebrows frowned slightly, his fingers swiped around the north side of the hillside, Liu Yan glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Highness, the road here is not easy to walk, so many of us have big goals, the march is slow, and we don't have ships at all." Pei Shudong objected.

Liu Yan was about to speak, when a low-pitched but powerful voice came from the entrance of the cave: "Is Your Highness here?" ”

Pei Shudong responded loudly: "What's the matter? ”

The man had already walked in front of him, and Pei Shudong was obviously displeased: "Who let you break in?" Don't you know that this is the place where His Highness deliberates? ”

Liu Yan looked at the man by the faint light of the fire, and only felt that his posture was as tall as a tree, and his face was as calm as an orchid, but he was dressed as an ordinary soldier, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Your Highness, I am from the camp of General Xie of the former army, and I have come to offer advice." The man ignored Pei Shudong and nodded slightly at Liu Yan.

Liu Yan has seen too many people who offer advice, all of them are here for promotion and wealth. But there is no ambition and greed in him, but an oppressive momentum. He couldn't help but get nervous, his free hand secretly pressed the hilt of the sword, and his eyes tightened and asked, "You said that you were from General Xie's camp, why didn't he introduce you?" Isn't that too unruly? ”

The man's eyes floated, he looked at Pei Shudong, and said with some amusement: "Has Your Highness forgotten?" General Xie has died in battle, how to introduce him? ”

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Pei Shudong with a little anger, Pei Shudong had a dark face, avoiding his burning gaze and stopped talking.

Liu Yan moved his gaze from Pei Shudong's face to the man's face, stared at it for a while, and found that the person was not hiding or avoiding, and he was not afraid, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, Chu Shenxia."

When Liu Yan heard this name, his heart jumped suddenly, Chu Shenxia, so familiar and so similar, opened his mouth again and again, but he still didn't ask.

"I think that at this moment, we should gather all our forces and break through the encirclement of the Lu army in one go." Chu Shenxia's gaze fell on the map in Liu Yan's hand.

Pei Shudong was the first to jump out and retort: "Ridiculous! It's ridiculous, you can say such a stupid idea? Our strength is less than fifty percent of the Lu army, how can we confront them head-on? ”

"Otherwise, does General Pei plan to stay on this mountain? As far as I know, our army's food and grass are far less than three days. Chu Shenxia raised his voice.

Pei Shudong was choked by his words, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Our reinforcements will come soon, as long as we hold on for one more day." ”

Chu Shenxia raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "General Pei thinks that the reinforcements are still coming?" They are already too busy to take care of themselves. ”

"What?" Both of them turned pale, and Liu Yan looked at him in disbelief.

"The Lu army on the mountainside is actually only more than 10,000 people, and most of the tents at the foot of the mountain are empty, where does Your Highness think their main force has gone?"

Pei Shudong interjected: "How do you know? ”

Chu Shenxia didn't respond, waiting for Liu Yan to answer, Liu Yan pondered for a while and said, "Could it be... Could it be that they went directly to Xinyang? ”

The torch in Pei Shudong's hand shook violently, and he exclaimed, "Went to Xinyang?" How did you go to Xinyang? Isn't their purpose to destroy us? ”

"Because they're not aiming at us at all, they're procrastinating. They didn't intend to fight us to the death, so they retained their strength from the start, and the soldiers on the mountainside were only used to trap us. Chu Shenxia said clearly.

Liu Yan looked at the map in his hand with a solemn expression, and his doubts about Chu Shenxia were temporarily attracted by the current situation, and he raised his head for a long time before he raised his head and said: "Yes, if you fight with us, you will not get much cheap, and they will not have the strength to attack Xinyang again." The road to Xinyang is not easy to walk, and you have to climb over a very high Yulin Mountain. Since they did this, they must have been prepared for a long time, and they would definitely choose to take a boat to Xinyang. Although it was a detour to Xinyang along the Xinhe River, it was very convenient, and we also took a boat when we came. If we break through the encirclement and cross the Yulin Mountain, it is still possible to catch up with them. ”

After Liu Yan said this, he turned his head to look at Pei Shudong, and was about to give an order, when the person on the side said softly: "No." ”
