Chapter 291: A Few Joys and a Few Sorrows (1)

The howling north wind swept the earth, the weeds and branches on the ground were wrapped in the wind and flew everywhere, roaring between heaven and earth, as if they wanted to tear apart the darkness in front of them, the snowflakes floated, between heaven and earth, flying freely, like a group of free elves, not afraid of the raging wind, after a night of heavy snowfall, the earth returned to calm, and everything on the ground was also covered with a thick layer of snowflakes!

Suddenly, it was like the spring breeze that night, thousands of trees seemed to be in full bloom, snowflakes scattered into the bead curtain and wet the curtain, and the fox fur was too thin to wear a warm brocade quilt. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Fortunately, in this big tent, the fire kept all night, and the big tent was scorched, and even the tent was rarely covered with snowflakes.

Gan Mao's big camp, looking at the white expanse between heaven and earth, didn't feel like he clapped his hands and sighed:

"Frozen for thousands of miles, Ruixue is a good year!" As he spoke, he turned to look at these warriors guarding the door, their faces were blue and their legs were trembling unconsciously, but in their eyes, they didn't flinch at all, their eyes looked firmly into the distance, and they still held their spears tightly in their hands.

Such endurance really impressed Gan Mao, as the prime minister, since he entered the Qin State, he has been wandering in the palace, and he has never had the experience of going deep into the military. The previous understanding of the Qin army was only through the words and deeds of the generals of the DPRK, but this time, it was different, it was a rare opportunity to let himself and the ordinary soldiers of the Qin army be in such close contact.

"It's freezing outside, so it's warm in the big tent, right?" Gan Mao had already noticed that there were not many clothes to protect against the cold in the armor of these soldiers, and he felt compassion and spoke.

The samurai guarding the gate, hearing such an order, quickly knelt down on the ground and gratefully:

"The prime minister is in danger of the army, and we dare not leave half a step without permission!" Hearing such an answer, a satisfied smile appeared on Gan Mao's face.

"Moving like a tiger, quiet like a mountain! What a mighty man! Gan Mao couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

"Thank you Prime Minister for your appreciation!" The samurai guarding the gate knelt down and thanked him. Hearing the prime minister's evaluation, infinite heat suddenly arose on his body, resisting the cold in front of him outside his body.

It can be seen that Gan Mao's mood at this moment is very relaxed, without the slightest sense of tension about the imminent war, standing outside the tent and breathing the cold air. But at the same time, these soldiers were wondering why this army had not yet fought and why it had to retreat more than ten miles.

The samurai guarding the door, seeing that today's prime minister looked good and was in a good mood, the key was that Fang Cai also praised these people, taking this opportunity, the military general guarding the door asked:

"There is something unclear about the prime minister's humble position, and I hope the prime minister will show it!"

"Oh? I don't know what happened, the general said! When Gan Mao heard that the samurai had something unclear, he quickly put away his own casual thoughts, turned around, and asked very, very seriously.

"No! This army has not yet fought, why did our army retreat more than ten miles first? How many doubts did the soldiers have? The samurai guarding the gate said.

The three armies are confused and suspicious, and the princes are in difficulty. It is said that the chaotic army wins, and Gan Mao naturally knows this truth. At this time, the words of the samurai reminded him of the current army.

No, because of his own plan, not everyone can know about it, so from the very beginning, the army was full of doubts about the prime minister's strategy of using troops.

Not to mention the uselessness of those siege equipment, just after losing two battles in a row before this battle, instead of taking the opportunity to continue the attack, the army retreated more than ten miles, and all the soldiers were at a loss and full of doubts.

Gan Mao did not answer the samurai's question, but pinched something with his hand, and the samurai did not dare to ask any more when he saw that the prime minister did not answer his question.

Just quietly waiting for the prime minister's reply, Gan Mao pinched his fingers and said:

"I'll see it today! General, don't worry! Gan Mao calculated the speed of the army's march, if there was no accident, he should have crossed the Sky Ridge by this time.

In fact, Gan Mao didn't expect that at this moment, Meng Shuo and Bai Qi's army had not only crossed the Sky Ridge, but also arrived at Jiangyou last night, and after Jiangyou rested a little, the army was on the way to Mianzhu at this moment.

The night of wind and snow did not stop the march of the army, and after resting, the army broke out again with amazing combat effectiveness.

Meng said that the army left along the way was also chasing forward non-stop at this moment, and the follow-up army re-strengthened the rope left by the pioneer under the Sky Ridge.

At the same time, a simple plank road was dug along the mountain, and the horses and some baggage could be transported together, and Meng said that Ah Jiu was also pulled down from the mountain road.

Because the reinforcement army no longer had to go to Fengshan to open the road, the speed of the march was very fast, and most of them were already concentrated in Jiangyou City at this time.

There is a vast space between heaven and earth, and in the white snow, countless horses are running in different directions, speeding up and delivering news.

For the prime minister's specious answer, the samurai also didn't know what the reason, and secretly thought in their hearts, maybe it was too important to disclose it, and after looking at each other, they didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Gan Mao looked at everyone, and he also intended to joke with these warriors, and then pretended to be a hypocrisy:

"Don't leak it!" Then he laughed and walked around the camp in a very comfortable mood. For the sake of safety, this Sima Tso rarely goes out during the day, and always stays in the big tent.

As he walked, Gan Mao seemed to remember something, and was about to come to Sima Cuo to discuss, when he was about to take a step, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him.

Gan Mao unconsciously looked back, only to see the horses from far and near, the guards of the soldiers, did not dare to stop at all, and when they came closer, they hurriedly jumped off the back of the horse to a samurai, due to the rapid running on the road, this week the body exuded heat, and the horses sitting down were also out of breath. It can be seen that this person and horse did not dare to have the slightest delay on the road, and rushed desperately.

The man turned and dismounted, and came straight to Kammao, and came near, and fell on his knees, saying:

"Prime Minister Qi, 100,000 urgent!" Saying that, he handed over the mechanism box in his hand, and Gan Mao saw that this was the message box of the 'Flying Feather Guard', and the level of secrecy was not low! Quickly take out the key to open the trap box from within his cuff. At the same time, Kammo looked left and right to see that this was not the place to open the trap box.

"Talk back in the tent!" Gan Mao shouted 'Flying Feather Guard' and entered the big tent together, the stakes were very high, for fear that the news would leak outside.

The 'Flying Feather Guard' followed Gan Mao into the big tent, and Gan Mao came to the desk and carefully opened the trap box.

took out the secret letter inside, and the news in front of him made him happy all of a sudden, and said:

"Good! This Meng said that it really lived up to expectations! After Gan Mao read it, he quickly stuffed the secret letter into the box, and then said to the 'Flying Feather Guard' who sent the letter:

"Send the letter to Xianyang and hand it over to the king immediately!"

"No! What else does the prime minister have to convey to the king! 'Flying Feather Guard' then asked.

Gan Mao pondered for a moment and then said:

When the king saw this letter, he understood! Needless to say! Go for it! ”

"No!" The 'Flying Feather Guard' turned and left.

Gan Mao looked at the distant 'Flying Feather Guard' and felt extremely proud, the pass in front of him was no longer an obstacle to his progress, and his suspicious plan seemed to have played the expected effect at this time.

The news must be told to Sima Cuo as soon as possible. The two of them also planned their next move, and Gan Mao rushed out of the tent with joy.

At the same time, another team of people was on the way to Chengdu, Jiangyou City was broken, and the news that the army of Qin was approaching Mianzhu was intercepted by the secret agents of Bashu, and the secret agents were fast horses to deliver the news back to Chengdu! (To be continued.) )
