The weather is gradually entering the harsh winter, the wind is coming, the sky is full of clouds, pieces of snowflakes are falling, the ground is a layer of silver for a long time, the ground paved with blue bricks, it seems to be covered with jade powder, the footsteps are stepped on, the sound of sizzling rises, and it comes into the ears, which makes people's hearts start without thinking.

Yang Fan, who was standing against the wind, had his eyebrows slightly stained with white dust, his face was grim, he looked at the sky with his back hand, and did not say a word for a long time. Behind him, Yao Fang followed closely, a thin layer of frost had fallen on his shoulders, and he had obviously been standing for a long time.

"Alas......" A light sigh came from Yang Fan's mouth, and after a while, there was no follow-up.

Yao Fang was surprised in his heart, and asked softly, "Why is the general sighing?" ”

Yang Fan didn't turn around, but said, "Yue Shao'an seems to be unable to sit still." It's just that this time he inevitably gambled too much, and he was likely to lose all the games by accident, and in the end he even put his own life into it. ”

"yes!" Yao Fang nodded and said: "Speaking of which, after all, we relied on Yue Shao'an's promotion to get to where we are today, and when we first started to fight in Song Shicheng, we also had our own masters, and we really didn't want to be enemies with him in our hearts." This time, since he used troops against Dali, it seems that he still remembers the matter of the general's reconciliation with him last time. ”

"Not necessarily." Yang Fan looked at the heavy snow in the sky, swept down, as if there was an invisible dragon rolling in it, so that his vision became more and more confused, touching the scene, this sky full of snowflakes, it was like the general trend of the world, in it, who the hidden dragon was, but he couldn't understand, he had no clue about how to deal with himself Yang Fan, after that, he was silent again and closed his mouth.

Yao Fang waited for a long time and didn't see him move, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where is this, hasn't he already received everything?" Moreover, he did not use troops against us. ”

"There must be something strange in this, he doesn't use troops against us, which shows that Yue Shaoan has not lost his mind because of hatred. However, this is really because he has accepted our suggestion to fix it, or he is temporarily holding back and planning to take it slowly, which I am not sure at all. Yang Fan slowly turned his head and said in a low voice: "He must not be defeated with troops in Dali this time, once the army is defeated, he will never recover. ”

Yao Fang's brows furrowed, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but gasp, and said, "In this way, Yue Shao'an is indeed dangerous this time. He walked such a dangerous way, why did the general sigh? ”

Yang Fan shook his head lightly and sighed: "I'm sighing, we don't even have the capital to take risks......

Yao Fang was stunned for a while, not knowing how to talk, and after a while, his face turned pale and he fell silent.

At the same time, in Niu Qing's big tent, Li Canming and Wu Su sat opposite Niu Qing, their expressions were a little unnatural, although they did not sigh lightly, but the sigh was overflowing. Niu Qing saw it in his eyes, so he changed Zhang Fan to greet the two, and he was polite a few times before going back to the account.

After the banquet, Li Canming sent Wusu to the tent, and he came to Niu Qing's tent with his head, listening to the discussion inside, he hesitated, turned around and wanted to leave, but at this time, Niu Qing ordered someone to call him back.

In front of the generals, Niu Qing introduced Li Canming emphatically, and said that he was now his own family, and when he talked about military aircraft, he did not hide it from him. This made Li Canming very moved, of course, more importantly, since the surrender of the nervous mood was calmed down, until this moment, he no longer had any doubts, felt that Niu Qing had really trusted him, therefore, after the military discussion, the soldiers had just left, he knelt down and saluted, and said: "General, my subordinates have the courage to ask for orders to go to the city, please ask the general for permission." ”

"Oh?" Niu Qing was slightly surprised and said, "What is General Li going to do?" ”

Li Canming took a deep breath, stabilized his mood, and said, "Please ask the general to allocate five thousand men and horses to his subordinates, let them change into Dali's military uniforms, and then pretend to be a triumphant division and go straight to the county seat." During this period, the general can lead a large army to follow, and when the city gate is opened, we will take the opportunity to enter, and then the general will respond in the rear, not afraid that the county town will not be able to fight. ”

Niu Qing shook his head after hearing this, and said, "No, this trip is too risky, and you have already killed the two lieutenant generals before." Since they are Xu Dashao's henchmen, naturally he will let you in only when he sees them, how can he open the city gate when the time comes. Moreover, there were suddenly more than 15,000 more people in the army, and these people surrendered only because the situation forced them. There must be many people among them who are not convinced, and when our army enters the city, these people in the camp will not be suppressed by the two of you, in case there is a mutiny, how can it be ......"

"General......

Li Canming still wants to argue. Niu Qing raised his hand slightly and said, "General Li, this matter is so decided, there is no need to say more." You've been tired for a long time, so go back to your tent and rest. ”

Li Canming opened his mouth, but he couldn't say it, paused, his face darkened, and he gently saluted, and said: "My subordinates retire!" Then he withdrew quietly, and went toward his tent.

was blocked by Niu Qing's words, which made the confidence he had just established a little shaken, his face was very ugly, he lowered his head all the way, and even ignored the greeting of the sergeant next to him. He hadn't looked up until he had reached his tent, when a familiar voice came into his ears.

"Ming'er doesn't know when she will be back."

"Mother, you don't have to worry, I heard that Lord Niu Qing is very important to her husband, and she is talking to him about military affairs at the moment. Since General Xu fell ill and the young general was in charge, Fujun has been depressed, and now he must be very happy to be reused. Let's be patient......"

"Having said that, it's just that my mother can't rest assured in my heart......"

“……”

The sound of the conversation between the two in the tent came into Li Canming's ears, making him stunned, because the voice was too familiar, and it was clearly his wife and mother talking. Li Canming lost his father when he was young, and there was only one old mother in the family, and he only married one wife and had no concubines. Therefore, he was very concerned about these two people, and at this moment he suddenly heard the voices of the two people, which made him very surprised, and he doubted his ears. I felt that it was impossible for my mother and wife to be talking, and it was probably because I missed it too much and had auditory hallucinations. But the voice of the words in the tent was so real, it seemed unreal.

Li Canming couldn't help but speed up his pace, took three steps and made two steps, and quickly ran to the front of the tent, and rushed in one step before his subordinates could lift the curtain for him. Entering the tent, the figures of the two came into view, and they were clearly the mother and lady who were always worried. He was speechless in astonishment, but her mother pulled him to her side with a happy face.

Seeing that the mother and wife were not the slightest abnormal, apparently they were not frightened when they were picked up. This made it a little difficult for him to accept, because from the time they surrendered to the present, even if Niu Qing sent a horse to pick up people quickly, there would be no one to stop them on the way, and the time was not enough.

However, his mother and wife were fine, but he was so happy that he forgot to ask about them. After the initial excitement of the family, Li Canming asked the reason.

It turned out that not long after he and Wusu led the army out of the city, someone found him in his mansion and told his mother that he and Wusu had decided not to return to the city because they were persecuted by Xu Dashao, and specially sent them to pick up the two of them. Moreover, there is also one of his personal soldiers, plus since Xu Dashao took the position, he has been sullen. The two of them had no more suspicions, and followed the person and left. It's been half an hour since I came to the army.

Li Canming listened to what happened, and his face turned pale with horror. After listening to his mother's account, Li Canming realized that before the two armies came into contact, Niu Qing had already sent someone to pick up his mother and mother-in-law. If he decides not to surrender, then his mother and wife are probably in danger at this moment.

Thinking of this, he was even more afraid. Hurriedly ordered someone to go to Wusu to investigate, and the result was the same as his, Wusu was now talking with joy in his arms and concubine.

After a while, a small colonel came to ask for a meeting, and after Li Canming received the meeting, the junior colonel gave a military salute and said with a smile: "General, General Niu asked his subordinates to bring a message to the general." ”

"Please!" Li Canming was very polite, although the other party's official position was much lower than his own, but after all, he was a person who had just surrendered, and it was not easy to get any official position.

The little colonel was very respectful and said, "General Niu said that he made the old lady and his wife bumpy and tired along the way, and asked his subordinates to take him to apologize to the old lady and the lady." He also said that the rest of the general's family had been properly resettled in the city because of the large number of people who were not able to leave the city, and they would come one after another. Please rest assured, oh, by the way, there is already someone on General Usu's side to tell him......"

Li Canming looked at the junior colonel in a daze, and sighed for a long time before he said, "General Niu is really a god!" If the student is still like this, what kind of person should the emperor be. Li Canming is convinced, please tell General Niu that from now on, Li Canming will definitely serve the emperor and General Niu wholeheartedly, but if he has two hearts, he will let Li Canming die with ten thousand arrows through his heart, and he will not die well......."

The general was serious. The subordinates will definitely bring the words to the ......", and the little colonel gave a deep salute again, and then withdrew.

Li Canming watched the little colonel leave, his eyes were extremely complicated, and he stared at the tent door for a long time and never turned back......
