Tarzan.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the wind is cold.

At the end of the latest charge of the rebels under the mountain, Zhao Ling commanded the soldiers to treat the wounded, and Zhao Yan sat on the side, wiping his long sword by the moonlight.

Zhao Qian walked over, sat next to him, handed him a steamed bun that had been cooled, and said, "I haven't eaten for a day, have you?" Eat! ”

"I'm not hungry, you can feed the wounded!" Zhao Yan said lightly.

"Aren't you a bad brain?" Zhao Qian said angrily, "A steamed bun can't save a person, if you are full, but you can save a lot of people, they are all brothers who live and die together, not that whose life is precious and whose life is cheap, in fact, your state is good, you can indeed save many people, if you faint, the blow to morale is too great!" ”

Zhao Yan took the steamed bun with his blood-stained hand and ate it.

Zhao Qian beckoned Zhao Ling to come over again, handed him a steamed bun, and said with a smile: "Growing so big, don't you think the steamed buns are so delicious?" ”

Zhao Ling sat down and asked while eating, "How long can the grain and grass on the mountain last?" ”

"There is a palace on this mountain, and the three princes will definitely not prepare enough food on the mountain before, and the civil and military officials will eat, and the palace people brought are also people, right? It is also necessary to eat, and there are 8,000 escorts, how many mouths do you count, and there are no supplies to go up the mountain, even if you save food, you will run out of food in one day at most! Next, we don't need to get the rebels under the mountain to attack the mountain, we are afraid that we will starve to death on the mountain, in my opinion, we must take advantage of the strength to take the mountain down the mountain and fight a bloody way! ”

"Father's strict order, only defend and not attack!" Zhao Yan continued to rub his long sword and said.

"I just can't understand what Your Majesty thinks!" Zhao Qian tilted his head with a puzzled expression, "Even if we rely on the dangerous terrain to defend and not attack, how long can we, the eight thousand, defend?" There are 110,000 people on the other side! I didn't expect to receive any news beforehand, Changsun Hu was able to mobilize so many people in a short period of time, it can be said that he has traveled thousands of miles, he only knew that what this Qiyang Duke is best at is running, it seems that this is true! Look at our side again, the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses who rescued them are long overdue, and now as long as the eldest grandson's family occupies the fortress at the foot of the mountain, they can't save us from running out of food, just so late for half a day's work is such an ending! ”

"160,000 against 110,000, the numerical advantage is not enough to defeat the other party in a short time, have the soldiers and horses of the other border passes been completely transferred over, I am afraid that other countries will take advantage of the fire to rob, and those who can be transferred over will be restrained by the other horses of Changsun Hu on the way, Changsun Hu has Qingzhou to supply grain and grass, and he is really not afraid of consuming it with us!" Zhao Qian picked up a stone and threw it forward, "The person who makes me think about it the most, Your Majesty didn't let the Xiao Cavalry Battalion follow, even the God Killing Camp is nowhere to be seen, tell me what Your Majesty is thinking about!" ”

"The father's arrangement has the meaning of the father's arrangement, let's just do it!" Zhao Yan said, "We don't know where the god-killing is, and the eldest grandson Hu is also worried about when the god-killing will be killed!" ”

"Not that now!" Zhao Qian said, "I'm not worried about when the rebels will attack now, I'm worried about the problem of grain and grass. ”

Zhao Ling lay down on the bluestone slab, looked at the stars in the sky and said: "You don't have to worry about it, Your Majesty has a clear heart about these things, Your Majesty chooses to sacrifice to the sky in Mount Tai, you must keep your back hand, if you don't have a back hand, then it's not Your Majesty!" ”

"You have big hearts!" Zhao Qian also lay down, "Although the last time I was in the grassland, I also experienced a war, but the last time I was not in danger, I could only be regarded as a shallow taste of accompanying Xiaoyu, I never knew that the war was so dangerous, second, did you live like this a few years ago?" I don't know when the danger will happen, I don't know if I will be able to go back alive, I don't know if the brother who is by my side now will be a corpse in the next moment......"

"The second year I entered the barracks, it was the time when the war was the most stalemate, but it was also at that time that I learned a lot of things, eating and sleeping in the open air, the day was precarious, but I lived a very full life, I knew that I was defending my family and the country, I met there brothers in life and death, good teachers, and my women......" Zhao Yan said, "But the thing I don't like the most is to swing my sword at my compatriots, we should fight side by side together!" ”

Zhao Ling patted Zhao Yan on the shoulder: "The so-called wounded enemy is 1,000 and 800 self-damage, if the eldest grandson Hu really has to make a desperate bet, the dead and injured are all the soldiers of the Great Zhou, Your Majesty has been planning for a long time, just to reduce the loss of internal friction to the minimum, beware of surrounding countries taking this opportunity to become bigger, so Your Majesty should have a more careful plan!" ”

"I think the same as you, so now just do what my father tells me!" Zhao Yan said with a smile.

In the palace, all the officials are worried about the current situation, it seems that only Emperor Zhou is detached, not caring at all, he is still strolling leisurely, taking Qi Guifei to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the top of Mount Tai, although the horn sounded through the valley, the beacon smoke suddenly rose, he turned a deaf ear, turned a blind eye, and was full of confidence in the current war.

Emperor Zhou took Concubine Qi to watch the sunset, the remnant sun was like blood, and the sunset on the horizon was red like fire.

Even though His Majesty the Emperor's current situation was full of information, Prime Minister Bai was already anxious, and there were more gray hairs on his head, so he couldn't help but spoil Emperor Zhou's interest and asked, "This food and grass are not enough, I don't know what Your Majesty is planning to do in this belly?" ”

Emperor Zhou just watched the sunset slowly sink from the sky, silent.

Qi Guifei said: "The adults and the palace people have decided not to eat, and give the food to the soldiers, we are hungry for a few meals, and the soldiers can't be hungry, but even so, after a rough calculation, this is only half a day's work at most, and there will be no food and grass tomorrow, Your Majesty can deal with it in your heart?" Otherwise, let Yan'er lead people to rush down the mountain, and join forces with the army outside, you should be able to fight a bloody way and solve the urgent need! ”

Emperor Zhou didn't seem to listen to her, and said in response: "What time is the beginning of today?" ”

"It's the seventh day of the first month!" Concubine Qi replied.

"Oh!" Emperor Zhou nodded, "Changsun Hu is good at running, so his soldiers and horses can come so fast, but his grain and grass can't keep up, in other words, he is also besieged by my army!" To maintain the speed of his running, his grain and grass have been brought for at most half a month, and it is the seventh day of the first month, and his grain and grass are about to be broken! ”

Concubine Qi doesn't know how His Majesty calculates, our grain and grass will be cut off tomorrow, and besides, people are at the bottom of the mountain, they will definitely be able to raise grain and grass, and when their food is cut out, they are afraid that they will all starve to death on the mountain!

Emperor Zhou saw that the sun was setting and the twilight was rising around him, so he turned around and left, and he didn't seem to have any intention to explain.

Since the eighth day of the first lunar month, the soldiers and palace people on the mountain and the hundred officials have run out of food.

A wave of despair began to spread among the soldiers.

In the middle of the night, the rebels once again charged. The trumpets sounded again, and smoke rose everywhere, and everywhere there were the sounds of hand-to-hand combat, wailing, and angry roars.

However, because of the advantageous location, the guards once again held their positions, and the other side once again returned in vain.

Zhao Ling pulled out his long sword, the warm and smelly blood sprinkled on his face, he pulled out the long sword, kicked the corpse away, and spat at the figure of the rebels retreating down the mountain.

He crouched down, grabbed a handful of clean snow and wiped his face before taking his sword and accompanying the soldiers to examine the corpses of the rebels and rescue his wounded brother.

"I haven't eaten for three days, I'm so hungry that my chest is close to my belly, and I don't have any strength at all!" Zhao Qian leaned against the tree and said weakly, "My day, if it goes on like this, if there is no group of debris to kill, I will starve to death here first!" ”

After being with these soldiers for a long time, the gentle and jade-like Jin Wang Ye has also learned to scold people, and it is very smooth, there is a thick layer of blood on his face, and the armor is also dirty and the original color cannot be seen, but now he seems to be in no mood to care about these anymore.

"Bear with me, it'll be over soon!" Zhao Ling sat down beside him and said.

"Didn't you say that Your Majesty made another move?" Zhao Qian sighed, "I'm waiting for our majesty to conjure up food!" Waited for three or four days, and nothing came out! The game in the mountains has been eaten, and you can see what everyone eats, bark! Can you fight a war by eating this thing? ”

Zhao Yan walked over, sat next to the two of them and said, "I found that no, the other party's offensive has slowed down, it should be that he knows about our food shortage, and wants to drag us to death on the mountain!" ”

Zhao Yan's hands were bandaged, and Zhao Ling exclaimed, "Why is it injured?" Is it serious? ”

"Skin trauma, out of the way!" Zhao Yan said lightly.

"Now that you know what the other party thinks, do you have a way to deal with it?" Zhao Qian asked irritably, "No, I have to go up the mountain and ask Your Majesty what he is planning, if I can't conjure up food, I have to rush out while we still have a breath, if we are really starved to death, it will be too miserable!" ”

"Don't be impulsive, my father must have other plans, isn't the mountain also starving?" Zhao Ling persuaded.

"At this time, you still believe in Your Majesty!" Zhao Qian turned his head to the side, "I'll wait for another day, if there is no food, I will lead people to rush down the mountain, anyway, they will all die, and I will not wait here to die!" What the hell is going on with the two of you, we are the ones who rush to the front, the ones who should know the current situation the most, do you also stupidly believe that Your Majesty will solve everything? ”

"I believe it!" Zhao Yan said.

"I believe it too!" Zhao Ling then said.

"Good, good!" Zhao Qian got up, "You believe you, anyway, my words are here!" ”
