Chapter Ninety-One: Failure
"You know what? I can't wait. Yao Chi said, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He desperately wanted her.
He couldn't look at her in someone else's arms.
As he said this, his expression was full of gloom.
Chu Qing looked at him like this, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she swore that she would never let go of the man in front of her for the rest of her life.
"Can I bring my father something to eat?"
"Don't go for now, don't worry, I won't kill him." Yao Chi said soothingly.
Chu Qing saw that he was not speaking in his arms.
……
The heat of June was the hardest, even the air was stuffy, and swarms of flies were gnawing at the rotting corpses of the dead on the battlefield.
Not far away, a violent heat wave blew in the hot wind, and everyone's breath was dry, and their lips even chapped because of it.
The soldiers took off their heavy armor and exposed their bodies, holding the only water source in their arms.
"General, I'm dying of thirst, drink the last sip of water." As he spoke, the soldier handed the fluttering water bag to Qin Shao.
Qin Shao pushed it away: "When this battle is over, I will definitely take my brothers to eat and drink spicy food!" ”
The momentum of the crowd has increased greatly, and they have been winning all the time, and the Turks are not opponents at all, and they have been beaten and retreated, not to mention heavy losses.
Qin Shao led the soldiers to rush out, and in the sound of the horn swallowing mountains and rivers, a new round of fighting began.
The war lasted until sunset, and the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on the blood-soaked earth.
It's just that this time, the people who died were not Turks, but the soldiers of Chenguo.
The Turks, who had never been able to resist anything, suddenly changed and attacked them from many sources, and robbed them of food and grass, which was the worst thing.
Qin Shao paced in the barracks, looking at the wounded soldiers' stumps and broken arms, his mouth tightly pursed into a slit.
The most important fortified area is in his rear, so this must not be lost again, this is a place that has been bought for the lives of soldiers.
"We must strengthen vigilance tonight, and we must not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it, and then report to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court will send more grain and grass over." Qin Shao ordered to go down.
The news of the outside of the fortress immediately spread to the capital, Qin Shao lost a battle, many people died, and the sage immediately allocated 300,000 grains and grass without saying a word.
It's just that as soon as this incident came out, the people in the entire capital began to panic.
Qin Shao is a god-like existence in the Chenguo Kingdom, but now!
Zhao Zhizhou, who was in charge of escorting grain and grass, was in a frenzied hurry, hoping to rush to support.
I didn't want to be stopped when I crossed the mountain pass, but no one knew about it.
When Chu Jiao got the news, she said that Qin Shao was injured, and she immediately couldn't sit on the bench.
Chu Jiao drew the drawings carefully, looking at the battle between the two armies, her brows were furrowed tightly, she knew in her heart that the other party had obtained a fake defense map, so she didn't know where to sneak attack at all, so why did she suddenly understand everything.
When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Maybe it's just a coincidence?
When Chu Jiao didn't have this conclusion, she immediately got the news that Qin Shao had lost.
She had already lost two battles, she couldn't lose again, her hands were clenched tightly, she had to help him.
"Master Jiao, according to reliable sources, the grain and grass on the master's side are in short supply, plus the weather is hot, and the water source is very scarce, I thought that I would be able to come back after this victory, but I didn't expect the grain and grass to be lost, and now I am like an ant on a hot pot." Xiuying said.
"Does the saint know about this? If there is no matter of grain and grass, why didn't the saints send more people to escort the grain and grass there? Chu Jiao asked.
Xiu Ying lowered his head, this matter has not yet been investigated.
Chu Jiao was anxious at night, this matter must not be postponed, she was thinking about it, when there was a slight noise outside the window, and she immediately became alert.
"Who?"
As soon as her words fell, a person stood firmly in front of her.
I saw Yao Chi wearing a thin green shirt embroidered with a python on it, a purple crown with black hair, clear eyes, a smile on his face, and a jade fan in his hand, looking like a decent person.
If he didn't know what kind of virtue he was, Chu Jiao might have thought that he was a good person.
"What are you going to do?" Chu Jiao said in an unkind tone.
Yao Chi's expression was clear, and he gently shook the fan to fan Chu Jiao: "I'm afraid that you are angry now, so I specially came to extinguish the fire for you." He said.
Chu Jiao looked at him like this, and only felt disgusted.
"If you don't leave, I'll call someone." She said.
I didn't want Yao Chi to push her to the wall and encircled her body.
"What do you think, what do I want now, is there anyone else who can stop it?"
There was aggression in his voice, and he leaned close.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Chu Jiao stared at him tightly, full of vigilance.
Yao Chi's slender fingers caressed her cheeks, watching her guard against him like a hedgehog, his brows furrowed slightly, but the words he said were still gentle and steady: "Don't look at me with such eyes, you will know in the future that I am the one who loves you the most." ”
Chu Jiao's goosebumps all over her body rose when she was touched by him, and his gentle words only made her feel suffocated.
"Follow me, I don't mind if your body has been given to him, I will only spoil you in the future, I will give you a chance to consider." With that, he withdrew.
This time, he didn't want to force her, he didn't want to touch her, if in the end it couldn't be as natural as in the previous life, he would be using it at that time, and it would not be too late, anyway, she would never be able to run.
However, Chu Jiao was not immersed in Yao Chi's words, but was thinking of a way.
The next day, Chu Jiao quietly sold the property in the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Qin Palace, and wrote a letter and sent it to her grandfather's home.
The prime minister's family has strong financial resources, not to mention how magnificent the Qin Wangfu is, the property of the two families is combined, she quickly exchanged the money for grain and grass, and the water source is in a water bag.
In order to hide people's eyes, she deliberately took the gold and silver out of the capital to do this.
The road was far away, Chu Jiao didn't dare to stop for a moment, and when she arrived in Wudu, she joined the Shangguan family who came together.
"This time, Shangguan's family brought 70,000 grains and grass, hoping to help King Qin." Shangguan Nan said.
Chu Jiao hurriedly bowed down, and her tone was full of gratitude: "Thank you grandfather, uncle, I am really grateful." ”
Shangguan Nan said that he was sick and escaped the daily ascension, he hurriedly helped Chu Jiao up, and said: "Don't say such a life, if you hadn't come to save us at the beginning, I'm afraid our entire Shangguan family would have been defeated, and we could only do our best this time." ”
Without further ado, the two sides galloped away.
……
Qin Shao's front line was tight, and he was carefully studying tactics in the barracks.
On several occasions, the enemy was able to pinpoint the weakest point of defense, as if it had been foreseen.
This time, he deliberately set up an ambush in a weak place in the defense, and sure enough, the enemy fell into the ambush.
"Report !!"
The soldier rushed in and said, "Oh no! Although the enemy fell into our ambush, because the soldiers were really weak, they were killed if they could not resist! Our side has suffered heavy losses! ”
Qin Shao immediately stood up: "You must hold it!" So saying, he went with the soldiers to the battle.
The battlefield is a place where people kill without blinking, Qin Shao is wearing armor and holding a long sword, one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, countless heads fall to the ground, and blood gushes out.
Stunned to fight a bloody way, the soldiers retreated in front, and he broke off.
But even if it is a god-like existence, it is a person, flesh and blood, killing one after another, his body is already covered with wounds, and his actions have become sluggish because of this.
The movement of the sword was a little slower, and a deep cut was made in the arm, and the man was also pierced through the throat.
Gradually, there were more and more injuries on his body, and his physical strength was also exhausted, he was half-kneeling on the ground, his eyes were full of blood-red color, his breath was weak, his body, and face, all were blood, and he himself couldn't tell whether it was the enemy's or his own blood.
I'm afraid I can't hold on.
He thought to himself.
It's just that there is still one person in his heart who can't let go.
The faith was still there, and he was going back to see her.
When the Turks saw Qin Shao kneeling on the ground, they rushed over like crazy, and Qin Shao also stood up and prepared to fight.
The Turkic man's rampant smile reflected in Qin Shao's eyes, and he pursed his dry lips.
The Turks all held big knives in their hands, but before the knives could be slashed at Qin Shao's body, Qin Shao felt a sharp arrow pierce into the man's heart.
Then the second, the third, and the fourth, and one by one the Turks who were running towards him fell to the ground, and even before they died, their eyes wide open, not understanding how they had died.
Qin Shao turned around, only to see Chu Jiao sitting firmly on the horse, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and he slowly smiled.
Although Chen Guo suffered a lot of losses this time, the Turks could no longer continue to attack, because the front was the best place to defend, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Turks quietly retreated to prepare for the next attack.
Qin Shao suffered multiple wounds on his body, and Chu Jiao insisted on giving him medicine.
She had been mentally prepared before she came, so she brought a lot of healing elixirs.
But when she really saw the wounds on Qin Shao's body, she still gasped.
The wound on the arm can almost see the white bones, which shows the ruthlessness of the person holding the knife, if this knife is cut on the body, I am afraid that my life will be gone.
Qin Shao was closing his eyes, motionless and waiting for her to deal with the wound on his arm, not wanting a burst of warmth to drip on his arm, he opened his eyes, but saw Chu Jiao don't turn his head.
The two were silent for a while, and Qin Shao closed his eyes again.
In this case, he didn't know how to comfort her, there were more such things on the battlefield.
It's just, just fighting for a breath.
After everything was dealt with, Chu Jiao saw that blood was oozing out of his abdomen, and she hurriedly said, "Why don't you hurry up and take off your clothes here?" ”
