Still reluctant, Yu Zhao sent each other along the palace wall, but there was an end after all, and he only watched the team disappear into the night, and then returned against the breeze. The gauze clothes fluttered in the wind, as if the residual warmth in his arms had not yet dissipated, Yu Zhao stood in the attic for a long time without fear of the cool breeze, and finally sighed as if there was nothing, drifting away with the wind.

From this day on, Emperor Yuan never went out of the dormitory, and the excerpts sent from Beijing every day, and the war reports sent from the front line, bound him in the study, and on the battlefield, both the enemy and the enemy, all had their own sons to participate in the war. And some sorrow was added, and his hair was scorched more and more gray.

The palace is not as complicated as the affairs in the palace, and Emperor Yuan ordered that all matters except government affairs should not be disturbed. Yu Zhao is free every day, but he is still not happy, in addition to taking care of Chu Ziyi, he is worried about the person who went to the battlefield. The bottle that Chu Zikai bought, Zhuo Yao changed one handful after another, but Yu Zhao had no intention of rewarding it, and his appetite was greatly reduced. Getting thinner and thinner, Zhuo Yao was worried in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

These days, Yu Zhao likes to stand at the railing of the building, and when the person who delivers the war report comes, he is afraid that the person will break in with a crying face. Fortunately, Chu Zikai's ability is extraordinary, and he is also handy in leading the troops for the first time, all the way deep, and the news of no defeat came.

After a while, reinforcements from Jingzhou arrived, and there were two brothers and sisters, Wenyuan and Wenluo. Emperor Yuan did not dare to relax his vigilance, and immediately ordered all the soldiers to be assigned to the major battlefields of Burning Xia, and Wen Yuan was carried by Emperor Yuan Chu Zikai all the way, so he was naturally assigned to the main army to support, and only a team of soldiers and horses was left to prepare to escort back to Beijing.

Wen Luo stayed, and while waiting to return to Beijing for a break, he came to talk to Yu Zhao every day. It allowed her to find an opportunity to relax her heart, which had been hanging.

"My brother said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in command of the expedition this time, and General Wen was very dissatisfied." As soon as she came, she loved to talk to Yu Zhao about the reaction of the ministers when the war was introduced into the army. "And Niangniang's father also disagrees."

You can guess that Yu Cheng is now only thinking about how to make Chu Zikai lose power, so that he can use Chu Ziyi beside Yu Zhao to climb the identity of the emperor's relatives. Wen Jiang and others were also afraid that after Chu Zikai's battle, the military power would be in his hands, and it would become more and more difficult to shake his status as a prince. It can be seen that Chu Zikai this time, in addition to dealing with the threat of the enemy country, the hidden arrows from within Great Chu are also impossible to prevent.

I heard Wen Luo say again: "But the battle of Burning Summer is too strange, the defeat is only a year, and instead of keeping the light and obscure, but doing everything to repeat it, this is a taboo for soldiers, and it is really not a wise move."

It's not a smart move, and others can easily see it, but it certainly won't be that simple. Yu Zhao worried: "The burning summer has existed for many years, and the small countries around Dachu are all rivers and mountains with several rounds of surnames, and this country likes to find trouble and provoke. But after so many years, he still survived safely, and he must have some ability. ”

Wen Luo replied: "I don't have the ability to burn Xia in other ways, but the insidious trick of fighting a war is the first. My brother and I proposed a plan to attack the enemy's rear, which was also a plan they had made many years ago, when the war between Zephan and Burning Xia began. General Wen Lao was disdainful at first, saying that this was a method of indiscriminate use of the three subordinates, which was not in the style of the Great Chu Heavenly Dynasty. ”

It's too pedantic, and I don't understand the truth that soldiers don't get tired of deceit, and the battlefield is a place where people shed blood every day, what's the use of taking care of demeanor? It is said that the veteran is invincible, and Wen Jiang really gets older and more confused. Yu Zhao said: "So this battle will not be so simple, we can easily realize their disadvantages in Dachu, and Burning Xia has always been cunning, perhaps it is a false impression that is deliberately created for us......"

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, at this moment, Chu Zikai's main army had penetrated deep into the territory of Burning Xia, if there was really a conspiracy, what would it be. In addition, I haven't heard that the Burning Xia Sect is out of the army, so he must be kept and waiting for the opportunity to play a greater role.

Seeing Yu Zhao's worried look, Wen Luo said: "My brother has been ordered to lead the army to support the main army of His Royal Highness the Prince, and I think that the generals should also converge at these times." And although the rest of the armies are progressing slowly, they are also gradually attacking the small cities of Burning Xia. ”

Yu Zhao nodded, hiding the worry in his eyes, still inexplicably panicked in his heart.

In order to ensure the strength of the army, Emperor Yuan only left a small group of men and horses for escort back to Beijing, and some of his Chinese Luo people accounted for it, and there were soldiers and horses sent by General Zhenguo as the main force. The escorts on this trip are all trusted people, and they are not too worried about the inappropriateness of the way back.

The family of General Zhenguo has made military achievements since the beginning of the Great Chu Dynasty, and has been guarding the frontier territory for Great Chu since then, and has been loyal. It is also the mother family of the Empress Dowager, and it is the main military force that Emperor Yuan relied on to ascend to the throne. Among the several veterans who now hold military power, he is the only one who does not change his original intention, only obeys the orders of Emperor Yuan, and the soldiers and horses he leads only support the successor recognized by Emperor Yuan, so he can be regarded as a general trusted by Chu Zikai. is also regarded as Chu Zikai's mentor who leads the army, and he is discerning and knowledgeable, and he is upright and does not win the respect of others. Wen Yuan and Ying Huayi have all been appreciated and supported by him, and they were moved by his loyalty, and their loyalty was only assisted by Chu Zikai in this battle.

Ling Feng, the deputy general sent to escort Emperor Yuan back to Beijing, was also a confidant of General Zhenguo, and planned not to return to the battlefield after entering Beijing, so the territory of Jingzhou was also turbulent. Because of Chu Zikai's assumption of command, Yu Cheng and Wen Jiang jointly wrote against it, and after being refuted, they were unwilling, and Yu Cheng wanted to promote someone from his own power to fill the position of the Yun family's squire that day.

If the military power is obtained by the wolf ambition, the next one will come out. Emperor Yuan naturally refused, Ling Feng had made great achievements, if he could go back and be the one to fill the position, he would be able to suppress Yu Cheng's thoughts.

Because of this change, Wen Luo was actually promoted to a petty official, although the power was small, but his daughter won the position of a military general. It's much better than those fateful positions that can only be seen on the surface. He became more and more diligent, carefully studied the art of war, practiced martial arts, and prepared to return to the battlefield immediately after escorting Emperor Yuan back to Beijing.

has nothing to do, Yu Zhao also remembers the things on the front line, and reads the military book with Wen Luo on weekdays. The information discussed with the ministers in the Yuan Emperor's palace was confidential, and he didn't know anything about it. I only know that all the good news is good, but I still have a heart, I can't be happy, it seems that it is too smooth.

Sure enough, when Emperor Yuan and his party were preparing to leave for Beijing, the main army was still receiving good news, but the Chu soldiers located in various small battlefields began to retreat. And very quickly, several strongholds were missed, and news spread that among the towns captured by the Chu army, there were many scattered troops disguised as ordinary people. Cooperate with the enemy army inside and outside, and kill the defenders of the city without leaving a piece of armor.

Yu Zhao couldn't get specific information, Wen Luo knew something, and half-guessed the situation on the entire battlefield. Use a wooden stick to draw the current situation at the martial arts field for Yu Zhao to see.

The more I looked, the more I felt that something was wrong, the main army was going very smoothly, and the edge was gradually retreating, and it was not to be afraid of all small places. But after careful analysis, his heart was half cold, and Yu Zhao raised his head in shock and said to Wen Luo: "Burning Xia has the intention of outflanking the main army of Great Chu."
