I couldn't wake up in a daze, and when I opened my eyes again, I was already on the horse, and Ye Geqi's horse was walking in front, leading Yu Zhao's horse forward and walking steadily. His head was still a little drowsy, but he still remembered that time was running out, and straightened up and pulled the reins. "We've got to go faster......"

Hearing that she was awake, Ye Geqi turned his head and said, "You are very sick, if you walk too fast, you can't stand it." ”

"It's okay," Yu Zhao still insisted, looked at the vast desert, and asked him, "How long will it take until you arrive?" ”

Jaeg Qi said: "Two days or so......"

"It's too late to ......" Yu Zhao worried, the time given by the military advisor is seven days, and Yu Zhao must control the itinerary to five days. Secretly gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Your Royal Highness, if you are walking in the dark, can you identify the direction?"

Ye Geqi looked at her in surprise: "Your body can't stand it, and you can't bear to travel during the day, let alone ...... day and night."

Yu Zhao said stubbornly: "I'm fine, I can hold on." You just said that you could make out the direction......"

Seeing her so insisting, Ye Geqi had no choice but to say: "Can be can, but if we meet a wild beast, we will not have the upper hand in the dark night."

Yu Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, I have a way to ......"

As he spoke, he transferred all the contents of the empty horses to the two horses on which he was riding, and then held the dagger tightly without saying a word. At night, Yu Zhao smeared the spices that had put the snake all over his body, for fear that he would be entangled by the thing as he walked, and looked around vigilantly with a torch. Ye Geqi looked around to identify the road, even at night, he took Yu Zhao to avoid several quicksands, Yu Zhao secretly rejoiced in his heart, without him as a guide, this trip would definitely not be so smooth.

After a while, it was so dark that they couldn't see their fingers, and a few roars sounded, and the two of them were instantly vigilant. Ye Geqi picked up the bow and arrow to defend himself, Yu Zhao said: "You don't have to fight it, just look for the direction and flee ......"

In the darkness, a few eyes stared at the two people with torches on this side, and suddenly heard the neighing of horses, and Jegeqi looked back. Seeing that Yu Zhao had already inserted the dagger into the neck of one of the horses, he quickly pulled it out. The horse immediately fell down and did not move, and Yu Zhao urged loudly: "Hurry up and ...... away"

Hearing this, Jeegi immediately galloped in the confirmed direction with the remaining horses. Looking back, the beasts were indeed surrounding the injured horse, and two were chasing, Yu Zhao raised his knife and left another one. Immediately, he also attracted the two who caught up. The two of them ran wildly all the way, and after a long time, the clouds on the horizon gradually brightened before they stopped. Yu Zhao only felt more and more uncomfortable, and his lips were bloodless and gritted his teeth to support him. Climbing over a sand dune and seeing the junction of the desert and the grassland in the distance, I felt that the scene in front of me was too unreal.

Hope is right in front of me, and I don't consciously want to run there. Suddenly, he was pulled off his horse and leaned down by Jegeqi, and the remaining three horses were also driven behind and hidden. Yu Zhao forced himself to look soberly, and sure enough, there was a small team of people stationed there. Burning Xia is not a fool, even if it is an impossible road, he knows to leave a guarantee.

This is tricky, Yu Zhao looked at it from afar, not knowing what to do. Hearing Ye Geqi turn his head and say, "I'll go and lead them away, and it's good for you to go to the Great Chu military camp yourself." ”

Yu Zhao shook his head again and again: "There are many of them, and it is too dangerous for you to be alone......

"Don't be afraid," Ye Geqi interrupted her and picked up Yu Zhao's dagger, "You give me this, and the rest of the things are left here, I will lead them around and into the desert, they don't have the courage to follow."

Without waiting for Yu Zhao to react, Ye Geqi went down and rode a horse, and said to Yu Zhao again: "You have always worn a mask, can you let me see what you look like, and I will be able to recognize you when we meet in the future."

His willingness to help himself in this way is a great blessing. Yu Zhao naturally would not refuse this request. So he took the mask off. "Thank you, Second Prince, after the Great Chu War, this favor will be reciprocated."

Ye Geqi nodded with a smile and praised: "You are so good-looking...... After speaking, he rode towards the pasture.

Ignoring what he said, Yu Zhao crouched down and looked at the situation with all his attention, and sure enough, the team of soldiers and horses saw someone rushing out of the desert, and hurriedly chased with all their might. When the figure was gone, Yu Zhao immediately got on the horse, put on a mask, picked up the secret letter of the formation map, and rushed forward at full speed with his whip.

There was a solemn and tense state in the main tent of the barracks, and the strategies of the soldiers had Achilles' heels. Chu Zikai frowned, looking at the speculative situation and thinking about a perfect plan.

Wen Yuan said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must make a decision within three days, and the army led by Qi Xing is eyeing the army, waiting for the army to be wiped out when the grain and grass are exhausted. ”

Chu Zikai shook his head: "They should have done it a long time ago, as if they were afraid of something." The king guessed that the reinforcements should have been assembled in the border city, and if the army fought against Qi Xing, the enemy army outflanking the rear road would come forward to help, and the reinforcements of Da Chu would immediately attack. Burning Xia also didn't dare to fight against Da Chu with a gambling mentality. ”

Another veteran said: "So what they are waiting for is for our own military spirit to disperse......

The news has not been transmitted for many days, and Chu Zikai does not know what Emperor Yuan's plans are, so he should also speculate that the materials in the army are only enough to support him for three days. If so, the great battle will take place in these two days. Chu Zikai immediately ordered: "Rectify the morale of the army, prepare for battle, and we will fight back to meet our father." ”

There is no clear information, Chu Zikai does have gambling elements, and there are immediately objections from the generals who do not agree. Ying Huayi analyzed: "His Royal Highness the Prince's decision is the best way to win, if you rashly attack the direction where Qi Xing is, the enemy troops in the rear will quickly move towards us, and when the reinforcements chase over, they will definitely have suffered heavy damage." And our side attacked back, facing the enemy army in the rear head-on, and the road to the convergence of reinforcements and the main army was greatly shortened, and by the time the army arrived in unison, the enemy forces in the rear had been largely disintegrated. ”

Some people disdainfully said: "It's ...... on paper"

Some people were worried: "If you don't know the other, how can you talk about the odds...... If not, how can this rod be beaten......"

In the final analysis, there is no definite information coming in, and each general has his own ideas. It is the most terrible thing to cause the army's unevenness, Chu Zikai immediately said: "If this king makes a mistake in his calculation, this king will bear the consequences of losing the battle." If the generals want to use their own good policies, they only need to make a life and death situation, and the consequences will be borne by themselves. ”

No one spoke, they didn't know the details of this battle, they all wanted to make meritorious contributions, but they didn't want to take risks. Wen Yuan stepped forward and arched his hand: "The minister listens to the command of His Royal Highness the Prince......

Some of the uncertain generals were obedient, but only those veterans insisted on their opinions, and did not agree or refuse to protest awkwardly. The deliberations failed to reach a consensus.

The breeze on the grassland was light, Chu Zikai came out of the camp, and saw that the cohesion of the soldiers was not as good as day by day, thinking about whether to order the destruction of the cauldron and let it go. The bell on the red thread in his hand rang softly in the wind, making him determined, and turned to go to the camp to draft military orders. Suddenly, the soldiers at the lookout tower reported loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that there is a person who is riding a horse to this side!" ”

Chu Zikai's heart moved, and he hurriedly inquired about the situation, and the man said: "That horse is a unique horse of the Western Fan Kingdom, but it is the banner of Great Chu." ”

Hearing this, he couldn't hold back any longer, Chu Zikai rushed to the lookout, and sure enough, he saw a horse galloping in the distance. When they were about to reach the entrance of the camp, the soldiers raised their arrows to take precautions, and Yu Zhao raised the token of the Son of Heaven in his hand. "Chen Wenluo, on the orders of His Majesty, send a secret letter and a formation map."
