"Your Highness, after crossing the mountain in front of you, you will reach the southwest border, but you still have to keep going?"

Xiao Yu'an took the map, his fingers swiped all the way on it, and finally pointed to the southwest hinterland, this month's journey smoothed his sharp angles, and the feeling of being dusty and elegant in the past disappeared completely, he frowned, "How long will it take?" ”

Qi Luo thought for a while, "I rushed overnight, and I could get there before dawn, but ......"

Even if he didn't say that Xiao Yu'an knew that along the way, they were all in a hurry, and they didn't stop to rest, even the soldiers with such tenacity couldn't hold on, but the prince's side couldn't wait, along the way, the riots became more and more frequent, and someone directly stopped their army, if he guessed correctly, something big was going to happen on the prince's side, he panicked, but he couldn't ignore those soldiers.

Hesitating, "Just rest here in place, set off as soon as dawn, the cavalry will follow me, and you will follow with the infantry." “

Only this way, the closer he got to the southwest, the more he had a bad premonition, and this sense of panic had been there since he began to go south, accompanied by a sense of powerlessness.

Qi Luo saw that his nerves had been tense, and he took out the wine jug that Qi handed him when he left, he was going to have a round with the troops tomorrow, Xiao Yu'an didn't have the heart to drink now, so he refused directly, or Qi Luo was stubborn, and the wine jug was stuffed into his hand and ran.

Xiao Yu'an looked at the wine jug in his hand, remembered what Seventeen said, after all, he couldn't hold back, looked around, and found that everyone had fallen to the ground quietly, falling asleep together, thinking that he was really tired.

He looked up, jumped up the tree in two steps, turned around, leaned on the trunk, snapped his thumb, and with a soft sound, the cork fell in response, and the aroma of wine overflowed.

Xiao Yu'an leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, one leg was bent, and the other was on his knee, looking at the moon that was still complete, drinking without a match, the wine was too strong, not like what he drank on weekdays, it was silky and sweet in the throat, this wine was hot and spicy in the mouth, and he felt that his whole heart was burning when he drank it, compared to the sake of the nobles, this wine was indeed more appropriate at such a time.

If it weren't for the wrong timing, the wine, the full moon, the breeze, the rivers and mountains, and the young man, it would have been pleasant, but the timing was wrong, Xiao Yu'an couldn't calm down and enjoy the scenery he had been yearning for before.

Dawn has just shown a little morning light, Xiao Yu'an has already begun to integrate the cavalry to continue to move forward, perhaps resting for half the night, or maybe because they are about to arrive in the southwest, everyone is very excited, sweeping away the tiredness of the recent days, the horses are running in the morning light that is not bright, and the wind and dust raised have become passers-by waiting for them to go home.

The liquor burned himself, Xiao Yu'an rode a horse and ran, constantly looking forward to it, faster, faster, if it could be faster at that time, maybe things would be different later.

But when he arrived in the southwest, everything was different in front of him.

"Your Highness, do you have to go, we are staying here, and the enemy army has no way to take us, or it is not impossible to wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Xiao Yuanjun knew in his heart that the reinforcements would arrive soon, and after hearing the news, they would arrive tonight at the latest, even if they waited for them, it was not unavoidable, but the people couldn't wait, and he couldn't wait.

The enemy army is difficult to overcome, trying to set fire to the city and burning the mountain, the southwest because of the unique geographical location and human climate, is the hometown of natural medicinal materials, the land is their most valuable wealth, nearly half of the medicinal materials of Dayan are produced from the southwest, once burned, the wealth of God's reward, the foundation that the ancestors have guarded for thousands of years will be destroyed, and at that time, where will the people of the southwest go, where will his conscience be settled, he can't watch all this happen, only open the city gate, take the initiative to fight, in order to alleviate the immediate death, As long as the reinforcements come and Xiao Yu'an comes, it will be good, and everything will be over.

His lieutenant general was bitter and failed to persuade him to retreat in the slightest, Xiao Yuanjun had made up his mind, "I have already decided, let's prepare for war." ”

"Your Highness, you are going to die." The deputy general was originally a general in the southwest, and was later assigned to Xiao Yuanjun, he was originally jealous of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at most, jealous of his identity, and did not put him in his heart, but after getting along for these two months, jealousy turned into awe, and he was in awe of His Royal Highness the Prince, who was a genius in leading the troops, brave and strategic, and had no slightest shelf, if it weren't for him, they wouldn't even be able to hold on for these two months.

Once the war starts, if the reinforcements can't arrive in time, they will be sent to death, when a ghost for the dead to open the way for the reinforcements, it's nothing if he dies, and it's nothing if the thousands of soldiers behind him die, but if the emperor still has a son, even if Xiao Yuanjun wants to go, he won't stop it, because this matter is currently the best way, but he is the only prince, and Dayan's country has to be handed over to him, anyone here can die, but he can't, at this moment, he can't care about any monarch and courtesy, Pointing to the enemy troops gathered densely in the distance, "Look at how many enemy soldiers there are, and then look at us, the dead are dead, the wounded are wounded, even if you think about the people of the world, Dayan still needs you!" ”

Because of the suddenness of the battle, His Majesty did not send many men and horses to Xiao Yuanjun, but he could barely confront the enemy, and the enemy army had a defense map like a tiger with wings, and then sent people to support, and the main force attacked the third state.

Xiao Yuanjun has been indifferent, no matter how the deputy general persuaded him, he was unmoved, until this moment, he raised his eyes to look at him, his gaze was unprecedentedly firm, he said: "Dayan has never needed me at this moment!" ”

He spoke firmly, undoubtedly, even if the adjutant general had seen how decisive he was on the battlefield, how he was at ease when leading his troops, and how proud he was when he drank with them, he had never seen him like this.

His back can afford to go down to the world, his heart can tolerate all the dangers in the world, and the jade crown on his head is worthy of the people of the world to call him His Royal Highness.

Since Xiao Yuanjun was born, Dayan has never had this moment now, he needs him so much, this is what he needs to face and will definitely face, but if he is a little selfish, or a little rebellious, he can wait for the reinforcements to arrive before acting, but he can't, every person of Dayan is the reason why he can't give up, every inch of Dayan's land is the belief he adheres to, he has the best expectations in the world, and naturally suffers all the difficulties in the world.

He always knew that the world treated him poorly, so he never treated himself badly.

Reloaded, the golden armor symbolizes glory, and he regards it as his home, his treasure.
