Chapter 259: Sneak Attack

"Eldest Sister......

In the empty and lonely hall, a dying old man with gray sideburns muttered, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The sound of violent coughing sounded, and the scalp was numb when I heard it, as if I was about to cough out my heart, liver, and lungs.

Gonggong Zheng walked over worriedly, and skillfully smoothed his back, and it took him a long time before he came to his senses, and his face was pale with a strange blush.

"Your Majesty, you better go and rest, don't be too tired......"

Qi Ke waved his hand, his face dark, "Old, even she is gone, my days ...... I'm just afraid that there are not many. ”

"Your Majesty, don't say that, you're just a little sick, just take a little rest, the eldest princess was injured on the battlefield back then, so she died young."

Gonggong Zheng has followed him since he was a child, and at that time he was just a humble ordinary prince, and he lived a trembling life, which was inferior to a favored palace person.

Although the two are called master and servant, their relationship is more solid than anyone else, and Qi Ke can say anything in front of him.

Zheng Gonggong is the same, only he can chat with His Majesty like an old man and say some common things.

"I want to send her ......"

Her passing marks the end of an era, and their generation is about to retire from the stage of history.

"At this time, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"

Gonggong Zheng did not dissuade him, but just made a suggestion very seriously.

"Indeed."

The timing of her death was so coincidental that one has to wonder if she died of natural causes.

"Eldest sister, she has always been ruthless, even to herself."

Qi Ke sighed softly,

When Gonggong Zheng saw that his eyes were confused, he knew that he was immersed in memories again.

silently stepped aside, looking at the silver threads on his sideburns, and his heart was full of emotion, Your Majesty...... He's really old.

Only the elderly often live in memories and have no interest in current events.

If that day really comes, he will not covet glory and wealth, and move to the royal tomb to keep a vigil for him. When you are alive, you will serve day and night, and when you are dead, you will be with you every day.

This...... I'm afraid it's the fate of his life.

……

After seven days in the desert, Suf, who was far away on the northwest border, finally waited for reinforcements from Blackwater City.

It's just that this reinforcement is not what they imagined, even if the number is small, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, staggering.

The number of horses and wagons brought was limited, and it was simply not possible to pull so much cargo.

Luo Tianjiao was dumbfounded, raised her whip and scolded angrily: "What do you mean by this in Blackwater City?" If you don't want this grain and grass, you can say it clearly, isn't this deliberately manipulating us? ”

A team member walked over weakly, "Captain Luo, it's not that our marshal deliberately provoked, but I really can't draw any manpower." ”

"What's going on?"

Su Fu listened to his words, and it seemed that the situation was not good, and immediately asked in a deep voice.

"There is a fight on the side of Blackwater City, there are heavy casualties, and all the nearby troops have been pressed up."

The two were taken aback, they were both people who knew the inside story of the war, and they did not expect this situation at all. I love Chinese.com

"How is that possible?"

If this is the case, then the situation of the war is gone in a direction that is out of control.

But now that Lin Yan is not here, who can preside over the overall situation, both of them have extremely heavy hearts.

"Who is the other side leading the soldiers, and what is the situation?"

"It's Xiong Liuqi, the guerrilla general of the Great Wei, they suddenly sneaked through five days ago, and we weren't prepared, so we lost three passes in a row."

This team surnamed Tong was also injured, but it was not very serious, probably because of this, they were transferred to help transport grain and grass.

"Guerrilla General Xiong Liuqi?"

Luo Tianjiao grew up at the border gate, yes

The military situation on the Great Wei side is very familiar, "He is the descendant of Emperor Wei, and he was not deployed on the side of Heishui City before, but on the second line. ”

In other words, in order to contain Tuoba Hong, Emperor Wei made personnel changes, and provoked the incident without his knowledge.

This is going to compete with him for territory.

No, how could Tuoba Hong watch this happen? Unless, like Lin Yan, he also played a golden cicada shell.

While all the attention is focused on the border, the capital is the emptiest time.

The situation is getting more and more chaotic, and I don't know what happened to Lin Yan's side now, and whether the operation was successful.

Su Fu's heart was like a thousand pounds of stone, and if it continued like this, if one of the two of them failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It's just that she is still in the desert, and even if she has the heart to help, she can't do anything. Let's transport these grains back to Blackwater City with peace of mind first.

There are enough people, but the key is that there is a shortage of horses and vehicles, so only some of them can be pulled by carts, and the rest is carried on their shoulders.

All the other horses were used to carry the camels for food, and even Suf's camels were contributed, preferring to walk with them.

Originally, they had to ride horses for three days, but under such difficult conditions, they had to walk for almost seven days before they reached their destination, Blackwater City

。

Although it is also an important town, the scale of Blackwater City is obviously far worse than that of Dragon City. But its majesty and precipitousness are even more than that.

Between the towering and undulating mountains, the tall city built by the mountains and rivers is quite a majestic momentum that has a husband and a wife who is not open.

Before entering the city, I felt the strange atmosphere, and the streets built of black boulders were full of chaotic scenes.

There were many scarred and tired soldiers sitting under the wall, and even if they saw food and grass coming in, they couldn't afford to look twice.

Several people are in a heavy mood, looking at this look, is it because they have lost the battle?

Pretending to be Lin Yan's guards, he had to hand over the grain and grass first, and due to the black storm in the desert, he lost almost a quarter of the grain and grass.

But this kind of natural and man-made disasters cannot be avoided, it is not a violation of military orders, and they still rushed to Blackwater City in time under difficult conditions, and it was not easy for the city to cut off food.

Luo Tianjiao was very worried, so she went to the city tower to take a look, and was worried when she came back.

"The situation is not very good, the soldiers defending the city have suffered serious casualties, and there is a shortage of arrows, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that sooner or later it will not be able to hold it."

"What's wrong? What is the number of Great Wei troops besieging the city over there? ”

"Yes, it's almost several times that of us, I heard that all this line has been attacked, and Great Wei secretly pressed all the troops on the second line."

Luo Tianjiao shook his head as he explained, which meant that it was impossible for Blackwater City to have reinforcements in a short period of time.

According to the regulations of the Great Liang, to mobilize the second-line soldiers, there must be a document from the Ministry of War or His Majesty's tiger talisman.

But the paperwork on both sides comes and goes, and it will take at least half a month, if there is really something, by that time, it is estimated that the daylily will also be cold.
