When the group set off in the middle of the night, they almost went straight to the east, and when the sky was about to dawn, the sentinel saw a team of three hard spies from a distance, and Zhou E hurriedly ordered the team to turn around and go south.

They ran all the way for a day and a night, and it was not until the second half of the night that they found a suitable place, and the exhausted people dismounted and hurriedly lay down to rest.

An Xiaorui slept for more than an hour, then got up quietly, took a few people, and looked around.

Zhou E fell asleep deeply, and the peach was condensed in Li Ran's upper wind, half asleep.

Li Ran curled up in a ball and slept deeply.

But after sleeping for two hours, Li Ran woke up.

In the past, when she was on a mission, no matter how tired she was, she could only sleep for two to four hours at a time, but now she didn't need her to be vigilant, and she slept peacefully for two hours.

"Are you awake?" Zhou E leaned in front of Li Ran's face.

"Hmm." Li Ran immediately sat up, "What's wrong?" ”

"Say it." Zhou E took a step back, sat on the ground, and motioned to An Xiaorui, who was two or three steps away from her.

An Xiaorui was sweating and covered in mud, but his expression was very peaceful, and he took a step forward and sat opposite Li Ran.

"We seem to be on the battlefield."

Li Ran sat up straight all of a sudden.

An Xiaorui touched a handful of stones and withered branches on the ground, and put them on the ground as he spoke.

"We are here, a mile and a half away from us, here, half an hour ago, this piece, there were at least a thousand elite cavalry, the horse's hooves wrapped in cotton, came to ambush."

By the moonlight, Li Ran looked at the dead branches and stones on the ground and listened very attentively.

"I just discussed it with General Zhou.

The ambush soldiers are buried here, and there are at least a thousand cavalry, and the number of people to ambush must be even more. First, the war is very big.

Second, you see, this is Licheng, Qi Yi is here, this is Jin County, Dashuai's handsome tent should be in the area of Jin County, that is, Dashuai is here.

This is a Jiyuan River.

I have the same opinion as General Zhou, what they want to ambush should be the flanks, in addition to here, there should be an ambush on this side, so as to echo each other, so that they will not be alone, and the lethality will be greater.

If this is the case, this battle should be a battle between us and Shudi, and I am afraid that the elites of the northern tribes going south will be used to attack the flanks on this side. ”

"Does the prince know about these?" Li Ran looked at Zhou E from An Xiaorui.

"The commander must know about Shu contacting the northern tribes and the northern tribes going south, but it is difficult to know the details of where the ambush is located.

If the commander could know everything, then this battle would be too easy to fight. ”

An Xiaorui smiled bitterly.

Li Ran looked at Zhou E.

Zhou E spread her hands, "Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, we are behind them, if we are in front of them, it will be death and death, no matter how death."

Now, as long as we stay calm, we are at least fifty percent sure that we can dodge it.

The fifty percent, one is that they were defeated too quickly, and they retreated before they rushed out, we were a little close to them, and we couldn't avoid it, so we had to meet the chaotic army, but the defeated army has never been in love with war, and it was easy to avoid the past.

Also, there is an ambush in the back, and we are caught in the middle...... But this is definitely impossible, Xiao Wu has seen it after a lap. ”

"You fought with Xie Ze, I'm asking you, do you think he can think of this ambush?"

Li Ran asked in a low voice.

"That's what you asked."

Zhou E snorted.

"Didn't Xiao Wu say just now, it's good to know that there is such a strange army, how can you know everything? Even if the enemy is like a god, there is no such god.

Don't worry about him, this battle is definitely for us to win, that is, it is easier to win and more difficult to win. ”

"Between this one is easier and more difficult, how many more people will die?"

Zhou E, who asked Li Ran, snorted.

"What you are saying is that many people will die, but there is a difference between the high and low levels of human life.

Back then, when we were still thieves, a soldier like them was worth five hundred taels of silver for a head, and a head like me was worth five hundred taels of silver.

People are different from people, and it can't be helped. ”

"Back then, when there was a great khan in the north, the head of the An family was cheapest for 10,000 silver, and the most expensive was given to a one-word king."

An Xiaorui smiled and answered.

Tao Nong, who was squatting next to him and listening, burst out laughing, and patted Zhou E while laughing.

Zhou E glared at Tao Nong, "What are you laughing at?" Didn't he mean what he said to me? ”

Li Ranwan'er and An Xiaorui also laughed, and while laughing, they arched their hands at Zhou E.

"On the battlefield, the surprise is not easy and the insight is very different, not only many people die, but it may have a great impact on the length of the entire war."

An Xiaorui looked at Li Ran and continued.

Zhou E squinted at An Xiaorui.

"Can you warn you?" Li Ran looked at An Xiaorui and asked.

"That's looking for death!" Zhou E simply commented directly.

"It's like looking for death, just rush up.

They are ambushed here, that is, the distance of a charge, we are dozens of people, this rush, I can see it over there. ”

An Xiaorui said with a smile.

"Your An family is all begging to die in battle, the more heroic the death, the better, but she is not surnamed An, even if her surname is An, she is married now, she has to be surnamed Xie first and then talk about the word An!"

Zhou E's saliva sprayed An Xiaorui's face.

"I told you just now, this person is different from the noble. Don't always think about how many more people will die, how can there be no dead in war? If you don't die in this battle, you will die in the next battle, and if you don't die today, you will die tomorrow. Even if there is no war, can that person die less? Sick and sick to death, hungry to death without enough food, drowning in floods, choking to death from eating gnocchi, this is something you can manage? ”

Zhou E turned her head and sprayed Li Ran's face again.

"It's the difference between high and low, and now I just want to save my life, and this noble word is not valuable. To enjoy the dignity, but also to bear the dignity. ”

Li Ran's voice was very low.

"When I used to be at home, my aunt used to say the same."

An Xiaorui smiled.

Zhou E snorted and didn't speak.

"Is this going to be a fight?" Momono's tone was pleasant, "It's the happiest to fight in death." ”

"There are too few of us, if we really want to fight, we have to think carefully about how to fight."

Zhou E said as she picked up a handful of pebbles.

"Can you beat the banner of the An family?"

Li Ran looked at An Xiaorui.

"Show the banner of settling down, you can still bluff, or ......"

Zhou E sighed and glanced at An Xiaorui.

"I hope your big brother and they've arrived."

"I think the eldest brother should have arrived, but I don't know where the ambush is, let's stir it up, at least let the ambush soldiers in front of them mess up, they are in chaos, whether it is the eldest brother or the big handsome, they will definitely be able to leave them all, thousands of horses, a lot of stalls!"

Ahn Hyo-rui rubbed his fingers, looking excited.

Zhou E leaned at him and snorted.

"Come here and discuss."

Zhou E called Wang Cui and others, and called a few veterans to come over to discuss how to make a noise.

Li Ran sat next to her, listening intently to the discussion of a group of people, she hadn't even seen the war here, and she didn't have the right to speak.

An Xiaorui looked relaxed and happy, Zhou E was calm, Tao Nong didn't speak, stretched his neck to listen with relish, Wang Cui listened to the discussion, while holding the bucket of arrows, took out a branch, touched it again and then put it back, Shen Mai squatted next to Wang Cui, Wang Cui made a suggestion, she just said a few words where it didn't work, very tacit understanding.

The rest of the dozen or so veterans, you and I say one sentence at a time, as if they are giving ideas and strategies to their comrades who are going to the ring.

Li Ran looked slightly distracted.

Back then, her team was like this, no matter how difficult the task was, everyone was like this, as if they were not going to kill and die, but just to play a game, or friendship first and second competition.

On the way there, there was talk and laughter, but when I came back, no one wanted to talk, and no one spoke.

“…… All right! It was agreed. ”

Zhou E clapped her hands.

"Go and talk to the big guys, if you have anything to explain, give it all to you, don't wait to die, if there is anything you can't let go, wander around and get in the way."

"To whom?" Momonon laughed, "Can anyone survive?" ”

Zhou E glanced at Tao Nong sideways and nodded to Li Ran, "Explain to her, if she can live one, she must live." ”

"Do you have any extra weapons?"

Li Ran didn't answer Zhou E's words, but asked with a smile.

"I like her momentum the most, from the first time I saw her, to this time, the authentic royal bearing."

Momonong smiled uncontrollably and gave Li Ran a thumbs up.

"Yes, short and long? Pick yourself. ”

Zhou E answered, Shen Mai came over with a few knives and guns, and Li Ran checked them one by one and picked a narrow knife.

"If I die......"

Li Ran held the knife and waved it twice, sat down again, looked at Zhou E, and as soon as the words began, he was interrupted by Zhou E waving his hand, "You don't have to confess, if you die, then no one will definitely be alive, and it will be in vain to confess."

I have something that I can only explain to you, that is, Sister-in-law Wu, if I die, you have to take her and her into your palace, and let her be a cook.

Nothing else.

I, a person, repaid my kindness and repaid my grievances before I went into battle, so I didn't close my eyes when I died.

Also, I'm sure I'll be waiting for you. ”

"The princess has a long life, you have to wait. I didn't have anything. ”

Seeing Li Ran looking at her, Momonong smiled and was about to wave his hand, but said again.

"There is one thing that I have to say first: don't collect my body!"

Li Ran's eyebrows raised.

"That's it, no matter where you die, what you die like, as long as you die, don't move, don't collect the body, don't care, don't erect a monument or something, don't care about anything!"

Momonong said quickly and crisply, stretched his head forward, looked at Li Ran and asked, "Do you know why?" ”

Li Ran hurriedly shook her head, she really didn't know why.

"Like you, a hundred years later, even if one or two idlers come to your grave and talk nonsense, pull a sour article and make up a poem or something, no matter how he dares to talk nonsense.

Like General Zhou, she is very angry, and people are afraid of her when she is a ghost.

Like me, there really is a grave and a monument or something, that's amazing.

It's disgusting to think of a bunch of ugly monsters talking nonsense and ugly things on my grave! ”

Li Ran snorted and burst out laughing, nodding his head while laughing.

"I don't have any big deals, it's just that you send someone to tell my daughter-in-law not to guard, marry when she meets a good one, and leave the child in the family."

An Xiaorui stretched out his head and confessed with a smile.

Li Ran looked at him and snorted.

"Princess. They asked me to come and tell you myself. ”

The old horse rubbed over with all his might.

"I thought, after I die, that name, don't put it in any martyr's record, can it, still hang it on the gatehouse of our palace?

I am in my forties and almost fifty years old this year, and I have been a soldier for 23 years...... That, when I went to the palace as a porter, I was the most comfortable and happy in this half a year, and for the first time I felt that I had a head and a face, and I was very decent.

If it's in the way of putting it in the concierge booklet, then ......"

"Good. If I live, I will hang your name in the porter, and there it will always be. ”

Li Ran's voice choked slightly.

The old horse thanked him and trotted all the way back.

A few more veterans came over and explained what was going on after their deaths.

Li Ran listened to them one by one and memorized them one by one, although she felt that it was in vain to remember.

In the end, when she is alone, how can she have a way to live?
