The civil war, which had been suspended for more than a year, was in full swing again, and compared with the previous one, this time the war basically spread in the north.

Murong Mian used the elite squad to dismantle Bai Changjian's men and horses, Bai Changjian gradually became a little passive, but he was passive again, he resolutely did not move the main force left behind by the Weishui, and the team guarded the dangerous pass, and Murong Mian was really patient with him for a while. In addition, this time the emperor personally backed Bai Changjian, and the grain and grass and military salaries always arrived on time, and this battle lasted for a month, and Bai Changjian was not defeated.

But he was obviously worried, and stood by the water, looking thoughtfully into the distance.

Guan Xiong walked over, "General, another batch of grain and grass has arrived, and in the end, the emperor personally asked, what do we want, what do we give, and no one dares to reach out and take it." ”

Bai Changjian sneered, "This battle is related to our own net worth and life, and we are all counting on us, who dares to fight the idea of grain and grass, once the King of Chu passes Weishui, their life will not be easy." ”

"Yes," Guan Xiong said: "I had heard of the cruelty of the King of Chu, but I didn't expect him to really deserve this reputation. To this day, the general still doesn't understand, what he always does in those small places, is it just to involve our troops, besides, we are not stupid, we can let him go if we see too much, the main force is still here, and his tricks don't work. ”

Bai Changjian said, "You go back and take a closer look at the map, and if you can connect the small places he has captured, you will find a problem." ”

Guan Xiong was taken aback, "What does the general mean that he wants to open up the mountain road over?" ”

"Maybe he has this plan, but he's stalling for time now," Guan Chang Jian pointed to the wide water in front of him, "and in winter, the weather will get colder and colder, and he is waiting for the river to freeze." ”

Guan Xiong was stunned for a moment and said, "That's not afraid, when it comes to water combat, they are powerful, but on land, our iron cavalry battalion is not vegetarian." ”

Bai Changjian shook his head, "As a last resort, let's not go that far." ”

Guan Xiong asked, "What then?" ”

"If you really want to freeze, sprinkle salt on the river, send people to hold the long grass, defend day and night, and pierce it when you see the ice, although the method is a little stupid, but it is very practical. Besides," he paused, "I plan to give it a try." ”

Guan Xiong was shocked, "How to try?" The king of Chu is not an ordinary person, how can he come out easily? ”

"Use myself as bait," Inspector Jane retracted her gaze, "and kill him while he's unprepared!" ”

"General, by all means," Guan Xiong said, "Let the last general go to ......"

"Your portion is not enough," Bai Changjian smiled, "I can't bear the child, I can't trap the wolf, this battle, I am not only for the emperor, but also for myself." ”

Guan Xiong knew that he hated his sister-in-law for dying in vain, so he kept fighting with Murong Mian in one breath. He made up his mind, but he was afraid that he would not change easily.

"General, let the Admiral come with you."

"The two of us can't leave at the same time," Bai Changjian said, "We haven't been in the Iron Cavalry Camp for a long time, the water here is deep, there are people who don't accept us, if they all leave, they just happen to make trouble, this kind of time infighting can't be, you have to defend for me." ”

Guan Xiong knew that what he said was right, the Iron Cavalry Battalion was originally the emperor's pro-planting force, it was the ace army, and the commander of the Iron Cavalry Battalion was called Yuan Xuan, and he had a very good relationship with Prime Minister Bai Cheng, but no matter how good the relationship was, once his own interests were threatened, the good would change its taste. One by one, the virtuous nephew screamed, and on the surface, he was a ball of harmony, and secretly hooked Bai Changjian. Fortunately, Bai Changjian was still shocked, and killed the chicken to show the monkey, setting an example and suppressing his arrogance.

When Bai Changjian stood by the river and looked at the other side, Murong Mian was also standing by the river, looked at the other bank, and asked Zhuge Qianyu who was standing on the side: "Mr. can observe the sky, I don't know how long it will take for it to snow?" ”

Zhuge Qianyu gathered the fox fur cloak on his body: "The old man has been watching for several days, and the clouds have not dispersed, and it will snow sooner or later, but I am afraid it will not fall in the past ten days." ”

"Ten days is too long," Murong Mian groaned for a moment and asked Han Tong, "Who will lead the attack on Meizhen tomorrow?" ”

"It's Liu Maoquan."

Murong Mian remembered this person, when he searched for Bai Qianfan for more than half a year to no avail, it was Liu Maoquan who sent her back, she came back, but he didn't protect her well, and now she is separated by yin and yang......

He looked at the river and didn't speak for a long time, Han Tong realized that he had said the wrong thing, and secretly annoyed, just say that it is not good to be a person, why do you have to mention Liu Maoquan, doesn't it arouse the sadness of the king of Chu.

"Lord Wang, it's cold outside, let's go in."

Murong Mian didn't say a word, nor did he move, Han Tong looked at Zhuge Qianyu, he was a wise man, and there must be a way to let the King of Chu go back to the camp account.

Zhuge Qianyu smiled indifferently and said to Murong Mian, "Lord Wang, yesterday's remnants of chess are still in the old man's camp account, and it is better to decide whether to win or lose, it is better to ......."

Murong Mian withdrew his gaze, glanced at Zhuge Qianyu, and said, "Okay, sir, please." ”

The prince returned to Sucheng and asked Zhuge Qianyu to stay and help him, but Zhuge Qianyu's main role here is to accompany him to play chess.

Zhuge Qianyu is a superb chess player, and playing chess with a master is a pleasure, which allows him to eliminate distractions and concentrate on it. Halfway through the game, Ning Jiu hurriedly walked in and whispered in his ear.

Murong Mian held the chess pieces between his fingers, his eyelids raised, and two rays of light burst out, and Zhuge Qianyu, who was sitting opposite, had a heartbeat for no reason, saw him get up, and said, "This king has made a move in advance, and this game of chess will be played with Mr. again another day." ”

Zhuge Qianyu hurriedly got up and gave him his hand and sent him out, "The prince is busy with business, and when he is free, the old man will accompany the prince to play chess." ”

Murong Mian strode back to his camp and asked Ning Jiu, "Is the news confirmed?" ”

"I'm sure the man disappeared at exactly the same time as the princess was robbed, and the man hasn't been seen since."

"Keep checking," Murong Mian stood at the table, his eyes were cold, "Don't let go of any traces, no matter how big the rivers and lakes are, this king will turn them upside down!" ”

They didn't deliberately lower their voices when they spoke, not only the guards outside the account, but even Zhuge Qianyu, who was standing not far away, could hear it clearly, he frowned slightly, took his hands, and slowly returned to his tent.

Winter nights always come very early, and the sky and the earth are like a light smoke like mist, and a bird flutters its wings and flies into the sky from behind a tent, and disappears into the darkness of the night.

Ning Jiu stood in front of the account, heard the movement, looked up at the sky, and his frowning brows loosened slightly.
