What's the distraction? If you still care about these things on the battlefield, won't the mourning family die long ago? ”

Zhao He's face became more steady, and he ordered the guards to lead people down to meet the battle. The two sides are fighting in one place, but they are not separated from each other.

Hua Cao watched quietly from the top of the castle tower, her eyes staring closely at the people on the battlefield, and her face was nervous that she had never shown before. The people on the big end side were brought out by Zhao He himself, so naturally they would not be bad. Ah Yu had a little difficulty coping with it, but he still refused to give up. When his gaze fell on the flower on the castle tower, the blade of the sword became more powerful.

After a long stalemate, there have been many casualties on both sides.

Looking at the gradually scarce soldiers, Ah Yu's face was a little hesitant.

"Withdraw!"

Ah Yu shouted, and the soldiers understood, and they retreated to the back one after another. The soldiers of Daduan were not prepared to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and let Ah Yu's people gradually move away.

Walking out of a long distance, Ah Yu still didn't forget to turn his head and look back at the flowers on the city tower.

I couldn't see the man's face, but the man made Ah Yu feel very familiar. It wasn't until the soldiers around him reminded Ah Yu that Ah Yu came back to his senses. Retracted his gaze and walked in the direction of going back little by little.

"Niangniang, they are not attacking and fighting, but they are going to consume our energy day by day, now like this, how should we deal with it?"

Hua Cao walked down from the top of the city tower, and Zhao He on the side asked.

Hua Cao stopped and looked at the people around him, "General Zhao is proficient in the art of war, and he should have made up his mind a long time ago, why did he come to ask me?" ”

"Niangniang is right, but ......" Zhao He hesitated slightly, Hua Cao had already walked towards the front, Zhao He hurriedly followed, "What the minister thought was that it was better to strike first, and we would also go and teach Nanjiang a lesson." But if this is the case, it may not be without risks, if southern Xinjiang is prepared, I think we will not have any good fruits! ”

"Does General Zhao know why the soldiers trained by so many years of seniority are still not as good as the rising stars in southern Xinjiang?" Hua Cao didn't answer the rhetorical question, but Zhao Heyi didn't react when he came, "Because you Zhao He's too serious your consequences, sometimes, people can't be too pessimistic." It's like there are wars that will be lost, but there are still people who will resist! ”

Zhao He looked at Hua Yao's back stupidly and bowed deeply. For a moment, Zhao He seemed to understand why Hua Cao was so respected. If such a woman can live longer, it will be a matter of time before Daduan can annex Eastern Qi in the future? Thinking about it, Shen Cuobai should have thought of this, so he couldn't wait, and even drove the expedition in person, right?

In the middle of the night, Hua Cao sat quietly at the table. On the table is a large map, marked with mountains and mountains. The lights flickered slightly, shining on Hua Cao's face, and if you look closely, you will find that Hua Cao's deep thoughts are not on the map.

"Zhao He went out with someone." Broken String moved a chair opposite Hua Xiao and sat down straight.

Hua Cao nodded slightly, "It's a bit of progress, at least I won't always be a shrunken turtle." ”

"You're not afraid that none of them will come back?"

"Shen Cuobai doesn't dare," Hua Cao slowly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Sometimes, Shen Cuobai is like Zhao He, always timid. If there is anything to do with Zhao He, it will undoubtedly increase our morale, even if the soldiers try their best, they will make Shen Cuobai's people pay the price, you don't underestimate it. ”

Broken String nodded lightly, which was considered understanding. Hua Cao's gaze fell on the map, and she seemed to be a little more focused.

Compared to the absent-mindedness just now, it is much better at this time.

Po Xian didn't speak, Hua Xiao didn't speak anymore, and there was silence between the two of them, as if they were waiting for something. Time passed little by little, but it made Broken String a little nervous.

"General Zhao is back!"

There was a cry of surprise outside, and Hua Cao's heart was put back in her stomach, with a little joy on her face.

The ensuing cold wind blew in, Zhao Hefeng walked in in a hurry, and saluted Hua Cao, with a little surprise on his face, "See Niangniang, the minister is back with the soldiers!" Nanjiang didn't expect that we would rush over in such a hurry, and there was no resistance at all. It went smoothly until nothing happened! ”

"That's good," Hua Cao said lightly, Zhao He was waiting, but there was no follow-up.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao He still retreated. When he was leaving, he looked at Hua Cao again, but he still couldn't find any flaws on Hua Cao's face, as if Hua Cao himself was indifferent to this matter.

It wasn't until he listened to Zhao He's footsteps that he walked away and broke the strings and laughed slowly.

"If I hadn't known that you were nervous just now, I really thought that you had no heart as a woman! It turns out that this is not the case, you are just hiding yourself too deeply, but what good is this for you? ”

Hua Cao gently raised her eyes to look in the direction of Broken String, who reluctantly accepted the smile on her face and walked outside.

The tent was quiet again, and the corners of Hua Cao's mouth inadvertently brought a little smile. Under the yellowish lamp, Hua Cao's face looked extraordinarily gentle.

It's just that no one saw this scene.

Shencuo white camp tent in southern Xinjiang.

Shen Cuobai sat quietly on the main seat, and there were Xuan Yue, Ah Yu, Wei Yuan and Wei Zhaohua standing around. The faces of several people couldn't help but feel a little heavy, and the attack just now made the faces of several people a little unpleasant.

"Your Majesty, the minister has arranged to strengthen patrols, no matter when the big people come over, the same situation will not happen again tonight, please rest assured." Wei Yuan was the first to speak.

Xuan Yue also bowed to Shen Cuobai, "Your Majesty, the ministers are also responsible for this matter, please don't anger the military division." ”

"Your Majesty! It was the minister's unfavorable work today that gave Zhao He this opportunity, and when he went to Daduan City Tower today, if it wasn't for the minister's distraction, it wouldn't have become like this! ”

Ah Yu spoke slowly, but let everyone set their eyes on Ah Yu's body.

Shen Cuobai's face was a little deep, "Why are you distracted?" ”

Ah Yu was stunned in his heart and lowered his head, but he also told all the things he encountered today.

Wei Yuan, Ah Yu, Xuan Yue and others felt suspicious, and they all guessed the identity of the Empress Dowager Hua, but when it came to Shen Cuobai and Wei Zhaohua's faces, their faces sank.

"Don't talk about this matter first, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army." Shen Cuobai spoke slowly, stopping everyone's words. With a gentle wave of their hands, everyone felt a little puzzled, but they still saluted and retreated.

Before leaving, Ah Yu looked at Wei Zhaohua who was walking in front, I don't know why, Wei Zhaohua in front of him was obviously the real Wei Zhaohua, but it just made Ah Yu feel vain.

"What are you thinking?" Xuan Yue said slowly, and Ah Yu hurriedly shook his head.

When Ah Yu was about to leave, he was pulled by Xuan Yue again, "Do you think there is something wrong with the county lord?" ”

Ah Yu's expression froze, and he nodded lightly after hesitating. When Xuan Yue pulled Ah Yu to a corner, she looked around at no one for a while, and then slowly spoke, "I also feel that the county lord has been very abnormal recently, as if something is not quite right." But where, I can't say. ”

"The Empress Dowager Hua Cao I saw on the city tower looks like the county lord."

When Ah Yu thought of the figure on the city tower, he couldn't help but shudder. He had never seen that kind of gaze in another person, Wei Zhaohua was the first, and Hua Cao would be the second.

"Like whom?"

A voice sounded behind him, causing the two of them to hurriedly bow their heads and salute, "See the county lord!" ”

Wei Zhaohua chuckled, his eyes wandered over the two of them, and he chuckled, "The emperor has come to southern Xinjiang, and the lord of this county naturally has to avoid suspicion sometimes. During this time, I won't pay attention to the affairs of southern Xinjiang, you can do it yourself. But if there is anything wrong, the county lord will definitely not sit idly by! ”

Watching Wei Zhaohua leave step by step, Ah Yu and Xuan Yue's eyes were unconsciously a little more sad.

Time passed, and since that day, there seems to have been a lot quieter between the two sides.

On the surface, it seems to be calm, but only Hua Cao and Shen Cuobai's hearts are the clearest, both sides have already made their positions clear, but they also need to plan well after all. No warrior has to make fearless sacrifices.

"Niangniang, General Wei's army has stepped into the territory of Daduan, and it can't hold it over there." Zhao He hurriedly came in from outside, but after seeing Hua Cao, he was much calmer.

Hua Cao just nodded lightly, "Move the troops over?" ”

"How much? We still have Shen Cuobai here, compared to General Wei, it's not bad at all! Zhao He's tone was a little more worried, now it was a belly and back attack, and there was nowhere to hide. Dongqi is menacing, and it is obviously ready for everything. Compared to the dilapidated Big End, it seems that Hua Cao doesn't seem to have any chance of winning!

"All." Hua Cao said slowly, "General Wei, you are easy to act impulsively, and you will be even more indomitable if you win a battle. Even if you go straight to Kyoto, it's not impossible. Although he knows that Hua Cao is me, he may not know that Hua Cao is also me now, so he will not have any scruples. But it's different here, I have a way, you take someone and leave. ”

Zhao He opened his mouth, looking at Hua Cao's confident appearance, but finally closed his mouth weakly.

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister will not disappoint the mother."

Zhao He's body walked outside, and when the curtain fell, he didn't notice the fatigue that flashed on Hua Cao's face.
