The air in Shuaifu was quiet.

Zong Xu stood up suddenly: "What did you say?" It's icy and snowy, how can the Hu people knock on the level? ”

Winter is not only sad for them, but also for the Hu people. Over the years, there has been friction between the two sides, and there will be a temporary truce in the winter, and we will talk about it after the New Year.

The knight said: "General, just an hour ago, the Hu cavalry attacked the gravel slope, and the battle report is true!" ”

He presented it with both hands, and Zong Xu snatched it, disassembled it, and swept it over quickly.

Guo Xu was also taken aback, and went up to take a closer look, only to know the reason.

In the summer, the eight tribes of Beihu killed a river of blood in Tianshen Mountain, and then Su Tu, the seventh prince of the snow wolf department, came forward and integrated the eight departments into one place.

The eight parts have been divided for a long time, and each has a blood feud, which is incompatible with each other.

In order to complete the integration, Sutu lifted the butcher's knife and killed the grass roots on the grassland to turn red.

Seeing that the other tribes were not Su Tu's opponents, Zong Xu expected that it would be a matter of time before the eight tribes were unified. He also once went to the recital and asked if he would take the opportunity to send troops, but the emperor did not reply to him, so he could only forget it.

Zong Xu knew that the emperor was a king of success, and it was too difficult for him to make up his mind to conquer Hubu.

What's more, there is still a Chu State in the south, and if it really goes to war, there are too many factors involved, so it is not to blame him for seeking stability.

It's just a pity to miss this opportunity, Zong Xu still sends people to keep an eye on Hu Bu's movements from time to time.

According to the situation in the past six months, the Hu Department in the integration has not even been able to distinguish people from the border to attack and disturb the border.

After reading the battle report, Zong Xu knew what was going on.

It turned out to be the rest of the remnants who refused to submit, and they were driven all the way south by Sutu and gathered men and horses to storm the gravel slope.

Zong Xu handed over the battle report to the deputy general and said to Guo Xu: "I still have to send troops in the ice and snow, but I am afraid that these Hu people are desperate to seize the land of survival, and the gravel slope will be a bitter battle." Lord Guo, I will rush to the front line at the end, and please take care of yourself. ”

Guo Xu nodded and said: "The war is important, and the general is at will." ”

Zong Xu immediately returned to the White Tiger Festival Hall and dispatched the army, and even himself, planned to go to the front line in person.

Zong Rui said: "Dad, it's just a gravel slope, why do you need to be the commander of the Northwest Army?" Just go for the child. ”

Zong Xu avoided people, so he told him: "My father is not going to support me, although this battle is difficult, but our soldiers and horses are strong, and there is enough food and grass, so there is nothing to worry about." In the past six months, the grassland corpses have been strewn all over the field, and the offensive and defensive situation between us and the Hu Department has been completely reversed, if we can take advantage of this Hu people's knock and enter the grassland, there is no need for the Holy Decree......"

Zong Rui suddenly realized: "So that's the case!" Dad, then I'm going too! ”

"You have to stay." Zong Xu didn't give him the slightest hope, "We are different from the right army, they just need to guard the North Heavenly Gate, and we need to be vigilant in addition to the Hu people in the north, as well as the Wu clan and Kunyi tribes in the west." My father went to the north, and no one stayed behind in Baimenxia, so I was not at ease. ”

No matter how unwilling Zong Rui was, he could only respond.

Zong Xu sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Our Zong family guards the border all the year round, and most of the brothers of my father's generation have died in battle, and there are only a few left, and your younger brothers have not yet become adults, so we can only work harder for our father and son." ”

"The child understands that Daddy must be careful in this trip."

Zong Rui hoped in his heart that Zong Xu's trip would go well, and if he could enter the grassland, he would have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

……

When the news of Hu Ren's knock came, Ming Wei was with the daughters of those generals.

These female dependents have been at the border all year round, and they have long been accustomed to it, and they are not alarmed.

Zongxu's second room Ru Madame arranged the dismissal in an orderly manner, appeased everywhere, and asked someone to send Mingwei back.

Mingwei obediently returned to the guest house.

Not long after, Yang Shu also returned.

"What's going on?" She asked, "How can Sutu still have the strength to invade the south?" ”

Yang Shu shook his head and said, "It's not Su Tu, it's those people who were driven out of the tribe by him." It's freezing and there's nowhere to go, so I'm desperate. ”

"Oh." Ming Wei breathed a sigh of relief. She doesn't remember it.

"Speaking of knocking or something, I thought it was going to invade the south in a big way."

Yang Shu said with a smile: "Baimen Gorge is not as blessed as the North Heavenly Gate, and because of this, there are several city passes on the way south. The gravel slope is just a small pass, and even if it is taken away, the problem is not so serious. ”

The two talked for a while, and then rested as usual.

Yang Shu even pestered her with interest to play for most of the night......

When I woke up the next day, it was snowing again.

The snowflakes are not big, and they are very poetic.

Yang Shu called Ning Xiu and Ah Xuan to eat mutton pot together, and they were very happy.

After two days of mixing like this, the Commander's Mansion suddenly became noisy in the middle of the night.

Although Yang Shu has been having a chic life in the past few days, he has been thinking about it in his heart. As soon as there was movement outside, he got up.

"Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan!"

Ah Xuan came over without getting dressed: "Childe, my subordinates have already sent someone to inquire, you wait a while." ”

Yang Shu rubbed his hands, and Mingwei also got up over there, and the three of them gathered around the stove to wait for news.

After a while, the family will return.

"Childe, it's General Zongda who has an accident."

Yang Shu was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

Those remnants of the beard, Yang Shu didn't pay attention to it at all. It may be that the small battle will be more difficult, but the Northwest Army has a large number of soldiers and horses, and as long as reinforcements arrive, it will definitely be solved. What's more, what can go wrong with the clan's relatives?

The general gasped and said, "On the way to the gravel slope, General Zongda encountered a snow disaster......

"Is it really snowy?"

The general replied, "That's what they all say. ”

Yang Shu nodded, went back to the house to change his clothes, and prepared to wait for news in person.

When he arrived at the White Tiger Festival Hall, Zong Rui and Guo Xu were both present, and when they saw him come in, everyone didn't react, because they were already arguing about the rescue.

Yang Shu listened for a while and found that the matter might be more serious than he imagined.

Zongxu is missing, and because of the snow disaster, the gravel slope has been lost.

Yang Shu had a bad premonition.

He finally found an opportunity to ask Zong Rui in the middle of the quarrel: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zong Rui looked at him twice and whispered, "I want to save my father." ”

"But as soon as you're gone, who's going to be in charge? Don't talk about your brother, he's just a small school now. If you change to someone else, you will always lack prestige if you don't have a surname. ”

Zong Rui furrowed his brows.

Yang Shu advised him: "I know that you are anxious, but it is best not to act rashly at this time." There are many soldiers and horses in the Northwest, and there is no shortage of you as a general, and there are many people who can be sent. To put it seriously, General Zong has already had an accident, and if you can't get to the scene, it won't affect the rescue, and if you get into it yourself, it will be a loss-making deal. ”

Zong Rui nodded reluctantly, hesitated, and still said, "Thank you." ”

Yang Shu stopped laughing at him at this time, and only patted him on the shoulder.

Zong Rui calmed down and thought about the candidate to be sent, but at this moment, another battle report came from outside.

"Report - Major General, the Xirong Departments are reversed!"
