On the second day, it was sunny, and Mingwei and Ning Xiu went out to watch the mountain again.

In this place, you can already see the gravel slope.

They figured out a route and came back: "This road should be passable, but if you march, there may be hidden dangers." ”

Zong Xu asked: "Where is the hidden danger?" ”

"The surrounding terrain is unstable and the snow is thick, making it easy for it to collapse again. If it does happen, we will most likely be cut off. ”

The gravel slope has been lost, and if the reinforcements are cut off again, it will put itself in a position where it can only move forward and not retreat.

Zong Xu pondered for a long time, and finally said: "If you don't go to the gravel slope now, I'm afraid you will miss the opportunity." ”

Yang Shu expressed his understanding: "It's okay for my people, you decide how to do it." ”

Zong Xu nodded, and bowed his hand to Ning Xiu and Mingwei: "Two, you're tired." ”

The safest way is to follow the path they found and go back. Anyway, the gravel slope has been lost, and there is ice and snow blocking the road, so let the Hu people occupy it for a winter, and it will not affect the overall situation. And if he goes back, as long as the Xirong tribes are suppressed, the northwest border will still be impregnable.

It's just that Zong Xu is always thinking about sending troops to the grassland.

It is impossible to count on the emperor to give an order. This man's temperament, he knows in his heart, looks benevolent, but in fact he is timid, for fear that during his reign, he will leave a criticizing defect. Therefore, he tried his best to implement benevolent government and worked hard in civil governance, but in this aspect of martial arts, he did not seek merit but no fault.

There's nothing wrong with that. A self-aware emperor is much better than a person who doesn't count in his heart and loses indiscriminately.

But Zong Xu is a generation of famous generals, and it is inevitable to regret it in his heart.

Obviously, such a good opportunity, if you take advantage of the chaos in the north to send troops north, you may be able to incorporate the grassland into the territory in one fell swoop.

This is the greatest achievement of a general, and it will definitely go down in history and glory through the ages.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that the Hu people were knocking on the pass, he wondered if he could take this opportunity to send troops to the grassland.

The rebellion of the Xirong tribes seems to be under great pressure now, but the foundation of the Northwest Army is there, and talented generals are emerging in an endless stream, even if he is not in charge there, there will be no major incidents.

It would be a pity to lose this opportunity to send troops to the grassland.

Zong Rui's thoughts, Yang Shu knew well, and privately mentioned a few words to Ming Wei, and said: "The Zong family has been three generations, and it is a good thing that there is such blood. It's a pity ......"

Mingwei comforted him: "At least it's much better than the history I've experienced, isn't it?" Let's not rush, take our time. ”

"Hmm." Yang Shu wrapped her cloak tighter, "Don't freeze, if it's cold, let Senior Brother go alone." ”

Ming Wei said: "If you let Mr. know like this, you will be angry again." ”

Yang Shu was straightforward: "He is a big man, what is it to endure a little hardship?" ”

Ming smiled slightly.

Sure enough, the favored ones have no fear.

After spending a day rectifying, Zong Xu led the rest of the sergeants to set off.

Thousands of men and horses were scattered, their mouths covered with masks, and they did not dare to make a sound, and marched cautiously in the snow.

Since they chose to go to the gravel slope, they had to make a profit.

After all, the main road was blocked, the logistics route had been cut off, and the marching rations they brought could not last long.

Ming Wei and Ning Xiu broke away from the team from time to time to observe the terrain. If they were negligent, they could have lost thousands of lives.

When the Qi army was marching hard in the snow, there were three people standing on an inconspicuous mountain.

If Mingwei was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance who these three people were.

The new Hu lord Sutu, the princess of Yongqing, and the old eunuch named Zhong Ji.

"You are really accurate, Zong Xu chose to continue to go to the gravel slope, and there was no turnaround." Princess Yongqing wrapped her thick fur coat and looked at the figure moving in the distance.

In just half a year, Sutu's appearance is very different from before.

He was wearing a simple but expensive leather coat, his hat was inlaid with huge gems, and his originally delicate face was a little more cold, and when he stood with a knife, even if he didn't deliberately reveal it, there was still a killing intent coming to his face.

"Being able to step on the grassland, as long as he is still an ambitious general, he can't stand such temptation."

Princess Yongqing nodded and said with relief: "You have such a vision, you are worthy of the blood of our Chen family." ”

Sutu seemed to disagree with this sentence, but he just frowned and didn't say anything more.

"Xijon, there's no problem, right?"

Su Tu said: "With Nasu here, there will be no problem." He paused for a moment, and then asked, "It's really surprising that your people can actually agitate the Xirong tribes." ”

Princess Yongqing said proudly: "Of course. When Hongu was insulted like that, he made up his mind to take everything into his hands. If it weren't for your father's incompetence, these chess pieces would have come in handy in the early years. ”

Su Tu disagreed: "In the early years, the country of Qi was strong, even if you did this, it would be difficult to gain anything." ”

When he said this, Princess Yongqing was not angry, but smiled: "You want to say that the destiny of heaven belongs to you?" ”

Su Tu said: "The people of the Central Plains say that the mandate of heaven, I think that it is better to fight for any destiny than myself." Otherwise, it would be Uda who is here today, not me. ”

Uda is the eldest son of the Snow Wolf King, and he was supposed to inherit the Snow Wolf Department. But a few years ago, he was killed by Sutu.

Princess Yongqing admired his sharpness very much: "It's good that you have such a heart." ”

They watched for a while, and Princess Yongqing asked Zhong Ji, "Isn't it almost?" ”

Zhong Ji hesitated a little: "Princess, they have chosen this route very well, and if they want to bury all three thousand people, the possibility is extremely low." The slaves and maids have been staring at now, and they can only bury a few hundred people at most. ”

Princess Yongqing was displeased: "What's the use of hundreds of people?" ”

Zhong Ji lowered his head and listened to the training.

Su Tu's gaze passed through the valley, looked at the figures that rose and fell from time to time, and whispered: "With her, it is impossible for us to bury it." ”

At the mention of this, Princess Yongqing was even more angry: "This palace will definitely peel that dead girl and cramp this time!" ”

Forget about the eight cannibalism, Princess Yongqing did not pity the life of the Hu people, and even after doing so, she had the pleasure of revenge in her heart. But that girl snatched her Xuanming Jade, this matter has to be calculated carefully!

Su Tu didn't seem to hear Princess Yongqing's words, so he calculated in his heart, and said to Zhong Ji: "If there are fewer people, there will be fewer people, find a way to cut off their back road and isolate them." ”

Zhong Ji looked at Princess Yongqing.

Princess Yongqing asked him, "Are you sure?" ”

Su Tu shook his head: "If you are not sure, you have to do it, you can't miss the opportunity." There is no shortcut, just take a knife and fight your way. ”

Princess Yongqing couldn't think of a rebuttal, so she nodded: "Go!" ”

Zhong Ji bowed: "Yes." ”

He jumped up, his figure like a light swallow, silently longitudinal to the opposite mountain.

Zhong Ji's figure flashed away.

At the same time, the little white snake in Mingwei's sleeve suddenly burst out and said, "My lord, I seem to smell a familiar smell!" ”
