Chapter 122: Weakness

After several days of rest, the army is about to embark on the journey again. Although Huan Guohou ordered to postpone the march, fortunately, the weather did not get colder anymore, and the water was still not frozen, and there were still grain ships that transported grain and grass to Jincheng every day.

It was another day of snow, and there was a suppressed cough faintly in the coach's line, and the generals in the outer hall were somewhat worried, since the snow began to fall three or five days ago, Huan Guohou's old illness faintly seemed to have an attack. Jincheng is not as good as Chongdu, there are many famous doctors who can be summoned at any time, and they are dragged down in a row, and I don't want Huan Guohou to cough so badly.

Xi Yan knew that his brother had an old disease, but he didn't expect that his brother's old illness would reach such a stubborn point...... Now is the time to send Feng Yi to the army, although Jincheng is not as good as Chongdu, but there is a mansion as a line, if Feng Yi is pulled out with the army...... No one can say whether Huan Guohou's body can hold it up.

After a while, the coughing sound in the inner room gradually became quieter, and a personal soldier pushed Huan Guohou from the back hall to the front of the handsome case, there was almost no trace of blood on his face, and there were still some beads of sweat on his forehead in this cold day.

Many of the generals are old people who once followed Huan Guohou to fight, looking at the young general who was strong and heroic at the beginning, and now he has become such a weak appearance, everyone is more of a lament than worry.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't open my mouth like a bone in my throat.

Xi Luan knew that many battles were waiting for him to coordinate, so he took a sip of hot tea and used the calmness on his face to hide Fang Cai's weakness.

"Now that you've arrived, I'll make a long story short." Xi Luan's voice was still as clear as ever, as if the coughing and wheezing sound coming from the inner tent was just everyone's illusion, "It's been some time since our army captured Jincheng, it's time to go and get Feng Yi." However, Feng Yicheng's defense committee is really strong, and he is afraid of falling into a fierce battle when he raises troops at such a cold time...... Pay for one's whistle. Therefore, Benhou decided...... Shooting Shengwei, Xiong Quwei, plus 100,000 Northwest Army, went to Feng Yi to besiege the city, and first trapped the enemy's main force in Feng Yi. ”

Xi Luan wanted to finish his words in one breath, but only halfway through speaking, he couldn't help but lean over and cough again, and the generals saw him like this, and they all wanted to help, but they were stopped by Xi Luan raising his hand, Xi Yan's eyes when he looked at his brother were also full of anxiety and worry.

After another moment, Huan Guohou's breathing was no longer as turbid as before.

"Xiong Quwei, Shooting Guard, and the generals of the Northwest Army listen to the order." Although the voice was light and low, it was still unquestionable, "When you wait for this siege, it is necessary to surround Feng Yi for twenty days without breaking it, is it possible?" ”

Several generals did not hesitate to clasp their fists and salute, and the heavy responsibility was on their shoulders, and there was no room for shirk.

Xi Luan breathed a little and continued: "The Xiao Cavalry Guard and the Leopard Cavalry Guard obey the order. ”

A couple of generals came out again.

"Your task is to continue to attack and harass the remaining large enemy forces to the north of Feng Yi, and it is necessary to clear Feng Yi's road to Shuiluo...... Do not allow the enemy to discover the intention to attack Shuiluo. After Feng Yi's siege is over, you will retreat. ”

"The last general will take the order!"

Huan Guohou made such a big move, just to let those 50,000 people rush to attack the garrison outside Shuiluo, although Shuiluo is important...... But will such an arrangement be too much of a time-consuming arrangement? But at this time, all the generals were concerned about their tasks and Huan Guohou's body, and they had no time to think about it for a while.

"Let's all go down and get ready to pull, Ben Hou...... Personally oversee the battle for you. The second half of the sentence was addressed to the generals of the Shooting Voice Guard and Xiong Quwei, who were obviously taken aback.

"Master Hou, you better stay in Jincheng to recuperate. You can rest assured that the last general and others will live up to their mission! ”

When General Shengwei said this, his eyes were almost red, what was the situation of Huan Guohou's body, everyone had just seen it, if he went to the front line regardless of the obstruction, I don't know what it would become.

The generals under the stairs touched the ground on one knee one after another, dissuading Huan Guohou from putting his body first, and Da Zhao's country was not just a responsibility on his shoulders.

"Please stay in Jincheng, wait for the last general to recover Feng Yi, and you must first offer victory to Hou Ye!"

Xi Luan looked at the scene in front of him with some hesitation, but his chest couldn't help but lag, and before he could speak, coughing and wheezing poured out.

"Well...... Let's all go down. Xi Luan seemed to wave his hand a little weakly, and all the generals retreated, only Xi Yan remained in the line.

"Brother," everyone was about to leave, and Xi Yan hurriedly went up to support him, "How can your body be like this?" ”

Xi Luan seemed calmer, "It's okay, maybe it's because the northwest weather is too cold, and I can't stand it for a while." Although this is not the first time that you have led an army to attack, you should think more about 50,000 people. ”

"I understand," Xi Yan patted his brother on the back with one hand and held his shoulder with the other, "Has my brother ever taken medicine?" You haven't had an old disease for several years, and even Mr. Lin asserts that it has been eradicated, how can it be so powerful this time without warning? ”

"How can it be completely eradicated," Xi Luan took a deep breath, "You go down and prepare, the preparation must be fine, before you pull out...... Come here again and tell me again, I will transfer most of the enemy troops in the northwest for you, but you are not allowed to relax, do you understand? ”

"Yes, I understand." Xi Yan looked at his brother worriedly, "Don't worry, I will do what you explain." Just a brother...... You should take care of yourself and don't overdo it. ”

"I'm measured," Xi Luan seemed to be reassuring him, but he was very practical, "but after all, I have to coordinate the war, hundreds of thousands of troops...... Inevitably, it is necessary to put more thought into it. ”

"Yes, when you return to Chongdu after the war, you must recuperate for a year and a half, otherwise this strain will not be able to make up for it."

Xi Luan's eyes suddenly crossed a trace of strangeness, and then smiled again: "This is natural, even if I don't recuperate, my mother will definitely let me be quiet in the house, but you are not allowed to talk too much in front of her, causing her to be plain and worried." Xi Luan looked up at the skylight outside the window and ordered, "Okay, you go down, there is not much time left for you, go and prepare." ”

"Yes."

It seems that there is not much difference from the last expedition, but the people who followed him were already 50,000 people.

Although carrying the jade dragon and crisscrossing the field is where his heart lies, at this moment, Xi Yan's heart is still heavy. The arrangement of the army of more than 100,000 is just a trick, so that his 50,000 people can run successfully.

But for some reason, Xi Yan had a faint premonition in his heart, he always felt that there was something unreasonable about this battle, but his brother had already laid out his intentions very clearly before the war, and Xi Yan couldn't continue to understand the mystery no matter what he thought.

It's just that he doesn't know yet, and what happened in the next few days will never be forgotten by him.
