At this time, it was exactly eight years since the first battle of the Fire Thunder Plain, and under the witness of the entire Yanbei, Great Xia paid a devastating price for his actions that day. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

In the evening of the same day, Zhao Yang, the fourteenth prince of Great Xia, led his troops to rush over, integrated the remnants of the Southwest Army, sent 500,000 troops, and once again surrounded Beishuo City.

At this time, in the inland province of Monlai in Great Xia, Yan Xun finally received a letter from Miss Yu from the flying eagle. After reading the letter, he looked deeply at the ancient capital of Zhenhuang, which was no longer far away, and stood alone for a long, long time, and finally he returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and issued an order that shocked everyone: "Pull out the camp overnight and return to Beishuo!" After returning to Beishuo City, Chu Qiao received a heroic courtesy, except for the necessary defense, the entire Beishuo City soldiers and civilians gathered at the city gate. For a time, the crowd here was dense, and the enthusiasm of the whole people was high, and there was jubilation, as if the Battle of Beishuo had been won. When Chu Qiao led the army of the southwest town envoy into the city gate, the welcoming crowd almost overwhelmed the team, the deputy commander of the second army, Lu Zhi, was dead, and the new deputy commander Yin Liangyu led the troops to the front to rectify the order, but was quickly washed into a piece of scattered sand by the crowd.

Chu Qiao looked calmly, although the soldiers of the second army had been slightly reorganized in order to welcome the friendly army, but compared to when they left, most of the army had been damaged, and the remaining soldiers were wounded, their clothes were tattered, full of blood, tired, timid, scared, confused, and compromised, all kinds of uneasy emotions clearly flashed in their eyes. The dust well concealed the paleness of their faces, and many people's war knives had lost their scabbards, just inserted indiscriminately into their waists, and a crisp collision could be heard between actions, and the sound of Jin Ge was sounded, but there was no intention to fight, just panicked.

Compared with these panicked soldiers of the Second Army, the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Town Government were in stark contrast to them. Although the same armor was stained with blood and dusty, they were confident and calm, maintained a neat formation and formation, had strict military discipline, rode steadily on their horses, followed behind Chu Qiao, and walked vigorously on the long street. The north wind blew, blowing through their big fur, and the inky black cloak was full of the smell of blood, solemn and desolate. Seeing them, the crowd suddenly resounded with thunderous cheers, in the case of the defeat of the million army, in the case of the Yanbei soldiers fleeing one after another, only they threw themselves into the death without hesitation, and resolutely took on the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country.

Yin Liangyu strode forward, the chaotic crowd squeezed his helmet crookedly, and before he had time to put down his hat, the young officer hurriedly said: "The icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, Lord Chu came in danger to save Beishuo in a desperate situation, and the second army is grateful for the kindness of the lord!" ”

Chu Qiao jumped off the horse, smiled quietly, and said: "General Yin's words are serious, he also serves Yanbei, and the envoy of the southwest town and the second army are in the same air. Saying that, the girl took off the hood on her head, even after such a tragic battle, she was still neat and clean, a military uniform modified her figure straight and beautiful, full of the sassy and heroic posture of a soldier and the coquettishness of a woman, beautiful face, white skin, between looking forward to it, her eyes were like stars, her spirit was flying, she was full of confidence, her voice was peaceful and friendly, and she was full of sincerity.

An incredible exclamation suddenly sounded in the crowd, and the soldiers and people who had never seen her talked about it, and the praise came like a tide, from the Zhenhuang Change, to the Northwest Battlefield, from the Bian Tang Mutiny, to the Battle of Chidu, too many glorious and shining battles were decorated on this woman, and naturally, people automatically ignored her age and appearance.

But at this moment, on this stormy battlefield, the girl's beauty is like a shining lamp, shining above people's heads, and everyone can't help but exclaim: "Is this Lord Chu?" So young? ”

"Yes! It's unbelievable, it's so beautiful! ”

Although the Southwest Field Army and the Batuha Family Army led by Zhao Qi were defeated, Chu Qiao knew that this battle did not move its roots at all, and the reason why the Xia army was defeated was only because the Xia army had just launched the final intensity attack on Beishuo City at that time, and the forward corps and cavalry regiments were all sent to the battlefield, in order to complete the battle before dark, out of absolute worry about their rear, they also sent several of their reserves, and the rear troops were empty, and they were all baggage soldiers and chariots and horses, The nearest cavalry regiment was also separated by two baggage divisions from him. The southwest town envoy is all composed of cavalry, the speed is extremely fast, under the impact, it is like a cheetah rushing into the wild horse herd from the rear, plus Zhao Qi died in his own hands by mistake, the Xia army group has no leader, and the people's hearts are scattered, so they were picked up by themselves.

However, the name of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Great Xia is not called in vain, and Zhao Yang will arrive later, Chu Qiao was anxious, but it was inconvenient to show it, and said to Yin Liangyu: "Where is General Cao?" I have an urgent military situation and I need to report it immediately. ”

Yin Liangyu said in a deep voice: "The general is in the conference hall, please come with me." ”

It is still the general's mansion of Beishuo City, the black obsidian is neatly spread on the ground, towering, the torches are faint, and the footsteps sound in the corridor, a loud sound, heavy and tired.

Finally came to the door of the conference hall, the two young guards saw Yin Liangyu, immediately stood up straight, performed a standard military salute, and said loudly: "General Yin!" ”

Yin Liangyu nodded, let go of his body, pointed at Chu Qiao and said, "This is Lord Chu from the General Staff. ”

The two guards had obviously seen Chu Qiao, and immediately smiled and saluted, "Meet Lord Chu!" ”

Chu Qiao nodded in return, "Good work." ”

"Is the general in there?"

"Here, the general has been waiting for the two of you for half a day."

Yin Liangyu nodded and said, "Please inform us two." ”

One of the guards nodded yes, knocked lightly on the door, and then said loudly: "Report to the general, General Yin and Lord Chu of the General Staff Department have something to ask to see!" ”

The wind blew through the hallway, whining. The corridor was silent, no one spoke, only the voices of the young guards echoed in the corners, drifting back and forth with the wind.

Yin Liangyu frowned, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "General Cao, Lord Chu Qiao of the General Staff Department has something to ask to see. ”

There was still no one answering inside, Yin Liangyu's brows furrowed more and more, and he continued: "General, are you inside?" ”

Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and said, "It's not good." Immediately, he pushed the door of the conference room open.

With a creak, the door slowly opened, the wind inside was very strong, and a hula blew out, and the window facing the door was not closed, and the materials and rice paper on the conference table were blown all over the ground, like a group of white butterfly folded wings, constantly flipping under their feet. The huge conference hall was empty, the tables and chairs were all in place, and Cao Mengtong sat in his usual seat with his back to the crowd, motionless and without speaking, as if he was looking at the map hanging on the wall.

Yin Liangyu took a long breath, took two steps forward, and said respectfully: "General, Lord Chu is here, and she said that she has something important to report to you." ”

Cao Mengtong didn't seem to hear it, he didn't even change his sitting posture, Chu Qiao frowned, and immediately stepped forward, and the guards who followed her were startled, and hurriedly chased after her and shouted, "Lord Chu......"

However, before he could finish speaking, his voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widened in horror, his mouth slightly open, but he could not utter a word.

Cao Mengtong was wearing a brand-new uniform, the cuffs were slightly pulled up, revealing half of his arm, and there was an obvious scar on his left hand, which seemed to have been left many years ago, and it was no longer clear if he didn't look carefully. His clothes were very smooth, without even a trace of wrinkles, and the left pocket of the placket revealed half a white handkerchief, neatly folded, and the black placket was decorated with war eagles embroidered with gold thread, and there were nine thumb-sized patterns, showing the noble status of the chief general of the old man's army. He was no longer young, in his sixtieth year, wrinkles crawled all over his face, his muscles were loose, the corners of his eyes and mouth drooped downward, and his gray hair, although meticulously combed, still could not hide his old age.

A dagger was stuck in his heart, and the blood meandered down, already congealed, and the room was cold, and the red and black blood was frozen, condensed into a cold one. Life has long since left this body, leaving only a lonely shadow, old and desolate in the light of the moon.

The huge map of Yanbei hung in front of him, with thousands of ravines and mountains on it, and a thin line connected the place names on the map, from the northernmost Meilin Pass, all the way through Huihui Mountain, Shangshen Plateau, Siqiu Lanling, Sunset Mountains, Blue City, Chidu, Beishuo, and then drew a big arrow with bright red cinnabar, pointing directly to the rich and vast Eastern Continent.

Yin Liangyu and the guards were stunned, facing the sudden death of the coach, they were at a loss, and they didn't know what to do.

Chu Qiao slowly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and gently brushed Cao Mengtong's dead eyes, leaving only a large area of desolation in his heart.

For the sake of his own selfish interests, ignoring millions of soldiers and civilians, not knowing people clearly, judging the enemy clearly, being stupid and reckless, arrogant and pedantic, it is precisely because of his incompetence and arrogance that he completely dragged down the favorable war situation and made the army pay an immeasurable price. His sins are too numerous to mention, and ten thousand deaths are not enough to forgive his sins, before coming here, Chu Qiao thought of so many ways and schemes, no matter what, he had to take him down and regain the command of Beishuo City, and even thought of a lot of sharp words, wanting to express the anger in his heart. But at this moment, looking at the old man sitting quietly in the cold wind, all her anger suddenly went down the drain.

It was a brutal war, and everyone paid a brutal price for it, both alive and dead.

"Look, General!" The guard's eyes were sharp, and he picked up a piece of paper on the table and handed it to Yin Liangyu.

Yin Liangyu hurriedly took it, glanced at it quickly, then raised his head, gently handed it to Chu Qiao, and said: "Lord Chu, now, you are the supreme commander of the Second Army, the last general Yin Liangyu, report to you!" ”

Chu Qiao took the piece of paper, only to see that it had made a simple handover of the command of the Second Army and the Beishuo Army in a completely official tone, and wrote a few words hoping that Chu Qiao would fight bravely and make contributions to Yanbei, as if it was an ordinary handover ceremony that could no longer be ordinary.

Chu Qiao untied his sword, put it aside, and then slowly took a step back, stood up straight and performed a neat military salute, "General Cao fought for the country, resisted the Xia army, fought to the last moment of his life without flinching, he is an example for the whole army, and the last general will live up to the hope of the general, be tenacious and loyal, and never retreat!" ”

That night, the records of the military camp guards recorded such a stroke: Beishuo Battle, General Cao Mengtong took the lead, fought a decisive battle in Beishuo City in the year of the sixtieth year, vowed not to retreat, stubbornly resisted the Xia army, was seriously wounded and died, died in the conference hall on the evening of October 27, and before his death, the command of the Second Army was handed over to the military staff of the General Staff Department and the senior commander of the Southwest Town Government, Chu Qiaochu. General Cao was loyal and brave all his life, did his best for Yanbei, guarded the country with a sixtieth birthday, and read Sheji before leaving, and was a model for Yanbei soldiers.

Just look at the refreshing one
