In winter, the dawn is relatively slow, and when the sky is fully brightened, it is almost eight o'clock, and there is naturally no rooster crowing in the camp outside the city, only the wake-up bells of each battalion are urging the soldiers to get up and practice and eat early.

On a cold winter morning, a team of dozens of cavalry came to the gate of the guard camp in the north of the city, dragged their tired bodies and jumped off their horses, and the leader politely greeted the guards: "Brother, our patrol team, come to see Director Zhao of the Military Discipline Department to sign in, has Director Zhao risen?" ”

"Patrol?" The guard looked at the bloodshot young general in front of him and nodded after checking his token, "Let's go in, the first person in the whole battalion except for the patrol is Director Zhao!" ”

The young military general was naturally Li Chengdong, who had just been transferred out to be in charge of patrolling, thanked the guards, and then led a few of his own soldiers into the camp and walked in the direction of the military tent of the Military Discipline Department!

"Made, he slept well and ate well, of course he got up early, but we stayed up all night in the ice and snow, and we suffered!" After entering the camp, a personal soldier beside Li Chengdong scolded in a low voice, and was glared at by Li Chengdong, "Shut up, don't look at anything, it's boring, right?" ”

"General Li, was you still safe last night?" Zhao Mingyang sat at the desk in his coat, holding a seal and stamping it on a piece of paper handed over by Li Qingshan. Patrols begin at dark and end at dawn and must sign in to the Military Discipline Office and report unusual movements. This is pre-prescribed!

"Back to Director Li, last night was very peaceful and there was no abnormal situation", Li Chengdong watched Zhao Mingyang return cautiously, although the tent was n times warmer than the outside, but it made him uncomfortable and just wanted to leave early! It's just that Zhao Mingyang obviously didn't plan to let him go so easily, but poured hot water for everyone to warm them up, and described last night's patrol in detail!

Li Chengdong felt sick to his stomach like a dog in the sun, he had never seen anything like this, he had fought for so many years and led soldiers for so many years. Whether it is when you are a thief or when you are an officer and soldier, you have never encountered such strict rules, as far as the patrol work is concerned, especially in winter, this is a chore, naturally it is handed over to the big soldiers under his command to do, as a leading cadre, of course, it is comfortable to hide in the warm quilt!

But these traditional unspoken rules do not work at all here in the Huaxia Army, the two directions southeast of Nanyang City, plus half of the defense line of the West City for more than ten miles, are all handed over to Li Chengdong's 1,000 men and horses, divided into ten groups and a group of 100 people, patrolling back and forth in both directions, and the more important person in charge must be on the front line, which means that Li Chengdong also has to run back and forth in the cold night like ordinary soldiers. Of course, the Military Discipline Department also equipped him and several leaders with thick military coats, and also equipped with inspectors from the Military Discipline Department, which made Li Chengdong want to be lazy, so he stayed up all night, and he had already greeted Zhao Mingyang's ancestors for eight generations in his heart.

After spending half an hour in Zhao Mingyang's tent. Li Chengdong, whose hands and feet had already warmed up, left with his own soldiers, and he should report it, now it's time to go back to his camp and sleep well!

Just as he was about to leave the Guards camp, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then his brow furrowed. Woman! How can there be a woman in the camp of the Guards, and this woman is quite good-looking, and she looks good in it, well, she seems to look good in it!

"I rub. It is said that the Chinese military regulations are strict, why are there still girls in the camp, hey. You said it was not the kiln sister called from the city! Someone laughed, with a lewd look on his face!

"It's possible, it's true that the Huaxia military regulations are strict, but this is the camp of the pro-guard army, I heard that they have deep trust from the little uncle, and they are usually very arrogant when they hold heavy power, and no one dares to do this kind of thing," another officer and soldier responded

"Didn't I hear that Zhao Mingyang of the Military Discipline Department is selfless and anyone dares to investigate, or, hehe, let's report it......" Someone smiled wickedly, but was glared at by Li Chengdong's eyes, "Shut up, how many times have you said it, chew your tongue and look at the place!" Report, what do you report, in case that girl is here to serve the little uncle, aren't you looking for death, hurry back to the camp, talk less nonsense in the future, remember that the trouble comes from the mouth! Li Chengdong looked at the back of the beautiful woman who had walked out of the camp and scolded in a low voice!

Of course, this beautiful girl is not a green tea, a peripheral girl, a kiln sister, but she is the thirteenth sister red lady of Causeway Bay on the green forest road, saying that this red lady was curiously fiddling with various objects in the military tent of Rwann last night, almost sleepless all night, but she still got up early in the morning, and she didn't mind that the cold air was about to go out of the camp to wander around, maybe as a free-range girl, she was suddenly locked in the palace for so many days, and she was going crazy for so many days, and at this moment, with the freedom of Rwan, she naturally had to go out quickly to breathe fresh air!

The air is cold, the heart of the red lady is hot, last night Lu Wang's subordinates chatted with her until the middle of the night, all kinds of smeared boasting made her in a state of confusion every minute, in short, in their eyes, Lu Wang is a great sage who went down to earth to save the suffering!

As a red lady who pretended to be a ghost and started out of ghosts, she naturally didn't believe it all, whether it was a fake god or a real ghost, she was confident that she would have the bottom in her heart after walking around, and the first step was to enter the city.

Lu Wang was true to his word, and gave the Red Lady great freedom, of course, it could not be complete freedom, for example, there were two personal guards ten meters behind him who were following closely, and they received only one order, as long as the Red Lady did not leave the jurisdiction of Nanyang City, do not interfere with any of her actions!

Hey, the red lady who was hurrying towards the city gate suddenly stopped, and looked in the southeast direction with a confused face, where there were thousands of people and horses in the queue for training, although they were separated by a long distance, but she could still feel the strong murderous aura, what surprised him was not the murderous aura, but that he came out to train so early, is it too exaggerated!

"Is there only such a small number of people in this city?" The red lady suddenly loosened her brows, turned to look at the two tails behind her, and asked with a slight smile!

"Less? More than 5,000 people", a guard said casually!

"Isn't it too child's play to leave only 5,000 people to guard a Nanyang City", the red lady rolled her eyes and asked!

"Haha! There are quite a few, your main force is blocked by tens of thousands of our horses in the north mountain pass, and there are also a group of 5,000 men and horses in the west mountain pass, and as for the southeast and southeast sides are areas under our control, why do you need so many people in the rear." The guards laughed!

"Aren't you afraid of a sneak attack by the rebels?" A smile appeared at the corner of the red lady's mouth! The guards replied to her without caring at all: "Sneak attack? How to sneak attack? Fly here! As he spoke, he looked at his partner next to him and laughed

The other guard also looked relaxed, "Don't think about sneaking up on you, let's be honest, these thousands of people are used to sneak attack you!" ”

"Huh? Sneak attack on the rebels? How to sneak attack? The red lady's face suddenly changed color!

"As for how to sneak attack, I don't know", the guard said with a smile, "Red lady, are you a little disappointed, you can't get more secrets out of my brothers' mouths!" ”

"Huh, is there one?" The matchmaker, who had originally changed her face, quickly smiled gracefully, "You have revealed enough, I think these are all secrets." You two are not afraid of punishment if you leak secrets? And you're not afraid that I'll run away and reveal this secret to the rebels? ”

The two guards glanced at each other, and looked at the red lady with a disdainful smile on their mouths, "It's really stupid for my brothers, although this is also a secret in the army, but it belongs to the part that can be leaked to you, and ......" The guard said with a cold look in his eyes, "We are really not afraid of you escaping, because you will definitely be killed before you escape!" ”

"Just the two of you?" The red lady is disdainful!

"Red lady, we know you're a master. With bare hands, maybe my brothers and I are not your opponents, but my young master often has a saying on his lips, that is, no matter how high his martial arts are, he is afraid of kitchen knives. Besides, my brother and I have a musket, and killing you from a hundred meters away is as easy as chopping vegetables and melons! The guards were equally disdainful on their faces!

Moreover! The red lady gave him a blank look, snorted coldly and was silent.

"Even if I give you a chance to sneak up on the two of us, you don't want to escape from the range of Nanyang City. Don't think that your own martial arts are great, to tell you the truth, there are many masters in the Huaxia army. And there are people who specialize in killing masters", just when the red lady was about to continue to enter the city, the guards behind him suddenly spoke, and his eyes looked away, and the red lady looked at it, and her brows furrowed!

Because there was a group of people about ten or so far away from her, they were really hurriedly walking towards the camp of the guards, this group of people was wearing the unique camouflage cotton uniforms of the Huaxia Army, everyone walked quickly with a gloomy face, and the eyes that occasionally skimmed over were murderous, which made people look at the sweat pores and stood up instantly, and more importantly, judging from the pace and shape of these people's walking, with her many years of experience in martial arts, she immediately concluded that this group of people really had martial arts, and there were many top masters among them, which made them immediately alert, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the two guards behind me, only to see that the two were staring at her, smiling all over their faces!

Maybe it's some telepathy, at this moment, under a hidden cliff in the camp of the thief army in the mountain pass more than ten miles north of Nanyang City, Li Yan also got up early, standing under an old tree in front of the tent with a cloak on his body, looking at the south from afar, but the weather was as gloomy as his mood, and his vision was blocked and he couldn't see far.

Compared with the impatience of the Red Lady when she was just plundered a few days ago, Li Yan is now much calmer, or numb a lot, so many days, think about the sins that the Red Lady should suffer, think about what good fate a beautiful woman can have if she falls into the hands of those officers and soldiers, and now she has either been killed or then humiliated and then escorted to Beijing to cut off her head!

Li Yan didn't think about rescuing the Red Lady, but he didn't know how to start, the rebel army was ready to arrange a big war before, no one cared about it, or no one cared about the safety of the Red Lady at all, just went through the motions to comfort him a few words and didn't take actual action, and his own existence as a military advisor was usually only to give advice, and he didn't have soldiers in his hands, but even so, he still used his connections to send a team of spies to find out the news, Knowing that Nanyang City is not broken, it is impossible to rescue the Red Lady, but he still wants the news of the Red Lady! It's best to be escorted into Beijing by the thief army, so that you can intercept people halfway!

But the living reality hit him in the face very painfully, and the team of carefully selected spies came back in only half a day, and half of the twenty people came back, and after saying a few words about the only remaining half, they also hiccuped! "The blockade of officers and soldiers is too strict, and it is difficult for birds to cross five miles outside the city!"

This reality makes it difficult for him to accept, but he also has to accept it, now the only way is as King Chuang said, as long as Nanyang City is defeated, all problems will be solved, yes, Nanyang City is now a thorn stuck in the throat, if the city is not broken, the red lady will not be able to, if the city is not broken, the righteous army will not be able to get out of the mountain, and will be blocked inside, and there will be no food and clothing, and it may even starve to death! So we must lay Nanyang and go out, the world is very big, and we all want to go out and see!

The ideal is very plump, the reality is too skinny, just when the whole army was busy arranging how to break through Huang Degong's defense line and approach Nanyang City, a heavy snow came, quietly came, everything was so without warning for two days, which made Li Zicheng and others frown!

This snow came at an untimely time, which made his plan to prepare for a counterattack have to be put on hold, focusing on sending troops into the mountains to search for grain and grass everywhere, as the weather became more and more cold, he was most worried that the snow would fall heavier and heavier, resulting in the closure of the mountain, and it would not be so easy for him to retreat to the mountains and forests! But now because of this snow, he is in a dilemma.

Fortunately, this dilemma began to open up as the snow stopped, and the heavy snow that I was worried about did not happen for days, so there is no need to worry about being blocked by heavy snow, at least not for the time being, but who knows about it in the future, so we should take advantage of the time to discuss whether to fight or quickly escape into the mountains!

"General, King Chuang wants you to go over to discuss matters!" Just when Li Yan was in a daze, a personal soldier came over and said softly

"Deliberations! Do you know what's going on? Li Yan was a little surprised, morale has been low these days, everyone is sighing, except for thinking about the generals getting together every night to drink and talk nonsense, there is nothing important to discuss, is it because the sky is sunny now, King Chuang is about to fight, thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but look up at the sky!

"I heard that it seems that the officers and soldiers came to surrender the letter, and the specific subordinates are not clear", the soldier said in a low voice, but it was like a thunder in Li Yan's ears, surrender?
