Chapter 62 Ambush
The night, the silence is deep, the silence is terrible. The long, high-pitched voice of the watchman echoed through the streets after the curfew in the capital.
Chu Lian was locked up in the queen's bedroom and couldn't sit still. Think about yourself and read history books extensively, and you can read the past and the present. But there is really nothing that can be done in the face of this locked question.
At this time, Chu Lian had already given up shouting, and he knew that Bai Yalian would not care.
Chu Lian sat on the bed, staring at the moonlight outside the window alone until dawn.
…………
In Linjun in the north, the sky is a little gray and bright. Although it was already spring, the night in the north was still very cold, and the Qi soldiers who were ambushed at the three forks endured the biting cold without complaining.
The fog shrouded the entire grassland, and the visibility was extremely low, but the elite sentinels of the Qi State still found a sound of dozens of horsemen and horses in the vast dense fog.
"Report to the general, I found the soldiers of the Northern Desert, galloping in the direction of the Northern Desert." Sentinel Watch immediately reported the observed situation to Yuan Hao.
"How many?" Yuan Hao was awakened by the sudden hostility.
"About twenty or thirty horses." The sentry replied.
"Report again!" Yuan Hao did not immediately order an attack, but chose to wait and see.
"What does General Sui think?" Yuan Hao asked Sui Liming a little jokingly.
"This is just the vanguard of the Northern Desert. If you don't fight, you won't be able to, what we want is most of the troops in the Northern Desert. Sui Liming knew that Yuan Hao was trying to make him make a fool of himself, and said slowly.
"It seems that General Sui is really proficient in the art of war!" Yuan Hao felt from his heart that this Sui Liming was not an ordinary person.
"I've only been with His Royal Highness for a long time, and I just know some fur, but it's not as experienced as General Yuan!" Sui Liming said coldly.
Yuan Hao didn't say anything, and the two secretly watched the dozens of horsemen and horses in the Northern Desert cross the three forks.
Seeing that those people had all crossed the river, Sui Liming beckoned to a soldier beside him and said, "You ride back on a fast horse and tell the Third Highness that the vanguard of the Northern Desert has begun to cross the river!" ”
"Yes, the little ones are going!" The soldier agreed.
"Remember, be careful on the road, and don't let Bei Mo know that there are ambushes here!" Sui Liming admonished.
In the Linjun County Lord's Mansion, Chu Jiechen stared at the map of Linjun in a daze.
"Your Royal Highness! General Sui asked the little one to bring you a message! A soldier said respectfully to Chu Jue in front of the door.
Hearing this, Chu Jiechen was excited and asked, "What words?" ”
The soldier told Chu Juechen what Sui Liming wanted him to relay. Chu Jiechen was very happy when he heard it.
Chu Juechen was about to say something to the soldier, when he saw another soldier hurriedly break into the county lord's mansion: "Tell the Third Highness!" The entire front has encountered a large-scale attack by the Northern Desert, and Lord Hu has already led the generals to fight against the enemy! ”
Chu Juechen smiled secretly in his heart: "Okay! It seems that he can't help it when he is in the north of Hao Mingshi! ”
"Go back quickly and tell General Yuan that you must wait for a good time and strive to achieve the greatest results! Whatever happens here, don't care! Chu Juechen ordered the soldiers sent by Sui Liming.
Gu Ruoyu was really bored in the Qin Mansion, so Qin Zhengyang arranged for someone to send Gu Ruoyu to Chaoyang Palace to accompany Qin Liusu.
"Senior sister, I seem to have done something!" As soon as she saw Qin Liusu, Gu Ruoyu said to Qin Liusu aggrievedly.
"What's wrong? Girl? Qin Liusu couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at Gu Ruoyu's aggrieved appearance, so he asked lovingly.
So Gu Ruoyu told Qin Liusu everything that happened yesterday afternoon.
"I just want to go shopping with Wang Baiyi, and Brother Qin is so gentle to me, that's why I disguised Brother Qin as his!" Gu Ruoyu whispered, "I really don't know what his identity is!" ”
"You've given your heart to others, and you don't know what their identity is?" Qin Liusu blamed, "After the master died, you didn't come to me, but it was good, it's like a bird running around except for a cage, and I don't know who to provoke!" ”
"Senior sister, I know it's wrong!" Gu Ruoyu looked at her toes, lowered her head and said.
"Forget it, fortunately there were no consequences, otherwise you would be a sinner of Daqi!" Qin Liusu glared at Gu Ruoyu and gritted his teeth and said.
"Huh? It's so serious! Gu Ruoyu asked in surprise, "What are you doing?" ”
Qin Liumo glared at Gu Ruoyu, gritted his teeth and said to her, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" ”
"If you don't ask, don't ask! Anyway, I'm not from Qi country. What happens in Qi has nothing to do with me! Gu Ruoyu retorted.
Qin Liumo suddenly thought that Gu Ruoyu was originally the daughter of Gu Feng, a military general of Qi State, because she offended the king of Chen Guo and was beheaded all over the house, the master happened to travel here back then, and saw Gu Ruoyu very pitiful, so he rescued her and brought her back.
"You are from Chen Guoren, so have you studied secret arts?" Qin Liusu suddenly remembered that the half volume almost asked for Qin Liumo's prescription, so he asked.
"Nope!" Gu Ruoyu said to Qin Liusu with some sadness, "I just soaked in medicine primers when I was a child, and I was about to start studying when I was beheaded by the whole family!" ”
"Do you know soul control?" Qin Liusu asked.
"That is the first secret technique of the Chen Kingdom, and it is said that all the prescriptions have been destroyed by the Chen Kingdom's royal family!" Gu Ruoyu took out all the knowledge he learned at home when he was a child, "This soul control technique can control people, and people who cultivate properly can control many people at the same time." ”
"The person who created this secret technique knew that this technique was extremely harmful to the appointment of the state, so he took the prescription and lived in seclusion in the mountains, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the greed of human nature and attracted the disaster of death." Gu Ruoyu said.
"It seems that our Miss Gu has seen a lot!" Qin Liusu said jokingly.
"This is like a story in Chen Guo, children know whether it is good or not!" Gu Ruoyu said with disdain.

"Tell the two generals, His Royal Highness has an order, so that the two generals must see the opportunity and strive to maximize the results of the battle!" The soldier sent by Chu Jiechen said.
"I just heard the sound of rushing and killing, it was very intense, is there another war on the front line?" Yuan Hao asked.
"Tell the general, for some reason, the Northern Desert suddenly attacked on all fronts, and it was very fierce." The herald replied to Yuan Hao.
Hearing this, Yuan Hao immediately shouted: "I have long said that this is Beimo adjusting the troops, and now I don't hurry back to the rescue!" ”
"Your Highness has one more order." The herald continued, "No matter what the fighting is on the front line, no rescue is allowed, only waiting here. ”
"General Yuan, Your Royal Highness has an order, don't go back!" Sui Liming said on the side.
"Why should the Third Highness be so stubborn! He doesn't worry about their Chu family's country, I'm still afraid of being a slave to the country! Yuan Hao was furious and shouted, "I'm going to go today!" ”
"General Yuan, is this going to disobey?" Sui Liming scolded angrily.
"No matter what you say, I'm going back to the rescue today, my wife and children are still in the city!" Yuan Hao shouted and said, okay, his hand moved to the side of the sword.
Sui Liming did not show weakness, and clenched the sword in his hand tightly.
"Report to the general, discover the enemy!"
Just as Sui Liming and Yuan Hao were tense, the sentry reported.
"What hostility?" Yuan Hao turned around and asked.
"I found a large number of Northern Desert troops coming this way." The sentry replied.
"How many people?"
"It's dense, and the number of subordinates is not clear!"
Hearing this, Yuan Hao felt a little weak, could it be that Chu Juechen was really like a god? So he lowered his voice and asked Sui Liming: "According to General Sui's opinion, what should I do?" ”
"Don't worry, let me see first!" With that, Sui Liming walked into the sentry post.
Seeing that the army of the Northern Desert was densely packed, people crowded with people, and horses crowded with horses.
"What does General Sui think?" Yuan Hao asked.
"Hit!" Sui Liming only squeezed out this sentence, but it was sonorous and powerful.
"Wait until they have just crossed the river before attacking, and try to eat them in one wave!" After Yuan Hao heard Sui Liming's words, he ordered, "Sew up your mouth, and don't allow the slightest sound." ”
These three forks are the slowest part of the river and the only way for the withdrawal of troops from the Northern Desert. However, due to the long-term accumulation of sediment in the river, the riverbed is very soft, so the horses are only very careful when crossing the river
Yuan Hao and Sui Liming lay in the grass and observed the movements of the Northern Desert army.
"Archer prepare!" Yuan Hao saw that the Northern Desert Army had begun to cross the river. So he ordered.
"Put!"
Yuan Hao gave an order, and a rain of arrows flew towards the Northern Desert army. Because the Northern Desert army had no defense, it was killed and wounded by this rain of arrows.
"Get on the horse! Kill! ”
Suddenly, the Northern Desert army array was disrupted, and Sui Liming and Yuan Hao led everyone to rush to kill.
••••••
Sui Liming looked at the battlefield full of wolf smoke, blood and corpses everywhere. He seemed to have seen the days when he was in Liao, and all he saw every day was blood and corpses, and he fought just to survive.
"Tell the eldest prince that there is an ambush at the three forks, and the first batch of soldiers who crossed the river have almost all died!" A wounded soldier rushed into Bei Haoming's tent and said.
"What? Ambushes? Bei Haoyuan slapped the table and shouted, "The one who took the lead is Chu Juechen?" ”
"One of the people who took the lead is Yuan Hao from Lin County, and there is another villain I don't know, but it's definitely not Chu Juechen!"
"Big brother, if it weren't for that Chu Juechen, I would be completely sure that I would be able to wipe them all out!" Bei Hao Yuan said to Bei Hao Ming.
Bei Hao Ming was very relieved of his younger brother, as long as it wasn't Chu Juechen, he was completely sure that Bei Hao Yuan would definitely be able to repel them.
"Okay, I only have 10,000 soldiers left, I will send them all to you now, and you must repel the ambush!" Bei Hao Ming said to Bei Hao Yuan.
Taking advantage of the break in the battlefield, Yuan Hao asked Sui Liming: "Why can the Third Highness judge that the Northern Desert will withdraw within three days!" ”
Sui Liming didn't know how to answer, he couldn't tell him about the queen, there would be a big mess!
"The Third Highness has his own thoughts of the Three Highnesses, how can we guess it!" Sui Liming prevaricated.
"Tell the two generals, the Northern Desert army is here again! This time it was Bei Haoyuan, the second prince of the Northern Desert, who led the team! ”
