That night, several bronze lamps were lit in the General's Palace, and a huge sheepskin map propped up on the wooden frame was vividly illuminated.

On the map, it is the military terrain deployment map of the entire Phantom Spirit Country.

Wei Xiao was dressed in military uniform, pressing under the Haotian sword on his waist with one hand, holding a bronze vermilion bird lamp in the other, wandering around the map, staring at the map, as if he was contemplating something, unconsciously, there were several more leaky sounds outside, and the cold air of the winter night seemed to be heavier.

Bai Qianyu was wearing a smoky cloud gauze skirt with a black fox fur cloak on the outside, walked behind Wei Xiao, gently put a snow-white cloak in his hand on Wei Xiao's shoulder, and said softly: "It's so late, don't you sleep yet?"

"Can't sleep...... Wei Xiao came back to his senses from his contemplation, pressed one hand on the back of Bai Qianyu's hand that stayed on his shoulder, and turned around and said: "If you are sleepy, go to bed early! Tomorrow morning, we will set off!"

Bai Qianyu smiled lightly: "If you don't sleep, none of us can sleep!"

"We ......" Wei Xiao was slightly surprised, but saw Bai Qianyu pointing to the general's table.

I saw that on the general's table, a clover was lying on top of the handsome seal, and was using a leaf to support his head to nap, his head was crooked, his round mouth made a snoring sound, he touched his mouth, a drop of saliva ticked down, and he said dreamily: "Marshmallow ......"

"I'm still thinking about marshmallows in my dreams!" Wei Xiao couldn't help laughing.

"When you're done fighting, we'll take it to eat marshmallows. Bai Qianyu also smiled softly, for fear of waking up Clover.

As soon as Clover heard the word "marshmallow", he immediately woke up, looked left and right, and said, "Marshmallow!

Both looked at it and laughed.

Shamrock opened his eyes and saw them, slipped to the general's table, and with a slight stroke, jumped off the table, and the long stem jumped and jumped, and came over.

"Don't laugh!" it glared at the two people solemnly, "Okay, when this battle is over, I'll go eat marshmallows!"

Then it raised its stem long, and the two leaves lay on the sheepskin map, staring at the two round eyes, and pretending to look up and down: "Such a big map, I said Wei Xiao, when will this battle last?"

"That's not exact," Wei Xiao pointed his finger at the vermilion word "Lige" on the map: "You see, this is Lige, the capital of the Phantom Spirit Country, and in front of it, in addition to the two relatively large cities Tiying, Yongliang, and Zitong Pass, which can be used as barriers, there is only one Wuding River." ”

His finger tapped a little above the three cities, and continued to row to the north: "At present, the Chilian River has been broken by the demon army, and the demon army is divided into three routes, Chongyue led 50,000 elite cavalry, continued to march east from Weicheng, took Yongliang, Murong Chui's 180,000 army, and directly took Zitong Pass, and the general Yechen, personally commanded an army of 1.37 million, and went south along the Wuding River. ”

"As I expected, Murong Chui's troops and Yechen's troops should have marched to Ti Ying after breaking through Zitong Pass, and directly took the national capital Lige!" His slender hand was designated at the point of "Ti Ying", and paused: "Here, it is the closest to Lige, and it is also the last line of defense, if Yongliang and Zitong Pass are breached, only Ti Ying can defend!"

After he had said these words, he suddenly heard a grunt under his feet, and looked down to see that the clover had slipped off the map and fell asleep at his feet, the two blades still clinging to the boots on his feet.

Wei Xiao shook his head, bent down, stretched out a finger, hooked the stem of the clover, and hooked it off the ground, Bai Qianyu reached out to take it, and said with a smile: "I sent it to sleep, it is also tired for a day, and besides, this march and battle are only boring for it." ”

She took the clover in her hand, took it back, put it on the bed in her bedroom, pulled the futon, covered it, and then turned back.

I saw Wei Xiao still holding the lone lamp in one hand, standing in front of the sheepskin map, and a piece of oil on the lamp dripped down and dripped on his fingers, and he didn't notice it.

Bai Qianyu snatched the Vermilion Bird Lantern from his hand, held it in his palm, pinched his fingers with one hand, put it under his lips and blew gently: "Why do you think so intoxicatingly, isn't it hot?"

As soon as Wei Xiao was told by her, she was shocked to realize that her thumb was burning and hurting, and her fingers trembled slightly.

Bai Qianyu blew it for him again, and then looked up at him: "Are you better?"

"Much better," Wei Xiao withdrew his hand, and two bright flames jumped in his eyes under the candlelight: "Qianyu, thank you." ”

"Thank me for what?" Bai Qianyu coughed lightly, and two sickly blushes appeared on his pale face: "It's all because of me, otherwise you wouldn't be ......"

Wei Xiao hurriedly patted her vest: "Qianyu, how do you feel?"

"It's out of the way," Bai Qianyu waved his hand: "Let's take a look at the map together, what is the problem that plagues our General Wei who can't sleep late at night?"

She held the Vermilion Bird Lantern in both hands and brought it closer to the map: "I just looked at you, and I have been staring at this place. ”

The candle flame on the Suzaku lamp, the place where it shines, is "Zitong".

Wei Xiao frowned slightly, and said: "We only have a total of 120,000 troops in our hands now, even if we count the 50,000 more troops that the Great Si Ming said, there are only 170,000, and 170,000 against 1.3 million is to fight more with less, and the most important thing is morale, strategy, and proper scheduling." Yongliang was guarded by 20,000 soldiers led by Long Xiang Shegui, against Chongyue's 50,000 elite cavalry, Chongyue came from afar, and lost a lot of strength in the battle of Weicheng, but it was a tired army, and the victory or defeat should be in the number of five or five. And this Zitong is the key to the success or failure of the whole thing, once it is broken by Murong Chui, as soon as the demon army behind arrives, the national capital will be wide open, and the demon army will be driven straight in!"

"You mean that you will personally guard Zitong?" asked Bai Qianyu.

"Well," Wei Xiao nodded, his face solemn: "I asked General Shegui, Murong Chui was one of the three most brave generals in the Yue Clan, and there was no shortage of generals in the Yue Clan at that time, Murong Chui was as famous as the left general Xin Qingji and the right general Huang Quan at that time, but after Xin Qingji was in." Iron lock Shenjiang's defeat in the hands of Chongyue in the first battle, died on the battlefield, Huangquan left, his whereabouts are unknown, and the remaining Murong Chui was suspicious because of his heavy troops, and was squeezed out by the Yue clan nobles, so when Yechen led the army to attack the Yue Clan's Dayue Liang Kingdom, Murong Chui was angry and turned out of the Dayue Liang Kingdom, and turned to Yechen. In this way, the defeat of the Great Moon Liang Kingdom was accelerated. ”

"Murong Chui is a ranger general, it can be seen that this person is proud and loose in nature, and he is good at leading cavalry guerrilla battles, if I use 100,000 troops against his 180,000 army, the victory or defeat is still only five or five," Wei Xiao punched on the sheepskin map: "However, in this battle, I can only win, not lose, if I lose, I will die!"

Bai Qianyu held the Vermilion Bird Lantern in his hand, stood in front of the map, and pondered for a long time.

The candlelight in the room cast her shadow on the sheepskin map in front of her, stretching long.

Although she was wrapped in a black fox cloak, her figure still looked so slender.

Wei Xiao saw it and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Qianyu, go to bed early, marching and fighting is a man's business, how can you let a girl bother?"

Bai Qianyu suddenly turned around in front of the map, and his eyes were fixed on him: "If we are not sure of a strong attack, can we start with Murong Trai?"

"Qianyu, do you mean ......?" Wei Xiao said.

The light of the Vermilion Bird Lantern shone in Bai Qianyu's eyes, making her dark eyes look like a strange light: "Do you remember the corpses of those Moon Clan craftsmen floating in the river when we crossed the Chilian River? Imagine what kind of mood he felt when Murong Chui, who was also a member of the Moon Clan, led his army to walk across the pontoon bridge built by the Moon Clan's craftsmen?"

Bai Qianyu coughed lightly and continued: "Although he rebelled out of the Great Moon Liang Country, it was only because he hated the Great Moon Royal Family that turned his back on him, but all this could not change the blood that flowed in his body, which was always the blood of the Moon Clan...... When he stepped over the pontoon bridge, did he feel as if he was stepping on a bridge paved with the corpses of his own people?"

Wei Xiao's eyes gradually lit up.

"Qianyu, thank you! Tomorrow morning, the soldiers will be sent to Yongliang and Zitong Pass!"
