Before Yun Yao could react, she saw the soldiers of the battalion finish counting and follow behind An Huai.

Gu Qingming now has no official or position, and he is only a military advisor in the army, not to mention, he is not suitable to appear in front of people for the time being, so the battle with Ge Shu is crazy, and An Huai will lead the troops.

This time, there was no intrigue, no skill, just real fighting.

Daning wants to hold Chicheng, and can't let Beidi cross the Lei Chi step, which means that Daning's soldiers have to go out of the city to meet the battle every time, and they can't rely on the solidity of Chicheng to defend it. After all, no matter how strong the city is, there will eventually be flaws, and if the Beidi people discover the flaws in Chicheng, then Chicheng will not be able to keep it.

The snow in the north was blowing one after another, and there was no intention of stopping for a moment, which was even more cruel and cruel than the year when Yun Yao was punished for kneeling.

The goose feather snow swirled down in the air, fell to the ground, and did not melt, and soon spread a layer of frost on the ground, and the eyes were full of desolation.

The drums of war sounded, and I don't know who gave the order first, but in the blink of an eye, the soldiers and horses of the two sides were already fighting together.

Under An Huai's command, 100,000 northern troops took the lead, and 100,000 southwest garrisons followed, cooperating with tacit understanding to impact Beidi's formation. And on Beidi's side, with Ge Shu's crazy command, it was obviously a lot higher than Tu Wuhan, and he was no longer easily defeated by Daning.

With a single sword, bright red blood sprayed out, and fell to the ground along with the white snow, blending into a shocking color.

However, the snow in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, and soon the color of Fang Cai's blood was obscured, but above the white snow, a new red color was fainted.

In this way, layer after layer, white snow and red blood, intertwined with each other, dyed into a tragic picture in the golden iron horse. One soldier after another fell, Daning's, or Beidi's......

The flag avoids the sky, and the sound of killing shocks the sky.

"In the past few years, he has never fought against Ge Shuma, and his methods are the same as back then. Gu Qingming stood on the city tower, looking at the scene on the battlefield condescendingly, and sighed in his heart.

He was not wearing the blue robe that Su Ri liked, and his face was also covered with a mask of half a cowhide, no matter how much the Beidi people looked at him, it was impossible to know.

Yun Yao stood beside him, listening to this, and sighed slightly: "In this battle, there are more dead and wounded soldiers than the previous ones combined. ”

"The horse leather shroud is the deepest yearning in the hearts of every man on the battlefield, and they are all heroes of Daning. Gu Qingming's eyes flashed slightly, and he said so.

Just like the Gu family, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren will contribute this blood to this cold and cruel land.

The situation on the battlefield seems to be still stalemate, with half of the winners and losers, and Beidi also has the intention of retreating. But this is not because Daning won, on the contrary, because neither side can win the other, so I don't want to waste time so much.

Yun Yao knew from General Xu earlier that this battle must not be easy, and she was mentally prepared, so the moment General An led the troops into the city, she turned around and went downstairs and devoted herself to her work.

Gu Qingming was still standing on the city tower, looking at the back of the Beidi army leaving, his face gradually became serious, as if he had discovered something.

But for a moment, the picture I just saw disappeared again, leaving only the tide-like Beidi army.

The snow was still falling, and there was no intention of stopping, and the bodies of many of their compatriots were buried in the snow, revealing a corner of their armor, proving that they were once alive.

This battle was the first battle after Geshu arrived at the border, and it was also a tentative battle.

Although it was tragic, it also gave the two sides a general understanding of each other's troop estimates and battle conditions, and also added some criteria for judgment for the subsequent war. At least Daning's side came to the conclusion that Geshu was not as useless as Tu Wuhan.

When night fell, the snow on the ground shone brightly in the clear moonlight, but no one had the heart to enjoy such a snowy scene, because it was not until the end of the day that all the wounded soldiers were disposed of.

Yun Yao's plain long dress was also stained with blood and dust, and when she finished the last soldier in her hand, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then returned to her tent.

"Qingming, what's wrong?" Yun Yao walked in, the smell of blood on her body mixed with the cold wind blowing in outside, making the tent change a smell.

"A-Yao, I want to visit the Beidi military camp. When Gu Qingming saw Yun Yao, he spoke, his tone was firm, not to discuss, but to inform.

The blood on Yun Yao's face faded in an instant: "Why? Isn't Brother Shu crazy your old opponent? Why do you still risk your life?"

"It's not Goshu. Gu Qingming shook his head and explained.

He knew that Yun Yao was not an ordinary boudoir woman, as long as he said the reason why he had to go, she would not stop him even if he was worried.

As the first general of Beidi, Ge Shu Madness became famous earlier than Gu Qingming, as early as when Gu Yanfeng was guarding the northern border, Ge Shu Madness was Daning's enemy.

Since Gu Yanfeng died in battle, Gu Qingming inherited his father's will, guarded the northern border, and fought with Ge Shu Crazy no less than dozens of times, the two of them had their own wins and losses, but Gu Qingming won more and lost less, and as long as Gu Qingming guarded it, even if it was Ge Shu Mad, he never crossed the border between the two countries and took the next step in the south.

Therefore, for Gu Qingming, what he was worried about was not Ge Shu Madness, but the man who appeared next to Ge Shu Madness that he saw on the city tower during the day.

The man's figure only appeared for a moment, and then he blended into the Beidi army, making Gu Qingming almost think that he was hallucinating. But even for a moment, Gu Qingming couldn't be careless and let it go.

And this mysterious man is the Beidi killer who appeared in Ji'an County in the past and took the lead in assassinating Gu Qingming and Yang Hao.

When Gu Qingming went to Ji'an County to control the water, the assassin appeared frequently on a stormy night, and finally even injured Gu Qingming with a bow and arrow smeared with poison, and Gu Qingming also gave the final blow with all his strength when the man left, so that the man was also seriously injured.

But speaking of which, the arrow that Gu Qingming threw out, after all, was not shot with a bow and arrow, and it was still a little weaker in the end, so that person's injury should be lighter than Gu Qingming's.

Gu Qingming still remembered that when he asked about the identity of the man, the man said something like this: "If you can return to Daning Capital alive this time, we will meet again." ”

"Is it the one who hurt you?" Yun Yao asked after listening to Gu Qingming's words.

"Yes, it seems to be him. At the beginning, I suspected that his status in Beidi was not low, but I never knew what his identity was. If he came to the army this time, it would have been for me. Perhaps, the news of my time in Akagi has already leaked. Gu Qingming nodded and said.

"However, in your more than 20 years of life, you have never been so seriously injured. The only time, it was in his hands, and I was really worried that it was a trap......"

"But I have to go, that person is so strong in martial arts that maybe only I can compete with him. Perhaps I should pray now that he would not expect me to visit the enemy camp. Gu Qingming was very persistent, "Ah Yao, whether it is a trap or not, I have to find out what conspiracy Beidi has." ”

The weather is getting colder and colder, which is becoming more and more unfavorable to the officers and men of Daning, especially the soldiers of the southwest garrison. If Beidi Tie is determined to fight a protracted war with Daning, Daning will not necessarily have the advantage.

For the sake of Chicheng, for the tranquility of the border, and for the countless compatriots who died on the battlefield, Gu Qingming must go, this is his responsibility and obligation as the god of war in Daning.

The people gave him an expectation, and he could not fail it.

"I'm waiting for you to come back in Akagi. Yun Yao knew that he had made up his mind, so he could only back down, "Qingming, you must live." ”

"Rest assured. Gu Qingming solemnly promised to hold the woman in front of him tightly in his arms.

Early the next morning, Gu Qingming summoned General An, General Li and General Xu, told them the usual tricks of Ge Shu, and explained the method of breaking the enemy, and then said goodbye to Yun Yao, left Chicheng, and disappeared.

No one knew how he went to the Beidi military camp, and no one knew when he would come back, Yun Yao stood on the city tower, looking at the white snow that was blowing one after another, looking at the distance in the north, praying for Gu Qingming in his heart, praying that he would be safe.

Akagi in December, cold to the bone.

After the previous battle, Beidi seemed to be quiet, as if some conspiracy was brewing, and Daning did not relax his vigilance because of this tranquility, and the three generals took turns to defend and consolidate the defense left by Gu Qingming.

On the third day of Gu Qingming's departure, Yun Yao received a letter from Gu Chen again, saying that he already had a clue about Lu Yingquan and seemed to be going to Ruiguo, and he was about to follow the clue to find it, please Yun Yao don't worry.

This is probably the best news Yun Yao has received in the past few days.

On the one hand, they are good sisters who support each other all the way, and on the other hand, they are unswerving lovers who live and die. Originally, he planned to wait for the war in Beidi to be resolved, so he and Gu Qingming went south to find Lu Yingquan, but they didn't expect that Gu Qingming also went to Beidi alone.

Fortunately, Gu Chen already has news of Lu Yingquan, and she can stay here with peace of mind and wait for Gu Qingming to come back.

A few days later, Yun Yao was grinding medicinal herbs in the tent, when suddenly a gust of wind blew in, and when he looked up, he saw General An and the three of them coming in together, still holding a secret letter in their hands.

"Miss Yun, General Gu has a letter back, you can take a look. General An handed the secret letter in his hand to Yun Yao and said.

Originally, Yun Yao was not qualified to read the secrets in the army, but Gu Qingming mentioned Yun Yao in this letter, so the three generals summed it up and decided to show it to Yun Yao. After all, this matter is not something that they can solve with these rough people, their task is to fight a war and defend the country.

As soon as Yun Yao heard that it was Gu Qingming's letter, she immediately threw down the Chinese medicinal materials in her hand, took the letter, and hurriedly read it. But the more she looked, the paler her face became, and the shock in her heart was incomprehensible.

How could it be...... Such?

"Now that the facts have been ascertained, why didn't he come back?" Yun Yao asked after reading the letter.
