Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Dream

The 6,000 iron cavalry led by Xiao Yu ran rampant all the way through Zhili Prefecture, which was already a big chaos, but when they were about to reach Xilingkou, they suddenly changed direction, and did not exit from Xilingkou, but went around in a circle, and went straight to Xiliangzhou by Yuzhou.

There, there were 20,000 iron horsemen led by Min Hang who were responsible for answering.

Xu Lin was only responsible for dragging Qin Zheng so that he would not send troops to intercept Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu's real return route was the farthest route into the northwest.

In the case of today's governor Fu entering Beijing, Yuzhou and other places are just left with a political envoy and a chief military officer, and the number of troops under the chief military officer in one place will not exceed 20,000, and the cavalry will not exceed 5,000.

What's more, now that Xiao Yu is still the king of Xiping County of Da Zheng on his face, Qin Zheng dares to intercept and kill Xiao Yu, and the general soldiers of Yuzhou may not dare.

For this trip to the Eastern Capital, Xiao Yu mobilized the entire Central Capital Army and most of the Northwest Army. Except for Huang Hanji and Shen Dongzan, the two troops have not been mobilized, and the rest of the troops have already attacked with the whole army. And there are three Taoist great real people around to escort him, and in the end, he even attracted the real person of the sect to take action in person, if this is not allowed Xiao Yu to return to the northwest safely, but it will really be the death of him.

In the twilight, Xiao Yu's 6,000 cavalry army officially entered the boundary of Yuzhou.

The sky was getting dark, but for this Xiao Yu personal guard, they did not dare to march at night, but considering the loss of horsepower, they still chose to set up camp.

The big tent of the Chinese army was not as luxurious as when marching on the grassland, nor as large as when attacking Xiliang, but it was slightly larger than the ordinary tent, which could be used for many people.

At this time, there were only three people in the tent, Xiao Yu, Zhuge Gong, and Zi Shuiyang.

Xiao Yu sat on the main seat, put the broken array on his lap, gently stroked the long sword that had accompanied him through countless ups and downs, and suddenly asked: "Zhuge , if the shepherd makes a desperate bet at this time and unites Houjian to attack our northwest, what are our chances of winning?"

A hint of hesitation flashed on Zhuge Gong's face, but he still replied truthfully: "If this is the case, our chances of winning will not exceed thirty percent, and the biggest possibility is that except for Xiliang and Zhongdu, the rest of the realms will all fall, and the troops on the grassland will shrink back to Wusi Yuan, so that the prince's forces will be divided into three parts, and they will be isolated." ”

Xiao Yu nodded approvingly, and agreed: "That's true, but you missed a little, people's hearts." I, or this king, the time for the establishment of this king's northwest is too short, the army is uncertain, and the people's hearts are not condensed, if it really comes to such a point, it will be reversed, and it will be lowered if it is not lowered, and then this king will not be the king. ”

Zhuge Gong was silent.

Xiao Yu put down the broken array in his hand and said, "This king must rush back to the northwest as soon as possible." ”

Zhuge Gong lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "No!"

Xiao Yu turned to Zi Shuiyang, who was closing his eyes and concentrating on the side, and said, "Although the Dao Sect may have used the flying sword to transmit the message, but this matter is too big, and I am still a little relieved. Zi Lao, I have to bother you to go on a trip and inform Lan Yu of the changes in the Eastern Capital, so that he and Xu Lin can talk about it, and prepare early. ”

Zi Shuiyang opened his eyes and said: "There must always be someone to take care of the prince, if the old man is gone, there is no one around the prince, I am afraid it is not appropriate." ”

Xiao Yu shook his head, "As long as it's not for the Immortal Escape, there are six thousand iron cavalry guards, and I will protect myself." ”

Zi Shuiyang stopped talking.

Xiao Yu waved his hand, signaling that the two could retreat.

After the two left, Moshu walked into the big tent with light steps, came behind Xiao Yu, and said softly: "Gong...... Lord, rest in peace, right?"

Xiao Yu turned his head and glanced at her, the rapid march of these days had made the girl Moshu a lot haggard, and said warmly: "It's been hard for you these days, you go to sleep first, I'll sleep later." ”

Moshu replied in a low voice.

Every time he sees the ink book, Xiao Yu will think of the time when he was in the small building near the lake, with a black tile, a white wall, a cluster of bamboo forests, a lake, and the master and servant who couldn't make a fire.

If there was no hatred on him, that time could indeed be regarded as a rare leisure time for him as an adult.

In Xiaozhu, Moshu had to handle all kinds of chores, so Xiao Yu didn't let her do any work to dress and make beds, everything was done by herself, and she wouldn't be able to handle it in the army at this time. After watching the ink book retreat, Xiao Yu extinguished the lights in the tent and sat alone in the dark.

Sometimes Xiao Yu also wonders whether it is right or wrong for him to take the ink book out of that small building and take it to the northwest where there is only wind and sand and bitter cold, after all, not everyone is a weed like himself, and he can live well wherever he puts it.

It's just that some things can't be delayed, Lin Yinping's illness is getting worse day by day, and he is no longer able to deal with all kinds of matters in the palace, and Xiao Yuyi is too small, and the others Xiao Yu can't believe it, so he can only be replaced by Moshu, the former maid.

Xiao Yu put the broken array on the table in front of him, put his hands on his knees, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

It seems to be asleep but not asleep, and it seems to be awake but not awake.

In a trance, I don't know whether it is a hundred years or an instant, I don't know whether it is a dream or reality.

Xiao Yu woke up suddenly and found that he was no longer in the big tent.

He sat on a horse, and behind him were six thousand iron horsemen, galloping over the West River Plain.

Somehow, a deep uneasiness welled up in his heart.

The feeling of uneasiness is so familiar, it's like ...... Before that incident happened seven years ago.

Xiao Yu subconsciously wanted to touch the hilt of the broken sword on his waist, but he felt empty, and suddenly remembered that he put it on the desk of the big tent.

"Lord Wang. ”

Someone spoke behind Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu suddenly turned his head and saw that the person who was talking behind him was Zhuge Gong, but somehow, Zhuge Gong's face was a little blurred.

Xiao Yu settled down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhuge Gong pointed behind Xiao Yu and said, "Governor Lin Han is here." ”

Xiao Yu looked in the direction pointed by Zhuge Gong, and there was a white line between heaven and earth rushing towards this side.

It's cavalry, white armor and white horses.

Xiao Yu was a little puzzled, didn't Min Xing come to answer, why did he change to Lin Han?

Could it be that Lin Han has different intentions?

Xiao Yu's face turned cold, his right hand clenched into a fist fiercely, and his knuckles turned white.

He hated things getting out of his control, and he hated betrayal even more.

It seems that today has taken it all.

There was a bone-chilling wind hanging on the West River Plain, and the strong wind rolled up the residual snow on the ground, and the wind and snow were like obscurity.

Xiao Yu suddenly discovered that it was spring, where did the residual snow come from?

I was supposed to go to Xiliangzhou, but how did I get to Xiheyuan?

Everything made Xiao Yu feel dizzy.

Is it a dream, or is it something like a fantasy realm?

Xiao Yu subconsciously wanted to stop the horse, and then the horse stopped.

But the white line between heaven and earth has also arrived.

is like the tide when Xiao Yu submerged Xu Lin's army.

It was only now that Xiao Yu discovered that these horsemen were not wearing white armor, but a layer of white linen cloth on the outside of the armor.

It is the same as the armor soldiers in the eastern capital.

Xiao Yu's heart suddenly swelled with unspeakable sadness.

Someone went, but I don't know who.

Maybe Xiao Yu had already guessed the answer, but he didn't want to believe it.

The reason why he was so eager to return to the northwest was not only because he was worried about the rise and fall of the herdsmen in the northeast, but also because of one person.
