The carriage slowly left Yingchuan County.

Lu Jiangnan said to Shen Jin'an: "I thought you would kill those two people. ”

Shen Jin'an smiled without squinting: "Although Kang Gui is a person who opens his mouth to be benevolent and moral, and closes his mouth to be moral and benevolent, I also think he is very annoying, but there is one sentence that he can be regarded as right." ”

"What?" Lu Jiangnan asked curiously.

Shen Jin'an looked at the city gate that had gradually disappeared and said slowly: "I am the prince of Beiyan, not the prince of Huayang, and it is indeed inconvenient for me to make some troubles." ”

"So you asked Li Wei to press Kang Gui and that recommender to go to the imperial city?" Lu Jiangnan said hatefully: "It's a pity that he was so angry, he just broke his legs, and his father was able to leave him an inheritance, which can be regarded as giving him a good ending." ”

Shen Jinan said thoughtfully: "There are eggs under the nest, some things are like bowstrings, the fuller you pull, the faster it may eject." ”

"You're vicious." Lu Jiangnan seemed to think of something and said in a daze: "A well-fed duck is gone, can you make sure that Huangyan is not a duck with an empty stomach?" ”

Shen Jinan shook his head: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and it takes a long time to see people's hearts, do you say it, my lady." ”

Shen Jin'an, who had just pretended to be normal for only a stick of incense, once again recovered his squishy appearance, and came over with a shyness on his face.

"Give... I... Get lost... Open. Lu Jiangnan scolded.

It's just that this time there is no indifference in the voice of the reprimand.

The summer of the thirty-seventh year of Dongyang.

Northern Xinjiang, which has been truces for a long time, suddenly attacked Huayang, trying to cross the Tianshan Mountains and attack Huanglong from the Hetao Plain, but after being discovered by the scouts guarding Xishu and Southern Xinjiang, the Huayang Dynasty sent iron cavalry to consolidate the Hetao fortress first, and the war was about to break out, but this time what everyone didn't expect was that the northern Xinjiang was unusual, sending troops from Hetao, not from Northern Yan.

The scorching sun is scorching, it has been nearly three dog days, every grass and tree on the meridian pass has long been cut down, only the chirping sparrows are left to bounce on the ground, and the uniform patrol team is guarding back and forth between the barracks, they have insufficient food, grass and ordnance, and now they only rely on this slightly terrain hillside to block the enemy army, the time and the people are not on their side, it may be that God has mercy on them, so this mountain has become the last natural barrier for them to hinder the iron hooves of the northern frontier. And Huayang's reinforcements, who should have been supported five days ago, have not been seen for a long time.

"This gang of mischievous people in the military department, every time they fight, they are slow to act, they only know that they spend all day drinking, drunk and drunk, how can they care about our life and death, and when I see them, I will use this knife in my hand to cut out their hearts and lungs to see how many hearts they have." Chen Dan, the commander of the guards, said indignantly. It is well known in the military camp that he fought bravely, and in the three or five sneak attacks secretly launched by the barbarians in Northern Xinjiang, he has cut off the heads of eighteen elite horsemen in Northern Xinjiang, which is known as the trump card in the elite of Northern Xinjiang.

"Your broken knife may have broken down by cutting watermelons now. It is too expensive to send it to the back kitchen of Cuihong Courtyard to be used as a kitchen knife there," Scout Wei Ming said, for soldiers like them, tomorrow's sun is particularly luxurious, especially in this case, five hundred against three thousand, they are likely to die here. Now the atmosphere is solemn, and a fight or two is needed to ease the atmosphere.

"What is the situation in the camp now," Chen Dan said expressionlessly.

"Not good, the biggest threat we face now is the 3,000 cavalry in the northern frontier, including 500 Wind Resisters, we have been holding out for more than three days from the scheduled deployment, and this time it is all due to the terrain to delay. I'm afraid it's not good to wait like this. Deputy General Liu Song opened his mouth slowly, and the fierce battle on his face for two or three days made the Confucian general's eyes no longer have the usual elegant temperament, but instead showed a difficult look on his face.

Seeing Chen Dan's worried look, Liu Song opened his mouth to relieve the pressure and said: "We are not in a desperate situation at the moment, at least we are still talking, and none of us are saying that we want to escape." ”

"It's kind of wronged for them." Chen Dan said.

Just when the two were silent, Deputy General Liu Song said: "I have a good idea, maybe it can temporarily relieve the pressure on us here?" ”

"Say it quickly." Chen Dan immediately waved his hand.

"The northern frontier didn't seem to be in a particularly hurry to advance this time, as if it was telling us that they were going to fight again. This period of attack is even more pretentious, I estimate that they should have other ideas, I think so, take a group of brothers to rob the camp, one is to strengthen their morale, and the other is to be able to touch their reality. Liu Song said cautiously.

Chen Dan thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "This is a good note, but I'm worried..."

"Worried about what?"

"This time, if we encounter an ambush, we can't help, I'm afraid we will die."

Liu Song seemed to have expected this situation for a long time, and clapped his hands outside the tent.

More than 20 veterans hula hula rushed up at once.

"I'll go! I would like to lead the army there"

"The last general has already died once in Lei'er Fort, and the general pulled me out of the dead crowd, since I am still alive, it means that Lord Yama will not accept me first."

"Chang Chun, Qi Bing, you two are fighting with me, a man and a low-class cavalryman, General Chen, I'll go," Sima Lida, who had just been promoted to the commander of the battalion with six heads in Northern Xinjiang, said.

Chen Dan raised his head and swept over the generals, with a difficult look on his face: "In this battle, you can't move too many people and horses, it is easy to arouse suspicion, and the mountains and forests are not conducive to cavalry raids, in case something happens..... It's just that I'm afraid that I will already be surrounded by groups by then, and I will die for life. ”

Chen Dan's every word felt like a heartache, but he knew that in the long run, it could only be so.

Chen Dan, who originally thought that it would make everyone lose confidence, did not expect that these words were like a bowl of hot water being poured into a hot oil pot.

"Big brother, let's go" Wei Ming said unhurriedly: "I'll go, my two sons, our family's incense can't be broken." ”

Facing everyone's squeaky chatter, Chen Dan had to reluctantly squeeze out a smile and said, "Okay, okay, don't earn it, before dusk, I will tell you the list, now let's go back first." ”

Hearing this, everyone scattered one after another, leaving only Chen Dan with a big face.

Liu Song broke Chen Dan's thoughtful look and whispered to Chen Dan: "I'll go to the camp this time, you stay here to command." ”

Hearing this, Chen Dan stiffened up and said: "No, no, this is not good, it's not that I look down on you, you can't do anything if you go, you are a scholar, this kind of thing of fighting and killing is more suitable for a rough person like me to do." ”

Liu Song didn't elaborate, but just named me slightly: "Are you still worried about me because I am from Beiyan?" ”

Chen Dan's face was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly shook his head and said, "No, how is it possible?" We're rolling from the tip of the knife together. ”

"Then there is no need to say more, it is enough to have your words." Liu Song patted Chen Dan on the shoulder, and his tone was also a little heavier.
