Chapter 57: The Next Step

The snowflakes that had been drifting for a few days had finally stopped, but the sky was still overcast, and the night was still nowhere to be seen.

Zhi Qingxun stood alone in the barracks, looking in the direction of the southern Xinjiang barracks from a distance, and unfortunately, there was no explosion she had been waiting for.

However, this was also what she expected, if the priests of southern Xinjiang were really so careless and cremated the general's body without examination, it would be not interesting.

"It's so cold, what are you doing standing here?"

Shao Yisong came from a distance and untied his big coat and draped it over Zhiqing.

Her gaze didn't move, "I'm just thinking about what the priests of Southern Xinjiang will do after this experience." ”

"If it were you, what would you do next?"

Zhiqing Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Siege." ”

"Why the next step?" Shao Yisong was puzzled, and a little annoyed why he always couldn't keep up with her train of thought.

"Because it is precisely because southern Xinjiang is running out of ammunition and food that it is at war with the Xu Dynasty."

"You mean ......"

Shao Yisong's eyes lit up, thinking that this was indeed the case.

As early as the time of the civil war, southern Xinjiang repeatedly provoked the border of the Xu-Korea, until soon after Shao Yisong succeeded to the throne, the southern Xinjiang began to launch a large-scale war against the Xu-dynasty, and before he took power, the southern Xinjiang had been at war with the Xu-dynasty for nearly seven months.

However, the population of southern Xinjiang is large, and the number of soldiers and generals is enough to nearly 500,000, and it is indeed difficult to support the rations of these 500,000 people when no one hunts and cannot grow crops.

Before his personal conquest, southern Xinjiang had never taken the border of Xuchao, and after his personal conquest, he not only increased his troops, but also increased morale, not to mention the indispensable things such as grain, grass, soldiers and horses, and weapons.

This is indeed a major blow to southern Xinjiang, and they really don't have long left.

But if Southern Xinjiang is besieging the city now, the first thing they have to cut off is the supply of soldiers and water for the Xu Dynasty.

There is no need to worry about the water source, the southern Xinjiang is in a harsh winter all the year round, snow is a common thing, the worst, it is okay to boil snow water for emergency, but the grain and grass must be strictly guarded.

The current grain and grass are enough to support the entire military camp for four months, and after the siege of southern Xinjiang, it is even more difficult to transport the grain and grass from the outside to the city.

Taking a step back, even if the grain and grass cannot be transported in three months, they can still plan to break through again, but there will be casualties at that time......

"The king doesn't believe in my future layout?"

I don't know when, Zhi Qingxun moved his gaze from the direction of Southern Xinjiang to him.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that so many people's lives are at stake, in case of failure......"

"No in case." Zhi Qingxun replied without hesitation.

"I know what the king is hesitating about, it is a fantasy for an army of 250,000 to fight against 500,000 outlaws, even if our weapons have the upper hand, but their overwhelming numbers can make up for this shortcoming, even if we win, we will kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 ourselves, besides, sacrificing one's life in war is the most normal thing, whether it is your generals in the Xu Dynasty, or the people of the ghost city, or you, me, I will be treated equally in the face of death."

Her eyes were half-closed, but her tone was very firm.

"When the king uses the dark arrow of the ghost market, you should be mentally prepared, the ghost market is a villain's behavior, and it cannot be put on the table, this fact is whether it is when taking over the business, or in the king's national affairs, this is the case, the ghost market has the means of the ghost market, you know this."

Zhi Qingxun said, slowly turned around, and looked him directly into the eyes, "I can minimize the casualties of the Xuchao generals, and I will also force the southern Xinjiang to retreat, so that they will never dare to violate the Xuchao border again, this is the promise I once made to you, and it will not change until now." ”

Shao Yisong hesitated, if this plan succeeded, the soldiers of the Xu Dynasty would indeed not have to face the battle on the battlefield, but if it failed, the Xu Dynasty might face the risk of destroying the country......

But......

"I believe in you." His voice was very soft, "Do as you say, but just in case, I'm going to leave a way for everyone to survive." ”

This is also understandable, after all, the whole country is pressed on Shao Yisong's shoulders, so naturally all the treasures cannot be pressed on this bureau.

Zhi Qingxun understood his concerns and said, "Your Excellency can rest assured. ”

Hearing her say this, Shao Yisong relaxed a little, "You always think about things so comprehensively." ”

"Calculating the life and death road and then laying it out, taking precautions will always leave a glimmer of life."

She turned around again to look in the direction of Nanjiang, Shao Yisong had to admit that in her, he couldn't see any half of the shadow of joy, but Shao Yisong was still attracted to her again and again.

Now he is strategizing and knowing the turbidity, whether it is the gentleness and gentleness of others, they are all the people he loves the most, who are better than his life......

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhi Qingxun felt his gaze, turned his face sideways and turned back and asked, "Is there anything on me?" ”

"Ha ......" Shao Yisong smiled, hugged her from behind, and buried his face in the fox fur around her neck, "I feel very surprised to see you differently." ”

Zhi Qingxun leaned his body against him and exhaled deeply, and the whole person seemed to be very tired.

In the cold winter night, the two leaned on each other, such a delicate picture, but what they discussed in their mouths was still a national affair, drawing up a battle plan, and did not return to the camp until late at night.

The howling cold wind of the hunt almost blew down the heavily armored night watchmen, and in such a place it would take two hours to change troops, and if a group of soldiers would keep watch until dawn, they would probably be frozen into icicles.

Wen Yu had just been replaced, and he was just about to go back to the camp to rest while rubbing his frozen hands, when he saw a tall man in thin clothes and a fox fur walk in not far away.

At first glance, he only felt that this person's figure was somewhat familiar, and when the person got closer, he realized that it was Satinyunchuan.

"It's been a long time since the satin boy."

Wenyu still gave him a scholarly salute, and Satin Yunchuan also returned to him with the same courtesy, the two exchanged a few words, and seeing that Satin Yunchuan was thinly dressed, Wenyu took him into the camp.

"You heard that you have been to the battlefield several times, she is very worried, and it is inconvenient to come here, so she asked her to bring some medicine for her husband to treat external injuries."

As he spoke, he took out three large and small porcelain bottles from his sleeve and handed them to Wen Yu.

"Thank you satin boy, it's just ......" Wen Yu didn't take the things, and pushed the satin Yunchuan's hand forward, "Xiaosheng has the girl's kindness, but Xiaosheng can't collect these things, I'm afraid it's a trip for the satin boy." ”

Satin Yunchuan knew what Wenyu was worried about, he said: "Although you have a fate with Youran, the friendship between friends is always there, whether it is in the next or leisurely, I hope that Mr. can make contributions on the battlefield and strive for a bright future for himself, this is not only leisurely mind, or in the next mind, please don't refuse." ”

He said these words earnestly, Wen Yu couldn't refuse, and the medicine bottle was stuffed into Wen Yu's hand.

Wen Yu looked at those medicine bottles and couldn't help but care: "Miss Lin, she ...... How are you doing? ”

But after asking, he felt that he didn't seem to be asking this question, at least not satin Yunchuan.

"Don't be surprised, Childe, it's just a ...... below"

"Why is the gentleman so out-of-this?" Sain Yunchuan patted him on the shoulder, and didn't seem to care, "As I said just now, even if you and Youran are inseparable, the friendship between you is there, and it's normal for you to care about her." ”

"Thank you for your understanding." Wen Yu replied curtly.

Listen to Sain Yunchuan again: "Don't worry, it's good to be leisurely, but I'm just a little worried about Mr., but she also said that she hopes that Mr. can break out of the world on the battlefield." ”

"I will!"

Wen Yu's tone was a little eager, this was exactly what he was hoping for, if he didn't charge into battle and win merit on the battlefield, then when would he be able to say his heart?

Therefore, no matter what kind of battle, he will accompany the army to meet the enemy, and I don't know how many scars have been left on his body in the past few days, but he has worked hard enough and is lucky enough to not suffer fatal injuries, and his body is still intact.

It's just that when he was fighting on the battlefield, he saw the people around him fall under the spears of the soldiers in southern Xinjiang one after another, or their arms or legs cut off alive, he had little time to think, so he could only use the skills he had learned in the military camp in the past few months to kill the people close to him one after another like a puppet.

When he returned to the barracks after picking up his life again, Wen Yu would think about how long he could last, but he never thought about whether it was worth it to use his life to win fame, or for him, his feelings for Miss Lin were only a part, what he really wanted to do was to keep the country and not be trampled on by foreigners.

Satin Yunchuan exchanged a few more words with him, nothing more than saying something to pay attention to safety, to repel the enemy as soon as possible, and he left after late night.

He stopped after walking a short distance, turned to look in the direction of Wenyu's tent, a faint smile on the corner of his lips, but his eyes were murderous.

Soon, Wen Yu will disappear from the sky, and no matter how much Lin Youran cares about him, it will only be in vain.

Before dawn, the soldiers on the night patrol suddenly hurriedly reported: "The king is not good, the southern Xinjiang army has been dispatched on a large scale, and it is almost under the city, it seems that they want to surround us!" ”

Hearing the news, the two people in the tent glanced at each other, and Shao Yisong said according to the plan: "Quickly tell General Zheng, General Shang, and General Zhou, and let them all come to the king's tent to see Lonely!" ”

"Yes!"

"This battle may be the biggest battle since we arrived in southern Xinjiang, the king must be careful, and also, do enough tricks to convince southern Xinjiang that we were besieged by them because we couldn't break through."

"Naturally, everything is arranged."

Shao Yisong's face was solemn, it was not difficult for him to act, but to convince the priests of Southern Xinjiang of this result, he didn't know how many soldiers' lives would have to be sacrificed......

But he had to send it on the line, and he let several generals and soldiers break through in three ways according to the plan, and he himself led an army to meet the main force in southern Xinjiang.

At some point, snow began to fall in the sky again, and jackdaws flew by with a piercing sound, and the whistling wind carried the smell of blood, sending the sound of distant killing and roaring to the back of the camp.

Zhiqing stood in the snow, looking at the sky in the distance, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
