It is true that the imperial court has been increasing troops around the northern border during this time, but these troops are not under unified command, and their ability to react to battle will be much worse.

And the generals that the DPRK can use at the moment are also in his mind, and it takes time to select them, so let him have this time gap to drill.

However, this time Yan Yunzhou really underestimated Li Qi, Li Qi had made people pay close attention to Li Yan since he got the news of the holy decree the day before, and he immediately reported any changes.

So after Li Yan's courtyard caught fire, the spy wanted to return to the palace from the Yuelin Palace to report, but the person was pulled by Su Qingyan's people to put out the fire, and he didn't enter the palace until the fire was small in the second half of the night.

He took Li Qi's warrant and reported it directly, and Li Qi immediately noticed that something was wrong:

"Spread the decree, block the main road from the capital to Youzhou, and escort back to the capital immediately if you encounter suspicious people."

When this holy decree came out, it was almost dawn, and Li Yan had already been running all night.

"Your Highness, do you want to rest?"

Running day and night, his legs were already tossed and unconscious, Li Yan stopped the horse, took out some snacks prepared by Su Qingyan from his arms, drank two sips of cold water, and held the reins:

"Can't rest, go quickly, change horses from the next post station, the pursuers behind should come up soon."

The fast horses who deliver the decree from the palace also take this official road, but it also takes time for the fast horse to pass the decree, and they are now racing against time.

Yan Yunzhou didn't close his eyes much this night, and in the end, he was pressed on the bed by Ning Yao, and one leg was directly pressed on Yan Yunzhou's body, preventing him from moving:

"How dare you stay up late?"

Yan Yunzhou took advantage of the situation and hugged his waist:

"I can't sleep now, Xiao Bai is by His Royal Highness's side at the moment, if he leaves the capital smoothly, he will send a letter to Youzhou with Xiao Bai, and Luo Yueli will send me a message quickly."

"It's almost dawn when the news arrives here, close your eyes."

Yan Yunzhou's hand ran through Ning Yao's long hair:

"I can't sleep at this time, this hair needs to be washed, right? It's okay at the moment, you go wash it, I'll dry it for you, huh? ”

The low tail note was very beautiful, and Ning Yi only felt a trace of numbness on his body, and he shook his hair, as if he was going to wash:

"Okay, then you wait for me."

Two quarters of an hour later, Ning Qi dragged his wet long hair directly in front of Yan Yunzhou, Yan Yunzhou prepared a long cloth towel to help him gently wipe his hair, every time Yan Yunzhou wiped his hair like this, Ning Qi was comfortably sleepy:

"Sleepy? If you're sleepy, go to sleep. ”

"No, accompany you, is Pingzhou easy to fight?"

"Pingzhou's generals are used to being arrogant and lascivious, and they are not Li Han's opponents, don't worry."

Ning Qi nodded, too, Yan Yunzhou did not go to attack Pingzhou in person, but directly gave an order to Li Han, the general of Suizhou, and it can be seen that he really did not take Pingzhou in his eyes.

Ning Ji didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, he was climbing on Yan Yunzhou's body like an octopus:

"Awake?"

Ning Qi was still a little confused, and only when he sat up did he remember something:

"Yesterday, you sent a message from Youzhou?"

Did Li Yan escape?

Yan Yunzhou sat up and shook off his arm that was numb by Ning Blame:

"I'm here, I've been out of the city last night, and I'll be able to get to Pingzhou by tonight."

This day was the last day of Yan Yunzhou's three-day deadline for Beimu and the Qiang tribe, and with the Baicheng soldier Chen Bing in their place less than 30 miles, today's answer must be in Yan Yunzhou's expectations.

It was Utohan who came, and this time along with the letter sent by the Ruoqiang royal family and their letters, and agreed to be a minister from now on, Nagong, Yan Yunzhou looked at the things in front of him to be satisfied.

This battle is finally over, Yan Yunzhou looked at the surrender book, and summoned all the generals of Baicheng to come over:

"Leave two battalions in Baicheng, commanded by Zhang Cheng, pay close attention to the movements of Beimu and the Qian, if there is any trouble, report it in time, and all the rest of the soldiers will immediately reorganize the army and go to Youzhou with this king."

Everyone in the camp is gearing up, everyone knows what they are facing when they go to Youzhou, only one person has a bitter face, that is Zhang Cheng, who was ordered to stay, a tall man's aggrieved face at the moment is like a bitter melon:

"Lord Wang, you all went to drink wine and eat meat, so you left my Lao Zhang behind to stare dryly? I'm going with you, too. ”

Ning was amused by his analogy on the side, drinking wine and eating meat? It's a shame he dared to say it.

These subordinates have been with Yan Yunzhou for some years, and he knows what everyone is good at, this Zhang Cheng may not be a resolute and brave pioneer, but when it comes to defending the city, he definitely didn't say it:

"Zhang Cheng, Baicheng is related to the stability of the rear of the army, you are the best at guarding, this king can't leave too many generals in Baicheng, and I can only rest assured if I hand over Baicheng to you."

Under this hat, all the generals were persuading him:

"Yes, Lao Zhang, you have to take it in, or the brothers will suffer from the enemy."

"I'm relieved only when Brother Zhang is behind."

This hat and a rainbow fart made Zhang Chengdu float a little:

"Cheng, Lord Wang, don't worry, there will be no loss in handing over this White City to me, and I will not let go of a single soldier."

Yan Yunzhou nodded, but still opened his mouth to instruct:

"Don't take the initiative to start friction, if there is any change, report it immediately."

"The last will obey."

At this moment, the entire battalion has already moved, the baggage, grain and grass have been transported to Youzhou a few days ago, and even the infantry has left part of it in advance, and today it is almost all cavalry, and it is relatively easy to organize the army.

Ning Qi also packed and transported his bottles and cans to Youzhou with the Qingyang Dao people two days ago, and two hours later, the army had been assembled, and Ning Qi followed Yan Yunzhou to the frame that had been sitting on several times.

"When can we get to Youzhou?"

"Rest for two and a half hours tonight, and tomorrow morning will be early."

After Yan Yunzhou got on the car, he leaned on the side of the carriage, and Ning Ji looked at his face:

"Are there any chest tightness these days? Still hurting in the chest? Don't hide it, be honest with me. ”

"It's much better, my chest doesn't hurt anymore, and I don't feel stuffy anymore, but I'm a little stuffy when I'm tired occasionally."

Ning Ji checked the two wounds on his body, which had basically healed completely, and there were no symptoms of inflammation, and he had also been observing Yan Yunzhou's condition:

"The situation of pneumonia should be much better, but this pneumonia is damaged to the lungs after all, and your lungs can't be compared with ordinary people."

He can't take a film here, and he can't feel the condition of Yan Yunzhou's lungs more intuitively, so he can only roughly judge it by his symptoms.

Yan Yunzhou was already very satisfied:

"It's already good, I never thought it would be so easy on my body before."

Ning is a doctor, so he naturally knows how uncomfortable Yan Yunzhou's previous symptoms were:

"If you don't want to be so uncomfortable, take care of your body."

"Okay, I know."

Yan Yunzhou seemed to have something to say, and some wanted to say something, but in the end he still spoke:

"Yu'an, after the Battle of Pingzhou, the imperial court will completely react, the battle line will advance to the south, and the conditions on the march are not as good as before, I want you to stay in Youzhou."

When he heard his words, Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, and reacted to what he meant, they were rebelling, and they must be to capture the capital, unlike the previous Beimu and the Qian tribe attacking them to defend, this time they are the attacking side, and they must not have the kind of stable life that lives in the city every day.

"You're going to be separated from me?"

Yan Yunzhou's voice was a little difficult:

"I don't want to part with you, but the march is hard, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield."

If he could, he was naturally reluctant to part with Ning Qi, but Ning Qi had never practiced martial arts, and this time in the southern expedition, they were likely to fight on the road, how could he rest assured that Ning Qi would follow?

Ning Yi stared at him and said directly:

"You're afraid I'll be a liability?"

"Nonsense, how could I have said that."

Is he afraid that he will become a burden?

Ning is not an impulsive person, he still spoke after thinking about it again:

"I still have to follow you, in the army, I will treat the wounded in time, improve the survival rate of soldiers, and it will also be good for you to fight."

But this time, Yan Yunzhou was resolute, and his voice was a little anxious:

"No, Yu'an, you are obedient, fighting in the army is not a joke, there are still military doctors in the army, you stay in Youzhou."

He didn't dare to think about what he would do if there was a one. But Director Ning is quite rebellious, and Yan Yunzhou's tone obviously made him a little unhappy:

"Lord Wang, are you ordering me?"

Yan Yunzhou looked at him a little helplessly:

"It is impossible for the wounded soldiers to be taken all the way, they will be sent back to Youzhou to recuperate, and you can treat the wounded if you stay in Youzhou." 、

There was a fire in Ning Yao's heart, could it be that he went just because of the wounded?

"The wounded can come back to recuperate, and the person who should go back to recuperate the most is you, you have gone out to fight with this body, where am I worse than you?"

Hearing this, Yan Yunzhou still spoke rationally:

"You need to ride a horse on the march, your riding skills are still poor, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and you have no experience."

After he finished speaking, Ning Yao's expression had already cooled, and he immediately took the cloak that he had just taken off, and was about to open the door of the carriage directly, but was quickly pulled by Yan Yunzhou:

"Yu'an, what are you doing?"

Ning Ji turned to look at him, his expression was also a little cold, and he forcefully pulled his hand out of Yan Yunzhou's hand:

"Didn't the prince say that I was not good at riding? Now this horse is ready-made, if you don't practice now, when will you practice? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Yan Yunzhou's stopping, he jumped directly from the car, and this action was startled:

"Ning Gongzi, why did you come out?"

"Find me a horse, I'll ride."

Dark Xuan was stunned for a moment, it seemed that there were no idle horses, only Yan Yunzhou's mount was empty, Ning Qi also saw it, he went over and touched the horse's head, and stepped on it directly.

Yan Yunzhou rubbed his eyebrows in the frame and lifted the sedan curtain, but he only had time to see Ning Ji beating the horse's buttocks, and he was not at ease:

"Dark Xuan, you follow him."

"Yes."

I have to say that horseback riding on this cold day is not and a very beautiful experience, although it is almost April, but the weather in the north has not warmed up, and it is only better than winter, the spring is cold, and the wind is still cold on the body.
