Five days later, when Huang Yao saw the rammed walls of stone and earth again, his scout party was in tatters.

This road can not be described as embarrassing, although Da Liu Zi used his own life to buy them a lot of time, but those Tang State scouts still chased after them, and in a few short contacts between the two sides, two of them were hit by arrows, fortunately, they were not critical parts, so they would not fall off the horse and die on the spot.

But many days of rain and fatigue of the body have crushed the fool and the old seven, just Huang Yao needs to look back, you can find that these two people are pale, their bodies are floating, they are completely relying on a willpower to hold the reins, and they may fall down at any time.

The wound temporarily wrapped in the cloth has begun to emit a stench of **, this kind of injury is very troublesome, and if it is not properly placed by the medical officer, it is only a matter of time before it is only a matter of time before it is done.

However, Huang Yao was still thinking about Da Liuzi's firm and calm back at the moment, thinking that he would go to the final battlefield, as if he was returning to a warm home, he couldn't help but feel a cramp in his abdomen, as if something was about to gush out of his chest.

He squeezed the reins hard, and as the gate opened with a bang, he saw the streets, and saw countless sergeants carrying armaments, as well as Peng Yong, the general of Yanquguan who was looking happy, let out a long breath, and when he dismounted, he found that his legs could not stand straight.

"It's good to be back. Peng Yong didn't find the figure of Da Liu Zi, and naturally knew what was going on, this is the case on the battlefield, the old pawn with the new pawn, the veteran with the new general, generation after generation continues to cycle, there will always be too many old people who have passed away, and young people will replace them in such a bloody grind.

Huang Yao gritted his teeth and arched his hand: "General, I got some news that the Tang army seems to be plotting something, and judging from their rhetoric, they are already in action. ”

Peng Yong nodded slightly, not as surprised as he was, but while instructing the medical officer to carry those people in, he then supported Huang Yao and said, "These things, there is no need to say any more, you hurry up and prepare first, and we will withdraw from the rock ditch in a while." ”

"Withdraw...... Huang Yao glared, and then he understood why the barracks seemed to be very busy today, but what he didn't understand was that the location of this rock canal pass on the border was very critical, even if the Tang army was strong, there was no need to be afraid of this, right?

Peng Yong, a veteran who has experienced a hundred battles, naturally knew that this studious young man had doubts in his heart, so he explained as he walked: "Something happened in the country, and the general and Sun Tong rebelled together. Now that the entire west is in a mess, the imperial court is worried that once the rock canal is cut off, the back road will be tantamount to a lonely city, so it is better to withdraw directly, which can not only save strength, but also prevent the armament, grain and grass from being used by the Tang army. ”

"No...... No...... Isn't it? fuck it...... Who...... Who betrayed?" Huang Yao began to speak in disarray.

Peng Yong could also understand Huang Yao's mood, when he received the news, he probably didn't feel much better than him, so he just sighed and said, "General." ”

Hearing such news, Huang Yao only thought that he was dreaming, but after repeating the question a few times, he stared at Peng Yong in shock, and his voice became weird: "The general didn't go to quell the rebellion? How could he rebel? Why did he rebel? Who said he wanted to rebel?"

A series of questions spit out from his mouth, obviously he still doubts the authenticity of this matter, after all, the political enemies of the court slandered others and plotted rebellion in ancient times, and those big families can't do anything in order to compete for power and profit?

Peng Yong was not in a hurry to let him accept it, but just shook his head: "The withdrawal is the prime minister's order, we just need to follow the order, as for what happened to the general, it is not for us to think." ”

That said, but there was still worry in his eyes.

Perhaps it is impossible for the entire Jingwu military to accept the statement of Gao Changgong's rebellion.

In the minds of the officers and men in the army, Gao Changgong is by no means an ordinary superior.

When Jing Wu was first established, he turned the tide and forced back hundreds of thousands of Tang troops with 8,000 iron horsemen, achieving the name of Jing Wu's god of war.

This major event, which has been continuously accumulated in the hearts of the soldiers, has already become a towering monument.

And his relationship with the prime minister is even more like siblings, how can such a person rebel?

Thinking of this, Peng Yong also took a deep breath and made a decision: "You take care of the injury, I want to explain one thing to you." ”

Huang Yao didn't speak, just waited quietly for Peng Yong.

"You are the nephew of General Huang, and it is more convenient than anyone else to inquire about the news, I want you to rush back to Jianye as soon as possible to see what the cause of the matter is. ”

A dark cloud is constantly condensing, it looks like it is going to rain heavily, Peng Yong looked at the cloud, I don't know if it is because he feels the coming wind and rain, and his voice has become a lot lower: "Now the military is unstable, if the matter in the country cannot be solved, I am afraid that Jingwu will have a big disaster." ”

When Gao Changgong played the banner of "being edicted by King Wu and raising troops to the side of the Qing monarch" and publicized it with great fanfare, Jianye City was also a rumor.

Over the years, the people have long been accustomed to the fact that the sky above their heads is the prime minister, and they really have no concept of the lord of the country who is only a child's age.

After all, the entire Jingwu world is thriving under the governance of Prime Minister Zhuge and the people are abundant, but now there is an edict with clothes, but the two pillars of Jingwu, Prime Minister Zhuge and the general, have become enemies, who can accept it?

In comparison, the imperial court seemed much calmer, just arrested some good deeds who spread rumors and caused trouble, and then posted a notice to define Gao Changgong's behavior as "bewitched by villains", which can be regarded as giving the people an acceptable answer in their hearts.

But then there will be a war, Jing Wu's army will fight its own people, who knows what this Jing Wu will become?

Since the establishment of Jingwu, there have been seven years of stable life, and no one will want to return to the chaotic days of the separatist struggle of the family.

"The old general has already taken out of the city. The army was busy, Abu and Qin Ke were walking on the road, and from time to time they met soldiers passing by, and most of them would salute the two.

The war was about to start, and it was the time to employ people, so the superiors naturally became generous in promoting officers, and many people were promoted because of this, and Abu's name happened to be among them.

The current Abu is already the lieutenant general of the Dianjun Army of the Jianye City Protector Army, and his rank has jumped to the fourth grade, and there is an elite battalion under his hands, which can be regarded as a new talent of the younger generation.

But obviously Abu was not very proud of this, but his face was full of sorrow, and he said in a low voice: "Zhang Mingqi followed Brother Changgong out, and the building Xiaoqian Wang Zhu and they followed General Huang again, but I can only transfer city defense in this city like a wasted person, and I don't know if I did something wrong......

"Don't say that. Qin Ke didn't think so, and said with a smile, "Cai Yan told me that the reason why you were left behind proves that you are valued enough. Jianye City is the center of Jingwu, once something goes wrong, no matter how well General Huang's side fights, it will not help, so you just need to keep your position and do what you have to do. ”

This is a heartfelt statement, Abu naturally believed Cai Yan's analysis, sighed, and had to nod.

It's just that the haze in his heart has never been able to dissipate, and his steps have become heavy.

In fact, he also knew that the biggest burden in his heart was not that he couldn't go on the expedition, but that he couldn't figure out why things had come to this point.

Gao Changgong is his most respected brother, of course he knows that he is by no means a villain who is greedy for fame and fortune, but why did he help Sun Tong to do something "Qingjun side", and even secretly communicated with Tang Guo to destroy the foundation of Jing Wu?

He went to ask Zhuge Wanling, but Zhuge Wanling didn't tell him anything, Huang Hansheng seemed to know some inside information, but he only patted him on the shoulder with comfort, and then left Jianye with an army of 100,000 on the orders of the palace.

Being protected like a child by the elders, or even concealed, is probably the most painful and helpless thing for Abu.

Qin Ke looked at Abu, and actually wanted to comfort him as much as possible, but in the end, after hesitating for a long time, he still stuffed those words back into his stomach.

"Let's hope the old general wins. Qin Ke looked ahead and said with a heavy heart, "Although I have always felt that the old general is a bit old-fashioned on weekdays, I heard that he has experienced more battles than Gao Changgong in his life, and he has the cultivation of the grandmaster realm, so he may not be defeated." ”

In fact, Qin Ke still had some reservations, because although Huang Hansheng was a master of the sect, if he really got into a fight, he would not be able to defeat Gao Changgong who was in his prime, and had already begun to climb the peak of the saint realm, but this time Zhuge Wanling told him that this time there was Luo Fengxiao with the army, and he could always suppress Gao Changgong.

Things are changing so fast, a few days ago Luo Fengyan was still an enemy, but now Luo Fengyan has become a person on their side, and wants to go with the army to "crusade" Gao Changgong, I really don't know how to comment.

"Now General Zhu Ran is in charge of Jianye?" Facing another group of soldiers with spears passing by, Qin Ke looked at their backs and asked.

"Yes, although most of Jianye's soldiers have been taken away, there are still 30,000 recruits, 5,000 forbidden troops and 3,000 Qingzhou ghost cavalry in the city, plus there is enough food and grass, and the city defense is strong, even if it is a siege of 100,000 troops, it is enough to hold on. Abu counted.

But somehow, Qin Ke remembered that the tiger's whereabouts were unknown, and thought of the curtain that seemed to have not been opened in Jianye City, and there was always a big stone in his heart that could not fall.

"I hope everything is as you say it is......"
