One hundred and thirty-one: Marching in the snow, evaporating from the world
Chapter 131
"Is there any news of Qu'an?" Yu Wenxiao looked at the troops in the distance.
"No," Ubunsuke shook his head.
Ever since Qu Mansion was burned down by a fire, everything about Qu An seemed to have been erased by something, and no one knew about him.
"What about Qu'an's henchmen, what can you learn from them?" Yu Wenxiao's eyes couldn't tolerate sand.
"The Man in Black had found Qu'an's escort in the labyrinth, but the group disappeared after the labyrinth disappeared... Along with Qu An's news, there is no follow-up..."Yuwen Fuchang let out a sigh.
"Anyway, my Yuwen Clan's illusion can't be comprehended for the time being. Yu Wenxiao raised his eyes to the sky, and a thin piece of snow fell on his face, and then melted into water droplets, which then slid down his cheeks, looking like Yu Wenxiao was crying.
It snowed again in Guangyang City, and the snow fell one by one like dandelion flowers.
"People say that Ruixue is a good year, this year I lost two counties in a row in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I thought that the widow had won Qu Gong, but I didn't expect that he had already thought of a way out, it was really a thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred self-losses..."
"Brother Wang, don't worry too much, since we have negotiated an alliance with Shu, with the containment of Shu, we can move Langya State. ”
"Let's wait for the spring of next year, Zhou at this time really needs a snow, and when the hidden things in the snow are removed, it will be able to stabilize the country of my Yuwen clan, and it will be unprecedentedly stable. ”
Yu Wenfu bowed his head and was silent, he knew Yu Wenxiao's state of mind very well in his heart. In order to establish his dominance, the young monarch will massacre the disobedient, especially Yu Wenxiao, who has endured for a long time, and this winter massacre will be a brutal purge.
Guangyang people call the winter of Qu'an's departure as the "blood season", but all those who are related to Qu'an are either assigned to the frontier or have different heads, I don't know if Yuwenxiao killed too much or something else, the snow has been falling this winter, so much that many people have frozen to death, resulting in the Northern Zhou Dynasty being busy with disaster relief, and there is no extra mind to adjust the army, slowing down the sanctions against Qu'an, so that it has a chance to breathe.
"Boss... Aren't we going to find Qu Gong? How did we get into the team to send the princess to get married?"
"You whisper to Lao Tzu! If someone hears it, I'll be done..."
"But... Boss..."
"Guangyang City will usher in a huge purge, everything that is in the light or in the dark will be exposed to the sun, perhaps...... Maybe I won't be able to come to Guangyang again..."The Impressionist instinct told himself that once he left, there would be no other day to return here. The Impressionists were reluctant at this time, his eyes showed regret and regret, but reality told him that it was time to leave.
Xiao Ji's army walked in the endless snow, the farther away from Guangyang, the less snow in the sky, the original group of people piled up a lot of snow, and there was no longer such goose feather snow on the road ahead.
"General Xiao, you haven't discussed the route of the march with us yet, how to choose this route?" [Han Dang] General rode over from behind the queue and caught up with Xiao Jicai to slow down.
"I said Han Dang, Han Dang, this route is naturally in the heart of this general, how to walk... Just follow General Ben. Xiao Ji held the horsewhip in one hand and the reins in the other, his head did not forget to look around, and he didn't mean to look at Han Dang at all.
"It's... What do you mean? The overall plan is one, two, three, so as not to deal with emergencies..."Han Dang obviously disagreed with Xiao Ji's statement.
Xiao Ji saw that Han Dang was so eager, and he didn't know what made this Han Dang so restless, Xiao Ji didn't plan to take Han Dang with him in the first place, if it wasn't for Yuwen Xiao to stuff this person in, he Xiao Ji would not have taken the initiative to choose this person. Xiao Ji withdrew his gaze into the distance, raised his head with the hand holding the horsewhip, and rubbed the beard on his face, which had become very hard after countless trimming and shaving, and if the weeds could not be uprooted, they would grow deeper and deeper like this beard.
"Let's go to Ganling and discuss it again. Xiao Ji said as if giving up.
"Okay, that's good, that's how it should be!" Han Dang smiled at this time, turned the horse around and walked back.
Xiao Ji glanced at Han Dang, who was far away, and said, "This veteran is really pedantic..."
"But General Xiao, do you really know this route in your heart?" [Xiao Sa] asked.
"Brother Sa, after following General Ben for so many years, you still don't believe my judgment?" Xiao Ji seemed to have already made up his mind.
"Letter... Naturally, it's a letter..."Xiao Sa glanced over and rolled his eyes.
This general Xiao Ji is notoriously casual, and often does things that are incomprehensible due to excessive pursuit of change.
"Soldiers, treacherous!
"Therefore it is possible to show that it cannot be used, to use it and not to use it, to show it far away and to show it to be near, to lure it for profit, to take it in chaos, to prepare it in practice, to avoid it by force, to scratch it with anger, to be humble and arrogant, to work hard and to leave it. Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise. ”
Before Xiao Ji could say the second half, he was finished by Xiao Sa in one breath.
"Hahaha... There is progress!" Xiao Ji said with a smile.
"General Xiao... It's not that his subordinates are talkative... There's more to this art of war, and it's not a good thing for you to study it all day long..."
"Alright, it's getting late, so go ahead and explore the way. Xiao Ji didn't listen to Xiao Sa's words for half a minute.
Xiao Sa shook his head helplessly, and left the queue on his horse.
"The combat effectiveness of the cold march and battle will be reduced by more than half... Just hope that there will be no obstacles along the way. "The person who said this was Xiao Ji's military advisor [Huang Yu].
"What Huang Junshi said hit my heart, winter is supposed to be a solar term for recuperation and hibernation, but this general is dragging all the soldiers here..."
"Haha, General Xiao doesn't have to be like this! Our army's cotton armor can withstand the cold, besides, it's just to escort the princess, where is there a war, just settle down." Huang Yu just said it in passing, he didn't have to think about it to know that it was impossible to be calm on the way.
"Indeed..."
"General, look, Xiao Sa is back. ”
Xiao Sa, who had gone to explore the way ahead, was coming towards the two of them, and when Xiao Sa drove his horse closer, he dismounted and half-knelt and half-squatted on the ground and said, "General Xiao is ten miles ahead of the barren people!"
"What about another ten miles?" Xiao Ji asked.
"No matter how many miles there are no people!" Xiao Sa didn't get up, still clasping his hands into fists and talking to Xiao Ji who was riding on a horse.
"What about Baili?" Xiao Ji didn't want to end the conversation early.
"My subordinates can't see Baili..."
"Hahahaha! Okay! Walk ten miles more and see!" Xiao Ji laughed twice, and then said, "Get up and give orders!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Sa jumped on his horse and ran towards the back of the queue, shouting as he ran: "Ten more miles!
"General Xiao, I see that there is a forest in front and a mountain on the side, if there is still a water source, it is better to set up camp here. Huang Yu looked into the distance and saw such a place.
The sky is still getting darker and darker, but fortunately, there are still points of light in the distance, so that people can't lose their fingers.
"Spread Xiao Sa to come!" Xiao Ji said to the subordinates beside him.
"Yes!" the men heard the order and left.
After a while, Xiao Sa rode a horse to Xiao Ji.
"Just now, Huang Junshi saw that there was a forest in the distance, so you should go and see if there is any water source. ”
"Order!"
Xiao Sa kept rushing in the direction that Xiao Ji pointed to.
"This cousin of yours is hard-working..."Huang Junshi looked at Xiao Sa in the distance.
"Xiao Sa is clumsy by nature, and he is half a minute slower than others in everything, if he is not driven like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to become a big thing. Xiao Ji's eyes showed a warm look.
Once the night begins, the sky becomes dark.
Xiao Sa walked to the front and found the forest, the place is a good place, this forest is backed by the mountain, but there is no water source. Xiao Sa didn't stop there, and looked around again, but there was still no trace of the water source, so he was willing to return.
"General, no water source has been found in the forest ahead. Xiao Sa preached to Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji glanced at Huang Yu and said, "What does Huang Junshi think?"
"It is taboo for soldiers not to camp in a place where there is no water source, one is afraid of arson from the enemy, and the other is that they can't find drinking water, but at this time it is winter, there is a lot of snow on the ground, and the snow is fed on it, which can still quench thirst, and the woods are covered with ice and snow and are not easy to ignite, so let's camp in the forest ahead!" Huang Yu's heart was already like a mirror. Even if there is a river ahead, it is just a frozen glacier, and the river cannot get water if it is frozen.
What Huang Junshi said was extremely true, and immediately ordered to go down and set up camp in the forest ahead. Xiao Ji said.
"Yes!" Xiao Sa finished receiving the order and galloped away to the back column.
Fan Shijin and the others were dozing off in the carriage, originally in a half-asleep state, and were completely awakened by the sound of the coming-and-going announcement.
"This General Xiao is considerate, I'm afraid that Bai Ye and I will fall asleep..."Bai Xiyue wiped his face, and patted his face with his hand, trying to sober himself up.
"Hmm... It's getting late... I don't know when I can get to the place where I camp?" Fan Shijin took away the wordless book covering his face and supported his waist.
"It should be soon, and now the report is to set up camp in the woods ahead, which should not be far from here. Wei Shujin rubbed his eyes.
"You can see the stars... Do you say, Brother Cong?" Bai Xiyue opened the curtain and looked outside, and when he saw that Liu never said anything, he reached out to pat him again, and said while patting: "Hey... From the younger brother... Haven't you woken up yet? I said brother? It's strange... How did my brother's hand become slippery and tender..."
"Who are you!?" said in unison.
The person sitting in Liu Cong's position is no longer Liu Cong, but has become a graceful woman, and her age should be similar to Liu Cong.
“... I am... Ke Qi... You are... Liu Cong's partner?" Ke Qi opened her eyes, and she didn't seem to know what was going on.
