After coming out of Beitongxuan's residence, Su Changan was not in a good mood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Words like life and death are always the heaviest topics in the world.

Beitongxuan wants to die in Xiliang.

To be precise, he wanted to die alone in Xiliang.

He wanted Su Chang'an to leave, Sima Changxue to leave, and the only remaining 80,000 troops under his command to leave.

He is the only one left to block the million-strong army of the barbarian army in one pass.

It sounds magnificent, but it's actually sad.

Su Changan did not agree to Bei Tongxuan's request to let him leave, but again, he did not refuse.

He didn't want to die, at least not now.

Bei Tongxuan didn't care, and death might be a relief for him.

But Su Changan has.

He can't die.

Now that the situation in Xiliang is clear, Su Changan and Beitongxuan both understand that this Yongning Pass can't be defended.

His letter to Mu Guiyun may have some effect and bring some reinforcements to Xiliang, but compared to today's Xiliang, it is just a drop in the bucket.

The so-called building will fall, and it is difficult to support it alone, which is probably the truth.

Since Beitongxuan had made a decision, Su Changan did not persuade him.

He knew that those who wanted to die had the determination to die, and it was difficult for ordinary people to change their minds.

Don't listen to the rain like this, so is Beitongxuan.

Once, he didn't know Beitongxuan, and he didn't understand what kind of person he was able to wait for a woman who had been waiting for him so ruthlessly, but for the millions of people he didn't know.

It wasn't until Fang Cai that he suddenly understood a little.

In fact, Beitongxuan, in the final analysis, is just a poor person.

Thinking of this, Su Changan let out a long sigh, his face crawling with melancholy that should not belong to his age.

He strolled to the front of the pass, but suddenly found that the personnel scheduling on the pass seemed to be quite frequent, as if there was something abnormal, he was shocked, the spiritual power in his body was running, and his body shook and jumped towards the hundred-zhang high pass.

Such an extremely shocking appearance in the eyes of ordinary soldiers naturally inevitably attracted everyone's side eyes, but fortunately, they soon recognized Su Changan's identity, and after confirming that it was not an enemy army, those soldiers also withdrew their gaze and continued to stand at the head of the city, looking outside, as if something was happening there.

Su Changan walked quickly to the head of the city and looked down with everyone.

Maybe others can't see it really, but Su Changan has seen it very really, because he has refined the essence of the Emperor River.

A man dressed as a brute general is riding a tall horse in front of the gate of Yongning Pass, his cultivation is not bad, even if Yongning is about 100 feet high, you can clearly hear his huge voice like a bull.

"Listen to the rats in the city, your grandfather and I are here with a face and yellow sand, who dares to go out to fight!"

"Guts bandits!"

"I think you still obediently switch and surrender, and when grandpa enters the customs, I can leave you with a whole corpse!"

Seeing that no one answered him, the barbarian general did not feel that talking to himself was boring, but the more he scolded, the more interested he became, and for a time all kinds of unbearable words were endless, which made the soldiers stationed at the head of the city all show resentment.

"The southern general... General Su. But at this moment, a surprised voice sounded, Su Changan was stunned, turned his head to look, and saw a soldier in armor standing in front of him looking at him with a surprised face.

"Liu Changyu?" Because of the change of outfit, Su Changan only recognized this man who was making foolish fun at him after a while.

It was really Liu Changyu who followed him all the way from Xijiang City to Xiliang.

"Hmm. Liu Changyu nodded very happily when he saw that Su Changan still recognized him, "At the beginning, the general said that General Su was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, and this recuperation was eight months, I don't know if the general's injury has healed." ”

Liu Changyu is obviously the kind of person who is extremely grateful, Su Changan had let him go for his mother's sake, for which he was grateful to Dai Huai, and he was also very worried about not seeing Su Changan for a long time, and even recklessly ran to Beitongxuan's house to say that he wanted to visit Su Changan.

But at that time, Su Chang'an was already in the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, how could Beitongxuan conjure up a Su Chang'an to visit him, so he almost hit a wall, but now that Su Chang'an was safe, he was happy for Su Chang'an in his heart.

"It's all right. Although he had never heard Beitongxuan mention this, Su Changan probably guessed that this was Beitongxuan's excuse to cover up people's ears, and he naturally had no reason to expose it.

"Who are you?" he looked at Liu Changyu, who was obviously better dressed than ordinary soldiers, and asked with some confusion.

"Huh. Liu Changyu scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and said: "After the general was seriously ill, General Bei sent us into the garrison of Yongning Pass, and when he saw that I was still diligent, he made me a centurion and was responsible for patrolling during the day. ”

"That's right. Su Changan bowed his head and nodded clearly, "Recently, I have exchanged letters with my mother at home. ”

When it came to his mother, the smile on Liu Changyu's face was even worse, "Yes, my mother told me that her illness is also better, so I don't need to worry about being a good student here to serve the general and serve the country, which is thanks to you, general." ”

"Thank you?" Su Changan was stunned when he heard this, but he knew that Liu's mother had some old diseases. At the beginning, Liu Changyu was looking for a prescription for medicine for his mother, so he accidentally killed the medicine boy and was imprisoned. But I don't know what this illness has to do with me.

"Don't hide it anymore, general. Liu Changyu said with a determined face: "My mother's letter has told me that it was General Lituo who asked General Guan Canghai to take care of his mother, and it is strange to say that this General Guan Canghai is not only like a god in his army, but also has good medical skills, and his mother's illness fell in his hands, and the kung fu of just two or three pairs of medicine is almost better." ”

Su Changan thought about it for a while, when he left, he wanted to let Liu Changyu go, but he left some entanglements, so that he didn't ask to watch Canghai, thinking that there might be Beitongxuan's secret help.

But he didn't go into it, after all, it was a good thing that Liu's mother's illness was cured, so he smiled and said: "Then let your mother have a good life and recuperate, if there is any difficulty, just talk to me." ”

"No, no. When Liu Changyu heard this, he waved his hand again and again in some panic. "The general has helped me enough, and I am now a centurion, in addition to my own expenses, I can still have a lot of silver taels left, and my mother has no worries about food and clothing. ”

"The general is recovering from a serious illness, there must be a lot of trivial matters to deal with, if you have free time, why don't you come to look for us, I and Hu Zi and others miss the general very much. ”

"Okay!" Su Changan nodded, and was about to say something more, but when he heard the barbarian general who called for the battle, he became more and more arrogant, and the rhetoric he used became more and more filthy.

Su Changan's brows furrowed, he glanced at Liu Changyu, and asked, "This barbarian is in a formation, and no one pays attention to it?"

Liu Changyu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and he said: "I come every day, and it's annoying, but General Bei has already ordered that no one should pay attention to the barbarians' calls, let alone go out of the customs to meet the battle without authorization, otherwise they will be dealt with according to the military order." ”

Su Changan's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this.

The barbarian's shouting and scolding were endless, and after Su Changan talked with Bei Tongxuan today, his heart was already suffocated, and after listening to the barbarian general's scolding, he inevitably felt a wave of anger in his heart.

Moreover, he looked at the resentment on the faces of these guards guarding the city, and secretly felt that being scolded like this by that barbarian would damage their morale.

"I don't care about him, but now that I'm here, I can't help him be so arrogant. He said in a cold voice, his eyebrows raised, and the spiritual power around his body surged.

I only heard him shout softly, and countless long swords broke through the sky from afar at that time.

Then, under the horrified gaze of the surrounding soldiers, a pair of shining sword wings suddenly stretched out from his back.

"I'm going to meet this guy. Su Changan sneered, and the sword wings behind him shook, and he was about to swoop down.

"You dare!" But at this moment, a coquettish voice sounded.

"The archers obey orders, Su Changan has violated the military order and met the enemy without authorization, if he doesn't stop, he will shoot with me with arrows!"

The anger and killing intent in that voice did not seem to be fake, so that Su Changan, who had already jumped out of half of his body, stopped.

He turned his head to look, only to see that the ruby god general was looking at him with anger on his face at the moment.

He was puzzled, secretly feeling that what he had done was to frustrate his spirit, and he didn't understand why the red jade in front of him was so angry.

"It's hard to make this brute keep shouting. ”

After all, Su Changan is still an eighteen-year-old boy, after he talked with Bei Tongxuan today, there was an evil fire in his heart, and this barbarian general blindly shouted, so that he just found an outlet to vent, but this red jade suddenly jumped out to stop him.

This made Su Changan, who was already quite unhappy, also angry, and retorted with Hongyu loudly, which was rare.

"It's his business to shout, I'm just acting according to General North's orders. Don't rely on him behind your back to support you and do anything wrong, under the military order, the Son of Heaven will be guilty of the same crime as the common people! If you dare to transgress, the long sword in my red jade hand will never be spared!"

After that, she pulled out the long sword in her hand, and a vast spiritual power rushed out, and it turned out to be a Dao realm powerhouse.

Su Changan frowned, not that he was afraid of Hongyu, he used his cultivation to exert his full strength, and asked in the Dao realm, when he rarely met an opponent, he could only clearly feel the killing intent in Hongyu's eyes, as if as long as he really violated half a point, she would really make a move.

Now that the enemy is present, Su Changan is unwilling to have infighting with Hongyu, he gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, the spiritual power around his body dissipated, the sword wings behind him dissipated, and his body jumped back to the city wall again.

He glanced at Hongyu with slanted eyes, ignored the gazes of everyone around him, and turned around and left the castle tower alone.

......

Half a day has passed.

Su Changan came to the camp where the army was stationed, and after lunch, most of the anger in his heart disappeared.

It's just that he still doesn't understand in his heart, he can't understand why Beitongxuan still has those barbarian troops who come to call for battle every day but ignore them.

He thought about it, and he didn't feel a little bored.

His identity is a little embarrassing in this camp, naturally he is still a general of the imperial court, after all, Zhenxiguan once named him a thousand commanders, of course, this is an official position obtained from the identity of that Nanyuan.

But fortunately, the imperial court has no time to take care of Xiliang now, and Beitongxuan can now be regarded as the emperor of this Xiliang, he wants to protect Su Chang'an, naturally no one dares to question him for half a point.

It's just that his men and horses have been disrupted by Beitongxuan and incorporated into the command of various generals, although he has the name of a thousand-commander in this army, but he does not have any soldiers and horses. So there was nothing in the tent that he needed to do.

Looking at the soldiers in the camp, who were training in full swing, and the recruits who came and went to carry military supplies, he thought about today's conversation with Bei Tongxuan, and his heart was unhappy, and he couldn't raise the mind of cultivation.

Just when he was bored and was thinking about the mansion, a man dressed as a soldier walked over, "Is it Su Changan, General Su?"

The man asked with great respect.

"Exactly. Su Changan was stunned, but he still responded.

"The Ruby God will please. After receiving Su Changan's affirmative reply, the soldier said again.

"Huh?" Su Changan was a little puzzled, and secretly said that it was not Hongyu who wanted to use Fang Cai's matter to punish him, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he felt that Hongyu was not such a small-bellied person, so after he hesitated slightly, he asked the soldiers where Hongyu was and walked over.

The place where Hongyu is located is the camp where he discussed with Mo Qingling and others yesterday.

When he lifted the curtain and stepped in, the extremely beautiful female general had been waiting for him in the tent for a long time.

"Sit. Seeing Su Changan walking in, Hongyu pointed to the seat in front of the seat and said.

Su Changan sat down, but he didn't speak, just looked at the woman in front of him quietly.

Su Changan's childlike behavior fell in Hongyu's eyes, and the female general, who has always been known for her decisiveness and iron will, suddenly smiled.

It was naturally a very beautiful scenery, but Su Changan was not in the mood to appreciate it.

"What the hell is calling me?" he asked, frowning, trying to make the look on his face as serious as possible.

But the smile on Ruby's face was even worse because of this.

Su Changan's face became a little ugly, and the anger that had just dissipated in his heart surged up again, and he stood up and was about to leave.

Fortunately, Hongyu's eyes were quick, and she reached out and even pressed him down.

"Alright. Don't laugh anymore and get down to business. The woman said, her face curling into a smile.

Seeing her behaving like this, Su Changan also put away his thoughts of leaving, sat down patiently, and waited for Hongyu's next words.

"Have you seen him today?" asked Ruby, the light in her eyes dimming a little at the mention of him in her mouth.

Su Changan was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, and he must have been referring to Beitong Xuan in Hongyu's mouth.

He nodded, answering Ruby's question.

"What did he tell you?" Ruby asked.

When Su Changan heard this, the expression on his face froze, and he didn't know how to answer the woman's question, did he want to tell her how Xiliang couldn't hold it?

Hongyu looked at the silence on the face of the boy in front of her, and she had already guessed everything.

"He's also a disciple of Tianlan Academy?" asked Hongyu faintly.

Su Changan had already admitted her identity yesterday, and she had called Uncle Xuanshi of Beitong in front of this red jade, with her cleverness, such a thing naturally could not be hidden.

Therefore, Su Changan nodded again.

"Did he also tell you that Xiliang couldn't hold on and asked you to leave Xiliang?"

"Huh?" Su Changan was a little surprised, secretly wondering how Hongyu knew about this.

Although Su Changan did not answer Su Changan's question directly this time, from his expression, Hongyu also knew the answer.

The look on her face grew more resentful.

"Do you know why he ordered the barbarians to call for battle, and not for the soldiers to go out of the city to fight?"

"Afraid that the barbarian army will be deceitful?" Su Changan guessed.

Hongyu shook his head when he heard this, "He knows better than anyone that the barbarians are waiting for their starfall to arrive, and until then, they will never really attack the city." is still called by the barbarian generals, and does not fight with them, it is okay for a while, but after a long time, it will only break their morale. ”

Su Changan frowned and nodded when he heard this, he also understood this reason, it stands to reason that Beitongxuan, who has been marching and fighting for many years, has no reason not to understand. And this makes his military order seem particularly strange.

"The 80,000 horses under his command are all soldiers who have been fighting for many years, counting the 30,000 under his command before, the 100,000 brought from Chang'an, and the army integrated by all parties, there used to be 200,000 people, this short year of situation, and the barbarian army has repeatedly fought battles, although there are many victories and few defeats, but each time there are heavy losses, to now, only 80,000 remain. ”

"He had already confided in us a long time ago that Yongning Pass was difficult to hold, and he also told me separately that I should retreat to Xiliang with this army of 80,000 battles. Myself... But he wants to stay. ”

He treated his soldiers very well on weekdays, and those soldiers did not want to leave him, and expressed their willingness to fight him to the death of Xiliang. Saying this, a smile appeared on Hongyu's face, as if Beitongxuan was something that she was extremely proud of at this time. But soon the smile faded, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

"It's just that for some reason, as if he decided that Xiliang would be lost, he tried his best to let us go, although he never mentioned it again because of our objections. But he began to hold on, and gave the military order again. The 80,000 soldiers have become more and more disappointed in these days, and their morale has fallen again and again, and from time to time they have begun to desert again. Although he said that he would be severely punished, in fact he did not take any precautions, but encouraged these soldiers to leave. ”

"You and he are both uncles and nephews, why don't you help us persuade him, Yongning Pass relies on a hundred zhang natural dangers, as long as we can get the support of Wu Wang Fu 3,000, even if the barbarian star is coming, it is not without the power of a battle. This is a great country and millions of people, how can it be so handed over?"

Hongyu's words were obviously held back in her heart for a long time, but now that she has said it in one go, even Su Changan has to secretly admire the female general's family and country mind.

However, in Hongyu's expectant eyes, Su Changan shook his head.

"I can't persuade him, and I also hope that you can leave Xiliang with 80,000 soldiers. ”
