A few days later, Chu Yujia rode out of the city on a white horse with two swords, followed by three young men in cloth clothes and swords, more than 100 horsemen and a carriage.

After going out of the city for more than ten miles, three young men in cloth clothes and swords came to Chu Yujia's side.

These three people were the three swordsmen from the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect who came to Yueling City to assassinate Wu Dangguo.

Qi Zhong intervened with Chu Yujia and said, "Senior Brother Chu, thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid the three of us senior brothers would have to fold here." ”

"It's all what should be done, after all, we are from the same school. ”

Chu Yujia smiled slightly, glanced at the sun in the sky, and said, "After you all return to the Sword Sect, don't mention this matter, no matter what happens, you have to wait until I come back from Qi Country." ”

Hearing this, Qi Chong asked with a hesitant expression, "Senior brother, are you sure you don't need the three of us to go with you?"

"No, you don't. ”

Chu Yujia looked up and smiled and said: "This time I went to Qi Country mainly for sightseeing, plus I also want to see the rivers and lakes of Qi Country, I have already walked in the rivers and lakes of Ye Country, and if I don't go to Qi Country to see, I feel a little panicked." ”

Chu Yujia arched his hand at the three of them and said, "Let's just keep the green mountains and green water flowing for a long time, and when I come back, I will go to the Sword Sect to visit the master." ”

As the words fell, Chu Yujia galloped wildly, and a hundred light horsemen followed, rushing into the distance.

The three of them were stunned in place, looking at Chu Yujia's departing back in a daze, and only after a long time did they ride their horses west under Qi Chong's shout.

Now that the army of Qi has retreated, most of the soldiers on both sides gathered on the border of Qi Ye have withdrawn, only Huling Pass is still the same.

80,000 soldiers were stationed at Huling Pass, and 40,000 local troops of Danyang County were ready to support them, which was a defensive policy that had been formulated since the founding of the Ye State, and it has not changed until now.

When Chu Yujia came to Huling Pass again, Ye Bian, the main general who had completely given up his image because he was busy with the war, had already shaved off his beard on his cheeks and put on a brand new armor.

"Congratulations to General Chu for sealing the Xibo ......"

Ye Bian, as the guard general of Huling Pass, performed better in this Qi Ye War, and has been rewarded by Zhao Yan, the king of Ye, just because of his status as a guard, even if it is a reward, it is only that the royal court sent someone to read out the king's reward will for him, how can Chu Yujia have such a blessing to be able to go to the royal city in person to receive the title.

Huling Pass has been the northwest fortress since then, and later the establishment of Ye State became the southeast gateway of Ye State, so there are very few residents living in Huling Pass, but tens of thousands of residents, the rest are all military barracks, Chu Yujia has seen before, in Huling Pass, even the mansion of the guard Yebian is very simple, and it looks like it has not been repaired for decades.

Because of the war before, Chu Yujia hadn't talked to the general too much, but now that the war had subsided, and the peace talks were not so anxious, he came directly to Yebian's mansion.

Looking at the wooden box placed on the table by Chu Yujia's soldiers, Ye Bian raised his eyebrows and asked, "General Chu, is this ......?"

"Do you remember that I told you that after the war is over, if we can all live, I will share half of the king's reward. ”

Chu Yujia smiled and said: "I can't divide the titles of Xibo and Lieutenant General between you, and don't think about the mansion in the royal court, after all, I still have to support my mother-in-law and children, and I can't share you." ”

"Throw these away, this gold and silver can still be half of yours, a thousand taels of gold, I will divide you eight hundred taels, you don't have too little, too little and no more. ”

Hearing this, Ye Bian also smiled bitterly and said, "General Chu, I didn't take this sentence seriously. ”

"But I took it seriously. ”

Chu Yujia pushed the box full of golden gold and said, "From now on, this is yours, don't send it back to me, what I gave away has never been taken back." ”

Before Ye Bian could refuse, Chu Yujia asked with a look of merit, "General Ye, you owe me wine, can you still count it?"

Ye Bian came back to his senses, shook his head again and again, and said, "How could it be......"

As he spoke, Ye Bian instructed his soldiers to prepare wine and meat, and in a short time, the wine and meat were placed on the table one by one.

Chu Yujia was not ambiguous, grabbed a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, picked up the wine bowl again, and drank it all on his back.

The land of Ye is barren, but the temperament is strong, and the wine is just as strong, drinking it into the stomach is like having thousands of knives cut through the stomach, but it is very pleasant to drink.

"Happy!"

Seeing that he was so unwelcome, how could Ye Bian be vague, and he also poured himself a big bowl of wine, drank it dry on his back, took a long sip of wine, and said: "Without General Chu, I don't know how long it will take to open this meat, and I have even forgotten what it feels like to drink." ”

"Don't say it so pitifully. ”

Chu Yujia said with a smile: "This Huling Pass is not your own decision, although there is a military order in the army that you can't drink alcohol when marching, but here in Huling Pass, it doesn't hurt to have a drink." ”

"Then you don't understand the bitterness of this Huling Pass......"

How could he not understand?

The extent to which the conditions of Huling Pass are poor is obvious to all, the atmosphere is tense on weekdays but there is no war, even if there is a war, the royal court will send a general to take over the position of commander alone, and the main general of Huling Pass who has merit cannot be shared, and there is a lot of hard work.

In the entire Ye Kingdom, I don't know how many people will be introduced to King Ye and local officials every day, but these people are not willing to go to two places.

One of them is the northwest border, that is, the place where Chu Yujia's father Chu Qianwen was before, Shuiyun County, Humaguan.

Humaguan in Shuiyun County is close to Gumo country, and there are countless desert tribes, and there are three counties in the county, one county capital, and one Humaguan.

Humaguan may be harassed and attacked by cavalry on the desert at any time, not to mention anything else, just say that in the past three years of Chu Qianwen's absence, the Northwest Army has no leader, which also makes the desert tribes see the hope of advancing eastward, so there are more than four main generals who have died on the battlefield in the northwest over the years, and there are countless pioneer deputy generals who have been seriously injured and have to return to their hometowns.

If Humaguan is the place where talented people in Ye State are most reluctant to go, then Huling Pass is a place where talented people in Ye State are even more unwilling to go.

The defenders of Huling Pass cannot leave here without the approval of the royal court, which means that the defenders are basically trapped in this small Huling Pass all year round, and they may stay for several years or even more than ten years.

Humaguan can at least fight and release his emotions on the enemy, but this Huling Pass basically does not fight, but as long as it fights, it is a national war.

It's okay during the national war, but at other times, for them, it's a boring life, and even normal people can drive them crazy.

Just ask the world, how many really talented people are willing to be here?

Thinking of this, Chu Yujia even felt some sympathy for the general in front of him.

The brighter the smile in front of him, the more sad Chu Yujia felt.

Once upon a time, his sentence 'Since ancient times, I have only seen Lang Jun go west, how can I see Lang Jun returning to the east?' refers to those soldiers in the northwest, but the soldiers in the southeast are not a few points worse.

Chu Yujia simply picked up the wine jar directly, poured a full bowl of wine, and said, "Don't say anything else, drink." ”

"Dry. ”

The two bumped bowls and laughed heartily.

The amount of wine on the edge of the leaves is good, and Chu Yujia drank it bowl after bowl, and it didn't take long, and the two big jars of wine had already bottomed out.

Chu Yujia is very comparable to his physique, so he is only slightly drunk until now, and although the amount of alcohol in the leaf is not bad, when he talks at this time, he is inevitably a little unclear.

Ye Bian grabbed Chu Yujia's shoulder, sighed and said, "Brother Chu, you don't know, how much I envy you." ”

"What do you envy me?"

"I envy you for being like a fairy, you can go wherever you want, like me?"

"It's been five years, and I've only been home once in those five years, and my son doesn't know me anymore. ”

At the wine table, he only talked about private matters, not government affairs, and his titles had changed.

"I get you. ”

Chu Yujia patted Ye Bian's shoulder and said: "But Brother Ye, after all, we are all men, as men, we have to be loyal to the country and serve the people on the battlefield of defending the country. ”

"Hahahahaha......"

Hearing Chu Yujia's words, Ye Bian looked up and laughed, laughing to the end, and even heard crying.

No one understands how depressed he is, and no one understands how much pressure he was under during the time when Ye Qi was fighting.

Once the Qi State breaks the city, then he will be the eternal sinner of the Ye State, and he will bear the infamy of the ages, but after the Qi army is defeated, the reward he gets is pitiful.

He admitted that Chu Yujia was indeed the most dazzling one in this war, but he was feeling worthless for his dead brothers.

Chu Yujia could understand the hardships of Ye Bian and the defenders below, but he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't help anything.

Chu Yujia could only pick up the wine bowl and said: "Instead of thinking about those who don't have it, it's better to drink some wine and have a good time, and when you wake up, you won't know anything, come, brother will accompany you to get drunk today." ”

"Okay, then the two of us brothers will get drunk today, do it!"

On this day, Ye Bian's drunken spirit was carried away, and Chu Yujia was also walking in a hurry.

Although the two did not really worship each other, they also formed a friendship during this heart-to-heart conversation.

On the second day, after Chu Yujia woke up, he did not stay too much at Huling Pass, and passed through Huling Pass and entered the territory of Qi State.

The Qi side also attached great importance to Chu Yujia's arrival, and even Yan Nan, the second son of Qi State, and Dou Jiankai, the general of Qi State, ordered Zhao Jiancheng to go to the border of Qi Ye a few days in advance to meet Chu Yujia and his more than 100 light horsemen.

When they saw this guy who had led less than 4,000 horsemen to the capital of Qi State, they set up a banquet in Cangyang Mansion, the county capital of Anjun, to wash the dust for Chu Yujia.
